14
5.1. Authority For Operation And Management.
Subject to any directions from the Coordination Committee, Louisville shall have sole authority to manage, control, maintain, and operate (including dispatch) Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 for the benefit of each Party’s respective interest and Louisville shall take all steps which it deems necessary or appropriate for that purpose. Louisville shall discharge such authority in accordance with Good Utility Practice and the other provisions of this Agreement.
5.2. Scheduling And Dispatching Of Electric Generation
When Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 is~ Available, IMPA shall have the right to schedule, subject to the scheduling provisions herein, all, or any part that is five (5) megawatts or greater, of its Electric Capability and Energy Entitlement in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 (or as such Electric Capability and Energy Entitlement may be modified herein); provided, that during periods when Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 is being operated at minimum generation, IMPA, unless otherwise agreed to by Louisville, shall not schedule less than what its Electric Capability and Energy Entitlement in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 would have been had the Net Electric Generating Capability and Associated Electric Energy of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 been restricted to such minimum generation. Louisville shall promptly notify IMPA of any significant change in the Net Electric Generating Capability of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1. As used in this paragraph, the term “minimum generation’ means the Net Electric Generating Capability level below which Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 cannot operate in a stable manner and must be shut down.
Louisville and IMPA shall each be entitled to dispose of their respective Electric Capability and Energy Entitlement through scheduled transactions with other electric utilities in a manner consistent with Good Utility Practice.
IMPA shall schedule Electric Energy to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement prior to 12:00 noon E.S.T. of the day prior to delivery; provided that, for Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and holidays recognized by Louisville, IMPA shall schedule the Electric Energy prior to 12:00 noon E.S.T. on the last normal work day prior to the weekend or holiday. : Schedules shall be subject to change after 12:00 noon E.S.T. of the applicable day on which the schedule is submitted only upon the mutual consent of the Parties, but Louisville shall make every reasonable effort to accommodate changes in the schedules. All schedules shall be in increments of whole megawatts; provided, that where IMPA’s full entitlement is requested and available, IMPA shall be entitled to its full Electric Capability and Energy Entitlement. Prior to each calendar year, Louisville shall notify IMPA of the holidays to be recognized by Louisville for that year. In the event Louisville fails to provide such notice, the said holidays shall be the same as for the prior year.
15
Louisville will provide to IMPA, by 9:00 A.M. each day, the Net Electric Generating Capability expected for the next day; provided that, for Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and holidays recognized by Louisville, Louisville will provide this information on the last normal work day prior to the weekend or holiday. At all times, Louisville will immediately inform IMPS of any increase or decrease in unit Net Electric Generating Capability that will or may occur, or any suspected conditions that could cause such change.
At any time IMPA is not requesting, for any reason, including a claim by 1MPA of Force Majeure, the maximum amount of Net Electric Generating Capability available to it from Xxxxxxx County Unit 1, Louisville shall have the right to utilize, for its own use, ail or any part of the Electric Energy associated with such unused Net Electric Generating Capability. When so utilized, the energy consumed by Louisville shall be referred to as “Banked Energy.’ At a future date, IMPA shall be entitled to request, in accordance with the scheduling provisions of Article 5.2, Electric Energy associated with the Net Electric Generating Capability from Louisville’s portion of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 in an amount equal to all or any portion of the then-current balance of Banked Energy due to IMPA. Louisville shall be obligated to supply the requested amount of IMPA’s Banked Energy unless, pursuant to guidelines established by the Coordination Committee, conditions are unsuitable to do so. Pursuant to procedures and guidelines established by the Coordination Committee, the balance of Banked Energy owed to IMPA shall be periodically returned to zero. When Banked Energy is used by Louisville or returned to IMPA, the Fuel/Reactant Operation Expenses for the Electric Energy associated therewith shall be assumed by the Party using such Electric Energy. Louisville shall maintain records adequate to determine the transactions related to, and balances of, Banked Energy.
Louisville shall submit to IMPA, as far in advance as practicable, schedules showing the expected time and duration for maintenance and repair outages of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1. Louisville will adjust such schedules to accommodate IMPA’s operating needs, where, in Louisville’s sole judgment, it is practicable to do so, consistent with Good Utility Practice. Should IMPA desire a schedule for maintenance and repair outages which Louisville believes is impracticable, IMPA shall be entitled to raise the scheduling issue with the Coordination Committee.
