APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 4
(3) Interest Rate:

If the Debt bears a fixed rate, the interest rate will be set at the time of issuance. If

published or quoted index of short-term rates.
(4) Dates of issuance and maturity:

The Company expects to issue the Debt from time to time in either public offerings
or private placements for cash or in exchange for its outstanding securities.
Maturities will be established at the time of issuance.
(5) Institutional rating of the securities, or if not rated an explanation:
The Company’s debt is rated, as of the date of this filing, as follows:

Securit Mood ’s S & P
Senior Secured Debt A2 A
Senior Unsecured Debt Baa1 BBB+

(6) Stock Exchange on which listed:
The Company has generally not listed its bonds, but has in the past listed certain
unsecured debt on The New York Stock Exchange. If the Debt is issued publicly in
an overseas market, the Debt may be listed, if appropriate, on one or more foreign
exchanges.
(7) Additional descriptive information:
Alternatives currently available to the Company include: (1) conventional first
mortgage bonds placed publicly or privately in the domestic or foreign markets: (2)
unsecured debt securities placed publicly or privately in the domestic or foreign
markets; and (3) floating-rate debt placed publicly or privately in the domestic or
foreign markets. A brief description of these transactions is set forth below.
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 5
i. First Mortgage Bonds – First mortgage bonds have been the traditional debt
financing vehicle utilized by utilities in the United States, and are typically
offered in public offerings but may be privately placed. First mortgage
bonds are secured by a mortgage on the fixed assets of the utility.
The bonds are typically redeemable through a make-whole call at
the Company’s option at redemption prices dependent upon U.S. Treasury
yields. This type of redemption feature does not typically require the issuer
to pay a higher coupon rate. The Company may determine that a call
provision is appropriate to provide financial flexibility in changing interest
rate environments, and the bonds may be redeemable at a premium over the
principal amount, with the premium declining to zero near the final maturity
of the bonds.
The Company’s first mortgage bonds are issued as First Mortgage
Bonds under the PacifiCorp Mortgage. The Commission has previously
authorized the Company to incur the lien of the PacifiCorp Mortgage in
Case No. U-1046-15, Order No. 22157.
The underwriting fee for First Mortgage Bond issuances varies by
the maturity of the debt but is not expected to exceed 0.875 percent of the
principal amount, and issuance fees in total are not expected to exceed 1.0
percent of the principal amount.
ii. Unsecured Debt Securities – Unsecured debt securities will be subordinated
to the Company’s First Mortgage Bonds. These securities may be issued in
one or more separate series or in a single series and placed publicly or
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 6
privately in the domestic or foreign markets and may be fixed or variable
rate. Principal amount, maturity, interest rate, call features and redemption
terms are fixed at the time of sale.
Compensation to the agents varies by the maturity of each tranche
of securities issued, but is not expected to exceed two percent of the
principal amount of securities placed. Fees may be higher for retail placed
securities on an exchange.
iii. Floating-Rate Debt – Floating-rate debt is a security with variable coupon
rates that reset periodically, such as daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-
annually or annually at the option of the Company. Common indices used
for pricing floating-rate debt could be based upon Secured Overnight
Financing Rate or successor benchmark rates, federal funds rates or U.S.
Treasury rates.
Refunding provisions for floating-rate debt vary from transaction to
transaction depending upon the structure of the agreement. Should the
Company subsequently fix the interest rate through an interest rate swap or
cap, the cost of refunding would include the cost of unwinding the swap or
cap.
Floating-rate debt could be more advantageous than fixed-rate debt.
First, it can provide the Company with an occasional source of long-term
funding at attractive rates compared to the fixed-rate market. Second, it
allows the Company access to the short end of the yield curve when short-
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 7
term rates are attractive. Should rates begin to increase, the Company could
execute an interest rate swap or cap to secure a fixed rate.
The fees associated with a floating-rate debt arrangement are not
expected to exceed one percent of the principal amount of the debt.
iv. Credit Support Arrangements – In addition, the Company may find it
advantageous to enter into letter of credit arrangements with one or more
banks or such other agreements or arrangements as may be necessary or
appropriate, from time to time, to provide additional credit support for the
payment of the principal of, the interest on and the premium of the Debt.
Such credit support arrangements could result in a lower all-in cost of debt.
(e.) A description of the method of issuance and sale or procedure by which any obligation as
guarantor will be assumed:

The Company proposes to issue the Debt from time to time in either public
offerings or private placements, domestically or overseas, for cash or in exchange for its
outstanding securities. The financial markets have become increasingly global and, as such,
foreign sources of capital compete directly with domestic sources for investment
opportunities. The Company anticipates that issuances will be primarily fixed-rate First
Mortgage Bonds, but it is requesting authority for a variety of borrowing options in order
to provide the financial flexibility to pursue the most attractive markets at the time of
issuance and to produce the most competitive cost for the Company.
Underwriters or placement agents will be selected after negotiations with a group
of potential candidates. The firm or firms selected to lead an offering under this authority
will be determined by the Company’s assessment of their ability to assist the Company in
meeting its objective of having the lowest total cost for the Debt to be issued. This
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 8
assessment is based upon the level of underwriting or placement fees, their knowledge of
the Company and its varied operations, the Company’s parent company and its affiliates,
and their ability to market the Debt to achieve the Company’s financing and capital
structure objectives.
(f.) (i) The name and address of any person receiving a fee (other than a fee for technical
services) for negotiating, issuing, or selling the securities or for securing an
underwriter, sellers, or purchasers of securities except as related to a competitive
bid:
Other than for technical services, the only fees payable by the Company will be
fees and expenses to the underwriters and agents. The Company may also incur an
annual fee for credit support which is not expected to exceed one percent on the
principal amount of the Debt.
(ii) The fee amount:
Subject to final negotiations, the fee is not expected to exceed 3.0 percent of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debt if the Debt is issued overseas. If issued
domestically, the fee is not expected to exceed 1.0 percent of the aggregate principal
amount of the Debt. The level of the fee is only one factor in determining the overall
cost of the Debt to be issued and, as such, is not the sole basis of the financing
decision.
(iii) The facts showing the reason for and reasonableness of the fee:
The aforementioned compensation levels to the agents or underwriters are
consistent with the usual and customary fees prevailing currently in the market.
These fees are reasonable given the services provided by the agents or underwriters.
The agents and the underwriters will be familiar with the Company, its parent
company and affiliates and their long-term financing needs. They will be available
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 9
for consultation on these matters and will assist the Company in evaluating market
conditions and in formulating the exact terms of the transactions. See subsection (f)
supra.
(g.) The purposes of the issuance:
The purposes for which the Debt is proposed to be issued in this matter are: (1) the
acquisition of property; (2) the construction, completion, extension or improvement of
utility facilities; (3) the improvement of service; (4) the discharge or lawful refunding of
obligations which were incurred for utility purposes; or (5) the reimbursement of the
Company’s treasury for funds used for the foregoing purposes.
The Company keeps its accounts in a manner which enables the Commission to
ascertain the amount of money expended and the purposes for which the expenditures were
made. If the funds to be reimbursed were used for the discharge or refunding of obligations,
those obligations or their precedents were originally incurred in furtherance of the utility
purposes listed above.
To the extent that the funds to be reimbursed were used for the discharge or
refunding of obligations, those obligations or their precedents were originally incurred in
furtherance of utility purposes (1), (2) and (3) supra.
The results of the offerings are estimated to be:

(h.) Statement that applications for authority to finance are required to be filed with state
governments:
In addition to this Application, the Company is filing an application with the Oregon Public
Utility Commission and a notice to the Washington Utilities and Transportation
Commission in connection with each issuance pursuant to Washington law. The California
Public Utilities Commission, the Utah Public Service Commission and the Wyoming
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 11
Public Service Commission have exempted the Company from their respective securities
statutes.
(i.) A statement of the facts relied upon to show that the issuance is appropriate:
As a public utility, the Company is expected to acquire, construct, improve and
maintain sufficient utility facilities to serve its customers adequately and reliably at
reasonable cost. The proposed issuances of the Debt are part of a program to finance the
Company’s facilities taking into consideration prudent capital ratios, earnings coverage
tests, market uncertainties and the relative merits of the various types of securities the
Company could sell or other financing it could arrange.
Accordingly, the proposed issuances: (1) are for lawful objects within the corporate
purposes of the Company; (2) are compatible with the public interest; (3) are necessary or
appropriate for or consistent with the proper performance by the Company of its service as
a public utility; (4) will not impair its ability to perform that service; and (5) are reasonably
necessary or appropriate for these purposes.

