PAC-E-20-07 ) ) APPLICATION OF ) ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER ) Comes now, Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp, (“Company”), and hereby respectfully requests, pursuant to RP 52 and the applicable provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (“PURPA”), that the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, (“Commission”), issue an order approving or rejecting the Power Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) between PacifiCorp and the Birch Hydro Company, (“Seller”) dated May 19, 2020. In support of this Application, Rocky Mountain Power states as follows: I. INTRODUCTION 1. Rocky Mountain Power provides electric service to retail customers in the states of Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Rocky Mountain Power is a public utility in the state of Idaho and is subject to the Commission's jurisdiction with respect to its prices and terms of electric service to retail customers pursuant to Idaho Code 61-129. Rocky Mountain Power provides retail electric service to approximately 84,000 customers in the state of Idaho. 2. Seller owns, operates, and maintains a small hydro-electric power plant located in Clark County, Idaho with a nameplate capacity rating of 2.65 megawatts (the “Facility”). Seller Page 2 operates the Facility as a Qualifying Facility (“QF”) under the applicable provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (“PURPA”). 3. Sections 201 and 210 of PURPA, and pertinent regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) require that regulated electric utilities purchase electricity produced by co-generators or small power producers that obtain QF status. The rate a QF receives for the sale of its electricity is generally referred to as the “avoided cost” and must reflect the incremental cost to an electric utility of electric energy or capacity or both, which, but for the purchase from the QF, such utility would generate itself or purchase from another source. The Commission has authority under PURPA, Sections 201 and 210 and FERC regulations, 18 C.F.R.S 292, to set avoided costs, order electric utilities to enter into fixed-term obligations for the purchase of electricity from QFs, and implement FERC rules. 4. On December 18, 2012, the Commission issued Order No. 32697, which established parameters for published and negotiated avoided cost rate calculations. The Commission further established and defined numerous contract terms and conditions for standard purchase power agreements (“PPA”) entered into between regulated utilities and QFs. On January 2, 2013, the Commission issued Errata to Order No. 32697, which corrected published avoided cost rates to include energy payments not discounted by transmission and line loss. Subsequently the Commission issued reconsideration Orders Nos. 32737 and 32802 on February 5, 2013 and May 5, 2013, respectively, which further clarified certain terms and conditions of PPAs. The ESA contains published rates for projects of 10 average megawatts (“aMW”) or less pursuant to Commission Order No. 34350. The Facility is an existing QF that is seeking a replacement agreement. The replacement ESA contains capacity payments for the entire term of the Agreement, with no sufficiency period. See Order No. 32697 at 21-22, Order No. 32737 at 5, and Order No. Page 3 32871. Pursuant to the Commission's direction in its Reconsideration Order No. 32737, the rates were calculated by Commission Staff for a QF in the “non-seasonal hydro” category based on the surrogate avoided resource (“SAR”) avoided cost methodology. II. THE POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT 5. The Seller’s current PURPA contract was executed on August 21, 1984, after it was approved by the Commission in December 1981. That contract was amended on January 20, 1992, to resolve the Parties’ dispute over calculation of the variable energy rate, as evidenced in Restated Appendix B. PacifiCorp and Seller agreed, by letter dated March 30, 2006, that the current PURPA contract would expire, at midnight, on March 31, 2022. The total nameplate capacity of the facility is 2.65 MW. 6. The Seller has demonstrated to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that: (1) the feasibility that facility net energy will equal the energy delivery schedules for the full term of this Agreement; and (2) the likelihood that the facility, under average design conditions, will generate at no more than 2.5 aMW in any calendar month. The facilities estimated net output is approximately 12,600,000 megawatt-hours per year. 7. The PPA submitted herewith, as Attachment 1, complies with the Commission's orders. 8. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Seller elected to contract with the Company for a twenty-year term, starting from the approval of the Agreement by the Commission. Except as otherwise indicated, the Company will pay the Seller the price set forth in Exhibit K to the Agreement. 9. Paragraph 2.1 of the Agreement provides that it will not become effective until the Commission has approved it and determined that the prices paid for energy and capacity are just Page 4 and reasonable, in the public interest, and that costs incurred by the Company for purchasing energy and capacity are legitimate expenses, all of which the Commission will allow the Company to recover in Idaho rates in the event other jurisdictions deny recovery of their proportionate share of said expenses.

