AMENDED AND RESTATED POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
For Firm Dispatchable Energy and Capacity


THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR FIRM DISPATCHABLE ENERGY AND CAPACITY (“Agreement”) is made this 29th day of October, 2021 (“Execution Date”), by and between Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“Company”), a Hawai‘i corporation, with principal offices in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and Kalaeloa Partners L.P. (“Seller”), a Delaware limited partnership, with principal offices in North Brunswick, New Jersey, doing business at 91-111 Kalaeloa Boulevard, Kapolei, Hawai‘i 96707.

BACKGROUND :

A. Company is an operating electric public utility on the Island of O‘ahu, subject to the Hawai‘i Public Utilities Law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, Chapter 269) and the rules and regulations of the Hawai‘i Public Utilities Commission (hereinafter called the “PUC”).

B. Company operates the Company System as an independent power grid and must maximize system reliability for its customers by ensuring that sufficient generation is available and that its system (including transmission and distribution) meets the requirements for voltage stability, frequency stability, and reliability standards.

C. Company desires to minimize fluctuations in its purchased power costs by acquiring dispatchable generation at a generally fixed energy price subject to limited fluctuation based on changes to the GDPIPD (as defined herein) on an annual basis.

D. Seller is organized for the purpose of planning, designing, constructing, owning, operating, and maintaining a combined cycle facility on property currently leased from Company at Kapolei, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i.

E. Seller understands the need to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the overall reliability of the Facility and the Company System.

F. Seller is a limited partnership (the “Partnership”) whose general partner is PSEG Kalaeloa, Inc. and whose limited partner is Kalaeloa Investment Partners, L.P.

G. PSEG Kalaeloa, Inc., a corporation with principal offices in Wilmington, Delaware, is indirectly wholly-owned by PSEG Power LLC.

H. Seller and ABB Energy Services, Inc. (“ABB Energy”) had previously entered into a turnkey Design/Build Contract, dated October 14, 1988 under which the Facility was constructed on the Site and commenced commercial operations in May 1991.

I. Seller and ABB Energy had previously entered into an Operating Maintenance and Repair Agreement dated November 8, 1988 (the “O&M Agreement”), for the Facility under
1


which ABB Energy operated and maintained the Facility for the benefit of Seller, as subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of March 31, 1997, pursuant to which, among other things, ABB Power Generation Inc. (“ABB Power”) succeeded to the interests of ABB Energy under the O&M Agreement. Thereafter, effective as of June 22, 2000, ABB Power merged into ABB Alstom Power Inc., which subsequently changed its name to Alstom Power Inc. On November 2, 2015, General Electric Company (“GE”) acquired ABB Alston Power Inc.’s power division and continued operation under the O&M Agreement. The O&M Agreement was further amended by Amendment No. 2, effective December 22, 2015, and by Amendment No. 3, effective as of December 26, 2016, which extended the term thereof to May 22, 2022. As a result, GE continues to operate and maintain the Facility for the benefit of Seller through May 22, 2022.

J. Seller has been providing through the Facility firm capacity of two hundred eight thousand (208,000) kilowatts to Company pursuant to that certain Power Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 14, 1988, as amended and clarified by (i) Amendment No. 1 to Power Purchase Agreement dated as of June 15, 1989, (ii) Restated and Amended Amendment No. 2 to Power Purchase Agreement dated as of February 9, 1990, (iii) Amendment No. 3 to Power Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 1991, (iv) Agreement to Clarify and Interpret dated as of March 31, 1997, (v) Amendment No. 4 to Power Purchase Agreement dated as of October 1, 1999, (vi) Confirmation Agreement Concerning Section 5.2B(2) of Power Purchase Agreement and Amendment No. 5 to Power Purchase Agreement dated as of October 12, 2004 (“Amendment No. 5”), and (vii) Agreement for Increment Two Capacity and Amendment No. 6 to Power Purchase Agreement dated as of October 12, 2004 (as so amended and clarified, the “Original Power Purchase Agreement”).

K. Seller has operated, and continues to operate, the Facility as a Qualifying Facility (“QF”) as defined in the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (“PURPA”), in 18 Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) Part 292, and Title 6, Chapter 74 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules, as amended from time to time.

L. Seller undertook certain physical modifications to the Facility (the M Upgrade) pursuant to the Consent and Agreement dated as of December 31, 2003, by Company and Seller.

M. The Original Power Purchase Agreement provided that its terms shall expire on May 23, 2016. However, pursuant to Decision and Order No. 30380, issued by the PUC on May 14, 2012, the Commission granted an exemption to the Parties to negotiate an extension of the Original Power Purchase Agreement, subject to certain conditions. On August 1, 2016, Company and Seller agreed that neither Party would give written notice of termination resulting in the termination of the Original Power Purchase Agreement prior to the end of October 31, 2017. This agreement has been extended without lapse, with the most recent extension being made on May 31, 2021, where Company and Seller extended the agreement that neither party would give written notice of termination resulting in the termination of the Original Power Purchase Agreement prior to the end of October 31, 2021.

N. Company will not commit to purchase capacity from the Facility for an extended term unless this Agreement and the Facility (a) provide Company with the flexibility to
2


accommodate the substantial level of intermittent renewable energy resources that have been or are expected to be added to its system in 2020-2030 time frame, (b) help to ensure continued reliable operation of its system, and (c) afford Company the option of requiring that the Facility convert to alternative fuel generation as more fully set forth in Background Section P.

O. Seller had engaged 1898 & Co., a division of Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc. to undertake a condition assessment of the Facility to identify and plan for a multi-year program to recondition and replace major equipment components of the Facility during Seller’s normally scheduled overhaul and maintenance schedule over several years (collectively, the “Life Extension Program” or “LEP”) that will (a) enhance and thereby extend the operating life of the Facility in order to maintain performance guarantees during an extension of the Original Power Purchase Agreement, as restated and amended by this Agreement, (b) provide Company with the flexibility to accommodate the substantial level of intermittent renewables that have been or are expected to be added to its system in the 2020-2030 time frame and (c) help to ensure continued reliable operation of the Company System. As set forth above, the Life Extension Program will be implemented over several years during the Term during Seller’s normally scheduled overhaul and maintenance schedule for the Facility.

P. Company will not commit to purchase energy from Seller over the Term of this Agreement without assurance that the Facility, at Company’s election or if required by law, will be converted to alternative fuel generation as needed to help Company meet its obligations to achieve the levels mandated under Hawai‘i’s Renewable Portfolio Standards Law (codified in HRS §§ 269-91 through -95 (the “RPS Law”)).

Q. Seller has informed Company that the Facility can burn a wide variety of liquid fuels, including (1) low sulfur residual fuel oil (LSFO), as it presently does, (2) ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel oil (ULSO), (3) alternative fuel substitutes for LSFO, (4) biodiesel substitutes for ULSO and (5) LSFO/alternative fuel or ULSO/biodiesel blends.

R. Seller has informed Company that Seller has taken several steps in support of getting ready for the burning of alternative fuels, including test burn of palm based alternative fuel in January 2010, and assessment for the existing plant equipment that would require upgrading to facilitate operation on alternative fuel full time.

S. Seller determined that it is capable of blending certain alternative fuels.

T. Company desires the right to require Seller to convert the Facility, in whole or in part, from LSFO generation to alternative fuel generation, and Seller desires to grant Company that right, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein.

U. Company and Seller desire to amend and restate the Original Power Purchase Agreement, to incorporate certain modifications to the Original Power Purchase Agreement and to extend the term of the Original Power Purchase Agreement to enable Company to acquire energy and capacity over a longer term (provided, however, that the Original Power Purchase Agreement shall continue to be effective with respect to certain obligations of Seller and Company as provided herein).

22


circumstances described in Section 4.1(D) (Facility Problems); or (C) any such removal caused by events outside of the Facility.

The requirement set forth above in the first sentence of this definition regarding “consultation with Seller” shall, without limitation, be satisfied by any communication either from Seller’s plant operator to Company’s System Operator or vice versa with respect to the trip/shutdown in question regardless of whether or not the communication in question takes place before or after such trip/shutdown event. Such communication (i) need not be made by two-way medium and (ii) shall include any “hot line,” telephone or radio communication. The point of the clarification set forth in this paragraph is that in a trip/shutdown event, it is impracticable to interpret the term “consultation” to require an exchange of views between Seller and Company as a condition to Company action, and that such impracticality should not relieve Seller of the consequences, as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, of including the trip/shutdown event in question within the definition of “Unit Trip.”

The requirement set forth in the first sentence of this definition that Company “take immediate steps to place an unscheduled generator on-line” shall not operate to exclude from the “Unit Trips” definition a trip/shutdown event if, at the time of the trip/shutdown in question, all generators comprising the Company System that are available to operate are operating and Company would have taken steps to place another generator on-line had another generator been available.

The term “unscheduled generator” set forth in the first sentence of this definition shall be determined immediately prior to the instant of commencement of the trip/shutdown event and means, in the case of a steam generator a generator that had not been scheduled by Company to be on-line for at least another three (3) hours after the time a trip/shutdown event commenced, and in the case of a non-steam generator such as a combustion turbine or internal combustion engine, a generator that had not been scheduled by Company to be online at least another thirty
(30) minutes after the time a trip/shutdown event commenced.

The exclusion from the definition of “Unit Trip” of trips/shutdowns “caused by events outside of the Facility” shall not operate to preclude from the “Unit Trips” definition trips/shutdowns caused by events occurring outside the Facility through which a Facility like the Facility should reasonably be expected, as a result of employing Good Engineering and Operating Practices, to remain synchronized and continue operation without the occurrence of a trip/shutdown event.

The removal from service with less than one (1) hour notice to Company shall be deemed sudden and immediate for purposes of this definition.

Unplanned Removal From Service” – The unscheduled removal from service, other than for routine scheduled maintenance preapproved by Company, of a combustion turbine generator at the Facility, but not including any such removal caused by a disturbance or condition occurring on the Company System during which the Facility could not reasonably have been expected to remain synchronized and continue operation notwithstanding the employment of Good Engineering and Operating Practices.
23


(1) For purposes of this definition, Good Engineering and Operating Practices will not require that the Facility remain synchronized and continue operation through the following fault conditions:

(a) three phase fault conditions at the Points of Interconnection lasting more than one hundred twenty (120) milliseconds;

(b) two phase fault conditions at the Points of Interconnection lasting more than one hundred twenty (120) milliseconds); or

(c) single phase fault conditions at the Points of Interconnection lasting more than two (2.0) seconds.

A fault condition event shall be deemed to have ended when the voltage has recovered to and remains above 0.83 per unit (equivalent to 66.1 kV as measured line-to-ground) at Company’s Kalaeloa 138 kV Substation or such other location as close as practicable to the Points of Interconnection as Seller and Company agree in writing. Such voltage level shall be determined by the previously installed model 7100S Power Quality Monitor manufactured by Drantez-BMI (or such other equivalent power quality monitor acceptable to the Parties) at the Points of Interconnection or as close as practicable thereto (i.e., Company’s Kalaeloa 138 kV Substation) at the 138 kV level to measure the parameters necessary to determine whether a fault condition as described herein has occurred and the magnitude thereof. In the case where reliable data is not available from said measurement equipment, such voltage level shall be determined by interpretation or analysis of data collected from other voltage measuring equipment on the Company System and/or at the Facility.

(2) For purposes of this definition, Good Engineering and Operating Practices do not require that the Facility remain synchronized and continue operation if protection relay devices that are properly set, reviewed and accepted, and which operate in accordance with the specifications provided in this Agreement, have automatically removed all or a part of the Facility from service.

(3) No Unplanned Removal From Service shall be deemed to have occurred if an operator has manually removed one or both combustion turbine generators from service because, in his considered judgment, such condition or disturbance posed an immediate threat of serious damage to an integral part of the Facility despite the fact that none of the Facility’s breakers or protection relay devices automatically removed all or part of the Facility from service, provided that an after-the-fact review of the circumstances verifies that the actions of the operator were consistent with Good Engineer and Operating Practices.

Unsubordinated Claims” – (i) Liquidated Damages payments in accordance with
Article 9 (Liquidated Damages), (ii) damages payable under Section 8.3 (Equitable Remedies) or under Section 9.5 (Other Rights Upon Default), (iii) amounts to be reimbursed by Seller to Company for costs incurred by Company in connection with effecting a cure of defaults committed by Seller under the Financing Documents (if any) pursuant to Section 20.6 (Reimbursement of Company Costs) or complying with requests of the Financing Parties (if any)
24


in respect of, the Financing Documents (if any), (iv) payments by Seller for Company-Owned Interconnection Facilities to be installed by Company, (v) insurance premiums and other payments in accordance with Section 6.2 (Payment) and (vi) adjustments in accordance with Section 6.3 (Billing Disputes).

(4) Upon the Effective Date, the Original Power Purchase Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Original Power Purchase Agreement shall be of no force and effect except for disputes already subject to dispute resolution under the Original Power Purchase Agreement, which shall continue until resolution under the terms of the Original Power Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that any disputes under the Original Power Purchase Agreement for which arbitration under Section 17.2 (Dispute Resolution Procedures) of the Original Power Purchase Agreement has not been invoked prior to the Effective Date shall no longer be subject to arbitration under said Section 17.2 but shall, if the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute by negotiations, be subject to mediation and arbitration under the procedures set forth in Section 17.2 (Dispute Resolution Procedures) of this Agreement.

(C) PUC Approval.

(1) PUC Approval Order.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement that might be construed to the contrary, Company’s purchase of electric energy under this Agreement and Company’s payment of the Capacity Charge, and any and all terms and conditions of this Agreement that are ancillary to that purchase and that payment, are all contingent upon obtaining the Non-appealable PUC Approval Order and the occurrence of the Capacity Rate Inclusion Date. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall use good faith efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, a satisfactory PUC Approval Order that satisfies the requirements of Section 25.12(A) (PUC Approval Order). Company shall submit to the PUC an application for a satisfactory PUC Approval Order but does not extend any assurance that a PUC Approval will ultimately be obtained. Seller will provide reasonable cooperation to expedite obtaining a PUC Approval Order including timely providing information requested by Company to support its application, including information for Company and its consultant to conduct a greenhouse gas emissions analysis for the PUC application, as well as information requested by the PUC and parties to the PUC proceeding in which approval is being sought. Seller understands that lack of cooperation may result in Company's inability to file an application with the PUC and/or a failure to receive a PUC Approval Order. For the avoidance of doubt, Company has no obligation to seek reconsideration, appeal, or other administrative or judicial review of any Unfavorable PUC Order. The Parties agree that neither Party has control over whether or not a PUC Approval Order will be issued and each Party hereby assumes any and all risks arising from, or relating in any way to, the inability to obtain a satisfactory PUC Approval Order and hereby releases the other Party from any and all claims relating thereto.

(b) Seller shall seek participation without intervention in the PUC docket for approval of this Agreement pursuant to applicable rules and orders of the PUC. The scope of Seller's participation shall be determined by the PUC. However, Seller expressly agrees to seek participation for the limited purpose and only to the extent necessary to assist the PUC in making an informed decision regarding the approval of this Agreement. If Seller chooses not to seek participation in the docket, then Seller expressly agrees and knowingly waives the right to
28


claim, before the PUC, in any court, arbitration or other proceeding, that the information submitted and the arguments offered by Company in support of the application requesting the PUC Approval Order are insufficient to meet Company's burden of justifying that the terms of this Agreement are just and reasonable and in the public interest, or otherwise deficient in any manner for purposes of supporting the PUC's approval of this Agreement. Seller shall not seek in the docket and Company shall not disclose any confidential information to Seller that would provide Seller with an unfair business advantage or would otherwise harm the position of others with respect to their ability to compete on equal and fair terms.

(2) Prior to Effective Date. Company may, by written notice delivered prior to the Effective Date, declare the Agreement null and void if Seller is in breach of any of its representations, warranties and covenants under the Agreement, which, in Company’s reasonable judgment, has a material adverse effect on Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement or materially increases Company’s operational, financial or reputational risk associated with this Agreement.

(3) Time Periods for PUC Submittal Date and for PUC Approval.

(a) Time Period for PUC Submittal Date. If the PUC Submittal Date has not occurred within one hundred twenty (120) Days of the Execution Date, or such longer period as Company and Seller may agree to by a subsequent written agreement, Company may, by written notice delivered within thirty (30) Days of the expiration of such period, declare the Agreement null and void if the reason the application has not been filed is (i) the condition set forth in Section 2.2(C)(2) (Prior to Effective Date) or (ii) Seller's failure to provide in a timely manner information reasonably requested by Company to support such application.

(b) Time Period for PUC Approval. If the PUC issues an Unfavorable PUC Order or if a PUC Approval Order is not obtained within twelve (12) months of the PUC Submittal Date, or within such longer period as Company and Seller may agree to by a written agreement (the “PUC Approval Time Period”), Company or Seller may, by written notice delivered within one hundred eighty (180) Days of (i) in the case that an Unfavorable PUC Order has been issued, the date the Unfavorable PUC Order becomes non-appealable, or (ii) in the case that a PUC Approval Order is not issued within twelve (12) months of the PUC Submittal Date, or the expiration of the PUC Approval Time Period, as applicable, declare this Agreement null and void. If a PUC Approval Order or an Unfavorable PUC Order is issued within the PUC Approval Time Period, but such order is appealed, and a Non-appealable PUC Approval Order is not obtained within eighteen (18) months of the PUC Submittal Date, or within such longer period as Company and Seller may agree to by a subsequent written agreement (the “PUC Order Appeal Period”), Company or Seller may, by written notice delivered within ninety (90) Days after the expiration of the PUC Order Appeal Period, declare this Agreement null and void.

(D) Obligations of Parties Upon Declaration of the Agreement as Null and Void. If pursuant to Section 2.2(C) (PUC Approval), a Party exercises its right to declare this Agreement null and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and the Parties hereto shall be free of all obligations hereunder, other than as provided in this Section 2.2(D) (Obligations of Parties Upon Declaration of the Agreement as Null and Void), and shall pursue no further remedies against one another. A declaration that this Agreement is null and void pursuant to Section
29


2.2(C) (PUC Approval) shall not affect the following provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect: Section 2.2(B) (Effectiveness of Certain Obligations), this Section 2.2(D) (Obligation of Parties Upon Declaration of the Agreement as Null and Void), Section 3.2(I)(2) (Confidentiality), Article 17 (Dispute Resolution), Section 25.1 (Notices), Section 25.9 (Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue), Section 25.11 (Computation of Time), Section 25.16 (No Third Party Beneficiaries), Section 25.19 (Settlement of Disputes), Section 25.22 (Hawai‘i General Excise Tax), and Section 7 (Land Restoration) of Attachment G (Company-Owned Interconnection Facilities).

(E) Termination Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of Company or Seller to terminate the Agreement at any time upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Article 8 (Default) shall remain in full force and effect.

(F) [Reserved]

(G) Option to Purchase Facility and Right of First Negotiation. Company shall have the right of first negotiation prior to the end of the Term and option to purchase the Facility at the end of the Term, as provided in Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) to this Agreement.

In no event shall Company’s technical review and inspection of the Facility be deemed to be an endorsement of the design thereof or as any warranty of the safety, durability or reliability of the Facility nor a waiver of any of Company’s rights.

(B) Failure of Seller Conditions Precedent.

(1) Seller’s Remedial Action Plan. If Seller misses any of the submission deadlines required by the Conditions Precedent in Section 2.3(A) (Seller Conditions Precedent), Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such missed submission deadline, provide Company a remedial action plan which shall set forth a detailed description of Seller’s course of action and plan to provide Company with the required submission and to meet all subsequent submission deadlines and the Effective Date; provided, that delivery of any remedial action plan shall not relieve Seller of its obligation to meet any subsequent submission deadlines and the Effective Date.

(2) Seller’s Certification Requirements. Not later than ninety (90) Days after the PUC Submittal Date, Seller shall submit to Company (i) a certificate executed by a duly authorized officer of Seller declaring whether Seller considers that it has complied with the submission requirements of Section 2.3(A)(l) (Following the Execution Date), identifying with particularity the submissions on which such declaration relies, and certifying that such submissions are true and correct in all material respects and in no way materially misleading; and

2.4 No Waiver

(A) Conditions Precedent. Except as otherwise provided herein, failure by Company to invoke its rights under Section 2.3(B) (Failure of Seller Conditions Precedent) with respect to any particular Condition Precedent shall in no way diminish Company’s rights upon the failure of Seller to timely achieve any subsequent Condition Precedent.

(B) Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Company’s failure to declare an Event of Default during the time periods provided for in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver if such failure is the direct or indirect result of Seller’s misstatement of a material fact or Seller’s omission of a material fact which is necessary to make any representation, warranty, certification, guarantee or statement made (or notice delivered) by Seller to Company in connection with this Agreement (whether in writing or otherwise) not misleading.

In no event shall any failure by Company to exercise its rights under this Section 3.2(A)(4) (Review of Facilities) constitute a waiver by Company of, or otherwise release Seller from, any other provision of this Agreement.
35


(c) Areas of Common Concern. In areas of common concern, such as the type and settings of Seller’s protective relaying equipment, Seller shall submit such concerns, designs and settings for Company’s review and acceptance. Protective relay settings must coordinate with the Company System as Company, within its sole discretion, designs and operates the Company System.

(5) Facility Protection and Control Equipment.

(a) Seller’s Obligations. Seller shall, at its own cost, furnish, install, operate and maintain internal breakers, relays, switches, synchronizing equipment and other associated protective and control equipment necessary to maintain the standard of reliability, quality and safety of electric energy production suitable for parallel operation with the Company System as required by this Agreement and Good Engineering and Operating Practices.

(b) Company’s Right to Review the Design. Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to review and accept the design of all such equipment, protective relay settings, and control logic as soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) Days after the receipt of all Governmental Approvals required for the implementation of the LEP and shall present any comments relating thereto to Seller, as soon as practicable and in no event later than sixty (60) Days after receiving such design information.

(e) No Endorsement, Warranty or Waiver. Company’s inspection and acceptance of Seller’s equipment and settings shall not be construed as endorsing the design thereof, nor as any warranty of the safety, durability or reliability of said equipment and settings, nor as a waiver of any of Company’s rights. In no event shall any failure by Company to exercise its rights under this Section 3.2(A)(5) (Facility Protection and Control Equipment) constitute a waiver by Company of, or otherwise release Seller from, any other provision of this Agreement.

(f) Cooperation. Seller and Company shall cooperate with each other in good faith in agreeing upon design standards for any equipment or settings referred to in this Section 3.2(A)(5) (Facility Protection and Control Equipment).
36

Within a reasonable time after receipt of Company’s comments referred to in this Section 3.2(A)(5) (Facility Protection and Control Equipment) or notification by Company of problems related to Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.2(A)(5) (Facility Protection and Control Equipment), but no later than ninety (90) Days after such notification (unless such condition is causing a safety hazard or damage to the Company System or the facilities of any of Company’s customers, in which event the correction must be promptly made by Seller), Seller shall implement Company’s proposals.

