AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 22, 2019, is by and between (i) OGLETHORPE POWER CORPORATION (AN ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION), an electric membership corporation organized and existing under the laws of Georgia (the “Borrower”) and (ii) the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, acting by and through the Secretary of Energy (or appropriate authorized representative thereof), for itself as guarantor of the Advances (as defined herein) (in such capacity, “DOE” or the “Guarantor”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Borrower, together with each of the other Owners, intends to expand the facilities at the existing nuclear power generating facility commonly known as the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Electric Generating Plant located in Xxxxx County, Georgia, near Waynesboro, Georgia, on the west bank of the Savannah River, by developing, constructing, owning, operating and maintaining two additional nuclear generating units, consisting of two Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors, each with a nominally rated generating capacity of approximately 1,100 megawatts, natural draft cooling towers, intake and discharge structures, associated transmission facilities, fuel and ancillary structures supporting the power generation process (together, the “Project”), located adjacent to such existing facility.

WHEREAS, for the purpose of financing a portion of its ownership interest in the Project the Borrower, FFB and DOE entered into the Original FFB Note Purchase Agreement to evidence FFB’s agreement to (A) make Advances in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed three billion fifty-seven million sixty-nine thousand four hundred sixty-one Dollars ($3,057,069,461) and (B) purchase from the Borrower the Original FFB Promissory Notes evidencing the Borrower’s obligation to repay such Advances.

WHEREAS, the Guarantor guaranteed all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Original FFB Promissory Notes pursuant to the Original DOE Guarantee.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Loan Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2014, by and between the Borrower and DOE, the Borrower agreed to reimburse the Guarantor for any payments made by the Guarantor to FFB under the Original DOE Guarantee.

WHEREAS, the EPC Contractor filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., and the fixed-price EPC Contract was rejected in connection with those proceedings.

WHEREAS, on behalf of the Owners, the Owners’ Agent has entered into the Services Agreement and the Construction Completion Agreement to replace the EPC Contract on a non-fixed-price basis, which will result in the Owners incurring Project Costs in excess of those anticipated on the Original Guarantee Issuance Date.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Owners’ Agent’s entry into the Services Agreement and the Construction Completion Agreement, the Owners’ Agent has entered into an amendment of the Letter Agreement for Construction Services to expand the scope of services thereunder.

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, for the purpose of financing a portion of its ownership interest in the Project, that:

(i) FFB enter into the Additional FFB Note Purchase Agreement to evidence its agreement to make Advances in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed one billion six hundred nineteen million six hundred seventy-nine thousand seven hundred six Dollars ($1,619,679,706) in addition to the three billion fifty-seven million sixty-nine thousand four hundred and sixty-one Dollars ($3,057,069,461) evidenced under the Original FFB Note Purchase Agreement;

(ii) FFB purchase from the Borrower the Additional FFB Promissory Note evidencing the Borrower’s obligation to repay such Advances; and

(iii) the Guarantor guarantee all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Additional FFB Promissory Note pursuant to the Additional DOE Guarantee;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has entered into that certain Mortgage Indenture, pursuant to which the Borrower has granted security title to, and a security interest in, substantially all of its real and tangible personal property and certain of its intangible property to secure its obligations under each of the Original FFB Promissory Notes and the Original DOE Reimbursement Notes and to secure certain other indebtedness, and now wishes to supplement the Mortgage Indenture in order to secure its obligations under the Additional FFB Promissory Note and the Additional DOE Reimbursement Note under the Mortgage Indenture.

WHEREAS, the execution of this Agreement is a condition precedent to DOE’s issuance of the Additional DOE Guarantee, and FFB’s receipt of the Additional DOE Guarantee is a condition precedent to FFB’s execution of the Additional FFB Credit Facility Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, DOE’s entering into this Agreement, and other good and valid consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

2.2. Availability of Advances.

2.2.1. Availability.

Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by DOE) of each applicable condition precedent set forth in this Agreement and satisfaction (or waiver by FFB) of each applicable condition precedent in the FFB Credit Facility Documents, Advances shall only be made during the Availability Period.