(c) A Party breaches a representation or warranty in this Agreement if the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-defaulting Party gives the defaulting Party a notice of the default; provided, however, that if such default is not reasonably capable of being cured within the thirty (30) day cure period but is reasonably capable of being cured within 28 ninety (90) days, the defaulting Party will have an additional reasonable time to cure the default, not to exceed ninety (90) days following the date of notice of the default by the non-defaulting Party, if the defaulting Party provides to the non-defaulting Party a remediation plan within fifteen (15) days following the date of notice of the default by the non-defaulting Party, the non- defaulting Party approves such remediation plan, and the defaulting Party promptly commences and diligently pursues the remediation plan. (d) A Party fails to perform any material obligation in this Agreement for which an exclusive remedy is not provided in the Agreement and which is not otherwise an identified Event of Default in this Agreement, if the failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-defaulting Party gives the defaulting Party notice of the default; provided, however, that if such default is not reasonably capable of being cured within the thirty (30) day cure period but is reasonably capable of being cured within ninety (90) days, the defaulting Party will have an additional reasonable time to cure the default, not to exceed ninety (90) days following the date of notice of the default by the non-defaulting Party, if the defaulting Party provides to the non-defaulting Party a remediation plan within fifteen (15) days following the date of notice of the default by the non-defaulting Party, the non-defaulting Party approves such remediation plan, and the defaulting Party promptly commences and diligently pursues the remediation plan. 11.1.2 Defaults by Seller. (a) Seller sells Output or Capacity Rights from the Facility to a party other than PacifiCorp in breach of Section 4.3, if Seller does not permanently cease such sale and compensate PacifiCorp for the damages arising from the breach within ten (10) days after PacifiCorp gives Seller a notice of default. (b) PacifiCorp receives notice of foreclosure of the Facility or any part thereof by a Lender, mechanic or materialman, or any other holder, of an unpaid lien or other charge or encumbrance, if the same has not been stayed, paid, or bonded around within ten (10) days of the date of the notice received by PacifiCorp.

Upon the occurrence and during 29 the continuation of a default of Seller under Section 11.1.2(a), Seller must pay PacifiCorp within five (5) Business Days after receipt of invoice, an amount equal to the sum of (a) PacifiCorp’s Cost to Cover multiplied by the Net Output delivered to a party other than PacifiCorp, (b) additional transmission charges, if any, reasonably incurred by PacifiCorp in moving replacement energy to the Point of Delivery or if not there, to such points in PacifiCorp’s control area as determined by PacifiCorp, and (c) any additional cost or expense incurred as a result of Seller’s default, as determined by PacifiCorp in a commercially reasonable manner. The invoice for such amount must include a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount. 11.2.2 Remedy for PacifiCorp’s Failure to Purchase. If PacifiCorp fails to receive or purchase all or part of the Net Output required to be purchased under this Agreement and such failure is not excused by Seller’s failure to perform under or comply with this Agreement, then PacifiCorp must pay Seller, on the earlier of the date payment would otherwise be due in respect of the month in which the failure occurred or within five (5) Business Days after receipt of invoice, an amount equal to Seller’s Cost to Cover multiplied by the amount of Net Output not purchased. The invoice for such amount must include a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount. 11.2.3 Remedy for Seller’s Failure to Provide Capacity Rights. Seller is liable for PacifiCorp’s actual damages in the event Seller fails to sell or deliver all or any portion of the Capacity Rights to PacifiCorp. 11.3 Termination and Remedies. From and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the non-defaulting Party will be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity, and may terminate this Agreement by notice to the other Party designating the date of termination and delivered to the defaulting Party no less than fifteen (15) days before such termination date. The notice required under this Section 11.3 may be provided in the notice of default (and does not have to be a separate notice) provided it complies with the terms of this Section 11.3. Seller must provide copies of such termination notice to the notice addresses of the then-current President and General Counsel of PacifiCorp by registered overnight delivery service or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Seller’s termination notice must state prominently in type font no smaller than 14-point capital letters that “THIS IS A TERMINATION NOTICE UNDER A PPA. YOU MUST CURE A DEFAULT, OR THE PPA WILL BE TERMINATED,” must state any amount alleged to be owed, and must include wiring instructions for payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller will not have any right to terminate this Agreement if the default that gave rise to the termination right is cured within fifteen (15) days of PacifiCorp’s receipt of such notice. Further, from and after the date upon which Seller fails to remedy a default within the time periods provided in this Agreement, and until PacifiCorp has recovered all damages incurred on account of such default by Seller, PacifiCorp may offset its damages against any payment due Seller. Except in circumstances in which a remedy provided for in this Agreement is described as a Party’s sole or exclusive