Schedule LLPS customers will take service for a minimum term of five (5) years of an optional transitional load ramp period plus twelve (12) years; ... Customers taking service under Schedule LLPS may request to reduce the Contract Capacity during the term or any extension term, with the effective date of any such reduction occurring at any time after the first five (5) years of the term by up to 25 MW or ten (10) percent of the Contract Capacity (whichever figure is lower on a MW basis) (Permissible Capacity Reduction) without charge for such reduction.",

      "quote": "15. Termination of LLPS Service Agreement or Change in Schedule: In order to terminate or change rate schedules before the end of the Term or any Extension Term, the customer must provide written notice thirty-six (36) months prior to the requested date of termination or schedule change. In such circumstance, the customer will be subject to an exit fee equal to the nominal value of the Minimum Monthly Bill times the number of months remaining in the Term or Extension Term, or for twelve (12) months, whichever is greater (the “Exit Fee”). An additional fee shall apply if the customer seeks to terminate with less than thirty-six (36)-months’ notice (the “Early Termination Fee”). In such case, the Early Termination Fee shall be equal to the Exit Fee plus two (2) times the nominal value of the Minimum Monthly Bill times the number months less than the thirty-six (36)-months’ notice required for termination. The Company will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the Exit Fee amount owed by the customer. The Company shall invoice the customer no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the date the customer has indicated the termination will occur for any unmitigated costs of the Exit Fee and Early Termination Fee based on the calculation described above. The Exit Fee and Early Termination Fee (if applicable) shall be due in full within thirty (30) days of the date it receives an invoice from the Company for such fees.",
