APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER
AUTHORIZING PROPOSED
TRANSACTION
Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power” or “Company”), in accordance with Idaho
Public Utilities Commission’s (“IPUC” or “Commission”) Rule of Procedure1 52, hereby
respectfully applies to the Commission for an order approving the proposed transaction
between Idaho Power and Oregon Trail Electric Consumers Cooperative, Inc. (“OTEC”)
providing for the sale and transfer of Idaho Power’s Oregon service territory to OTEC
(“Transaction”). Because the Transaction does not involve the change in ownership or
control, nor the allocation or exchange of service territory, customers, or property in the
state of Idaho, Idaho Code § 61-328 requiring IPUC approval is not directly applicable.
However, Idaho Power respectfully submits that the proposed Transaction is in the public
1 Hereinafter cited as RP.
APPLICATION - 2
interest and results in no harm to its Idaho customers, and asks the Commission to issue
its order finding the same. In support of this Application, Idaho Power files herewith the
testimonies of Adam Richins, Timothy E. Tatum, and Mitch Colburn and states as follows:
I. BACKGROUND
Idaho Power
1.Idaho Power is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, and has been a locally
operated energy company since 1916. Idaho Power has approximately 2,200
employees that serve more than 660,000 customers over a 24,000-square-mile service
area in Idaho and eastern Oregon. Idaho Power is subject to the jurisdiction of the IPUC,
the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (“OPUC”), and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (“FERC”). Idaho Power operates as an interconnected and vertically
integrated system.
2.Idaho Power’s Oregon service territory covers approximately 4,700 square
miles in Malheur, Harney, Baker, and Wallowa counties. In Oregon, Idaho Power serves
approximately 20,000 residential, irrigation, commercial, and industrial customers.
Oregon currently constitutes approximately 4 percent of Idaho Power’s total system load.
Based on Idaho Power’s most recent load forecasts, Oregon’s share of total-company
load is expected to decrease over time as load growth in the Idaho service area
continues to outpace load growth in Oregon. Indeed, by 2030, Oregon’s share of total
system load is expected to decrease to less than 3 percent.
OTEC
3.OTEC was founded in May 1987 and is one of Oregon's largest electric
distribution cooperatives. Electric cooperatives, like OTEC, are private, not-for-profit
APPLICATION - 3
utilities organized under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 62 and owned by the
member/owners they serve. OTEC’s existing service territory is adjacent and connected
to Idaho Power’s Oregon operations, and Idaho Power and OTEC have a long history of
coordination. OTEC is headquartered in Baker City, Oregon, with district offices and
operational facilities in La Grande, John Day, and Burns. OTEC serves approximately
32,000 meters in Baker, Grant, Harney and Union counties with a network of overhead
and underground lines approximately 3,000 miles long. OTEC’s service territory covers
approximately 6,700 square miles.
Proposed Transaction
4.On February 13, 2026, Idaho Power and OTEC (collectively, the “Parties”)
executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”), and the Parties executed a Territory
Allocation Agreement (“TAA”) as of May 13, 2026, providing for the transfer from Idaho
Power to OTEC of all of Idaho Power’s service territory and retail customers located in
Oregon, as well as certain distribution and transmission system assets (the “Assets”)
necessary to enable OTEC to serve the newly acquired service territory (“Transferred
Territory”). At the close of the Transaction (the “Closing”), Idaho Power will no longer
serve any retail customers in Oregon or retain any obligation or right to serve future retail
customers in the Transferred Territory. The APA and TAA have been filed with the OPUC,
Docket No. UM 2447, for its review and approval. The TAA is submitted herewith as
Attachment 1. The APA is submitted herewith as Attachment 2.
5.The Transaction is in the best interests of customers in both states and
provides a workable path forward for all parties. For Idaho, the Transaction will reduce
the complexity of operating in two states and allow the Company to focus funding,
APPLICATION - 4
infrastructure investments, and its workforce on Idaho’s growing population and energy
demand. The Transaction will not result in any near-term cost shifts to Idaho customers
and will result in long-term financial benefits for Idaho customers. For Oregon, the
Transaction will better align long-term retail service responsibilities with a utility whose
operating model and expected growth profile are similar to the affected service area
supported by local operations and cooperative governance.
6.The Transaction proposes a regulatory framework that will position Idaho
Power’s Idaho customers to receive long-term cost savings benefits from the Transaction
while insulating them from any near-term financial harm. The Transaction is intended
and proposed, with an appropriate regulatory framework, to ensure that Idaho customers
are not financially harmed by the Transaction. There are also long-term financial benefits
for Idaho retail customers resulting from the Transaction. This Transaction comes at a
time when Idaho Power’s Idaho service area is experiencing unprecedented growth and
increased capital investment to serve that growth. This Transaction will serve to help
keep Idaho customer rates affordable during this extraordinary expansionary period in the
Company’s history.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
7. Idaho Power proposes to sell, and OTEC proposes to buy, Idaho Power’s
entire Oregon service territory, which includes certain distribution and transmission
system infrastructure located in Malheur, Harney, Baker, and Wallowa counties in Oregon
currently providing service to approximately 20,000 customers. OTEC will pay $154
million for the Transferred Territory and Assets, subject to certain enumerated
APPLICATION - 5
adjustments.2 A map of the Transferred Territory is submitted herewith as Attachment 3.
Additionally, a map of the Parties’ respective service territories is submitted herewith as
Attachment 4.
8. Idaho Power will sell to OTEC nearly all of its distribution lines, along with
associated substations and related equipment, located in Oregon. Idaho Power will also
sell several transmission lines, but Idaho Power will retain nearly all Bulk Electric System
(“BES”) transmission lines to ensure that Idaho Power can continue to facilitate transfers
across its transmission system. Idaho Power will also retain a series of 69 kilovolts (“kV”)
transmission lines. The Transaction does not include the sale of Idaho Power-owned
generation assets to OTEC. The conveyed Assets are enumerated in Schedule 1.01(a)
of the APA.3
9.Idaho Power will also retain certain limited distribution assets located in
Oregon. Idaho Power will retain these distribution assets only for the following narrow
purposes: (1) to allow for continued Idaho Power service to a small number of customers
in Idaho who are currently served by distribution feeders that cross the Idaho-Oregon
state line, (2) to serve Idaho Power’s own generation assets and associated facilities that
are located in Oregon, and/or (3) to retain control of certain 69 kV or higher voltage lines
that are integral to operating Idaho Power’s retained BES infrastructure. Idaho Power will
not use the distribution assets to serve retail customer load in Oregon, and Idaho Power
will not serve any Oregon retail customers following Closing. Certain assets excluded
2 At Closing, the base purchase price will be increased by a Fixed System Asset Adjustment and a
Construction Work in Progress Adjustment. Attachment 2, Asset Purchase Agreement Section 2.05. Both
of these adjustments reimburse Idaho Power for continued capital expenditures made between the time
the APA was executed and the Closing Date. The base purchase price will also be reduced by a Regulatory
Liabilities Adjustment, which accounts for enumerated liabilities that OTEC will assume pursuant to the
Transaction.
3 Attachment 2, Asset Purchase Agreement Schedule 1.01(a).
APPLICATION - 6
from the Transaction are listed in Schedule 1.01(b) of the APA.
10. Idaho Power will also assign a series of contracts to OTEC, including certain
interconnection agreements, contracts for the Oregon Solar Photovoltaic Pilot Program,
the Verde Light Community Solar Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”), and others. The
assigned contracts are enumerated in Schedule 1.01(c) of the APA.4
11.Idaho Power intends to retain eleven (11) PPAs with qualifying facilities
(“QFs”) subject to the federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (“PURPA”) in
which the QF generation facilities are located in Oregon.
12.To manage the transition period following Closing, the Parties intend to
execute several ancillary agreements, form copies of which are incorporated as exhibits
to the APA. These ancillary agreements, which are described below, include the
Agreement for Supply of Power and Energy (the “Sales Agreement”), the Wheeling
Agreement, and the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”).
A. Agreement for Supply of Power and Energy
13. To facilitate a smooth transition for former Idaho Power customers, the
Parties will execute a Sales Agreement,5 which provides that Idaho Power will sell to
OTEC firm capacity and associated energy in the amounts necessary to meet the full
requirements of loads served in the Transferred Territory.6 Idaho Power has further
agreed to include the load of the Transferred Territory in its Western Resource Adequacy
Program (“WRAP”) forward showing capacity requirements.7 The initial term of the Sales

6 Attachment 2, Asset Purchase Agreement Exhibit C, Form of Sales Agreement Section 4.1.
7 Attachment 2, Asset Purchase Agreement Exhibit C, Form of Sales Agreement Section 4.6.
APPLICATION - 7
Agreement will extend from Closing until September 2030,8 and the Parties may agree to
extend the initial term by an additional four years.9 The Sales Agreement contemplates
a wholesale transaction between Idaho Power and OTEC, and following Closing, OTEC
will remain solely responsible for serving its new member/owners in the Transferred
Territory.10
B. Wheeling Agreement
14. Pursuant to the Wheeling Agreement, OTEC will provide wheeling services
to Idaho Power.11 Idaho Power presently relies on certain limited transmission and/or
distribution infrastructure located in Oregon—that is proposed to be transferred to
OTEC—to serve Idaho customers. Idaho Power also intends to retain eleven PPAs for
QFs located in Oregon. The Wheeling Agreement will address these circumstances by
requiring OTEC to wheel energy produced by existing Oregon QFs for delivery to Idaho
Power’s system and provide the wheeling services necessary to allow Idaho Power to
continue to serve its Idaho customers.
C. Transition Services Agreement
15. The Parties intend to execute the TSA under which Idaho Power will provide
as needed operational support to OTEC after Closing.12 The TSA protects Idaho Power’s
former Oregon customers by ensuring that there is no gap in essential functions following
the transfer of the Transferred Territory. The three ancillary agreements, together with the
TAA and APA, provide a framework to protect former Idaho Power customers in the
8 A date that coincides with a new BPA contract rate period.

Agreement Exhibit F-1, Form of Transition Services Agreement.
APPLICATION - 8
Transferred Area from harm, to ensure Idaho customers do not subsidize the Transaction,
and to place OTEC and Idaho Power in position to effectively and efficiently serve their
respective territories after the Transaction Closes.
D. Boardman to Hemingway (“B2H”) Transmission Line
16.Idaho Power will not convey any of its interest in B2H, an under-construction
290-mile, 500 kV transmission line project extending across eastern Oregon and
southwestern Idaho. Once completed, B2H will deliver up to 1,000 megawatts (“MW”)
(bidirectional) of power, helping Idaho Power and other regional utilities to reliably meet
peak demand while keeping energy prices affordable across the region. The Transaction
does not reduce the need for B2H and does not impact the construction schedule or
ownership interest in the line.
17.The value provided by B2H will remain unchanged in the near term and will
increase for the former Idaho Power customers in the Transferred Territory beginning in
2030. Because Idaho Power will continue to provide OTEC with both transmission and
power services under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Idaho Power transmission
and resource cost allocated to customers in the Transferred Territory will remain
essentially unchanged following Closing. When the term of the Sales Agreement ends in
late 2030, the added transmission capacity provided by B2H will help enable OTEC to
transition to BPA power supply, increasing B2H’s direct value to eastern Oregon. In sum,
as discussed further in the direct testimony of Idaho Power witness Mr. Mitch Colburn,
B2H remains necessary to serve customers in Oregon, Idaho, and throughout the region,
and will benefit the transmission and distribution system in the Transferred Territory as
well as Idaho Power’s Idaho service territory.
APPLICATION - 9
E. Treatment of PURPA PPAs
18. Idaho Power is party to eleven PURPA PPAs with QFs in Oregon,
representing approximately 64 MW of generation. Under the Transaction, Idaho Power
will retain these existing PPAs with Oregon-based QFs and contract with OTEC to wheel
the QFs’ generation to Idaho Power’s system.13 Idaho Power will assume the costs of
the wheel through the respective terms of the existing PPAs, consistent with the terms of
the Wheeling Agreement.14
19.Some of the QFs interconnect with distribution facilities that will be
transferred to OTEC as part of the Transaction. For those QFs, Idaho Power proposes
to assign the associated QF generator interconnection agreements (“GIA”) to OTEC. For
QFs that interconnect with distribution facilities retained by Idaho Power, Idaho Power will
retain the associated GIA.
20. If Idaho Power is not reasonably able to assign the contemplated GIA with
any QF, OTEC will attempt to execute a new GIA with the QF with substantially similar
terms to Idaho Power’s existing GIA with the QF.15 OTEC will maintain the new GIA for
as long as Idaho Power maintains a PPA with the associated QF.
21.For additional discussion regarding Idaho Power’s existing PURPA PPAs,
as well as the treatment of the associated GIAs, please see the direct testimonies of Idaho
Power witnesses Adam Richins and Mitch Colburn. Because Idaho Power will adhere to
its existing PPAs with Oregon QFs, the contemplated dispositions of the QF PPAs do not

15 Attachment 2, Asset Purchase Agreement Section 7.11(g). QFs are referred to as “PURPA Projects” in
the APA.
APPLICATION - 10
require approval by the OPUC as part of the Transaction, regardless of whether the
associated GIAs are maintained by Idaho Power, assigned to OTEC, or are subject to
negotiation of a successor GIA with OTEC.
F. Rate Impacts
22.Idaho Power is not requesting any change in Idaho customer rates as part
of this case. The Company is seeking Commission approval of the overall sale
transaction and related regulatory framework that will ensure Idaho customers are not
harmed by this Transaction. As summarized by Mr. Richins and described by Mr. Tatum
in their respective testimonies, the Transaction has been designed not to harm Idaho
customers following Closing and throughout the term of the TSA and Sales Agreement
(the “Transition Period”). OTEC will pay for transition services as described in the Direct
Testimonies of Mr. Tatum and Mr. Colburn. In addition, the Idaho revenue requirement
determination in a general rate case will be conducted in a manner, as described by Mr.
Tatum, that will reflect only the test year costs to serve Idaho retail customers. Further,
OTEC will pay its allocated portion of net power supply expense as outlined in the Sales
Agreement.
23.Additionally, there are long-term benefits that will be realized by Idaho
customers. Upon termination of the Sales Agreement, Idaho Power will no longer be
required to serve approximately 148 megawatts (“MW”) of firm load. As detailed in the
Direct Testimony of Mr. Timothy Tatum, the available capacity will represent a significant
ongoing avoided capacity cost benefit for Idaho customers as well as variable net power
cost savings. As Idaho Power’s Idaho service area is experiencing unprecedented
growth, this Transaction will ultimately serve to help keep Idaho customer rates affordable
APPLICATION - 11
during this extraordinary expansionary period of the Company’s history.
24.Mr. Tatum describes the anticipated general rate case (“GRC”) impact for
Idaho customers both during and after the Transition Period. Mr. Tatum describes the
rate treatment of generation, transmission, distribution, operations & maintenance
(“O&M”), and administrative & general (“A&G”) costs post-Closing during the terms of the
TSA and Sales Agreement:
Generation - During the effective period of the Sales Agreement, Idaho Power
plans to continue to separate fixed and variable generation-related revenue requirements
between Idaho and OTEC in GRCs in the same manner historically used to separate
those costs between Idaho and Oregon retail jurisdictions. In other words, Idaho
customers will not experience any change in generation-related cost assignment in any
GRC with rates effective during the term of the Sales Agreement.
Transmission - In GRCs following Closing, Idaho Power plans to assign 100
percent of the transmission-related revenue requirements to the Idaho jurisdiction with an
offsetting credit equal to total Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”) revenue,
including those revenues from OTEC for its utilization of the transmission system.
Because the OATT rate reflects the per-unit cost of the transmission system updated
annually, Idaho customers will only be assigned the net cost of the transmission system,
thereby holding them harmless from the Transaction as it relates to this cost category.
Distribution - Because the Company is selling all of its distribution assets used to
serve Oregon retail customers to OTEC as part of the Transaction, Idaho Power will only
own and operate distribution assets necessary to serve its Idaho retail customers after
Closing. Therefore, in GRCs following the Closing, Idaho Power will include for recovery
APPLICATION - 12
only distribution assets necessary to serve Idaho retail customers.
O&M and A&G – Following Closing, the Company will provide transitional O&M
services for a limited time duration under the TSA. In its next Idaho GRC, test year costs
incurred by the Company to provide service under the TSA will be offset by revenues
associated with the TSA. As a result, both the costs and the associated TSA revenues
will be incorporated into the determination of the total revenue requirement in a manner
that does not shift costs to Idaho retail customers.
Post Transition Period - Once the TSA and Sales Agreement are no longer in
effect, Idaho Power will no longer provide wholesale power service to OTEC, nor will it
provide transitional services. As a result, future GRCs will no longer reflect the revenues
and costs associated with providing those services and will instead reflect Idaho Power’s
ongoing operations to serve only the Idaho retail customers. Additionally, as mentioned
above, upon termination of the Sales Agreement, Idaho Power will no longer be required
to serve approximately 148 megawatts (“MW”) of firm load. As detailed in Mr. Colburn’s
testimony, the Company estimates that this 148 MW of equivalent capacity would cost
approximately $300 million to $450 million based on capacity prices the Company has
seen in recent resource acquisitions. This represents a significant ongoing avoided
capacity cost benefit for Idaho customers made possible by the Transaction. In addition,
the Company also expects the elimination of an estimated 148 MW of firm load service
to result in variable net power cost savings through a combination of increased surplus
sales, reduced market purchases, and reduced average system generation costs.
APPLICATION - 13

ATTACHMENT NO. 1
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT
Execution Copy
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT
This Territory Allocation Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between
Oregon Trail Electric Consumers Cooperative, Inc. dba Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative
("OTEC"), and Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power"), each hereinafter sometimes referred to
as a "Party" or together as the "Parties."
RECITALS
WHEREAS, OTEC and Idaho Power are each engaged in the sale of electricity to retail
customers located within exclusive service territories allocated to them by the Public Utility
Commission of Oregon (the "Commission"); and
WHEREAS, the exclusive service territories of OTEC and Idaho Power include areas that are
adjacent to each other in Baker County, Grant County, Harney County, Malheur County, and
Wallowa County, Oregon; and
WHEREAS, ORS 758.410 allows utilities to enter into agreements to allocate territory and
customers and to designate which territories and customers are to be served by each utility; and
WHEREAS, OTEC and Idaho Power wish to modify their respective service territories such that
OTEC will annex Idaho Power's entire exclusive service territory in the State of Oregon
("Annexed Territory"); and
WHEREAS, a map and the legal descriptions of the Annexed Territory, Idaho Power's Oregon
exclusive service territory, and OTEC's exclusive service territory are attached as Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, subject to Commission approval, OTEC and Idaho Power further wish to
permanently transfer the Annexed Territory from Idaho Power's exclusive service territory to
OTEC's exclusive service territory; and
WHEREAS, on or about February 13, 2026, OTEC and Idaho Power, in order to ensure safe and
reliable electric service in the Annexed Territory, entered into an "Asset Purchase Agreement" in
which OTEC will purchase certain of Idaho Power's assets necessary to service the Annexed
Territory as described therein. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, the Parties, in furtherance of the Policy of Oregon as stated in ORS 758.405, believe
that allocating the territories and customers as provided for in this Agreement will 1) eliminate or
avoid unnecessary duplication of utility facilities, 2) will promote the efficient and economic use
and development and the safety of operation of the utility systems of the Parties, and 3) provide
adequate and reasonable service to the Annexed Territory.
ACCORDINGLY, OTEC and Idaho Power hereby desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant
to ORS 758.410 so that OTEC and Idaho Power can more efficiently serve customers within the
Annexed Territory as provided for in this Agreement, and to complete the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT-I
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and releases set forth
herein, and the recitals stated above which are incorporated into this Agreement as is fully set
forth herein, the Parties agree as follows.
AGREEMENT
1) Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing ( as defined in
the Asset Purchase Agreement) ("Effective Date"); provided, that this Agreement may not
become effective without the approval by the Commission of the Asset Purchase
Agreement and the approval of the transactions and regulatory treatment by the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission; provided, further, that Section 2 of this Agreement shall be
enforceable only upon approval of this Agreement by the Commission pursuant to ORS
758.415.
2) Allocation of Annexed Territory. Subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and upon approval by the Commission, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
a)
b)
c)
Parties Agree to Transfer Annexed Territory. The Annexed Territory shall be
permanently transferred from Idaho Power's exclusive service territory to OTEC's
exclusive service territory.
Joint Petition for Commission Appro va l. As soon as practicable following the
execution of this Agreement by both Parties, the Parties shall jointly petition the
Commission to approve the agreed-upon transfer of the Annexed Territory in
accordance with ORS 758.415 to 758.425.
Service to Current and Future Customers in Annexed Territory. Upon
Commission approval of such transfer, OTEC shall have the exclusive right and
obligation to provide retail electric service to all current and any future customers
that may be located within the Annexed Territory, including the obligation to
construct, own, operate, and maintain any necessary electric facilities. Idaho Power
shall have no right or obligation to provide retail electric service to such customers
located in the Annexed Territory.
3) Compliance with ORS 758.405. The Parties believe that allocating the territories and
customers as provided for in this Agreement will: (1) eliminate or avoid unnecessary
duplication of utility facilities; (2) will promote the efficient and economic use and
development and the safety of operation of the utility systems of the Parties; and (3)
provide adequate and reasonable service to the Annexed Territory as described more fully
below.
a) Elimi nati on or Avoidance of Unnecessary Duplication ofUtility Fac iliti es.
The Parties believe that this Agreement will eliminate or avoid the unnecessary
duplication of utility facilities by creating a unified service territory across five
Oregon counties which are geographically adjacent to the Oregon territory
currently served by OTEC. By allowing OTEC to also serve the Annexed
Territory, OTEC will be able to use common assets to reduce the need for
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT-2
redundant capital investment that would be required for both OTEC and Idaho
Power to serve customers in service territories adjacent to each other. Allowing
OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory will also provide operations and
maintenance expense economies of scale for OTEC by more efficiently serving
customers in both its existing service territory and the Annexed Territory.
The Parties agree that allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory will also
avoid unnecessary duplication of existing interconnected facilities currently
serving the Annexed Territory. No additional lines, substations or other electric
facilities are necessary to continue service in the Annexed Territory. In addition,
there will be no stranded investments as part of the territory allocation and asset
sale because Idaho Power will continue to use any assets that are not included in
the Asset Sale for its Idaho and transmission customers.
b) Promotion of Efficient and Economic Use and Develo pment and Safety of Operation
c)
of the Ut ility Syste ms.
Allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory in addition to its adjacent Oregon
service territory will help promote efficiencies through economies of scale. The
combined operations can reduce per-unit costs for generation, transmission, and
distribution over time, which will benefit OTEC's members in the Annexed
Territory and its current members.
OTEC's current facilities and employees are close to certain areas in the Annexed
Territory (including outlying areas in Baker County, Grant County, Hamey
County, Western Malheur County), which will help support timely outage and
emergency response while efficiently utilizing current service centers and
equipment located in OTEC's Oregon service territory.
OTEC will also operate a service center in the Annexed Territory that will
uniformly benefit both OTEC's current members and members in the Annexed
Territory. The Oregon based service center will stock an inventory of commonly
used materials and supplies to provide fast access to those components in outage
situations and help foster the efficient repair and maintenance of utility facilities
in the Annexed Territory. Further, local utility crews will be based out of the new
service center to speed outage response and provide for a local workforce in the
Oregon communities.
Existing OTEC members and future members in the Annexed Territory will
benefit from this Agreement through economies of scale and system redundancy.
The Agreement will also ensure consistent safety standards and training across the
unified Oregon territory.
Provision of Adequ ate and Reasonable Service to t he Annexed Territory .
OTEC has a long history of providing safe and reliable service to its members,
which will include the Annexed Territory under this Agreement. OTEC is a non-
profit, member owned electric cooperative operating under cooperative principles.
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT-3

descriptions of said areas.Exhibits "A,""5"ana "C"
are attached to and made a part of the Application which
is on file in the office of the Public Utility Commissioner.
The Application sets forth five areas which

alleges it serves exclusively ,such areas being designated
as Areas "A,""B,""C,""D"and "E."The adjacent unserved
area,which Applicant seeks to have allocated to it,lies
between or surrounds the above-designated exclusively
served areas.
Pursuant to and within the time limited by ORS

Order #U-0855
Evidence was adduced in behalf of Applicant,
the hearing was completed and the matter submitted for
determination.Based upon the evidence and the record,
it is found that:
The full and correct name of Applicant is
Idaho Power Company.
Applicant's general office address is 1220 Idaho
Street,Boise,Idaho.Its principal business office
address in the State of Oregon is 99 S.Oregon Street,
Ontario,Oregon.
Applicant is incorporated under the laws of the
State of Maine and is presently qualified to do business
in the states of Oregon,Idaho and Nevada.Applicant is
now performing an electric utility service in the state
of Oregon within the areas it seeks to have allocated to
it as exclusively served territor:^.Applicant's Oregon
operations are located in Malheur,Harney and Baker
Counties .
The exclusively served territory applied for by
AuDlicant has been divided Into five areas designated as
Area "A,"Area "B,"Area "C,"Area "D"and Area "E."The
evidence reveals,and it is found,that Applicant is pro
viding an electric utility service in the above-designated
areas and that no other person is providing a similar
utility service within such areas.As used in this Order,
"Exclusively.Served Territory"will denominate those areas
within which Applicant is exclusively providing an electric
utility service.
The evidence reveals,and it is found,that the
area which Applicant seeks to have allocated to it as ad
jacent unserved area is not presently being served by any
electric utility."Adjacent Unserved Area,"as used in
this Order,will refer to the area which is adjacent to
Applicant's exclusively served territories and within which
no'electric utility is presently providing service of any
kind,but which Applicant believes it is more economical and
feasible to serve by an extension of its existing facilities
than by an extension of the facilities of another utility.

Order #kO 855
The exclusively served territories run gen
erally east and west with the adjacent unserved areas
lying between such territories to the north and south.
However,when the boundary description of all the served
and unserved areas is combined,the total area sought to
be allocated by this Application forms one complete,un
divided block or tract of land.The eastern boundary is '
the Oregon-Idaho State Line.The northern and north
western boundary is identical to the boundary lines of
territory previously allocated to Pacific Power &Light
Company and to California-Pacific Utility Company.The
southwestern and southern boundary is adjacent to areas
served by the Harney Electric Co-op.and was arrived at
by mutual agreement between the Co-op.and Applicant.
With minor exceptions,Applicant generates its
own power requirements.The total generating capacity
of Applicant's system is 1,027,000 kw.The peak load on
Applicant's svstem,including the power required in Oregon
was Sk8,0C0 kw.Applicant has under construction
its Hell's Canyon project which,when brought into pro
duction in 1?67,will have a peak generating capability of
k25,CGO kw.In Oregon,the peak load on distribution sub
stations in 1963 was slightly in excess of 35,000 kw.The
capacity of the Oregon substations is 98,000 kw .The
capacity of ail transmission lines serving the exclusively
served territory is approximately k25,000 kw.

Richland area and includes towns of Halfway,Richland and
New Bridge.The average number of customers served in this
area for the year 1963 was 8k7 .The primary service rendered

irrigation pumping load.Area B also contains the in
dustrial load for the Oregon-Portland Cement Company at
Lime.Four transmission lines serve Area B;two 69 kv
lines;one 138 kv line and one 230 kv line.These four
lines have a combined capacity of approximately 3^5,000 kw.
The present demand in the area approximates 95,000 lew.
Area C :Area "C"is known as the Ontario-Vale-
Nvssa-Juntura-Lrewsey area.The average number of persons
served in this area is 8,183.Area C contains the largest
towns in the company's Oregon territory --Ontario,Vale,
Nyssa,Adrian,Juntura anc Drews ey.In Ontario and Nyssa,
the company serves several industrial customers with
relatively large leads.The rest of the service to the
towns in this area is of the usual commercial and resi
dential type loads.Area C also contains many farms and
ranches with a fairly large demand for irrigation pumping
service.Area C is served by six transmission lines,
three of which are 69 kv lines and three of which are 138 kv
lines.The combined capacity of these lines is approximately
2^0,000 kw.The combined load in the area is aDtroximately
32,000 kv.
Area D:Area "D"is known as the Jordan Valley
area.Applicant serves approximately 270 customers in this
area.The bulk of the customers in this area are ranching
and farming customers.There are some residential and com
mercial customers in Jordan Valley,Arock and Rome.Area D
is served by a 69 kv line with a rated capacity of ap
proximately 7,600 kv.The load in the area in 1963 was
slightly less than 1,000 kv.
Area E:Area "E"is located in the vicinity of
the Owyhee dam and reservoir.Two customers are served in
this area,the Owyhee resort and the State of Oregon Highway
Department.The Owyhee dam site is served by the United
States Bureau of Reclamation.The power is wheeled by Idaho
Power from Reclamation plants located in Idaho to a sub
station on the Nyssa-Ontario pumping plant.From there the
-5-

power is carried by a Bureau of Reclamation 69 lev trans
mission line to the dam site.The Bureau wheels power
for Applicant over this line for service to Applicant's
two customers in Area E.The customers'load in this
area is approximately 100 ky.
As seen from the above,Applicant has sufficient
power and transmission capacity to serve the area and the
substations are adequate to handle foreseeable load growth.
A large expansion can be handled by installation of larger
transformers and additional substations.
There are only two entities who have transmission
lines extending into or through the served and unserved ter
ritory and area -the Bureau of Reclamation line previously
mentioned,and a 69 kv line belonging to California-Pacific
Utilities Company.No utility has distribution lines within
any of the areas sought here to be allocated to Applicant.
Applicant holds franchises from the towns of Half
way,Huntington,Jordan Valley,Juntura,Nyssa,Ontario,
Richland and Vale.The Applicant also holds franchises ana
specific line permits from the counties of Baker,Harney
and Malheur.Other towns within the territory served by Ap
plicant dc not require franchises and none have been issued.
Applicant's present facilities are so placed that
they are within a few miles of all points in the unserved
areas.In several areas the Applicant's distribution lines
extend to the extreme western boundary of the area proposed
to he allocated herein.
As before stated,the north and northwest boundary
is identical to the boundaries already established for
utilities serving adjacent thereto by orders of the Com
missioner.In most instances the boundary was determined by
natural topographic water shed divisions which open into
territory now exclusively served by Applicant.
It is estimated that there are approximately 17-19
permanent residences (farms or ranches)located throughout
the unserved area at the present time.There are no re
quests to extend service into these areas at this time.
-6-
."¦
Order /rt-0855
The unserved area to the north and west is
mountainous and heavily-timbered.As one proceeds south
ward the terrain becomes less mountainous and the land
becomes covered with sagebrush and willow-type growth.
The Brewsey-Juntura area is mountainous ana desert-type
terrain.The major use made of the unserved area is
cattle grazing.There is the possibility of some logging
activity in the timbered parts of the unserved areas as
well as resort activity.Applicant stands ready to ex
tend service into these unserved areas and the territories
it serves exclusively to any person requesting service,
in accordance with its tariffs.
The boundary heretofore established by Order of
the Commissioner for the utilities serving adjacent to the
area sought by applicant was the boundary of the area in
which those utilities believed they could more economically
and feasibly serve than could any other utility.A Rep
resentative of Harney Electric Co-op.testified that his
company agreed to the boundary of the area which Applicant
believes It can more economically and feasibly serve.
Based upon the proximity of Applicant's fa
cilities to points within the unserved areas,the capacity
of Applicant's facilities ana the general topography of
the areas,the unserved areas can be more economically and
feasibly served by an extension of its facilities than by
the extension of the facilities belonging to any other
company providing a similar utility service.
Ordinary construction of extensions is financed
from cash internally generated by the Applicant's business.
Under the Applicant's tariffs a consumer requesting extension
of service might be required to put up some money.If an ex
tension was of sufficient magnitude to require special
financing,Applicant would use conventional financing means
of issuing equity or debt securities in whatever ratio would
be reasonable and in accordance with the market for such
securities.It is the opinion of witnesses for Applicant
that any anticipated extension can be financed by the
company.This opinion is based on present knowledge of the
type of service which might be asked for in the area and the
company's financial capabilities.

ORDER
)
DISPOSITION:APPLICATION GRANTED
On July 30,1992,Idaho Power Company (IPCO)filed an application for an order
authorizing it to provide electric service to the U.S.Forest Service in the Hells Canyon Area.
On July 16,1996,IPCO,PacifiCorp,and the Commission's Staff filed a stipulation resolving all
issues.The stipulation recites facts and agreements among the parties and seeks Commission
approval of the stipulation.
The U.S.Forest Service operates a visitors'information center on the Oregon side
of the Snake River in Wallowa County,approximately 1/4 mile from the Hells Canyon Dam
operated by IPCO.The visitors'center is located in the service territory allocated to PacifiCorp.
However,IPCO's facilities are much closer to the visitors'center than are PacifiCorp's facilities.
It would be expensive and impractical for PacifiCorp to extend its facilities to provide electric
service to the visitors'center,but easy for IPCO to provide that service.Therefore,the parties
have agreed to transfer the allocated territory for the visitors'center from PacifiCorp to IPCO.
Additional details of the matter are specified in the attached Settlement Stipulation.
!
ORS 758.460 provides that an allocation of territory may be transferred only with
the approval of the Commission.The Commission will grant the requested transfer if it finds
that the transfer is not contrary to the public interest.No hearing is necessary if all affected
customers agree to the proposed transfer.
The proposed transfer benefits IPCO,PacifiCorp,and their customers.Because
IPCO's facilities are the closest to the visitors'center,it is more cost-efficient and less disruptive
to the environment for IPCO to provide the service.The only affected customer,the U.S.Forest
ORDER NO.9 6 -2 0 5
Service,agreed to the proposed transfer.The Commission finds that the proposed transfer of
allocated territory is not contrary to the public interest.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1 .The application of IPCO to transfer from PacifiCorp to IPCO authority to
provide exclusive electric service to the U.S.Forest Service's visitors'center near
the Hells Canyon Dam is granted;
2.The Settlement Stipulation filed by the parties is adopted,and the agreement
between IPCO and PacifiCorp to transfer the right to exclusively serve the
territory described in Exhibit 4 to the attached Settlement Stipulation is approved;
3.The territory described in Exhibit 4 to the attached Settlement Stipulation is
allocated exclusively for electric service to IPCO.

SETTLEMENT STIPULATION
)
In accordance with ORS 758.460 and OAR 860-25-027,Idaho Power
Company,(hereinafter "Idaho Power"),the Public Utility Commission of Oregon's Staff
(hereinafter "Staff)and PacifiCorp (hereinafter "PacifiCorp"),collectively hereinafter
"Parties"submit the following Settlement Stipulation.
INTRODUCTION
The U.S.Forest Service operates a Visitors Information Center ("Visitor's
Center")on the Oregon side of the Snake River in Wallowa County,Oregon approximately
1/4 mile north (downstream)of Idaho Power Company's Hells Canyon Dam.The Visitor's
Center is physically located within the Oregon service territory of PacifiCorp.Recognizing
that it would be economically impracticable for PacifiCorp to extend its distribution facilities
to provide retail electric service to the Visitor's Center,in the spring of 1992 the U.S.Forest
Service contacted Idaho Power and requested that Idaho Power provide electric service
to the Visitor's Center.Idaho Power's facilities at Hells Canyon Dam were capable of
being extended to provide distribution voltage service to the Visitor's Center.Recognizing
that the Visitor's Center is located in PacifiCorp's Oregon service territory,on June 30

1992,Idaho Power wrote to PacifiCorp regarding Idaho Power's providing electric sen/ice
to the Visitor's Center.A copy of the June 30,1992 letter from Idaho Power to PacifiCorp
is attached as Exhibit 1 .
By letter dated July 6,1992,PacifiCorp agreed that it was in the public
interest for Idaho Power to provide electric service to the Hells Canyon Visitor's Center.
A copy of PacifiCorp's July 6,1992 letter is attached as Exhibit 2.
On July 28,1992,Idaho Power advised the Public Utility Commission of
Oregon that Idaho Power and Pacific Power had agreed as to how service to the Hells
Canyon Visitor's Center,should be provided A copy of the July 28,1992 letter to the
OPUC is attached as Exhibit 3.
After advising the Commission of the Agreement,the service line was
installed in the fall of 1992.The Visitor's Center is currently receiving electric service from
Idaho Power.
Based on the foregoing and in response to the notice and conference report
issued in this proceeding by Administrative Law Judge Lowell Bergen,the parties hereto
submit this Settlement Stipulation to the Commission and request that the Commission
accept and approve the Settlement as presented.
AGREEMENTS
The Parties agree that it is more economically feasible to serve the1.
Visitor's Center by an extension of Idaho Power's electrical facilities than by an extension
of the electric facilities of PacifiCorp.
2.As a result of the remote location and difficult terrain surrounding the
Visitor's Center,it is extremely unlikely that there will be any additional demand for retail

utility service in the service territory proposed for transfer,other than for the Visitor's
Center.Therefore,the Parties agree that a portion of PacifiCorp's service territory in
Wallowa County,Oregon should be transferred to Idaho Power to facilitate electric service
to the Visitor's Center.
3.The legal description of the service territory proposed to be transferred
from PacifiCorp to Idaho Power is set out in Exhibit 4.
4.A map showing the general area of the sen/ice territory proposed to
be transferred from PacifiCorp to Idaho Power is attached as Exhibit 5.