remedy, the non-defaulting Party may pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies provided by law, equity or this Agreement. The rights contemplated by this Section 11 are cumulative such that the exercise of one or more rights does not constitute a waiver of any other rights. In the event of a termination of this Agreement: 30 (a) Each Party must pay to the other all amounts due the other under this Agreement for all periods prior to termination, subject to offset by the non-defaulting Party against damages incurred by such Party. (b) The amounts due under this Section 11.3 must be paid within thirty (30) days after the billing date for such charges and will bear interest at the Contract Interest Rate from the date of termination until the date paid. The foregoing does not extend the due date of, or provide an interest holiday for any payments otherwise due under this Agreement. (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 4.6, 5.4, 5.5, 6.12.3, 6.12.4, 6.13, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 12, 13, 16, 17, 21, and 24 survive the termination of this Agreement. 31 11.4 Termination of Duty to Buy. If this Agreement is terminated because of a default by Seller, neither Seller nor any Affiliate or successor to Seller with respect to the ownership of the Facility or Premises, may thereafter require or seek to require PacifiCorp to make any purchases from the Facility or any electric generation facility constructed on the Premises under PURPA, or any other Requirements of Law, for any periods that would have been within the Term had this Agreement remained in effect for its maximum term. Seller agrees that it will not seek to avoid the restrictions in this Section 11.4 through use or establishment of a special purpose entity or other Affiliate. 11.5 Termination Damages. If this Agreement is terminated by PacifiCorp as a result of an Event of Default by Seller, termination damages owed by Seller to PacifiCorp will be the positive difference, if any, between (a) PacifiCorp’s estimated costs to secure replacement power for a period of twenty four (24) months following the date of termination, including any associated transmission necessary to deliver such replacement power; and (b) the Contract Price for such twenty four (24) month period (“Termination Damages”). PacifiCorp must calculate the Termination Damages in a commercially reasonable manner and provide to Seller a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of Termination Damages. Amounts owed pursuant to this Section 11.5 are due by Seller within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written statement of Termination Damages from PacifiCorp. Each Party agrees and acknowledges that the damages that PacifiCorp would incur due to Seller’s Event of Default would be difficult or impossible to predict with certainty, it is impractical and difficult to assess actual damages in the circumstances stated, and therefore the Termination Damages as agreed to in this Section 11.5 are a fair and reasonable calculation of such damages 11.6 Duty/Right to Mitigate. Each Party agrees that it has a duty to mitigate damages and covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any damages it may incur as a result of the other Party’s performance or non-performance. With respect to Seller, Seller must use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the price for Net Output received by Seller from third parties, including entering into an enabling agreement with, or being affiliated with, one or more power marketers of nationally recognized standing to market such Net Output not purchased or accepted by PacifiCorp (only during a period PacifiCorp is in default), to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law and the Generation Interconnection Agreement. With respect to PacifiCorp, PacifiCorp must use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the price paid to third parties for energy purchased to replace Net Output not delivered by Seller as required under this Agreement. 11.7 Security. If this Agreement is terminated because of Seller’s default, PacifiCorp may, in addition to pursuing any and all other remedies available at law or in equity, proceed against any security held by PacifiCorp in whatever form to reduce the amounts that Seller owes PacifiCorp arising from such default. 11.8 Cumulative Remedies. Except in circumstances in which a remedy provided for in this Agreement is described as a sole or exclusive remedy, the rights and remedies provided to PacifiCorp in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies of PacifiCorp. SECTION 12 32 INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY 12.1 Indemnities. 12.1.1 Indemnity by Seller. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law and subject to Section 12.1.5, Seller releases, indemnifies and holds harmless PacifiCorp, its divisions, Affiliates, and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “PacifiCorp Indemnitees”) against and from any and all losses, fines, penalties, claims, demands, damages, liabilities, actions or suits of any nature whatsoever (including legal costs and attorneys’ fees, both at trial and on appeal, whether or not suit is brought) (collectively, “Liabilities”) actually or allegedly resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with, the performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, or relating to the Facility or Premises, for or on account of injury, bodily or otherwise, to, or death of, or damage to, or destruction or economic loss of property of, any person or entity, except for Liabilities caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any person or entity within the PacifiCorp Indemnitees. Seller is solely responsible for (and will defend and hold PacifiCorp harmless against) any damage that may occur as a direct result of Seller’s breach of the Generation Interconnection Agreement. 12.1.2 Indemnity by PacifiCorp.

