ARTICLE 3 - PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Summary Description. Seller shall in accordance with Good Industry Practice design, build, own and operate (but not dispatch) a Direct Load Control System that will, on demand (as defined in the Agreement), provide SDG&E with the ability to achieve Contract Capacity and. Energy Reduction through control of End-use Equipment at Participating Facilities within SDG&E’s retail service territory. Each Participating Facility shall have an annual maximum demand of no greater than 100kW. The aggregate Demand Reduction of Participating Facilities made available to and purchased by SDG&E under this Agreement shall be no less than one (1) MW (and targeted at 30.2 MW) but not more than 40 MW. SDG&E will pay each Participant $25/kW of Estimated Demand Reduction per Program Year pursuant to an enrollment agreement between SDG&E and each Participant.

ARTICLE 4 - CONTRACT CAPACITY AND ENERGY; DISPATCH

4.1 Contract Capacity. The Contract Capacity provided and sold by Seller and purchased by SDG&E hereunder shall be the calculated Performance Based Estimated (PBE) Demand Reduction multiplied by the total Nameplate Capacity of End-use Equipment controlled by a Control Device.

4.2 Demand Reduction. The Demand Reduction is the amount of kW/ton of Nameplate Capacity, which is reduced during the Control Season by Participating Facilities, as determined by the results of the Measurement and Evaluation Impact Study conducted in January of each year during the term of this Agreement as described in detail in Article 10 (Project Measurement and Evaluation). For the first Program Year,

-7-

Estimated Demand Reduction will be determined by an engineering estimate of the expected load reduction per ton of Nameplate Capacity. An engineering estimate will be developed by a method mutually agreed upon by both Seller and SDG&E, and could include a test at pre-determined Participating Facilities. Estimated Demand Reduction will be utilized for the first Program Year’s Estimated Contract Capacity only, and will be trued up in an Impact Evaluation Study completed at the end of the first Program Year.

4.3 Energy Reduction. The Energy Reduction provided and sold by Seller and purchased and received by SDG&E hereunder shall be the Contract Capacity multiplied by the Program Run Time as measured each Control Season.

4.4 Test Demand Reduction. Seller shall coordinate delivery of test Demand Reduction with SDG&E for each Participating Facility. SDG&E shall cooperate with Seller to facilitate Seller’s testing of each Participating Facility. SDG&E shall not be obligated to purchase any Test Demand Reduction delivered to SDG&E.

4.5 Dispatch. SDG&E’s operators shall have the right to determine, within the operating parameters as set forth in a Program Event, the dispatch control of the Participating Facilities through the SCC. Participating Facilities shall respond to SDG&E’s dispatch signal within ten (10) minutes.

ARTICLE 5 – PRICING/PAYMENT CALCULATIONS

Capacity Payments due Seller will be calculated quarterly pursuant to Section 5.2 and trued up annually after the Control Season pursuant to Article 10. The Total Annual Capacity Payment (TAP) in any Program Year will be equal to ***. In formula form, this would be:

***.

-8-

5.2 Quarterly Capacity Payments (QP_n) shall be calculated at the end of Quarter_n, as follows:

***

“Quarter” is defined as a one of four, three-month periods of November-January, February-April, May-July, and August-October, for the purposes of this Agreement.

“Estimated Contract Capacity” means the total of the Nameplate Capacity installed times the Estimated Demand Reduction in the first Program Year, and the total of the Nameplate Capacity installed times the PBE in subsequent Program Years.

“Estimated Demand Reduction” means the engineering estimate *** on Participating Facilities, provided by the Seller and approved by SDG&E.

5.3 True-Up Payments. True-Up Payments equals TAP (as of ***) less the sum of Quarterly Payments for each Program Year ending ***.

5.4 Target Contract Capacity. Target Contract Capacity (TCC) shall mean:

*** MW by May 1, 2005

*** MW by May 1, 2006

*** MW by May 1, 2007 and for duration of Agreement

5.5 Capacity Payment Adjustment (CPA): The CPA shall be determined as of *** (CPA Trigger Date). Both Seller and SDG&E agree that there is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which Seller will be able to penetrate the target market. The CPA will be calculated so that SDG&E shares in the costs Seller has

-9-

incurred if the penetration is significantly different than the Target Contract Capacity. Seller may at its sole option invoke the CPA on the Trigger Date as follows:

5.5.1 Trigger Date for CPA to be invoked is ***.

5.5.2 If the Contract Capacity is equal to or greater than ***% of the TCC on the Trigger Date then the CPA shall be zero.

