7.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND RETIREMENTS OF SAN XXXX PROJECT AND
PARTICIPANTS' SOLELY OWNED FACILITIES:
7.1 The Participants recognize that from time to time it may
be necessary or desirable to make Capital Improvements to and
retirements of facilities comprising the San Xxxx Project.
7.2 Any such Capital Improvements and retirements shall be
noted by an appropriate revision in or supplement to the appropriate
exhibits hereto attached.
7.3 The rights, titles and interests, including Participation
Shares, of a Participant in and to any Capital Improvements shall be as
provided for the respective classes of property described in Section 6.
The Participants shall be obligated for the costs of such Capital
Improvements in the same percentages as their Participation Shares.
7.4 All Capital Improvements, and a contingency allowance for
capital expenditures necessitated by an Operating Emergency or
otherwise deemed justifiable by the Operating Agent, shall be included
in the annual capital expenditures budget. The Engineering and
Operating Committee may authorize Capital Improvements not included in
the annual capital expenditures budget; provided, that such Capital
Improvements shall not exceed the sum of five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000) for each such Capital Improvement, unless also authorized by
the Coordination Committee.
7.5 The Operating Agent shall submit to the Participants a
forecast of cash requirements by months for Capital Improvements. Said
forecast will be submitted on a yearly basis after final budget
approvals have been made. A revised forecast shall be submitted when
the capital expenditures budget is revised, or when significant changes
in monthly expenditures from those previously forecast are anticipated.
The Operating Agent shall be authorized to make additional expenditures
related to Capital Improvements; provided, however, that such
additional expenditures for Capital Improvements shall not exceed the
sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or cause the total
expenditure limit contained in the capital expenditures budget to be
exceeded, unless also authorized by the Engineering and Operating
Committee, or by the Coordination Committee if the total expenditure
for such Capital Improvement exceeds five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000).
23
7.6 In the event of the removal or retirement of any
facilities comprising part of the San Xxxx Project, any proceeds
realized from the salvage of such facilities shall be distributed to
the Participants in accordance with their Participation Shares therein,
or shall be applied on account of the Participant's obligations to pay
for Capital Improvements replacing facilities removed or retired. Units
of Property retired from service shall be disposed of by the Operating
Agent on the best available terms as soon as practicable.
7.7 Each Participant shall have the right, at its own expense,
to add facilities to the Switchyard Facilities, provided the
Engineering and Operating Committee approves the design of such
additional facilities and determines that space is available therefor,
and that such committee also determines that such additional facilities
will not (i) infringe upon the rights of another Participant in the
Switchyard Facilities, (ii) unreasonably interfere with future
expansion plans at the San Xxxx Project, (iii) impair or interfere with
the contractual rights of another Participant, or (iv) jeopardize the
reliability of another Participant's system. The Engineering and
Operating Committee shall have authority to impose conditions on a
Participant allowed to make such additions in order to protect the
other Participants. Such facilities shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of the Participant installing same until and unless
the Coordination Committee determines that such facilities are
necessary and beneficial for operation of the San Xxxx Project as a
whole. In the event of such determination, the facilities shall be
acquired as a part of the San Xxxx Project by the Participants and
compensation shall be paid to the selling Participant by the
Participants acquiring such interest based on the net book value of
such facilities.
24
7.8 Each Participant shall have the right, at its own expense,
to add protective relay or communication equipment to facilities solely
owned by it, if the Participant determines the protective relay or
communication equipment is needed for the protection of its electric
system, provided the Engineering and Operating Committee approves the
design of such additional equipment and determines that space is
available therefor, and that such committee also determines that such
additional facilities will not (i) infringe upon the rights of another
Participant in the facilities, (ii) unreasonably interfere with future
expansion plans at the San Xxxx Project, (iii) impair or interfere with
the contractual rights of another Participant, or (iv) jeopardize the
reliability of another Participant's system.
7.9 Transportation and motorized equipment which is to be
utilized by the Operating Agent for Operating Work may be purchased or
leased by the Operating Agent upon receipt of the approval referred to
in Section 19.3.4. Ownership of such purchased equipment and the
purchase price thereof shall be allocated between and paid by the
Participants in proportion to the percentages established in Section 6.
Lease payments made by the Operating Agent for such leased equipment
shall be apportioned between and paid by the Participants in accordance
with Section 22.1. No allowance to the Operating Agent for
administrative and general expense shall be included in or added to
such lease payments for transportation and motorized equipment which,
in lieu of acquiring such equipment by purchase, has been leased on a
long-term basis.
25
7.10 Upon retirement of leased transportation and motorized
equipment utilized for Operating Work, an amount, which shall be
treated as a charge (or credit), shall be determined by multiplying the
difference between the salvage value and the unamortized balance owing
to the leasing company for each piece of such equipment by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the sum of the monthly lease payments for
such equipment charged to Operating Work and the denominator of which
is the sum of all monthly lease payments made by the Operating Agent
for such equipment. Such charge or credit shall be allocated among the
Participants in accordance with the applicable percentages set forth in
Section 22.
7.11 Administrative and general expenses which have been
incurred by the Operating Agent which are applicable to authorized
Capital Improvements, shall be applied monthly to construction costs
incurred during the preceding month. A rate will be developed by the
Operating Agent every three (3) years in conjunction with the
administrative and general ("A&G") expenses study referenced in
Attachment A to Exhibit VI. The current methodology for calculating the
A&G Ratio for Capital Improvements is set forth in Exhibit VI,
Attachment E. If any Participant believes that the method used in
determining the A&G Ratio for Capital Improvements results in an
unreasonable burden on such Participant(s), such Participant(s) may
request that said method used in determining said ratio be submitted to
the Auditing Committee for review in accordance with the procedures set
out in Sections 22.6.1 through 22.6.4.
7.12 Excluded from the charges in Section 7.11 are expenses
incurred under Section 36.2.
26
8.0 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO PARTITION:
8.1 The Participants accept title to their respective
interests in the San Xxxx Project, water rights, lands, land rights and
improvements thereon as tenants in common, and agree that their
interests therein shall be held in such tenancy in common for the
duration of the term of this Agreement, including any extensions
thereof. While this Agreement, including any extensions thereof,
remains in force and effect, each Participant agrees as follows:
8.1.1 That it hereby waives the right to partition
the San Xxxx Project, water rights, lands, land rights or the
improvements built thereon (whether by partitionment in kind
or by sale and division of the proceeds thereof), and

in equity to partition (in either such manner) the San Xxxx
Project, water rights, lands, land rights or the improvements
built thereon and waives the benefits of all laws that may now
or hereafter authorize such partition.
27

29
10.0 MORTGAGE AND TRANSFER OF PARTICIPANTS' INTERESTS:

11.0 RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL:
11.1 The purpose of this Section 11 is to set forth the manner
in which all existing or future rights of first refusal, pertaining to
the transfer of interests in the San Xxxx Project, shall be exercised.
Except as provided in Section 10, PNM has a right of first refusal with
respect to the proposed transfer of any ownership interest in the San
Xxxx Project by any Participant and TEP has a right of first refusal
with respect to PNM's proposed transfer of an interest in Unit 1 or
Unit 2 and associated common property. The existence of other rights of
first refusal shall be as provided in other instruments to which
Participants are parties. Nothing in this Section 11 shall be construed
to limit or expand the rights of first refusal of any Participant.
11.2 Except as provided in Section 10, should a Participant
desire to assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of (hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Assign") its rights, titles and interests
in the San Xxxx Project, or its rights, titles and interests in, to and
under the Project Agreements, or its rights, titles and interests in
the water rights, lands, land rights or the improvements thereon or any
part thereof or interest therein (hereinafter referred to as "Transfer
Interest"), to any person, company, corporation or governmental agency
(hereinafter referred to as "Outside Party"), the Participant desiring
to Assign shall first make an offer to sell the Transfer Interest to a
Participant(s) having a right of first refusal, on the basis of the
applicable amount as set out in either Section 11.2.1 or Section
11.2.2:
11.2.1 Where the Outside Party proposes to purchase
for a specified monetary amount, from the Participant desiring
to Assign, an interest only in the San Xxxx Project and/or in
contract rights, water rights, lands, land rights and
improvements associated therewith, the amount of (i) a bona
fide written offer from an Outside Party ready, willing and
able (subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals)
to purchase the Transfer Interest; or, in the absence of a
bona fide written offer, (ii) a purchase price set out in a
bona fide purchase and sale agreement between the Participant
desiring to Assign and an Outside Party ready, willing and
able (subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals)
to purchase the Transfer Interest; or
33
11.2.2 Where the Outside Party proposes to purchase
from the Participant desiring to Assign, (i) as part of a
non-monetary offer (such as in the case of an asset swap) or
(ii) when a segregated value for the Transfer Interest is not
available (such as in the case of a bundled or packaged sale
of assets), or (iii) where the Outside Party proposes to
purchase an interest not only in the San Xxxx Project and/or
in contract rights, water rights, lands, land rights and
improvements associated therewith, but also in other property
of the Participant desiring to Assign, the fair market value
of the Transfer Interest. As used herein, the term "fair
market value" means the amount of money which a purchaser,
willing but not obligated to buy the property, will pay to an
owner, willing but not obligated to sell it, taking into
consideration all of the uses to which the Transfer Interest
is adapted and might in reason be applied.
11.3 At least three (3) months prior to its intended date to
Assign, and after its receipt of a bona fide written offer, or
execution of a bona fide purchase and sale agreement, of the type
described in Section 11.2, the Participant desiring to Assign its
Transfer Interest shall serve written notice of its intention to do so
upon the Participant(s) having a right of first refusal, in accordance
with Section 42. Such notice shall: (i) have attached as an exhibit a
copy of the bona fide offer of an Outside Party or of the bona fide
purchase and sale agreement between the Outside Party and the
Participant desiring to Assign (an "Outside Offer"); and (ii) shall
contain a statement of the approximate proposed date to Assign.
34
11.4 The Participant(s) having the right of first refusal
shall signify its (their) desire to purchase the entire Transfer
Interest, or not purchase the entire Transfer Interest, by serving
written notice of its (their) intention upon the Participant desiring
to Assign pursuant to Section 42 within sixty (60) days after such
service pursuant to Section 11.3 of the written notice of intention to
Assign. Failure by a Participant to serve notice as provided hereunder
within the time period specified shall be conclusively deemed to be
notice of its intention not to purchase the Transfer Interest.
11.5 When intention to purchase the entire Transfer Interest
has been indicated by notices duly given hereunder by the
Participant(s) desiring to purchase the Transfer Interest, the affected
Participants shall thereby incur the following obligations:
11.5.1 The Participant desiring to Assign and a
Participant desiring to purchase the Transfer Interest shall
be obligated to proceed in good faith and with diligence to
obtain all required authorizations and approvals to Assign;
11.5.2 The Participant desiring to Assign shall be
obligated to obtain the release of any liens imposed by or
through it upon any part of the Transfer Interest and to
Assign the Transfer Interest at the earliest practicable date
thereafter; and
11.5.3 A Participant desiring to purchase the
Transfer Interest shall be obligated to perform all terms and
conditions required of it to complete the purchase of the
Transfer Interest.
35
The purchase of the Transfer Interest shall be fully consummated within
six (6) months following the date upon which all notices required to be
given under this Section 11 have been duly served, unless the
Participant is then diligently pursuing applications to appropriate
regulatory bodies (if any) for required authorizations to effect such
assignment or is then diligently prosecuting or defending appeals from
orders entered or authorizations issued in connection with such
applications.
11.6 If the intention to purchase the entire Transfer Interest
has not been indicated by notices given within the time periods
specified in this Section 11 by a Participant desiring to purchase the
Transfer Interest, the Participant desiring to Assign shall be free to
Assign all, but not less than all, of its Transfer Interest to the
Outside Party that made the Outside Offer, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Outside Offer. If such assignment of the
entire Transfer Interest to the Outside Party is not completed within
three (3) years after the approximate proposed date to Assign specified
in the notice given pursuant to Section 11.3, the Participant desiring
to Assign its Transfer Interest must, unless it is then diligently
pursuing its applications to appropriate regulatory bodies (if any) for
required authorizations to effect such assignment, or is then
diligently prosecuting or defending appeals from orders entered or
authorizations issued in connection with such applications, give
another complete new right of first refusal to the Participant(s)
desiring to purchase pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11,
before such Participant shall be free to Assign a Transfer Interest to
said Outside Party.
11.7 No assignment of a Transfer Interest, whether to another
Participant or to an Outside Party, shall relieve the assigning
Participant from full liability and financial responsibility for
performance after any such assignment: (i) of all obligations and
duties incurred by such Participant prior to such assignment under the
terms and conditions of the Project Agreements; and/or (ii) of all
obligations and duties provided and imposed after such assignment upon
such assigning Participant under the terms and conditions of the
Project Agreements, unless and until the assignee shall agree in
writing with the remaining Participants to assume the obligations and
duties of a Participant hereunder; provided further, however, that such
assignor shall not be relieved of any of its obligations and duties by
an assignment under this Section 11, without the express prior written
consent of the remaining Participants, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
36
11.8 Any transferee, successor or assignee, or any party who
may succeed to the Transfer Interest pursuant to this Section 11, shall
specifically agree in writing with the remaining Participants at the
time of such transfer or assignment that it will not transfer or assign
all or any portion of the Transfer Interest so acquired without
complying with the terms and conditions of this Section 11.
11.9 The provisions of Section 11.8 shall not be applicable to
any assignment of a Transfer Interest by one Participant to another
Participant, provided that payment in full of such Transfer Interest,
as defined in Section 11, has been made by the Participant who is the
assignee thereof.
11.10 A Participant may, for the purpose of financing its
interest in pollution control systems and facilities at the San Xxxx
Project, sell, transfer or convey such interests pursuant to the New
Mexico Pollution Control Revenue Bond Act, and any such sale, transfer
or conveyance shall not be deemed as an assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposal within the meaning of this Section 11.
37
12.0 RIGHTS OF PNM AND TEP IN WATER AND COAL:
12.1 If, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Coal
Sales Agreement, or the sublease dated August 18, 1980 (as amended to
date and as such sublease may be amended from time to time), between
Western Coal Company and Utah International, Inc. or their successors
("Sublease"), PNM and TEP succeed to any interest in coal lands, coal
leases, water rights, or other property, the rights, titles and
interests of PNM and TEP therein shall be held as tenants in common,
with each of PNM and TEP having an equal undivided one-half (1/2)
interest therein, and such rights, titles and interests shall be

on-site San Xxxx Project employees and operations-related departments
located off-site); provided, however, that limestone costs (chemicals)
chargeable to FERC Account 502 shall be apportioned among the
Participants in accordance with Section 23.3.2.1.
67
22.2.2 Administrative and General Expenses directly
chargeable to FERC Accounts 920, 921, 923, 926, 930.2, 931 and 935, by
on-site San Xxxx Project employees and by A&G related departments
located off-site as set forth in Exhibit VI, Attachment A, which have
not been included as a part of the A&G Ratio or charged to FERC Account
935, in accordance with Section 22.4. Such direct A&G charges must be
supported by the Operating Agent and are subject to audit and approval
by the Auditing Committee. If the Auditing Committee is unable to agree
on the appropriateness of direct A&G charges, the Auditing Committee
shall submit the entire matter to the Coordination Committee.
22.2.3 O&M Expenses chargeable to FERC Account 501
shall be apportioned among the Participants in accordance with Section