Dear Mr Thiesen:
¦Idaho Power has received a request to provide service
to the U S Forest Service in Hells Canyon.
The location is approximately one-forth mile North of
Hells Canyon Dam.They are in the process of building a
visitors center and installing a mobile home for their
personnel.The total load is less than 50 KW.
Idaho Power can.provide service to these facilities,
however,it is my understanding that Idaho Power does not have
the authority to serve in Wallowa County Oregon.I understand
this may be your service area.It appears it may not be
practical for you to provide this service due to the distance
from your existing distribution system.With your company's
agreement we would be willing to provide service to this
customer .
Please let me know as soon as possible,as to not delay
the progress of this project.

vacation, workers' compensation, severance, retention, termination or other payments;
(g) any claims or liabilities under Environmental Laws to the extent arising out
of or relating to any wastes, materials, substance, equipment or Hazardous Substances transported
to an Off-Site Location prior to Closing;
(h) any liabilities to indemnify, reimburse or advance amounts to any present
or former officer, director, employee, or equityholder of Seller or its Affiliates (including with
respect to any breach of fiduciary obligations by the same), except for indemnification of the same
pursuant to Section 8.02 as Seller Indemnified Parties; and
(i) any liabilities associated with the Indebtedness of Seller or the Business
owing to financial institutions.
Section 2.05 Purchase Price.
(a) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, in consideration of the purchase, sale, assignment and conveyance of Seller’s right,
title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets, Buyer will assume and become obligated to
pay, perform and discharge, when due, the Assumed Liabilities and will pay to Seller
$154,000,000.00 (the “Base Purchase Price”), plus, the Fixed System Asset Adjustment, plus the
Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, less, the Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment
(collectively, the “Purchase Price”).
(b) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will prepare
and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) containing its good faith
estimate, prepared with reasonable supporting detail or documentation to verify the Values
contained therein, of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), including its good faith
estimates of the Fixed System Asset Adjustment, the Construction Work in Progress Adjustment,
the Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment of the Business, and an allocation of the Purchase Price for
17
4914-3412-4175.2
each parcel of Tier One Real Property, which allocation shall be used solely for the purpose of the
Title Policies and shall not be binding on the parties for purposes of Section 7.02(c).
Section 2.06 Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price will be finally determined in
accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in this Section 2.06, Section 2.07 and
Section 2.08.
(b) If the Purchase Price, as finally determined, is greater than the Estimated
Purchase Price (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then within two Business Days following the
final determination of the Purchase Price, Buyer will pay to Seller the Excess Amount by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.
(c) If the Purchase Price, as finally determined, is less than the Estimated
Purchase Price (such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”), then within two Business Days following
the final determination of the Purchase Price, Seller will pay to Buyer the Shortfall Amount by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer.
(d) The Parties agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.06 will
be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, except to the extent otherwise
required by applicable Law.
(e) No adjustment shall be made to the allocated Purchase Price of the parcels
of Tier One Real Property pursuant to Section 2.05(b) after the Closing Date.
(f) An example calculation of the Purchase Price, provided for illustrative
purposes only, is set forth in Schedule 2.06 to illustrate how the Estimated Closing Statement is
reconciled with the Closing Statement to determine how any Excess Amount or Shortfall Amount
is calculated.
Section 2.07 Preparation of the Closing Statement. As soon as practicable, but no later
than 150 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the
“Closing Statement”) setting forth (a) Buyer’s calculation of the amount of the Fixed System Asset
Adjustment, the Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, and the Regulatory Liabilities
Adjustment, (b) the calculation of the Purchase Price therefrom, and (c) reasonable supporting
detail with respect to the calculation of each of the components of the Purchase Price. The Closing
Statement will be prepared by Buyer in accordance with GAAP. The Parties agree that the purpose
of preparing the Closing Statement and determining the Fixed System Asset Adjustment, the
Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, the Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment, and the final
Purchase Price under this Section 2.07 is to adjust for inaccuracies in the estimates in such
amounts, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments,
accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation
methodologies (collectively, “Accounting Changes”) for the purpose of preparing the Closing
Statement or determining such amounts. To the extent that (i) the accounting principles used to
prepare the Closing Statement are not the same as those used to prepare the Estimated Closing
Statement or (ii) any Accounting Changes have been made in connection with the Closing
Statement which were not used to prepare the Estimated Closing Statement, in each such case,
18
4914-3412-4175.2
adjustments shall be made to the Closing Statement to reverse the effect of any such Accounting
Changes and any changes in accounting principles. Notwithstanding any adjustment to the
foregoing items under this Section 2.07, the Closing Statement will be deemed issued as of the
Closing Date for purposes of determining the impact of any subsequent events on the Closing
Statement. In preparing the Closing Statement, no effect will be given to (i) the financing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other changes arising from or resulting as a
consequence of the financing of transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any purchase accounting
or other similar adjustments resulting from the consummation of such transactions.
Section 2.08 Disputes Regarding the Closing Statement.
(a) During the 60-day period following receipt of the Closing Statement (such
period, the “Dispute Period”), Buyer will provide to Seller such documents, books, records and
work papers as Seller may reasonably request to review the Closing Statement, including access
during normal business hours to Buyer’s, or its Affiliates’, personnel involved in the preparation
of the Closing Statement that are responsible for accounting, finance or senior management. On or
prior to the last day of the Dispute Period, Seller may provide written notice to Buyer disputing
the calculation of all or a part of the Purchase Price set forth in the Closing Statement (the
“Dispute”), setting forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts set forth in the Closing
Statement with which Seller disagrees (the “Dispute Notice”). If Seller does not deliver to Buyer
the Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, then the Closing Statement will be deemed to have
been accepted and agreed to by Seller in the form in which it was delivered and will be final and
binding on the Parties. If Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to Buyer within the Dispute Period,
then Buyer and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute within 30
days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, provided that all such discussions will be governed
by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and the corresponding provisions of state, local or
foreign Law. If Buyer agrees with Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Closing
Statement, then Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Dispute Notice will be
final and binding upon the Parties.
(b) If Buyer and Seller cannot reach agreement to resolve every element of the
Dispute within such 30-day period, then Buyer and Seller will jointly engage an accounting expert
to resolve the Dispute (the Person appointed pursuant to this Section 2.08(b), the “Accounting
Expert”). The Accounting Expert will be a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm
mutually agreed between Seller and Buyer. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on such
accounting firm, then either Buyer or Seller may request that the CPR International Institute for
Conflict Prevention and Resolution appoint a certified public accountant (having no conflict of
interest) who at the time is, or for at least five years formerly was, a partner (or in a position of
equivalent stature) in an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing,
to serve as the Accounting Expert. Each of Seller and Buyer will cooperate with the other Party
and the Accounting Expert and use its reasonable efforts to complete the engagement of the
Accounting Expert as promptly as possible.
(c) The Accounting Expert’s sole function will be to resolve each element of
the Dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice not resolved by Buyer and Seller (the “Disputed
Elements”) as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator, by determining in accordance with
this Agreement and with GAAP, whether and to what extent, if any, the calculation of the Purchase
19
4914-3412-4175.2
Price set forth in the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.07 requires
adjustment with respect to such Disputed Elements and, if so, the amount of any such adjustment
or adjustments.
(d) In resolving the Dispute, the Accounting Expert will limit its consideration
to (i) reviewing the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice, as supplemented by written
submissions of Seller and Buyer, which may explain their respective positions, and (ii) conducting
a conference at which each of Seller and Buyer may present additional documents, materials,
testimony and other information, and have present their respective advisors, counsel and
accountants at the conference; provided that Buyer and Seller will be limited by their positions set
forth in the Closing Statement and Dispute Notice, respectively, and the written submissions or
other materials submitted by Buyer and Seller or presented at the conference may not raise any
element that is not a Disputed Element. Any such conference may be held, in the discretion of the
Accounting Expert, by telephone conference, videoconference or in person. The Accounting
Expert may not conduct any independent investigation or review concerning the Disputed
Elements or any other matter. Each of Seller and Buyer will provide to the other Party and the
Accounting Expert any documents, books, records and work papers as such Party or the
Accounting Expert may reasonably request to review the Closing Statement and to resolve the
Dispute.
(e) Buyer and Seller will direct the Accounting Expert to as promptly as
possible, and in any event within 30 days after the date of its engagement, render its decision on
each Disputed Element in a writing to Buyer and Seller setting forth a written statement of findings
and conclusions, including a written explanation of its reasoning, a revised Closing Statement
reflecting its decision and a revised calculation of the Purchase Price based on its calculation of
Fixed System Asset Adjustment, the Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, and the
Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment.
(f) The Accounting Expert will be bound by this Agreement and may not revise
any element of the Closing Statement that is not disputed by the Parties or assign a value to any
Disputed Element of the Closing Statement greater than the greatest value for such item claimed
by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The process
set forth in this Section 2.08 will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for any Dispute. Each of
the Accounting Expert’s decision, the revised Closing Statement, and the revised calculation of
the Purchase Price, absent fraud or manifest error, will be final and binding upon the Parties, and
judgment may be entered on the award. The Accounting Expert may not and will not have authority
or jurisdiction to resolve or decide any matter or dispute other than, as provided in and in
accordance with this Section 2.08, resolving the Dispute by determining whether and to what
extent, if any, the Closing Statement and resulting calculation of the Purchase Price should be
revised with respect to any elements or amounts of the Closing Statement subject to the Dispute.
Any other dispute or matter arising under or with respect to this Agreement (including any dispute
over whether any claim, issue, element or amount is within the authority of the Accounting Expert
to determine) will be reserved for and determined by a court specified in Section 11.08.
(g) Seller and Buyer will share the fees and expenses of the Accounting Expert
in inverse proportion to the relative amounts subject to the Dispute determined in favor of such
Party, in accordance with the following formulas: (i) Buyer will pay a portion of such fees and
20
4914-3412-4175.2
expenses equal to the total fees, costs and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Seller and the denominator
of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute, and (ii) Seller will pay a portion of such
fees, costs and expenses equal to the total fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Buyer and the denominator
of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of
Buyer and Seller will pay the fees, costs and expenses of their respective attorneys, accountants
and other representatives in connection with the Dispute.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER
Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that, except as set forth in the disclosure schedules
delivered by Seller to Buyer concurrently with this Agreement (collectively, the “Disclosure
Schedule”), the statements contained in this Article 4 are true and correct as of the Effective Date
and are expressly remade as of the Closing Date (except for those representations and warranties
that address matters as of a specified date, which are made with respect to such date). Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that: (a) inclusion of information in any section of the Disclosure
Schedule will not be construed as an admission that such information is material; (b) matters
reflected in any section of the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required
by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule and such additional matters are set
forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature;
and (c) if any section of the Disclosure Schedule lists an item or information, and the relevance of
such item or information to another section of the Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent, then
the matter will be deemed to have been disclosed in such other section of the Disclosure Schedule,
notwithstanding the omission of an appropriate cross-reference to such other section.
Section 4.01 Existence and Power. Seller is a corporation duly incorporated and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Idaho. Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority
to carry on the Business as it is currently conducted, to own, lease and operate the Acquired Assets
where such Acquired Assets are now owned, leased or operated, as applicable, to enter into the
Transaction Agreements, and to consummate the Transactions. Seller is duly qualified or licensed
to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the Acquired Assets or the
nature of the Business makes such qualification or license necessary, except in any jurisdictions in
which the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed or in good standing would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Business or the Acquired Assets.
Section 4.02 Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by
Seller of the Transaction Agreements, and the consummation by Seller of the Transactions at the
Closing, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller.
Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer, this
Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller
in accordance with its terms and conditions, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).
23

have been duly made or obtained, as applicable, (b) all filings, expirations or terminations of
waiting periods, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under, and
other applicable requirements of, the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law have been
made, satisfied, or received, as applicable, and (c) all Regulatory Approvals have been received,
neither the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of the Transaction Agreements, nor the
consummation by Seller of the Transactions at the Closing (i) violates any provision of the
Organizational Documents of Seller, (ii) violates any Law or any applicable Order, or (iii) except
as set forth in Section 4.03 of the Disclosure Schedule, with or without the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both, result in the breach of, or constitutes a default, or gives rise to any
termination or right of termination, or requires any consent under, or results in the creation of any
Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) upon any Acquired Asset pursuant to, any
Material Contract, except, in each of clauses (ii) and (iii), where the violation, breach, default,
failure to obtain consent or creation of such Encumbrance would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.03, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall have the
same meaning as “Material Adverse Effect” as defined in Section 1.01, but specifically excluding
those items listed in (i)(H) and (I) in said definition.
Section 4.04 Governmental Authorization. Except as set forth in Section 4.04 of the
Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery by Seller of the Transaction Agreements, and the
consummation by Seller of the Transactions at the Closing, require no action by or in respect of,
or filing with, any Governmental Body, except where the failure to obtain such action or make
such filing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.04, the
term “Material Adverse Effect” shall have the same meaning as “Material Adverse Effect” as
defined in Section 1.01, but specifically excluding those items listed in (i)(H) and (I) in said
definition.

any Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Business or the Acquired Assets.
Section 4.07 Taxes.
(a) Seller has timely filed all material Tax Returns required to be filed by it

(b) Seller has timely paid all material Taxes due and payable by it arising out
of or relating to Seller’s ownership, possession or use of the Acquired Assets or the operation of

24
4914-3412-4175.2
(c) All material Taxes that Seller is required to have collected or withheld

Section 4.09 Intellectual Property.
(a) Section 4.09 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth as of the Closing Date,
all Seller Intellectual Property that is registered, issued, or the subject of a pending application
owned or controlled by Seller (the “Registered IP”). All Registered IP registrations, issuances, and

Knowledge of Seller, valid. To the Knowledge of Seller, no loss or expiration of any issued
Registered IP is threatened, pending, or reasonably foreseeable, other than expiration at the end of
its statutory term (and not due to any act or omission of Seller or its Subsidiaries), including
nonpayment of maintenance fees.
(b) Seller owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Seller Intellectual
Property, subject to licenses granted by Seller to Third Parties and any Permitted Encumbrances;
provided that this representation does not constitute a representation or warranty regarding
infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any Third Party Intellectual Property, which is
addressed solely in Section 4.09(d) below.
(c) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements and the
consummation of the Transactions will not cause the loss of any Seller Intellectual Property or
grant any Person new or additional rights under any Seller Intellectual Property, except as set forth
in Section 7.15.
(d) Except as set forth in Section 4.09 of the Disclosure Schedule, to the
Knowledge of Seller: (i) in the last two years, Seller has not received any written claim or notice
(including any written indemnification claim from any customer of the Business) alleging that
Seller’s operation of the Business infringes or misappropriates any Third Party Intellectual
Property; (ii) there are no Proceedings currently pending against Seller alleging that any Seller
Intellectual Property infringes or misappropriates any Third Party Intellectual Property; and (iii)

Intellectual Property in a manner that has caused a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Seller has taken reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of material
trade secrets included in the Seller Intellectual Property.
25
4914-3412-4175.2

events affecting any material Transferred IT Assets that have caused any substantial disruption of
or interruption in or to the conduct of the Business.
(g) Seller collects, stores, and processes Transferred Personal Data in
accordance with Applicable Privacy and Data Security Laws. To the Knowledge of Seller, no
Proceeding is currently pending against Seller alleging any violation of any Applicable Privacy
and Data Security Laws by or on behalf of Seller. Seller uses commercially reasonable measures
to protect against, detect, and remediate threats or hazards to the security and integrity of the
Transferred Personal Data.
The representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.09 constitute the sole and exclusive
representations and warranties of Seller with respect to Intellectual Property and data privacy and
security matters.
Section 4.10 Material Contracts.
(a) Section 4.10 of the Disclosure Schedule lists all of the following Contracts
to which Seller is a party and which are in effect as of the Effective Date:

Material Contract.
(b) All of the Material Contracts are valid and binding on Seller and currently
in full force and effect. Seller is not in material default under any of the Material Contracts, and
no event has occurred that, through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a material default by Seller or give rise to a right of termination or cancellation by
another party under any of the Material Contracts. To the Knowledge of Seller, no other Person is
in breach or default under any of the Material Contracts. Seller has received no written notice from,
and has no Knowledge that, a Third Party intends to cancel or terminate any Material Contract or

federal, state or local governmental authorities for its operation of the System, in its own name, (i)

compliance in all material respects with each Necessary Permit, including, but not limited to, the
payment in full of all fees and charges with respect to such Necessary Permits. There are no actions

suspension or restriction of any Necessary Permits or the imposition of any fine, penalty or other
sanction or liability for violation of any Law or Order relating to any Necessary Permits.
Section 4.12 Proceedings and Orders. Neither the Business nor any of the Acquired
Assets are subject to any outstanding Order, and there is no material pending Proceeding or, to the

Substation Easement”). The Owned Real Property and Electrical Substation Easements are
collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Tier One Real Property”. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Lime
substation shall be a Tier Two Real Property (as defined below) and shall be treated as, and deemed
to be, a Tier Two Real Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lime substation has been
decommissioned and is not included in the defined term, Electrical Substation Easement. To
Seller’s Knowledge, Section 4.13(a) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the true and correct
address (if available) and GPS coordinates (if available) in all material respects of each parcel of
Tier One Real Property.
(b) All other electrical facilities not included in the Tier One Real Property,
including transmission and distribution system structures, poles and other supporting structures,
wires, fuses, switches, conductors and conduit, service transformers, pole-mounted switches,
regulators and equipment, corrosion protection fittings and equipment, telemetering and
communications equipment, protective equipment, and meters, used in the provision of the System
electric distribution and transmission services are located on real property for which Seller has a
lawful and enforceable right of way necessary for the placement, maintenance, repair, relocation,
and replacement of, and access to and from, such facilities (such right of way is referred to in this
Agreement as “Tier Two Real Property”), except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
materially interfere with the current use of the Tier Two Real Property by the Business, and would
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. To Seller’s Knowledge, Section
4.13(b) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and correct description of the location and GPS
coordinates (if available) in all material respects of each parcel of Tier Two Real Property. The
Tier One Real Property and Tier Two Real Property are referred to in this Agreement collectively
as the “Real Property”. The Tier One Real Property and the Tier Two Real Property are mutually
exclusive.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 4.13(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) Seller
has good and valid fee simple title to the Owned Real Property, free and clear of Encumbrances
other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) such Permitted Encumbrances do not, individually or in
the aggregate, materially interfere with the current use of the Owned Real Property by the
Business, and are not likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) Seller has not granted to any
Person any right to use or occupy the Owned Real Property or any material portion thereof that
remains in effect as of the Effective Date, (iv) other than the rights of Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement, Seller has not granted any outstanding options, rights of first offer, rights of first
refusal or other similar rights in favor of any Person to purchase the Owned Real Property or any
portion thereof or interest therein, in each case that remains in effect as of the Effective Date or as
of the Closing Date, as applicable, and (v) with respect to the Business, Seller is not a party to any
binding Contract or option to purchase any real property or interest solely used for the benefit of
the Business, other than as set forth on Section 4.13(c) of the Disclosure Schedule. For purposes
of this Section 4.13(c), “Permitted Encumbrances” shall include (A) Encumbrances for Taxes not
28
4914-3412-4175.2
yet due and payable or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (B) statutory
Encumbrances of landlords and in favor of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics and materialmen
incurred in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet due and payable or which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (C) easements, covenants, rights-of-way,
restrictions, encroachments and other similar matters of record that do not, individually or in the
aggregate, materially interfere with the current use of the Owned Real Property by the Business,
and (D) zoning, entitlement and other land use and environmental regulations by any
Governmental Body. The Owned Real Property includes all of Seller’s estate right, title and
interest in the respective Owned Real Property, including, to the extent such exists or is applicable:
(1) all tenements, hereditaments, appurtenances, water rights, easements, covenants, permits,
approvals, entitlements escrows, development rights and other rights arising from or appertaining
to the land; and (2) all structures, fixtures, systems, improvements, water and sewer utility

scope of each Electrical Substation Easement permits use by the grantee including those used by
Seller in the Business; (ii) Seller has not received any written notice alleging any material breach
or material default that remains uncured under the Electrical Substation Easements and, to the
Knowledge of the Seller, there exists no material default by any party, including the servient estate
holder, under the Electrical Substation Easements; (iii) to Seller’s Knowledge, Seller has the right
to assign its interest under the Electrical Substation Easements to Buyer without the necessity of
obtaining any Third Party’s consent (including any servient estate holder); and, (iv) with respect
to the Business, Seller is not a party to any binding Contract or option to purchase any real property
interest similar to the Electrical Substation Easements expected to be solely used for the benefit of
the Business.
(e) None of the Real Property is the subject of any pending condemnation or
eminent domain action of which Seller has received written notice, and no such action has been
threatened in writing. To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no written proposal under consideration
by a Governmental Body to take or use any material portion of the Real Property. To the
Knowledge of Seller, the Owned Real Property and all improvements located thereon comply with
all existing subdivision, land use, and zoning ordinances, regulations and restrictions in all material
respects. To the Knowledge of Seller, none of the Owned Real Property is, or within the past two
years has been, in material violation of any zoning regulation, building restriction, restrictive
covenant, ordinance or other Law, except for such violations that have been cured or resolved.
Seller has not received any written notice alleging any such material violation that remains
outstanding as of the Effective Date.
(f) Except as set forth in Section 4.13(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, the
continued maintenance and operation of Business facilities located on the Real Property as
currently maintained and operated are not, in any material respect, dependent on facilities located
at any property not included in the Real Property (other than customary services provided by third-
party utilities or service providers), and, to the Knowledge of Seller, the continued maintenance
and operation of any Business facilities not included in the Real Property are not, in any material
respect, dependent on facilities located on the Real Property. To the Knowledge of Seller, no
building or other improvement not part of the Real Property relies on the Real Property, or any
29
4914-3412-4175.2
part thereof or interest therein, to comply with or fulfill any Law in any manner that materially
interferes with the current use of the Real Property by the Business, and no building or other
improvement on the Real Property relies on any property not included in the Real Property to
comply with or fulfill any Law in any manner that is material to the current use of the Real Property
by the Business. All of the Acquired Assets used or held for use in the Business which are affixed
to real property are entirely located on the Real Property, except for such cases as do not,
individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the use of such Acquired Assets by the
Business as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 4.13(f) of the Disclosure Schedule,
all buildings or improvements located on the Real Property, lie, in all material respects, within the
boundaries of such Real Property and, to the Knowledge of Seller, do not, in any material respect,
encroach on an easement or property owned by another Person, and, to the Knowledge of Seller,
no building or improvement owned or used by another Person materially encroaches on the Owned
Real Property.

released, transported, stored, treated or disposed of Hazardous Substances in violation of
Environmental Laws in a manner that has resulted in liability of Seller under Environmental Laws.

the consummation of the Transactions will not result in the termination, suspension or material
30
4914-3412-4175.2
impairment of any such Environmental License, other than as would not reasonably be expected
to be material to the Business, taken as a whole, or which may be transferred from Seller to Buyer,
or, if terminated by operation applicable Law, may be subsequently pursued by Buyer.
(c) To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no unregistered underground storage
tank present on the Real Property and any underground storage tanks removed during Seller’s

Section 4.15 of the Disclosure Schedule and subject to this Agreement (including the Transition
Services Agreement and any other agreements delivered hereunder), (b) the Excluded Assets, and
(c) the corporate and administrative functions not unique to the Business as set forth on Section
4.15 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Acquired Assets and the rights granted to Buyer constitute,
in all material respects, the assets Seller used to operate the Business during the 12-month period
prior to the Effective Date and Closing Date, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained in this Section 4.15 shall be construed to make any representation or warranty
with respect to any matter described in Section 4.07 (Taxes), Section 4.08 (Title to Acquired
Assets), Section 4.09 (Intellectual Property), Section 4.13 (Real Property), or Section 4.14
(Environmental Matters) and each such Section contains the sole and exclusive representations
with respect to the matters described therein.

entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transactions
based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates.

on the Disclosure Schedule, there are no material liabilities, obligations or debts whether absolute
or contingent, monetary or non-monetary, direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, related to the
Acquired Assets other than those disclosed in the Data Room or the Schedules to this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 4.17 shall be construed to make any

financial information for the Business set forth on Section 4.18 of the Disclosure Schedule for the
years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, each with respect to the Business (collectively, the
“Seller Financial Information”), which Seller Financial Information has been extracted from the
financial records of Seller. The publicly available financial statements of Seller are subject to audit
and fairly and accurately present the financial condition and results of operations of Seller. The
Seller Financial Information has been prepared under Seller’s internal control frameworks and
accounting processes and represents Seller’s estimates of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities
of the Business as of the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial
information. Seller made estimates and assumptions when preparing the Seller Financial
Information. Such estimates and assumptions include, among others, allocations of certain
31
4914-3412-4175.2
revenues and expenses to the Oregon service area. These estimates and assumptions affected the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the Seller Financial Information and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the related reporting periods. These estimates
involved Seller’s reasonable judgments with respect to, among other things, the Oregon service
area’s share of Seller’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, which could differ from actual
amounts.
Section 4.19 Employee Benefit and Employment Matters. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements to which Seller is a party, nor
compliance with any provision hereof or thereof, nor consummation of the Transactions will
(i) violate any collective bargaining agreements between Seller and each employee of Seller who
is primarily employed in the operation of the Business or (ii) violate any deferred compensation,
profit-sharing, welfare, retirement or pension plans, retiree medical plans, incentive plans, material
bonus plans or other material employee benefit or fringe benefit plans, including “employee
pension benefit plans” under ERISA, maintained or with respect to which contributions are made
by Seller in respect of its employees primarily employed in the operation of the Business.

NOT MAKING AND WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, NOR WILL SELLER (OR
ANY OTHER PERSON) HAVE OR BE SUBJECT TO ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF,

OF SELLER (INCLUDING ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS), AS TO THE
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION REGARDING SELLER, THE
BUSINESS, THE ACQUIRED ASSETS OR THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES, INCLUDING
SELLER’S BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, ASSETS (INCLUDING THE
CONDITION, VALUE, QUALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY ASSETS, WHETHER
TANGIBLE, INTANGIBLE OR MIXED) AND LIABILITIES (ANY OF THE FOREGOING,
AN “EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENT”). EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 4 OR IN THE BILL OF
SALE, THE REAL PROPERTY DEEDS, THE REAL PROPERTY AFFIDAVITS, OR THE
SELLER’S OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE, SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND

Schedule, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, enter into any transaction, or any
agreement to effect any transaction (including any investment, merger or acquisition) that would
reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult, or to materially increase the time

36
4914-3412-4175.2
applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) avoid the entry of, the
commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction,
temporary restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) obtain all
authorizations, consent orders and approvals of Governmental Bodies necessary for the

Section 6.03 Third Party and other Governmental Body Consents and Notices. During

with each other, to obtain the Third Party consents and deliver the notices required to consummate
the Transactions that are set forth on Schedule 6.03; provided that (a) except with respect to any
consent required under the Leases, for which Seller shall be fully and ultimately responsible, no
Party will be obligated to pay any consideration to any Third Party from whom consent or approval
is requested (other than de minimis amounts) and (b) no Party shall make any such filing or notice
without the prior written consent of the other Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer agrees
to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable assurances as to financial capability,
resources, creditworthiness or other qualifications as may be reasonably requested by any Person
whose consent or approval is sought hereunder.
Section 6.04 Access. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller will give reasonable access
(which may be limited to virtual access) during normal business hours to all of the books, contracts,
documents, records and senior management of the Business reasonably requested by or on behalf
of Buyer to Buyer’s duly authorized officers and employees (other than with respect to Taxes or
Tax Returns, which shall be governed by Section 7.02(b)), only to the extent such Persons are
bound by an agreement with Buyer with confidentiality and non-use terms applicable to such
information no less restrictive than those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided,
however, that Seller may limit or restrict such access if in the reasonable judgment of Seller, (a)
any applicable Law or confidentiality obligation requires Seller to limit or restrict such access, (b)
such access would cause competitive harm to Seller or the Business if the Transactions are not
consummated, (c) such access would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or other legal
privilege or (d) such access would unreasonably disrupt the operations of Seller or the Business.
Section 6.05 Operation of the Business. During the Pre-Closing Period, except as
otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions or to the
extent Buyer otherwise consents in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned, Seller will not:

Acquired Assets, other than Acquired Assets used, leased, consumed or replaced in the Ordinary
Course of Business and the sale of materials and supplies in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(b) Modification, Amendment and Termination. Modify, amend or voluntarily
terminate, or fail to use commercially reasonable efforts (excluding any obligation to offer or pay
any consideration therefor) to prevent any other party from voluntarily terminating, any of the
Assigned Contracts or any of the Necessary Permits without Buyer’s prior written consent, other
than (i) in the Ordinary Course of Business and provided such change does not cause any of the
Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits to have materially more onerous terms or conditions to
37
4914-3412-4175.2
Buyer, (ii) as may be required in connection with transferring Seller’s rights or obligations
thereunder to Buyer in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
provided such change does not cause any of the Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits to have
materially more onerous terms or conditions to Buyer, (iii) as may be required in connection with
Seller and Buyer obtaining the Required Third Party Consents, provided such change does not
cause any of the Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits to have materially more onerous terms
or conditions to Buyer, or (iv) following notice to Buyer, as may be required by a Governmental
Body, provided such change does not cause any of the Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits
to have materially more onerous terms or conditions to Buyer;
(c) Additional Title Encumbrances and Title Imperfections. Grant or create any
lien, easement, encumbrance or title imperfection on any of the Acquired Assets, without the prior
written consent of Buyer, other than (i) in the Ordinary Course of Business to the extent consistent
with Prudent Utility Practices, provided such lien, easement, encumbrance or title imperfection
does not impose materially more onerous terms or conditions on Buyer’s use of the Acquired
Assets, (ii) those liens, easements, encumbrances or title imperfections that, if in existence prior
to the Effective Date, would have been Permitted Encumbrances, (iii) as may be required in
connection with separating the Excluded Assets from the Acquired Assets, provided such lien,
easement, encumbrance or title imperfection does not impose materially more onerous terms or
conditions on Buyer’s use of the Acquired Assets (for the avoidance of doubt, use of any standard
agreement or arrangement of Seller (e.g., a pole attachment agreement or arrangement), on
substantially the same basis available to qualified Third Parties, shall not be deemed to impose
materially more onerous terms or conditions on Buyer’s use of the Acquired Assets), (iv) as may
be required in connection with transferring Seller’s rights or obligations with respect to the
Acquired Assets to Buyer in connection with the Transactions, provided such lien, easement,
encumbrance or title imperfection does not impose materially more onerous terms or conditions
on Buyer’s use of the Acquired Assets, or (v) as may be required in connection with Seller and
Buyer obtaining the Required Third Party Consents, provided such lien, easement, encumbrance
or title imperfection does not impose materially more onerous terms or conditions on Buyer’s use
of the Acquired Assets;
(d) Ordinary Course. Conduct the Business other than in the Ordinary Course
of Business, in accordance with its past practices;
(e) Maintenance of Acquired Assets. Fail to maintain the Acquired Assets in a