5.3. Economic Replacement Of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 Energy.
In the event, and only in the event, Louisville voluntarily ceases to operate Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 or reduces the output therefrom solely because of the availability of Electric Energy to Louisville from other sources, the cost of which is projected to be lower than what the cost of Fuel/Reactant Operation Expenses of Electric Energy generated by Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 would be during the period of such cessation in operation, Louisville shall make available to IMPA replacement Electric Energy from such other sources during the period of such cessation in operation. The amount of such replacement Electric Energy to be made available to IMPA during such period shall be the amount of Electric Energy requested by IMPA during such period, but not in excess
16
of the amount to which IMPA would have been entitled during such period had the operation of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 not ceased or the output not been reduced. The per kilowatt-hour cost of such replacement Electric Energy shall be the per kilowatt-hour cost incurred by Louisville for such replacement Electric Energy obtained from such other sources during such period.
5.4. Electric Capability And Energy Entitlements.
Louisville and IMPA shall be entitled to the Net Electric Generating Capability and Associated Electric Energy of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 in proportion to their respective ownership interests in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1; however, the Net Electric Generating Capability of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 shall not exceed the applicable Net Seasonal Capability of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1, except under criteria as may be established by the Coordination Committee. These entitlements shall begin at the time of Closing and continue until Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 ceases to be used for the generation of Electric Energy.

5.5.3. Procurement Of Fuel.
At all times, Louisville shall make necessary and reasonable efforts to maintain an adequate supply of fuel. At IMPA’s request, Louisville will receive bids or proposals from suppliers of Indiana coal who wish to be considered for purchases of coal supplies for Xxxxxxx County Unit 1. Louisville shall have no obligation to consider any particular bid or proposal, which in Louisville’s sole judgment, is not in the best interest of the Owners when considering price, reliability, quality, and other relevant terms, conditions, and considerations. IMPA may elect from time to time to purchase fuel directly for use in connection with its share of Xxxxxxx County Unit I pursuant to fuel specifications and procedures for delivery, handling, testing, and use as approved by Louisville. In such case, IMPA shall contract and pay directly to suppliers and billing under this Agreement
17
shall be adjusted appropriately. IMPA shall be responsible for all its costs resulting from these separate fuel procurement activities, and for any additional costs imposed upon the other Owners where such additional costs result from activities not performed by or under the direct supervision of Louisville pursuant to this Agreement.

To the extent that such loss, damage, or liability is not covered by Insurance or by any indemnity agreement, Louisville shall present and prosecute claims therefor against any parties who may be liable therefor. Nothing herein shall require Louisville to initiate, present, or prosecute any claim which, in its sole judgment, is without sufficient merit to warrant such enforcement, or otherwise is inconsistent with the Owners’ general business interests. Nothing herein shall require Louisville to invoke any certain type of enforcement procedure, or to seek, or to continue to seek, enforcement of any claim, when in Louisville’s sole judgment, the Owners’ general business interests are better served by settling or withdrawing such claim. If any such claim by the Owners is in excess of $250,000 in amount, Louisville shall notify IMPA of the existence and nature of such claim and shall also notify IMPA if and when any settlement of such claim is accomplished by Louisville.
In the event that Louisville should fail or refuse to diligently prosecute any claim, nothing herein contained shall prevent IMPA from prosecuting such claim or demand in its own name, to the extent of, and as such claim or demand affects, its interest. IMPA may intervene in any suit on a claim pursuant to this Article as an additional plaintiff or defendant to assert or defend as to its respective ownership interest and rights. Cost and monies net of reasonable expenses recovered are to be shared by the Owners in proportion to their respective ownership interests in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1.
18
5.5.7. Processing Claims By Third Parties.
Louisville shall investigate, adjust, defend, and settle claims by third parties against IMPA and Louisville, arising out of or attributable to Operating Work or Incremental Capital Assets, or the past or future performance or nonperformance of the obligations and duties of either IMPS or Louisville under or pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to any claim resulting from death or injury to persons or damage to property, when such claims are not covered by valid and collectible Insurance carried by Louisville or IMPA and, whenever and to the extent reasonable, present and prosecute claims against any third party, including insurers, for any costs, losses, and damages incurred in connection’ with such claims. If tiny such claim against IMPS and Louisville is in excess of $50,000 in amount and is not covered by valid and collectible Insurance carried by Louisville or 1MPA, Louisville shall notify IMPA of the existence and nature of such claim and shall also notify IMPA if and when any settlement of such claim is accomplished by Louisville. Settlement of claims in excess of $1,000,000 shall be reported to and approved by the Coordination Committee.