5.5.3 If Contract Capacity has reached a level below ***% of the agreed upon TCC of 30.2 MW by the Trigger Date, the Seller may trigger the CPA.

5.5.4 If Seller triggers the CPA, Seller shall provide documentation to SDG&E in a form reasonably satisfactory to SDG&E of the Seller’s Actual Costs as of the Trigger Date. Seller’s Actual Costs shall be the sum of (i) capital costs (including the manufacturing and installation cost of Control Devices) (ii) Marketing expenses and (iii) and annual Program operating budgets approved by SDG&E; all burdened by an overhead factor of ***%. Additional supporting documentation of Seller’s Actual Costs shall be made available to SDG&E for audit upon request. Seller’s Actual Costs shall be provided to SDG&E no later than 30 days after the Trigger Date.

5.5.5 If Seller triggers the CPA, the CPA shall be calculated as follows:

A. Seller’s Sunk Cost Shortfall is equal to the Seller’s Actual Costs less Capacity Payments made through April 30, 2007, as adjusted by any subsequent true-up payment.

B. The CPA shall be equal to ***% of the Seller’s Sunk Cost Shortfall divided by *** if CPUC approval of the Agreement occurs prior to *** and by *** if CPUC approval occurs thereafter, as limited by paragraphs (D) and (E) below.

C. Current Year Unadjusted Capacity Payment shall be equal to WACC multiplied by CP.

D. CPA Cap: The CPA is limited as a function of the actual Capacity achieved as of the Trigger Date. The following table shows the CPA Cap in relation to actual Capacity achieved as of the Trigger Date. (Straightline interpolation shall be used where indicated in the table):

-10-


Capacity on Trigger Date (MW)	As a Percentage of Target Capacity	CPA Cap ($/kW-Yr)
³ ***	³ ***%	0
³* and <*	³* and <*%	Linearly interpolate between * (<%%) and (@*%)
³ * and <*	³* and <*%	Linearly interpolate between * (@%) and (@*%)
³ * and <*	³* and <*%	Linearly interpolate between ***
		(@*%) and * (@***%)
< ***	< ***%	***

E. Limitations on CPA Payments: If the CPA is triggered by Seller then in each and every year the CPA payment shall be limited, but not made negative, such that the total cost of delivered capacity to SDG&E from Seller (sum of CP and CPA, all divided by CC), does not exceed $*** per kW. To the extent that this limitation causes a constraint on the amount of the CPA payment to Seller in any one Program Year, the constrained amount shall be carried forward to the next Program Year(s) and paid to Seller, provided that the total cost of delivered capacity during each and every Program Year does not exceed $*** per kW. Any obligation for SDG&E to pay Seller any unpaid CPA shall terminate at the end of the Term of the Agreement, unless the Agreement has been terminated pursuant to an SDG&E Event of Default.

5.6 Purchase Option. SDG&E will. have the option to purchase the Direct Load Control System for $*** at the end of the *** Control Season (or at the end of the *** Control Season if CPUC approval is not obtained by March 1, 2004).

5.7 CPA Payments Applied to Purchase Option. The total CPA payments made during the term of the Agreement under Section 5.4 above shall serve as an offset to the purchase option price described in Section 5.6.

5.8 Payment for Contract Energy. Contract Energy shall be delivered at no cost to SDG&E for the first *** Program Run Hours in each Program Year. SDG&E shall pay Seller $*** per kWh for all Program Run Hours over *** in any single Program Year.

5.9	Payment Terms.

5.9.1 Quarterly Capacity Payments will be made by SDG&E to Seller within 30 days from receipt by SDG&E of each Quarterly Capacity Payment calculation.

9.3 Preventive, Routine, Non-Routine and Repairs. Seller shall be responsible for preventive, routine and non-routine maintenance and repairs (“Maintenance”). Maintenance will be performed on a basis that ensures reliable long-term and safe operation, and will be performed by knowledgeable, trained and experienced personnel utilizing proper equipment and tools.

9.4 Systems Quality Assurance. Seller shall be responsible for inspecting each Control Device at least every five (5) years. Inspections will be conducted at a rate of 20% per year. The inspection will ensure that each Control Device is operational and has the ability to control Participants’ End-use Equipment. If the inspection reveals that the Control Device is not operating or is disconnected, Seller shall be responsible for restoring the Control Device to Commercial Operation immediately.