Without limiting Sections 12.1.1 and 12.1.2, Seller releases, indemnifies and holds harmless the PacifiCorp Indemnitees from and against all Liabilities related to Net Output prior to its delivery by Seller at the Point of Delivery, and PacifiCorp releases, indemnifies and holds harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against all Liabilities related to Net Output once delivered to PacifiCorp at the Point of Delivery as provided in this Agreement, except in each case to the extent such Liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a breach of this Agreement by any member of the PacifiCorp Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, seeking indemnification under this Agreement. 12.1.4 No Dedication. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create any duty to, any standard of care with reference to, or any liability to any person not a Party. No undertaking by one Party to the other under any provision of this Agreement will constitute the dedication of PacifiCorp’s facilities or any portion thereof to Seller or to the public, nor affect the status of PacifiCorp as an independent public utility corporation or Seller as an independent individual or entity. 12.1.5 Consequential Damages. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO 33 THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE ALLOWED OR PROVIDED BY CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, DELAY DAMAGES, TERMINATION DAMAGES, PACIFICORP AND SELLER COST TO COVER DAMAGES, OR OTHER SPECIFIED MEASURE OF DAMAGES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT DO NOT REPRESENT SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS CONTEMPLATED IN THIS PARAGRAPH. SECTION 13 34 INSURANCE 13.1 Required Policies and Coverages. Without limiting any Liabilities or any other obligations of Seller, Seller must secure and continuously carry the insurance coverage specified on Exhibit I. SECTION 14 FORCE MAJEURE 14.1 Definition of Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” or “an event of Force Majeure” means an event that prevents a Party from performing an obligation under this Agreement and that (a) is not reasonably anticipated as of the Effective Date, (b) is not within the reasonable control of the Party affected by the event, (c) is not the result of such Party’s negligence or failure to act, and (d) could not be overcome by the affected Party’s use of due diligence in the circumstances.

