E-4. Approval of Energy and Capacity Non Exclusive Brokerage Agreement
UB-185 APPROVED UTILITY BOARD 03/25/19 Approval of Non Exclusive Brokerage Agreement March 25, 2019 Page 2 shutdown. Given this shortage of supply, Staff now finds that there is value in using broker services for procurement of energy and capacity products as more creditworthy power suppliers are now using brokers exclusively. Staff would continue to solicit offers directly from sellers as well and then select the offer with the lowest overall cost to the City, inclusive of broker fees. The service fee, or broker commission, would be paid separately to the broker for their services and the energy and capacity products would be purchased from the seller under the existing WSPP agreement. Under the proposed non-exclusive brokerage agreement, ALW is under no obligation to select any prospective counterparties or engage in any transaction procured by the broker. FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds in FY 18/19 and FY 19/20 will be allocated accordingly from Power Resources division budget with recommended actions of this consent item. Prepared by: Reviewed and Approved: Richard Torres Manny Robledo Assistant Director of Utilities – Resource Management Director of Utilities Tim Vuong Senior Power Resources Coordinator Reviewed and Approved: Sergio Gonzalez City Manager Attachment: 1)Non-Exclusive Brokerage Agreement 2)Western Systems Power Pool Agreement Due to the length of below documents, they are only being distributed electronically.

NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL PROMISES, COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN CONTAINED, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Broker’s Services. (a) Azusa shall from time to time issue a request for offers, including the Broker, for the purchase of Products ("Request for Offers"). Within the Request for Offers, Azusa shall set forth the terms and conditions on which Azusa, in its sole discretion, desires to purchase WSPP Products (“Client Direction”). In order to participate in the solicitation, the Broker shall submit an offer ("Broker Offer") in response to a Request for Offers. Azusa will review any Offers timely submitted and may select, in its sole discretion, a counterparty in accordance with the applicable Request for Offers. By entering into this Agreement, Azusa does not give any guarantee to the Broker that Azusa will select Broker to provide any Broker Services, as such services are defined below.

(a) Azusa will pay Broker a fee for the Broker Services at a rate not to exceed [COMMISSION RATE] percent ([X.X%]) of the aggregate total purchase price to be paid by Azusa for the WSPP Products pursuant to a Transaction Agreement ("Maximum Rate"). The actual fee ("Fee"), which Azusa will pay Broker for a particular Transaction, shall equal that rate set forth in the applicable Broker Bid; provided, the Fee does not exceed the Maximum Rate. No Fee shall be deemed earned by Broker until such time that (i) agreement for Energy and Capacity Products is executed with the Seller, and (ii) Broker is the sole procuring cause of the Transaction in conformance with Section 6(a) (collectively, "Fee Payment Conditions"). (b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Fee shall be paid in full within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of all of the following (i) the fulfilment of the Fee Payment Conditions, and (ii) Azusa’s receipt of Broker’s invoice for the Transaction with supporting documentation which is reasonably satisfactory to Azusa. (c) The Fee shall be Broker’s full and sole compensation for the Broker Services provided to Azusa under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Azusa may require Broker to travel to meet potential counterparties. In such case, Azusa shall reimburse Broker for travel expenses (including airfare, meals and all other expenses incurred during travel on behalf of Azusa) associated with a Transaction. Such reimbursement will be made only for such travel that is approved in writing in advance by Azusa. (d) By entering into this Agreement, Azusa does not give any guarantee to Broker that Azusa will enter into a compensable Transaction Agreement. 3. Compliance with Laws and Regulations; Commercially Reasonable. (a) The Broker represents and warrants that it shall at all times comply with all applicable federal and state laws (including all rules, regulations and orders thereunder) in its performance under this Agreement and, if applicable, any Transaction. The Broker further represents and warrants that (i) it has the legal right, power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement, and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any agreement or other instrument to which the Broker is a party. If any of the foregoing representations should become untrue, incorrect or misleading, the Broker agrees to notify Azusa promptly in writing thereof. (b) In performance of the Broker Services, Broker shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to identify and contact potential counterparties desiring to sell WSPP Products and facilitate the negotiation of terms of each Transaction between Azusa and the counterparty. 4. Independent Contractor. Broker is an independent contractor and will not through performance of the Broker Services become an agent, partner or employee of Azusa. Broker is not granted any authority UB-188 3 or responsibility, express, implied or apparent, to bind or act on behalf of Azusa. Broker shall be responsible for the manner of performing its Broker Services. Broker shall be responsible for all taxes payable with respect to amounts paid to Broker by Azusa hereunder and, unless required by law, Azusa shall not withhold any taxes from amounts payable to Broker hereunder. Broker hereby represents to Azusa that no such withholding is required. In the performance of the Broker Services, Broker does not and cannot act as a principal to, or take title to, the WSPP Products. 5. Confidentiality. (a) "Confidential Information” means, with respect to a Party hereto, all information or material which either (1) is marked or identified as “Confidential,” “Restricted,” or “Proprietary Information” or other similar marking or identification, or (2) the other Party knew, as recipient, or under the circumstances, should have known, was considered confidential or proprietary by the Disclosing Party (as defined below). Confidential Information shall consist of all information, whether in written, oral, electronic, or other form, furnished in connection with this Agreement by the Disclosing Party or its Representative (“Representative” is defined as any elected and appointed officials, affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent, advisor or consultant of a Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) to the Receiving Party (defined below) or to its Representative, and specifically includes but is not limited to Azusa’s individually identifiable customer information, and Azusa’s customer usage data and financial data. (b) Azusa and Broker shall each hold the other’s Confidential Information in confidence. Neither Party shall make the other's Confidential Information available in any form to any third party or use the other's Confidential Information for any purpose other than as specified in this Agreement. The Party providing Confidential Information (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”) shall remain the sole owner of such information. Except as provided elsewhere within this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring any right or license in any Confidential Information or in any patents, copyrights, software or other technology, either expressly or by implication to the Receiving Party, or to its Representatives or to others. The term Confidential Information shall not include any of the following: (1) information already in possession of, or already known to, the Receiving Party without an obligation of confidentiality at the time of the disclosure; (2) information in the public domain at the time of the disclosure, or which, after such disclosure, enters into the public domain through no breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representative(s); (3) information lawfully furnished or disclosed to the Receiving Party by a non-party to this Agreement without any obligation of confidentiality and through no breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representative(s); (4) information independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (5) information authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party to be released from the confidentiality obligations herein. (c) In connection with the services contemplated herein, each Party hereto may disclose to the other Party information that is Confidential Information. This Agreement does not diminish, revoke or supersede any existing confidentiality, non-disclosure or similar agreement between the Parties that does not pertain to the subject matter of this Agreement. However, any Confidential Information, whether or not previously disclosed, that is disclosed UB-189 4 pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by the terms of this Section 5 which shall supersede any such previous agreement with respect to such Confidential Information and to the extent that any such Confidential Information that was exchanged under such previous agreement it shall be treated as though it was exchanged under this Agreement as of the date of such exchange. (d) The Receiving Party will treat all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, no matter written, electronic, or oral, as confidential and proprietary, and the Receiving Party shall only use such information in furtherance of this Agreement. As such, the Receiving Party shall hold in confidence the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and ensure that such Confidential Information is not disclosed to any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or as authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party. Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party received under this Agreement to any person other than its Representatives who require knowledge of such Confidential Information in furtherance of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall inform its Representatives of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and advise such Representatives of the limitations on the use and disclosure and prohibition on making copies or summaries of such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its Representatives. (e) If the Receiving Party becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or is requested Confidential Information pursuant to the California Public Records Act or similar law, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of such an occurrence (if so permitted) as soon as possible. Thereafter, at its sole costs and expense, the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. So long as it is consistent with applicable law, the Receiving Party will not oppose action by, and the Receiving Party will cooperate with, the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. If the Disclosing Party fails to obtain such protective order or other remedy, or if the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the requirements of the preceding sentence, the Receiving Party will disclose only that Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose, and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts, at Disclosing Party’s expense, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed. (f) In the event the Receiving Party discloses, disseminates or releases any Confidential Information, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, such disclosure, dissemination or release will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and the Disclosing Party may demand prompt return of all Confidential Information previously provided to the Receiving Party. As soon as the Receiving Party becomes aware that it has made an unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall take any and all necessary actions to recover the improperly disclosed Confidential Information and immediately notify Disclosing Party regarding the nature of the unauthorized disclosure and the corrective measures being taken. Each Party agrees that any breach of their confidentiality obligations could cause irreparable harm to the other Party, the amount of UB-190 5 which would be extremely difficult to estimate. Accordingly, it is understood and agreed that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any material breach of this Section 5 of this Agreement and that specific performance and injunctive relief in addition to monetary damages shall be appropriate remedies for any breach or any threat of such breach. The provisions of this Section 5(f) are in addition to any other legal rights or remedies the Disclosing Party may have. (g) Within two (2) weeks of the termination of this Agreement, Broker will return to Azusa or destroy, to the extent permitted by law, any and all Confidential Information, including all originals, copies, translations, transcriptions or any other form of said material, without retaining any copy or duplicate thereof; provided that Broker may retain Confidential Information contained on backup media created in the ordinary course of business provided further that there is no effort to access such Confidential Information and Broker's confidential obligations with respect to such information shall continue so long as such information is retained. Broker shall certify in writing the destruction of the Confidential Information. Azusa may perform an audit of Broker’s records to confirm the return or destruction of the Confidential Information. Azusa shall have this audit right for three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement. (h) Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 6. Non-Exclusivity and Non-collusion. (a) Azusa intends to work with other persons and firms to perform Broker Services in the purchase of the WSPP Products and, therefore, Broker is engaged on a non- exclusive basis. Nothing herein shall preclude Azusa from utilizing the services of other brokerage firms or similar entities to sell, purchase, hold or exchange WSPP Products, or from negotiating to sell, purchase or exchange WSPP Products with a third party without utilizing the services of Broker. It is understood and agreed that Broker shall be entitled to a Fee pursuant to this Agreement only for Transactions in which Azusa utilizes Broker’s services and Broker is the sole procuring cause of an agreement to sell WSPP Products to which Azusa is a party. (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Broker from conducting its own business, including advising and assisting other companies or individuals besides Azusa; provided however, that Broker shall not, without the express written permission of Azusa, disclose to its clients, current or prospective, the terms and conditions of Azusa’s existing or contemplated Transactions unless with regard to a solicitation for a specific Transaction. With regard to a specific Transaction, the Broker may disclose general information such as price, volume, and term to any third party, but no other information may be disclosed without the prior written permission of Azusa. 7. Term and Default. (a) This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, subject to the terms and conditions herein, shall continue for a minimum period of two (2) years thereafter. After such two (2) year period, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by either Party by providing the other Party written notice of termination, which UB-191 6 termination shall be effective on the later of (i) thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of termination, or (ii) the time set forth in the notice. (b) If a Party (the “Defaulting Party”) fails in a material way to perform its obligations hereunder (an “Event of Default”), then the other Party (i) upon giving written notice to the Defaulting Party and (ii) failure of the Defaulting Party, within ten (10) business days following delivery of such notice, to cure the Event of Default giving rise to such notice, may terminate this Agreement and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, pursue any other remedies available at law or equity. Remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise of any remedy shall not preclude the exercise of another remedy, at the same time or subsequently. 8. Exclusion of Liability and Indemnity. (a) Except to the extent mandated by applicable law, and except for any liability resulting from wilful misconduct or fraud by Broker, Broker shall not be liable to Azusa by reason of any representation or any implied warranty, condition, or other term, or any duty under applicable law, or under the express terms of this Agreement, for any loss of profit or any indirect, special or consequential losses, damages, costs, expenses, or other claims (caused by negligence or otherwise of Broker or its employees) which arise out of or in connection with the provision of the nature of the services provided by Broker to Azusa. (b) Broker shall not be liable to Azusa or be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any obligations in relation to the services provided by Broker, if the delay or failure is due to any cause beyond Broker’s reasonable control. (c) The Parties agree that the liability of Broker arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be limited to (i) the amount of fees paid or due to Broker under this Agreement plus (ii) any expenses reimbursable to Broker under this Agreement; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the event such liability arises out of conduct constituting fraud or wilful misconduct on the part of Broker. (d) Azusa represents that it will independently determine the appropriateness of any transaction that Azusa initiates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that it assumes the full risk as to the value, if any, that the Energy and Capacity Products Products may have at any time. 9.