2.2.2. FFB Credit Facility Commitment Reductions and Cancellations.

The Borrower may, on not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice to DOE and upon the satisfaction of any consent requirement or other applicable provisions of each FFB Credit Facility Document, permanently cancel or reduce the unutilized portions of the FFB Credit Facility Commitment, in whole or in part, if:

(a) each partial reduction is in an amount permitted under the FFB Credit Facility Documents;

(b) the Borrower certifies in writing that such reduction would not reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Project to be completed by the Anticipated Completion Date; and

(c) upon such cancellation or reduction, the Borrower pays all fees, Periodic Expenses, and other amounts then due with respect to such cancellation or reduction under the Loan Documents.

Once reduced or canceled, the FFB Credit Facility Commitment, or cancelled portion thereof, shall not be increased or reinstated.

2.2.3. No Obligation to Make Advances.

Nothing in this Agreement obligates the Secured Parties to make Advances to the Borrower. Advances will be made solely by FFB pursuant to the FFB Credit Facility Documents.

(a) Mechanics for Requesting Advances. The Borrower may request an Advance by delivering to DOE, with a copy to the Lender’s Engineer, an appropriately completed Advance Notice with respect to such Advance at any time not less than (i) eighteen (18) Business Days prior to the Requested Advance Date in the case of an Advance in an amount less than $500,000,000, (ii) twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Requested Advance Date in the case of an Advance in an amount equal to or greater than $500,000,000 and less than $2,000,000,000, and (iii) twenty-five (25) Business Days prior to the Requested Advance Date in the case of an Advance in an amount equal to or greater than $2,000,000,000. Without DOE’s written consent, the Borrower may not request an Advance more frequently than once per calendar quarter; provided that the Borrower may make the initial request for an Advance under the Additional FFB Credit Facility Documents concurrently with a request for an Advance of the remaining FFB Credit Facility Commitment under the Original FFB Credit Facility Documents and such requests shall be deemed to be one request.

(b) Advance Notice. Each Advance Notice shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit F or otherwise in form and substance acceptable to DOE.

2.3. Mechanics for Funding Advances.

2.3.1. Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. If DOE determines that (i) the Advance Notice has been satisfactorily completed, (ii) all conditions precedent set forth in Article 4 (Conditions Precedent to Advances) applicable to the requested Advance have been satisfied (or waived) and (iii) the FFB Advance Request and all other certificates and documentation required under the FFB Credit Facility Documents in respect of the requested Advance have been provided and are satisfactory (or have been waived), then, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days from DOE’s receipt of the Advance Notice with respect to such Advance (or such shorter period as agreed by DOE in its sole discretion), DOE shall sign the FFB Advance Request Approval Notice attached to the FFB Advance Request accompanying such Advance Notice, and deliver it together with such FFB Advance Request to FFB with a copy to the Borrower and the Lender’s Engineer.

2.3.2. Drawstop Notices.

(a) Issuance. At any time after DOE delivers an FFB Advance Request Approval Notice together with the FFB Advance Request to FFB and prior to the FFB’s making of the Advance requested therein, regardless of whether DOE has signed such FFB Advance Request Approval Notice, DOE may deliver a notice (a “Drawstop Notice”) to FFB pursuant to Section 7.4(d) of the applicable FFB Note Purchase Agreement or otherwise pursuant to the FFB Credit Facility Documents, if DOE has determined that:

(i) the conditions in Article 4 (Conditions Precedent to Advances) with respect to such Advance are not met or, having been met, are no longer met; or

(ii) the conditions precedent to such Advance contained in the FFB Credit Facility Documents are not met or, having been met, are no longer met.

