EXHIBIT B
AGREEMENT AMONG CO-TENANTS
THIS AGREEMENT AMONG CO-TENANTS ("Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the 13th day of December, 1990, by and among Zond Systems,
Inc., a California corporation ("'Zond"), Victory Garden Phase IV Partnership, a
California general partnership ("VG Partnership"), Sky River Partnership, a
California general partnership ("SR Partnership"), Zond Windsystem Partners,
Ltd. Series 85-A, a California limited partnership ("85-A"), Zond Windsystem
Partners, Ltd. Series 85-B, a California limited partnership ("85-B"), and
Helzel and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a California general partnership ("H&S") (each
individually a "Co-Tenant," and collectively, the "Co-Tenants").
RECITALS
A. Zond, H&S, 85-A, 85-B and VG Partnership (collectively,
the "Existing Project Owners") have constructed, and SR Partnership intends to
construct, wind turbine generators (the "Turbines") and related facilities for
the purpose of producing wind generated electricity on various parcels of real
property located in ▇▇▇▇ County, California. The Turbines and related facilities
owned and/or operated by the Existing Project Owners are referred to herein as
the "Existing Projects." The Turbines and related facilities to be owned and
operated by SR Partnership are referred to herein as the "New Project."
B. Currently, in the aggregate, the Existing Projects
transfer 80 MWs of electrical power generated by their respective Turbines to
Southern California Edison ("SCE") via a transmission grid interconnect located
at the SCE Zeewind substation in ▇▇▇▇ County, California (the "Zeewind
Substation").
C. SR Partnership and SCE are party to certain Wilderness
Power Purchase Contracts, each dated as of January 30, 1985, as amended (QFID
Nos. 6065, 6066 and 6067) (the "Wilderness PPCs"). Electricity generated by the
New Project will be sold to SCE pursuant to the terms of the Wilderness PPCs.
SCE has required, in connection with SCE's entering into certain amendments to
the Wilderness PPC's, that (i) electrical power generated by the New Project be
delivered to SCE via either the Antelope substation (the "Antelope Substation")
or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ substation (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Substation"), each located in Los
Angeles County, California, rather than at the Zeewind Substation and (ii) the
80 MWs of electrical power generated by the
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1966
Existing Projects be delivered to SCE at either the Antelope Substation or the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Substation, rather than at the Zeewind Substation. The Existing Projects
have no obligation to change their existing interconnection point except as set
forth herein.
D. SR Partnership is the holder of easements and other
rights (the "Transmission Line Easements") over certain real property located in
▇▇▇▇ County, California as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached
hereto (the "Property"). In order to comply with SCE's requirements regarding
the delivery of electrical power, SR Partnership, at its sole cost and expense,
is constructing a 230 kv overhead power transmission line, electrical power
substations, and related equipment (collectively, the "Power Transfer System"),
on the Property, through which the electrical power generated by the New Project
and the Existing Projects will be transferred first to the 230 kv transmission
line (the "Sagebrush Transmission Line") owned and operated by Sagebrush, a
California general partnership ("Sagebrush"), and ultimately to the SCE
transmission grid interconnect located either at the Antelope Substation or the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Substation. SR Partnership has engaged Zond to construct the Power
Transfer System (in its capacity as contractor for the Power Transfer System,
Zond is referred to herein as "Contractor").
E. SR Partnership and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ are party to that certain
Confidential Option Agreement to Purchase Shares With Respect to Sagebrush
Transmission Line (the "Option Agreement") dated as of January 17, 1990,
pursuant to which SR Partnership and its nominees have the option to acquire the
capital stock of certain general partners of Sagebrush and their associated
rights to use the Sagebrush Transmission Line.
F. SR Partnership has requested, and each of the other
Co-Tenants agrees, to interconnect an aggregate amount of 80 MWs of electric
power generating capacity to SCE at either the Antelope Substation or the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Substation, rather than at the Zeewind Substation, provided that (i) the
metering point for each of the Existing Projects shall continue at its existing
location, (ii) all costs of such interconnection and such other costs and
liabilities, both present and future, relating to the change in interconnection
and the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Power Transfer
System as are described herein shall be paid by SR Partnership, and (iii) the
Existing Projects shall not be subject to any additional line loss factor.
2
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1967
G. SR Partnership has requested, and each of the other
Co-Tenants agrees, that each of such other Co-Tenants shall, pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, acquire an interest in Sagebrush and the
Sagebrush Transmission Line by obtaining the capital stock of the Sagebrush
General Partner (as defined below) set forth opposite its name on Exhibit B
hereto, pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement; provided that SR
Partnership shall pay all costs of making such acquisition and such other costs
relating to Sagebrush as are herein described.
H. It is anticipated that the change in the point of
interconnection for the projects of the Existing Project Owners from the Zeewind
Substation to either the Antelope Substation or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Substation shall
result in an annual cost savings to the Existing Project Owners under the
Monolith Interconnection Facilities Agreement in an amount, in the aggregate,
equal to approximately $39,000.
I. In consideration of the Existing Project Owners agreeing
to the change in the point of interconnection for the Existing Projects from the
Zeewind Substation to the Antelope Substation or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Substation and as a
fulfillment of a condition of SCE for SR Partnership's ability to deliver power
under the Wilderness PPC's, each of the Co-Tenants will, on or before the
Effective Date (as defined in Section 12.1 herein) receive an undivided tenancy
in common interest in (i) the Transmission Line Easements, pursuant to the terms
of an assignment of easement by SR Partnership to the Co-Tenants, substantially
in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the "Assignment of Easement"), to be recorded
in the official records of ▇▇▇▇ County, California, and (ii) the Power Transfer
System pursuant to the terms of a ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, substantially in the form of
Exhibit D hereto (the "▇▇▇▇ of Sale"), and each Co-Tenant shall acquire an
interest in Sagebrush and the Sagebrush Transmission Line pursuant to the terms
of the Option Agreement.
J. This Agreement Among Co-Tenants is hereby intended to
govern the joint management, ownership, use, rights and duties of the Power
Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements by Zond, H&S, VG
Partnership, 85-A, 85-B, and SR Partnership during the term hereof. This
Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive agreement among the Co-Tenants with
respect to the Power Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements during
the term hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt
3
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1968
and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Zond, SR Partnership, VG
Partnership, 85-A, 85-B and H&S agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Tenancy-In-Common.