All notices, demands or other writings to be made, given or sent hereunder, or which may be so given or made or sent by either Azusa or Broker to the other shall be deemed to have been given when in writing and personally delivered or if mailed on the third (3rd) day after being deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, and addressed to the respective Parties at the following addresses: If to AZUSA: Director of Utilities City of Azusa UB-192 7 729 N.

(2) If the Parties did not agree on the transmission path for a transaction in the Confirmation, an interruption in transmission service shall be considered an Uncontrollable Force only if (a) the Party contracting for transmission services shall have made arrangements with the entity providing transmission service for firm transmission to effectuate the transaction under the Agreement and Confirmation, (b) the entity providing transmission service curtailed or interrupted such transmission service, and (c) the Party which contracted for such firm transmission services could not obtain alternate energy at the delivery point, UB-226 alternate transmission services, or alternate means of delivering energy after exercising due diligence. No Party shall be relieved by operation of this Section 10 of any liability to pay for power delivered to the Purchaser or to make payments then due or which the Party is obligated to make with respect to performance which occurred prior to the Uncontrollable Force. UB-227 11.

Any liability or damages incurred by an officer or employee of a Federal agency or by that agency that would result from the operation of this provision shall not be inconsistent with Federal law. 21.2 Any Party due monies under this Agreement, the amounts of which are not in dispute or if disputed have been the subject of a decision awarding monies, (i) shall have the right to seek payment of such monies in any forum having competent jurisdiction and (ii) shall possess the right to seek relief directly from that forum without first utilizing the mediation or arbitration provisions of this Agreement and without exercising termination and liquidation rights under Section 22. UB-240 In addition, each Party shall possess the right to seek specific performance (injunctive relief) of the non-delivery related terms of this Agreement and any Confirmation in any forum having competent jurisdiction. In seeking to enforce the terms of this Agreement, however, consistent with Section 21.1, no Party is entitled to receive or recover monetary damages except as provided in Sections 21.3 and 22. 21.3 The following damages provision shall apply to all transactions under this Agreement. For transactions under Service Schedule A, however, this damages provision or some other damages provision will apply only if such a damages provision is agreed to through a Confirmation. The damages under this Section 21.3 apply to a Party's failure to deliver or receive (or make available in the case of capacity) capacity and/or energy in violation of the terms of the Agreement and any Confirmation. The Contract Quantity and Contract Price referred to in this Section 21.3 are part of the agreement between the Parties for which damages are being calculated under this Section. (a) If either Party fails to deliver or receive (or make available in the case of capacity), as the case may be, the quantities of capacity and/or energy due under the Agreement and any Confirmation (thereby becoming a "Non- Performing Party" for the purposes of this Section 21.3), the other party (the "Performing Party") shall be entitled to receive from the Non- Performing Party an amount calculated as follows (unless performance is excused by Uncontrollable Forces as provided in Section 10, the applicable Service Schedule, or by the Performing Party): UB-241 (1) If the amount the Purchaser scheduled or received in any hour is less than the applicable hourly Contract Quantity, then the Purchaser shall be liable for (a) the product of the amount (whether positive or negative), if any, by which the Contract Price differed from the Resale Price (Contract Price - Resale Price) and the amount by which the quantity provided to the Purchaser was less than the hourly Contract Quantity; plus (b) the amount of transmission charge(s), if any, for firm transmission service upstream of the delivery point, which the Seller incurred to achieve the Resale Price, less the reduction, if any, in transmission charge(s) achieved as a result of the reduction in the Purchaser's schedule or receipt of electric energy (based on Seller's reasonable commercial efforts to achieve such reduction). If the total amounts for all hours calculated under this paragraph (1) are negative, then neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall pay any amount under this Section 21.3(a)(1). (2) If the amount the Seller scheduled or delivered (or made available in the case of capacity) in any hour is less than the applicable hourly Contract Quantity, then the Seller shall be liable for (a) the product of the amount (whether positive or negative), if any, by which the Replacement Price differed from the Contract Price (Replacement Price - Contract Price) and the amount by which the quantity provided by the Seller was less than the hourly Contract UB-242 Quantity; plus (b) the amount of transmission charge(s), if any, for firm transmission service downstream of the delivery point, which the Purchaser incurred to achieve the Replacement Price, less the reduction, if any, in transmission charge(s) achieved as a result of the reduction in the Seller's schedule or delivery (based on Purchaser's reasonable commercial effort to achieve such reduction). If the total amounts for all hours calculated under this paragraph (2) are negative, then neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall pay any amount under this Section 21.3(a)(2). (3) The Non-Performing Party also shall reimburse the Performing Party for any charges imposed on the Performing Party under open access transmission or FERC accepted or approved tariffs for regional organizations due to the non-performance. (4) The Non-Performing Party shall pay any amount due from it under this section within the billing period as specified in Section 9 of this Agreement or agreed to in the applicable Confirmation if the Parties agreed to revise the billing period in Section 9. (5) In the event (a) two Parties entered into two or more Confirmations in which the same Party is the Purchaser and the other Party is the Seller, (b) deliveries under two or more of such Confirmations are to occur, in whole or in part, on the same date and hour, and at the same delivery point, and (c) as to such date, hour, and delivery point, and with respect to one or more of such Confirmations, a UB-243 Party is a Non-Performing Party (for purposes of this Section 21.3(a)(5), each such instance of non-performance, a “non- performed transaction”), then, as set out in this Section 21.3(a)(5), each non-performed transaction shall be identified to a Confirmation, and the Contract Price of the Confirmation to which the non-performed transaction is identified, and the Contract Quantity of the non-performed transaction, shall be applied to the calculation of amounts due under Section 21.3(a)(1) through (3), as applicable. The Parties in good faith shall seek to agree to the identification of each non-performed transaction to a Confirmation. Each non-performed transaction not identified to a Confirmation by agreement, and any megawatt hours that are not fully accounted for by such identification, shall be identified to Confirmation(s) as follows: (i) The Performing Party in good faith shall determine whether each Confirmation is real-time, day-ahead, or forward; all Confirmations that are not real-time or day-ahead shall be deemed forward Confirmations. (ii) The Performing Party in good faith shall determine whether each non-performed transaction is real-time, day-ahead, or forward; all non-performed transactions that are not real-time or day-ahead shall be deemed forward non-performed transactions. UB-244 (iii) The Performing Party shall: (x) identify real-time non-performed transactions to real-time Confirmations, provided, that if the megawatt hours of real-time non-performed transactions exceed the megawatt hours of real-time Confirmations, then such excess megawatt hours shall be identified to day-ahead Confirmations and any excess megawatt hours remaining after such identification to day-ahead Confirmations shall be identified to forward Confirmations. (y) identify day-ahead non-performed transactions to day-ahead Confirmations, provided, that if the megawatt hours of day-ahead non-performed transactions exceed the megawatt hours of day-ahead Confirmations, then such excess megawatt hours shall be identified to forward Confirmations. (z) identify all remaining non-performed transactions to forward Confirmations. The Performing Party, in its billing for amounts due under Section 21.3(a)(1) through (3), shall set out a detailed explanation of each applicable determination under parts (i), (ii), and (iii) of this Section 21.3(a)(5), and state the resulting Contract Quantity and Contract Price, and any amounts associated with each such determination under Section 21.3(a)(3). UB-245 (b) The Parties agree that the amounts recoverable under this Section 21.3 are a reasonable estimate of loss and not a penalty, and represent the sole and exclusive remedy for the Performing Party. Such amounts are payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks. (c) Each Party agrees that it has a duty to mitigate damages in a commercially reasonable manner to minimize any damages it may incur as a result of the other Party's performance or non-performance of this Agreement. (d) In the event the Non-Performing Party disputes the calculation of the damages under this Section 21.3, the Non-Performing Party shall pay the full amount of the damages as required by Section 9 of this Agreement to the Performing Party. After informal dispute resolution as required by Section 34.1, any remaining dispute involving the calculation of the damages shall be referred to binding dispute resolution as provided by Section 34.2 of this Agreement. If resolution or agreement results in refunds or the need for refunds to the Non-Performing Party, such refunds shall be calculated in accordance with Section 9.4 of this Agreement. (e) In the event non-performance of a transaction is accounted for by means of a Damages Settlement Transaction and the Damages Settlement Transaction is performed, then no damages shall be calculated or due under § 21.3(a) with respect to the non-performed transaction. Neither Party shall be required to enter into a Damages Settlement Transaction. UB-246 22. DEFAULT OF TRANSACTIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND CONFIRMATIONS: 22.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT An "Event of Default" shall mean with respect to a Party ("Defaulting Party"): (a) the failure by the Defaulting Party to make, when due, any payment required pursuant to this Agreement or Confirmation if such failure is not remedied within two (2) Business Days after written notice of such failure is given to the Defaulting Party by the other Party ("the Non-Defaulting Party"). The Non-Defaulting Party shall provide the notice by facsimile to the designated contact person for the Defaulting Party and also shall send the notice by overnight delivery to such contact person; or (b) the failure by the Defaulting Party to provide clear and good title as required by Section 33.3, or to have made accurate representations and warranties as required by Section 37 and such failure is not cured within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party; or (c) The institution, with respect to the Defaulting Party, by the Defaulting Party or by another person or entity of a bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar insolvency proceeding or other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law affecting creditor's rights or a petition is presented or instituted for its winding-up or liquidation; or (d) The failure by the Defaulting Party to provide adequate assurances of its ability to perform all of its outstanding material obligations to the Non- UB-247 Defaulting Party under the Agreement or any Confirmation pursuant to Section 27 of this Agreement or any substitute or modified provision in any Confirmation. (e) With respect to its Guarantor, if any: (i) if a material representation or warranty made by a Guarantor in connection with this Agreement, or any transaction entered into hereunder, is false or misleading in any material respect when made or when deemed made or repeated; or (ii) the failure of a Guarantor to make any payment required or to perform any other material covenant or obligation in any guarantee made in connection with this Agreement, including any transaction entered into hereunder, and such failure shall not be remedied within three (3) Business Days after written notice; or (iii) the institution, with respect to the Guarantor, by the Guarantor or by another person or entity of a bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar insolvency proceeding or other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law affecting creditor’s rights or a petition is presented or instituted for its winding-up or liquidation; or (iv) the failure, without written consent of the other Party, of a Guarantor’s guarantee to be in full force and effect for purposes of this Agreement (other than in accordance with its terms) prior to UB-248 the satisfaction of all obligations of such Party under each transaction to which such guarantee shall relate; or (v) a Guarantor shall repudiate, disaffirm, disclaim, or reject, in whole or in part, or challenge the validity of, any guarantee. 