9.5 Seller Monitoring and Testing. Seller shall be responsible for conducting routine monitoring and testing to ensure equipment is functioning as designed. SDG&E will be notified of these routine system tests.

9.6 SDG&E Monitoring and Testing. SDG&E will, at its sole cost, conduct an annual test of the system to ensure the dispatch system is operating as designed, and that dispatch signals are being received at Participating Facilities. This test will be conducted in April of each Program Year, to be assured the system is operating as designed in time for the beginning of the Control Season on May 1. This test shall consist of initiating a single Program Test Event for a minimum of one hour and a maximum of two hours during the period of noon to six p.m. during the month of April. SDG&E will not pay for Energy Reduction during this test, nor will these hours count as Program Run Hours for purposes of Energy Payments.

9.7 Reporting. Seller will be requested to provide weekly Customer Contact Logs and Monthly Customer Participation Reports. Customer Participation Reports should include but not limited to: program enrollment activity, repairs, customer complaints and resolution, and ad hoc reports as requested.

ARTICLE 10 - PROJECT MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION

10.1 Impact Evaluation Study. The purpose of the Impact Evaluation Study is to determine an aggregate Performance Based Estimate of Demand Reduction (“PBE”) achieved by Participating Facilities during each Control Season. The PBE will be determined from a representative sample as described in this section. SDG&E will install metering to collect Participating Facility’s total energy and end-use load data for the representative sample. At the end of each Control Season, SDG&E will evaluate the load meter data and determine the PBE, in terms of a kW per-ton demand reduction. This kW per ton reduction will be applied to the Nameplate Capacity at each facility to determine the aggregate PBE for all Participating Facilities for the entire Program Year. During the month of January of each Program Year, SDG&E will provide the PBE based on the

-13-

immediately preceding Control Season. Results from each year’s PBE determination will be used to determine the Weighted Average Contract Capacity (“WACC”) used in determining both the Total Annual Capacity and Energy Payments, and to set the Estimated Contract Capacity for the next Program Year pursuant to Section 5.9. A new PBE will be calculated each year in the same manner during the course of this Agreement.

10.2 Process Evaluation Study. At the end of the first Program Year, a Process Evaluation Study will be contracted out by SDG&E to a third party contractor to provide an objective evaluation of the Program from a process perspective. This study will include Participant and non-participant interviews to evaluate the Marketing, Recruitment, and Installation processes, and will include a recommendation of process improvements that could be made in subsequent Program Years to increase participation in the Program, if necessary. Upon completion of the Process Evaluation Study, SDG&E and Seller will meet and determine which, if any, of the recommendations to implement. Changes to incentives, as well as any other significant structural changes to the Program will have to be approved by the CPUC prior to implementation. Elements of the Process Evaluation Study should include, but not be limited to: 1) appropriateness of the customer incentive, 2) identification of barriers to participation, and 3) overall perception of the Program. Results of the Process Evaluation Study will be shared with the Seller upon completion. Seller will incorporate mutually agreed upon changes, following CPUC approval, if necessary. SDG&E is responsible for paying for the Process Evaluation Study.

10.3 Metering Requirements.

10.3.1. Participating Facilities Metering. In order to measure the PBE for each Program Year, Interval Data Recorders (“IDR”) will be installed by SDG&E at a minimum of 100 Participating Facilities to serve as a statistical sample that is representative of the population of Participating Facilities. Participating Facilities will have IDR meters installed to measure both the electrical energy consumption of the whole facility, as well. as the consumption of the End-use Equipment, e.g. the compressor/condensing unit). These recorders will provide 15 minute energy consumption. Whole facility data includes all loads at the Participating Facility, including without (imitation the AC condenser. During the Installation Phase (up to three years or when the Program has reached the Capacity Cap of 40 MW), additional IDR meters may be installed as needed to accurately represent the current Participating Facilities in each Program Year. The M&E Plan assumes a maximum of 300 meters installed at Participating Facilities (with two meters at each Facility).

10.3.2 Metering If Participating Facilities Too Few. If there are too few Participating Facilities to warrant sampling, as determined by SDG&E, the population will be metered, at the sole cost of SDG&E, for purposes of determining PBE.

-14-

10.3.3 Sample Group. In order to provide a baseline from which to measure the PBE, the sample will be randomly assigned into two groups, Group A and Group B. During curtailments only one of these groups will receive the curtailment signal (the “Curtailed Group”) and the other group will not receive a curtailment signal (the “Comparison Group”). The two groups will be alternated for each successive event. The Comparison Group will not be excluded for the purposes of determining capacity and energy payments pursuant to this Agreement.