(b) Consequences. If a Drawstop Notice is timely delivered to FFB, the requested Advance shall not be made unless DOE shall have delivered a notice to FFB indicating that DOE has withdrawn such Drawstop Notice (such notice, a “Drawstop Withdrawal Notice”). The issuance of a Drawstop Notice shall not preclude the Borrower from resubmitting an Advance Notice within the same or subsequent calendar quarter (notwithstanding Section 2.2.3(a) (Mechanics for Requesting Advances)) with respect to all or any portion of the same Advance.

(c) Costs. The Borrower shall pay all expenses incurred by DOE, FFB and the Trustee (including all fees and Periodic Expenses of the Independent Consultants) in respect of any Advance that is not made due to the issuance of a Drawstop Notice.

(d) Copies to Borrower; No Effect on Validity. Subject to Section 2.3.3 (No Liability), DOE shall provide a copy of each Drawstop Notice and Drawstop Withdrawal Notice to the Borrower upon the issuance thereof, provided that the failure to deliver a copy of any such notice to the Borrower shall have no effect on its validity.

2.3.3. No Liability. No Secured Party shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person arising from the issuance of or failure to issue for any reason (including due to an Uncontrollable Cause as defined both hereunder and in the FFB Note Purchase Agreements) any FFB Advance Request Approval Notice, Drawstop Notice, or any other notice contemplated by this Section 2.3, except in each case to the extent of such Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable Governmental Judgment.

2.4. Advance Requirements under the FFB Credit Facility Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 2, the Borrower shall comply with all disbursement requirements set forth in the FFB Credit Facility Documents.

2.5. No Approval of Work.

None of (x) the signing of any FFB Advance Request Approval Notice by DOE, (y) DOE’s forwarding any FFB Advance Request Approval Notice, FFB Advance Request or Advance Notice to FFB or (z) the making of any Advance under the Loan Documents shall be deemed an approval or acceptance by any Secured Party of any work, labor, supplies, materials or equipment furnished or supplied with respect to the Project.

2.6. Borrower Funding Commitments.

Prior to or concurrently with each Advance, the Borrower agrees to pay from sources other than the DOE Guaranteed Loan, (i) at least 30% of the sum of Eligible Base Project Costs being financed or reimbursed using the proceeds of such Advance plus all other Eligible Project Costs incurred to date and 100% of all Ineligible Base Project Costs previously incurred or then required to be paid (such obligation, the “Base Funding Commitment”) and (ii) 100% of all Overrun Project Costs previously incurred or then required to be paid (if any) (such obligation, the “Overrun Funding Commitment” and, together with the Base Funding Commitment, collectively, the “Funding Commitments”); provided, that the Funding Commitments shall terminate (a) upon the occurrence of any Alternate Amortization Event described in clause (v) of the definition of Alternate Amortization Event or (b) in the event the FFB Credit Facility Commitment is cancelled or terminated for any reason.

2.7. Approval of Maturity Extension Election Notices by DOE after Notice from FFB.

If DOE receives any notice from FFB pursuant to the applicable FFB Promissory Note requiring DOE to approve each Maturity Extension Election Notice (as defined therein) delivered by the Borrower after the date of such notice, then DOE shall approve each such Maturity Extension Election Notice so long as no Potential Default, Event of Default, Potential Alternate Amortization Event or Alternate Amortization Event is continuing.

ARTICLE 3
PAYMENTS; ALTERNATE AMORTIZATION PAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS

3.1. Place and Manner of Payments.

3.1.1.

(a) Generally. All payments due under the DOE Guaranteed Loan shall be made by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the FFB Credit Facility Documents and as specified herein.

(b) Alternate Amortization Events. Upon the occurrence of an Alternate Amortization Event:

(i) DOE may (A) suspend or terminate the commitment to guarantee any further Advances and (B) suspend or terminate the FFB Credit Facility Commitment; provided, that DOE reserves the right to revoke any such suspension in its sole discretion; and

(ii) DOE may deliver an Alternate Amortization Notice to the Borrower.

