The Participating Parties shall have title to the Related Facilities as tenants-in-common and shall, as co-tenants with undivided ownership interest therein and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, have the related rights and obligations, including payment therefor in proportion to their Weighted Ownership Interests in the Additional Units. The Ownership Interests of the Parties will be determined pursuant to the Development Agreement.

(a) Prior to the determination of the Participating Parties’ Final Percentage Interests in the Additional Units, no Participating Party may sell, lease, convey, transfer, assign, encumber or alienate in any manner whatsoever its Ownership Interest, or any portion or portions thereof, in any Additional Unit Property to any other party (including another Participating Party), except as provided in Section 4.2(b) hereof and in Sections 3.4 and 3.7 of the Development Agreement. Following such determination, except with the prior written consent of the Participating Parties owning at least an aggregate 90% Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit Property and except as provided in Section 4.2(b), until the expiration of the operating license for the applicable Additional Unit to be granted by the NRC, as renewed from time to time, none of the Participating Parties shall have the right to sell, lease, convey, transfer, assign, encumber or alienate in any manner whatsoever its Ownership Interest, or any portion or portions thereof, in any Additional Unit Property to any other party (including another Participating Party) without either:

(i) first offering, subject to all requisite regulatory approval, such sale, lease or other conveyance to the other Participating Parties pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests in such Additional Unit Property upon the same terms and conditions as the proposed sale, lease or conveyance to such other party, which offer shall be made in the form of a proposed contract and shall be open for acceptance by the other Participating Parties for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days and in the event such offer is accepted by all such other Participating Parties, the Participating Parties shall proceed to a closing pursuant to the terms of the aforesaid contract in an expeditious manner. In the event such

offer is accepted by one or more but is not accepted by all of the other Participating Parties within the aforesaid one hundred and twenty-day period, the offeror shall offer the unaccepted portion of such offer to the Participating Parties who accepted the original offer, who shall then have thirty (30) days to accept the offer of such unaccepted portion. In the event that any of such offers is not timely accepted, the offering Participating Party shall be entitled to consummate the proposed sale, lease or other conveyance to such other party; provided, however, that if the offering Participating Party does not consummate the proposed sale, lease or other conveyance of such interest within a period of one (1) year after the date of its initial offer to the other Participating Parties, no such sale, lease or other conveyance may be consummated without re-offering the sale, lease or conveyance to such other Participating Parties pursuant to either this Section 4.1(a)(i) or Section 4.2(a)(ii); or

(ii) first offering, subject to all requisite regulatory approval, to the other Participating Parties pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests in such Additional Unit Property, such offering Participating Party’s Ownership Interest, or portion thereof, which it seeks to sell, lease or otherwise convey (the “Offered Interest”). The offering Participating Party shall first deliver a written notice to the other Participating Parties stating its intent to offer the Offered Interest in accordance with this Section 4(a)(ii). Not less than 60 days after delivering such notice, the offering Participating Party will deliver a written offer (the “Purchase Option Offer”) to the other Participating Parties detailing a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Offered Interest, which Purchase

Price will represent a fair value for the Offered Interest (determined through a commercially reasonable appraisal process or other reasonable means). After receipt of the Purchase Option Offer, the other Participating Parties shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days to accept such offer and, in the event such offer is accepted by all such other Participating Parties, the Participating Parties shall proceed to a closing in an expeditious manner. In the event such offer is accepted by one or more but is not accepted by all of the other Participating Parties within the aforesaid one hundred and twenty-day period, the offering Participating Party shall offer the unaccepted portion of such offer to the Participating Parties who accepted the original offer, who shall then have thirty (30) days to accept the offer of such unaccepted portion. In the event that any of such offers is not timely accepted, the offering Participating Party shall be entitled to consummate a sale, lease or other conveyance of the Offered Interest to another party (including a Participating Party) on such terms and conditions as the offering Participating Party may determine in its sole discretion; provided, that the offering Participating Party shall not be entitled to sell, lease or otherwise convey the Offered Interest at a price below the Purchase Price without first re-offering such interest to the other Participating Parties at the new purchase price pursuant to either Section 4.2(a)(i) or this Section 4.2(a)(ii); provided, further, that if the offering Participating Party does not consummate a sale, lease or other conveyance of the Offered Interest at a price equal to or greater than the Purchase Price within a period of two (2) years after the date upon which the offering Participating Party first became free to sell, lease or otherwise convey the Offered Interest to third parties hereunder, no such

sale, lease or other conveyance may be consummated without re-offering the Offered Interest to the other Participating Parties pursuant to either Section 4.2(a)(i) or this Section 4.2(a)(ii). So long as NRC approval of such a sale, lease or other conveyance is promptly applied for and pursued with due diligence, such two-year period shall be extended until the NRC grants or denies such approval and such action becomes final and non-appealable.

In no event shall the offering Participating Party sell, lease or convey such interest to any party (including another Participating Party) which is not financially responsible, taking into account the remaining obligations at the time of such transfer under this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, or do so on any terms at variance from those set forth in the aforesaid contract.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participating Party shall have the right to sell, lease, transfer, convey or assign all or part of its Ownership Interest in any Additional Unit Property as contemplated by Sections 4.2(e), 4.2(f), 4.2(g), 4.3(c), 4.9 and 7.7 of this Agreement, or to convey a security interest therein to secure bonds or other obligations issued or to be issued by such Participating Party, without complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2. Each Participating Party shall notify the other Participating Parties in writing as soon as possible after it learns that any lien or security interest has been or will be imposed upon its Ownership Interest in any Additional Unit Property, or has reason to believe that such a lien or security interest will be imposed, other than (i) a lien or security interest in respect of bonds or other obligations issued or to be issued by such Participating Party, or an obligation or liability that does not exceed $100,000.00, and (ii) a lien or security interest in revenues associated with the output of an Additional Unit.

(c) In the event of any sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment, or alienation (other than solely as security for indebtedness or other obligations as permitted hereby) by one of the Participating Parties of its Ownership Interest, or any portion or portions thereof, in any Additional Unit Property, such Participating Party shall cause such transferee to become a party to this Agreement and assume the obligations of the transferor hereunder in proportion to the Ownership Interest so sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned, or alienated.

(d) Each of the Participating Parties hereby expressly waives and renounces for the term of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement for itself, its successors, transferees and assigns, (a) all rights as a tenant in common in any Additional Unit Property to partition and to an accounting associated therewith and (b) any right to enforce an equitable lien on the Ownership Interest of any Participating Party.

(e) Any Participating Party shall have the right to sell, convey, transfer or assign its Ownership Interest, or any portion or portions thereof, in any Additional Unit Property without the consent of the other Participating Parties and without complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2 in connection with (i) any financial arrangements (including security transactions) for the discharge of nuclear fuel payment obligations as contemplated in and subject to Section 4.6 hereof, or (ii) any sale or transfer to any governmental authority or political subdivision in connection with the financing of pollution control facilities or obtaining any ad valorem tax abatement as contemplated in Section 4.7 hereof; provided, however, that the Agent shall continue to act as agent for the other Participating Parties in connection with such Additional Unit Property.

(f) If at any time prior to the first date on which the Participating Parties may increase their Minimum Binding Percentage Interests (as provided in the Development

Agreement), any two Participating Parties enter into a power sale agreement whereby one Participating Party (the “Purchasing Participating Party”) contracts to purchase output derived from the other Participating Party’s (the “Selling Participating Party”) Ownership Interest in either of the Additional Units, simultaneously upon expiration of such power sale agreement, the Selling Participating Party shall have the right to sell, convey, transfer or assign that portion of its Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit(s) that corresponds to the output that was the subject of the power sale agreement to the Purchasing Participating Party without complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2, but only in such instance and without affecting such rights for future transfers.

(g) In addition to OPC’s right to transfer or sell its Ownership Interest under Section 4.2(a), all or any portion of OPC’s Ownership Interest in the Additional Units Property may be transferred or sold pursuant to a foreclosure action or power of sale without complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2 (but only in such instance and without affecting such rights for future transfers), if the transfer or sale is conducted in accordance with this Section 4.2(g).

(i) This Section 4.2(g) shall apply if (A) an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the terms of OPC’s Indenture, and (B) an agency or instrumentality of the United States government is a holder of indebtedness secured by OPC’s Indenture.

(ii) Prior to any sale or transfer under this Section 4.2(g), the security title and lien holder under OPC’s Indenture (the “Trustee”) shall deliver to the other Participating Parties a written notice of its intention to transfer or sell such Ownership Interest (the “Default Sale Notice”). After receipt of the Default Sale Notice, the other

Participating Parties shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days to deliver to the Trustee one or more written offers to purchase such Ownership Interest in its entirety on an as-is, where-is basis, without recourse to the Trustee, free and clear of the lien of OPC’s Indenture, for a cash purchase price identified in such offer, subject only to receipt of all required regulatory approvals (each, a “Co-Owner Purchase Offer”). If one or more Co-Owner Purchase Offers are received by the Trustee within such ninety-day period, the Trustee must, within one hundred and eighty (180) days after delivery of the Default Sale Notice:

(A) identify to all the Participating Parties that submitted Co-Owner Purchase Offers the Co-Owner Purchase Offer that contains the highest purchase price (the “Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer”); and

(B) give notice to such Participating Parties of its acceptance or rejection of the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer.

(iii) If the Trustee accepts the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer, then the other Participating Parties will have the right, within thirty (30) days after notice of such acceptance, to participate in the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests or as the Participating Parties may otherwise agree.

(iv) If the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer is accepted: (A) such acceptance shall constitute a binding agreement between the Trustee and the purchasing Participating Parties obligating the Trustee to sell, and the purchasing Participating Parties to purchase, the Ownership Interest identified in the Default Sale Notice at the purchase price specified in the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer, subject only to

receipt of all required regulatory approvals; and (B) the purchasing Participating Parties will be obligated to tender the full amount of the purchase price in immediately available funds to the Trustee within ten (10) days of receipt of all regulatory approvals required for such sale, lease of other conveyance.

(v) If

(A) the Trustee does not receive any Co-Owner Purchase Offers within the 120-day period provided above;

(B) the purchasing Participating Parties fail to tender the purchase price within the ten-day period as provided above; or

then the Trustee may thereafter proceed to sell, lease or otherwise convey such Ownership Interest to any entity, including any Participating Party, without re-offering such Ownership Interest to the other Participating Parties and without complying with this Section 4.2 (but only in such instance and without affecting such rights for future transfers); provided, that the Participating Parties will not be prohibited from participating in any auction or other bid process for such Ownership Interest after any such event; provided, further that any such sale, lease or other conveyance to an entity other than a Participating Party must be made to an entity (1) that is financially responsible, taking into account the remaining obligations at the time of such transfer or sale under this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement and (2) that becomes a party to, and assumes the obligations of OPC under, each of the Ownership Agreement, the Operating Agreement and the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; provided, further that if the Trustee has

not, within two (2) years after the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (A)-(C) above, consummated a sale, lease or other conveyance of such Ownership Interest, the Trustee may not thereafter sell, lease or otherwise convey such Ownership Interest without first re-offering it to the other Participating Parties in accordance with this Section 4.2(g). So long as NRC approval of such a sale, lease or other conveyance is promptly applied for and pursued with due diligence, such two-year period shall be extended until the NRC grants or denies such approval and such action becomes final and non-appealable.

(h) No Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement except in connection with a sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment of an Ownership Interest or any portion thereof as permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.2. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 4.2 is void.

Section 4.3 Damage or Destruction. Subject to the receipt of all requisite approvals of the NRC (and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction):

(a) In the event any Additional Unit Property or any portion thereof should be damaged or destroyed and the cost of repairs or reconstruction (less any deductible for insurance related thereto) is estimated to be covered by the aggregate amount of insurance coverage, procured and maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Agreement and Section 4.6 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, carried and covering the cost of such repairs and reconstruction, then, unless the Participating Parties owning at least an aggregate 90% Ownership Interest in such Additional Unit Property determine not to repair or reconstruct such Additional Unit Property, the Agent shall cause such repairs or reconstruction to be made so that

such Additional Unit Property shall be restored to substantially the same general condition, character or use as existed prior to such damage or destruction.

