6.3 IID reserves the right to interrupt or curtail the transmission
service provided hereunder as follows:
6.3.1 If the Operating Transmission Capability is reduced to less than
normal Transmission Capacity from a Point of Receipt to a Point of Delivery, and
when continuity of service within IID's Control Area is not being jeopardized,
IID may curtail the transmission service currently being provided from such
Point of Receipt to such Point of Delivery, to an amount "A" determined by the
following formula:
A = Operating Transmission Capability x Transmission Service
--------------------------------- Entitlement
Normal Transmission Capacity
7
The transmission service for each Plant shall be curtailed by multiplying the
Transmission Service Entitlement in accordance with Exhibits II, III, IV, V, VI,
VII, VIII and in any subsequent Plant Amendments by the same percentage
(expressed as a decimal) as used in the determination of "A". However, any such
curtailment shall occur only after IID has made all reasonable efforts to
eliminate the cause of the reduction in Operating Transmission Capability, and
IID shall then employ reasonable efforts to eliminate expeditiously the cause of
said reduction.
6.3.2 If continuity of service within IID's Control Area is being
jeopardized, as determined by IID in its sole judgment, IID may interrupt or
curtail the transmission service provided hereunder to the extent necessary to
avoid or eliminate such jeopardy; provided, (i) that such interruptions or
curtailments may be made so that IID may fully utilize all generating resources
owned by it or available to it under contract in order to avoid damage to IID's
electrical system caused by overloading, (ii) that no such interruption or
curtailment may be made by IID in order that IID may acquire all or any portion
of Edison's capacity or energy available to Edison under contract without
Edison's prior consent, and (iii) that such interruption or curtailment shall
occur only after IID has made all reasonable efforts to avoid or eliminate such
jeopardy.
6.4 If IID's efforts do not avoid or eliminate such jeopardy, the
Parties shall endeavor to develop some other arrangements to avoid or eliminate
such jeopardy and minimize the effects of IID's interruption or curtailment to
both to Parties' Control Areas.
8
6.5 Subject to Section 6.8, and in the event of any curtailments or
interruptions made pursuant to Section 6.3.1 or Section 6.3.2, Edison shall,
immediately after being orally satisfied by IID, reduce its energy schedules by
the amounts requested by IID.
6.6 The transmission service to be provided by IID and purchased by
Edison for each Plant shall not exceed the Transmission Service Entitlement.
6.7 Subject to Section 6.3, IID shall, during the periods that IID has
agreed to provide the transmission service at the specified Transmission Service
Entitlements, accept hourly scheduled energy deliveries at the Point of Receipt
and simultaneously deliver the same amount of energy to Edison or for Edison's
account at the Point(s) of Delivery mutually agreed upon by the Parties'
dispatchers and/or schedulers. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Authorized
Representatives, the total sum of Transmission Service Entitlements to the
Points of Delivery specified below shall not exceed 150 MV. However, in no case
shall the Transmission Service Entitlement to a specified Point of Delivery
exceed the following:
Blythe Substation 161 kV: 110 MV
Mirage Substation 115/92 kV: 35 MW
Mirage Substation 230 kV: 150 MW'
Edison shall provide IID an executed copy of its transmission service
agreement with Western.

6.8 Hourly scheduled energy deliveries shall be in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. The hourly schedules shall conform with the
practices and procedures developed by the Parties' dispatchers and schedulers
and agreed to by the Authorized Representatives. IID shall coordinate the hourly
scheduled energy deliveries from the Plant(s) until such time that dynamic
scheduling may be arranged and procedures for such may be agreed to by the
Authorized Representatives.
7. TRANSMISSION LOSSES:
-------------------
7.1 IID shall determine, by transmission power flow analysis, the
electrical losses (expressed as a percent amount of hourly scheduled energy
deliveries) associated with the electrical output from each Plant. Such analysis
may be performed by IID, at its sole expense, and as deemed necessary by
changing conditions on IID's electrical system. The initial percent amount, for
each Plant, representing the electrical losses as determined herein shall be as
specified in Exhibits II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and in any subsequent Plant
Amendment(s).
7.2 Unless otherwise agreed to by Edison's and IID's schedulers and
dispatchers, IID shall reduce the amount of all hourly scheduled energy
deliveries to Edison or for Edison's account by the percent amount of such
hourly deliveries for each Plant in accordance with Exhibits II, III, IV, V, VI,
VII, VIII and in any subsequent Plant Amendment(s) plus a transformer loss
percent amount if delivered at the Mirage Substation 115/92 kV switchrack.