38
4914-3412-4175.2
(i) Tax Liens. Allow or cause a Tax lien to arise with respect to the Acquired
Assets or the Business, except Tax liens that are Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 6.06 Capital Expenditures Prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein during the Pre-Closing Period:
(a) Seller may make (and undertake any work contemplated by) Capital
Expenditures described on Schedule 6.06 (collectively, “Pre-Approved Capital Expenditures”) in
accordance with the relevant timelines (if any) set forth on Schedule 6.06.
(b) For all other Capital Expenditures to be made during the Pre-Closing Period
that are not Pre-Approved Capital Expenditures, Seller may make (and undertake any work
contemplated by) commercially reasonable Capital Expenditures in the Ordinary Course of
Business as determined by Seller in its discretion based on Prudent Utility Practices, provided that
(i) Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any estimated or scheduled Capital Expenditure of
$250,000.00 or more individually, or $1,000,000.00 in the aggregate over a consecutive six-month
period and (ii) Buyer shall, within ten Business Days of its receipt of such notice by Seller, respond
to Seller in writing as to whether such Capital Expenditure is, in whole or in part, approved or
disapproved, in each case as determined in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) (each such response by Buyer
to Seller, a “Capital Expenditure Determination”). In the event of Buyer’s disapproval of any
estimated or scheduled Capital Expenditure by Seller under clause (i) above, the applicable Capital
Expenditure Determination shall include a reasonably detailed statement setting forth Buyer’s
reasons for such disapproval and the portion of such Capital Expenditure of which Buyer
disapproves. To the extent Seller actually makes any Capital Expenditure which Buyer has
previously disapproved in a duly delivered Capital Expenditure Determination, such Capital
Expenditure shall be deemed a “Disapproved Capital Expenditure;” provided, that, only amounts
actually incurred by Seller in connection therewith shall be counted as a Disapproved Capital
Expenditure.
Section 6.07 No Solicitation of Other Bids; Non-Disparagement.
(a) Until the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the Closing, Seller will
not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, agent, or otherwise, solicit or initiate,
directly or indirectly, or encourage submission of inquiries, proposals, or offers from any potential
buyer directly and specifically relating to the disposition of the Acquired Assets or the Business.
The foregoing will not prohibit or be deemed to prohibit any action by or of Seller or any of its
Affiliates in connection with any potential transaction that principally concerns any businesses,
assets or securities of Seller or any of its Affiliates of which the Business or the Acquired Assets
are a part.
(b) Buyer will not, and will cause its Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents not to, make or publish any statement, whether oral or written,
that disparages or is reasonably likely to disparage Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, or any electric utility or other similar utility service provider.
Nothing in this Section 6.07(b) prohibits truthful statements required by law, regulation, subpoena,
or court order, or good‑faith statements made in connection with enforcing this Agreement.
39
4914-3412-4175.2
Section 6.08 Casualty Loss.
(a) Casualty Estimate. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to
Closing, any of the Acquired Assets suffers a total or partial Casualty (an “Event of Loss”), Seller
will promptly inform Buyer of the Event of Loss. As soon as practicable following any such
Casualty, Seller will provide to Buyer a detailed written estimate (the “Casualty Estimate”) setting
forth the estimated amount required to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s) and the
estimated time period for completion of such repair or replacement.
(b) Seller’s Election. Concurrently with the delivery of a Casualty Estimate
indicating that an Event of Loss has occurred, Seller will notify Buyer in writing whether Seller
elects to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s). If Seller elects to repair or replace the
damaged Acquired Asset(s), Seller shall promptly commence and diligently proceed to complete
the repair or replacement of the damaged Acquired Asset(s) in a good and workmanlike manner
at Seller’s sole cost, provided that Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the full cost of any Casualty
Repair Expense pursuant to the Fixed System Asset Adjustment or Construction Work in Progress
Adjustment, as applicable in Section 2.05, net of any insurance proceeds payable as a result of
such Event of Loss. If Seller elects to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s), such
damaged Acquired Asset(s) shall be restored in a manner substantially consistent with the
condition of the Acquired Asset immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Loss. Seller
shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such Event of Loss. If Seller elects
not to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s), then if the Casualty Estimate for such
Event of Loss in combination with the aggregate amount of Casualty Estimates for prior Events of
Loss that Seller has elected to not repair or replace exceeds two percent (2.0%) of the Base
Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount to limit the increase in the
Estimated Purchase Price and final Purchase Price due to Events of Loss to two percent (2.0%) of
the Base Purchase Price, in which case Seller will have no obligation to repair or replace the
damaged Purchased Asset as a result of such Events of Loss; provided that if the Casualty Estimate
for an Event of Loss in combination with the aggregate amount of Casualty Estimates for prior
Events of Loss, whether or not Seller has elected to repair or replace, exceeds five percent (5.0%)
of the Base Purchase Price (the “Casualty Loss Threshold”), in such case, Buyer and Seller shall
each have the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02(h).
Section 6.09 Disclosure Schedule Updates.
(a) On a periodic basis during the Pre-Closing Period, Seller may supplement
or amend its Sections of the Disclosure Schedule and deliver such supplemented or amended
Sections to Buyer, including with respect to any Effect.
(b) If any Effect to which such supplement or amendment relates results in
Buyer having a right to terminate this Agreement under Article 10 and the Closing occurs, or the
fact, occurrence, event, effect, change, circumstance or development to which such supplement or
amendment relates does not result in Buyer having a right to terminate this Agreement under
Article 10, then such supplement or amendment will be deemed to have amended the Disclosure
Schedule, to have modified the representations and warranties contained in Article 4, and to have
cured any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed
hereunder because of the Effect (and Seller will not have any liability to Buyer with respect to
40
4914-3412-4175.2
such amended or supplemented Disclosure Schedule on the basis of any misrepresentation,
inaccuracy or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder because of the
Effect).
(c) Between the Effective Date and May 31, 2026, and solely to the extent the
Closing has not occurred within such period, Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
provide Buyer with the unaudited financial information for the fiscal 2025 period using the same
form as set forth on Section 4.18 of the Disclosure Schedule and prepared consistently with past
practices; provided, that, if such unaudited financial information is not available for distribution
on or before May 31, 2026, Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such
financial information as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
Section 6.10 Title Commitment; Property Inspection.
(a) The Title Company has delivered to Buyer and Seller a current commitment
for standard coverage title insurance (which shall be updated as needed to reflect the amount of
the Purchase Price allocated under Section 2.05(b) for each parcel of Tier One Real Property) and
legible copies of all documents referred to therein as exceptions to coverage, committing to insure,
upon satisfaction of all requirements provided therein, the fee, leasehold or easement estate in the
Tier One Real Property to be conveyed by Seller to Buyer at Closing (collectively, the
“Commitment”). At Closing and in connection with the Commitment, the Title Company shall
issue Title Policies to Buyer in the form selected by Buyer; the premiums allocated to the standard
form of such Title Policies shall be paid by Seller, with the premiums allocated to any extended
form or endorsement coverage paid by Buyer. On or before Closing, Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to satisfy or remove those requirements contained in the Commitment to the
extent related to Seller, including, without limitation, those relating to good standing, subsistence
or authority of Seller. Within 30 days after (i) Buyer’s receipt of each Commitment or (ii) the
Effective Date, whichever is later, Buyer shall give specific written notice (the “Title Review
Letter”) to Seller and the Title Company of any matters affecting title to the Tier One Real Property
and disclosed in the Commitment which are disapproved by Buyer. The failure of Buyer to deliver
a Title Review Letter within the aforesaid period shall constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition
of title of the Tier One Real Property as shown in the Commitment, subject to the exceptions shown
thereon, excepting any (1) unpaid mortgages, judgments and monetary liens, recorded against the
Tier One Real Property, (2) any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens against the Tier One Real
Property (unless and to the extent of work done by or on behalf of Buyer), and (3) any taxes, sewer
and water charges, and assessments then due and payable or tax liens against the Tier One Real
Property (each, a “Liquidated Lien”; collectively, the “Liquidated Liens”), which Liquidated Liens
Seller shall satisfy at or prior to Closing. Buyer shall not be required to affirmatively object to
Liquidated Liens. If Buyer disapproves of any matter shown in the Commitment (“Title
Objections”) by delivering a timely Title Review Letter to Seller, then, within 15 Business Days
of receipt of Buyer’s Title Review Letter (the “Title Response Date”), Seller shall notify Buyer, in
writing, of any Title Objections which it either refuses to cure or is unable to cure in a manner
acceptable to Buyer. In the event Seller notifies Buyer on or before the Title Response Date of its
election not to satisfy or correct any or all of the Title Objections of which it is notified (or is
deemed to have elected not to satisfy or correct any or all of the Title Objections of which it is
notified) other than Liquidated Liens, Buyer shall, by notice to Seller on or before five Business
Days after the Title Response Date, elect one of the following: (a) waive such Title Objection(s)
41
4914-3412-4175.2
for all purposes under this Agreement, including the satisfaction or waiver of any applicable
conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 9.02 and with respect to claims for any Losses that
may otherwise be made pursuant to Section 8.01 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; or (b)
if the uncured title matter results in the failure to be satisfied of the condition to the Closing set
forth in Section 9.02(c), Buyer may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.02(g),
subject to Seller’s notice and cure rights provided for herein. At any time following Buyer’s
submission of the Title Review Letter, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain updated versions of the
Commitment (“Updated Title Documents”). To the extent that the Commitment shows new items
that were not previously disclosed in the Commitment issued to Buyer (“New Title Objections”),
then Buyer shall have the right to issue a new Title Review Letter raising the New Title Objections
within ten Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of the Updated Title Documents and Buyer shall have
the same rights with respect thereto as described above. The failure of Buyer to deliver any written
notice of disapproval of any New Title Objections within the aforesaid ten Business Days of
Buyer’s receipt of the Updated Title Documents shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of
the New Title Objections excluding any Liquidated Liens which shall be paid or satisfied by Seller
at Closing.
(b) Between the Effective Date and Closing, Seller agrees that Buyer, its
representatives and consultants shall have a continuing license to enter upon the Real Property to
inspect and perform engineering, environmental and any other feasibility studies as Buyer
determines in its sole discretion. Prior to entering on the Real Property, Buyer shall furnish to
Seller a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured for liability purposes in the
amount $1,000,000.00. Buyer shall provide Seller reasonable advance notice of the date and time
of Buyer’s planned inspections upon the Real Property and Seller shall have the right to be present
at any of Buyer’s inspections upon the Real Property and to require changes to the timing of
planned inspections if such proposed dates and times would be unreasonably disruptive to
operations of Seller, as determined by Seller in good faith. If Buyer disturbs the Real Property,
Buyer shall return the Real Property to substantially the same condition prior to the disturbance.
Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any and all claims of bodily injury or damage to property
(including the Real Property itself) arising out of Buyer’s inspections of the Real Property. Buyer
shall also indemnify Seller for liens which are filed against the Real Property by persons or entities
employed or contracted by Buyer to perform inspections or undertake any work whatsoever on or
behalf of Buyer on the Real Property.
ARTICLE 7
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
Section 7.01 General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is
reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each Party will take such further
action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the
other Party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.
Section 7.02 Tax Matters.
(a) At or after the Closing, all property Taxes and excise Taxes imposed in lieu
of property Taxes pertaining to the Acquired Assets will be prorated on the basis of the number of
42
4914-3412-4175.2
days of the relevant Tax year or period which have elapsed prior to the Closing Date, determined
without reference to any change of ownership occasioned by the consummation of the
Transactions. Seller will be responsible for that portion of such amounts relating to the period prior
to the Closing Date, and Buyer will be responsible for that portion of such amounts relating to the
period on or after the Closing Date.
(b) Seller and Buyer will cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested
by the other in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any Proceeding with
respect to Taxes relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business. Such cooperation will include the
provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any Tax Return or Tax Proceeding
and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information
and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no case will Seller be obligated to provide
any Tax Return (or any portion thereof) or any other books, records and work papers related thereto
of any “affiliated group” of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code (or any
similar affiliated, combined, consolidated, or unitary group or arrangement for group relief for
state, local, or foreign Tax purposes) that includes Seller or any of its Affiliates to Buyer.
(c) Within 120 days following the Closing, Buyer will prepare and deliver to
Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price plus other relevant items (including the Assumed
Liabilities) (the “Tax Consideration”) among the Acquired Assets for all Tax purposes, with such
allocation to be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation Schedule”). Buyer
and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in good faith any differences
with respect to the Allocation Schedule. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any such
differences within 30 days following Buyer’s delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller, then
Buyer and Seller may, for any Tax purpose, take inconsistent positions with respect to the
allocation of the Tax Consideration among the Acquired Assets (including any undisputed element
thereof), including for purposes of any applicable Tax Returns. If Seller does not object to the
Allocation Schedule prepared by Buyer, or Buyer and Seller are able to resolve any differences
within the 30-day period described above, the Parties agree to (i) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, each of their respective Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation
Schedule (or the Allocation Schedule as agreed to by Buyer and Seller), and (ii) unless otherwise
required by Law, take no position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule (or the Allocation
Schedule as agreed to by Buyer and Seller) on any applicable Tax Return (including IRS Form
8594), in any Proceeding before any Governmental Body, or in any report made for Tax, financial
accounting, or any other purpose.
(d) Any and all transfer, documentary, value added, sales, use, stamp,
registration or other similar Taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar
fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) arising from the Transactions (collectively,
the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer and shall be remitted by Buyer when due; provided,
however, that solely with respect to any real estate Transfer Taxes, each of Buyer and Seller shall
be responsible for fifty-percent (50%) of any such real estate Transfer Taxes. The party required
by applicable Law shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Transfer
Taxes (and the other party shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).
43
4914-3412-4175.2
(e) If, pursuant to Section 3.02(b)(i), Seller delivers an IRS Form W-9 at or
prior to the Closing, all amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or
any other Transaction Agreement to Seller shall be paid in full, without any deduction or
withholding.
Section 7.03 Confidentiality.
(a) The Parties agree that the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement will
continue in full force and effect and will be applicable to all Confidential Information (as defined
in the Confidentiality Agreement) exchanged in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Transaction Agreements or any of the Transactions unless and until the Closing has occurred.
For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Review” in the Confidentiality Agreement shall
be deemed to refer to the “Discussion” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement, and the
“Discussion” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement shall include the Transactions.
(b) Prior to the Closing and following the Closing, except as may be required
by Law or any Order, Buyer will keep confidential, use solely in connection with the Transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and not disclose to any Person all Confidential Information of
Seller concerning the Business and the Acquired Assets that was Known by, acquired by, or
disclosed to Buyer prior to the Closing, by using the same degree of care that was used to protect
the same information before the date of this Agreement, except that the foregoing obligation will
not apply to any information which (i) was, is now, or becomes generally available to the public
or the industry (other than by a breach of this Section 7.03), (ii) was disclosed to Buyer by a Third
Party not Known by Buyer to be subject to any duty of confidentiality with respect to such
information, (iii) was or is now used by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s other businesses, or (iv)
is independently developed following the Closing by or for Buyer or its employees without the use
of or reference to any Confidential Information.
Section 7.04 Records and Access. Each Party will retain for a reasonable period after the
Closing Date (and in any event for at least five years) the books, records (including, subject to
Section 7.02(b), Tax records), Contracts and documents of or pertaining to the Business, and,
subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations, will provide the other Party and its
representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) reasonable access thereto, during normal
business hours and on prior notice, for reasonable business purposes.
Section 7.05 Certain Payments or Instruments Received from Third Parties. To the extent
that, after the Closing, (a) Buyer receives any payment or instrument that is for the account of
Seller according to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer will promptly deliver such amount or
instrument to Seller, and (b) Seller receives any payment that is for the account of Buyer according
to the terms of this Agreement, Seller will promptly deliver such amount or instrument to Buyer,
as applicable. All amounts due and payable under this Section 7.05 will be due and payable by the
applicable Party in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account designated in
writing by the receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party hereby undertakes to
use commercially reasonable efforts to direct or forward all bills, invoices or like instruments to
the appropriate Party.
Section 7.06 Independent Investigation; Forward-Looking Statements.
44
4914-3412-4175.2
(a) Buyer acknowledges and covenants and agrees that: (i) it and its
representatives and Affiliates have undertaken their own independent investigation, examination,
and analysis of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business; (ii) it has
undertaken its own estimate of the value of the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed
Liabilities; (iii) it has had the opportunity to meet, virtually or otherwise, with Seller and its
representatives to discuss the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, including
the customers, suppliers, employees and other personnel, condition (financial and otherwise), cash
flow and operations of Seller with respect to the Business and prospects of the Business; and (iv)
it has undertaken such due diligence as Buyer deems adequate, including that described above.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any documents that are or were available for its review in
connection with its investigation will be deemed to have been made available to, and received by,
Buyer for all purposes if such documents were posted and made available to Buyer in the Data
Room on or before the Effective Date.
(b) In connection with its investigation described in Section 7.06(a), Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that Buyer and its representatives and Affiliates have received from or
on behalf Seller and its Affiliates certain estimates, budgets, forecasts, plans, capital improvement
plans and financial projections (“Forward-Looking Statements”), and Buyer acknowledges that (i)
there are uncertainties inherent in making Forward-Looking Statements and (ii) it is not relying
upon, and is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy
of, all Forward-Looking Statements so furnished to it and its representatives (including the
reasonableness of the assumptions underlying any Forward-Looking Statements where such
assumptions are explicitly disclosed). Neither Seller nor any other Person is making any
representation or warranty with respect to, or will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer, or
any other Person resulting from, the distribution to Buyer, or its use of or reliance on, any Forward-
Looking Statements.
Section 7.07 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any
claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be
brought against the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement. Except to the
extent named as a party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations
of such parties set forth in this Agreement, no past, present or future equityholder, shareholder,
member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, contractor, consultant, agent or
representative of any Party will have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise)
for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities
of any of the Parties or for any claim based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, no claim will be brought or maintained by Buyer or any other
Buyer Indemnified Party or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns against any
past, present or future equityholder, shareholder, stockholder, member, partner, manager, director,
officer, employee, Affiliate, contractor, consultant, agent or representative of Seller that is not
otherwise expressly identified as party to this Agreement, and no recourse will be brought or
granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or
inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of any Party set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto
or any certificate delivered hereunder.
45
4914-3412-4175.2
Section 7.08 Publicity. Except as otherwise required by Law (including any applicable
securities exchange rules), neither Party will, and will not permit any of its Affiliates,
representatives or advisors to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or make any other
public announcement, including any state or federal regulatory filing or any tombstone
advertisements, with respect to the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Nothing herein shall operate to prevent a Party from
supplying such information or making statements in order for a Party to satisfy its legal obligations
(prompt prior notice of which shall in any such case be given to the other Party)
Section 7.09 Bulk Sales. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any
bulk sales (including any tax clearance, bulk sale or successorship notice, or similar requirement),
bulk transfer, or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to
the sale of any or all of the Acquired Assets to Buyer. Buyer will be responsible for all Losses
arising out of the Parties’ waiver of such compliance.
Section 7.10 Transition Matters.
(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, in furtherance of the Transactions, the
Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith and use commercially
reasonable efforts to develop and begin implementing a mutually acceptable transition plan for the
migration and integration of the Business into the business of Buyer after giving effect to the
consummation of the Transactions and pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, subject to
compliance with applicable Law (the “Transition Plan”). The Transition Plan shall address the
matters mutually agreed to by the Parties. Such cooperation shall include each Party using
commercially reasonable efforts to take the following actions:
(i) promptly after the date of this Agreement, appointing a transition
manager whose primary responsibility would be to plan and execute such transition and manage
such Party’s transition team;
(ii) promptly after the date of this Agreement, reviewing the technology,
business operations and administration capabilities to be so transitioned or migrated, taking into
account any issues of separation arising from the Transition Plan;
(iii) establishing transition teams;
(iv) setting regular meetings of such transition teams during the Pre-
Closing Period; and
(v) making available appropriate knowledgeable business, operations,
administration and technology personnel and any other personnel reasonably needed for such
transition and migration planning; provided that all such activities shall be in compliance with
applicable Law.
(b) During the Pre-Closing Period, upon the written request of any Party, each
Party shall (i) through their respective transition teams, cooperate in good faith with the other Party
and use commercially reasonable efforts to review the schedules to the Transition Services
Agreement and (ii) negotiate in good faith any amendment, update or supplement to the schedules
46
4914-3412-4175.2
to the Transition Services Agreement that is proposed in writing by the other Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party’s obligation to effect the Closing shall be subject to any
such amendment, supplement or update being agreed to or entered into prior to or at the Closing.
(c) Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with Seller and use commercially
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist
and cooperate with Seller in doing, all things necessary to facilitate the provision of services under
the Transition Services Agreement. The Transition Services Agreement shall not be in effect for a
period greater than thirty-six months immediately following the Closing. The fees for services
provided under the Transition Services Agreement shall reflect the actual costs of Seller, including
overheads and benefits loading, consistent with Seller’s past practice, with respect to services
provided under the Transition Services Agreement without markup or profit margin.
(d) During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller may, but shall not be required to,
remove or redact from the Acquired Assets any confidential or proprietary data or information
(including, but not limited to, equipment configurations) not required to be delivered to Buyer
pursuant to Section 7.14; provided that if the removal of any data or information from any
equipment or system would materially impair the intended functionality of such equipment or
system as manufactured, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer prior to removal and cooperate with
Buyer in a commercially reasonable manner to: (i) identify impacted functionality, (ii) provide
reasonable information about required specifications relevant to maintaining such intended
functionality (without disclosing Seller’s confidential or proprietary data or information), and (iii)
maintain or restore such functionality as fully as reasonably possible.
Section 7.11 Transaction Impact Mitigation.
(a) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to minimize
negative impacts of the Transactions on affected System customers, including customer rate
impacts and the continuation, termination or modification of customer demand-side management,
energy efficiency, facilities charges, net metering, bill discount, low income weatherization,
community solar and other comparable programs, in each case to the extent within such Party’s
respective control and subject to applicable Law, including the terms and conditions of any
regulatory approvals, orders, authorizations, consents or other rulings of any Governmental Body
(including any state public utility commission) issued in connection with or otherwise pertaining
to the Transactions (collectively, the “Applicable Regulatory Orders”).
(b) Following the Closing, and to the extent required or permitted by, and
subject to, the Applicable Regulatory Orders, affected System customers shall convert to Buyer’s
rate methodology, including the cost allocation, rate design, and related ratemaking frameworks
set forth or contemplated therein.
(c) Except to the extent otherwise provided in any of the other Transaction
Agreements, to the extent any new metering, metering upgrades, or metering reconfiguration is
necessary to separate, for billing purposes, Idaho and Oregon customers as a result of the
Transactions or the implementation of the Applicable Regulatory Orders, the Party that bills and
collects the revenue resulting from the metered data (the “Billing Party”) shall be responsible for
all reasonable and documented costs of procuring, installing and commissioning such metering
47
4914-3412-4175.2
and any related systems and equipment required to enable such billing. The non‑Billing Party shall
reasonably cooperate with the Billing Party, at the Billing Party’s expense, in effectuating such
metering separation in accordance with the applicable Transaction Agreements.
(d) Nothing in this Section 7.11 shall require either Party to (i) take or omit to
take any action that would violate applicable Law or the Applicable Regulatory Orders,
(ii) concede any material position in any regulatory Proceeding except as required by the
Applicable Regulatory Orders, or (iii) commit to any specific rate, program design or ratemaking
outcome not required by the Applicable Regulatory Orders. For the avoidance of doubt, the
obligations in this Section 7.11 are intended to be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent
with, and subject to, the Applicable Regulatory Orders, and nothing contained herein creates any
third-party beneficiary rights.
(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the construction of that certain 500-
kilovolt transmission line by Seller and certain third parties from Boardman, Oregon to
Hemingway Substation located in Owyhee County, Idaho (the “B2H Project”) is intended and
necessary to serve customers in Oregon and anticipated to benefit the Business and the System.
(f) The Parties agree that if the balances of either or both of accounts 254402
and 254404 identified in Schedule 1.01(e) are greater than zero, Buyer shall credit all amounts in
such accounts to the applicable customers on a pro rata basis and the amounts contained in such
accounts shall not be retained by Buyer.
(g) Buyer hereby agrees that if Seller is not reasonably able to obtain consent
to assign its existing interconnection agreements with the owners of the projects identified in
Schedule 7.11(g) (the “PURPA Projects”) to Buyer, Buyer shall negotiate in good faith with the
owners of the PURPA Projects and use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into new
interconnection agreements (the “New GIAs”) with each of the PURPA Projects no later than the
Closing Date, each on substantially similar terms as the existing interconnection agreement that
each such PURPA Project has with Seller, and Buyer shall maintain its interconnection with each
PURPA Project in accordance with its corresponding New GIA for so long as Seller has a power
purchase agreement in effect with such PURPA Project. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in
writing of the termination of any power purchase agreement with any PURPA Project.
(h) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to,
promptly pay or deliver to Buyer (or its designated Affiliate) any monies, payments or checks that
have been received by Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing from customers, suppliers or
other business relations of the System to the extent that they are related to the System and are in
respect of an Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability hereunder. Buyer shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Seller (or its designated Affiliate) any monies, payments
or checks that have been received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the Closing (i) from
customers, suppliers, or other business relations of Seller to the extent that they are not related to
the System or (ii) from customers, members, suppliers, or other business relations of Seller or
Buyer to the extent that they are in respect of an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability hereunder.
The Parties agree to treat the ultimate recipient of any such monies, payments or checks as having
received the payment ab initio for all applicable tax purposes.

4914-3412-4175.2
Section 7.12 Prorations.
(a) With respect to each Owned Real Property, all normal and customarily
proratable items, including operating expenses, utilities, and assessments and other operating
expenses and fees, with respect to each Owned Real Property shall be prorated as of the
Measurement Time, with Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of the same
attributable to the period up to the Measurement Time (and credited for any amounts paid in
connection with the Business and attributable to the period on or after the Measurement Time, if
assumed by Buyer) and Buyer being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be,
for all of the same attributable to the period on and after the Measurement Time. For clarity, the
proration of personal property Taxes and real estate Taxes is addressed in Section 7.02(a).
(b) With respect to each Owned Real Property, the final readings and final
billings for utilities will be made by Seller as of the business day immediately preceding the
Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills with respect to its Owned Real Property
as of such date. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the Parties’ good faith and
reasonable estimate.
Section 7.13 Environmental Investigations and Reporting. Unless expressly required by
any Environmental Law or any Environmental License (in which case, Buyer shall notify Seller in
advance of any report or notification to any Governmental Body so as to permit Seller to have a
reasonable opportunity to examine and provide commentary on related records and evidence), or
with the prior written permission of Seller, Buyer shall not conduct any environmental
investigations on the Real Property or report or notify any applicable Governmental Body of the
discovery of any releases of Hazardous Substances at, on or under the Real Property prior to the
Closing Date and for two years following the Closing Date, whether discovered prior to or after
the Closing Date. This Section 7.13 shall survive the Closing Date for four years after Closing.
Section 7.14 Delivery of Business Records and Related Materials. Seller shall, to the
extent in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s possession, custody or control and subject to applicable Law
and contractual confidentiality obligations (with permissible redactions of competitively sensitive,
personal identifying or privileged information, which redactions shall be narrowly tailored and not
materially diminish the usefulness of the information), deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer
copies of the following items, in each case solely to the extent such items primarily relate to the
Business and in a format reasonably accessible by Buyer: (a) customer lists, data from operating
systems and information databases (including customer load data), books and records, meter
reading and service data, and operating and maintenance records; (b) environmental reports
relating to the Real Property; and (c) warranty information and engineering design plans, GIS
mapping data, blueprints and as-built plans and specifications and procedures. Such deliveries
shall be made on the Closing Date, and may be provided in electronic form (including native data
files) or hard copy; provided that Seller shall not be required to create or generate new information,
analyses or reports that do not already exist in the ordinary course. For clarity, Seller’s obligations
under this Section 7.14 do not extend to records that (i) do not primarily relate to the Business, (ii)
relate primarily to Excluded Assets (including any supporting work papers relating to Taxes
constituting Excluded Assets), or (iii) constitute information that is attorney-client privileged or
attorney work product (and no privilege shall be waived by any such delivery). The Parties shall
49
4914-3412-4175.2
cooperate in good faith to obtain any required third-party consents for the transfer of the foregoing
items, as applicable.
Section 7.15 Transitional Use of Seller Intellectual Property.
(a) Seller hereby grants Buyer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
royalty-free license to use Seller’s trademarks, trade names, logos, brand identifiers, copyrights,
and other intellectual property (collectively, the “Seller Intellectual Property”) for a period of three
months following the Closing (the “Transition Period”) solely as necessary to operate the Business
in the ordinary course and to facilitate the removal of the Seller Intellectual Property from the
Business and the Acquired Assets. Buyer shall not alter the appearance of the Seller Intellectual
Property or deviate from the manner in which the Seller Intellectual Property was used
immediately prior to the Closing. All goodwill arising from Buyer’s use of the Seller Intellectual
Property during the Transition Period inures to Seller.
(b) Buyer shall, during the Transition Period, use commercially reasonable efforts
to rebrand, remove, or replace the Seller Intellectual Property from the Business’s products,
services, materials, websites, packaging, domain names, and other customer-facing assets, and
shall cease all use of the Seller Intellectual Property no later than the end of the Transition Period.
Buyer shall not: (i) use the Seller Intellectual Property in a manner that suggests ongoing affiliation
with Seller during or after the Transition Period; (ii) register, apply to register, or maintain any
domain name, social media handle, or corporate name incorporating the Seller Intellectual
Property; or (iii) challenge or assist any Third Party in challenging Seller’s rights in the Seller
Intellectual Property. Upon expiration of the Transition Period, Buyer shall promptly discontinue
all use of the Seller Intellectual Property and, at Seller’s request, certify in writing its compliance
with this paragraph.
(c) Nothing in this provision conveys to Buyer any ownership or other rights in
or to the Seller Intellectual Property beyond the limited license expressly set forth herein, and
Seller reserves all rights not expressly granted. Seller may terminate the foregoing license upon
written notice to Buyer in the event of Buyer’s material breach of this provision that remains
uncured for ten days after written notice thereof.
ARTICLE 8
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.01 Indemnification of Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
8, Seller will indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
and equityholders (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses
proximately caused by the following:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this
Agreement (other than any Seller Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation);
(b) any breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation;
(c) any breach of any Tax Representation;
50
4914-3412-4175.2
(d) any breach by Seller of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by
Seller in this Agreement; or
(e) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability.
Section 8.02 Indemnification of Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
8, Buyer will indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
and equityholders (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses
proximately caused by the following:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this
Agreement (other than any Buyer Fundamental Representation);
(b) any breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation;
(c) any breach by Buyer of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by
Buyer in this Agreement; or
(d) any Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability.
Section 8.03 Claim Procedure. In the event that any Indemnified Party desires to seek
indemnification under this Article 8, including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section
8.04, the Indemnified Party will give reasonably prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party,
specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, or
a good faith estimate of the amount of Losses asserted with respect to such claim and the method
of computation of such Losses (each such notice, a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the
failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim for
indemnification, it will notify the Indemnified Party within 45 days after its receipt of the
applicable Claim Notice, whereupon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will meet
and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to such claim for indemnification.
If the dispute has not been resolved within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party of its dispute under this Section 8.03, then the Indemnified Party may initiate
litigation in accordance with Section 11.08. The Indemnified Party will have the burden of proof
in establishing its right to indemnification and the amount of Losses suffered by such Person. Any
amounts payable under this Article 8 will be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price.
Section 8.04 Third Party Claims.
(a) Without limiting Section 8.03, in the event that any Indemnified Party
desires to make a claim against any Indemnifying Party in connection with any Proceeding of a
Third Party at any time instituted against or made upon such Indemnified Party for which such
Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”),
such Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim,
including by delivering a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto; provided,
however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party
51
4914-3412-4175.2
pursuant to this Section 8.04 and Section 8.03 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by
such failure.
(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense and
control of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice by providing written notice to the
Indemnified Party within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of such Third
Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume or continue
control of the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent: (i) the Third Party Claim relates to
or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding against the Indemnified Party; or (ii) the Third
Party Claim only seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party;
provided, further, that, notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, in no case will any Indemnified
Party be allowed to control any Proceedings with respect to a Third Party Claim involving Taxes
that constitute a Excluded Liability.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim
pursuant to Section 8.04(b), the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that no such consent
will be required if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages (including any expenses and
fees), (ii) the settlement does not entail any admission of liability on the part of the Indemnified
Party, and (iii) the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all
liability with respect to such Third Party Claim.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim
pursuant to Section 8.04(b), then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense
of such claim at its own expense.
(e) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party
Claim after receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to
Section 8.04(b), then the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim in such manner as it
deems reasonably appropriate and is consistent with the provisions hereof. The Indemnified Party
may not settle such claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(f) The Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith and in all respects with
the Indemnifying Party and its representatives (including its counsel) in the investigation,
negotiation, settlement, trial or defense of any Third Party Claim (and any appeal arising
therefrom), including by making records and personnel reasonably available to the Indemnifying
Party. The Parties will cooperate with each other in any notifications to and information requests
of any insurers.
Section 8.05 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) The respective Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover or assert
any claim pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.02(a) unless and until such Indemnified Parties
have incurred aggregate Losses for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification
52
4914-3412-4175.2
pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.02(a), as applicable, in an aggregate amount in excess of
three percent (3.00%) of the Purchase Price (the “Deductible Amount”) and then only to the extent
that such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Deductible Amount. The respective Indemnified
Parties will not be entitled to recover or assert any claim for recovery in excess of ten percent
(10.00%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”). The limitations on indemnification set forth in this
Section 8.05(a) will not apply to any claim made by: (i) in the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party,
pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d) or Section 8.01(e) or claims of Fraud
committed by Seller, or (ii) in the case of a Seller Indemnified Party, pursuant to Section 8.02(b),
Section 8.02(c), Section 8.02(d) or claims of Fraud committed by Buyer.
(b) The respective Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover or assert
any claim for an amount of Losses pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d),
Section 8.02(b) or Section 8.02(c), if, when aggregated with any amounts previously paid or to be
paid by the applicable Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 8, is in excess of the Purchase
Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the foregoing limitations on
indemnification set forth in this Section 8.05(b) will not apply to any claim made: (i) in the case
of a Buyer Indemnified Party, pursuant to Section 8.01(e) or claims of Fraud committed by Seller
or (ii) in the case of a Seller Indemnified Party, pursuant to Section 8.02(d) or claims of Fraud
committed by Buyer.
(c) The amount of any recovery by any Indemnified Party under Section 8.01
or Section 8.02, as applicable, will be reduced by the amounts recovered or recoverable by the
Indemnified Parties under any applicable insurance policies, contractual rights, including any
rights to indemnification, or other collateral sources as a result of the facts that entitled the
Indemnified Parties to recover from the Indemnifying Parties under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02,
as applicable. Each Indemnified Party agrees to make and diligently pursue all claims and to collect
any amounts recoverable under applicable insurance policies (other than self-insurance policies),
indemnification agreements, Contracts and similar rights and to seek recovery under all applicable
insurance policies, indemnification agreements, Contracts and similar rights for all Losses to the
extent such Losses are covered by such insurance policy, indemnification agreement, Contract or
similar right of such Indemnified Party. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made
by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which any Indemnified Party has been
indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery will be made
promptly to the applicable Indemnifying Party.
(d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY,
THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM FOR
INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 8 WITH RESPECT TO OR RECOVER, NOR
WILL THE INDEMNIFIABLE LOSSES HEREUNDER INCLUDE OR BE DEEMED TO
INCLUDE, (i) CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (REGARDLESS OF THE
CHARACTERIZATION THEREOF OR WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE), DAMAGES
CONSISTING OF BUSINESS INTERRUPTION LOSSES OR LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION
IN VALUE, DAMAGES COMPUTED ON A MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, BOOK VALUE,
DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW OR ANY SIMILAR BASIS, WHETHER OR NOT USED IN
ARRIVING AT THE PURCHASE PRICE, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR (ii) DAMAGES BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, WITH
RESPECT TO OR BY REASON OF THE BREACH OR NON-PERFORMANCE BY ANY
53
4914-3412-4175.2
INDEMNIFIED PARTY OF ANY OF THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
COVENANTS, OBLIGATIONS, OR AGREEMENTS TO BE PERFORMED BY SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(e) In no event will any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification for the
same Losses from more than one source. The Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover
any Losses relating to any matter arising under, or any facts and circumstances relating to or arising
out of, a provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Parties have already
recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement. If
a state of facts exists that would allow an Indemnified Party to seek recovery under both Section
8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(c), on the one hand, and Section 8.01(d), on the other
hand, then such Indemnified Party only may seek recovery for Losses under Section 8.01(a),
Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(c), as applicable.
(f) Each Indemnified Party will use, and will cause all other Indemnified
Parties to use, commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming
aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses, including by
(i) making and diligently pursuing all claims under and collecting all amounts recoverable under
any applicable insurance policies (other than self-insurance policies), indemnification agreements,
Contracts and other similar rights for all Losses to the extent such Losses are covered by such
insurance policy, indemnification agreement, Contract or similar right of such Indemnified Party,
(ii) incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy any breach or remediate any
other situation, and (iii) refraining from taking any action that might give rise to, or otherwise
encouraging or soliciting, any Third Party Claim.
Section 8.06 Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly provided in Section 11.12 and
except in the case of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification set forth
in this Article 8 will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, on the one
hand, and the Seller Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, for any Losses sustained or incurred
by such Persons or their successors and assigns in connection with this Agreement, the Bill of Sale,
the Real Property Deeds, the Real Property Affidavits, the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate or the
Buyer’s Officer’s Certificate, and each Party hereby waives, on behalf of such Party and the
Indemnified Parties affiliated with such Party and their respective successors and assigns all other
rights and remedies it may have hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise.
Section 8.07 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The
representations and warranties in this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations and
the Special Representations) will survive the Closing for a period of 12 months after the Closing
Date. The Fundamental Representations will survive the Closing indefinitely after the Closing
Date. The Special Representations will survive the Closing as follows: (a) Environmental
Representations will survive the Closing for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date; (b) Tax
Representations will survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to audits
for matters described therein; and (c) Financial Representations will survive until later of (i) 12
months after the Closing Date or (ii) the expiration of Seller’s first full audit cycle that concludes
after the Closing Date, provided, that, in no event shall the Financial Representations survive past
the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. The covenants, obligations and agreements of
the Parties will survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms or, if no such term is
54
4914-3412-4175.2
provided, for a period of 36 months after the Closing. After the end of the applicable survival
period, no claim for breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or
agreements, or claim for indemnification with respect thereto, may be brought, unless the
Indemnified Party gave written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party before the expiration of
such applicable survival period, in which case the right of the Party providing such written notice
to assert its right to indemnification as to the matters so noticed will not expire until the dispute is
resolved under the terms of this Agreement.

terminated at any time before the Closing:
(a) by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;
(b) by either Buyer or Seller by prompt written notice if the Closing has not

warranties of Seller set forth in Article 4 are not accurate, or if Seller has failed to perform any
covenant or agreement on the part of Seller, as applicable, set forth in this Agreement (including
an obligation to consummate the Transactions at the Closing), such that the conditions to the

of the Closing and the breach or breaches causing such representations or warranties not to be
accurate, or the failures to perform any covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured within
20 Business Days after written notice thereof is delivered to Seller, provided that Buyer is not then

57
4914-3412-4175.2

pursue any legal or equitable right or remedy against any other Party whose willful breach of a
material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein results in the termination of this
Agreement, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs,

rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of
61
4914-3412-4175.2
the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term
or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of the
Transaction Agreements or any other document contemplated by this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage
would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine;
and, therefore, the Parties will be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof and
thereof, without proof of actual damages (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), in addition to any other remedy
hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise.

hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of .PDF or other electronic transmission, will
be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and will be considered to have the
same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At
the request of any Party, the other Party will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to
the other Party. No Party will raise the use of a .PDF or other electronic transmission to deliver a

such Party forever waives any such defense.

Schedule of Charges
APPLICABILITY
The charges described below are applicable to firm capacity and energy delivered to
OTEC at Points of Delivery in Exhibit 2. Defined terms in the main body of this Agreement
have the same meanings in this Exhibit 1.
MONTHLY CHARGE
The Monthly Charge shall be the sum of the: (1) Billing Energy multiplied by the Energy
Rate, and (2) the Customer Administration Charge.
(1) Energy Rate:
The Energy Rate will consist of a Generation Plant Cost Component and a
Variable Net Power Supply Expense Component. The initial Energy Rate is
$60.51 per MWh of Billing Energy, comprised of a Generation Plant Cost
Component of $26.87 per MWh and Variable Net Power Supply Cost
Component of $33.64 per MWh. These components are equivalent to those
included in Idaho Power’s applicable Oregon tariff rate schedules (1, 5, 7,
9, 15, 19, 24, 40, 41, 42, 55, and 56). The Variable Net Power Supply Cost
Component of the initial Energy Rate is subject to modification to reflect any
changes resulting from the Oregon rate adjustment effective June 1, 2026.
Each component of the charge will be modified as reflected below.
Generation Plant Cost Component:
The Generation Plant Cost Component shall remain fixed at $26.87 through
May 31, 2028. Effective June 1, 2028, the Generation Plant Cost
Component shall be updated to $30.19 for the remainder of the Initial term.
The Generation Plant Cost Component will be reevaluated and modified if
OTEC exercises the Delivery Term Extension to determine cost for the
Agreement term of the extension.
Variable Net Power Supply Cost Component:
Beginning June 1, 2027, the Variable Net Power Supply Cost Component
shall be updated annually, effective every June 1, consistent with the
determination of Idaho Power’s Schedule 55—Power Cost Adjustment. It
shall consist of a per-unit forecast rate of total system net power supply
costs developed from the simulation of the economic dispatch of Idaho
Power’s generation resources for the April through March test year, as well
as a balancing adjustment rate that reflects differences between forecasted
and actual per-unit variable power supply costs.
Ancillary Services Charge: Included in the Energy Rate above:
The Ancillary Services Charge is imbedded in the calculation of cost of
service in the Energy Rate and will not incur a separate rate under this
Agreement. The Energy Rate includes all applicable ancillary services
AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY OF POWER AND ENERGY - 17
AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY OF POWER AND ENERGY - 18
required for this transaction that are provided by Idaho Power on its system
pursuant to the Idaho Power Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).
Ancillary services and charges included in the Energy Rate are as follows:
OATT Schedule 2 – reactive supply and voltage control (as further specified
in Section 5.6 of this Agreement), OATT Schedule 3 - regulation and
frequency response service, OATT Schedules 4 and 4A - energy imbalance
service, OATT Schedule 5 - operating reserve (spinning reserve service),
OATT Schedule 6 - operating reserve (supplemental reserve service), and
OATT Schedule 12 – real power losses.
(2)Charges for Transmission and Distribution Services:
As described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3, OTEC will reimburse Idaho Power for
transmission and distribution charges incurred by Idaho Power for delivery
of the Energy under this Agreement.
(3)Customer Administration Charge:

per month. Customer Administration Charge will increase by three (3)
percent annually to be effective on January 1 of each year.
Final Reconciliation of Variable Power Supply Costs:
Within thirty (30) days following the termination of the Agreement, Idaho
Power will complete a final reconciliation of actual per-unit variable power
supply costs as compared to the forecast. The remaining difference will
AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY OF POWER AND ENERGY - 19
either be billed or refunded, and the Parties will settle the balance within
ninety (90) days after completion of the final reconciliation.

been removed from the Agreement such that IPC no longer receives Wheeling Service under this
Agreement, at which time this Agreement will terminate.
2.2 Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any

termination becomes effective. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, each Party shall
be responsible for any costs associated with the operation and maintenance of any facilities owned
by it.
2.3 Regulatory Framework. This Agreement is subject to and will be interpreted in accordance
with: (a) all applicable laws, rules and regulations of any Governmental Body or regulatory
authority having jurisdiction, including the FERC, NERC and WECC; and (b) OTEC’s applicable

ARTICLE 3
WHEELING SERVICE
3.1 Provision of Service.
3.1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, OTEC will provide Wheeling Service such
that it:
(a) receives Energy at the Receipt Point(s);
(b) transmits such Energy over the OTEC System; and
(c) delivers the resulting Energy, net of applicable Losses, at the Delivery Point(s).
3.1.2 OTEC will make available to IPC Wheeling Service in amounts equal to (a) the
aggregate Contract Capacity of the unexpired PPAs for Facilities specified in Exhibit 1, and (b)
the amounts necessary to serve the Idaho Customers in Exhibit 2; as both Exhibits may be revised

EXHIBIT D
WHEELING AGREEMENT - Page 5
46653.0015.4931-0884-1103.1
(c) any limitations imposed by a Governmental Body, other regulator or applicable
law.
3.2 Payment for Service. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including, specifically,
Section 5.1.2 and Exhibits 1 and 2, IPC will pay OTEC for the Wheeling Service on a monthly
basis:
(a) IPC will pay OTEC for Wheeling Service for PPAs based on the Contract Capacity
of the unexpired PPAs for Facilities specified in Exhibit 1, as it may be revised,
multiplied by the applicable Wheeling Service rate specified on Exhibit 1.
(b) IPC will pay OTEC for Wheeling Service for Idaho Customers specified in Exhibit
2, as it may be revised, based on the Idaho Customers’ Capacity for that month
multiplied by the applicable Wheeling Service rate specified on Exhibit 2.