(h) Relay Settings and Control Logic. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall utilize relay settings and control logic prescribed by Company, which may be changed over time within the design capability of the equipment as the requirements of the Company System change. If Seller demonstrates to the satisfaction of Company that the utilization of such relay settings and control logic would likely result or have resulted in an event normally requiring Liquidated Damages or an Event of Default, Seller shall be excused from same. If Seller and Company disagree as to whether the utilization of such relay settings resulted in an event that required Liquidated Damages or an Event of Default, a Qualified Independent Engineering Company will be chosen from the Qualified Independent Engineers List pursuant to Section 3.3(D)(1)(b) of this Agreement and the Qualified Independent Engineering Company will determine if the utilization of such relay settings resulted in the event that gave rise to Liquidated Damages or an Event of Default pursuant to the Independent Engineering Assessment. Seller and Company shall abide by the Qualified Independent Engineering Company’s determination.

(B) Warranties and Guarantees of Performance.

(1) Equivalent Availability Factor. Seller warrants and guarantees that, in each Contract Year during the Initial Term, the Facility will achieve an EAF of 85% or greater. If Seller performs a "C" inspection in a given Contract Year, the hours actually spent on such "C" inspection in that Contract Year shall be allocated evenly between that Contract Year and the subsequent Contract Year for purposes of calculating the EAF. (Routine combustion turbine washing will be charged as Reserve Shutdown Hours rather than as outage time for purposes of calculating unit availability. Routine combustion turbine washing shall mean the washing of combustion turbines during a period or periods, which total no more than twenty-four (24) hours, between 8:00 p.m. Friday and 8:00 a.m. Monday and during which period or periods one (1), but not more than one (1), combustion turbine is taken out of service at any one (1) time for washing and routine maintenance.) If a Force Majeure event(s) occurs, the Force Majeure period shall not count for the purposes of calculating EAF to compute Liquidated Damages or Event of Default criteria, but only to the extent that Seller’s inability to perform is caused by one (1) or more Force Majeure event(s).

(2) Equivalent Forced Outage Rate. Seller warrants and guarantees that, in each Contract Year during the Initial Term, the Facility will not exceed a six percent (6%) EFOR. If a Force Majeure event(s) occurs, the Force Majeure period shall not count for the purposes of calculating EFOR to compute Liquidated Damages or Event of Default criteria, but only to the extent that Seller’s inability to perform is caused by one (1) or more Force Majeure event(s).
37


(3) On-peak EFOR. Seller warrants and guarantees that, in each Contract Year during the Initial Term, the Facility will not exceed six percent (6%) during any Contract Year. If a Force Majeure event(s) occurs, the Force Majeure period shall not count for the purposes of calculating EFOR to compute Liquidated Damages or Event of Default criteria, but only to the extent that Seller’s inability to perform is caused by one (1) or more Force Majeure event(s).

(4) Contract Firm Capacity. Seller warrants and guarantees that the Facility will have and maintain the capability to produce and deliver to the Metering Point the Contract Firm Capacity in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(5) Power Quality. Seller warrants and guarantees that the Facility will produce electric energy that meets the quality standards in Section 3.c. (Reactive Amount), Section 3.i. (Primary Frequency Response), and Section 3.l. (Harmonics Standards) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller).

(6) Unit Trips. Seller warrants and guarantees that the Unit Trips will not exceed twelve (12) per Contract Year.

(7) Full Plant Trips. Seller warrants and guarantees that there shall be no Full Plant Trips during any Contract Year.

Within thirty (30) Days after the end of each Contract Year, Seller shall provide Company with a written report documenting the Operating Thermal Threshold actually achieved by Seller during such Contract Year.

(9) Liquidated Damages. If Seller fails to satisfy the warranties and guarantees of performance in this Section 3.2(B) (Warranties and Guarantees of Performance), Seller shall be liable for liquidated damages as provided in Article 9 (Liquidated Damages).

(10) Exclusive Warranties. The foregoing warranties and guarantees of performance constitute the exclusive warranties and guarantees under this Agreement and operate in lieu of all other warranties and guarantees, whether oral or written. Seller and Company disclaim any other warranty and guarantee, express or implied, including without limitation, warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

(C) Waste Handling. Seller shall be responsible for the handling and proper disposal of any waste products produced by the Facility, including but not limited to waste water and ash, and for any costs associated therewith.

(D) Emissions. Seller shall be responsible for the control and consequences of any and all emissions produced as a result of operation of the Facility and for the timely payment to the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Health or United States Environmental Protection Agency, as applicable, of all costs and expenses associated with any and all emissions produced as a result
38


of operation of the Facility, including, without limitation, air pollutant emission fees, carbon tax or other similar charges.

(E) Compliance with Laws. Seller shall at all times comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, orders, ordinance, permit conditions and other governmental actions (collectively “Laws”) and shall be responsible for all costs associated therewith.

(F) Adequate Spare Parts. Seller shall at all times keep on hand or have ready access to sufficient spare parts, which shall include, but not be limited to, the critical spare parts shown in Attachment Z (Critical Spare Parts), to maintain the Facility in a manner which provides reasonable assurance, consistent with Good Engineering and Operating Practices, that the performance of the Facility will meet the requirements of this Agreement.

(G) Periodic Meetings. Seller’s General Manager or an alternate satisfactory to Company shall attend periodic meetings with appropriate Company representatives and be prepared to discuss Facility operations and maintenance and interface with the Company System operations. Such meetings may be regularly scheduled or called by Company specifically to address particular problem areas.

(H) Notice of Certain Events. To the extent any of the following events occur and could reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on Seller’s performance under this Agreement, Seller shall provide Company with immediate notice of the occurrence of such event and Seller’s proposed measures to ensure that such event will not lead to an Event of Default or otherwise materially impair Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement:

(1) Payments for Materials or Labor. Seller shall fail to make any payment for materials or labor used in the engineering, design, construction, maintenance or operation of the Facility within ninety (90) Days after the due date thereof, except for payment obligations contested in good faith by Seller or adequately bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Company or contract retentions withheld during Seller’s review of a contractor’s performance.

(2) Financing Documents. The Financing Parties (if any) shall declare an event of default under the Financing Documents.

(3) Governmental Approvals and Land Rights. Seller shall have received any notice that it is not in compliance with any of the Governmental Approvals and/or Land Rights that enable Seller to operate the Facility.

(I) Financial Compliance.

(1) Financial Compliance. Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to Company on a timely basis, as reasonably determined by Company, all information, including but not limited to information that may be obtained in any audit referred to below (the “Financial Compliance Information”), reasonably requested by Company for purposes of permitting Company and its parent company, HEI, to comply with the requirements (initial and on-going) of
(i) the accounting principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidation (“FASB ASC 810”), (ii) Section 404 of the Sarbanes-
39


Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”), (iii) FASB ASC 842 Leases (“FASB ASC 842”), and (iv) all clarifications, interpretations and revisions of and regulations implementing FASB ASC 810, SOX 404, and FASB ASC 842 issued by the FASB, Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, Emerging Issues Task Force or other Governmental Authorities. In addition, if required by Company in order to meet its compliance obligations, Seller shall allow Company or its independent auditor to audit, to the extent reasonably required, Seller’s financial records, including its system of internal controls over financial reporting; provided, however, that Company shall be responsible for all costs associated with the foregoing, including but not limited to Seller’s reasonable internal costs. Company shall limit access to such Financial Compliance Information to persons involved with such compliance matters and restrict persons involved in Company's monitoring, dispatch or scheduling of Seller and/or the Facility, or the administration of this Agreement, from having access to such Financial Compliance Information (unless approved in writing in advance, by Seller).

(2) Confidentiality. Company shall, and shall cause HEI to, maintain the confidentiality of the Financial Compliance Information as provided in this Section 3.2(I) (Financial Compliance). Company may share the Financial Compliance Information on a confidential basis with HEI and the independent auditors and attorneys for HEI and Company. (Company, HEI, and their respective independent auditors and attorneys are collectively referred to in this Section 3.2(I) (Financial Compliance) as “Recipient”.) If either Company, or HEI, in the exercise of their respective reasonable judgments, concludes that consolidation or financial reporting with respect to Seller and/or this Agreement is necessary, Company and HEI each shall have the right to disclose such of the Financial Compliance Information as Company or HEI, as applicable, reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy applicable disclosure and reporting or other requirements and give Seller prompt written notice thereof (in advance to the extent practicable under the circumstances). If Company or HEI disclose Financial Compliance Information pursuant to the preceding sentence, Company and HEI shall, without limitation to the generality of the preceding sentence, have the right to disclose Financial Compliance Information to the PUC and the Division of Consumer Advocacy of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawai‘i (“Consumer Advocate”) in connection with the PUC’s rate making activities for Company and other HEI-affiliated entities, provided that, if the scope or content of the Financial Compliance Information to be disclosed to the PUC exceeds or is more detailed than that disclosed pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Financial Compliance Information will not be disclosed until the PUC first issues a protective order to protect the confidentiality of such Financial Compliance Information. Neither Company nor HEI shall use the Financial Compliance Information for any purpose other than as permitted under this Section 3.2(I) (Financial Compliance).

(3) Required Disclosure. In circumstances other than those addressed in Section 3.2(I)(2) (Confidentiality), if any Recipient becomes legally compelled under applicable law or by legal process (e.g., deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose all or a portion of the Financial Compliance Information, such Recipient shall undertake reasonable efforts to provide Seller with prompt notice of such legal requirement prior to disclosure so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section 3.2(I) (Financial Compliance). If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if Seller waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(I) (Financial Compliance), Recipient
40


shall furnish only that portion of the Financial Compliance Information which it is legally required to so furnish and to use reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any disclosed material.

(4) Exclusions from Confidentiality. The obligation of nondisclosure and restricted use imposed on each Recipient under this Section 3.2(I) (Financial Compliance) shall not extend to any portion(s) of the Financial Compliance Information which (i) was known to such Recipient prior to receipt, or (ii) without the fault of such Recipient is available or becomes available to the general public, or (iii) is received by such Recipient from a third party not bound by an obligation or duty of confidentiality.

(5) Consolidation. Company does not want to be subject to consolidation as set forth in FASB ASC 810, as issued and amended from time to time by FASB.

(a) Consolidation. Company represents that, as of the Execution Date, it is not required to consolidate Seller into its financial statements in accordance with relevant accounting guidance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). If, due to change in applicable Law or accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP or as a result of a material amendment to the Agreement, in each case, after the Execution Date, Company determines, in its sole but nonarbitrary, discretion, that it is required to consolidate Seller into its financial statements in accordance with relevant accounting guidance in accordance with U.S. GAAP, then Seller, upon Company’s written request, shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event longer than fifteen (15) Days) provide audited financial statements (including footnotes) in accordance with U.S. GAAP (and as of the reporting periods Company is required to report thereafter) in order for Company to consolidate and file its financial statements within the reporting deadlines of the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that if Seller does not normally prepare audited financial statements for the periods requested, Company shall reimburse Seller fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable costs of having necessary audits performed and preparation of the audited financial statement; provided, further that the foregoing reimbursement shall only apply if Seller normally prepares financial statements on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing requirement that Seller provide audited financial statements to Company, the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, which may include modification of this Agreement, to eliminate the consolidation treatment, while preserving the economic "benefit of the bargain" to both Parties.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) [Reserved]

(d) [Reserved]

(e) Purchase Option. Without limitation to the obligation of the Parties to take commercially reasonable steps to eliminate such consolidation treatment or lease treatment as provided in Section 3.2(I)(5) (Consolidation), Seller shall, if requested by Company, take commercially reasonable steps to effectuate a sale of the Facility to Company as provided in Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller).
41


(J) Amendment of Seller’s Partnership Agreement. Seller covenants and agrees hereby that none of the following provisions of its Partnership Agreement shall be amended, modified, waived or excused without the express written consent of Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld: Sections 1(a)-(g), (i), (k); 2(a)-(c), (f), (j)(ii); 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 9; 10; 11; 12(b), (c), (e), (g) and (h).

(K) Trust Account. Seller shall establish, through appropriate provisions in its contracts with GE, in any Financing Documents, and in any additional agreements required to effectuate such arrangement, a trust account or similar arrangement which assures that payments to Seller by Company under this Agreement will first be employed to meet Seller’s obligations to the Financing Parties, if any, and to GE under the O&M Agreement.

(L) Qualifying Facility Status. Seller shall at all times use its best efforts to maintain the Facility as a QF. If a steam host is no longer available to Seller, then the Parties shall meet and discuss the loss of the steam host. Seller shall provide Company a copy of (i) any certification or recertification filed by Seller pursuant to 18 CFR Part 292 demonstrating that the Facility is a QF, and (ii) any notice received from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pertaining to Seller’s QF status or compliance with PURPA. Seller shall further inform Company in writing of Seller’s plans (if any) for maintaining its QF status, including the timing of any possible filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a waiver of operating and efficiency requirements pursuant to 18 CFR Part 292 (together with the basis for requesting any such waiver). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any change in the QF status of the Facility under PURPA, 18 CFR Part 292, or Title 6, Chapter 74 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules after the Effective Date, shall not affect either Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

3.3 Rights and Obligations of Company.

(A) Dispatch of Facility Power.

(1) Routine Dispatch.

(a) Company shall have the right to dispatch capacity and real and reactive power delivered from the Facility to the Company System and to start up and shut down Seller’s generating units, subject only to and consistent with Good Engineering and Operating Practices, the requirements set forth in Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller), including the cycling limitations provided in Section 3.t.i (Cycling of Generating Units), and Seller’s maintenance schedule determined in accordance with Section 8 (Schedule of Outages) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility).

(b) Company Dispatch will either be by Seller’s manual control under the direction of the Company System Operator or by computerized control by the EMS as provided in Section 2.a (Seller’s Centralized Control System) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), in each case at Company’s reasonable discretion. Unless otherwise agreed to, Company may request the maximum real power output from the Facility with the Facility operating with volt-amp output up to the generator capability curves attached as Exhibit B-1 to this Agreement. The Dispatch Range under remote control shall be between the Minimum Load Capability specified in Section 3.k (Minimum Load Capability) of Attachment B
42


(Facility Owned by Seller) and the Contract Firm Capacity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the power produced by the Facility shall always be subject to remote or manual dispatch by Company.

(c) Refusal or inability of Seller to comply with Company Dispatch shall result in an EAF and EFOR derating. The size of the derating shall be determined by subtracting the kWs delivered by the Facility from the Contract Firm Capacity, from the time such dispatch request was received until such time as Seller demonstrates the Contract Firm Capacity as requested by Company. Seller shall utilize the full capability of the Facility to satisfy its obligation to deliver Contract Firm Capacity in accordance with Company Dispatch by taking necessary actions to do so, subject to Good Engineering and Operating Practices.

(2) Demonstration of Loading and Unloading Ramp Rates. Company shall have the right at any time, other than during start-up periods, maintenance or other outages, upon reasonable notice with “Cause,” to direct the Facility to demonstrate its ability to meet the maximum ramp rate specified in Section 3.d (Ramp Rates) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller). For purposes of this Section 3.3(A)(2) (Demonstration of Loading and Unloading Ramp Rates), “Cause” shall mean the failure of the Facility to meet the required loading or unloading ramp rates specified in accordance with Company Dispatch by the Company System Operator.
A one (1) hour notice will be given to Seller prior to the initial ramp rate test, which shall be performed by the Company System Operator testing the Facility by increasing or decreasing load at the maximum ramp rate. If the Facility passes the initial ramp rate test, subsequent ramp tests may be conducted by Company from that time to the end of the next weekend upon notice by telephone no less than five (5) minutes prior to commencement of each such test. If the Facility is unable to achieve either the loading (increasing) ramp rate or the unloading (decreasing) ramp rate, this event shall be considered a ramp derating in the amount of the difference between the Facility’s load at the conclusion of the test and the load the Facility should have achieved in accordance with the maximum ramp rate. This ramp derating will be assumed to start at the end of the test and will end at the earlier of (i) when the Facility demonstrates that the maximum loading and/or unloading ramp rate has been restored or (ii) when Seller declares to Company that the Facility is ready to be tested again (if the Facility subsequently passes such test); provided that, if Seller takes an outage during such ramp derating period, no ramp derating penalty shall apply against Seller for such outage period. The ramp derating period shall not count for purposes of calculating EAF or EFOR until Seller declares an outage pursuant to this Section 3.3(A)(2) (Demonstration of Loading and Unloading Ramp Rates), in which event, such outage shall count against EAF and EFOR, as applicable, starting from the time Seller declares such outage.

(3) Dispatch Forecast. Company shall provide Seller with a forecast of the following: (i) the annual dispatch which shows the amount of capacity and energy Company expects the Facility to produce on a monthly basis for the following calendar year, no later than sixty (60) Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date for the first Contract Year, and prior to September 1 for each Contract Year thereafter; and (ii) the “Weekly Unit Commitment Schedule” no later than Friday, 12:00 noon HST of each week which indicates the general expected daily use. Company’s failure to comply with the foregoing forecast provisions shall not affect Company’s right to dispatch the Facility pursuant to this Section 3.3(A) (Dispatch of Facility Power).

(B) [Reserved]

(C) [Reserved]

(D) Company Right to Require Independent Engineering Assessment.

(1) Implementation of Independent Engineering Assessment.

(a) If (i) Seller is failing to operate the Facility in accordance with Section 2.1(E) (Requirements for Electric Energy Supplied by Seller), Section 3.2(A)(5) (Facility Protection and Control Equipment), Section 1 (Standards) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), Section 2 (Trip Setting) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), Section 4 (Protective Equipment) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), and Section 5 (Personnel and System Safety) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), or is otherwise failing to comply with Good Engineering and Operating Practices, and fails to remedy such failure within ninety (90) Days of written notice thereof from Company, or fails to comply with Section 10.4(B) (Correction of Certain Conditions), and Company reasonably believes that such failure is likely to result in a failure to meet the performance standards set forth in Section 3 (Performance Standards) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller); (ii) Seller is in breach of this Agreement with respect to the performance or operation of the Facility and has not cured such breach within the time limits specified in Article 8 (Default); or (iii) otherwise required by Section 8.2(C) (Right to Demand Independent Engineering Assessment and Modification), Company may require that the practices in question be assessed by a qualified professional engineering firm to be chosen from Attachment D (Consultants List – Qualified Independent Engineering Companies) and revised from time to time under Section 3.3(D)(2) (Qualified Independent Engineering Companies).

(b) The Parties shall promptly undertake to agree on a firm to be used from the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List; provided, however, that if such agreement is not reached within seven (7) Days after Company gives notice to Seller that it is invoking its rights under this Section 3.3(D) (Company Right to Require Independent Engineering Assessment), the firm shall be chosen from the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List by Company.

(c) The Qualified Independent Engineering Company selected shall make an Independent Engineering Assessment as to whether the practices in question conform to Good Engineering and Operating Practices as promptly as possible under the circumstances. If such determination is that the practices in question do not so conform, the engineering firm shall recommend necessary actions by Seller to bring it within Good Engineering and Operating Practices (the “Recommendations”). If the Recommendations require action by Seller to change its practices, Seller shall take such actions. Where the Recommendations require action by Seller, the engineering firm shall determine, after reasonable consultation with Seller within thirty (30) Days (or such longer period as deemed appropriate by such engineering firm) after its Recommendations are first made, whether Seller has taken adequate action to carry out such Recommendations. If the engineering firm then certifies that Seller has failed to take adequate action, Company shall notify Seller and the Financing Parties in writing of such certification and the basis therefor. Such notice shall state in bold letters that failure to commence implementation of the Recommendations on or before the date that is thirty (30) Days from the
44


date of such notice (the “Implementation Date”) may lead to termination of this Agreement. If neither Seller nor the Financing Parties has begun to implement the Recommendations on or before the Implementation Date, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(A)(5). If either Seller or any Financing Party begins to implement the Recommendations on or before the Implementation Date, the engineering firm shall monitor whether the implementation thereof is being diligently pursued. If, after reasonable consultation with the parties involved in such implementation, the engineering firm determines that such implementation is not being diligently pursued, it shall promptly so certify to Company.
Company shall thereupon promptly notify Seller and the Financing Parties in writing of such certification, the basis therefor and the remedial steps that must be taken to cure (the “Second Notice”). Such Second Notice shall state in bold letters that failure to implement the remedial steps identified in the Second Notice (the “Remedial Steps”) on or before the date that is thirty
(30) Days from the date of the Second Notice may lead to termination of this Agreement. If at any time after the date that is thirty (30) Days from the date of the Second Notice, the engineering firm again certifies to Company that implementation of Recommendation is not being diligently pursued and/or the Remedial Steps are not being implemented, such certification shall constitute an Event of Default by Seller under Section 8.1(A)(5). Seller shall bear all costs of the engineering firm’s services unless the Independent Engineering Assessment determined that the practices in question were in accordance with Good Engineering and Operating Practices, in which case Company shall bear all costs of the Independent Engineering Assessment.

(2) Qualified Independent Engineering Companies. The Qualified Independent Engineers’ List attached hereto as Attachment D (Consultants List – Qualified Independent Engineering Companies) contains the names of engineering firms which both Parties agree are fully qualified to perform the Independent Engineering Assessment under Section 3.3(D)(1) (Implementation of Independent Engineering Assessment). At any time, except when an Independent Engineering Assessment is being made under Section 3.3(D)(1) (Implementation of Independent Engineering Assessment), either Party may remove a particular company from the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List by giving written notice of such removal to the other Party. However, neither Party may remove a company or companies from the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List without approval of the other Party if such removal would leave the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List without any names. Intended deletions shall be effective upon receipt of notice by the other Party, provided that such deletions do not leave the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List without any names. Proposed additions to the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List shall automatically become effective thirty (30) Days after notice is received by the other Party unless written objection is made by such other Party within said thirty (30) Days. By mutual agreement between the Parties, a new company or companies may be added to the Qualified Independent Engineers’ List at any time.

ARTICLE 4
SUSPENSION OR REDUCTION OF DELIVERIES

4.1 Initiation by Company. This section shall apply to suspensions or reductions of electric energy deliveries from the Facility directly resulting from instructions or remote control actions by the Company System Operator. This section does not apply to changes in electric energy output of the Facility within the normal Dispatch Range. This section does not apply to suspensions and/or reductions of energy output from the Facility initiated by Facility personnel and/or equipment in response to conditions on the Company System, such as by the action of protective equipment or governor droop response to Company System frequency.

(A) Safety of Persons and/or Property. If the Company System Operator determines that an adverse condition exists that is likely to endanger the safety of persons and/or property, and/or endanger the integrity of the Company System or have an adverse effect on Company customer’s electric service, the Company System Operator may remotely separate the Facility from the Company System by tripping the Facility’s synchronizing breakers via the EMS without prior notice. If Company disconnects the Facility from the Company System, it shall immediately notify Seller by telephone or hotline and thereafter confirm in writing the reasons for the disconnection.

(B) Reclosing. If the Facility is separated from the Company System for any reason, under no circumstances shall Seller reclose into the Company System without first obtaining specific approval to do so from the Company System Operator which approval shall be granted promptly upon the removal of the adverse condition stated above.

(C) Duration of Disconnection. The Facility shall remain disconnected until such time that the adverse condition has been corrected.

(D) Facility Problems. If the operation of the Facility is causing or substantially contributing to an adverse condition due to the failure to meet any of the requirements of this Agreement, Seller shall, at its own cost, modify its electric equipment or operations to the extent necessary to promptly resume full deliveries of electric energy at the quality of electric service required. To the extent necessary to the Facility’s prompt resumption of full deliveries of electric energy at the quality of electric service required, Company will provide such reasonable assistance requested by Seller, provided that Seller reimburses Company for all costs and expenses incurred by Company in providing such assistance.

