7.4 Cost Savings

(a) If, during the Effective Term of this Arrangement, a decision is taken that the Whitewood Mine should be closed, either the Owner or the Buyer may, within 60 days of such decision, request the commissioning of an independent study (the “Mine Study”) to be carried out with respect to the potential saving that could be realized from the deployment of the Xxxxxx 8200 Dragline (together with its associated equipment), presently located at the Whitewood Mine, at the Highvale Mine.

(b) The other Party may agree on the possibility and level (if positive) of cost savings, in which case the proposed changes shall be implemented and the Parties

INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT TEAM 22 Final Version

Sundance C Power Purchase Arrangement

shall be compensated as set out hereunder. Lacking such agreement, the study the Mine Study shall be commissioned and undertaken by an independent and reputable mining engineering consultant, generally accepted as skilled in the area of coal mining equipment deployment, agreed to by both Parties. The Mine Study shall provide an ex ante forecast of all annual fixed (those costs which are constant regardless of the level of coal production) and variable (those costs which vary with the level of coal production) cost savings that would be expected to be achieved by the deployment of the Xxxxxx 8200 Dragline at the Highvale Mine for each Year remaining in the Arrangement at the time the Mine Study is undertaken. An indexation mechanism shall be determined for the fixed coal costs and the variable coal costs set out in the Mine Study. All cost savings would be calculated using then existing costs as the base numbers. In calculating such savings, the Mine Study shall incorporate a forecast of total coal production at the Highvale Mine in each Year then remaining in the term of the Arrangement, such forecast to be developed by agreement or a mutually acceptable independent expert generally accepted as skilled in the area of coal production.

(c) The Parties shall co-operate in the carrying out of the Mine Study and take all necessary reasonable steps to ensure that it is completed in a timely way.

(d) In the event that no potential savings are identified by the Mine Study or any savings which are identified are not material in the opinion of the consultant preparing the Mine Study, the full cost of the Mine Study shall be borne by the Party which requested it but in all other cases the Mine Study shall be paid for by the Owner and the first call on any savings in mining costs shall be used to pay the Owner’s costs in respect of the Mine Study.

(e) If the forecast savings are material, they shall be shared equally by the Owner, as to one half, and the group consisting of each buyer or holder of a power purchase arrangement, financial instrument or financial settlement pursuant to Part 4.1 of the Act with respect to the Keephills plant and the Sundance plant, or any part thereof, as to the other half, using the ex-ante forecasts of fixed cost savings and variable cost savings contained in the Mine Study and not the actual results achieved in each Year. Each such buyer’s or holder’s share shall be pro-rata to the sum of all of its Deemed Annual Coal Consumption (ACUuy), as determined in Schedule E in respect of the latest Year for which such values have been determined or, in respect of the first Year of the Effective Term, the values of ACUuy that would have been determined if the Units were dispatch at their Target Availabailities (TAuy), all calculated in accordance with the power purchaser arrangement, financial instrument or financial settlement applicable to such buyer or holder

(f) At the commencement of each Year following the release of the Mine Study, the Owner shall prepare a bona fide estimate of the total cost savings which are expected for such Year and provide such figure to the Buyer. The Buyer shall thereupon be entitled to deduct its proportionate share of such amount by way of 12 equal installments from each of the monthly payments it makes to the Owner

INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT TEAM 23 Final Version

Sundance C Power Purchase Arrangement

in such Year. Within 60 days after the end of such Year, the Owner shall calculate the total cost savings in accordance with the mechanism set out in Section 7.4(g) and whatever adjustment is required so that the Parties shall share those total cost savings as set out in Section 7.4(e), shall be paid forthwith by the Party owing such adjustment payment.

(g) The mechanism for calculating the total cost savings for a Year is as follows:

(i) The quantum of the fixed costs savings for such Year shall be equal to the ex-ante forecast of fixed savings identified in the Mine Study for such Year.

(ii) The quantum of the variable cost savings for such Year shall be calculated by adjusting the quantum of the ex-ante forecast identified in the Mine Study for such Year by the following formula:

variable cost savings = quantum of ex ante variable forecast of cost savings x (Actual production/Expected production)

where:

Actual production = the actual coal production for such Year (expressed in tonnes); and

Expected production = the coal production for such Year as set out in the Mine Study (expressed in tonnes).

