The base rates listed for Schedules 6 and 8 reflect the rates resulting from the
settlement agreement reached in Case No. GNR-U-18-01. If the Commission were to approve
different rates other than the rates resulting from the settlement agreement, the Company will
file revised tariff schedules for both Schedule 6 and 8 after an order is received in Case No.
GNR-U-18-01. Also, the Monthly Charge subsection on page 5 of Schedule 8 was updated to
include Schedule 54 (Fixed Cost Adjustment) and the reference to the Customer’s January
2014 Billing Period was removed from subsection 1(b) on page 3, under Conditions of
Purchase and Sale.
Please note that Schedules 54 (FCA) and 55 (PCA) were not provided in revision form
with this compliance filing. References to new Schedules 6 and 8 will be added to Schedules
54 and 55; however, the revision form of Schedules 54 and 55 will be filed with the compliance
filings for their respective cases, IPC-E-18-02 and IPC-E-18-06, after the Commission has
issued an order in each case.
In compliance with Order No. 34046, Schedule 84 will close to Idaho residential and
small general service customers on June 1, 2018. Idaho Power will move existing residential
and small general service customers from Schedule 84 to Schedule 6 and 8, respectively,
coincident with each customer’s regularly scheduled cycle billing immediately following June 1,
2018.

RULE C
SERVICE AND LIMITATIONS
1. Rates and Tariff. Service supplied by the Company will be in accordance with the Tariff on
file with the state regulatory authority having jurisdiction, and as in effect at the time service is supplied.
All service rates and agreements are subject to the continuing jurisdiction and regulation of such
authority, as provided by law.
When any municipal corporation or other local taxing agency imposes on the Company any
franchise, occupation, sales, license, excise, business, operating, privilege, or use of street tax or
charge based upon meters or Customers, or upon electricity sold or the receipts or income therefrom,
the prorate amount thereof will be billed to all Customers in the area or locality in which such tax or
charge applies and will be separately stated on, and added to, the regular billing.
2. Supplying of Service. Service will be supplied under a given schedule only to Points of
Delivery as are adjacent to facilities of the Company, adequate and suitable as to capacity and voltage for
the service desired and under the schedule applicable thereto. The Company will not be obligated to
construct extensions or install additional service facilities except in accordance with Rule H. In all other
cases, special agreements between the Customer and the Company may be required.
3. Service Application. The Company will normally accept an application for service from the
Customer by telephone, through the Company’s Web site or by other oral communication. The Company
may however, at its discretion, require the Customer to sign an application requesting service
4. Choice of Schedules. The Company's schedules are designed to provide monthly rates
for service supplied to the Customer on an annual basis. The Customer may elect to take service under
any of the schedules applicable to this annual service requirement, and the Company will endeavor to
assist in the selection of the appropriate schedule most favorable to the Customer. Changing of
schedules will occur only when the characteristics of the Customer's usage change such that another
applicable schedule is deemed more favorable to the Customer when applied to the Customer's annual
service requirements. Customers receiving service under Schedules 7, 8, 9, and 19 will be reviewed on a
monthly basis under the provisions established in the Applicability section of each of these schedules.
5. Point of Delivery Service Requirements. A Customer may be served at more than one
Point of Delivery at the same Premises if practicable, unless otherwise specified in a schedule. Service at
each Point of Delivery at the same Premises will be offered under the appropriate schedule. The
Customer's request for service at an additional Point of Delivery will be subject to the applicable line
extension rules of the Company. The Company may refuse to provide service at more than one Point of
Delivery at the same Premises if it is determined by the Company that the additional Point of Delivery
cannot be provided without jeopardizing the safety and reliability of the Company's system or service to
the Customer or to other Customers. Service provided to a Customer at multiple Points of Delivery at the
same Premises will not be interconnected electrically.

RULE G
BILLINGS
1. Fractional Periods. When the Customer’s Billing Period is less than 27 days or greater
than 36 days, the Energy Charge for service under Schedules 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19, or 24 will be
calculated using actual meter readings. The Energy Charge for service provided under Schedule 40
will be determined using the daily kWh calculated on the basis of load size and number of units served
multiplied by the actual number of days since the account was opened or since the previous billing,
where appropriate. The proration of the applicable Demand Charge, Basic Charge, Facilities Charge,
and Service Charge specified in the appropriate schedule will be calculated by dividing the charge by
30 and multiplying the result by the actual number of days since the account was opened or since the
previous meter reading, where appropriate. However, the prorated Service Charge for Schedules 1, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19, or 24 or the Minimum Charge for Schedule 40, will be no less than the amount
specified in Schedule 66. For Schedule 15, the proration of the applicable Monthly Charge will be
calculated by dividing the charge by 30 and multiplying the result by the actual number of days since
the account was opened or the previous billing, where appropriate; however, in no event will the charge
be less than the Fractional Period Minimum Billings amount specified in Schedule 66.
2. Corrected Billings. Whenever it is determined that a Customer was billed under an
inappropriate schedule, the Customer will be rebilled under the appropriate schedule, except if the
Company selected the schedule on the basis of available information and acted in good faith, the
Company will not be required to rebill or adjust billings. When the customer has been overcharged, the
rebilling period will be no more than the 3-year period as provided by Idaho Code §61-642. When the
customer has been undercharged, the rebilling period shall be limited to six months unless a reasonable
person should have known of the inappropriate billing, in which case the rebilling period may be extended
for a period not to exceed three years.
If the average error for any meter test exceeds ±2 percent, corrected billings will be
prepared. The corrected billings will not exceed 6 months if the time when the malfunction or error began
is unknown. If the time when the malfunction or error began is known and the customer was
overcharged, the corrected billings will be from that time, but will not exceed the 3 year period as provided
by Idaho Code §61-642. If the time when the malfunction or error began is known and the customer was
undercharged, the Company will rebill for a period of six months unless a reasonable person should have
known of the inaccurate billing, in which case the rebilling may be extended for a period not to exceed
three years. If an under-billing occurs, the Company will offer and enter into reasonable payment
arrangements with the Customer. For any over-billings, the Customer will have the choice of a refund or
a credit on future bills.
3. Due Dates. The Company's practices relating to Due Dates are governed by the Utility
Customer Relations Rules (UCRR) of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, in effect at the time the
event occurred which required application of the UCRR. If the Company's Rules and Regulations on
file with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission contain provisions which conflict with the UCRR, the
provisions of the UCRR supersede those included in the Company's Rules and Regulations.
4. Returned Checks. Checks or payments remitted by Customers in payment of bills are
accepted conditionally. A Returned Check Charge, as specified in Schedule 66, will be assessed the
Customer for handling each check or payment upon which payment has been refused by the bank.