(b) In the event any Additional Unit Property or any portion thereof should be damaged or destroyed and the cost of repairs or reconstruction (less any deductible for insurance related thereto) is estimated to be more than the aggregate amount of insurance coverage, procured and maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Agreement and Section 4.6 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, carried and covering the cost of such repairs or reconstruction, then, if the Participating Parties owning at least an aggregate 90% Ownership Interest in such Additional Unit Property determine to repair or reconstruct such Additional Unit Property, the Agent shall cause such repairs or reconstruction to be made so that such Additional Unit Property shall be restored to substantially the same general condition, character or use as existed prior to such damage or destruction, and the Participating Parties shall share the costs of such repairs or reconstruction in excess of available insurance proceeds in proportion to their respective Ownership Interests in such Additional Unit Property. In the absence of such determination, the Agent shall not cause such repairs or reconstruction to be made except as provided in subsection (c) below.

(c) If as a result of the preceding subsections (a) or (b), any Additional Unit Property or any portion thereof is not to be repaired or reconstructed but one or more of the Participating Parties desire the repair or reconstruction of such Additional Unit Property, then the Participating Parties shall meet to discuss whether such Additional Unit Property shall be repaired or reconstructed. If the Participating Parties cannot agree that such Additional Unit Property should be repaired or reconstructed, then any Participating Party who does not desire to repair or reconstruct such Additional Unit Property may terminate its participation with respect

to such Additional Unit Property, and such Participating Party shall transfer, free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances, its Ownership Interest to the remaining Participating Parties in the proportion which their Ownership Interests in such Additional Unit Property bear to each other, unless such remaining Participating Parties agree to a different proportion. Such transferring Participating Party (i) will receive its share of any insurance proceeds in proportion to its Ownership Interest and will receive payment from the transferee Participating Parties for its Ownership Interest in such Additional Unit Property equal to the appraised fair market value of the damaged Additional Unit Property; and (ii) will pay to the transferee Participating Parties simultaneously with such transfer a share of Decommissioning costs, estimated based on the assumption that Decommissioning occurs at such time, in proportion to such transferring Participating Party’s Ownership Interest.

Section 4.4 Insurance.

(a) At all times during the construction, reconstruction, completion, startup, commissioning, repair, renewal, modification, replacement, alteration or Decommissioning of, or addition to, the Additional Unit Properties, the Agent shall carry in the name of the Participating Parties, as their interests may appear, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, builder’s risk (including transit risk, if applicable) or installation floater insurance of the “all risks” type on the Additional Unit Properties in an amount and including such risks as is consistent with the Agent’s customary practices and Prudent Utility Practice. The Agent shall also reasonably satisfy itself that all contractors, subcontractors, engineers, equipment suppliers and manufacturers associated with the Additional Units and the Related Facilities have appropriate insurance and limits thereof, with carriers approved by the Agent for workers’ compensation, public liability, automobile liability and such other hazards as the Agent shall

deem appropriate with respect to the Additional Units and the Related Facilities and the activities relating thereto. Alternatively, the Agent, at its option, may provide for an insurance program for the Additional Units and the Related Facilities in the nature of a “wrap-up” which shall combine all hazards in one policy, with all parties, including owners, contractors, and subcontractors, but not including professional design engineers, equipment suppliers or manufacturers, involved in the Additional Units and the Related Facilities being insured thereunder, as their interests may appear. In any event, the Agent shall require that the insurance covering the activities of contractors, subcontractors, engineers, equipment suppliers and manufacturers associated with the Additional Units and the Related Facilities protect all the Participating Parties to the same extent as they protect the Agent.

(b) The Agent shall use its best efforts to require all insurers that provide insurance pursuant to Section 4.4(a) above to waive all rights of subrogation against any Indemnitee for insured losses associated with the Additional Units or Related Facilities, however caused.

(c) At all times during the planning, licensing, design, acquisition, construction, completion, startup, commissioning, repair, renewal, modification, replacement, alteration or Decommissioning of, or addition to, Additional Units or Related Facilities, the Agent shall require that all contracts with third parties relating to Additional Units or Related Facilities provide the same protection for the Participating Parties as for the Agent. This protection shall include but not be limited to obligations of such third parties to indemnify all the Participating Parties. The Agent shall use its best efforts to require all contractors, subcontractors, engineers, equipment suppliers and manufacturers with whom it enters into contracts to provide insurance coverage under which their insurers waive all rights of

subrogation against any Indemnitee. The Agent shall use its best efforts to require that all such insurance contracts expressly provide that each Indemnitee is an intended third party beneficiary of such waiver of subrogation. In addition, all Participating Parties shall be named as additional insureds under the insurance policies covering the activities of any contractor, subcontractor, engineer, equipment supplier or manufacturer associated with the Additional Units or Related Facilities in the same manner and with the same requirements as the Agent.

(d) The aggregate cost of all insurance procured by the Agent pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be considered a Cost of Construction and as such shall be apportioned among the Participating Parties and paid pursuant to Sections 7.4 and 7.6 hereof. The Agent shall promptly provide copies of all insurance policies procured by the Agent pursuant to this Section 4.4, if requested in writing by a Participating Party, and make available notices with respect thereto to each Participating Party. The Participating Parties may each also maintain additional or other insurance at its own cost and expense which it deems necessary or advisable to protect its interest in or with respect to any Additional Unit, provided that such additional or other insurance does not reduce or diminish in any way the coverage of the insurance procured and maintained by the Agent pursuant to this Section 4.4 and provided further that the Participating Party maintaining such insurance shall use its best efforts to require any such insurers to waive all rights of subrogation against any Indemnitee for insured losses associated with the Additional Units or Related Facilities.

Section 4.5 Taxes. To the extent possible, each of the Participating Parties shall separately report, file returns with respect to, be responsible for and pay all real property, franchise, business, or other taxes or fees, except payroll and sales or use taxes, arising out of its Ownership Interest in any Additional Unit Property; provided, however, that to the extent that

such taxes or fees may be assessed against any Additional Unit Property or its operation or the Participating Parties in such a manner so as to make impossible the carrying out of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, or upon mutual agreement of the Participating Parties, then such taxes or fees shall be considered a Cost of Construction and paid from the applicable Construction Account or the applicable Capital Account in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.4 or 7.6 hereof, but in no event shall any taxes or fees from the payment of which any Participating Party is exempt by law be considered a Cost of Construction. The Participating Parties shall each be responsible for all sales and transfer taxes and recording fees, if any, incurred in connection with the conveyance to them of Ownership Interests in any Additional Unit Property pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Nuclear Fuel.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, and the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and Sections 4.2 and 4.5 of the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, the Agent shall have sole authority to and shall arrange for and acquire all nuclear fuel for the Additional Units.

(b) As to the acquisition of nuclear fuel for the Additional Units after the date of this Agreement, each Participating Party shall have the right to make whatever financial arrangements it may desire, whether by lease, security transaction or otherwise, for the discharge of its nuclear fuel payment obligations so long as such arrangements do not adversely affect the rights of any other Participating Party. In respect thereof:

(i) The Agent shall give reasonable notice to the other Participating Parties of its intent in the purchasing, financing or leasing of nuclear fuel, following which each of the other Participating Parties shall give reasonable notice to the Agent of its intended

financial arrangement for discharging its obligation for its undivided ownership interest in nuclear fuel.

(ii) If such financial arrangement by a Participating Party does not adversely affect the rights of any other Participating Party, then such other Participating Party may discharge its obligation for its undivided ownership interest in nuclear fuel by such financial arrangement.

(iii) If such financial arrangement by a Participating Party does adversely affect the rights of any other Participating Party, then the Agent shall arrange for the purchasing, financing or leasing of such other Participating Party’s undivided ownership interest in nuclear fuel and such other Participating Party shall pay its proportionate share of the costs incurred in such purchasing, financing or leasing by the Agent.

(iv) Unless otherwise agreed by the Participating Parties, or as otherwise provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and Sections 4.2 and 4.5 of the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, the Participating Parties shall pay Fuel Costs and shall own nuclear fuel with respect to each Additional Unit in proportion to their respective Ownership Interests in such Additional Unit.

Section 4.7 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) The Participating Parties shall cooperate with each other in any financing undertaken by any Participating Party on its own behalf of such Participating Party’s Ownership Interest in certain Additional Unit Property used for the control of environmental pollution, through the issuance by the Development Authority of ▇▇▇▇▇ County, Georgia, or its successors or assigns or any other political subdivision or authority, of its industrial revenue notes or bonds, or both, the interest on which will be exempt from federal income taxes, and in seeking state

authority therefor and fairly allocating such authority among the Participating Parties that desire such financing.

(b) The Participating Parties shall cooperate with each other in any efforts undertaken by any Participating Party to achieve an abatement of ad valorem taxes with respect to its Ownership Interest in any Additional Unit Property, whether through a sale-and-leaseback transaction with the Development Authority of ▇▇▇▇▇ County, Georgia, or its successors or assigns or any other political subdivision or governmental authority, or otherwise. In the event any Participating Party intends to seek such a tax abatement, such Participating Party will notify the other Participating Parties of such intention prior to commencing discussions or negotiations with respect thereto.

Section 4.8 Decommissioning Funding Assurance.

(a) Subject to Section 5.2 of this Agreement with respect to the filing of requisite filings with regulatory agencies, each Participating Party shall provide Decommissioning funding assurance in accordance with the NRC decommissioning planning requirements detailed in 10 C.F.R. § 50.75, or any successor thereto (“Decommissioning Funding Assurance”). Each Participating Party shall comply with such NRC decommissioning planning requirements and coordinate with the Agent in such compliance, including the preparation of a report containing a certification of financial assurance for Decommissioning in an amount which provides funding for its Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit(s).

(b) The Participating Parties’ obligations for Decommissioning Funding Assurance shall not diminish the Participating Parties’ contractual obligations under this Agreement or under the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. The Agent shall make all

reasonable efforts to inform the other Participating Parties as to the planning for and progress of the Decommissioning of each of the Additional Units and the anticipated costs of such activities.

Section 4.9 Property Rights.

(a) If (i) after the determination of each Participating Party’s Maximum Binding Percentage Interest with respect to the Additional Units, the Ownership Interests of the Parties in each Additional Unit do not equal the Pro Rata Interests of the Parties, or (ii) after the determination of each Participating Party’s Final Percentage Interest with respect to each Additional Unit, the Ownership Interests of the Participating Parties in such Additional Unit do not equal the Maximum Binding Percentage Interests of the Participating Parties; then in either or both cases, as applicable, the Parties will grant fee simple interests in the land for the Identified Site related to such Additional Unit, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, as may be necessary so that the Identified Site related to such Additional Unit shall be owned by the Participating Parties in accordance with their Ownership Interests (at each such time) in such Additional Unit, and the Parties hereby waive their respective first refusal rights to such transfers as provided in Section 4.2 above, but only in such instance and without affecting such rights for future transfers. A Party will receive the fair market value of any of such Party’s interest in land conveyed to the Participating Parties pursuant to this Agreement. The “fair market value” of such land will be appraised with regard to the best and highest use, as burdened by all restrictions existing on the land at Plant Vogtle as of the date of such transfer. Any deed executed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.9 (a) shall contain the following language:

The parties hereto have entered into that certain Plant ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ Additional Units Ownership Participation Agreement dated as of April 21, 2006, and that certain Plant ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ Nuclear Units Amended and Restated Operating Agreement dated as of April 21, 2006 (the “Agreements”). The Agreements, as they may be amended from time to time, govern the ownership of the Parties of

the property which is the subject of this conveyance, and set forth, among other things, obligations on each of their parts with respect to improvements which are required by the Agreements to be made on said property. The Parties for themselves and for their successors in title, acknowledge, affirm and incorporate into this deed the covenants and rights established in the Agreements, and for that purpose incorporate herein Section 7.7 of the Ownership Agreement and 5.4 of the Operating Agreement, recorded respectively in Deed Book , Page , and Deed Book , Page , of the ▇▇▇▇▇ County Records.