22.2 REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT 22.2(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Non- Defaulting Party, upon written notice to the Defaulting Party, shall have the right (i) to suspend performance of transactions under this Agreement; provided, however, (i) in no event shall any such suspension continue for longer than ten (10) Business Days; (ii) such suspension must include all transactions under this Agreement in effect as of the date of the suspension between the Defaulting Party and the Non-Defaulting Party; and (iii) such suspension is available only once for each default. This ten (10) day suspension period shall not affect in any way the thirty (30) day period for exercising a right of termination under Section 22.2(b). The Non- Defaulting Party shall have the unilateral right to exercise its rights under this Agreement including its termination rights at any time within the suspension period. The Defaulting Party shall have no suspension rights. In no event shall the suspension continue beyond the cure of or waiver by the Non-Defaulting Party of the applicable Event of Default. If the Non- Defaulting Party seeks to terminate the suspension period such that the suspension shall be terminated prior to the end of the ten (10) Business Day period specified above, it may do so only by providing at least UB-249 twenty-four (24) hours written notice to the Defaulting Party before the suspension may be terminated. 22.2(b) If an Event of Default occurs, the Non-Defaulting Party shall possess the right to terminate all transactions between the Parties under this Agreement upon written notice (by facsimile or other reasonable means) to the Defaulting Party, such notice of termination to be effective immediately upon receipt. If the Non-Defaulting Party fails to exercise this right of termination within thirty (30) days following the time when the Event of Default becomes known (or more than thirty days if the Non- Defaulting and Defaulting Parties agree to an extension), then such right of termination shall no longer be available to the Non-Defaulting Party as a remedy for the Event(s) of Default; provided, however, this thirty day requirement for exercising termination rights shall not apply to defaults pursuant to Sections 22.1(c) and 22.1(e)(iii). The Non-Defaulting Party terminating transaction(s) under this Section 22.2 may do so without making a filing at FERC. If the Non-Defaulting Party elects to terminate under this Section, it shall be required to terminate all transactions between the Parties under the Agreement at the same time. Upon termination, the Non-Defaulting Party shall liquidate all transactions as soon as practicable, provided that in no event will the Non-Defaulting Party be allowed to liquidate Service Schedule A transactions. The payment associated with termination ("Termination Payment") shall be calculated in accordance with this UB-250 Section 22.2 and Section 22.3. The Termination Payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Non-Defaulting Party for each terminated transaction ("Terminated Transaction") for the time period beginning at the time notice of termination under this Section 22 is received. Prior to receipt of such notice of termination by the Defaulting Party, the Non- Defaulting Party may exercise any remedies available to it under Section 21.3 of this Agreement or Confirmation(s), and any other remedies available to it at law or otherwise. Upon termination, the Non-Defaulting Party may withhold any payments it owes the Defaulting Party for any obligations incurred prior to termination under this Agreement or Confirmation(s) until the Defaulting Party pays the Termination Payment to the Non-Defaulting Party. The Non-Defaulting Party shall possess the right to set-off the amount due it under this Section 22 by any such payments due the Defaulting Party as provided in Section 22.3(d). 22.3 LIQUIDATION CALCULATION OPTIONS The Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate the Termination Payment as follows: (a) The Gains and Losses shall be determined by comparing the value of the remaining term, transaction quantities, and transaction prices under each Terminated Transaction had it not been terminated to the equivalent quantities and relevant market prices for the remaining term either quoted by a bona fide third-party offer or which are reasonably expected to be available in the market under a replacement contract for each Terminated UB-251 Transaction. To ascertain the market prices of a replacement contract, the Non-Defaulting Party may consider, among other valuations, quotations from Dealers in energy contracts, any or all of the settlement prices of the NYMEX power futures contracts (or NYMEX power options contracts in the case of Physically-Settled Options) and other bona fide third party offers, all adjusted for the length of the remaining term and differences in transmission. It is expressly agreed that the Non-Defaulting Party shall not be required to enter into replacement transactions in order to determine the Termination Payment. (b) The Gains and Losses calculated under paragraph (a) shall be discounted to present value using the Present Value Rate as of the time of termination (to take account to the period between the time notice of termination was effective and when such amount would have otherwise been due pursuant to the relevant transaction). The "Present Value Rate" shall mean the sum of 0.50% plus the yield reported on page "USD" of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Services Screen (or, if not available, any other nationally recognized trading screen reporting on-line intraday trading in United States government securities) at 11:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) for the United States government securities having a maturity that matches the average remaining term of the Terminated Transactions; and (c) The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off or aggregate, as appropriate, the Gains and Losses (as calculated in Section 22.3(a)) and Costs and notify UB-252 the Defaulting Party. If the Non-Defaulting Party's aggregate Losses and Costs exceed its aggregate Gains, the Defaulting Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice, pay the Termination Payment to the Non-Defaulting Party, which amount shall bear interest at the Present Value rate from the time notice of termination was received until paid. If the Non-Defaulting Party's aggregate Gains exceed its aggregate Losses and Costs, the Non-Defaulting Party, after any set-off as provided in paragraph (d), shall pay the remaining amount to the Defaulting Party within three (3) Business Days of the date notice of termination was received including interest at the Present Value from the time notice of termination was received until the Defaulting Party receives payment. (d) The Non-Defaulting Party shall aggregate or set off, as appropriate, at its election, any or all other amounts owing between the Parties (discounted at the Present Value Rate) under this Agreement and any Confirmation against the Termination Payment so that all such amounts are aggregated and/or netted to a single liquidated amount. The net amount due from any such liquidation shall be paid within three (3) Business Days following the date notice of termination is received. (e) (i) If the Non-Defaulting Party owes the Defaulting Party monies under this Section 22.3, then notwithstanding the three Business Day payment requirement detailed above, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect to pay the Defaulting Party the monies owed under this Section 22.3 over the remaining life of the contract(s) being UB-253 terminated. The Non-Defaulting Party may make this election by providing written notice to the Defaulting Party within three Business Days of the notice being provided to terminate and liquidate under this Section 22.3. The Non-Defaulting Party shall provide the Defaulting Party with the details on the method for recovering the monies owed over the remaining life of the contract(s). That method shall ensure that the Defaulting Party receives a payment each month through the end of the term of each contract which allows it to receive the monies which would have been due it under Sections 22.3(c) and (d) in total (to be recovered over the term of the contract(s) to replicate as closely as possible the payment streams under such contract(s)) provided that the discounting using the Present Value Rate referenced in Section 22.3 (b) shall not be reflected in determining the amounts to be recovered under this provision. Any disputes as to the methodology shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures in Section 34, with binding arbitration pursuant to Section 34.2 required for disputes as to the methodology if mediation is unsuccessful. (ii) This Section 22.3(e) and the rights and obligations under it shall survive termination of any applicable transactions or agreements. (iii) The Party owed monies under this Section 22.3(e) shall have the right to request credit assurances consistent with Section 27 even UB-254 after termination of any contract or transaction. (iv) If the Party owing money defaults on its payment obligations consistent with Section 22.1(a) or defaults with regard to providing credit assurances consistent with Section 22.1(d), then the other Party shall have the right (by written notice) at any time after the Party owing money defaults to require that Party to pay all monies owed under all of the contracts subject to this Section 22.3(e) within three Business Days of receipt of the written notice. The monies to be paid under this accelerated payment provision shall be the remaining amounts to be paid under the contract(s) reflecting a discount using the Present Value Rate from the date of the written notice. (f) If the Defaulting Party disagrees with the calculation of the Termination Payment and the Parties cannot otherwise resolve their differences, the calculation issue shall be submitted to informal dispute resolution as provided in Section 34.1 of this Agreement and thereafter binding dispute resolution pursuant to Section 34.2 if the informal dispute resolution does not succeed in resolving the dispute. Pending resolution of the dispute, the Defaulting Party shall pay the full amount of the Termination Payment calculated by the Non-Defaulting Party within three (3) Business Days (except if the option under 22.3(e) has been invoked in which case the payment times in that provision would apply) of receipt of notice as set forth in Sections 22.3(c) and (d) subject to the Non-Defaulting Party UB-255 refunding, with interest, pursuant to Section 9.4, any amounts determined to have been overpaid. (g) For purposes of this Section 22.3: (i) "Gains" means the economic benefit (exclusive of Costs), if any, resulting from the termination of the Terminated Transactions, determined