4.2 No Obligation to Accept Energy.

(A) General. During periods in which Seller has reduced or suspended deliveries of electric energy as requested or required by Company under Section 4.1(A) (Safety of Persons and/or Property), Company shall have no obligation to accept any electric energy which might otherwise have been received from the Facility during such period, and Company shall have no obligation to pay for electric energy which otherwise would have been available or received from the Facility during such period, and, except as provided in Section 4.2(B) (Review by Seller), the Facility shall be considered unavailable during such period for purposes of calculating Seller’s EAF, EFOR and Unit Trips.
46


(B) Review by Seller. The claim of occurrence of any of the adverse conditions described above in Section 4.1(A) (Safety of Persons and/or Property) or Section 4.1(D) (Facility Problems) shall be subject to verification by Seller. If it is determined that Company did have a valid reason for disconnecting the Facility, Company shall have no obligation to accept any electric energy which otherwise would have been received from the Facility during such period, and Company shall have no obligation to pay for electric energy which otherwise would have been available or received from the Facility during such period, however, the duration of the period of separation will not be counted against EAF or EFOR or for the purpose of calculating any other performance standard.

4.3 Initiation by Seller. If Seller suspends, or can reasonably anticipate the need to suspend or substantially reduce, deliveries of electric energy below the level called for by Company Dispatch pursuant to Section 3.3(A) (Dispatch of Facility Power) for any reason other than a request by Company pursuant to Section 4.1 (Initiation by Company), it shall provide immediate oral notice and subsequent written notice to Company as soon as practicable, containing a reasonably detailed statement of the reasons for such suspension or reduction and the likely duration thereof. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restore full deliveries of electric energy as soon as practicable.

ARTICLE 6
BILLING AND PAYMENT

6.1 Monthly Invoice. As soon as practicable, but not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of each calendar month, Company shall provide Seller or its designated agent with the appropriate data for Seller to compute the payment due for capacity provided and electric energy delivered to Company in the preceding calendar month as determined in accordance with this Agreement. Seller shall compute the Energy Charge and the Capacity Charge for the same calendar month and promptly thereafter, but not later than the tenth (10th) Business Day of each calendar month, submit an invoice (“Monthly Invoice”) for the Capacity Charge, Energy Charge and monthly metering charge (as set forth in Section 6.2(C) (Seller Payments)) to be paid to Seller for the preceding calendar month. Each Monthly Invoice shall include Seller's backup data for the computation of the Capacity Charge and the Energy Charge. Unless and until Company designates a different address, the Monthly Invoice shall be delivered to:

Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.
P.O. Box 2750
Honolulu, Hawai'i 96740-2750
Attention: Energy Contract Manager

6.2 Payment.

(A) Date Payment Due. No later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day of each calendar month following the month during which the invoice was submitted (i.e., by the twentieth (20th) Business Day of the second calendar month following the calendar month covered by the invoice in question), (but, except as otherwise provided in the following sentence, no later than the last Business Day of that month if there are less than twenty (20) Business Days in that month), Company shall, subject to Company’s right to set-off liquidated damages as provided in Article 16 (Set Off) of this Agreement, make payment on such invoice, or provide to Seller an itemized statement of its objections to all or any portion of such invoice and pay undisputed amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Day by which the Company shall make payment to Seller hereunder shall be increased by one (1) Day for each Day that Seller is delinquent in providing to Company the information required under Section 6.1 (Monthly Invoice) of this Agreement. However, if Company is not timely in providing data required in Section 6.1 (Monthly Invoice) and this directly causes Seller to be unable to deliver its invoice in accordance with the time frame set forth in Section 6.1 (Monthly Invoice), then Company shall still meet the payment date of the twentieth (20th) Business Day of the month following the month during which the invoice was submitted. If Seller is unable to provide a complete invoice for the reasons set forth in the preceding sentence, an estimated payment, subject to reconciliation with the complete invoice, may be made by Company as an interim provision until a complete invoice can be prepared by Seller and received by Company.

(B) Notwithstanding all or any portion of such invoice in dispute, simple interest shall accrue on any invoiced amount that remains unpaid following the twentieth (20th) Business Day of each calendar month (or the last Business Day of that month if there are less than twenty
(20) Business Days in that month), or following the due date for such payment if extended
50


pursuant Section 6.2(A) (Date Payment Due), at the average daily Prime Rate for the period commencing on the Day following the Day such payment is due such until the invoiced amounts (or amounts due to Seller if determined to be less than the invoiced amounts) are paid in full.
Partial payments shall be applied first to outstanding interest and then to outstanding invoice amounts.

(C) Seller Payments. Seller shall pay to Company (i) all amounts pursuant to Attachment G (Company-Owned Interconnection Facilities), (ii) all amounts pursuant to Section
13.a (Meters) and Section 13.b (Meter Testing) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), (iii) a monthly metering charge of $25.00 per month, which is in addition to any charges due Company for sales of electric energy by Company to Seller pursuant to the applicable rate schedule; and (iv) such other costs to be incurred by Company and reimbursed by Seller as set forth in this Agreement.

6.3 Billing Disputes. Either Party may dispute invoiced amounts, but shall pay to the other Party at least the undisputed portion of invoiced amounts on or before the invoice due date. To resolve any billing dispute, the Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article 17 (Dispute Resolution). When the billing dispute is resolved, the Party owing shall pay the amount owed within five (5) Business Days of the date of such resolution, with simple interest from the date that such disputed amount was payable until the date that the amount owed is paid at the average daily Prime Rate for the period.

6.4 Adjustments.

(A) Adjustments Due to Inaccuracies. In the event adjustments are required to correct inaccuracies in Monthly Invoices after payment, the Party requesting adjustment shall recompute and include in the Party’s request the principal amounts due during the period of the inaccuracy together with the amount of interest from the date that such Monthly Invoice was payable until the date that such recomputed amount is paid at the average daily Prime Rate for the period. The difference between the amount paid and that recomputed for the invoice, along with the allowable amount of interest, shall either be (i) paid to Seller or set-off by Company, as appropriate, in the next invoice payment to Seller, or (ii) objected to by the Party responsible for such payment within thirty (30) Days following its receipt of such request. If the Party responsible for such payment objects to the request, then the Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve the objection. If the Parties are unable to resolve the objection, the matter shall, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 17.3 (Exclusion), be resolved pursuant to Article 17 (Dispute Resolution). All claims for adjustments shall be waived for any amounts that were paid or should have been payable more than thirty-six (36) months preceding the date of any such request.

(B) Adjustments Related to Escalation Indices. If applicable, adjustments to correct Monthly Invoices resulting from escalation indices not being published at the time such Monthly Invoices were prepared shall be paid or refunded without interest. The escalation indices initially published by the appropriate Governmental Authority for the period covered by the invoice shall be the indices applied.

ARTICLE 7
CREDIT ASSURANCE AND SECURITY

7.1 General. Seller is required to post and maintain Operating Period Security based on the requirements of this Article 7 (Credit Assurance and Security).

7.2 [Reserved]

7.3 [Reserved]

7.4 Operating Period Security. To guarantee the performance of Seller’s obligations under the Agreement for the period starting from the Execution Date to the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall provide satisfactory operating period security to Company in the amount equal to $100/kW based on the Contract Firm Capacity (the “Operating Period Security”). Seller shall provide such Operating Period Security to Company on or before the Execution Date.

7.5 Form of Security. Seller shall supply the Operating Period Security required in the form of an irrevocable standby letter of credit with no documentation requirement substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Attachment M (Form of Standby Letter of Credit) from a bank chartered in the United States with a credit rating of “A-” or better from Standard & Poor’s or A3 or better from Moody’s (the “Letter of Credit”). If the credit rating of the bank issuing such Letter of Credit falls below A- or A3 (as applicable), Company may require Seller to replace, within thirty (30) Days’ notice by Company, such Letter of Credit with an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit from another bank meeting the requirements stated above. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued for a minimum term of one (1) year. Furthermore, at the end of each year, the security shall be renewed for an additional one (1) year term so that at the time of such renewal, the remaining term of any such security shall not be less than one (1) year. The Letter of Credit satisfying this security requirement shall include a provision for at least thirty (30) Days advance notice to Company and Seller of any expiration or earlier termination of the Letter of Credit so as to allow Company sufficient time to exercise its rights under said security if Seller fails to extend or replace the security. In all cases, the reasonable costs and expenses of establishing, renewing, substituting, canceling, increasing, reducing, or otherwise administering the Letter of Credit shall be borne by Seller.

7.6 Security Funds. The Operating Period Security, including L/C Proceeds therefrom (collectively referred to as the “Security Funds”) established, funded, and maintained by Seller pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 (Credit Assurance and Security) shall provide security for the performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be available to be drawn on by Company as provided in Section 7.7 (Company's Right to Draw From Security Funds). Seller shall maintain the Security Funds at the contractually-required level throughout the Term of this Agreement, and Seller shall replenish the Security Funds to such required level within fifteen (15) Business Days after any draw on the Security Funds by Company or any reduction in the value of Security Funds below the required level for any other reason.

7.7 Company’s Right to Draw From Security Funds. In addition to any other remedy available to it, Company may, before or after termination of this Agreement, draw from the
52


Security Funds such amounts as are necessary to recover amounts Company is owed pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any amounts for which Company is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Company may, in its sole discretion, draw all or any part of such amounts due Company from any Security Funds to the extent available pursuant to this Article 7 (Credit Assurance and Security), and from all such forms, and in any sequence Company may select. Any failure to draw upon the Security Funds or other security for any damages or other amounts due Company shall not prejudice Company’s rights to recover such damages or amounts in any other manner.

7.8 Failure to Renew or Extend Letter of Credit. If the Letter of Credit is not renewed or extended at least thirty (30) Days prior to its expiration or earlier termination, Company shall have the right to draw immediately upon the full amount of the Letter of Credit and to place the proceeds of such draw (the "L/C Proceeds"), at Seller's cost, in an escrow account in accordance with Section 7.9 (L/C Proceeds Escrow), until and unless Seller provides a substitute form of irrevocable standby Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Article 7 (Credit Assurance and Security).

7.9 L/C Proceeds Escrow. If Company draws on the letter of credit pursuant to Section 7.8 (Failure to Renew or Extend Letter of Credit), and so long as a substitute letter of credit meeting the requirements of this Article 7 (Credit Assurance and Security) is not obtained and provided to Company, Company shall, in order to avoid comingling the L/C Proceeds, have the right but not the obligation to place the L/C Proceeds in an escrow account as provided in this Section 7.9 (L/C Proceeds Escrow) with a reputable escrow agent acceptable to Company ("Escrow Agent"). Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, a federally-insured bank shall be deemed to be a "reputable escrow agent." Company shall have the right to apply the L/C Proceeds as necessary to recover amounts Company is owed pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any damages due Company, and any amounts for which Company is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. To that end, the documentation governing such escrow account shall be in form and content satisfactory to Company and shall give Company the sole authority to draw from the escrow account. Seller shall not be a party to such documentation and shall have no rights to the L/C Proceeds. Upon full satisfaction of Seller's obligations under this Agreement, including recovery by Company of amounts owed to it under this Agreement, Company shall instruct the Escrow Agent to remit to the bank that issued the letter of credit that was the source of the L/C Proceeds the remaining balance (if any) of the L/C Proceeds. If there is more than one escrow account with L/C Proceeds, Company may, in its sole discretion, draw on such accounts in any sequence Company may select. Any failure to draw upon the L/C Proceeds for any damages or other amounts due Company shall not prejudice Company's rights to recover such damages or amounts in any other manner. If a substitute letter of credit satisfying the requirements of this Article 7 (Credit Assurance and Security) is obtained and provided to Company, the net L/C Proceeds remaining as of the date that such substitute letter of credit is provided, shall be returned to Seller, or as Seller directs in writing. In all cases, the reasonable costs and expenses of establishing, renewing, substituting, canceling, increasing reducing, or otherwise administering the Security Funds through the L/C Proceeds Escrow shall be borne by Seller.

7.10 Release of Security Funds. Promptly following the end of the Term and the complete performance of all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the
53


obligation to pay any and all damages owed by Seller to Company, under this Agreement, Company shall release the Security Funds to Seller.

equivalent by Seller or PSEG Kalaeloa Inc. under the Financing Documents; provided, however, that upon compliance by the Financing Parties with Section 20.4(A), the event described in this Section 8.1(A)(16) shall no longer be deemed an Event of Default;

(17) Seller fails to comply with a decision under Article 17 (Dispute Resolution) within thirty (30) Days after such decision becomes binding on the Parties in accordance with Article 17 (Dispute Resolution), or, if such decision cannot be complied with within thirty (30) Days, Seller fails to have commenced commercially reasonable efforts designed to achieve compliance within such thirty (30) Days and diligently continue such commercially reasonable efforts until compliance is attained;

(B) Company's Assumption of Seller's Interest. If an Event of Default by Seller occurs, and if Company delivers to Seller the notice required under Section 8.2(A) (Exercise of Termination Right) stating that Company has elected to exercise its rights hereunder, Company shall promptly assume all right, title and interest of Seller in the Facility and the Interconnection Facilities, this Agreement, the Project Documents and the Financing Documents (if any) to the extent it is legally capable of doing so, to take over the operation of the Facility and the Interconnection Facilities forthwith and to operate the Facility and the Interconnection Facilities during the period in which the foregoing assumption is being perfected, and to operate the same, provided that Company also assumes all of Seller's obligations (except any default charges or similar penalties) under the Financing Documents (if any) and the Project Documents (other than this Agreement); provided that, Company shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the fair market value of the Facility, as determined by the average of three independent appraisals, less the sum of (1) all amounts (including but not limited to, principal, accrued interest and penalties) due or
59


outstanding under the Financing Documents or any other obligation secured by the Facility or any part thereof, plus (2) all amounts currently owed by Seller to Company, plus (3) all amounts currently due or outstanding under contracts or other obligations being assumed by Company under this Section 8.2(B) (Company’s Assumption of Seller’s Interest) plus (4) THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS ($30,000,000). The fair market value to be determined shall be the price that a buyer (other than Company) who is not under a compulsion to buy would be willing to pay for the Facility; provided, however, that, consistent with Amendment No. 5 and the calculations set forth in that certain letter between Seller and Company dated June 30, 2004, such fair market value shall not include the capital investments at the Facility to allow the Facility to meet its intended design capability, which investments include modifications to the exhaust gas diffuser, added heat exchange surface, boiler wash capability (including associated water treatment system) and combustion turbine evaporative cooling.

(C) Right to Demand Independent Engineering Assessment and Modification.

(1) Notice of Default. If an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(A)(7) or Section 8.1(A)(8) occurs, Company shall, prior to exercising its rights under Section 8.2(A) (Exercise of Termination Right) on the basis thereof, give written notice to Seller that it will obtain an Independent Engineering Assessment concerning the failure to meet the specified warranted levels. Within thirty (30) Days after receipt by Seller of such notice, a president, vice president, or other authorized delegate of Company and Seller, both having full authority to settle the matter, shall personally meet in Hawai‘i and attempt in good faith to make the determination described in Section 8.2(C)(2) (Changes Based on Independent Engineering Assessment). If these officials reach agreement on a determination, the provisions of Section 8.2(C)(3) (Determination That There Are No Commercially Reasonable Changes) and Section 8.2(C)(4) (Determination That There Are Commercially Reasonable Changes) shall apply thereto. If no meeting takes place within thirty (30) Days of Seller’s receipt of the aforesaid written notice, or if agreement between these officials is not reached within forty-five (45) Days of Seller’s receipt of such notice, Company may at any time thereafter require that an Independent Engineering Assessment be conducted in accordance with Section 3.3(D) (Company Right to Require Independent Engineering Assessment) except that in every instance all costs and expenses of such Independent Engineering Assessment shall be borne by Seller.

(2) Changes Based on Independent Engineering Assessment. The representatives of the Parties or the Qualified Independent Engineering Company based on the Independent Engineering Assessment, as applicable, shall determine whether there are commercially reasonable changes in the Facility, or in the manner in which Seller operates the Facility, which (i) could be implemented within one hundred and eighty (180) Days (or such other time period which Company and Seller mutually agree upon) after such findings are made by the Parties or the Qualified Independent Engineering Company, as the case may be, and
(ii) could reasonably be expected to result in future operation of the Facility in each Contract Year at the following levels:

(a) An EAF greater than eighty percent (80%) computed in accordance with Section 3.2(B)(1) (Equivalent Availability Factor);
60


(b) An EFOR less than eleven percent (11%) computed in accordance with Section 3.2(B)(2) (Equivalent Forced Outage Rate);

(c) Less than seventeen (17) Unit Trips in any Contract Year.

(3) Determination That There Are No Commercially Reasonable Changes. If the representatives of the Parties or the Qualified Independent Engineering Company based on the Independent Engineering Assessment, as applicable, determine that there are no commercially reasonable changes meeting the requirements of Section 8.2(C)(2) (Changes Based on Independent Engineering Assessment), Company may thereafter declare an Event of Default on the basis of the failure described in Section 8.1(A)(7) or Section 8.1(A)(8) which preceded Company’s request for an Independent Engineering Assessment.

(4) Determination That There Are Commercially Reasonable Changes. If the representatives of the Parties or the Qualified Independent Engineering Company based on the Independent Engineering Assessment, as applicable, determine that there are commercially reasonable changes meeting the requirements of Section 8.2(C)(2) (Changes Based on Independent Engineering Assessment) above, Company may not declare an Event of Default on the basis of the failure described in Section 8.1(A)(7) or Section 8.1(A)(8) which preceded Company’s request for an Independent Engineering Assessment unless Seller either (i) fails to diligently carry out such recommended changes as determined in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 3.3(D) (Company Right to Require Independent Engineering Assessment) or (ii) implements such changes but the Facility nevertheless does not meet either of the following performance standards in the first full Contract Year after such changes are implemented

(a) An EFOR of ten percent (10%) or less computed in accordance with Section 3.2(B)(2) (Equivalent Forced Outage Rate);

(b) Fifteen (15) Units Trips or less;

If a condition described in Section 8.2(C)(4)(i) or Section 8.2(C)(4)(ii) exists, Company may declare the failure described in Section 8.1(A)(7) or Section 8.1(A)(8) which preceded Company’s request for an engineering assessment to be an Event of Default.

(D) Sale to Other Entities. Solely upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Company under Section 8.2(B)(1), Seller shall have the right to sell any or all of the Net Electric Energy Output of the Facility to entities other than Company.

(E) Waiver of PURPA Rights.

(1) In the event Company exercises its termination rights under Section 8.2(A) (Exercise of Termination Right) and it is determined in accordance with Section 8.2(E)(2) that the Event of Default resulting in termination was intentionally caused by Seller, Seller agrees: (a) that it will waive and covenant not to exercise any rights that it might have under PURPA or the Hawaii Administrative Rules to require Company to purchase power from the Facility or any generating unit associated therewith or located on the Site at any time prior to the date on which the Term of this Agreement would have expired if the Agreement had not been
61


terminated (such rights referred to herein as “PURPA Rights”); (b) that it shall not suffer or permit any Controlled Person which has or may acquire any ownership interest or other right in the Facility, the Site or any part of them to exercise PURPA Rights at any time prior to the date on which the Term of this Agreement would have expired if the Agreement had not been terminated; and (c) that it shall not convey or assign, directly or indirectly, any ownership interest or other right in the Facility, the Site or any part of them to any Affiliated Person, nor suffer or permit any Controlled Person to convey or assign, directly or indirectly, any such ownership interest or other right to any Affiliated Person, without obtaining from such Affiliated Person and delivering to Company a binding and legally enforceable written waiver of and agreement not to exercise any PURPA Rights at any time prior to the date on which the Term of this Agreement would have expired if the Agreement had not been terminated. For purposes of this Section 8.2(E) (Waiver of PURPA Rights), “Controlled Person” shall mean any person whose actions in respect to PURPA Rights Seller has the right or ability to control, directly or indirectly, by virtue of stock ownership, voting interest, contractual, employment or fiduciary relationship or otherwise and “Affiliated Person” shall mean (i) any corporation, partnership or other entity owned, in whole or in part, by Seller, (ii) any person or entity having any ownership interest, directly or indirectly, in Seller, (iii) any director, officer, partner or employee of Seller or of any corporation, partnership, entity or person specified in clause (i) or (ii) above, or (iv) any individual person who is related by blood or marriage to any of the foregoing. This Section 8.2(E) (Waiver of PURPA Rights) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(2) Within seven (7) days following receipt by Seller of a written notice of termination of this Agreement by Company pursuant to Section 8.2(A) (Exercise of Termination Right), Seller shall submit a written notice to Company stating whether Seller claims that the waivers of rights described in Section 8.2(E)(1) are not effective. If Seller asserts that the waivers are not effective, Seller shall within thirty (30) Days submit to Company its proof as to the cause of the Event of Default required by Section 8.2(E)(1). Within seven (7) Days following receipt of the aforesaid notice and proof from Seller, Company shall respond in writing, stating whether it accepts the proof provided by Seller. If Company does not accept such proof, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 17 (Dispute Resolution) and in any such proceeding, Seller shall have the burden of persuasion as to its intent. However, in no event shall Seller assert any of its PURPA Rights described in Section 8.2(E)(1) unless and until such dispute is finally resolved in Seller’s favor under Article 17 (Dispute Resolution). If KALAELOA fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.2(E)(2) within seven (7) Days of the time required herein, then the Event of Default resulting in termination shall be deemed to have been intentionally caused by Seller.

(F) Forward Contract. Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 (Rights and Obligations of the Parties Upon Default), the Parties agree that, under 11 U.S.C. § 362(b)(6), this Agreement is a "forward contract" and the Company is a "forward contract merchant" such that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Seller under Section 8.1(A) (Events of Default by Seller), this Agreement may be terminated by Company as provided in this Agreement notwithstanding any bankruptcy petition affecting Seller.

8.3 Equitable Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by either Party, the non-Defaulting Party, in addition to the rights described in the specific sections of this
62


Agreement, may, subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.2(A) (Equivalent Availability Factor) and Article XIV (Consequential Damages), exercise, at its election, any rights and claim and obtain any remedies it may have at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, compensation for monetary damages, injunctive relief and specific performance; provided, however, that if Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(A) (Exercise of Termination Right), Company shall not be entitled to any equitable or legal remedies as a result of the Event of Default causing such termination, and in such event, Company’s exclusive remedy and Seller’s sole liability for such Event of Default shall be as set forth in Section 8.2(B) (Company’s Assumption of Seller’s Interest), if Seller (i) delivers the Facility to Company in proper working order in accordance with then current electric utility industry standards for such a facility or promptly pays any additional reasonable costs of putting the Facility in such proper working order, and (ii) in the event that such termination arose from an Event of Default under Section 8.1(A)(5), (7) or (8), Seller demonstrates that such default was not the result of an intentional neglect or action of Seller.

ARTICLE 9
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

9.1 Liquidated Damages. Recognizing that Company must provide the ultimate service to its customers and that the capacity and energy produced by the Facility is needed to meet the requirements of Company’s customers, and in order to avoid the difficulties of proof in connection with the damages Company would incur in the event of a failure of the Facility to meet the performance standards herein, the Parties agree that the following Liquidated Damages for failure by Seller to attain required performance (i) constitute a reasonable and good faith estimate of the anticipated or actual loss or damage which would be incurred by Company as a result of such failure, (ii) are not intended as a penalty, (iii) may be invoked by Company to ensure that the Facility meets the performance standards established under this Agreement and
(iv) constitute Company’s sole and exclusive monetary remedy with respect to the matters set forth in Section 9.2 (Calculation and Payment of Liquidated Damages), provided, however, that the Company’s invoking Liquidated Damages shall not limit or otherwise affect Company’s right to seek (aa) monetary damages when Liquidated Damages are not applicable under the terms of this Agreement and when Company has not terminated this Agreement (or damages with respect to losses arising independent of a termination of this Agreement), and (bb) specific performance or injunctive relief when monetary damages will not provide adequate relief.