Energy transmitted under this Agreement. Title to and risk of loss of such Energy remains with
IPC or IPC’s suppliers and buyers, as applicable.
3.4 Curtailment. OTEC may temporarily curtail receipt and delivery of Energy in response to
Abnormal or Out of Limit Operating Conditions or Casualty events. OTEC shall use reasonable
efforts to provide IPC with prior notice of any such temporary curtailment. If prior notice is not
given, OTEC shall, upon request, provide IPC written documentation after the fact explaining the
circumstances of the temporary curtailment.
3.5 Revisions to Exhibits 1 and 2 and Reductions to Wheeling Service. IPC may request to
reduce or remove Contract Capacity for unexpired PPAs for Facilities listed in Exhibit 1, or may
request to remove Idaho Customer(s) from Exhibit 2 if it no longer requires such Wheeling Service,
by submitting a request in writing to OTEC at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the
requested reduction or removal. Such reductions or removal will reduce the overall Wheeling
Service provided by OTEC and paid for by IPC. PPAs will automatically be removed from
Wheeling Service upon the expiration of the PPA listed in Exhibit 1 and such automatic removal
does not require any written request by IPC or revision to Exhibit 1.

maintain any meters, communication, or other equipment that is included in the OTEC system.
The costs of such operation and maintenance that are allocable to IPC are included in the Wheeling
Rates described in Exhibits 1 and 2. OTEC will operate and maintain any meters, communication,
or other equipment that are included in OTEC Interconnection Facilities. The costs of such
operation and maintenance are addressed in the applicable Generation Interconnection Agreement.
If new metering, communication, or other equipment is determined to be necessary to provide

BILLING PROCEDURES
5.1 Billing Procedures.
5.1.1 Invoices. With respect to any costs and expenses for which a Party is entitled to be
paid under this Agreement, such Party (the “invoicing Party”) must submit an invoice to the other
Party at the start of each calendar month.
5.1.2 Payment. Payment of invoiced amounts will be due and payable within 15 business
days after receipt of the invoice, or such other time as the Parties mutually agree. All payments
will be made in immediately available funds payable to the invoicing Party or by wire transfer to
a bank account specified by the invoicing Party. If any portion of any invoice remains unpaid 15
business days after the receipt of the invoice, or such other time as the Parties mutually agreed
upon, the invoicing Party will apply to the unpaid balance, and the other Party shall pay an interest
charge calculated at the legal rate of interest.
5.1.3 Disputes. If a Party disputes any portion of an invoice, the disputing Party shall
notify the invoicing Party in writing of any such dispute and the reason therefore. No invoice may
be disputed after such time as a Party’s audit rights have expired. Parties shall settle billing disputes
in accordance with this Agreement. In the event of a billing dispute, each Party agrees to continue
to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement as long as the other Party continues to
make all undisputed payments. Disputed payment resolution amounts shall bear interest at the legal
rate of interest for the period from the date of the invoice to the date of payment resolution.
5.1.4 Payment Not a Waiver. Payment of invoices by a Party will not relieve such Party
from any responsibilities or obligations it has under this Agreement, nor will it constitute a waiver
of any claims such Party may have under this Agreement.
5.2 Regulatory Changes. If any change in the Wheeling Service rates or regulatory
requirements becomes effective during the Term, OTEC may adjust the charges under this
EXHIBIT D
WHEELING AGREEMENT - Page 9
46653.0015.4931-0884-1103.1
Agreement to reflect such changes, consistent with Exhibit 4, effective as of the date required or
permitted by the regulator.
5.3 Setoff. Except as required by law, neither Party may set off or net any amounts owed under
this Agreement against amounts owed under any other agreement without the other Party’s prior
written consent.
5.4 Responsibility for Taxes. Each Party is responsible for its own income, franchise and
similar Taxes. IPC will be responsible for all sales, use, excise, energy, transmission, or other
transaction based Taxes, charges or assessments imposed on the Wheeling Service or Energy
transmitted for IPC’s account, except to the extent applicable law clearly allocates such Taxes to
OTEC.
5.5 Tax Exemptions. If IPC claims any exemption or reduced rate for Taxes, IPC will provide
OTEC with all required exemption certificates or documentation reasonably acceptable to OTEC
and the applicable Taxing Authority. OTEC will not be required to honor any claimed exemption
until such documentation is received and accepted.
5.6 Reimbursement. If OTEC is required to pay any Taxes, charges or assessments that are the
responsibility of IPC under this Agreement, IPC will reimburse OTEC promptly upon demand.
ARTICLE 6
CONFIDENTIALITY
6.1 General. Unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or other
provisions of law or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each Party will hold in
confidence any and all documents and information furnished under an explicit written claim of
confidentiality by the other Party in connection with this Agreement. To the extent either Party is
required by law or administrative process to release or disclose such information to a third party,
such Party shall advise the third party of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and use
its best efforts to require said third party to agree in writing to comply with such provisions.
6.2 Exempt Information and Documents. The Parties’ confidentiality obligations set forth in
Section 6.1 shall not apply to information or documents that are: (A) generally available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure by a Party (the “disclosing Party”) to the other Party; (B)
available to a Party on non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party; or (C)
available to a Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing Party,
provided that the source is not known and, by reasonable effort, could not be known by the Party
receiving such information or documents to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
disclosing Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Party receiving
such information or documents by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.
6.3 Notification. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if it receives notice or
otherwise concludes that the production of any confidential information or documentation
furnished by the disclosing Party and subject to Section 6.1 is being sought under any provision of
law or regulation. The notifying Party shall have no obligation to oppose or object to any attempt
to obtain such production except to the extent requested to do so by the disclosing Party and at the
disclosing Party’s expense. If either Party desires to object or oppose such production, it must do
EXHIBIT D
WHEELING AGREEMENT - Page 10
46653.0015.4931-0884-1103.1
so at its own expense. The disclosing Party may request a protective order to prevent any
confidential information from being made public.
6.4 Use of Information or Documentation. Each Party may use information or documentation
otherwise subject to Section 6.1 in an administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction
addressing any dispute arising under this Agreement, subject to a confidentiality agreement or a
protective order binding all participants including, if applicable, any arbitrator.
6.5 Remedies Regarding Confidentiality. The Parties agree that monetary damages by
themselves will be inadequate to compensate a Party for the other Party’s breach of its obligations
under this Article 6. Each party accordingly agrees that the other Party is entitled to equitable
relief, by way of injunction or otherwise, if it breaches or threatens to breach its obligations under
this Article 6.
ARTICLE 7

period or (ii) completely correct or cure the situation within 90 calendar days after receiving
written notice from the other Party.

(A) act to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the defaulting
Party with fourteen (14) days’ notice, and/or (B) take whatever action at law or in equity as may
appear necessary or desirable to enforce the performance or observance of any rights, remedies,
obligations, agreements or covenants under this Agreement.
7.3 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred by any of the provisions of this Agreement is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute
a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

ARTICLE 8
FORCE MAJEURE
8.1 General. Neither Party shall be considered to be in default or breach of this Agreement or
liable in damages or otherwise responsible to the other Party, due to any delay in or failure to carry
out any of its obligations under this Agreement, if the Party is unable to perform or is prevented
from performing by an event of Force Majeure, as such term is defined in Section 8.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party may claim an event of Force Majeure for any delay
or failure to perform or carry out any provision of this Agreement to the extent that such Party has
been negligent or engaged in intentional misconduct or failed to exercise reasonable foresight and
such negligence or intentional misconduct or failure to exercise reasonable foresight contributed
to that Party’s delay or failure to perform or carry out its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. All performance obligations affected by the event of Force Majeure will be extended
for a period equal to the length of the resulting delay.
8.2 Force Majeure Defined. “Force Majeure” means those events beyond the reasonable
control of the Party claiming Force Majeure that, through the exercise of reasonable foresight and
Prudent Utility Practices, that Party could not have avoided and that, by exercise of due diligence,
that Party is unable to overcome. Such events include, but are not limited to, the following: flood;
lightning strikes; ice storm; tsunami; earthquake; fire; hurricane; tornado; war; invasion; riot; civil
disturbance; sabotage; explosion; insurrection; military or usurped power; strike; labor dispute;
restraint by any court order or Governmental Body, or any civil or military authority de facto or
de jure; act of God; or any other event or cause of a similar nature.

8.3.1 Give written notice to the other Party of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event
as soon as possible after learning of the occurrence of such an event;
8.3.2 Use due diligence to resume performance or the provision of service hereunder as
soon as practicable;
8.3.3 Take all commercially reasonable actions, subject to Prudent Utility Practices, to
correct or cure the Force Majeure event; provided, however, that settlement of strikes or other
labor disputes are completely within the sole discretion of the Party affected by such strike or labor
dispute;
8.3.4 Exercise all reasonable efforts to mitigate or limit damages to the other Party; and
8.3.5 Provide prompt written notice to the other Party of the cessation of the adverse
effect of the Force Majeure event on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Liability. Neither Party shall be liable for money damages or other compensation to the
other Party for actions or omissions taken in performing its obligations under this Agreement,

EXHIBIT D
WHEELING AGREEMENT - Page 12
46653.0015.4931-0884-1103.1
intentional misconduct, or fraudulent acts, and in such circumstances the Party shall only for the
amount of direct damage actually incurred by the other Party. Direct damages for the purposes of
this Section 9.1 include any costs, penalties, or damages that IPC incurs under its PPAs or damages
from claims from Idaho Customers as a result of OTEC’s actions or omissions under this
Agreement. Neither Party may seek to enforce any claims against the directors, members,
shareholders, officers, employees or agents of the other party solely by reason of their status as
directors, members, shareholders, officers, employees or agents. In no event shall either Party be
liable to the other Party for any incidental, consequential, punitive, special, exemplary or indirect
damages, loss of revenues or profits, arising out of, or connected in any way with the performance
or non-performance under this Agreement, except as authorized by this Agreement. Nothing in
this Article 9 shall limit or modify the obligations, remedies, or liabilities set forth in Section 7.2.

or death of any person or damage to property, demands, suits, recoveries, costs and expenses, court
costs, attorney fees, and all other obligations by or to third parties, arising out of or resulting from
the Indemnifying Party’s performance of obligations under this Agreement, except in cases of
gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing by Indemnified Party.
9.3 Notice. If either Party receives notice of the commencement of any legal action relating to
or arising out of the operation of the Facility, the Interconnection Facilities, or OTEC System that
may affect the other Party, the Party so notified shall promptly inform the other Party of the
commencement of such legal action. Failure to so inform the other Party shall not relieve either
Party of any liability or obligations to the other Party.
9.4 No Duty to Non-Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any duty,
standard of care or liability to any person not a party to this Agreement.
9.5 No Public Dedication. No undertaking by either Party to the other Party under any
provision of this Agreement shall constitute the dedication of that Party’s electrical system,
equipment, or facilities or any portion thereof to the other Party or to the public.

or early termination of this Agreement.

Form of Territory Allocation Agreement
See attached.
Exhibit E
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 1
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT
This Territory Allocation Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Oregon
Trail Electric Consumers Cooperative, Inc. dba Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative (“OTEC”), and
Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power”), each hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Party” or
together as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, OTEC and Idaho Power are each engaged in the sale of electricity to retail customers
located within exclusive service territories allocated to them by the Public Utility Commission of
Oregon (the “Commission”); and
WHEREAS, the exclusive service territories of OTEC and Idaho Power include areas that are
adjacent to each other in Baker County, Grant County, Harney County, and Malheur County, Oregon;
and
WHEREAS, ORS 758.410 allows utilities to enter into agreements to allocate territory and
customers and to designate which territories and customers are to be served by each utility; and
WHEREAS, OTEC and Idaho Power wish to modify their respective service territories such that
OTEC will annex Idaho Power’s entire exclusive service territory in the State of Oregon (“Annexed
Territory”); and
WHEREAS, a map and the legal descriptions [PLACEHOLDER] of the Annexed Territory, Idaho
Power’s Oregon exclusive service territory, and OTEC’s exclusive service territory are attached as
Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, subject to Commission approval, OTEC and Idaho Power further wish to permanently
transfer the Annexed Territory from Idaho Power’s exclusive service territory to OTEC’s exclusive
service territory; and
WHEREAS, a map and legal description [PLACEHOLDER] of OTEC’s exclusive service territory
and the Annexed Territory is attached as Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, on or about [Date], OTEC and Idaho Power, in order to ensure safe and reliable electric
service in the Annexed Territory, entered into an “Asset Purchase Agreement” in which OTEC will
purchase certain of Idaho Power’s assets necessary to service the Annexed Territory as described
therein. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C; and
WHEREAS, the Parties, in furtherance of the Policy of Oregon as stated in ORS 758.405, believe
that allocating the territories and customers as provided for in this Agreement will 1) eliminate or
avoid unnecessary duplication of utility facilities, 2) will promote the efficient and economic use and
development and the safety of operation of the utility systems of the Parties, and 3) provide adequate
and reasonable service to the Annexed Territory.
ACCORDINGLY, OTEC and Idaho Power hereby desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to
DR
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 2
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
ORS 758.410 so that OTEC and Idaho Power can more efficiently serve customers within the
Annexed Territory as provided for in this Agreement, and to complete the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and releases set forth
herein, and the recitals stated above which are incorporated into this Agreement as is fully set forth
herein, the Parties agree as follows.
AGREEMENT
1) Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing (as defined in the
Asset Purchase Agreement), (“Effective Date”); provided, that this Agreement may not
become effective without the approval by the Commission of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and the approval of the transactions and regulatory treatment by the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission; provided, further, that Section 2 of this Agreement shall be enforceable only
upon approval of this Agreement by the Commission pursuant to ORS 758.415.
2) Allocation of Annexed Territory. Subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
upon approval by the Commission, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
a) Parties Agree to Transfer Annexed Territory. The Annexed Territory shall be
permanently transferred from Idaho Power’s exclusive service territory to OTEC’s
exclusive service territory.
b) Joint Petition for Commission Approval. As soon as practicable following the
execution of this Agreement by both Parties, the Parties shall jointly petition the
Commission to approve the agreed-upon transfer of the Annexed Territory in
accordance with ORS 758.415 to 758.425.
c) Service to Current and Future Customers in Annexed Territory. Upon Commission
approval of such transfer, OTEC shall have the exclusive right and obligation to
provide retail electric service to all current and any future customers that may be
located within the Annexed Territory, including the obligation to construct, own,
operate, and maintain any necessary electric facilities. Idaho Power shall have no right
or obligation to provide retail electric service to such customers located in the
Annexed Territory.
3) Compliance with ORS 758.405. The Parties believe that allocating the territories and
customers as provided for in this Agreement will: (1) eliminate or avoid unnecessary
duplication of utility facilities; (2) will promote the efficient and economic use and
development and the safety of operation of the utility systems of the Parties; and (3) provide
adequate and reasonable service to the Annexed Territory as described more fully below.
a) Elimination or Avoidance of Unnecessary Duplication of Utility Facilities.
The Parties believe that this Agreement will eliminate or avoid the unnecessary
duplication of utility facilities by creating a unified service territory across four
DR
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 3
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
Oregon counties which are geographically adjacent to the Oregon territory currently
served by OTEC. By allowing OTEC to also serve the Annexed Territory, OTEC will
be able to use common assets to reduce the need for redundant capital investment that
would be required for both OTEC and Idaho Power to serve customers in service
territories adjacent to each other. Allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory will
also provide operations and maintenance expense savings for OTEC to more
efficiently serve customers in both its existing service territory and the Annexed
Territory.
The Parties agree that allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory will also avoid
unnecessary duplication of existing interconnected facilities currently serving the
Annexed Territory. Based on OTEC and Idaho Power’s review of utility facilities
serving the Annexed Territory, it became apparent that certain substations and
transmission lines were only necessary for Idaho Power to safely and efficiently
operate and serve its exclusive territory. The Annexed Territory will cost-effectively
maintain full functionality and redundancy as compared to the separate and
independent systems configuration of OTEC and Idaho Power. By eliminating the
use of these necessary Idaho Power assets to serve Oregon customers, operations and
maintenance expense, as well as capital replacement investment, will be reduced for
the Annexed Territory in comparison to the separate systems configuration that exists
prior to approval of the territory allocation and asset sale. No additional lines,
substations or other electric facilities are necessary to continue service in the Annexed
Territory. In addition, there will be no stranded investments as part of the territory
allocation and asset sale because Idaho Power will continue to use any assets that are
not included in the Asset Sale for its Idaho customers. Using fewer facilities to serve
the Annexed Territory and surrounding OTEC service territory will lead to synergies
in planning processes, lower capital investment, lower repair and maintenance costs,
and reduced labor duplication, which will benefit OTEC’s members in the Annexed
territory and beyond.
b) Promotion of Efficient and Economic Use and Development and Safety of Operation of
the Utility Systems.
Allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory in addition to its adjacent Oregon
service territory will help promote efficiencies through economies of scale. The
combined operations can reduce per-unit costs for generation, transmission, and
distribution, which will benefit OTEC’s members in the Annexed Territory and its
current members.
OTEC’s current facilities and employees are close to certain areas in the Annexed
Territory (including outlying areas in Baker County, Harney County, Western
Malheur County), which will help reduce outage and emergency response time while
efficiency utilizing current service centers and equipment located in OTEC’s Oregon
service territory.
OTEC will also operate a service center in the Annexed Territory that will uniformly
benefit both OTEC’s current members and members in the Annexed Territory. The
DR
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 4
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
Oregon based service center will stock an inventory of commonly used materials and
supplies to provide faster access to those components in outage situations and help
foster the efficient repair and maintenance of utility facilities in the Annexed Territory.
Further, local utility crews will be based out of the new service center to speed outage
response and provide for a local workforce in the Oregon communities as compared
to dispatching crews from an Idaho based utility.
Existing OTEC members and future members in the Annexed Territory will benefit
from this Agreement through economies of scale and system redundancy. Both OTEC
and Idaho Power outperform national industry safety and reliability standards, and the
Agreement will ensure unified safety standards and training across the unified Oregon
territory, reducing risks and improving emergency response time.
c) Provision of Adequate and Reasonable Service to the Annexed Territory.
OTEC has a long history of providing safe and reliable service to its members, which
will include the Annexed Territory under this Agreement. OTEC is a non-profit,
member owned electric cooperative operating under cooperative principles. These
principles include a concern for community which drives local investment through
charitable contributions, scholarships and workforce development programs, capital
credits, and support of community events. Through this Agreement, members across
OTEC’s service territory, including the Annexed Territory, will benefit from uniform
service standards, including consistent reliability, pricing, and customer support.
Expanding OTEC’s Oregon service territory to include the Annexed Territory will
also give OTEC the opportunity to increase availability of resources to invest in
modernization, renewables, and smart grid technologies that will benefit OTEC’s
current customers and customers in the Annexed Territory.
4) Purchase of Assets. The parties acknowledge and agree that the “Asset Purchase Agreement”
dated [Insert Date], entered into between OTEC and Idaho Power, is hereby incorporated into
this Agreement by reference. The Asset Purchase Agreement governs the sale and transfer of
certain assets located within the territory allocated to OTEC under this Agreement. All terms,
conditions, representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Asset Purchase
Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement to the extent they relate to the assets and
territory described herein. The Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
5) No Impact on Remainder of Service Territories. Except as expressly provided herein with
respect to the Annexed Territory, nothing in this Agreement shall affect either Party’s rights
and responsibilities to provide electric service to any other current or future customers located
in their respective service territories.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered
into as of [●], 202[ ] (“Effective Date”), by and between Oregon Trail Electric Consumers
Cooperative, Inc., an Oregon cooperative corporation dba Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative
(“Buyer”), and Idaho Power Company, an Idaho corporation (“Seller,” and together with Buyer,
the “Parties”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement,
dated as of [●], 2026 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller has agreed to sell and
assign to Buyer, and Buyer has agreed to purchase and assume from Seller, the Acquired Assets
and Assumed Liabilities, respectively (both as defined in the Purchase Agreement), all as more
fully described therein;
WHEREAS, in order to ensure an orderly transition of the Business (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) to Buyer and as a condition to consummating the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement, Buyer and Seller have agreed to enter into this Agreement, pursuant
to which Seller will provide, or cause its Affiliates to provide, Buyer with certain services, in each
case on a transitional basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meaning ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the foregoing and the Parties’ respective representations, warranties,
covenants, obligations and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
SERVICES
Section 1.01 Provision of Services.
(a) Seller agrees to provide, or to cause its Affiliates to provide, the services
(the “Services”) set forth on the schedules attached hereto (as such schedules may be amended or
supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the “Service Schedules”) to
Buyer for the respective periods and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and
in the respective Service Schedules.
(b) Notwithstanding the contents of the Service Schedules, Seller agrees to
respond in good faith to any reasonable request by Buyer for access to any additional services that
have been historically provided by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the Acquired Assets
that are necessary for the operation of the Business and which are not currently contemplated in
the Service Schedules, at a price to be agreed upon after good faith negotiations between the Parties
Exhibit F-1-4
in accordance with the cost structure set forth in Exhibit A. Any such additional services so
provided by Seller shall constitute Services under this Agreement, shall be documented in an
additional Service Schedule signed by Seller and Buyer, and be subject in all respects to the
provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth on a Service Schedule as of the date hereof.
(c) The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services.
Accordingly, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to make a transition of each Service to its own internal
organization or to obtain alternate third-party sources to provide the Services.
(d) Subject to Section 2.03, Section 2.04 and Section 3.05, the obligations of
Seller under this Agreement to provide Services shall terminate with respect to each Service on
the end date specified in the applicable Service Schedule (the “End Date”); provided, however, the
obligations of Seller under this Agreement to provide Services shall not extend beyond 36 months
from the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that
Buyer may determine from time to time that it does not require all the Services set out on one or
more of the Service Schedules or that it does not require such Services for the entire period up to
the applicable End Date. Accordingly, Buyer may terminate any Service, in whole and not in part,
upon 30 days’ prior notification to Seller in writing of any such determination (unless such notice
is waived in writing by Seller in its sole discretion). Buyer shall pay Seller any non-recoverable
Out-of-Pocket Costs (defined in Section 2.02(a)) incurred by Seller because of any such
termination.
Section 1.02 Standard of Service.
(a) Seller shall provide the Services in good faith and, in all material respects,
in accordance with Law, in a manner generally consistent with the historical provision of the
Services and with the same standard of care as historically provided. Subject to Section 1.03, Seller
agrees to assign sufficient resources and qualified personnel as are reasonably required to perform
the Services in accordance with the standards set forth in the preceding sentence.
(b) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 1.02(a), THE
SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND SELLER MAKES NO (AND HEREBY
DISCLAIMS ALL) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, IMPLIED,
EXPRESS, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND ANY
WARRANTIES IMPLIED FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE,
OR USAGE OF TRADE. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS
AGREEMENT DOES NOT CREATE A FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP, PARTNERSHIP,
JOINT VENTURE, OR RELATIONSHIP OF TRUST OR AGENCY BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND THAT ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY SELLER AS AN INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTOR.
Exhibit F-1-5
Section 1.03 Third Party Service Providers.
Seller shall have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all or part of any
Service hereunder. Seller shall in all cases retain responsibility for the provision to Buyer of
Services to be performed by any third-party service provider or subcontractor or by any of Seller’s
Affiliates.
Section 1.04 Access to Premises.
(a) In order to enable the provision of the Services by Seller, Buyer shall provide to
Seller’s and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service providers or subcontractors who
provide Services, at no cost to Seller, access to the Acquired Assets, in all cases to the extent
necessary for Seller to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Seller agrees that all of its and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service
providers and subcontractors, when on the property of Buyer or when given access to any
equipment, computer, software, network, or files owned or controlled by Buyer, shall conform to
the policies and procedures of Buyer concerning health, safety, and security which are made known
to Seller in advance in writing, provided that such policies and procedures are not materially
different than the policies and procedures previously adopted by Seller for such premises or assets
before Closing (in which case Seller and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service
providers and subcontractors shall conform to the policies and procedures previously adopted by
Seller as to said premises or assets).
Section 1.05 Removal of Confidential or Proprietary Data or Information.
(a) During the term of this Agreement, Seller may, but shall not be required to, remove
or redact from the Acquired Assets any confidential or proprietary data or information (including,
but not limited to, equipment configurations) not required to have been delivered to Buyer pursuant
to Section 7.14 of the Purchase Agreement; provided that if the removal of any data or information
from any equipment or system would materially impair the intended functionality of such
equipment or system as manufactured, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer prior to removal and
cooperate with Buyer in a commercially reasonable manner to: (i) identify impacted functionality,
(ii) provide reasonable information about required specifications relevant to maintaining such
intended functionality (without disclosing Seller’s confidential or proprietary data or information),
and (iii) maintain or restore such functionality as fully as reasonably possible. During the term of
this Agreement, Buyer shall give Seller no less than fifteen business days’ written notice before
Buyer disposes of any Acquired Asset that has digital storage or programmable components to
allow Seller a reasonable opportunity to exercise the rights provided for in this Section 1.05.
ARTICLE 2
COMPENSATION
Section 2.01 Responsibility for Wages and Fees.
For such time as any employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates are providing the Services
to Buyer under this Agreement, (a) such employees will remain employees of Seller or such
Affiliate, as applicable, and shall not be deemed to be employees of Buyer for any purpose, and
Exhibit F-1-6
(b) Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable, shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision
of all wages, bonuses and commissions, employee benefits, including severance and worker’s
compensation, and the withholding and payment of applicable Taxes relating to such employment.
Section 2.02 Terms of Payment and Related Matters.
(a) As consideration for provision of the Services, Buyer shall pay Seller’s
actual costs, including overheads and benefits loading, consistent with Seller’s past practice,
without markup or profit margin, in accordance with the methodology set forth in Exhibit A. In
addition to any such amount, in the event that Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses in the provision of any Service, including, without limitation,
license fees or payments to third-party service providers or subcontractors, but excluding payments
made to employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.01 (such included
expenses, collectively, “Out-of-Pocket Costs”), Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all such Out-of-
Pocket Costs in accordance with the invoicing procedures set forth in Section 2.02(b). If any
license fees or payments to third-party service providers or subcontractors are for the benefit of
both Buyer and Seller, such fees or payments will be prorated based on the usage of such license
or services by Buyer and Seller for purposes of calculating the Out-of-Pocket Costs chargeable
under this Agreement.
(b) As more fully provided in the Service Schedules and subject to the terms
and conditions therein:
(i) Seller shall provide Buyer, in accordance with Section 6.01 of this
Agreement, with monthly invoices (“Invoices”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail, with
such supporting documentation as Buyer may reasonably request with respect to Out-of-Pocket
Costs, amounts payable under this Agreement; and
(ii) payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made within thirty
(30) days after the date of receipt of an Invoice by Buyer from Seller. Any undisputed amount due
under this Agreement that remains unpaid after its due date shall bear interest from the date that
such payment became delinquent until the date such amount is paid in full at the lower of 1.5%
per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Buyer shall pay Seller all costs and expenses of
collection (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Seller for collecting any amounts past due under
this Agreement.
(c) It is the intent of the Parties that the compensation provided for herein and
in the respective Service Schedules reasonably approximates the cost of providing the Services,
including the cost of employee wages and compensation, without any intent to cause Seller to
receive profit or incur loss. If at any time Seller believes that the payments contemplated by a
specific Service Schedule are materially insufficient to compensate it for the cost of providing the
Services it is obligated to provide hereunder, or Buyer believes that the payments contemplated by
a specific Service Schedule materially overcompensate Seller for such Services, such Party shall
notify the other Party as soon as possible, and the Parties will commence good faith negotiations
toward an agreement in writing as to the appropriate course of action with respect to pricing of
such Services for future periods.
Exhibit F-1-7
Section 2.03 Extension of Services.
The Parties agree that Seller shall not be obligated to perform any Service after the
applicable End Date. If Buyer desires and Seller agrees to continue to perform any of the Services
after the applicable End Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an amount that
compensates Seller for all of its costs for such performance, including the time of its employees,
overheads, and benefits loading, and its Out-of-Pocket Costs. The Services so performed by Seller
after the applicable End Date shall continue to constitute Services under this Agreement and be
subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed-upon
extension period.
Section 2.04 Terminated Services.
Upon termination or expiration of any or all Services pursuant to this Agreement, or upon
the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, Seller shall have no further obligation to provide
the applicable terminated Services, and, except as expressly provided in Section 1.01(d) of this
Agreement, Buyer shall have no obligation to pay any future compensation or Out-of-Pocket Costs
relating to such Services, other than for or in respect of Services already provided in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and received by Buyer prior to such termination.
Section 2.05 Invoice Disputes.
In the event of an Invoice dispute, Buyer shall deliver a written statement to Seller no later
than ten (10) days prior to the date payment is due on the disputed Invoice listing all disputed items
and providing a reasonably detailed description of each disputed item. Amounts not so disputed
shall be deemed accepted and shall be paid, notwithstanding disputes on other items, within the
period set forth in Section 2.02(b). The Parties shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously
and in good faith. Seller shall continue performing the Services in accordance with this Agreement
pending resolution of any dispute.
Section 2.06 No Right of Setoff.
Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that it shall have no right under this Agreement
to set off any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) to the other Party, whether under this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, against any other amount owed (or to become
due and owing) to it by the other Party.
Section 2.07 Taxes.
Buyer shall be responsible for all sales or use Taxes imposed or assessed as a result of the
provision of Services by Seller.
Exhibit F-1-8
ARTICLE 3
TERMINATION
Section 3.01 Termination of Agreement.
Subject to Section 3.03, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety (i) on the date upon
which Seller shall have no continuing obligation to perform any Services as a result of each of
their expiration or termination in accordance with Section 1.01(d) or Section 3.02, (ii) in
accordance with Section 3.03 or (iii) by mutual written agreement by the Parties.
Section 3.02 Breach.
Any Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement with respect to any
Service, in whole but not in part, at any time upon prior written notice to the other Party (the
“Breaching Party”) if the Breaching Party has failed (other than pursuant to Section 3.05) to
perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Service, and such
failure shall have continued without cure for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt by the
Breaching Party of a written notice of such failure from the Non-Breaching Party seeking to
terminate such Service. For the avoidance of doubt, non-payment by Buyer for a Service provided
by Seller in accordance with this Agreement and not the subject of a good-faith dispute shall be
deemed a breach for purposes of this Section 3.02.
Section 3.03 Insolvency.
In the event that either Party hereto shall (i) file a petition in bankruptcy, (ii) become or be
declared insolvent, or become the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within sixty (60) days)
related to its liquidation, insolvency, or the appointment of a receiver, (iii) make an assignment on
behalf of all or substantially all of its creditors, or (iv) take any corporate action for its winding up
or dissolution, then the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing
written notice in accordance with Section 6.01.
Section 3.04 Effect of Termination.
Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 3.01,
all obligations of the Parties shall terminate, except for the provisions of Section 2.02 (with respect
to amounts owing prior to termination or expiration), Section 2.04, Section 2.06, Section 2.07,
ARTICLE 4, ARTICLE 5, and ARTICLE 6, which shall survive any termination or expiration of
this Agreement.
Section 3.05 Force Majeure.
The obligations of Seller under this Agreement with respect to any Service shall be
suspended during the period and to the extent that Seller is prevented or hindered from providing
such Service, or Buyer is prevented or hindered from receiving such Service, due to any of the
following causes beyond such Party’s reasonable control, regardless of whether such causes are
foreseeable, (such causes, “Force Majeure Events”): (i) acts of God, (ii) flood, fire, or explosion,
(iii) war, invasion, riot, or other civil unrest, (iv) governmental Order or Law, (v) actions,
embargoes, or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement, (vi) action by any
Exhibit F-1-9
Governmental Body, (vii) national or regional emergency, (viii) strikes, labor stoppages or
slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, (ix) shortage of adequate power or transportation
facilities, (x) pandemics, or (xi) any other event which is beyond the reasonable control of such
Party. The Party suffering a Force Majeure Event shall give notice of suspension as soon as
reasonably practicable to the other Party stating the date and extent of such suspension and the
cause thereof, and Seller shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably
practicable after the removal of the cause. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable for the
nonperformance or delay in performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement when
such failure is due to a Force Majeure Event. The applicable End Date for any Service so suspended
shall be automatically extended for a period of time equal to the time lost by reason of the
suspension.
ARTICLE 4
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 4.01 Confidentiality.
During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, the Parties agree that the terms of the
Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect and will be applicable to all
Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) exchanged in connection
with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Review” in the
Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the “Discussion” as defined in the
Confidentiality Agreement, and the “Discussion” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement shall
include the Transactions and the Services.
ARTICLE 5 INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
Section 5.01 Indemnification.
(a) Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any
Losses proximately caused by any Third Party Claim, resulting from or related to Seller’s entry
into or performance under this Agreement. Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties
from and against any Losses proximately caused by any Third Party Claim, arising out of or
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its Affiliates or any third
party that provides a Service to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.03 in connection with the provision
of, or failure to provide, any Services to Buyer. As used herein, (i) a “Third Party Claim” means
any Proceeding of a Third Party at any time instituted against or made upon any Indemnified Party
for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement, (ii)
“Indemnified Party” means any Person entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section
5.01, (iii) “Indemnifying Party” means any Person against whom indemnification may be sought
pursuant to this Section 5.01, (iv) “Losses” means all (a) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
assessments, levies, losses, damages, fines, and penalties, and (b) attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably and actually incurred in investigating or defending a Third Party Claim, and
(v) “Third Party” means any Person that is neither a Party to this Agreement nor a Subsidiary or
Affiliate of any Party.
Exhibit F-1-10
(b) If any Indemnified Party desires to seek indemnification under Section 5.01(a), the
Indemnified Party will give reasonably prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party, specifying
the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, or a good faith
estimate of the amount of Losses asserted with respect to such claim and the method of
computation of such Losses (each such notice, a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the
failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim for
indemnification, it will notify the Indemnified Party within 45 days after its receipt of the
applicable Claim Notice, whereupon the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will meet
and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to such claim for indemnification.
If the dispute has not been resolved within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party of its dispute under this Section 5.01(b), then the Indemnified Party may initiate
litigation in accordance with Section 11.09 of the Purchase Agreement, which is hereby
incorporated by reference into this Agreement mutatis mutandis. The Indemnified Party will have
the burden of proof in establishing its right to indemnification and the amount of Losses suffered
by such Person.
(c) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense and control of
any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice by providing written notice to the Indemnified
Party within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of such Third Party Claim;
provided that the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume or continue control of the
defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent: (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in
connection with any criminal proceeding; or (ii) the Third Party Claim only seeks an injunction or
other equitable relief against an Indemnified Party.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to
Section 5.01(c), the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that no such consent will be required if
(i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages (including any expenses and fees), (ii) the
settlement does not entail any admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, and (iii)
the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party(ies) from all liability
with respect to such Third Party Claim.
(e) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to
Section 5.01(c), then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such
claim at its own expense.
(f) If the Indemnifying Party does not timely assume the defense of a Third Party
Claim after receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to
Section 5.01(b), then the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim in such manner as it
deems reasonably appropriate and is consistent with the provisions hereof. The Indemnified Party
may not settle such claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
Exhibit F-1-11
(g) The Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith and in all respects with the
Indemnifying Party and its representatives (including its counsel) in the investigation, negotiation,
settlement, trial or defense of any Third Party Claim (and any appeal arising therefrom), including
by making records and personnel reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party. The Parties will
cooperate with each other in any notifications to and information requests of any insurers.
(h) In no event will any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification for the same
Losses from more than one source. The Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover any
Losses relating to any matter arising under, or any facts and circumstances relating to or arising
out of, a provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Parties have already
recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Agreement. If a state of facts exists that would allow an Indemnified Party
to seek recovery under both this Agreement on the one hand, and another Transaction Agreement,
on the other hand, then such Indemnified Party only may seek recovery for Losses under this
Agreement or such other Transaction Agreement, as applicable.
(i) Each Indemnified Party will use, and will cause all other Indemnified Parties to use,
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event
that would reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses, including by (i) making and diligently
pursuing all claims under and collecting all amounts recoverable under any applicable insurance
policies (other than self-insurance policies), indemnification agreements, Contracts and other
similar rights for all Losses to the extent such Losses are covered by such insurance policy,
indemnification agreement, Contract or similar right of such Indemnified Party, (ii) incurring costs
only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy any breach or remediate any other situation, and
(iii) refraining from taking any action that might give rise to, or otherwise encouraging or
soliciting, any Third Party Claim.
Section 5.02 Limitation on Liability.
In no event shall Seller have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any
punitive, incidental, consequential, special, or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue
or income, loss of business reputation, or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of
this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple, whether
based on statute, contract, tort, or otherwise, and whether or not arising from the other Party’s sole,
joint, or concurrent negligence, strict liability, criminal liability, or other fault. Buyer
acknowledges that the Services to be provided to it hereunder are subject to, and that its remedies
under this Agreement are limited by, the applicable provisions of Section 1.02, including the
limitations with respect to the Services.