1.1 Ownership Interest and Capacity. The Co-Tenants hereby
acknowledge and agree that: (i) on and after the date on which the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale
is executed and delivered, they shall hold their respective undivided interests
in the Power Transfer System (each, an "Ownership Interest") as
tenants-in-common, (ii) on and after the date on which the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale is
executed and delivered, the percentage Ownership Interest of each of the
Co-Tenants in the Power Transfer System shall be as set forth on Exhibit B, and
(iii) on and after the Effective Date, each Co-Tenant shall be entitled to use
the capacity of the Power Transfer System in accordance with the capacity
allocated to each Co-Tenant (the "Co-Tenants Capacity") as set forth on Exhibit
B. In no event shall the Co-Tenant's Capacity of any Co-Tenant be less than 110%
of its Project Nameplate Rated Capacity, as set forth on Exhibit B. The full
capacity of the Power Transfer System to transmit electrical power is 400
megawatts, as the same may be increased from time to time (the "Full Capacity").
In the event that, SR Partnership, at its sole expense, increases the existing
Full Capacity of the Power Transfer System, such increase in capacity shall
belong to SR Partnership and each Co-Tenant Ownership Interest in the Power
Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements and SR Partnership's
Co-Tenant's Capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. As of the Effective Date,
the maximum capacity (the "Interconnected Capacity") which each Co-Tenant has
available for transmission through the Power Transfer System is as set forth on
Exhibit B hereto. The Interconnected Capacity of each Co-Tenant shall be revised
(and Manager shall circulate a revised Exhibit B), from time to time, to reflect
the maximum capacity which each Co-Tenant has available for transmission through
the Power Transfer System, but in no event shall any Co-Tenant's Interconnected
Capacity exceed its Co-Tenants Capacity.
1.2 Change in Ownership Interest and Capacity. The
Co-Tenants hereby acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that the right of any Co-Tenant (other than SR Partnership) to sell
electrical power to SCE under its applicable existing power purchase contract
with SCE has been terminated as of a certain date (the "Power Contract
Termination Date"), such
4
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1969
Co-Tenant shall automatically cease to be a party to this Agreement as of the
Power Contract Termination Date and such Co-Tenant's Ownership interest in the
Power Transfer System and its interest in the Transmission Line Easements shall
be automatically transferred to SR Partnership as of the Power Contract
Termination Date and such Co-Tenant shall promptly take any and all actions and
execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, certificates or other
documents, as are necessary to effectuate such transfer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such Co-Tenant (i) has the right to sell electrical power to SCE
under a new power purchase contract with SCE, and (ii) agrees that (a) it shall
bear (x) its pro rata share of the Power Transfer System Operating Costs and pay
to Manager (as defined below) such pro rata share in accordance with terms
substantially similar to Sections 4.4 and 4.5 herein, revised accordingly to
reflect the requirement that such Co-Tenant shall be paying such pro rata share,
and (y) all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities relating to the maintenance
operation and other costs related to its Sagebrush General Partner's interest in
Sagebrush and its use of the Sagebrush Transmission Line, and (b) all
indemnities provided by SR Partnership hereunder shall not run in favor of such
Co-Tenant and its Sagebrush General Partner for events arising after the Power
Contract Termination Date (collectively, the "Continuing Interest Conditions"),
then such Co-Tenant shall remain a party to this Agreement, subject to the
Continuing Interest Conditions, and such Co-Tenant shall retain its Ownership
Interest in the Power Transfer System and its interest in the Transmission Line
Easements.
2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date of this
Agreement and shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following
events:
(a) Sale or other disposition, by the Co-Tenants to a
third party, of all or substantially all of the assets constituting the Power
Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements; or
(b) Written agreement of all of the Co-Tenants.
3. Use and Sale of Power Transfer System.
3.1 Shared Use of Power Transfer System. Each Co-Tenant
shall be entitled to utilize the Power Transfer System for transmission of all
capacity generated by its project under its power purchase contract with SCE as
in existence on the date hereof (including capacity in excess of such project's
nameplate rated capacity);
5
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1970
provided, however, (i) if the Power Transfer System is being used to its Full
Capacity, then each Co-Tenant shall limit its use to its respective
Interconnected Capacity; and (ii) that if from time to time, the Power Transfer
System's Full Capacity is unable to accommodate the aggregate Co-Tenant use as a
result of temporary reductions in the capacity of the Power Transfer System, its
components or the Sagebrush Transmission Line, then each Co-Tenant shall
temporarily limit its use of each component of the Power Transfer System in
proportion to its Interconnected Capacity. In the event that curtailment occurs,
no project of any Co-Tenant shall have priority and all such projects shall be
curtailed in proportion to each Co-Tenant's Interconnected Capacity. Co-Tenants
shall be entitled to use the Power Transfer System without charge, and no other
person (other then Mortgagees or their transferees that agree to be bound by the
terms hereof) shall be permitted to use the Power Transfer System and no person
shall be charged for the transmission of electricity thereon.
3.2 Sale of Excess Capacity on Power Transfer System.
3.2.1 Sale of Excess Capacity. Notwithstanding the
last sentence of Section 3.1, in the event that SR Partnership has excess
capacity on the Power Transfer System, whether it exists as of the Effective
Date because SR Partnership's Co-Tenants Capacity exceeds its Interconnected
Capacity, or is created due to the termination of a Co-Tenant's right to sell
electrical power to SCE under its applicable existing power purchase contract
and such Co-Tenant's failure to agree to the Continuing Interest Conditions or
otherwise, SR Partnership, shall have the right to sell an undivided
tenancy-in-common interest in the Transmission Line Easements, the Power
Transfer System and the associated right to use such excess capacity (the
"Excess Capacity Interest") to a third party (the "Excess Capacity Buyer"). Such
sale of the Excess Capacity Interest will entail the assignment of the
applicable percentage of SR Partnership's Ownership Interest in the Power
Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements by SR Partnership to the
Excess Capacity Buyer. After such sale, the Co-Tenants Capacity and
Interconnected Capacity of the existing Co-Tenants (other than SR Partnership)
in the Power Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements shall remain
the same. The proceeds of such sale shall be paid to SR Partnership.
