the percentage of ownership in a Segment that is owned by PacifiCorp is set forth in column B of
Exhibit C; and (ii) when the Owners each own a percentage of a Segment, each of the Owners own
an undivided ownership interest in such Segment as tenants-in-common.
(b) The Owners agree that they shall enter into such additional documentation
as shall reasonably be required to document the Owners’ Ownership Interests in the Transmission
Facilities and any change in the Owners’ Ownership Interests in the Transmission Facilities as a
result of the application of Section 3.3(b), provided that in no event shall an Owner be responsible
for paying any amount to the other Owner as a result of any change in any Ownership Interest in
the Transmission Facilities, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement or as otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Parties.
3.2 Capacity Allocations.
(a) Directional Capacity Allocation. The Parties agree that the total directional
transmission capacity in megawatts of each Segment and Path is set forth in columns E and H of
Exhibit C (the “Total Directional Capacity”), and is allocated to: (i) Idaho Power (A) as expressed
in megawatts as set forth in columns C and F of Exhibit C and (B) as expressed as a percentage of
14
the total directional transmission capacity of each Segment and Path as set forth in columns I and
K of Exhibit C; and (ii) PacifiCorp (A) as expressed in megawatts as set forth in columns D and
G of Exhibit C and (B) as expressed as a percentage of the total directional transmission capacity
of each Segment and Path as set forth in columns J and L of Exhibit C. Each of the allocations of
directional transmission capacity of each of the Segments and Paths to each of the Owners
expressed in megawatts in Sections 3.2(a)(i)(A) and 3.2(a)(ii)(A) is herein referred to as the
“Directional Capacity Allocation” and each of the allocations of directional transmission capacity
of each of the Segments and Paths to each of the Owners in percentages in Sections 3.2(a)(i)(B)
and 3.2(a)(ii)(B) is herein referred to as the “Directional Capacity Allocation Percentage.”
(b) Scheduling Over Segments which are Not Part of a Path. Each Owner shall
have the right to post and sell its Directional Capacity Allocation over each Segment (which is not
part of a Path) in accordance with its OATT, and each Owner shall schedule energy or make
available for scheduling each Segment (which is not part of a Path) in each direction consistent
with its applicable Directional Capacity Allocation Percentage of the Total Directional Capacity
of the Segment in each direction and pursuant to Governmental Requirements and Governmental
Authorizations; provided, however, that at no time shall an Owner be entitled to post, sell, schedule
or make available for scheduling more than its applicable Directional Capacity Allocation
Percentage of the Total Directional Capacity of any Segment (which is not part of a Path) in any
direction, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Owners.
(c) Scheduling Over Segments which are Part of a Path. Each Owner shall have
the right to post and sell its Directional Capacity Allocation over a Path in accordance with its
OATT, and each Owner shall schedule energy or make available for scheduling a Path in each
direction consistent with its applicable Directional Capacity Allocation Percentage of the Total
Directional Capacity of the Path in each direction and pursuant to Governmental Requirements
and Governmental Authorizations; provided, however, that at no time shall an Owner be entitled
to post, sell, schedule or make available for scheduling more than its applicable Directional
Capacity Allocation Percentage of the Total Directional Capacity of any Path over one or more of
the Segments which are part of the Path in any direction, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in
writing by the Owners.
3.3 Adjustment of Capacity Allocations and Ownership Interests.
(a) Adjustment of Directional Capacity Allocations and Directional Capacity
Allocation Percentages.
(i) Each of the Owners shall be allocated their Pro Rata Share (based
on their applicable Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages) of all temporary changes in the
Total Directional Capacity of a Segment or Path.
(ii) Permanent changes in the Total Directional Capacity of a Segment
or Path occur when the first of the following occurs: (A) when the quantity and, if applicable,
direction of change in Total Directional Capacity are agreed to by the Owners; or (B) when WECC
or the applicable WECC committee recognizes the quantity and, if applicable, direction of change
in Total Directional Capacity.
15
(iii) Each of the Owners shall be allocated their Pro Rata Share (based
on their applicable Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages) of any permanent decrease or
permanent increase (which is not the result of a capital upgrade or which is the result of a capital
upgrade that both Owners participated in on a Pro Rata Basis (in accordance with their Ownership
Interests)) in the Total Directional Capacity of a Segment or Path calculated pursuant to Section
3.3(a)(ii). In the event of a permanent increase in the Total Directional Capacity of a Segment or
Path calculated pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii), then the increase in Total Directional Capacity shall
be allocated to the Owners based on their participation in the capital upgrade established pursuant
to Section 6.1.
(iv) In the event there is a permanent increase or decrease in the Total
Directional Capacity of a Segment or Path calculated pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii), the Owners
shall promptly amend the Agreement to update Exhibit C to reflect revisions in the Total
Directional Capacity of the Segment or Path as well as the Directional Capacity Allocations and
Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages of the Owners in the Segment or Path calculated
pursuant to Sections 3.3(a)(ii) and 3.3(a)(iii).
(b) Adjustment of Ownership Interests in Segments.
(i) Only permanent changes in the Total Directional Capacity of a
Segment pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) have the ability to affect the Owners’ Ownership Interests
in a Segment. In the event that there is a permanent increase or decrease in the Total Directional
Capacity of a Segment in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(ii), then the Ownership Interest for each
Owner shall be calculated on the following basis:
(A) Add both of the Owner’s Directional Capacity Allocations
in the Segment (taking into account the Owner’s Pro Rata Share of the increase or decrease
determined in accordance with Section 3.3(a));
(B) Add both of the Segment’s Total Directional Capacities
(taking into account the increase or decrease of the Segment’s Total Directional Capacities
determined in accordance with Section 3.3(a)); and
(C) Divide the sum of clause A above by the sum of clause B
above to produce the Owner’s revised Ownership Interest in the Segment.
(ii) In the event that there is a permanent increase or decrease in the
Total Directional Capacity of a Segment in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(ii), the Owners shall
promptly amend the Agreement to update Exhibit C to reflect any revisions in the Ownership
Interests of the Owners in any Segment calculated in accordance with this Section 3.3(b)(i). In
addition, the Owners shall promptly amend the Agreement to update Exhibit C to reflect revisions
in any Substation O&M Allocation as a result of changes in the Ownership Interests of the Owners
in any Substation Segment calculated in accordance with Section 3.3(b)(i).

obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement; or (B) the treatment of assets of an Owner
that are subject to or affected by this Agreement.
(iii) In no event shall this Agreement be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified pursuant to Sections 3.3(c)(i) or 3.3(c)(ii), unless the Parties agree in writing
to such amendment, supplement or modification.
3.4 Qualified Owner.
Each Owner shall take all actions required to continue to be a Qualified Owner during the
Term. If at any time during the Term an Owner ceases to be a Qualified Owner, then such Owner
shall immediately provide notice thereof to the other Owner and take all actions required to resume
being a Qualified Owner.
3.5 No Right to Use.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Agreement shall not confer upon either
Owner the right to use or transmit energy over any transmission facilities owned by the other
Owner (other than with respect to the Transmission Facilities and Paths as provided for herein).