In exchange for the services performed by PacifiCorp hereunder, Counterparty shall pay PacifiCorp as follows: Counterparty shall pay PacifiCorp a one-time initial setup fee of $280, which PacifiCorp may at its option deduct from payments due to Counterparty under the PPA and otherwise shall be payable within ten days of demand by invoice following execution of this Agreement. PacifiCorp shall charge Counterparty a monthly reporting fee of $50 per generating unit for which PacifiCorp reports output to WREGIS, provided that PacifiCorp may, in its discretion, assess and bill for all fees due hereunder on an annual, rather than monthly, basis. PacifiCorp may at its option deduct from payments due to Counterparty under the PPA all other fees due hereunder, which shall otherwise be due within ten days of PacifiCorp’s issuance of an invoice for such fees. PacifiCorp will review costs associated with this service on an annual basis, and may make necessary adjustments to the monthly reporting fee charged herein. Any change in the monthly reporting fee will become effective only after a minimum thirty (30) days prior written notice to Counterparty. In the event WREGIS, WECC, or any other entity with the ability or jurisdiction to modify the QRE reporting process requires a change that materially increases the costs to PacifiCorp of providing QRE services, PacifiCorp may pass those costs to the Counterparty by increasing the monthly reporting fee. PacifiCorp will use best efforts to provide Counterparty with prior notice before billing Counterparty for such increased costs. The fees set forth herein relate to PacifiCorp serving as a QRE for Counterparty pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The necessary metering is a prerequisite for this service and is not covered in the fees described above. 3.3 Points of Metering. The Points of Metering that PacifiCorp will use are set forth in Exhibit A. Counterparty certifies that all Points of Metering listed in Exhibit A measure data only from Facility that meet the definition of Renewable. Counterparty shall notify PacifiCorp at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to making any proposed material changes to the Points of Metering. Following such notification, the Parties will decide whether such changes are mutually acceptable. If such changes are not acceptable to PacifiCorp, PacifiCorp may terminate this Agreement. 3.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in the Interconnection Agreement (and in such case, only vis-à-vis Interconnection Provider), Counterparty shall bear all costs and expenses, including those incurred by PacifiCorp, relating to all metering or other equipment installed to accommodate Counterparty’s Facility. 3.5 Reporting. Counterparty hereby grants to PacifiCorp sole and exclusive permission and authority to report Data and Output to WREGIS and warrants and represents that neither Counterparty nor any other person or entity acting on behalf of Counterparty has granted, or will hereafter grant during the term hereof any similar data reporting authority or permission to any other QRE or WREGIS Account Holder or to any other party or Agent for use in WREGIS, or any other energy tracking system, for the Facility. As a precondition for PacifiCorp to be able to perform hereunder, Counterparty shall submit Counterparty’s Output data to PacifiCorp by allowing PacifiCorp to collect such data, at the Points of Metering, and report such data in the manner set forth herein. 3.5.1 Monthly Generation Extract File.

PacifiCorp shall timely report to WREGIS Counterparty Data and/or Output information as specified in the most current WREGIS Interface Control Document (ICD). PacifiCorp shall not use or disclose Counterparty generation Data for any other purpose than reporting the Data to WREGIS, except as may be required by law, the Public Utility Commission of Oregon, any other state, federal, municipal or other regulator or governmental authority with jurisdiction over PacifiCorp or any of its assets, or a court of competent jurisdiction or as required under the terms of an existing agreement between the Parties. PacifiCorp shall not use Generator Owner generation Data for any other purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PacifiCorp shall not be responsible for handling, account administration, transfer, evidence of, or any determination of Counterparty Certificate ownership or any other obligations for Certificates of Counterparty with regard to Certificates; and Counterparty shall bear all responsibility for such handling, account administration, evidence of, or any determination of Counterparty Certificate ownership and all other obligations pertaining to creation and ownership of such Certificates. 3.10 Measurement. 