Transition Services Schedule
See attached
F-2-1
Exhibit F-2
Draft Transition Services
As used herein, “OTEC” refers to Buyer and “IPC” or “Idaho Power” refers to Seller under the
Agreement. All Services provided under the Transition Services Agreement, as described herein,
shall be paid for by OTEC as provided in Article 2 of the Transition Services Agreement and the
applicable Service Schedule.
Metering
Meter Reading
It is intended that OTEC will acquire AMI equipment in OR and IPC will retain AMI
equipment in Idaho. Following the term of the applicable Service Schedule, OTEC will
need to provide backhaul communications equipment and services to enable meter reads
for AMI equipment acquired by OTEC associated with IPC retained substations. IPC and
OTEC to agree on the process for OTEC substation access to service their equipment.
IPC to continue collecting meter reads for Oregon customers (TWACS and other
methods) and deliver data to OTEC electronically daily following the close of the sale
and through the term of the applicable Service Schedule as described below. Meter data
to include daily energy usage (kwh, kw, and kVARh if required), and detailed hourly
interval data (kw). This obligation will continue until OTEC completes its own AMI
system migration for those premises or implements an alternative mutually agreed
solution that enables OTEC to independently obtain billing‑quality meter data without
material degradation in functionality.
OTEC-Owned Stations and IPC-Retained Substations in Oregon: For customers
served out of Oregon AMI infrastructure that is transferring to OTEC as part of the
Agreement, IPC will continue to provide meter data for a period of 36 months following
the Closing, or until OTEC transitions the operation of the AMI equipment to its own
systems and IPC implements a solution to read IPC revenue meters from these
stations/feeders. The Parties will meet periodically during the transition to align cutover
schedules and minimize duplicate field work.
OTEC Customers served from Idaho Stations: For customers located in Oregon that
are served from Idaho-based substations where IPC retains ownership and operation of
AMI Modulating Transformer Units (MTUs) and associated Substation Communication
Equipment (SCE), IPC will provide OTEC with billing‑quality AMI data for those OTEC
customers for 36 months or until OTEC implements an alternative solution allowing them
to directly acquire the meter data, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding anything in the
previous statement, as provided in the Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement,
OTEC will compensate IPC for all metering costs for Oregon customers on and after
Closing until OTEC has incorporated its own independent metering solution.
F-2-2
As per the Agreement, each Party will compensate the other party for costs incurred to
bill the first Party’s customers without markup or profit margin commencing from the
Closing to the time when the Services are no longer required per the language above in
this section.
Meter Inventory & Stocking
IPC to continue stocking compatible TWACS meters for both new service installations
and routine replacements until the transition of AMI systems is completed as noted
above. This obligation sunsets on a substation‑by‑substation (or feeder‑by‑feeder) basis
upon (i) completion of AMI cutover for the affected feeders or (ii) decommissioning of
TWACS for that area, whichever occurs first. This will ensure TWACS system
compatibility until OTEC can stock compatible TWACS meters and complete the
substation communications and Meter Data Management (MDM) transfer.
Notification of Meter Changes
OTEC will provide daily notifications of any completed meter changes to IPC. This
process ensures that IPC can continue to operate the automated meter system effectively.
Meter Ping and Remote Disconnect Reconnect
Share metering data between utilities when possible.
Ping
Instantaneous reads
Geographic Information System (GIS) Data Provision
IPC will provide OTEC with Geographic Information System (GIS) data to enable OTEC to
develop a comprehensive engineering and electric network model of the system being acquired,
as well as any connected assets that remain with IPC. This transfer will include all necessary
facility data, network elements, related tables, and active domain exports required to construct a
functional model within OTEC’s ESRI-based GIS platform. To ensure accuracy and usability,
IPC and OTEC will work together to determine the correct file formats and processes for data
exchange. This collaboration will continue through the Closing and for an additional six-month
period, during which any changes to the network will be updated and reflected in the GIS model.
Circuits retained by IPC that impact OTEC service locations will be updated periodically to
provide functional modeling of the system. Circuits transferred to OTEC that impact IPC service
locations will be updated periodically to provide functional modeling of the system.
Outage Management Transition
For circuits where IPC and OTEC continue shared operations, outage data will be shared as near
real-time as possible to maintain system reliability. Data will be shared electronically to support
efficient operations and outage management. Post-hoc data will be shared daily to support
system planning.
F-2-3
Data changes made by either Party that affect electric network operability will be shared the day
the change is made.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) Integration
ICCP Connection Establishment
An Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP) connection will be established
between OTEC and IPC SCADA systems. This connection will enable the bi-directional
transfer of real-time operational data for each Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) located
within the acquired territory.
Data Sharing of SCADA Points
SCADA points will be made accessible and shared between both systems. This sharing
applies to all scenarios in which OTEC members are served via IPC equipment, as well
as instances where IPC customers are served by OTEC devices. This arrangement ensures
seamless monitoring and control across the respective service areas during and after the
transition period.
Substation & Field Apparatus
Spare Equipment Inventory Access
IPC to provide access to spare and backup substation equipment fleet for emergency
failures. The acquired substations contain several older specialty equipment items that
may require backup equipment. In most cases, OTEC does not have access to spare
equipment, and OETC does not view purchasing new spare equipment as reasonable at
current market prices and lead times. OTEC will pay book value on any used spare
equipment provided by IPC and compensate IPC for any deployment-related costs or
services.
IPC will make reasonable efforts to supply such surplus equipment when it is available.
The provision of replacement equipment is contingent upon IPC’s inventory and
availability at the time of need. IPC will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify
OTEC if IPC intends to scrap any equipment that IPC believes could be useful to OTEC
based on the Acquired Assets.
Spares used to support OTEC may also be required as backups for IPC stations. When
this occurs, IPC and OTEC will coordinate to replace the deployed spare and determine
associated cost responsibilities.
This process is intended to facilitate a smooth transition and minimize operational
disruptions while OTEC works to standardize equipment.
Mobile Substation Services
IPC to provide mobile substation services to OTEC for those locations that require a
mobile substation for emergencies or routine work. OTEC does not currently operate a
system that requires a mobile substation, and, thus, does not have one. OTEC will work
with IPC to schedule any scheduled maintenance at a time that works for both Parties.
F-2-4
IPC to transport and operate the mobile substation. OTEC to compensate IPC for any
mobile substation services.
Substation Communications
For all substations acquired by OTEC, communications will continue to be maintained by
IPC throughout the term of the applicable Service Schedule. Specifically, IPC will
provide communications support for a period of up to 18 months, or until each substation
has been fully transitioned to OTEC-owned communication systems, whichever occurs
first. This ensures there is no interruption in communication capabilities during the
transition process.
Once a substation has been successfully transitioned and OTEC has assumed
responsibility for its communications, any communications equipment at that facility
must be governed by a cyber security agreement protecting sensitive information on those
assets. For example, decommissioned MPLS equipment will need to be scrubbed of
encryption keys before being disposed of. This process will ensure a clear handoff of
operational responsibilities and equipment ownership as OTEC integrates the substations
into its own network and infrastructure.
For communications outages and emergency response during the transition period, OTEC
will compensate IPC for any related costs or services as provided in the Transition
Services Agreement and the applicable Service Schedule.
Field Apparatus Communications
For all Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) acquired by OTEC, IPC will maintain field
communications for a period of 18 months. This arrangement ensures that there is no
disruption in the operational communication capabilities of these devices during the term
of the applicable Service Schedule. Throughout this time frame, communication support
will be sustained by Idaho Power until a complete transition to OTEC’s ownership and
management is achieved. This process facilitates a smooth integration of the acquired
IEDs into OTEC’s network and maintains reliable real-time data exchange and
monitoring. OTEC will compensate Idaho Power for any direct support of OTEC owned
devices. For the avoidance of doubt, IPC is excluding 700MHz FAN backhaul
infrastructure from the Acquired Assets, and after the term of the applicable Service
Schedule, these devices will not communicate.
Estimating & Design Services
At and after Closing, OTEC will field member requests, complete project designs, and
prepare cost estimates from its members. OTEC will then coordinate construction with
IPC personnel in accordance with the applicable Service Schedule or enter into a new
Service Schedule. This arrangement is designed to ensure that ongoing and new Service
requests are handled efficiently during the post-Closing period, minimizing any
disruption to members seeking new connections.
All documentation regarding work order design, estimation, change orders and as built
design will be provided to OTEC for any work orders that are field completed during the
post-Closing period in accordance with the applicable Service Schedule. If the work
order is designed in GIS, all associated GIS data will be delivered to OTEC.
F-2-5
New Business (Line Extension) Construction
As a Service under the Transition Services Agreement, IPC will complete all
new‑business (line extension) projects for which (i) the design is completed and (ii) the
required customer funding is received prior to the Closing. Such projects do not need to
be constructed before Closing for IPC to retain responsibility to complete them during the
transition period. IPC will not charge OTEC for completing these pre‑Closing
designed‑and‑funded projects. If the scope or design of any such pre‑Closing project
changes, IPC and OTEC will cooperate to obtain any additional customer funding
required for the revised work. Any new business project that is designed and/or funded
on or after Closing will be constructed by OTEC. However, in accordance with the
Transition Services Agreement, OTEC may request IPC to provide new construction
services (line crews) to support post-Closing new‑business needs, subject to availability
and payment as provided in the Transition Services Agreement.
Customer / Member Billing Support
Customer / Member bill creation, mailing and processing will be handled by OTEC at
and after Closing. IPC will continue to collect cash and check at its operations center to
match current practice for IPC Oregon customers within the territory acquired by OTEC,
for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date. Any such funds will be held in office
and must be picked up by OTEC employees daily. The intent of this clause is to reduce
customer frustration. OTEC will also handle payments via phone, kiosk, website, app and
in-office once physical Ontario office is established.
Emergency Response
The information below is general in nature. OTEC and IPC will develop a standard
operating procedure and protocol to address emergency response, communications, and
system operations.
1. Services
a. IPC will dispatch line restoration personnel for specific coverage areas for a
12-month period immediately following Closing. OTEC will compensate
Idaho Power for emergency response services in accordance with the
Transition Services Agreement. Resource levels provided will be first
responder and line crew needed for restoration services.
2. Coverage Area
a. Defined by substation and circuit list
3. Flow of emergency response communications:
a. OTEC Member >< OTEC Dispatch >< IPCO Dispatch >< First Responder
b. Outage Response
i. Members will call OTEC outage number to report service
interruption/emergency
F-2-6
ii. OTEC Dispatch (CRC after-hours) will contact IPC to dispatch an IPC
first responder.
iii. IPC Responder will report status to IPC Dispatch
iv. IPC Dispatch will update status to OTEC Dispatch/management with
response and status.
Non-Emergency System Maintenance
OTEC will assume responsibility for all other maintenance activities upon Closing.
Field Employee Communications
To support safe joint field operations during the transition period, IPC and OTEC will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide limited, standards‑based interoperability between
their radio systems through methods such as AIS wireline integration or dispatch‑level talkgroup
cross‑patching, if technically feasible. Neither Party is required to modify or upgrade core radio
infrastructure, and each retains sole control of its system’s configuration and security.
Interoperability will be restricted to mutually approved operational or emergency talkgroups
necessary for coordination on shared circuits.

HFWY
WMPHarden - Wildfire Mitigation
Plan (WMP) Distribution
Infrastructure Improvement Program 1,200,000
The work completed under this ID will be to “harden” distribution lines as
part of the company’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP). The Overhead
Distribution Hardening program involves systematic replacement of
hardware, equipment, and materials to improve safety and reliability and
reduce ignition risk. The program is targeted for wildfire risk zones
identified in the company’s WMP. The 2026 scope will harden roughly 8.6
miles of HFWY-11 feeder beyond R4. 2027 and beyond scope is pending.

Distribution pole replacements - inspection and treatment follow-up work
for distribution feeders groundline inspected every 10-years. The budget is
for replacement of wood poles identified as rejected, restorable rejected,
or wood stubbed is part of our asset management plan. The scope for
2026-2027 is shown to the right and the split will ultimately depend on
permits and easements for certain segments we plan to relocate from
existing alignment. 2028 scope is unidentified and will be more certain
once the 2027 inspections are complete. No Oregon feeders are currently
scheduled for 2026 inspection.

structures supporting the 011A and 012A reclosers. Replace in the same
locations with new SEL-351-R4 controls. Update SCADA to correspond
with the logic in the new SEL-351-R4 controls. The CWVY 011A and 012A
feeder recloser controls were installed in 2003 and are early generation
SEL-351-R1 relays with the following issues: 1) the relay's firmware can no
longer be upgraded, 2) the Hot Line Hold OFF/ON function cannot be
implemented because it does not support a complete set of latches and
display points available in newer versions, 3) it uses a discontinued voltage-
based battery charging scheme that has had known issues in cold
temperatures (new versions use a more reliable current-based battery
charging scheme), 4) recloser controls are mounted in outdoor enclosures
and have a reduced life expectancy.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller will retain all, and Buyer will not
acquire any right, title or interest in any, Excluded Assets.

Contract or Permit constituting an Acquired Asset, or any other Acquired Asset, may not be
assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this

promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment
would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Acquired Asset in question so that

permitted by law and the Acquired Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to
obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law

and the Acquired Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such
benefits to Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.02 to the contrary, Buyer shall

by operation of contract or Law);
16
4914-3412-4175.2

arising out of, relating to or otherwise in respect of the operation of the Business or the Acquired
Assets to the extent such action relates to such operation on or prior to the Closing Date, but

$154,000,000.00 (the “Base Purchase Price”), plus, the Fixed System Asset Adjustment, plus the
Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, less, the Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment
(collectively, the “Purchase Price”).
(b) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will prepare
and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) containing its good faith
estimate, prepared with reasonable supporting detail or documentation to verify the Values
contained therein, of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), including its good faith
estimates of the Fixed System Asset Adjustment, the Construction Work in Progress Adjustment,
the Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment of the Business, and an allocation of the Purchase Price for
17
4914-3412-4175.2
each parcel of Tier One Real Property, which allocation shall be used solely for the purpose of the
Title Policies and shall not be binding on the parties for purposes of Section 7.02(c).
Section 2.06 Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price will be finally determined in
accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in this Section 2.06, Section 2.07 and
Section 2.08.
(b) If the Purchase Price, as finally determined, is greater than the Estimated
Purchase Price (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then within two Business Days following the
final determination of the Purchase Price, Buyer will pay to Seller the Excess Amount by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.
(c) If the Purchase Price, as finally determined, is less than the Estimated
Purchase Price (such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”), then within two Business Days following
the final determination of the Purchase Price, Seller will pay to Buyer the Shortfall Amount by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer.
(d) The Parties agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.06 will
be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, except to the extent otherwise
required by applicable Law.
(e) No adjustment shall be made to the allocated Purchase Price of the parcels
of Tier One Real Property pursuant to Section 2.05(b) after the Closing Date.
(f) An example calculation of the Purchase Price, provided for illustrative
purposes only, is set forth in Schedule 2.06 to illustrate how the Estimated Closing Statement is
reconciled with the Closing Statement to determine how any Excess Amount or Shortfall Amount
is calculated.
Section 2.07 Preparation of the Closing Statement. As soon as practicable, but no later
than 150 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the
“Closing Statement”) setting forth (a) Buyer’s calculation of the amount of the Fixed System Asset
Adjustment, the Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, and the Regulatory Liabilities
Adjustment, (b) the calculation of the Purchase Price therefrom, and (c) reasonable supporting
detail with respect to the calculation of each of the components of the Purchase Price. The Closing
Statement will be prepared by Buyer in accordance with GAAP. The Parties agree that the purpose
of preparing the Closing Statement and determining the Fixed System Asset Adjustment, the
Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, the Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment, and the final
Purchase Price under this Section 2.07 is to adjust for inaccuracies in the estimates in such
amounts, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments,
accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation
methodologies (collectively, “Accounting Changes”) for the purpose of preparing the Closing
Statement or determining such amounts. To the extent that (i) the accounting principles used to
prepare the Closing Statement are not the same as those used to prepare the Estimated Closing
Statement or (ii) any Accounting Changes have been made in connection with the Closing
Statement which were not used to prepare the Estimated Closing Statement, in each such case,
18
4914-3412-4175.2
adjustments shall be made to the Closing Statement to reverse the effect of any such Accounting
Changes and any changes in accounting principles. Notwithstanding any adjustment to the
foregoing items under this Section 2.07, the Closing Statement will be deemed issued as of the
Closing Date for purposes of determining the impact of any subsequent events on the Closing
Statement. In preparing the Closing Statement, no effect will be given to (i) the financing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other changes arising from or resulting as a
consequence of the financing of transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any purchase accounting
or other similar adjustments resulting from the consummation of such transactions.
Section 2.08 Disputes Regarding the Closing Statement.
(a) During the 60-day period following receipt of the Closing Statement (such
period, the “Dispute Period”), Buyer will provide to Seller such documents, books, records and
work papers as Seller may reasonably request to review the Closing Statement, including access
during normal business hours to Buyer’s, or its Affiliates’, personnel involved in the preparation
of the Closing Statement that are responsible for accounting, finance or senior management. On or
prior to the last day of the Dispute Period, Seller may provide written notice to Buyer disputing
the calculation of all or a part of the Purchase Price set forth in the Closing Statement (the
“Dispute”), setting forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts set forth in the Closing
Statement with which Seller disagrees (the “Dispute Notice”). If Seller does not deliver to Buyer
the Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, then the Closing Statement will be deemed to have
been accepted and agreed to by Seller in the form in which it was delivered and will be final and
binding on the Parties. If Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to Buyer within the Dispute Period,
then Buyer and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute within 30
days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, provided that all such discussions will be governed
by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and the corresponding provisions of state, local or
foreign Law. If Buyer agrees with Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Closing
Statement, then Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Dispute Notice will be
final and binding upon the Parties.
(b) If Buyer and Seller cannot reach agreement to resolve every element of the
Dispute within such 30-day period, then Buyer and Seller will jointly engage an accounting expert
to resolve the Dispute (the Person appointed pursuant to this Section 2.08(b), the “Accounting
Expert”). The Accounting Expert will be a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm
mutually agreed between Seller and Buyer. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on such
accounting firm, then either Buyer or Seller may request that the CPR International Institute for
Conflict Prevention and Resolution appoint a certified public accountant (having no conflict of
interest) who at the time is, or for at least five years formerly was, a partner (or in a position of
equivalent stature) in an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing,
to serve as the Accounting Expert. Each of Seller and Buyer will cooperate with the other Party
and the Accounting Expert and use its reasonable efforts to complete the engagement of the
Accounting Expert as promptly as possible.
(c) The Accounting Expert’s sole function will be to resolve each element of
the Dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice not resolved by Buyer and Seller (the “Disputed
Elements”) as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator, by determining in accordance with
this Agreement and with GAAP, whether and to what extent, if any, the calculation of the Purchase
19
4914-3412-4175.2
Price set forth in the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.07 requires
adjustment with respect to such Disputed Elements and, if so, the amount of any such adjustment
or adjustments.
(d) In resolving the Dispute, the Accounting Expert will limit its consideration
to (i) reviewing the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice, as supplemented by written
submissions of Seller and Buyer, which may explain their respective positions, and (ii) conducting
a conference at which each of Seller and Buyer may present additional documents, materials,
testimony and other information, and have present their respective advisors, counsel and
accountants at the conference; provided that Buyer and Seller will be limited by their positions set
forth in the Closing Statement and Dispute Notice, respectively, and the written submissions or
other materials submitted by Buyer and Seller or presented at the conference may not raise any
element that is not a Disputed Element. Any such conference may be held, in the discretion of the
Accounting Expert, by telephone conference, videoconference or in person. The Accounting
Expert may not conduct any independent investigation or review concerning the Disputed
Elements or any other matter. Each of Seller and Buyer will provide to the other Party and the
Accounting Expert any documents, books, records and work papers as such Party or the
Accounting Expert may reasonably request to review the Closing Statement and to resolve the
Dispute.
(e) Buyer and Seller will direct the Accounting Expert to as promptly as
possible, and in any event within 30 days after the date of its engagement, render its decision on
each Disputed Element in a writing to Buyer and Seller setting forth a written statement of findings
and conclusions, including a written explanation of its reasoning, a revised Closing Statement
reflecting its decision and a revised calculation of the Purchase Price based on its calculation of
Fixed System Asset Adjustment, the Construction Work in Progress Adjustment, and the
Regulatory Liabilities Adjustment.
(f) The Accounting Expert will be bound by this Agreement and may not revise
any element of the Closing Statement that is not disputed by the Parties or assign a value to any
Disputed Element of the Closing Statement greater than the greatest value for such item claimed
by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The process
set forth in this Section 2.08 will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for any Dispute. Each of
the Accounting Expert’s decision, the revised Closing Statement, and the revised calculation of
the Purchase Price, absent fraud or manifest error, will be final and binding upon the Parties, and
judgment may be entered on the award. The Accounting Expert may not and will not have authority
or jurisdiction to resolve or decide any matter or dispute other than, as provided in and in
accordance with this Section 2.08, resolving the Dispute by determining whether and to what
extent, if any, the Closing Statement and resulting calculation of the Purchase Price should be
revised with respect to any elements or amounts of the Closing Statement subject to the Dispute.
Any other dispute or matter arising under or with respect to this Agreement (including any dispute
over whether any claim, issue, element or amount is within the authority of the Accounting Expert
to determine) will be reserved for and determined by a court specified in Section 11.08.
(g) Seller and Buyer will share the fees and expenses of the Accounting Expert
in inverse proportion to the relative amounts subject to the Dispute determined in favor of such
Party, in accordance with the following formulas: (i) Buyer will pay a portion of such fees and
20
4914-3412-4175.2
expenses equal to the total fees, costs and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Seller and the denominator
of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute, and (ii) Seller will pay a portion of such
fees, costs and expenses equal to the total fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Buyer and the denominator
of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of
Buyer and Seller will pay the fees, costs and expenses of their respective attorneys, accountants
and other representatives in connection with the Dispute.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER
Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that, except as set forth in the disclosure schedules
delivered by Seller to Buyer concurrently with this Agreement (collectively, the “Disclosure
Schedule”), the statements contained in this Article 4 are true and correct as of the Effective Date
and are expressly remade as of the Closing Date (except for those representations and warranties
that address matters as of a specified date, which are made with respect to such date). Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that: (a) inclusion of information in any section of the Disclosure
Schedule will not be construed as an admission that such information is material; (b) matters
reflected in any section of the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required
by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule and such additional matters are set
forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature;
and (c) if any section of the Disclosure Schedule lists an item or information, and the relevance of
such item or information to another section of the Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent, then
the matter will be deemed to have been disclosed in such other section of the Disclosure Schedule,
notwithstanding the omission of an appropriate cross-reference to such other section.
Section 4.01 Existence and Power. Seller is a corporation duly incorporated and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Idaho. Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority
to carry on the Business as it is currently conducted, to own, lease and operate the Acquired Assets
where such Acquired Assets are now owned, leased or operated, as applicable, to enter into the
Transaction Agreements, and to consummate the Transactions. Seller is duly qualified or licensed
to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the Acquired Assets or the
nature of the Business makes such qualification or license necessary, except in any jurisdictions in
which the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed or in good standing would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Business or the Acquired Assets.
Section 4.02 Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by
Seller of the Transaction Agreements, and the consummation by Seller of the Transactions at the
Closing, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller.
Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer, this
Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller
in accordance with its terms and conditions, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

have been duly made or obtained, as applicable, (b) all filings, expirations or terminations of
waiting periods, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under, and
other applicable requirements of, the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law have been
made, satisfied, or received, as applicable, and (c) all Regulatory Approvals have been received,
neither the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of the Transaction Agreements, nor the
consummation by Seller of the Transactions at the Closing (i) violates any provision of the
Organizational Documents of Seller, (ii) violates any Law or any applicable Order, or (iii) except
as set forth in Section 4.03 of the Disclosure Schedule, with or without the passage of time or the

termination or right of termination, or requires any consent under, or results in the creation of any
Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) upon any Acquired Asset pursuant to, any
Material Contract, except, in each of clauses (ii) and (iii), where the violation, breach, default,
failure to obtain consent or creation of such Encumbrance would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.03, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall have the
same meaning as “Material Adverse Effect” as defined in Section 1.01, but specifically excluding
those items listed in (i)(H) and (I) in said definition.
Section 4.04 Governmental Authorization. Except as set forth in Section 4.04 of the
Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery by Seller of the Transaction Agreements, and the
consummation by Seller of the Transactions at the Closing, require no action by or in respect of,
or filing with, any Governmental Body, except where the failure to obtain such action or make
such filing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.04, the
term “Material Adverse Effect” shall have the same meaning as “Material Adverse Effect” as
defined in Section 1.01, but specifically excluding those items listed in (i)(H) and (I) in said

24
4914-3412-4175.2
(c) All material Taxes that Seller is required to have collected or withheld

nonpayment of maintenance fees.
(b) Seller owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Seller Intellectual
Property, subject to licenses granted by Seller to Third Parties and any Permitted Encumbrances;
provided that this representation does not constitute a representation or warranty regarding
infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any Third Party Intellectual Property, which is
addressed solely in Section 4.09(d) below.
(c) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements and the
consummation of the Transactions will not cause the loss of any Seller Intellectual Property or
grant any Person new or additional rights under any Seller Intellectual Property, except as set forth
in Section 7.15.
(d) Except as set forth in Section 4.09 of the Disclosure Schedule, to the
Knowledge of Seller: (i) in the last two years, Seller has not received any written claim or notice

or interruption in or to the conduct of the Business.
(g) Seller collects, stores, and processes Transferred Personal Data in
accordance with Applicable Privacy and Data Security Laws. To the Knowledge of Seller, no
Proceeding is currently pending against Seller alleging any violation of any Applicable Privacy
and Data Security Laws by or on behalf of Seller. Seller uses commercially reasonable measures
to protect against, detect, and remediate threats or hazards to the security and integrity of the
Transferred Personal Data.
The representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.09 constitute the sole and exclusive
representations and warranties of Seller with respect to Intellectual Property and data privacy and
security matters.

The Contracts listed in Section 4.10 of the Disclosure Schedule are referred to in this Agreement
as the “Material Contracts”. Seller has made available to Buyer a true and complete copy of each
Material Contract.
(b) All of the Material Contracts are valid and binding on Seller and currently
in full force and effect. Seller is not in material default under any of the Material Contracts, and
no event has occurred that, through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a material default by Seller or give rise to a right of termination or cancellation by
another party under any of the Material Contracts. To the Knowledge of Seller, no other Person is
in breach or default under any of the Material Contracts. Seller has received no written notice from,
and has no Knowledge that, a Third Party intends to cancel or terminate any Material Contract or

federal, state or local governmental authorities for its operation of the System, in its own name, (i)

sanction or liability for violation of any Law or Order relating to any Necessary Permits.
Section 4.12 Proceedings and Orders. Neither the Business nor any of the Acquired
Assets are subject to any outstanding Order, and there is no material pending Proceeding or, to the

Section 4.13 Real Property.
(a) Seller’s Business is conducted using facilities located on real property. All
electrical substation facilities used in the provision of the System electric distribution and
transmission services are located on real property that is (i) wholly owned by Seller in a fee simple
estate (the “Owned Real Property”), or (ii) held by Seller under an easement (each, an “Electrical
Substation Easement”). The Owned Real Property and Electrical Substation Easements are
collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Tier One Real Property”. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Lime
substation shall be a Tier Two Real Property (as defined below) and shall be treated as, and deemed
to be, a Tier Two Real Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lime substation has been
decommissioned and is not included in the defined term, Electrical Substation Easement. To
Seller’s Knowledge, Section 4.13(a) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the true and correct
address (if available) and GPS coordinates (if available) in all material respects of each parcel of
Tier One Real Property.

wires, fuses, switches, conductors and conduit, service transformers, pole-mounted switches,
regulators and equipment, corrosion protection fittings and equipment, telemetering and
communications equipment, protective equipment, and meters, used in the provision of the System
electric distribution and transmission services are located on real property for which Seller has a
lawful and enforceable right of way necessary for the placement, maintenance, repair, relocation,
and replacement of, and access to and from, such facilities (such right of way is referred to in this
Agreement as “Tier Two Real Property”), except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
materially interfere with the current use of the Tier Two Real Property by the Business, and would
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. To Seller’s Knowledge, Section
4.13(b) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and correct description of the location and GPS
coordinates (if available) in all material respects of each parcel of Tier Two Real Property. The
Tier One Real Property and Tier Two Real Property are referred to in this Agreement collectively
as the “Real Property”. The Tier One Real Property and the Tier Two Real Property are mutually
exclusive.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 4.13(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) Seller
has good and valid fee simple title to the Owned Real Property, free and clear of Encumbrances
other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) such Permitted Encumbrances do not, individually or in
the aggregate, materially interfere with the current use of the Owned Real Property by the
Business, and are not likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) Seller has not granted to any
Person any right to use or occupy the Owned Real Property or any material portion thereof that
remains in effect as of the Effective Date, (iv) other than the rights of Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement, Seller has not granted any outstanding options, rights of first offer, rights of first
refusal or other similar rights in favor of any Person to purchase the Owned Real Property or any
portion thereof or interest therein, in each case that remains in effect as of the Effective Date or as
of the Closing Date, as applicable, and (v) with respect to the Business, Seller is not a party to any
binding Contract or option to purchase any real property or interest solely used for the benefit of
the Business, other than as set forth on Section 4.13(c) of the Disclosure Schedule. For purposes
of this Section 4.13(c), “Permitted Encumbrances” shall include (A) Encumbrances for Taxes not
28
4914-3412-4175.2
yet due and payable or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (B) statutory
Encumbrances of landlords and in favor of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics and materialmen
incurred in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet due and payable or which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (C) easements, covenants, rights-of-way,
restrictions, encroachments and other similar matters of record that do not, individually or in the
aggregate, materially interfere with the current use of the Owned Real Property by the Business,
and (D) zoning, entitlement and other land use and environmental regulations by any
Governmental Body. The Owned Real Property includes all of Seller’s estate right, title and
interest in the respective Owned Real Property, including, to the extent such exists or is applicable:
(1) all tenements, hereditaments, appurtenances, water rights, easements, covenants, permits,
approvals, entitlements escrows, development rights and other rights arising from or appertaining
to the land; and (2) all structures, fixtures, systems, improvements, water and sewer utility
connections, topsoil, trees, shrubbery and landscaping situated on, in or under or used in

scope of each Electrical Substation Easement permits use by the grantee including those used by
Seller in the Business; (ii) Seller has not received any written notice alleging any material breach
or material default that remains uncured under the Electrical Substation Easements and, to the
Knowledge of the Seller, there exists no material default by any party, including the servient estate
holder, under the Electrical Substation Easements; (iii) to Seller’s Knowledge, Seller has the right
to assign its interest under the Electrical Substation Easements to Buyer without the necessity of
obtaining any Third Party’s consent (including any servient estate holder); and, (iv) with respect
to the Business, Seller is not a party to any binding Contract or option to purchase any real property
interest similar to the Electrical Substation Easements expected to be solely used for the benefit of
the Business.
(e) None of the Real Property is the subject of any pending condemnation or
eminent domain action of which Seller has received written notice, and no such action has been
threatened in writing. To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no written proposal under consideration
by a Governmental Body to take or use any material portion of the Real Property. To the
Knowledge of Seller, the Owned Real Property and all improvements located thereon comply with
all existing subdivision, land use, and zoning ordinances, regulations and restrictions in all material
respects. To the Knowledge of Seller, none of the Owned Real Property is, or within the past two
years has been, in material violation of any zoning regulation, building restriction, restrictive
covenant, ordinance or other Law, except for such violations that have been cured or resolved.
Seller has not received any written notice alleging any such material violation that remains
outstanding as of the Effective Date.
(f) Except as set forth in Section 4.13(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, the
continued maintenance and operation of Business facilities located on the Real Property as
currently maintained and operated are not, in any material respect, dependent on facilities located
at any property not included in the Real Property (other than customary services provided by third-
party utilities or service providers), and, to the Knowledge of Seller, the continued maintenance
and operation of any Business facilities not included in the Real Property are not, in any material
respect, dependent on facilities located on the Real Property. To the Knowledge of Seller, no
building or other improvement not part of the Real Property relies on the Real Property, or any
29
4914-3412-4175.2
part thereof or interest therein, to comply with or fulfill any Law in any manner that materially
interferes with the current use of the Real Property by the Business, and no building or other
improvement on the Real Property relies on any property not included in the Real Property to
comply with or fulfill any Law in any manner that is material to the current use of the Real Property
by the Business. All of the Acquired Assets used or held for use in the Business which are affixed
to real property are entirely located on the Real Property, except for such cases as do not,
individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the use of such Acquired Assets by the
Business as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 4.13(f) of the Disclosure Schedule,
all buildings or improvements located on the Real Property, lie, in all material respects, within the
boundaries of such Real Property and, to the Knowledge of Seller, do not, in any material respect,
encroach on an easement or property owned by another Person, and, to the Knowledge of Seller,
no building or improvement owned or used by another Person materially encroaches on the Owned
Real Property.

to be material to the Business, taken as a whole, or which may be transferred from Seller to Buyer,

years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, each with respect to the Business (collectively, the
“Seller Financial Information”), which Seller Financial Information has been extracted from the
financial records of Seller. The publicly available financial statements of Seller are subject to audit
and fairly and accurately present the financial condition and results of operations of Seller. The
Seller Financial Information has been prepared under Seller’s internal control frameworks and
accounting processes and represents Seller’s estimates of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities
of the Business as of the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial
information. Seller made estimates and assumptions when preparing the Seller Financial
Information. Such estimates and assumptions include, among others, allocations of certain
31
4914-3412-4175.2
revenues and expenses to the Oregon service area. These estimates and assumptions affected the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the Seller Financial Information and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the related reporting periods. These estimates
involved Seller’s reasonable judgments with respect to, among other things, the Oregon service
area’s share of Seller’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, which could differ from actual
amounts.
Section 4.19 Employee Benefit and Employment Matters. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements to which Seller is a party, nor
compliance with any provision hereof or thereof, nor consummation of the Transactions will
(i) violate any collective bargaining agreements between Seller and each employee of Seller who
is primarily employed in the operation of the Business or (ii) violate any deferred compensation,
profit-sharing, welfare, retirement or pension plans, retiree medical plans, incentive plans, material
bonus plans or other material employee benefit or fringe benefit plans, including “employee
pension benefit plans” under ERISA, maintained or with respect to which contributions are made
by Seller in respect of its employees primarily employed in the operation of the Business.
Section 4.20 No Other Representations. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 4 OR IN THE BILL OF
SALE, THE REAL PROPERTY DEEDS, THE REAL PROPERTY AFFIDAVITS, OR THE
SELLER’S OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE (WHICH, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ARE
QUALIFIED BY ANY RELATED ITEM IN THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE), SELLER IS
NOT MAKING AND WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, NOR WILL SELLER (OR
ANY OTHER PERSON) HAVE OR BE SUBJECT TO ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF,
RELATING TO OR RESULTING FROM, IN EACH CASE, ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO NON-INFRINGEMENT,
MERCHANTABILITY OR SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE), INCLUDING ANY STATEMENTS, DOCUMENTS, PROJECTIONS OR OTHER
INFORMATION OF ANY TYPE PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE BY OR ON BEHALF
OF SELLER (INCLUDING ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS), AS TO THE
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION REGARDING SELLER, THE
BUSINESS, THE ACQUIRED ASSETS OR THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES, INCLUDING
SELLER’S BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, ASSETS (INCLUDING THE
CONDITION, VALUE, QUALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY ASSETS, WHETHER
TANGIBLE, INTANGIBLE OR MIXED) AND LIABILITIES (ANY OF THE FOREGOING,
AN “EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENT”). EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 4 OR IN THE BILL OF
SALE, THE REAL PROPERTY DEEDS, THE REAL PROPERTY AFFIDAVITS, OR THE
SELLER’S OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE, SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND
NEGATES ANY EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENT.

incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Oregon. Buyer is
duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each other

Section 5.02 Corporate Authorization. Buyer has the requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on its business as it is currently conducted, to enter into the Transaction
Agreements, and to consummate the Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance by
Buyer of the Transaction Agreements, and the consummation by Buyer of the Transactions, have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Buyer. Assuming the due

(other than a Permitted Encumbrance) upon Buyer’s assets under, any of the terms of any Contract
to which Buyer is a party, or (iii) violate any Law or any Order applicable to Buyer.