Project based on the number of megawatts of San Xxxx Project capacity
as a percentage of PNM's total generating capacity) chargeable to FERC
Accounts 556, 560 and 561 shall be apportioned among the Participants
in accordance with Section 22.1.7.
22.6 Payroll loads for administrative and general expenses,
payroll taxes, injuries and damages and pension and benefits, shall be
added to the monthly xxxxxxxx in proportion to the dollars of direct
labor billed and apportioned among the Participants in accordance with
Sections 22 and 23. The current methodologies for calculating the A&G
Ratio, Payroll Tax Ratio, Injuries and Damages Ratio and Pension and
Benefits Ratio are set forth in Exhibit VI (Attachments A, B, C and D
thereto), attached hereto and incorporated herein.
22.6.1 If any Participant believes that the method
used in determining A&G Ratio, Payroll Tax Ratio, Injuries and
Damages Ratio and Pension and Benefits Ratio, in accordance
with Exhibit VI (Attachments A, B, C and D thereto), results
in an unreasonable burden on such Participant(s), such
Participant(s) may request that said method used in
determining said ratios be submitted to the Auditing Committee
for review. After any such request, the Auditing Committee
shall review said method and shall endeavor to agree upon
whether or not said unreasonable burden does actually exist.
If, after such review, the Auditing Committee determines that
the application of said method does result in an unreasonable
burden on the Participant, the Auditing Committee shall
determine and recommend a modified method to the Coordination
Committee to eliminate such unreasonable burden. If, after
such review, the Auditing Committee is unable to agree upon
whether or not such unreasonable burden does exist or is
unable to agree on a modified method for eliminating said
unreasonable burden, the Auditing Committee shall submit the
entire matter to the Coordination Committee.
69
22.6.2 The Coordination Committee shall review the
recommendation of the Auditing Committee pursuant to Section
22.6.1. If, as a result of such review, the Coordination
Committee agrees that such unreasonable burden does exist and
that a modified method eliminates such unreasonable burden,
the Coordination Committee shall adopt said modified method.
22.6.3 If the Auditing Committee has not submitted a
recommended modified method and the Coordination Committee
agrees that such unreasonable burden does exist, the
Coordination Committee shall endeavor to agree on a modified
method. If, after such review, the Coordination Committee is
unable to agree that such unreasonable burden does exist or on
a modified method which will eliminate such unreasonable
burden, upon request of a Participant, either matter may be
submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 37.
22.6.4 Any modified method adopted by the
Coordination Committee or determined through arbitration shall
be retroactive for the length of the period of inequity up to
a maximum period of three (3) years and shall become effective
on the first day following such date of adoption.
70
22.7 As soon as possible after the end of each calendar year,
the Operating Agent shall calculate the actual ratios for: A&G, payroll
tax, injuries and damages, and pension and benefits for such year in
accordance with the methodologies described in Exhibit VI (Attachments
A, B, C and D thereto). To the extent such expenses are more or less
than those already paid by the Participants during said year, the
Operating Agent shall xxxx or credit the Participants for the amount of
such difference.
22.8 At the start of each calendar year, the Operating Agent
shall calculate new ratios for: A&G, payroll tax, injuries and damages
and pension and benefits. Such ratios shall be calculated in accordance
with the methodologies described in Exhibit VI (Attachments A, B, C and
D thereto). Such ratios may be adjusted to more nearly reflect the
anticipated expenses of the current year because of tax legislation,
labor contract negotiations or other factors not reflected in the prior
year's costs.
22.9 The Operating Agent shall xxxx to the requesting
Participant(s) the costs and expenses, including A&G expenses, incurred
by the Operating Agent (including, but not limited to, fees of outside
legal counsel or consultants, time of in-house legal counsel and other
employees and agents of the Operating Agent) in performing tasks
requested by a Participant in relation to (i) the offering or sale of
bonds or other type of security by a Participant in connection with the
acquisition or ownership of an interest in the San Xxxx Project; and
(ii) the attempted or contemplated sale by a Participant of any portion
of its ownership interest in the San Xxxx Project. The Operating Agent
shall establish and maintain appropriate accounting procedures to
identify such costs and expenses incurred by the Operating Agent.
71
23.0 FUEL COSTS:
23.1 The quantity of coal delivered to the San Xxxx Project
shall be determined by the belt scales, in accordance with the Coal
Sales Agreement.
23.2 The Operating Agent shall maintain a coal inventory
including an Emergency Coal Storage Pile for all Units, wherein the
Participants shall have Participation Shares as provided in Section
6.2.6. The Fuels Committee shall establish an optimum coal inventory
tonnage for all Units in total. Coal inventory shall be accounted for
in FERC Account 151.
23.3 Costs of the coal inventory and fuel expense shall be
apportioned among and paid for by the Participants on the following
basis:
23.3.1 Costs that are classified as Fixed Fuel
Expenses shall be charged to FERC Account 151. Such Fixed Fuel
Expenses shall then be charged monthly to FERC Account 501 and
shall be apportioned among and paid for by the Participants on
the basis of the percentage that each Participant's monthly
Net Energy Generation and auxiliary generation bears to the
total monthly Net Energy Generation and auxiliary generation.
The Fixed Fuel Expense balance in FERC Account 151 shall be
reduced to zero monthly by charging Fixed Fuel Expense to FERC
Account 501. Such Fixed Fuel Expense shall be adjusted to an
annual reconciliation among the Participants based on the
Participation Shares as provided in Section 6.2.6.
23.3.2 Costs that are classified as Variable Fuel
Expenses shall be charged to the fuel inventory or credited
(as withdrawn) to FERC Account 151 and such costs shall be
apportioned among and paid for by the Participants on the
basis of the Participation Shares as provided in Section
6.2.6. Variable Fuel Expenses related to coal requirements
shall be charged to FERC Account 501 as determined by dividing
the total number of tons of coal at the beginning of the
month, plus the coal delivered during the month, into the
total recorded variable cost and multiplying the cost per ton
so derived by the number of tons withdrawn. The Variable Fuel
Expenses shall be apportioned among and paid for by the
Participants on the basis of the percentage that each
Participant's monthly Net Energy Generation bears to the total
monthly Net Energy Generation of the Unit(s).
72
23.3.2.1 Limestone costs (chemicals)
chargeable to FERC Account 502 shall be apportioned among and
paid for by the Participants on the basis of the percentage
that each Participant's monthly Net Energy Generation bears to
the total monthly Net Energy Generation of the Unit(s).
23.3.3 All other Variable Fuel Expenses (including,
but not limited to, fuel oil, fuel handling and ash and gypsum
disposal) incurred which are chargeable to FERC Account 501
shall be apportioned among the Participants in accordance with
Section 23.3.2.
23.3.4 All Participants acknowledge and recognize the
terms and conditions of the Coal Sales Agreement, wherein,
among other terms and conditions, an annual Fixed Fuel Expense
must be paid by the San Xxxx Project each year to SJCC. Each
Participant shall pay its Participant's Minimum Fixed Fuel
Expense plus a proportional share of Excess Fixed Fuel
Expense. Such Excess Fixed Fuel Expense shall be allocated to
the Participants based on each Participant's percentage share
of Carry-over Tons created during that calendar year.
73
23.3.5 All Participants acknowledge and recognize
that the monthly allocation of Fixed Fuel Expenses based on
the monthly Net Energy Generation, as described in Section
23.3.1, may result in an individual Participant having been
allocated Minimum Fixed Fuel Expense and Excess Fixed Fuel
Expense equal to, less than, or greater than its proportional
share of such expenses. Any overpayment or underpayment of a
Participant's Minimum Fixed Fuel Expense and Excess Fixed Fuel
Expense shall be included as an adjustment to the final
Participant fuel invoices in a given year. Payments received
from Participants which have underpaid during the year shall
be used by the Operating Agent to pay SJCC for any Minimum
Fixed Fuel Expense not paid and to compensate other
Participants which have overpaid.
23.3.6 All Participants acknowledge and recognize the
provisions of the Coal Sales Agreement that create Carry-over
Tons. To the extent that Carry-over Tons are created and paid
for by individual Participants, the Carry-over Tons will be
allocated to each Participant's Carry-over Tons Account in
proportion to each Participant's allocation of Excess Fixed
Fuel Expense for the calendar year. At the direction of a
Participant, the Operating Agent shall transfer Carry-over
Tons from an individual Participant's Carry-over Tons Account
to another Participant's Carry-over Tons Account. Carry-over
Tons shall be accounted for on the basis of tonnage only, with
no financial value attached thereto. Participants shall apply
any existing Carry-over Tons from their account to the payment
of a minimum tonnage deficiency invoice. When Carry-over Tons
are used by the San Xxxx Project, Participants whose
Carry-over Tons Accounts are reduced shall be compensated by
Participants whose Carry-over Tons Accounts have no balance or
an inadequate balance to meet their obligation for the Annual
Minimum Coal Delivery. The value of this compensation shall be
based on the actual cost billed by SJCC.
74
23.3.7 All Participants acknowledge and recognize the
provisions of Exhibit VII, attached hereto and incorporated
herein, as representative of the allocation and billing
methodology agreed upon. Exhibit VII reflects the allocation
of expenses among the Participants based on actual expenses
incurred for fuel expense for the month of January 1993.
23.4 The Operating Agent shall provide the Participants a
monthly written report on the following items related to coal
deliveries at the San Xxxx Project:
23.4.1 Annual Minimum Coal Delivery for the year.
23.4.2 Annual Minimum Coal Delivery allocated among
the Participants.
23.4.3 Total actual coal deliveries by SJCC to the
San Xxxx Project for each month and for the year to date.
23.4.4 Total actual coal deliveries to the San Xxxx
Project for each month and for the year to date, allocated to
the Participants.
23.4.5 Total cost and tonnage of inventory allocated
to the Participants.
23.4.6 Fixed Fuel Expense and Variable Fuel Expense
allocated to the Participants for each month and for the year
to date.
23.4.7 Status of Carry-over Tons for the San Xxxx
Project, allocated to the Participants.
23.5 The Operating Agent shall replace the tons of coal
withdrawn from inventory on a ton for ton basis according to the coal
withdrawn from inventory for the month, except where modified to
reflect anticipated generation usage in the following month. The cost
of this replacement shall be apportioned among the Participants in
accordance with Sections 23.2 and 23.3.
75
23.6 In the event that SJCC defaults in its obligations under
the Coal Sales Agreement, the Operating Agent may assume or make such
arrangements for the assumption of such of SJCC's operation as
permitted by the Coal Sales Agreement. Costs associated with the coal
operations shall become a part of the Total Monthly Coal Cost as
applicable and, with the costs and expenses of fuel and emission
residuals and ash disposal, shall be apportioned between and paid for
by the Participants in accordance with this Section 23.
23.7 The monthly costs of coal allocated between the
Participants in accordance with this Section 23 shall be estimated by
the Operating Agent as soon as practicable after the end of each month
and a preliminary xxxx shall be presented and paid in the manner set
forth in Section 30.3.3. Adjustments in the estimated preliminary xxxx
due to quality and quantity of coal delivered, and estimates of
escalation, shall be made in the next succeeding month or on the
earliest possible billing thereafter.
23.8 In the event of a catastrophic occurrence which results
in a sustained outage of a Unit and a declaration that an
uncontrollable force exists under the Coal Sales Agreement, then in
such event, FERC Account 151 will be allocated to the commercial and
non-commercial Units. The portion of FERC Account 151 allocated to the
non-commercial Unit(s) shall remain frozen until such time as such
Unit(s) is restored to commercial operation. New costs of coal
chargeable to FERC Account 151 will be apportioned among the
Participants on the basis of the Participants' Participation Share in
the generating capacity of the commercial Units. At such time as a
damaged Unit is restored to commercial operation, the frozen portion of
Account 151 will be merged into the operating unit(s) portion of
Account 151 and to the extent that a Participant is adversely impacted
by an incremental increase in the average unit cost of coal an
allocation of such incremental cost will be made and the net difference
paid to the Participant having a credit balance.
76
23.9 The accounting practice as stated in this Section 23 is
applicable at the present time. If, however, at a later time the
practice is proven to be inadequate or another practice later proves to
be more equitable in the opinion of the Auditing Committee, the
Coordination Committee, upon the recommendation of the Auditing
Committee, may authorize changes and revisions to the accounting
practices.
77
24.0 ANNUAL BUDGETS:
24.1 Not less than ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of
each calendar year, the Operating Agent shall prepare and submit to the
Engineering and Operating Committee for its review and approval the

performance of Operating Work for such calendar year.
24.2 The Engineering and Operating Committee shall approve the
budgets described in Section 24.1 in final form not less than thirty
(30) days prior to their effective date. In the event that any such
budget is not so approved, the Operating Agent will nevertheless
continue to perform Operating Work in a manner consistent with Prudent
Utility Practice until such time as a budget has been approved.
24.3 Any information required from the Participants by the
Operating Agent in preparing such proposed budgets will be supplied by
the Participants, if possible, within thirty (30) days following a
request by the Operating Agent.
24.4 The Engineering and Operating Committee may at any time
during the year approve revisions to the approved capital expenditures
budget, manpower budget and a budget for the performance of Operating
Work.

taxing authority imposing any taxes or assessments on the San Xxxx
Project, assess and levy such taxes or assessments directly against
each Participant in accordance with its respective Participation Share
in the property taxed.
25.2 All taxes or assessments levied against each
Participant's ownership interest in the San Xxxx Project, excepting
those taxes or assessments levied against an individual Participant on
behalf of other Participants, shall be the sole responsibility of the
Participant upon whom said taxes and assessments are levied.
25.3 If any property taxes and other taxes and assessments are
levied and assessed in a manner other than specified in Section 25.1,
it shall be the responsibility of the Coordination Committee to
establish equitable standard practices and procedures for the
apportionment among the Participants of such taxes and assessments and
the payment thereof.
79
26.0 MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES:
26.1 The Operating Agent from time to time may increase or
reduce the inventory of Materials and Supplies by changing the maximum
or the minimum quantities to be maintained in inventory in accordance
with the procedures established by the Engineering and Operating
Committee.

inventory. The list shall be submitted to the Engineering and Operating
Committee by the Operating Agent for review and approval.
26.3 The Operating Agent shall purchase and take control of
Materials and Supplies for inventory, so that the total inventory of
Materials and Supplies on hand remains in accordance with the policies
established by the Engineering and Operating Committee.
26.4 Materials and Supplies withdrawn from inventory and used
in the operation and maintenance of the San Xxxx Project shall be
accounted for as a component of operation and maintenance expense and
allocated among the Participants in accordance with Section 22.
26.5 Materials and Supplies withdrawn from inventory and used
in connection with Capital Improvements shall be accounted for as a
capital expenditure and allocated among the Participants in accordance
with Section 7.
26.6 Materials and Supplies removed from service shall be
returned to inventory if reusable, or if junk or obsolete, shall be
disposed of by the Operating Agent under the best available terms. The
proceeds, if any, received shall be credited or distributed to the
Participants in the same proportion as their Participation Shares
therein.
80
26.7 A separate Materials and Supplies account and
undistributed stores expense account will be established by the
Operating Agent in accordance with FERC Accounts. Such charges and
credits so allocated to Materials and Supplies shall be allocated to
the Participants as a component of operation and maintenance expense in
accordance with Section 22, or as a Capital Improvement in accordance
with Section 7, as the case may be.
26.8 The inventory value of any item withdrawn from or
returned to Materials and Supplies shall be the average cost of like
items in inventory.
81
27.0 EMERGENCY SPARE PARTS:
27.1 The Operating Agent shall prepare a list of the Emergency
Spare Parts for each Unit and common facilities. Such list shall
include the estimated costs for each individual item of such Emergency

in force, policies of Operating Insurance providing coverage against
the following risks, hazards and perils:
31.1.1 Risks covered by the standard form of
commercial liability insurance, including bodily injury,
personal injury and property damage risk, hazards of
automobiles liability, contractual liability, contractor's
protective liability and liability for products and completed
operations, in an amount not less than twenty-five million
dollars ($25,000,000).