Operator through such media as the “hot line” between the Facility’s control room and that of Company System Operator, (b) clearly and specifically state that there is likely to be an Unplanned Removal From Service of the two combustion turbines at the Facility, and (c) be acknowledged by Company’s Load Dispatcher as conveying the message that there is likely to be an Unplanned Removal From Services of the two combustion turbines at the Facility. If Seller provides notice which satisfies the requirements set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 9.2(J)(3), the number of minutes that elapse between the receipt of such notice by Company System Operator and the actual Unplanned Removal From Service of the Facility’s first combustion turbine (the “Grace Period”) shall, for purposes of determining whether the event in question is to be classified as a Full Plant Trip (Category I) or Full Plant Trip (Category II) for purposes of assessing the liquidated damages set forth in Section 9.2(J)(1) or Section 9.2(J)(2), be added to the number of minutes that actually elapsed between the Unplanned Removal From Service of the first combustion turbine and the Unplanned Removal From Service of the second combustion turbine.

(4) If three (3) or more Full Plant Trip (Category I) events occur during any twelve (12) month period (regardless of whether or not, by virtue of the Grace Period provided under Section 9.2(J)(3), such events were treated as Full Plant Trip (Category I) events for purposes of assessing liquidated damages), the occurrence of the third Full Plant Trip (Category I) event within such twelve (12) month period shall result in a twenty-five percent (25%) deduction from the amount payable as Capacity Charge for the period commencing with the date of such third Full Plant Trip (Category I) event until such time as Seller has adequately addressed, to Company’s satisfaction in Company’s sole but non-arbitrary discretion, the circumstances giving rise to the Full Plant Trip problem, as evidenced by Company’s written notice to Seller to that effect. If Seller is not satisfied with the exercise of Company’s sole discretion in determining whether Seller has adequately addressed such circumstances or Company is not prompt in responding to Seller, Seller may, at its own expense, submit the issue of whether or not Seller has addressed the circumstances giving rise to the Full Plant Trip problem to a Qualified Independent Engineering Company from the Qualified Independent Engineer’s List maintained pursuant to Section 3.3(D)(2) (Qualified Independent Engineering Companies). If Seller decides to submit such issue to the assessment of a Qualified Independent Engineering Company, Seller shall provide Company with written notice to that effect. If Company and Seller do not agree within seven (7) Days of the date of Company’s receipt of the aforementioned notice from Seller upon the Qualified Independent Engineering Company from the Qualified Independent Engineer List to be retained by Seller for such purpose, Seller shall designate the Qualified Independent Engineering Company from the Qualified Independent Engineer List and the assessment of such Qualified Independent Engineering Company shall be binding on the Parties. If such Qualified Independent Engineering Company determines that Seller has adequately addressed the problem, such Qualified Independent Engineering Company shall also decide the date upon which Seller achieved this result so that the Parties will know that date from which the aforesaid twenty-five percent (25%) deduction from the Capacity Charge ceased to apply. The provisions of Article 17 (Dispute Resolution) shall not apply to the selection of the Qualified Independent Engineering Company under this Section 9.2(J)(4) or the conduct of the engineering assessment under this Section 9.2(J)(4).

(5) The twenty-five percent (25%) deduction from the portion of the amount payable as Capacity Charge pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(J)(4) is intended to
66


correlate to the portion of the amount payable as a Capacity Charge to take into account the unreliability of the Contract Firm Capacity as evidenced by the occurrence of Full Plant Trip (Category I) events and is not intended to compensate Company for the Full Plant Trip events themselves. Accordingly, Liquidated Damages shall still be payable as provided in Section 9.2(J)(1) through Section 9.2(J)(3) for all Full Plant Trip (Category I) and/or Full Plant Trip (Category II) events that occur during a period for which there has been a deduction from the Capacity Charge pursuant to Section 9.1(J)(4).

(K) Damages in the Event Seller Fails to Achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold. If the Facility fails to achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold in any Contract Year, Seller shall pay Liquidated Damages to Company as follows: if such failure occurs during (i) the Contract Year that commences with the Effective Date, Seller shall pay Liquidated Damages to Company in an amount equal to two and four-tenths percent (2.4%) of the Capacity Charge for such Contract Year; (ii) a Contract Year immediately following a Contract Year during which Seller achieved the Minimum Thermal Threshold, Seller shall pay Liquidated Damages to Company in an amount equal to two and four-tenths percent (2.4%) of the Capacity Charge; and (iii) a Contract Year immediately following a Contract Year during which Seller also failed to achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold, Seller shall pay Liquidated Damages to Company in an amount equal to four and eight-tenths percent (4.8%) of the Capacity Charge. For purposes of this Section 9.2(K) (Damages in the Event Seller Fails to Achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold), the Capacity Charge that forms the basis for the Liquidated Damages of 2.4% or 4.8% to be assessed shall be the Capacity Charge computed without regard to any payment imposed by this Section 9.2(K) (Damages in the Event Seller Fails to Achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold) and any other deductions or reductions that may apply, for the Contract Year during which such failure occurred. Payment of Liquidated Damages to Company under this Section 9.2(K) (Damages in the Event Seller Fails to Achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold) is due thirty (30) Days after written demand therefor from Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section 9.2(K) (Damages in the Event Seller Fails to Achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold) shall not apply in the event a steam host is not available to Seller; provided that such unavailability (1) is not due to any act or omission of Seller and (2) exists despite Seller’s efforts to maintain the Facility’s QF status in accordance with Section 3.2(L) (Qualifying Facility Status).

(L) Calculation of On-peak EFOR.

(1) When neither of the Facility's combustion turbines is in a reserve shutdown status, the Facility must be able to deliver Net Electric Energy Output equal to at least the Contract Firm Capacity (or such other Net Electric Energy Output as is associated with the capacity as may result from Delay Degradation), when called for by Company Dispatch, in order to avoid a derating for purposes of calculating On-peak EFOR. If, when called for by Company Dispatch during periods when neither of the Facility's combustion turbines is in reserve shutdown status, Seller is unable to deliver Net Electric Energy Output equal to at least the lesser of the Contract Firm Capacity or the capacity actually called for by Company Dispatch, a derate will be assessed equal in magnitude to the Contract Firm Capacity minus the revenue meter reading (both expressed in terms of kW), for purposes of calculating On-peak EFOR.

(2) On those occasions when one of the Facility's combustion turbines is in a
67


reserve shutdown status, the Facility must be able to deliver Net Electric Energy Output equal to at least the Prorated Shutdown Capacity (or such other Net Electric Energy Output as is associated with the capacity as may result from Delay Degradation), when called for by Company Dispatch, in order to avoid a derating for purposes of calculating On-peak EFOR. If, when called for by Company Dispatch during periods when one of the Facility's combustion turbines is in a reserve shutdown status, Seller is unable to deliver Net Electric Energy Output equal to at least the lesser of the Prorated Shutdown Capacity or the capacity actually called for by Company Dispatch, a derate will be assessed equal in magnitude to Prorated Shutdown Capacity, minus the revenue meter reading (both expressed in terms of kW), for purposes of calculating On-peak EFOR.

(3) Under this Agreement, the ratio for On-peak EFOR is to be calculated in accordance with the NERC GADS formulas, excluding the applicable seasonal adjustment. As a result, Net Dependable Capacity ("NDC") and Net Maximum Capacity ("NMC") are used in calculating Equivalent Planned Derated Hours and Equivalent Unplanned Derated Hours. In all cases, regardless of ambient conditions and degradation (except for Delay Degradation), NDC and NMC will continue to be the Contract Firm Capacity. Deratings that are less than or equal to two percent (2%) of the NMC, and/or less than or equal to thirty (30) minutes in duration, will continue to be included as deratings in determining Derated Hours.

(4) For purposes of calculating On-peak EFOR, the routine maintenance requirements provided in Section 8 (Schedule of Outages) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility) for any "C" Inspection shall be thirty-five (35) days per combustion turbine, or such longer time as agreed by Company in writing prior to commencement of such "C" inspection, instead of fifty (50) days. The time allotted for the steam turbine maintenance portion of the "C" Inspection shall remain unchanged.

(M) Liquidated Damages Due to Failure to Achieve On-peak EFOR Requirements.

(1) Seller warrants to Company that On-peak EFOR will not exceed six percent (6%) during any Contract Year.

(2) Commencing from the Effective Date, Company shall calculate the On- peak EFOR for each Contract Year. If the On-peak EFOR is two percent (2%) or less, there will be no reduction from the amount incurred by Company for the Capacity Charge for such Contract Year. If the aforesaid calculation demonstrates an On-peak EFOR for such Contract Year in excess of two percent (2%), for each one-tenth of a percentage point that the On-peak EFOR exceeds two percent (2%) up to a maximum of twelve percent when rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a percent (0.1%), the amounts incurred by Company for the Capacity Charge for such Contract Year shall be reduced by the following amounts:

On-Peak EFOR Amount of Reduction

2.1% to 6.0% $5,000 per 0.1% in excess of 2.0%

6.1% to 12.0%$10,000 per 0.1% in excess of 6.0%
Greater than 12.0% No further reduction
68


9.3 [Reserved]

9.4 Adjustments. All of the dollar values noted in Section 9.2(A) (Equivalent Availability Factor), Section 9.2(B) (Equivalent Forced Outage Rate), and Section 9.2(C) (Excessive Unit Trips) will be adjusted each Contract Year in accordance with Attachment U (Adjustment of Charges).

9.5 Other Rights Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by either Party, the non-Defaulting Party, subject to the rights described in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 8.1(C) (Cure Periods and Force Majeure Exceptions)and Section 8.2(C) (Right to Demand Independent Engineering Assessment and Modification), may exercise, at its election, any rights and claim and obtain any remedies it may have at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, compensation for monetary damages, injunctive relief and specific performance.

13.2 (Indemnification of Seller), Company shall be entitled, at its own expense, acting through counsel acceptable to Seller, to participate in and, to the extent that Company desires, to assume and control the defense thereof, provided, however, Company shall not compromise or settle a Claim against an Indemnified Seller Party without the prior written consent of Seller which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Seller, and anyone acting under its direction or control or on its behalf, shall, at its own expense, acquire and maintain, or cause to be maintained, commencing no later than the Effective Date, and continuing throughout the Term, as applicable, the minimum insurance coverage set forth in Attachment R (Required Insurance), or such higher amounts as the Seller and/or the Financing Parties reasonably determine to be necessary during the operation of the Facility. Seller's indemnity and other obligations shall not be limited by the foregoing insurance requirements.

15.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Seller, and anyone acting under its direction or control or on its behalf, shall cause its insurers to waive all rights of subrogation which Seller or its insurers may have against Company, Company’s agents, or Company’s employees.

The insurance policies specified in Section 2 (General Liability Insurance) and Section 3 (Automobile Liability Insurance) of Attachment R (Required Insurance) shall name Company as an additional insured, as its interest may appear, with respect to any and all third party bodily injury and/or property damage claims arising from Seller’s performance of this Agreement, and Seller shall submit to Company a copy of such additional insured endorsement with evidence of insurance as required herein. Seller shall promptly, and in no event later than five (5) Days after such cancellation modification or non-renewal, provide written notice to Company should any of the insurance policies required under this Agreement be cancelled, materially modified, or not renewed upon expiration. The insurance policies specified in Section 4 (Builders All Risk Insurance (Applicable to Construction in Excess of $30,000,000)) and Section 5 (All Risk Property/Comprehensive Boiler and Machinery Insurance (Upon Completion of Construction)) of Attachment R (Required Insurance) shall include Company as loss payee, as its interest may appear with respect to any Property or Boiler and Machinery losses. Company acknowledges that Financing Parties shall be entitled to receive and distribute any and all loss proceeds as stipulated by any Financing Documents related to any policy described in this Article 15 (Insurance) and Attachment R (Required Insurance).

15.4 Evidence of Policies Provided to Company. Evidence of insurance for the coverage specified in this Article 15 (Insurance) shall be provided to Company within thirty (30) Days after Seller has bound coverage of the related policies or by the date specified in Section 2.3(A) (Seller Conditions Precedent), whichever is later.

During the Term, Seller, upon Company’s reasonable request, shall make available to Company for its inspection at Seller’s designated location, certified copies of the insurance policies described in this Article 15 (Insurance) and Attachment R (Required Insurance). Receipt of any evidence of insurance showing less coverage than requested is not a waiver of Seller's obligations to fulfill the requirements.

15.5 Deductibles. Company acknowledges that any policy required herein may contain reasonable deductibles or self-insured retentions, the amounts of which will be reviewed for acceptance by Company. Acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld. Any deductible shall be the responsibility of Seller.
82

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain provisions in the Financing Documents, on reasonable terms, providing for the insurance proceeds from All Risk Property/Comprehensive Boiler and Machinery Insurance to be applied to repair of the Facility.

15.7 Annual Review by Company. The coverage limits shall be reviewed annually by Company and if, in Company's discretion, Company determines that the coverage limits should be increased, Company shall so notify Seller. The amount of any increase of the coverage limits, when considered as a percentage of the then existing coverage limits, shall not exceed the cumulative amount of increase in the Consumer Price Index occurring after the coverage limits herein were last set. Seller shall within thirty (30) Days of notice from Company increase the coverage as directed in such notice and the costs of such increased coverage limits shall be borne by Seller.

15.8 No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance herein, Company does not represent that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Seller, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a limitation on Seller's liability under the indemnities granted to Company in this Agreement.

15.9 Subcontractors. Seller shall ensure that each of its subcontractors is either (a) named as an additional insured under the insurance policies procured by Seller; or (b) separately covered by insurance policies equivalent in type and monetary limits as those required of Seller. All such insurance shall be provided at the sole cost of Seller or subcontractor.

(C) If any policy required herein is written on a claims-made basis, Seller warrants that any retroactive date applicable to coverage under the policy precedes the Execution Date; and that continuous coverage will be maintained or an extended discovery period will be exercised for a period of three (3) years beginning from the end of Term.

(D) If the limits of available liability coverage required herein become substantially reduced as a result of claim payments, Seller shall promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) Days after such substantial reduction, at its own expense, purchase additional liability insurance (if such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates) to increase the amount of available coverage to the limits of liability coverage required herein.

If Force Majeure delays or prevents a Party's performance for more than three hundred sixty-five (365) Days from the occurrence or inception of the Force Majeure, as stated in the Force Majeure Notice, and such delay or failure of performance would have otherwise constituted an Event of Default under Article 8 (Default), the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice.

Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the existence of a condition or event of Force Majeure shall not relieve the Parties of their obligations under this Agreement (including,
88


but not limited to, payment obligations, except as limited above) to the extent that performance of such obligations is not precluded by the condition or event of Force Majeure.

ARTICLE 24
PROCESS FOR ADDRESSING REVISIONS TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

24.1 Revisions to Performance Standards. The Parties acknowledge that, during the Term, certain Performance Standards and Telemetry and Control interfaces may be revised or added to facilitate necessary improvements in integrating intermittent renewable energy resources and/or energy storage resources into the Company System and operations. Such revisions or additions may be attributable to, without limitation, the following: changes in penetration levels of intermittent renewable resources on the Company System, changes in the Company System, changes in communications and control platforms, changes in system protection requirements, changes to the state of commercially available technology, changes to Company-owned generation resources, changes in customer electrical usage (such as changes in average hourly load profiles), and changes in Laws (e.g., new environmental constraints, which may limit Company's ability to start/stop its generators in response to integration of intermittent generation, or constraints impacting the power quality standards for and/or operation of the Company System, such as constraints imposed by the HERA Law or by the PUC under the HERA Law). Changes in Facility characteristics achieved through control system configuration, settings, or other tunable parameters shall not be considered a revision to performance standards. These types of changes should be implemented by Seller in response to Company request unless it can be shown that the changes negatively impact Seller's ability to meet its obligations under this Agreement.

24.2 Performance Standards Information Request. If Company concludes that a Performance Standards Revision is necessary or important for the operation of the Company System and is capable of being complied with by Seller, Company shall have the right to issue to Seller a Performance Standards Information Request with respect to such Performance Standards Revision. Seller shall, within a reasonable period of time following Seller's receipt of such Performance Standards Information Request, but in no event more than ninety (90) Days after Seller's receipt of such Request (or such other period of time as Company and Seller may agree in writing), submit to Company a Performance Standards Proposal responsive to the Performance Standards Revision proposed in such Performance Standards Information Request.

24.3 Performance Standards Proposal. Upon receipt of a Performance Standards Proposal submitted in response to a Performance Standards Information Request, Company will evaluate such Performance Standards Proposal and Seller shall assist Company in performing such evaluation as and to the extent reasonably requested by Company (including, but not limited to, providing such additional information as Company may reasonably request and participating in meetings with Company as Company may reasonably request). Company shall have no obligation to evaluate a Performance Standards Proposal submitted at Seller's own initiative.

24.4 Performance Standards Revision Document. If, following Company's evaluation of a Performance Standards Proposal, Company desires to consider implementing the Performance Standards Revision addressed in such Proposal, Company shall provide Seller with written notice to that effect, such notice to be issued to Seller within one hundred eighty (180) Days of receipt of the Performance Standards Proposal, and Company and Seller shall proceed to negotiate in good faith a Performance Standards Revision Document setting forth the specific changes to the Agreement that are necessary to implement such Performance Standards
97


Revision. A decision by Company to initiate negotiations with Seller as aforesaid shall not constitute an acceptance by Company of any of the details set forth in Seller's Performance Standards Proposal for the Performance Standards Revision in question, including but not limited to the Performance Standards Modifications and the Performance Standards Pricing Impact. Any adjustment to the rates for purchase set forth in Article 5 (Rates for Purchase) in
$/kWh (for amendments to the Energy Charge) and/or $/kW (for amendments to the Capacity Charge) pursuant to such Performance Standards Revision Document shall be limited to the Performance Standards Pricing Impact (other than with respect to the financial consequences of non-performance as to a Performance Standards Revision). The time periods set forth in such Performance Standards Revision Document as to the effective date for the Performance Standards Revision shall be measured from the date the PUC Performance Standards Revision Order becomes non-appealable as provided in Section 24.6 (PUC Performance Standards Revision Order).

24.5 Failure to Reach Agreement. If Company and Seller are unable to agree upon and execute a Performance Standards Revision Document within one hundred eighty (180) Days of Company's written notice to Seller pursuant to Section 24.4 (Performance Standards Revision Document), Company shall have the option of declaring the failure to reach agreement on and execute such Document to be a dispute and submit such dispute to an Independent Evaluator for the conduct of a determination pursuant to Section 24.10 (Dispute) of this Agreement. Any decision of the Independent Evaluator, rendered as a result of such dispute shall include a form of a Performance Standards Revision Document as described in Section 24.4 (Performance Standards Revision Document).

24.6 PUC Performance Standards Revision Order. No Performance Standards Revision Document shall constitute an amendment to the Agreement unless and until a PUC Performance Standards Revision Order issued with respect to such Document has become non-appealable. Once the condition of the preceding sentence has been satisfied, such Performance Standards Revision Document shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement. To be “non-appealable” under this Section 24.6 (PUC Performance Standards Revision Order), such PUC Performance Standards Revision Order shall be either (a) not subject to appeal to any Circuit Court of the State of Hawai‘i, Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawai‘i, or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, because the thirty (30) Day period (accounting for weekends and holidays, as appropriate) permitted for such an appeal has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal, or (b) affirmed on appeal to any Circuit Court of the State of Hawai‘i, Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawai‘i, or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, or affirmed upon further appeal or appellate process, and that is not subject to further appeal, because the jurisdictional time permitted for such an appeal (and/or further appellate process such as a motion for reconsideration or an application for writ of certiorari) has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal (or the filing for further appellate process).

24.7 Company’s Rights. The rights granted to Company under Section 24.4 (Performance Standards Revision Document) and Section 24.5 (Failure to Reach Agreement) above are exclusive to Company. Seller shall not have a right to initiate negotiations of a Performance Standards Revision Document or to initiate dispute resolution under Section 24.10 (Dispute), as a result of a failure to agree upon and execute any Performance Standards Revision Document.
98


24.8 Seller’s Obligation. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 24 (Process for Addressing Revisions to Performance Standards) to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to respond to more than one Performance Standards Information Request during any 12-month period.

24.9 Limited Purpose. This Article 24 (Process for Addressing Revisions to Performance Standards) is intended to specifically address necessary revisions to the Performance Standards and Telemetry and Control interfaces to enhance integration of intermittent resources and energy storage resources onto the Company System, or to comply with future Laws which may be driven in part by higher integration of intermittent resources and/or energy storage resources, and is not intended for either Party to provide a means for renegotiating any other terms of this Agreement. Revisions to the Performance Standards in accordance with the provisions of this Article 24 (Process for Addressing Revisions to Performance Standards) are not intended to materially increase Seller's risk of non-performance or default.

24.10 Dispute. If Company decides to declare a dispute as a result of the failure to reach agreement and execute a Performance Standards Revision Document pursuant to Section 24.5 (Failure to Reach Agreement), it shall provide written notice to that effect to Seller. Within twenty (20) Days of delivery of such notice, Seller and Company shall agree upon an Independent Evaluator to resolve the dispute regarding a Performance Standards Revision Document. The Independent Evaluator shall be reasonably qualified and expert in renewable energy power generation, matters relating to the Performance Standards, financing, and power purchase agreements. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an Independent Evaluator within such twenty (20) Day period, Company shall apply to the PUC for the appointment of an Independent Evaluator. If an Independent Observer retained under the Competitive Bidding Framework is qualified and willing and available to serve as Independent Evaluator, the PUC shall appoint one of the persons or entities qualified to serve as an Independent Observer to be the Independent Evaluator; if not, the PUC shall appoint another qualified person or entity to serve as Independent Evaluator. In its application, Company shall ask the PUC to appoint an Independent Evaluator within thirty (30) Days of the application.

(A) Independent Evaluator. Promptly upon appointment, the Independent Evaluator shall request the Parties to address the following matters within the next fifteen (15) Days:

(1) The Performance Standard Revision(s);

(2) The technical feasibility of complying with the Performance Standard Revision(s) and likelihood of compliance;

(3) How Seller would comply with the Performance Standard Revision(s);

(4) Reasonably expected net costs and/or lost revenues associated with the Performance Standards Revision(s);

(5) The appropriate level, if any, of Performance Standards Pricing Impact in light of the foregoing; and
99


(6) Contractual consequences for non-performance that are commercially reasonable under the circumstances.

(B) Decision. Within ninety (90) Days of appointment, the Independent Evaluator shall render a decision unless the Independent Evaluator determines it needs to have additional time, not to exceed forty-five (45) Days, to render a decision.

(C) Assistance. The Parties shall assist the Independent Evaluator throughout the process of preparing its review, including making key personnel and records available to the Independent Evaluator, but neither Party shall be entitled to participate in any meetings with personnel of the other Party or review of the other Party's records. However, the Independent Evaluator will have the right to conduct meetings, hearings or oral arguments in which both Parties are represented. The Parties may meet with each other during the review process to explore means of resolving the matter on mutually acceptable terms.