Agreement, including payments to the Operators of the Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M
Charge, the Monthly Substation O&M Charge, the Monthly Common Equipment Charge and
Other Costs, shall be made to the account or accounts designated by the Owner or Operator to
which the payment is owed, by wire transfer in immediately available funds in the lawful currency
of the United States.
17
3.7 Waiver of Partition Rights.
The Owners acknowledge that any exercise of the remedy of partition (whether at law or
in equity) of the jointly-owned Transmission Facilities or any portion thereof would be
impracticable in view of the purposes and requirements of this Agreement, would violate the spirit
and intent of this Agreement, and would defeat the Owners’ intentions and reasonable expectations
as well as the consideration upon which each Owner entered into this Agreement. Accordingly,
each Owner agrees that during the Term it: (a) will not, directly or indirectly, commence, maintain,
support or join in any action or proceedings of any kind to partition the jointly-owned Transmission
Facilities or any portion thereof; and (b) waives, after consultation with its qualified legal counsel,
any and all rights that it may have under this Agreement or Governmental Requirements (whether
at law or in equity) or otherwise to commence, maintain, support or join in any such action or
proceeding. Each Owner acknowledges that the other Owner has entered into and will perform
the terms of this Agreement in reliance upon the other Owner’s agreement and adherence to the
terms of this Section 3.7, and would not have entered into this Agreement but for such reliance;
and that it would be unjust and inequitable for any Owner to violate or to seek relief from any
provision of this Section 3.7.

after the Effective Date with respect to which it receives written notice; (iii) the grantee Owner
shall provide reasonable prior written notice to the grantor Owner of its intent to exercise any right
or privilege granted by the Real Property License; and (iv) the grantee Owner and its
Representatives exercising any right or privilege under the Real Property License shall comply
with the grantor Owner’s or any other contractor’s safety and operational procedures and security
rules, provided that such procedures and rules are in writing and are delivered to the grantee Owner
in advance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owners acknowledge that no representations or
warranties are made with respect to the Transmission Facilities Sites and that the Real Property
Licenses are expressly subject in all respects to all Real Property Rights applicable to the
Transmission Facilities Sites.
(f) Each Real Property License includes a nonexclusive right of the grantee
Owner for the location of equipment in which such Owner has an Ownership Interest, together
with any replacements, capital upgrades or improvements thereto, on the Transmission Facilities
Sites, to be utilized by such Owner to locate such equipment on such premises, together with the
right to access such equipment over and across the Transmission Facilities Sites, provided that any
replacements, capital upgrades or improvements to such equipment shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement prior to its expiration or termination.
(g) Each Real Property License shall terminate, in whole or in part, if and to the

of which the grantee Owner shall promptly provide to the grantor Owner.
(h) If and to the extent the Real Property Licenses are not permitted by any of
the Real Property Rights with respect to all or any portion of the Transmission Facilities Sites (the
“Excluded Transmission Facilities Sites”), then the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to identify
19
and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement an alternative to the Real Property
Licenses with respect to the Excluded Transmission Facilities Sites in order to attempt to provide
each of the Parties with the rights that they would have been provided under the Real Property
Licenses with respect to the Transmission Facilities Sites; provided, however, in no event shall an
Owner be required to amend, revise or modify in any respect any of its Real Property Rights
pursuant to this Section 3.8(h).
ARTICLE IV

