The Company's response to Production Request No. 17 describes the Settlecore
system, which "sets up all the calculations specific to the contact parameters and
produces the statement for the vendor at each rate and range of megawatt hours
generated for the calendar month." Please explain if the Settlecore system can be
configured to apply different rates for each hour of metered data from a
