The Site to be heated has a total heated area of square metres [insert amount in sq.m.]. 2.2 The Client undertakes to purchase heat for the purposes specified in Paragraph 1 of this Article from the ESCO and under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 2.3 The projected annual quantity of heat consumed by the Client at the Site amounts to GJ [insert amount in GJ] for all Points for Delivery. The Client has specified its requested input in respect of all Points for Delivery at kw [insert amount in kw]. The initial price calculation has been based on the amount specified by the Client. 2.4 Heat will be supplied pursuant to the existing generally binding legislation of the Republic of Turkey, provided that the Client s heating system will have been duly regulated. 2.5 The limits of deliveries of heat are represented by Transfer Points situated on the facilities belonging to the Points of Delivery where such deliveries of heat will be directed. 2.6 Deliveries of heat will be performed by the ESCO for the entire term of the life of the present Agreement, as specified in Article 8, with the exception of pre-agreed shutdowns. The Site will be heated via a heat Transfer Station, which forms part of the ESCO s Equipment. Heat required for the heating of the Client s Points of Delivery will be carried by way of heating water supplied via the Transfer Station s secondary circuit. Temperature of such heating water constitutes the basic value as regards the determination of deliveries of heat for heating, subject to its constant flow in keeping with the designed parameters. Temperature of heating water will depend in a linear manner on the outside temperature. Hot service water will be produced via a Transfer Station and be pumped into the Client s piping system. Cold water to be heated into hot service water will be drawn from the Site. The basic value determining the deliveries of hot service water is represented by its temperature at the Transfer Point, provided that its flow is in the designed quantity and at the temperature of degrees Celsius. 2.7 The delivery shall be deemed as duly fulfilled by completing supplies of heat to the Transfer Point. The ESCO will concurrently record all measured values regarding its deliveries of heat. The Client will be provided such records together with the relevant breakdown. 2.8 The ESCO may cut down on or suspend deliveries of heat to an extent as required: a) due to an immediate threat to life, health or property of people, and due to any actions required to remedy such conditions; b) during a state of emergency occurring due to natural events, measures of State authorities required for military preparedness, accidents at power generation and distribution facilities, - 6 -

18 Schedule 2 Pricing 1. PRICE 1.1 The price for heat comprises of Variable Price and Fixed Price. Variable Price is based on the price payable for consumed gas and the price payable for electricity required to run the equipment. It shall be derived from the current offer in the amount of ( ) TL/GJ [insert monetary sum], in the maximum amount of ( ) GJ [insert amount in GJ] per year. The price will be always adjusted according to the genuine amount of the price payable for gas and electricity. 1.2 The Fixed Price represents the minimum price payable by the Client to the ESCO in the relevant calendar month, irrespective of genuine heat consumption and shall be equal to TL ( ) [insert monetary sum]. In addition to the Fixed Price, the Client will pay the Variable Price, which will reflect genuine heat consumption. 1.3 Given the required input power of kw [insert input in kw and the planned annual heat consumption of GJ [insert amount in GJ], the annual costs will be as follows: - Fixed Price: TL per year [insert monetary sum, which should be the same as the one stated in paragraph 1.2 of this Schedule] - Variable Price: TL ) [insert monetary sum that represents planned annual consumption in MJ multiplied by the current offer in MJ] - Total: TL per year [insert monetary sum that represents both the Fixed Price and the Variable Price] Unit price: Monthly advance payments: TL per GJ [insert monetary sum] - Fixed Price: TL [insert monetary sum] - Variable Price: TL [insert monetary sum] Total monthly advance payments: TL [insert monetary sum] Unit price: TL per GJ [insert monetary sum] 2. VALUE ADDED TAX 2.1 The prices shown under Paragraph 1 represent net prices. Those prices will be increased by value added tax in compliance with a current statutory amount

19 3. PRICE ADJUSTMENTS 3.1 The ESCO will be entitled to adjust the total purchase price of heat during the duration of this Agreement only in the event of: - any changes of the heat pricing rules that are set by the Government; - any substantial changes in the input prices of the heating media, or economically justified costs (e.g. inflation rate and/or changes in fuel prices) All the changes are subject to the application of the following formulas: (a) For the Annual Fixed Price, the following formula will be applicable: where: PG n = PG 0 ( * Id n/id 0) PG n = new Fixed price at the relevant year n PG 0 = initial Fixed price at the initial year of the Signing Date Id n = Turkish Statistical Institute s inflation index at the relevant year n Id 0 = Turkish Statistical Institute s inflation index at the year of the Signing Date n = index for relevant year change (b) For the Variable Price, the following formula will be applicable: PA n = PA 0 * (C 1 * G n/g 0 + C 2 * E n/e 0) where: PA n = new Variable price at the relevant year n PA 0 = initial Variable price at the initial year of the Signing Date G n = price for gas at the relevant year n G 0 = price for gas at the year of the Signing Date E n = price for electricity at the relevant year n E 0 = price for electricity at the year of the Signing Date C 1 = constant = 0.95 C 2 = constant = 0.05 The above-described price regulation is based on the following basic parameters: Annual limit of heat consumption at the Site: GJ/year [insert amount in GJ] Natural gas calorific value: MJ/m 3 [insert amount in MJ/cm] Natural gas purchase price: TL per m 3 [insert monetary sum] Electricity purchase price: TL per kwh [insert monetary sum]

20 System efficiency rate: 0.90 Term of agreement: years [insert years number] The unit cost will decrease if the annual heat consumption increases. For instance, if the amount of heat delivered increases by ( %) per cent [insert percentage: e.g. 10%], the unit price will decrease as follows: - Fixed Price: TL [insert monetary sum, which should be the same as the one stated in paragraph 1.2 of this Schedule] - Variable Price: TL per year [insert monetary sum, which should be the maximum quantity set forth in Article 2.1 of this Agreement multiplied by the current offer of TL/GJ, which is also specified in Article 2.1 of this Agreement] - Total: TL per year [insert monetary sum] The resulting unit heat price then amounts to: TL per GJ [insert monetary sum]