EXHIBIT B

UNANIMOUS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
PACIFICORP
Resolutions No. 2024-001
Pursuant to ORS §60.341, the undersigned, constituting all of the current directors of the Board of Directors of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), hereby adopt and unanimously consent to the following resolutions as of February 6, 2024:
I.Long-Term Borrowing Authorizations
A.First Mortgage, and Collateral Trust Bonds
The Board of Directors of PacifiCorp (the “Board”), through Resolution No. 2023-003 adopted June 15, 2023 (the “Prior June 2023 Resolutions”), most recently reauthorized the issuance and sale or exchange by the Company from
time to time of up to $5,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof at the time of issuance in foreign currencies) in aggregate principal amount of one or more new series of its First Mortgage and Collateral Trust Bonds, to be issued under and secured by the Company’s Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated as of January 9, 1989 to the trustee thereunder (the “Trustee”), as heretofore amended and
supplemented and as it may be further amended and supplemented (the “PacifiCorp Mortgage”).
The Board has unanimously resolved that it is in the best interests of the Company to authorize the issuance of additional bonds and restate the unused
authority of the Prior June 2023 Resolutions, subject to and as further detailed
below.
RESOLVED, that the Board hereby authorizes the issuance and sale or exchange by the Company, from time to time, of up to $5,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof at the time of issuance in foreign currencies) in aggregate
principal amount of one or more new series of its First Mortgage and Collateral
Trust Bonds (the “Bonds”), to be issued under and secured by the PacifiCorp Mortgage.
RESOLVED, that the Bonds may be sold, or may be exchanged for other outstanding securities of the Company, publicly or in private transactions, in
such amounts, at such times, at such prices, may bear interest at such variable,
floating, or fixed rates, may be redeemable at such redemption prices, mature at such date or dates, and have such other terms and characteristics as shall be fixed by an Authorizing Officer (as defined below); provided, however, that the issuance and sale or exchange by the Company of the Bonds shall be
subject to (1) the Company’s first having obtained all necessary authorizations
therefor from the federal and state regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over such issuance and sale or exchange and (2) the Company’s compliance
Exhibit B Page 1 of 15

Resolutions No. 2024-001 February 6, 2024 Page 2 of 11
with the registration requirements of all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with such issuance and sale or exchange.
RESOLVED, that any of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; the Presidents and Chief Executive Officers of its divisions; its Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer; its Vice president, Controller and Assistant Treasurer; and any other officer of the Company designated by any two of such officers (each, an “Authorizing Officer”), acting jointly with at

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using the “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may from time to time sell the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides a general description of the securities. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. That prospectus supplement may include or incorporate by reference a detailed and current discussion of any risk factors and will discuss any special considerations applicable to those securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under “Where You Can Find More Information.” If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement related to offered securities, you should rely on the information contained in that prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, in this prospectus, the words “PacifiCorp,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation, and its subsidiaries.
For more detailed information about the securities, you can read the exhibits to the registration statement. Those exhibits have been either filed with the registration statement or incorporated by reference to earlier SEC filings listed in the registration statement. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”
You should rely only on the information contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. We have not, and any underwriters, agents or dealers have not, authorized anyone else to provide you with different information. We are not, and any underwriters, agents or dealers are not, making an offer of these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of the prospectus supplement or that the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of those documents. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may have changed since that date.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the additional information referred to under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. Examples include discussions as to our expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives and future financial or other performance or assumptions concerning matters discussed, including through incorporation by reference, in this prospectus. This information, by its nature, involves estimates, projections, forecasts, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ substantially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements found in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond our ability to control. We have identified a number of these factors in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K, the Forms 10-Q and the Forms 8-K incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and we refer you to those reports for further information.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are qualified in their entirety by the preceding cautionary statements.
THE COMPANY
PacifiCorp, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company (“BHE”), is a U.S. regulated electric utility company headquartered in Oregon that serves retail electric customers in portions of Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho and California. We are principally engaged in the business of generating, transmitting, distributing and selling electricity. Our combined service territory includes diverse regional economies across six states. No single segment of the economy dominates the combined service territory, which helps mitigate our exposure to economic fluctuations. In the eastern portion of the service territory, consisting of Utah, Wyoming and southeastern Idaho, the principal industries are manufacturing, mining or extraction of natural resources, agriculture, technology, recreation and government. In the western portion of the service territory, consisting of Oregon, southern Washington and northern California, the principal industries are agriculture, manufacturing, forest products, food processing, technology, government and primary metals. In addition to retail sales, we buy and sell electricity on the wholesale market with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants to balance and optimize the economic benefits of electricity generation, retail customer loads and existing wholesale transactions.
Our operations are conducted under numerous franchise agreements, certificates, permits and licenses obtained from federal, state and local authorities. Several of these franchise agreements allow the municipality the right to seek amendment to
1