Interest(s), if any) of any payments or proceeds obtained pursuant to any Transmission Facilities
Contract. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Owners agree
that only the Operators shall be entitled to exercise or enforce the benefits, rights and remedies
under the Transmission Facilities Contracts.
4.3 Delegation of Responsibilities.
An Operator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, utilize its employees and supervisory
personnel, and any independent technical advisors, consultants, contractors and agents which it
may select, as may be required to perform its obligations (each, a “Delegate”). Notwithstanding
any such delegation, the Operator shall remain responsible and liable for all of its delegated
obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If a non-operating Owner is amenable
to such delegation, such non-operating Owner may be delegated certain responsibilities under this
section.
4.4 Governmental Authorizations.
(a) Each Operator is authorized to prepare and submit to all appropriate
Governmental Authorities the necessary reports, applications, plans, specifications and other
documents to procure all Governmental Authorizations required to perform its obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Transmission Facilities and Common Equipment it is
responsible for or to comply with Governmental Requirements, provided that the Operator shall
consult with the Non-Operating Owner prior to the submission of any such reports, application,
plans, specification and other documents to the extent to which they relate to any jointly-owned
Transmission Facilities. To the extent permitted by Governmental Requirements, each Operator
shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and structure all Government Authorizations
for which it applies after the Effective Date in such a way as to recognize each Owner’s applicable
Ownership Interest(s) (and associated Directional Capacity Allocation Percentage(s) and
Directional Capacity Allocation(s)), if any, as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 5.1(b), nothing in this
21
Section 4.4 shall obligate an Operator to prepare and submit to appropriate Governmental
Authorities any reports, applications, plans, specifications and other documents to procure any
Governmental Authorizations required by the Owners in connection with their ownership of an
Ownership Interest in the Transmission Facilities or the Common Equipment or the recovery of
any costs and expenses in connection therewith.
(b) To the extent that an Operator cannot obtain a Governmental Authorization
pursuant to Section 4.4(a) on behalf of one or both of the Owners, each such Owner shall: (i) be
responsible for preparing and submitting to the appropriate Governmental Authority the necessary
reports, applications, plans, specifications and other documents to procure such Governmental
Authorization; and (ii) exercise all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain such Governmental
Authorization. Unless and until the Owner or Owners are able to obtain such Governmental
Authorizations, the Operator shall not perform or continue to perform any of the obligations
requiring such Governmental Authorizations if to do so would result in the Owner or Owners or
the Operator being in violation of Governmental Requirements or Governmental Authorizations.
(c) Each Owner shall, at its own cost: (i) reasonably cooperate and support the
Operators in obtaining any Governmental Authorizations required pursuant to Section 4.4(a); and
(ii) reasonably respond to inquiries or requests issued to it by any Governmental Authorities in
respect of such Governmental Authorizations; provided, however, that an Owner shall not be
obligated pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) to disclose Proprietary Information except to the extent
that it is otherwise required to disclose such Proprietary Information: (A) by Governmental
Requirements; (B) by any Governmental Authority; or (C) pursuant to the express terms of this
Agreement.
4.5 Audit.
Each Non-Operating Owner may, at its cost, at any time during normal business hours and
with reasonable prior notice of not less than thirty (30) Business Days, but not more often than
once in any twelve (12) month period, inspect and audit the books and records of the Operator and
any of its Affiliates and Delegates (and the Operator shall secure such rights for the Non-Operating
Owner from its Affiliates and Delegates) involved in the provision of services pursuant to this
Agreement (“Other Costs Records”), to the extent reasonably relating to the determination of
Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charges, Monthly Substation O&M Charges, Monthly
Common Equipment Charges, and Other Costs for which the Non-Operating Owner is liable under
this Agreement as shown on an invoice provided to the Non-Operating Owner pursuant to Section
4.7 within eighteen (18) months prior to the date of the audit notice. Each Operator shall, and shall
cause any of its relevant Affiliates and Delegates, to keep and maintain all such Other Costs
Records to the extent reasonably relating to the determination of Monthly Transmission Facilities
O&M Charges, Monthly Substation O&M Charges, Monthly Common Equipment Charges, and
Other Costs for which the Non-Operating Owner is liable under this Agreement and make such
Other Costs Records available to the Non-Operating Owner in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. If any audit discloses that, during such eighteen (18) month period, an overpayment
or underpayment of Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charges, Monthly Substation O&M
Charges, Monthly Common Equipment Charges or Other Costs has been made by the Non-
Operating Owner or the amount of any Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charges, Monthly
Substation O&M Charges, Monthly Common Equipment Charges, or Other Costs allocated to the
22
Non-Operating Owner in an invoice is incorrect, then such overpayment, underpayment or
incorrect amount shall be resolved pursuant to Section 4.8. The Non-Operating Owner requesting
the audit shall reimburse one hundred percent (100%) of all reasonable costs and expenses
(including internal costs and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of the Operator and any of its
Affiliates and Delegates in complying with the provisions of this Section 4.6, provided that the
Non-Operating Owner shall not be required to reimburse any such costs if the audit determines
that the Non-Operating Owner has made more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in
overpayments of Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charges, Monthly Substation O&M
Charges, Monthly Common Equipment Charges, or Other Costs or more than Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charges, Monthly
Substation O&M Charges, Monthly Common Equipment Charges, or Other Costs have been
incorrectly allocated to the Owner.
4.6 Insurance.
(a) Owner Insurance. Each Owner shall be responsible for obtaining and
maintaining during the Term insurance covering its respective legal liabilities related to its
Ownership Interests in the Transmission Facilities and Common Equipment. Insurance required
by this Section 4.6(a) will be placed with appropriate carriers and in amounts in accordance with
Good Utility Practice and Governmental Requirements.
(b) Property Insurance. Each Operator, on behalf of the Owners and any other
named insureds or loss payees, will, with respect to Substations and equipment therein that is
included as part of the jointly-owned Transmission Facilities it is responsible for: (i) determine the
appropriate property insurance coverages, minimum amounts, self-insured amounts, deductibles
and other insurance policy terms which shall be reasonable and customary for similarly situated
utilities; (ii) obtain and maintain such property insurance during the Term; and (iii) be solely
responsible for pursuing claims and/or negotiating settlements in respect of claims under such
insurance coverages. The Operators shall be compensated for the costs of obtaining and
maintaining such insurance (including any premiums, taxes and fees, but excluding deductibles,
self-insurance or non-insured costs) through the Monthly Substation O&M Charge. Subject to
Article VII, each Owner shall be responsible for its Pro Rata Share (based on its applicable
Ownership Interest(s)) of any deductibles, self-insurance and non-insured costs, all of which shall
be Other Costs. The Operators shall not be obligated to obtain or maintain any other insurance by
or on behalf of the Owners with respect to the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment for
which they are responsible.
4.7 Invoices.
(a) Each Non-Operating Owner shall pay the respective Operator the Monthly
Transmission Facilities O&M Charge, the Monthly Substation O&M Charge, and the Monthly
Common Equipment Charge calculated in accordance with Exhibit D as compensation for the
Operator’s services under this Agreement. In addition, each Owner shall be responsible for its Pro
Rata Share (based on its applicable Ownership Interest(s)) of costs incurred by or on behalf of the
Operators pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Sections 4.2(a), 4.4(a), 4.6, 5.2, 6.1,
7.1, 7.5, 8.2 and 16.3 (collectively, the “Other Costs”). In the event that an Operator incurs, or
23
reasonably expects to incur, significant Other Costs in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000), the Operator shall immediately notify the Owners in writing of such Other Costs.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the end of the first full calendar month during
the Term, and within thirty (30) days after the end of each month thereafter during the Term, each
Operator will deliver to the Non-Operating Owner an invoice which will show the total amount
and each Owner’s Pro Rata Share (based on its Ownership Interests) of the Monthly Transmission
Facilities O&M Charge, the Monthly Substation O&M Charge and the Monthly Common
Equipment Charge determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
For purposes of clarity, the first such invoices will include amounts owed for the first full month
and any partial month that precedes it during the Term. Within thirty (30) days after the end of
the first calendar quarter first occurring during the Term (i.e., within 30 days of the first March
31st, June 30th, September 30th, or December 31st during the Term), and within thirty (30) days
after the end of each calendar quarter thereafter during the Term, each Operator will deliver to the
Non-Operating Owner an invoice which will show the total amount and each Owner’s Pro Rata
Share (based on its Ownership Interests) of Other Costs determined in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Other Costs associated with capital
upgrades and improvements to, or repair and reconstruction of, Transmission Facilities: (a) shall
not include AFUDC, provided, that the first Other Costs invoice may include accrued AFUDC on
Prior Projects up to the Effective Date; and (b) that are a Substation Segment shall be invoiced
using estimated Other Costs, provided that each Operator shall provide a final invoice showing a
true-up of estimated Other Costs compared to actual Other Costs after the upgrade, improvement,
repair or reconstruction is placed into service;. The Non-Operating Owner shall pay its Pro Rata
Share (based on its Ownership Interests) of the Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charge, the
Monthly Substation O&M Charge, the Monthly Common Equipment Charge and the Other Costs
shown on the invoice no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Any payment past
due will accrue interest, per annum, calculated in accordance with the methodology specified for
interest in the FERC regulations at 18 C.F.R. § 35.19a(a)(2)(iii) (the “FERC Methodology”). The
failure by an Operator to timely deliver an invoice shall not relieve the Non-Operating Owner of
its payment obligation in respect of its share of the Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charge,
the Monthly Substation O&M Charge, the Monthly Common Equipment Charge and Other Costs
as shown on such invoice, or release the Operating Owner of its responsibility for such invoice.
4.8 Disputed Amounts.
If any Non-Operating Owner disputes any portion of any amount specified in an invoice
delivered by an Operator pursuant to Section 4.7, the Non-Operating Owner shall pay its total
amount of the invoice when due, and, if actually known at the time by the Non-Operating Owner,
identify the disputed amount and state that the disputed amount is being paid under protest. Any
disputed amount shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Article XVII. If it is determined
pursuant to Article XVII that an overpayment or underpayment has been made by the Non-
Operating Owner or the amount of any Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charge, Monthly
Substation O&M Charge, Monthly Common Equipment Charge, or Other Costs allocated to the
Non-Operating Owner on an invoice is incorrect, then: (i) in the case of any overpayment by the
Non-Operating Owner, the Operator shall promptly return the amount of the overpayment (or
credit the amount of the overpayment on the next invoice) to the Non-Operating Owner; (ii) in the
case of an underpayment by the Non-Operating Owner, the Non-Operating Owner shall promptly
24
pay the amount of the underpayment to the Operator (for the benefit of the Operating Owner),
otherwise, the Operator shall charge the Non-Operating Owner for the underpayment on the next
invoice; and (iii) in the case of an incorrect allocation of Other Costs to an Owner, the allocations
of Other Costs on the next invoice shall be adjusted to correct for such incorrect allocation, in each
case, together with interest for the period from the date of overpayment, underpayment or incorrect
allocation until such amount has been paid or credited against a future invoice calculated in the
manner prescribed for calculating interest on refunds under the FERC Methodology.
4.9 Assistance.
Each Non-Operating Owner shall cooperate with the Operator promptly, as and when
reasonably requested by the Operator, to assist the Operator in the performance of its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement, including executing and delivering from
time to time such additional documents, certificates or instruments, and taking such additional
actions, as may be reasonably requested by the Operator. Each Non-Operating Owner shall bear
its own costs for providing such cooperation and assistance as requested by the Operator unless
the Owners agree otherwise in writing.
4.10 Remedies.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
the Operators shall have no liability to the respective Non-Operating Owners in connection with
the performance of their covenants and obligations under this Agreement, except as provided in
this Section 4.10 and Section 14.1(c). The Non-Operating Owners agree that they have a duty to
mitigate any damages and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize any damages
they may incur as a result of an Operator’s failure to perform or breach of any of its covenants or
obligations under this Agreement.
(b) The Owners and Operators acknowledge that the obligations and covenants
performed by the Operators hereunder are unique and that the Non-Operating Owners will be
irreparably injured should such obligations and covenants not be performed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Consequently, the Non-Operating Owners will not have
an adequate remedy at law if the Operators shall fail to perform their obligations and covenants
hereunder. The Non-Operating Owners shall have the right, in addition to any other remedy
available under this Agreement, to specific performance of the Operators’ obligations and
covenants hereunder, and the Owners and Operators agree not to take a position in any proceeding
arising out of this Agreement to the effect that the Non-Operating Owners have an adequate
remedy at law.