in a commercially reasonable manner as calculated in accordance with this Section 22.3; (ii) "Losses" means the economic loss (exclusive of Costs), if any, resulting from the termination of the Terminated Transactions, determined in a commercially reasonable manner as calculated in accordance with this Section 22.3; (iii) "Costs" means brokerage fees, commissions and other similar transaction costs and expenses reasonably incurred in terminating any specifically related arrangements which replace a Terminated Transaction, transmission and ancillary service costs associated with Terminated Transactions, and reasonable attorneys' fees, if any, incurred in connection with the Non-Defaulting Party enforcing its rights with regard to the Terminated Transactions. The Non-Defaulting Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate or eliminate these Costs. (iv) In no event, however, shall a Party's Gains, Losses or Costs include any penalties or similar charges imposed by the Non- Defaulting Party. UB-256 22A. DEFAULT IN PAYMENT OF WSPP OPERATING COSTS: 22A.1 A Party shall be deemed to be in default in payment of its share of WSPP operating costs pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, if any, when payment is not received within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice. A default by any Party in such payment obligations shall be cured by payment of all overdue amounts together with interest accrued at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, if any, whichever is less, prorated by days from the due date to the date the payment curing the default is made unless and until the Executive Committee shall determine another rate. 22A.2 A defaulting Party, which is in default under Section 22.A1, shall be liable for all costs, including costs of collection and reasonable attorney fees, plus interest as provided in Section 22.A1 hereof. 22A.3 The rights under this Agreement of a Party which is in default of its obligation to pay operating costs under this Agreement for a period of three (3) months or more may be revoked by a vote of the non-defaulting Parties' representatives on the Executive Committee consistent with Section 8.3. The defaulting Party's rights shall not be revoked, however, unless said Party has received at least thirty (30) days written notice of the non-defaulting Parties' intent to revoke such rights. Said notice shall state the date on which the revocation of rights shall become effective if the default is not cured and shall state all actions which must be taken or amounts which must be paid to cure the default. This provision allowing the non-defaulting Parties to revoke such rights is in addition to any other remedies provided in this Agreement or at law and shall in no way limit the non-defaulting UB-257 Parties' ability to seek judicial enforcement of the defaulting Party's obligations to pay its share of the operating costs under this Agreement. Upon the effective date of such revocation of rights, the defaulting party shall not be allowed to enter into any new transactions under this Agreement. The defaulting party under the Agreement and Confirmation(s) shall be required to carry out all obligations that existed prior to the effective date of such revocation. If a defaulting Party's rights under this Agreement have been revoked, the Executive Committee may restore that Party's rights upon the defaulting Party paying all amounts due and owing under this Agreement. 22A.4 Upon revocation of the rights of a defaulting Party under this Agreement, costs of the WSPP hereunder shall be equally shared among the remaining Parties. Cost allocation adjustments shall be retroactive to the date of the default. UB-258 23. OTHER AGREEMENTS: No provision of this Agreement shall preclude any Party from entering into other agreements or conducting transactions under existing agreements with other Parties or third parties. This Agreement shall not be deemed to modify or change any rights or obligations under any prior contracts or agreements between or among any of the Parties. UB-259 24. GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement and any Confirmation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules thereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, (1) if both the Seller and Purchaser are organized under the laws of Canada, then the laws of the province of the Seller shall govern, or (2) if the Seller or Purchaser is an agency of or part of the United States Government, then the laws of the United States of America shall govern. UB-260 25. JUDGMENTS AND DETERMINATIONS: Whenever it is provided in this Agreement that a Party shall be the sole judge of whether, to what extent, or under what conditions it will provide a given service, its exercise of its judgment shall be final and not subject to challenge. Whenever it is provided that (i) a service under a given transaction may be curtailed under certain conditions or circumstances, the existence of which are determined by or in the judgment of a Party, or (ii) the existence of qualifications for membership shall be determined by the Executive Committee pursuant to Section 16, that Party's or the Executive Committee's determination or exercise of judgment shall be final and not subject to challenge if it is made in good faith and not made arbitrarily or capriciously. UB-261 26. COMPLETE AGREEMENT: This Agreement and the Confirmation(s), shall constitute the full and complete agreement of the Parties with respect to a transaction, except as provided under Section 32.4. UB-262 27. CREDITWORTHINESS: Should a Party's creditworthiness, financial responsibility, or performance viability become unsatisfactory to the other Party in such other Party's reasonably exercised discretion with regard to any transaction pursuant to this Agreement and any Confirmation, the dissatisfied Party (the "First Party") may require the other Party (the "Second Party") to provide, at the Second Party's option (but subject to the First Party's acceptance based upon reasonably exercised discretion), either (1) the posting of a Letter of Credit, (2) a cash prepayment, (3) the posting of other acceptable collateral or security by the Second Party, (4) a Guarantee Agreement executed by a creditworthy entity; or (5) some other mutually agreeable method of satisfying the First Party. The Second Party’s obligations under this Section 27 shall be limited to a reasonable estimate of the damages to the First Party (consistent with Section 22.3 of this Agreement) if the Second Party were to fail to perform its obligations. Events which may trigger the First Party questioning the Second Party's creditworthiness, financial responsibility, or performance viability include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) The First Party has knowledge that the Second Party (or its Guarantor if applicable) are failing to perform or defaulting under other contracts. (2) The Second Party has exceeded any credit or trading limit set out in any Confirmation or other agreement between the Parties. (3) The Second Party or its Guarantor has debt which is rated as investment grade and that debt falls below the investment grade rating by at least one rating agency or is below investment grade and the rating of that debt is downgraded further by at least one rating agency. UB-263 (4) Other material adverse changes in the Second Party's financial condition occur. (5) Substantial changes in market prices which materially and adversely impact the Second Party's ability to perform under this Agreement or any Confirmation occur. If the Second Party fails to provide such reasonably satisfactory assurances of its ability to perform a transaction hereunder within three (3) Business Days of demand therefore, that will be considered an Event of Default under Section 22 of this Agreement and the First Party shall have the right to exercise any of the remedies provided for under that Section 22. Nothing contained in this Section 27 shall affect any credit agreement or arrangement, if any, between the Parties. UB-264 28. NETTING: 28.1 Parties shall net payments (associated with transactions under this Agreement and Confirmation(s)) in accordance with Exhibit A, if such Parties have executed the form attached as Exhibit A. The Parties’ obligations to net shall include the netting of all payments received by the Parties in the same calendar month. Parties that have executed Exhibit A shall provide a signed copy of Exhibit A to a representative of the WSPP and to any Party that requests a copy and indicate on the WSPP Homepage that they have executed Exhibit A. If a Party indicated its election to net payments on the WSPP Homepage and that Party desires to withdraw its agreement to net, that Party shall provide at least 30 days notice on the WSPP Homepage of the change in its election to net and also shall provide, concurrent with its withdrawal notice, written notice to all Parties with which it has ongoing transactions or with which it has committed to future transactions under the Agreement at the time of the notice. Any such changes in netting status shall apply beginning at least 30 days after notice required by this Section 28.2 is provided and only shall apply to transactions agreed to beginning on or after the date the change in netting status becomes effective. 28.2 The Parties may by separate agreement either through a Confirmation or some other agreement set out specific terms relating to the implementation of the netting in addition to or in lieu of Exhibit A. 28.3 Each Party reserves to itself all rights, set offs, counterclaims, and other remedies and defenses (to the extent not expressly herein waived or denied) which such UB-265 Party has or may be entitled to arising from or out of this Agreement and any applicable Confirmation. UB-266 29. TAXES: The Contract Price for all transactions under this Agreement shall include full reimbursement for, and the Seller is liable for and shall pay, or cause to be paid, or reimburse the Purchaser for if the Purchaser has paid, all taxes applicable to a transaction that arise prior to the delivery point. If the Purchaser is required to remit such tax, the amount shall be deducted from any sums due to the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Purchaser from any claims for such taxes. The Contract Price does not include reimbursement for, and the Purchaser is liable for and shall pay, cause to be paid, or reimburse the Seller for if the Seller has paid, all taxes applicable to a transaction arising at and from the delivery point, including any taxes imposed or collected by a taxing authority with jurisdiction over the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Seller from any claims for such taxes. Either Party, upon written request of the other Party, shall provide a certificate of exemption or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of exemption if either Party is exempt from taxes, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and cooperate with the other Party in obtaining any exemption from or reduction of any tax. Taxes are any amounts imposed by a taxing authority associated with the transaction. UB-267 30. CONFIDENTIALITY: 30.1 The terms of any transaction under this Agreement or any other information exchanged by the Purchaser and Seller relating to the transaction shall not be disclosed to any person not employed or retained by the Purchaser or the Seller or their affiliates, except to the extent disclosure is (1) required by law, (2) reasonably deemed by the disclosing Party to be required to be disclosed in connection with a dispute between or among the Parties, or the defense of any litigation or dispute, (3) otherwise permitted by consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (4) required to be made in connection with regulatory proceedings (including proceedings relating to FERC, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or provincial regulatory agency); (5) required to comply with North American Electric Reliability Organization, regional reliability council, or successor organization requirements; (6) necessary to obtain transmission service; or (7) to a developer of an index of electric power prices in accordance with Section 30.2. In the event disclosure is made pursuant to this provision, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the scope of any