INSTALLATIONS OR
ALTERATIONS
This rule applies to requests for electric service under Schedules 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19, 24, 45,
and 46 that require the installation, alteration, relocation, removal, or attachment of Company-owned
distribution facilities. New construction beyond the Point of Delivery for Schedule 9 or Schedule 19 is
subject to the provisions for facilities charges under those schedules. This rule does not apply to
transmission or substation facilities, or to requests for electric service that are of a speculative nature.
1. Definitions
Additional Applicant is a person or entity whose Application requires the Company to provide
new or relocated service from an existing section of distribution facilities with a Vested Interest.
Alteration is any change or proposed change to existing distribution facilities. An alteration may
include Relocation, Upgrade, Conversion, and/or removal.
Applicant is a person or entity whose Application requires the Company to provide new or
relocated service from distribution facilities that are free and clear of any Vested Interest.
Application is a request by an Applicant or Additional Applicant for new electric service from the
Company. The Company, at its discretion, may require the Applicant or Additional Applicant to
sign a written application.
Company Betterment is that portion of the Work Order Cost of a Line Installation and/or
Alteration that provides a benefit to the Company not required by the Applicant or Additional
Applicant. Increases in conductor size and work necessitated by the increase in conductor size
are considered a Company Betterment if the Connected Load added by the Applicant or
Additional Applicant is less than 100 kilowatts. If, however, in the Company’s discretion, it is
determined that the additional Connected Load added by the Applicant or Additional Applicant,
even though less than 100 kilowatts, is (1) located in a remote location, or (2) a part of a
development or project which will add a load greater than 100 kilowatts, the Company will not
consider the work necessitated by the load increase to be a Company Betterment.
Connected Load is the total nameplate kW rating of the electric loads connected for commercial,
industrial, or irrigation service. Connected Load for residences is considered to be 25 kW for
residences with electric space heat and 15 kW for all other residences.
Conversion is a request by a customer to replace overhead facilities with underground facilities.
Cost Quote is a written cost estimate provided by the Company that must be signed and paid by
the Applicant or Additional Applicant prior to the start of construction. Cost Quotes are derived
from Work Order Cost estimates.

RULE I
BUDGET PAY PLANS
1. Residential Budget Pay Plan - Schedules 1, 4, 5, and 6. A Budget Pay Plan is available to
Residential Customers desiring to levelize payments for electric service. If a Customer has more than
one electric service on the account, each electric service charge will be levelized individually. A
Customer may sign up for the Budget Pay Plan at any time during the year. In order to be eligible for the
Budget Pay Plan, the Customer’s account must not be in arrears and the customer must have received
service at the same location for a minimum of nine months.
The levelized payment will approximate the average of 12 monthly billings based on either the
historical charges, or an estimate of future charges. The Budget Pay amount for each electric service
on the account will be adjusted to the next higher dollar. Budget Pay amounts will be recalculated at
the 12-month (or 365-day) anniversary of the first bill that was generated after the Customer enrolled in
the Budget Pay Plan. The new monthly payment will be the recalculated Budget Pay amount(s). A
Customer’s Budget Pay amount(s) may decrease, increase, or remain the same.
Customers with a negative balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation
will have monthly Budget Pay charges equal to the recalculated Budget Pay amount plus one-twelfth of
the negative balance. At the Customer’s request, a negative balance may be paid in full. Customers with
a positive balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation, or upon termination of the
agreement after all charges for services have been paid, will be refunded at the Customer’s request. If no
request for refund is made, the monthly Budget Pay charges will be equal to the recalculated Budget Pay
amount reduced by one-twelfth of the positive balance. Upon the Customer’s request, a positive balance
for one Budget Pay electric service may be transferred to the balance of another Budget Pay electric
service on the account.
Any estimates furnished by the Company with such Budget Pay Plan should not be construed as
a guarantee that the total actual charges will not exceed the estimates. The Company, because of rate
changes or other requirements, may at any time submit a revised estimate to the Customer and require
that the Customer pay the revised monthly Budget Pay installment as a condition to the continuation of
the Budget Pay Plan for the Customer.
The Budget Pay amount(s) will be billed on the regular service bill each month. Once
established, the Budget Pay Plan will remain in effect from year to year until the Customer notifies the
Company not less than 30 days prior to the desired date of cancellation or unless the Customer fails to
pay the agreed amounts.
2. Small General Service Budget Pay Plan - Schedules 7 and 8. A Budget Pay Plan is
available to Small General Service Customers receiving service on Schedules 7 and 8. If a Customer
has more than one electric service on the account, each electric service charge will be levelized
individually. If a Customer transfers to another schedule (other than Schedules 1, 4, 5, or 6), the Budget
Pay Plan will not be available. A Customer may sign up for the Budget Pay Plan at any time during the
year.
In order to qualify, the Customer must have been receiving service at the same location, under the
same ownership and account number, and with all monthly billings paid on or before the past due date for
at least 12 months prior to applying for the Budget Pay Plan. The Customer must maintain the payment
status as described above or the Customer will be removed from the Budget Pay Plan on the next
monthly billing and all past due balances will become immediately due and payable.