Exhibit E Page 5 of 33
the franchise agreement at a specified time during the term. We generally have an exclusive right to serve electric customers within our service territories and, in turn, have an obligation to provide electric service to those customers. In return, the state utility commissions have established rates on a cost-of-service basis, which are designed to allow us an opportunity to recover our costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on our investments.
We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Oregon in 1989 and our principal executive offices are located at 825 N.E. Multnomah Street, Portland, Oregon 97232, our telephone number is [phone] and our internet address is http://www.pacificorp.com. We deliver electricity to customers in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho under the trade name Rocky Mountain Power and to customers in Oregon, Washington and California under the trade name Pacific Power.
All shares of our common stock are indirectly owned by BHE. We also have shares of preferred stock outstanding that are subject to voting rights in certain limited circumstances.
For additional information concerning our business and affairs, including our capital requirements, external financing arrangements and pending legal and regulatory proceedings, including descriptions of those laws and regulations to which we are subject, prospective purchasers should refer to the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus as described in the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risk. Before purchasing any securities we offer, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and the following risk factors related to the securities, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference herein in order to evaluate an investment in our securities. See “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference” in this prospectus. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified or that we currently believe are immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a loss on your investment.
We have not appraised the collateral subject to the Mortgage securing our bonds and, if there is a default or a foreclosure
sale, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay the holders of any bonds.
We have not made any formal appraisal of the value of the collateral subject to the Mortgage (as defined below under “Description of Bonds”), which will secure any bonds we may offer along with other bonds issued under the Mortgage. The Mortgage does not limit the maximum amount of other bonds we may issue under the Mortgage. The value of the collateral in the event of a liquidation or foreclosure will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers, the timing of the sale of the collateral and other factors. We cannot assure you that the proceeds from a sale of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the amounts outstanding under our first mortgage bonds or that such payments would be made in a timely manner. If the proceeds were not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the bonds, then holders of the bonds, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, would only have an unsecured claim against our remaining assets.
There is no existing market for the bonds, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market for the bonds will
develop.
We do not intend to apply for listing of the bonds on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the bonds. Accordingly, the ability of holders to sell the bonds that they hold or the price at which holders will be able to sell the bonds may be limited. Future trading prices of the bonds will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for similar securities.
We do not know whether an active trading market will develop for the bonds. To the extent that an active trading market does develop, the price at which a holder may be able to sell the bonds that it holds, if at all, may be less than the price paid for them. Consequently, a holder may not be able to liquidate its investment readily, and the bonds may not be readily accepted as collateral for loans.
The terms of the Mortgage and the supplemental indentures do not prohibit us from incurring additional indebtedness,
which could adversely affect our financial condition.
The terms of the Mortgage and the supplemental indentures do not prohibit us from incurring indebtedness in addition to the bonds we may issue. Accordingly, we could enter into financings, acquisitions, refinancings, recapitalizations or other highly leveraged transactions that could significantly increase our total amount of outstanding indebtedness. The interest payments needed to service this increased level of indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. A highly leveraged capital structure could also impair our overall credit quality, making it more difficult for us to finance our operations, and could result in a downgrade in the ratings of our indebtedness, including any bonds we may issue, by credit rating agencies.
2

Exhibit E Page 6 of 33
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the net proceeds to be received by us from the issuance and sale of the bonds will initially become part of our general funds and will be used for capital expenditures or utility asset purchases, to repay all or a portion of our short- or long-term borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
DESCRIPTION OF BONDS
General
We may issue first mortgage bonds from time to time under our Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of January 9, 1989, as amended and supplemented (the “Mortgage”), with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) (the “Mortgage Trustee”). The following summary is subject to the provisions of and is qualified by reference to the Mortgage, a copy of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Registration Statement. Whenever particular provisions or defined terms in the Mortgage are referred to in the following summary, those provisions or defined terms are found in the Mortgage. Section and Article references used below are references to provisions of the Mortgage unless we otherwise note. When we refer to “bonds,” we refer to all first mortgage bonds issued under the Mortgage, including any bonds that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus.
We expect to issue bonds in the form of fully registered bonds and, except as may be set forth in any prospectus supplement, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The bonds may be transferred without charge, other than for applicable taxes or other governmental charges, at the offices of the Mortgage Trustee. See “Book-Entry, Delivery and Form.”
Maturity and Interest Payments
The prospectus supplement relating to any bonds will set forth the date or dates on which those bonds will mature, the rate or rates per annum at which those bonds will bear interest and the times at which any interest will be payable. Those terms, as well as other terms and conditions of the bonds, including those related to redemption and purchase referred to under “Redemption or Purchase of Bonds” below, will be established by us at the time we issue the bonds.
Redemption or Purchase of Bonds
The prospectus supplement relating to any particular series of bonds will set forth the redemption or repurchase terms and other specific terms of those bonds.
If we elect or are required to redeem all or part of the bonds, we will provide a notice of redemption in accordance with the Mortgage at least 10 days prior to the redemption date unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture to the Mortgage. A failure to duly give notice to any bondholder will not affect the validity of the redemption of any other bond. A notice of redemption may be subject to the receipt of the redemption amount by the Mortgage Trustee on or before the date fixed for redemption and will be of no effect unless the redemption amount is received. If the redemption amount is held by the Mortgage Trustee for redemption, on and after the redemption date the bonds subject to redemption will cease to bear interest and will cease to be entitled to the lien of the Mortgage. (Section 12.02)
We may request that cash deposited under any provisions of the Mortgage be applied (with specific exceptions) to the redemption or repurchase of bonds of any series. (Section 7.03, Section 12.05 and Section 13.06)
There is no sinking or analogous fund in the Mortgage.
Security and Priority
The bonds will be issued under the Mortgage and secured by a first mortgage lien on certain utility property owned from time to time by us. Any bonds issued will be equally and ratably secured with all other bonds issued under the Mortgage.
The Mortgage excepts from its lien, among others, all cash and securities (except as specifically deposited with the Mortgage Trustee in certain circumstances); equipment, materials or supplies held for sale or other disposition; any fuel and similar consumable materials and supplies; automobiles, other vehicles, aircraft, boats and vessels; timber, crops, minerals, mineral rights and royalties; receivables, general intangibles, contracts, leases and operating agreements (except those specifically pledged); electric energy, gas, water, steam and other products for sale, distribution or other use; natural gas wells and leases; gas transportation lines or other property used in the sale of natural gas to customers or to a natural gas distribution or pipeline company, up to the point of connection with any distribution system; and our interest in the Wyodak coal-fueled generation facility. The lien of the Mortgage is also subject to Excepted Encumbrances, including tax and construction liens, purchase money liens, certain rights of and obligations to public authorities and others, certain easements, restrictions, exceptions or reservations related to our property and rights of way, and other specific exceptions. (Section 1.06) We have reserved the right, without any consent or other action by holders of bonds of the Ninth Series or any subsequently created series of bonds, to amend the Mortgage in order to except from the lien of the Mortgage allowances allocated to steam-electric generating plants owned by us, or in which we have interests, pursuant to Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, as now in effect or as hereafter supplemented or amended. (See Section 2.01 of the Thirty-Fourth Supplemental Indenture)