10.4 Sample Selection. SDG&E shall be responsible for the selection of a representative sample for the Participating Facilities sample, based upon installation logs of Participating Facilities as they are completed. The sample may be increased or changed from year to year to ensure an accurate profile for Participating Facilities characteristics. Seller shall provide SDG&E weekly installation logs, no later than seven (7) days after the week’s installations are complete pursuant to Appendix B.

10.5 Calculation of PBE. The PBE will be derived from estimates for both the Curtailed Group and the Comparison Group coincident to System Peak. For the coincident System Peak 15-minute interval during a Program Event, the average of the observed load for units in the Curtailed Group will provide a preliminary, unadjusted estimate of savings for each potentially contributing unit and this estimate will be subtracted from the corresponding observed average load for the Comparison Group. The difference calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is the controladjusted savings per potential contributor and when divided by the average Nameplate Capacity of both groups and then multiplied by four (4) is called the PBE ( or as may be adjusted for stratification as appropriate). It is intended that the peak interval of Demand Reduction used for the calculation of PBE shall be based on the interval that is coincident with System Peak; provided, however, that interval shall not be the first full 15-minute interval of the Program Event. It is understood, however, that this one-to-one correspondence may not occur. In the event that the Program Event for this calculation does not correspond with SDG&E’s System Peak or occurs in the first full 15-minute interval of the Program Event, then the associated peak Demand Reduction interval will be discarded and replaced with the greater of (i) the previous year’s PBE, if available or (ii) the data from the highest System Peak day when a Program Event was called grossed up based on metered data from the highest System Peak day.

10.6 Responsibility of Each Party for Metering and Evaluation.

10.6.1 Seller Responsibility. Seller is responsible to provide to SDG&E information on each Participating Facility during the Installation Phase, including customer name, account number, if available, and the meter number, service address, billing address, contact name and the Nameplate Capacity of the End Use Equipment where the DCU is installed. The Seller will provide this information to SDG&E on a weekly basis during the Installation Phase or until the 40MW Program Cap is achieved.

10.6.2 SDG&E Responsibility. SDG&E shall provide its sample design to Seller prior to the first Control Season, and actual data on a sample basis of demand

-15-

reduction achieved by Participating Facilities after each Control Season in order to allow Seller an opportunity to review and, as necessary, consult with SDG&E as to the methodology of data sample design prior to and during the first Control Season and the accuracy of the actual demand reduction data resulting from the sample that is statistically representative of the performance of the Participating Facilities during each Control Season.

Metering. SDG&E will design the metering sample for Participating Facilities, conduct site investigations, and install all equipment necessary to measure the PBE.

Data Validation. SDG&E will be responsible for validating both whole premise and end-use meter data. Validation will primarily consist of visual verification and reasonableness of load data, including checking for missing values and zeros. Zeros in the data will be investigated to ensure validity. Zeros in end-use load may be valid, however, zeros in the whole premise load would require further investigation and possible sample replacement. Meter load data shall be included at SDG&E’s sole discretion.

Calculation of PBE. SDG&E will utilize the metering data obtained from the sample of meters at Participating Facilities and conduct the study, which will provide the PBE in kW per installed ton of End Use Equipment.

Sharing of measurement and evaluation data with Seller: SDG&E will share results of measurement and evaluation measured data with Seller upon verification that the Customers whose data is being shared have consented in writing that their demand and consumption data may be shared with Seller.

True up of previous Program Year’s PBE. SDG&E shall utilize annual PBE to provide a true-up Contract Capacity to the SDG&E Program Manager responsible for Capacity and Energy Payments made to Seller, in order for the True — up Payment and Energy Payment to be made by January 31 of each year. True up data will be applied to the following Program Year’s Estimated Contract Capacity.

ARTICLE 11 - BILLING AND PAYMENT

11.1 Billing Statement, Payment and True-Up. The Quarterly billing period shall be based on Program Year Quarters as defined for this Program in Article 5.

11.1.1 Seller Responsibility. Seller shall prepare and submit a quarterly bill to SDG&E showing (i) a verified list of units that were installed in the previous Quarter, and (ii) a list of units that were installed prior to the beginning of the previous Quarter, each with their Nameplate Capacity, Estimated Demand Reduction per kW (in first Program Year) or PBE (in all subsequent Program Years) and the mutually agreed upon price.