SCHEDULE 6
RESIDENTIAL SERVICE
ON-SITE GENERATION
AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available at points on the Company's interconnected system within
the State of Idaho where existing facilities of adequate capacity and desired phase and voltage are
adjacent to the location where Residential Service, On-Site Generation is desired, and where additional
investment by the Company for new transmission, substation or terminal facilities is not necessary to
supply the desired service. This service is available to Customers intending to operate Small On-Site
Generation Systems to generate electricity to reduce all or part of the monthly energy usage.
APPLICABILITY
Service under this schedule is applicable to Electric Service required for residential service
Customers for general domestic uses, including single phase motors of 7½ horsepower rating or less,
subject to the following conditions:
1. When a portion of a dwelling is used regularly for business, professional or other gainful
purposes, or when service is supplied in whole or in part for business, professional, or other gainful
purposes, the Premises will be classified as non-residential and the appropriate General Service
Schedule will apply. However, if the wiring is so arranged that the service for residential purposes can
be metered separately, this schedule will be applied to such service.
2. Whenever the Customer's equipment does not conform to the Company's specifications
for service under this schedule, service will be supplied under the appropriate General Service Schedule.
3. This schedule is not applicable to standby service, service for resale, or shared service.
4. Customer owns and/or operates a Generation Facility fueled by solar, wind, biomass,
geothermal, hydropower or represents fuel cell technology, with a total nameplate capacity rating of 25
kilowatts (kW) or less, that is connected in parallel with the Idaho Power System.
5. The Generation Facility is interconnected to the Customer’s individual electric system on
the Customer’s side of the Point of Delivery, thus all energy received and delivered by the Company is
through the Company’s existing watt-hour retail meter.
6. Customer meets all requirements applicable to Small On-Site Generation Systems
detailed in the Company’s Schedule 72, Interconnections to Non-Utility Generation.
DEFINITIONS
Designated Meter is the retail meter physically connected to the Small On-Site Generation

Generation Facility means all equipment used to generate electric energy where the resulting
energy is delivered to the Company via a single meter at the Point of Delivery or is consumed by the
Customer.
Interconnection Facilities are all facilities reasonably required by Prudent Electrical Practices and
the applicable electric and safety codes to interconnect and safely deliver energy from the Generation
Facility to the Point of Delivery.
Parallel connection means generating electricity from an on-site generation system that is
connected to and receives voltage from Idaho Power’s system.
Point of Delivery is the retail metering point where the Company's and the Customer’s electrical
facilities are interconnected to allow the Customer to take retail electric service from the Company.
Prudent Electrical Practices are those practices, methods and equipment that are commonly used
in prudent electrical engineering and operations to operate electric equipment lawfully and with safety,
dependability, efficiency and economy.

5.3 Temporary Disconnection. Temporary disconnection shall continue only for so
long as reasonably necessary under “Good Utility Practice.” Good Utility Practice means any of
the practices, methods and acts engaged in or approved by a significant portion of the electric
industry during the relevant time period, or any of the practices, methods and acts which, in the
exercise of reasonable judgment in light of the facts known at the time the decision was made,
could have been expected to accomplish the desired result at a reasonable cost consistent with
good business practices, reliability, safety and expedition. Good Utility Practice is not intended
to be limited to the optimum practice, method, or act to the exclusion of all others, but rather to
be acceptable practices, methods, or acts generally accepted in the region. Good Utility
Practice includes compliance with WECC or NERC requirements. Payment of lost revenue
resulting from temporary disconnection shall be governed by the power purchase agreement.
5.3.1 Emergency Conditions. "Emergency Condition" means a condition or
situation: (1) that in the judgment of the Party making the claim is imminently likely to
endanger life or property; or (2) that, in the case of the Company, is imminently likely (as
determined in a non-discriminatory manner) to cause a material adverse effect on the
security of, or damage to the Company’s transmission/distribution system, the
Company’s Interconnection Facilities or the equipment of the Company’s customers; or
(3) that, in the case of the Seller, is imminently likely (as determined in a non-
discriminatory manner) to cause a material adverse effect on the reliability and security
of, or damage to, the Generation Facility or the Seller’s Interconnection Facilities. Under
Emergency Conditions, either the Company or the Seller may immediately suspend
interconnection service and temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility. The
Company shall notify the Seller promptly when it becomes aware of an Emergency
Condition that may reasonably be expected to affect the Seller’s operation of the
Generation Facility. The Seller shall notify the Company promptly when it becomes
aware of an Emergency Condition that may reasonably be expected to affect the
Company’s equipment or service to the Company’s customers. To the extent
information is known, the notification shall describe the Emergency Condition, the extent
of the damage or deficiency, the expected effect on the operation of both Parties'
facilities and operations, its anticipated duration, and the necessary corrective action.

5.3.2 Routine Maintenance, Construction, and Repair. The Company may
interrupt interconnection service or curtail the output of the Seller’s Generation Facility
and temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility from the Company’s
transmission/distribution system when necessary for routine maintenance, construction,
and repairs on the Company’s transmission/distribution system. The Company will
make a reasonable attempt to contact the Seller prior to exercising its rights to interrupt
interconnection or curtail deliveries from the Seller’s Facility. Seller understands that in
the case of emergency circumstances, real time operations of the electrical system,
and/or unplanned events, the Company may not be able to provide notice to the Seller
prior to interruption, curtailment or reduction of electrical energy deliveries to the
Company. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate such reduction or
temporary disconnection with the Seller.
5.3.3 Scheduled Maintenance. On or before January 31 of each calendar year,
Seller shall submit a written proposed maintenance schedule of significant Facility
maintenance for that calendar year and the Company and Seller shall mutually agree as
to the acceptability of the proposed schedule. The Parties determination as to the
acceptability of the Seller’s timetable for scheduled maintenance will take into
consideration Good Utility Practices, Idaho Power system requirements and the Seller’s
preferred schedule. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold acceptance of the
proposed maintenance schedule.
5.3.4. Maintenance Coordination. The Seller and the Company shall, to the
extent practical, coordinate their respective transmission/distribution system and
Generation Facility maintenance schedules such that they occur simultaneously. Seller
shall provide and maintain adequate protective equipment sufficient to prevent damage
to the Generation Facility and Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities. In some cases,
some of Seller’s protective relays will provide back-up protection for Idaho Power’s
facilities. In that event, Idaho Power will test such relays annually and Seller will pay the
actual cost of such annual testing.

