and one-half percent (10.5%) of the Net Electric Energy and associated Project Capacity and Credits to another qualified utility purchaser, provided that Seller is reasonably satisfied with the creditworthiness of the qualified utility
purchaser or that the qualified utility purchaser provides security to Seller from a Qualified Issuer in an amount equal to at least fifty (50%) of the estimated annual gross revenues to be received by Seller from qualified utility purchaser.
Any such assignment shall be made pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement agreed to by Seller, Buyer and qualified utility purchaser.

9.2 Change in Control. Any Change of Control of Seller, whether voluntary or by operation of law, shall require the prior
written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No consent of Buyer shall be required, however, to any Change of Control resulting from (i) transactions among Affiliates of Seller, or (ii) any exercise by any party
providing financing or other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Project, Seller or Seller’s Affiliates, of its rights and remedies under the financing documents. Without limiting Buyer’s obligation to consider reasonably
any other circumstances, Buyer shall be required to give its consent to any Change of Control of Seller if at least one of the ultimate parent entities of Seller following the Change of Control, (i) enjoys creditworthiness not worse than Seller
or CIRI, prior to the Change of Control and (ii) has demonstrable experience in the power generation industry not less than Seller or CIRI. 
 9.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

ARTICLE 10 
 FORCE MAJEURE; INDEMNITY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 
 10.1
Force Majeure 
 (a) The term “Force Majeure,” as used in this Agreement, means causes or
events beyond the reasonable control of, and without the fault or negligence of the Party (including, in the case of Buyer, Transmission System Owner and Transmission Provider) claiming Force Majeure, including, acts of God, sudden actions of the
elements such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards, volcanic activity, or tornadoes; severe weather; complete failure of the AIA-FI Transmission System, high winds of sufficient strength or duration to materially damage a Project Turbine or
significantly impair its operation for a period of time longer than normally encountered in similar businesses under comparable circumstances; lightning; ice storms; sabotage; vandalism; terrorism; war; riots; fire; explosion; blockades;
insurrection; strike; slow down or labor disruptions (even if such difficulties could be resolved by conceding to the demands of a labor group); actions or inactions by any Governmental Entity taken after the date hereof but only if such actions, or
inactions prevent or delay performance of a Party hereunder; inability, despite due diligence, to obtain any licenses, permits, or approvals required by any Governmental Entity; and the issuance of any order, injunction, or other legal or equitable
decree interfering with the performance of a Party’s obligations hereunder. 
 (b) The term Force Majeure does not include
(i) any acts or omissions of any third party, including, without limitation, any vendor, materialman, customer, or supplier of Seller, unless such acts or omissions are themselves excused by reason of Force Majeure or are in and of themselves
events of Force Majeure; (ii) any full or partial curtailment in the electric output of the Project that is caused by or arises from (1) a mechanical or equipment breakdown unless such mechanical or equipment breakdown is caused by an
event of Force Majeure, or (2) conditions attributable to normal wear and tear; or (iii) changes in market conditions that affect the cost of Buyer’s or Seller’s supplies, or that affect demand or price for any of Buyer’s or
Seller’s products. 

  
 22 

 10.2 Applicability of Force Majeure. 

(a) Neither Party shall be responsible or liable for any delay or failure in its performance under this Agreement, nor shall any delay,
failure, or other occurrence or event become an Event of Default, to the extent such delay, failure, occurrence or event is substantially caused by conditions or events of Force Majeure, provided that: 

(i) the non-performing Party gives the other Party prompt written notice describing the particulars of the occurrence of the Force
Majeure; 
 (ii) the suspension of performance is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is required by the Force
Majeure; 
 (iii) the non-performing Party proceeds with reasonable diligence to remedy its inability to perform and provides
progress reports to the other Party describing actions taken to end the Force Majeure; and 
 (iv) when the non-performing
Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, such Party shall give the other Party written notice to that effect. 
 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the existence of a condition or event of Force Majeure shall not relieve the Parties of their obligations under this Agreement (including,
but not limited to, payment obligations) to the extent that performance of such obligations is not precluded by the condition or event of Force Majeure. 
 10.3 Limitations on Effect of Force Majeure. In the event that any delay or failure of performance caused by conditions or events of Force Majeure continues for an uninterrupted
period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days from its occurrence or inception, as noticed pursuant to Section 10.2(a), the Party not claiming Force Majeure may, at any time following the end of such three hundred sixty-five
(365) day period, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the affected Party, without further obligation by either Party except as to costs and balances incurred prior to the effective date of such termination. The Party not claiming
Force Majeure may, but shall not be obligated to, extend such three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, for such additional time as it, at its sole discretion, deems appropriate, if the affected Party is exercising due diligence in its efforts
to cure the conditions or events of Force Majeure. 
 10.4 Indemnification. 