Exhibit E Page 7 of 33
The Mortgage subjects after-acquired property to the mortgage lien, generally subject to the exceptions discussed above. In addition, after-acquired property may be subject and subordinate to a Class “A” Mortgage, purchase money mortgages and other liens or defects in title. A Class “A” Mortgage is a mortgage or similar indenture of a company that is merged into or consolidated with us and designated by us as a Class “A” Mortgage. (Section 1.02)
The Mortgage provides that the Mortgage Trustee shall have a lien on the mortgaged property, prior to the holders of bonds, for the payment of its reasonable compensation and expenses and for indemnity against certain liabilities. (Section 19.09)
Issuance of Bonds
An unlimited principal amount of bonds may be issued under the Mortgage. Bonds of any series may be issued from time to time on the basis of:
(1) 70% of the cost or fair value of qualified Property Additions after certain adjustments, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage;
(2) Class “A” Bonds (which need not bear interest) issued under a Class “A” Mortgage delivered to the Mortgage Trustee;
(3) retirement of bonds or certain prior lien bonds; and/or
(4) deposits of cash.
With certain exceptions in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, the issuance of bonds is subject to our Adjusted Net Earnings for 12 consecutive months out of the preceding 15 months, before interest expense and income taxes, being at least twice the Annual Interest Requirements on all outstanding bonds issued under the Mortgage, all outstanding Class “A” Bonds not held by the Mortgage Trustee, all other indebtedness secured by a lien prior to the lien of the Mortgage and all bonds then applied for in pending bond issuance applications under the Mortgage. In general, interest on variable interest bonds, if any, is calculated using the rate then in effect. (Section 1.07 and Articles IV through VII)
Property Additions generally include property used in generating, transmitting, transporting, supplying and managing the use of energy or fuel in any form, other than, generally, property excepted from the Mortgage as described above such as fuel, rolling stock, property which is chargeable as an operating expense, and property used principally for the production or gathering of natural gas. (Section 1.04)
Release and Substitution of Property
Property subject to the Mortgage may be released generally on the basis of:
(1) the release of that property from a Qualified Lien;
(2) the deposit of cash, outstanding bonds or, to a limited extent, purchase money mortgages;
(3) Property Additions, after making adjustments for certain prior lien bonds outstanding against Property Additions; and/or
(4) a waiver of the right to issue bonds on the basis of bond retirements.
Funded Cash, as defined in Section 1.05 of the Mortgage, may be withdrawn upon the bases stated in (3) and (4) above. The Mortgage contains special provisions with respect to certain prior lien bonds deposited and disposition of moneys received in respect of deposited prior lien bonds. In addition, the Mortgage provides an alternative provision (Section 13.04) for release of property that does not constitute Funded Property (generally, “Funded Property” is property that was used as the basis for bond issuances or other property releases). This alternative provision does not require any of the basis for release described above and instead requires, among other conditions, the amount of outstanding bonds to not exceed 70% of the fair value of the then Funded Property at the time of the release. (Sections 1.05, 7.02, 9.05, 10.01 through 10.04 and 13.03 through 13.09)
Merger, Consolidation, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease
We may consolidate or merge with any company carrying on a similar business as us, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our property to another company, generally provided that the action fully preserves and does not impair the lien of the Mortgage or the rights of the Mortgage Trustee and bondholders. (Section 18.01) In those circumstances, the Mortgage will not be required to become a lien upon any of the properties owned or thereafter acquired by the successor company. (Section 18.03) The Mortgage further provides that in the event of the merger or consolidation of another company with or into us or the conveyance or transfer to us by another company of all or substantially all of that company’s property that is of the same character as Property Additions, as defined in the Mortgage, an existing mortgage constituting a first lien on operating properties of that other company may be designated by us as a Class “A” Mortgage. (Section 11.06) Bonds thereafter issued pursuant to the additional mortgage would be Class “A” Bonds and could provide the basis for the issuance of bonds under the Mortgage.
4
Exhibit E Page 8 of 33
Certain Covenants
The Mortgage contains a number of covenants by us for the benefit of the holders of the bonds, including provisions requiring us to maintain the mortgaged property as an operating system or systems capable of engaging in all or any of the generating, transmission, distribution or other utility businesses described in the Mortgage. (Article IX)
Dividend Restrictions
The Mortgage provides that we may not declare or pay dividends (other than dividends payable solely in shares of our common stock) on any shares of our common stock if, after giving effect to the declaration or payment, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business. (Section 9.07)
Foreign Currency Denominated Bonds
The Mortgage authorizes the issuance of bonds denominated in foreign currencies, provided that we deposit with the Mortgage Trustee a currency exchange agreement with an entity having, at the time of the deposit, a financial rating at least as high as our financial rating that, in the opinion of an independent accountant, appraiser or other expert, gives us at least as much protection against currency exchange fluctuation as is usually obtained by similarly situated borrowers. (Section 2.03) We believe that this type of currency exchange agreement will provide effective protection against currency exchange fluctuations. However, if the other party to the exchange agreement defaults and the foreign currency is valued higher at the date of maturity than at the date of issuance of the relevant bonds, holders of those bonds would have a claim on our assets that is greater than the claim to which holders of dollar-denominated bonds issued at the same time would be entitled.
The Mortgage Trustee
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. or its affiliates may act as a lender, trustee or agent under other agreements and indentures involving us and our affiliates.
Modification
The rights of bondholders may be modified with the consent of holders of at least 60% of the principal amount of the bonds outstanding, or, if not all series of bonds are adversely affected, the consent of the holders of at least 60% of the principal amount of the outstanding bonds adversely affected. In general, no modification of the terms of payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and no modification permitting the creation of a lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Mortgage or reducing the percentage required for modification is effective against any bondholder without the consent of the holder. (Section 21.07)
Unless we are in default in the payment of the interest on any bonds then Outstanding under the Mortgage or there is a Default under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Trustee generally is required to vote Class “A” Bonds held by it with respect to any amendment of the applicable Class “A” Mortgage proportionately with the vote of the holders of all Class “A” Bonds then actually voting. (Section 11.03)
Defaults and Notice Thereof
“Defaults” are defined in the Mortgage as:
(1) default in payment of principal;
(2) default for 60 days in payment of interest or an installment of any fund required to be applied to the purchase or redemption of any bonds;
(3) default in payment of principal or interest with respect to certain prior lien bonds beyond any grace period;
(4) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;
(5) default in other covenants for 90 days after notice; or
(6) the existence of any default under a Class “A” Mortgage that permits the declaration of the principal of all the bonds secured by the Class “A” Mortgage and the interest accrued thereupon due and payable. (Section 15.01)
An effective default under any Class “A” Mortgage or under the Mortgage will result in an effective default under all those mortgages. The Mortgage Trustee may withhold notice of default (except in payment of principal, interest or funds for retirement of bonds) if it determines that it is not detrimental to the interests of the bondholders. (Section 15.02)
5
Exhibit E Page 9 of 33
The Mortgage Trustee or the holders of 25% of the principal amount of the bonds outstanding may declare the principal and interest due and payable on Default, but a majority may annul the declaration if the Default has been cured. (Section 15.03) No holder of bonds may enforce the lien of the Mortgage unless the Mortgage Trustee is given written notice of a Default and the Mortgage Trustee fails to act after the holders of 25% of the principal amount of the bonds outstanding have requested in writing the Mortgage Trustee to act, offered it reasonable opportunity to act and offered an indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred when enforcing the lien. (Section 15.16) The holders of a majority of the bonds may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Mortgage Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Mortgage Trustee, although the Mortgage Trustee has the right to decline to follow the direction if it involves personal liability or would be unjustifiably prejudicial to nonassenting bondholders, among other reasons. (Section 15.07) The Mortgage Trustee is not required to risk its funds or incur personal liability if there is reasonable ground for believing that repayment is not reasonably assured. (Section 19.08)
