          the single-line diagram, relay list, and trip scheme shall not be made
          without the prior written consent of the Company pursuant to Section 3
          of the Contract. If any changes in or additions to such Facility,

          that such automatic equipment has been approved by the Company prior
          to installation for compatibility with Company's System.

2.   Operating Procedures

     (a)  The Company may require periodic reviews of the Seller's Facility,
          maintenance records, available operating procedures and policies, and

          the Company's System from damages resulting from the Seller's parallel
          operation.

          including reasons for planned and forced outages; circuit breaker trip
          operations; relay operations, including target initiation; and other
          unusual events. The Company shall have the right to review these logs,
          especially in analyzing system disturbances. The Seller will provide
          the Company with subsequent written confirmation any time the Seller



                                                                          PAGE 8

     (d)  The Company's Load Dispatcher shall specify the power factor at which
          energy is delivered by the Seller to the Company. Typical power factor
          requirements will normally operate in a range of 0.85 to 1.0.

     (e)  If Seller is separated from the Company's System for any reason, the
          Seller, under no circumstances, shall reclose into the Company's
          system without first obtaining specific approval to do so from the
          Company's Load Dispatcher. Such approval shall be withheld only when
          such reclosing is not in accordance with Section 17(a) of this
          Contract and the Company's standard practices, policies and
          procedures.

     (f)  The Company's Load Dispatcher will notify the Seller whenever the
          Seller must be separated from the Company's System pursuant to
          Sections 6 and 7 of this Contract. When possible, reasonable advance
          notice will be given to the Seller by the Company's Load Dispatcher,
          provided this provision does not limit the Company's obligation to
          give notice under Section 6(b) of this Contract.

          writing to the Company each year no later than June 30 of the previous
          year. The Company shall specify the maintenance schedule for the
          five-year period and inform the Seller in writing no later than
          September 30 of the same year. The Company shall not unreasonably
          delay maintenance of the Seller's Facility and will cooperate with
          Seller in establishing a reasonable schedule for the Seller's
          maintenance requirements.

     (h)  The Seller shall notify the Company's Load Dispatcher prior to
          synchronizing a generator onto or taking a generator off the system.
          Such notification should be as far in advance as reasonably possible
          under the circumstances causing the action.

     (i)  Company Dispatch - The Company shall have the sole and absolute right,
          through supervisory equipment or otherwise, to control, from moment to
          moment, within the limits of sound engineering practices, the rate of
          delivery of energy and capacity subject to a legally enforceable
          obligation to a maximum of the Seller's firm capacity obligation.

3.   Seller's Firm Capacity Obligation

     (a)  Firm Capacity Guarantee. The Seller shall furnish the Company 25,000
          kw of capacity and 15,000 kvar of reactive from December 31, 1990
          until the end of the contract term pursuant to a Legally Enforceable
          Obligation, under the Company's Dispatch during the entire term hereof
          except for the "annual overhaul period" set forth in Paragraph 3(b) of
          this Appendix B. The reactive shall be in proportion to power in the
          range of 0.85 lagging to 1.0 unity power factor and shall be
          dispatched by the Company to keep the Seller's generator within the
          limits of plus or minus 5% of the generator voltage.

     (c)  Minimum Delivery Guarantee By The Company. The Company shall accept as
          much of the power made available from the Seller as possible, given
          the limitations resulting from the Company's obligations to purchase
          minimum amounts of firm capacity from other firm capacity sellers, the
          Company's need to keep a minimum number of its own generating units
          on-line at least at a reasonable minimum loading, the Company's load

     a minimum of 178,000,000 kwh each year from the Seller under the Company's
     Dispatch subject to the provisions of Section 6 and 7 of the Contract. The
     178,000,000 kwh amount shall be reduced by the energy (kwh) that the Seller
     should have delivered to the Company but could not due to reasons other
     than the Annual Overhaul Period and force majeure.

(d)  Capacity Payments. The Company shall pay the Seller for the firm Capacity
     Under Company Dispatch Subject to a Legally Enforceable Obligation that the
     Seller is obligated to deliver to the Company pursuant to Paragraph 3 of
     this Appendix B as provided for by Paragraph B of Appendix D of this
     Contract.