3.2.2 Excess Capacity Buyer Conditions. In order to
acquire the Excess Capacity Interest, the Excess Capacity Buyer must satisfy all
of the following conditions (the "Excess Capacity Buyer
6
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1971
Conditions"), to the satisfaction of SR Partnership (and with respect to (i) and
(ii) below only with the consent of the other Co-Tenants, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld): (i) the Excess Capacity Buyer must be a
Qualifying Facility (as defined in Title 18, Code of Federal Regulations,
Section 292.201 through 292.207, and any successor thereto), (ii) in no way
shall the sale of such Excess Capacity Interest interfere with, or diminish the
utility, value, economic life, safety, or availability of the Power Transfer
System and the rights of the existing Co-Tenants to use the Power Transfer
System, (iii) the Excess Capacity Buyer shall have delivered satisfactory
evidence of its right to transmit electrical power via the Sagebrush
Transmission Line, (iv) the Excess Capacity Buyer must agree to become a party
to this Agreement and be bound by the terms hereof (except that the Excess
Capacity Buyer shall bear (a) its pro rata share of the Power Transfer System
Operating Costs and pay to Manager such pro rata share in accordance with terms
substantially similar to Sections 4.4 and 4.5 herein, revised accordingly to
reflect the requirement that the Excess Capacity Buyer shall be paying such pro
rata share, and (b) all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities relating to (x)
the acquisition of a Sagebrush General Partner and such Sagebrush General
Partner's interest in Sagebrush and the Sagebrush Transmission Line and (y) the
maintenance, operating and other costs related to its use of the Sagebrush
Transmission Line); and (v) the Excess Capacity Buyer shall deliver to SR
Partnership an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to SR Partnership to
the effect that the acquisition of an interest in the Power Transfer System by
the Excess Capacity Buyer will not cause the Power Transfer System, or the
interest therein of any of the Co-Tenants, to lose status as a Qualifying
Facility or, if the Existing Projects or the New Project is a Qualifying
Facility that enjoys any or all of the exemptions or any similar exemptions
arising under state law set forth in 18 C.F.R. 292.601 and 18 C.F.R. 292.602 or
any successor thereto, to lose such exemptions or any similar exemptions arising
under state law.
3.2.3 Acknowledgment of Right to Sell Excess Capacity.
Each of the Existing Project Owners hereby acknowledges that SR Partnership has
a right to sell its Excess Capacity Interest to an Excess Capacity Buyer in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.2.
3.3 Sale of Power Transfer System. In the event that each
Co-Tenant's interconnection rights are not adversely impacted, the Power
Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements may be sold to a public
utility
7
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1972
and the proceeds of such sale shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.5
hereof. SR Partnership shall have the exclusive right to negotiate the terms of
such sale and each of the Co-Tenants shall take any and all actions and execute
and deliver any and all documents as are necessary in the reasonable judgment of
SR Partnership for the consummation of such sale.
3.4 Sale of Sagebrush Transmission Line. In the event that
the Sagebrush Transmission Line is sold, the Co-Tenants shall cause the
aggregate proceeds of such sale received by Sagebrush Partner Fifteen, Inc.
("SP15"), Sagebrush Partner Sixteen, Inc., Sagebrush Partner Seventeen, Inc.,
Sagebrush Partner Eighteen, Inc., Sagebrush Partner Nineteen, Inc. and Sagebrush
Partner Twenty, Inc. or any other general partner in Sagebrush the capital stock
of which is owned by a Co-Tenant (collectively, the "Sagebrush General Partners"
and individually, a "Sagebrush General Partner"), as applicable, to be
distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5 below.
3.5 Allocation of Proceeds. In the event that any sale
proceeds are received in accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4 by any Co-Tenant,
Manager or any Sagebrush General Partner, the net proceeds of such sale shall be
distributed as follows:
(i) first, to SR Partnership, in an amount
equal to (a) the costs paid by SR Partnership to construct the Power
Transfer System (including, the cost of acquiring the Transmission Line
Easements), in the event that the Power Transfer System and the
Transmission Line Easements shall be sold in accordance with Section
3.3, or (b) the amount paid by SR Partnership to acquire the stock of
the Sagebrush General Partners, $10,250,000, in the event that the
Sagebrush Transmission Line shall be sold in accordance with Section
3.4; and
(ii) second, (a) to the Co-Tenants, pro rata,
based on their Ownership Interests, in the event of a sale of the Power
Transfer System and the Transmission Line Easements, and (b) to the
Sagebrush General Partners, pro rata, in the event of a sale of the
Sagebrush Transmission Line.
For purposes of this Section, "net proceeds" of a sale shall equal gross
proceeds from such sale less the sum of (i) all reasonable transaction costs and
expenses relating to such sale (including, reasonable attorneys' fee) and (ii)
net taxes (i.e., after application of all investment tax credits, depreciation
and other tax benefits), payable by the party entitled to receive such gross
proceeds.

4. Expenses and Revenues.
4.1 Expenses and Liabilities.
4.1.1 Power Transfer System Operating Costs. SR
Partnership shall be responsible for all expenses, costs and liabilities
incurred on or after the date of this Agreement relating to the ownership,
construction, operation, repair and maintenance of the Property and the Power
Transfer System, except as set forth, in Section 4.1.2 below (the "Power
Transfer System Operating Costs"). SR Partnership shall pay the Power Transfer
System Operating Costs in accordance with Section 4.4 below prior to the time
when the failure to pay any such Power Transfer System Operating Costs shall
create a lien against the Power Transfer System or the Property, provided
however that SR Partnership and the Manager have the right to contest any Power
Transfer System Operating Costs in good faith and by appropriate proceedings,
provided further that in the event of any such contest, SR Partnership or the
Manager shall bond or provide such other security to protect the Power Transfer
System and the Property from such lien. Power Transfer System Operating Costs
shall include all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in the ownership,
construction, operation, repair, maintenance, replacement and removal of the
Power Transfer System, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in maintaining the
Property, including without limitation, any costs or expenses to be paid by the
terms of, or for the preservation of, the documents evidencing the Transmission
Line Easements, any costs of acquiring additional easement rights, if necessary,
to preserve the Co-Tenants' interest in the Property underlying the Power
Transfer System, taxes assessed against or allocable to the Power Transfer
System, premiums for casualty insurance thereon, capital expenditures, the costs
of utilities and other services necessary to the operation of the Power Transfer
System and salaries and benefits allocable to employees of Zond or SR
Partnership engaged in the operation, repair and maintenance thereof (but only
to the extent such employees are actually engaged in such activities for the
benefit of the Power Transfer System), but shall not include costs and expenses
set forth in Section 4.1.2 below.