3.10.1 Meter Data. Counterparty authorizes PacifiCorp’s metering services organization to provide Counterparty’s meter data directly to WREGIS in the form of the Monthly Generation Extract File. Counterparty authorizes PacifiCorp to gather data from the Points of Metering listed in Exhibit A. All such data is considered data which Counterparty has created and submitted to PacifiCorp, notwithstanding that PacifiCorp, rather than Counterparty will gather it. 3.10.2 Wholesale Generation Also Serving On-Site Loads. If Counterparty has any Wholesale Generation Also Serving On-Site Loads (as defined in Article One above), such Facility will need to have the on-site load generation metered (and registered) separately from the generation that is supplied to the grid, in accordance with the WREGIS Operating Rules. Otherwise, PacifiCorp will not report any data from such Facility. If such Facility exist, they must be specified in Exhibit A. 3.10.3 Estimates. When meter readings are not available due to meter hardware failure or data that is determined to be invalid due to meter malfunction or calibration or configuration error, to the extent deemed by PacifiCorp to be appropriate and permitted pursuant to WREGIS TOU, PacifiCorp will, if possible, rely on readings from redundant meters whether such meters are PacifiCorp owned or not. If readings from redundant meters are not possible, PacifiCorp will estimate and report meter data according to PacifiCorp’s Settlement Estimation Procedures. 3.10.4 Responsibility. Counterparty is solely responsible for the data created and submitted to PacifiCorp, acting as a QRE, to forward to WREGIS. 3.11 Regulatory Requirements. PacifiCorp may release information provided by Counterparty hereunder, or gathered by PacifiCorp in connection herewith, to comply with any regulatory requirements applicable to PacifiCorp or if requested by a PacifiCorp regulator or if required by any other federal law or court order. Counterparty waives all applicable provisions of the Tariff which require PacifiCorp to hold confidential information with respect to the Generator Owner and the Facility, to the extent necessary for PacifiCorp to report, as a QRE, generation Data and Output regarding the Generation Unit(s) and to carry out PacifiCorp’s obligations under this Agreement. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 3.12 Grant by Counterparty. Counterparty hereby grants to, permits, and authorizes PacifiCorp the following: 3.12.1 PacifiCorp is hereby authorized to communicate and transact with WREGIS as Counterparty’s sole and exclusive reporting source of generation data for the Facility, and WREGIS is hereby authorized to communicate and transact directly with PacifiCorp regarding any generation data issues for the Facility. PacifiCorp is hereby authorized to act on behalf of Counterparty, but only to the extent that PacifiCorp has lawful, contractual access to WREGIS. 3.12.2 PacifiCorp is hereby authorized to provide WREGIS with all generation data for the Facility that WREGIS requires, including, but not limited to, data required for preparation of required reports and billing. 3.12.3 PacifiCorp is authorized to undertake all actions which are reasonable and necessary to carry out the obligations set forth in the subsections above. 3.12.4 Counterparty retains all other rights and responsibilities and all other obligations to WREGIS.

Counterparty shall have no claims hereunder against PacifiCorp, acting in its merchant function capacity, with respect to any requirements imposed by or damages caused by (or allegedly caused by) acts or omissions of the Transmission Provider or Interconnection Provider, in connection with the Generation Interconnection Agreement or otherwise. Counterparty shall defend, indemnify and hold PacifiCorp harmless against any liability arising due to Counterparty’s performance or failure to perform under the Generation Interconnection Agreement. Counterparty’s failure to obtain, or perform under, the Generation Interconnection Agreement, or its other contracts and obligations to, Transmission Provider or Interconnection Provider is not a Force Majeure. 4.11 This Article IV shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether such termination is by PacifiCorp or Counterparty, and whether or not such termination is on account of a default. V. Further Counterparty Obligations. 5.1 No Sale. Nothing herein constitutes a sale or purchase of energy or renewable energy certificates to or by PacifiCorp. 5.2 Tax Benefits.

Counterparty shall be responsible for the coordination and synchronization of the Facility and the Interconnection Facilities with the System, and shall be solely responsible for (and shall defend and hold PacifiCorp harmless against) any damage that may occur as a direct result of Counterparty’s breach of the Generation Interconnection Agreement. 5.7 Data Request. Counterparty shall, promptly upon written request from PacifiCorp, provide PacifiCorp with data reasonably required for information requests from any Governmental Authorities, state or federal agency intervener or any other party achieving intervenor status in any PacifiCorp rate proceeding or other proceeding before any governmental authority. Counterparty shall use best efforts to provide this information to PacifiCorp sufficiently in advance to enable PacifiCorp to review it and meet any submission deadlines. 5.8 Additional Information. Counterparty shall provide to PacifiCorp such other information respecting Counterparty or the Facility as PacifiCorp may, from time to time, reasonably request. 5.9 No Dedication. Nothing herein shall be construed to create any duty to, any standard of care with reference to, or any liability to any person not a Party hereto. No undertaking by one Party to the other under any provision hereof shall constitute the dedication of PacifiCorp's facilities or any portion thereof to Counterparty or to the public, nor affect the status of PacifiCorp as an independent public utility corporation or Counterparty as an independent individual or entity. 5.10 Required Policies and Coverages.