of loss, except those risks excluded in the standard form of
"all risk" property insurance. Such insurance shall provide
boiler and pressure vessel coverage, including reasonable
expediting expense.
31.1.3 Risks covered by the standard form of workers'

individually and jointly and in accordance with its Participation Share
as established in Section 6. Operating Insurance referred to in Section
31.1.1 shall carry cross-liability coverage.
94
31.3 In the event that another Participant's insurance program
affords equal or better coverage on a more favorable cost basis than
that available to the Operating Agent, the Participants may agree (by
separate agreement) that such insurance program may be utilized to
afford all or part of the insurance coverage required by Section 31.1.
31.4 The insurance company used, the insurable values, limits,
deductibles, retentions and other special terms, covenants and
conditions of the Operating Insurance shall be agreed upon by the
Coordination Committee.
31.4.1 Any deductibles shall be shared by the
Participants in accordance with the percentages established in
Section 22.1.
31.5 The Operating Agent shall furnish each of the
Participants with either a certified copy of each of the policies of
Operating Insurance or a certified copy of each of the policy forms of
Operating Insurance, together with a line sheet therefor (and any
subsequent amendments) naming the insurers and underwriters and the
extent of their participation. When the policies or policy forms of
Operating Insurance have been approved in writing by all of the
Participants, said policies or policy forms shall not be modified or
changed by any Participant without the prior written consent of all of
the Participants, except for minor and insubstantial changes or
modifications, as to which notification shall be given by the Operating
Agent to the Participants.
31.6 Each of the Operating Insurance policies shall be
endorsed so as to provide that all named insureds shall be given thirty
(30) days notice of cancellation or material change.
95
31.7 Operating Insurance policies shall be primary insurance
for all purposes and shall be so endorsed. Any insurance carried by a
Participant individually shall not participate with the Operating
Insurance as respects any loss or claim for which valid and collectible
Operating Insurance shall apply. Such other insurance shall apply
solely as respects the individual interest of the Participant carrying
such other insurance.
31.8 Nothing herein shall prohibit the Operating Agent or any
Participant from furnishing a policy of Operating Insurance which
combines the coverage required by this Agreement with coverage outside
the scope of that required by this Agreement. If the Operating Agent or
any Participant furnishes a policy of Operating Insurance which
combines the coverage required by this Agreement with coverage outside
the scope of that required by this Agreement, the Coordination
Committee shall agree on the portion of the total premium cost which is
allocable to Operating Insurance. If the Participants are unable to
agree on such allocation, the Operating Agent may make an estimated
allocation and xxxx the Participants on the basis thereof, with
adjustment to be made when the dispute is resolved.
31.9 If a Participant desires changes in any Operating
Insurance policy, such Participant shall notify the Operating Agent and
the other Participants in writing of the desired changes. Upon
agreement of the Coordination Committee to such change, the Operating
Agent shall obtain the insurance within sixty (60) days from the date
of agreement. If the Operating Agent is unable to obtain the type of
policy or coverage required herein or believed by the Operating Agent
to be adequate, then the Operating Agent shall immediately notify the
Participants.
96
31.10 In the event the Coordination Committee is unable to
agree upon any matters relating to the Operating Insurance, the
Operating Agent, pending the resolution of such disagreement, shall
procure or cause to be procured such policies of insurance, consistent
with Prudent Utility Practice, as are necessary to protect the
Participants against the insurable risks for which Operating Insurance
is required. During any period of negotiations with an insurer, or
other negotiations which are pending at the expiration of the period of
coverage of an Operating Insurance policy, or in the event an Operating
Insurance policy is canceled, the Operating Agent shall renew or bind
policies as an emergency measure, or may procure policies of insurance
which are identical to those which were canceled, or may to the extent
possible secure replacement policies which will provide substantially
the same coverage as the policy expiring or canceled.
31.11 Each Participant shall have the right to request that
any mortgagee, trustee or secured party be named on all or any of the
Operating Insurance policies as loss payees or additional assureds as
their interests may appear. Such request shall be submitted to the
Operating Agent specifying the name or names of such mortgagee, trustee
or secured party and such additional information as may be necessary or
required to permit it to be included on the policies of Operating
Insurance.
31.12 On an annual basis, the Operating Agent shall advise the
Participants on the status of insurance coverage for the San Xxxx
Project and shall make appropriate recommendations concerning insurance
issues to the Coordination Committee.
97
32.0 SURPLUS OR RETIRED PROPERTY:
The Operating Agent shall dispose of surplus property or property no
longer used or useful in the operation of the San Xxxx Project and report such
disposal to the Participants, both in accordance with practices and procedures
established by the Engineering and Operating Committee. The proceeds from such
disposition shall be credited to the Participants in accordance with their
Participation Shares.
98
33.0 REMOVAL OF OPERATING AGENT:
33.1 The Operating Agent shall serve as such during the term
of this Agreement unless it resigns as Operating Agent by giving notice
to the Participants at least one (1) year in advance of the date of
resignation or until receipt by the Operating Agent of notice of its
removal as provided in Section 33.2.
33.2 The Operating Agent may be removed as Operating Agent for
any one of the following reasons:
33.2.1 The Operating Agent may be removed by action
of the Coordination Committee if, in the judgment of the
Coordination Committee (voting as provided for in Section
18.4), the best interests of the San Xxxx Project require that
a new Operating Agent be selected. Any Participant seeking a
Coordination Committee determination to remove the Operating
Agent shall provide to the Operating Agent and to all of the
Participants a written statement, detailing the reasons why,
in the judgment of the initiating Participant, the Operating
Agent should be removed. Within thirty (30) days after receipt
by the Operating Agent of this written statement, the
Operating Agent shall prepare and serve upon all of the
Participants its response which shall contain a detailed
rebuttal of the allegations made in the initiating statement.
Within the same thirty (30) day period, any other Participant
may also prepare and serve upon the Operating Agent and the
Participants a statement responding to the allegations in the
initiating statement. Within twenty (20) days after service of
all such response statements, the Coordination Committee shall
meet to consider what action, if any, to take with regard to
the removal of the Operating Agent. If, pursuant to this
Section 33.2.1, the Coordination Committee removes the
Operating Agent, such removal shall be effective upon the date
established by the Coordination Committee. If the Operating
Agent or any Participant is dissatisfied with the action of
the Coordination Committee, it shall have the right to seek
arbitration under Section 37, but no demand for arbitration
shall stay the decision of the Coordination Committee to
remove the Operating Agent.
99
33.2.2 If, pursuant to the provisions of Section 34,
it is determined that the Operating Agent is in default of its
obligations under this Agreement, the Operating Agent may be
removed by written notice given by any Participant under
Section 34.1.2, which notice shall state the effective date of
the removal of the Operating Agent.
33.2.3 Notwithstanding the pendency of any actions to
remove the Operating Agent, the Operating Agent shall continue
in good faith to exercise its obligations as Operating Agent.
33.3 Prior to the effective date of a resignation of the
Operating Agent, or prior to the date of removal of the Operating Agent
in accordance with Section 33.2, the Coordination Committee shall by
written agreement designate a new Operating Agent, which may, but need
not, be a Participant. The Coordination Committee may designate an
interim Operating Agent pending selection of a permanent Operating
Agent. Acceptance by the new Operating Agent of its appointment as such
shall constitute its agreement to perform the obligations of the
Operating Agent under this Agreement.
100
34.0 DEFAULTS BY OPERATING AGENT:
34.1 The following provisions shall apply solely in regard to
violations or allegations of violations of this Agreement by the
Operating Agent on the basis of which removal of the Operating Agent is
sought:
34.1.1 In the event any Participant shall be of the
opinion that an action taken or failed to be taken by the
Operating Agent constitutes a violation of this Agreement, it
may give written notice thereof to the Operating Agent and the
other Participants, together with a statement of the basis for
its opinion. Thereupon, the Operating Agent may prepare a
statement of the reasons justifying its action or failure to
take action. If agreement in settling the dispute is not
reached between the Operating Agent and such Participant which
gave such notice, then the matter shall be submitted to
arbitration in the manner provided in Section 37. During the
continuance of the arbitration proceedings, the Operating
Agent may continue such action taken or failed to be taken in
the manner it deems most advisable and consistent with this
Agreement.
34.1.2 If it is determined that the Operating Agent
is violating this Agreement, then the Operating Agent shall
act with due diligence to end such violation and shall, within
thirty (30) days or within such lesser time following the
determination as may be prescribed in the determination, take
action or commence action in good faith to terminate such
violation. In the event that the complaining Participant is of
the opinion that the Operating Agent has not taken such action
to correct, or to commence action to correct, the violation
within such allowed period, the complaining Participant shall
be entitled to submit the question of the Operating Agent's
good faith action to terminate such violation to arbitration
as provided in Section 37. If it is determined that the
Operating Agent has not acted with due diligence or good faith
to terminate such violation, it shall be deemed to be in
default and shall be subject to removal, after the arbitration
determination, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
notice executed by the complaining Participant in accordance
with Section 42.
101
34.1.3 The provisions of Section 35, excepting
Sections 35.8 and 35.9, shall not apply to disputes as to
whether or not an action or non-action of the Operating Agent,
in its capacity as Operating Agent, is a violation or default
under this Agreement.
102
PART VII
DEFAULTS, LIABILITY AND ARBITRATION
35. DEFAULTS:
35.1 Each Participant shall pay all monies and carry out all
other performances, duties and obligations agreed to be paid or
performed by it pursuant to all of the terms and conditions set forth
and contained in the Project Agreements, and a default by any
Participant in the covenants and obligations to be by it kept and
performed pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth and contained
in any of the Project Agreements shall be an act of default under this
Agreement.
35.2 In the event of a default by a Participant in any of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by that
Participant, the following shall apply:
35.2.1 The Operating Agent shall give a written
notice of the default to the defaulting Participant and the
other Participants in accordance with Section 35.2.2.
35.2.2 The notice of default shall specify the
existence, nature and extent of the default. Upon receipt of
the notice of default, the defaulting Participant shall
immediately take all steps necessary to cure the default as
promptly and completely as possible.
35.3 In the event that any Participant shall dispute an
asserted default by it, then such Participant shall pay the disputed
payment or perform the disputed obligation, but may do so under
protest. The protest shall be in writing, shall accompany the disputed
payment or precede the performance of the disputed obligation(s), and
shall specify the reason upon which the protest is based. Copies of
such protest shall be mailed by such Participant to all other
Participants and to the Operating Agent. Payments not made under
protest shall be deemed correct, except to the extent that periodic or
103
annual audits may reveal over or under payment by a Participant or may
necessitate adjustments. In the event it is determined by arbitration,
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, that the
protesting Participant is entitled to a refund of all or any portion of
a disputed payment or payments, or is entitled to the reasonable
equivalent in money of non-monetary performance of a disputed
obligation theretofore made, then, upon such determination, the
non-protesting Participant(s) shall reimburse such amount to the
protesting Participant, together with interest thereon at the rate of
ten percent (10%) per annum, or the maximum legal rate of interest,
whichever is lesser, from the date of payment or of the performance of
a disputed obligation to the date of reimbursement.
35.4 In the event a default shall continue for a period of ten
(10) days or more after the notice given by the Operating Agent in