disclosure and have the recipients maintain the confidentiality of any documents or confidential information covered by this provision, including, if appropriate, seeking a protective order or similar mechanism in connection with any disclosure. This provision shall not apply to any information that was or is hereafter in the public domain (except as a result of a breach of this provision). UB-268 30.2 A Party may disclose the terms of transactions under this Agreement, excluding the identities of parties, to any developer of any index of electric power prices without violation of the confidentiality obligations under Section 30.1 if: (1) the disclosing Party and the index developer have entered into a written agreement, prior to the disclosure, under which the developer has agreed to use the information solely for the development of an index of electric power prices for publication and not for any other purpose; and (2) the index with respect to which disclosure is made is an aggregation of terms of transactions and does not identify terms of single transactions or the identities of parties to transactions. UB-269 31. TRANSMISSION TARIFF: Pursuant to FERC Order No. 888, issued on April 24, 1996, and FERC orders where applicable, the WSPP Default Transmission Tariff has been filed and has become effective. The Parties agree to be bound by the terms of that Tariff for so long as they are WSPP members. UB-270 32. TRANSACTION SPECIFIC TERMS AND ORAL AGREEMENTS: 32.1 General 32.1.1 A Confirmation shall include, at a minimum, the Standard Confirmation Provisions. (See Exhibit C for a sample). Subject to the limitations in Section 32.2 (Standard Confirmation Provisions) and Section 32.3 (Non- Standard Confirmation Provisions), the Confirmation shall be made in writing by a Documentary Writing or an Electronic Writing, or shall be an Electronic Platform Confirmation. 32.1.2 Pursuant to the provisions of this Section 32, the Parties to a transaction under this Agreement may agree to modify any term of this Agreement (other than provisions regarding the operation of the WSPP as an organization including Sections 7 and 8) which applies to such transaction, such agreement to be stated in a Confirmation or Confirmations. 32.1.3 Sections 32.2 and 32.3 shall not apply to an Electronic Platform Confirmation. Parties may amend an Electronic Platform Confirmation in accordance with the procedures, if any, of the applicable platform or exchange or in any other manner this Agreement permits. Each Electronic Platform Confirmation between WSPP members shall be subject to this Agreement, unless the transaction specified in the Electronic Platform Confirmation is subject to another agreement between the Parties other than a master Confirmation applicable to the Parties’ WSPP Confirmations. 32.2 Process For Confirming Standard Confirmation Provisions. UB-271 32.2.1 Confirmation of Standard Confirmation Provisions For Transactions of Less Than One Week in Duration. Confirmation for Standard Confirmation Provisions applicable to transactions of less than one week in duration may be through: (i) a Documentary Writing (including a Confirmation which is not executed by both Parties but which is binding under Section 32.2.3) or (ii) an Electronic Writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, with respect to a transaction of less than one week in duration as agreed in an Electronic Writing and that is to commence within one week of that agreement, a subsequent proposed confirming Documentary Writing under Section 32.2.3 shall not vary the terms of the Electronic Writing unless the Documentary Writing is executed by both Parties. 32.2.2 Standard Confirmation Provisions For Transactions of One Week or More in Duration. Written confirmation shall be required for all Standard Confirmation Provisions for transactions of one week or more in duration. Such written confirmation may be made by a Documentary Writing executed by both Parties or a Documentary Writing not executed by both Parties but which is binding under Section 32.2.3. 32.2.3 Written Confirmation Process for Standard Confirmation Provisions. UB-272 The Seller shall provide a proposed Documentary Writing containing the proposed Standard Confirmation Provisions which must be received by the Purchaser within five Business Days of the date of the agreement to the transaction. The Purchaser shall have five Business Days from date of receipt to accept or propose modifications to the proposed Documentary Writing. If the Purchaser does not respond within that time period, the Seller’s proposed Documentary Writing shall be considered as accepted and shall be the final Confirmation. If the Seller fails to provide a proposed Documentary Writing within the five Business Days period, then, within the immediately subsequent five Business Days, the Purchaser may submit a proposed Documentary Writing to the Seller. The Seller shall then have five Business Days from date of receipt to accept or propose modifications to the proposed Documentary Writing. If the Seller does not respond within that time period, the Purchaser’s proposed Documentary Writing shall be considered as accepted and shall be the final Confirmation. 32.3 Process for Confirming Non-Standard Confirmation Provisions. 32.3.1 Non-Standard Confirmation Provisions for Transactions of Less Than One Week in Duration. Confirmation for Non-Standard Confirmation Provisions for a transaction of less than one week in duration only may be through: (i) an Electronic Writing; or (ii) in a Documentary Writing executed by both Parties. UB-273 32.3.2 Non-Standard Confirmation Provisions for Transactions of One Week or More in Duration. Confirmation for Non-Standard Confirmation Provisions for transactions of one week or more only shall be through a Documentary Writing executed by both Parties. 32.3.3 WSPP Agreement is a Default Agreement. If the Parties to a transaction (i) do not reach agreement on any proposed Non-Standard Confirmation Provision and (ii) do not confirm it under Section 32.3.1 or 32.3.2, as applicable, then the term or terms of the Agreement, which the Parties could not reach agreement to modify or change or which are not considered modified pursuant to this Section 32.3, shall apply to the transaction. 32.4 Prior Discussions And Statements 32.4.1 A Confirmation under Section 32.2 and/or 32.3, shall, together with this Agreement, be an integrated contract with respect to the transaction, shall supersede all discussions and negotiations with respect thereto, and are intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement with respect to such terms as are included therein and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement unless there is clear and convincing evidence of a mutual mistake in the Confirmation. 32.4.2 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement (including Sections 32.3.2 and 32.4.1), until the Confirmation has become final in accordance with Sections 32.2 and/or 32.3 for a transaction, any oral agreement or UB-274 electronic communication establishing agreement of the Parties relating to such transaction shall remain valid and binding. 32.5 The Parties agree not to contest, or assert any defense with respect to, the validity or enforceability of any agreement to the terms concerning a specific transaction, on the basis that documentation of such terms fails to comply with the requirements of any statute that agreements be written or signed. Each Party consents to the recording by the other Party, without any further notice, of telephone conversations between representatives of the Parties, which contain agreements to or discussion concerning the terms of a specific transaction. All such recordings may be introduced and admitted into evidence for the purpose of proving agreements to terms, and any objection to such introduction or admission for such purpose is hereby expressly waived. 32.6 In the event of a conflict between a binding and effective Confirmation and this Agreement, the Confirmation shall govern. 32.7 The Seller shall not be required to file any Confirmation with FERC except as provided in the Service Schedules. 32.8 Other Products and Service Levels: The Parties may apply this Agreement and make a Confirmation with respect to a product/service level defined under any other document or form of agreement (e.g., the California ISO tariff, the ERCOT agreement or the EEI agreement). The confirmation process set forth in Section 32.3 shall apply to any such Confirmation. Unless the Parties expressly state and agree that all the terms and conditions of such other agreement will apply to any such transaction consistent with Section 32.3, the transaction shall be subject to UB-275 all the terms of this Agreement, except that (1) all service level/product definitions, (2) force majeure/uncontrollable force definitions, and (3) other terms as mutually agreed shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the different agreement or in the applicable Confirmation. 32.9 Reserved. 32.10 The Parties may agree to modify terms of this Agreement for more than one transaction pursuant to a separate written agreement (a “master confirmation agreement”), which agreement shall be considered part of each Confirmation between the Parties and shall apply to all transactions entered into between the two Parties unless the Parties specifically agree to override such changes for a particular transaction consistent with the procedure in Section 32.2 or 32.3, whichever is applicable. UB-276 33. PERFORMANCE, TITLE, AND WARRANTIES FOR TRANSACTIONS UNDER SERVICE SCHEDULES: 33.1 Performance 33.1.1 The Seller shall deliver to the delivery point(s) as agreed to in the applicable Confirmation and sell to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and such Confirmation. 33.1.2 The Purchaser shall receive and purchase the Contract Quantity, as agreed to by the Parties in the applicable Confirmation, at the delivery point(s) and purchase from the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and such Confirmation. 33.2 Title and Risk of Loss Title to and risk of loss of the electric energy shall pass from the Seller to the Purchaser at the delivery point agreed to in the Confirmation; provided, however, with regard to federal agencies or parts of the United States Government, title to and risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser to the extent permitted by and consistent with applicable law. 33.3 Warranties The Seller warrants that it will transfer to the Purchaser good title to the electric energy sold under the Agreement and any Confirmation, free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances arising or attaching prior to the delivery point and that Seller's sale is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. THE SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, UB-277 EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. UB-278 34. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: 34.1 INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION Before binding dispute resolution or any other form of litigation may proceed, any dispute between the Parties to a transaction under this Agreement first shall be referred to nonbinding mediation except for actions taken pursuant to Section 21.2. The Parties shall attempt to agree upon a mediator from a list of ten (10) candidates provided by the Chairman of the WSPP Operating Committee or his or her designee. If the Parties are unable to agree, then the Chairman or the designee shall appoint a mediator for the dispute. Neither the mediator nor the person involved on behalf of the WSPP in developing a list of mediators for the Parties to choose from or in selecting the mediator (if the Parties are unable to do so) shall possess a direct or indirect interest in either Party or the subject matter of the mediation. The WSPP shall establish procedures for the appointment of mediators and the conduct of mediation and those procedures shall apply to the mediation. 