(b) Simultaneously herewith, the Parties have entered into a Declaration of Covenants (as attached hereto as Exhibit A-2) that sets forth certain general blanket easements granted with respect to the development and construction of the Additional Units and provides a right to use the existing resources at Plant Vogtle, including the right to use Common Facilities, to the Participating Parties. Upon the determination of each Participating Party’s Maximum Binding Percentage Interest (pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Development Agreement) with respect to the Additional Units, the Agent, on behalf of the Parties, will determine the metes and bounds of each Identified Site and the locations of easements pursuant to the Declaration of Covenants.

(c) As soon as practicable after the date of Commercial Operation with respect to each Additional Unit, the Agent shall prepare and furnish to each Participating Party descriptions of the Additional Unit Property(ies) in which such Participating Party has an Ownership Interest setting forth in reasonable detail the facilities, equipment and other property and rights then constituting such applicable Additional Unit Property, including all property (including a metes and bounds description of the Identified Sites), real or personal, and rights therein jointly paid for under this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

AGENCY

Section 5.1 Appointment. Each Participating Party hereby irrevocably appoints, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 8.9(e), GPC as its agent in connection with the Additional Units to act on its behalf in the planning, design, licensing, acquisition, construction, completion, startup, commissioning, renewal, addition, replacement, modification and Decommissioning of the Additional Unit Properties. GPC hereby accepts such appointment.

Section 5.2 Authority and Responsibility.

(a) The Agent shall have sole authority and responsibility for the planning, licensing, design, construction, acquisition, completion, startup, commissioning, renewal, addition, replacement, modification and Decommissioning of each of the Additional Unit Properties for and on behalf of the Participating Parties, and shall take all actions necessary in discharging such responsibility in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. In respect thereof, and subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Agent is authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Participating Parties, to take all reasonable actions which, in the discretion and judgment of the Agent, are deemed necessary or advisable to effect the planning, licensing, design, construction, acquisition, completion, startup, commissioning, renewal, addition, replacement, modification and Decommissioning of each of the Additional Unit Properties, including without limitation the following:

(i) The making of such agreements and modifications of existing agreements (other than any of the Definitive Agreements or the Development Agreement) and the taking of such other action as the Agent deems necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, or as may be required under the regulations or

directives of the NRC or such other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, with respect to the planning, licensing, design, construction, acquisition, completion, startup and commissioning of the Additional Unit Properties for commercial service, and the renewal, addition, replacement or modification of all or any part thereof, whether before or after completion, which such agreements and modifications, together with such existing agreements, shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Participating Parties;

(ii) The making of such agreements and modifications of existing agreements (other than any of the Definitive Agreements or the Development Agreement) and the taking of such other action as the Agent deems necessary or appropriate, with the consent of the Participating Parties owning at least an aggregate 90% Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit Property, or as may be required under the regulations or directives of the NRC or such other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, with respect to the retirement, Decommissioning or salvaging of all or any part of the Additional Unit Property, whether before or after completion, which such agreements and modifications, together with such existing agreements, shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Participating Parties;

(iii) The execution and filing with the NRC, or such other regulatory agency having jurisdiction, of applications, amendments, reports and other documents and filings in or in connection with licensing and other regulatory matters with respect to the Additional Unit Properties; and

(iv) The receipt on behalf of the Participating Parties of any notice or other communication from the NRC or other regulatory agency having

jurisdiction, as to any licensing or other regulatory matter with respect to the Additional Unit Properties.

(b) In discharging its obligations as agent hereunder, the Agent shall have the right, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Participating Parties, to provide, or to contract with any of its Affiliates for the purchase of, At Cost, any equipment or facilities or the performance of services, At Cost, in connection with any of the Additional Unit Properties. In the event the Agent proposes to acquire services for this Agreement from an Affiliate which involve new investment in excess of twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) (in 2006 dollars utilizing the Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator as reported in the Survey of Current Business published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, United States Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. as a deflator) in physical facilities (other than additions to Plant Hatch or Plant Vogtle) in order for an Affiliate to provide new services to the Additional Units other than those services supplied by the resources of GPC or its Affiliates as of the Effective Date, the Agent will confer with the Participating Parties in order to determine whether the Participating Parties are able and willing to participate in such investment and to provide an opportunity for such participation; provided, that the Agent shall endeavor to notify the Participating Parties prior to any new investment in an Affiliate for such services.

(c) All such agreements described in this Section 5.2 (except for agreements with Affiliates of the Agent) shall, by their terms, be made assignable by the Agent to any replacement or successor agent pursuant to this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. The Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully with any replacement or successor agent to effect the assignment of all agreements described in this Section 5.2 (other than agreements with Affiliates of the Agent) and otherwise to secure for such

replacement or successor agent the benefits of any other agreements described in this Section 5.2 (other than agreements with Affiliates of the Agent).

(d) The Agent shall cause all third parties which are parties to the agreements described in this Section 5.2 to acknowledge the information and audit rights of the Participating Parties under the Definitive Agreements, and to commit to cooperate with the Agent, the Participating Parties and their representatives in connection therewith and to provide information described thereunder (including any information deemed confidential or proprietary) to the Agent, the Participating Parties and their representatives, which shall be held in accordance with Section 9.12 of this Agreement. Information requested by a Participating Party may not be refused on the grounds that such third party claims such information to be proprietary if such Participating Party agrees to execute an agreement satisfactory to any such third party to protect such information from unwarranted disclosure.

Section 5.3 Standards of Conduct.

(a) As the sole standards against which its conduct as agent for the other Participating Parties shall be measured notwithstanding any provision of law, and as the sole liability for failure to comply with such standards notwithstanding any provision of law: The Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to discharge its responsibilities as agent in accordance with Prudent Utility Practice, and to use its reasonable best efforts, in conformity with Prudent Utility Practice, to have each of the Additional Units in Commercial Operation by the dates specified in the notice of Major Milestone related to each Additional Unit, or such later date as is specified by the Agent in connection with any deferral permitted under subsection (b) below, except in connection with any discontinuance of the development or construction of an Additional Unit or the Additional Units permitted pursuant to subsection (b) below. In the event

the Agent fails at any time to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, the other Participating Parties, as their sole and exclusive remedy, legal or equitable, shall have the right, subject to approval of the NRC, to remove the Agent as agent upon written notice to the Agent executed by all the other Participating Parties, provided that if an Affiliate of the Agent has an Ownership Interest in either or both of the Additional Units, its execution of such notice shall not be unreasonably withheld. Following receipt of such notice the Agent shall continue as agent for the other Participating Parties until its successor has been appointed, subject to approval of the NRC, by the action of Participating Parties owning not less than an aggregate 90% Weighted Ownership Interest in the Additional Units; provided, that the concurrence in such appointment by the Agent as a Participating Party or by any Affiliate of the Agent which has an Ownership Interest in either or both of the Additional Units shall not be unreasonably withheld. All actions taken by GPC as Agent prior to the effective appointment of a successor agent shall be deemed ratified and affirmed by the other Parties.

(b) GPC may elect to discontinue or defer the development or construction of an Additional Unit or the Additional Units only as provided in Section 3.8 of the Development Agreement. In addition, if the participation in an Additional Unit is not fully subscribed at the time the Final Percentage Interests of the Participating Parties are determined with respect to such Additional Unit, the development of such Additional Unit shall be deferred until the earlier of (i) the date the applicable Participating Parties reach agreement on the full subscription for the development of such Additional Unit, or (ii) the expiration of the deferral period authorized under Section 3.8 of the Development Agreement. If the Development Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 3.8 thereof, then this Agreement shall likewise terminate.

(c) If the sum of GPC’s and its Affiliates’ Weighted Ownership Interest in the Additional Units is at any time below 10%, then (i) the other Participating Parties will have the right, upon written notice, to remove GPC as the Agent in the manner set forth in Section 5.3(a) above by the action of the other Participating Parties owning not less than an aggregate 67% Weighted Ownership Interest in the Additional Units; and (ii) GPC shall have the right to resign from its duties as Agent hereunder, upon written notice to the other Participating Parties, and a successor agent shall be selected by the action of the other Participating Parties owning not less than an aggregate 67% Weighted Ownership Interest in the Additional Units within one (1) year (or such greater time if the other Participating Parties are proceeding with due diligence to select and license a successor agent) of such notice from GPC; provided, that GPC shall continue to perform the functions of the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement and cooperate in the selection and approval of a successor agent until the successor agent has received approval from the NRC; provided, further, however that in the event the other Participating Parties are unable to obtain approval from the NRC of a successor agent within one (1) year (or such greater time if the other Participating Parties are proceeding with due diligence to select and license a successor agent) of GPC’s notice as provided above, then the other Participating Parties shall pay to GPC an administrative fee each month thereafter equal to ten percent (10%) of the non-fuel Operation and Maintenance Budget (as defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement) for each such month after such period, provided, further that such fee will not be owed if any delay in licensing a successor agent is caused by the actions of GPC. In the event GPC is removed or resigns as Agent pursuant to this Section 5.3(c), GPC

simultaneously shall be deemed to have been removed or to have resigned as Agent under the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement with respect to the Additional Units.

Section 5.4 Certain Liabilities Included in Costs of Construction. Any liability of the Agent or any Participating Party to any third party which results from any action or failure to act on the part of the Agent relating to, resulting from, arising out of or attributable to any of the planning, licensing, design, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, completion, startup, commissioning, repair, renewal, modification, replacement, alteration or Decommissioning of, or addition to, any applicable Additional Unit(s), and any legal fees, defense costs and costs of investigation relating to any such liability or alleged liability, shall be included in the Cost of Construction and apportioned among the Participating Parties pursuant to Sections 7.4 and 7.6 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) any liability or alleged liability of the Agent or of any Party based upon any failure or alleged failure of responsibility to shareholders, customers, members, participants, trustees, bondholders or other lenders of the Agent, any Party or any of their Affiliates or (ii) any liability resulting from any failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.1 or any legal fees, defense costs and cost of investigation relating to any unsuccessful defense against any such liability.

Section 5.5 Site Representatives.

(a) Each Participating Party shall have the right to have a duly authorized representative (each a “Site Representative”) at each of the applicable Additional Unit sites at all reasonable times to observe the performance of the Agent hereunder with respect to each Additional Unit, provided that such Site Representative shall not interfere with the Agent’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Participating Party may request in writing to the Agent to place a reasonable number of additional Site Representatives at either Additional Unit site. The Agent’s

consent to such request shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that the Agent’s project management reasonably considers that the conduct of any Site Representative is interfering with such performance, the Agent may bring such matters to the attention of the management of the Participating Party which has designated such Site Representative and request that appropriate measures be taken by such Participating Party to address such concerns. The management of such Participating Party in response to any such request shall thereupon take such measures, including at its discretion replacement of such Site Representative, as it deems appropriate to address such concerns. If issues of a continuing nature arise involving any Site Representative, the Nuclear Managing Board will review the circumstances and make recommendations as appropriate to Participating Party or to the Agent.

(b) The Agent will make available work space for each Participating Party’s Site Representative in proximity to the Agent’s own work space at each of the Additional Unit sites.

(c) The Site Representatives shall have access to the applicable Additional Unit sites except as limited by Section 8.12 hereof and any other applicable legal requirements.

(d) As a matter of professional courtesy, and in order to promote good relations with personnel on the site, the Site Representatives will be invited to attend training, educational, professional and team-building functions at Plant Vogtle. In order to assure that they are kept informed about management activities, Site Representatives will be provided access to (pursuant to Section 5.7) or copies of daily, weekly and monthly reports that are routinely distributed to the Agent’s on-site management level personnel with respect to the development, planning, design, licensing, acquisition, construction, completion, startup, commissioning, renewal, addition, replacement, modification and/or Decommissioning of the

Additional Units, at the same time such reports are distributed to such personnel. Upon initial assignment, a new Site Representative will be invited to attend as an observer, one of each type of routine management meetings with respect to the Additional Units, except those devoted to internal personnel matters and staff working meetings involving conflict resolution activities where Site Representative presence would be obviously inappropriate. Each Site Representative (or his designee) may attend any meeting, whether on-site or off-site, other than (i) personnel or conflict-resolving meetings as described above, and (ii) any other meetings that the Agent’s project management or senior management shall reasonably request such Site Representative not attend. If the management of the Participating Party represented by the excluded Site Representative disagrees that the closure of meetings or types of meetings was reasonable, then the management of such Participating Party may request the management of the Agent to review the matter. If the management of the Agent concludes that the closure of such meetings was not based on reasonable grounds, the Participating Party’s Site Representative shall be permitted to attend such meetings. If the management of the Agent concludes that the closure was reasonable, and the management of such Participating Party still disagrees, the matter may be referred to the Nuclear Managing Board for review and recommendations.