10
7.3 It either Party believes that there has been a significant change
in IID's electrical system and the electrical losses associated with any Plant
should be redetermined, either Party's Authorized Representative may submit a
written request ________ the other Party's Authorized Representative that the
electrical losses be redetermined. Following such request, a transmission flow
analysis may be performed by IID as approved by the Authorized Representatives
and paid for by the requesting Party. If the percent amount for electrical
losses is redetermined, such percent amount shall become effective as of the
first day of the month following the date of such redetermination; provided,
that such a redetermination may be no sooner than twelve (12) months after the
most recent redetermination. Any redetermination of electrical losses made
pursuant to this Section 7 shall be based on conditions in existence at the time
of such redetermination.
7.4 Along with the monthly billing pursuant to Section 9.1, for the
transmission service for each Plant, IID shall submit a monthly summary of
hourly scheduled energy deliveries and of electrical losses for each Plant.
8. CHARGES:
8.1 For transmission service provided by IID, Edison shall pay IID at
an initial rate of $1.14 per kilowatt per month for transmission service over
IID's 92 kV-161 kV- 230 kV transmission system plus the appropriate initial rate
specified in Exhibit I.B for transmission service over IID's 34.5 kV
subtransmission system as applicable. The total
11
charge for transmission service shall be determined by the sum of the products
of such applicable rates times the Transmission Service Entitlements. The
initial rate for the 92 kV-161 kV-230 kV transmission system and the initial
rate for the 34.5 kV subtransmission system has been determined by IID pursuant
to the methodologies specified in Exhibit I.A and Exhibit I.B respectively. Any
specific facility charge to the Third Parties or to Edison for connecting the
Plant(s) to the IID transmission system(s) shall be included only in the Plant
Connection Agreement(s) between IID and the Third Parties or Edison.
8.2 Both the 92 kV-161 kV-230 kV transmission and 34.5 kV
subtransmission system rates shall be reviewed annually and may be revised. Such
review and revision, if necessary, shall commence effective January 1, 1986. Any
revision of the rates shall be based on the methodologies in Exhibit I.A-2 and
Exhibit I.B.A and on the conditions in existence at the time of the revision.
Edison shall have the right to review any exhibits or work papers prepared by
IID to revise the rates prior to the effective date(s) of the revision.
8.3 An initial monthly scheduling fee, as specified in Exhibits II,
III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and in any subsequent Plant Amendment(s), shall be
paid by Edison to IID for those months in which there were scheduled energy
deliveries from the Plant(s). The initial scheduling fee has been determined by
IID pursuant to the methodology specified in Exhibit I.C. The scheduling fee
shall be reviewed annually and may be revised. Such
12
review and revision, if necessary, shall commence effective January 1, 1986. Any
revision of the scheduling fee shall be based on the methodology in Exhibit I.C
and on the conditions in existence at the time of the revision. Edison shall
have the right to review any exhibits or work papers prepared by IID to revise
the scheduling fee prior to the effective date of the revision.
9. BILLING AND PAYMENT:
-------------------
9.1 IID shall render bills to Edison, beginning in the month of the
Date of Initial Service, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month for
the transmission service to be provided during the month. Edison shall pay such
bills within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof.
All payments by Edison shall be sent to:
Imperial Irrigation District

9.2 Either Party's Authorized Representative may at any time, by
advance written notice to the other Party's Authorized Representative, change
the address to which payments or xxxxxxxx shall be sent.
9.3 Bills which are not paid in full by said due date shall thereafter
bear an additional charge of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month, or the
maximum legal rate of interest, whichever is less, compounded monthly on the
unpaid amount prorated by days from the due date until payment is received by
IID.
9.4. In the event any portion of any bill is disputed, the disputed
amount shall be paid when due under protest. If the protested portion of the
payment is found to be incorrect by the Authorized Representatives, the disputed
amount shall be paid by IID to Edison, including interest at the rate of 1-1/2%
per month, or the maximum legal rate, whichever is less, compounded monthly from
the date of payment by Edison to the date the refund check or adjusted bill is
received by Edison.
9.5 For a fractional part of a calendar month at the beginning or end
of the period for which the transmission service is provided hereunder, the
charge pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be proportionately adjusted by the ratio of
days that service is furnished by IID to Edison during such month to the total
number of days in such month.
9.6 The charge for the transmission service pursuant to Section 8.1
shall be proportionately reduced to the extent the duration of interruptions or
curtailments of the
14
transmission service which may occur pursuant to Section 6.3.2 exceed a
cumulative total of twenty-four (24) hours during any calendar month based on
730 hours per month representing the full transmission service charge. The
amount of such prorata reduction in any month shall reflect the duration and
amount of such interruptions or curtailments which exceed said cumulative 24
hours. Such prorata reduction shall be reflected as a credit to Edison as soon
as possible in a subsequent monthly bill.
9.7 The charge for the transmission service shall not be reduced if IID
can deliver, but Edison cannot receive the hourly scheduled energy deliveries
independent of the duration of time this condition exists.
10. LIABILITY:
10.1 Except for any loss, damage, claim, cost, charge or expense
resulting from Willful Action, neither Party, its directors or other governing