accordance with Section 35.2 without having been cured by the
defaulting Participant, or without such defaulting Participant having
commenced or continued action in good faith to cure such default, the
following shall apply:
35.4.1 If the defaulting Participant has failed to
cure such default or to commence such good faith action during
said ten (10) day period, the Operating Agent shall make a
written report to the Engineering and Operating Committee
concerning the status of the default and shall, on the next
working day after such ten (10) day period, notify the
defaulting Participant in writing that the Operating Agent
intends to declare the defaulting Participant in default under
the Project Agreements unless there is a prompt cure of the
default. Seven (7) days after the giving of such notice to the
defaulting Participant, the Operating Agent shall make a
second written report to the Engineering and Operating
Committee concerning the status of the default and the
104
efforts, if any, of the defaulting Participant to cure the
default. If, within seven (7) additional days, the defaulting
Participant has neither cured nor reasonably commenced to cure
the default, the Operating Agent shall declare the defaulting
Participant in default under the Project Agreements and shall
provide written notification of the declaration of default to
the defaulting Participant and to the Engineering and
Operating Committee. Thereafter, and for so long as the
default is not remedied and the declaration of default is not
revoked by the Operating Agent, all rights of the defaulting
Participant under the Project Agreements shall be suspended,
including the right to vote on all committees and to receive
all or any part of its proportionate share of the Net
Effective Generating Capacity.
35.4.2 Within seventeen (17) days after the notice by
the Operating Agent, as provided for in Section 35.2, the
Operating Agent shall prepare special operating procedures for
approval by the Engineering and Operating Committee that will
apply during the period of suspension under Section 35.4.1.
Upon approval by the Engineering and Operating Committee, the
Operating Agent shall provide notice to each Participant of
such special procedures. These special procedures shall
include:
35.4.2.1 A tabulation in form similar to
Section 6.2 of the percentages of costs to be borne by the
non-defaulting Participants pursuant to Section 35.5;
35.4.2.2 Billing and accounting of such
costs;
35.4.2.3 Dispatch and scheduling of the
defaulting Participant's proportionate share of Net Effective
Generating Capacity; and
105
35.4.2.4 Any other items required for the
optimal use of the San Xxxx Project and the mitigation of
damages by the non-defaulting Participants.
35.4.2.5 If the Operating Agent proposes to
broker all or a portion of the defaulting Participant's
proportionate share of Net Effective Generating Capacity on
behalf of one or more non-defaulting Participants, the form of
such an agreement shall be incorporated in such procedures.
35.4.3 Within twenty (20) days after the declaration
of a default, as provided for in Section 35.4.1, the
defaulting Participant and the non-defaulting Participants
shall convene a meeting to address the defaulting
Participant's situation and its intentions with regard to
curing its default. The defaulting Participant shall promptly
prepare a cure plan for approval by the members of the
Coordination Committee entitled to vote thereon. The cure plan
shall address the defaulting Participant's plan to cure the
default and restore itself to full participation as an owner
of the San Xxxx Project. The Coordination Committee, by vote
of the members of the Coordination Committee entitled to vote
thereon, will monitor the defaulting Participant's compliance
with the terms and conditions of the cure plan and if it
appears to the Coordination Committee that the defaulting
Participant is or will be unable to comply with the terms of
an approved cure plan, the Coordination Committee shall
consider what actions may be required to address such
inability, including, but not limited to, directing the
Operating Agent to take such actions as may be appropriate. It
is the intent of the Participants that any defaults shall be
cured on as expeditious a basis as reasonably possible.
106
35.4.4 A demand for arbitration of an asserted
default pursuant to Section 37 shall not stay the suspension
of the rights of the defaulting Participant, but in the event
that the board of arbitrators shall determine that the
asserted default did not in fact exist or occur, the
arbitrators shall specify a method of fully and fairly
compensating the Participant which, under Section 35.4.1, was
denied the right to vote on committee actions and to receive
all or any part of its proportionate share of the Net
Effective Generating Capacity.
35.5 During any period when the suspension provided for in
Section 35.4.1 is in effect, the non-defaulting Participant(s) having a
Participation Share in the affected Unit or Units: (i) shall bear a
proportionate share of all expenses, including but not limited to, the
operation and maintenance costs, insurance costs, fuel costs, capital
expenditures and other expenses otherwise payable by the defaulting
Participant under the Project Agreements, including any obligations
related to common equipment and facilities, based upon the relation of
the Participation Share of each such non-defaulting Participant(s) to
the Participation Shares of all non-defaulting Participants in the
specific Unit or Units; and (ii) shall be entitled to schedule and
receive for their accounts their proportionate share of the Net
Effective Generating Capacity of the defaulting Participant.
35.6 In connection with its cure of the default, the
defaulting Participant shall pay promptly upon demand to the
non-defaulting Participant(s) the total amount of money (and/or the
reasonable equivalent in money of non-monetary performance) paid and/or
made by such non-defaulting Participant(s) pursuant to Section 35.5 in
order to cure any default by the defaulting Participant, together with
interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, or the
maximum legal rate of interest, whichever is the lesser, from the date
of the expenditure of such money (or the making of such other
performance) by the non-defaulting Participant(s), to the date of such
reimbursement by the defaulting Participant, or such greater amount as
may be otherwise provided in the Project Agreements. Any payment
obligation of the defaulting Participant shall be reduced by mitigation
measures undertaken by the non-defaulting Participants; provided,
however, that the payment obligations of the defaulting Participant
shall not be reduced by any profits or gains achieved by the
non-defaulting Participants as the result of taking a proportionate
share of the Net Effective Generating Capacity due to the default of
the defaulting Participant.
107
35.7 The suspension of a defaulting Participant shall be
terminated and its full rights under the Project Agreements restored
when the default(s) have been cured and all compensable costs incurred
by the non-defaulting Participant(s) hereunder have been paid by the
defaulting Participant or other arrangements acceptable to the
non-defaulting Participant(s) have been made.
35.8 No waiver by a non-defaulting Participant of its rights
with respect to a default under this Agreement, or with respect to any
other matter arising in connection with this Agreement, shall be
effective unless the non-defaulting Participant(s) waive in writing
their respective rights and any such waiver shall not be deemed to be a
waiver with respect to any subsequent default or matter. No delay short
of the statutory period of limitations in asserting or enforcing any
right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such right.
35.9 The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall
be in addition to the rights and remedies of the Participants as set
forth and contained in any other Project Agreement or any rights and
remedies the Participants have in law or equity.
108
36.0 LIABILITY:
36.1 Except for any judgment debt for damage resulting from
Willful Action and except to the extent any judgment debt is
collectible from valid insurance, and subject to the provisions of
Sections 36.1.1, 36.4, 36.5, 36.6 and Section 37, each Participant
hereby extends to all other Participants, their directors, members of
their governing bodies, officers and employees, its covenant not to
execute, levy or otherwise enforce a judgment obtained against any of
them, including recording or effecting a judgment lien, for any direct,
indirect, or consequential loss, damage, claim, cost, charge or
expense, whether or not resulting from the negligence of such
Participant, its directors, members of its governing body, officers,
employees or any person or entity whose negligence would be imputed to
such Participant from (i) Operating Work, the design and construction
of Capital Improvements or the use or ownership of the San Xxxx Project
or (ii) the performance or nonperformance of the obligations of any
Participant under any of the Project Agreements, other than the
obligation to pay any monies becoming due.
36.1.1 In the event any insurer providing insurance
refuses to pay any judgment obtained by a Participant against
any other Participant, its directors, members of its governing
body, officers or employees on account of liability referred
to in Section 36.1, the Participant, its directors, members of
its governing body, officers or employees against whom the
judgment is obtained shall, at the request of the prevailing
Participant and in consideration for the covenant granted in
Section 36.1, execute such documents as may be necessary to
effect an assignment of its contractual rights against the
nonpaying insurer and thereby give the prevailing Participant
the opportunity to enforce its judgment directly against such
insurer. In no event when a judgment debt is collectible from
valid insurance shall the Participant obtaining the judgment
execute, levy or otherwise enforce the judgment (including
recording or effecting a judgment lien) against the
Participant, its directors, members of its governing body,
officers or employees against whom the judgment was obtained.
109
36.1.2 To the extent that Section 41-3-5, New Mexico
Statutes Annotated, 1978 compilation (as such section may be
amended), shall be applicable and for the purpose of relieving
each Participant, its directors, members of its governing
body, officers and employees of any liability to make
contribution to other non-Participant tortfeasors, the
foregoing covenant not to execute hereby effects a reduction
of all injured Participants' damages recoverable against all
other non-Participant tortfeasors to the extent of the pro
rata share (as referred to in Section 41-3-5, New Mexico
Statutes Annotated, 1978 compilation, as such section may be
amended) of the other Participants, their directors, members
of their governing bodies, officers and employees.
36.1.3 Each Participant agrees, upon request by any
other Participant, to make, execute and deliver any and all
documents or take such other action as may reasonably be
required to effectuate the intent of this Section 36.1.
36.2 Except as provided in Sections 36.4, 36.5 and 36.6, the
costs and expenses of discharging all work liability imposed upon one
or more of the Participants, for which payment is not made by
insurance, shall be allocated among the Participants in proportion to
their respective Participation Shares in the property giving rise to
the work liability. Work liability is defined as liability of one or
more Participants for any loss, damage, claim, cost, charge or expense
of any kind or nature (including direct, indirect or consequential)
suffered or incurred by any party other than a Participant, whether or
not resulting or to result in the future from the negligence of any
Participant, its directors, members of its governing body, officers,
employees or any other person or entity whose negligence would be
imputed to such Participant, that has resulted or may result in the
future from (i) performance or nonperformance of the work herein
described, (ii) operation, maintenance, use or ownership of the San
Xxxx Project, and (iii) past or future performance or nonperformance of
the obligations of any Participant under any of the Project Agreements.
110
36.3 If it cannot be determined which property gave rise to
work liability, the allocation for discharging costs and expenses
associated therewith shall be as specified in Section 22.1.7.
36.4 Except for liability resulting from Willful Action (which
subject to the provisions of Section 36.6 shall be the responsibility
of the willfully acting Participant), any Participant whose electric
customer shall have a claim or bring an action against any other
Participant for any death, injury, loss or damage arising out of or in
connection with electric service to such customer caused by the
operation or failure of operation of the San Xxxx Project or any
portion thereof shall indemnify and hold harmless such other
Participant, its directors, members of its governing body, officers and
employees from and against any liability for such death, injury, loss
or damage.
36.5 Each Participant shall be responsible for any damage,
loss, claim, cost, charge or expense that is not covered by insurance
and results from its own Willful Action as defined in Section 5.53.2
and shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Participants, their
directors, members of their governing bodies, officers and employees,
from any such damage, loss, claim, cost, charge or expense.
111
36.6 Except as provided in Section 36.5, the aggregate
liability of any Participant to all other Participants for Willful
Action not covered by insurance shall be determined as follows:
36.6.1 All such liability for damages, losses,
claims, costs, charges or expenses of such Participant shall
not exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000) per occurrence.
Each Participant extends to each other Participant, its
directors, members of its governing body, officers and
employees its covenant not to execute, levy or otherwise