Section 5.05 Compliance with Laws; Permits. Buyer is in compliance with all Laws in
all material respects. Buyer currently holds, or at the Closing will hold, the Necessary Permits.
There are no actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, threatened, that would result in the
termination, revocation, suspension or restriction of, or failure to obtain at the Closing, any
Necessary Permits or the imposition of any fine, penalty or other sanction or liability for violation
of any Law or Order relating to any Necessary Permits.
Section 5.06 Proceedings and Orders. Buyer (a) is not subject to any outstanding Order
or (b) is not a party to any pending Proceeding or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, threatened
Proceeding, that would, in any case, prohibit or materially impair Buyer’s ability to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Agreements or to complete the Transactions in accordance with
the terms of the Transaction Agreements.
Section 5.07 Financing. Buyer has available sufficient funds, available lines of credit or
other sources of immediately available funds to enable Buyer to pay in full the Purchase Price, any
33
4914-3412-4175.2
post-Closing adjustment therefor and all transaction expenses payable by it and perform and pay
in full all of the obligations assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including the Assumed
Liabilities.
Section 5.08 Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions: (a) Buyer

ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING AND WILL NOT BE
DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, NOR WILL SELLER (OR ANY OTHER PERSON) HAVE OR

RELYING ON, ANY EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENT. EACH OF BUYER AND ITS
AFFILIATES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ANY AND ALL
RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH, AND RELEASES
SELLER AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF, THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR MATERIALITY OF ANY EXTRA-

ARTICLE 6
PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS
Section 6.01 Certain Efforts. During the period between the Effective Date and the earlier
to occur of the termination of this Agreement under Article 10 or the Closing (such period, the
“Pre-Closing Period”), each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable
to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable.
34
4914-3412-4175.2
Section 6.02 Antitrust Matters.
(a) On the terms set forth herein, during the Pre-Closing Period, each of Buyer
and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make promptly any required submissions
and filings under Antitrust Laws regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
(ii) promptly furnish information required in such submissions and filings under such Antitrust
Laws, (iii) keep the other Party reasonably informed regarding the status of any such submissions
and filings under Antitrust Laws, including regarding (A) the receipt of any non-action, action,
clearance, consent, approval or waiver, (B) the expiration of any waiting period, (C) the
commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any Proceeding under Antitrust
Laws, and (D) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised
under Antitrust Laws regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) obtain all actions
or non-actions, approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other
confirmations from any Governmental Body or Third Party necessary, proper or advisable under

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 6.02(a), during the Pre-
Closing Period, each of Buyer and Seller: (i) will, or will cause its Affiliates to, no fewer than 45
days before the Anticipated Regulatory Approval Date (or, if no such date can be mutually agreed
by the Parties, no later than ten Business Days after the date on which the last Regulatory Approval,
other than those required under applicable Antitrust Laws, is received), make the initial filings
required by it under the HSR Act regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii)
will, or will cause its Affiliates to, provide as soon as practicable any additional information and
documentary material that may be requested under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust
Law and make all subsequent filings and submissions required under the HSR Act or any other
applicable Antitrust Law, (iii) will provide to the other Party’s counsel such information as each
may reasonably request, and as may be appropriate under Antitrust Laws relative to its business,
assets and property as required of each to file any additional information requested by
Governmental Bodies under Antitrust Laws; (iv) will promptly notify the other Party of any
material or substantive communication made to or received by either Buyer or Seller, as the case
may be, from any Governmental Body regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and,
subject to applicable Law, if practicable, permit the other Party to review in advance any proposed
material or substantive written communication to any such Governmental Body and consider
incorporating into such communication the other Party’s reasonable comments in good faith, (v)
not participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Body in
respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry regarding this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other Party
in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body gives the other Party the
opportunity to attend, and furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence, filings and
written communications between them and their Affiliates and their respective managers,
directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, equityholders, agents or representatives, on one hand,
and any such Governmental Body or its respective staff, on the other hand, with respect to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (vi) will (and, if applicable, will cause
its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to) take all other actions to cause the expiration
or termination of the waiting period required under the HSR Act (including any extensions thereof)
as soon as practicable. Any provision of information, rights to participate, or consultations between
the Parties pursuant to the foregoing sentence may be made on an outside antitrust counsel-only
35
4914-3412-4175.2
basis to the extent required under applicable Law or as appropriate to protect sensitive business
information or maintain attorney-client or other privilege; provided, that Seller or Buyer, as
applicable, may redact materials to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns and to
remove references concerning the valuation of the Acquired Assets. Buyer will pay all filing fees
under the HSR Act and all other Antitrust Laws regarding the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(c) In furtherance of Section 6.02(a) and Section 6.02(b) and not in limitation
of either such Section, (i) neither Buyer nor Seller will, and each will cause their respective
Affiliates not to, extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or other
Antitrust Laws or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Body not to consummate the
Transactions, except with the written consent of the other Party and (ii) Buyer agrees to, and to
cause its Affiliates to, take all actions that are necessary or reasonably advisable or as may be
required by any Governmental Body to expeditiously consummate the Transactions, including (A)
selling, licensing or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell, license or
otherwise dispose of, any entities, assets, business, property or facilities of Buyer relating to the
Acquired Assets after the Closing or any entity, asset, business, property or facility of Buyer or
any of its Affiliates, (B) terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships, Contracts or
other obligations (other than terminations that would result in a material breach of any Contract
with a Third Party), (C) entering into new relationships, Contracts or other obligations with Third
Parties, (D) agreeing to any limitations on the ability of Buyer, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to
conduct its businesses or own any equity interests or assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full
rights of ownership of its businesses, (E) agreeing to any prior notice or prior approval
requirements imposed by a Governmental Body on Buyer, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (F)
accepting the imposition of any impediment on Buyer, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates under the
Antitrust Laws; provided, that Buyer will not be required to take any of the actions in the foregoing
clause (ii) unless such actions (y) are conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing and (z) would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer, after giving effect to the
Transactions. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “Material Adverse Effect”
means, with respect to Buyer, any Effect that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or
would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse on the business, properties, assets,
liabilities, results of operations, or financial condition of Buyer and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.
(d) In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other Proceeding by any
Governmental Body or other Person is commenced that questions the validity or legality of the
transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, the Parties agree to
cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to defend against such claim, action, suit,
investigation or other Proceeding and, if an injunction or other order is issued in any such action,
suit or other Proceeding, to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such injunction or other
order lifted, and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.
(e) Except for those matters disclosed on Section 6.02(e) of the Disclosure
Schedule, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, enter into any transaction, or any
agreement to effect any transaction (including any investment, merger or acquisition) that would
reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult, or to materially increase the time
required, to: (i) obtain the expiration and termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act
36
4914-3412-4175.2
applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) avoid the entry of, the
commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction,
temporary restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) obtain all
authorizations, consent orders and approvals of Governmental Bodies necessary for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 6.03 Third Party and other Governmental Body Consents and Notices. During
the Pre-Closing Period, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts, and will cooperate
with each other, to obtain the Third Party consents and deliver the notices required to consummate
the Transactions that are set forth on Schedule 6.03; provided that (a) except with respect to any
consent required under the Leases, for which Seller shall be fully and ultimately responsible, no
Party will be obligated to pay any consideration to any Third Party from whom consent or approval
is requested (other than de minimis amounts) and (b) no Party shall make any such filing or notice
without the prior written consent of the other Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer agrees
to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable assurances as to financial capability,
resources, creditworthiness or other qualifications as may be reasonably requested by any Person
whose consent or approval is sought hereunder.
Section 6.04 Access. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller will give reasonable access
(which may be limited to virtual access) during normal business hours to all of the books, contracts,
documents, records and senior management of the Business reasonably requested by or on behalf
of Buyer to Buyer’s duly authorized officers and employees (other than with respect to Taxes or
Tax Returns, which shall be governed by Section 7.02(b)), only to the extent such Persons are
bound by an agreement with Buyer with confidentiality and non-use terms applicable to such
information no less restrictive than those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided,
however, that Seller may limit or restrict such access if in the reasonable judgment of Seller, (a)
any applicable Law or confidentiality obligation requires Seller to limit or restrict such access, (b)
such access would cause competitive harm to Seller or the Business if the Transactions are not
consummated, (c) such access would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or other legal
privilege or (d) such access would unreasonably disrupt the operations of Seller or the Business.
Section 6.05 Operation of the Business. During the Pre-Closing Period, except as
otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions or to the
extent Buyer otherwise consents in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned, Seller will not:
(a) Transfers. Sell, lease (as lessor), transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the
Acquired Assets, other than Acquired Assets used, leased, consumed or replaced in the Ordinary
Course of Business and the sale of materials and supplies in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(b) Modification, Amendment and Termination. Modify, amend or voluntarily
terminate, or fail to use commercially reasonable efforts (excluding any obligation to offer or pay
any consideration therefor) to prevent any other party from voluntarily terminating, any of the
Assigned Contracts or any of the Necessary Permits without Buyer’s prior written consent, other
than (i) in the Ordinary Course of Business and provided such change does not cause any of the
Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits to have materially more onerous terms or conditions to
37
4914-3412-4175.2
Buyer, (ii) as may be required in connection with transferring Seller’s rights or obligations
thereunder to Buyer in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
provided such change does not cause any of the Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits to have
materially more onerous terms or conditions to Buyer, (iii) as may be required in connection with
Seller and Buyer obtaining the Required Third Party Consents, provided such change does not
cause any of the Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits to have materially more onerous terms
or conditions to Buyer, or (iv) following notice to Buyer, as may be required by a Governmental
Body, provided such change does not cause any of the Assigned Contracts or Necessary Permits
to have materially more onerous terms or conditions to Buyer;
(c) Additional Title Encumbrances and Title Imperfections. Grant or create any
lien, easement, encumbrance or title imperfection on any of the Acquired Assets, without the prior
written consent of Buyer, other than (i) in the Ordinary Course of Business to the extent consistent
with Prudent Utility Practices, provided such lien, easement, encumbrance or title imperfection
does not impose materially more onerous terms or conditions on Buyer’s use of the Acquired
Assets, (ii) those liens, easements, encumbrances or title imperfections that, if in existence prior
to the Effective Date, would have been Permitted Encumbrances, (iii) as may be required in
connection with separating the Excluded Assets from the Acquired Assets, provided such lien,
easement, encumbrance or title imperfection does not impose materially more onerous terms or
conditions on Buyer’s use of the Acquired Assets (for the avoidance of doubt, use of any standard
agreement or arrangement of Seller (e.g., a pole attachment agreement or arrangement), on
substantially the same basis available to qualified Third Parties, shall not be deemed to impose
materially more onerous terms or conditions on Buyer’s use of the Acquired Assets), (iv) as may
be required in connection with transferring Seller’s rights or obligations with respect to the
Acquired Assets to Buyer in connection with the Transactions, provided such lien, easement,
encumbrance or title imperfection does not impose materially more onerous terms or conditions
on Buyer’s use of the Acquired Assets, or (v) as may be required in connection with Seller and
Buyer obtaining the Required Third Party Consents, provided such lien, easement, encumbrance
or title imperfection does not impose materially more onerous terms or conditions on Buyer’s use
of the Acquired Assets;
(d) Ordinary Course. Conduct the Business other than in the Ordinary Course
of Business, in accordance with its past practices;
(e) Maintenance of Acquired Assets. Fail to maintain the Acquired Assets in a
state of repair and condition in accordance with past practices;
(f) Compliance With Laws. Fail to materially comply with any requirements
of Law, Prudent Utility Practices and contractual obligations applicable to the Acquired Assets
and the operations of the Business;
(g) Insurance Coverage. Fail to continue in full force and effect insurance
coverage on the Acquired Assets and the Business and in accordance with past practices;
(h) Maintenance of Books and Records. Fail to maintain all books and records
of Seller relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business
consistent with past practices; or
38
4914-3412-4175.2
(i) Tax Liens. Allow or cause a Tax lien to arise with respect to the Acquired
Assets or the Business, except Tax liens that are Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 6.06 Capital Expenditures Prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein during the Pre-Closing Period:
(a) Seller may make (and undertake any work contemplated by) Capital
Expenditures described on Schedule 6.06 (collectively, “Pre-Approved Capital Expenditures”) in
accordance with the relevant timelines (if any) set forth on Schedule 6.06.
(b) For all other Capital Expenditures to be made during the Pre-Closing Period
that are not Pre-Approved Capital Expenditures, Seller may make (and undertake any work
contemplated by) commercially reasonable Capital Expenditures in the Ordinary Course of
Business as determined by Seller in its discretion based on Prudent Utility Practices, provided that
(i) Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any estimated or scheduled Capital Expenditure of
$250,000.00 or more individually, or $1,000,000.00 in the aggregate over a consecutive six-month
period and (ii) Buyer shall, within ten Business Days of its receipt of such notice by Seller, respond
to Seller in writing as to whether such Capital Expenditure is, in whole or in part, approved or
disapproved, in each case as determined in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) (each such response by Buyer
to Seller, a “Capital Expenditure Determination”). In the event of Buyer’s disapproval of any
estimated or scheduled Capital Expenditure by Seller under clause (i) above, the applicable Capital
Expenditure Determination shall include a reasonably detailed statement setting forth Buyer’s
reasons for such disapproval and the portion of such Capital Expenditure of which Buyer
disapproves. To the extent Seller actually makes any Capital Expenditure which Buyer has
previously disapproved in a duly delivered Capital Expenditure Determination, such Capital
Expenditure shall be deemed a “Disapproved Capital Expenditure;” provided, that, only amounts
actually incurred by Seller in connection therewith shall be counted as a Disapproved Capital
Expenditure.
Section 6.07 No Solicitation of Other Bids; Non-Disparagement.
(a) Until the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the Closing, Seller will
not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, agent, or otherwise, solicit or initiate,
directly or indirectly, or encourage submission of inquiries, proposals, or offers from any potential
buyer directly and specifically relating to the disposition of the Acquired Assets or the Business.
The foregoing will not prohibit or be deemed to prohibit any action by or of Seller or any of its
Affiliates in connection with any potential transaction that principally concerns any businesses,
assets or securities of Seller or any of its Affiliates of which the Business or the Acquired Assets
are a part.
(b) Buyer will not, and will cause its Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents not to, make or publish any statement, whether oral or written,
that disparages or is reasonably likely to disparage Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, or any electric utility or other similar utility service provider.
Nothing in this Section 6.07(b) prohibits truthful statements required by law, regulation, subpoena,
or court order, or good‑faith statements made in connection with enforcing this Agreement.
39
4914-3412-4175.2
Section 6.08 Casualty Loss.
(a) Casualty Estimate. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to
Closing, any of the Acquired Assets suffers a total or partial Casualty (an “Event of Loss”), Seller
will promptly inform Buyer of the Event of Loss. As soon as practicable following any such
Casualty, Seller will provide to Buyer a detailed written estimate (the “Casualty Estimate”) setting
forth the estimated amount required to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s) and the
estimated time period for completion of such repair or replacement.
(b) Seller’s Election. Concurrently with the delivery of a Casualty Estimate
indicating that an Event of Loss has occurred, Seller will notify Buyer in writing whether Seller
elects to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s). If Seller elects to repair or replace the
damaged Acquired Asset(s), Seller shall promptly commence and diligently proceed to complete
the repair or replacement of the damaged Acquired Asset(s) in a good and workmanlike manner
at Seller’s sole cost, provided that Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the full cost of any Casualty
Repair Expense pursuant to the Fixed System Asset Adjustment or Construction Work in Progress
Adjustment, as applicable in Section 2.05, net of any insurance proceeds payable as a result of
such Event of Loss. If Seller elects to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s), such
damaged Acquired Asset(s) shall be restored in a manner substantially consistent with the
condition of the Acquired Asset immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Loss. Seller
shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such Event of Loss. If Seller elects
not to repair or replace the damaged Acquired Asset(s), then if the Casualty Estimate for such
Event of Loss in combination with the aggregate amount of Casualty Estimates for prior Events of
Loss that Seller has elected to not repair or replace exceeds two percent (2.0%) of the Base
Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount to limit the increase in the
Estimated Purchase Price and final Purchase Price due to Events of Loss to two percent (2.0%) of
the Base Purchase Price, in which case Seller will have no obligation to repair or replace the
damaged Purchased Asset as a result of such Events of Loss; provided that if the Casualty Estimate
for an Event of Loss in combination with the aggregate amount of Casualty Estimates for prior
Events of Loss, whether or not Seller has elected to repair or replace, exceeds five percent (5.0%)
of the Base Purchase Price (the “Casualty Loss Threshold”), in such case, Buyer and Seller shall
each have the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02(h).
Section 6.09 Disclosure Schedule Updates.
(a) On a periodic basis during the Pre-Closing Period, Seller may supplement
or amend its Sections of the Disclosure Schedule and deliver such supplemented or amended
Sections to Buyer, including with respect to any Effect.
(b) If any Effect to which such supplement or amendment relates results in
Buyer having a right to terminate this Agreement under Article 10 and the Closing occurs, or the
fact, occurrence, event, effect, change, circumstance or development to which such supplement or
amendment relates does not result in Buyer having a right to terminate this Agreement under
Article 10, then such supplement or amendment will be deemed to have amended the Disclosure
Schedule, to have modified the representations and warranties contained in Article 4, and to have
cured any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed
hereunder because of the Effect (and Seller will not have any liability to Buyer with respect to
40
4914-3412-4175.2
such amended or supplemented Disclosure Schedule on the basis of any misrepresentation,
inaccuracy or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder because of the
Effect).
(c) Between the Effective Date and May 31, 2026, and solely to the extent the
Closing has not occurred within such period, Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
provide Buyer with the unaudited financial information for the fiscal 2025 period using the same
form as set forth on Section 4.18 of the Disclosure Schedule and prepared consistently with past
practices; provided, that, if such unaudited financial information is not available for distribution
on or before May 31, 2026, Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such
financial information as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
Section 6.10 Title Commitment; Property Inspection.
(a) The Title Company has delivered to Buyer and Seller a current commitment
for standard coverage title insurance (which shall be updated as needed to reflect the amount of
the Purchase Price allocated under Section 2.05(b) for each parcel of Tier One Real Property) and
legible copies of all documents referred to therein as exceptions to coverage, committing to insure,
upon satisfaction of all requirements provided therein, the fee, leasehold or easement estate in the
Tier One Real Property to be conveyed by Seller to Buyer at Closing (collectively, the
“Commitment”). At Closing and in connection with the Commitment, the Title Company shall
issue Title Policies to Buyer in the form selected by Buyer; the premiums allocated to the standard
form of such Title Policies shall be paid by Seller, with the premiums allocated to any extended
form or endorsement coverage paid by Buyer. On or before Closing, Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to satisfy or remove those requirements contained in the Commitment to the
extent related to Seller, including, without limitation, those relating to good standing, subsistence
or authority of Seller. Within 30 days after (i) Buyer’s receipt of each Commitment or (ii) the
Effective Date, whichever is later, Buyer shall give specific written notice (the “Title Review
Letter”) to Seller and the Title Company of any matters affecting title to the Tier One Real Property
and disclosed in the Commitment which are disapproved by Buyer. The failure of Buyer to deliver
a Title Review Letter within the aforesaid period shall constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition
of title of the Tier One Real Property as shown in the Commitment, subject to the exceptions shown
thereon, excepting any (1) unpaid mortgages, judgments and monetary liens, recorded against the
Tier One Real Property, (2) any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens against the Tier One Real
Property (unless and to the extent of work done by or on behalf of Buyer), and (3) any taxes, sewer
and water charges, and assessments then due and payable or tax liens against the Tier One Real
Property (each, a “Liquidated Lien”; collectively, the “Liquidated Liens”), which Liquidated Liens
Seller shall satisfy at or prior to Closing. Buyer shall not be required to affirmatively object to
Liquidated Liens. If Buyer disapproves of any matter shown in the Commitment (“Title
Objections”) by delivering a timely Title Review Letter to Seller, then, within 15 Business Days
of receipt of Buyer’s Title Review Letter (the “Title Response Date”), Seller shall notify Buyer, in
writing, of any Title Objections which it either refuses to cure or is unable to cure in a manner
acceptable to Buyer. In the event Seller notifies Buyer on or before the Title Response Date of its
election not to satisfy or correct any or all of the Title Objections of which it is notified (or is
deemed to have elected not to satisfy or correct any or all of the Title Objections of which it is
notified) other than Liquidated Liens, Buyer shall, by notice to Seller on or before five Business
Days after the Title Response Date, elect one of the following: (a) waive such Title Objection(s)
41
4914-3412-4175.2
for all purposes under this Agreement, including the satisfaction or waiver of any applicable
conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 9.02 and with respect to claims for any Losses that
may otherwise be made pursuant to Section 8.01 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; or (b)
if the uncured title matter results in the failure to be satisfied of the condition to the Closing set
forth in Section 9.02(c), Buyer may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.02(g),
subject to Seller’s notice and cure rights provided for herein. At any time following Buyer’s
submission of the Title Review Letter, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain updated versions of the
Commitment (“Updated Title Documents”). To the extent that the Commitment shows new items
that were not previously disclosed in the Commitment issued to Buyer (“New Title Objections”),
then Buyer shall have the right to issue a new Title Review Letter raising the New Title Objections
within ten Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of the Updated Title Documents and Buyer shall have
the same rights with respect thereto as described above. The failure of Buyer to deliver any written
notice of disapproval of any New Title Objections within the aforesaid ten Business Days of
Buyer’s receipt of the Updated Title Documents shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of
the New Title Objections excluding any Liquidated Liens which shall be paid or satisfied by Seller
at Closing.
(b) Between the Effective Date and Closing, Seller agrees that Buyer, its
representatives and consultants shall have a continuing license to enter upon the Real Property to
inspect and perform engineering, environmental and any other feasibility studies as Buyer
determines in its sole discretion. Prior to entering on the Real Property, Buyer shall furnish to
Seller a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured for liability purposes in the
amount $1,000,000.00. Buyer shall provide Seller reasonable advance notice of the date and time
of Buyer’s planned inspections upon the Real Property and Seller shall have the right to be present
at any of Buyer’s inspections upon the Real Property and to require changes to the timing of
planned inspections if such proposed dates and times would be unreasonably disruptive to
operations of Seller, as determined by Seller in good faith. If Buyer disturbs the Real Property,
Buyer shall return the Real Property to substantially the same condition prior to the disturbance.
Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any and all claims of bodily injury or damage to property
(including the Real Property itself) arising out of Buyer’s inspections of the Real Property. Buyer
shall also indemnify Seller for liens which are filed against the Real Property by persons or entities
employed or contracted by Buyer to perform inspections or undertake any work whatsoever on or
behalf of Buyer on the Real Property.
ARTICLE 7
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
Section 7.01 General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is
reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each Party will take such further
action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the
other Party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.
Section 7.02 Tax Matters.
(a) At or after the Closing, all property Taxes and excise Taxes imposed in lieu
of property Taxes pertaining to the Acquired Assets will be prorated on the basis of the number of
42
4914-3412-4175.2
days of the relevant Tax year or period which have elapsed prior to the Closing Date, determined
without reference to any change of ownership occasioned by the consummation of the
Transactions. Seller will be responsible for that portion of such amounts relating to the period prior
to the Closing Date, and Buyer will be responsible for that portion of such amounts relating to the
period on or after the Closing Date.
(b) Seller and Buyer will cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested
by the other in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any Proceeding with
respect to Taxes relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business. Such cooperation will include the
provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any Tax Return or Tax Proceeding
and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information
and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no case will Seller be obligated to provide
any Tax Return (or any portion thereof) or any other books, records and work papers related thereto
of any “affiliated group” of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code (or any
similar affiliated, combined, consolidated, or unitary group or arrangement for group relief for
state, local, or foreign Tax purposes) that includes Seller or any of its Affiliates to Buyer.
(c) Within 120 days following the Closing, Buyer will prepare and deliver to
Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price plus other relevant items (including the Assumed
Liabilities) (the “Tax Consideration”) among the Acquired Assets for all Tax purposes, with such
allocation to be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation Schedule”). Buyer
and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in good faith any differences
with respect to the Allocation Schedule. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any such
differences within 30 days following Buyer’s delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller, then
Buyer and Seller may, for any Tax purpose, take inconsistent positions with respect to the
allocation of the Tax Consideration among the Acquired Assets (including any undisputed element
thereof), including for purposes of any applicable Tax Returns. If Seller does not object to the
Allocation Schedule prepared by Buyer, or Buyer and Seller are able to resolve any differences
within the 30-day period described above, the Parties agree to (i) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, each of their respective Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation
Schedule (or the Allocation Schedule as agreed to by Buyer and Seller), and (ii) unless otherwise
required by Law, take no position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule (or the Allocation
Schedule as agreed to by Buyer and Seller) on any applicable Tax Return (including IRS Form
8594), in any Proceeding before any Governmental Body, or in any report made for Tax, financial
accounting, or any other purpose.
(d) Any and all transfer, documentary, value added, sales, use, stamp,
registration or other similar Taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar
fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) arising from the Transactions (collectively,
the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer and shall be remitted by Buyer when due; provided,
however, that solely with respect to any real estate Transfer Taxes, each of Buyer and Seller shall
be responsible for fifty-percent (50%) of any such real estate Transfer Taxes. The party required
by applicable Law shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Transfer
Taxes (and the other party shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).
43
4914-3412-4175.2
(e) If, pursuant to Section 3.02(b)(i), Seller delivers an IRS Form W-9 at or
prior to the Closing, all amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or
any other Transaction Agreement to Seller shall be paid in full, without any deduction or
withholding.
Section 7.03 Confidentiality.
(a) The Parties agree that the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement will
continue in full force and effect and will be applicable to all Confidential Information (as defined
in the Confidentiality Agreement) exchanged in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Transaction Agreements or any of the Transactions unless and until the Closing has occurred.
For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Review” in the Confidentiality Agreement shall
be deemed to refer to the “Discussion” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement, and the
“Discussion” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement shall include the Transactions.
(b) Prior to the Closing and following the Closing, except as may be required
by Law or any Order, Buyer will keep confidential, use solely in connection with the Transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and not disclose to any Person all Confidential Information of
Seller concerning the Business and the Acquired Assets that was Known by, acquired by, or
disclosed to Buyer prior to the Closing, by using the same degree of care that was used to protect
the same information before the date of this Agreement, except that the foregoing obligation will
not apply to any information which (i) was, is now, or becomes generally available to the public
or the industry (other than by a breach of this Section 7.03), (ii) was disclosed to Buyer by a Third
Party not Known by Buyer to be subject to any duty of confidentiality with respect to such
information, (iii) was or is now used by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s other businesses, or (iv)
is independently developed following the Closing by or for Buyer or its employees without the use
of or reference to any Confidential Information.
Section 7.04 Records and Access. Each Party will retain for a reasonable period after the
Closing Date (and in any event for at least five years) the books, records (including, subject to
Section 7.02(b), Tax records), Contracts and documents of or pertaining to the Business, and,
subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations, will provide the other Party and its
representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) reasonable access thereto, during normal
business hours and on prior notice, for reasonable business purposes.
Section 7.05 Certain Payments or Instruments Received from Third Parties. To the extent
that, after the Closing, (a) Buyer receives any payment or instrument that is for the account of
Seller according to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer will promptly deliver such amount or
instrument to Seller, and (b) Seller receives any payment that is for the account of Buyer according
to the terms of this Agreement, Seller will promptly deliver such amount or instrument to Buyer,
as applicable. All amounts due and payable under this Section 7.05 will be due and payable by the
applicable Party in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account designated in
writing by the receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party hereby undertakes to
use commercially reasonable efforts to direct or forward all bills, invoices or like instruments to
the appropriate Party.
Section 7.06 Independent Investigation; Forward-Looking Statements.
44
4914-3412-4175.2
(a) Buyer acknowledges and covenants and agrees that: (i) it and its
representatives and Affiliates have undertaken their own independent investigation, examination,
and analysis of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business; (ii) it has
undertaken its own estimate of the value of the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed
Liabilities; (iii) it has had the opportunity to meet, virtually or otherwise, with Seller and its
representatives to discuss the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, including
the customers, suppliers, employees and other personnel, condition (financial and otherwise), cash
flow and operations of Seller with respect to the Business and prospects of the Business; and (iv)
it has undertaken such due diligence as Buyer deems adequate, including that described above.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any documents that are or were available for its review in
connection with its investigation will be deemed to have been made available to, and received by,
Buyer for all purposes if such documents were posted and made available to Buyer in the Data
Room on or before the Effective Date.
(b) In connection with its investigation described in Section 7.06(a), Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that Buyer and its representatives and Affiliates have received from or
on behalf Seller and its Affiliates certain estimates, budgets, forecasts, plans, capital improvement
plans and financial projections (“Forward-Looking Statements”), and Buyer acknowledges that (i)
there are uncertainties inherent in making Forward-Looking Statements and (ii) it is not relying
upon, and is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy
of, all Forward-Looking Statements so furnished to it and its representatives (including the
reasonableness of the assumptions underlying any Forward-Looking Statements where such
assumptions are explicitly disclosed). Neither Seller nor any other Person is making any
representation or warranty with respect to, or will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer, or
any other Person resulting from, the distribution to Buyer, or its use of or reliance on, any Forward-
Looking Statements.
Section 7.07 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any
claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be
brought against the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement. Except to the
extent named as a party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations
of such parties set forth in this Agreement, no past, present or future equityholder, shareholder,
member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, contractor, consultant, agent or
representative of any Party will have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise)
for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities
of any of the Parties or for any claim based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, no claim will be brought or maintained by Buyer or any other
Buyer Indemnified Party or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns against any
past, present or future equityholder, shareholder, stockholder, member, partner, manager, director,
officer, employee, Affiliate, contractor, consultant, agent or representative of Seller that is not
otherwise expressly identified as party to this Agreement, and no recourse will be brought or
granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or
inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of any Party set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto
or any certificate delivered hereunder.
45
4914-3412-4175.2
Section 7.08 Publicity. Except as otherwise required by Law (including any applicable
securities exchange rules), neither Party will, and will not permit any of its Affiliates,
representatives or advisors to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or make any other
public announcement, including any state or federal regulatory filing or any tombstone
advertisements, with respect to the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Nothing herein shall operate to prevent a Party from
supplying such information or making statements in order for a Party to satisfy its legal obligations
(prompt prior notice of which shall in any such case be given to the other Party)
Section 7.09 Bulk Sales. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any
bulk sales (including any tax clearance, bulk sale or successorship notice, or similar requirement),
bulk transfer, or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to
the sale of any or all of the Acquired Assets to Buyer. Buyer will be responsible for all Losses
arising out of the Parties’ waiver of such compliance.
Section 7.10 Transition Matters.
(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, in furtherance of the Transactions, the
Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith and use commercially
reasonable efforts to develop and begin implementing a mutually acceptable transition plan for the
migration and integration of the Business into the business of Buyer after giving effect to the
consummation of the Transactions and pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, subject to
compliance with applicable Law (the “Transition Plan”). The Transition Plan shall address the
matters mutually agreed to by the Parties. Such cooperation shall include each Party using
commercially reasonable efforts to take the following actions:
(i) promptly after the date of this Agreement, appointing a transition
manager whose primary responsibility would be to plan and execute such transition and manage
such Party’s transition team;
(ii) promptly after the date of this Agreement, reviewing the technology,
business operations and administration capabilities to be so transitioned or migrated, taking into
account any issues of separation arising from the Transition Plan;
(iii) establishing transition teams;
(iv) setting regular meetings of such transition teams during the Pre-
Closing Period; and
(v) making available appropriate knowledgeable business, operations,
administration and technology personnel and any other personnel reasonably needed for such
transition and migration planning; provided that all such activities shall be in compliance with
applicable Law.
(b) During the Pre-Closing Period, upon the written request of any Party, each
Party shall (i) through their respective transition teams, cooperate in good faith with the other Party
and use commercially reasonable efforts to review the schedules to the Transition Services
Agreement and (ii) negotiate in good faith any amendment, update or supplement to the schedules
46
4914-3412-4175.2
to the Transition Services Agreement that is proposed in writing by the other Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party’s obligation to effect the Closing shall be subject to any
such amendment, supplement or update being agreed to or entered into prior to or at the Closing.
(c) Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with Seller and use commercially
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist
and cooperate with Seller in doing, all things necessary to facilitate the provision of services under
the Transition Services Agreement. The Transition Services Agreement shall not be in effect for a
period greater than thirty-six months immediately following the Closing. The fees for services
provided under the Transition Services Agreement shall reflect the actual costs of Seller, including
overheads and benefits loading, consistent with Seller’s past practice, with respect to services
provided under the Transition Services Agreement without markup or profit margin.
(d) During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller may, but shall not be required to,
remove or redact from the Acquired Assets any confidential or proprietary data or information
(including, but not limited to, equipment configurations) not required to be delivered to Buyer
pursuant to Section 7.14; provided that if the removal of any data or information from any
equipment or system would materially impair the intended functionality of such equipment or
system as manufactured, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer prior to removal and cooperate with
Buyer in a commercially reasonable manner to: (i) identify impacted functionality, (ii) provide
reasonable information about required specifications relevant to maintaining such intended
functionality (without disclosing Seller’s confidential or proprietary data or information), and (iii)
maintain or restore such functionality as fully as reasonably possible.
Section 7.11 Transaction Impact Mitigation.
(a) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to minimize
negative impacts of the Transactions on affected System customers, including customer rate
impacts and the continuation, termination or modification of customer demand-side management,
energy efficiency, facilities charges, net metering, bill discount, low income weatherization,
community solar and other comparable programs, in each case to the extent within such Party’s
respective control and subject to applicable Law, including the terms and conditions of any
regulatory approvals, orders, authorizations, consents or other rulings of any Governmental Body
(including any state public utility commission) issued in connection with or otherwise pertaining
to the Transactions (collectively, the “Applicable Regulatory Orders”).
(b) Following the Closing, and to the extent required or permitted by, and
subject to, the Applicable Regulatory Orders, affected System customers shall convert to Buyer’s
rate methodology, including the cost allocation, rate design, and related ratemaking frameworks
set forth or contemplated therein.
(c) Except to the extent otherwise provided in any of the other Transaction
Agreements, to the extent any new metering, metering upgrades, or metering reconfiguration is
necessary to separate, for billing purposes, Idaho and Oregon customers as a result of the
Transactions or the implementation of the Applicable Regulatory Orders, the Party that bills and
collects the revenue resulting from the metered data (the “Billing Party”) shall be responsible for
all reasonable and documented costs of procuring, installing and commissioning such metering
47
4914-3412-4175.2
and any related systems and equipment required to enable such billing. The non‑Billing Party shall
reasonably cooperate with the Billing Party, at the Billing Party’s expense, in effectuating such
metering separation in accordance with the applicable Transaction Agreements.
(d) Nothing in this Section 7.11 shall require either Party to (i) take or omit to
take any action that would violate applicable Law or the Applicable Regulatory Orders,
(ii) concede any material position in any regulatory Proceeding except as required by the
Applicable Regulatory Orders, or (iii) commit to any specific rate, program design or ratemaking
outcome not required by the Applicable Regulatory Orders. For the avoidance of doubt, the
obligations in this Section 7.11 are intended to be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent
with, and subject to, the Applicable Regulatory Orders, and nothing contained herein creates any
third-party beneficiary rights.
(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the construction of that certain 500-
kilovolt transmission line by Seller and certain third parties from Boardman, Oregon to
Hemingway Substation located in Owyhee County, Idaho (the “B2H Project”) is intended and
necessary to serve customers in Oregon and anticipated to benefit the Business and the System.
(f) The Parties agree that if the balances of either or both of accounts 254402
and 254404 identified in Schedule 1.01(e) are greater than zero, Buyer shall credit all amounts in
such accounts to the applicable customers on a pro rata basis and the amounts contained in such
accounts shall not be retained by Buyer.
(g) Buyer hereby agrees that if Seller is not reasonably able to obtain consent
to assign its existing interconnection agreements with the owners of the projects identified in
Schedule 7.11(g) (the “PURPA Projects”) to Buyer, Buyer shall negotiate in good faith with the
owners of the PURPA Projects and use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into new
interconnection agreements (the “New GIAs”) with each of the PURPA Projects no later than the
Closing Date, each on substantially similar terms as the existing interconnection agreement that
each such PURPA Project has with Seller, and Buyer shall maintain its interconnection with each
PURPA Project in accordance with its corresponding New GIA for so long as Seller has a power
purchase agreement in effect with such PURPA Project. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in
writing of the termination of any power purchase agreement with any PURPA Project.
(h) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to,
promptly pay or deliver to Buyer (or its designated Affiliate) any monies, payments or checks that
have been received by Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing from customers, suppliers or
other business relations of the System to the extent that they are related to the System and are in
respect of an Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability hereunder. Buyer shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Seller (or its designated Affiliate) any monies, payments
or checks that have been received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the Closing (i) from
customers, suppliers, or other business relations of Seller to the extent that they are not related to
the System or (ii) from customers, members, suppliers, or other business relations of Seller or
Buyer to the extent that they are in respect of an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability hereunder.
The Parties agree to treat the ultimate recipient of any such monies, payments or checks as having
received the payment ab initio for all applicable tax purposes.
48
4914-3412-4175.2
Section 7.12 Prorations.
(a) With respect to each Owned Real Property, all normal and customarily
proratable items, including operating expenses, utilities, and assessments and other operating
expenses and fees, with respect to each Owned Real Property shall be prorated as of the
Measurement Time, with Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of the same
attributable to the period up to the Measurement Time (and credited for any amounts paid in
connection with the Business and attributable to the period on or after the Measurement Time, if
assumed by Buyer) and Buyer being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be,
for all of the same attributable to the period on and after the Measurement Time. For clarity, the
proration of personal property Taxes and real estate Taxes is addressed in Section 7.02(a).
(b) With respect to each Owned Real Property, the final readings and final
billings for utilities will be made by Seller as of the business day immediately preceding the
Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills with respect to its Owned Real Property
as of such date. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the Parties’ good faith and
reasonable estimate.
Section 7.13 Environmental Investigations and Reporting. Unless expressly required by
any Environmental Law or any Environmental License (in which case, Buyer shall notify Seller in
advance of any report or notification to any Governmental Body so as to permit Seller to have a
reasonable opportunity to examine and provide commentary on related records and evidence), or
with the prior written permission of Seller, Buyer shall not conduct any environmental
investigations on the Real Property or report or notify any applicable Governmental Body of the
discovery of any releases of Hazardous Substances at, on or under the Real Property prior to the
Closing Date and for two years following the Closing Date, whether discovered prior to or after
the Closing Date. This Section 7.13 shall survive the Closing Date for four years after Closing.
Section 7.14 Delivery of Business Records and Related Materials. Seller shall, to the
extent in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s possession, custody or control and subject to applicable Law
and contractual confidentiality obligations (with permissible redactions of competitively sensitive,
personal identifying or privileged information, which redactions shall be narrowly tailored and not
materially diminish the usefulness of the information), deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer
copies of the following items, in each case solely to the extent such items primarily relate to the
Business and in a format reasonably accessible by Buyer: (a) customer lists, data from operating
systems and information databases (including customer load data), books and records, meter
reading and service data, and operating and maintenance records; (b) environmental reports
relating to the Real Property; and (c) warranty information and engineering design plans, GIS
mapping data, blueprints and as-built plans and specifications and procedures. Such deliveries
shall be made on the Closing Date, and may be provided in electronic form (including native data
files) or hard copy; provided that Seller shall not be required to create or generate new information,
analyses or reports that do not already exist in the ordinary course. For clarity, Seller’s obligations
under this Section 7.14 do not extend to records that (i) do not primarily relate to the Business, (ii)
relate primarily to Excluded Assets (including any supporting work papers relating to Taxes
constituting Excluded Assets), or (iii) constitute information that is attorney-client privileged or
attorney work product (and no privilege shall be waived by any such delivery). The Parties shall
49
4914-3412-4175.2
cooperate in good faith to obtain any required third-party consents for the transfer of the foregoing
items, as applicable.
Section 7.15 Transitional Use of Seller Intellectual Property.
(a) Seller hereby grants Buyer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
royalty-free license to use Seller’s trademarks, trade names, logos, brand identifiers, copyrights,
and other intellectual property (collectively, the “Seller Intellectual Property”) for a period of three
months following the Closing (the “Transition Period”) solely as necessary to operate the Business
in the ordinary course and to facilitate the removal of the Seller Intellectual Property from the
Business and the Acquired Assets. Buyer shall not alter the appearance of the Seller Intellectual
Property or deviate from the manner in which the Seller Intellectual Property was used
immediately prior to the Closing. All goodwill arising from Buyer’s use of the Seller Intellectual
Property during the Transition Period inures to Seller.
(b) Buyer shall, during the Transition Period, use commercially reasonable efforts
to rebrand, remove, or replace the Seller Intellectual Property from the Business’s products,
services, materials, websites, packaging, domain names, and other customer-facing assets, and
shall cease all use of the Seller Intellectual Property no later than the end of the Transition Period.
Buyer shall not: (i) use the Seller Intellectual Property in a manner that suggests ongoing affiliation
with Seller during or after the Transition Period; (ii) register, apply to register, or maintain any
domain name, social media handle, or corporate name incorporating the Seller Intellectual
Property; or (iii) challenge or assist any Third Party in challenging Seller’s rights in the Seller
Intellectual Property. Upon expiration of the Transition Period, Buyer shall promptly discontinue
all use of the Seller Intellectual Property and, at Seller’s request, certify in writing its compliance
with this paragraph.
(c) Nothing in this provision conveys to Buyer any ownership or other rights in
or to the Seller Intellectual Property beyond the limited license expressly set forth herein, and
Seller reserves all rights not expressly granted. Seller may terminate the foregoing license upon
written notice to Buyer in the event of Buyer’s material breach of this provision that remains
uncured for ten days after written notice thereof.
ARTICLE 8
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.01 Indemnification of Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
8, Seller will indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
and equityholders (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses
proximately caused by the following:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this
Agreement (other than any Seller Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation);
(b) any breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation;
(c) any breach of any Tax Representation;
50
4914-3412-4175.2
(d) any breach by Seller of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by
Seller in this Agreement; or
(e) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability.
Section 8.02 Indemnification of Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
8, Buyer will indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
and equityholders (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses
proximately caused by the following:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this
Agreement (other than any Buyer Fundamental Representation);
(b) any breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation;
(c) any breach by Buyer of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by
Buyer in this Agreement; or
(d) any Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability.
Section 8.03 Claim Procedure. In the event that any Indemnified Party desires to seek
indemnification under this Article 8, including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section
8.04, the Indemnified Party will give reasonably prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party,
specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, or
a good faith estimate of the amount of Losses asserted with respect to such claim and the method
of computation of such Losses (each such notice, a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the
failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim for
indemnification, it will notify the Indemnified Party within 45 days after its receipt of the
applicable Claim Notice, whereupon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will meet
and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to such claim for indemnification.
If the dispute has not been resolved within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party of its dispute under this Section 8.03, then the Indemnified Party may initiate
litigation in accordance with Section 11.08. The Indemnified Party will have the burden of proof
in establishing its right to indemnification and the amount of Losses suffered by such Person. Any
amounts payable under this Article 8 will be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price.
Section 8.04 Third Party Claims.
(a) Without limiting Section 8.03, in the event that any Indemnified Party
desires to make a claim against any Indemnifying Party in connection with any Proceeding of a
Third Party at any time instituted against or made upon such Indemnified Party for which such
Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”),
such Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim,
including by delivering a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto; provided,
however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party
51
4914-3412-4175.2
pursuant to this Section 8.04 and Section 8.03 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by
such failure.
(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense and
control of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice by providing written notice to the
Indemnified Party within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of such Third
Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume or continue
control of the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent: (i) the Third Party Claim relates to
or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding against the Indemnified Party; or (ii) the Third
Party Claim only seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party;
provided, further, that, notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, in no case will any Indemnified
Party be allowed to control any Proceedings with respect to a Third Party Claim involving Taxes
that constitute a Excluded Liability.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim
pursuant to Section 8.04(b), the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that no such consent
will be required if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages (including any expenses and
fees), (ii) the settlement does not entail any admission of liability on the part of the Indemnified
Party, and (iii) the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all
liability with respect to such Third Party Claim.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim
pursuant to Section 8.04(b), then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense
of such claim at its own expense.
(e) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party
Claim after receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to
Section 8.04(b), then the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim in such manner as it
deems reasonably appropriate and is consistent with the provisions hereof. The Indemnified Party
may not settle such claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(f) The Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith and in all respects with
the Indemnifying Party and its representatives (including its counsel) in the investigation,
negotiation, settlement, trial or defense of any Third Party Claim (and any appeal arising
therefrom), including by making records and personnel reasonably available to the Indemnifying
Party. The Parties will cooperate with each other in any notifications to and information requests
of any insurers.
Section 8.05 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) The respective Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover or assert
any claim pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.02(a) unless and until such Indemnified Parties
have incurred aggregate Losses for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification
52
4914-3412-4175.2
pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.02(a), as applicable, in an aggregate amount in excess of
three percent (3.00%) of the Purchase Price (the “Deductible Amount”) and then only to the extent
that such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Deductible Amount. The respective Indemnified
Parties will not be entitled to recover or assert any claim for recovery in excess of ten percent
(10.00%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”). The limitations on indemnification set forth in this
Section 8.05(a) will not apply to any claim made by: (i) in the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party,
pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d) or Section 8.01(e) or claims of Fraud
committed by Seller, or (ii) in the case of a Seller Indemnified Party, pursuant to Section 8.02(b),
Section 8.02(c), Section 8.02(d) or claims of Fraud committed by Buyer.
(b) The respective Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover or assert
any claim for an amount of Losses pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d),
Section 8.02(b) or Section 8.02(c), if, when aggregated with any amounts previously paid or to be
paid by the applicable Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 8, is in excess of the Purchase
Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the foregoing limitations on
indemnification set forth in this Section 8.05(b) will not apply to any claim made: (i) in the case
of a Buyer Indemnified Party, pursuant to Section 8.01(e) or claims of Fraud committed by Seller
or (ii) in the case of a Seller Indemnified Party, pursuant to Section 8.02(d) or claims of Fraud
committed by Buyer.
(c) The amount of any recovery by any Indemnified Party under Section 8.01
or Section 8.02, as applicable, will be reduced by the amounts recovered or recoverable by the
Indemnified Parties under any applicable insurance policies, contractual rights, including any
rights to indemnification, or other collateral sources as a result of the facts that entitled the
Indemnified Parties to recover from the Indemnifying Parties under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02,
as applicable. Each Indemnified Party agrees to make and diligently pursue all claims and to collect
any amounts recoverable under applicable insurance policies (other than self-insurance policies),
indemnification agreements, Contracts and similar rights and to seek recovery under all applicable
insurance policies, indemnification agreements, Contracts and similar rights for all Losses to the
extent such Losses are covered by such insurance policy, indemnification agreement, Contract or
similar right of such Indemnified Party. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made
by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which any Indemnified Party has been
indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery will be made
promptly to the applicable Indemnifying Party.
(d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY,
THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM FOR
INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 8 WITH RESPECT TO OR RECOVER, NOR
WILL THE INDEMNIFIABLE LOSSES HEREUNDER INCLUDE OR BE DEEMED TO
INCLUDE, (i) CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (REGARDLESS OF THE
CHARACTERIZATION THEREOF OR WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE), DAMAGES
CONSISTING OF BUSINESS INTERRUPTION LOSSES OR LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION
IN VALUE, DAMAGES COMPUTED ON A MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, BOOK VALUE,
DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW OR ANY SIMILAR BASIS, WHETHER OR NOT USED IN
ARRIVING AT THE PURCHASE PRICE, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR (ii) DAMAGES BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, WITH
RESPECT TO OR BY REASON OF THE BREACH OR NON-PERFORMANCE BY ANY
53
4914-3412-4175.2
INDEMNIFIED PARTY OF ANY OF THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
COVENANTS, OBLIGATIONS, OR AGREEMENTS TO BE PERFORMED BY SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(e) In no event will any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification for the
same Losses from more than one source. The Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover
any Losses relating to any matter arising under, or any facts and circumstances relating to or arising
out of, a provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Parties have already
recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement. If
a state of facts exists that would allow an Indemnified Party to seek recovery under both Section
8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(c), on the one hand, and Section 8.01(d), on the other
hand, then such Indemnified Party only may seek recovery for Losses under Section 8.01(a),
Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(c), as applicable.
(f) Each Indemnified Party will use, and will cause all other Indemnified
Parties to use, commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming
aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses, including by
(i) making and diligently pursuing all claims under and collecting all amounts recoverable under
any applicable insurance policies (other than self-insurance policies), indemnification agreements,
Contracts and other similar rights for all Losses to the extent such Losses are covered by such
insurance policy, indemnification agreement, Contract or similar right of such Indemnified Party,
(ii) incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy any breach or remediate any
other situation, and (iii) refraining from taking any action that might give rise to, or otherwise
encouraging or soliciting, any Third Party Claim.
Section 8.06 Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly provided in Section 11.12 and
except in the case of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification set forth
in this Article 8 will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, on the one
hand, and the Seller Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, for any Losses sustained or incurred
by such Persons or their successors and assigns in connection with this Agreement, the Bill of Sale,
the Real Property Deeds, the Real Property Affidavits, the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate or the
Buyer’s Officer’s Certificate, and each Party hereby waives, on behalf of such Party and the
Indemnified Parties affiliated with such Party and their respective successors and assigns all other
rights and remedies it may have hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise.
Section 8.07 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The
representations and warranties in this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations and
the Special Representations) will survive the Closing for a period of 12 months after the Closing
Date. The Fundamental Representations will survive the Closing indefinitely after the Closing
Date. The Special Representations will survive the Closing as follows: (a) Environmental
Representations will survive the Closing for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date; (b) Tax
Representations will survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to audits
for matters described therein; and (c) Financial Representations will survive until later of (i) 12
months after the Closing Date or (ii) the expiration of Seller’s first full audit cycle that concludes
after the Closing Date, provided, that, in no event shall the Financial Representations survive past
the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. The covenants, obligations and agreements of
the Parties will survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms or, if no such term is
54
4914-3412-4175.2
provided, for a period of 36 months after the Closing. After the end of the applicable survival
period, no claim for breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or
agreements, or claim for indemnification with respect thereto, may be brought, unless the
Indemnified Party gave written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party before the expiration of
such applicable survival period, in which case the right of the Party providing such written notice
to assert its right to indemnification as to the matters so noticed will not expire until the dispute is
resolved under the terms of this Agreement.