34.2 BINDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION The Parties to a dispute may elect binding dispute resolution using the following process unless binding arbitration of certain disputes is required under this Agreement in which event the Parties shall use the process set forth in this Section 34.2 to resolve such disputes, unless the Parties otherwise agree: (a) WSPP Dispute Resolution: A Party to a dispute (if binding dispute resolution is required) or all Parties to a dispute (if agreement of the Parties is required for binding dispute resolution) may initiate binding UB-279 dispute resolution under WSPP procedures by notifying the Chairman of the WSPP Operating Committee or his or her designee. The Chairman or his or her designee shall provide the Parties with a list of ten (10) eligible arbitrators. Within ten (10) days of receiving the list, the Parties shall agree on a single arbitrator from the list to conduct the arbitration, or notify the Chairman of the Operating Committee or the designee of their inability to reach agreement. If notified of the Parties inability to reach agreement, then the Chairman or the designee shall choose the arbitrator from the list within five (5) days. Neither the arbitrator nor the person involved on behalf of the WSPP in developing a list of arbitrators for the Parties to choose from or in selecting the arbitrator (if the Parties are unable to do so) shall possess a direct or indirect interest in either Party or the subject matter of the arbitration. The Procedures to be used for this arbitration shall follow the arbitration procedures which shall be developed and maintained by the WSPP and the procedures will be generally consistent with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association though not involving the Association. If the Parties agree to binding dispute resolution under this Section 34.2, each Party understands that it will not be able to bring a lawsuit concerning any dispute that may arise which is covered by this arbitration provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein is intended to waive any provision of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et. seq., or any right under state UB-280 statute or common law to challenge an arbitration award or to prevent any action to enforce any arbitration award. A Party's liability and damages under any arbitration award resulting from the process set forth in this Section 34.2 shall be limited as provided in this Agreement or in any Confirmation. 34.3 COSTS Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and those of its counsel and representatives. The Parties shall equally divide the costs of the arbitrator or mediator and the hearing. 34.4 CONFIDENTIALITY Any arbitration or mediation under this Section 34 shall be conducted on a confidential basis and not disclosed, including any documents or results which shall be considered confidential, unless the Parties otherwise agree or such disclosure is required by law. UB-281 35. FORWARD CONTRACTS: The Parties acknowledge and agree that all transactions under the Agreement and Confirmation(s) are forward contracts and that the Parties are forward contract merchants, as those terms are used in the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all of their transactions, together with this Agreement and the related Confirmation(s) form a single, integrated agreement, and agreements and transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that the agreements and each transaction form a single agreement between the Parties. UB-282 36. TRADE OPTION EXEMPTION The Parties intend that any Physically Settled Option under this Agreement shall qualify under the trade option exemption, 17 C.F.R. § 32.3. Accordingly, each Party buying or selling a Physically Settled Option agrees and warrants that any such option shall be offered only to a provider, user, or merchant and that the entities entering into the options are doing so solely for purposes related to their business. UB-283 37. ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: Each Party warrants and represents to the other(s) that it possesses the necessary corporate, governmental and legal authority, right and power to enter into and agree to the applicable Confirmation for a transaction or transactions and to perform each and every duty imposed, and that the Parties' agreement to buy and sell power under this Agreement and the Confirmation represents a contract. Each Party also warrants and represents to the other(s) that each of its representatives executing or agreeing through a Confirmation to a transaction under this Agreement is authorized to act on its behalf. Each Party further warrants and represents that entering into this Agreement and any applicable Confirmation does not violate or conflict with its Charter, By-laws or comparable constituent document, any law applicable to it, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any agreement to which it is a party and that this Agreement and applicable Confirmation, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against such Party in accordance with the terms of such agreements. Each Party also represents that it is solvent and that on each delivery this representation shall be deemed renewed unless notice to the contrary is given in writing by the Purchaser to the Seller before delivery. UB-284 38. FLOATING PRICES: 38.1 In the event the Parties intend that the price for a transaction is to be based on an index, exchange or any other kind of variable reference price (such price being a “Floating Price”), the Parties shall specify the “Floating Price” to be used to calculate the amounts in a Confirmation due Seller for that transaction. 38.2 Market Disruption. If a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing during the Determination Period, the Floating Price for the affected Trading Day shall be determined as follows. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a Floating Price (or a method for determining a Floating Price) for the affected Trading Day. If the Parties have not so agreed on or before the twelfth Business Day following the first Trading Day on which the Market Disruption Event occurred or existed, then the Floating Price shall be determined in good faith by the Parties based upon (1) quotes from Dealers in energy contracts; and/or (2) quotes from Brokers in energy contracts. Each Party may obtain up to a maximum of four quotes which must be provided to the other Party no later than twenty-two Business Days following the first Business Day on which the Market Disruption Event occurred or existed. These quotes shall reflect transacted prices. The Floating Price for the affected Trading Day shall equal a simple average of the quotes obtained and provided by the Parties consistent with the provisions of this Section 38. Each Party providing quote(s) to the other Party also shall identify to that other Party the Dealer(s) and/or the Broker(s) who provided each of the quotes to allow verification. UB-285 “Determination Period” means each calendar month during the term of the relevant transaction; provided that if the term of the transaction is less than one calendar month the Determination Period shall be the term of the transaction. “Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to an index, any of the following events (the existence of which shall be determined in good faith by the Parties): (a) the failure of the index to announce or publish information necessary for determining the Floating Price; (b) the failure of trading to commence or the permanent discontinuation or material suspension of trading in the relevant options contract or commodity on the exchange or market acting as the index; (c) the temporary or permanent discontinuance or unavailability of the index; (d) the temporary or permanent closing of any exchange acting as the index; or (e) a material change in the formula for or the method of determining the Floating Price. “Trading Day” means a day in respect of which the relevant price source published the relevant price or would have published the relevant price but for the Market Disruption Event. 38.3 Calculation of Floating Price. For the purposes of the calculation of a Floating Price, all numbers shall be rounded to three (3) decimal places. If the fourth (4th) decimal number is five (5) or greater, then the third (3rd) decimal number shall be increased by one (1), and if the fourth (4th) decimal number is less than five (5), then the third (3rd) decimal number shall remain unchanged. 38.4 Corrections. For the purposes of determining the relevant prices for any day, if the price published or announced on a given day and used or to be used to UB-286 determine the relevant price is subsequently corrected and the correction is published or announced by the person responsible for that publication or announcement, either Party may notify the other Party of (i) that correction and (ii) the amount (if any) that is payable as a result of that correction. If a Party gives notice that an amount is so payable, the Party that originally either received or retained such amount will pay such amount consistent with the provisions of this Section 38.4. The amount that is payable as a result of the correction shall be included in the billing cycle in which the notice of the correction is provided. UB-287 39. AMENDMENT: 39.1 This Agreement may be amended upon the submission to FERC and acceptance by FERC of that amendment. The effective date of the amendment shall be the date on which FERC allows the amendment to become effective; provided, however, if the FERC orders a hearing on a filing under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act proposing an amendment to this Agreement, the amendment as it may be revised by the FERC shall not become effective until the FERC issues its final order (i.e. its order on rehearing before any judicial review) on the amendment. The Parties through the Executive Committee shall direct the filing of any amendments. The Parties to this Agreement agree to bound by this Agreement as it may be amended, provided that the Parties possess the right to challenge any amendments at FERC and to exercise any applicable withdrawal rights under this Agreement. 39.2 Unless otherwise stated in the amendment, all amendments shall apply only to new transactions entered into or agreed to on or after the effective date of the amendment. Preexisting agreements and transactions shall operate under the version of the WSPP Agreement effective at the time of the agreement for the transaction unless the Parties to a transaction or transactions mutually agree otherwise. 39.3 An agreement modifying this Agreement or a Confirmation for a transaction needs no consideration to be binding. UB-288 40. EXECUTION BY COUNTERPARTS: This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and upon execution by all Parties, each executed counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original instrument and as if all Parties had signed the same instrument.

A-3 TERMS: A-3.1 A Party may schedule Economy Energy Service from another Party by mutual agreement; provided, however, that each Party shall be the sole judge as to the extent to and the conditions under which it is willing to provide or receive such service hereunder consistent with statutory requirements and contractual commitments including the Agreement and any applicable Confirmation. A-3.2 Scheduling of Economy Energy Service hereunder shall be a responsibility of the Parties involved. A-3.3 Each Seller/Purchaser may prepare a daily estimate of the amount of Economy Energy Service that it is willing and able to sell/buy each hour and the associated hourly sale/purchase price for the next Business Day, plus the weekend and holidays, and communicate this information to all other Parties via the Hub. A-3.4 Purchasers shall arrange purchases directly with Sellers, and shall be responsible for transmission arrangements. A-3.5 Unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller, all Economy Energy Service transactions shall be pre-scheduled, and billings shall be UB-307 based on amounts and prices agreed to in advance by schedulers, subject to Paragraphs A-3.6 and 3.7 and subject to change by mutual agreement between dispatchers or schedulers due to system changes.

A Party is a FERC regulated public utility if it is a "public utility" as defined in Section 201(e) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 824(e). A-3.7 Except as provided for in Section A-3.6, the price shall not exceed the Seller's forecasted Incremental Cost plus up to: $7.32/kW/ month; $1.68/kW/week; 33.78¢/kW/day; 14.07 mills/kWh; or 21.11 mills/kWh for service of sixteen (16) hours or less per day.