(i) the Availability Period and FFB Credit Facility Commitment shall immediately terminate, and the Borrower shall be required to repay the outstanding principal amount of the DOE Guaranteed Loan, commencing on the first Quarterly Payment Date immediately following the Borrower’s receipt of such notice, with equal payments of principal in twenty (20) consecutive quarterly installments on each Quarterly Payment Date;

(ii) the level principal amount payable on each Quarterly Payment Date shall be equal to either (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the DOE Guaranteed Loan immediately prior to the first Quarterly Payment Date immediately following delivery to the Borrower of the Alternate Amortization Notice divided by twenty (20) or (y) with respect to any Alternate Amortization Notice delivered solely in connection with an Event of Loss affecting one (1) Unit, an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the DOE Guaranteed Loan immediately prior to the first Quarterly Payment Date immediately following delivery to the Borrower of the Alternate Amortization Notice, less the aggregate amount of any outstanding Advances allocable to shared facilities that were unaffected by such Event of Loss, divided by forty (40); and

(iii) notwithstanding the delivery of an Alternate Amortization Notice, the Borrower shall continue to perform and observe all other obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party until the Debt Termination Date, subject in all cases to the survival of any provisions of the Loan Documents that survive the Debt Termination Date. In the event the Borrower receives an Alternate Amortization Notice on a date that is less than eight (8) Business Days prior to the next Quarterly Payment Date, the initial level principal payment shall occur on the eighth (8th) Business Day following the Borrower’s receipt of the Alternate Amortization Notice rather than the next Quarterly Payment Date following the Borrower’s receipt of the Alternate Amortization Notice.

3.1.2. Net of Tax, Etc.

(a) Tax. Any and all payments to any Secured Party by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all Taxes excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (however denominated) of such Secured Party by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein solely as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and such jurisdiction or political subdivision (other than any connection arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents), and (ii) any withholding Taxes or other Tax based on gross income imposed by the United States of America (all such Taxes, other than those Taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.1.2(a), the “Covered Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Secured Party, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable

under this Section 3.1.2), such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with all Governmental Rules. If the Borrower shall make any payment with respect to Covered Taxes under this clause (a) to or for the benefit of any Secured Party and if such Secured Party shall claim any credit or deduction for such Covered Taxes against any other Taxes payable by such Secured Party that are not Covered Taxes, then such Secured Party shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount such Secured Party determines, absent manifest error, is the amount by which such other Taxes are actually reduced; provided that the aggregate amount payable by such Secured Party pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the aggregate amount previously paid by the Borrower with respect to such Covered Taxes.

(b) Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each Secured Party for the full amount of Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.1.2) paid by any Secured Party, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

DOE is hereby authorized, to the

maximum extent permitted by Governmental Rules, to demand specific performance of this Agreement at any time when the Borrower shall have failed to comply with any provision of this Agreement applicable to it.

Nothing herein shall limit the right of DOE to pursue all rights and remedies available to a creditor at law or in equity following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or any right or remedy available to the DOE as a “Holder” of an “Obligation” under the Mortgage Indenture. Each right, power and remedy of DOE shall be cumulative and concurrent, and recourse to one or more rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any other right, power or remedy.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, DOE may, in its sole discretion, exercise any or all rights and remedies at law or in equity (in any combination or order that DOE may elect), including, without prejudice to DOE’s other rights and remedies, the following:

(i) (A) refuse, and DOE and FFB shall not be obligated, to make or guarantee any further Advances, and (B) suspend or terminate the FFB Credit Facility Commitment;

(ii) charge interest at the FFB Late Charge Rate on any amounts not paid when due; and

(iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under any of the Transaction Documents (other than the Mortgage Indenture) with respect to the Project, the Borrower, the Owners and any other Project Participant.

(c) In addition to, and without limitation of, the rights and remedies described in clause (b) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as described in Section 8.1(m) (Events of Default - Mortgage Indenture Events of Default), DOE may, in its sole discretion, exercise any or all rights and remedies at law or in equity (in any combination or order that DOE may elect), including, without prejudice to DOE’s other rights and remedies, the following:

(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it or FFB under the Mortgage Indenture, including to direct the Trustee to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.16 of the Mortgage Indenture; and

(ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under any of the Transaction Documents with respect to the Project, the Borrower, the Owners and any other Project Participant and under the Collateral or otherwise under Governmental Rules.