(f) Subject to Section 8.12 hereof, each Participating Party shall have the additional right to have its representatives and guests visit each applicable Additional Unit site, with prior approval of the Agent, to tour the facilities and observe development and construction activities. Such representatives and guests shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations in effect at the plant whether imposed by governmental authority or by the Agent.

Section 5.6 Management Audit; Access to Records. Any Participating Party shall have the right to conduct a management audit, at its own cost, of the Agent’s performance

hereunder, either by such Participating Party’s own officers and employees or through its duly authorized agents or representatives (including any auditor utilized by such Participating Party, or any nationally recognized accounting firm designated by such Participating Party or by the Administrator of the Rural Utilities Service). The Agent shall cooperate with such Participating Party in the conducting of such audit and, subject to the applicable regulations of the NRC and the requirements of vendors, give such Participating Party reasonable access to all architectural, engineering and design drawings and specifications, contracts, books, records, reports or other documents relating to the applicable Additional Unit(s), and each Participating Party may make copies of such materials. Following any such management audit, the Agent shall respond to the findings of such audit if reasonably requested to do so by a Participating Party. Management audits by individual Participating Parties shall be coordinated and scheduled through the Agent so as to minimize the number of audits required. The handling, disclosure and use of any such information will be governed by the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement as set forth in Section 9.12.

Section 5.7 Information Requirements.

(a) The Agent will provide the Participating Parties with information relating to the development, planning, design, licensing, acquisition, construction, completion, startup and commissioning of the Additional Unit Properties and the Costs of Construction to be paid by the Participating Parties hereunder (collectively, “Relevant Information”) as provided in this Section 5.7 and other provisions of this Agreement, with the objective of assuring that the Participating Parties remain fully informed in a timely manner with respect to matters that could impact decisions made or to be made by the Project Management Board, the Agent or the Participating Parties under this Agreement.

(b) The Agent will develop and maintain a system to permit the Participating Parties (through their Designated Representatives and Site Representatives, as appropriate) to have electronic access to Relevant Information except to the extent electronic access thereto is limited by NRC, Department of Labor or related requirements and the practicalities and cost-effectiveness of information management and access. The cost directly associated with the development and implementation of such system, such as software programming and hardware costs dedicated to the system, shall be treated as a Cost of Construction. The information provided on such system shall be in a format and safeguarded as may be reasonably determined by the Agent. The Agent, after the receipt of input from the Participating Parties, shall establish and distribute reasonable data exchange and protection protocols with respect to the access given to the Designated Representatives and Site Representatives, as applicable, of the Participating Parties, which such protocols shall include actions in the case of improper access, user identification and password requirements and similar provisions.

(c) Prior to Commercial Operation of each Additional Unit, as a part of the Relevant Information made available to the Participating Parties hereunder, the Agent shall issue periodic, routine reports to the Project Management Board and Designated Representatives in connection with the development and construction of each Additional Unit with a frequency commensurate with the project activities and resource demands, which shall include the following reports:

(i) Monthly reports showing the actual Cost of Construction for the immediately preceding month as compared against the most recent Pre-Construction Budget or Construction Budget, as applicable; and

(ii) Monthly reports showing the status and progress regarding the current schedules for the development, planning, design, licensing, acquisition, construction, completion, startup and commissioning of each Additional Unit.

At a minimum, such reports will be provided on a monthly basis. Supplemental reports with respect to major project decisions will also be published and distributed prior to (at a minimum, attached to the agenda for such meeting) and in a reasonable time after meetings of the Project Management Board at which any major project decision is made.

(d) To the extent a Participating Party requires additional Relevant Information not available pursuant to Section 5.7(b) or 5.7(c), such Participating Party may make a formal request for additional information. Such request will be in writing and will be sent by such Participating Party’s Designated Representative to the Agent’s Designated Representative. The Agent’s Designated Representative will diligently respond to such requests. The Agent’s response to such additional information request shall be in substance and in a format as reasonably determined by the Agent.

(e) All information and reports required to be provided by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be in a format as reasonably determined by the Agent such that the Participating Parties may compare such information and reports to information and reports previously provided by the Agent.

Section 5.8 Information Performance Review. At the end of each year during the term of this Agreement until the date the final Additional Unit achieves Commercial Operation, the Agent will review its performance of the access and information-flow requirements of this Agreement and will solicit feedback from the Participating Parties regarding such performance

and the opportunity of each of the Participating Parties to provide input pursuant to Article VI. At any time during this Agreement, any Participating Party may object to the Agent’s performance of the access and information-flow requirements of this Agreement or such Participating Party’s opportunity to provide input under Article VI, by providing written notice and reasonable detail of such objection to the Agent. The Agent will assess such objection and attempt to remedy the situation. If such Participating Party is still dissatisfied, the Participating Party may state its objection to the Project Management Board to seek resolution, and failing resolution at the Project Management Board level, may further seek resolution between the chief executive officers of such Participating Party and the Agent.

(e) The Pre-Construction Budget or Construction Budget, as applicable, may be changed by the Agent from time to time during a calendar year as necessary to reflect changes

in permitting and licensing schedules, pre-development schedules, construction schedules, payment schedules, plans, specifications or costs, and when so changed shall be submitted similarly to the Project Management Board and the Participating Parties and adopted as provided in the preceding subsection.

(f) The Agent shall attempt to construct each Additional Unit in accordance with the then current Pre-Construction Budget or Construction Budget, as applicable, for such Additional Unit so that the payments required to be made by Participating Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be, as nearly as practicable, within the current Pre-Construction Budget or Construction Budget, as applicable. The Agent makes no representation, warranty or promise of any kind as to the accuracy of any of such Pre-Construction Budget or Construction Budget, as applicable, or that such attempt to construct each Additional Unit in accordance with the current Pre-Construction Budget or Construction Budget, as applicable, will be successful and in no event shall the Agent have any liability to any other Party in these regards.

Section 7.3 Construction Account.

(a) After the Effective Date, the Agent shall establish a separate account or accounts with respect to each Additional Unit (each such account a “Construction Account” and collectively the “Construction Accounts”).

All moneys for the payment of the applicable Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs incurred by the Participating Parties after the Effective Date and prior to Commercial Operation

of each Additional Unit shall be deposited by the Participating Parties in the applicable Construction Account and the Agent shall withdraw and apply funds therefrom only as necessary to pay the applicable Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs. In the event that during any month the balance in the applicable Construction Account is insufficient to pay the applicable Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs required to be paid that month (other than as a result of the non-payment by a Participating Party of an amount due from it pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof), the Agent shall promptly so notify the other Participating Parties, by telephone and promptly confirmed in writing, stating the amount required to be paid by each Participating Party. Each of the Participating Parties shall pay its respective share of such deficit into the applicable Construction Account in immediately available funds not later than on the fifth (5th) banking day after receipt of such notice from the Agent. The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to make up any such deficit out of its own funds in excess of its proportionate share of such deficit.

(b) After the Effective Date and until the date of Commercial Operation of each Additional Unit, each Participating Party shall own and maintain its Ownership Interest in the applicable Construction Account(s); provided, however, that the Agent shall have the sole right and authority to make withdrawals from the Construction Accounts; and provided further, that a Participating Party shall not own any Ownership Interest in any amount in any Construction Account in respect of interest paid into such Construction Account by or on behalf of such Participating Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof, which amount shall be owned in common, and credited against payments required to be made into such Construction Account, by the other Participating Parties not then in default in the performance of their obligations under this Agreement in the proportion which their Ownership Interests in the applicable Additional Unit bear to each other.

(c) Upon Commercial Operation of each Additional Unit, and the settlement of all the obligations relating to the applicable Cost of Construction of and Fuel Costs for such Additional Unit incurred prior to the Commercial Operation of such Additional Unit, the Agent shall close the Construction Account for such Additional Unit and distribute to each Participating Party its undivided ownership interest of any balance remaining in such Construction Account, except that if a Participating Party shall then be in default of its obligations hereunder or under the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement with respect to any Additional Unit, an amount equal to the liability of such defaulting Participating Party on account of such default (or if such amount exceeds such Participating Party’s share of the balance in the Construction Account, its entire share of such balance) shall first be distributed to the non-defaulting Participating Parties in the proportion which their Ownership Interests in the applicable Additional Unit bear to each other.

Section 7.4 Payments to be Made During Construction.

(a) After the Effective Date but prior to Commercial Operation of each Additional Unit, the Participating Parties shall be responsible for, and shall pay, the Cost of Construction of each Additional Unit incurred after the Effective Date but prior to Commercial Operation in proportion to their respective Ownership Interests in such Additional Units in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 7.4. All Fuel Costs for each Additional Unit incurred after the Effective Date but prior to Commercial Operation of such Additional Unit shall be paid by the Parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof and pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 7.4.

(b) The Agent will, on or before the first (1^st) day of each month, notify the Participating Parties with respect to each Additional Unit of the nature and amount of the Cost of

Construction and Fuel Costs related to such Additional Unit anticipated to be incurred during the succeeding calendar month, plus or minus any adjustments for such costs incurred in prior months but not previously charged or credited to the Participating Parties. Each Participating Party shall make payment into the applicable Construction Account in immediately available funds, in proportion to its Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit, in accordance with the schedule and invoices determined and delivered to the Participating Parties by the Agent as described in subsections (c) and (d) below.

(c) The Agent will invoice each Participating Party for costs incurred from the Effective Date to the date on which such Participating Party makes its Minimum Binding Percentage Interest election in proportion to such Participating Party’s Initial Percentage Interest. The Agent will invoice each Participating Party for costs incurred after the date of such Participating Party’s Minimum Binding Percentage Interest election to the date of determination of such Participating Party’s Maximum Binding Percentage Interest, in proportion to such Participating Party’s Minimum Binding Percentage Interest. The Agent will invoice each Participating Party for costs incurred after the determination of such Participating Party’s Maximum Binding Percentage Interest, in proportion to such Participating Parties’ Maximum Binding Percentage Interest.

(d) Upon the decrease of a Participating Party’s Initial Percentage Interest in each Additional Unit (per such Participating Party’s Minimum Binding Percentage Interest election) and again upon the determination of the Maximum Binding Percentage Interest of such Participating Party in each Additional Unit, the Agent will reallocate the Costs of Construction and Fuel Costs invoiced with respect to each Additional Unit and submit a true-up invoice to such Participating Party to account for any decrease from such Participating Party’s Initial

Percentage Interest to its Minimum Binding Percentage Interest in such Additional Unit, and for any increase from such Participating Party’s Minimum Binding Percentage Interest to its Maximum Binding Percentage Interest in such Additional Unit, as applicable, including carrying costs calculated in accordance with the applicable formula set forth on Exhibit C (“True-Up Invoices”). If a True-Up Invoice shows amounts due from a Participating Party due to an increase in its Ownership Interest, then such Participating Party shall reimburse the Agent promptly upon receipt of such invoice. If a True-Up Invoice shows amounts owed to a Party or Participating Party due to a decrease from its Initial Percentage Interest to its Minimum Binding Percentage Interest, then such Party or Participating Party will receive a refund promptly after receipt of such invoice.

(e) Each notification made by the Agent of anticipated costs and adjustments pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be accompanied and adjusted by an accounting of costs incurred, as adjusted, for preceding months. The Agent will provide the Participating Parties with such information as is reasonably required by them in order to account for such payments on their books.