(iii) The fixed cost savings determined in accordance with Section 7.4(g)(i) shall be escalated to such Year using the same indexation mechanism determined for the fixed cost savings in the Mine Study. The variable cost savings determined in accordance with Section 7.4(g)(ii) shall be escalated to such Year using the same indexation mechanism as determined for the variable coal costs in the Mine Study.

(iv) The sum of the fixed cost savings and variable cost savings, as escalated in accordance with Section 7.4(g)(iii), equals the total cost savings for the Year.

ARTICLE 8 COSTS

8.1 Change in Costs

In the event of a change to any Pass Through Cost, the Owner shall provide the Buyer with written evidence of such change.

Similarly, the Indemnitee shall not make any admission of liability regarding or settle or compromise such Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnitor. If a firm offer is made to settle a Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation of the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to full indemnification hereunder or for which the Indemnitee has not been fully released and discharged from further liability or obligations, and the Indemnitor desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnitor shall give written notice to the Indemnitee to that effect. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within 5 Days after receipt of such notice or such shorter period as may be required by the offer to settle, the

Indemnitor may continue to contest or defend such Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnitor in relation to such Claim shall be the amount of such settlement offer, plus reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnitee up to the date of such notice.

(f) The Indemnitee shall use all reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnitor or its representatives all books, records, documents and other materials and shall use all reasonable efforts to provide access to its employees

and make such employees available as witnesses as reasonably required by the Indemnitor for its use in defending any Claim and shall otherwise co-operate to the fullest extent reasonable with the Indemnitor in the defence of such Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for all reasonable expenses associated with making such books, records, documents, materials, employees and witnesses available to the Indemnitor or its representatives.

(g) The right of any Indemnitee to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to its or his heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(h) If the Indemnitor has undertaken the defence of a Claim and:

(i) if there is a reasonable expectation that such Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, or the Indemnitee or Indemnitees may have legal defences available to it or them that are different from or additional to the defences available to the Indemnitor; then the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to defend such Claim; and

(ii) if the Indemnitor shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall nevertheless have the right, at its own cost and expense, to defend such Claim.

shall not be entitled to make any other claim against the Owner including a claim under Section 13.1, and shall not have any other remedy at law or in equity, for any losses, costs, expenses, damages or other liabilities of any nature or kind that may be incurred or suffered by the Buyer in connection with any such failure, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Arrangement, the Owner shall not be in default under this Arrangement in connection with any such failure unless such failure results from the Owner’s willful act or omission.

13.4 Duty to Mitigate

Each Party has a duty to mitigate damages and shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize any losses, costs, expenses, damages or other liabilities it may incur as a result of the other Party’s performance or non-performance of this Arrangement, but for greater certainty, neither Party shall have any duty to mitigate damages or losses for which this Arrangement provides specific compensation by way of the Monthly Incentive Payments, Monthly Operating Characteristics Penalty Payments or any Termination Payments unless otherwise stated.

ARTICLE 14 FORCE MAJEURE

14.1 Relief for Force Majeure

If either Party is unable, wholly or in part, to perform or comply with any obligation hereunder, and if such inability shall have been occasioned by or as a consequence of any event of Force Majeure, the obligations of such Party, insofar only as its obligations are affected by the event of Force Majeure, shall be suspended for so long as the event of Force Majeure continues to prevent the performance of or compliance with such obligation and for such time thereafter as such Party may reasonably require to fulfill such obligation.

14.2 Notice and Efforts to Continue

If either Party relies on the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure as a basis for claiming suspension of an obligation under this Arrangement, such Party shall:

(a) provide prompt notice to the other Party and the Balancing Pool of the event or condition being relied upon as an event of Force Majeure, including its expected duration and the probable impact on the performance of or compliance with its obligations hereunder;

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Arrangement, the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other labour disputes or industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party involved therein and that Party may make settlement thereof at such time and on such terms and conditions as it may deem to be appropriate and the failure to make such a settlement shall constitute a cause beyond the reasonable control of that Party.

