I want to to reiterate that the load factor for the November 2003 through October 2004 term of the Kingsgate Agreement are [*] and will be [*]. If the load factor for the winter are [*] , then Cascade will not only pay the new fixed price detailed above, [*], but would also pay [*]. For example, if the re-negotiated load factor for next winter Is 95%, then Cascade would pay [*] or [*] of its daily Contract Quality in addition to paying the [*] per MMBtu per day on 27,037MMBtu.