(f) The Participating Parties shall have until the one hundred eightieth (180^th) day after (i) the commencement of Commercial Operation of such Additional Unit or (ii) the receipt of an accounting from the Agent of all items of the Cost of Construction of and Fuel Costs for such Additional Unit incurred prior to Commercial Operation thereof, whichever is later, to question or contest the correctness of any such charge or adjustment made to it pursuant to this Section 7.4 in respect of such Additional Unit, after which time the correctness of such charge or adjustment shall be conclusively presumed.

(g) In the event that the Agent obtains any recovery pursuant to Section 638 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and to the extent a Participating Party qualifies for such recovery, such recovery will be credited against Cost of Construction for such eligible Participating Party.

Section 7.5 Capital Account.

(a) Prior to the Commercial Operation of each Additional Unit, the Agent shall establish a separate account or accounts with respect to each Additional Unit (each such account a “Capital Account” and collectively the “Capital Accounts”). The amounts held in the Capital Accounts, which in the discretion of the Agent may be interest bearing or non-interest bearing, may be physically maintained by the Agent in one or more bank accounts in a bank or banks the deposits in which are insured, subject to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and which meets or meet all applicable requirements imposed upon depositaries of the Agent. All payments of additional Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs incurred by the Participating Parties with respect to an Additional Unit after Commercial Operation of such Additional Unit (provision for which is made in Section 7.6 hereof) shall be deposited by the Participating Parties in the applicable Capital Account and the Agent shall withdraw and apply funds therefrom only as necessary to pay such additional applicable Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.6 hereof. In the event that during any month the balance in the applicable Capital Account is insufficient to pay such additional applicable Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs required to be paid that month (other than as a result of the non-payment by a Participating Party of an amount due from it pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof), the Agent shall so notify the other Participating Parties, by telephone and promptly confirmed in writing, stating the amount required to be paid by each of them. Each of

the Participating Parties shall pay its respective share of such deficit into the applicable Capital Account in immediately available funds not later than on the fifth (5^th) banking day after receipt of such notice from the Agent. The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to make up any such deficit out of its own funds in excess of its proportionate share of such deficit.

(b) Each Participating Party shall own and maintain its Ownership Interest in each applicable Capital Account; provided, however, that the Agent shall have the sole right and authority to make withdrawals from the Capital Accounts; and provided further, that a Participating Party shall not own any Ownership Interest in any amount in any Capital Account in respect of interest paid into such Capital Account by or on behalf of such Participating Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof, which amount shall be owned in common and credited against payments required to be made into such Capital Account, by the other Participating Parties not then in default in the performance of their obligations under this Agreement in the proportion which their Ownership Interests in the applicable Additional Unit bear to each other.

(c) Upon termination of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and settlement of all obligations relating to Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs with respect to each Additional Unit, including all costs incurred in the Decommissioning of each Additional Unit, the Agent shall close the Capital Accounts and distribute to each Participating Party its Ownership Interest of any balance remaining in each Capital Account in which it has an interest, except that if a Participating Party shall then be in default of its obligations under this Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (as to any Additional Unit), an amount equal to the liability of such defaulting Participating Party on account of such default (or if such amount exceeds such Participating Party’s share of the balance in the applicable Capital

Account, its entire share of such balance) shall first be distributed to the non-defaulting Participating Parties in the proportion which their Ownership Interests in such Additional Unit bear to each other.

Section 7.6 Payments to be Made Following Commercial Operation. The Agent will provide the Participating Parties with budget estimates of the Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs to be incurred with respect to each Additional Unit following Commercial Operation of such Additional Unit, in accordance with Sections 4.4 and 4.5 of the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement. In addition, the Agent will, on or before the first (1^st) day of each month, commencing on the month immediately preceding the commencement of Commercial Operation of each Additional Unit, notify the Participating Parties of the nature and amount of all additional Cost of Construction anticipated to be incurred during the succeeding calendar month in respect of completions, renewals, additions, replacements, modifications or Decommissioning related to such Additional Unit, and the amount of applicable Fuel Costs anticipated to be incurred during such succeeding calendar month, plus or minus any adjustments for costs incurred in prior months but not previously charged or credited to the Participating Parties under the provisions of Section 7.4 or this Section 7.6 hereof. The Agent will give the Participating Parties as much notice as is reasonably practicable of any major anticipated cost. The Participating Parties shall make payment into the applicable Capital Account in immediately available funds, in proportion to their respective Ownership Interests in such Additional Unit, of such additional Cost of Construction and their respective shares of such Fuel Costs (in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof and Section 4.3 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement) during such succeeding month in accordance with the schedule determined and delivered to them by the Agent. Each such notification made by the Agent of anticipated costs and adjustments shall be

accompanied and adjusted by an accounting of costs incurred and credits, if any, received for preceding months. The Participating Parties shall have until the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the receipt of such accounting from the Agent for any charge or credit made to it pursuant to this Section to question or contest the correctness of such charge or credit after which time the correctness of such charge or credit shall be conclusively presumed; provided, that such period of time shall be interpreted pursuant to the agreement of the Parties referenced by Section 9.15(i) of the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement. The Agent will provide OPC, MEAG and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with such information as is reasonably required by them in order to account for such payments and for retirements on their books.

Section 7.7 Non-Payment. In the event of a failure of a Participating Party to make any payment when due under this Agreement, the rights of the Participating Parties shall be as set forth in this Section 7.7. In addition to the contractual rights set forth in this Section 7.7, the Participating Parties also establish their entitlement to the output of capacity and energy of the Additional Units as expressed in Sections 7.7(b), 7.7(c) and 7.7(e) of this Agreement as covenants running with the land, which shall be binding not only on the Participating Parties but also on the successors in title of the Participating Parties and on any other person acquiring or attempting to perfect or enforce any interest in or other right with respect of the Ownership Interest of any Participating Party who takes with notice of this Agreement or of the co-ownership of the Additional Units by the Participating Parties.

(a) There shall be added to such overdue amount interest from the date such payment was due, compounded monthly until paid, at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus five percentage points (5%).

(b) Such non-paying Participating Party shall have no right to any output of capacity or energy of either Additional Unit or to exercise any other right of a Participating Party until all amounts overdue, together with interest at the rate provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.7, have been paid either into the applicable Construction Account, the applicable Capital Account, or to another Participating Party which has paid such overdue amount on behalf of such non-paying Participating Party, as appropriate. Such overdue amounts, together with such interest, shall be paid into the applicable Construction Account or the applicable Capital Account only to the extent that such amounts have not been paid by another Participating Party pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 7.7. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 7.7, if GPC is the non-paying Participating Party, GPC, as Agent, shall continue the planning, licensing, design, construction, acquisition, completion, startup, commissioning, renewal, addition, replacement, modification and Decommissioning of the Additional Units in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, unless it has been removed as agent pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof. Subject to the rights of the Participating Parties pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 7.7 to the output of capacity and energy when making payments on behalf of a non-paying Participating Party, the Agent may sell the output of capacity and energy of the non-paying Participating Party from either or both of the Additional Units, including a sale to another Party, until all amounts due from the non-paying Participating Party, together with interest at the rate provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.7, have been paid into the applicable Construction Account or the applicable Capital Account. Any such sale of output of capacity and energy of the Additional Units shall not relieve the non-paying Participating Party from any liability under this Section 7.7 on account of such non-payment, except that the net proceeds of such sale shall be applied in

reduction of the liability of such non-paying Participating Party arising from such non-payment. Any such net proceeds in excess of the amount of such liability of the non-paying Participating Party shall be applied as a credit against future payments due from such non-paying Participating Party under this Agreement.

(c) In the event of a failure of a Participating Party to make any payment when due pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, any other Participating Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after notice to all other Participating Parties to make such payment on behalf of the non-paying Participating Party and to be promptly reimbursed in full therefor by such non-paying Participating Party, together with interest at the rate provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.7. In addition, subject to the provisions of clause (d) of this Section 7.7, the entitlement to the output of capacity and energy of the Additional Units of any Participating Party exercising the right to make such overdue payment on behalf of the non-paying Participating Party shall be increased in proportion to the amount of the payment made by such paying Participating Party (pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 7.7(c)), and such paying Participating Party shall be responsible for the payment of the pro rata share of Fuel Costs and of Operating Costs (as defined in the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement) associated with such increased entitlement of output of capacity and energy. The Participating Party making such payments on behalf of the non-paying Participating Party shall be entitled to such increased output of capacity and energy so long as it has not been reimbursed by the non-paying Participating Party in full for all such payments, together with interest at the rate provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.7. In the event two or more Participating Parties shall determine to exercise the aforesaid rights, unless such Participating Parties shall otherwise agree, the respective portions of such overdue payment which each shall have the right to pay, and their

respective shares of the output of capacity and energy of the applicable Additional Unit(s) shall be so increased, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the proportion which their Weighted Ownership Interests in the Additional Units bear to each other. Any then remaining output of capacity and energy of the Additional Units of a non-paying Participating Party may be sold by the Agent, including a sale to another Party, until all amounts due from such non-paying Participating Party, together with interest at the rate provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.7, have been paid either into the applicable Construction Account, the applicable Capital Account, or to another Participating Party which has paid such overdue amount on behalf of such non-paying Participating Party, as appropriate. Any such sale of such output of capacity and energy of the Additional Units shall not relieve the non-paying Participating Party from any liability under this Section 7.7 on account of such non-payment, except that the net proceeds of such sale shall be applied in reduction of the liability of such non-paying Participating Party arising from such non-payment. Any such net proceeds in excess of the amount of such liability of the non-paying Participating Party shall be applied as a credit against future payments due from such non-paying Participating Party under this Agreement or the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, as applicable.

(d) If the failure of a Participating Party to make a payment is in respect of a payment due before Commercial Operation of the applicable Additional Unit, and if any overdue amount, together with interest at the rate provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.7, if required, has not been paid by the non-paying Participating Party for a period of one (1) year or more (even though it may have been paid by another Participating Party on behalf of the non-paying Participating Party), each of the other Participating Parties shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to all other Participating Parties, which right may not be defeated by any offer or

tender made in an attempt to cure the default during the ninety (90) days immediately succeeding such one (1) year period (but may be cured thereafter if the Participating Parties have not exercised their rights under this Section 7.7(d)), to exercise, any one or more of the following options in the proportion which their Weighted Ownership Interests in the Additional Units bear to each other, unless such Participating Parties agree to a different proportion:

(i) Purchase free of any encumbrances the non-paying Participating Party’s Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit(s) by paying to the non-paying Participating Party its cost as of the date of default and by paying the aggregate of any amounts unpaid by the non-paying Participating Party as of the Effective Date either into the applicable Construction Account or to a Participating Party (including itself) which has paid such aggregate overdue amount on behalf of such non-paying Participating Party, as appropriate, all subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the non-paying Party’s ability to receive a release from any encumbrance upon its Ownership Interest. Thereafter, the purchasing Participating Party or Parties shall be entitled to all the selling Participating Party’s rights and be responsible for the performance of all the selling Participating Party’s obligations hereunder (except the obligation to pay interest owed pursuant to Section 7.7(a)) and under the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement relating to the applicable Additional Unit(s) (including without limitation the payment of the applicable Cost of Construction, Fuel Costs and Operating Costs). The selling Party shall thereupon be relieved from such obligations (except the obligation to pay interest owed pursuant to Section 7.7(a)) and any other obligations to third parties incidental thereto, which shall be assumed by the purchasing Participating Party or Parties, and the other Participating Parties shall look solely to the purchasing Participating Party or Parties for the performance of such obligations.