(D) Standard to be Applied in Rendering Decision. The following standards shall be applied by the Independent Evaluator in rendering his or her decision: (i) if it is not technically or operationally feasible for Seller to comply with a Performance Standard Revision, the Independent Evaluator shall determine that the Agreement shall not be amended to incorporate such Performance Standard Revision (unless the Parties agree otherwise); (ii) if it is technically or operationally feasible for Seller to comply with a Performance Standard Revision, the Independent Evaluator shall incorporate such Performance Standard Revision into a Performance Standards Revision Document including (aa) Seller's Performance Standards Modifications, (bb) pricing terms that incorporate the Performance Standards Pricing Impact, and (cc) contract terms and conditions that are commercially reasonable under the circumstances, especially with respect to the consequences of non-performance by Seller as to Performance Standards Revision(s). In addition to the Performance Standards Revision Document, the Independent Evaluator shall render a decision which sets forth the positions of the Parties and Independent Evaluator's rationale for his or her decisions on disputed issues.

(E) Fees and Costs. The fees and costs of the Independent Evaluator shall be paid by Company up to the first $30,000 of such fees and costs; above those amounts, the Party that is not the prevailing Party shall be responsible for any such fees and costs; provided, if neither Party is the prevailing Party, then the fees and costs of the Independent Evaluator above $30,000, shall be borne equally by the Parties. The Independent Evaluator in rendering his or her decision shall also state which Party prevailed over the other Party, or that neither Party prevailed over the other.

24.11 HERA Law. The provisions of this Article 24 (Process for Addressing Revisions to Performance Standards) are without limitation to the obligations of the Parties under the HERA Law and the reliability standards and interconnection requirements developed and adopted by the PUC pursuant to the HERA Law.

25.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Attachments, (together with any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into by the Parties during the process of negotiating this Agreement and/or discussing the specifications of the Facility) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior agreements, understandings or undertakings, oral or written. Each of the Parties confirms that in entering into this Agreement, it has not relied on any statement, warranty or other representation (other than those set out in this Agreement) made or information supplied, by or on behalf of the other Party.

25.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

25.4 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute either Party hereto as partner, agent or representative of the other Party or to create any fiduciary relationship between the Parties. Seller does not hereby dedicate any part of Facility to serve Company, Company's customers or the public.

25.5 Further Assurances. If either Party determines in its reasonable discretion that any further instruments, assurances or other things are necessary or desirable to carry out the terms of this Agreement, the other Party will execute and deliver all such instruments and assurances and do all things reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

25.6 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons, entities or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, including modification of the Agreement, to preserve the economic “benefit of the bargain” to both Parties notwithstanding any such aforesaid invalidity or unenforceability.

25.7 No Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no delay or forbearance of Company or Seller in the exercise of any remedy or right will constitute a waiver thereof, and the exercise or partial exercise of a remedy or right shall not preclude further exercise of the same or any other remedy or right.

25.8 Modification or Amendment. Any amendment or modification of this Agreement or any part hereof shall not be valid unless in writing and signed by the Parties. Any waiver hereunder shall not be valid unless in writing and signed by the Party against whom waiver is asserted. Seller shall not modify or amend or consent to a modification or amendment to any of the Financing Documents or Project Documents without the prior written consent of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, administrative changes mutually agreed by Company and Seller, such as changes to settings shown in Attachment E (Single-Line Diagram) and Attachment F
103

25.9 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. Interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be in accordance with, and shall be controlled by, the laws of the State of Hawai‘i, other than the laws thereof that would require reference to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

A Party's signature transmitted by facsimile, E-mail or other acceptable electronic means shall be considered an "original" signature which is binding and effective for all purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument binding all Parties notwithstanding that all of the Parties are not signatories to the same counterparts. For all purposes, duplicate unexecuted and unacknowledged pages of the counterparts may be discarded and the remaining pages assembled as one document.

25.11 Computation of Time. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed under this Agreement, the Day of the act, event or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. If the last Day of the period so computed is not a Business Day, then the period shall run until the end of the next Day which is a Business Day.

25.12 PUC Approval.

(A) PUC Approval Order. The term “PUC Approval Order” means an order from the PUC that does not contain terms and conditions deemed to be unacceptable to Company, and is in a form deemed to be reasonable by Company, in its sole, but nonarbitrary, discretion, ordering that:

(1) This Agreement is approved;

(2) The purchased energy costs to be incurred by Company as a result of this Agreement are reasonable;

(3) Company’s purchased power arrangements under this Agreement, pursuant to which Company will purchase energy and Contract Firm Capacity from Seller, are prudent and in the public interest;

(4) Company is authorized to include the power energy costs incurred by Company pursuant to this Agreement, including Capacity Charge and Energy Charge (Fuel and Variable O&M), in Company’s revenue requirements for ratemaking purposes and for the
104


purposes of determining the reasonableness of Company’s rates during the Term of this Agreement;

(5) The Fuel Component incurred by Company pursuant to this Agreement may be included in Company’s Energy Cost Adjustment Clause to the extent such costs are not included in base rates;

(6) Increases and decreases in the Fuel Component incurred by Company pursuant to this Agreement may be included in Company’s Energy Cost Adjustment Clause during the Term of the Agreement;

(7) Company is authorized to include the amounts that Company incurs to reimburse Seller for its carbon tax payments under this Agreement in Company’s Purchase Power Adjustment Clause to the extent such costs are not included in base rates for the Term; and

(8) Company is authorized to include the purchased energy costs (and related revenue taxes) that Company incurs under this Agreement, including the Capacity Charge and the Variable O&M Component, in Company’s Energy Cost Recovery Clause, or equivalent, to the extent such costs are not included in base rates for the Term.

(B) Non-appealable PUC Approval Order. The term “Non-appealable PUC Approval Order ” means a PUC Approval Order (i) that is not subject to appeal to any Circuit Court of the State of Hawai‘i, Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawai‘i, or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, because the period permitted for such an appeal (the “Appeal Period”) has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal, or (ii) that was affirmed on appeal to any Circuit Court of the State of Hawai‘i, Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawai‘i, or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, or was affirmed upon further appeal or appellate process, and that is not subject to further appeal, because the jurisdictional time permitted for such an appeal and/or further appellate process such as a motion for reconsideration or an application for writ of certiorari has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal or the filing for further appellate process.

(C) Company's Written Statement. Not later than thirty-five (35) Days after the issuance of a PUC order approving this Agreement, Company shall provide Seller with a copy of such order together with a written statement as to whether the conditions set forth in Section 25.12(A) (PUC Approval Order) have been satisfied and the order constitutes a PUC Approval Order. If Company's written statement declares that the conditions set forth in Section 25.12(A) (PUC Approval Order) have been satisfied, the date of the issuance of the PUC Approval Order shall be the "PUC Approval Order Date."

(D) Non-Appealable PUC Approval Order Date. If Company provides the written statement referred to in Section 25.12 (C) (Company's Written Statement) to the effect that the conditions referred to in Section 25.12(A) (PUC Approval Order) have been satisfied, the term "Non-appealable PUC Approval Order Date" shall be defined as follows:

(1) If a PUC Approval Order is issued and is not made subject to a motion for reconsideration filed with the PUC or an appeal, the Non-appealable PUC Approval Order Date
105


shall be the date one (1) Day after the expiration of the Appeal Period following the issuance of the PUC Approval Order, or the date of Company's written statement as required under Section 25.12(C) (Company's Written Statement), whichever is later;

(2) If the PUC Approval Order became subject to a motion for reconsideration, and the motion for reconsideration is denied or the PUC Approval Order is affirmed after reconsideration, and such order is not made subject to an appeal, the
Non-appealable PUC Approval Order Date shall be deemed to be the date one (1) Day after the expiration of the Appeal Period following the order denying reconsideration of or affirming the PUC Approval Order; or

(3) If the PUC Approval Order, or an order denying reconsideration of the PUC Approval Order or affirming approval of the PUC Approval Order after reconsideration, becomes subject to an appeal, then the Non-appealable PUC Approval Order Date shall be the date upon which the PUC Approval Order becomes a non-appealable order within the meaning of the definition of a Non-Appealable PUC Approval Order in Section 25.12(B) (Non-appealable PUC Approval Order).

(E) Unfavorable PUC Order. The term "Unfavorable PUC Order" means an order from the PUC concerning this Agreement that: (i) dismisses Company's application; (ii) denies Company's application; or (iii) approves Company's application but contains terms and conditions deemed unacceptable by Company in its sole discretion and therefore does not meet the definition of a PUC Approval Order as set forth in Section 25.12(A) (PUC Approval Order).

25.13 Change in Standard System or Organization.

(A) Consistent With Original Intent. If, during the Term of this Agreement, any standard, system or organization referenced in this Agreement should be modified or replaced in the normal course of events, such modification or replacement shall from that point in time be used in this Agreement in place of the original standard, system or organization, but only to the extent such modification or replacement is generally consistent with the original spirit and intent of this Agreement.

(B) Eliminated or Inconsistent With Original Intent. If, during the Term of this Agreement, any standard, system or organization referenced in this Agreement should be eliminated or cease to exist, or is modified or replaced and such modification or replacement is inconsistent with the original spirit and intent of this Agreement, then in such event the Parties will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to a standard, system or organization that would be consistent with the original spirit and intent of this Agreement.

(C) Discontinuation of Index. Should an index referred to herein, including but not limited to GDPIPD, be discontinued during the Term, Company and Seller agree to select a new index that is most similar to the discontinued index in content and concept and to make a proper transition thereto consistent with the intent hereof.

25.14 Headings. The Table of Contents and paragraph headings of the various sections and attachments have been inserted in this Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only
106


and shall not modify, define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof and shall not be used in the interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement.

25.15 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement not otherwise defined in the context in which they first appear are defined in the Article 1 (Definitions).

25.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person or entity other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

25.17 Proprietary Rights. Seller agrees that in fulfilling its responsibilities under this Agreement, it will not use any process, program, design, device or material that infringes on any United States patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret (“Proprietary Rights”). Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company from and against all losses, damages, claims, fees and costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising from or incidental to any suit or proceeding brought against the Indemnified Company Party for infringement of third party Proprietary Rights arising out of Seller's performance under this Agreement, including but not limited to patent infringement due to the use of technical features of the Facility to meet the requirements of Section 3.2(B) (Warranties and Guarantees of Performance), Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility) and the Performance Standards specified in the Agreement.

25.18 Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Company's ability to exercise its rights as specified in Company's tariff as filed with the PUC, or as specified in General Order No. 7 of the PUC's Standards for Electric Utility Service in the State of Hawai‘i, as either may be amended from time to time.

25.19 Settlement of Disputes. Except as otherwise expressly provided, any dispute or difference arising out of this Agreement or concerning the performance or the non-performance by either Party of its obligations under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 17 (Dispute Resolution) of this Agreement.

25.20 [Reserved]

25.21 Attachments. Each attachment to this Agreement (the “Attachments”) constitutes an essential and necessary part of this Agreement.

25.22 Hawai‘i General Excise Tax. Seller shall, when making payments to Company under this Agreement, pay such additional amount as may be necessary to reimburse Company for the Hawai‘i general excise tax on gross income and all other similar taxes imposed on Company by any Governmental Authority with respect to payments in the nature of gross receipts tax, sales tax, privilege tax or the like (including receipt of any payment made under this Section 25.22 (Hawai‘i General Excise Tax)), but excluding federal or state net income taxes. By way of example and not limitation, as of the Execution Date, all payments subject to the Hawai‘i general excise tax plus surcharge on O‘ahu (totaling 4.5% as of the Execution Date) would include an additional 4.712% so that the underlying payment will be net of such tax liability.
107


25.23 Survival of Obligations. The rights and obligations that are intended to survive a termination of this Agreement are all of those rights and obligations that this Agreement expressly provides shall survive any such termination and those that arise from Seller’s or Company’s covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties applicable to, or to be performed, at or during any time prior to or as a result of the termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(A) Seller’s obligations under Section 8.2(B) (Company’s Assumption of Seller’s Interest) and Section 8.2(E) (Waiver of PURPA Rights);

(B) The requirements of Article 11 (Audit Rights);

(C) The indemnity obligations to the extent provided in Article 13 (Indemnification), Section 25.17 (Proprietary Rights) and in Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller);

(D) The requirements of Article 17 (Dispute Resolution);

(E) The limitation of damages under Article 14 (Consequential Damages);

(F) The obligations under Section 1(f) (Right of First Refusal), Section 2(d) (Right of First Refusal) and applicable provisions of Section 3 (Procedure to Determine Fair Market Value of the Facility), Section 4 (Purchase and Sale Agreement), Section 5 (PUC Approval) and Section 6 (Company’s Option to Purchase Pursuant to Section 3.2(I)(5)(e)) of Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller);

(G) The provisions of Article 25 (Miscellaneous);

(H) Land restoration requirements under Section 7 (Land Restoration) of Attachment G (Company-Owned Interconnection Facilities); and

(I) Seller’s obligations under Section 4 (Ongoing Operation and Maintenance Charges) of Attachment G (Company-Owned Interconnection Facilities) to pay operation and maintenance costs incurred up to the date of termination of the Agreement.

25.24 Steam Sales Contract Monthly Report. Not more than thirty (30) Days following the end of each calendar month, Seller shall provide Company with a written report setting forth for each one-hour interval during each On-peak Period during such calendar month the amount of process steam exported by the Facility pursuant to the Steam Sales Contract and the average (the “On- peak Monthly Steam Average”) export of process steam for all such one-hour intervals during the month (the “Steam Sales Monthly Report”). If any Steam Sales Monthly Report indicates that the On-peak Monthly Steam Average exceeds 110,000 lb/hour that month, then the Steam Sales Monthly Report shall also include an explanation of the reasons for the On-peak Monthly Steam Average exceeding 110,000 lb/hour and a projection for the Contract Year of the amount of process steam to be exported by the Facility pursuant to the Steam Sales Contract. If any such Contract Year projection indicates that the On-peak Monthly Steam Average is projected to exceed 110,000 lb/hour in a calendar month remaining in such Contract Year, then the Steam Sales Monthly Report shall also include an explanation of the reasons therefor.
108


25.25 Additional Covenant Concerning Steam Sales Contract.

(A) If any Steam Sales Monthly Report indicates that the counterparty to the Steam Sales Contract has increased its take of process steam from the Facility beyond the equivalent of 110,000 lb/hour during any On-peak Period resulting in or contributing to a derating of the Facility’s capability below the Contract Firm Capacity (as may be reduced by any Delay Degradation as provided in Section 8.e (Degradation Exemption) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), or that said counterparty is projected to increase its take of process steam from the Facility beyond the equivalent of 110,000 lb/hour during the Contract Year such that the increased take of steam may result in deratings of the Facility’s capability below the Contract Firm Capacity (as may be reduced by any Delay Degradation) during
On-peak Periods, then Seller shall promptly take such actions as it determines to be appropriate to eliminate the occurrence of such deratings below the Contract Firm Capacity (as may be reduced by any Delay Degradation) and shall report to Company on its efforts to eliminate the occurrence of such deratings below the Contract Firm Capacity (as may be reduced by any Delay Degradation).

(B) If the counterparty’s take of process steam from the Facility beyond the equivalent of 110,000 lb/hour during the Calendar Year results in or contributing to deratings below the Contract Firm Capacity (as may be reduced by any Delay Degradation as provided in Section 8.e (Degradation Exemption) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility) during more than thirty (30) On-peak Periods during that Calendar Year, Seller shall employ all commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate such process steam-related deratings below the Contract Firm Capacity (as may be reduced by any Delay Degradation) or to induce such counterparty to limit its take of process steam from the Facility to the equivalent of 110,000 lb/hour during On-peak Periods, provided that Seller is not required to induce any limitation that would have the effect of causing the Facility to fail to achieve the Minimum Thermal Threshold or fail to remain a QF.

25.26 Negotiated Terms. The Parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are the result of negotiations between the Parties and that this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against any Party by reason of the extent to which any Party or its professional advisors participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

25.27 Certain Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement:

(A) The phrase “breach of a representation” includes a misrepresentation and the failure of a representation to be accurate.

(B) “Including” and any other words or phrases of inclusion will not be construed as terms of limitation, so that references to “included” matters will be regarded as non-exclusive, non-characterizing illustrations.

(C) “Copy” or “copies” means that the copy or copies of the material to which it relates are true, correct and complete.

(D) When “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Attachment” is capitalized in this Agreement, it refers to an article, section, schedule or attachment to this Agreement.
109


(E) “Will” has the same meaning as “shall” and, thus, connotes an obligation and an imperative and not a futurity.

(F) Titles and captions of or in this Agreement, the cover sheet and table of contents of this Agreement, and language in parenthesis following section references are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any of its provisions.

(G) Whenever the context requires, the singular includes the plural and plural includes the singular, and the gender of any pronoun includes the other genders.

(H) Each Attachment to this Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and is made a part of this Agreement as if set out in full in the first place that reference is made to it.

(I) Any reference to any statutory provision includes each successor provision and all applicable Laws as to that provision.

General Manager
Kalaeloa Partners, L. P.

Kapolei, Hawaii 96707

Subject: Kalaeloa Operations Support During an Island-Wide Outage Event

Dear Ruedi:

We appreciate your continued support of our efforts to review the events of the October 15, 2006 island wide outage and to identify opportunities to evaluate and, if appropriate, implement actions that might result in a better system wide restoration of power.

We noted the willingness of the Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa) plant operators during the 10/15/06 event to utilize a Kalaeloa combustion turbine (CT) to energize a Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO) 138 KV bus at the Kalaeloa substation and thus provide the potential for a more rapid restoration of power within the HECO system as compared to the alternatives. The Kalaeloa plant operators were able to consider making such an offer because Kalaeloa CT2 had successfully islanded from the HECO system (following an automatic underfrequency relay initiated separation from the HECO system and the successful stabilization of the CT operation by the Kalaeloa operators). Subsequent checking by HECO System Operations personnel revealed that it was not possible for the HECO circuit breakers to close while a Kalaeloa CT was operating and the HECO bus was not energized due to the protection scheme HECO had set up for the HECO circuit breakers that control power flows in HECO’s Kalaeloa substation prior to the Kalaeloa InService Date in 1991.

Ruedi Tobler

Our post event follow-up discussions have reaffirmed the intention of Kalaeloa to support HECO should a similar situation occur in the future. In order for this to be possible, HECO will initiate action to modify the protection scheme for the HECO circuit breakers (CB 310, CB 311, CB 313 and CB 314) to provide the option to energize a “dead” bus under HECO Load Dispatcher control in a manner consistent with Kalaeloa operations within Good Engineering and Operating Practices (GEOPS) under the Power Purchase Agreement between HECO and KPLP (the PPA).

Based on our discussions, the following would be key steps to initiate and implement action to energize a “dead” bus:

There would be direct communication between designated personnel from the Kalaeloa facility and HECO System Operations to confirm that the circumstances meet predetermined criteria and that both HECO and Kalaeloa are authorizing the process to reenergize the bus and enable HECO to proceed with the restart of the HECO system from the black condition.

HECO would then manually enable the equipment in the Kalaeloa substation to get ready for the process.

A subsequent step would be the closing of applicable HECO breakers that will be performed by HECO personnel.

Subsequent dispatch of the Kalaeloa plant will be under the direction of HECO in coordination with the Kalaeloa plant operators.

Neither Kalaeloa nor HECO would be under any obligation to authorize such dead bus energization. Kalaeloa would have the discretion to trip its combustion turbine(s) during the system restart procedure, without penalties, in order to protect its facility.

Sincerely,
/s/ Ronald R. Cox

METHODS AND FORMULAS FOR MEASURING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS/SELECTED PORTIONS OF NERC GADS

EQUIVALENT AVAILABILITY FACTOR (EAF)

EAF = [(AH – EPDH - EUDH)/PH] x 100%

Where:

Available Hours (AH) = Sum of all Service Hours (SH) + Reserve Shutdown Hours (RSH)

Equivalent Planned Derated Hours (EPDH): Each individual Planned Derating (PD, DP) is transformed into equivalent full outage hour(s). This is calculated by multiplying the actual duration of the derating (hours) by the size of reduction (MW) and dividing by the Net Maximum Capacity (NMC). These equivalent hour(s) are then summed.

(Derating Hours x Size of Reduction)/NMC. Note: Includes Planned Deratings (PD) during Reserve Shutdowns (RS).

Equivalent Unplanned Derated Hours (EUDH): Each individual Unplanned Derating (D1, D2, D3, D4, DM) is transformed into equivalent full outage hour(s). This is calculated by multiplying the actual duration of the derating (hours) by the size of reduction (MW) and dividing by the Net Maximum Capacity (NMC). These equivalent hour(s) are then summed.

(Derating Hours x Size of Reduction)/NMC. Note: Includes Unplanned Derating (D1, D2, D3, D4, DM) during Reserve Shutdowns (RS).

Gross Maximum Capacity (GMC): The maximum capacity the unit can sustain over a specified period of time when not restricted by ambient conditions or deratings.

Maintenance Derating (D4): A derating that can be deferred beyond the end of the next weekend but requires a reduction in capacity before the next Planned Outage (PO). A D4 can have a flexible start date and may or may not have a predetermined duration.

Maintenance Derating Extension (DM): An extension of a maintenance derate (D4) beyond its estimated completion date.

Net Maximum Capacity (NMC): Net Maximum Capacity is the unit’s Gross Maximum Capacity (GMC) less any capacity (MW) utilized for that unit’s station service or auxiliary load.

Period Hours (PH): The number of hours in the period being reported that the unit was in the active state. The period hours in each month or year are as follows:
C-1

October744
November720
December744

Planned Derating (PD): A derating that is scheduled well in advance and is of a predetermined duration.

Planned Derating Extension (DP): An extension of a Planned Derate (PD) beyond its estimated completion date.

Planned Outage (PO): 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. Turbine and boiler overhauls or inspections, testing, and nuclear refueling are typical Planned Outages.

Reserve Shutdown (RS): The state where the unit is available for load but is not synchronized due to lack of demand.

Reserve Shutdown Hours (RSH): Sum of all hours the unit was available to the system but not synchronized for economy reasons.

Service Hours (SH): Sum of all Unit Service Hours.

Unit Service Hours: Hours the unit was synchronized to the system. For units equipped with multiple generators, count only those hours when at least one of the generators was synchronized, whether or not one or more generators were actually in service.

Unplanned (Forced) Derating – Immediate (D1): A derating that requires an immediate reduction in capacity.

Unplanned (Forced) Derating – Delayed (D2): A derating that does not require an immediate reduction in capacity but requires a reduction within six hours.

Unplanned (Forced) Derating – Postponed (D3): A derating that can be postponed beyond six hours but requires a reduction in capacity before the end of the next weekend.