(e)  Sanctions for Non-Performance. The Seller shall pay the sanctions provided
     for by Paragraph D of Appendix D of this Contract if it fails to satisfy
     its firm capacity obligations under this Contract.

(f)  Acceptance Tests. The Company shall conduct acceptance tests to determine
     when Firm Capacity Payments should begin or be adjusted in accordance with
     Appendix D, and to determine the adjustment factor to be used in the
     calculation of energy payments to reflect transformer losses between the
     metering facilities and the Company's transmission lines.

     (i)  Firm Capacity payments, pursuant to Paragraph 3(d) of Appendix B and
          Paragraph D.2. of Appendix D, shall begin when acceptance tests
          conducted by the Company indicate that the Seller has delivered 100%
          of the Seller's Firm Capacity Obligation for 100 consecutive hours,
          beginning at a time designated in advance by the Seller.

     (ii) The Transformer Loss Adjustment Factor, pursuant to Paragraph A.3. of
          Appendix D, shall be determined by acceptance tests of the specific
          transformer's losses conducted by the Company over a 100 consecutive
          hour period, beginning at a time designated in advance by the Seller.



                                                                         PAGE 11

                           POWER PURCHASES BY COMPANY

A.   ENERGY PURCHASES BY THE COMPANY

     1.   Subject to the other provisions of this Contract, including but not
          limited to Sections 6 and 7, the Company shall accept and pay for
          As-Available Energy generated by the Seller's Facility and delivered
          by the Seller to the Company at the higher of: (a) the respective
          on-peak and off-peak energy rates set forth in Section A.3. of this
          Appendix D, or (b) the Minimum Purchase Rate set forth in Section A.4.
          of this Appendix D; provided, however, that the rate of delivery of
          such Energy shall not exceed the Allowed Capacity as set forth in
          Appendix A at any given time.

     2.   Energy furnished by Seller to the Company shall be metered by a
          time-of-day meter. The Company shall not pay for any energy that may
          be delivered by the Seller prior to installation and operation of the
          Company's meters. The on-peak hours shall be those between 7:00 a.m.
          and 9:00 p.m. daily, and the off-peak hours shall be those between
          9:00 p.m. on one day and 7:00 a.m. on the following day.

     3.   The respective on-peak and off-peak energy rates for As-Available
          Energy shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Company's respective
          on-peak and off-peak Avoided Energy Costs (including avoided costs of
          fuel and operation and maintenance) in cents per kilowatthour,
          calculated in accordance with the provisions of the PUC's Standards,
          on file with the PUC and in effect for the month in which such Energy
          is delivered, as adjusted by the Transformer Loss Adjustment Factor
          that is to be determined pursuant to Paragraph 3(f)(ii) of Appendix B.

     4.   The Minimum Purchase Rate in this Contract shall apply to all
          deliveries of As-Available Energy made by Seller to Company during the
          term of this Contract and to all deliveries of Energy under a Legally
          Enforceable Obligation made by Seller to Company.



                                                                         PAGE 15

                                                         PAGE 2 OF 5

     5.   During each payment period Seller shall be credited at the rate of
          $0.002 per kilovarhour for each kilovarhour furnished by the Seller to
          the Company in excess of .62 x kwh. The kvarh meters shall be adjusted
          to prevent reversal in the event the power factor is leading.

     6.   Company shall accept and pay for Emergency Energy (as defined in
          Appendix F) generated by Seller's Facility and made available by
          Seller to Company, as follows: the respective on-peak and off-peak
          energy rates for Emergency Energy shall be three hundred percent
          (300%) of Company's on-peak and off-peak Avoided Energy Costs
          (including avoided costs of fuel and operation and maintenance) in
          cents per kilowatthour, calculated in accordance with the provisions
          of the PUC's Standards, on file with the PUC and in effect for the
          quarter in which such Energy is delivered.

     7.   The Seller shall deliver energy under Company Dispatch pursuant to a
          Legally Enforceable obligation as follows:

          (a)  On-Peak Period. During the 14 hour period from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00
               p.m. each day, the Seller shall be obligated to deliver energy
               under the Company's Dispatch at a rate equal to the seller's firm
               capacity obligation described in Paragraph 3 of Appendix B of
               this Contract.