14.4 Effect of Force Majeure

During any period in which the Owner’s obligations to perform or comply with an obligation under this Arrangement are suspended pursuant to Section 14.1, the Monthly Capacity Payment shall be reduced as provided for in Schedule C to reflect the availability of Committed Capacity of each Unit during such Month. The Owner shall be entitled to payment from the Balancing Pool of the difference, if any, between the Provisional Capacity Payment and the Monthly Capacity Payment for such Month.

14.5 Buyer’s Force Majeure

During any event existing on the IES which is caused by any event or occurrence of the character herein defined as constituting Force Majeure, and which renders the Buyer unable, in whole or in part, to take delivery of Electricity (and for the purposes of calculations made in the Schedules to this Arrangement such an event shall be classified as an event of Force Majeure), the Monthly Capacity Payment for a Month shall be reduced as provided for in Schedule C to reflect such inability of the Buyer and the provisions of Section 14.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

14.6 Termination for Force Majeure

Subject to Section 15.4, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Arrangement, if an event of Force Majeure relieves the Owner of all or substantially all its obligations to make available Committed Capacity or to deliver Electricity and System Support Services from any Unit hereunder:

(b) where both Parties agree that such Force Majeure event will have such an effect for six (6) consecutive months; or

then the Buyer may terminate this Arrangement in whole but not in part.

Termination in respect of less than the whole Plant shall additionally require the agreement of the Balancing Pool if the Balancing Pool is to pay a termination amount in accordance with Schedule L.

(b) If the Buyer and, if the Balancing Pool’s agreement is required, the Balancing Pool agree with the Owner’s determination or fail to dispute the determination within ten (10) Business Days after notice of the determination is given, this Arrangement will immediately terminate in respect of such Unit or the Plant as the case may be.

(c) If the Buyer (or, as the case may be, the Balancing Pool) disputes the Owner’s determination within such ten (10) Business Days, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 19 (which determination shall be binding upon the Balancing Pool in respect of termination for less than all of the Units).

(b) if a period of six (6) Months has elapsed since the date of damage or destruction and the Unit or Plant is not fully or substantially operational and the Buyer has, by having given written notice to the Owner within thirty (30) Days after such damage or destruction has occurred, informed the Owner of the Buyer’s desire to so terminate under the terms of this Section 15.3.(b).

15.4 Termination Rights

If any Unit or the Plant is damaged or destroyed, whether or not due to an event of Force Majeure, the Buyer’s rights with respect to termination are set out in this Article 15, and the provisions of Section 14.6 shall not apply.

C2.2 Owner’s Obligation to Calculate Values (2)

If for Year y no value of CPuy is to be determined but a value of CPuy was determined in respect of the previous Year y-1, the Owner shall determine a value of the Aggregate Passthrough Charges Trueup (PCTUuy) for this Year y and the Buyer shall pay to the Owner this amount.

INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT TEAM 12 Final Version

Sundance Units 5 and 6 Schedule C

ARTICLE C3 ANNUAL CAPACITY CHARGE

C3.1 Aggregate Passthrough Charges

The Aggregate Passthrough Charges Trueup (PCTUuy) shall be calculated as follows:

For the first Year of the Effective Term PCTUuy = 0, but in all other cases:

PCTUuy = APPCu(y-1) + ATACu(y-i) + AFGNCu(y-1) + APTAXu(y-1) + CFCRu(y-1)+ CVCRu(y-1) + AINSCU(y-1) + APELECU(y-1) - PCU(y-1)

The Aggregate Passthrough Charges (PCuy) shall be calculated as follows:

PCUy = APPCU(y-1) + ATACu(y-1) + AFGNCU(y-1) + APTAXU(y-1) + CFCRU(y-1)+ CVCRU(y-1) + AINSCU(y-l) + APELECu(y-1) + PCTUuy

where APPCU(y-1) are the Actual Power Pool Charges for Year y-1, ATACU(y-1) are the Actual Transmission Administrator Charges for Year y-1, AFGNCu(y-1) are the Actual Fixed Gas Network Charges for Year y-1, APTAXU(y-1) are the Actual Property Taxes for Year y-1, CFCRu(y-1) is the Change to Fixed Crown Coal Royalty Cost for Year y-I (determined as shown below), CVCRu(y-1) is the Change to Variable Crown Coal Royalty Cost for Year y-1 (determined in Schedule E), AINSCU(y-1) are the Actual Insurance Premium Costs for Year y-1 and APELECU(y-1) are the Actual Plant Electricity Consumed Charges for Year y-1.

The values of APPCu(y-1) (Actual Power Pool Charges for Year y-1), ATACU(y-1) (Actual Transmission Administrator Charges for Year y-1), AFGNCU(y-1) (Actual Fixed Gas Network Charges for Year y-1), APTAXu(y-1) (Actual Property Taxes for Year y-1) and APELECU(y-1) (Actual Plant Electricity Consumed Charges for Year y-1) shall be determined by the Owner as reasonably reflecting the share of the relevant total costs or charges properly incurred by the Owner that should acrue to the particular Unit u. In the event that the Owner reasonably believes that there is no manifestly obvious way of sharing the relevant cost or charges at the Plant level across the Units u within the Plant, the costs or charges shall be shared pro-rata to the Committed Capacity of the Units. The value of AINSCU(y-1) (Actual Insurance Premium Costs for Year y-1) in respect of each Unit shall be determined by the Owner in accordance with the rules set out in Section 9.1.

At the end of any Year y in which a New Crown Royalty Rate (NVCRd) has been introduced, a value of the Change to Fixed Crown Royalty Cost (CFCRuy) shall be determined as follows:

CFCRuy = (FCRuy x (NVCRd - OVCR) / OVCR) x (PERYy /100)

where FCRy is the Fixed Crown Royalty Cost (given in the table in Article C7), NVCRd is the New Variable Crown Royalty Rate, OVCR is the Original Variable Crown Royalty Rate (and is $0.55 per tonne) and PERYy is the percentage of the Year for which the New Variable Crown Royalty Rate applies.

Sundance Units 5 and 6 Schedule C

C3.2 Unit Assets Depreciation Charge

The Unit Assets Depreciation Charge (DPGUuy) shall be determined as follows:

WI3Uy (the weighted index factor relating to generating unit capital additions) in Year y will be calculated as follows:

WI3Uy = (0.5 + (0.5FXy/1.50)) x INDX9y / INDX998

where FXy is the Average US $ - Canadian $ Exchange Rate and INDX9 is the Industrial Product Price Index (1992=100) - Machinery and Equipment - Capital Equipment Index (Cansim P1321).

The Indexed Unit Capital Additions in Year y (ICAuy) is determined as follows:

ICAuy = CAuy x WI3Uy

where CAuy is the Base Unit Capital Additions in Year y, given in the Table in Article C7 The Unit Capital Retirements in Year y (Ruy) is calculated as:

Ruy = 0.1 x ICAuy

The Opening Gross Book Value Unit Assets (OGBVuy) is determined as follows:

OGBVuy = CGBVu(y-1)

where CGBVu(y-1) is the Closing Gross Book Value Unit Assets for the previous Year (y-1), and is determined as follows:

for the first Year of the Effective Term the Closing Gross Book Value Unit Assets for the previous Year (CGBVu(y-1)) = the value for Year 2000 given in the Table in Article C7; but for all other Years:

CGBVu(y-1) = OGBVu(y-1) + ICAu(y-1) – Ru(y-1)

The Last Year of the Effective Life of the Unit (UELuy) is found as follows:

UELuy = 2000 + ELUu

where ELUu is the effective life of the Unit as given in the Table in Article C7 The Remaining Life of Unit in Year y (RLuy) is determined as follows:

RLuy = UELuy – (CYy – 1)

where UELuy is the Last Year of the Effective Life of the Unit, and CYy is the Current Year.

The Opening Accumulated Unit Depreciation in Year y (OADuy) is determined as follows: OADuy = CADu(y-1)

where CADu(y-1) is the Closing Accumulated Unit Depreciation for the previous Year (y-1), and is determined as follows:

for the first Year of the Effective Term the Closing Accumulated Unit Depreciation for the previous Year (CADu(y-1)) = the value for Year 2000 given in the Table in Article C7; but for all other Years:

CADu(y-1) = OADu(y-1) + DPGUu(y-1) – Ru(y-1)

INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT TEAM 14 Final Version

Sundance Units 5 and 6 Schedule C

The Unit Assets Depreciation Charge (DPGUuy) is found as follows:

If RLuy £ 0 then DPGUuy = 0; but in all other cases:

ARTICLE C5

CALCULATION OF IMPUTED INCOME TAX

C5.1 Calculation of Imputed Income Tax

The calculation of imputed income tax includes a flow-through tax component that is the total of the corporate income tax, and the greater of corporate surtax and large corporations tax. This flow-through component estimates the income taxes that will be due and payable by the Owner to income tax authorities. The imputed income tax also includes a deferred tax component called the transitional tax. This deferred component is a reduction of the total imputed income tax that estimates the net present value of the tax shield that will be realised by the Owner in future

INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT TEAM 23 Final Version

Sundance Units 5 and 6 Schedule C

Years. The tax shield represents the tax benefits of undepreciated capital cost pools at the end of the PPA period. In addition, an income tax true-up component is added to the imputed income tax in order to account for any changes in forecasted indices as well as changes in income tax rates that occur during the course of a Year.

The Imputed Income Tax for this Unit u for the Current Year y (ITuy) shall be determined as follows:

ITuy = CITuy + max[CSTuy, LCTuy] + FTTuy + PTTuy + ITTUuy

where CITuy is the Corporate Income Tax for this Unit u for the Current Year y as determined in Article C5.2, CSTuy is the Corporate Surtax for this Unit u for the Current Year y as determined in Article C5.5, LCTuy is the Large Corporations Tax for this Unit u for the Current Year y as determined in Article C5.6, FTTuy is the Federal Transitional Tax for this Unit u for the Current Year y as determined in Article C5.9, and PTTuy is the Provincial Transitional Tax for this Unit u for the Current Year y as determined in Article C5.10;

where the Imputed Income Tax Trueup for the Current Year y (ITTUuy) shall be determined as follows:

ITTUuy = ACITu(y-1) + max[ACSTu(y-1), ALCTu(y-1)] + AFTTu(y-1) + APTTu(y-1)

where ACITu(y.i) is the difference between the forecasted amount for Actual Corporate Income Tax for this Unit u for the Previous Year (y-1) otherwise determined in Article C5.2 and the actual amount calculated using actual indices and actual tax rates for the Previous Year (y-1), ACSTu(y-1) is the difference between the forecasted amount for Actual Corporate Surtax for this Unit u for the Previous Year (y-1) otherwise determined in Article C5.5 and the actual amount calculated using actual indices and actual tax rates for the Previous Year (y-1), ALCTu(y-1) is the difference between the forecasted amount for Actual Large Corporations Tax for this Unit u for the Previous Year (y-1) otherwise determined in Article C5.6 and the actual amount calculated using actual indices and actual tax rates for the Previous Year (y-1), AFTTu(y-1) is the difference between the forecasted amount for Actual Federal Transitional Tax for this Unit u for the Previous Year (y-1) otherwise determined in Article C5.9 and the actual amount calculated using actual indices and actual tax rates for the Previous Year (y-1), and APTTu(y-1) is the difference between the forecasted amount for Actual Provincial Transitional Tax for this Unit u for the Previous Year (y-1) otherwise determined in Article C5.10 and the actual amount calculated using actual indices and actual tax rates for the Previous Year (y-1).

C5.2 Calculation of Corporate Income Tax

The corporate income tax comprises of Federal and Provincial components. Both income tax calculations are based upon cost of equity and cost of preferred stock representing the after-tax return earned in any Year. The net return is adjusted for permanent and timing differences between accounting and taxable income. The adjusted net return is then grossed-up to reflect the before-tax net return required.

The Corporate Income Tax for this Unit u for the Current Year y (CITuy) shall be determined as follows:

CITuy = FITuy + PITuy

FITuy= [(COEuy + COPuy + DEPNuy + IDNSCuy - Sc FCCAcuy + IFPDuy + FOTDuy) /