(c) (i) The indemnities provided for in Section 10.17(b) shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction renders a final non-appealable determination that all or any portion of a Claim or Costs of Defense resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or an Indemnified Person.

extent the Indemnified Parties and Indemnified Persons (as defined in Section 10.17(b)) are “persons indemnified” pursuant to the Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx Xxx, 00 X.X.X. §0000 and to the extent of the indemnity provided thereby, the indemnities provided for in Section 10.17(b) shall not apply to, and the Borrower shall not have any liability to, any such Indemnified Persons.

(d) All sums paid and costs incurred by any Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to any matter for which indemnification is required hereunder shall bear interest at the FFB Late Charge Rate applicable to the DOE Guaranteed Loan as provided in clause (iii) of this Section 10.17(d) below and shall be immediately due and payable on demand. Each such Indemnified Party and each such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Borrower of any such amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder; provided that any failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 10.17 except as provided in this Section 10.17.

(iv) Upon payment of any Claim or Costs of Defense by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.17, the Borrower, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person may have relating thereto, and such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall, at the request and expense of the Borrower, cooperate with the Borrower and give, at the request and expense of the Borrower, such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Borrower vigorously to pursue such claims.

to Amended and Restated Loan Guarantee Agreement

XXXXX-XXXXX ACT REQUIRED PROVISIONS

SECTION (a) MINIMUM WAGES, ETC.

(1) Minimum wages.

(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Xxxxxxxx Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics.

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in Sec. 5.5(a)(4) [paragraph (a)(4) below]. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.

(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:

(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and

(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and

Exhibit G - Page 1

(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.

(ii)(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(ii)(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(ii)(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.

(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.

(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.

(2) Withholding.

The Department of Energy (“DOE”) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be

Exhibit G - Page 2

withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, DOE may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

(3) Payrolls and basic records.

(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.

(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the DOE) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to DOE. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits

Exhibit G - Page 3

of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose

from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx/xxxxx/xx000xxxxx.xxx or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to DOE if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit them to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to DOE, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner).

(ii)(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a ``Statement of Compliance,’’ signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:

(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete;

(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;

(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.

(ii)(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the ``Statement of Compliance’’ required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.

(ii)(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code.

(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of DOE or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them

Exhibit G - Page 4

available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.

(4) Apprentices and trainees

(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first ninety (90) days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed

Exhibit G - Page 5

pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.

(5) Compliance with Xxxxxxxx Act requirements.

The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.

(6) Subcontracts.

The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as DOE may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.

(7) Contract termination: debarment.

A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the

Exhibit G - Page 6

contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.

(8) Compliance with Xxxxx-Xxxxx and Related Act requirements.

All rulings and interpretations of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.

(9) Disputes concerning labor standards.

Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.

(10) Certification of eligibility.

(i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.

EXAMPLE CALCULATION OF THE DOE MAINTENANCE FEE

The following example is provided solely for illustrative purposes:

If the following is the calculation of the DOE Maintenance Fee for the calendar year during which completion of the second outage for both Units is achieved:

Base amount of fee	$	400,000

Total accrued escalation	$	30,000

Then, the following would be the calculation of the DOE Maintenance Fee for the first full calendar year after completion of the second outage for both Units:

Base amount of fee	$	200,000

One-half of total accrued escalation (50% of $30,000)	$	15,000

DOE Maintenance Fee	$	215,000

(Future escalation on January 1 of each year thereafter is applied to this $215,000)

[FORM OF]

BORROWER APPROPRIATIONS ACT CERTIFICATE

(Delivered pursuant to Section 4.1.34 of the Loan Guarantee Agreement)

Date: , 20

U.S. Department of Energy, as Guarantor
0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx. X.X.
Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000
Attn: Director, Portfolio Management
Re: DOE Loan Guarantees, LGPO Loans #1017 and #1347

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Borrower Appropriations Act Certificate is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.1.34 of the Amended and Restated Loan Guarantee Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2019 (the “Loan Guarantee Agreement”), by and between (i) Oglethorpe Power Corporation (An Electric Membership Corporation), an electric membership corporation organized and existing under the laws of Georgia, (the “Borrower”), as Borrower, and (ii) the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”), as Guarantor. All capitalized terms used in this certificate not otherwise defined shall have their respective meanings specified in the Loan Guarantee Agreement.