5.3.5 Forced Outages. During any forced outage, the Company may suspend
interconnection service to effect immediate repairs on the Company’s
transmission/distribution system. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide
the Seller with prior notice. If prior notice is not given, the Company shall, upon request,
provide the Seller written documentation after the fact explaining the circumstances of
the disconnection.
5.3.6 Adverse Operating Effects. The Company shall notify the Seller as soon
as practicable if, based on Good Utility Practice, operation of the Seller’s Generation
Facility may cause disruption or deterioration of service to other customers served from
the same electric system, or if operating the Generation Facility could cause damage to
the Company’s transmission/distribution system or other affected systems. Supporting
documentation used to reach the decision to disconnect shall be provided to the Seller
upon request. If, after notice, the Seller fails to remedy the adverse operating effect
within a reasonable time, the Company may disconnect the Generation Facility. The
Company shall provide the Seller with reasonable notice of such disconnection, unless
the provisions of Article 5.3.1 apply.
5.3.7 Modification of the Generation Facility. The Seller must receive written
authorization from the Company before making any change to the Generation Facility
that may have a material impact on the safety or reliability of the Company’s
transmission/distribution system. Such authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Modifications shall be done in accordance with Good Utility Practice. If the Seller makes
such modification without the Company’s prior written authorization, the latter shall have
the right to temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility.
5.3.8 Reconnection. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to restore the
Generation Facility, Interconnection Facilities, and the Company’s
transmission/distribution system to their normal operating state as soon as reasonably
practicable following a temporary disconnection.

5.3.9 Voltage Levels. Seller, in accordance with Good Utility Practices, shall
minimize voltage fluctuations and maintain voltage levels acceptable to Idaho Power.
Idaho Power may, in accordance with Good Utility Practices, upon one hundred eighty
(180) days' notice to the Seller, change its nominal operating voltage level by more than
ten percent (10%) at the Point of Delivery, in which case Seller shall modify, at Idaho
Power's expense, Seller's equipment as necessary to accommodate the modified
nominal operating voltage level.
5.4 Land Rights.
5.4.1 Seller to Provide Access. Seller hereby grants to Idaho Power for the
term of this Agreement all necessary rights-of-way and easements to install, operate,
maintain, replace, and remove Idaho Power's Metering Equipment, Interconnection
Equipment, Disconnection Equipment, Protection Equipment and other Special Facilities
necessary or useful to this Agreement, including adequate and continuing access rights
on property of Seller. Seller warrants that it has procured sufficient easements and
rights-of-way from third parties so as to provide Idaho Power with the access described
above. All documents granting such easements or rights-of-way shall be subject to
Idaho Power's approval and in recordable form.
5.4.2 Use of Public Rights-of-Way. The Parties agree that it is necessary to
avoid the adverse environmental and operating impacts that would occur as a result of
duplicate electric lines being constructed in close proximity. Therefore, subject to Idaho
Power's compliance with Paragraph 5.4.4, Seller agrees that should Seller seek and
receive from any local, state or federal governmental body the right to erect, construct
and maintain Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities upon, along and over any and all
public roads, streets and highways, then the use by Seller of such public right-of-way
shall be subordinate to any future use by Idaho Power of such public right-of-way for
construction and/or maintenance of electric distribution and transmission facilities and
Idaho Power may claim use of such public right-of-way for such purposes at any time.
Except as required by Paragraph 5.4.4, Idaho Power shall not be required to
compensate Seller for exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.2.

5.4.3 Joint Use of Facilities. Subject to Idaho Power's compliance with
Paragraph 15.4.4, Idaho Power may use and attach its distribution and/or transmission
facilities to Seller's Interconnection Facilities, may reconstruct Seller's Interconnection
Facilities to accommodate Idaho Power's usage or Idaho Power may construct its own
distribution or transmission facilities along, over and above any public right-of-way
acquired from Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5.4.2, attaching Seller's Interconnection
Facilities to such newly constructed facilities. Except as required by Paragraph 5.4.4,
Idaho Power shall not be required to compensate Seller for exercising its rights under
this Paragraph 5.4.3.
5.4.4 Conditions of Use. It is the intention of the Parties that the Seller be left in
substantially the same condition, both financially and electrically, as Seller existed prior
to Idaho Power's exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4. Therefore, the Parties
agree that the exercise by Idaho Power of any of the rights enumerated in Paragraphs
5.4.2 and 5.4.3 shall: (1) comply with all applicable laws, codes and Good Utility
Practices, (2) equitably share the costs of installing, owning and operating jointly used
facilities and rights-of-way. If the Parties are unable to agree on the method of
apportioning these costs, the dispute will be submitted to the Commission for resolution
and the decision of the Commission will be binding on the Parties, and (3) shall provide
Seller with an interconnection to Idaho Power's system of equal capacity and durability
as existed prior to Idaho Power exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.
6. Assignment, Liability, Indemnity, Force majeure, Consequential Damages and Default.
6.1 Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by either Party upon twenty-one
(21) calendar days prior written notice and opportunity to object by the other Party; provided
that:
6.1.1 Either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other
Party to any affiliate of the assigning Party with an equal or greater credit rating and with
the legal authority and operational ability to satisfy the obligations of the assigning Party
under this Agreement.

6.1.2 The Seller shall have the right to contingently assign this Agreement,
without the consent of the Company, for collateral security purposes to aid in providing
financing for the Generation Facility, provided that the Seller will promptly notify the
Company of any such contingent assignment.
6.1.3 Any attempted assignment that violates this article is void and ineffective.
Assignment shall not relieve a Party of its obligations, nor shall a Party's obligations be
enlarged, in whole or in part, by reason thereof. An assignee is responsible for meeting
the same financial, credit, and insurance obligations as the Seller. Where required,
consent to assignment will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
6.2 Limitation of Liability. Each Party's liability to the other Party for any loss, cost,
claim, injury, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, relating to or arising from
any act or omission in its performance of this Agreement, shall be limited to the amount of direct
damage actually incurred. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for any
indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages, except as authorized by this Agreement.
6.3 Indemnity.
6.3.1 This provision protects each Party from liability incurred to third parties as
a result of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement. Liability under this provision is
exempt from the general limitations on liability found in Article 6.2.
6.3.2 The Parties shall at all times indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party
harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, including claims and actions
relating to injury to or death of any person or damage to property, demand, 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 other Party's action or failure to
meet its obligations under this Agreement on behalf of the indemnifying Party, except in
cases of gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing by the indemnified Party.