the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(c) by Buyer by prompt written notice if any of the representations or
warranties of Seller set forth in Article 4 are not accurate, or if Seller has failed to perform any
covenant or agreement on the part of Seller, as applicable, set forth in this Agreement (including
an obligation to consummate the Transactions at the Closing), such that the conditions to the
Closing set forth in either Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.02(b) are not capable of being satisfied as
of the Closing and the breach or breaches causing such representations or warranties not to be
accurate, or the failures to perform any covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured within
20 Business Days after written notice thereof is delivered to Seller, provided that Buyer is not then
in breach of this Agreement such as would cause the condition to the Closing set forth in either
Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.02(b) to not be satisfied as of the Closing;
(d) by Seller by prompt written notice if any of the representations or warranties
of Buyer set forth in Article 5 is not accurate, or if Buyer has failed to perform any covenant or

failure to deliver the Purchase Price contemplated by Section 3.02(c) at the Closing (or the date on

57
4914-3412-4175.2
(ii) such Order has become final and non-appealable after the Parties have sought to challenge
such Order with the applicable Governmental Bodies, including seeking relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction

Threshold, either Party may make a one-time election to delay Closing by a period of up to six
months (but not beyond the Termination Date), or such shorter period as mutually agreed upon by
the Parties, by giving written notice of such election to the other Party (a “Closing Delay Notice”),
and during such period, the other Party may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement
under this clause (h), provided, further, that if a Party exercises its termination rights pursuant to
this clause (h) and Closing has not previously been delayed pursuant to a Closing Delay Notice
under this clause (h), the non-terminating Party shall have three Business Days to deliver to the
terminating Party a Closing Delay Notice, and the terminating Party’s termination hereunder shall
not be effective unless the non-terminating Party does not deliver a Closing Delay Notice to the
terminating Party during such three Business Day period;

the Parties that Buyer sustained a Casualty during the Pre-Closing Period directly affecting,
damaging, or destroying Buyer’s assets or its operations directly resulted in Buyer sustaining
uninsured property damages of greater than $15,000,000.00 (a “Terminating Loss”), provided that
in the event of a Terminating Loss, either Party may make a one-time election to delay Closing by
a period of up to six months (but not beyond the Termination Date), or such shorter period as
mutually agreed upon by the Parties, by delivery of a Closing Delay Notice to the other Party and
during such period, Buyer may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement under this clause
(j), provided, further, that if Buyer exercises its termination rights pursuant to this clause (j) and
Closing has not previously been delayed pursuant to a Closing Delay Notice under this clause (j),
Seller shall have three Business Days to deliver to Buyer a Closing Delay Notice, and Buyer’s
termination hereunder shall not be effective unless Seller does not deliver a Closing Delay Notice
during such three Business Day period. To the extent Buyer asserts that a Terminating Loss has
occurred, Seller shall have the right to review all reports, findings and documents prepared or
issued by Buyer or any insurance adjuster relating thereto, and Buyer shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates and representatives to, timely deliver copies of all such documents to Seller for its
review; or
58
4914-3412-4175.2
(k) by Seller, if any Effect which has arisen on or after the Effective Date and
in whole or in part as a result of, or in response to, the Transactions, has had or would be reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on the B2H Project.
Section 10.03 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
10.02, then each of the Parties will be relieved of their respective duties and obligations under this
Agreement to the extent that such duties and obligations would otherwise arise after the date of
such termination and no Party will have any claim against or liability to any other Party, unless the
circumstances giving rise to the termination of this Agreement were caused by a Party’s willful
breach of a material representation, warranty, agreement or covenant set forth in this Agreement,
in which event termination of this Agreement will not be deemed or construed as limiting or
denying any legal or equitable right or remedy of the non-breaching Party. If, following the
termination of this Agreement, any litigation or other Proceeding is commenced by any Party to
pursue any legal or equitable right or remedy against any other Party whose willful breach of a
material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein results in the termination of this
Agreement, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs,
incurred by the prevailing Party in such litigation or other Proceeding will be reimbursed by the
losing Party; provided that, if a Party to such litigation or other Proceeding prevails in part, and
loses in part, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such litigation or other
Proceeding will award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Party on
an equitable basis.
ARTICLE 11

Section 11.07 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes and controversies
hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of
Oregon without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the
State of Oregon or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Oregon.
Section 11.08 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.
Section 11.09 Proceedings; Attorneys’ Fees. In any Proceeding (including any appeals)
between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, or
the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article
8, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and court
costs, incurred by the prevailing Party in such Proceeding (as determined by a final non-appealable
Order by a court of competent jurisdiction) will be reimbursed by the losing Party; provided that,
if a Party to such Proceeding prevails in part, and loses in part, the court, arbitrator or other
adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding will award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and
expenses incurred by such Party on an equitable basis. If a Party is entitled to indemnification for
the underlying claim and is also the prevailing Party under this Section 11.09, such Party may
recover its fees and costs either as indemnifiable Losses or as a fee award hereunder, but not both
to the extent that would result in a duplicative recovery. To the extent any fees and costs
recoverable hereunder are not recovered as indemnifiable Losses, such fees and costs shall not be
subject to the indemnification deductibles, baskets, thresholds or caps set forth in Article 8. A
Party’s failure or delay in seeking fees and costs under this Section 11.09 shall not constitute a
waiver of its rights, which may be sought by post-judgment or post-award motion within the time
permitted by applicable procedural rules, or as otherwise directed by the court, arbitrator or other
adjudicator.
Section 11.10 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement will be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by each Party. No waiver by any
Party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation or breach of
representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement hereunder, whether intentional or not,
will be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver, nor will
such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach
of representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement hereunder or affect in any way any
rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
Section 11.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or
unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of
61
4914-3412-4175.2
the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term
or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of the
Transaction Agreements or any other document contemplated by this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage
would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine;
and, therefore, the Parties will be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof and
thereof, without proof of actual damages (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), in addition to any other remedy
hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise.
Section 11.13 Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any amendments

EXHIBIT 1
Schedule of Charges
APPLICABILITY
The charges described below are applicable to firm capacity and energy delivered to
OTEC at Points of Delivery in Exhibit 2. Defined terms in the main body of this Agreement
have the same meanings in this Exhibit 1.
MONTHLY CHARGE
The Monthly Charge shall be the sum of the: (1) Billing Energy multiplied by the Energy
Rate, and (2) the Customer Administration Charge.
(1) Energy Rate:
The Energy Rate will consist of a Generation Plant Cost Component and a
Variable Net Power Supply Expense Component. The initial Energy Rate is
$60.51 per MWh of Billing Energy, comprised of a Generation Plant Cost
Component of $26.87 per MWh and Variable Net Power Supply Cost
Component of $33.64 per MWh. These components are equivalent to those
included in Idaho Power’s applicable Oregon tariff rate schedules (1, 5, 7,
9, 15, 19, 24, 40, 41, 42, 55, and 56). The Variable Net Power Supply Cost
Component of the initial Energy Rate is subject to modification to reflect any
changes resulting from the Oregon rate adjustment effective June 1, 2026.
Each component of the charge will be modified as reflected below.
Generation Plant Cost Component:
The Generation Plant Cost Component shall remain fixed at $26.87 through
May 31, 2028. Effective June 1, 2028, the Generation Plant Cost
Component shall be updated to $30.19 for the remainder of the Initial term.
The Generation Plant Cost Component will be reevaluated and modified if
OTEC exercises the Delivery Term Extension to determine cost for the
Agreement term of the extension.
Variable Net Power Supply Cost Component:
Beginning June 1, 2027, the Variable Net Power Supply Cost Component
shall be updated annually, effective every June 1, consistent with the
determination of Idaho Power’s Schedule 55—Power Cost Adjustment. It
shall consist of a per-unit forecast rate of total system net power supply
costs developed from the simulation of the economic dispatch of Idaho
Power’s generation resources for the April through March test year, as well
as a balancing adjustment rate that reflects differences between forecasted
and actual per-unit variable power supply costs.
Ancillary Services Charge: Included in the Energy Rate above:
The Ancillary Services Charge is imbedded in the calculation of cost of
service in the Energy Rate and will not incur a separate rate under this
Agreement. The Energy Rate includes all applicable ancillary services
AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY OF POWER AND ENERGY - 17
AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY OF POWER AND ENERGY - 18
required for this transaction that are provided by Idaho Power on its system
pursuant to the Idaho Power Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).

will be made in immediately available funds payable to the invoicing Party or by wire transfer to
a bank account specified by the invoicing Party. If any portion of any invoice remains unpaid 15
business days after the receipt of the invoice, or such other time as the Parties mutually agreed
upon, the invoicing Party will apply to the unpaid balance, and the other Party shall pay an interest
charge calculated at the legal rate of interest.
5.1.3 Disputes. If a Party disputes any portion of an invoice, the disputing Party shall
notify the invoicing Party in writing of any such dispute and the reason therefore. No invoice may
be disputed after such time as a Party’s audit rights have expired. Parties shall settle billing disputes
in accordance with this Agreement. In the event of a billing dispute, each Party agrees to continue
to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement as long as the other Party continues to
make all undisputed payments. Disputed payment resolution amounts shall bear interest at the legal
rate of interest for the period from the date of the invoice to the date of payment resolution.
5.1.4 Payment Not a Waiver. Payment of invoices by a Party will not relieve such Party
from any responsibilities or obligations it has under this Agreement, nor will it constitute a waiver
of any claims such Party may have under this Agreement.
5.2 Regulatory Changes. If any change in the Wheeling Service rates or regulatory
requirements becomes effective during the Term, OTEC may adjust the charges under this
EXHIBIT D
WHEELING AGREEMENT - Page 9
46653.0015.4931-0884-1103.1
Agreement to reflect such changes, consistent with Exhibit 4, effective as of the date required or
permitted by the regulator.
5.3 Setoff. Except as required by law, neither Party may set off or net any amounts owed under
this Agreement against amounts owed under any other agreement without the other Party’s prior
written consent.
5.4 Responsibility for Taxes. Each Party is responsible for its own income, franchise and
similar Taxes. IPC will be responsible for all sales, use, excise, energy, transmission, or other
transaction based Taxes, charges or assessments imposed on the Wheeling Service or Energy
transmitted for IPC’s account, except to the extent applicable law clearly allocates such Taxes to
OTEC.
5.5 Tax Exemptions. If IPC claims any exemption or reduced rate for Taxes, IPC will provide
OTEC with all required exemption certificates or documentation reasonably acceptable to OTEC
and the applicable Taxing Authority. OTEC will not be required to honor any claimed exemption
until such documentation is received and accepted.
5.6 Reimbursement. If OTEC is required to pay any Taxes, charges or assessments that are the
responsibility of IPC under this Agreement, IPC will reimburse OTEC promptly upon demand.
ARTICLE 6
CONFIDENTIALITY
6.1 General. Unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or other
provisions of law or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each Party will hold in
confidence any and all documents and information furnished under an explicit written claim of
confidentiality by the other Party in connection with this Agreement. To the extent either Party is
required by law or administrative process to release or disclose such information to a third party,
such Party shall advise the third party of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and use
its best efforts to require said third party to agree in writing to comply with such provisions.
6.2 Exempt Information and Documents. The Parties’ confidentiality obligations set forth in
Section 6.1 shall not apply to information or documents that are: (A) generally available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure by a Party (the “disclosing Party”) to the other Party; (B)
available to a Party on non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party; or (C)
available to a Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing Party,
provided that the source is not known and, by reasonable effort, could not be known by the Party
receiving such information or documents to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
disclosing Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Party receiving
such information or documents by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.
6.3 Notification. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if it receives notice or
otherwise concludes that the production of any confidential information or documentation
furnished by the disclosing Party and subject to Section 6.1 is being sought under any provision of
law or regulation. The notifying Party shall have no obligation to oppose or object to any attempt
to obtain such production except to the extent requested to do so by the disclosing Party and at the
disclosing Party’s expense. If either Party desires to object or oppose such production, it must do
EXHIBIT D
WHEELING AGREEMENT - Page 10
46653.0015.4931-0884-1103.1
so at its own expense. The disclosing Party may request a protective order to prevent any
confidential information from being made public.
6.4 Use of Information or Documentation. Each Party may use information or documentation
otherwise subject to Section 6.1 in an administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction
addressing any dispute arising under this Agreement, subject to a confidentiality agreement or a
protective order binding all participants including, if applicable, any arbitrator.
6.5 Remedies Regarding Confidentiality. The Parties agree that monetary damages by
themselves will be inadequate to compensate a Party for the other Party’s breach of its obligations
under this Article 6. Each party accordingly agrees that the other Party is entitled to equitable
relief, by way of injunction or otherwise, if it breaches or threatens to breach its obligations under
this Article 6.
ARTICLE 7
TERMINATION AND DEFAULT
7.1 Default. A Party will be in default under this Agreement if, at any time:
7.1.1 The Party fails to make any payment due the other Party in accordance with this
Agreement and does not make such payment to the other Party within 30 calendar days after
receiving written notice from the other Party of such failure; or
7.1.2 The Party: (1) (a) fails to comply with, observe or perform any material term or
condition of this Agreement; (b) any material representation or warranty made herein by the Party
fails to be true and correct in all material respects; or (c) fails to provide to the other Party
reasonable written assurance of its ability to perform fully and completely any of its material duties
and responsibilities under this Agreement within 30 calendar days after receiving a reasonable
request for such assurances from the other Party; and (2): (a) fails to correct or cure the situation
described in subpart (1) above within 30 calendar days after receiving written notice from the other
Party; or, if the situation cannot be completely corrected or cured within such 30-day period, (b)
fails to either: (i) commence diligent efforts to correct or cure the situation within such 30-day
period or (ii) completely correct or cure the situation within 90 calendar days after receiving
written notice from the other Party.
7.2 Remedies upon Default. If a Party is in default under this Agreement, the other Party may:
(A) act to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the defaulting
Party with fourteen (14) days’ notice, and/or (B) take whatever action at law or in equity as may
appear necessary or desirable to enforce the performance or observance of any rights, remedies,
obligations, agreements or covenants under this Agreement.
7.3 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred by any of the provisions of this Agreement is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute
a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

ARTICLE 8
FORCE MAJEURE
8.1 General. Neither Party shall be considered to be in default or breach of this Agreement or
liable in damages or otherwise responsible to the other Party, due to any delay in or failure to carry
out any of its obligations under this Agreement, if the Party is unable to perform or is prevented
from performing by an event of Force Majeure, as such term is defined in Section 8.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party may claim an event of Force Majeure for any delay
or failure to perform or carry out any provision of this Agreement to the extent that such Party has
been negligent or engaged in intentional misconduct or failed to exercise reasonable foresight and
such negligence or intentional misconduct or failure to exercise reasonable foresight contributed
to that Party’s delay or failure to perform or carry out its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. All performance obligations affected by the event of Force Majeure will be extended
for a period equal to the length of the resulting delay.
8.2 Force Majeure Defined. “Force Majeure” means those events beyond the reasonable
control of the Party claiming Force Majeure that, through the exercise of reasonable foresight and
Prudent Utility Practices, that Party could not have avoided and that, by exercise of due diligence,
that Party is unable to overcome. Such events include, but are not limited to, the following: flood;
lightning strikes; ice storm; tsunami; earthquake; fire; hurricane; tornado; war; invasion; riot; civil
disturbance; sabotage; explosion; insurrection; military or usurped power; strike; labor dispute;
restraint by any court order or Governmental Body, or any civil or military authority de facto or
de jure; act of God; or any other event or cause of a similar nature.
8.3 Procedures. A Party claiming Force Majeure must:
8.3.1 Give written notice to the other Party of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event
as soon as possible after learning of the occurrence of such an event;
8.3.2 Use due diligence to resume performance or the provision of service hereunder as
soon as practicable;
8.3.3 Take all commercially reasonable actions, subject to Prudent Utility Practices, to
correct or cure the Force Majeure event; provided, however, that settlement of strikes or other
labor disputes are completely within the sole discretion of the Party affected by such strike or labor
dispute;
8.3.4 Exercise all reasonable efforts to mitigate or limit damages to the other Party; and
8.3.5 Provide prompt written notice to the other Party of the cessation of the adverse
effect of the Force Majeure event on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Liability. Neither Party shall be liable for money damages or other compensation to the
other Party for actions or omissions taken in performing its obligations under this Agreement,
except to the extent such act or omission is found to result from the Party’s gross negligence,
EXHIBIT D
WHEELING AGREEMENT - Page 12
46653.0015.4931-0884-1103.1
intentional misconduct, or fraudulent acts, and in such circumstances the Party shall only for the
amount of direct damage actually incurred by the other Party. Direct damages for the purposes of
this Section 9.1 include any costs, penalties, or damages that IPC incurs under its PPAs or damages
from claims from Idaho Customers as a result of OTEC’s actions or omissions under this
Agreement. Neither Party may seek to enforce any claims against the directors, members,
shareholders, officers, employees or agents of the other party solely by reason of their status as
directors, members, shareholders, officers, employees or agents. In no event shall either Party be
liable to the other Party for any incidental, consequential, punitive, special, exemplary or indirect
damages, loss of revenues or profits, arising out of, or connected in any way with the performance
or non-performance under this Agreement, except as authorized by this Agreement. Nothing in
this Article 9 shall limit or modify the obligations, remedies, or liabilities set forth in Section 7.2.
9.2 Indemnification. Except to the extent limited by law, each Party (“Indemnifying Party”)
shall at all times indemnify, defend, and save the other Party (“Indemnified Party”) harmless from
and against, any and all damages, losses, claims, including claims and actions relating to injury to
or death of any person or damage to property, demands, suits, recoveries, costs and expenses, court
costs, attorney fees, and all other obligations by or to third parties, arising out of or resulting from
the Indemnifying Party’s performance of obligations under this Agreement, except in cases of
gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing by Indemnified Party.
9.3 Notice. If either Party receives notice of the commencement of any legal action relating to
or arising out of the operation of the Facility, the Interconnection Facilities, or OTEC System that
may affect the other Party, the Party so notified shall promptly inform the other Party of the
commencement of such legal action. Failure to so inform the other Party shall not relieve either
Party of any liability or obligations to the other Party.
9.4 No Duty to Non-Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any duty,
standard of care or liability to any person not a party to this Agreement.
9.5 No Public Dedication. No undertaking by either Party to the other Party under any
provision of this Agreement shall constitute the dedication of that Party’s electrical system,
equipment, or facilities or any portion thereof to the other Party or to the public.
9.6 Survival. Each Party’s obligations under this Article 9 will survive expiration, cancellation
or early termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10

its revisions. The Parties further agree that the rule of construction that any ambiguities are
resolved against the drafting Party will be subordinated to the principle that the terms and
provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to all Parties and not in favor of or against
any Party.
10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Exhibits or other appendices attached
hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any prior
understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the

10.3 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed or deemed to cause,
create, constitute, give effect to or otherwise recognize OTEC and IPC to be partners, joint
ventures, employer and employee, principal and agent or any other business association, with
respect to any matter. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing signed by both Parties, neither Party
shall have any authority to create or assume in the other Party’s name or on its behalf any
obligation, express or implied, or to act or purpose to act as the other Party’s agent or legally
empowered representative for any purpose whatsoever. Except as expressly provided for herein,
neither Party shall be liable to any third party in any way for any engagement, obligation, contract,
representation or any negligent act or omission of the other Party arising out of or relating to such
Party’s execution or performance of this Agreement.
10.4 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be valid
unless the same is in writing and signed by each Party. No waiver by any Party of any provision
of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty,
covenant, obligation or agreement hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be valid unless the
same is in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver, nor will such waiver be deemed to
extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty,
covenant, obligation or agreement hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of
any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

any Party, the other Party will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the other Party.
No Party will raise the use of a .PDF or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the
fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of a .PDF or
other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such Party forever
waives any such defense.