Defeasance
Under the terms of the Mortgage, we will be discharged from any and all obligations under the Mortgage in respect of the bonds of any series if we deposit with the Mortgage Trustee, in trust, moneys or government obligations, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on, the bonds of those series or portions thereof, on the redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be. The Mortgage Trustee need not accept the deposit unless it is accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect that (a) we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, (b) since the date of the Mortgage, there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon the opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the bonds or the right of payment of interest thereon (as the case may be) will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, and/or ensuing discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if the deposit and/or discharge had not occurred. (Section 20.02)
Upon the deposit, our obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on those bonds shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged and the holders of such bonds shall thereafter be entitled to receive payment solely from the funds deposited. (Section 20.02)
BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM
Unless we indicate differently in a prospectus supplement, the bonds initially will be issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more global bonds without interest coupons. The global bonds will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates evidencing bonds under the limited circumstances described below, a global bond may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee or by the nominee to the depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the successor depositary.
DTC has advised us that it is:
• a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;
• a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;
• a member of the Federal Reserve System;
• a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
• a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.
DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. “Direct participants” in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.
Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.
6
Exhibit E Page 10 of 33
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global bonds deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of global bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the global bonds. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the global bonds. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the global bonds are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
So long as the bonds are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer the bonds only through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable bonds, where notices and demands in respect of the bonds and the Mortgage may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time.
Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the bonds of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the bonds of such series to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the bonds of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
So long as bonds are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those bonds to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such bonds, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If bonds are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party.
Redemption proceeds on the bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.
Neither we, the Mortgage Trustee nor any agent of ours or of the Mortgage Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:
(1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the bonds or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the bonds; or
(2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its participants or indirect participants.
Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of bonds will not be entitled to have such bonds registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of such bonds. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the bonds and the Mortgage.
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the bonds.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, certificates representing the bonds are required to be printed and delivered.
As noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series of bonds generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in those bonds. However, if:
• DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global security or securities representing such series of bonds or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the notification to us or of our becoming aware of DTC’s ceasing to be so registered, as the case may be;
7
Exhibit E Page 11 of 33
• we determine, in our sole discretion and subject to DTC’s procedures, not to have such bonds represented by one or more global securities; or
• an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of bonds,
we will prepare and deliver certificates for such bonds in exchange for beneficial interests in the global bonds. Any beneficial interest in a global bond that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for bonds in definitive certificated form registered in the names that the depositary directs. It is expected that these directions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global bonds.
We have obtained the information in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system from sources that are believed to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities through underwriters, dealers or agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the specific terms of the offering of those securities, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of those securities and the proceeds to us from the sale, any underwriting discounts, agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If we use underwriters to sell securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Those securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, at a fixed public offering price, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The underwriter or underwriters with respect to a particular underwritten offering of securities will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering and, if an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter or underwriters will be set forth on the cover page of the prospectus supplement. Any underwriting compensation paid by us to the underwriters or agents in connection with an offering of securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement to the extent required by applicable law. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to specific conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.
If a dealer is used in the sale of any securities, we will sell those securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The name of any dealer involved in a particular offering of securities and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to the dealer will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering.
The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. We will describe the terms of any direct sales in a prospectus supplement. Any agent, who may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act, involved in the offer or sale of any of the securities will be named, and any commissions payable by us to the agent will be set forth, in the prospectus supplement relating to that offer or sale. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a reasonable best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
In connection with a particular underwritten offering of securities, and in compliance with applicable law, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the prices of the classes or series of securities offered, including stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. A description of these activities, if any, will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering.
Underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
We will indicate in a prospectus supplement the extent to which we anticipate that a secondary market for the securities will be available. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for the listing of any securities on a national securities exchange. If the securities are sold to or through underwriters, the underwriters may make a market in such securities, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. No underwriter would be obligated, however, to make a market in the securities, and any market-making could be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the underwriters. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the securities.
Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of those securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under, the Securities Act. Subject to some conditions, we may agree to indemnify the several underwriters, dealers or agents and their controlling persons against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that person may be required to make in respect thereof.
8
Exhibit E Page 12 of 33
During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus we are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes us, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distributing from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also restricts bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities.

LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities will be passed upon for us by Perkins Coie LLP, Portland, Oregon. If the securities are being distributed in an underwritten offering, certain legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters by counsel identified in the related prospectus supplement.
EXPERTS
The financial statements of PacifiCorp as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, incorporated by reference in this prospectus by reference to PacifiCorp’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report. Such financial statements are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the report of such firm given their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and June 30, 2023 and 2022, which is incorporated by reference herein, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their reports included in PacifiCorp’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit, and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their reports on the unaudited interim financial information because those reports are not “reports” or a “part” of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Oregon and is subject to the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “OBCA”). The Company’s Third Restated Articles of Incorporation (“Restated Articles”), and Bylaws, as amended (“Bylaws”), require the Company to indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The right to and amount of indemnification ultimately will be subject to determination by a court that indemnification in the circumstances presented is consistent with public policy considerations and other provisions of law. It is likely, however, that the Restated Articles would require indemnification at least to the extent that indemnification is authorized by the OBCA. The effect of the OBCA is summarized as follows:
(a) The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of indemnification in respect of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the Company, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually incurred, provided the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is not permitted in connection with a proceeding in which a person is adjudged liable to the Company or the person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received unless indemnification is permitted by a court upon a finding that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the person did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct.
(b) The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of indemnification in respect of any proceeding by or in the right of the Company against the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred, if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification may be granted if that person is adjudged to be liable to the Company unless indemnification is permitted by a court upon finding that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances.
(c) Under the OBCA, the Company may not indemnify a person in respect of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above unless one of the following determines that indemnification is permissible because the person has met the prescribed standard of conduct:
(1) the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding;
(2) if a quorum of directors not parties to the proceeding cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding;
(3) by special legal counsel selected by the Board or the committee thereof, as described in (1) and (2) above;
(4) if special legal counsel cannot be selected as described in (3) above, then by special legal counsel selected by majority vote of the full Board, including directors who are parties to the proceeding; or
(5) by the shareholders.
Authorization of the indemnification and evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses are to be determined as specified in any one of (1) through (5) above, except that if the determination of that indemnification’s permissibility is made by special legal counsel, then authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to the reasonableness of those expenses is to be made by those entitled to select special legal counsel. Indemnification can also be ordered by a court if the court determines that indemnification is fair in view of all of the relevant circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, every person who has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to be indemnified as a matter of right against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
(d) Under the OBCA, the Company may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof if the director or officer receiving the advance furnishes (i) a written affirmation of the director’s or officer’s good faith belief that he or she has met the prescribed standard of conduct and (ii) a written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that that person did not meet the standard of conduct.
The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which officers or directors may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders, action of directors or otherwise. Resolutions adopted by the Board require the Company to indemnify directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law and are intended to create an obligation to indemnify to the fullest extent a court may find to be consistent with public policy considerations.
In addition, under the form of underwriting agreement that the Company expects to enter into in connection with any issuance of the securities, in certain circumstances, the underwriters will agree to indemnify the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
II-7

