 4. Claims for Indemnification; Matters Involving Third Parties. 
 4.1 Notice. If any Coral Indemnified Party or Avista Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of any matter that
may give rise to a Claim for indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”) against any of the Avista Entities or Coral Entities, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), then the
Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of each such Claim, stating the nature of such Claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated amount, if practicable, of the loss related thereto. Delay on the
part of the Indemnified Party in providing notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced or damaged by such delay. 
 4.2 Acceptance or Rejection. If Indemnifying Party does not accept or affirmatively rejects such Indemnification Claim within thirty
(30) days of the date the Indemnified Party provides written notice of the Indemnification Claim to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement. If the
Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but objects that it is obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to recover promptly from the Indemnifying Party the lesser amount,
without prejudice to the Indemnified Party’s Claim for the difference. 
 4.3 Third Party Claims. If the Indemnification Claim
results from a Third-Party Claim or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim or proceeding with counsel of their choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so
long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party
from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences, to the fullest extent required under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Indemnification Claim,
(ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnification Claim and fulfill its
indemnification obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Indemnification Claim actively and diligently. 
 4.4 Indemnified Party’s Rights. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Agreement, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain
separate co-counsel, at its sole cost and expense, and participate in the defense of the Indemnification Claim and (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 4.5 Failure to Defend. In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to conduct the defense of an Indemnification Claim that results from a Third-Party Claim or proceeding in accordance with this Agreement, (i) the Indemnified Party
may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim or proceeding giving rise to the Indemnification Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party
need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party

 EXECUTION TEXT 
  

 
in connection with the same), (ii) the Indemnifying Party will have the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the
costs of defending against the Indemnification Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,
arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Indemnification Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Agreement. 
 5.
Determination of Adverse Consequences. The Parties shall take into account the time value/cost of money (using the Applicable Rate as the discount rate) and also any net Tax benefits/costs in determining Adverse Consequences for purposes of
this Agreement. 
 6. Claims that Related to Periods Both Before and After the Effective Time. The Parties have attempted to allocate
their responsibility and indemnification obligations in respect of the Effective Time. To the extent that any Claims otherwise covered by this Agreement relate to both the period on and prior to the Effective Time and the period after the Effective
Time, the Indemnification Claim resulting therefrom and the indemnification obligations in respect thereof shall be allocated to the Avista Entities in proportion to the period prior to the Effective Time and to the Coral Entities in proportion to
the period after the Effective Time. If the proportion of indemnification obligations cannot be determined between the Parties in good faith, as set forth in this Section 6, such determination shall be submitted to the trier of such Claim which
determination shall be final and binding as to the Parties. 
 7. Limitations on Liability. 
 7.1 Liability Threshold. Except as provided in the following sentence, and subject to Section 7.3 and 7.4, no Party shall be liable
under this Agreement until the aggregate for all Indemnification Claims made by all Coral Indemnified Parties or Avista Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, under this Agreement is in excess of $150,000 and then only for such excess over the
$150,000 aggregate threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing liability threshold, the Avista Entities’ indemnification obligations for the Title and Authority Representations, Tax Representations and as set forth in Sections 2.2 and
2.3, above, and the Coral Entities’ indemnification obligations for the Coral Authority Representations and Coral Tax Representation and as set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3, above, shall be not be subject to such liability

Authority Representations and the Coral Entities’ indemnification obligations for the Coral Authority Representations shall not exceed the Purchase Price; and

 10.10 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of
this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by

significance. If any party has breached any covenant contained in this Agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has

 Exhibit 10.2 
 GUARANTY 
 This Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”) dated effective as of
June 30, 2007, is entered into by Avista Capital, Inc. (“Guarantor”), a Washington corporation, in favor of Coral Energy Holding, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Coral Energy Resources, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership,
Coral Power, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and Coral Energy Canada Inc., an Alberta corporation (each being a “Coral Entity” and collectively, the “Coral Entities”). 
 Recitals: 
 A. Guarantor
desires that the Coral Entities enter into the contracts and agreements listed on Attachment A hereto with affiliates of Guarantor including Avista Energy, Inc., Avista Energy Canada, Ltd. and Avista Turbine Power, Inc. (each being a
“Guaranteed Party” and collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”), as such contracts and agreements listed on Attachment A may be amended, supplemented, renewed, or extended, collectively, from time to time, the
“Contracts”; and 
 B. The Guaranteed Parties are subsidiaries or affiliates of Guarantor and Guarantor will directly or indirectly
benefit from the Contracts to be entered into between one or more of the Coral Entities and one or more of the Guaranteed Parties; and 
 C.
The Guaranteed Parties and the Coral Entities are parties to an Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith with respect to certain obligations between such parties in respect of the Contracts (the “Indemnification Agreement”).