In the event that Louisville should fail or refuse to diligently defend any claim, nothing herein contained shall prevent IMPA from defending such claim or demand in its own name, to the extent of, and as such claim or demand affects, its interest. IMPA may intervene in any suit on a claim pursuant to this Article as an additional party to defend as to its respective ownership interests and rights in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1.
5.5.8. Delivery Of Operating data.
As promptly as practicable after the end of each month, Louisville shall render to IMPA a statement setting forth appropriate operating data as may be needed for reports and records.
5.6. Environmental Laws and Regulations.
Each Party shall be responsible for its own share of any obligations, costs, or burdens of any kind, resulting from any federal, state, or local environmental law, regulation, or requirement, as amended from time to time. Similarly, each Party shall be entitled to its share, on a pro rata ownership basis, of any rights, credits, or entitlements associated with such law, regulation, or requirement. Louisville’s obligation to produce generation from IMPA’s share of Thimble County Unit 1, as well as Louisville’s obligation to produce backup power and energy as set forth in Article 10 hereof, shall be conditioned upon IMPA’s compliance with such laws, regulations, or requirements as set forth in this Article, and IMPA’s possession of required environmental allowances needed for such generation. In the event IMPA’s rights, credits, or entitlements from Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 or other sources are not sufficient to allow the desired level of generation from IMPA’s share of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 or the production of backup power and energy, Louisville shall provide such rights, credits, or entitlements to IMPA upon IMPA’s request and after consultation with IMPA concerning the availability and cost of such rights, credits, or entitlements. Louisville shall have no obligation, however,
19
to provide such rights, credits, or entitlements where such rights, credits, or entitlements are required for use by Louisville to serve its Internal Load, or any firm off-system sales existing prior to any request for backup power and energy, or backup power and energy to IMEA. Louisville may satisfy this obligation, at its option, by supplying such rights, credits, or entitlements from its own system, or by purchasing from other sources. Such obligation shall be limited to the rights, credits, or entitlements necessary to operate IMPA’s portion of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 at the lower of an 80 percent Capacity Factor or IMPA’s actual Capacity Factor, and shall apply only to the excess requirements above the rights, credits, or entitlements obtained by IMPA as a result of its ownership Interest in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 or from other sources.
IMPA shall compensate Louisville for providing such allowances for IMPA’s Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 generation, as well as for allowances for backup power and energy sold by Louisville to IMPA under Article 10 hereof, at a price equal to the fair market value of such allowances, as such value may change from time to time. Fair market value and procedures for billing and payment will be determined according to criteria set forth by the Coordination Committee; provided that, fair market value shall not be less than
Louisville’s actual cost of providing or obtaining such allowances. In lieu of compensation under this Article for such allowances, where agreed by the Parties, such compensation may be accounted for by inclusion in the price for backup power pursuant to the Interconnection Agreement between the Parties.
5.7. Indemnification Of Environmental Fines And Penalties.
Louisville will indemnify IMPA against administrative fines and civil penalties arising out of the operation of the Xxxxxxx County Plant imposed for violations of applicable environmental laws and regulations, resulting from acts of Louisville as plant operator. Exclusions from this special indemnification shall include operation and maintenance costs which might be incurred as a result of environmental laws and regulations, Incremental Capital Assets incurred in environmental compliance, occurrences from acts of third parties or from equipment failure or malfunction, remedial measures imposed by administrative agencies for environmental purposes, or reimbursement of response costs under Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation And Liability Act (CERCLA) and K.R.S. Chapter 224, and subsequent amendments thereof, and any subsequently enacted legislation covering the same subject matter as CERCLA and K.R.S. Chapter 224, or to any claims of personal injury or property damage.
20
6.1. Determination Of Need.
The Coordination Committee shall approve Incremental Capital Assets expected to cost over $250,000. Louisville shall have the authority to make all decisions with respect to Incremental Capital Assets expected to cost $250,000 or less. Emergency expenditures for Incremental Capital Assets which total in excess of $250,000 in any calendar year shall be submitted to the Coordination Committee for ratification.