4.1.2 Excluded Costs. Power Transfer System Operating
Costs shall not include costs incurred in order to increase or to upgrade the
capacity of the Power Transfer System or loan payments, depreciation allowance,
replacement reserves, income or franchise taxes of any Co-Tenant and payments on
any indebtedness secured by any Co-Tenant's interest in the Power Transfer
System (which
9
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1974
indebtedness shall be the responsibility of the Co-Tenant incurring such
indebtedness) or any consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost
profits or revenues incurred by any Existing Project Owner resulting from an
inability to deliver electrical power to SCE via the Power Transfer System or
the Sagebrush Transmission Line. Each Co-Tenant shall bear its share of excluded
costs under this Section, and shall be responsible for any such excluded costs
that it may incur. No Co-Tenant, individually, can bind the other Co-Tenants to
pay costs incurred in connection with upgrading the capacity of the Power
Transfer System without their prior written consent.
4.2 Revenues. This tenants-in-common structure is not
organized with the intention or expectation of making a cash profit from the
operation of the Power Transfer System but merely as an ownership form through
which the Co-Tenants can accomplish their purpose of owning, operating and
making available for the use of the Co-Tenants in proportion to each Co-Tenant's
Ownership Interest, the Power Transfer System. As the Power Transfer System is
intended merely to transmit electrical power generated by the Turbines of each
Co-Tenant, the Co-Tenants do not intend or expect that the Power Transfer System
by itself will generate any revenue. Except as provided in Sections 3.2 and 3.3,
in the event that revenue is received directly from the operation of the Power
Transfer System, it shall be paid to SR Partnership. At no time shall the Power
Transfer System be used by any person other than a Co-Tenant and at no time
shall there be a fee or charge for the use by a Co-Tenant of the Power Transfer
System. Subject to the rights of each Co-Tenant under Section 3.3 in the event
of the possible sale or other disposition of the Transmission Line Easements and
the Power Transfer System, the Co-Tenants do not expect to receive any material
amount of revenues.
4.3 Appointment of Manager. There shall, at all times during
the term hereof, be a manager of the Power Transfer System, which entity shall
be responsible for the management of the Power Transfer System (the "Manager").
The Co-Tenants hereby appoint Zond or any Zond affiliate as Manager of the Power
Transfer System. The appointed Manager shall remain the Manager until removed as
provided in Section 5.2 below.
4.4 Payment of Expenses and Liabilities. The Manager shall
calculate for each component of the Power Transfer System, the Power Transfer
System Operating Costs on a quarterly basis, within thirty (30) days after the
end of the quarter, and prepare a statement thereof for SR Partnership. Subject
to Section 4.5 below, SR Partnership
10
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1975
shall pay to the Manager, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
statement, the Power Transfer System Operating Costs then due and payable, as
shown on such statement. All sums not paid when due shall bear interest at the
lower of: (i) the maximum legal rate under California law and (ii) the
fluctuating per annum rate published in the Wall Street Journal (Western
Edition) as the "Prime Rate -- the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S.
money center commercial banks," or any successor rate thereto plus two percent.
Any change in such Prime Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on
the day such rate change is published in the Wall Street Journal.
4.5 Errors and Disputes. SR Partnership shall have the right
to contest the Power Transfer System Operating Costs shown on any statement
delivered pursuant to Section 4.4 above by notice thereof to the Manager within
ninety (90) days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter except with
respect to the last quarterly report of the calendar year, notice as to which
shall be given within sixty (60) days after receipt of such statement. In that
event, SR Partnership may conduct an independent audit of the Manager's records
regarding those costs upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice, during
business hours, at the Manager's principal place of business, and at SR
Partnership's sole cost and expense. In the event the audit establishes an
overcharge in excess of five percent (5%) of the Power Transfer System Operating
Costs, the Manager shall be responsible for the cost of the audit. Any other
disputes in payment or billing which the Manager and SR Partnership are unable
to resolve within thirty (30) days of the dispute arising shall be resolved by
arbitration as set forth below in Section 12.2.
4.6 Title Insurance. Prior to the Effective Date, SR
Partnership, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be delivered to (i)
each Co-Tenant an ALTA Owner's Policy (Form B-1970) of title insurance or a
commitment or binder therefor, in favor of such Co-Tenant, in form similar to
the policy of title insurance insuring SR Partnership's interest in the
Transmission Line Easements (the "SR Partnership Policy"), which shall contain
no additional exceptions or encumbrances not contained in the SR Partnership
Policy and shall contain all endorsements contained in this SR Partnership
Policy, in an amount equal to such Co-Tenant's Ownership Interest multiplied by
$8,180,634, the total value of the Transmission Line Easements, showing title to
the Co-Tenant's interest in the Transmission Line Easements, and such other
property interests as are governed by real property law vested in such
Co-Tenant, and (ii) the Mortgagee (as defined below) of
11
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1976
each Co-Tenant an ALTA Loan Policy (Form B-1970) of title insurance or a
commitment or binder therefor, in favor of such Mortgagee, in form similar to
the lender's policy of title insurance issued in favor of SR Partnership's
Mortgagee (the "SR Lender's Policy"), which shall contain no additional
exceptions or encumbrances not contained in the SR Lender's Policy and shall
contain all endorsements in the SR Lender's Policy, in an amount equal to the
lesser of: (a) the amount of the applicable Co-Tenant's obligation to such
Mortgagee and (b) the applicable Co-Tenant's Ownership Interest multiplied by
$8,180,634, the total value of the Transmission Line Easements, showing title to
the applicable Co-Tenant's interest in the Transmission Line Easements and such
other property interests as are governed by real property law vested in such
Co-Tenant and showing that the Mortgagee has a valid lien covering such
Co-Tenant's interest in the Transmission Line Easements, having the priority
required by Mortgagee's loan documents with such Co-Tenant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Co-Tenant acknowledges that in the event of a defect in title
for which the owner's title insurance policies of each Co-Tenant provide
coverage, each Co-Tenant will take reasonable steps to recover from the title
insurer under said policy and will apply the proceeds of any such recovery from
the title insurer to the correction of such defect by making such amounts
available to SR Partnership and Manager for such purpose.
4.7 Insurance Policies. Prior to the Effective Date, SR
Partnership and the Manager shall cause each Co-Tenant to be named as the loss
payee in respect of casualty loss insurance maintained by SR Partnership or the
Manager with respect to the Power Transfer System. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Co-Tenant hereby acknowledges that SR Partnership and the
Manager may use the proceeds of any casualty loss insurance to repair the Power
Transfer System.