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Coral Entities entering into the Contracts with Guaranteed Parties, Guarantor hereby covenants and
agrees as follows: 
 1. Guaranty. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the
timely performance and payment when due of the obligations of Guaranteed Parties (the “Obligations”) to the Coral Entities, as applicable, under the Indemnification Agreement with respect to the Contracts. To the extent that a Guaranteed
Party shall fail to perform or pay any Obligation, Guarantor shall promptly cause the performance or pay to the applicable Coral Entity the amount due in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in the Indemnification
Agreement. This Guaranty shall constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Guarantor shall also be liable for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of such Coral Entity’s external counsel incurred in any successful
effort to collect or enforce any of the obligations under this Guaranty. 
 2. Limitations. Guarantor’s performance hereunder shall be
limited to monetary payments arising out of the Obligations (even if such payments are deemed to be damages) and in no event shall Guarantor be subject hereunder to consequential, exemplary, equitable, loss of profits, punitive, or any other
damages, except to the extent specifically provided in the Indemnification Agreement to be due from a Guaranteed Party. Guarantor waives any and all defenses, rights and benefits Guarantor might assert to avoid or limit liability on Guarantor’s
obligations arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or liquidation of Guaranteed Party. The aggregate amount of Guarantor’s liability under or in respect of this Guaranty shall in no event exceed Thirty Million Dollars
(U.S.$30,000,000), in the aggregate, plus attorney’s fees and other expenses specified under Section 1 hereto and shall be calculated by including any amounts paid by any Guaranteed Party under the Indemnification Agreement, or collected
on any collateral securing Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, against such Thirty Million Dollar cap on Guarantor’s liability. 

 3. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until April 30, 2011. No
termination shall affect, release or discharge Guarantor’s liability with respect to any Obligations existing or arising prior to the effective date of termination. 
 4. Nature of Guaranty. The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to any Obligation shall not be affected by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, release, or impairment of
value of any collateral for such Obligations. The Coral Entities shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations owing to it in the event that a Guaranteed Party becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar
proceeding, and the failure of a Coral Entity to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to a Coral Entity in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned in the
event that a Guaranteed Party becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding, Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder in respect to such Obligations as if such payment had not been made. 
 5. Subrogation. Guarantor waives its right to be subrogated to the rights of the Coral Entities with respect to any Obligations paid or performed by
Guarantor until all Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid to the Coral Entities or otherwise terminated, subject to no rescission or right of return, and Guarantor has fully and indefeasibly satisfied all of Guarantor’s obligations
under this Guaranty. 
 6. Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives any circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety
or guarantor, including but not limited to (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty; (b) presentment and demand concerning the liabilities of Guarantor; (c) notice of any dishonor or default by, or disputes with, a Guaranteed Party;
and (d) any right to require that any action or proceeding be brought against a Guaranteed Party or any other person, or to require that a Coral Entity seek enforcement of any performance against a Guaranteed Party or any other person, prior to
any action against Guarantor under the terms hereof. Guarantor consents to the renewal, compromise, extension, acceleration, or other modification of the terms of a Contract, without in any way releasing or discharging Guarantor from its obligations
hereunder. Except as to applicable statute of limitations, the time for bringing any claim under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement and duration of this Guaranty as provided in Section 3 above, no delay of a Coral Entity in the exercise
of, or failure to exercise, any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights, a waiver of any other rights, or a release of Guarantor from any obligations hereunder. 
 7. REPRESENTATIONS. Guarantor is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Washington. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms (except that enforcement may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 8 Notice. Any payment demand, notice, correspondence or other document to be given hereunder by any party to another (herein collectively called
“Notice”) shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or by facsimile, to the addresses set forth below. Notice given by personal delivery or mail shall be

effective upon actual receipt, or, if receipt is refused or rejected, upon attempted delivery. Notice given by facsimile shall be effective upon actual
receipt if received during the recipient’s normal business hours, or at the beginning of the recipient’s next business day after receipt if not received during the recipient’s normal business hours. All Notices by facsimile shall be
confirmed promptly after transmission in writing by certified mail or personal delivery. Any party may change any address to which Notice is to be given to it by giving Notice as provided above of such change of address. 
 9. Miscellaneous. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE IN ALL RESPECTS GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS EXCEPT SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. No term or provision of this Guaranty shall be amended or modified except in a writing signed by Guarantor and each of the Coral
Entities. A party may assign its rights and obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent of the Coral Entities, in the case of Guarantor, and Guarantor, in the case of any of the Coral Entities, and any attempted assignment without such
prior written consent shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Coral Entities, their successors and
assigns. This Guaranty and the Indemnification Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between Guarantor and the Coral Entities, and supersedes all prior guaranties issued by Guarantor in connection with the Contracts.