(ii) Purchase, from time to time, free of any encumbrances, a fractional part of the non-paying Participating Party’s Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit(s), which shall be designated by the purchasing Participating Party or Parties, by paying to the non-paying Participating Party its cost of such fractional interest as of the date of default and by paying the aggregate of any amounts unpaid by the non-paying Participating Party with respect to such fractional interest as of the Effective Date either into the applicable Construction Account or to a Participating Party (including itself) which has paid such aggregate overdue amount on behalf of such non-paying Participating Party, as appropriate, all subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the non-paying Participating Party’s ability to receive a release from any encumbrance upon the ownership interest being conveyed. Thereafter, the purchasing Participating Party or Parties shall be entitled to all the selling Participating Party’s rights and be responsible for performance of all the selling Participating Party’s obligations hereunder (except the obligation to pay interest owed pursuant to Section 7.7(a)) and under the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement relating to such fractional interest (including without limitation the payment of the applicable Cost of Construction, Fuel Costs and Operating Costs applicable to the fractional interest so purchased). The selling Participating Party shall thereupon be relieved from such obligations (except the obligation to pay interest owed pursuant to Section 7.7(a)) and any other obligations to third parties incidental thereto, which shall be assumed by the purchasing Participating Party or Parties, and the other Participating Parties shall look solely to the purchasing Participating Party or Parties for the performance of such obligations. The selling Participating Party shall not by the completion of any such transaction be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement except as in this Section 7.7(d)(ii) specifically set forth herein. In addition, to the extent permitted by regulatory authorities and its other contractual obligations,

the selling Participating Party shall be obligated to use the funds it receives from the completion of any such transaction to make payments toward the amounts, if any, then due from it under this Agreement and shall, in furtherance of the carrying out of such obligation, use its best efforts to request and obtain from any person holding an encumbrance on its Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit(s) any funds on deposit with such person attributable to the completion of any such transaction

(iii) Subject to applicable regulatory approvals, invest from time to time additional funds in the applicable Additional Unit(s) and have the respective Ownership Interests of all the Participating Parties in the applicable Additional Unit(s) adjusted from time to time so that their respective Ownership Interests in the applicable Additional Unit(s) will be the same as that which their respective aggregate payments of the Cost of Construction of the applicable Additional Unit(s) bears to the total Cost of Construction of the applicable Additional Unit(s) as of the date of the adjustment. The non-paying Participating Party shall convey by general warranty deed and other appropriate instruments such portion of its Ownership Interest as is required to effect such adjustment, subject only to any then existing first mortgage or deed to secure debt on its interest and shall use its best efforts to obtain releases from such encumbrances of the portion of its Ownership Interest being transferred to accomplish the adjustment. The grantee or grantees under such deed and instruments shall agree to assume and undertake the performance of all the obligations of the grantor relating to the applicable Additional Unit(s) under any mortgage or security deed to which the property conveyed is subject, other than the payment of interest or principal on any debt.

(e) Subject to any required regulatory approvals, any other Participating Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after notice to all other Participating

Parties to make a loan directly to the non-paying Participating Party, and to receive adequate security therefor. Such loans shall bear a reasonable rate of interest. The Participating Party making such a loan may receive, at its option, an appropriate portion of the output of capacity and energy of the Additional Units to which the non-paying Participating Party is otherwise entitled at a cost reflecting the interest rate charged on such loan. In the event two or more Participating Parties shall determine to exercise the aforesaid rights, unless such Participating Parties shall otherwise agree, the money shall be advanced, and their respective security interests shall be received, on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the proportion which their Weighted Ownership Interests in the Additional Units bear to each other. GPC further agrees that if it should be a non-paying Participating Party, it will, if so requested, use its best efforts to permit said loan to be made in the form of a purchase by the other Participating Party or Parties of its first priority bonds, which shall bear interest at the lowest rate, and be for the shortest term, as that provided in any of the bonds which were offered and sold in the last public sale of its bonds. To that end, GPC shall take all action and execute, and file where appropriate, all legal documents which shall be reasonably requested by the Participating Party or Parties seeking to make the loan for the purpose of causing additional bonds to be issued, which bonds may be purchased by the other Participating Party or Parties. The Participating Parties agree to take all action and execute, and file where appropriate, all legal documents reasonably requested by the other Participating Parties to complete the transactions contemplated by the foregoing provisions.

(f) In addition to all other rights of the Participating Parties pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.7, the other Participating Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any payment of interest or principal due and owing from any Participating Party in respect of the financing of such Participating Party’s obligations hereunder,

which such Participating Party fails to make when due, and in each such case to be promptly reimbursed in full therefor by such Participating Party, together with interest at the rate provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.7. Payments necessary to be made to obtain a release contemplated by Section 7.7(d) from any encumbrances on a Participating Party’s Ownership Interest in the applicable Additional Unit(s) may also be made by the non-defaulting Participating Party or Participating Parties and such Participating Parties shall be reimbursed as provided above.

(g) Any selling Participating Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.7(d)(i) or (ii) shall take all action and execute, and file where appropriate, all legal documents which shall be reasonably requested by the purchasing Participating Party or Parties to complete the transaction of purchase and sale, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, using its best efforts to obtain a release of the Ownership Interest being conveyed from any mortgage, deed to secure debt or other encumbrance on such interest and to obtain the approval of the transaction by any regulatory or other authority the approval of which is required. In addition, any Participating Party in default in making payments under this Agreement shall use its best efforts to take any and all such further action and execute, and file where appropriate, any and all such further legal documents and papers as may be reasonably requested by a Participating Party not in default which would have the purpose of facilitating the carrying out of this Agreement or otherwise effectuating its purpose, which shall include, but not be limited to, action to seek any required regulatory or other approval or to obtain any other required consent, release, funds on deposit or amendment or other legal document. The Participating Parties further agree not to take any action, or otherwise consent to any agreement or amendment to any agreement, which would expressly prohibit, or the purpose of which is to make illegal or to

hinder or prevent, the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement in the event of a default by a Participating Party.

(h) In the event OPC fails to make any payment when due under this Agreement, the Agent will give prompt written notice of such default to the Rural Utilities Service in substantially the form of the notice attached hereto as Exhibit D, provided that inadvertent failure to provide such notice shall not be deemed a breach by the Agent of its obligations hereunder.

(i) In the event the Agent undertakes to sell any of the output of capacity and energy of a non-paying Participating Party from either of the Additional Units pursuant to Section 7.7(b) or 7.7(c), the Agent will use reasonable efforts to make any such sale on commercially reasonable terms, taking into account the facts and circumstances existing at the time of such sale. The maximum term of any such sale shall be a period of time reasonably determined by the Agent after consultation with the non-paying Participating Party; provided that, for the first one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Agent undertakes to make such sales, the maximum term of any such sale shall be one (1) month.

Section 7.8 Cost Audits. In addition to the right to conduct management audits pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof, each Participating Party shall have the right to conduct, at its own expense, audits of the Cost of Construction, Fuel Costs and any other costs charged to and paid by such Participating Party pursuant to this Agreement. To enable each Participating Party to conduct such audits, the Agent will provide, during normal business hours and subject to conditions consistent with the conduct by the Agent of its responsibilities, any Participating Party, its officers, employees, agents or representatives (including without limitation any auditor utilized by such Participating Party, or any nationally recognized accounting firm designated by

such Participating Party or by the Administrator of the Rural Utilities Service), with access to books, records, contracts and other documents of the Agent related to its performance (including, without limitation, all agreements between the Agent and any of its Affiliates, and any amendments) and any contracts entered into by the Agent on behalf of the Participating Parties, and, upon such Participating Party’s reasonable request, copies thereof, which set forth (a) costs applicable to Cost of Construction, Fuel Costs and other costs for each Additional Unit to the extent necessary to enable the auditors of such Participating Party to verify that the costs have been properly billed to the Agent or to such Participating Party pursuant to the provisions of applicable agreements, and (b) matters relating to the planning, licensing, design, construction, acquisition, completion, startup, commissioning, renewal, addition, replacement, modification and Decommissioning of either Additional Unit in proceedings before any governmental authority having jurisdiction.

Section 7.9 Billing Disputes.

(a) No payment made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any right of the Participating Parties to question or contest the correctness of any charge or credit by the Agent, subject to the time periods provided herein. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the disputing Participating Party and the Agent, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, under, or relating to this Article 7 (a “Billing Dispute”), shall be negotiated in good faith in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.9. The disputing Participating Party shall first submit the Billing Dispute to the Accounting Services Committee. If, after thirty (30) days (or any time earlier if the disputing Participating Party or the Agent wishes to have the Nuclear Managing Board consider the issue) such discussions are unsuccessful, then the Billing Dispute will be submitted to the Nuclear Managing Board for

resolution through discussions among the members of the Nuclear Managing Board. If, after thirty (30) days (or any time earlier if the disputing Participating Party or the Agent wishes to have the CEOs consider the issue) such Nuclear Managing Board discussions are unsuccessful, then the chief executive officers (the “CEOs”) of the Participating Parties and the Agent shall consider the issue.

(i) The process of “good-faith negotiations” requires that the disputing Participating Party and the Agent set out in writing to the other its reason(s) for adopting a specific conclusion or for selecting a particular course of action, together with the subordinate facts supporting such conclusion or course of action.

(ii) The good faith negotiation process shall also include at least two meetings of the CEOs. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the first meeting shall take place within ten (10) calendar days after the Nuclear Managing Board has failed to resolve the Billing Dispute. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the second meeting shall take place no more than ten (10) calendar days later. In the event the CEO for the Agent refuses to attend a negotiation meeting of the CEOs, then the disputing Participating Party may proceed immediately to litigation concerning the Billing Dispute.

(iii) In the event the disputing Participating Party and the Agent remain unsuccessful in resolving a Billing Dispute for a period of eighty (80) days after the initiation of the good faith negotiation process, then either of them may proceed immediately to litigation concerning the Billing Dispute.

(b) Each Participating Party and the Agent hereby agree that all statements made in the course of dispute resolution, as contemplated in Section 7.9(a), shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to or shared with any third parties (other than counsel and any other person

whose presence is necessary to facilitate the dispute resolution process). Each Participating Party and the Agent agree and acknowledge that no statements made in or evidence specifically prepared for dispute resolution under Section 7.9 shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent litigation.

Section 7.10 Right of Lenders to Make Payments. The Agent and the Participating Parties acknowledge that one or more of the Participating Parties anticipate financing their respective Ownership Interests in the Additional Units by borrowing money from one or more third party lenders. The Agent and the Participating Parties agree that any such lender shall be entitled (but will not be obligated) to make payments (including any interest owed as provided in Section 7.7(a)) directly to the Agent or to any other Participating Party with respect to amounts owed by its borrower under this Agreement, and any such payments shall be credited by the recipient to the account of the Participating Party on whose behalf the payment was made and shall be treated as a payment made directly by such Participating Party.

ARTICLE VIII

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

The Participating Parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Section 8.1 No Adverse Distinction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in discharging their respective responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, neither the Agent, as agent or as a Participating Party, nor any of the other Participating Parties shall make any adverse distinction between either or both of the Additional Units and any other generating unit (including an Additional Unit) in which it has an interest because of its co-ownership of such Additional Unit(s) with the other Participating Parties.

Section 8.2 Remedies.

(a) Except as limited by Sections 4.2(d) and 5.3 of this Agreement, a Participating Party or Participating Parties may take any action, in law or equity, to enforce this Agreement and to recover for any loss or damage (including consequential damages), including attorneys’ fees and collection costs, incurred by reason of any breach of this Agreement or default under this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) the Agent or any non-defaulting Participating Party shall have the right at any time, and from time to time to ▇▇▇ a non-paying Participating Party to recover any amount paid by such Participating Party or enforce payment of any and all amounts (together with interest and attorneys’ fees, if applicable) which a non-paying Participating Party is obligated by this Agreement to pay but has not paid and/or to recover any increased costs incurred by the Agent or the non-defaulting Participating Party as a consequence of the failure of another Participating Party to make payments for which it is obligated under the term of this Agreement;

(ii) any non-defaulting Participating Party shall have the right at any time, and from time to time to set off against amounts owed other than under this Agreement by a non-defaulting Participating Party to a Participating Party in default any amounts due such non-defaulting Participating Party from the defaulting Participating Party under the terms of this Agreement;

(iii) any Participating Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to seek a declaratory judgment with respect to rights and obligations of the Parties under Section 7.7 of this Agreement and under the terms of the deed executed pursuant to Section 4.9(a) of this Agreement; and

(iv) any Participating Party shall have the right at any time, and from time to time to ▇▇▇ for an accounting among the other Parties so long as such accounting is in aid of the exercise of any other right of a Participating Party under Section 7.7.