person shall be the amount of such indemnified person's actual loss, net of any
insurance or other recovery.
6.3.5 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified person of any claim or notice of
the commencement of any action or administrative or legal proceeding or investigation
as to which the indemnity provided for in this article may apply, the indemnified person
shall notify the indemnifying party of such fact. Any failure of or delay in such notification
shall be a Material Breach and shall not affect a Party's indemnification obligation unless
such failure or delay is materially prejudicial to the indemnifying party.
6.4 Force Majeure. As used in this Agreement, “Force Majeure” or “an event of
Force Majeure” means any cause beyond the control of the Seller or of the Company which,
despite the exercise of due diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or overcome. Force
Majeure includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, storms, wars, hostilities, civil
strife, strikes and other labor disturbances, earthquakes, fires, lightning, epidemics, sabotage, or
changes in law or regulation occurring after the Operation Date, which, by the exercise of
reasonable foresight such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by the
exercise of due diligence, it shall be unable to overcome. If either Party is rendered wholly or in
part unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement because of an event of Force
Majeure, both Parties shall be excused from whatever performance is affected by the event of
Force Majeure, provided that:
(1) The non-performing Party shall, as soon as is reasonably possible after
the occurrence of the Force Majeure, give the other Party written notice describing the
particulars of the occurrence.

ownership of the Interconnection Facilities but instead wishes that Idaho Power reimburse the
Seller for said Facilities the Seller may invoice Idaho Power for the net salvage value as
estimated by Idaho Power and Idaho Power shall pay such amount to Seller within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the invoice. Seller shall have the right to offset the invoice amount against

RULE C
SERVICE AND LIMITATIONS
1. Rates and Tariff. Service supplied by the Company will be in accordance with the Tariff on
file with the state regulatory authority having jurisdiction, and as in effect at the time service is supplied.
All service rates and agreements are subject to the continuing jurisdiction and regulation of such
authority, as provided by law.
When any municipal corporation or other local taxing agency imposes on the Company any
franchise, occupation, sales, license, excise, business, operating, privilege, or use of street tax or
charge based upon meters or Customers, or upon electricity sold or the receipts or income therefrom,
the prorate amount thereof will be billed to all Customers in the area or locality in which such tax or
charge applies and will be separately stated on, and added to, the regular billing.
2. Supplying of Service. Service will be supplied under a given schedule only to Points of
Delivery as are adjacent to facilities of the Company, adequate and suitable as to capacity and voltage for
the service desired and under the schedule applicable thereto. The Company will not be obligated to
construct extensions or install additional service facilities except in accordance with Rule H. In all other
cases, special agreements between the Customer and the Company may be required.
3. Service Application. The Company will normally accept an application for service from the
Customer by telephone, through the Company’s Web site or by other oral communication. The Company
may however, at its discretion, require the Customer to sign an application requesting service
4. Choice of Schedules. The Company's schedules are designed to provide monthly rates
for service supplied to the Customer on an annual basis. The Customer may elect to take service under
any of the schedules applicable to this annual service requirement, and the Company will endeavor to
assist in the selection of the appropriate schedule most favorable to the Customer. Changing of
schedules will occur only when the characteristics of the Customer's usage change such that another
applicable schedule is deemed more favorable to the Customer when applied to the Customer's annual
service requirements. Customers receiving service under Schedules 7, 8, 9, and 19 will be reviewed on a
monthly basis under the provisions established in the Applicability section of each of these schedules.
5. Point of Delivery Service Requirements. A Customer may be served at more than one
Point of Delivery at the same Premises if practicable, unless otherwise specified in a schedule. Service at
each Point of Delivery at the same Premises will be offered under the appropriate schedule. The
Customer's request for service at an additional Point of Delivery will be subject to the applicable line
extension rules of the Company. The Company may refuse to provide service at more than one Point of
Delivery at the same Premises if it is determined by the Company that the additional Point of Delivery
cannot be provided without jeopardizing the safety and reliability of the Company's system or service to
the Customer or to other Customers. Service provided to a Customer at multiple Points of Delivery at the
same Premises will not be interconnected electrically.

Advice No. 09-05
RULE G
BILLINGS
1. Fractional Periods. When the Customer’s Billing Period is less than 27 days or greater
than 36 days, the Energy Charge for service under Schedules 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19, or 24 will be
calculated using actual meter readings. The Energy Charge for service provided under Schedule 40
will be determined using the daily kWh calculated on the basis of load size and number of units served
multiplied by the actual number of days since the account was opened or since the previous billing,
where appropriate. The proration of the applicable Demand Charge, Basic Charge, Facilities Charge,
and Service Charge specified in the appropriate schedule will be calculated by dividing the charge by
30 and multiplying the result by the actual number of days since the account was opened or since the
previous meter reading, where appropriate. However, the prorated Service Charge for Schedules 1, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19, or 24 or the Minimum Charge for Schedule 40, will be no less than the amount
specified in Schedule 66. For Schedule 15, the proration of the applicable Monthly Charge will be
calculated by dividing the charge by 30 and multiplying the result by the actual number of days since
the account was opened or the previous billing, where appropriate; however, in no event will the charge
be less than the Fractional Period Minimum Billings amount specified in Schedule 66.
2. Corrected Billings. Whenever it is determined that a Customer was billed under an
inappropriate schedule, the Customer will be rebilled under the appropriate schedule, except if the
Company selected the schedule on the basis of available information and acted in good faith, the
Company will not be required to rebill or adjust billings. When the customer has been overcharged, the
rebilling period will be no more than the 3-year period as provided by Idaho Code §61-642. When the
customer has been undercharged, the rebilling period shall be limited to six months unless a reasonable
person should have known of the inappropriate billing, in which case the rebilling period may be extended
for a period not to exceed three years.
If the average error for any meter test exceeds ±2 percent, corrected billings will be
prepared. The corrected billings will not exceed 6 months if the time when the malfunction or error began
is unknown. If the time when the malfunction or error began is known and the customer was
overcharged, the corrected billings will be from that time, but will not exceed the 3 year period as provided
by Idaho Code §61-642. If the time when the malfunction or error began is known and the customer was
undercharged, the Company will rebill for a period of six months unless a reasonable person should have
known of the inaccurate billing, in which case the rebilling may be extended for a period not to exceed
three years. If an under-billing occurs, the Company will offer and enter into reasonable payment
arrangements with the Customer. For any over-billings, the Customer will have the choice of a refund or
a credit on future bills.
3. Due Dates. The Company's practices relating to Due Dates are governed by the Utility
Customer Relations Rules (UCRR) of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, in effect at the time the
event occurred which required application of the UCRR. If the Company's Rules and Regulations on
file with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission contain provisions which conflict with the UCRR, the
provisions of the UCRR supersede those included in the Company's Rules and Regulations.
4. Returned Checks. Checks or payments remitted by Customers in payment of bills are
accepted conditionally. A Returned Check Charge, as specified in Schedule 66, will be assessed the
Customer for handling each check or payment upon which payment has been refused by the bank.