5. Management.
5.1 Management Duties. It shall be the responsibility of the
Manager to perform or to cause to be performed reasonable and necessary
management duties ("Management Duties") with respect to the Power Transfer
System, including but not limited to the following:
(a) To cause the Property and the Power Transfer
System to be serviced and maintained in good condition and repair, and to
perform such alterations or improvements it deems desirable or necessary for the
efficient operation thereof (provided that material
12
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1977
alterations and improvements shall be subject to the prior written consent of SR
Partnership);
(b) To take such action as may be necessary to keep
the Power Transfer System in compliance with any and all requirements of SCE
pursuant to the power purchase contracts applicable to the electricity
transmitted through the Power Transfer System or otherwise;
(c) To take such action as may be necessary to
comply promptly with any orders or requirements affecting the Power Transfer
System imposed by any federal, state or local government having jurisdiction
over the Power Transfer System, giving prompt written notice to the Co-Tenants
of any such order or requirement;
(d) Promptly to investigate all accidents or damages
relating to the ownership, operations or maintenance of the Power Transfer
System, and to cooperate with and make any reports required by any insurance
company in connection therewith;
(e) To undertake and to perform, or to cause to be
performed, or to promptly advise the Co-Tenants of the necessity to undertake
and to perform, all other acts or actions necessary or desirable to the
efficient, safe, lawful, and economical operation of the Power Transfer System
(provided that material actions shall be subject to the prior written consent of
SR Partnership);
(f) To keep insured and pay all insurance premiums
for reasonable casualty and commercial general liability insurance of, and all
real property and personal property taxes, special assessments, and similar
levies imposed with respect to, the Power Transfer System;
(g) To maintain reserves, as necessary, to pay Power
Transfer System Operating Costs; and
(h) To hire employees, or to delegate obligations,
or enter into contracts, as necessary and reasonable, to carry out any of the
foregoing.
5.2 Replacement Manager. The Manager may be removed by SR
Partnership and the Paying Co-Tenants (as defined below), if any, due to its
negligence or willful misconduct and, in the case where the Manager is Zond or
an affiliate of Zond, in the event that Zond's entire Ownership Interest in the
Power Transfer System has been transferred to a third party. Until such time
(the "Shared Cost Time") that either (i) an Excess Capacity Buyer becomes party
to
13
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1978
this Agreement or (ii) one of the Existing Project Owners shall become obligated
to pay its pro rata share of the Power Transfer System Operating Costs in
accordance with provisions of Section 1.3 (collectively, the "Paying
Co-Tenants"), SR Partnership shall have the sole right to appoint or remove a
replacement Manager if Zond or an affiliate of Zond has been removed as Manager
due to its negligence or willful misconduct, or if Zond's entire Ownership
Interest in the Power Transfer System has been transferred to a third party.
Once the Shared Cost Time begins, SR Partnership and the Paying Co-Tenants shall
jointly determine any such replacement Manager and the compensation to be paid
such replacement Manager, which compensation shall be in a reasonable amount not
to exceed industry standards. SR Partnership and the Paying Co-Tenants shall act
reasonably in making such determination. If the Paying Co-Tenants and SR
Partnership cannot agree on the party or parties who will manage the Power
Transfer System, or the compensation for the Manager, the Paying Co-Tenants and
SR Partnership shall submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with Section
12.2 below.
5.3 Change in Point of Interconnect. The Manager and SR
Partnership shall take such steps, pay such costs and execute and deliver such
documents in connection with the change in the point of interconnection as are
reasonably necessary in the judgment of the Existing Project Owners to cause
such change in the point of interconnection, provided that such steps, costs and
documents shall not require the Manager or SR Partnership to incur any
obligations beyond obligations expressly contemplated herein. Provided that SR
Partnership and Manager have complied with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentences, each Existing Project Owner hereby agrees to take any and
all actions and execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments,
certificates or other documents, as are reasonably necessary in order for such
Existing Project Owner to interconnect electric power, in the amount of its
Co-Tenants Capacity (in MWs) set forth opposite its name in Exhibit B, to SCE at
either the Antelope Substation or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Substation, rather than at the
Zeewind Substation, by no later than January 29, 1993 or such earlier date as
reasonably requested by SR Partnership, which agreements and other documents
shall not require such Existing Project Owner to incur any additional
obligations for such interconnection (other than those covered by the SR
Partnership indemnity set forth in Section 11.1.4). In connection with the
foregoing, the Existing Project Owners hereby authorize and direct the Manager
to, at the appropriate time on or before the Effective Date, disconnect the
Existing Projects from the Zeewind Substation and
14
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1979
interconnect the Existing Projects with the Power Transfer System via the
Tehachapi substation (the "Tehachapi Substation"), which substation is a part of
the Power Transfer System.
5.4 Wilderness Power Purchase Contracts. SR Partnership
hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not, without the prior consent of
the Existing Project Owners, amend the Wilderness PPCs or the Interconnection
Facilities Agreement for such Wilderness PPCs in such a way as to change the
line loss factor or interconnection rights of the projects owned by the Existing
Project Owners as contemplated by such documents as of the date of this
Agreement.
6. Mutual Indemnity.
6.1 Co-Tenants Indemnity. Each Co-Tenant, and its successors
and assigns ("Indemnifying Co-Tenant"), shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the Manager, the other Co-Tenants, and their respective successors and
assigns (collectively, "Indemnified Co-Tenants"), for any and all losses,
damages, costs or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, which the Indemnified Co-Tenants might suffer or incur as a result of
(a) the ownership or use of the Power Transfer System by the Indemnifying
Co-Tenant or (b) the ownership or use of the Sagebrush Transmission Line by the
Indemnified Co-Tenant or the Sagebrush General Partner owned by such Indemnified
Co-Tenant, provided always that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply, in the
case of the Manager or any other Indemnified Co-Tenant, to any losses, damages,
costs or liabilities caused by its negligence or misconduct.
6.2 Manager Indemnity. Manager and its successors and
assigns (the "Indemnifying Party") shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
each Co-Tenant, and their respective successors and assigns ("Indemnified
Parties), for any and all losses, damages, costs or liabilities, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which the Indemnified Parties might
suffer or incur as a result of Indemnifying Party's negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with its management or operation of the Power Transfer
System, provided always that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any
losses, damages, costs or liabilities caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Indemnified Parties.
7. Loss of Qualifying Facility Status. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time any Co-Tenant shall
be deemed to be
15
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1980
an electric utility or an electric utility holding company, as such terms are
used in the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder, or subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, as
amended, or the Public Utility Holding Act of 1935, as amended, or any other
comparable federal or state regulation, or any Co-Tenant permits or suffers to
exist any condition that would result in such Co-Tenant's interest in the Power
Transfer System, or any portion thereof, or any other Co-Tenant's interest in
the Power Transfer System, or any portion thereof, losing its status as a
qualifying facility under the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act of 1978, as
amended (the "QF Result"), the right of the Co-Tenant owning the Turbines or
other facility that causes such QF Result (the "Impacted Facility") to use the
Power Transfer System to deliver electricity generated by the Impacted Facility
shall be suspended immediately, no such electricity shall be delivered
thereafter from the Impacted Facility through the Power Transfer System, and the
Co-Tenants owning the other Turbines and other facilities shall be authorized to
take such action (including, without limitation, disconnecting the Impacted
Facility from the Power Transfer System) as is necessary to prevent the use of
the Power Transfer System to deliver energy generated by the Impacted Facility.