C-2


EQUIVALENT FORCED OUTAGE RATE (EFOR)

EFOR = [(FOH + EFDH)/(FOH + SH + EFDHRS)] x 100%

Where:
Equivalent Forced Derated Hours (EFDH): Each Individual Forced Derating (D1, D2, D3) is transformed into equivalent full outage hour(s). This is calculated by multiplying the actual duration of the derating (hours) by the size of the reduction (MW) and dividing by the Net Maximum Capacity (NMC). These equivalent hour(s) are then summed.
(Derating Hours x Size of Reduction)/NMC. Note: Includes Forced Deratings (D1, D2, D3) during Reserve Shutdowns (RS)

Equivalent Forced Derated Hours During Reserve Shutdowns (EFDHRS): Each individual Forced Derating (D1, D2, D3) or a portion of any Forced Derating which occurred during a Reserve Shutdown (RS) is transformed into equivalent outage hour(s). This is calculated by multiplying the actual duration of the derating (hours) by the size of the reduction (MW) and dividing by the Net Maximum Capacity (NMC). These equivalent hour(s) are then summed.
(Derating Hours x Size of Reduction)/NMC.

Forced Outage Hours (FOH) = Sum of all hours experienced during Forced Outages (U1, U2, U3) + Startup Failures (SF)

Gross Maximum Capacity (GMC): The maximum capacity the unit can sustain over a specified period of time when not restricted by ambient conditions or deratings.

Net Maximum Capacity (NMC): Net Maximum Capacity is the unit’s Gross Maximum Capacity (GMC) less any capacity (MW) utilized for that unit’s station service or auxiliary load.

Reserve Shutdown (RS): The state where the unit is available for load but is not synchronized due to lack of demand.

Service Hours (SH): Sum of all Unit Service Hours.

Startup Failure (SF): An outage that results when a unit is unable to synchronize within a specified startup time following an outage or a Reserve Shutdown.

Unit Service Hours: Hours the unit was synchronized to the system. For units equipped with multiple generators, count only those hours when at least one of the generators was synchronized, whether or not one or more generators were actually in service.

Unplanned (Forced) Derating – Immediate (D1): A derating that requires an immediate reduction in capacity.

Unplanned (Forced Derating – Delayed (D2): A derating that does not require an immediate reduction in capacity but requires a reduction within six hours.

C-3


Unplanned (Forced) Derating – Postponed (D3): A derating that can be postponed beyond six hours but requires a reduction in capacity before the end of the next weekend.

Unplanned (Forced) Outage – Immediate (U1): An outage that requires immediate removal of a unit from service, another Outage State, or a Reserve Shutdown state. This type of outage usually results from immediate mechanical/electrical/hydraulic control systems trips and operator-initiated trips in response to unit alarms.

Unplanned (Forced) Outage – Delayed (U2): An outage that does not require immediate removal of a unit from the in-service state but requires removal within six hours. This type of outage can only occur while the unit is in service.

Unplanned (Forced) Outage – Postponed (U3): An outage that can be postponed beyond six hours but requires that a unit be removed from the in-service state beyond the end of the next weekend. This type of outage can only occur while the unit is in service.

Variable O&M Component = Variable O&M Component BASE x GDPIPDCURRENT /GDPIPD
BASE.

(2) Variable O&M Component. The Facility’s Variable O&M ComponentBASE shall consist of:

(a) A “Per kWh Variable Component” of 0.5 cent per kWh (in 2022 dollars) multiplied by the Net Electric Energy Output in kWh during the calendar month, and

(b) An “Overhaul Component” of $425.00 per hour (in 2022 dollars) that each combustion turbine generating unit is operated plus the number of times that each combustion turbine starts multiplied by 20 during the calendar month.

GDPIPDCURRENT = GDPIPD, as adjusted, in effect at the time the energy is delivered

GDPIPDBASE = The “Third” estimate of the GDPIPD for the Third Quarter of the year prior to
the Reference Year.

The Reference Year for base year purposes is 2022.

(3) Sample Calculation. A sample of the Energy Charge payment calculation is provided below:

Sample Calculation assumptions:

Monthly generation = 100,000,000 kWh

Operations: CT1 = 500 hours, 10 starts; CT2 = 400 hours, 20 starts
Total EOH = 500 + (10 x 20) + 400 + (20 x 20) = 1,500 EOH

GDPIPDCURRENT = 110
GDPIPD BASE = 100
J-2



Variable O&M Component = Variable O&M Component BASE x GDPIPDCURRENT
/GDPIPD BASE

Variable O&M Component BASE = Per kWh Variable Component + Overhaul
Component

Per kWh Variable Component = 0.50 cents per kWh x 100,000,000 kWh = $500,000
Outage Component = $425 per EOH x 1,500 EOH = $637,500

Variable O&M Component BASE = $1,137,500

Variable O&M Component = $1,137,500 x (110/100) = $1,251,250


Section B (Capacity Charge):

(1) Capacity Charge Formula. Commencing on the later of the Effective Date and the Capacity Rate Inclusion Date, the Capacity Charge shall be computed by the following formula:

Capacity Charge = Contract Firm Capacity x (Capacity Charge Rate + Fixed O&M Component Rate).

(2) Fixed O&M Component Rate. Fixed O&M Component Rate shall be $7.50 per kW per month (in 2022 dollars) and shall be escalated annually by the factor of GDPIPD CURRENT
/GDPIPD BASE.

The Reference Year for base year purposes is 2022.

(3) Capacity Charge Rate: $8.33 per kW per month.

(4) Sample Calculation (Capacity Charge). A sample of the Capacity Charge payment calculation is provided below:

Sample Calculation assumptions:
Contract Firm Capacity = 208 MW
GDPIPDCURRENT = 110
GDPIPD BASE = 100

Capacity Charge = Contract Firm Capacity x (Capacity Charge Rate + Fixed O&M
Component Rate).

Capacity Charge Rate = $8.33 per kW per month


J-3


Fixed O&M Component Rate = $7.50 per kW per month x GDPIPDCURRENT/GDPIPD
BASE = $7.50 x 110/100 = $8.25 per kW per month

Capacity Charge = 208,000 kW x [(8.33 + 8.25) per kW-month] = $3,448,640


(5) Sample Calculation (Capacity Charge Reduction #1). A sample of the calculation pursuant to Section 5.1(D)(1) (Further Reduction From Capacity Charge) is provided below:

Sample Calculation assumptions:

Contract Firm Capacity = 208 MW
GDPIPDCURRENT = 110
GDPIPD BASE = 100

Capacity Charge = Contract Firm Capacity x (Capacity Charge Rate + Fixed O&M
Component Rate).

Capacity Charge Rate = $8.33 per kW per month

Fixed O&M Component Rate = $7.50 per kW per month x GDPIPDCURRENT/GDPIPD
BASE = $7.50 x 110/100 = $8.25 per kW per month
Capacity deficiency = 38 MW
Duration of capacity deficiency = 42 days

Period of capacity deficiency = April 20 – May 31
Impact on Capacity Charge:
Month of April – no impact (Capacity Charge paid in advance)
Month of May – no impact (Capacity Charge paid in advance)
Month of June – normal payment = 208,000 kW x [(8.33 + 8.25) per kW-month] =
$3,448,640.

Adjustment to Payment = 38,000 kW x (42/30) months x [($8.33 + 8.25) per kW-
month]
= $882,056 reduction

Note: If the adjustment to payment is more than the normal payment, the balance of the
adjustment would be taken in subsequent month(s).
J-4


(6) Sample Calculation (Capacity Charge Reduction #2). Another sample of the calculation pursuant to Section 5.1(D)(1) (Further Reduction From Capacity Charge) is provided below:

Sample Calculation assumptions:

Contract Firm Capacity = 208 MW
GDPIPDCURRENT = 110
GDPIPD BASE = 100

Capacity Charge = Contract Firm Capacity x (Capacity Charge Rate + Fixed O&M
Component Rate).

Capacity Charge Rate = $8.33 per kW per month

Fixed O&M Component Rate = $7.50 per kW per month x GDPIPDCURRENT/GDPIPD
BASE = $7.50 x 110/100 = $8.25 per kW per month Capacity deficiency = 7 MW
Duration of capacity deficiency = 125 days

Period of capacity deficiency = April 20 – August 22 Impact on Capacity Charge:
Month of April through August – no impact (Capacity Charge paid in advance)


Month of September – normal payment = 208,000 kW x [(8.33 + 8.25) per kW-month]
= $3,448,640.

Adjustment to Payment = 7,000 kW x (125/30) months x [($8.33 + 8.25) per kW-
month] = $483,583.33 reduction

Note: If the adjustment to payment is more than the normal payment, the balance of the
adjustment would be taken in subsequent month(s).

CONTROL SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TEST CRITERIA

Final test criteria and procedures shall be agreed upon by Company and Seller no later than thirty (30) Days prior to conducting the Control System Acceptance Test (CSAT) in accordance with Good Engineering and Operating Practices and with the terms of this Agreement.

The Control System Acceptance Test is comprised of two parts, a set of onsite (at Facility) specific tests and a monitoring performance test. These tests may include the following:

On-site Tests:

1. SCADA Test to verify the status and analog telemetry, and if the remote controls between the Company’s EMS and the Facility are working properly end-to-end.

2. Dispatch Test to verify if the Facility active power limit controls and Seller’s Centralized Control System, as described in Section 2 (Trip Setting) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), which interfaces with the Company’s EMS are working properly. Test is generally conducted by setting different active power limit setpoints and observing the proper limiting of the Facility’s real power output.

3. Voltage Regulation Control Test to verify the Facility can properly perform automatic voltage regulation as defined in this Agreement. Test is generally conducted by making small adjustments of the voltage setpoint and verifying by observation that the Facility regulates the voltage at the point of regulation to the setpoint by delivering/receiving reactive power to/from the Company System to maintain the applicable setpoint according to the reactive power control and the reactive amount requirements of Section 3(b) (Reactive Power Control) and Section 3(c) (Reactive Amount) of Attachment B (Facility Owned By Seller).

4. Frequency Regulation Control Test to verify the Facility provides a frequency droop response as defined in this Agreement. Test is generally conducted by making adjustments of the frequency reference setting and verifying by observation that the Facility respond per the droop and deadband settings.

5. Loss-of-Communication Test to verify the Facility will properly shutdown upon the failure of the direct-transfer-trip communication system. Test is generally conducted by simulating a communications failure and observing the proper shutdown of the Facility.

Monitoring Test:

a) The monitoring test requires the Facility to operate as it would in normal operations.

b) To ensure useful and valid test data is collected, the monitoring test shall end when one of the following criteria is met:

O-1


A. The Facility's power production is greater than eight-five percent (85%) of its Contract Firm Capacity, for at least four (4) hours in any continuous 24-hour CSAT period.

B. [Reserved]

C. Fourteen (14) Continuous days from the start of the CSAT.

c) At the end of the test, an evaluation period is selected based on the criteria that triggered the end of the test.

d) The performance of the Facility is evaluated for this evaluation period, e.g. examining voltage regulation, frequency regulation, dispatch control, and ramp rate performance to verify the performance meets the requirements of this Agreement. The Facility is considered to have complied with a requirement if the Facility was compliant with the requirement at least 99.0% of the time during the evaluation period and the Facility does not grossly violate the requirement when the Facility was in violation. The Parties understand and agree that these compliance conditions are limited only to determining whether the Facility successfully completes the CSAT monitoring test and are not for use in determining Facility compliance during the Term, shall not be considered a waiver of any of the performance standards of Seller, all of which are hereby reserved, and shall not alleviate Seller from any of its obligations under the Agreement.

ATTACHMENT P
SALE OF FACILITY BY SELLER

1. Company's Right of First Negotiation Prior to End of the Term.

(a) Right of First Negotiation. Commencing as of the Execution Date, should Seller desire to sell, transfer or dispose of its right, title, or interest in the Facility, in whole or in part, including a Change in Control (as defined below), then, other than through an "Exempt Sale" (as defined below):

(i) Seller shall first offer to sell such interest to Company by providing Company with written notice of the same (the "Offer Notice"), which notice shall identify the proposed purchase price for such interest (including a description of any consideration other than cash that will be accepted) (the "Offer Price") and any other material terms of the intended transaction, and Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase such interest at the Offer Price and upon the other material terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller). Seller shall provide to Company as part of the Offer Notice, information in its possession regarding the Facility to allow Company to conduct due diligence on the potential purchase, including, but not limited to information on the operational status of the Facility and its components, and the amount of debt or other material Seller obligations remaining with respect to the Facility (the Offer Notice and due diligence information on the Facility are collectively referred to as, the "Offer Materials"). Within five (5) Days of Company's receipt of the Offer Materials, if Company believes the due diligence information is incomplete, Company shall specify in writing the additional information Company requires to conduct its due diligence. The date on which Company receives the Offer Materials from Seller is referred to hereinafter as the "Offer Date."

(ii) If Company desires to purchase such interest, Company shall indicate so by delivering to Seller a binding, written offer to purchase such interest at the Offer Price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice within thirty (30) Days of the Offer Date (an "Acceptance Notice"). If Company timely delivers an Acceptance Notice, Seller shall sell and transfer to Company the interest substantially on the terms and conditions contained in the Offer Notice consistent with this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) and in accordance with definitive documentation to be entered into between Seller and Company. The Parties shall have sixty (60) Days from the Company's Acceptance Notice, or such other extended timeframe as agreed to by the Parties in writing, to negotiate in good faith, the terms and conditions of a purchase and sale agreement. The period beginning with the Offer Date and ending with such sixty (60) Day period (as may be extended as aforesaid) is referred to as the "Right of First Negotiation Period".

(iii) Seller shall not solicit any offers for the sale of such interest to any other party during the Right of First Negotiation Period unless, during that period, Company provides Seller with written notice that Company no longer desires to purchase such interest, whereupon negotiations shall terminate.

(iv) If (A) Company fails to timely deliver an Acceptance Notice, (B) Company delivers a notice to Seller that it no longer desires to purchase the interest, or (C) the

P-1


Parties are not able to execute a purchase and sale agreement within the Right of First Negotiation Period set forth in Section 1(a)(ii) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), Seller may for a period of two hundred seventy (270) Days following the event specified in subsection (A), (B) or (C) above, commence solicitation of offers and negotiations from and with other parties for the sale of such interest. If the interest is not transferred to a purchaser or purchasers for any reason within the two hundred seventy (270) Day period (unless extended by mutual agreement by Seller and Company), the interest may only be transferred by again complying with the procedures set forth in this Section 1(a) (Right of First Negotiation) of Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller); provided, however, if Seller and the prospective purchaser have entered into definitive agreement(s) for the sale of the interest that was reasonably expected to close within such two hundred seventy (270) Day period (as may be extended as provided above) and such agreement(s) remain in full force and effect between Seller and such prospective purchaser and are subject to conditions precedent that are expected to be satisfied within a reasonable period, the two hundred seventy (270) Day period shall be extended as to such agreement(s) and such prospective purchaser for up to one hundred eighty
(180) additional Days or, if sooner, until such date that such agreement(s) have been terminated, cancelled or otherwise become no longer in full force and effect.

(v) After expiration of the Right of First Negotiation Period, Company will not be precluded from providing offers or proposals to Seller along with other prospective purchasers in accordance with any offer or bid procedures established by Seller in its discretion.

(b) Change in Ownership Interests and Control of Seller. Commencing as of the Execution Date, the Right of First Negotiation shall also be triggered by a transfer or sale of an ownership interest in Seller (whether in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions) following which PSEG Kalaeloa Inc. or an entity controlled by PSEG Kalaeloa Inc. is no longer a direct or indirect owner of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the equity interest or voting control of Seller (excluding any equity interest or voting control of Seller held by a tax equity investor or for Financing Purposes (as defined below)) (such transfer of ownership interest and change in control collectively referred to as a "Change in Control"); provided, however that a transfer or sale whereby PSEG Kalaeloa Inc. retains the possession, directly or indirectly, or the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Seller, whether through ownership, by contract, or otherwise, shall not be deemed a Change in Control.

(c) Exempt Sales. Exempt Sales shall not trigger a Right of First Negotiation and shall not require the consent of Company. As used herein, "Exempt Sales" means: (i) a change in ownership of the Facility or equity interests in Seller resulting from the direct or indirect transfer or assignment by or of Seller in connection with financing or refinancing of the Facility ("Financing Purposes"), including, without limitation, any exercise of rights or remedies (including foreclosure) with respect to Seller's right, title, or interest in the Facility or equity interests in Seller undertaken by any financing party in accordance with applicable financing documents, and including, without limitation, (x) a sale and leaseback of the Facility, (y) an inverted lease, (z) a sale or transfer of equity in Seller to facilitate a tax credit financing (including any partnership "flip" transaction), (ii) a disposition of equipment in the ordinary course of operating and maintaining the Facility, (iii) a sale that does not result in a Change in Control, and (iv) a sale or transfer of any interest in Seller or the Facility to one or more companies directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Seller.

P-2


(d) Seller's Right to Transfer. If Company does not consummate a purchase pursuant to its exercise of the Right of First Negotiation in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), Seller shall, subject to the prior written consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, have the right to transfer or sell the Facility to any person or entity which proposes to acquire the Facility with the intent to continue the operation of the Facility in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to an assignment of this Agreement. Company shall consent to the assignment of this Agreement to such prospective purchaser upon receiving documentation from Seller establishing, to Company's reasonable satisfaction, that the assignee (i) has a tangible net worth of $100,000,000 or a credit rating of "BBB-" or better and has the ability to perform its financial obligations hereunder (or provides a guaranty from an entity that meets this description) in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (ii) has experience in the ownership and at least five (5) years of experience in the operation (or contracts with an entity that has at least five (5) years of experience in the operation) of power generation; provided, however, that Company shall be deemed to have consented to the assignment if, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving from Seller the documentation establishing that the assignee meets all the foregoing criteria, Company does not either (y) deliver the required consent to Seller, or (z) notify Seller which of the foregoing criteria is not established by such documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company consent shall not be required for any Exempt Sale.

(e) Purchase and Sale Agreement and PUC Approval. If Company exercises its Right of First Negotiation under Section 1(a) (Right of First Negotiation) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) and the Parties conclude a purchase and sale agreement, such agreement shall contain, at a minimum, the terms set forth in Section 4 (Purchase and Sale Agreement) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), and such agreement shall be subject to PUC Approval as provided in Section 5 (PUC Approval) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller).

(f) Right of First Refusal. If the Parties fail to agree upon a sale of the Facility or an interest in the Facility to Company prior to the expiration of the Right of First Negotiation Period, the provisions of this Section 1(f) (Right of First Refusal) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) shall apply if (i) Seller thereafter offers to sell the Facility to a third party for less than (as applicable) the final amount Company had offered to purchase the Facility or (ii) an ownership interest in the Facility that would result in a Change in Control is offered for sale to a third party that is less than the proportionate share of (as applicable) the final amount Company had offered to purchase the Facility. (By way of example, if the final amount offered by Company to purchase the Facility was $100, and the ownership interest being offered for sale is 75%, the "proportionate share" is $75, such that an offer to sell such ownership interest for less than $75 would trigger this Section 1(f) (Right of First Refusal) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller).) Seller shall notify Company in writing of an offer that triggers this Section 1(f) (Right of First Refusal) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) and Company shall have the right to purchase the Facility for the amount of such offer on similar terms and conditions consistent with this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) and subject to PUC Approval; provided, that Company shall have one (1) month in which to notify Seller of its intent to exercise this right. If the offer of which Seller notifies Company as aforesaid is an offer to sell the Facility, Company shall have the right to purchase the Facility for the amount of such offer

P-3


on similar terms and conditions. If the offer of which Seller notifies Company as aforesaid is an offer to sell an ownership interest that could result in a Change in Control, Company shall have the right to purchase the Facility by a price that is proportionate to the amount at which such ownership interest was offered on the terms and conditions to be negotiated by the Parties on the basis of Section 4 (Purchase and Sale Agreement) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), and otherwise consistent with this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller). (By way of example, if a 75% ownership Interest is being offered for sale at $75, the proportionate amount at which Company shall have the right to purchase the Facility would be $100.)

2. Company's Right of First Negotiation to Purchase at End of Term.

(a) Option of Exclusive Negotiation Period. Company shall have the option of an exclusive negotiation period to negotiate a purchase of the Facility on the last Day of the Term, and all rights of Seller therein or relating thereto. Company shall indicate its preliminary interest in exercising the option for exclusive negotiation by delivering to Seller a notice of its preliminary interest not less than two (2) years prior to the last Day of the Term. If Company fails to deliver such notice by such date, Company's option shall terminate.

(b) Negotiations. Once Company has given such notice of preliminary interest to Seller, for a period not to exceed three (3) months, Company shall have the exclusive right to negotiate in good faith with Seller, the terms of a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which Company may purchase the Facility, which purchase and sale agreement shall include, without limitation, the terms set forth in Section 4 (Purchase and Sale Agreement) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) and a price equal to the Offer Price as presented by Seller in accordance with the procedures identified in Section 1(a)(i) through (v) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller). The Parties may agree in writing to extend this period for negotiations. (Such period, as extended as aforesaid, is referred to herein as the "Exclusive Negotiation Period.") Seller shall not solicit any offers or negotiate the terms for the sale of the Facility with any other entity during the Exclusive Negotiation Period, unless, during the Exclusive Negotiation Period, Company gives written notice that such negotiations are terminated.

(c) Purchase and Sale Agreement and PUC Approval. If that Company exercises its right of exclusive negotiation under Section 2(a) (Option of Exclusive Negotiation Period) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) and the Parties conclude a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to Section 2(b) (Negotiations) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), such agreement shall contain, at a minimum, the terms set forth in Section 4 (Purchase and Sale Agreement) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), and such agreement shall be subject to PUC Approval as provided in Section 5 (PUC Approval) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller).

(d) Right of First Refusal. If the Parties fail to agree upon a sale of the Facility to Company prior to the expiration of the Exclusive Negotiation Period provided in Section 2(b) (Negotiations) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), and Seller thereafter offers to sell the Facility to a third party for less than the final amount Company had offered to purchase the Facility, Seller shall notify Company in writing of such offer and Company shall have the right to purchase the Facility for the amount of such offer and on no less favorable terms and
P-4


conditions consistent with this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) and subject to PUC Approval; provided, however, that Company shall have one (1) month in which to notify Seller of its intent to exercise this right. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any offer to purchase the Facility received from a third party more than twelve (12) months after the end of the Term.

3. Procedure to Determine Fair Market Value of the Facility.

(a) If the Parties have agreed to effectuate a sale of the Facility pursuant to Section 3.2(I)(5)(e) (Purchase Option) and are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Facility, each of Company and Seller shall engage the services of an independent appraiser experienced in appraising power generation assets similar to the Facility to determine separately the fair market value of the Facility. Subject to the appraisers' execution and delivery to Seller of a suitable confidentiality agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Seller, Seller shall provide both appraisers full access to the books, records and other information related to the Facility required to conduct such appraisal. Company shall pay all reasonable fees and costs of both appraisers, subject to Section 3(c) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller). Each of Company and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause its appraisal to be completed within two (2) months following the engagement of the independent appraisers. If for any reason (other than failure by Seller to provide full access to Company's appraiser) one of the appraisals is not completed within such two (2) month period, the results of the other, completed appraisal shall be deemed to be the Appraised Fair Market Value of the Facility. Each Party may provide to both appraisers (with copies to each other) a list of factors which the Parties suggest be taken into consideration when the appraisers generate their appraisals.

(b) Company and Seller shall exchange the results of their respective appraisals when completed and, in connection therewith, the Parties and their appraisers shall confer in an attempt to agree upon the fair market value of the Facility.