The foregoing hourly rate caps (i) are subject to the submission of cost justification by the applicable Seller to the FERC, and acceptance by FERC thereof, under Western Systems Power Pool, 122 FERC ¶ 61,139 (2008), or (ii) are inapplicable, in the event that the Seller has filed with FERC, and FERC has accepted, a rate schedule applicable solely to such Seller, which rate schedule has been, upon the request of the applicable Seller, incorporated into this Agreement at Schedule “Q” hereof (such incorporation to occur upon Seller’s request without approval of the WSPP Executive UB-325 Committee). D-4 NON-PERFORMANCE, DAMAGES AND TERMINATION D-4.1 Seller Non-Performance. “Non-Performance” with respect to Seller means Seller’s failure to provide capacity or deliver energy to the Designated Authority as this Service Schedule and the Confirmation require. D-4.1.1 Purchaser Entitlement to Damages. In the event of Non-Performance by Seller, Seller shall pay damages to Purchaser calculated in accordance with Section 21.3 of the Agreement. D-4.1.2 Purchaser Option to Terminate. Purchaser shall have an option to declare any instance of Seller’s Non-Performance under Section D-4.2 an Event of Default under the Agreement and the remedies for an Event of Default under Section 22.2(b) of the Agreement shall apply (excluding Section 22.2(a)), provided, that the right to terminate transactions for such Non-Performance shall be limited to transactions under this Service Schedule D. Exercise of the termination option under this Section D-4.1.2 shall not diminish the performing Party’s rights to collect damages for such Non-Performance under Section D-4.1.1, or to avail itself of remedies for other Events of Default. D-4.2 Purchaser Non-Performance. “Non-Performance” with respect to the Purchaser means the Designated Authority’s failure to receive capacity and/or energy, or the Designated Authority’s use of capacity and/or energy under this Service Schedule which use does not conform to Section D-3.4.2 (such capacity and/or energy, the “unauthorized energy”). D-4.2.1 Seller Entitlement to Damages. In the event of Non-Performance by Purchaser, Purchaser shall compensate Seller in an amount equal to the quantity of UB-326 unauthorized energy Seller was required to deliver during each hour, multiplied by the energy charge for the applicable hour. D-4.2.2 Seller Option to Terminate. Seller shall have an option to declare any instance of Purchaser’s Non-Performance under Section D-4.2 an Event of Default under the Agreement and the remedies for an Event of Default under Section 22.2(b) of the Agreement shall apply (but not Section 22.2(a)), provided that the right to terminate all transactions for such Non-Performance shall be limited to transactions under this Service Schedule D. Exercise of the termination option under this Section D-4.2.2 shall not diminish the performing Party’s rights to collect damages for such Non-Performance under Section D-4.2.1, or to avail itself of remedies for other Events of Default under the Agreement. D-4.3 Termination under Section D-4.1.2 or D-4.4.2 shall become effective immediately upon receipt by the non-performing Party of the Performing Party’s written notice thereof, which notice shall specify the Non-Performance. If the Performing Party fails to exercise its termination option arising from an instance of Non-Performance under Section D- 4.1.2 or D-4.2.2 within thirty (30) days following the date the option to terminate arose, then solely with respect to that instance of Non-Performance, the termination option shall cease to be available to the Performing Party. D-4.4 Nothing in this Service Schedule shall restrict the right of either Party to avail itself of other remedies provided in the Agreement.

Seller shall notify Purchaser of volumes to be delivered no later than thirty (30) minutes before the hour in which delivery is to occur unless otherwise agreed or such notification is infeasible due to unforeseen system operating conditions. R-2.4 Environmental Attributes Contained In The REC. The Confirmation may describe the Environmental Attributes covered by the REC as All Attributes, Program Attributes, or as the Parties otherwise may agree. If the Confirmation does not designate a REC Transaction as Program Attributes or otherwise limit the Environmental Attributes conveyed, and if a Renewable Energy Facility or Renewable Energy Source is specified, the REC Transaction shall be All Attributes. A designation of All Attributes will not be effective unless a Renewable Energy Facility or Renewable Energy Source is designated in the Confirmation. R-2.4.1 All Attributes. An “All Attributes” REC conveys all of the Environmental Attributes the Renewable Energy Facility or Renewable Energy Source designated in the Confirmation is capable of producing, whether known or unknown on the Effective Date, including, at a minimum, all Environmental Attributes required by any Applicable Program designated in the Confirmation. Seller disclaims any warranty that Environmental Attributes other than those required by an Applicable Program designated in the Confirmation fulfill the requirements of any other Applicable Program. To establish the UB-344 Environmental Attributes conveyed, the Confirmation may include a specification thereof. R-2.4.2 Program Attributes. A “Program Attributes” REC conveys the Environmental Attributes required by an Applicable Program designated in the Confirmation. It conveys no other Environmental Attributes, the rights to which are retained by the Seller. The Parties should verify that a designated Tracking System will recognize a Program Attributes REC. (Note, WREGIS does not recognize a Program Attributes limitation upon conveyed Environmental Attributes.) R-3 Delivery and Title. R-3.1 Unbundled REC Transactions. This Section R-3.1 applies if the REC Product is a Firm REC, Resource Contingent REC, or Facility As-Run REC. R-3.1.1 Delivery. “Deliver(y)(ed)” occurs upon completion of Seller’s transfer of the Contract Quantity to Purchaser. If a Tracking System is designated in the Confirmation, Seller shall cause transfer in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Tracking System. If the Tracking System does not state such rules or procedures, then Delivery shall occur upon the Tracking System’s transfer of the REC into Purchaser’s account. If a Tracking System is not designated in the Confirmation, Delivery is completed upon Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of an Attestation. R-3.1.2 Acceptance. “Accept(ance)(ed)” means Purchaser’s receipt of Delivery of the REC from Seller, without Purchaser’s rejection. If a UB-345 Tracking System is designated in the Confirmation, Purchaser shall receive a transfer in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Tracking System, and Acceptance (or rejection) shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the date the Tracking System gives electronic notice to Purchaser that it has initiated transfer (this deadline applies regardless of any different period stated in the Tracking System’s rules and procedures) and if timely rejection is not made, then the Delivery is Accepted. If a Tracking System is not designated in the Confirmation, Acceptance occurs upon Purchaser’s Acceptance, without rejection within five (5) Business Days of delivery, of the Attestation delivered by Seller. R-3.1.3 Passage of Title. Title to the REC shall pass from Seller to Purchaser upon Delivery and Acceptance. R-3.2 Bundled REC Transactions. This Section R-3.2 applies if the REC Product is a Firm Bundled REC, Resource Contingent Bundled REC, or Facility As-Run Bundled REC. R-3.2.1 Delivery. “Delivery(y)(ed)” occurs upon completion of Seller’s transfer to Purchaser of the Contract Quantity of the REC and the Contract Quantity of the Energy. Delivery of the REC shall be completed in accordance with Section R-3.1.1. Delivery of Energy shall be completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Confirmation and the Agreement. UB-346 R-3.2.2 Acceptance. “Acceptance” of the REC occurs in the manner specified in Section R-3.1.2, and of the Energy upon receipt at the delivery point in accordance with the Confirmation. R-3.2.3 Passage of Title. If the Vintage of the REC is prior to the Effective Date, title to the REC passes from Seller to Purchaser on the Effective Date or other date to which the Parties agree. If the REC is to be generated on or after the Effective Date, title to the REC passes upon the generation of each megawatt hour of energy required for production of the REC, and Seller shall hold the REC in trust for Purchaser until Delivery. Passage of title to Energy occurs pursuant to the Agreement. R-3.3 Actions Required of Parties to Assure Delivery. R-3.3.1 Provision of Generation Information; Required Actions. No less than monthly, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a written statement setting forth for applicable periods the quantities of Seller’s generation of energy for production of the REC. Seller shall promptly take all actions and do all things necessary and appropriate to cause the designated Tracking System, if any, to transfer the REC to Purchaser, including promptly providing all required information and documents in the required forms, and paying any and all fees the Tracking System imposes on Seller. If the Confirmation provides for a designated Tracking System to expedite issuance of certificates (for example, forward transfer certificates in WREGIS), Seller shall promptly take all actions required to cause such expedition. If no Tracking System is UB-347 designated in the Confirmation, then upon creation of the REC Seller shall promptly deliver the Attestation to Purchaser. R-3.3.2 Failure to Issue REC. Seller is responsible for transfer and issuance of RECs by the Tracking System; Purchaser’s sole responsibilities are maintenance of an account with the Tracking System and Acceptance of conforming RECs pursuant to Section R-3.1.2. Without prejudice to the immediately preceding sentence, in the event a Tracking System designated in the Confirmation declines to issue an electronic credit or physical certificate to document the attempted transfer, Delivery, or Acceptance of a REC, each Party will provide the other Party with all documents, communications, and information sent to or received from the Tracking System that pertain thereto. The Parties will cooperate, and each Party will complete any uncompleted items for which it is responsible, each at its own expense. If following such efforts, and due to no failure of Seller to take all required actions, the Tracking System does not issue the electronic credit or physical certificate to document the attempted transfer, Delivery, or Acceptance of the REC, Seller may, upon Purchaser’s agreement (which Purchaser may decline in its discretion), provide an Attestation to Purchaser to effect Delivery. The obligations under this Section R-3.3.2 shall not be construed to diminish the Seller or the Purchaser’s respective rights and obligations under the Agreement, Service Schedule R, and the Confirmation. UB-348 R-3.4 Conveyance and Transfer. As of both Delivery and passage of title, Seller shall transfer and convey to Purchaser all right, title, and interest in and to the REC and all Environmental Attributes underlying the REC pursuant to the Confirmation, and the exclusive right to any and all Reporting Rights Seller may have in or to the REC and the Environmental Attributes, free and clear of any liens, security interests, or other encumbrances. R-4 Charges; Credit. The charge shall be an amount equal to the Contract Price multiplied by the Delivered and Accepted quantity, without prejudice to the right to recover damages owed in accordance with Section R-9. The Parties may state any credit terms and conditions to which they agree in the Confirmation; Section 27 of the Agreement applies unless otherwise agreed. R-5 Governing Law; Change in Law. R-5.1 Governing Law. Section 24 of the Agreement applies except as follows. If an Applicable Program is designated in the Confirmation, all performance obligations pursuant to the REC Transaction concerning the creation, issuance, transfer, tracking and retirement of the REC shall be governed as follows: R-5.1.1 If the Applicable Program was created by the laws of a Governmental Authority, then by the laws, rules, regulations, orders, and judicial precedent of such Governmental Authority; R-5.1.2 If the Applicable Program was not created by the laws of a Governmental Authority, but is a voluntary program, then Section 24 of the Agreement applies without modification, and the Parties shall be bound contractually to comply with the standards and criteria of the voluntary Applicable Program. UB-349 R-5.2 Change in Law. R-5.2.1 Applicability. Section R-5.2 applies only to REC Transactions for which an Applicable Program is designated in the Confirmation. In a REC Transaction for which no Applicable