with Good Utility Practice, Governmental Requirements and Governmental Authorizations.
Regardless of the foregoing, when an Owner of solely-owned Transmission Facilities that are
operated by the other Party makes a capital upgrade or improvement, the Owner and Operator will
jointly determine equipment specifications. Unless agreed to otherwise, replacement equipment
shall be consistent with the original equipment specifications. The Proposing Owner shall be
responsible for all of the Costs incurred by or on behalf of the Operator in connection with such
capital upgrade or improvement to the Transmission Facilities and title to such capital upgrades or
improvement shall vest solely with the Proposing Owner. Effective as of the date of successful
commissioning of such capital upgrade or improvement, written notice of which the Operator shall
30
provide to the Owners: (i) the Owners’ Ownership Interests, Directional Capacity Allocation
Percentages and Directional Capacity Allocations in respect of such Transmission Facilities and
any applicable Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charge, Substation O&M Allocation, and
Monthly Common Equipment Charge shall be adjusted, if at all, in accordance with Section 3.3;

Facilities, apply such proceeds (up to each Owner’s Pro Rata Share (based on its respective
32
Ownership Interest(s), if any, in the Damaged Facilities) in the amount to be paid) to the repair
and reconstruction of the Damaged Facilities which will be carried out by the Operator. The
Operator will be responsible for obtaining any necessary Governmental Authorizations to repair
or rebuild the Damaged Facilities and determining the manner in which to repair and reconstruct
the Damaged Facilities (including the equipment to be used). Each Owner shall reasonably
cooperate with and support the Operator in obtaining any such Governmental Authorizations in
accordance with Section 4.4(c). The Operator will cause such repairs or reconstruction to be made
so that the Damaged Facilities will be repaired and restored to substantially the same general
condition, character and use as existed prior to such damage or destruction. If the cost of such
repairs or reconstruction exceeds the insurance proceeds required to be applied to the repair or
reconstruction pursuant to this Section 7.1, then the Owners shall pay, in accordance with their
applicable Ownership Interests, if any, the shortfall amount.
7.2 Decision not to Rebuild.
If the Owners, the Operator, or the Owner determines pursuant to Sections 7.1(a)(i),
7.1(a)(ii), or 7.1(a)(iii), respectively, not to repair or rebuild the Damaged Facilities (or cannot
reach agreement to repair or rebuild the Damaged Facilities), then, in each case: (a) each Owner
shall: (i) be entitled to retain any insurance proceeds received pursuant to insurance maintained by
it with respect to the Damaged Facilities; (ii) receive its Pro Rata Share (based on its respective
Ownership Interest(s), if any, in the Damaged Facilities) of any revenues from the salvage or sale
of the Damaged Facilities; and (iii) pay its Pro Rata Share (based on its respective Ownership
Interest(s), if any, in the Damaged Facilities) of any costs of removal of parts and equipment from
the Damaged Facilities; (b) the Operator shall pay to the Owners their Pro Rata Share (based on
their respective Ownership Interest(s), if any, in the Damaged Facilities) of any insurance proceeds
received from any property insurance obtained by the Operator pursuant to Section 4.6(b); and (c)
subject to Section 7.3, this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 2.3(a) solely with respect
to such Damaged Facilities.
7.3 Purchase of Ownership Interest.
If the Owners, the Operator, or the Owner determines pursuant to Sections 7.1(a)(i),
7.1(a)(ii), or 7.1(a)(iii), respectively, not to repair or rebuild the Damaged Facilities (or cannot
reach agreement to repair or rebuild the Damaged Facilities) and, in each case, one Owner desires
to repair or rebuild the Damaged Facilities (the “Continuing Owner”), then the Continuing Owner
shall have the option to purchase all of the Ownership Interest(s) (and associated Directional
Capacity Allocation Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity Allocation(s)) of the other Owner in
the Damaged Facilities. In order to exercise its option to purchase all of the Ownership Interest(s)
(and associated Directional Capacity Allocation Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity
Allocation(s)) of the other Owner in the Damaged Facilities, the Continuing Owner must give
written notice thereof to the other Owner within thirty (30) days of the Owners’ or Operator’s
determination pursuant to Section 7.1 not to repair or rebuild the Damaged Facilities. The Owners
shall enter into such documentation as the Continuing Owner shall reasonably request to document
the purchase and sale of all of the Ownership Interest(s) (and associated Directional Capacity
Allocation Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity Allocation(s)) of the other Owner in the
Damaged Facilities, provided that the purchase price of the Ownership Interest(s) (and associated
Directional Capacity Allocation Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity Allocation(s)) of the other
33
Owner shall be equal to the other Owner’s Pro Rata Share (based on its respective Ownership
Interest(s) in the Damaged Facilities) of the salvage value of the Damaged Facilities.
7.4 Cooperation.
If the Continuing Owner seeks to repair or rebuild the Damaged Facilities purchased from
the other Owner pursuant to Section 7.3, then, at the Continuing Owner’s request and expense, the
other Owner and the responsible Operator (if the Continuing Owner is not the responsible
Operator) will, for a reasonable period of time, cooperate with and use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to assist the Continuing Owner in the repair or rebuilding of the Damaged Facilities. This
Section 7.4 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3(a)
solely with respect to such Damaged Facilities.