-16-

11.1.2 SDG&E Responsibility.

A. SDG&E shall pay the quarterly invoice within 30 days.

B. No later than thirty (30) days after the end of each Control Season, SDG&E shall prepare, and provide to Seller, by first-class mail, a statement showing purchases by SDG&E from Seller with respect to the Participating Facilities, for the previous Program Year. The statement will list: (i) all Participating Facilities for that Program Year, (ii) all Program Events called, including the date, time and duration of each Program Event, and (iii) the Total Program Run Hours, (iv) the Estimated Demand Reduction and/or PBE attributed to each Participating Facility for each quarter, (v) the total Contract Capacity and Demand Reduction used to determine the Quarterly Capacity Payment, as set forth in Article 5, and any other data reasonably pertinent to the calculation of quarterly payments due to Seller. A True-Up of the difference between the quarterly payments made based on estimates and what should have been paid according to the results of the M&E Impact Evaluation Study as described in Article 10 will be made by January 31 of each Program Year.

11.2 Late Payments. Unless otherwise specified herein, payments due under this Agreement shall be due and payable by check or by wire transfer, as designated by the owed Party, on or before the thirtieth (30^th) day following receipt of the billing invoice. Remittances received by mail will be considered to have been paid when due if the postmark indicates the payment was mailed on or before the thirtieth (30) day following receipt of the billing invoice. If any amount due is not paid on or before the due date, a late payment charge shall be applied to the unpaid balance and shall be added to the next billing statement. Such late payment charge shall be calculated based on one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the LIBOR three-month rate published on the date of the invoice in The Wall Street Journal (or, if The Wall Street Journal is not published on that day, the next succeeding date of publication). If the due date occurs on a weekend or Holiday, the late payment charge shall begin to accrue on the next succeeding business day.

11.3 Billing Disputes. To resolve any billing dispute, the Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article 13. When the billing dispute is resolved, the Party owing shall pay the amount owed within five (5) business days of the date of such resolution, with late payment interest charges calculated on the amount owed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2. SDG&E at any time may offset against any and all amounts that may be due and owed to Seller under this Agreement, any and all undisputed amounts, including damages and other payments, that are owed by Seller to SDG&E pursuant to this Agreement or are past due under other accounts Seller has with SDG&E for other services. Undisputed and non-offset portions of amounts invoiced under this Agreement shall be paid on or before the due date or shall be subject to the late payment interest charges set forth in Section 11.2.

Creating a Load Control Schedule

SDG&E will have the ability to create a load control schedule, using the PowerCAMP™ web interface. Events can be scheduled for the entire district, or by substation or by individual circuit.

After logging into the PowerCAMP™ LMS, the system displays the main screen, where load control periods may be scheduled. SDG&E shall define the coverage area for the dispatch event. SDG&E will then specify the date, time and duration of the control event by using the calendar function in the LMS Web Interface.

The web interface will display confirmation of the subset of selected control targets and the selected time, date and duration.

Scheduling Control Events

Once a schedule has been created, SDG&E may then submit that schedule to the LMS to be activated as a dispatch control event. Within two minutes the system will processes the schedule and updated system status will be available.

Dispatching Control Events

Once a control event has been scheduled by SDG&E the PowerCAMP™ LMS will execute that control event by dispatching control commands via the RF network to the DCUs connected to the participating facility’s A/C unit. Once PowerCAMP™ LMS issues the control event all participating facilities will be controlled within 10 minutes.

Monitoring System Status

PowerCAMP™ Web provides the ability for SDG&E to monitor the status of all currently submitted control schedules through the System Status tab on the main menu. The status screen displays all current and future schedules that are in the system beginning at 00:00:00 hours (midnight) of the current day.

Once a schedule begins to execute, PowerCAMP™ Web will report the time remaining for that control period.

The Status field shows the current status of each scheduled event, which can be any of the following:


Status		Description
Inactive		No schedule submitted

Pending		Schedule was submitted, but load control has not begun

Executing		The system is under load control as specified in the schedule

Done		The system finished executing the load control schedule

Restoring		After executing the schedule, the system is updating the database

Error		There was error in processing this schedule

LMS Logging and Reporting Schedule Reports

PowerCAMP™ LMS includes extensive logging and PowerCAMP™ LMS Web provides SDG&E with ability to generate daily and monthly reports of the LMS control schedules.
