13.2        Liquidated Damages. The following liquidated damages may apply for a breach by Ener1 of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to each Unit:

13.5        Delay in Payment. If MGTES, due to its own fault, is delinquent on any payment required under this Agreement by more than five business days for a reason other than a Force Majeure, Ener1 may charge MGTES liquidated damages at the rate of 0.1% on the amount due for every calendar day of the delay until the same is paid in full, provided that the aggregate amount of the liquidated damages paid by MGTES under this Section 13.5 cannot exceed 10% of the amount of the delayed payment.