(v) Each Participating Party acknowledges, understands and agrees that a breach of the requirements on the part of any Participating Party, including the Agent, to provide information to another Participating Party or Participating Parties, including those obligations contained in Sections 5.6, 5.7 and 7.8 and Article VI, will result in irreparable damage and harm to the non-breaching Participating Party and that the non-breaching Participating Party will not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of any such breach. Each Participating Party, therefore, agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any such requirements, the non-breaching Participating Party may at its election and in any court of competent jurisdiction: (a) obtain specific performance by the breaching Participating Party of such requirements to provide information; (b) obtain temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent noncompliance with or breaches of such requirements to provide information; or (c) pursue any one or more of the foregoing or any other remedy available to it. Each Participating Party hereby waives any requirement that a non-breaching Participating Party post any bond or other security in connection with the enforcement of such requirements to provide information. In the event that any action should be brought to enforce the provisions of such requirements to provide information, no Participating Party will allege, and each Participating Party hereby waives, the defense or counterclaim that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(c) A non-breaching Participating Party will not, by seeking or obtaining any particular relief, be deemed to have precluded itself from obtaining any other relief to which it

may be entitled, including enforcing any remedies or seeking any relief as provided under Section 7.7.

(d) No delay or failure to exercise any right or remedy herein provided shall impair the right to exercise any such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of such right or remedy or of any default by a party, including enforcing any remedies or seeking any relief as provided under Section 7.7.

Section 8.3 Cooperation. The Participating Parties and the Agent will cooperate with each other in all activities relating to either or both of the Additional Units, including the filing of applications for authorizations, permits or licenses and the execution of such other documents as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. Without the Agent’s written consent, no Party (other than a Party that is the Agent) shall incur any obligation which would or could obligate the Agent to any third party.

Section 8.4 Approvals. The Participating Parties and the Agent shall use their best efforts to obtain as quickly as possible all requisite judicial, governmental, regulatory and vendor approvals of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.5 Preservation of Ecology. The Agent shall acquire, construct and complete the Additional Units pursuant to this Agreement in such a manner as to maximize preservation of beauty, conservation of natural resources and minimize marring and scarring of the landscape and silting of streams. The Agent in the performance of such work shall use its reasonable best efforts not to deposit trash in streams or waterways, and not to deposit herbicides or other chemicals or their containers in or near streams or waterways or pastures.

Section 8.6 Safety. In the acquisition, construction and completion of the Additional Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall at all times take all reasonable precautions for

the safety of employees on the work and of the public, and shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and municipal safety laws and building and construction codes, including without limitation, all regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Section 8.7 Buy America.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Agent agrees that, upon request of OPC or the Administrator of the Rural Utilities Service, it shall provide OPC and the Administrator with such information, documents and certificates as may be requested with respect to any unmanufactured or manufactured articles, material and supplies acquired or to be acquired in connection with construction of any Additional Unit in which OPC has an Ownership Interest. The Agent agrees that, in the performance of this Agreement, it shall furnish or use or cause to be furnished or used only such unmanufactured articles, materials and supplies as have been mined or produced in the United States or any “eligible country” (as hereinafter defined), and only such manufactured articles, materials and supplies as have been manufactured in the United States or any eligible country substantially all from articles, materials or supplies mined, produced, or manufactured as the case may be, in the United States or any eligible country; provided, that other articles, materials and supplies may be used to the extent the Administrator shall expressly in writing authorize such use pursuant to the Rural Electrification Act of 1936. “Eligible country” shall mean any country that applies with respect to the United States an agreement ensuring reciprocal access for United States products and services and United States suppliers to the markets of that country, as determined by the United States Trade Representative.

(b) OPC agrees to be responsible for any and all additional Cost of Construction and Fuel Costs resulting from the use of such articles, materials and supplies as may be required by OPC or the Administrator pursuant to this section and which would not otherwise have been used in the construction, acquisition and completion of the applicable Additional Unit and the applicable Related Facilities and for any other costs allocated from the Common Facilities or otherwise.

Section 8.8 Compliance with Laws. In the acquisition, construction and completion of the Additional Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations pertaining to the work. The Agent acknowledges that it is familiar with the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended, the Anti Kick-Back Act of 1986 (41 U.S.C. 51 et seq.) and regulations issued pursuant thereto, and 18 U.S.C. §§ 286, 287, 641, 661, 874, 1001, and 1366, as amended. The Agent understands that the obligations of the Parties hereunder are subject to the applicable regulations and orders of governmental agencies having jurisdiction in the premises.

Section 8.9 Equal Opportunity Clause. During the term of this Agreement, the Agent agrees as follows:

(a) The Agent will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, age or national origin. The Agent will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: Employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Agent agrees to post in

conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this Equal Opportunity Clause.

(b) The Agent will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Agent, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age or national origin. The Agent will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers’ representative of the Agent’s commitments under this Section 8.9, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

(c) The Agent will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and with the rules, regulations and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.

(d) The Agent will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to its books, records and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations and orders.

(e) In the event of the Agent’s noncompliance with this Section 8.9 or with any of the said rules, regulations or orders, this Agreement may be cancelled, terminated or suspended in whole or in part and the Agent may be declared ineligible for further government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and

remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

(f) The Agent will include this Equal Opportunity Clause and the No Segregation Clause set forth in Section 8.10 in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by the rules, regulations or order of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to Section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Agent will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance; provided, however, that in the event the Agent becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the Agent may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

Section 8.10 No Segregation. The Agent certifies that it does not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that it does not permit its employees to perform their services at any location, under its control, where segregated facilities are maintained. The Agent certifies further that it will not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that it will not permit its employees to perform their services at any location, under its control, where segregated facilities are maintained. The Agent agrees that a breach of this certification is a violation of the Equal Opportunity Clause in this Agreement. As used in this certification, the term “segregated facilities” means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, timeclocks, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities

provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive or are in fact segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. The Agent agrees that (except where it has obtained identical certifications from proposed subcontractors for specific time periods) it will obtain identical certifications from proposed subcontractors prior to the award of subcontracts exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity Clause, and that it will retain such certification in its files.

Section 8.11 Debarment and Suspension. The Agent represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its “principals” (as defined in 7 C.F.R. Part 3017) is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, voluntarily excluded or declared ineligible by any Federal department or agency from participation in any “covered transaction” (as defined in 7 C.F.R.

At such time as any portion of any Utility Line, with the consent of the Plant Vogtle Operating Agent, is dedicated (by deed or easement) to and accepted for maintenance by ▇▇▇▇▇ County, Georgia, or the applicable public utility company, the terms and provisions of such deed or easement to ▇▇▇▇▇ County or such public utility company shall control to the extent of any conflict with the terms and provisions hereof.

8. Consent; Approval; Reasonableness. (a) In all instances where Declarants are, or any Owner or any Additional Units Owner or the Plant Vogtle Operating Agent or the Additional Units Agent is, required herein to be reasonable or not to be unreasonable in a decision, action (including without limitation the exercise of any rights or easements established, granted, reserved or created by this Declaration) or the giving or withholding of consent or approval, then, in addition to any other applicable standards, the following standards shall apply:

(i) Declarants and Owners and Additional Units Owners intend that the provisions and agreements in this Declaration requiring Declarants or any Owner or any Additional Units Owner or the Plant Vogtle Operating Agent or the Additional Units Agent to act reasonably and not to unreasonably withhold consent or approval are valid and enforceable, and Declarants, Owners and Additional Units Owners each agree not to challenge the validity or enforceability of such provisions and agreements;

(ii) In determining whether Declarants or any Owner or any Additional Units Owner or the Plant Vogtle Operating Agent or the Additional Units Agent is deciding or has decided or is acting or has acted reasonably or unreasonably, or has reasonably or unreasonably given or is reasonably or unreasonably giving or has reasonably or unreasonably withheld or is reasonably or unreasonably withholding its consent or approval, the views and arguments of the parties shall be taken into account and common sense shall be applied;

(iii) What is reasonable in the context of the construction, operation and maintenance of a nuclear electric power generating plant shall be taken into account;

(iv) What is reasonable in the context of Good Utility Practices shall be taken into account;

(v) Whether the requested action is the least likely, out of the alternatives reasonably available, to impede or damage the property or operations (including but not limited to Plant Vogtle and the Generating Plant(s) located or contemplated to be located on the Additional Units Property) of the other Owners and Additional Units Owners shall be taken into account; and

(vi) The failure of Declarants or any Owner or any Additional Units Owner or the Plant Vogtle Operating Agent or the Additional Units Agent to pay or provide something of value to Declarants or any Owner or any Additional Units Owner or the Plant Vogtle Operating Agent or the Additional Units Agent where this Declaration does not specifically require the same as a condition of approval or consent is not grounds or justification for withholding consent or approval, and withholding consent or approval on account of such failure shall be deemed unreasonable.

(b) With respect to any provision of this Declaration providing for the consent or approval of Declarants, the Plant Vogtle Operating Agent, the Additional Units Agent, any Owner or any Additional Units Owner (the “Consenting Party”), failure of the Consenting Party to give the requesting Owner or Additional Units Owner or Plant Vogtle Operating Agent or

Additional Units Agent written notice of disapproval of a request (for such notice to be effective, such disapproval must include reasonable detail specifying the reasons for disapproval) within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice of such request shall be deemed approval thereof.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person or entity which now has or hereafter acquires any right, title, estate, or interest in or to any portion of the Overall Property is and shall conclusively be deemed to have consented, agreed to and be bound by all of the covenants and agreements contained herein, whether or not any reference to this Declaration is contained in the instrument by which such person or entity acquires its interest in said portion of the Overall Property.

(b) Interpretation. This Declaration shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, and the rule requiring a document to be construed most strictly against the party drafting such document shall be inapplicable to this Declaration.

(c) Enforcement. The violation or breach of any covenant or agreement herein contained shall give any Owner, after notice of such violation or breach has been given to the Owner violating or breaching any such covenant or agreement, the right to prosecute a proceeding at law or in equity against the person or entity which has violated or is attempting to violate any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and to enjoin or prevent such party from doing so or to cause said violation to be remedied or to recover damages for said violation, which rights shall be in addition to, and not to the exclusion of, the rights of enforcement granted under the express terms of this Declaration or under the Ownership and Operating Documents. Any failure to enforce any covenants contained herein shall in no event be deemed to be a waiver of the right to do so thereafter nor of any right to enforce any other covenant hereof. All remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not exclusive.

(d) Severability. All rights, powers and remedies provided herein may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate applicable law and shall be limited to the extent necessary to render this Declaration valid and enforceable. If any term, provision, covenant or agreement contained herein or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Declaration or the application of such term, provision, covenant or agreement to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable.

Any notice, request, consent or other communication permitted or required by this Agreement shall (a) be made in writing signed by the party making it; (b) specify the Section to which it relates; (c) be delivered (i) in person, (ii) by a nationally recognized next business day delivery service electing, and being timely delivered to such service for, next business day delivery, or (iii) by fax and with a confirming copy sent by a nationally recognized next business day delivery service electing, and being timely delivered to such service for, next business day delivery; (d) unless given in person, be given to the address

If the Owner giving notice hereunder (the “Notifying Owner”) shall have previously received from any other Owner or from the holder of any Security Instrument written notice in the manner provided in this Paragraph 9(e), specifying the name and address of such holder of such Security Instrument and requesting that such Notifying Owner give to such holder a copy of each notice of default by the Owner (the “Defaulting Owner”) whose interest in the Additional Units Site or Vogtle Property is subject to such Security Instrument at the same time as and whenever any such notice of default shall thereafter be given by Notifying Owner to Defaulting Owner, then

Notifying Owner shall comply with such request by giving such notice, addressed to such holder at the address last furnished to Notifying Owner. The Owners shall accept performance by such holder of any covenant, condition or agreement on Defaulting Owner’s part to be performed hereunder with the same force and effect as though performed by Defaulting Owner, if, at the time of such performance (or prior thereto), Owners shall be (or shall have been) furnished with evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the Security Instrument and the interest in the Additional Units Site or Vogtle Property created thereby claimed by such holder tendering such performance.