(c) If, within thirty (30) Days after completion of both appraisals, the Parties cannot agree on a fair market value for the Facility, within ten (10) Days thereafter, the first two appraisers shall by mutual consent choose a third independent appraiser, who shall be a person similarly experienced in appraising power generation assets similar to the Facility. If the first two appraisers fail to agree upon a third appraiser, such appointment shall be made by DPR upon application of either Party. The Parties shall direct the third appraiser (i) to select one of the appraisals generated by the first two appraisers as the Appraised Fair Market Value of the Facility (without compromise, aka "baseball" arbitration), and (ii) to complete his or her work within one month following his or her retention. If the third appraiser selects the appraisal originally generated by Seller's appraiser, Company shall pay the fees and costs of the third appraiser. If the third appraiser selects the appraisal originally generated by Company's appraiser, Seller shall pay the fees and costs of the third appraiser and shall pay or reimburse Company for the costs of Seller's original appraiser.

(d) The "Appraised Fair Market Value of the Facility" means the fair market value determined by appraisal pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 3(c) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) as applicable.
P-5


4. Purchase and Sale Agreement. The purchase and sale agreement ("PSA") concluded by the Parties pursuant to this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller) (as applicable) shall contain, among other provisions, the following:

(a) Seller shall, as of the closing of the sale, convey title to the Facility consistent with the state of title in existence as of the date of execution of the PSA, including all rights of Seller in the Facility or relating thereto, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, or rights of others, except any Permitted Lien;

(b) To the extent assignable or transferrable, Seller shall assign or transfer to Company all of Seller's interest in all Project Documents and Governmental Approvals that are then in effect and that are utilized for the operation or maintenance of the Facility;

(c) Seller shall execute and deliver to Company such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and other documentation as Company may reasonably request to convey title to the Facility consistent with the state of title in existence as of the date of execution of the PSA, free from all liens, claims, encumbrances, or rights of others, except any Permitted Lien;

(d) Seller shall cause all liens on the Facility for monies owed (including liens arising from Financing Documents), and any liens in favor of Seller's affiliates, to be released prior to closing on the sale of the Facility to Company;

(e) Seller shall warrant, as of the date of the closing of the sale of the Facility to Company, title to the Facility consistent with the state of title in existence as of the date of execution of the PSA, is free and clear of all other liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of others, except any Permitted Lien;

(f) Company shall have no liability for damages (including without limitation, any development and/or investment losses, liabilities or damages, and other liabilities to third parties) incurred by Seller on account of Company's purchase of the Facility, nor any other obligation to Seller except for the purchase price, and Seller shall indemnify Company against any such losses, liabilities or damages;

(g) Company shall assume all of Seller's obligations with respect to the Facility accruing from and after the date of closing on the sale of the Facility to Company, including (i) to the extent assignable, all Permits held by, for, or related to the Facility, and (ii) all of Seller's agreements with respect to the Facility provided to and approved by Company at least thirty (30) Days prior to the date of closing on the sale of the Facility to Company, except for such agreements Company has elected to terminate, in which case any related termination expenses shall be, at Company's option, paid directly by Company and deducted from the purchase price;

(h) Seller shall indemnify Company against all of Seller's obligations with respect to the Facility accruing through the date of closing the sale of the Facility to Company, and Company shall indemnify Seller against all of Company's obligations with respect to the Facility accruing from and after the date of closing on the sale of the Facility to Company;

(i) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the condition of the Facility, and Company shall purchase the Facility on an as-is basis;

(j) Seller shall warrant that, except as disclosed to and approved by Company in writing at least thirty (30) Days prior to the date of closing on the sale of the Facility to Company, the Facility has been operated by Seller in conformity with all Laws;

(k) Seller shall warrant that Seller provided full access to Company and each appraiser in connection with the procedure to determine fair market value provided in Section 3 (Procedure to Determine Fair Market Value of the Facility) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller);

(l) If applicable, Seller's lease of the Site from Company will terminate and Seller will relinquish all rights, privileges and obligations relating to such lease; and

(m) Seller shall maintain the Facility in accordance with Good Engineering and Operating Practices between appraisal and the closing date.

As used in this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), "Permitted Lien" shall mean (i) any lien for taxes not yet due or delinquent or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) any lien arising in the ordinary course of business by operation of applicable Laws with respect to a liability not yet due or delinquent or that is being contested in good faith,
(iii) all matters that are disclosed (whether or not subsequently deleted or endorsed over) on any survey, in the title policies insuring any Land Rights or in any title commitments, title reports or other title materials, (iv) any matters that would be disclosed by a complete and correct survey of the Property, (v) zoning, planning, and other similar limitations and restrictions, and all rights of any Governmental Authority to regulate the Site and/or the Facility, (vi) all matters of record,

5. PUC Approval. Any purchase and sale agreement related to the Facility entered into by the Parties is subject to approval by the PUC and the Parties' respective obligations thereunder are conditioned upon receipt of such approval, except as specifically provided otherwise therein.

(a) Company shall submit the purchase and sale agreement to the PUC for approval within thirty (30) Days after execution by both Parties, but Company does not extend any assurances that PUC approval will be obtained. Seller will provide reasonable cooperation to expedite obtaining an approval order from the PUC, including providing information requested by the PUC and parties to the PUC proceeding in which approval is being sought. Seller understands that lack of cooperation may result in Company's inability to file an application with the PUC and/or failure to receive PUC approval. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, neither Company nor Seller shall seek reconsideration, appeal, or other administrative or judicial review of any unfavorable PUC order. The Parties agree that neither Party has control
P-7


over whether or not a PUC approval order will be issued and each Party hereby assumes any and all risk arising from, or relating in any way to, the inability to obtain a satisfactory PUC order and hereby releases the other Party from any and all claims relating thereto.

(b) Seller shall seek participation without intervention in the PUC docket for approval of the purchase and sale agreement pursuant to applicable rules and orders of the PUC. The scope of Seller's participation shall be determined by the PUC. However, Seller expressly agrees to seek participation for the limited purpose and only to the extent necessary to assist the PUC in making an informed decision regarding the approval of the purchase and sale agreement. If the Seller chooses not to seek participation in the docket, then Seller expressly agrees and knowingly waives the right to claim, before the PUC, in any court, arbitration or other proceeding, that the information submitted and the application requesting the PUC approval are insufficient to meet Company's burden of justifying that the terms of the purchase and sale agreement are just and reasonable and in the public interest, or otherwise deficient in any manner for purposes of supporting the PUC's approval of the purchase and sale agreement. Seller shall not seek in the docket and Company shall not disclose any confidential information to Seller that would provide Seller with an unfair business advantage or would otherwise harm the position of others with respect to their ability to compete on equal and fair terms.

(c) In order to constitute an approval order from the PUC under this Section 5 (PUC Approval) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), the order must approve the purchase and sale agreement, Company's funding arrangements and Company's acquisition of the Facility, shall not contain any terms and conditions deemed to be unacceptable by Company, and be in a form deemed reasonable by Company in its sole, but non-arbitrary, discretion.

(d) The Final Non-Appealable Order from the PUC must be obtained within six (6) months of the submission of the purchase and sale agreement to the PUC, or any extension of such period as agreed by the Parties in writing within ten (10) Days of the expiration of the six
(6) month period; provided, however, that if the purchase and sale agreement governs a sale of the Facility executed pursuant to Section 3.2(I)(5)(e) (Purchase Option) of this Agreement, the Final Non-Appealable Order must be obtained within twelve (12) months of the submission of the purchase and agreement to the PUC, or any extension of such period as agreed by the Parties in writing within ten (10) Days of the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. The term "Final Non-appealable Order from the PUC" means an Approval Order from the PUC (i) that is not subject to appeal to any Circuit Court of the State of Hawai‘i, Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawai‘i, or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, because the period permitted for such an appeal has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal, or (ii) that was affirmed on appeal to any Circuit Court of the State of Hawai‘i, Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawai‘i, or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, or was affirmed upon further appeal or appellate process, and that is not subject to further appeal, because the jurisdictional time permitted for such an appeal and/or further appellate process such as a motion for reconsideration or an application for writ of certiorari has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal or the filing for further appellate process. Such Final Non-Appealable Order from the PUC shall constitute and be referred to as "PUC Approval" for purposes of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller).


P-8


(e) If a Final Non-Appealable Order from the PUC has not been obtained prior to the deadline provided in Section 5(b) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), either
Party may give written notice to the other Party that it does not wish to proceed further with a sale of the Facility to Company.

(f) If the Final Non-appealable Order from the PUC does not satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5(a) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller), either (i) the Parties may agree to renegotiate and submit a revised purchase and sale agreement to the PUC, or (ii) either Party may give written notice to the other Party that it does not wish to proceed further with a sale of the Facility to Company.

6. Company's Option to Purchase Pursuant to Section 3.2(I)(5)(e). Once Company has given Seller notice of Company's preliminary interest in purchasing the Facility pursuant to Section 3.2(I)(5)(e) (Purchase Option) of the Agreement, Seller and Company shall, for a period not to exceed three (3) months, negotiate in good faith the terms of a PSA pursuant to which Company may purchase the Facility, which PSA shall include, without limitation, the terms set forth in Section 4 (Purchase and Sale Agreement) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller). The Parties may agree in writing to extend this period for negotiations. Any such agreement shall be subject to PUC approval as provided in Section 5 (PUC Approval) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller). If, at the conclusion of the aforesaid three-month period (as the same may be extended as aforesaid), the Parties have not reached an agreement on the sale of the Facility to Company because the Parties cannot agree on the fair market value of the Facility, the fair market value of the Facility shall be determined in accordance with Section 3 (Procedure to Determine Fair Market Value of the Facility) of this Attachment P (Sale of Facility by Seller).

11.3 Continuation of Insurance. All policies of insurance shall provide for at least thirty (30) Days prior written cancellation notice to the Secured Party. In the event of failure by the Debtor to provide and maintain insurance as provided in this Agreement, the Secured Party may, at its option, provide such insurance and charge the amount thereof to the Debtor. The Debtor shall furnish the Secured Party with certificates of insurance and policies evidencing compliance with the foregoing insurance provision.

12. Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.

12.1 Expenses Incurred by Secured Party. In the Secured Party's discretion, if the Debtor fails to do so, the Secured Party may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, maintain any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance premiums. The Debtor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to the Debtor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making of such expenditures be construed as the waiver or cure of any Event of Default.

12.2 Secured Party's Obligations and Duties. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Debtor thereunder. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Secured Party or to which the Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times. The Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 490:9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

13. Securities and Deposits. The Secured Party may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Secured Party may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Secured Party to the Debtor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations.
Q-11


14. Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtor shall, at the request and option of the Secured Party, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Secured Party in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Secured Party or to any financial institution designated by the Secured Party as the Secured Party's agent therefor, and the Secured Party may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon the Debtor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, the Debtor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Debtor as trustee for the Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of the Debtor and shall turn the same over to the Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Secured Party to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

15. Power of Attorney.

15.1 Appointment and Powers of Secured Party. The Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent of Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Debtor or in the Secured Party's own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Debtor, without notice to or assent by the Debtor, to do the following:

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner of such Collateral for all purposes, and to do, at the Debtor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as the Debtor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to the Debtor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the Secured Party so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and
Q-12


(b) To the extent that the Debtor's authorization given in Section 3 (Authorization to File Financing Statements) of this Agreement is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect to this Agreement, with or without the Debtor's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Secured Party may deem appropriate, and to execute in the Debtor's name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require the Debtor's signature.

15.2 Ratification by Debtor. To the extent permitted by law, the Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Agreement. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

15.3 No Duty on Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party under this Agreement are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Debtor for any act or failure to act, except for the Secured Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

16. Rights and Remedies. In addition to all other rights and remedies, and without any other notice to or demand upon the Debtor, if an Event of Default shall occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party shall have, in any jurisdiction in which enforcement of this Agreement is sought, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Secured Party may, so far as the Debtor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove such Collateral from such premises. The Secured Party may in its discretion require the Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Debtor's principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Secured Party may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party shall give to the Debtor at least five Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. The Debtor hereby acknowledges that five Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, the Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

17. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable Law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party:

(a) To fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work
Q-13


in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition.

(b) To fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of.

(c) To fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral.

(d) To exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists.

(e) To advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature.

(f) To contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral.

(g) To hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature.

(h) To dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.

(i) To dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets.

(j) To disclaim disposition warranties.

(k) To purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral.

(l) To the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.

The Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 17 (Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would fulfill the Secured Party's duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 17 (Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 17 (Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtor or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not
Q-14


have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Law in the absence of this Section 17 (Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies).

18. No Waiver by Secured Party, etc. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Secured Party deems expedient.

19. Suretyship Waivers by Debtor. The Debtor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance on this Agreement and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Debtor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Secured Party may deem advisable. The Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining to the Collateral beyond the safe custody of the Collateral as set forth in Section 12.2 (Secured Party’s Obligations and Duties). The Debtor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

20. Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment of the Obligations is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

21. Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The Debtor shall pay to the Secured Party on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Secured Party in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Secured Party's rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the
Q-15


Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Secured Party may determine or in such order or preference as is provided in the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 490:9-608(a)(1)(C) or 490:9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Debtor. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, the Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

22. Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Debtor under this Agreement shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, simple interest at the Prime Rate.

23. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Hawai‘i. The Debtor agrees that any action or claim arising out of, or any dispute in connection with, this Agreement, any rights, remedies, obligations, or duties under this Agreement, or the performance or enforcement of this Agreement, may be brought in the courts of the State of Hawai‘i or any federal court sitting in the State of Hawai‘i and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon the Debtor by mail at the address specified in Section
25.1 (Notices) of the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement. The Debtor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.

24. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Debtor waives its right to a jury trial with respect to any action or claim arising out of any dispute in connection with this Agreement, any rights, remedies, obligations, or duties under this Agreement, or the performance or enforcement of this Agreement. Except as prohibited by law, the Debtor waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. The Debtor (i) certifies that neither the Secured Party nor any representative, agent or attorney of the Secured Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Secured Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers or other waivers contained in this Agreement, and (ii) acknowledges that, in entering into the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement, the Secured Party is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained in this Section 24 (Waver of Jury Trial).

25. Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions the sections. This Agreement and all rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Debtor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms of this Agreement shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included in this Agreement. The Debtor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITY

1. Standards.

a. Operation and Maintenance. Seller shall operate the Facility in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the operating procedures in this Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), and Section 2 (Operating Procedures) and Section 3 (Performance Standards) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller). After the Effective Date, Seller agrees that no changes or additions to the Facility shall be made without the prior written agreement by Company and, as necessary, amendment to the Agreement and/or any of the Attachments. Subject to those standards, Seller shall deliver to Company the available Net Electric Energy Output of the Facility under Company Dispatch and shall operate the Facility in a manner that maximizes the overall reliability of the Company System.

2. Trip Setting. The Facility shall not trip for an electrical fault or transient condition in the Company System in accordance with Section 3.e (Fault Ride Through) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller) or a resulting trip shall be considered a Unit Trip which shall count towards the number of allowable Unit Trips under Section 3.2(B)(6) (Unit Trips) and shall count against Seller’s availability for both the EAF and EFOR. An electrical fault and subsequent clearing of such a fault shall be considered one transient event.

a. Seller’s Centralized Control System. Seller shall provide and maintain in good working order all equipment, computers and software necessary to send telemetry data and place the Facility under the secure control, as approved by the Company, of Company’s Energy Management System (“EMS”). Such Seller equipment, computers and software shall be referred to as the “Seller’s Centralized Control System,” which shall be secure and compatible with Company’s SCADA, EMS and/or similar Company control devices. If at any time Seller materially changes the approved design of Seller’s Centralized Control System, such changes will also require Company’s review and prior written approval. Seller’s Centralized Control System shall include ancillary equipment and software necessary for Seller to connect to Company’s Remote Terminal Unit (“RTU”) and, at a minimum:

(1) Interface with Company’s RTU (or other specified device):

a. monitor and control both the capacity and the energy output of the Facility consistent with this Agreement;

b. as required for the Company System Operator to dispatch the Facility as specified and approved by Company;

c. for telemetry of electrical quantities such as gross MW, gross MVAR, net MW, net MVAR, power factors, voltages and currents and other quantities as identified by Company;
d. monitor and control equipment such as circuit breakers and switches and other equipment as identified by Company.
Y-1


3. Communications, Telemetering and Generator Remote Control Equipment.

a. At Seller’s expense, Company shall purchase, install and own such communications, telemetering, remote control equipment, and all equipment related thereto as may reasonably be required in order to allow Company to dispatch the electric energy from the Facility as required to optimize economic and reliable operation of the Company System.

b. In addition, at Seller’s expense, Company shall purchase, install and own communications, telemetering, and other related equipment, as Company deems appropriate, so Company can access information from Seller’s operation including, but not limited to, the information necessary for Company to utilize its EMS and information on breaker position, the number of generating units on line, the amperage produced by each generator, the voltage produced by each generator, the kWs produced by each generator, and the kVAr produced by each generator to insure that Seller maximizes the overall reliability of the Company System.

4. Protective Equipment. Seller shall operate the Facility with all applicable installed system protective equipment in service whenever the generator(s) is connected to or is operated in parallel with the Company System, except for normal testing purposes in accordance with Good Engineering and Operating Practices. Seller shall have qualified personnel test and calibrate all protective equipment at regular intervals not to exceed one (1) calendar years. A unit functional trip test (which shall include an overspeed trip test on a steam turbine) shall be performed annually in accordance with industry standards. Following a Major Generating Equipment Overhaul, a functional trip test shall be performed and shall simulate abnormal trip conditions separately at each primary element that initiates a trip and shall demonstrate that the trip system produces the appropriate equipment response. In no event shall any trip test conducted pursuant to this Section 4 (Protective Equipment) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility) constitute a Unit Trip. If at any time Company has reason to doubt the integrity of the Facility’s protective equipment and reasonably suspects that such purported loss of integrity would jeopardize the reliability of Company’s supply of electric energy to its customers, Seller shall be required to reasonably demonstrate to Company’s satisfaction the correct calibration and operation of the equipment in question. Company shall not be liable for any damage to Seller’s equipment resulting from the failure of Facility protective equipment.

5. Personnel and System Safety. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time Company reasonably determines that the Facility may endanger Company’s personnel, and/or the continued operation of the Facility may endanger the integrity of the Company System or have an adverse effect on Company’s other customers’ electric service, Company shall have the right to disconnect the Facility from the Company System, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company System Operator. The Facility shall immediately comply with the dispatch instruction, which may be initiated through remote control, and shall remain disconnected (as an Unplanned (Forced) Outage), until such time as Company is satisfied that the condition(s) referred to above have been corrected. If Company disconnects the Facility from the Company System for personnel or system safety reasons, it shall as soon as practicable notify Seller by telephone, and thereafter make reasonable efforts to
Y-2


confirm, in writing (with email being acceptable), within three (3) Days of the disconnection, the reasons for the disconnection.

6. Operating Records.

a. Seller’s Logs. Seller shall maintain, at least daily, a log in which it shall record all pertinent data that will indicate whether the Facility is being operated in accordance with Good Engineering and Operating Practices. These data logs shall include, but not be limited to, all maintenance and inspection work performed at the Facility, circuit breaker trip operations, relay operations including target indications, megavar and megawatt recording charts (and/or equivalent computer records), all unusual conditions experienced or observed and any reduced capability and the reasons therefor and duration thereof. For each individual generator unit, and using definitions provided by, and/or consistent with, NERC GADS, the data reported shall include planned derated hours, unplanned derated hours, average derated kW during the derated hours, scheduled maintenance hours, average derated kW during scheduled maintenance hours, the number of unit starts, hours on-control and hours on-line. Company shall have the right, upon reasonable notice and during regular Business Day hours to review and copy such data logs.

b. Company Access to Seller’s Logs. Seller shall provide Company access to Seller’s records which identify the priority, as internally assigned by Seller, of specific preventive or corrective maintenance activities. These records shall include items for which Seller has deferred the inspection or corrective action to a future scheduled plant outage. In addition, Seller shall provide copies of applicable correspondence between Seller and its insurers for the Facility equipment pertaining to maintenance practices, procedures and scheduling (including deferral) of maintenance at the Facility.

c. Notification of Forced Outages. Seller shall notify Company of the existence, nature, start time, and expected duration of the forced outage as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one (1) hour after the forced outage occurs. Seller shall immediately inform Company of changes in the expected duration of the forced outage unless relieved of this obligation by Company for the duration of each forced outage. In addition, Seller shall provide Company with subsequent written confirmation any time Seller experiences a Unit Trip or other unplanned outages or deratings. Such written confirmation shall contain information in sufficient detail for Company to (i) analyze the incident, including the date and time of occurrence as well as the cause of the Unit Trip, if such cause is known, the expected duration, corrective measures taken (or to be taken) by Seller, the risk of collateral damage to other equipment and/or lack of Facility availability; and (ii) confirm any claimed NERC category of availability by Seller with respect to such incident. Attachment X (Unit Incident Report) is an example of a written confirmation. Company shall have the right to request reasonable additional information if necessary to evaluate the incident.

d. Time Period for Maintaining Records. Any and all records, correspondence, memoranda and other documents or electronically recorded data related to the fueling, operation and maintenance of the Facility shall be maintained by Seller for a period of not less than six (6) years. Company shall have the right to review and copy any such items upon request.


Y-3


7. Maintenance Records.

a. Seller’s Summary of Maintenance and Inspection Performed. Prior to February 1 of each calendar year, Seller shall submit, or make available to Company for inspection at the Site, a summary in a format similar to the example provided in Attachment V (Summary of Maintenance and Inspection Performed) of all maintenance and inspection work performed in the prior calendar year, and of all conditions experienced or observed during such calendar year that may have a material adverse effect on or may materially impair the short-term or long-term operation of the Facility at the operational levels contemplated by this Agreement. The summary shall present the requested data in a meaningful and informative manner consistent with the cooperative exchange of information between the Parties. If available and practicable, such summary shall be provided in electronic format with sufficient software so that Company can group activities for specific process areas of the Facility and be able to view the maintenance history of a specific equipment item. Such summary shall also include Seller’s proposals for correcting or preventing recurrences of identified equipment problems and for performing such other maintenance and inspection work as is required by Good Engineering and Operating Practices.

b. Company’s Written Recommendations. Within sixty (60) Days of receiving such summary, and after any reasonable inspection desired by Company of the Facility and consultation with Seller, Company may provide written recommendations for specific operation or maintenance actions or for changes in the operation or maintenance program of the Facility. Company’s making or failing to make recommendations with respect to operation and maintenance of the Facility shall not be construed as endorsing the operation and maintenance thereof or as any warranty of the safety, durability or reliability of the Facility nor as a waiver of any Company right. If Seller agrees with Company, Seller shall, within a reasonable time after Company makes such recommendations, not to exceed ninety (90) Days (or such longer period as reasonably agreed to by the Parties), implement Company’s recommendations. If Seller disagrees with Company, it shall within ten (10) Days inform Company of alternatives it will take to accomplish the same intent, or provide Company with a reasonable explanation as to why no action is required by Good Engineering and Operating Practices. If Company disagrees with Seller’s position, a Qualified Independent Engineering Company will be chosen from the Qualified Independent Engineers List pursuant to Section 3.3(D)(1)(b) and the Qualified Independent Engineering Company will make a recommendation to remedy the situation pursuant to such Independent Engineering Assessment. Seller shall abide by the Qualified Independent Engineering Company’s recommendation contained in such Independent Engineering Assessment. Both Parties shall equally share in the cost for the Independent Engineering Assessment. However, Seller shall pay all costs associated with implementing the recommendation contained in such Independent Engineering Assessment.