enforce a judgment against any of them for any such aggregate
liability in excess of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) per
occurrence.
36.6.2 A claim based on Willful Action must be
perfected by filing suit in a court of competent jurisdiction
within three (3) years after the Willful Action occurs. All
claims made thereafter relating to the same Willful Action
shall be barred by this Section 36.6.2. The award to each
nonwillfully acting Participant from each Participant
determined to have committed Willful Action shall be
determined as follows: (i) Each Participant who successfully
files suit for remuneration shall receive the lesser of (a)
its final judgment awarded (or settlement made) or (b) its pro
rata Participation Share of the ten million dollar
($10,000,000) maximum recovery established in Section 36.6.1;
(ii) When all pending suits are resolved, those Participants
who were awarded judgments or reached settlements but whose
claims were not fully satisfied pursuant to Section 36.6.2(i)
shall be entitled to participate in any remaining portion of
the ten million dollar ($10,000,000) maximum recovery limit,
based upon the ratio of the unsatisfied portion of such
Participant's judgment or settlement to the total unsatisfied
portion of all such judgments and settlements. Such
participation shall be limited to the Participants'
unsatisfied judgments or settlements.
112
36.7 The provisions of this Section 36 shall not be construed
so as to relieve any insurer of its obligation to pay any insurance
proceeds in accordance with the terms and conditions of valid and
collectible insurance policies.
36.8 If a court of competent jurisdiction determines upon a
challenge by a Participant or third party that the provisions of
Section 56-7-1, New Mexico Statutes Annotated, 1978 compilation, are
applicable to this Agreement, the Participants agree that any agreement
to indemnify contained in this Agreement shall not extend to liability,
claims, damages, losses or expenses, including attorney's fees, arising
out of:
(i) the preparation or approval of maps, drawings,
opinions, reports, surveys, change orders, designs or
specifications by the indemnitee, or the agents or employees
of the indemnitee; or
(ii) the giving of or the failure to give directions
or instructions by the indemnitee, or the agents or employees
of the indemnitee, where such giving or failure to give
directions or instructions is the primary cause of bodily
injury to persons or damage to property.
The word "indemnify" as used in this Section 36.8 includes,
without limitation, an agreement to remedy damage or loss caused in
whole or in part by the negligence, act or omission of the indemnitee,
the agents or employees of the indemnitee, or any legal entity for
whose negligence, acts or omissions any of the foregoing may be liable.
113
36.9 The Participants agree that the aggregate liability limit
of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) referenced in Sections 36.6.1 and
36.6.2 may be determined in the future to be inappropriate and shall,
at the request of any Participant, make a good faith effort to evaluate
and, if appropriate, revise said limit.
114
37.0 ARBITRATION:
37.1 If a dispute between or among any of the Participants
(which term, for purposes of this Section 37, shall be deemed to
include the Operating Agent) should arise in relation to any aspect of
the San Xxxx Project, any Participant(s) may call for submission of the
dispute to arbitration, which call shall be binding upon all of the
other affected Participant(s).
37.2 The Participant(s) calling for arbitration shall give
written notice to all other Participants, setting forth in such notice
in adequate detail the entity(ies) against whom relief is sought, the
nature of the dispute, the amount or amounts, if any, involved in such
dispute, and the remedy sought by such arbitration proceedings. Within
twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, any other Participant(s)
involved may, by written response to the first Participant(s), as well
as the other Participant(s), submit its or their own statement of the
matter at issue and set forth in adequate detail additional related
matters or issues to be arbitrated. Thereafter, the Participant(s)
first submitting its or their notice of the matter at issue shall have
ten (10) days in which to submit a written rebuttal statement, copies
of which shall be provided to all other Participants.
37.3 Within ten (10) days following delivery of the last
written submittal pursuant to Section 37.2, the affected
Participant(s), acting through their respective representatives, shall
meet for the purpose of selecting arbitrators. Each affected
Participant, or group of Participants, representing one side of the
dispute, shall designate an arbitrator. The arbitrators so selected
shall meet within twenty (20) days following their selection and shall
select additional arbitrator(s), the number of which additional
arbitrators shall be one (1) less than the total number of arbitrators
selected by the affected Participants. If the arbitrators selected by
the affected Participants, as herein provided, shall fail to select
such additional arbitrator(s) within said twenty (20) day period, then
the arbitrators shall request from the American Arbitration Association
115
(or similar organization if the American Arbitration Association should
not exist at the time) a list of arbitrators who are qualified and
eligible to serve as hereinafter provided. The arbitrators selected by
the affected Participants shall take turns striking names from the list
of arbitrators furnished by the American Arbitration Association, and
the last name(s) remaining on said list shall be the additional
arbitrator(s). All arbitrators shall be persons skilled and experienced
in the field which gives rise to the dispute, and no person shall be
eligible for appointment as an arbitrator who is an officer or employee
of any of the Participants to the dispute or is otherwise interested in
the matter to be arbitrated.
37.4 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 37 or
otherwise agreed by the Participants to the dispute, the arbitration
shall be governed by the rules and practices of the American
Arbitration Association (or rules and practices of a similar
organization if the American Arbitration Association should not exist
at that time) from time to time in force, except that if such rules and
practices, as modified herein, shall conflict with New Mexico Rules of
Civil Procedure or any other provisions of New Mexico law then in force
which are specifically applicable to arbitration proceedings, such New
Mexico laws shall govern.
37.5 Included in the issues which may be submitted to
arbitration pursuant to this Section 37 is the issue of whether the
right to arbitrate a particular dispute is permitted under the Project
Agreements.
37.6 The arbitrators shall hear evidence submitted by the
respective Participants or group or groups of Participants and may call
for additional information, which additional information shall be
furnished by the party having such information. The decision of a
majority of the arbitrators shall be binding upon all the Participants
and shall be based on the provisions of the Project Agreements and New
Mexico law.
116
37.7 This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically
enforceable and the award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding
upon the Participants to the extent provided by the laws of the State
of New Mexico. Any award may be filed with the clerk of any court
having jurisdiction over the Participants or any of them against whom
the award is rendered, and, upon such filing, such award, to the extent
permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which said award is filed,
shall be specifically enforceable or shall form the basis of a
declaratory judgment or other similar relief.
37.8 Each Participant or group of Participants shall be
responsible for the fees and expenses of the arbitrator selected by
that Participant or group of Participants, unless the decision of the
arbitrators shall specify some other apportionment of such fees and
expenses. The fees and expenses of the neutral arbitrators shall be
shared among the affected Participants equally, unless the decision of
the arbitrators shall specify some other apportionment of such fees and
expenses. All other expenses and costs of the arbitration, including
attorney fees, shall be borne by the Participant incurring the same.
37.9 In the event that any Participant(s) shall attempt to
institute or to carry out the provisions herein set forth in regard to
arbitration, and such Participant(s) shall not be able to obtain a
valid and enforceable arbitration decree, such Participant(s) shall be
entitled to seek legal remedies in a court having jurisdiction in the
premises, and the provisions in this Section 37 referring to
arbitration decisions shall then be deemed applicable to final
decisions of such court.
117
PART VIII
RETIREMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION
38.0 DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION OF A UNIT:
38.1 If all, or substantially all, of a Unit is destroyed,
damaged or condemned, then the Participants with Participation Shares
in that Unit by unanimous agreement may elect to repair or reconstruct
the damaged, destroyed or condemned Unit in such a manner as to restore
the Unit to substantially the same general character or use as the
original, or to such other character or use as the Participants may
then mutually agree. In the event of such election, it shall be the
obligation of the Participants to pay for the costs of such repair or
reconstruction in accordance with the Participation Shares of the
respective Participants in such Unit, and, upon completion thereof, the
Participants' rights, titles and interests therein shall be as provided
in this Agreement.
38.2 Failure to reach unanimous agreement as provided in
Section 38.1 shall be deemed to be an election not to repair or
reconstruct the damaged, destroyed or condemned Unit, in which event
the proceeds from any insurance or from any award shall be distributed
to the Participants in accordance with their respective Participation
Shares in such Unit. The facilities not destroyed, damaged or condemned
shall be disposed of by the Participants in a manner to be mutually
agreed upon, and the proceeds from such disposition shall be
distributed in accordance with the Participation Shares of the
respective Participants in such Unit. Nothing in this section shall be
deemed to preclude any Participant or group of Participants in the Unit
from agreeing to repair, reconstruct or replace the damaged, destroyed
or condemned Unit.
118
38.3 In the event that less than substantially all of a Unit
is destroyed, damaged or condemned, then it shall be the obligation of
the Participants having a Participation Share in such Unit to repair or
reconstruct such Unit. Each Participant shall be obligated to pay its
proportionate share of the costs of such repair or reconstruction in
accordance with Section 6.2.
38.4 In the event that any common equipment and/or facility is
destroyed, damaged or condemned, then it shall be the obligation of the
Participants having a Participation Share in such common equipment
and/or facilities to repair or reconstruct such damaged, destroyed or
condemned equipment and/or facilities. Each Participant shall be
obligated to pay its proportionate share of the costs of such repair or
reconstruction in accordance with Section 6.2.
119
39.0 RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS UPON TERMINATION:
39.1 In the event the Participants by unanimous agreement
abandon, retire or otherwise terminate or suspend operation of the San
Xxxx Project prior to the termination of this Agreement, the facilities
forming the San Xxxx Project shall be disposed of by the Participants
in a manner to be unanimously agreed upon and the proceeds from such
disposition shall be distributed to the Participants in accordance with
their respective Participation Shares.
120
40.0 DECOMMISSIONING OF THE PROJECT:
40.1 The Participants acknowledge the appropriateness of
incorporating in a future amendment to this Agreement, or in another
appropriate contractual instrument, provisions which address the
decommissioning of the San Xxxx Project and/or of one or more Units. It
is recognized, however, that the resolution of issues associated with
San Xxxx Project decommissioning will require protracted study. The
Participants therefore agree to establish a task force or other forum
for the careful and deliberate consideration of decommissioning issues
so that these issues may be addressed and resolved in a timely manner.
The Operating Agent shall propose to the Participants a methodology and
a schedule for addressing decommissioning issues.
121
PART IX
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
41.0 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTICIPANTS:
41.1 The covenants, obligations and liabilities of the
Participants are intended to be several and not joint or collective,
and nothing herein contained shall ever be construed to create an
association, joint venture, trust or partnership, or to impose a trust
or partnership covenant, obligation or liability on or with regard to
any one or more of the Participants. Each Participant shall be
individually responsible for its own covenants, obligations and
liabilities as herein provided. No Participant or group of Participants
shall be under the control of or shall be deemed to control any other
Participant or the Participants as a group. No Participant shall be the
agent of or have a right or power to bind any other Participant without
its express written consent, except as expressly provided herein.
41.2 The Participants hereby elect to be excluded from the
application of Subchapter "K" of Chapter 1 of Subtitle "A" of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or such portion or portions thereof as
may be permitted or authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury or its
delegate insofar as such subchapter, or any portion or portions
thereof, may be applicable to the Participants hereunder.
122

