monthly adjusted demand Less the agreed to load reduction. The PDL in months without a control period will not be less than the greatest PDL of all months with a control period during the preceding eleven months. Any customer with generating equipment which is operated in parallel with Company must comply with all requirements associated with Parallel Operations specified in the General Rules and Regulations of Company. The PDL may be revised within or after the trial period subject to approval by Company. If the revision of the PDL occurs within the trial period, the customer pays the demand charge differential for the corresponding months of the contract in the trial period multiplied by the number of kilowatts (kW) the customer increases the PDL. Charges for the failure to control to their PDL are forgiven. (The customer will be credited any paid penalties against the recalculated amount.) If the revision of the PDL occurs after the trial period, the same calculation is made for the most recent months up to but not to exceed 18. In this case, however, the customer is responsible for the greater of the following: (a) the amount determined by multiplying the demand charge differential by the PDL increase, as described above, or (b) the total amount of any penalties paid/owed for failure to control load to the previous PDL. 11. TRIAL PERIOD AND CANCELLATION CHARGE: Company agrees that the first twelve months of this agreement will be a trial period. Customer must notify Company in writing to terminate this agreement during the trial period. If customer terminates this agreement during the trial period, Customer's Peak - Controlled Tiered Service or Peak - Controlled Tiered Time of Day Service bills will be recalculated using the corresponding firm rate (General Service or General Time of Day Service). Customer will be charged the difference between the recalculated amount and the amount charged under the corresponding Peak - Controlled rate. Also, customer will receive a refund for any additional charges which were assessed during the trial period due to customer failure to control load. A trial period for Peak - Controlled Tiered Service or Peak - Controlled Tiered Time of Day Service will not be available to any customer account that has previously received either service, or the closed Peak - Controlled or Energy - Controlled Services. Customer will pay a cancellation charge after the twelve month trial period, if Customer terminates this agreement or this agreement is terminated as a result of any default of Customer. The cancellation charge will be the difference between the billing amounts described above, for the most recent 18 months for Tier 2 or 36 months for Tier 1 of Peak - Controlled Tiered Service or Peak - Controlled Tiered Time of Day Service. Customer will not receive a refund for any additional charges which were assessed during this 18 or 36 month period due to customer failure to control load.

CONTROL SYSTEM: Customer agrees to control loads to the limits contained in this agreement and upon notice from the Company to reduce load to levels predetermined by this agreement. 13. FAILURE TO CONTROL: If in any month customer fails to control load to predetermined demand level when requested by Company, the additional charge specified in the Rules for Application of Peak - Controlled Tiered Services and Peak - Controlled Services (closed) shall be applied to the amount by which customer's maximum adjusted demand during any control period exceeds predetermined demand. If customer incurs three failures to control load to predetermined demand level when requested by Company, the Company reserves the right to renegotiate the predetermined demand level or remove customer from Peak - Controlled Tiered or Peak - Controlled Tiered Time of Day Service. In a case where customer is removed from Peak - Controlled Tiered or Peak - Controlled Tiered Time of Day Service, customer will be subject to a cancellation charge specified in customer's Electric Service Agreement. 14.