"Event of Default" means, with respect to a Party (the "Defaulting Party"): 8.1.1 the failure to render when due any payment or performance hereunder, if such failure is not remedied within five days after written notice; 8.1.2 the failure to timely provide adequate assurances required pursuant to Article VII hereof; 8.1.3 any such Party's representation or warranty proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made; 8.1.4 the failure to perform any other covenant set forth herein if such failure is not remedied within five days after written notice; 8.1.5 its bankruptcy, if adequate assurances acceptable to PacifiCorp and approved by the Bankruptcy Court are not provided; 8.1.6 the expiration or termination of any credit support of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder (other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of Counterparty without the written consent of PacifiCorp; or 8.1.7 In the case of Counterparty: 8.1.7.1 Counterparty fails to report generation Data or Output information to PacifiCorp for the Facility or Counterparty fails to send the data in a format and use the protocols specified by PacifiCorp as determined by PacifiCorp to be required to meet the requirements of the WREGIS Operating Rules; 8.1.7.2 Counterparty is delinquent in payment to WREGIS of any WREGIS fees for registration or maintenance of Accounts or Subaccounts, which payment impairs the ability of PacifiCorp to report Generator Data, Output, or other information to WREGIS regarding the Facility, which delinquency continues for a period of thirty (30) days; 8.1.7.3 Counterparty fails to comply with a request by PacifiCorp to provide evidence of payment of WREGIS fees pertaining to the Facility; or 8.1.7.4 Counterparty knowingly or intentionally falsifies or misrepresents any Data, Output information, or other information required by WREGIS. 8.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. In the Event of Default by a Party and for so long as the Event of Default is continuing, the non-defaulting Party (the "Performing Party") shall have the right to do any or all of the following: (1) upon two business days’ written notice to the Defaulting Party, terminate this Agreement; (2) withhold any payments or performance due in respect of this Agreement; and (3) exercise such other remedies as may be available at law or in equity or as otherwise provided for herein, to the extent such remedies have not been otherwise waived or limited pursuant to the terms hereof. 8.3 Setoff. If an Event of Default occurs, the Performing Party may, at its election, set off any or all amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it or any Affiliate of the Performing Party (whether under this Agreement or otherwise and whether or not then due) against any or all amounts which it or any Affiliate of the Performing Party owes to the Defaulting Party (whether under this Agreement or otherwise and whether or not then due). 8.4 Payment of Damages. Any amounts due on account of default shall be paid by the close of business on the next business day following the Defaulting Party’s receipt of the Performing Party’s written termination notice setting forth the termination payment due. 8.5 Limitation of Liability. THE EXPRESS REMEDIES AND MEASURES OF DAMAGES PROVIDED HEREIN SATISFY THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSES HEREOF. FOR BREACH OF ANY PROVISION FOR WHICH AN EXPRESS REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGE IS PROVIDED, SUCH REMEDY OR MEASURE SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY THEREFOR. LIABILITY THAT HAS NOT BEEN OTHERWISE EXCLUDED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN, NO PARTY SHALL BE REQUIRED TO PAY OR BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFIT OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, BY STATUTE, IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. 8.6 Survival. This Article survives the expiration or termination hereof. IX. Force Majeure. 9.1 Except with regard to a Party’s obligation to make payments hereunder, in the event either Party hereto is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations with respect hereto, then upon such Party’s (the "Claiming Party") giving notice and full particulars of such Force Majeure as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the cause relied upon, such notice to be confirmed in writing or by facsimile to the other Party, then the obligations of the Claiming Party shall, to the extent they are affected by such Force Majeure, be suspended during the continuance of said inability, but for no longer period, and the Claiming Party shall not be liable to the other Party for, or on account of, any loss, damage, injury or expense resulting from, or arising out of such event of Force Majeure. The Party receiving such notice of Force Majeure shall have until the end of the Business Day following such receipt to notify the Claiming Party that it objects to or disputes the existence of an event of Force Majeure. "Force Majeure" means an event or circumstance which prevents one Party from performing its obligations hereunder, which event or circumstance was not anticipated, which is not within the reasonable control of, or the result of the negligence of, the Claiming Party, and which, by the exercise of due diligence, the Claiming Party is unable to overcome or avoid or cause to be avoided. Counterparty’s failure to obtain, or perform under, the Generation Interconnection Agreement, or its other contracts and obligations to, Transmission Provider or Interconnection Provider is not a Force Majeure. 9.2 Force Majeure Does Not Affect Other Obligations. No obligations of either Party that arose before the Force Majeure causing the suspension of performance or that arise after the cessation of the Force Majeure shall be excused by the Force Majeure. 9.3 Strikes. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither Party shall be required to settle any strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms which, in the sole judgment of the Party involved in the dispute, are contrary to the Party’s best interests. X. Miscellaneous. 10.1 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Oregon, excluding any choice of law rules that may direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 10.2 Restriction on Assignments.