For purposes of this Borrower Appropriations Act Certificate, the term “project” shall mean the Borrower’s 30% undivided ownership interest in two additional nuclear generating units, consisting of two Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors, each with a nominally rated capacity of approximately 1,100 megawatts, natural draft cooling towers, intake and discharge structures, associated transmission facilities, fuel and ancillary structures supporting the power generation process, located at the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Electric Generating Plant located in Xxxxx County, Georgia.

The Borrower hereby certifies, for the benefit of the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) and DOE, that

(a) the source of funds for the payment of the Additional DOE Guaranteed Loan Credit Subsidy Cost is not a federal loan or other debt obligation that is guaranteed by the federal government;

(b) to the Borrower’s Knowledge as of the date hereof, based on its review of the Omnibus Appropriations Xxx, 0000, X.X. Xx. 000-0, Xxxxxxxx X, Xxxxx XXX, as amended by Section 408 of the Supplemental Appropriations Xxx, 0000, P.L. No. 111-32 (the “Appropriations Act”), except for use of the proceeds of the DOE-guaranteed loans contemplated under the Loan Guarantee Agreement by the Borrower to finance a portion of the Borrower’s costs of construction in connection with the project, the Borrower does not expect funds, personnel, or property (tangible or intangible) of any Federal agency, instrumentality,

Schedule - Page 1

personnel or affiliated entity through acquisitions, contracts, demonstrations, exchanges, grants, incentives, leases, procurements, sales, other transaction authority, or other arrangements, to be used (directly or indirectly) to support the project or to obtain goods or services from the project, except as set forth below; and

(c) for the reasons stated below, the Borrower believes that the following do not preclude the use of loan guarantee authority in the Appropriation Act for the loan guarantees contemplated to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Loan Guarantee Agreement.

1. The Borrower will obtain nuclear liability insurance under the Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx Act federal insurance program with respect to the project. Such insurance is a federal insurance program within the meaning of subparagraph (c) of the provisions of the Appropriations Act applicable to Section 1703 of Title XVII.

2. The Borrower expects to be entitled to nuclear production tax credits under 26 U.S.C. § 45J (as recently amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018) with respect to its 30% ownership interest in Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4. Further, the Borrower anticipates monetizing any nuclear production tax credits to which it becomes entitled, as permitted under 26 U.S.C. § 45J€. These production tax credits constitute otherwise allowable Federal income tax benefits within the meaning of subparagraph (a) of the provisions of the Appropriations Act applicable to Section 1703 of the Title XVII.3.

3. Based on existing law, the Borrower does not expect to issue any tax-exempt financing in connection with the project. However, the Borrower may in the future issue tax-exempt bonds to finance all or a portion of its undivided ownership interest in any pollution control or other equipment that comprises a portion of the Borrower’s undivided ownership interest in the project if such equipment is eligible under then-current federal income tax law for tax-exempt financing. The Borrower believes that such tax-exempt financing would constitute otherwise allowable Federal income tax benefits within the meaning of subparagraph (a) of the provisions of the Appropriations Act applicable to Section 1703 of Title XVII.