          (b)  Off-Peak Period. During the 10 hour period from midnight to 7:00
               a.m. and 9:00 p.m. to midnight each day, the Seller shall be
               obligated to deliver energy under the Company's Dispatch at a
               rate not greater than the Seller's firm capacity obligation
               described in Paragraph 3 of Appendix B of this Contract and not
               less than the Minimum Delivery Guarantee.

B.   CAPACITY PURCHASES BY THE COMPANY

     1.   As compensation for providing the firm capacity under Company Dispatch
          as described in Paragraph 3 of Appendix B, the Company will pay the
          Seller a capacity payment, payable monthly within 20 days after the
          last day of the calendar month in which the firm capacity was
          provided, of 1/12 of the Annual Capacity Payment Rate.

     2.   The Capacity Payment Rate shall be $4,000,000 per year beginning on
          July l, 1990, or on the Commercial Operation date, whichever occurs
          first; provided that



                                                                         PAGE 16


                                                         ATTACHMENT D

                                                         PAGE 3 OF 5

          the Seller has satisfied the Acceptance Test requirement of Paragraph
          3(f)(i) of Appendix B; and subject to the sanction provision of
          Paragraph D.l. of Appendix D.

     3.   The Company shall not be required to pay any additional capacity
          payment for any additional power supplied by the Seller, either at the
          Company's or the Seller's request.

     4.   A failure by the Seller to provide the required firm capacity to the
          Company shall result in the reduction in the capacity payment due to
          the Seller from the Company in accordance with Paragraph D of Appendix
          D of this Contract. The Company shall not have any obligation to pay
          capacity payments to the Seller for periods in excess of twenty-four
          hours in which the Seller is unable to fulfill its obligations under
          the Contract, including but not limited to (i) circumstances which are
          subject to Paragraph 15 of this Contract relating to Force Majeure
          without fault, or (ii) for periods in which the Seller does not
          fulfill its obligations under Paragraph 3 of Appendix B of this
          Contract due to the Seller's "default," as such term is defined in
          Appendix E of this Contract.

     5.   If the Seller does not satisfy its firm capacity obligations as
          described in Paragraph 3 of Appendix B and Paragraph C of this
          Appendix D of this Contract, it shall pay sanctions as described in
          Paragraph D of this Appendix D.

C.   PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

     1.   The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Seller's generating
          facility is expected to meet the following minimum standards for
          satisfactory day-to-day performance during each contract year: (i) an
          On-peak facility Availability (excluding the four-week annual
          maintenance period and downtime due to a catastrophic equipment
          failure) of 95 percent or better; (ii) not more than 6 Plant Trips per
          year; and (iii) a forced outage rate of 5 percent or less.



                                                                         PAGE 17


                                                         ATTACHMENT D
                                                         FIRM CAPACITY AMENDMENT
                                                         PAGE 4 OF 5

     2.   The "On-peak Availability" of the Seller's Facility (in percent) is to
          be computed by adding the total Energy Under Company's Dispatch
          Subject to a legally Enforceable Obligation available from the
          Seller's unit during the contract year, multiplying the total by 100,
          and dividing by the product of 4,718 on-peak hours per 48 week year
          (4,732 for leap years) times the firm capacity obligation (prorated on
          a daily basis, if necessary).

     3.   "Catastrophic Equipment Failure" means a sudden, unexpected failure of
          a major piece of equipment which (i) substantially reduces or
          eliminates the capability of the Seller's Facility to produce power,
          (ii) is beyond the reasonable control of the Seller and could not have
          been prevented by the exercise of due diligence by the Seller and,
          (iii) despite the exercise of all reasonable efforts, requires more
          than sixty (60) days to repair.

     4.   "Plant Trip" means the sudden and immediate removal of the Seller's
          Facility from service as a result of an immediate
          mechanical/electrical/hydraulic control system trip or operator
          initiated trip/shutdown which requires the Company to take immediate
          steps to place an unscheduled generator on line to make up for the
          loss of output of the Seller's Facility; provided, however, that a
          Plant Trip shall not include: (i) any such removal which occurs within
          forty-eight (48) hours of the time at which the Seller's Facility is
          restarted following an outage; (ii) trips caused or initiated by the
          Company; or (iii) trips occurring during periods when the Seller has
          continued to furnish capacity to the Company at the request of the
          Company's Production Manager after the Seller has notified the
          Company's Production Manager that the Seller's Facility is likely to
          trip.