INSTALLATIONS OR
ALTERATIONS
This rule applies to requests for electric service under Schedules 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19, 24, 45,
and 46 that require the installation, alteration, relocation, removal, or attachment of Company-owned
distribution facilities. New construction beyond the Point of Delivery for Schedule 9 or Schedule 19 is
subject to the provisions for facilities charges under those schedules. This rule does not apply to
transmission or substation facilities, or to requests for electric service that are of a speculative nature.
1. Definitions
Additional Applicant is a person or entity whose Application requires the Company to provide
new or relocated service from an existing section of distribution facilities with a Vested Interest.
Alteration is any change or proposed change to existing distribution facilities. An alteration may
include Relocation, Upgrade, Conversion, and/or removal.
Applicant is a person or entity whose Application requires the Company to provide new or
relocated service from distribution facilities that are free and clear of any Vested Interest.
Application is a request by an Applicant or Additional Applicant for new electric service from the
Company. The Company, at its discretion, may require the Applicant or Additional Applicant to
sign a written application.
Company Betterment is that portion of the Work Order Cost of a Line Installation and/or
Alteration that provides a benefit to the Company not required by the Applicant or Additional
Applicant. Increases in conductor size and work necessitated by the increase in conductor size
are considered a Company Betterment if the Connected Load added by the Applicant or
Additional Applicant is less than 100 kilowatts. If, however, in the Company’s discretion, it is
determined that the additional Connected Load added by the Applicant or Additional Applicant,
even though less than 100 kilowatts, is (1) located in a remote location, or (2) a part of a
development or project which will add a load greater than 100 kilowatts, the Company will not
consider the work necessitated by the load increase to be a Company Betterment.
Connected Load is the total nameplate kW rating of the electric loads connected for commercial,
industrial, or irrigation service. Connected Load for residences is considered to be 25 kW for
residences with electric space heat and 15 kW for all other residences.
Conversion is a request by a customer to replace overhead facilities with underground facilities.
Cost Quote is a written cost estimate provided by the Company that must be signed and paid by
the Applicant or Additional Applicant prior to the start of construction. Cost Quotes are derived
from Work Order Cost estimates.
Easement is the Company’s legal right to use the real property of another for the purpose of
installing or locating electric facilities.

RULE I
BUDGET PAY PLANS
1. Residential Budget Pay Plan - Schedules 1, 4, and 5, and 6. A Budget Pay Plan is
available to Residential Customers desiring to levelize payments for electric service. If a Customer has
more than one electric service on the account, each electric service charge will be levelized individually.
A Customer may sign up for the Budget Pay Plan at any time during the year. In order to be eligible for
the Budget Pay Plan, the Customer’s account must not be in arrears and the customer must have
received service at the same location for a minimum of nine months.
The levelized payment will approximate the average of 12 monthly billings based on either the
historical charges, or an estimate of future charges. The Budget Pay amount for each electric service
on the account will be adjusted to the next higher dollar. Budget Pay amounts will be recalculated at
the 12-month (or 365-day) anniversary of the first bill that was generated after the Customer enrolled in
the Budget Pay Plan. The new monthly payment will be the recalculated Budget Pay amount(s). A
Customer’s Budget Pay amount(s) may decrease, increase, or remain the same.
Customers with a negative balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation
will have monthly Budget Pay charges equal to the recalculated Budget Pay amount plus one-twelfth of
the negative balance. At the Customer’s request, a negative balance may be paid in full. Customers with
a positive balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation, or upon termination of the
agreement after all charges for services have been paid, will be refunded at the Customer’s request. If no
request for refund is made, the monthly Budget Pay charges will be equal to the recalculated Budget Pay
amount reduced by one-twelfth of the positive balance. Upon the Customer’s request, a positive balance
for one Budget Pay electric service may be transferred to the balance of another Budget Pay electric
service on the account.
Any estimates furnished by the Company with such Budget Pay Plan should not be construed as
a guarantee that the total actual charges will not exceed the estimates. The Company, because of rate
changes or other requirements, may at any time submit a revised estimate to the Customer and require
that the Customer pay the revised monthly Budget Pay installment as a condition to the continuation of
the Budget Pay Plan for the Customer.
The Budget Pay amount(s) will be billed on the regular service bill each month. Once
established, the Budget Pay Plan will remain in effect from year to year until the Customer notifies the
Company not less than 30 days prior to the desired date of cancellation or unless the Customer fails to
pay the agreed amounts.
2. Small General Service Budget Pay Plan - Schedules 7 and 8. A Budget Pay Plan is
available to Small General Service Customers receiving service on Schedules 7 and 8. If a Customer
has more than one electric service on the account, each electric service charge will be levelized
individually. If a Customer transfers to another schedule (other than Schedules 1, 4, or 5, or 6), the
Budget Pay Plan will not be available. A Customer may sign up for the Budget Pay Plan at any time
during the year.
In order to qualify, the Customer must have been receiving service at the same location, under the
same ownership and account number, and with all monthly billings paid on or before the past due date for
at least 12 months prior to applying for the Budget Pay Plan. The Customer must maintain the payment
status as described above or the Customer will be removed from the Budget Pay Plan on the next
monthly billing and all past due balances will become immediately due and payable.