4. The Borrower will sell all of the capacity and energy from the project to Members of the Borrower. Those Members provide retail electric service to electric consumers in the State of Georgia and are not obligated to deliver electric service to any of their retail consumers from any particular generating source. Further, it is probable that one or more of the retail consumers of the Borrower’s Members will be federal agencies, or use federal funds, to purchase retail electric service from one or more of such Members. The Borrower does not expect any such consumer to be offered or receive retail electric service from any of such Members at rates or on terms and conditions different from the rates, terms and conditions upon which such Members offer and provide retail electric service to all their retail consumers. The Borrower believes the expectation of such purchases of retail electric service by federal agencies or with the use of federal funds does not prohibit Guarantor, under the provisions of the Appropriations Act applicable to Section 1703 of Title XVII, from providing the Guarantees to the Borrower.

5. NuStart Energy Development LLC, the consortium of nine nuclear power companies operating 58 percent of the nation’s nuclear power plants and two reactor vendors, executed a Cooperative Agreement with DOE in 2005 to demonstrate the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Schedule - Page 2

licensing process and to complete the designs for the first advanced nuclear power reactors in the U.S. in 30 years. The Cooperative Agreement was authorized pursuant to the Department of Energy NP 2010 program and committed DOE and NuStart to participate in a 50-50 cost sharing program to complete the detailed engineering work for two advanced reactor technologies — the Westinghouse Advanced Passive 1000 Reactor and the General Electric Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor. The members of NuStart included DTE Energy, Duke Energy, EDF International, Entergy Nuclear, Exelon Corporation, FPL Group, Progress Energy, SCANA Corporation, Tennessee Valley Authority, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, GE Energy and Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC. NuStart was dissolved in 2012. The Borrower does not believe that DOE’s general involvement with the AP1000 reactor in connection with NuStart is within the scope of the provisions of the Appropriations Act applicable to Section 1703 of Title XVII. Further, the Cooperative Agreement would constitute a grant or cooperative agreement within the meaning of subparagraph (f) of the provisions of the Appropriations Act applicable to Section 1703 of Title XVII, provided that the obligations of DOE under the Cooperative Agreement were recorded in accordance with 31 U.S.C Section 1501(a)(5) on or before May 1, 2009.

6. The Rural Utilities Service (“RUS”), a federal entity within the United States Department of Agriculture, holds or guarantees, as of February 2019, approximately $2.6 billion of Borrower issued debt, none of which debt has financed the project. The proceeds of outstanding RUS-guaranteed debt have not been used (and may not be used) in any manner for the project. The Borrower issued debt that DOE will guarantee for the project will be secured (pari passu with all other Borrower debt secured by Borrower’s first mortgage indenture) by substantially all of the assets of Borrower, including RUS-financed assets. The Borrower believes the past and possible future issuance of debt guaranteed by the RUS to Borrower does not prohibit Guarantor, under the provisions of the Appropriations Act applicable to Section 1703 of Title XVII, from providing the Guarantees to the Borrower.

Schedule 6.13(h)(i) - Page 3

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of “identifiers” that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union.

Union Identifiers

An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than “SU” denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example.

Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rates.

0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually each January.

Non-Union Identifiers

Classifications listed under an “SU” identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union majority rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date.

Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1. Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

an existing published wage determination

a survey underlying a wage determination

Schedule 6.13(h)(i) - Page 4

a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Xxxxx-Xxxxx survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X.

Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000

2. If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X.
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party’s position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3. If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor

000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X.
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000

4. All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

Machinist	$	26.95	$	11.55

The request for Mechanic Services is not approved because the work to be performed by this classification may be performed by a classification already included in the wage decision [see 29 C.F.R., section 5.5(a)(1)(ii)(A)(1)]. The appropriate classification is Mechanic at a rate of $24.55 per hour plus $12.30 in fringe benefits and shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed.

The Machinist is not subject as the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act provides that prevailing wages are to be paid to all mechanics and laborers employed directly upon the site of work. The regulations [see 29 C.F.R., section 5.2(1)] define the site of work as limited to the physical place or places where the construction called for in the contract will remain when work on it is completed and other adjacent or nearby property used in the construction.

The remaining classifications and wage rates are approved and the wage rates proposed must be paid to all workers performing work within the classifications under this contract from the first day work is performed.