6.2. Estimate Of Costs.
Prior to beginning of work on any Incremental Capital Asset which Louisville expects to cost more than $1,000,000, such estimate shall be furnished by Louisville in reasonable detail to IMPA for use by it in anticipating its financial requirements. Such estimate shall be subject to revision periodically to reflect more current information on such Incremental Capital Asset.
6.3. Responsibility For Costs.
Subsequent to the Closing, the costs of each Incremental Capital Asset shall be borne by Louisville and IMPA in proportion to their respective percentage ownership interests in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1. The amount incurred for Incremental Capital Assets during each month shall be included in the monthly xxxxxxxx provided for in Article 8.L IMPA’s share of all Incremental Capital Assets booked during January 1993, shall not be reflected in the Purchase Price stated in Article 3.1 hereof, but shall be included instead in the first monthly billing to IMPA following Closing.
21
7.1. Monthly Charges.
The Owners will share all costs associated with Xxxxxxx County Unit 1, and with the Thimble County General Plant Facilities and the Xxxxxxx County Site as they pertain to Xxxxxxx County Unit 1. These costs are set forth below in five components for billing and accounting purposes. The Parties intend that these components incorporate all costs which are or could be associated with Xxxxxxx County Unit 1, and with the Xxxxxxx County General Plant Facilities and the Xxxxxxx County Site as they pertain to Xxxxxxx County Unit 1. Should, however, any item or category of costs not fall within the technical definitions of any of the five components, the Parties agree to adjust the billing components so as to include such item or category.
Starting at the Closing, IMPA shall pay a monthly amount equal to the sum of the five components delineated in Articles 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.3, 7.1.4, and 7.1.5, as provided for in Article 8.1.
7.1.1. Fuel/Reactant Operation Expense.
All Fuel/Reactant Operation Expenses of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 will be prorated to the Parties, according to the net Electric Energy consumed by each Party as compared to the total net energy generated by Xxxxxxx County Unit 1.
For purposes of this Article, Fuel/Reactant Operation Expenses shall be allocated to IMPA on the basis of its loss-adjusted net Electric Energy during the applicable month. This loss-adjusted net Electric Energy shall be calculated by multiplying IMPA’s actual Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 net Electric Energy during the month by a loss factor to be determined using load flow studies or other mutually acceptable analyses which, at the request of either Party, but not more frequently than once every two years, shall be reviewed and shall be adjusted as appropriate.
7.2. Fixed Operation And Maintenance Expenses.
A Fixed Operation and Maintenance Expenses component shall be shared by the Parties in proportion to their respective percentage ownership interest in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1.
7.2.1. Non-Fuel Operating Component.
A non-fuel operating component shall be shared by the Parties in proportion to their respective percentage ownership interest in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1, calculated monthly as the sum of the following four items as they relate to Xxxxxxx County Unit 1, and the Xxxxxxx County General Plant Facilities and the Xxxxxxx County Site as they pertain to Xxxxxxx County Unit I:
22
(a) Taxes other than federal and state income taxes (Account 408.1), except that those categories of taxes, or payments in lieu thereof, that are directly billed to IMPA by the taxing authority and paid by IMPA, shall not be included in this item.
(b) Administrative and general expenses (Accounts 920-935) as recorded in Louisville’s accounting records under the Uniform System of Accounts.
(c) Lease payments which result from a third-party financed Incremental Capital Asset.
(d) Penalties (Account 426.3), except for those environmental penalties against which Louisville is indemnifying IMPA under Article 5.7 hereof.
7.2.2. Working Capital Component.
A working capital component shall be shared by the Parties in proportion to their respective percentage ownership interests in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1. This component is comprised of the items listed below, to the extent that each of these items relates to Xxxxxxx County Unit 1, the Xxxxxxx County General Plant Facilities (as they pertain to Xxxxxxx County Unit 1), and the Xxxxxxx County Site (as it pertains to Xxxxxxx County Unit 1). This component shall be calculated by multiplying the beginning monthly balances of the items by Louisville’s Cost of Capital as “grossed up’ for federal and state income taxes.
(a) Fuel stocks (Account 151).
(b) Fuel stock expenses undistributed (Account 152).
(c) Plant materials and operating supplies (Account 154).
(d) Stores expense undistributed (Account 163).
(e) Prepayments (Account 165).
(f) Miscellaneous deferred debits (Account 186).