5.3 Temporary Disconnection. Temporary disconnection shall continue only for so
long as reasonably necessary under “Good Utility Practice.” Good Utility Practice means any of
the practices, methods and acts engaged in or approved by a significant portion of the electric
industry during the relevant time period, or any of the practices, methods and acts which, in the
exercise of reasonable judgment in light of the facts known at the time the decision was made,
could have been expected to accomplish the desired result at a reasonable cost consistent with
good business practices, reliability, safety and expedition. Good Utility Practice is not intended
to be limited to the optimum practice, method, or act to the exclusion of all others, but rather to
be acceptable practices, methods, or acts generally accepted in the region. Good Utility
Practice includes compliance with WECC or NERC requirements. Payment of lost revenue
resulting from temporary disconnection shall be governed by the power purchase agreement.
5.3.1 Emergency Conditions. "Emergency Condition" means a condition or
situation: (1) that in the judgment of the Party making the claim is imminently likely to
endanger life or property; or (2) that, in the case of the Company, is imminently likely (as
determined in a non-discriminatory manner) to cause a material adverse effect on the
security of, or damage to the Company’s transmission/distribution system, the
Company’s Interconnection Facilities or the equipment of the Company’s customers; or
(3) that, in the case of the Seller, is imminently likely (as determined in a non-
discriminatory manner) to cause a material adverse effect on the reliability and security
of, or damage to, the Generation Facility or the Seller’s Interconnection Facilities. Under
Emergency Conditions, either the Company or the Seller may immediately suspend
interconnection service and temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility. The
Company shall notify the Seller promptly when it becomes aware of an Emergency
Condition that may reasonably be expected to affect the Seller’s operation of the
Generation Facility. The Seller shall notify the Company promptly when it becomes
aware of an Emergency Condition that may reasonably be expected to affect the
Company’s equipment or service to the Company’s customers. To the extent
information is known, the notification shall describe the Emergency Condition, the extent
of the damage or deficiency, the expected effect on the operation of both Parties'
facilities and operations, its anticipated duration, and the necessary corrective action.

5.3.2 Routine Maintenance, Construction, and Repair. The Company may
interrupt interconnection service or curtail the output of the Seller’s Generation Facility
and temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility from the Company’s
transmission/distribution system when necessary for routine maintenance, construction,
and repairs on the Company’s transmission/distribution system. The Company will
make a reasonable attempt to contact the Seller prior to exercising its rights to interrupt
interconnection or curtail deliveries from the Seller’s Facility. Seller understands that in
the case of emergency circumstances, real time operations of the electrical system,
and/or unplanned events, the Company may not be able to provide notice to the Seller
prior to interruption, curtailment or reduction of electrical energy deliveries to the
Company. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate such reduction or
temporary disconnection with the Seller.
5.3.3 Scheduled Maintenance. On or before January 31 of each calendar year,
Seller shall submit a written proposed maintenance schedule of significant Facility
maintenance for that calendar year and the Company and Seller shall mutually agree as
to the acceptability of the proposed schedule. The Parties determination as to the
acceptability of the Seller’s timetable for scheduled maintenance will take into
consideration Good Utility Practices, Idaho Power system requirements and the Seller’s
preferred schedule. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold acceptance of the
proposed maintenance schedule.
5.3.4. Maintenance Coordination. The Seller and the Company shall, to the
extent practical, coordinate their respective transmission/distribution system and
Generation Facility maintenance schedules such that they occur simultaneously. Seller
shall provide and maintain adequate protective equipment sufficient to prevent damage
to the Generation Facility and Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities. In some cases,
some of Seller’s protective relays will provide back-up protection for Idaho Power’s
facilities. In that event, Idaho Power will test such relays annually and Seller will pay the
actual cost of such annual testing.

5.3.5 Forced Outages. During any forced outage, the Company may suspend
interconnection service to effect immediate repairs on the Company’s
transmission/distribution system. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide
the Seller with prior notice. If prior notice is not given, the Company shall, upon request,
provide the Seller written documentation after the fact explaining the circumstances of
the disconnection.
5.3.6 Adverse Operating Effects. The Company shall notify the Seller as soon
as practicable if, based on Good Utility Practice, operation of the Seller’s Generation
Facility may cause disruption or deterioration of service to other customers served from
the same electric system, or if operating the Generation Facility could cause damage to
the Company’s transmission/distribution system or other affected systems. Supporting
documentation used to reach the decision to disconnect shall be provided to the Seller
upon request. If, after notice, the Seller fails to remedy the adverse operating effect
within a reasonable time, the Company may disconnect the Generation Facility. The
Company shall provide the Seller with reasonable notice of such disconnection, unless
the provisions of Article 5.3.1 apply.
5.3.7 Modification of the Generation Facility. The Seller must receive written
authorization from the Company before making any change to the Generation Facility
that may have a material impact on the safety or reliability of the Company’s
transmission/distribution system. Such authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Modifications shall be done in accordance with Good Utility Practice. If the Seller makes
such modification without the Company’s prior written authorization, the latter shall have
the right to temporarily disconnect the Generation Facility.
5.3.8 Reconnection. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to restore the
Generation Facility, Interconnection Facilities, and the Company’s
transmission/distribution system to their normal operating state as soon as reasonably
practicable following a temporary disconnection.

5.3.9 Voltage Levels. Seller, in accordance with Good Utility Practices, shall
minimize voltage fluctuations and maintain voltage levels acceptable to Idaho Power.
Idaho Power may, in accordance with Good Utility Practices, upon one hundred eighty
(180) days' notice to the Seller, change its nominal operating voltage level by more than
ten percent (10%) at the Point of Delivery, in which case Seller shall modify, at Idaho
Power's expense, Seller's equipment as necessary to accommodate the modified
nominal operating voltage level.
5.4 Land Rights.
5.4.1 Seller to Provide Access. Seller hereby grants to Idaho Power for the
term of this Agreement all necessary rights-of-way and easements to install, operate,
maintain, replace, and remove Idaho Power's Metering Equipment, Interconnection
Equipment, Disconnection Equipment, Protection Equipment and other Special Facilities
necessary or useful to this Agreement, including adequate and continuing access rights
on property of Seller. Seller warrants that it has procured sufficient easements and
rights-of-way from third parties so as to provide Idaho Power with the access described
above. All documents granting such easements or rights-of-way shall be subject to
Idaho Power's approval and in recordable form.
5.4.2 Use of Public Rights-of-Way. The Parties agree that it is necessary to
avoid the adverse environmental and operating impacts that would occur as a result of
duplicate electric lines being constructed in close proximity. Therefore, subject to Idaho
Power's compliance with Paragraph 5.4.4, Seller agrees that should Seller seek and
receive from any local, state or federal governmental body the right to erect, construct
and maintain Seller-furnished Interconnection Facilities upon, along and over any and all
public roads, streets and highways, then the use by Seller of such public right-of-way
shall be subordinate to any future use by Idaho Power of such public right-of-way for
construction and/or maintenance of electric distribution and transmission facilities and
Idaho Power may claim use of such public right-of-way for such purposes at any time.
Except as required by Paragraph 5.4.4, Idaho Power shall not be required to
compensate Seller for exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.2.