Such suspension shall remain in effect until such time, if any, as the use of
the Power Transfer System to deliver electricity generated by the Impacted
Facility would no longer have a QF Result. At that point the right of the
Co-Tenant owning the Impacted Facility to use the Power Transfer System to
deliver electricity generated by the Impacted Facility shall be reinstated on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
8. Waiver. For the mutual benefit and protection of all parties,
each Co-Tenant hereby specifically waives and releases to the extent permitted
by law any and all right to bring any action for partition of the Transmission
Line Easements, the Power Transfer System, or any part thereof. Each Co-Tenant
further waives to the extent permitted by law the right to bring any action,
whether or not now known, the effect of which would cloud title to the
Transmission Line Easements, the Property, the Power Transfer System or any part
thereof or interest therein, and each Co-Tenant specifically waives to the
extent permitted by law its right in connection with any such action to file a
notice of lis pendens against the Property, the Transmission Line Easements, the
Power Transfer System, or any part thereof or interest therein.
16
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1981
9. Restrictions on Transfer.
9.1 Co-Tenant's Right to Encumber. Each Co-Tenant may, at
any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement, encumber,
mortgage or hypothecate to any person or entity (herein, the "Mortgagee") by
deed of trust or mortgage or other security instrument, (the "Mortgage") all or
part of such Co-Tenant's interest under this Agreement and the other documents
entered into in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the Assignment of Easement, without the consent of the other Co-Tenants,
provided that any such Mortgagee is expressly subject to the terms of this
Agreement.
9.2 Certain Rights of Mortgagee. Should any Co-Tenant incur
any encumbrance in accordance with Section 9.1 of this Agreement, and should the
remaining Co-Tenants receive notice thereof pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof
(each of the Co-Tenants hereby acknowledges receipt of notice with respect to
the Mortgagees set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto), the Co-Tenants hereby
expressly stipulate and agree between themselves and on behalf of, and for the
benefit of, the Mortgagee as follows:
9.2.1 Modification of Agreement. They will not modify
this Agreement or allow this Agreement to be modified in any way nor cancel this
Agreement without the written consent of the Mortgagee, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
9.2.2 Performance by Mortgagee. The Mortgagee shall
have the right to do any act or thing required of the encumbering Co-Tenant
under this Agreement, and any such act or thing performed by the Mortgagee shall
be as effective to prevent a default under this Agreement and/or a forfeiture of
any of such Co-Tenant's rights under this Agreement as if done by the Co-Tenant
itself, provided that the Mortgagee shall have first given the Co-Tenant such
notice and allowed the Co-Tenant to perform or attempt to perform such act or
thing for such period of time as may be specified in any documents or
instruments executed by the Co-Tenant for the benefit of the Mortgagee.
9.2.3 Notice to Mortgagee. Upon receipt of any notice
required to be delivered to the grantees under any of the Agreements (as defined
in the Assignment of Easement) pursuant to Section 7 of such Agreement or any
notices received by Manager as described in Section 11.3.2 herein, the Manager,
on behalf of the Co-Tenants, shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to all
Mortgagees, at the address set forth on Exhibit I hereto or at such other
17
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1982
address of Mortgagee as provided to the Manager in accordance with the terms of
Section 12.5.
9.2.4 Consents to Assignment. Each Co-Tenant hereby
agrees that it shall, no later than five (5) business days after a request by
any other Co-Tenant (the "Requesting Co-Tenant") (or its Mortgagee), execute
such consents or estoppel certificates as are reasonably requested by the
Requesting Co-Tenant or its Mortgagee.
9.3 Limitation on Transfer. Except as provided in
Sections 3.2.1 and 9.1 above and in connection with the exercise of remedies by
such Mortgagees, the Co-Tenants and each of them, shall not be permitted to
sell, assign, sublease, hypothecate, transfer or dispose of, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, the whole or any part of this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the other Co-Tenants, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, H&S may
distribute its interest in the Transmission Line Easements and the Power
Transfer System among its general partners, and the Ownership Interest, the
Project Nameplate Rated Capacity, Co-Tenants Capacity and the Interconnected
Capacity of H&S will be reallocated accordingly, provided that each of the
general partners of H&S agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In
determining whether or not to consent to the sale, assignment, transfer or
disposal of SR Partnership's interest in this Agreement, the other Co-Tenants
(other than Paying Co-Tenants) may consider, among other things, the financial
net worth of the proposed transferee.
10. Tenancy in Common and Not Partnership. The parties hereto own
the Power Transfer System as tenants-in-common and this Agreement is a
memorandum between the tenants-in-common. The parties hereto do not intend to
establish, and this Agreement should not be construed as establishing, any sort
of partnership or joint venture status between the parties. The duties,
obligations and liabilities of the Co-Tenants are intended to be several, and
not joint or collective obligations and liabilities. No Co-Tenant shall be under
the control of or deemed to control any other Co-Tenant by virtue of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for federal income tax purposes and
applicable state or local income or franchise tax purposes, this
tenancy-in-common shall be treated as a partnership, and, unless some other
allocation is required under applicable tax law, all depreciation, investment
tax credits and other tax benefits shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants in
accordance with their respective capital accounts. SR Partnership shall have a
positive balance in
18
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1983
its capital account in an amount equal to the costs incurred by SR Partnership
to construct the Power Transfer System (including the costs of acquiring the
Transmission Line Easements) and to acquire the stock of the Sagebrush General
Partners. As of the date hereof, none of the Co-Tenants (other than SR
Partnership) has made any contribution to its capital account. Each Co-Tenant
acknowledges that SR Partnership shall be the "Tax Matters Partner" for federal
income tax purposes and shall prepare all tax and information returns and make
such tax elections as it may deem appropriate. The Tax Matters Partner shall
distribute copies of all tax and information returns in a timely manner.
11. Sagebrush Transmission Line.
11.1 Acquisition of Interest in Sagebrush.
11.1.1 Sagebrush Documents. Each of the Co-Tenants
acknowledges that they have received copies of (i) the Option Agreement and (ii)
the Second Amended and Restated Sagebrush General Co-Ownership Partnership
Agreement dated as of September 1, 1989, as amended from time to time (the
"Partnership Agreement"), and is familiar with the terms of the Option Agreement
and the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5 of the
Option Agreement, which sets forth the procedure for exercising the options
described in the Option Agreement (the "Options") and a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit E, and Section 8.1.1 of the Partnership Agreement,
which sets forth the requirements for becoming an Active Partner (as defined in
the Partnership Agreement) and a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F.
Each of the Co-Tenants hereby (i) acknowledges that pursuant to Section 7(b) of
the Option Agreement, SR Partnership agreed to keep the Option Agreement, the
Partnership Agreement and any and all information relating to Sagebrush, the
Sagebrush Transmission Line, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and its affiliates confidential, and
(ii) agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary to preserve and protect such
confidentiality. No Co-Tenant shall be held liable for the failure of any other
Co-Tenant to take all reasonable steps necessary to preserve and protect such
confidentiality.
11.1.2 Exercise of Option. SR Partnership and each
other Co-Tenant hereby agrees that (i) SR Partnership shall, pursuant to the
Option Agreement, exercise the Options and nominate such Co-Tenant to acquire
the capital stock of the Sagebrush General Partner set forth opposite its name
on Exhibit B and (ii) such Co-Tenant shall acquire such capital stock, at SR
Partnership's expense, on
19
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1984
or before January 17, 1993 or such earlier date as may be reasonably requested
by SR Partnership. Each Co-Tenant shall, concurrent with execution hereof,
execute and deliver to SR Partnership and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ a certificate in the form
of Exhibit G attached hereto and a letter in the form of Exhibit H attached
hereto, each with the blanks appropriately completed. Each Co-Tenant hereby
further agrees that it shall take any and all actions, provide any and all
information, and execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments,
certificates or other documents, as are reasonably necessary for SR Partnership
to exercise the Options pursuant to Section 5 of the Option Agreement and for
such Co-Tenant to acquire the capital stock of the Sagebrush General Partner set
forth opposite its name on Exhibit B. All costs and expenses relating to the
exercise of the Option and acquisition of capital stock described above shall be
paid by SR Partnership.
11.1.3 Active Partner Status. Each Co-Tenant hereby
agrees that, after it has acquired the capital stock of the Sagebrush General
Partner set forth opposite its name on Exhibit B, it shall, and it shall cause
such Sagebrush General Partner to, promptly take any and all actions and execute
and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, certificates or other
documents, as are necessary to cause such Sagebrush General Partner to become an
Active Partner.
11.1.4 Indemnity. SR Partnership hereby indemnifies
each Co-Tenant, or its Sagebrush General Partner (other than SP15), as the case
may be (each a "Sagebrush Indemnified Party"), for all fees, costs, expenses and
liabilities (the "Sagebrush Claims") incurred by the Sagebrush Indemnified Party
in connection with its interest in Sagebrush and the Sagebrush Transmission
Line, including, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the applicable Fee Agreement (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) and the Sagebrush Maintenance Agreement (as defined below), except
for those Sagebrush Claims which arise as a result of (i) the acts, omissions,
negligence or misconduct of any Sagebrush Indemnified Party, (ii) the negligence
or willful misconduct of the Manager or (iii) disconnection of such Sagebrush
Indemnified Party as contemplated by Section 11.3 below. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such indemnification shall not cover any consequential damages
incurred by such Sagebrush Indemnified Party, including, without limitation,
lost profits or revenues resulting from an inability to deliver electrical power
to SCE via the Power Transfer System or the Sagebrush Transmission Line.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that
(i) any Co-Tenant or
20
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1985
any Sagebrush General Partner owned by such Co-Tenant shall, after the date of
this Agreement, without the prior written consent of SR Partnership, (a) amend,
supplement, provide consent or approval under or modify any of the documents,
agreements or obligations with respect to which SR Partnership has agreed to
indemnify any Co-Tenant or any Sagebrush General Partner hereunder for costs and
expenses owing by such entity thereunder (including, without limitation, the
Partnership Agreement, the Sagebrush Maintenance Agreement, Technical Use
Agreements (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), Fee Agreements and
management agreements) or (b) exercises its right to vote on decisions set forth
in Section 11.4 herein in a manner not consistent with the manner SP15 votes on
such decision, and (ii) such amendments, supplements, consents, approvals,
modifications or voting increases the amount of such costs and expenses covered
by the indemnity of SR Partnership hereunder or in any other Section of this
Agreement, such indemnity shall not cover any such increased costs and expenses.
Any Sagebrush Indemnified Party shall, as soon as possible after the receipt by
it of notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any action in respect
to which indemnity may be sought on account of the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section, notify SR Partnership thereof. If any investigative, judicial
or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought
against any Sagebrush Indemnified Party, SR Partnership will resist and defend
such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by
counsel designated by SR Partnership (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Sagebrush Indemnified Party). Each Sagebrush Indemnified
Party shall cooperate as reasonably requested by SR Partnership, in the defense
of any such action. No Sagebrush Indemnified Party shall compromise or settle
any action for which indemnification is or may be sought without the prior
written consent of SR Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
11.2 Interconnection Management. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, each Co-Tenant authorizes the Manager on its behalf to
operate and manage the interconnection of the Power Transfer System with the
Sagebrush Transmission Line pursuant to the terms of the applicable Technical
Use Agreements.
11.3 Disconnection.
11.3.1 Sagebrush Management and Maintenance Agreement.
Each of the Co-Tenants acknowledges that they have received a copy of that
certain Sagebrush Management and Maintenance Agreement dated as of September 1,
1989 (the "Sagebrush Maintenance Agreement")
21
BOOK 6724 PAGE 1986
among Sagebrush, its general partners and ToyoWest Management Company
("ToyoWest") and is familiar with the terms of the Sagebrush Maintenance
Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 7.2 thereof, which sets forth
the power and authority of ToyoWest, as manager of the Sagebrush Transmission
Line to exercise the disconnect remedy under the Sagebrush Maintenance
Agreement.
11.3.2 Power to Disconnect. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, each of the Co-Tenants hereby grants to Manager the power,
and acknowledges that the Manager is unconditionally obligated, upon receipt by
the Manager from ToyoWest of a written notice described in Section 7.2.3 of the
Sagebrush Maintenance Agreement, pursuant to which ToyoWest instructs the
Manager to disconnect the project of a Co-Tenant because either such Co-Tenant
or its related Partner (as defined in the Sagebrush Maintenance Agreement) is in
default under the Sagebrush Maintenance Agreement, to immediately disconnect,
without grace period or additional period to cure, such Co-Tenant's project from
the Power Transfer System at the point where the electrical energy of such
Co-Tenant project is combined with that of the projects of the other Co-Tenants.