If there occurs a loss of title to, or ownership of, or use and possession of, all or any portion
of any of the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment as the result of the exercise of the
right of condemnation or eminent domain by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority, then
the Operator responsible for such Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment will promptly
give notice thereof to the Owners, which notice shall generally describe the nature and extent of
such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings (including any negotiations in connection with
such proceedings). The Operator shall, in consultation with the Owners, use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to resist the loss of title to, or ownership of, or use and possession of, all or any
portion of any of the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment through condemnation or
eminent domain. If, as a result of condemnation or eminent domain, the Owners shall lose title to,
or ownership of, or use and possession of, all or any portion of any of the Transmission Facilities
or Common Equipment, then the Owner or Owners shall determine whether:
(a) the relevant portion of the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment
is no longer useful for the transmission of electric power and should be retired and
decommissioned, in which case the provisions of Article VIII shall control;
(b) the relevant portion of the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment
should be replaced or modified, in which case the Owners will, upon receipt of any awards paid in
connection with such condemnation or eminent domain, apply such awards to the replacement or
modification of the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment which will be carried out by
the Operator responsible for such Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment. The Operator
will, consistent with the decision of the Owner or Owners, as applicable, determine the manner in
which to replace or modify the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment, and will cause
such replacement and modifications to be made so that the Transmission Facilities or Common
Equipment are replaced or modified in accordance with the decision of the Owner or Owners, as
applicable. If the cost of replacement or modification of the Transmission Facilities or Common
Equipment exceeds the awards received by the Owners in connection with such condemnation or
eminent domain, then the Owners shall pay their Pro Rata Share (based on their respective
Ownership Interest(s), if any, in the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment) of the
shortfall amount; or
34
(c) if the Owner or Owners, as applicable, do not reach agreement on one of
the actions provided for in Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(b), or on another course of action, within
sixty (60) days after the date of the notice provided by the Operator to the Owners pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 7.5, then each Owner shall receive its Pro Rata Share (based on its
respective Ownership Interest(s), if any, in the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment) of
all awards received by the Owners (or their Affiliates) in connection with any such condemnation
or eminent domain (less the actual cost, fees and expenses incurred by the Operator in collection
thereof).

8.3 Decommissioning Notice; Purchase of Ownership Interest.
A Proposing Owner shall give written notice to the other Owner when it believes any of
the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment in which it has an Ownership Interest should
be retired and decommissioned (each notice, a “Decommissioning Notice”). If the Non-Proposing
Owner either (i) has an Ownership Interest in the Facilities Proposed for Retirement, or (ii) is an
Impacted Party with respect to the Facilities Proposed for Retirement, and, in either case, desires
to continue the operation of the Facilities Proposed for Retirement, then the Non-Proposing Owner
shall have the option to purchase all of the Ownership Interest(s) (and associated Directional
Capacity Allocation Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity Allocation(s)), if any, of the
Proposing Owner in the Facilities Proposed for Retirement. In order to exercise its option to
purchase all of the Ownership Interest(s) (and associated Directional Capacity Allocation
Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity Allocation(s), if any) of the Proposing Owner in the
Facilities Proposed for Retirement, the Non-Proposing Owner must give written notice thereof to
35
the Proposing Owner within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Decommissioning Notice. The
Owners shall enter into such documentation as each Owner shall reasonably request to document
the purchase and sale of the Ownership Interest(s) (and associated Directional Capacity Allocation
Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity Allocation(s)), if any, of the Proposing Party in the
Facilities Proposed for Retirement, provided that the purchase price of the Ownership Interest(s)
(and associated Directional Capacity Allocation Percentage(s) and Directional Capacity
Allocation(s)) of the Proposing Party shall be equal to the Proposing Party’s Pro Rata Share (based
on its respective Ownership Interest(s), if any, in the Facilities Proposed for Retirement) of the
depreciated cost of the Facilities Proposed for Retirement.
8.4 Cooperation.
If the Non-Proposing Owner seeks to purchase and continue the operation of the Facilities
Proposed for Retirement, then, at the Non-Proposing Owner’s request and expense, the Proposing
Owner and the responsible Operator (if the Non-Proposing Owner is not the responsible Operator)
will, for a reasonable period of time, cooperate with and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
assist the Non-Proposing Owner in the continued operation of the Facilities Proposed for
Retirement. This Section 8.4 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 2.3.