     5.   The "Forced Outage Rate" of the Seller's Facility during a contract
          year is to be computed by totaling the average megawatts unavailable
          for service due to forced outages or deratings on an hourly basis,
          multiplying the total by 100, and dividing by the product of 8,760
          hours per year times the weighted average of the Seller's firm
          capacity obligation (prorated on a daily basis, if necessary).



                                                                         PAGE 18

D.   SANCTIONS

     1.   The capacity payment is to be made on the basis of the full
          availability of the Seller's firm capacity obligation. When the
          Seller's full firm capacity obligation is not available, the Seller
          shall pay the Company $0.0339 per on-peak hour for each kilowatt of
          deficiency based on annual capacity payments of $4 million and 4,718
          on-peak hours in a year. During the period from July 1, 1990 to
          December 31, 1990, the sanction provided for in this paragraph shall
          not exceed the capacity payments provided for in Section B.2. of this
          Appendix D on a monthly basis.

     2.   For each contract year in which the On-peak Availability of the
          Seller's Facility is less than 95 percent, the Seller will pay $10,000
          to the Company for each full percentage point of the shortfall unless
          the shortfall is due to a catastrophic equipment failure.

     3.   For each Plant Trip in excess of 6 per contract year, the Seller shall
          pay $10,000 to the Company.

     4.   The Company shall have the right to offset any payment due from the
          Seller under this Paragraph against any payments due to the Seller.

     5.   If the Seller does not deliver 12,500 kw of Firm Capacity as provided
          by Paragraph 3 of Appendix B, by December 31, 1990, the Seller shall
          pay the Company $0.0339 per on-peak hour for each kilowatt deficiency
          until the Seller satisfies the Acceptance Test provided in Paragraph
          3(f)(i) for 12,500 kw of Firm Capacity; if the Seller does not deliver
          25,000 kw of Firm Capacity as provided by Paragraph 3 of Appendix B,
          by March 1, 1991, the Seller shall pay the Company $0.0339 per on-peak
          hour for each kilowatt deficiency until the Seller satisfies the
          Acceptance Test provided in Paragraph 3(f)(i) for 25,000 kw of Firm
          Capacity.

     6.   Each party may exercise whatever legal or equitable remedies may be
          available to enforce the obligations of this Contract in the event of
          a default by the other party.



                                                                         PAGE 19

15.  Force Majeure

     (a)  If either party shall be wholly or partially prevented from performing
          any of its obligations under this Contract by reason of an event of
          force majeure reasonably beyond its exclusive control and not
          attributable to its neglect, then and in any such event, such party
          shall be excused from whatever performance is prevented by such event
          to the extent so prevented, and such party shall not be liable for any
          damage or loss resulting therefrom. Events of force majeure shall
          include but not be limited to the following: accidents, action or
          inaction of any governmental agency (including the inability to obtain
          permits or authorization), lightning, rain, earthquake, wind,
          wind-blown water, riots, fire, flood, invasion, insurrection, lava
          flow or volcanic activity, tidal wave, civil commotion, the order of
          any court, judge or civil authority, war, and any act of God or the
          public enemy; provided that inadequate or extreme reservoir pressures,
          temperature, or the presence of foreign substances therein shall not
          be considered to be an event of force majeure except as provided in
          Subsection (c) of this paragraph.

     (b)  The party claiming an event of force majeure shall give prompt written
          notice of such event to the other party. In addition, such party shall
          use reasonable diligence, to the extent practicable, to limit the
          impact of such event on the performance of its obligations under this
          Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Subsection 15(b) shall
          not excuse any payment obligation that has theretofore accrued under
          this Contract.

     (c)  Inadequate or extreme reservoir pressures, temperatures, or the
          presence of foreign substances therein, shall not be an event of force
          majeure unless the Seller has taken reasonable actions to avoid or
          mitigate any adverse impact on the Seller's ability to meet its
          obligations under this Contract.

     (d)  The parties agree that this Force Majeure provision is intended to
          provide for reasonable time, not to exceed 12 months, to complete
          construction after the Geothermal Resource Permit is issued by the
          County of Hawaii and the Authority to Construct is issued by the State
          Department of Health.