7.2.3. Transmission Charge.
A transmission charge to cover transmission of the Electric Energy from Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 to the Delivery Points shall be assessed according to the Xxxxxxx County schedule contained in the Interconnection Agreement. Such schedule may be changed by Louisville from time to time based on revised cost information, but shall continue to be calculated throughout the duration of this Agreement according to the same cost of service methodology as was used to support the initial schedule. Should FERC at any time decline to accept a rate based on such methodology, a new rate shall be calculated using approved methodology as close as possible to the initial methodology such that the original intent of the Parties in pricing this service shall be maintained.
23
BILLING, PAYMENTS, AND RECORDS
8.1. Xxxxxxxx By Louisville.
As promptly as practicable, but not more than twelve working days after the end of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, Louisville shall prepare and send to IMPA a statement, in such detail and with such segregations as may be needed for operating and accounting records, to indicate monthly amounts due under the provisions of this Agreement.
8.2. Payments By IMPA Or Louisville.
All bills under Article 8.1 for amounts owed by IMPA to Louisville shall be due and payable on the tenth working day following the invoice date. Amounts owing by either Party to the other under the Interconnection Agreement or under the provisions of this Agreement, other than under Article 8.1, shall be settled in accordance with the procedures set forth in such provisions as give rise to the obligations. Interest on unpaid amounts shall accrue at the Agreed Rate from the date due until the date upon which payment is made. Payments by IMPA to Louisville based on over billing by
Louisville shall bear interest at the Agreed Rate beginning on the thirty. first day after receipt by Louisville and running until such amount is repaid or credited by Louisville. Unless otherwise agreed upon, a calendar month shall be the standard monthly period for the purpose of settlements under this Agreement.
Should either Party withhold payment of any contested amount, the procedure for resolution of disputes under Article 19 shall be invoked automatically. Non-payment of any amount contested in good faith by either Party shall not constitute a default under Article 17 prior to completion of the disagreement procedures under Article 19. The unpaid Party may contend a default exist! under Article 17, if payment continues to be withheld following completion of the disagreement procedures under Article 19 including arbitration if both Parties have elected to arbitrate.

All such records shall be considered confidential and proprietary business records of the Party that generated the particular record in question. Neither Party shall make use of records of the other Party without the express written consent of such Party, except for disclosure or use which is permitted by this Agreement or where required by lawful authority, or for purposes of litigation or alternative dispute resolution procedures.
All Electric Energy delivered under this Agreement shall be of the character commonly known as three-phase sixty-hertz energy, and shall be considered as being delivered at Louisville’s Delivery Points.
Obtaining transmission service for transmitting power under this Agreement from Louisville’s Delivery Points shall be the sole responsibility of IMPA. If an electric system or systems, which is not part of the electric systems owned by either of the Parties, is used to transmit the Net Electric Energy from Louisville’s delivery Points to IMPA, the cost of such transmission service shall be paid by IMPA. Losses which are incurred through such third party transmission(s) shall be assumed by IMPA.
10.1. From Louisville.
In any hour of any month that the Net Electric Generating Capability of Xxxxxxx County Unit 1 is less than the Net Seasonal Capability, IMPA shall have the option to request from Louisville backup power and energy from Louisville’s other generating resources. For IMPA to receive this backup power and energy, both of the following conditions must be met:
(a) the amount of backup power and energy shall not exceed an amount equal to IMPA’s share (based on its percentage ownership interest in Xxxxxxx County Unit 1) of such reduction from Net Seasonal Capability; and
(b) the amount of backup power and energy requested, as limited by (a) above, is available from Louisville’s other generating resources and is not required to serve Louisville’s Internal Load, to honor any firm commitments made by Louisville for
25
off-system sales existing prior to any particular request for backup power and energy, or to provide backup power and energy to IMEA.
Compensation for backup power and energy will correspond to the demand and energy rate provisions of the Backup Power service schedule contained in the Interconnection Agreement in effect at the time backup energy is delivered. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Louisville to construct, acquire, expand, or maintain new or existing generating resources for the purpose of supplying backup power to IMPA pursuant to this Agreement.
10.2. From Third Parties.
In the event Louisville is unable to provide backup power and energy from its own system, Louisville will, at the request of IMPA, make its best effort to purchase backup power and energy from another party for resale to IMPA. Louisville will xxxx IMPA for such purchased backup power and energy according to the terms for such third party transactions contained in the Backup Power service schedule contained in the Interconnection Agreement in effect at the time backup energy is delivered.