Indemnifying Party written notice of such Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party, contest or, with or without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, settle
such Claim.
(d) Except to the extent expressly provided herein, no Indemnified Party shall
settle any Claim with respect to which it has sought or is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant
to this Article XIV unless: (i) it has obtained the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party;
or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such Claim within a reasonable
period of time after the Indemnified Party has provided the Indemnifying Party written notice of
such Claim.
(e) Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, no Indemnifying
Party shall settle any Claim with respect to which it may be liable to provide indemnification
pursuant to this Section without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that if the Indemnifying Party has reached a bona fide settlement agreement with the
plaintiff(s) in any such proceeding, which settlement includes a full release of the Indemnified
Party for any and all liability with respect to such Claim and does not obligate the Indemnified
Party to take or forbear to take any action, and the Indemnified Party does not consent to such
settlement agreement, then the dollar amount specified in the settlement agreement, plus the
Indemnified Party’s reasonable legal fees and other costs related to the defense of the Claim paid
or incurred prior to the date of such settlement agreement, shall act as an absolute maximum limit
on the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party with respect to the Claim, or portion
thereof, that is the subject of such settlement agreement.
44
14.3 Net Amount.
Subject to the limitation in Section 14.2(e), if applicable, in the event that an Indemnifying
Party is obligated to indemnify and hold any Indemnified Party harmless under this Article XIV,
the amount owing to the Indemnified Party shall be the amount of such Indemnified Party’s actual
Claims, fines or penalties or other Losses, as the case may be, net of any insurance or other
recovery actually received by the Indemnified Party.
14.4 No Release of Insurers.
The provisions of this Article XIV shall not be deemed or construed to release any insurer
from its obligation to pay any insurance proceeds in accordance with the terms and conditions of
valid and collectible insurance policies.
14.5 Mitigation.
Each Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to mitigate all Claims, fines, penalties or other Losses, as the case may be, after
becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Claims, fines,
penalties or other Losses, as the case may be, that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or
in connection herewith.
14.6 Assertion of Claims.
No Claim of any kind shall be asserted against any Owner or Operator pursuant to this
Article XIV, whether arising out of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any
other cause of or form of action, unless it is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction, or a demand
for arbitration is made, within the applicable statute of limitations period for such Claim.
14.7 Survival of Obligation.
The duty to indemnify under this Article XIV shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, with respect to any Claim, fine,
penalty or other Losses, as the case may be, arising out of an event or condition which occurred or
existed prior to such expiration or termination.
14.8 Limitation on Liability.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
Party shall be liable under this Agreement in any action at law or in equity, whether based on
contract, tort or strict liability or otherwise, for any special, incidental, indirect, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages or losses, including any loss of revenue, income, profits or
investment opportunities, loss of the use of equipment, or the cost of temporary equipment or
services, provided that any fines or penalties or other Losses levied or imposed by Governmental
Authorities shall not be excluded under this Section 14.8(a) as special, incidental, indirect,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or losses.
45
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
Party shall be liable under this Agreement if and to the extent that the Agreement Limiting Liability
Among Western Interconnected Systems executed by Idaho Power on August 5, 1985 and by
PacifiCorp on August 22, 1973 (the “WIS Agreement”) is then in effect between the Parties and
expressly limits or precludes such liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall amend or otherwise
affect in any way the terms and conditions of or liability of the Parties under the WIS Agreement.
ARTICLE XV
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
15.1 Disclosure of Proprietary Information Prohibited.
Any Proprietary Information of a Party (whether in its capacity as Owner or Operator) (the
“Transferor”) which is disclosed to or otherwise received or obtained by the other Party (whether
in its capacity as Owner or Operator) (the “Transferee”) incident to this Agreement shall be held
in confidence and the Transferee shall not (subject to Sections 15.2, 15.3 and 15.5) publish or
otherwise disclose any Proprietary Information of the Transferor to any Person for any reason or
purpose whatsoever, or use any Proprietary Information for any purpose other than performance
under this Agreement, without the prior written approval of the Transferor, which approval may
be granted or withheld by the Transferor in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Transferee shall observe at a minimum the same safeguards and precautions
with regard to the Transferor’s Proprietary Information which the Transferee observes with respect
to its own information of the same or similar kind.
15.2 Disclosure by Representatives.
Each Transferee agrees that it will make available Proprietary Information received from
a Transferor to its own Representatives only on a need-to-know basis and in compliance with
Governmental Requirements, and that all Persons to whom such Proprietary Information is made
available will be made aware of the confidential nature of such Proprietary Information, and will
be required to agree to hold such Proprietary Information in confidence in accordance with the
terms hereof and in compliance with Governmental Requirements.
15.3 Permitted Disclosures.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XV:
(a) A Transferee may provide any Proprietary Information to any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over or asserting a right to obtain such information,
provided that: (i) such Governmental Authority orders that such Proprietary Information be
provided; and (ii) unless prohibited from so doing by Governmental Requirements, the Transferee
promptly advises the Transferor of any request for such information by such Governmental
Authority and cooperates in giving the Transferor an opportunity to present objections, requests
for limitation, and/or requests for confidentiality or other restrictions on disclosure or access, to
such Governmental Authority.
(b) A Transferee may, to the extent required, disclose Proprietary Information
to any Governmental Authority in connection with the application for any Governmental
46
Authorization; provided that unless prohibited from so doing by Governmental Requirements, the
Transferee shall provide the Transferor prior written advance notice of such disclosure and the
Proprietary Information that is to be disclosed.
(c) A Transferee may disclose such Proprietary Information regarding the
existence and terms of this Agreement as such Transferee deems necessary to enable it to comply
with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules, regulations and forms of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, issued thereunder or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, or as
otherwise required by Governmental Requirements.
15.4 Injunctive Relief.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Article XV by any
Transferee, the Transferor shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Transferee from such
breach or threatened breach. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the
Transferor from pursuing any other remedies available at law or equity for such breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement.
15.5 Publicity.
Any public relations matters, including public announcements and press releases or similar
publicity, arising out of or in connection with the terms of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated herein, shall be coordinated and agreed to between the Parties prior to said
announcement or release.
15.6 Proprietary Information Defined.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means all information, written
or oral, which has been or is disclosed by the Transferor, or by any Representative of the
Transferor, or which otherwise becomes known to the Transferee, or to any Representative of such
Transferee, or any other party in a confidential relationship with, the Transferee, in each case,
incident to this Agreement, and which: (a) relates to matters such as patents, trade secrets, research
and development activities, draft or final contracts or other business arrangements, books and
records, budgets, cost estimates, pro forma calculations, engineering work product, environmental
compliance, vendor lists, suppliers, manufacturing processes, energy consumption, pricing
information, private processes, and other similar information, as they may exist from time to time;
(b) and the Transferor expressly designates in writing to be confidential, provided that “Proprietary
Information” shall exclude information falling into any of the following categories:
(i) Information that, at the time of disclosure hereunder, is in the public
domain, other than information that entered the public domain by breach of this Agreement by
Transferee or any of its Representatives;
(ii) Information that, after disclosure hereunder, enters the public
domain, other than information that enters the public domain by breach of this Agreement by
Transferee or any of its Representatives;
47
(iii) Information, other than that obtained from third-parties, that prior to
disclosure hereunder, was already in Transferee’s possession, either without limitation on
disclosure to others or subsequently becoming free of such limitation;
(iv) Information obtained by Transferee from a third-party having an
independent right to disclose the information; or
(v) Information that is available through independent research without
use of or access to the Proprietary Information.
15.7 Survival.
The provisions of this Article XV shall continue in full force and effect during the Term
and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement,
with respect to any Proprietary Information obtained by any Transferee prior to such termination.
ARTICLE XVI
TAXES
16.1 No Partnership.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create or constitute a partnership, joint
venture or association between the Owners. Each Owner agrees and covenants that it shall not
take or omit to take any action or reporting position with any Governmental Authority contrary to
this Section 16.1.
16.2 761 Election.
The Owners intend that, as tenants in common and owners of undivided Ownership
Interests, for United States income tax purposes the Owners shall elect in accordance with the
provisions of section 761 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and the
applicable income tax regulations thereunder (“Regulations”), to be excluded from all of the
provisions of Subchapter K of the Code upon the first occasion in which such election may be filed
under these Regulations and that, if such election is not filed, this Agreement shall constitute an
election under Regulations section 1.761-2(b)(2)(ii) to be excluded from all of the provisions of
Subchapter K of the Code and the applicable Regulations, beginning with the first year of the
creation of the tenancy in common as contemplated by this Agreement and that no Owner shall
object to any such election.
16.3 Responsibility for Taxes.
It is the intent of the Owners that so far as possible, each Owner shall separately report,
promptly and timely file returns with respect to, be responsible for and pay all property, income,
franchise, business, or other taxes or fees (“Taxes”), arising out of its Ownership Interests and the
matters contemplated by this Agreement, that such Taxes shall be separately levied and assessed
against each Owner severally and that each Owner shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all
such Taxes so levied and assessed against it without any responsibility of the other Owner with
respect thereto and without the amounts thereof being paid and apportioned between the Owners
48
under this Agreement. To the extent that Taxes (such as property, payroll, sales and use Taxes)
may be levied or assessed against the Transmission Facilities, their operation or the Owners in
such a manner as to make impossible the carrying out of the foregoing provisions of this Section
16.3, then either Operator shall report, file returns with respect to and pay such Taxes and each
Owner shall immediately reimburse such Operator for each such Owner’s Pro Rata Share (based
on its applicable Ownership Interest(s)) of such Taxes; provided, however, that sales and use tax
included in Other Costs or in the Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charge, the Monthly
Substation O&M Charge or the Monthly Common Equipment Charge shall be recovered by the
Operator pursuant to Section 4.7. Neither Operator shall have any obligation to contest or to seek
refund of such Taxes; provided, however, that each Operator may, by its personnel or counsel of
its selection, pursue such administrative or court proceedings as the Operator may determine. Each
Owner shall on request pay to the Operator such Owner’s Pro Rata Share (based on its applicable
Ownership Interest(s)) of the costs of such proceedings and shall share in any savings resulting
from such proceedings in the same proportion. Each Owner agrees to cooperate with the other
Owner with respect to reasonable requests for information or other matters with respect to Taxes.
16.4 Indemnification.
Each Owner (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other
Owner (the “Tax Indemnitee Party”), on an after-tax basis, from and against any Taxes (including
any interest or penalties) imposed on such Tax Indemnitee Party or the Transmission Facilities or
any part thereof, to the extent such Taxes are the responsibility of the Tax Indemnifying Party
pursuant to this Article XVI.
16.5 Determination of Depreciation and Other Matters.
Each Owner shall determine the basis and method it will use for purposes of depreciation
and other matters where investment of the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment is
relevant.
ARTICLE XVII
DISPUTES
17.1 Exclusive Procedure.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach,
interpretation, termination, performance or validity of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) shall be
resolved pursuant to the procedures of this Article XVII.
17.2 Dispute Notices.
If a Dispute arises between the Parties, then either Party may provide written notice thereof
to the other Party, including a detailed description of the subject matter of the Dispute (the “Dispute
Notice”). Any Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial remedy if
such action is necessary to prevent irreparable harm or preserve the status quo, in which case the
Parties nonetheless will continue to pursue resolution of the Dispute pursuant to this Article XVII.
17.3 Informal Dispute Resolution.
49
(a) The Parties shall make a good faith effort to resolve any Dispute by prompt
negotiations between the Party’s representative so designated in writing to the other Party (each a
“Manager”). If the Managers are not able to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the
date of the Dispute Notice, then they shall refer the matter to the designated senior officers of their
respective companies (the “Executive(s)”), who shall have authority to settle the Dispute. If the
Executives are not able to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the date of the Dispute
Notice, then the Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 17.4.
(b) All negotiations, communications and writings exchanged between the
Parties pursuant to this Article XVII shall be treated and maintained as Proprietary Information,
shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the federal and state
rules of evidence, and shall not be used or referred to in any subsequent adjudicatory process
between the Parties, including at FERC, either with respect to the current Dispute or any future
Dispute between the Parties.
17.4 Submission of Dispute to FERC or Approved Courts.
If a Dispute cannot be settled amicably between the Parties pursuant to Section 17.3, then
any Party may, in its sole discretion, within one (1) year after the conclusion of the time period for
informal dispute resolution specified in Section 17.3, submit such Dispute (a) to FERC or (b) to
the jurisdiction of the state courts situated in the State of Idaho or the United States District Court
for the District of Idaho (the “Approved Courts”). Each of the Parties, in its capacity as an Owner
and Operator, consents to and accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Approved Courts and appellate courts from any
appeal thereof, and irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
jurisdiction of the Approved Courts. Each of the Parties, in its capacity as an Owner and Operator,
further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, proceeding or other action brought pursuant to
this Article XVII in any of the Approved Courts, and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, and agrees not to plead or claim in any such Approved Court that any suit,
proceeding or other action brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
17.5 Continued Performance.
During the pendency of any Dispute, each Party shall continue to perform all of its
respective obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XVIII
ASSIGNMENT
18.1 Prohibited Transfers and Assignments.
Neither Party shall have the right to transfer, assign, sell or otherwise dispose of
(collectively, “Transfer”), in whole or in part, its interest in this Agreement, including its rights,
duties and obligations hereunder, nor to Transfer, in whole or in part, its Ownership Interests (or
Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages and Directional Capacity Allocations) in the
Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment, except as permitted under this Article XVIII.
50
18.2 Permitted Assignments and Transfers.
Subject to Section 18.3, the restrictions set forth in Section 18.1 shall not restrict:
(a) Dispositions and sales of equipment or facilities by either Operator incident
to renewals or replacements of the Transmission Facilities or Common Equipment;
(b) The right of an Owner to subject any of its Ownership Interests (or
Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages and Directional Capacity Allocations) to the lien of