All notices, requests, statements or payments shall be made to the addresses set out on the Notices Exhibit.

This Agreement may not be amended, changed, modified, or altered unless such amendment, change, modification, or alteration is in writing and signed by both Parties. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including by telefacsimile transmission, each of which is an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same original instrument. This Agreement completely and fully supersedes all other prior understandings or agreements, both written and oral, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not invalidate, void, or make unenforceable any other provision, agreement or covenant of this Agreement, provided the basic purposes of this Agreement and the benefits to the Parties are not substantially impaired. 10.5 No Waiver. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party shall not be construed as a waiver of any other default, nor shall any delay by a Party in the exercise of any right under this Agreement be considered as a waiver or relinquishment thereof. 10.6 Jurisdiction. Any judicial action arising out of, resulting from or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be brought only in a state or federal court of Multnomah County, Oregon. In the event such judicial proceedings are instituted by either Party, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to award of its costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such proceedings. 10.7 Jury Trial Waiver. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO, OR THE TRANSAC- TIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY 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. 10.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. With the exception of Transmission Provider and Interconnection Provider, who are express third party beneficiaries hereof, this Agreement confers no rights whatsoever upon any person other than the Parties and shall not create, or be interpreted as creating, any standard of care, duty or liability to any person not a Party hereto. 10.9 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to create an association, joint venture, trust, or partnership, or impose a trust or partnership covenant, obligation, or liability on or with regard to any one or more of the Parties. Each Party shall be individually responsible for its own covenants, obligations, and liabilities under this Agreement. 10.10 Survival. This Article survives the expiration or termination hereof.

EXHIBIT J NERC EVENT TYPES Event Type U1 Unplanned (Forced) Outage—Immediate – An outage that requires immediate removal of a unit from service, another outage state or a Reserve Shutdown state. This type of outage results from immediate mechanical/electrical/hydraulic control systems trips and operator-initiated trips in response to unit alarms. U2 Unplanned (Forced) Outage—Delayed – An outage that does not require immediate removal of a unit from the in-service state but requires removal within six (6) hours. This type of outage can only occur while the unit is in service. U3 Unplanned (Forced) Outage—Postponed – An outage that can be postponed beyond six hours but requires that a unit be removed from the in-service state before the end of the next weekend. This type of outage can only occur while the unit is in service. SF Startup Failure – An outage that results from the inability to synchronize a unit within a specified startup time period following an outage or Reserve Shutdown. A startup period begins with the command to start and ends when the unit is synchronized. An SF begins when the problem preventing the unit from synchronizing occurs. The SF ends when the unit is synchronized or another SF occurs. MO Maintenance Outage – An outage that can be deferred beyond the end of the next weekend, but requires that the unit be removed from service before the next planned outage. (Characteristically, a MO can occur any time during the year, has a flexible start date, may or may not have a predetermined duration and is usually much shorter than a PO.) ME Maintenance Outage Extension – An extension of a maintenance outage (MO) beyond its estimated completion date. This is typically used where the original scope of work requires more time to complete than originally scheduled. Do not use this where unexpected problems or delays render the unit out of service beyond the estimated end date of the MO. PO Planned Outage – An outage that is scheduled well in advance and is of a predetermined duration, lasts for several weeks and occurs only once or twice a year. PE Planned Outage Extension – An extension of a planned outage (PO) beyond its estimated completion date. This is typically used where the original scope of work requires more time to complete than originally scheduled. Do not use this where unexpected problems or delays render the unit out of service beyond the estimated end date of the PO.