8. Schedule of Outages.

a. 60-Month Schedule. Prior to April 1 of each year, Seller shall submit for review and comment by Company an initial schedule of expected electric energy delivery periods for the sixty (60) month period beginning with January of the following calendar year (the “60-Month Schedule”). The 60-Month Schedule shall supersede any previous 60-Month Schedule and state the periods of operation, the dates and duration of all scheduled shutdowns, reductions of output,
Y-4


and scheduled maintenance, and the reasons therefor, including the scope of work for the maintenance requiring shutdown or reduction in output of the Facility. Seller shall (i) revise such 60-Month Schedule to accommodate reasonable requests made by Company no later than December 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which a scheduled revision is requested to take place; provided that, if the requested revision is one of timing, the revised date(s) shall be within the same calendar year as scheduled, so long as such revised schedule is consistent with Good Engineering and Operating Practices and does not, or is not reasonably likely to, have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Facility; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Good Engineering and Operating Practices, to accommodate any subsequent changes in such 60-Month Schedule (either delaying or advancing such 60-Month Schedule) reasonably requested by Company if Company is experiencing or expecting to experience a short-term shortage of supply of energy, capacity or both or any other operational or electrical problems with the Company System.

b. Company’s Replacement Costs. If the actual duration of a planned outage for the Facility exceeds the scheduled time planned for such outage, Seller shall pay to Company the difference between Company’s costs for the unscheduled replacement energy and the energy costs, including but not limited to Fuel costs, that would have been incurred if the Facility had produced the energy for the entire time the unscheduled replacement energy was necessary. Replacement costs in these cases will be for the specific equipment which Company designates as having produced such replacement energy. This provision shall not apply if Seller demonstrates that the extension is due to the discovery and prompt reporting to Company of a major equipment problem which Seller could not have reasonably anticipated prior to beginning the outage, provided that, following the discovery Seller makes commercially reasonable efforts (to include, but not be limited to, supplemental manpower, extended overtime, expedited work by service shops, and expedited shipment of parts and material) to take measures which will return the Facility to service as soon as possible.

c. Scheduling. Subject to Good Engineering and Operating Practices, Seller shall not schedule routine maintenance that will reduce or eliminate electrical output of the Facility without coordination with Company and shall notify Company at least thirty (30) days prior to removing the Facility from service for such routine maintenance. The routine maintenance requirements for the Facility are:
“A” Inspection - 10 to 12 hours per combustion turbine - performed every 4,000
Equivalent Operating Hours during wash cycle or as part of "B" or
“C” inspection.
“B” Inspection -7 days per combustion turbine - performed every 8,000 Equivalent
Operating Hours or as part of "C" inspection.
“C” Inspection -50 days per combustion turbine - performed every 16,000
Equivalent Operating Hours (includes steam turbine maintenance
for twenty-five (25) days).

d. Extraordinary Operations. Subject only to Good Engineering and Operating Practices and minimum requirements of the steam customer under the Steam Sales Contract,
Y-5


during any period in which Company notifies Seller that Company is experiencing or expecting to experience a shortage of supply of energy or capacity or both or any other operational or electrical problems on Company's electrical system, Seller shall use all reasonable efforts (including but not limited to delaying a "B" or "C" inspection) to stand ready to generate or deliver all electric energy up to the Contract Firm Capacity. Seller shall reschedule any planned outage at the earliest possible date following the termination of the shortage or other problem on the Company System, and shall not be entitled to the Degradation Exemption provided for in Section 8.e (Degradation Exemption) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility) after five (5) days following such termination, unless both Parties agree.

e. Degradation Exemption. If Seller delays a turbine washing or a scheduled "B" or "C" inspection pursuant to a Company request under Section 8.d (Extraordinary Operations) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), any degradation in Facility performance occurring during the period from the date on which such scheduled inspection was to have begun until the date on which it actually begins shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of calculating (a) the Equivalent Availability Factor or the Equivalent Forced Outage Rate in accordance with Section 3.2(B)(1) (Equivalent Availability Factor) or Section 3.2(B)(2) (Equivalent Forced Outage Rate) or (b) the Capacity Charge in Section 5.1(D) (Capacity Charge).

f. Normal Annual Maintenance Requirements. The normal annual maintenance requirements for the Facility are the equivalent of 17.5 Days of full plant outage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not take units down for maintenance except with the Company’s approval. During any scheduled or rescheduled maintenance event, Seller shall provide updates to Company's operating personnel if there are any delays or changes to the proposed schedule, and shall promptly respond to any requests from Company for updates regarding the status of such maintenance event.

g. Approval By Company. Seller shall not schedule any maintenance not listed on the 60-Month Schedule that will reduce or eliminate electric output of the Facility without coordination with and approval of Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Company with as much advance notice as is practicable prior to removing the Facility from service for such maintenance to allow a reasonable amount of time for Company to make generation adjustments required by the loss or reduction in electric output of the Facility. Such removal from service will be treated as a forced outage if so required under NERC GADS.

h. Duration of Planned Outage. If the actual duration of a planned outage for the Facility is shorter than the scheduled time planned for such outage, Seller shall not be allowed to restart the Facility and be synchronized to Company System prior to the scheduled time without the prior consent of the Company System Operator. If, in the Company System Operator’s sole discretion, Seller is allowed to restart the Facility and be synchronized to Company System prior to the scheduled time, Seller shall be compensated for the energy produced by the Facility and delivered to Company as provided in Section 5.1(C) (Energy Charge). However, the Facility’s production and delivery of energy prior to the scheduled ending date of the planned outage shall have no effect on the calculation of EAF, EFOR or the Capacity Charge.

Y-6


9. Operating and Maintenance Manuals. Not later than the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Company with (i) any and all manufacturer’s equipment manuals and recommendations for maintenance and with any updates or supplements thereto within three (3) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the same and (ii) a copy of the Operating and Maintenance Manual and shall thereafter provide Company with any amendments thereto within three (3) Business Days after such amendment is adopted.

10. Facility Personnel. Seller shall ensure that personnel capable of starting, operating, and stopping the Facility shall be continuously available, either at the Facility or capable of being at the Facility on no more than thirty (30) minutes' notice, and shall be continuously reachable by phone or pager. If Company notifies Seller of a period of potentially critical turbine starts at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the beginning of such period, then personnel capable of starting, running, and stopping the Facility shall be continuously available at the Facility during such identified critical period. Personnel capable of starting, operating, and stopping the Facility shall be continuously available at the Facility twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.

11. Seller’s Obligation to Maintain Workforce. If Seller experiences a work stoppage, work slowdown or walkout as a result of a labor dispute with its employees, or between any entity with which Seller has subcontracted or to which Seller or any affiliate of Seller has assigned its rights and obligations, pursuant to the operation and maintenance contract between Seller and any affiliate of Seller, and the employees of such entity, Seller shall provide an adequate, qualified workforce to operate and maintain the Facility within ninety-six (96) hours after such stoppage, slowdown or walkout begins. If Seller experiences a work stoppage, work slowdown or walkout as a result of a storm, casualty or other catastrophic event, Seller shall provide an adequate, qualified workforce to operate and maintain the Facility within twenty-four (24) hours after such event ends and it is reasonably safe to restore operations and maintenance of the Facility. If Seller fails to meet either of these obligations, it shall pay to Company pursuant to Section 9.2(E) (Damages in the Event Seller Fails to Maintain Workforce) the sum of $5,000 for each Day or partial Day during which such adequate, qualified workforce was not provided and there is a reduction in output below the level called for by normal Company Dispatch. Seller shall provide prompt written notice to Company as to the date and time at which it has met this obligation. If, at any time after the aforesaid ninety-six (96) hour period or twenty-four (24) hour period, as applicable, has expired, but during the continuation of Seller work stoppage, slowdown or walkout, the Facility is experiencing a reduction in output below the level called for by normal Company Dispatch, it shall be presumed that such reduction is the result of a lack of an adequate, qualified workforce unless Seller proves to Company’s satisfaction, or, in the event of a dispute pursuant to Article 17 (Dispute Resolution), Seller proves in such an arbitration, that such reduction is attributable to other causes.

12. Facility Security and Maintenance. Seller is responsible for securing the Facility. Seller shall have personnel available to respond to all calls related to security incidents and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any security incidents. Seller is also responsible for maintaining the facility, including vegetation management, to prevent security breaches. Seller shall comply with all commercially reasonable requests of Company to update security and/or maintenance if required to prevent security breaches.

13. Metering.

a. Meters.

(1) Seller shall furnish, install and maintain in accordance with Company’s requirements and at no charge to Company, all conductors, service switches, fuses, meter sockets and cases, switchboard meter test switches, meter panels, steel structures and similar devices required for service connection and meter installations as provided in Section 1.e. (Other Equipment) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller).

(2) Company shall purchase, own, install and maintain the Revenue Metering Package suitable for measuring the export of Net Electric Energy Output from the Facility sold to Company in kilowatts and kilowatt-hours on a time-of-day basis and of reactive power flow in kilovars and true root mean square kilovar-hours. The metering point has been installed as close as possible to the Point of Interconnection as allowed by Company. Company shall test such revenue meter annually. Seller shall reimburse Company for all reasonably incurred costs for procurement, installation, maintenance (including maintenance replacements) and testing work associated with the Revenue Metering Package. Seller may, at its own expense, monitor (by electronic means or otherwise) any meters described in this Section 13.a (Meters) of this Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility).

b. Meter Testing. Company shall provide at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to Seller prior to any test it may perform on the revenue meters or metering equipment. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during each such test. Either Party may request additional tests in addition to the annual test provided for in Section 13.a.(2) of this Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility) and shall pay the cost of such additional test. If any of the revenue meters or metering equipment is found to be inaccurate at any time, as determined by testing in accordance with this Section 13.b (Meter Testing) of this Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility), Company shall promptly cause such equipment to be made accurate, and the period of inaccuracy, as well as the estimate for correct meter readings, shall be determined in accordance with Section 13.c. (Corrections) of this Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility).

c. Corrections. If any test of revenue meters or metering equipment conducted by Company indicates that its revenue meter readings are in error by one percent (1%) or more, the revenue meters or meter readings shall be corrected as follows: (i) determine the error by testing the revenue meter at approximately ten percent (10%) of the rated current (test amperes) specified for such revenue meter; (ii) determine the error by testing the revenue meter at approximately one hundred percent (100%) of the rated current (test amperes) specified for the revenue meter; (iii) the average meter error shall then be computed as the sum of (aa) one-fifth (1/5) the error determined in the foregoing clause "(i)" and (bb) four-fifths (4/5) of the error determined in the foregoing clause "(ii)". The average meter error shall be used to adjust the invoices in accordance with Section 6.4 (Adjustments) for the amount of electric energy supplied to Company for the previous six (6) months from the Facility, unless Company’s records conclusively establish that such error existed for a greater or lesser period, in which case the correction shall cover such actual period of error.

14. Fuel and Other Materials.
Y-8


a. Fuel. Seller assumes full risk and responsibility for acquiring long-term firm supplies of fuel and other necessary materials and transportation therefor for the Term of this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for acquiring, transporting and storing at the Facility adequate supplies of Fuel and other materials used in the operation of the Facility during the Term. An adequate supply of Fuel shall include sufficient Fuel to operate the Facility at full load for at least seven (7) Days on-site at the Facility, , and an additional supply of Fuel to operate the Facility at full load for at least fourteen (14) Days off- site from the Facility but on the island of O‘ahu, which shall be determined by Seller in good faith based upon (i) the average level of Company Dispatch during the previous six (6) months and (ii) the expected level of Company Dispatch during the following month as indicated by Company.

b. Fuel Report. Seller shall be responsible for providing Company with a Fuel Report, in a format acceptable to Company pursuant to Section 2.3(A)(4)(a) (Executed Project Documents), which demonstrates Seller’s ability to support the operation of the Facility pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement for the Term of the Agreement. If Company determines in its sole discretion that the Fuel Report fails to demonstrate Seller’s ability to support the operation of the Facility, Company will discuss with Seller any perceived need to modify its Fuel Report and shall have the right to direct Seller to take all actions required to ensure that Seller has the ability to support operation of the Facility as set forth in this Agreement.

c. Audit Rights for Inspection of Fuel Storage. Company shall have the right throughout the Term, and following the end of the Term, upon reasonable prior notice, to
(i) inspect the Fuel stored at the Facility, and (ii) audit the books and records of Seller to verify Seller’s compliance with Section 14.a (Fuel) of this Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility). Seller shall make such records available at its offices in Hawai‘i during normal business hours.

e. Low Fuel Supply. A finding of partial unavailability calculated pursuant to EAF shall be made at the end of the current Contract Year if Company determines in its sole discretion that Company must lower its dispatch due to Seller’s failure to maintain an adequate Fuel supply pursuant to Section 14.a (Fuel) of Attachment Y (Operation and Maintenance of the Facility).

b. This Option is intended specifically to address a Fuel Conversion and supplements of existing fuel supply that become necessary or desirable to allow flexibility with respect to fuels, fuel storage, and fuel inventory to meet changing needs, and as necessary to meet the requirements of the RPS Law, greenhouse gas reduction requirements, or State of Hawai‘i energy policy objectives, and is not intended to provide a means for either Party to renegotiate any other terms of the Agreement.

2. TERM

The Option may be exercised at any time during the Term; provided, however that the terms and conditions of any Fuel Conversion Agreement agreed to between the Parties pursuant to this Attachment BB (Option for Conversion to Alternative Fuel) (a) shall be submitted by Company to the PUC for approval no later than two (2) years prior to the expiration of the Term; and (b) shall have no effect without PUC approval. The Option may be exercised no more than one (1) time at Company’s sole discretion; provided, however, that, in the event the Parties are unable to agree on and enter into a Fuel Conversion Agreement following Company’s exercise of its one-time, discretionary Option, the Company shall nevertheless have the right to subsequently require Seller to accomplish a Fuel Conversion in accordance with this Attachment BB (Option for Conversion to Alternative Fuel), if such conversion is required by law.

3. PROCESS FOR EXERCISE OF OPTION

a. Notice of Intent to Exercise Fuel Conversion Option. If Company reasonably concludes that a Fuel Conversion is necessary or important for the operation of the Company System and such Fuel Conversion is capable of being performed by Seller, Company may deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to exercise the Option ("NOI"). The NOI will specify the relevant desired parameters of the Fuel Conversion, which shall include type of fuel and/or mix of fuels, fuel storage capability, level of fuel inventory, volumetric range for the fuel, and rate of fuel deliveries.

b. Fuel Conversion Proposal. Seller shall, within ninety (90) Days after receipt of the NOI (or such other period of time as Company and Seller may agree in writing), submit to Company a Fuel Conversion proposal responsive to the NOI ("Fuel Conversion Proposal"). The Fuel Conversion Proposal shall include Seller's proposal for the contents of the Fuel Conversion Deliverables and such supporting information as necessary to provide an understanding of the Fuel Conversion Proposal.
BB-1


c. Discussion of Fuel Conversion Proposal. Upon receipt of a Fuel Conversion Proposal submitted in response to an NOI, Company will evaluate such Fuel Conversion Proposal, and Seller shall assist Company in performing such evaluation as and to the extent reasonably requested by Company, including, but not limited to, providing such additional information as Company may reasonably request. For a period of ninety (90) Days (or such longer time as the Parties agree in writing), the Parties will discuss and negotiate the terms proposed in the Fuel Conversion Proposal with the intent to enter into a Fuel Conversion Agreement.

d. Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal. If, at the end of the 90-Day period described in Section 3.c (Discussion of Fuel Conversion Proposal) above (or such longer time as agreed in writing), the Parties have not agreed upon and entered into a Fuel Conversion Agreement, then Company shall submit to Seller a counter-proposal to Seller’s Fuel Conversion Proposal ("Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal"). The Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal shall include Company’s proposal for the contents of the Fuel Conversion Deliverables and such supporting information as necessary to provide an understanding of the Fuel Conversion Proposal.

e. Discussion of Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal. Upon receipt of a Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal, Seller will evaluate such Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal, and Company shall assist Seller in performing such evaluation as and to the extent reasonably requested by Seller, including, but not limited to, providing such additional information as Seller may reasonably request. For a period of ninety (90) Days (or such longer time as the parties agree in writing), the Parties will discuss and negotiate the terms proposed in the Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal with the intent to enter into a Fuel Conversion Agreement.

f. Final Fuel Conversion Proposals. If, at the end of the 90-Day period described in Section 3.e (Discussion of Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal) above (or such longer time as agreed in writing), the Parties have not agreed upon and entered into a Fuel Conversion Agreement, then, within ninety (90) Days after the end of the 90-Day period described in Section
3.e (Discussion of Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal) above (or such longer time as agreed in writing), Company may elect to commence the procedure for determination by the Independent Evaluator described in Section 3.g (Determination by Independent Evaluator) below by delivering written notice to that effect to Seller. In connection with such procedure, each Party shall submit to the other Party a final Fuel Conversion proposal ("Final Fuel Conversion Proposal"). Each Party’s Final Fuel Conversion Proposal shall include such Party's proposal for the contents of the Fuel Conversion Deliverables and such supporting information as necessary to provide an understanding of such Party’s Final Fuel Conversion Proposal.

iii. Time to Decision. Within one hundred eighty (180) Days of appointment, the Independent Evaluator shall render a decision unless the Independent Evaluator determines it needs to have additional time, not to exceed ninety (90) Days, to render a decision.

iv. Participation by the Parties. The Parties shall assist the Independent Evaluator throughout the process of conducting its review, including making key personnel and records available to the Independent Evaluator, but neither Party shall be entitled to participate in any meetings with personnel of the other Party or review of the other Party's records. However, the Independent Evaluator will have the right to conduct meetings, hearings or oral arguments in which both Parties are represented. Prior to the decision of the Independent Evaluator, the Parties may meet with each other during the review process to negotiate a resolution of the dispute on mutually acceptable terms.

v. Decision. The decision of the Independent Evaluator shall be known as the "Independent Evaluator Proposal" and shall consist of one of the two Final Fuel Conversion Proposals, with or without modifications as recommended by the Independent Evaluator, or if only one Final Fuel Conversion Proposal was submitted the Independent Evaluator Proposal shall consist of such Final Fuel Conversion Proposal, with or without modifications as recommended by the Independent Evaluator. The modifications recommended by the Independent Evaluator shall be based on the technical or operational feasibility of both Parties to comply with the applicable Final Fuel Conversion Proposal. The decision of the Independent Evaluator shall include the recommended Fuel Conversion Deliverables. In addition, the Independent Evaluator shall render a decision that sets forth the positions of the Parties and the Independent Evaluator’s rationale for its decisions on disputed issues.

vi. Fees and Costs. The fees and costs of the Independent Evaluator shall be paid by Company up to the first $30,000 of such fees and costs; above those amounts, the Party that is not the prevailing Party shall be responsible for any such fees and costs; provided that if neither Party is the prevailing Party, then the fees and costs of the Independent Evaluator above
$30,000 shall be borne equally by the Parties. The Independent Evaluator in rendering his or her decision shall also state which Party prevailed over the other Party or that neither Party prevailed over the other.

h. Acceptance or Rejection. Within thirty (30) Days after issuance of the decision of the Independent Evaluator, Company shall notify Seller whether Company accepts or rejects the Independent Evaluator Proposal. If Company rejects the Independent Evaluator Proposal, then no Fuel Conversion shall occur. If Company accepts the Independent Evaluator Proposal, then Company and Seller shall have forty-five (45) Days after Company's issuance of the aforesaid acceptance of the Independent Evaluator Proposal (or such longer period as Company and Seller may agree in writing) within which to finalize and execute a Fuel Conversion Agreement, which may include mutually agreed changes to the form of Fuel Conversion Agreement included as part of the Independent Evaluator Proposal. If a Fuel Conversion Agreement has not been executed by Company and Seller within the aforesaid 45-Day period (or such longer period as Company and Seller may agree in writing), then the form of Fuel Conversion Agreement included as part of the Independent Evaluator Proposal shall be final and binding between the parties without Seller's signature, subject only to the Section 3.j (PUC Fuel Conversion Order),
BB-4


and, upon satisfaction of the condition set forth in said Section 3.j (PUC Fuel Conversion Order), shall constitute an amendment to the Agreement.

i. Fuel Conversion Agreement. If, at any time during the procedures described above, Company desires to accept the Fuel Conversion Proposal, Seller desires to accept the Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal, or either Party desires to accept the other Party's Final Fuel Conversion Proposal, or the Parties reach agreement during their negotiations, then the Parties shall proceed to negotiate in good faith a Fuel Conversion Agreement setting forth the specific changes to the Agreement that are necessary to implement such Fuel Conversion.

j. PUC Fuel Conversion Order.

i. Approval of the Fuel Conversion Agreement. No Fuel Conversion Agreement shall constitute an amendment to the Agreement unless and until a PUC Fuel Conversion Order issued with respect to such Fuel Conversion Agreement has become non- appealable. Once the condition of the preceding sentence has been satisfied, such Fuel Conversion Agreement shall constitute an amendment to the Agreement. To be "non- appealable" under this Section 3.j (PUC Fuel Conversion Order), such PUC Fuel Conversion Order shall be either (i) not subject to appeal to any Circuit Court of the State of Hawai‘i, Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawai‘i or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, because the Appeal Period has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal, or
(ii) affirmed on appeal to any Circuit Court, Intermediate Court of Appeals, or the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i, or affirmed upon further appeal or appellate process, and is not subject to further appeal, because the jurisdictional time permitted for such an appeal (and/or further appellate process such as a motion for reconsideration or an application for writ of certiorari) has passed without the filing of notice of such an appeal (or the filing for further appellate process).

ii. Relationship to Fuel Supply Agreement. The Parties recognize that the fuel to be supplied pursuant to the Fuel Conversion Agreement, once approved by the PUC as aforesaid, may require an amendment to the then existing fuel supply contract between Seller and the fuel supplier, or a new fuel supply contract with the fuel supplier. In either case, the Parties also recognize that Company's consent to such amendment or to such new fuel supply will be required, including the obtaining by Company of a Non-Appealable PUC Approval Order approving such Company consent.

k. Company’s Rights. The right to issue an NOI under Section 3.a (Notice of Intent to Exercise Fuel Conversion Option) is exclusive to Company. While Seller may submit to Company from time to time information that might lead to the issuance of an NOI, Seller shall not have a right to initiate an NOI or a Fuel Conversion Proposal or to initiate a determination by the Independent Evaluator under Section 3.g (Determination by Independent Evaluator). Company shall have no obligation to evaluate a proposal submitted at Seller's own initiative.

l. Parties May Agree on Different Process. The Parties may agree to employ a process to reach agreement on a Fuel Conversion Agreement other than the process described above, PROVIDED HOWEVER, that in no event shall any Fuel Conversion Agreement become
BB-5


effective or be construed to amend the Agreement without the existence of a non-appealable PUC Fuel Conversion Order as described in Section 3.j (PUC Fuel Conversion Order) above.

m. Costs of Proposals. Each Party shall be responsible for its costs of preparation and review of the Fuel Conversion Proposal, Fuel Conversion Counter-Proposal, Final Fuel Conversion Proposal, Independent Evaluator Proposal and Fuel Conversion Agreement, except that if either Party brings a claim against the other Party for failure to comply with this Option pursuant to Article 17 (Dispute Resolution) of the Agreement, then such costs may be claimed as part of the Party's damages.