collaterally assign its rights and obligations in this Agreement to a lender or other person providing
financing to the Owner;
(c) The right of an Owner to Transfer voluntarily all of its Ownership Interests
(and Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages and Directional Capacity Allocations) and all of
its rights and obligations in this Agreement (including as part of such Transfer, all of its rights and
obligations in this Agreement as an Operator) in connection with any sale, merger or other transfer
of substantially all of such Owner’s electric transmission facilities as an operating entity; provided,
however, that the effectiveness of such Transfer shall be conditioned upon the transferee: (i)
agreeing in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Owner, to assume
all of the rights and obligations of the transferring Owner (including, all of its rights and obligations
in this Agreement as an Operator) as of the transfer date; and (ii) qualifying as a Qualified Owner
on the transfer date;
(d) The right of an Owner to Transfer voluntarily all of its Ownership Interests
(and Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages and Directional Capacity Allocations) and all of
its rights and obligations in this Agreement (including as part of such Transfer, all of its rights and
obligations in this Agreement as an Operator) to an Affiliate of such Owner which owns all or
substantially all of the transmission facilities of such Owner; provided, however, that the
effectiveness of such Transfer shall be conditioned upon the transferee: (i) agreeing in writing, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Owner, to assume all of the rights and
obligations of the transferring Owner (including, all of its rights and obligations in this Agreement
as an Operator) as of the transfer date; and (ii) qualifying as a Qualified Owner on the transfer
date;
(e) The right of any Owner to Transfer voluntarily all of its Ownership Interests
(and Directional Capacity Allocation Percentages and Directional Capacity Allocations) and all of
its rights and obligations in this Agreement (including as part of such Transfer, all of its rights and
obligations in this Agreement as an Operator) to a third party; provided that: (i) the other Owner,
in its sole discretion, approves such Transfer and approves the third-party purchaser as having
demonstrated that it is financially and technically capable of performing the transferring Owner’s
(and Operator’s) obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) the other Owner is offered the right of
first refusal to purchase all of such Ownership Interests (and Directional Capacity Allocation
Percentages and Directional Capacity Allocations) and Common Equipment and all of the
transferring Owner’s rights and obligations in this Agreement (including as part of such Transfer,
all of its rights and obligations in this Agreement as an Operator), on terms no less favorable than
those offered to such proposed third-party purchaser; provided, however, that the effectiveness of
51
such Transfer shall be conditioned upon the third-party purchaser: (A) agreeing in writing, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Owner, to assume all of the rights and
obligations of the transferring Owner (including as part of such Transfer, all of its rights and
obligations in this Agreement as an Operator) as of the transfer date; and (B) qualifying as a
Qualified Owner on the transfer date; and
(f) The right of an Owner to post, sell or make available for scheduling
transmission capacity or schedule energy in accordance with Sections 3.2(b) and 3.2(c), unless
otherwise mutually agreed to in writing in advance by the other Owner.
18.3 FERC Approval.
Any Transfer pursuant to Section 18.2 that is subject to FERC approval shall not take effect
until FERC has approved such Transfer and has made it effective.

