Should the Competent Authority fail to set the heating rate for the next calendar year, then the Marginal Heating Rate in the relevant calendar year shall not exceed the Marginal Rate for one Gcal (less VAT) specified in this clause hereof for the previous calendar year. Should the Competent Authority fail to set the heating rate for more than one (1) calendar year, then starting from the second (2) calendar year (hereinafter — the “Marginal Heating Rate Indexation Date”) when the heating rate is not set for, the Marginal Heating Rate in the relevant calendar year, as well as in every calendar year thereafter, provided that the Competent Authority doesn’t establish the heating rate, shall not exceed the Marginal Rate per one Gcal (less VAT) calculated in accordance with the provisions of this clause of the Agreement for the previous calendar year, increased by the RF CPI level in the relevant calendar year. If, as of the Marginal Heating Rate Indexation Date, the RF CPI indicator (in December in % to December of the last year) is not published, the Marginal Heating Rate subject to indexation shall be calculated after publication of the RF CPI indicator, and the new value of the Marginal Heating Rate shall be applied to the period starting from the Marginal Heating Rate Indexation Date. The Lessee shall pay extra for the heating supply as part of the Variable Part of the Lease Payment for the period from the Marginal Heating Rate Indexation Date subject to indexation, but not more than for one calendar year preceding the recalculation, within 5 (five) Business Days from the date of receipt of an appropriate invoice from the Lessor. After the heating rate for the year(s) specified is established by the Competent Authority, the Lessor is entitled, on a unilateral basis, to recalculate the Marginal Heating Rate and, if necessary, the rate for previous period(s) but no more than for one calendar year preceding the recalculation, and for the period not exceeding the period when the heating rate was established by

The Lessee shall additionally pay to the Lessor the positive delta for heating supply for the last period(s) when such delta took place within five (5) calendar days from the date of issuance by the Lessor of the invoice subject to adjustment”.

Upon elimination of such defects/damage specified herein, the part of the Security Payment remaining after its use by the Lessor to cover elimination of such defect/damages, shall be returned to the Lessee.