(f) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Declaration.

(g) Waiver. The failure of any Owner to exercise any right given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any term, condition or covenant specified herein, shall not constitute a waiver of such Owner’s right to exercise such right or to demand strict compliance with any such term, condition or covenant under this Declaration.

(h) Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in the Additional Units Ownership Agreement, this Declaration may be amended, modified and supplemented in compliance with applicable law as the Owners shall from time to time deem to be appropriate, but only upon the agreement of the Owners collectively owning in the aggregate one hundred percent (100%) of the Vogtle Property (calculated based on the undivided interests owned in the various portions of the Vogtle Property), and (ii) the Additional Units Owners collectively owning in the aggregate one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Units Property (calculated based on the undivided interests owned in the various portions of the Additional Units Property), and (iii) in the event such amendment, modification or supplement relates to or affects property removed from the Vogtle Property pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof, the Owners collectively owning in the aggregate not less than one hundred percent (100%) of such removed property (calculated based on the undivided interests owned in the various portions of such removed property).

Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Declaration shall not be binding on the holder of any first priority Security Instrument unless either (a) the holder thereof

consents in writing to such amendment, modification or supplement, or (b) such consent is not required pursuant to the terms of such Security Instrument.

(i) Termination of Liability. In the event any Owner shall convey, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of all of its interest in any portion of the Overall Property, it shall thereupon be released and discharged from any and all obligations and liabilities under this Declaration with respect to such portion of the Overall Property for the breach of any covenant or agreement in this Declaration (except those accruing prior to such conveyance, transfer, assignment or other disposition), and such liabilities and obligations shall thereafter be binding upon the successor in title to such Owner.

(j) Exhibits. Exhibits “A”, “B” and “C” attached hereto are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

(k) Successors and Assigns. This Declaration and the covenants and agreements made and the easements granted hereunder shall run with the land and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Declarants and each Owner and each Additional Units Owner and their respective successors, successors-in-title and assigns.

(l) Estoppels. Upon the request of an Owner (the “Requesting Owner”) and payment by the Requesting Owner of a reasonable fee, in connection with the sale, long term ground lease, financing or refinancing of such Owner’s Additional Units Site, each Owner will execute and deliver a certificate in favor of the applicable ground lessee, lender or purchaser certifying (i) the amount of any sums due the executing Owner from the Requesting Owner under the Additional Units Ownership Agreement, and (ii) whether, to the best of such executing Owner’s knowledge, the Requesting Owner is in default of any of its other duties or obligations under this Declaration. Such certificate shall be binding upon the executing Owner(s) and inure to the benefit of such lender, ground lessee or purchaser as of the date of its issuance.

(m) Further Assurances. Declarants agree that the intent of Declarants in executing this Declaration is, inter alia, to grant and reserve all easements necessary for the Additional Units Owners to construct and operate on each Additional Units Site a Generating Plant and incidental facilities ancillary thereto (and in the Temporary Area, a construction staging, office, laydown, parking and warehouse area ancillary to the Generating Plants on the Additional Units Property). Owners shall, from time to time, execute and deliver such amendments to this Declaration and such further instruments as any other Owner or its counsel may reasonably request to effectuate the intent of this Declaration and the Additional Units Ownership Agreement, including, but not limited to, documents necessary to correct any errors in this Declaration (including but not limited to the Exhibits hereto).

(n) Counterparts. This Declaration may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The executed signature pages of any counterpart hereof may be appended or attached to any other counterpart hereof; and, provided that all parties hereto shall have executed a counterpart hereof, this Agreement shall be valid and binding upon the parties notwithstanding the fact that the execution of all parties may not be reflected upon any one single counterpart.

(o) Consent. Each party to this Declaration (the “Representing Party”) hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that no consent to this Declaration, or release or subordination by any holder of a Security Instrument, is required under any instrument to which the Representing Party is a party in order to make this Declaration binding upon the holder of a Security Instrument granted by the Representing Party or in order to make this Declaration binding upon any third party with rights in and to the Overall Property granted by the Representing Party, except such as has been obtained.

(p) No Merger. The easements, rights and privileges granted by this Declaration shall not terminate as a result of any merger of title or any current or future common ownership of the Vogtle Property and Additional Units Property.

Grantor does hereby grant to Grantee the rights to, from time to time, construct, operate, maintain, renew and rebuild overhead and underground electric transmission, distribution and communication lines, together with necessary or convenient towers, frames, poles, wires, manholes, conduits, fixtures, appliances, and protective wires and devices in connection therewith (all being hereinafter referred to as “the Transmission Facilities”) upon or under the Premises, together with the right of Grantee to grant, or permit the exercise of, the same rights, either in whole or in part, to others, and said rights are granted to Grantee together with all rights, privileges and easements necessary or convenient for the full enjoyment and use of the Premises for the purposes above described, including without limitation the right of ingress and egress to and from the Premises over lands of Grantor and the right to cut away and keep clear, remove and dispose of all trees and undergrowth and to remove and dispose of all obstructions now on the Premises or that may hereafter be placed on the Premises by Grantor or any other person. Further, Grantee shall have the right to cut, remove and dispose of dead, diseased, weak or leaning trees (hereinafter referred to as “danger trees”) on lands of Grantor adjacent to the Premises which may now or hereafter strike, injure, endanger or interfere with the maintenance and operation of any of the Transmission Facilities located on the Premises, provided that on future cutting of such danger trees Grantee shall pay to Grantor the fair market value of the merchantable timber so cut, timber so cut to become the property of Grantee. Grantor shall notify Grantee of any party with whom it contracts, and who owns as a result thereof, any danger trees to be cut as set forth above. Grantee shall also have, and is hereby granted, the right to install, maintain and use anchors or guy wires on lands of Grantor adjacent to the Premises, and the right, when required by law or government regulations, to conduct scientific or other studies, including but not limited to environmental and archaeological studies, on or below the ground surface of the Premises.

Grantee shall pay or tender to Grantor or owner thereof a fair market value for any growing crops, fruit trees or fences cut, damaged or destroyed on the Premises by employees of Grantee and its agents, in the construction, reconstruction, operation and maintenance of the Transmission Facilities, except those crops, fruit trees and fences which are an obstruction to the use of the Premises as herein provided or which interfere with or may be likely to interfere with or endanger the Transmission Facilities or their proper maintenance and operation, provided Grantor shall give Grantee written notice of the alleged damage within thirty (30) days after the alleged damage shall have been done. Grantor shall notify Grantee of any party with whom Grantor contracts and who owns, as a result thereof, any growing crops, fruit trees or fences; and Grantor shall inform said party of the notification provision set forth herein. Any growing crops, fruit trees or fences so cut or damaged on the Premises in the construction, reconstruction, operation and maintenance of the Transmission Facilities are to remain the property of the owner thereof.

It is agreed that part of the consideration set forth in the Declaration is in full payment for all timber cut or to be cut in the initial clearing and construction of the Transmission Facilities and that timber so cut is to become the property of Grantee. Grantor will notify Grantee in the event Grantor has contracted with another party who owns as a result thereof the timber to be so cut.

Grantor has the right to use the Premises for agricultural or any other purposes not inconsistent with the rights hereby granted, provided such use shall not injure or interfere with the proper operation, maintenance, repair of, extensions or additions to the Transmission Facilities; and provided further that no buildings or structures other than fences (which shall not exceed eight (8) feet in height and shall neither obstruct nor otherwise interfere with any of the rights granted to Grantee hereby) may be erected upon the Premises.

Grantor expressly grants to Grantee the right to take any action, whether at law or in equity, and whether by injunction, ejectment or other means, to prevent the construction, or after erection thereof to cause the removal, of any building or other structure(s) located on the Premises (other than fences as provided for herein), regardless of whether the offending party is Grantor or not.

EXHIBIT C

CARRYING COSTS

For purposes of this Agreement, carrying costs for GPC shall be the cost of funds, including income taxes, calculated as follows:

The capital structure of GPC as shown on GPC’s most recent 10-K Report shall be calculated and broken down into four components, the sum of which totals to one (1.00):

(1) long term debt,

(2) preferred securities,

(3) preferred stock, and

(4) common equity.

The cost of long term debt shall be the current weighted average percentage cost of long term debt times the long term debt component of the capital structure.

The cost of preferred securities shall be the current weighted average percentage cost of preferred securities times the preferred securities component of the capital structure.

The cost of preferred stock shall be the current weighted average percentage dividend rate of such stock times the preferred stock component of the capital structure divided by the current Tax Factor (as defined below).

The cost of common equity shall be deemed to be 11.25% times the common equity component of the capital structure divided by the current Tax Factor (as defined below).

Where, Tax Factor = (1-S) (1-F), where S = the Georgia corporate income tax rate, and F = the effective federal corporate income tax rate.

GPC’s carrying costs shall be the sum of the four above determined percentage rates.

C-1

Example:

							Tax
	Component		Proportion		Cost		Component		Adjusted
Total L-Term Debt	$	4,162,872	41.47	%	4.15	%	1.72	%	1.72	%
Preferred Securities	969,073		9.65	%	6.14	%	0.59	%	0.59	%
Preferred Stock	14,609		0.15	%	4.60	%	0.01	%	0.02	%
Common Equity	4,890,561		48.72	%	11.25	%	5.48	%	8.94	%
Total	$	10,037,115	100.00	%			7.80	%	11.27	%

C-2

For purposes of this Agreement, carrying costs for OPC shall be the cost of funds, including income taxes, calculated as follows:

The capital structure of OPC as shown on OPC’s most recent 10-K Report shall be calculated and broken down into two components, the sum of which totals to one (1.00):

(1) long term debt, and

(2) equity.

The cost of long term debt shall be the current weighted average percentage cost of long term debt times the long term debt component of the capital structure.

For purposes of this Agreement, the cost of equity shall be deemed to be 11.25% times the equity component of the capital structure divided by the current Tax Factor (as defined above).

OPC’s carrying costs shall be the sum of the two above determined percentage rates.

C-3

Example:

							Tax
	Component		Proportion		Cost		Component		Adjusted
L-Term Debt	$	3,588253	89.64	%	5.25	%	4.71	%	4.71	%
Equity	414,759		10.36	%	11.25	%	1.17	%	1.90	%
Total	$	4,003,012.00	100.00	%			5.88	%	6.61	%

C-4

For purposes of this Agreement, carrying costs for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be the same carrying cost that is used in its AFUDC (Allowance for Funds Used During Construction) calculation on long term construction projects. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ uses it weighted cost of debt for its AFUDC rate.

Since ▇▇▇▇▇▇ issues series bonds, its weighted cost of debt changes each year as shorter termed bonds are retired. Consequently, unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ issues additional debt, its weighted cost of debt will increase each year as follows.

Year	▇▇▇▇▇▇ Carrying Costs (AFUDC Rate)

2005	5.141	%
2006	5.184	%
2007	5.227	%
2008	5.270	%

C-5

For purposes of this Agreement, carrying costs for MEAG shall be the cost of funds calculated as follows:

The project capital structure of MEAG for the purpose of paying MEAG’s share of the Cost of Construction shall be calculated and broken down into two components, the sum of which totals to one (1.00):

(1) The debt component incurred for the purpose of paying MEAG’s share of the Cost of Construction, and

(2) The equity component, including equity contributions from the participants of MEAG, paid in for the purpose of paying MEAG’s share of the Cost of Construction.

The cost of long term debt shall be the actual cost of funds borrowed for the purpose of paying MEAG’s share of the Cost of Construction times the long term debt component of the project financing.

For purposes of this Agreement, the cost of equity shall be deemed to be 11.25% times the equity component of the project financing.

MEAG’s carrying costs shall be the sum of the two above determined percentage rates.

MEAG shall provide any Participating Party that is required, pursuant to Section 7.4, to pay amounts attributable to MEAG’s carrying costs with all reasonably requested data, documentation and any other materials required to verify the calculation of the equity component of the carrying costs of MEAG as provided above.