pursuant to this Agreement.
42.3 The Operating Agent shall provide to each Participant a

in connection with the San Xxxx Project.
124
43.0 OTHER PROVISIONS:
43.1 Each Participant agrees, upon request by another
Participant, to make, execute and deliver any and all documents
reasonably required to implement the terms of this Agreement.
43.2 No Participant shall be considered to be in default in
the performance of any of the obligations hereunder (other than
obligations of a Participant to pay costs and expenses) if failure of
performance shall be due to uncontrollable forces. The term
"uncontrollable forces" shall mean any cause beyond the control of the
Participant affected, including but not limited to failure of
facilities, flood, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, epidemic, war,
riot, civil disturbance, labor dispute, sabotage, restraint by court
order or public authority, or failure to obtain approval from a
necessary governmental authority which by exercise of due diligence and
foresight such Participant could not reasonably have been expected to
avoid and which by exercise of due diligence it shall be unable to
overcome. Nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to require
a Participant to settle any strike or labor dispute in which it may be
involved. Any Participant rendered unable to fulfill any obligation by
reason of uncontrollable forces shall exercise due diligence to remove
such inability with all reasonable dispatch.
43.3 The captions and headings appearing in this Agreement are
inserted merely to facilitate reference and shall have no bearing upon
the interpretation of the provisions hereof.
43.4 This Agreement is made under and shall be governed by the
laws of the State of New Mexico.
125
43.5 The covenants and obligations set forth and contained in
this Agreement are to be deemed to be independent covenants, not
dependent covenants, and the obligation of a Participant to perform all
of the obligations and covenants to be by it kept and performed is not
conditioned on the performance by another Participant of all of the
covenants and obligations to be kept and performed by it.
43.6 In the event that any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement, or the application of any such term or condition to any
person or circumstance, shall be held invalid by any court having
jurisdiction in the premises, the remainder of this Agreement, and the
application of such terms or conditions to persons or circumstances
other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected
thereby.
43.7 All costs or expenses, including all taxes that the
Operating Agent is required to pay (but not specifically referred to in
other sections of this Agreement), which are incurred by the Operating
Agent in connection with the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement and which are not specifically allocated to the Participants
in accordance with this Agreement shall be equitably allocated among
the Participants in a manner to be established by the Coordination
Committee.
43.8 Should a change in circumstances, economic factors, or
basic technology occur which results or may result in a substantial
increase or decrease in the benefits to or expenses incurred by a
Participant, including the Operating Agent, which such change was not
within the reasonable contemplation of the Participants at the time of
the execution of this Agreement, the Participants, including the
Operating Agent, shall negotiate in good faith in order that an
appropriate and equitable adjustment shall be made in the reimbursement
of the Operating Agent and in the allocation of expenses among the
Participants. Such adjustment shall be fair and equitable as to both
the Operating Agent and the other Participants.
126
43.9 This Agreement shall be subject to filing with, and to
such changes or modifications as may from time to time be directed by,
competent regulatory authority, if any, in the exercise of its
jurisdiction.
43.10 It is the intent of the Participants in executing this
Agreement to set out in one instrument the entire agreement of the
Participants with respect to the subject matter hereof, and on the
effective date hereof to explicitly amend and restate, and to replace
in their entirely, the Co-Tenancy Agreement and the Operating Agreement
and all modifications thereto. Accordingly, on the effective date
hereof, the Co-Tenancy Agreement and the Operating Agreement are no
longer in force and effect except as incorporated herein; provided,
however, that the interim coal billing arrangements reflected in side
agreements shall continue in effect through their stated term.
43.11 The execution of this Agreement shall not affect any
rights or obligations of the Participants which shall have accrued
prior to the effective date of this Agreement, including any obligation
to pay money or take other actions in accordance with the Co-Tenancy
Agreement and the Operating Agreement or any other agreement.
127
44.0 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS:
44.1 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and
each executed counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original
instrument as if all the Participants to the aggregated counterparts had signed
the same instrument. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from
any counterpart thereof without impairing the legal effect of any signatures
thereon and may be attached to any other counterpart of this Agreement identical
in form thereto but having attached to it one or more additional pages.
128
45.0 AMENDMENTS:
45.1 Except as provided in Section 45.2, this Agreement may be amended
only by written instrument executed by all of the Participants with the same
formality as this Agreement.
45.2 The Coordination Committee, by unanimous vote, may amend any one
or more of the exhibits attached to this Agreement. In the event of any such
action by the Coordination Committee, a copy of the new exhibit shall be
attached to this Agreement to replace the old or superseded exhibit, without the
necessity of formally amending this Agreement. Any such action shall not affect
other provisions of this Agreement, including other exhibits thereto.
129
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Participants, by their duly authorized
representatives, have caused this Agreement to be made as of this 27th day of
October, 1999.

A&G RATIO APPLICABLE TO OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FOR THE SAN XXXX
------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERATING STATION ("SJGS")
---------------------------
The Operating Agent determines, in accordance with Accounting Practice,
the appropriate A&G expense incurred for the benefit of the SJGS and to
be billed to the SJGS as follows:
1. A&G expenses directly chargeable by on-site San Xxxx Project
employees as set forth in Section 22.2.2;
2. A&G expenses directly chargeable by A&G related departments located
off-site as set forth in Section 22.2.2; and
3. Indirect A&G expenses included in the development of the A&G ratio.
Except as set forth in Section 22.0, individuals located off-site must
either charge their time and expenses direct to the SJGS or be included
in the A&G pool in the development of the A&G Ratio. Costs incurred for
the same purpose must be either all charged direct to the SJGS or all
be included in the A&G pool, e.g., all staff persons within the same
department must either charge direct to the SJGS or to the A&G pool.
A. The Operating Agent conducts an A&G study every three years. However,
periodic reviews will be performed to determine if significant
organizational changes have occurred that may require the Operating
Agent to conduct an A&G study on a basis more frequently than three
years. This study determines the appropriate amount of indirect A&G
expense to utilize in the development of the A&G Ratio described below.
The FERC A&G accounts included in the A&G study are: 920, 921, 923,
930.2, 931 and 935.
Background
----------
The responsibility for the SJGS resides in the Operating Agent's Bulk
Power Business Unit. The A&G expenses charged to this Business Unit are
derived from two areas. The first component is an allocation of A&G
expenses from the Operating Agent's Corporate Office to the Bulk Power
Business Unit. These allocations are based on pre-determined
methodologies. The second component of costs are A&G expenses that are
directly charged to the Bulk Power Business Unit. Note: Any A&G
expenses charged directly to the SJGS are excluded from the
determination of the A&G Ratio and are not subject to the A&G Ratio.
Exh. VI - 1
A questionnaire is sent to all managers that have A&G charges to the
Bulk Power Business Unit to determine what percentage of their A&G
expenses should be included in the development of the A&G Ratio.
The percentages derived from the questionnaires are then applied to the
actual A&G amounts charged to the Bulk Power Business Unit for the
study year. Amounts are split between labor and other.
B. Labor Ratios for Payroll Taxes (FERC Account 408), Injuries and Damages
(FERC Account 925) and Pension and Benefits (FERC Account 926) (See
Exhibit VI Attachments B, C and D) are applied to the labor portion of
the A&G determined above.
C. Other costs included in the development of the A&G Ratio are
Depreciation of General Plant (FERC Account 403), Property Insurance
(FERC Account 924) and Property Taxes (FERC Account 408) for the
Operating Agent's headquarters buildings and energy management facility
and Amortization of Computer Software (FERC Account 404) for certain
software applications that provide benefit to the SJGS.
The portion of the costs related to the Operating Agent's headquarters
buildings included in the development of the A&G Ratio are derived by
applying certain ratios obtained from the A&G study questionnaires. The
costs included in the A&G Ratio for the Operating Agent's energy
management facility are based on the number of MW of SJGS capacity as a
percentage of the Operating Agent's total generating capacity. In
addition, ratios for determining the amount of software costs to
include in the A&G Ratio are based on the specific software
application. For example, if the Operating Agent installed a new
payroll system, the amount of costs for this system that would be
included in the A&G Ratio calculation would be based on the number of
employees at the SJGS as a percent of the Operating Agent's total
employees. The Operating Agent reviews each specific software
application to determine the method for assigning the appropriate
amount of costs to be included in the A&G Ratio calculation.
The A&G ratio shall be applied to the following SJGS costs:
1) Labor charged to the operation and maintenance expenses included in
Sections 22.2.1, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5 and 23.3.3 of the San Xxxx Project
Participation Agreement. Such labor dollars are utilized as the
denominator in the calculation of the A&G Ratio described below.
The A&G Ratio shall be derived annually based on the preceding year's
experience, as set forth herein unless otherwise agreed to by the participants.
The A&G Ratio will be adjusted to actuals at year-end and the adjustment will be
used in the computation of the A&G Ratio for the following year.
A&G Ratio = A/B
Exh. VI - 2
Where A = Administrative and general expense chargeable to FERC Accounts
920, 921, 923, 930.2, 931 and 935, including Labor Ratios for
Payroll Taxes (FERC Account 408), Injuries and Damages (FERC
Account 925) and Pension and Benefits (FERC Account 926) plus
other related costs for the Operating Agent's headquarters
buildings and energy management facility for Property Taxes FERC
Account (408), Depreciation of General Plant FERC Account (403),
and Property Insurance FERC Account (924) plus amortization of
certain Computer Software costs charged to FERC Account (404).
B = Total SJGS operation and maintenance labor paid and accrued
excluding labor expenses chargeable to FERC accounts 920 through
935 inclusive.
Note: Any modifications to the methodology utilized for calculating the A&G
Ratio described above shall be developed by the San Xxxx Auditing
Committee and approved by the San Xxxx Coordination Committee.