Exhibit E Page 20 of 33
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), in connection
with the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Rules”), for the registration of the sale
from time to time by the Company of debt securities of the Company in the form of First Mortgage Bonds
(the “Securities”).
We understand that the Securities will be sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration
Statement, the applicable prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and supplements to the Prospectus (the
“Prospectus Supplements”). The Securities will be issued in one or more series pursuant to the Mortgage and Deed
of Trust, dated as of January 9, 1989, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A. (the “Trustee”), as successor trustee, as amended and supplemented (the “Mortgage”). The Mortgage is in the
form incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
In our capacity as counsel to the Company we have examined such documents, agreements and instruments
as we have deemed necessary for the opinions expressed below. As to matters of fact material to the opinions
expressed herein, we have relied on (a) information in public authority documents and (b) information provided in
certificates of officers of the Company. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on. In our
examination, we have assumed the following without investigation: (a) the authenticity of original documents and
the genuineness of all signatures, (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, and
(c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records,
documents, agreements, instruments and certificates we have reviewed.
For purposes of the opinions expressed below, we also assume that (a) the Registration Statement, and any
amendments or supplements thereto (including any necessary post-effective amendments), shall have become
effective under the Securities Act, (b) the Company and the Trustee shall have complied with the terms and
conditions of the Mortgage regarding the creation, authentication and delivery of any supplemental indenture to the
Mortgage, (c) a Prospectus Supplement shall have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the
Securities offered thereby, (d) all Securities shall be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal, state and
foreign securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the appropriate Prospectus
Supplement and (e) the Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee.
Based on and subject to the foregoing and the other assumptions, exclusions and qualifications in this letter,
we are of the opinion that when (a) the Securities have been duly authorized, (b) the final terms of the Securities
have been duly established and approved, and (c) the Securities have been duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Mortgage and delivered to and paid for by the purchasers thereof
as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement, the Securities will
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.
The opinions expressed above are subject to the following exclusions and qualifications:
a. Our opinions are as of the date hereof and we have no responsibility to update this
opinion for events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or as to facts relating to prior events that are
subsequently brought to our attention. This opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations, as in
effect on the date hereof, and we disavow any undertaking to advise you of any changes in law.
Exhibit E Page 25 of 33
b. We express no opinion as to enforceability of any right or obligation to the extent such
right or obligation is subject to and limited by (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of
creditors generally, (ii) rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether arising prior to, or after, the date hereof or
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, or (iii) the effect of federal and state securities laws and principles of
public policy on the rights of indemnity and contribution.
c. We do not express any opinions herein concerning any laws other than the laws in their
current forms of the State of Oregon, the State of New York and the federal securities laws of the United States of
America, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction and expressly disclaim
responsibility for advising you as to the effect, if any, that the laws of any other jurisdiction may have on the
opinions set forth herein.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and any amendments
thereto, including any and all post-effective amendments, and to the reference to our firm in the Prospectus under the
caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or related Rules.