(a) To the extent permitted by Law, each Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates, and each of their
respective officers, directors, agents, employees, members, managers, shareholders, partners and other equity holders from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses), suits and proceedings of any nature whatsoever for personal injury, death or 

  
 23 

 
property damage to the other Party’s property or facilities, or personal injury, death or property damage to third parties (collectively “Liabilities”) to the extent caused
by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying Party in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (b) Without limiting the foregoing and to the extent permitted by Law, (i) Buyer shall indemnify Seller for all Liabilities related to Net Electric Energy and associated Credits, once sold and
delivered to Buyer at the Delivery Point, and (ii) Seller shall indemnify Buyer for all Liabilities related to Net Electric Energy and associated Credits prior to its delivery by Seller at the Delivery Point, except, in the case of either
(i) or (ii) to the extent such injury or damage is attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by the Party (or any of its Affiliates) seeking indemnification hereunder. 

(c) If a claim is made against a Party entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.4 (the “Indemnified
Party”) that could reasonably be expected to result in Liabilities, or if an Indemnified Party discovers any inquiry or investigation that the Indemnified Party believes may involve or expect to lead to Liabilities, the Indemnified Party
shall promptly give the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim, inquiry or investigation, provided that any delay in providing notice will not serve as a bar to indemnification hereunder except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against or avoid claims has been prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly (and in any event no later than 30 days after receiving notice from the Indemnified Party)
decide whether to assume control of the defense of the claim, and if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to control such defense, then the Indemnified Party may assume control of the defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party as expenses are incurred in connection with such defense. The Party that is defending the claim (the “Defending Party”) will use counsel that is reasonably approved in writing by the other Party. The Party that is
not controlling the defense (the “Non-Defending Party”) may have its own counsel present at its own cost to monitor proceedings and will cooperate as reasonably requested with the Defending Party in defending the claim. The
Defending Party shall not settle or compromise any claim without the prior written consent of the Non-Defending Party. 

10.5 Limitations of Remedies, Liability and Damages. The Parties agree that the remedies and measures of damages
provided in this Agreement satisfy the essential purposes hereof. IF NO MEASURE OF DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDY IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, A PARTY’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY, WHICH DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES SHALL BE
THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE INJURED PARTY, AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR DAMAGES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS
OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE ALLOWED OR PROVIDED BY STATUTE, IN TORT, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY PROVISION OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT THAT ANY DAMAGES SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE VALID NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING PROVISION, AND EXCEPTING SUCH TYPES OF DAMAGES THAT MAY BE DUE BY A PARTY TO A THIRD PARTY FOR AN OBLIGATION THE NATURE OF WHICH THE OWING PARTY IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 

  
 24 

 10.6 Duty to Mitigate. Each Party agrees that it has a duty to mitigate
damages and covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any damages that it may incur as a result of the other Party’s default or non-performance of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 11 
 CONFIDENTIALITY 
 11.1 Confidentiality. The
Parties agree that the Parties’ proposals, communications, negotiations and information exchanged prior to the Effective Date concerning this Agreement, and technical and other information regarding the Project provided by Seller to Buyer
marked, or otherwise clearly communicated to the receiving Party as, “Confidential,” constitute the “Confidential Business Information” of the disclosing Party. Seller and Buyer each agree to hold such Confidential
Business Information wholly confidential. Such Confidential Business Information may only be used by the Parties for purposes related to the approval, administration or enforcement of this Agreement, and Seller’s financing and construction of
the Project, or its obtaining any other financial accommodation, and for no other purposes. Other information about the Project may be disclosed upon the mutual consent of the Parties. 

11.2 Disclosure. Each Party agrees not to disclose Confidential Business Information of the other Party to any other
Person (other than its Affiliates, counsel, consultants, lenders, partners, members, employees, officers and directors, and then only to Persons subject to similar confidentiality restrictions as those set forth herein), without the prior written
consent of the other Party, provided that either Party may disclose Confidential Business Information, if such disclosure is required by Law, including without limitation, pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency or in order to
enforce this Agreement or to seek approval of this Agreement. In the event a Party is required by Law or by a Governmental Entity to disclose Confidential Business Information, such Party, prior to such disclosure, shall provide reasonable advance
notice to the other Party of the time and scope of the intended disclosure in order to permit such disclosing Party the opportunity to obtain a protective order or otherwise seek to prevent or limit the scope or otherwise impose conditions upon such
disclosure. 
 11.3 Injunctive Relief. Each Party agrees that violation of the terms of this
Article 11 constitutes irreparable harm to the other, and that the harmed Party may seek any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity, including but not limited to injunctive relief. 

ARTICLE 12 
 SECURITY 
 12.1 Security. 

(a) Seller’s Security. Seller shall provide Seller’s Security as follows: On or before January 1, 2012, Seller
shall provide to Buyer Seller’s Security in an amount equal to the Required Security Amount. On or before January 1, 2013, Seller shall increase Seller’s Security to the Required Security Amount required as of such date, and shall
thereafter maintain such Security at such Required Security Amount until the end of the Term. 

  
 25 

 (b) Buyer’s Security. If at any time during the Term, Buyer’s credit rating
(corporate or long-term senior unsecured debt) is below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 by Moody’s, Buyer shall provide to Seller, within five (5) Business Days of any such determination, Buyer’s Security in the
Required Security Amount and shall maintain such Security at the Required Security Amount until the end of the Term, so long as Buyer’s credit rating is below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 by Moody’s. If and when
Buyer’s credit rating is equal to or above BBB- by Standard & Poor’s and Baa3 by Moody’s, Buyer shall not be required to post Buyer’s Security and Seller shall promptly release any Buyer’s Security held by Seller to
Buyer. 
 (c) In addition to any other remedy available to it, a Party (“Obligee”) may, before or after
termination of this Agreement or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, draw on the Security in such amounts as are necessary to recover amounts owing to it by the other Party (“Obligor”) pursuant to
this Agreement, including any damages due to Obligee and/or any amounts for which Obligee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Obligee may, in its sole discretion, draw all or any part of such amounts due to it from any form of Security to the
extent available to Obligee pursuant to this Section 12.1, and from all such forms and in any sequence that Obligee may select. Subject to Section 10.5, following a draw on all or any part of the Security pursuant to this
Section 12.1, Obligor shall, within thirty (30) days following such draw, replenish or reinstate the Security to the full Required Security Amount. 
 (d) Security shall be maintained at the expense of the Party providing such Security. A Party may change the form of Security provided by it to the other Party hereunder at any time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. If at any time hereunder any Person providing Security on behalf of a Party hereunder fails to meet the requirements of a Qualified Issuer, is subject to the commencement of involuntary or voluntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding (whether under any present or future statute, law, or regulation), or takes any action to terminate, cancel or repudiate such
Security (each, a “Material Event”), then the Party providing such Security shall replace the Security with other Security from a Qualified Issuer and otherwise meeting the requirements of this Agreement no later than thirty
(30) days after the occurrence of such Material Event. 
 (e) Promptly following the end of the Term and the satisfaction
of all of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement, or upon the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 10.3, each Party shall release any remaining Security held by it
to the other Party. 
 ARTICLE 13 
 NOTICES AND ADDRESSES FOR PAYMENT 
 13.1
Notices. All notices, requests, statements or invoices shall be made to the addresses set forth in, and all payments shall be made in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided for in Exhibit D hereto. Any
notice, request, consent, or other communication required or authorized under this Agreement to be given by one Party to the other Party shall be in writing. It shall be either be hand delivered or mailed first-class or by overnight delivery,
postage prepaid, to the other Party. If mailed, the notice request, consent or 

  
 26 

 
other communication shall be simultaneously sent by facsimile or other electronic means. Any such notice, request, consent, or other communication shall be deemed to have been received by the
Close of the Business Day on which it was hand delivered or transmitted electronically (unless hand delivered or transmitted after such close in which case it shall be deemed received as of the Close of the next Business Day). Real-time or routine
communications concerning Project operations shall be exempt from this Section. A Party’s address or addressee to which notices or invoices shall be delivered, or amounts paid, may be changed from time to time by such Party by notice served as
hereinabove provided. 
 ARTICLE 14 
 DISPUTES 
 14.1
Negotiations. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement (a “Dispute”), within ten (10) days following the delivered date of a written request by either Party (a “Dispute
Notice”), (i) each Party shall appoint a representative (individually, a “Party Representative,” and together, the “Parties’ Representatives”), and (ii) the Parties’ Representatives
shall meet, negotiate and attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute quickly, informally and inexpensively. In the event the Parties’ Representatives cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after commencement of negotiations,
within ten (10) days following any request by either Party at any time thereafter, senior officers of the Parties with authority to irrevocably bind the Party to a resolution of the Dispute shall meet to negotiate in good faith to resolve the
Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within fourteen (14) days following a meeting of the senior officers, the Disputes shall be submitted for non-binding mediation. Mediation of any Dispute shall be initiated by either
Party by making a written demand to the other Party. The Parties shall, within (10) days after delivery of such written demand for mediation, appoint a mediator who is (i) a reputable attorney or jurist with ample experience in utility
law, and (ii) is in no way affiliated or had material business dealings with either Party or an Affiliate thereof. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator within such ten (10) day period, a mediator having the qualifications set
forth above shall be appointed by the applicable service provided by the Alaska State Bar Association. Such mediation shall occur within thirty (30) days after the mediator has been appointed and shall occur at a mutually acceptable location in
Anchorage, Alaska. The costs of such mediation services shall be shared equally, but each Party shall bear the cost of its own travel expenses and attorneys’ fees. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within fourteen (14) days
following the commencement of mediation, each Party may pursue such rights as may be available to such Party at law or equity. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if no Dispute Notice has been issued within twenty-four
(24) Months following the occurrence of all events and the existence of all circumstances giving rise to the Dispute (regardless of the knowledge or potential knowledge of either Party of such events and circumstances), the Dispute and all
claims related thereto shall be deemed waived and the aggrieved Party shall thereafter be barred from proceeding thereon. 

14.2 Settlement Discussions. The Parties agree that no statements of position or offers of settlement made in the
course of the Dispute process described in this Article 14 will be offered into evidence for any purpose in any litigation or arbitration between the Parties, nor will any such statements or offers of settlement be used in any manner
against either Party in any such litigation or arbitration. Further, no such statements or offers of settlement shall constitute 

  
 27 

 
an admission or waiver of rights by either Party in connection with any such litigation or arbitration. At the request of either Party, any such statements and offers of settlement, and all
copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to the Party providing the same. 
 14.3 Preliminary Injunctive
Relief. Nothing in this Article 14 shall preclude, or be construed to preclude, the resort by either Party to a court of competent jurisdiction solely for the purposes of securing a temporary or preliminary injunction to preserve
the status quo or avoid irreparable harm pending negotiation or mediation pursuant to this Article 14. 
 14.4
Confidential Proceedings. The fact that either Party has invoked the provisions of this Article 14, the mediation proceedings and related communications, and the efforts of the mediator shall all be considered
Confidential Business Information subject to Article 11, and the mediator shall make no disclosure of any confidential information that would not be permitted by a Party under Article 11. 

ARTICLE 15 
 MISCELLANEOUS

Each Party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party’s efforts to secure additional grants or incentives related to the Project. 
 15.2 Forward Contract. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a “forward contract” within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code. 

15.3 Entirety. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and
supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposal, solicitation, terms and conditions, or representations of the Parties affecting the same subject matter. 
 15.4 Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Alaska, without regard to principles of conflicts
of law. All disputes arising out of this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Anchorage, Alaska, and each Party consents the personal jurisdiction of these courts. 

15.5 Non-Waiver. No consent or waiver, either expressed or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by
any other Party in the performance by such other Party of the obligations thereof under this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such other Party of the same or
any other obligations of such other Party under this Agreement. The failure of either Party to this Agreement to enforce or insist upon compliance with or strict performance of any of the terms or conditions hereof, or to take advantage of any of
its rights hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment of any such terms, conditions or rights, but the same shall be and remain at all times in full force and effect. 

15.6 Headings; Attachments. The headings used for the sections and articles herein are for convenience and reference
purposes only, and shall in no way affect the meaning or 

  
 28 

 
interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement. Any and all exhibits and attachments referred to in this Agreement are, by such reference, incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all
purposes. 
 15.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is an
original and all of which constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or electronic signature to this Agreement shall be deemed an original and binding upon the party against whom enforcement is sought. 

15.8 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is found illegal or unenforceable, such provision will
be deemed restated in accordance with Law, to reflect as nearly as possible the original intention of the Parties, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue unaffected in full force and effect. 

15.9 Other. This Agreement (i) shall not be altered or amended except by an instrument in writing executed by
authorized officers of the Parties; (ii) does not confer any rights upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; and (iii) may be performed by the Parties through the use of agents and
subcontractors (but such use shall not relieve a Party of any of its obligations hereunder). The Parties shall execute and deliver all documents and perform all further acts that may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of this
Agreement. This Agreement was prepared jointly by the Parties, each Party having had access to advice of its own counsel, and not by either Party to the exclusion of the other Party, and shall not be construed against one Party or the other as a
result of the manner in which this Agreement was prepared, negotiated or executed. 
 15.10 Insurance.

 (a) Seller, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain the insurance on and with respect to the Project set forth in
Exhibit B hereto. Prior to mobilization at the Project Site, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages required under this Agreement. Buyer shall have the right to inspect any insurance
policies upon five (5) Business Day’s notice, including original copies of such policies. 
 (b) If requested by
Buyer, Seller shall, within ten (10) days following such request, deliver to Buyer evidence of insurance held by its subcontractors. 
 15.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any other
person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third person to either Party, nor shall any provision give any third
party any right of subrogation or actions over or against either Party. This Agreement is not intended to and does not create any third party rights. 
 15.12 Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to (a) create an association, joint venture or partnership between the Parties or impose
any partnership obligation or liability on either Party, (b) create any agency relationship between the Parties or impose any fiduciary duty of any kind on either Party, (c) create a trust or impose

  
 29 

 
any trust obligations of any kind on either Party, or (d) constitute a lease of property of any kind. Other than as expressly set forth herein, neither Party shall have any right, power or
authority to enter into any agreement or undertaking for, or act on behalf of, or act as or be an agent or representative of, or otherwise bind, the other Party.

Article 6. 

MINIMUM RIGHTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS AND USERS TO USE INTERTIE FACILITIES 

 

	Section 6.1	Minimum Intertie Transfer Capability Rights (“MITCR”) 

 The established MITCR rights as well as the MITCR methodology for allocation of Capacity on the Intertie from the Original Agreement are temporarily retained in this Agreement and shall be administered by
the IMC during the period from the Effective Date until July 1, 2013. The MITCR methodology is set forth in this Article 6. The IMC shall implement a new methodology for allocation of Capacity before July 1, 2013, which shall comply with
the provisions of Article 16, OPEN ACCESS PRINCIPLES. 
  

	 	6.1.1	Right of First Refusal. For so long as the IMC has not amended or replaced the MITCR methodology, Participants shall have the right of first refusal to an
allocated portion of the maximum Intertie transfer capability, as determined pursuant to Section 6.2, Determination of MITCR. Intertie Capacity not scheduled or used by the Participants for the purpose of transmitting or receiving Energy
over the Intertie shall be allotted to the Participants in the manner provided in Section 6.2.2, Unused MITCR. 

  

	 	6.1.2	Allocation of Transfer Capability. The Intertie transfer capability shall be shared by the Participants in the Northern and Southern Groups in the manner
described in Section 6.2, Determination of MITCR. If a Participant is not using part of its MITCR in either direction, other Participants shall have the right to use that unused part to make transfers across the Intertie, either as a
purchase or a sale of Capacity and/or Energy, pursuant to a procedure adopted by the IMC. 

  

	 	6.1.3	Emergency Operations. During emergencies when it is necessary to use the Intertie to transfer Energy to maintain system integrity, a Participant’s MITCR

  
 Page 16 of 53 – Amended
and Restated Alaska Intertie Agreement 

	 	
will be adjusted by the IMC as required pursuant to Intertie operating policies and procedures and Prudent Utility Practices. To the extent practical, such adjustments shall be shared
proportionally among all Participants in the affected Group(s). 

  

	Section 6.2	Determination of MITCR 

  

	 	6.2.1	Methodology. For so long as the IMC has not amended or replaced the MITCR methodology, the IMC shall determine the MITCR of each Participant each year prior to
the final approval of the fiscal year budget, or when a new Participant becomes a Party to this Agreement. The MITCR of each Participant shall be calculated as follows: 

MITCR shall be determined each year based on the average of the three most recent Annual System Demands submitted by each of the
Participants under Section 7.2.1, Participant and User Estimates, Participant Historical Data. Temporary reductions of the maximum Intertie transfer capability may be required for periods due to maintenance, safety, or equipment failure.
MITCR shall be determined separately for the Participants of the Northern Group and of the Southern Group. A Participant’s MITCR shall be the ratio of its average Annual System Demand to the sum of the average Annual System Demands of its
respective group (Northern or Southern) multiplied by the maximum Intertie transfer capability set forth in Section 6.3, Maximum Intertie Transfer Capability. 

 

	 	6.2.2	Unused MITCR. MITCR not used by a Participant shall be available to the other Participants in the same group (i.e., Northern Group or Southern Group) in
the same proportion as remaining Participants’ MITCR is to the total MITCR of the remaining Participants in the group that are allocating the unused MITCR. If no Participant chooses to use the unused MITCR, the IMC may make it available to any
User subject to the requirements set forth in Section 8.6.7, Maximum Capability and Capacity Allocation. Unless otherwise agreed upon, a Participant whose unused MITCR is being used by other Participant(s) or User(s) shall have the right
to its full entitlement immediately upon notification to the Participant(s) or User(s) using its MITCR. 

  

	 	6.2.3	Right to Contractually Transfer MITCR. A Participant has the right to transfer on a contractual basis all or part of its MITCR to other Participants or Users
with reasonable written notice to all Participants. A Participant whose unused MITCR is being used by another Participant or User under this Section 6.2.3 shall be paid by the using Participant or User a prorated amount of the Intertie Capacity
Rate determined by the following formula: 

 P = ICR/12 x CP x HR/THR where: 

P – is the monthly payment due to the Participant whose MITCR, or portion thereof, is being used by another Participant or User;

  
 Page 17 of 53 – Amended
and Restated Alaska Intertie Agreement 

 ICR/12 – is the relevant monthly Intertie Capacity Rate as defined in
Section 7.2.6, Capacity Rate, of this Agreement; 
 CP – is the average amount of Capacity in kilowatts which
is used by another Participant; 
 HR – is the number of hours in the month during which the unused MITCR was scheduled by
another Participant or User; and 
 THR – is the total number of hours in the relevant month. 

 

	 	6.2.4	IMC Authority to Change Capacity Allocation Methodology. The IMC shall have the authority to amend or replace the Intertie Capacity allocation methodology with a
different methodology. Any amendment or replacement of the Intertie Capacity allocation methodology shall require the affirmative vote of a minimum of 75 percent of the members of the IMC constituting greater than 66 percent of the total Annual
System Demand of all members of the IMC, including the affirmative vote of AEA. In amending or replacing the Intertie allocation methodology, the IMC shall employ Open Access principles to the extent practicable. 

 

	 	6.2.5	New State Power Projects. The IMC shall amend or replace the Intertie Capacity allocation methodology if requested by AEA to facilitate the transfer of power
from a new state-owned generation project, provided, that the then-existing rights of Participants and Users for firm service shall be preserved. 

  

	Section 6.3	Maximum Intertie Transfer Capability 

 The
maximum transfer capability of the Intertie is 78 MW, net of losses, unless and until it is changed pursuant to this section. No provision of this Agreement shall prohibit the IMC from temporarily reducing the maximum Intertie transfer capability
for maintenance, equipment failure, safety considerations, or other reasonable causes in compliance with Prudent Utility Practices. Such temporary reductions of maximum Intertie transfer capability shall proportionally reduce the rights of each
Participant and User, for that temporary period. The IMC, upon the affirmative vote of a minimum of 75 percent of the members of the IMC constituting greater than 66 percent of the total Annual System Demand of all members of the IMC, including the
affirmative vote of AEA, shall have the authority to change the maximum Intertie transfer capability. 

  
 Page 18 of 53 – Amended
and Restated Alaska Intertie Agreement 

	Section 6.4	Improvements to the Intertie 

  

	 	6.4.1	Development of Improvements. Modifications, additions, deletions and changes to the Intertie (“Improvements”) shall be designed and constructed so as
not to reduce the Intertie’s reliability. All Improvements shall be implemented in accordance with Prudent Utility Practice and, with commercially reasonable consideration of the costs and benefits of such improvements.

 6.4.1.1 Except as provided in Section 6.4.1.2, the affirmative vote of a minimum of 75 percent of the
members of the IMC constituting greater than 66 percent of the total Annual System Demand of all members of the IMC, including the affirmative vote of AEA, shall be required to approve any Improvements. The design and specifications, including
engineering studies for proposed Improvements to the Intertie shall be submitted to the IMC for review and approval. The IMC may require additional studies. Approval of the design and specifications of Improvements shall require the affirmative vote
of a minimum of 75 percent of the members of the IMC constituting greater than 66 percent of the total Annual System Demand of all members of the IMC, including the affirmative vote of AEA. 

6.4.1.2 AEA shall have the right to make Improvements to the Intertie, including taps to provide electrical services at locations that
AEA deems beneficial and reasonable. Costs related to Improvements covered by this Section 6.4.1.2 will not be deemed to be Intertie Costs unless such Improvements are of direct benefit to the Participants and/or Users as determined in advance
by the IMC under Section 6.4.3, Responsibility for Cost of Improvements. The design for such Improvements shall be submitted to the IMC for review and comment. The comments of the IMC shall be incorporated into the design of the
Improvements as they relate to maintaining the Intertie’s reliability. 
 6.4.1.3 The IMC shall not unreasonably delay the
implementation of any Improvements provided for under Section 6.4, Improvements to the Intertie. 
  

	 	6.4.2	Requests for Improvements. Participants and Users, individually or otherwise, shall have the right to request the IMC to make Improvements.

  
 Page 19 of 53 – Amended
and Restated Alaska Intertie Agreement 

 Each request shall include a detailed written explanation of the requested Improvement and
demonstrate its compliance with the requirements of Section 6.4.1, Development of Improvements. 
  

	 	6.4.3	Responsibility for Cost of Improvements. The cost of Improvements may be apportioned among the requesting Participants and Users pursuant to a written agreement
and may be adjusted to include other sources of funding. If there is no such written agreement, an Improvement shall be made at the expense of the requesting Participant(s), User(s), and/or AEA (AEA only if the Improvement is undertaken pursuant to
Section 6.4.1.2) unless the IMC determines prior to performing the Improvement that the Improvement directly benefits other Participants or Users, or may provide direct benefit to other Participants or Users in the future, in which case the
cost of the requested Improvements shall be deemed Intertie Costs. The IMC may also, but shall not be required to, determine that the cost of an Improvement shall be born only by the group of directly benefitted Participant(s) or User(s) if some
will not be directly benefitted. The IMC shall have the right to consider the cause or need for any Improvements when making its determination of cost responsibility. The IMC shall also determine prior to performing the Improvement whether the cost
of such Improvements shall be recovered in the Intertie Energy Rate or in the Intertie Capacity Rate. AEA shall be the owner of all Improvements without regard to the sources of funding. The determination and setting of the responsibility for
payment of costs associated with an Improvement and any allocation of recovery between the Intertie Energy Rate and the Intertie Capacity Rate shall require the affirmative vote of a minimum of 75 percent of the members of the IMC constituting
greater than 66 percent of the total Annual System Demand of all members of the IMC, including the affirmative vote of AEA. 

  

	 	6.4.4	Right to Make Improvements – Required Work. AEA shall have the right to require Improvements to the Intertie as provided in Section 8.8, AEA’s
Ability to Perform Required Work. 

  

	 	6.4.5	Notice. The IMC shall give reasonable advanced notice to all Participants before approving any Improvements as provided in this Article 6.

  

	Section 6.5	Additional Project Taps 

 Terms and
conditions applicable to new taps and interconnections for new projects shall be subject to, and shall be handled in accordance with, the rules, Reliability Standards, and procedures in effect at the time the tap or interconnection is constructed
and as they may be amended from time to time. This Section shall also apply to proposed temporary taps or interconnections.

 Page 38 of 53 – Amended
and Restated Alaska Intertie Agreement 

	 	14.1.2	Compensation for Losses. The Participant or User supplying Capacity and Energy shall also provide power to compensate for losses which occur from the transfer.
Such compensating power shall be provided at the time of the transfer unless otherwise agreed by the affected Participants or Users. 

  

	 	14.1.3	Schedules. Transfer schedules shall include losses associated with such transfers. When transfers reduce losses in a Participant’s system which is not a
part of the Intertie, the losses in that system caused by the transfer shall be considered zero. 

  

	Section 14.2	Intertie Transmission Loss Compensation 

Losses occurring due to Energy transfers shall be made up by in-kind deliveries of Energy and scheduled accordingly. All Energy usage that occurs in
Intertie facilities within a Control Area will be allocated and charged to the operation of the Intertie in that Control Area. In each month, entities utilizing the Intertie will be allocated losses based on their percentage share of the Energy
transferred in their respective Control Area. If no Energy is transferred, losses will be allocated according to MITCR shares. 

Article 15. 

RIGHTS OF USERS 
 The
rights and responsibilities of a User shall be set out in a User Agreement adopted by the IMC pursuant to Section 8.6.2, Intertie User Agreements. Non-Participant Users shall not be directly responsible for the management, operation,
maintenance or improvement of the Intertie, but shall have the same rights, obligations, and responsibilities as a Participant with respect to compliance with operating policies and procedures, any applicable Reliability Standards and the provisions
of Section 8.7, Payment Obligation Unimpaired and Article 20, INDEMNITY. 
 Article 16. 

OPEN ACCESS PRINCIPLES 
  

	Section 16.1	Definition 

 “Open Access” means
that all potential Users of the Alaska Intertie shall be provided access to transmission service on the Alaska Intertie under common terms and conditions that are just and reasonable and not unjustly discriminatory, subject to a priority reservation
of Capacity for power supply contracts with AEA projects, and equal access to Intertie system information the IMC has deemed critical for all potential Users. 
  

	Section 16.2	Purpose 

 The policies and procedures for
the operation of the Intertie shall make use of Open Access principles where practicable. 

  
 Page 39 of 53 – Amended
and Restated Alaska Intertie Agreement 

	Section 16.3	Implementation of Capacity Allocation Methodology 

 The IMC shall use the process and principles in this Section 16.3 as guidance when developing a proposed allocation methodology for Intertie Capacity. 

 

	 	16.3.1	New Methodology. The IMC shall develop and implement a methodology for the allocation of Intertie Capacity, approved by AEA pursuant to Sections 6.2.4 IMC
Authority to Change Capacity Allocation Methodology, and 8.6.7 Maximum Capability and Capacity Allocation, before July 1, 2013. The methodology shall use and incorporate Open Access and other principles set forth in this Article.

  

	 	16.3.2	Statutory Conditions. The allocation of Intertie Capacity shall comply with statutory conditions, including that the allocation provide a method by which
municipal electric, rural electric, cooperative electric, or private electric and regional electric authorities, or other persons authorized by law to engage in the distribution of electricity may secure a reasonable share of available Intertie
Capacity (i.e., United States Army). 

  

	 	16.3.3	Priority for AEA Contracts. Participants or Users with contracts for power from a facility owned by AEA shall have a priority capacity reservation on the
Intertie sufficient to accommodate the transfer of that contracted power throughout the term of the power supply contract with AEA. This priority shall be subject to rights of Participants and Users with firm contracts so long as the Participant or
User materially satisfies its related obligations. Continued service under firm contracts will be guaranteed irrespective of whether another AEA-owned project is developed or additional transmission capacity is made available by AEA or another
entity. In the event that additional transmission capacity is made available, however, the IMC shall have the right to supply transmission service to those Participants or Users by means of transmission paths other than the currently-existing
Intertie so long as there is no degradation in the quality or amount of transmission capacity provided. 

  

	 	16.3.4	Alternative Allocation of Intertie Capacity. If the IMC has not developed and implemented a new methodology for the allocation of Intertie Capacity, approved by
AEA, on or before July 1, 2013, then the MITCR allocation processes under Article 6 shall continue but in an expanded format. Absent an approved new methodology, after July 1, 2013, and notwithstanding the requirements of Section 4.2,
New Participant, any User or potential User shall be entitled to become a “Participant” under and for purposes of Article 6 by (a) giving twenty-four (24) months written notice to AEA and the Participants of its intention
to become a Participant under Article 6, and (b) executing a User Agreement, if one has not already been executed. Upon becoming a Participant under this section (referred to as a “Section 16.3.4 Participant) the entity shall obtain full
rights to MITCR allocations under Article 6, MINIMUM RIGHTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS AND USERS TO USE INTERTIE FACILITIES. 

  
 Page 40 of 53 – Amended
and Restated Alaska Intertie Agreement 

 16.3.4.1 For purposes of calculating MITCR allocations under Section 16.3.4 and
Article 6 for a User eligible to become a Participant only under Section 16.3.4 and that sells wholesale power to an electric utility, the number of “kilowatts-hours in any clock hour, attributable to Energy required during such hour for
supply of Energy to a system’s consumers,” as that phrase is used in the definition of “System Demand,” shall include wholesale power sold to an electric utility, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the “Section 16.3.4
Participant.” Wholesale power sold to a Participant and included in the calculation of a “Section 16.3.4 Participant’s” MITCR may not be included in the calculation of the receiving Participant’s MITCR. 

 

	 	16.3.5	Federal Acquisition Regulations. A User Agreement with an organization that is required to follow the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), may differ from the
standard User Agreement in order to accommodate obligations to follow the FAR so long as the entity required to follow the FAR has provided the IMC with reasonable assurance that its financial obligations have been or will be satisfied.

  

	Section 16.4	Public Process 

 The IMC shall publish its
initial proposed allocation methodology for Intertie Capacity and request public comment no later than eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The IMC shall consider the public comments before finalizing an Intertie
Capacity allocation methodology. 
  

	Section 16.5	Availability of Information 

 The IMC
shall use a transparent approach to: (i) making Intertie system information available to all Users; (ii) allocating Capacity on the Intertie; (iii) planning for Improvements, planned outages, or increases in Intertie Capacity;
(iv) developing the types of transmission service and the setting of the appropriate rate for each type (including ancillary services should it deem the provision of ancillary services appropriate); and (v) budgeting. 

 

	Section 16.6	Review of Methodology 

 The IMC shall
request comments on the Capacity allocation methodology in effect once every three years following implementation of the new allocation methodology developed pursuant to Section 16.3, Implementation of Capacity Allocation Methodology.

 Article 17. 
 BILLING AND PAYMENTS 
  

	Section 17.1	Billing 

 Participants and User shall be
invoiced monthly for their respective share of Intertie Costs, normally not later than fifteen (15) days after the end of the calendar month to which the bills apply. Bills shall be due and payable within fifteen (15) days from the date
the bills are postmarked or hand-delivered. Interest on any unpaid amount from the date due until the date payment is received shall accrue at the annual legal rate under Alaska law for post-judgment interest, or pro rata fraction thereof.
Interest collected pursuant to this section shall be credited to the IMC. 
  

	Section 17.2	Billing Disputes 

 If a Participant or
User disputes the charges on an invoice, the Participant or User shall nevertheless pay the full amount when due and payable and give notification in writing, within ninety (90) days of the date the bill is rendered, to the AEA and IMC stating
the grounds on which charges are disputed and the amount in dispute. If settlement of the dispute results in a refund, the refund shall include interest at the annual legal rate under Alaska law for post-judgment interest, or pro rata
fraction thereof, from the date of overpayment to the date of refund. 
  

	Section 17.3	Payment of Sanctions 

 Any payments
related to sanctions shall be administered as provided in any Reliability Standards adopted by the IMC. 
 Article 18.

 INSURANCE AND LIABILITY 
  

	Section 18.1	Insurance

	Section 18.2	Types of Insurance 

 The Intertie
insurance coverage and limits shall be reviewed by the IMC yearly and may be adjusted with the affirmative vote of a minimum of 75 percent of the members of the IMC constituting greater than 66 percent of the total Annual System Demand of all
members of the IMC, including the affirmative vote of AEA. The agreed coverage must be provided by each Participant to cover those operations of the Participant performed under this Agreement. The Alaska State Risk Management department may also
review the coverage and limits, and any required changes to established coverage and limits shall be adopted. 
  

	 	18.2.1	Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Each Participant shall provide and maintain, for all employees of the Participant engaged in work under this Agreement,
workers’ compensation insurance as required by AS 23.30.045, as it may be amended or replaced, or other Alaska or federal statue or regulation. The Participant is responsible for ensuring that any of its subcontractors who directly or
indirectly provide services under this Agreement maintain workers’ compensation insurance to the extent required by law. The workers’ compensation insurance policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the other Participants.
Any Participant who is self-insured hereby waives subrogation in favor of the other Participants. 

  

	 	18.2.2	Comprehensive General Liability Insurance. Each Participant shall purchase and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount not less than the
limits approved by the IMC. The other Participants shall be included as additional insureds on insurance required in this Agreement and shall not by their inclusion be responsible to the insurance carrier for payment of premiums therefor. These
insurance policies must also contain a cross liability or severability of interest endorsement. 

  

	Section 18.3	Other Insurance Coverage Requirements 

  

	 	18.3.1	Participants’ Cost Responsibility. Each Participant will bear the cost of the required insurance. Insurance required to be maintained under this Agreement
may be maintained as part of any other policy or policies of the Participant so long as the coverage of such policy or policies is substantially the same as if such coverage were maintained under a separate policy. 

 

	 	18.3.2	Users’ Insurance Requirements. The IMC may set minimum requirements for Users to be included in any User Agreement for Intertie service.

  

	 	18.3.3	Coverage and Certificates. These policies must provide that any cancellation, non-renewal, or material change be upon not less than thirty (30) days notice
to all named insureds. Each Participant must provide the AEA and IMC with evidence of insurance. Insurance companies or self-insurers shown on the certificate of insurance must have financial ratings acceptable to the AEA. Failure to furnish
satisfactory evidence of insurance or lapse of the policy is a material breach of this Agreement.

 UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES 

 

	Section 22.1	Limited Excuse of Performance. 

 A
Participant will not be in default in performance of any obligation hereunder, other than the obligation to make payments as provided in this Agreement, if failure of performance is due to uncontrollable forces and without the fault or negligence of
that Participant. Strikes, lockouts, and other labor disturbances are considered uncontrollable forces and nothing in this Agreement will require a Participant to settle a labor dispute against its better judgment. 

 

	Section 22.2	Suspension of Performance. 

 If a
Participant, by reason of an uncontrollable force, is rendered unable, wholly or in part, to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than its obligations to pay money), then upon that Participant giving notice and the particulars of the
uncontrollable force, its obligation to perform will be suspended during the continuance of, but only to the extent of, any inability so caused, but for no longer period thereof, and the effects of such cause shall, so far as possible, be remedied
with all reasonable dispatch; provided, however, that the settlement of labor disputes shall be considered wholly within the discretion of the Participant involved. The affected Participant will not be responsible for its delay in performance under
this Agreement to the extent caused by an uncontrollable force, nor will such uncontrollable force give rise to claim for damages or constitute default. 
 Article 23. 
 WAIVERS 

Any waiver at any time by a Participant or the IMC of its rights with respect to a default under this Agreement, or with respect to any other matter
arising in connection with this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any subsequent default or matter. Any delay short of the statutory period of limitations in asserting or enforcing any right shall not be deemed a waiver of such
