Cases”), pursuant to section 365(a) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), 

Rule 6006 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), and Rule 6006-

1 of the Bankruptcy Local Rules for the United States District Court for the Northern District of 

California (the “Bankruptcy Local Rules”), for an order approving the Utility’s assumption of the 

Real Property Leases with the Lessors identified in Exhibit B to the Motion, all as more fully set

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. The Motion is granted as provided herein. 

2. Pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Utility’s assumption of the Real 

Property Leases in Schedule 1 annexed to this Order is hereby approved, effective as of the date of 

entry of this Order. 

3. Assumption of the Real Property Leases shall be effective notwithstanding a dispute 

over the proposed Cure Payment or payment to remove a Lien. The Utility is authorized to and shall 

(i) promptly pay any Cure Payments as soon as practicable after assumption of the Real Property 

Leases, and (ii) remove any Liens on the Leased Properties (including, if necessary, by payments to 

the holders of Liens as authorized by the Lien Order). Any disputed Cure Payment or payment to 

remove a Lien must be paid promptly after the earlier of the date (a) on which the Utility and the 

applicable Lessor agree to such amounts and (b) specified in a final and non-appealable order 

entered by this Court determining such amounts. 

4. Following the payment of the Cure Payment and the removal of the Liens, the nondebtor parties to the Real Property Leases shall be forever barred, estopped, and permanently 

enjoined from asserting against the Utility, its successors or assigns, or its property, any default 

existing under the Real Property Leases as of the date hereof. 

5. Nothing in the Motion or this Order, nor as a result of any payment made pursuant to 

this Order, shall impair, prejudice, waive or otherwise affect the rights of the Utility and its estate to 

subsequently assign any of the Real Property Leases pursuant to, and in accordance with, the 

requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

6. The Utility is authorized to execute, deliver, implement, and fully perform any and all 

obligations, instruments, and documents, and to take any and all actions reasonably necessary or 

appropriate to perform under the Real Property Leases. 

7. The Utility is authorized to take all steps necessary or appropriate to carry out this 

Order.
