Execution Version
EXTENSION AGREEMENT
This EXTENSION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement'), dated as of December 9, 2024,
is entered into among IDAHO POWER COMPANY, an Idaho corporation ("Idaho Power" or
the "Borrower"), the Lenders party hereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
administrative agent for the Lenders (the"Administrative Agent").
RECITALS
Idaho Power, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2023 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Idaho Power has requested its first one-year extension of the Facility Termination Date
pursuant to Section 2.21(a) of the Credit Agreement and each Lender executing this Agreement
as a "Consenting Lender" (each, a "Consenting Lender") has approved such request pursuant to
Section 2.21(a)of the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Extension. Pursuant to Section 2.21(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower
requested an extension of the Facility Termination Date for a period of one year from December
8, 2028 to December 7, 2029 (the "Extension"). As of the date hereof, Consenting Lenders
holding Commitments that aggregate more than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments have
agreed to extend (such agreement evidenced by their execution of this Agreement) the Facility
Termination Date as to the Consenting Lenders for a period of one year from December 8, 2028
to December 7, 2029. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 1 hereof, the
Facility Termination Date as to the Consenting Lenders is hereby extended to December 7, 2029.
The Facility Termination Date as to each Non-Consenting Lender remains unchanged, subject to
the right of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21(b) of the Credit Agreement to require any
Non-Consenting Lender to assign to one or more Eligible Replacement Lender all of its rights
and obligations under the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all notice and timing
requirements required by Section 2.21 have been satisfied.
2. Conditions to Effectiveness. The Extension set forth in Section 1 shall become
effective as of the date (the "Extension Effective Date") on which each of the following
conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:
a. The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Agreement duly executed by Idaho Power, the Administrative Agent and Consenting Lenders
holding Commitments that aggregate more than 50%of the Aggregate Commitments.
b. Idaho Power shall have paid the fees and reasonable expenses required to
be paid on or prior to the Extension Effective Date under that certain fee letter, dated as of
174898443 24740 00024

National Association, including but not limited to an extension fee equal to 0.06% of each
Consenting Lender's Commitment as of the Extension Effective Date, and all other fees and
reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders required under the Credit
Agreement and any other Loan Document to be paid on or prior to the Extension Effective Date
(including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with this Agreement.
C. The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate (the statements
contained in which shall be true) of a duly authorized officer of Idaho Power, dated as of the
Extension Effective Date, stating that both before and after giving effect to the Extension (i) no

Article 5 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Extension Effective Date, except for such representations or warranties which by their terms are
made as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date.
d. The Administrative Agent shall have received copies (certified to be true
and complete by an authorized officer of the Borrower) of all approval orders of any public
utilities commission or any other regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Borrower (if any)
required for the Borrower in connection with the Extension.
3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants,
on and as of the Extension Effective Date, that (i)the representations and warranties contained in
the Credit Agreement are true and correct, both immediately before and after giving effect to this
Agreement (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have
been made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct
only on and as of such specific date), (ii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally, by general equitable principles or by principles of good faith and fair dealing
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), and (iii) no Default or
Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing on the Extension Effective Date, both
immediately before and immediately after giving effect to this Agreement.
4. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Credit
Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with
the provisions thereof on the date hereof. As used in the Credit Agreement, "hereinafter,"
"hereto," "hereof," and words of similar import shall, unless the context otherwise requires,

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents herein or in any such documents shall refer to

specified and shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document except as expressly set
forth herein. This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document under the terms of the Credit
Agreement.
