AMENDMENT
TO
Executed
by
PUBLIC
UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 OF
XXXXXXX
COUNTY, WASHINGTON
AND
PUGET
SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
THIS AMENDMENT is made and
entered into as of the 9th day of February, 1965 between Public Utility District
No. 1 of Xxxxxxx County, Washington (hereinafter called “Xxxxxxx”), a
municipal corporation of the State of Washington, and Puget Sound Power &
Light Company (hereinafter called the “Purchaser”), a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Washington:
W
i t n e s s e t h :
Whereas,
Xxxxxxx and the Purchaser have heretofore entered into a contract (hereinafter
called the “Power Sales Contract”), as of the 18th day of September, 1963, and
Xxxxxxx and the other three Purchasers have heretofore entered into similar
contracts, to provide for the sale by Xxxxxxx, and the purchase by the
Purchasers, of power and energy to be produced by the Xxxxx Project in excess of
the amounts required to provide for the actual and prospective needs of Xxxxxxx;
and
Whereas,
Xxxxxxx holds a license, issued July 12, 1962, as amended, from the Federal
Power Commission for Project No. 2149 which, together with an order of said
Commission, permits the inclusion in the electric generating plant of three
generating units in addition to the initial seven generating units included
therein; and
Whereas,
Xxxxxxx proposes to issue additional bonds to provide funds for defraying the
cost of acquisition, construction and installation of such three additional
generating units; the First Bond Resolution permits additional bonds to be
issued for such purpose, payable from the revenues of the Project on a parity
with the 1963 Bonds and secured by an equal charge and lien on such revenues;
and the First Bond Resolution requires, among other things, as conditions
precedent to the issuance of such additional bonds that Xxxxxxx shall have in
effect contracts for the sale of power and energy available from such additional
generating units, which contracts, among other things, shall contain terms with
respect to payments for such power and energy, no less favorable to Xxxxxxx than
the terms of the Power Sales Contracts; and
Whereas,
Xxxxxxx and the Purchasers desire to amend the Power Sales Contracts to provide
for the sale and purchase of the additional power and energy available from such
three additional generating units upon the same terms and conditions as are
applicable to the sale and purchase of the power and energy available from the
initial seven generating units; and
Whereas,
Xxxxxxx has the responsibility and the authority for the financing, construction
and operation of such three additional generating units;
Now,
Therefore, For and in Consideration of the Mutual Covenants and Agreements
Herein Contained, It is Agreed by and Between the Parties Hereto as
Follows:
