Agreement for Extension of
"1996 EKLUTNA HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT TRANSITION PLAN"
by and among
THE MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE d/b/a MUNICIPAL LIGHT & POWER;
CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC.; and
MATANUSKA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC.
The parties to this Agreement are the Eklutna Purchasers as defined in the 1996
Eklutna Hydroelectric Project Transition Plan (Transition Plan). The Eklutna
Purchasers recognize that common interests exist regarding the ownership,
operation, and maintenance of the Eklutna Project. The Eklutna Purchasers hereby
extend the Transition Plan as modified by this Agreement.
The Eklutna Purchasers further recognize that obligations of the Eklutna
Purchasers under the terms of the Alaska Power Administration Asset Sale and
Termination Act, as well as obligations of the Alaska Power Administration and
successor agencies, continue beyond the Transaction Date, and that the execution
of this Agreement in no way relieves the Alaska Power Administration nor any
Purchaser of such continuing obligations.
All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning given them
in the Transition Plan (including exhibits).
Therefore, the Parties agree to extend the Transition Plan as follows:
THIS Agreement for the Extension of the Transition Plan incorporates by
reference the following documents and all of the rights, obligations,
requirements, and provisions therein:
The 1996 Transition Plan, consisting of thirteen Sections
contained on ten pages; incorporating therein, specifically:
Exhibit A, consisting of 33 pages; Exhibit B, consisting of
5 pages; Exhibit C, consisting of 12 pages; Exhibit D,
consisting of 25 pages; and, Exhibit E, consisting of 9
pages.
Eklutna Transition Plan Extension Agreement Page 1 of 5
THE Parties further agree to the following modifications with regard to the 1996
Transition Plan by this Agreement:
1. The Transition Plan will not expire upon completion of the tasks
specified therein. However, the arrangements and timetable for transfer
of operations, maintenance, and power marketing, as well as operation,
maintenance, and administration of the Project will no longer require
consultation with APA, nor will office space and access be provided for
an APA real estate person after the Transaction Date. (Reference:
Transition Plan Section 2 and Section 5)
2. The transfer of data and documents to the Eklutna Purchasers after the
Transaction Date shall occur no later than January 1, 1998. (Reference:
Transition Plan Section 7)
3. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the Transaction Date, but
in any event no later than November 28, 1997.
4. The division of responsibilities among the Eklutna Purchasers after the
Transaction Date will be as described in Exhibit E, Paragraph (A)(2).
5. The sixth sentence of Paragraph (A) (3) of Exhibit E is modified to
delete reference to an "Ownership and Operating Agreement," and as so
modified reads as follows: "Decisions of the EOC will be by double
majority (a vote of two of the three Eklutna Purchasers whose shares
total at least 51% of the Eklutna Project shares) unless otherwise agreed
to by the Eklutna Purchasers."
THE parties further agree to the following in regard to the ownership,
operation, and maintenance of the Eklutna Project:
1. An Eklutna Purchaser's interest in the Eklutna Project will not be
modified or changed by any assignment or transfer, except upon consent
of each Eklutna Purchaser. An Eklutna Purchaser's interest may be
transferred or assigned among the Eklutna Purchasers in proportion to
their respective Project interest or by such other allocation as to
which each Eklutna Purchaser agrees. Transfer or assignment of an
Eklutna Purchaser's interest to entities other than an Eklutna
Purchaser will be subject to a first right of refusal by the remaining
Eklutna Purchasers, with such right to be exercised within 180 days of
receipt of written notification. If no remaining Eklutna Purchaser
elects to acquire such interest, the transferring Eklutna Purchaser
shall indemnify the remaining Eklutna Purchasers for all expenditures
which would not otherwise be required, but for which the Eklutna
Project becomes obligated in meeting licensing requirements and
regulations which were exempted for the original Eklutna Purchasers
under the Alaska Power Administration Asset Sale and Termination Act.
2. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to any successor
or assign of an Eklutna Purchaser, whether such succession or
assignment results from security assignment, merger, acquisition, or
any other disposition by the Eklutna Purchaser of its Eklutna Project
share.

CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC.; MATANUSKA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION,
INC.; AND MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE, MUNICIPAL LIGHT & POWER, Contract
No. DE-SC85-95AP 1 0042 shall continue in effect until such time as
revised or terminated by action of the EOC. Should any part of these
Exhibits A through D conflict with the Transition Plan as modified by
this Agreement, the Transition Plan shall prevail.

CLOSING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this 2nd day of October, 1997, by and between
the United States of America, acting through the Alaska Power Administration, a
unit of the United States Department of Energy (hereafter "United States"), and
the Municipality of Anchorage, d/b/a Municipal Light and Power, Chugach Electric
Association, Inc., and Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. (hereafter
collectively "the Purchasers").
Recitals
WHEREAS, the Purchasers executed a Memorandum of Understanding on July
25, 1989, in which Agreement at Paragraph 2 they mutually declared their
respective proportionate shares of their undivided interest in the Eklutna
assets.
WHEREAS, on August 2, 1989, the United States and the Purchasers
entered into that particular contract entitled the Eklutna Purchase Agreement,
by which the United States agreed to sell and the Purchasers agreed to purchase
the Eklutna Hydroelectric Project, and its real property interests, fixtures,
equipment, personalty, contract and water rights, and other interests as
identified in that Agreement (hereafter "Eklutna Project").
WHEREAS, by enactment of the Alaska Power Administration Asset Sale and
Termination Act of 1995 (hereafter "the Sale Act), Public Law 104-58, the
Congress authorized the Secretary of Energy to sell the Eklutna Project to the
Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Sale Act and the Eklutna Purchase
Agreement.
WHEREAS, on May 28, 1996, the United States and the Purchasers adopted
the 1996 Eklutna Hydroelectric Project Transition Plan in accordance with the
terms of the Eklutna Purchase Agreement for the purpose of facilitating
arrangements for the transfer of ownership of the Eklutna
Closing Agreement
Page 1 of 12
Project to the Purchasers
WHEREAS, the United States and the Purchasers are prepared at this
time to complete the purchase and sale transaction contemplated by the Eklutna
Purchase Agreement, the Sale Act, and the 1996 Eklutna Hydroelectric Project
Transition Plan, -subject to certain continuing obligations as identified in
this Agreement.
Terms of Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, the United States and the Purchasers agree as follows:
1. Payment by Purchasers, The United States acknowledges receipt of the
following sums paid by the Purchasers in complete and final satisfaction of
the purchase-price payment requirement as provided by Section 5 of the
Eklutna Purchase Agreement, Amendment No. 3 to that Agreement and Exhibit B
to that Amendment:
Municipality of Anchorage, d/b/a ML&P 16/30 $3,174,933.
Chugach Electric Association, Inc. 9/30 $1,785,900.
Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. 5/30 $ 992,167.
------- ------------
Total Received: 30/30 $5,953,000
2. Instruments Delivered. The parties acknowledge that the United States
delivered on the date of this Agreement, and the Purchasers accepted on
that date, the instruments identified in Appendix A to this Agreement.
3. Remaining Federal Obligations Relating to Transfer of Eklutna Project
Interests to Purchasers. At the time of this Agreement, the United States
is unable to convey to the Purchasers the properties or interests in the
Eklutna Project identified in Appendix B to this Agreement. The United
States, acting through the United States Department of Energy, will
complete conveyance of
Closing Agreement
Page 2 of 12
the outstanding interests identified in Appendix B no later than June 1,
1998.For a period of 180 days after the date of this Agreement, the parties
reserve the right to further identify, by mutual agreement, instruments and
interests, if any, that should be added to Appendix B after closing and
will cooperate with one another in good faith in so doing.
4. Purchasers' Operational Arrangements. The requirements of Section 10.c of
the Eklutna Purchase Agreement regarding establishment of organizational,
functional and staffing arrangements for operations, maintenance and
Administration of the Eklutna Project are satisfied by that agreement
entitled 1996 Eklutna Hydroelectric Project Transition Plan, as modified by
that agreement entitled Agreement for Extension of 1996 Eklutna
Hydroelectric Project Transition Plan by and among the Municipality of
Anchorage, d/b/a Municipal Light & Power, Chugach Electric Association,
Inc., and Matanuska Electric Association, Inc, dated October 2, 1997, which
agreements are attached hereto as Appendix C.
5. Unresolved Matter. Notwithstanding the closing of the Eklutna Project sale
through this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that they have not resolved
the question of whether the United States is required to provide warranties
of title in real property conveyance and transfer instruments issued to the
Purchasers under the Sale Act and the Eklutna Purchase Agreement. The
United States and the Purchasers presently have differing positions
concerning this question. The warranty question is presently pending before
the Comptroller General, and an opinion from that official was not received
before closing of the Eklutna Project sale. Although the Comptroller
General's opinion will not be binding on the Purchasers, it will provide
guidance to the United States on the-unresolved question relating to
warranty obligations. By entering this Agreement, neither the United States
nor the Purchasers waive any position, right, claim or defense related to
the question of whether the
Closing Agreement
Page 3 of 12
United States must provide Warranties to the Purchasers in real
property transfer instruments.
6. Federal Obligations in Response to Real Property Title Defects. It is the
intent of the United States to convey to the Purchasers all right, title
and interest the United States has in the Eklutna Project. The parties
believe that the United States is conveying sufficient right, title or
interest to all real property identified in Appendix A in the Eklutna
Project as constructed and used by the United States. However, in the event
that the right, title or interest transferred by the United states was
insufficient, at the time of transfer, the following procedures shall be
employed to cure such insufficiencies:
a. If after the date of this Agreement, a third party initiates any
action (including without limitation an action for damages, to quiet
title, or for injunctive relief) challenging any title, interest,
license or right-of-way in or to real property identified in an
instrument delivered by the United States to the Purchasers pursuant
to the Eklutna Purchase Agreement and the Sale Act, the Purchasers
shall defend, and may settle, the action in good faith, and shall
provide notice of the action to the Secretary of Energy or his
successor.
b. If a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment or ruling on
the merits of a case, holding or otherwise establishing that the
title, interest license or right-of-way in or to real property was
insufficient on the date of transfer to provide the Purchasers with
the beneficial use, enjoyment and occupancy of the Eklutna Project as
constructed and transferred by the United States, then the United
States, in accordance with applicable law and subject to a prior
appropriation by Congress for that purpose, shall acquire, for
conveyance to the Eklutna Purchasers, the right, title or interest in
or to real property necessary to provide the Purchasers with
sufficient right, title or interest to allow for the beneficial use,
enjoyment and occupancy of the Eklutna Project. Alternatively, at the
Closing Agreement
Page 4 of 12
election of the Purchasers, they may acquire the necessary right,
title or interest and the United States,in accordance with applicable
laws and subject to a prior appropriation by Congress for that
purpose, shall reimburse the Purchasers for the costs of acquisition.
c. Before the Purchasers settle an action described in subparagraph a of
this paragraph 6, they shall notify the United States of their intent
to do so and tender the defense of the action to the United States. If
the United States accepts the tender, it shall defend the case to its
conclusion on the merits or settle the action on terms it deems
advisable. If the United States declines the tender, the Purchasers
shall be free to settle the action on whatever terms they deem
appropriate. If the Purchasers settle an action identified in the
preceding paragraph 6.b., then the United States, in compliance with
applicable laws and subject to an appropriation by the Congress for
that purpose, shall reimburse the Purchasers for the payment made in
settlement.
d. The United States, acting through the Department of Energy or its
successor, and the Purchasers may agree at any time that the right,
title, interest, license or right-of-way in or to real property
conveyed by an instrument identified in Appendix A to this Agreement
or conveyed pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Agreement is insufficient,
in which event the United States, in accordance applicable laws and
subject to a prior appropriation by the Congress for that purpose,
shall acquire the necessary interest and transfer it to the Purchasers
or reimburse the Purchasers for the costs of such acquisition.
e. In connection with the request for an appropriation to fund federal
obligations under this paragraph 6, the Purchasers shall petition the
Congress for reimbursement of their costs of acquiring property
interests or settling claims of insufficient interest. Nothing in this
Agreement shall limit the Purchasers' rights to seek an appropriation
for any purpose for which they might otherwise seek
Closing Agreement
Page 5 of 12
an appropriation. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Congress to make
any appropriations. In the event Congress fails to make an
appropriation, the United States has no duties to perform any work or
fund the cure of any insufficiencies. The Purchasers shall seek any
appropriation from Congress pursuant to this paragraph 6. The parties
reserve the right to seek judicial redress in a court of competent
jurisdiction.
f. In the event a court holds that a conveyance or transfer instrument
was ineffective to convey or transfer to the Purchasers the right to
operate the Eklutna Project, or any part thereof, and that the right,
title or interest purported to have been conveyed or transferred to
the Purchasers by the United States remains vested in the United
States, then the Secretary of Energy or his designee hereby grants to
the Purchasers, without the need for further action, a license to
enable the Purchasers to continue to operate the Eklutna Project. Such
license shall remain in effect until the United States is able to
convey or transfer the right, title or interest, the conveyance or
transfer of which was held to be ineffective pursuant to the original
instrument.
g. The United States' obligation to provide sufficient title extends only
to the Eklutna Project as constructed and transferred by the United
States. In the event that the Purchasers subsequently modify, improve
or otherwise change any portion of the Eklutna Project, the United
States is under no obligation to provide sufficient right, title, or
interest in real property for those modifications, improvements or
changes. Furthermore, in the event any right, title, or interest
becomes insufficient due to a modification, improvement or any other
change made to the Eklutna Project as originally constructed and
transferred, then this paragraph 6 shall become inapplicable.
7. Section 17(b) Easements. Pursuant to Section 10b(3) of the Eklutna Purchase
Agreement, the United States represents to the Purchasers that the
instruments identified in Appendix A to this
Closing Agreement
Page 6 of 12
Agreement provide the Purchasers with rights in easements reserved to
the United States under Section 17(b) of the Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act, 43 U.S.C. ss. 1616(b) which are sufficient for continued
operation, repair and replacement of Eklutna facilities.
8. No Merger. The doctrine of merger shall not apply (a) to the rights and
obligations of the parties under this Agreement, and (b) to the rights and
obligations of the parties specifically relating to the sufficiency of the
right, title or interest in real property transferred or to be transferred
in the Eklutna Project.
9. Judicial Remedies. Nothing in this Agreement or in the conveyance or
transfer instruments delivered by the United States to the Purchasers shall
deprive the parties of any judicial remedy to which they may otherwise be
entitled by contract or under law.
10. Correction of Errors, The parties shall cooperate with one another to
correct any typographical or inadvertent errors discovered in documents or
instruments issued under the Eklutna Purchase Agreement. Correction of such
documents may require substitution of a new instrument in a form suitable
for recordation.
11. Environmental Expenditures. Purchase orders E-97-035 E-97-036, E-97-037,
and E-97- 038, issued on March 11, 1997, shall terminate on June 30, 1998,
and no further requests for payment of environmental expenses will be
accepted after that date, subject to the Purchase Agreement and applicable
environmental law. Invoices submitted by the Purchasers before July 1, 1998
will be processed and paid.
12. Generator Rewind Contract, The United States will continue to administer
Contract DE- AC-85-95AP0043 (commonly known as the Generator Rewind
Contract) to a successful conclusion. The Purchasers agree to allow the
United States and the Contractor under the Generator Rewind
Closing Agreement
Page 7 of 12
Contract access to the facilities so that the United States and the
Contractor may complete work under the Contract.The Purchasers shall
provide an on-site facility to the Contractor and the United States, to
include office space, telephone, furniture, and the usual amenities. When
the Contractor completes performance, the Contractor will issue a warranty
for its work. The United States hereby assigns the Contractor's warranty to
the Purchasers, effective upon the United States' receipt of the warranty.
13. Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent to Closing. All conditions precedent
to transfer of the Eklutna Project to the Purchasers and to closing of the
Eklutna Project sale have been satisfied or are hereby waived.
14. Notice to Parties. Notices under this Agreement or the Eklutna Purchase
Agreement shall be given to the following persons:
