5 §13 Scheduling Seller will perform all scheduling and if applicable, NERC e-tagging requirements for this Transaction. All scheduling shall be performed consistent with all applicable NERC, CAISO and WECC scheduling protocols. The Project Energy shall only be sourced from the Projects.

For any Product that requires a NERC e-Tag (“e-Tag”), each e-Tag shall have a Project as the source of energy, sink inside California and contain the Projects’ CEC RPS IDs (noted in table above) on the Buyer’s Designee line of the physical path in the Miscellaneous Information field. Buyer will be copied on all e-Tags and all e-Tags will be matched with RECs in WREGIS before such RECs are transferred to Buyer. Seller shall provide necessary supporting documentation, as required by the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy Commission (CEC), to Buyer for purposes of supporting product eligibility claims under California’s – such materials may include the Hourly Meter and eTag Reconciliation reporting template and the Hourly e-Tag Summary reporting template, as may be applicable for certain Product.

Seller shall be the electricity importer for purposes of California Global Warming Solutions Act, California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms, also

Green Attributes that have not yet been generated prior to the commencement of the Energy Delivery Period;
(iii) The Delivered Energy transferred hereunder is
transferred to Purchaser in real time