2) Labor charged to other primary accounts including, but not limited
to, FERC Accounts 107, 108, 163, 183, 186 and 188.
The Payroll Tax Ratio shall be determined annually on the basis of the Operating
Agent's preceding years experience adjusted for known changes to comply with
regulations applicable to Social Security and Unemployment Compensation as set
forth herein unless otherwise agreed to by the participants. The Payroll Tax
Ratio will be adjusted to actuals at year-end and the adjustment will be used in
the computation of the ratio for the following year.
Payroll Tax Ratio = T/P
Where T = The Operating Agent's total payroll tax expense chargeable to FERC
Account 408.
P = The Operating Agent's total base labor paid and accrued, less
wages paid for time-off allowances plus accruals for time-off
allowances.
Notes: (1 Base labor is defined as an employee's hourly rate times the
number of hours worked plus an accrual for time-off allowances.
In addition, base labor also includes overtime pay and special
pay.
(2) Time-off allowances are defined as vacation, illness and holiday
time.
(3) Special pay is defined as any other compensation an employee
receives that is not part of his/her regular base pay. Examples

Exhibit VI-Attachment D
-----------------------
PENSION AND BENEFITS RATIO FOR THE
----------------------------------
SAN XXXX GENERATING STATION ("SJGS")
------------------------------------
The Pension and Benefits Ratio shall be applied to the following SJGS costs:
1) Labor charged to operation and maintenance expenses included in
Sections 22.2.1, 22.2.2, 22.2.4, 22.2.5 22.3, 22.4, 22.5 and 23.3.3
of the San Xxxx Project Participation Agreement.
2) Labor charged to other primary accounts including, but not limited
to, FERC Accounts 107, 108, 163, 183, 186 and 188.
The Pension and Benefits Ratio shall be determined annually on the basis of the
Operating Agent's preceding year's experience as set forth herein unless
otherwise agreed to by the participants. The Pension and Benefits Ratio will be
adjusted to actuals at year-end and the adjustment will be used in the
computation of the ratio for the following year.
Pension and Benefits Ratio = B/P
Where B = The Operating Agent's total pension and benefits expense
chargeable to FERC Account 926, including payroll taxes, and
injuries and damages on labor chargeable to FERC Account 926.
The amount of payroll taxes and injuries and damages to be added
are based on the ratios included in Exhibit VI, Attachments B
and C, respectively.
P = The Operating Agent's total base labor paid and accrued, less
wages paid for time-off allowances plus accruals for time-off
allowances, less overtime, part-time, special pay not eligible
for pension and benefits and wages charged direct to FERC
Account 926.
Notes: (1) Special pay is defined as any other compensation an employee
receives that is not part of his/her regular base pay. Examples
include employee recognition awards as well as results based
pay, the Operating Agent's bonus pay plan. Employee recognition
awards are not eligible for pension and benefit loadings.
(2) Any modifications to the methodology utilized for calculating
the Pension and Benefits Ratio described above shall be
developed by the San Xxxx Auditing Committee and approved by the
San Xxxx Coordination Committee.

Exhibit VI-Attachment E
-----------------------
CAPITALIZED A&G RATIO APPLICABLE TO CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE SAN
----------------------------------------------------------------
XXXX GENERATING STATION ("SJGS")
--------------------------------
The Operating Agent determines the appropriate A&G expense incurred for
the benefit of the SJGS and to be billed to the SJGS as follows:
A. The Operating Agent conducts an A&G study every three years. However,
periodic reviews will be performed to determine if significant
organizational changes have occurred that may require the Operating
Agent to conduct an A&G study on a basis more frequently than three
years. This study determines the appropriate amount of indirect A&G
expense to utilize in the development of the Capitalized A&G Ratio
described below.
The FERC A&G accounts included in the A&G study are: 920, 921, 923,
930.2, 931 and 935.
Background
----------
The responsibility for the SJGS resides in the Operating Agent's Bulk
Power Business Unit. The A&G expenses charged to this Business Unit are
derived from two areas. The first component is an allocation of A&G
expenses from the Operating Agent's Corporate Office to the Bulk Power
Business Unit. These allocations are based on pre-determined
methodologies. The second component of costs are A&G expenses that are
directly charged to the Bulk Power Business Unit. Note: Any A&G
expenses charged directly to the SJGS are excluded from the
determination of the Capitalized A&G Ratio. Two Capitalized A&G Ratios
are calculated, one for major construction projects (Projects greater
than $10,000,000) and one for minor construction projects (Projects
less than $10,000,000).
A questionnaire is sent to all managers that have A&G charges to the
Bulk Power Business Unit to determine what percentage of their A&G
expenses are capital-related and should be included in the development
of the Capitalized A&G Ratios. Amounts are split between labor and
other.
B. Labor Ratios for Payroll Taxes (FERC Account 408), Injuries and Damages
(FERC Account 925) and Pension and Benefits (FERC Account 926) (see
Exhibit VI Attachments B, C and D) are applied to the labor portion of
the A&G determined above.
The Capitalized A&G Ratios, shall be applied to all SJGS construction costs
except for long-term leased transportation and motorized equipment. The total
amount of these construction dollars are utilized as the denominator in the
calculation of the A&G Ratio described below.
Exh. VI - 7
Capitalized A&G Ratio = A/B
Where A = Administrative and general expense chargeable to FERC
Accounts 920, 921, 923, 930.2, 931 and 935, including Labor
Ratios for Payroll Taxes (FERC Account 408), Injuries and Damages
(FERC Account 925) and Pension and Benefits (FERC Account 926) as
categorized separately in the A&G questionnaire for major and
minor construction expenditures for the study period.
B = Total SJGS capital project amounts for the Bulk Power Business
Unit as categorized between major and minor construction projects
for the study period chargeable to FERC Accounts 107 and 108.
Note: Any modifications to the methodology utilized for calculating the A&G
Ratio described above shall be developed by the San Xxxx Auditing
Committee and approved by the San Xxxx Coordination Committee.

Proportional Adjustment of Voting Requirements
----------------------------------------------
in Case of a Default and Suspension of the Rights of a Participant
------------------------------------------------------------------
to Vote Pursuant to Section 35.4.1.
-----------------------------------
Example Calculation Based on Hypothetical Ownership Percentages:
In the following table, Participant D with Participation Shares in Units 3 and 4
is assumed to be the defaulting Participant. Participation Shares for Voting and
Number of Participants for Voting are shown under original or pre-default
conditions and are then adjusted as provided in Sections 18.4, 19.4, 20.5, and
21.4 after the right of Participant D to vote is suspended pursuant to Section
35.4.1.
Participation Shares for voting pursuant to Sections 18.4.1(a), 18.4.2(a), and
18.4.3(a) are adjusted as follows:
For Units:
The Adjusted Participation Share for a Participant =
(That Participant's Participation Share)/(The sum of
the Participation Shares of all non-defaulting
Participants in the affected Unit)
For Common Facilities:
Adjustments related to common facilities shall be proportional
to any differing Participation Shares between Units.
The above formula would be applied to each Unit and
then summed and normalized over the applicable common
facilities. Because San Xxxx Units are of unequal
ratings, the normalization will be in proportion to
each Unit's rating rather than the even fractions in
the example below where equally sized units were used
for simplicity.
The numbers of Participants used for voting purposes pursuant to the
requirements of Sections 18.4.1(b), 18.4.2(b), and 18.4.3(b) are adjusted by
subtracting the number of defaulting Participants from the total number of
Participants voting under those Sections.

Rating)/(Plant Rating) * (Unit 1 Contribution) + (Unit 2 Rating)/(Plant
Rating) * (Unit 2 Contribution) + (Unit 3 Rating)/(Plant Rating) * (Unit 3
Contribution) + (Unit 4 Rating)/(Plant Rating) * (Unit 4 Contribution) = 1/4
(50.000%) + 1/4 (50.000%) + 1/4 (28.571%) + 1/4 (12.500%) = 35.268%