Program is designated, Seller makes no representation or warranty concerning compliance with any particular Applicable Program and any such representation or warranty is expressly disclaimed. R-5.2.2 Definitions. (a) “Change in Law” means any addition or amendment, by a Governmental Authority, to any laws, rules, regulations, orders, or judicial precedent, that applies to an Applicable Program designated in the Confirmation, that is enacted or issued after the Effective Date and nullifies compliance of the REC with the Applicable Program. An addition or amendment that is enacted or issued before the Effective Date but effective on or after the Effective Date is not a Change in Law. (b) “Regulatorily Continuing” means a REC Transaction in which the REC and Environmental Attributes conform to the requirements of an Applicable Program designated in the Confirmation as such requirements exist on the Effective Date and the Transfer Date, including requirements modified or added by a Change in Law. (c) “Not Regulatorily Continuing” means a REC Transaction in which the REC and Environmental Attributes conform to the UB-350 requirements of an Applicable Program designated in the Confirmation as such requirements exist on the Effective Date only, and the REC and Environmental Attributes are not required to conform to requirements modified or added by a Change in Law. R-5.2.3 Default Designation as Regulatorily Continuing. A REC Transaction as to which an Applicable Program is designated in the Confirmation shall be Regulatorily Continuing unless the Parties specify in the Confirmation that the REC Transaction is Not Regulatorily Continuing. R-5.2.4 Effect of Change In Law in Regulatorily Continuing REC Transaction. (a) If a Change in Law occurs in a Regulatorily Continuing REC Transaction, Seller shall be obligated to make reasonable efforts to attain compliance with the designated Applicable Program, the costs of which shall not be required to exceed any cost cap specified in the Confirmation. If despite such efforts to attain compliance, including reasonable expenditures, Seller cannot obtain compliance and Purchaser refuses to accept Delivery of the REC due to the Change in Law, Seller shall not be liable for damages under Section R-9. (b) In the event Purchaser refuses to accept Delivery of the REC under Section 5.2.4(a), and Seller has Delivered energy to Purchaser in the REC Transaction, Purchaser shall not be UB-351 relieved of its obligation to pay for such energy, which payment shall be either at the price allocated to energy in the Confirmation, if any, and if no allocation is made, then at an amount equal to the Replacement Price. R-5.2.5 Amendment to Address Change In Law. Nothing in this Section R- 5.2 shall be construed to preclude the Parties from agreeing to amend the Confirmation to permit a Seller to perform its obligations in a REC Transaction as to which a Change in Law has occurred. R-6 Seller Representations and Warranties. In each REC Transaction, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser the following: R-6.1 As of both Delivery and passage of title, Seller has and conveys to Purchaser all right, title, interest in and to the REC and all Environmental Attributes underlying the REC as required by the Confirmation, and the exclusive right to any and all Reporting Rights Seller may have in or to the REC and Environmental Attributes, free and clear of any liens, security interests, or other encumbrances. R-6.2 As of both Delivery and passage of title, the REC and Environmental Attributes conform to the requirements of the REC Transaction. R-6.3 If the REC Transaction is Regulatorily Continuing (and an Applicable Program is designated in the Confirmation), subject to any limits upon Seller’s obligations under Section R-5.2.4, as of both Delivery and passage of title, that the REC and Environmental Attributes conform to the requirements of the designated Applicable Program as such requirements exist on the Effective Date and the Transfer Date. UB-352 R-6.4 If the REC Transaction is Not Regulatorily Continuing (and an Applicable Program is designated in the Confirmation), as of both Delivery and passage of title, that the REC and Environmental Attributes conform to the requirements of the designated Applicable Program as such requirements exist on the Effective Date. R-6.5 With respect to deliveries of Energy in REC Transactions for Firm Bundled REC, Contingent Resource Bundled REC, and Facility As-Run Bundled REC, that Seller has complied with the representations and warranties stated in Section 33 of the Agreement. SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. R-7 Records; Confidentiality R-7.1 Correction of Records. If any statement, charge or computation concerning a REC Transaction is inaccurate, the Parties promptly shall make any adjustments to records as reasonably necessary to correct such inaccuracy, and make any adjustment of payments required to correspond to the corrected records, provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to pay a higher Contract Price or accept a lower Contract Quantity than the Confirmation requires. R-7.2 Exception to Confidentiality. Purchaser has the right to disclose to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser, or to any voluntary Applicable Program and the person or entity specified by the rules of procedures of the voluntary Applicable Program to perform certification, any information necessary to demonstrate Purchaser’s compliance with an Applicable Program UB-353 (whether or not designated in the Confirmation); provided, however, that Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the scope of any such disclosure and shall require, as may be feasible, that the recipient maintain the confidentiality of any documents or confidential information governed by the provisions of Section 30.1 of the Agreement, including, if permitted under applicable procedures of the Governmental Authority or such administrator, and subject to any applicable public records laws, seeking a protective order or similar protective mechanism in connection with any disclosure.

Note: The total amount of Power available for cost-based sales by Public Service based on the costs of Comanche 3 under the WSPP Agreement and under other Public Service tariffs and arrangements, for which the agreed upon demand charge is determined based on Comanche 3, is limited to 500 MWs on an hourly basis. Plus: Energy Charge: (a) no less than 100% of Public Service’s System Incremental Costs (SIC); plus (b) up to 10% of SIC, provided, however, that whenever the SIC for an hour is based on purchased power, the 10% mark up shall be limited to one mill/kWh. Note: The total charges for any sale by Public Service using the Maximum Demand Charge as determined based on the Unit Revenue Constraint Methodology shall not exceed (1) the product of the requested demand (kW) multiplied by the applicable Maximum Demand Charge using the Unit Revenue Constraint Methodology as specified above, plus the variable costs of Comanche 3 (based on the most recent historical month where Comanche 3 was operational at least 80 percent of the time), and (2) be lower than a floor equal to 100% of Public Service’s System Incremental Cost. 3. When a cost-based sale of power and/or energy made by Public Service under the WSPP Agreement is conditioned upon Public Service acquiring purchased power, Purchaser shall pay the following amounts to Public Service for power and energy: (a) Public Service’s actual purchased power costs; plus (b) a one mill adder for transactions of less than one year in duration. 4. Purchasers in cost-based transactions shall also be responsible for any taxes, purchased power costs, and for any other costs incurred by Public Service in fulfilling its obligations for the provision of power and/or energy under the WSPP Agreement, which otherwise would not have been incurred, had such service not been provided. 5. For purposes of this Schedule Q, “Purchased Power” means the Power and Energy UB-378 purchased from a third party by Public Service and shall consist of the total amount paid therefor by Public Service associated with such purchase, plus any cost which otherwise would not have been incurred, including, but not limited to, regulatory commission charges, transmission losses, third-party transmission charges, and taxes, fees or assessments related to such transactions. Tax expenses shall include the expenses that are incurred as taxes either in connection with the sale or production of such Power and Energy. The term Purchased Power shall not apply to long-term purchases that are secured to supply Public Service’s obligation load requirements as a system resource or to meet other regulatory requirements. 6. For purposes of this Schedule Q, System Incremental Costs (“SIC”)1 shall be determined as follows: SIC are any costs forecasted to be incurred by Public Service solely by reason of its provision of an incremental amount of coordination-type energy to supply to another company, including but not limited to, costs for fuel, reactant, labor, operation, maintenance, start-up, fuel handling, taxes, emission allowances, and services provided by RTOs, ISOs, or other transmission providers such as transmission and ancillary services and losses. Such costs may also include costs paid to third parties where Public Service has an existing contractual entitlement to purchase energy. For intraday (real-time) transactions, incremental cost is determined through a review of hourly system characteristics. For non-intraday transactions, incremental cost is determined by using a resource optimization model such as, but not limited to ProSym or GenTrader. The forecasted incremental cost represents the relative increase in total variable cost, in comparison to the previously determined base variable cost. Public Service forecasts incremental costs on a monthly, daily and hourly basis in order to evaluate whether it would be economic to engage in a wholesale sale of coordination energy.2 In order for Public Service to transact, and sell power to another entity, the purchaser must be willing to pay no less than the forecasted incremental cost for the period during which the energy is sold. It is necessary to use forecasted costs because transactions are entered into in the market in advance. The forecast incremental costs for Public Service utilize its unique portfolio resources, applicable fuel costs and generation characteristics. Monthly forecasted incremental variable costs are developed utilizing an optimization and unit commitment model. Generation characteristics such as forecasted fuel prices, effective heat rates, system penalty factors, start-up costs, unit parameters (e.g., minimum run time, dispatch minimum, dispatch maximum), variable O&M, and tolling costs are utilized in the model to establish the base cost to serve a forecasted amount of obligation (load and the net of applicable firm purchase and sales transactions). Planned and forced outages are also considered in the model. Additional obligations are added to the model (consistent with blocks traded in the market), and the optimized costs are UB-379 returned. The difference in costs between the first and second run, i.e., with and without an incremental transaction or load addition, will represent the incremental cost to serve the additional obligation. The forecasted incremental cost to serve the additional obligation will establish the minimum price required in order to engage in a sale of similar energy volume. Daily forecasted incremental costs are developed utilizing a unit commitment and optimization program. The best available generation characteristics are utilized in the model to forecast the base cost to serve the next-day obligation. Additional obligations are applied and system costs evaluated to establish the forecasted cost to serve a potential incremental sale. On an hourly basis, the system operator forecasts the incremental cost to serve an additional obligation by evaluating current and short-term forecast system conditions and the resources that are not previously allocated to meet established obligations. If additional portfolio resources are available (not allocated for native load requirements), the system operator will evaluate the comprehensive cost to produce the quantity of energy needed for an incremental sale. If the Parties to a transaction under this WSPP Agreement expressly agree in a transaction agreement, incremental costs may be determined in the same manner as specified above, but on an after-the-fact, actual basis. Note 1: The Commission previously accepted this incremental rate methodology in Xcel Energy Services, Inc., et al., 117 FERC ¶ 61,180, at PP 45-49 (2006). Note 2: The Commission has found this approach to be acceptable. See, e.g., Western Systems Power Pool, 55 FERC ¶ 61,495, at 62,718 (1991) (noting that incremental cost “may be forecasted hourly, weekly, or monthly”).