5.4.3 Joint Use of Facilities. Subject to Idaho Power's compliance with
Paragraph 15.4.4, Idaho Power may use and attach its distribution and/or transmission
facilities to Seller's Interconnection Facilities, may reconstruct Seller's Interconnection
Facilities to accommodate Idaho Power's usage or Idaho Power may construct its own
distribution or transmission facilities along, over and above any public right-of-way
acquired from Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5.4.2, attaching Seller's Interconnection
Facilities to such newly constructed facilities. Except as required by Paragraph 5.4.4,
Idaho Power shall not be required to compensate Seller for exercising its rights under
this Paragraph 5.4.3.
5.4.4 Conditions of Use. It is the intention of the Parties that the Seller be left in
substantially the same condition, both financially and electrically, as Seller existed prior
to Idaho Power's exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4. Therefore, the Parties
agree that the exercise by Idaho Power of any of the rights enumerated in Paragraphs
5.4.2 and 5.4.3 shall: (1) comply with all applicable laws, codes and Good Utility
Practices, (2) equitably share the costs of installing, owning and operating jointly used
facilities and rights-of-way. If the Parties are unable to agree on the method of
apportioning these costs, the dispute will be submitted to the Commission for resolution
and the decision of the Commission will be binding on the Parties, and (3) shall provide
Seller with an interconnection to Idaho Power's system of equal capacity and durability
as existed prior to Idaho Power exercising its rights under this Paragraph 5.4.
6. Assignment, Liability, Indemnity, Force majeure, Consequential Damages and Default.
6.1 Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by either Party upon twenty-one
(21) calendar days prior written notice and opportunity to object by the other Party; provided
that:
6.1.1 Either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other
Party to any affiliate of the assigning Party with an equal or greater credit rating and with
the legal authority and operational ability to satisfy the obligations of the assigning Party
under this Agreement.

6.1.2 The Seller shall have the right to contingently assign this Agreement,
without the consent of the Company, for collateral security purposes to aid in providing
financing for the Generation Facility, provided that the Seller will promptly notify the
Company of any such contingent assignment.
6.1.3 Any attempted assignment that violates this article is void and ineffective.
Assignment shall not relieve a Party of its obligations, nor shall a Party's obligations be
enlarged, in whole or in part, by reason thereof. An assignee is responsible for meeting
the same financial, credit, and insurance obligations as the Seller. Where required,
consent to assignment will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
6.2 Limitation of Liability. Each Party's liability to the other Party for any loss, cost,
claim, injury, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, relating to or arising from
any act or omission in its performance of this Agreement, shall be limited to the amount of direct
damage actually incurred. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for any
indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages, except as authorized by this Agreement.
6.3 Indemnity.
6.3.1 This provision protects each Party from liability incurred to third parties as
a result of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement. Liability under this provision is
exempt from the general limitations on liability found in Article 6.2.
6.3.2 The Parties shall at all times indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party
harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, including claims and actions
relating to injury to or death of any person or damage to property, demand, 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 other Party's action or failure to
meet its obligations under this Agreement on behalf of the indemnifying Party, except in
cases of gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing by the indemnified Party.

6.3.3 If an indemnified person is entitled to indemnification under this article as
a result of a claim by a third party, and the indemnifying Party fails, after notice and
reasonable opportunity to proceed under this article, to assume the defense of such
claim, such indemnified person may at the expense of the indemnifying Party contest,
settle or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or pay in full, such claim.
Failure to defend is a Material Breach.
6.3.4 If an indemnifying party is obligated to indemnify and hold any
indemnified person harmless under this article, the amount owing to the indemnified
person shall be the amount of such indemnified person's actual loss, net of any
insurance or other recovery.
6.3.5 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified person of any claim or notice of
the commencement of any action or administrative or legal proceeding or investigation
as to which the indemnity provided for in this article may apply, the indemnified person
shall notify the indemnifying party of such fact. Any failure of or delay in such notification
shall be a Material Breach and shall not affect a Party's indemnification obligation unless
such failure or delay is materially prejudicial to the indemnifying party.
6.4 Force Majeure. As used in this Agreement, “Force Majeure” or “an event of
Force Majeure” means any cause beyond the control of the Seller or of the Company which,
despite the exercise of due diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or overcome. Force
Majeure includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, storms, wars, hostilities, civil
strife, strikes and other labor disturbances, earthquakes, fires, lightning, epidemics, sabotage, or
changes in law or regulation occurring after the Operation Date, which, by the exercise of
reasonable foresight such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by the
exercise of due diligence, it shall be unable to overcome. If either Party is rendered wholly or in
part unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement because of an event of Force
Majeure, both Parties shall be excused from whatever performance is affected by the event of
Force Majeure, provided that:
(1) The non-performing Party shall, as soon as is reasonably possible after
the occurrence of the Force Majeure, give the other Party written notice describing the
particulars of the occurrence.

6.5 Default and Material Breaches.
6.5.1 Defaults. If either Party fails to perform any of the terms or conditions of
this Agreement (a “Default” or an “Event of Default”), the nondefaulting Party shall cause
notice in writing to be given to the defaulting Party, specifying the manner in which such
default occurred. If the defaulting Party shall fail to cure such Default within the sixty
(60) days after service of such notice, or if the defaulting Party reasonably demonstrates
to the other Party that the Default can be cured within a commercially reasonable time
but not within such sixty (60) day period and then fails to diligently pursue such cure,
then, the nondefaulting Party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and/or pursue
its legal or equitable remedies.
6.5.2 Material Breaches. The notice and cure provisions in Paragraph 6.6.1 do
not apply to Defaults identified in this Agreement as Material Breaches. Material
Breaches must be cured as expeditiously as possible following occurrence of the
breach.
7. Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall secure and continuously carry
the following insurance coverage:
7.1 Comprehensive General Liability Insurance for both bodily injury and property
damage with limits equal to $1,000,000, each occurrence, combined single limit. The deductible
for such insurance shall be consistent with current Insurance Industry Utility practices for similar
property.

warehouse, if the Interconnection Facilities will be removed. If Seller elects not to obtain
ownership of the Interconnection Facilities but instead wishes that Idaho Power reimburse the
Seller for said Facilities the Seller may invoice Idaho Power for the net salvage value as
estimated by Idaho Power and Idaho Power shall pay such amount to Seller within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the invoice. Seller shall have the right to offset the invoice amount against
any present or future payments due Idaho Power.