19.2 Parties Bound.
This Agreement shall be binding upon each of the Parties and their respective successors
and permitted assigns.
53
19.3 Amendments.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 19.3(c), this Agreement may not
be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, other than pursuant to an instrument in writing
executed by the Parties.
(b) Absent agreement of both Parties to the proposed change and except as
otherwise provided in Section 19.3(c), the standard of review for changes to this Agreement
proposed by a Party, or FERC acting sua sponte, shall be the “public interest” standard of review
set forth in United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Mobile Gas Service Corp., 350 U.S. 332 (1956) and
Federal Power Commission v. Sierra Pacific Power Co., 350 U.S. 348 (1956); provided that the
standard of review for any modification to this Agreement requested by non-contracting third
parties shall be the most stringent standard permissible under then-applicable Governmental
Requirements.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as affecting in any
way the right of either Party to unilaterally make application to FERC under Section 205 or Section
206 of the Federal Power Act for a change in the charges set forth in this Agreement. It is the
intent of the Parties that the standard of review that FERC will apply to any such unilateral
application shall be the just and reasonable standard of review rather than the “public interest”
standard of review.
(d) An amendment that is subject to FERC approval shall not take effect until
FERC has accepted such amendment for filing and has made it effective.
19.4 Waivers.
No waiver by any Party of any one or more breaches or defaults by the other Party in the
performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other
breaches or defaults whether of a like kind or different nature. Any delay, less than any applicable
statutory period of limitations, in asserting or enforcing any rights under this Agreement shall not
be deemed a waiver of such rights. Failure of any Party to enforce any provisions hereof shall not
be construed to waive such provision, or to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof,
or the right of the other Party thereafter to enforce each and every provision thereof.
19.5 Choice of Law.
(a) This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the Parties under this
Agreement, and any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement (whether based on
contract, tort, or any other theory), including all matters of construction, validity, effect,
performance and remedies with respect to this Agreement, shall be governed by and interpreted,
construed, and determined in accordance with, the laws of the State of Idaho (regardless of the
laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law).
(b) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY
54
RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED
WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN
WAIVED.
19.6 Headings.
Article and Section headings used in this Agreement (including headings used in any
Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto) are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect
the construction of this Agreement.
19.7 Relationship of Parties.
The covenants, obligations, and liabilities of the Owners are intended to be several and not
joint or collective, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to create an association, joint
venture, trust or partnership, or to impose a trust or partnership covenant, obligation or liability on
or with regard to any of the Owners. Each Owner shall be individually responsible for its own
covenants, obligations and liability as herein provided. No Owner shall be under the control of,
or shall be deemed to control, the other Owner. Neither Owner shall have the right or power to
bind the other Owner without its express written consent.
19.8 Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other
persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties.
The Parties further agree to replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement
with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of such illegal, void or unenforceable provision.
19.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to nor shall be construed to
confer upon or give to any Person (other than the Parties) any rights or remedies under or by reason
of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein.
19.10 Further Assurances.
Each Party agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such additional documents, and
take such additional actions, as may be reasonably required by the other Party to give effect to the
purposes and intent hereof.
19.11 Conflict of Interest.

interest in other projects or business ventures of any nature and description, independently or with
others.

5 The values in this chart are as of 10/30/2015, unless otherwise noted.
6 Idaho Power has a 100% Ownership Interest in the Big Grassy – MT/ID state line transmission line. The value in this exhibit is the sum of assets currently owned by both Idaho and PacifiCorp. Idaho Power
will acquire the assets associated with this line, currently owned by PacifiCorp, in 2016/2017. The total asset value is provided in Exhibit F for the purposes of the Monthly Transmission Facilities O&M Charge.
EXHIBIT G
Joint Ownership Transmission Loss Calculation and Allocation Methodology
PacifiCorp and Idaho Power agree that as joint Owners of certain Transmission Facilities,
defined in this Agreement, the companies shall calculate, allocate and settle the electric losses
associated with these Transmission Facilities in accordance with this Exhibit.
Collection for Losses:
This Exhibit G does not affect PacifiCorp’s and Idaho Power’s respective OATT-based losses
methodologies. PacifiCorp and Idaho Power shall continue to collect for electric losses in
accordance with their OATTs.
Calculation of the Quantity of Losses:
The quantity of losses for each jointly-owned transmission line or transformer will be calculated
by implementing an I2R calculation based on measurements at one end of each transmission asset
using existing metering equipment and assumed series resistance for each asset. The calculations
and selection of inputs, such as which line or transformer terminal is metered, which quantities
are used (amps or MVA/voltage), and what resistance values for each transmission element are
used, will be agreed upon by each Party. In the case of jointly-owned transformers, a constant
core loss value agreed upon by each Party shall be included in the calculation. The metering
devices used to provide the inputs to the loss calculations may or may not be revenue quality. A
metering device calibration process and schedule shall be agreed upon between the Parties. The
Party responsible for the calculation of losses for each jointly-owned asset is described in Table
1, below. Calculations are to be developed for all hours each calendar month and results are to
be shared with the other Party no later than the 7th working day of the following month.
Allocation of Losses:
The quantity of electric losses on each jointly-owned transmission line or transformer shall be
allocated between each Party consistent with each Party’s asset ownership percentage. Losses
for each asset will be calculated for each hour and multiplied by the asset Ownership Interest of
each Party. Losses will be totaled on a monthly basis differentiating between on-peak hours and
off-peak hours. The Idaho Power portion of losses for all assets located within a PacifiCorp
Balancing Area will be summed and owed to PacifiCorp. The PacifiCorp portion of losses for
all assets located within the Idaho Power Balancing Area will be summed and owed to Idaho
Power. Table 1, below, defines the Balancing Area of each asset, the Party measuring the losses
for the asset, and each Party’s Ownership Interest.
Return of Losses to PacifiCorp:
2
Other than losses for the Jim Bridger generator main step-up transformers (which are described
below), for each calendar month, if the losses owed to PacifiCorp are greater than the losses
owed to Idaho Power, Idaho Power will choose to settle either financially or physically. If settled
financially, Idaho Power’s will settle financially with PacifiCorp in accordance with PacifiCorp
loss return business practice. If settled physically, Idaho Power will return losses to PacifiCorp.
Losses to be returned are the amount owed from Idaho Power to PacifiCorp less the amount
owed from PacifiCorp to Idaho Power. The loss return period will begin on the 15th of the next
month and will continue until the 15th one month later. On-peak losses for the month will be
evenly distributed across all on-peak hours in the loss return period and off-peak losses for the
month will be evenly distributed across all off-peak hours in the loss return period.
Return of Losses to Idaho Power:
For each calendar month, if the losses owed to Idaho Power are greater than the losses owed to
PacifiCorp, PacifiCorp will settle financially with Idaho Power in accordance with Idaho
Power’s loss return business practice. Losses to be settled financially are the amount owed from
PacifiCorp to Idaho Power less the amount owed from Idaho Power to PacifiCorp.

Jim Bridger Generator Main Step-up Transformer Losses:
Losses on the Jim Bridger generator main step-up transformers shall be allocated each hour
between Idaho Power and PacifiCorp based on each Party’s pro rata share of Jim Bridger project
net generation for such hour. The calculation of such losses shall be in accordance with the
following:
1) Jim Bridger #1 generator main step-up transformer loss =
((Jim Bridger #1 generation)2 x (4.4 x 10-6)) + 0.3 MWh
2) Jim Bridger #2 generator main step-up transformer loss =
((Jim Bridger #2 generation)2 x (4.4 x 10-6)) + 0.3 MWh
3) Jim Bridger #3 generator main step-up transformer loss =
4
((Jim Bridger #3 generation)2 x (4.4 x 10-6)) + 0.3 MWh
4) Jim Bridger #4 generator main step-up transformer loss =
((Jim Bridger #4 generation)2 x (4.4 x 10-6)) + 0.3 MWh
Jim Bridger main step-up transformer loss = Jim Bridger #1 step-up transformer loss + Jim
Bridger #2 step-up transformer loss + Jim Bridger #3 step-up transformer loss + Jim Bridger #4
step-up transformer loss.
Idaho Power’s share of Jim Bridger main step-up transformer losses shall be physically returned
to PacifiCorp. Such losses shall be scheduled to PacifiCorp 168 hours after the hour in which
such obligation for losses was incurred.