Exhibit E
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 1
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT
This Territory Allocation Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Oregon
Trail Electric Consumers Cooperative, Inc. dba Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative (“OTEC”), and
Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power”), each hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Party” or
together as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, OTEC and Idaho Power are each engaged in the sale of electricity to retail customers
located within exclusive service territories allocated to them by the Public Utility Commission of
Oregon (the “Commission”); and
WHEREAS, the exclusive service territories of OTEC and Idaho Power include areas that are
adjacent to each other in Baker County, Grant County, Harney County, and Malheur County, Oregon;
and
WHEREAS, ORS 758.410 allows utilities to enter into agreements to allocate territory and
customers and to designate which territories and customers are to be served by each utility; and
WHEREAS, OTEC and Idaho Power wish to modify their respective service territories such that
OTEC will annex Idaho Power’s entire exclusive service territory in the State of Oregon (“Annexed
Territory”); and
WHEREAS, a map and the legal descriptions [PLACEHOLDER] of the Annexed Territory, Idaho
Power’s Oregon exclusive service territory, and OTEC’s exclusive service territory are attached as
Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, subject to Commission approval, OTEC and Idaho Power further wish to permanently
transfer the Annexed Territory from Idaho Power’s exclusive service territory to OTEC’s exclusive
service territory; and
WHEREAS, a map and legal description [PLACEHOLDER] of OTEC’s exclusive service territory
and the Annexed Territory is attached as Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, on or about [Date], OTEC and Idaho Power, in order to ensure safe and reliable electric
service in the Annexed Territory, entered into an “Asset Purchase Agreement” in which OTEC will
purchase certain of Idaho Power’s assets necessary to service the Annexed Territory as described
therein. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C; and
WHEREAS, the Parties, in furtherance of the Policy of Oregon as stated in ORS 758.405, believe
that allocating the territories and customers as provided for in this Agreement will 1) eliminate or
avoid unnecessary duplication of utility facilities, 2) will promote the efficient and economic use and
development and the safety of operation of the utility systems of the Parties, and 3) provide adequate
and reasonable service to the Annexed Territory.
ACCORDINGLY, OTEC and Idaho Power hereby desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to
DR
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 2
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
ORS 758.410 so that OTEC and Idaho Power can more efficiently serve customers within the
Annexed Territory as provided for in this Agreement, and to complete the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and releases set forth
herein, and the recitals stated above which are incorporated into this Agreement as is fully set forth
herein, the Parties agree as follows.
AGREEMENT
1) Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing (as defined in the
Asset Purchase Agreement), (“Effective Date”); provided, that this Agreement may not
become effective without the approval by the Commission of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and the approval of the transactions and regulatory treatment by the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission; provided, further, that Section 2 of this Agreement shall be enforceable only
upon approval of this Agreement by the Commission pursuant to ORS 758.415.
2) Allocation of Annexed Territory. Subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
upon approval by the Commission, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
a) Parties Agree to Transfer Annexed Territory. The Annexed Territory shall be
permanently transferred from Idaho Power’s exclusive service territory to OTEC’s
exclusive service territory.
b) Joint Petition for Commission Approval. As soon as practicable following the
execution of this Agreement by both Parties, the Parties shall jointly petition the
Commission to approve the agreed-upon transfer of the Annexed Territory in
accordance with ORS 758.415 to 758.425.
c) Service to Current and Future Customers in Annexed Territory. Upon Commission
approval of such transfer, OTEC shall have the exclusive right and obligation to
provide retail electric service to all current and any future customers that may be
located within the Annexed Territory, including the obligation to construct, own,
operate, and maintain any necessary electric facilities. Idaho Power shall have no right
or obligation to provide retail electric service to such customers located in the
Annexed Territory.
3) Compliance with ORS 758.405. The Parties believe that allocating the territories and
customers as provided for in this Agreement will: (1) eliminate or avoid unnecessary
duplication of utility facilities; (2) will promote the efficient and economic use and
development and the safety of operation of the utility systems of the Parties; and (3) provide
adequate and reasonable service to the Annexed Territory as described more fully below.
a) Elimination or Avoidance of Unnecessary Duplication of Utility Facilities.
The Parties believe that this Agreement will eliminate or avoid the unnecessary
duplication of utility facilities by creating a unified service territory across four
DR
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 3
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
Oregon counties which are geographically adjacent to the Oregon territory currently
served by OTEC. By allowing OTEC to also serve the Annexed Territory, OTEC will
be able to use common assets to reduce the need for redundant capital investment that
would be required for both OTEC and Idaho Power to serve customers in service
territories adjacent to each other. Allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory will
also provide operations and maintenance expense savings for OTEC to more
efficiently serve customers in both its existing service territory and the Annexed
Territory.
The Parties agree that allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory will also avoid
unnecessary duplication of existing interconnected facilities currently serving the
Annexed Territory. Based on OTEC and Idaho Power’s review of utility facilities
serving the Annexed Territory, it became apparent that certain substations and
transmission lines were only necessary for Idaho Power to safely and efficiently
operate and serve its exclusive territory. The Annexed Territory will cost-effectively
maintain full functionality and redundancy as compared to the separate and
independent systems configuration of OTEC and Idaho Power. By eliminating the
use of these necessary Idaho Power assets to serve Oregon customers, operations and
maintenance expense, as well as capital replacement investment, will be reduced for
the Annexed Territory in comparison to the separate systems configuration that exists
prior to approval of the territory allocation and asset sale. No additional lines,
substations or other electric facilities are necessary to continue service in the Annexed
Territory. In addition, there will be no stranded investments as part of the territory
allocation and asset sale because Idaho Power will continue to use any assets that are
not included in the Asset Sale for its Idaho customers. Using fewer facilities to serve
the Annexed Territory and surrounding OTEC service territory will lead to synergies
in planning processes, lower capital investment, lower repair and maintenance costs,
and reduced labor duplication, which will benefit OTEC’s members in the Annexed
territory and beyond.
b) Promotion of Efficient and Economic Use and Development and Safety of Operation of
the Utility Systems.
Allowing OTEC to serve the Annexed Territory in addition to its adjacent Oregon
service territory will help promote efficiencies through economies of scale. The
combined operations can reduce per-unit costs for generation, transmission, and
distribution, which will benefit OTEC’s members in the Annexed Territory and its
current members.
OTEC’s current facilities and employees are close to certain areas in the Annexed
Territory (including outlying areas in Baker County, Harney County, Western
Malheur County), which will help reduce outage and emergency response time while
efficiency utilizing current service centers and equipment located in OTEC’s Oregon
service territory.
OTEC will also operate a service center in the Annexed Territory that will uniformly
benefit both OTEC’s current members and members in the Annexed Territory. The
DR
TERRITORY ALLOCATION AGREEMENT - 4
46653.0015.4911-4944-9359.1
Oregon based service center will stock an inventory of commonly used materials and
supplies to provide faster access to those components in outage situations and help
foster the efficient repair and maintenance of utility facilities in the Annexed Territory.
Further, local utility crews will be based out of the new service center to speed outage
response and provide for a local workforce in the Oregon communities as compared
to dispatching crews from an Idaho based utility.
Existing OTEC members and future members in the Annexed Territory will benefit
from this Agreement through economies of scale and system redundancy. Both OTEC
and Idaho Power outperform national industry safety and reliability standards, and the
Agreement will ensure unified safety standards and training across the unified Oregon
territory, reducing risks and improving emergency response time.
c) Provision of Adequate and Reasonable Service to the Annexed Territory.
OTEC has a long history of providing safe and reliable service to its members, which
will include the Annexed Territory under this Agreement. OTEC is a non-profit,
member owned electric cooperative operating under cooperative principles. These
principles include a concern for community which drives local investment through
charitable contributions, scholarships and workforce development programs, capital
credits, and support of community events. Through this Agreement, members across
OTEC’s service territory, including the Annexed Territory, will benefit from uniform
service standards, including consistent reliability, pricing, and customer support.
Expanding OTEC’s Oregon service territory to include the Annexed Territory will
also give OTEC the opportunity to increase availability of resources to invest in
modernization, renewables, and smart grid technologies that will benefit OTEC’s
current customers and customers in the Annexed Territory.
4) Purchase of Assets. The parties acknowledge and agree that the “Asset Purchase Agreement”
dated [Insert Date], entered into between OTEC and Idaho Power, is hereby incorporated into
this Agreement by reference. The Asset Purchase Agreement governs the sale and transfer of
certain assets located within the territory allocated to OTEC under this Agreement. All terms,
conditions, representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Asset Purchase
Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement to the extent they relate to the assets and
territory described herein. The Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
5) No Impact on Remainder of Service Territories. Except as expressly provided herein with
respect to the Annexed Territory, nothing in this Agreement shall affect either Party’s rights
and responsibilities to provide electric service to any other current or future customers located
in their respective service territories.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered
into as of [●], 202[ ] (“Effective Date”), by and between Oregon Trail Electric Consumers
Cooperative, Inc., an Oregon cooperative corporation dba Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative
(“Buyer”), and Idaho Power Company, an Idaho corporation (“Seller,” and together with Buyer,
the “Parties”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement,
dated as of [●], 2026 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller has agreed to sell and
assign to Buyer, and Buyer has agreed to purchase and assume from Seller, the Acquired Assets
and Assumed Liabilities, respectively (both as defined in the Purchase Agreement), all as more
fully described therein;
WHEREAS, in order to ensure an orderly transition of the Business (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) to Buyer and as a condition to consummating the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement, Buyer and Seller have agreed to enter into this Agreement, pursuant
to which Seller will provide, or cause its Affiliates to provide, Buyer with certain services, in each
case on a transitional basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meaning ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the foregoing and the Parties’ respective representations, warranties,
covenants, obligations and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
SERVICES
Section 1.01 Provision of Services.
(a) Seller agrees to provide, or to cause its Affiliates to provide, the services
(the “Services”) set forth on the schedules attached hereto (as such schedules may be amended or
supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the “Service Schedules”) to
Buyer for the respective periods and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and
in the respective Service Schedules.
(b) Notwithstanding the contents of the Service Schedules, Seller agrees to
respond in good faith to any reasonable request by Buyer for access to any additional services that
have been historically provided by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the Acquired Assets
that are necessary for the operation of the Business and which are not currently contemplated in
the Service Schedules, at a price to be agreed upon after good faith negotiations between the Parties
Exhibit F-1-4
in accordance with the cost structure set forth in Exhibit A. Any such additional services so
provided by Seller shall constitute Services under this Agreement, shall be documented in an
additional Service Schedule signed by Seller and Buyer, and be subject in all respects to the
provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth on a Service Schedule as of the date hereof.
(c) The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services.
Accordingly, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to make a transition of each Service to its own internal
organization or to obtain alternate third-party sources to provide the Services.
(d) Subject to Section 2.03, Section 2.04 and Section 3.05, the obligations of
Seller under this Agreement to provide Services shall terminate with respect to each Service on
the end date specified in the applicable Service Schedule (the “End Date”); provided, however, the
obligations of Seller under this Agreement to provide Services shall not extend beyond 36 months
from the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that
Buyer may determine from time to time that it does not require all the Services set out on one or
more of the Service Schedules or that it does not require such Services for the entire period up to
the applicable End Date. Accordingly, Buyer may terminate any Service, in whole and not in part,
upon 30 days’ prior notification to Seller in writing of any such determination (unless such notice
is waived in writing by Seller in its sole discretion). Buyer shall pay Seller any non-recoverable
Out-of-Pocket Costs (defined in Section 2.02(a)) incurred by Seller because of any such
termination.
Section 1.02 Standard of Service.
(a) Seller shall provide the Services in good faith and, in all material respects,
in accordance with Law, in a manner generally consistent with the historical provision of the
Services and with the same standard of care as historically provided. Subject to Section 1.03, Seller
agrees to assign sufficient resources and qualified personnel as are reasonably required to perform
the Services in accordance with the standards set forth in the preceding sentence.
(b) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 1.02(a), THE
SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND SELLER MAKES NO (AND HEREBY
DISCLAIMS ALL) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, IMPLIED,
EXPRESS, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND ANY
WARRANTIES IMPLIED FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE,
OR USAGE OF TRADE. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS
AGREEMENT DOES NOT CREATE A FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP, PARTNERSHIP,
JOINT VENTURE, OR RELATIONSHIP OF TRUST OR AGENCY BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND THAT ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY SELLER AS AN INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTOR.
Exhibit F-1-5
Section 1.03 Third Party Service Providers.
Seller shall have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all or part of any
Service hereunder. Seller shall in all cases retain responsibility for the provision to Buyer of
Services to be performed by any third-party service provider or subcontractor or by any of Seller’s
Affiliates.
Section 1.04 Access to Premises.
(a) In order to enable the provision of the Services by Seller, Buyer shall provide to
Seller’s and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service providers or subcontractors who
provide Services, at no cost to Seller, access to the Acquired Assets, in all cases to the extent
necessary for Seller to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Seller agrees that all of its and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service
providers and subcontractors, when on the property of Buyer or when given access to any
equipment, computer, software, network, or files owned or controlled by Buyer, shall conform to
the policies and procedures of Buyer concerning health, safety, and security which are made known
to Seller in advance in writing, provided that such policies and procedures are not materially
different than the policies and procedures previously adopted by Seller for such premises or assets
before Closing (in which case Seller and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service
providers and subcontractors shall conform to the policies and procedures previously adopted by
Seller as to said premises or assets).
Section 1.05 Removal of Confidential or Proprietary Data or Information.
(a) During the term of this Agreement, Seller may, but shall not be required to, remove
or redact from the Acquired Assets any confidential or proprietary data or information (including,
but not limited to, equipment configurations) not required to have been delivered to Buyer pursuant
to Section 7.14 of the Purchase Agreement; provided that if the removal of any data or information
from any equipment or system would materially impair the intended functionality of such
equipment or system as manufactured, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer prior to removal and
cooperate with Buyer in a commercially reasonable manner to: (i) identify impacted functionality,
(ii) provide reasonable information about required specifications relevant to maintaining such
intended functionality (without disclosing Seller’s confidential or proprietary data or information),
and (iii) maintain or restore such functionality as fully as reasonably possible. During the term of
this Agreement, Buyer shall give Seller no less than fifteen business days’ written notice before
Buyer disposes of any Acquired Asset that has digital storage or programmable components to
allow Seller a reasonable opportunity to exercise the rights provided for in this Section 1.05.
ARTICLE 2
COMPENSATION
Section 2.01 Responsibility for Wages and Fees.
For such time as any employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates are providing the Services
to Buyer under this Agreement, (a) such employees will remain employees of Seller or such
Affiliate, as applicable, and shall not be deemed to be employees of Buyer for any purpose, and
Exhibit F-1-6
(b) Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable, shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision
of all wages, bonuses and commissions, employee benefits, including severance and worker’s
compensation, and the withholding and payment of applicable Taxes relating to such employment.
Section 2.02 Terms of Payment and Related Matters.
(a) As consideration for provision of the Services, Buyer shall pay Seller’s
actual costs, including overheads and benefits loading, consistent with Seller’s past practice,
without markup or profit margin, in accordance with the methodology set forth in Exhibit A. In
addition to any such amount, in the event that Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses in the provision of any Service, including, without limitation,
license fees or payments to third-party service providers or subcontractors, but excluding payments
made to employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.01 (such included
expenses, collectively, “Out-of-Pocket Costs”), Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all such Out-of-
Pocket Costs in accordance with the invoicing procedures set forth in Section 2.02(b). If any
license fees or payments to third-party service providers or subcontractors are for the benefit of
both Buyer and Seller, such fees or payments will be prorated based on the usage of such license
or services by Buyer and Seller for purposes of calculating the Out-of-Pocket Costs chargeable
under this Agreement.
(b) As more fully provided in the Service Schedules and subject to the terms
and conditions therein:
(i) Seller shall provide Buyer, in accordance with Section 6.01 of this
Agreement, with monthly invoices (“Invoices”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail, with
such supporting documentation as Buyer may reasonably request with respect to Out-of-Pocket
Costs, amounts payable under this Agreement; and
(ii) payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made within thirty
(30) days after the date of receipt of an Invoice by Buyer from Seller. Any undisputed amount due
under this Agreement that remains unpaid after its due date shall bear interest from the date that
such payment became delinquent until the date such amount is paid in full at the lower of 1.5%
per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Buyer shall pay Seller all costs and expenses of
collection (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Seller for collecting any amounts past due under
this Agreement.
(c) It is the intent of the Parties that the compensation provided for herein and
in the respective Service Schedules reasonably approximates the cost of providing the Services,
including the cost of employee wages and compensation, without any intent to cause Seller to
receive profit or incur loss. If at any time Seller believes that the payments contemplated by a
specific Service Schedule are materially insufficient to compensate it for the cost of providing the
Services it is obligated to provide hereunder, or Buyer believes that the payments contemplated by
a specific Service Schedule materially overcompensate Seller for such Services, such Party shall
notify the other Party as soon as possible, and the Parties will commence good faith negotiations
toward an agreement in writing as to the appropriate course of action with respect to pricing of
such Services for future periods.
Exhibit F-1-7
Section 2.03 Extension of Services.
The Parties agree that Seller shall not be obligated to perform any Service after the
applicable End Date. If Buyer desires and Seller agrees to continue to perform any of the Services
after the applicable End Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an amount that
compensates Seller for all of its costs for such performance, including the time of its employees,
overheads, and benefits loading, and its Out-of-Pocket Costs. The Services so performed by Seller
after the applicable End Date shall continue to constitute Services under this Agreement and be
subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed-upon
extension period.
Section 2.04 Terminated Services.
Upon termination or expiration of any or all Services pursuant to this Agreement, or upon
the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, Seller shall have no further obligation to provide
the applicable terminated Services, and, except as expressly provided in Section 1.01(d) of this
Agreement, Buyer shall have no obligation to pay any future compensation or Out-of-Pocket Costs
relating to such Services, other than for or in respect of Services already provided in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and received by Buyer prior to such termination.
Section 2.05 Invoice Disputes.
In the event of an Invoice dispute, Buyer shall deliver a written statement to Seller no later
than ten (10) days prior to the date payment is due on the disputed Invoice listing all disputed items
and providing a reasonably detailed description of each disputed item. Amounts not so disputed
shall be deemed accepted and shall be paid, notwithstanding disputes on other items, within the
period set forth in Section 2.02(b). The Parties shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously
and in good faith. Seller shall continue performing the Services in accordance with this Agreement
pending resolution of any dispute.
Section 2.06 No Right of Setoff.
Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that it shall have no right under this Agreement
to set off any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) to the other Party, whether under this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, against any other amount owed (or to become
due and owing) to it by the other Party.
Section 2.07 Taxes.
Buyer shall be responsible for all sales or use Taxes imposed or assessed as a result of the
provision of Services by Seller.
Exhibit F-1-8
ARTICLE 3
TERMINATION
Section 3.01 Termination of Agreement.
Subject to Section 3.03, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety (i) on the date upon
which Seller shall have no continuing obligation to perform any Services as a result of each of
their expiration or termination in accordance with Section 1.01(d) or Section 3.02, (ii) in
accordance with Section 3.03 or (iii) by mutual written agreement by the Parties.
Section 3.02 Breach.
Any Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement with respect to any
Service, in whole but not in part, at any time upon prior written notice to the other Party (the
“Breaching Party”) if the Breaching Party has failed (other than pursuant to Section 3.05) to
perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Service, and such
failure shall have continued without cure for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt by the
Breaching Party of a written notice of such failure from the Non-Breaching Party seeking to
terminate such Service. For the avoidance of doubt, non-payment by Buyer for a Service provided
by Seller in accordance with this Agreement and not the subject of a good-faith dispute shall be
deemed a breach for purposes of this Section 3.02.
Section 3.03 Insolvency.
In the event that either Party hereto shall (i) file a petition in bankruptcy, (ii) become or be
declared insolvent, or become the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within sixty (60) days)
related to its liquidation, insolvency, or the appointment of a receiver, (iii) make an assignment on
behalf of all or substantially all of its creditors, or (iv) take any corporate action for its winding up
or dissolution, then the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing
written notice in accordance with Section 6.01.
Section 3.04 Effect of Termination.
Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 3.01,
all obligations of the Parties shall terminate, except for the provisions of Section 2.02 (with respect
to amounts owing prior to termination or expiration), Section 2.04, Section 2.06, Section 2.07,
ARTICLE 4, ARTICLE 5, and ARTICLE 6, which shall survive any termination or expiration of
this Agreement.
Section 3.05 Force Majeure.
The obligations of Seller under this Agreement with respect to any Service shall be
suspended during the period and to the extent that Seller is prevented or hindered from providing
such Service, or Buyer is prevented or hindered from receiving such Service, due to any of the
following causes beyond such Party’s reasonable control, regardless of whether such causes are
foreseeable, (such causes, “Force Majeure Events”): (i) acts of God, (ii) flood, fire, or explosion,
(iii) war, invasion, riot, or other civil unrest, (iv) governmental Order or Law, (v) actions,
embargoes, or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement, (vi) action by any
Exhibit F-1-9
Governmental Body, (vii) national or regional emergency, (viii) strikes, labor stoppages or
slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, (ix) shortage of adequate power or transportation
facilities, (x) pandemics, or (xi) any other event which is beyond the reasonable control of such
Party. The Party suffering a Force Majeure Event shall give notice of suspension as soon as
reasonably practicable to the other Party stating the date and extent of such suspension and the
cause thereof, and Seller shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably
practicable after the removal of the cause. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable for the
nonperformance or delay in performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement when
such failure is due to a Force Majeure Event. The applicable End Date for any Service so suspended
shall be automatically extended for a period of time equal to the time lost by reason of the
suspension.
ARTICLE 4
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 4.01 Confidentiality.
During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, the Parties agree that the terms of the
Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect and will be applicable to all
Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) exchanged in connection
with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Review” in the
Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the “Discussion” as defined in the
Confidentiality Agreement, and the “Discussion” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement shall
include the Transactions and the Services.
ARTICLE 5 INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
Section 5.01 Indemnification.
(a) Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any
Losses proximately caused by any Third Party Claim, resulting from or related to Seller’s entry
into or performance under this Agreement. Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties
from and against any Losses proximately caused by any Third Party Claim, arising out of or
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its Affiliates or any third
party that provides a Service to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.03 in connection with the provision
of, or failure to provide, any Services to Buyer. As used herein, (i) a “Third Party Claim” means
any Proceeding of a Third Party at any time instituted against or made upon any Indemnified Party
for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement, (ii)
“Indemnified Party” means any Person entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section
5.01, (iii) “Indemnifying Party” means any Person against whom indemnification may be sought
pursuant to this Section 5.01, (iv) “Losses” means all (a) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
assessments, levies, losses, damages, fines, and penalties, and (b) attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably and actually incurred in investigating or defending a Third Party Claim, and
(v) “Third Party” means any Person that is neither a Party to this Agreement nor a Subsidiary or
Affiliate of any Party.
Exhibit F-1-10
(b) If any Indemnified Party desires to seek indemnification under Section 5.01(a), the
Indemnified Party will give reasonably prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party, specifying
the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, or a good faith
estimate of the amount of Losses asserted with respect to such claim and the method of
computation of such Losses (each such notice, a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the
failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim for
indemnification, it will notify the Indemnified Party within 45 days after its receipt of the
applicable Claim Notice, whereupon the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will meet
and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to such claim for indemnification.
If the dispute has not been resolved within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party of its dispute under this Section 5.01(b), then the Indemnified Party may initiate
litigation in accordance with Section 11.09 of the Purchase Agreement, which is hereby
incorporated by reference into this Agreement mutatis mutandis. The Indemnified Party will have
the burden of proof in establishing its right to indemnification and the amount of Losses suffered
by such Person.
(c) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense and control of
any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice by providing written notice to the Indemnified
Party within 45 days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of such Third Party Claim;
provided that the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume or continue control of the
defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent: (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in
connection with any criminal proceeding; or (ii) the Third Party Claim only seeks an injunction or
other equitable relief against an Indemnified Party.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to
Section 5.01(c), the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that no such consent will be required if
(i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages (including any expenses and fees), (ii) the
settlement does not entail any admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, and (iii)
the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party(ies) from all liability
with respect to such Third Party Claim.
(e) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to
Section 5.01(c), then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such
claim at its own expense.
(f) If the Indemnifying Party does not timely assume the defense of a Third Party
Claim after receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to
Section 5.01(b), then the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim in such manner as it
deems reasonably appropriate and is consistent with the provisions hereof. The Indemnified Party
may not settle such claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
Exhibit F-1-11
(g) The Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith and in all respects with the
Indemnifying Party and its representatives (including its counsel) in the investigation, negotiation,
settlement, trial or defense of any Third Party Claim (and any appeal arising therefrom), including
by making records and personnel reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party. The Parties will
cooperate with each other in any notifications to and information requests of any insurers.
(h) In no event will any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification for the same
Losses from more than one source. The Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover any
Losses relating to any matter arising under, or any facts and circumstances relating to or arising
out of, a provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Parties have already
recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Agreement. If a state of facts exists that would allow an Indemnified Party
to seek recovery under both this Agreement on the one hand, and another Transaction Agreement,
on the other hand, then such Indemnified Party only may seek recovery for Losses under this
Agreement or such other Transaction Agreement, as applicable.
(i) Each Indemnified Party will use, and will cause all other Indemnified Parties to use,
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event
that would reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses, including by (i) making and diligently
pursuing all claims under and collecting all amounts recoverable under any applicable insurance
policies (other than self-insurance policies), indemnification agreements, Contracts and other
similar rights for all Losses to the extent such Losses are covered by such insurance policy,
indemnification agreement, Contract or similar right of such Indemnified Party, (ii) incurring costs
only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy any breach or remediate any other situation, and
(iii) refraining from taking any action that might give rise to, or otherwise encouraging or
soliciting, any Third Party Claim.
Section 5.02 Limitation on Liability.
In no event shall Seller have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any
punitive, incidental, consequential, special, or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue
or income, loss of business reputation, or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of
this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple, whether
based on statute, contract, tort, or otherwise, and whether or not arising from the other Party’s sole,
joint, or concurrent negligence, strict liability, criminal liability, or other fault. Buyer
acknowledges that the Services to be provided to it hereunder are subject to, and that its remedies
under this Agreement are limited by, the applicable provisions of Section 1.02, including the
limitations with respect to the Services.

Cost Methodology
Seller Personnel Support:
Buyer to pay actual cost of Seller employee wages plus all employment, labor and benefit related
personnel loadings. The current Seller personnel loading rate is 84% to be multiplied and added
to the base hourly wage. Seller employee wages are adjusted annually for all employees and
updated during the year for certain employees that have not reached the top of their respective
pay grade. The personnel loading rate will be updated periodically and may be adjusted annually.
Seller pays 1.5x for scheduled/regular overtime and 2x hourly wage for restoration overtime
labor. Personnel loadings will only be applied to the base wage component of the overtime labor
as outlined in the examples below.
Other non-labor costs:
Buyer to pay actual costs for the following expenses associated with Services as applicable:
• Equipment
• Vehicles
• Materials
• Purchased services
• Rentals
• Business meals/lodging
Examples
The following examples are the costs for calendar year 2026 for top-of-grade employees in the
respective positions.
1. Straight time labor
Lineman (Trouble Work): $65.03/hr *(1+0.84 personnel loading) =
$119.66//hr
Stations Apparatus Technician: $62.53/hr *(1+0.84 personnel loading) =
$115.06/hr
2. Scheduled/regular overtime (1.5x base wage)
Lineman (Trouble Work): $65.03/hr *(1+ 0.84 personnel loading + 0.5 OT) =
$152.17/hr

Exhibit F-2
Transition Services Schedule
See attached
F-2-1
Exhibit F-2
Draft Transition Services
As used herein, “OTEC” refers to Buyer and “IPC” or “Idaho Power” refers to Seller under the
Agreement. All Services provided under the Transition Services Agreement, as described herein,
shall be paid for by OTEC as provided in Article 2 of the Transition Services Agreement and the
applicable Service Schedule.
Metering
Meter Reading
It is intended that OTEC will acquire AMI equipment in OR and IPC will retain AMI
equipment in Idaho. Following the term of the applicable Service Schedule, OTEC will
need to provide backhaul communications equipment and services to enable meter reads
for AMI equipment acquired by OTEC associated with IPC retained substations. IPC and
OTEC to agree on the process for OTEC substation access to service their equipment.
IPC to continue collecting meter reads for Oregon customers (TWACS and other
methods) and deliver data to OTEC electronically daily following the close of the sale
and through the term of the applicable Service Schedule as described below. Meter data
to include daily energy usage (kwh, kw, and kVARh if required), and detailed hourly
interval data (kw). This obligation will continue until OTEC completes its own AMI
system migration for those premises or implements an alternative mutually agreed
solution that enables OTEC to independently obtain billing‑quality meter data without
material degradation in functionality.
OTEC-Owned Stations and IPC-Retained Substations in Oregon: For customers
served out of Oregon AMI infrastructure that is transferring to OTEC as part of the
Agreement, IPC will continue to provide meter data for a period of 36 months following
the Closing, or until OTEC transitions the operation of the AMI equipment to its own
systems and IPC implements a solution to read IPC revenue meters from these
stations/feeders. The Parties will meet periodically during the transition to align cutover
schedules and minimize duplicate field work.
OTEC Customers served from Idaho Stations: For customers located in Oregon that
are served from Idaho-based substations where IPC retains ownership and operation of
AMI Modulating Transformer Units (MTUs) and associated Substation Communication
Equipment (SCE), IPC will provide OTEC with billing‑quality AMI data for those OTEC
customers for 36 months or until OTEC implements an alternative solution allowing them
to directly acquire the meter data, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding anything in the
previous statement, as provided in the Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement,
OTEC will compensate IPC for all metering costs for Oregon customers on and after
Closing until OTEC has incorporated its own independent metering solution.
F-2-2
As per the Agreement, each Party will compensate the other party for costs incurred to
bill the first Party’s customers without markup or profit margin commencing from the
Closing to the time when the Services are no longer required per the language above in
this section.
Meter Inventory & Stocking
IPC to continue stocking compatible TWACS meters for both new service installations
and routine replacements until the transition of AMI systems is completed as noted
above. This obligation sunsets on a substation‑by‑substation (or feeder‑by‑feeder) basis
upon (i) completion of AMI cutover for the affected feeders or (ii) decommissioning of
TWACS for that area, whichever occurs first. This will ensure TWACS system
compatibility until OTEC can stock compatible TWACS meters and complete the
substation communications and Meter Data Management (MDM) transfer.
Notification of Meter Changes
OTEC will provide daily notifications of any completed meter changes to IPC. This
process ensures that IPC can continue to operate the automated meter system effectively.
Meter Ping and Remote Disconnect Reconnect
Share metering data between utilities when possible.
Ping
Instantaneous reads
Geographic Information System (GIS) Data Provision
IPC will provide OTEC with Geographic Information System (GIS) data to enable OTEC to
develop a comprehensive engineering and electric network model of the system being acquired,
as well as any connected assets that remain with IPC. This transfer will include all necessary
facility data, network elements, related tables, and active domain exports required to construct a
functional model within OTEC’s ESRI-based GIS platform. To ensure accuracy and usability,
IPC and OTEC will work together to determine the correct file formats and processes for data
exchange. This collaboration will continue through the Closing and for an additional six-month
period, during which any changes to the network will be updated and reflected in the GIS model.
Circuits retained by IPC that impact OTEC service locations will be updated periodically to
provide functional modeling of the system. Circuits transferred to OTEC that impact IPC service
locations will be updated periodically to provide functional modeling of the system.
Outage Management Transition
For circuits where IPC and OTEC continue shared operations, outage data will be shared as near
real-time as possible to maintain system reliability. Data will be shared electronically to support
efficient operations and outage management. Post-hoc data will be shared daily to support
system planning.
F-2-3
Data changes made by either Party that affect electric network operability will be shared the day
the change is made.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) Integration
ICCP Connection Establishment
An Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP) connection will be established
between OTEC and IPC SCADA systems. This connection will enable the bi-directional
transfer of real-time operational data for each Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) located
within the acquired territory.
Data Sharing of SCADA Points
SCADA points will be made accessible and shared between both systems. This sharing
applies to all scenarios in which OTEC members are served via IPC equipment, as well
as instances where IPC customers are served by OTEC devices. This arrangement ensures
seamless monitoring and control across the respective service areas during and after the
transition period.
Substation & Field Apparatus
Spare Equipment Inventory Access
IPC to provide access to spare and backup substation equipment fleet for emergency
failures. The acquired substations contain several older specialty equipment items that
may require backup equipment. In most cases, OTEC does not have access to spare
equipment, and OETC does not view purchasing new spare equipment as reasonable at
current market prices and lead times. OTEC will pay book value on any used spare
equipment provided by IPC and compensate IPC for any deployment-related costs or
services.
IPC will make reasonable efforts to supply such surplus equipment when it is available.
The provision of replacement equipment is contingent upon IPC’s inventory and
availability at the time of need. IPC will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify
OTEC if IPC intends to scrap any equipment that IPC believes could be useful to OTEC
based on the Acquired Assets.
Spares used to support OTEC may also be required as backups for IPC stations. When
this occurs, IPC and OTEC will coordinate to replace the deployed spare and determine
associated cost responsibilities.
This process is intended to facilitate a smooth transition and minimize operational
disruptions while OTEC works to standardize equipment.
Mobile Substation Services
IPC to provide mobile substation services to OTEC for those locations that require a
mobile substation for emergencies or routine work. OTEC does not currently operate a
system that requires a mobile substation, and, thus, does not have one. OTEC will work
with IPC to schedule any scheduled maintenance at a time that works for both Parties.
F-2-4
IPC to transport and operate the mobile substation. OTEC to compensate IPC for any
mobile substation services.
Substation Communications
For all substations acquired by OTEC, communications will continue to be maintained by
IPC throughout the term of the applicable Service Schedule. Specifically, IPC will
provide communications support for a period of up to 18 months, or until each substation
has been fully transitioned to OTEC-owned communication systems, whichever occurs
first. This ensures there is no interruption in communication capabilities during the
transition process.
Once a substation has been successfully transitioned and OTEC has assumed
responsibility for its communications, any communications equipment at that facility
must be governed by a cyber security agreement protecting sensitive information on those
assets. For example, decommissioned MPLS equipment will need to be scrubbed of
encryption keys before being disposed of. This process will ensure a clear handoff of
operational responsibilities and equipment ownership as OTEC integrates the substations
into its own network and infrastructure.
For communications outages and emergency response during the transition period, OTEC
will compensate IPC for any related costs or services as provided in the Transition
Services Agreement and the applicable Service Schedule.
Field Apparatus Communications
For all Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) acquired by OTEC, IPC will maintain field
communications for a period of 18 months. This arrangement ensures that there is no
disruption in the operational communication capabilities of these devices during the term
of the applicable Service Schedule. Throughout this time frame, communication support
will be sustained by Idaho Power until a complete transition to OTEC’s ownership and
management is achieved. This process facilitates a smooth integration of the acquired
IEDs into OTEC’s network and maintains reliable real-time data exchange and
monitoring. OTEC will compensate Idaho Power for any direct support of OTEC owned
devices. For the avoidance of doubt, IPC is excluding 700MHz FAN backhaul
infrastructure from the Acquired Assets, and after the term of the applicable Service
Schedule, these devices will not communicate.
Estimating & Design Services
At and after Closing, OTEC will field member requests, complete project designs, and
prepare cost estimates from its members. OTEC will then coordinate construction with
IPC personnel in accordance with the applicable Service Schedule or enter into a new
Service Schedule. This arrangement is designed to ensure that ongoing and new Service
requests are handled efficiently during the post-Closing period, minimizing any
disruption to members seeking new connections.
All documentation regarding work order design, estimation, change orders and as built
design will be provided to OTEC for any work orders that are field completed during the
post-Closing period in accordance with the applicable Service Schedule. If the work
order is designed in GIS, all associated GIS data will be delivered to OTEC.
F-2-5
New Business (Line Extension) Construction
As a Service under the Transition Services Agreement, IPC will complete all
new‑business (line extension) projects for which (i) the design is completed and (ii) the
required customer funding is received prior to the Closing. Such projects do not need to
be constructed before Closing for IPC to retain responsibility to complete them during the
transition period. IPC will not charge OTEC for completing these pre‑Closing
designed‑and‑funded projects. If the scope or design of any such pre‑Closing project
changes, IPC and OTEC will cooperate to obtain any additional customer funding
required for the revised work. Any new business project that is designed and/or funded
on or after Closing will be constructed by OTEC. However, in accordance with the
Transition Services Agreement, OTEC may request IPC to provide new construction
services (line crews) to support post-Closing new‑business needs, subject to availability
and payment as provided in the Transition Services Agreement.
Customer / Member Billing Support
Customer / Member bill creation, mailing and processing will be handled by OTEC at
and after Closing. IPC will continue to collect cash and check at its operations center to
match current practice for IPC Oregon customers within the territory acquired by OTEC,
for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date. Any such funds will be held in office
and must be picked up by OTEC employees daily. The intent of this clause is to reduce
customer frustration. OTEC will also handle payments via phone, kiosk, website, app and
in-office once physical Ontario office is established.
Emergency Response
The information below is general in nature. OTEC and IPC will develop a standard
operating procedure and protocol to address emergency response, communications, and
system operations.
1. Services
a. IPC will dispatch line restoration personnel for specific coverage areas for a
12-month period immediately following Closing. OTEC will compensate
Idaho Power for emergency response services in accordance with the
Transition Services Agreement. Resource levels provided will be first
responder and line crew needed for restoration services.
2. Coverage Area
a. Defined by substation and circuit list
3. Flow of emergency response communications:
a. OTEC Member >< OTEC Dispatch >< IPCO Dispatch >< First Responder
b. Outage Response
i. Members will call OTEC outage number to report service
interruption/emergency
F-2-6
ii. OTEC Dispatch (CRC after-hours) will contact IPC to dispatch an IPC
first responder.
iii. IPC Responder will report status to IPC Dispatch
iv. IPC Dispatch will update status to OTEC Dispatch/management with
response and status.
Non-Emergency System Maintenance
OTEC will assume responsibility for all other maintenance activities upon Closing.
Field Employee Communications
To support safe joint field operations during the transition period, IPC and OTEC will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide limited, standards‑based interoperability between
their radio systems through methods such as AIS wireline integration or dispatch‑level talkgroup
cross‑patching, if technically feasible. Neither Party is required to modify or upgrade core radio
infrastructure, and each retains sole control of its system’s configuration and security.
Interoperability will be restricted to mutually approved operational or emergency talkgroups
necessary for coordination on shared circuits.

HFWY
WMPHarden - Wildfire Mitigation
Plan (WMP) Distribution
Infrastructure Improvement Program 1,200,000
The work completed under this ID will be to “harden” distribution lines as
part of the company’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP). The Overhead
Distribution Hardening program involves systematic replacement of
hardware, equipment, and materials to improve safety and reliability and
reduce ignition risk. The program is targeted for wildfire risk zones
identified in the company’s WMP. The 2026 scope will harden roughly 8.6
miles of HFWY-11 feeder beyond R4. 2027 and beyond scope is pending.

Distribution pole replacements - inspection and treatment follow-up work
for distribution feeders groundline inspected every 10-years. The budget is
for replacement of wood poles identified as rejected, restorable rejected,
or wood stubbed is part of our asset management plan. The scope for
2026-2027 is shown to the right and the split will ultimately depend on
permits and easements for certain segments we plan to relocate from
existing alignment. 2028 scope is unidentified and will be more certain
once the 2027 inspections are complete. No Oregon feeders are currently
scheduled for 2026 inspection.

with the logic in the new SEL-351-R4 controls. The CWVY 011A and 012A
feeder recloser controls were installed in 2003 and are early generation
SEL-351-R1 relays with the following issues: 1) the relay's firmware can no
longer be upgraded, 2) the Hot Line Hold OFF/ON function cannot be
implemented because it does not support a complete set of latches and
display points available in newer versions, 3) it uses a discontinued voltage-
based battery charging scheme that has had known issues in cold
temperatures (new versions use a more reliable current-based battery
charging scheme), 4) recloser controls are mounted in outdoor enclosures
and have a reduced life expectancy.