11.4 Sagebrush Partnership Decisions. Each Co-Tenant shall
cause the Sagebrush General Partner set forth opposite its name in Exhibit B not
to exercise its right to vote on decisions to be made by the general partners of
Sagebrush pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Partnership Agreement or Sections 5.2.5
and 5.2.3 of the Sagebrush Maintenance Agreement without the prior written
consent of SR Partnership, if the outcome of such vote would result in an
increase in the amount of costs and expenses covered by the indemnity of SR
Partnership in this Agreement. In the event that the general partners in
Sagebrush vote on the issue of whether or not the Sagebrush Transmissions Line
should be sold to a public utility and so long as such proposed sale shall not
adversely impact each Co-Tenant's ability to interconnect with SCE at an SCE
substation within the Power Transfer System or to which the Sagebrush
Transmission Line connects, each Co-Tenant (other than SR Partnership) shall
cause its Sagebrush General Partner to vote on such issue in the same manner as
SP15.

the date on which the last of the following events has occurred: (i) each of the

dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of
limitations.

1. By accepting this Assignment and by its execution, each Assignee hereby
assumes and agrees to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the
Agreements therein required to be performed on the part of the Grantee;
provided, however, that as to each individual Assignee other than SR
Partnership, such obligation is limited in cost to the same percentage as its
percentage interest as a tenant in common (the "Assignee Costs"). SR Partnership
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each other Assignee and its successors and
assigns (each an "Indemnified Party") harmless from its Assignee Costs, except
for those Assignee Costs which arise as a result of the Indemnified Party's
gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided, however that such
indemnification shall not cover any consequential damages, including, without
limitation, lost revenues or profits. Any Indemnified Party shall, as soon as
possible after the
C-3
BOOK 6724 PAGE 2018
receipt by it of notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any action
in respect to which indemnity may be sought on account of the indemnity
agreement contained herein, notify SR Partnership thereof. If any investigative,
judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is
brought against any Indemnified Party, SR Partnership will resist and defend
such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by
counsel designated by SR Partnership (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party). Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate
as reasonably requested by SR Partnership in the defense of any such action. No
Indemnified Party shall compromise or settle any action for which
indemnification is or may be sought without the prior written consent of SR
Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
2. Each Assignee, to the extent of its percentage interest as a tenant in
common, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Assignor and its successors and
assigns forever harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting to Assignor as a result of
Assignee's failure to perform, on or after the date hereof, any term, covenant
or condition of the Agreements required on the part of Grantee therein, unless
such failure to perform is a result of SR Partnership's failure to perform its
indemnity obligations under Section I herein or pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement Among Co-Tenants (as defined below). Assignor hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold each Assignee and its successors and assigns forever harmless
from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees) resulting to Assignee as a result of Assignor's failure to
perform, prior to the date hereof, any term, covenant or condition of the
Agreements required on the part of Grantee therein.
3. Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Assignee that, as of the date
hereof, Assignor has previously delivered to Assignee a copy of each of the
Agreements and the Assignments and that such copy is a true, correct and
complete copy of each of the Agreements and the Assignments which is in full
force and effect without modification or amendment of any kind and, to
Assignor's knowledge, with no default existing thereunder.
4. Each of the Agreements, and any successor to any such Agreement,
individually and collectively, shall be subject to the terms of that certain
Agreement Among Co-Tenants dated as of December 13, 1990 by and among SR
Partnership, Zond, H&S, VG Partnership, 85-A and 85-B (the "Agreement Among

C-4
BOOK 6724 PAGE 2019
5. The Assignees hereto own the Transferred Interests as tenants-in-common.
Each Assignee does not intend to establish, and this Agreement should not be
construed as establishing, any sort of partnership or joint venture status
between the individual Assignees. The duties, obligations and liabilities of the
Assignees are intended to be several, and not joint or collective obligations
and liabilities. No individual Assignee shall be under the control of or deemed
to control any other Assignee by virtue of this Assignment.
6. For the mutual benefit and protection of all parties, each Co-Tenant
hereby specifically waives and releases to the extent permitted by law any and
all right to bring any action for partition of the Transferred Interests or any
part thereof.

SECTION 8.1.1 OF THE
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
8.1 Active and Inactive Partners.
8.1.1 The Partners of the Partnership shall be either
Active Partners or Inactive Partners. All Partners who are not Active Partners
are Inactive Partners. Active Partners are Partners that are currently entitled
to make use of the Transmission Line for transmitting electricity from said
Partner's (or its Partner Affiliate's) Project to SCE; for this purpose, a
Partner (or its Partner Affiliate) shall be treated as so entitled
notwithstanding the lease or license of use of the Transmission Line to a lessee
pursuant to Section 10. All Partners, both Active and Inactive Partners, are
required to execute and comply with the Management and Maintenance Agreement and
separate Fee Agreement with the Manager. To be an Active Partner a Partner must,
in addition, meet and continue to fulfill the following qualifications: (i) the
Partner, or its Partner Affiliate, must own a Project, and (ii) the Partner or
its Partner Affiliate must have executed and be in full compliance with the
Technical Use Agreement with the Partnership. Partners who meet the foregoing
qualifications shall be Active Partners, and Active Partners, or their Partner
Affiliates, shall be entitled to make use of the Transmission Line for
transmitting electricity from said Partners, or from said Partner Affiliates,
Project to SCE and shall be entitled to participate more fully in the management
of the Partnership than Inactive Partners. The Manager shall maintain a list of
the Partners who are Active Partners. A Partner who has once become an Active
Partner shall cease to be an Active Partner, shall be an Inactive Partner, and
shall lose the privilege of being able to make use of the Transmission Line, if,
and for the period of time that; (a) the-Project of said Partner or its Partner
Affiliate is not a Qualifying Facility or, even though it is a Qualifying
Facility, the Project is of a size or operated in a manner which would deny the
exemption set forth in 18 CFR-292.601 and 18 CFR 292.602 to any other Partner or
Partner Affiliate or any similar exemptions arising under state law or (b) said
Partner or its Partner Affiliate is in material breach of the Management and
Maintenance Agreement, its Fee Agreement, the Technical Use Agreement, or this
Amended Agreement, provided that the Partner has received written notice of said
material breach from the Manager and, for a period of at least thirty (30) days,
said Partner fails to cure said breach.
