5. LOAD LOSS
(a) Limitation on Damages
PBL shall bill Port Angeles monthly for any power Port Angeles was
contractually obligated to purchase that month, but did not take for any
reason other than Mandated or Voluntary Retail Access, at the rates PBL
would have charged Port Angeles if Port Angeles had taken such power
under this Agreement. Up to 60 days after the end of each Contract Year,
PBL may deter.mine if Port Angeles purchased less Contracted Power in any
month during the previous Contract Year, due to Voluntary Retail Access
load loss, than it was contractually obligated to purchase under this
Agreement (Monthly Purchase Deficiency). If PBL makes such a
determination it shall calculate the reasonable market value of each Monthly
Purchase Deficiency taking into account the differing market values within
each month during such Contract Year. Port Angeles shall pay PBL
damages for such Contract Year equal to the amount by which the sum of the
product of the Monthly Purchase Deficiencies and the amount PBL would
have charged if the power had been taken under this Agreement exceeds the
sum of the product of the Monthly Purchase Deficiencies and the reasonable
market value in each month. PBL may require through a written notice to
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
5
I
..-
Port Angeles that Port Angeles provide a reasonable forecast of its expected
load loss amounts for a Contract Year.
(b) Returned Retail Loads
Port Angeles shall notify PBL of any Returned Retail Load and provide PBL
with metering information for such loads prior to PBL providing any power
to serve such lQads. Port Angeles agrees not to request from PBL service
under section 5(b) of the Northwest Power Act for a Returned Retail Load
which would commence earlier than one year after the date the Returned
Retail Load began receiving service from the Alternate Supplier. Any
request for service to Returned Retail Loads would be established pursuant
to section 4(c) of Exhibit A, Rate Commitments.
6. RETAIL ACCESS IMPLEMENTATION
Port Angeles agrees to use its best efforts and all legal recourse to defend itself in
any legal action in which it is alleged that the failure of Port Angeles to provide
open access to its distribution system to Alternate Suppliers constitutes a violation
of state or Federal antitrust laws. At least 180 days before Port Angeles allows
Voluntary Retail Access or before the effective date of Mandated Retail Access, the
Parties shall amend the terms of this Agreement, if and to the extent necessary, to
reflect the following Port Angeles obligations:
(a) Port Angeles shall ensure that PBL has access to information adequate to
plan, schedule, and bill for service rendered under this Agreement; and
(b) Port Angeles shall ensure that any retail electric power consumer, that
receives all or ~ portion of its power supply from an Alternate Supplier,
acquires all services necessary to support such service, including without
limitation energy imbalance service.
7. SCHEDULING
The Parties shall amend this Agreement as needed if any transmission tariff or
regulatory agency requires or recommends changes that PBL decides to accept,
which PBL determines require power scheduling provisions be made a part of this
Agreement.
8. DELIVERY
(a) Transmission Service for Contracted Power
This Agreement does not provide transmission services for, or include the
delivery of, Contracted Power to Port Angeles. Port Angeles shall be
responsible for executing one or more wheeling agreements with a
transmission supplier for the delivery of Contracted Power (Wheeling
Agreement). The Parties agree to take such actions as may be necessary to
facilitate the delivery of Contracted Power to Port Angeles consistent with
the terms, notice, and the time limits contained in the Wheeling Agreement.
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
6
(b) Liability for Delivery
Port Angeles waives any claims against PBL arising under this Agreement
for nondelivery of power to any points beyond the applicable Points of
Receipt. PBL shall not be liable for any third-party claims related to the
delivery of power after it leaves the Points of Receipt. In no event will either
Party be liable under this Agreement to the other Party for damage that
results from any sudden, unexpected, changed, or abnormal electrical
condition occurring in or on any electric system, regardless of ownership.
These limitations on liability apply regardless of whether or not this
Agreement provides for transfer service.
(c) Points of Receipt
PBL shall make Contracted Power available to Port Angeles under this
Agreement at Points of Receipt solely for the purpose of scheduling
transmission to points of delivery on Port Angeles's distribution system.
Port Angeles shall schedule, if scheduling is necessary, such Contracted
Power solely for use by its firm retail electric power consumer load. PBL, for
purposes of sc~eduling transmission for delivery under this Agreement,
specified Points of Receipt in a written notice to Port Angeles prior to
August 1, 2000.
If required by the Wheeling Agreement when PBL designates such Points of
Receipt, PBL will provide capacity amounts for transmission under the
Wheeling Agreement associated with the initial Points of Receipt that can be
accepted as firm Points of Receipt under Port Angeles's Wheeling Agreement
(except in the event that all Points of Receipt on the Federal Columbia River
Power System (FCRPS) would be considered nonfirm). The sum of capacity
amounts requested by PBL shall not exceed the amount reasonably
necessary for PBL to provide Contracted Power. Such Points of Receipt and
their capacity amounts may only be changed through mutual agreement.
However, at any time PBL may request the use of nonfirm Points of Receipt
to provide Contracted Power to Port Angeles, but notwithstanding section
8(b) above, PBL shall reimburse Port Angeles for any additional costs
incurred by Port Angeles due to its compliance with such request.
(d) Transmission Losses
PBL shall provide Port Angeles the losses between the Points of Receipt and
Port Angeles's distribution system for Contracted Power, at no additional
charge. Losses' will be provided at Points of Receipt as established under
section 8(c), and under the terms and conditions as defined in the
transmission provider's tariff.
(e) Points of Measurement Losses
Measured amounts of Contracted Power shall be adjusted to account for
losses, if any, that occur between the points where Contracted Power enters
Port Angeles's system and the respective Points of Measurement.
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
7
(f) Hourly Load Matching
For purposes of this section "Load Matching" means the obligation within the
hour to match generation with Contracted Power. PBL intends to provide
this service under this Agreement. If however PBL is not allowed to provide
Load Matching under this Agreement, PBL may revise this Agreement as
necessary to reflect the need for Port Angeles to arrange and pay for Load
Matching. If PBL is not allowed to provide Load Matching under this
Agreement, PBL shall provide a credit to Port Angeles under the FPS 1996
Rate Schedule or its successor for the lesser of the actual costs Port Angeles
incurs for Load Matching or Amounts Taken multiplied by the amount per
kWh that PBL projected it would pay for Load Matching in the Wholesale
Power Rate Schedules Port Angeles purchases under.
9. MEASUREMENT
The following requirements apply to this Agreement, except for metering of load lost
or gained due to Voluntary or Mandated Retail Access, which is governed by
section 6, Retail Access Implementation.
(a) General
Port Angeles authorizes PBL to use metering data as PBL determines is
necessary to plan, schedule, and bill for power. Port Angeles agrees to
authorize TBL to provide Port Angeles's metering data directly to PBL,
subject to any restrictions imposed by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC). All Points of Measurement are shown in Exhibit E,
Points of Measurement. Port Angeles agrees to provide reasonable notice to
PBL prior to changing Control Areas.
(b) BP A Metering
BP A is respons.ible for the installation, operation, maintenance, and
replacement of all metering equipment owned by BP A that is needed to plan,
schedule, and bill for power. For BPA-owned meters only, Port Angeles
authorizes PBL to install at PBL expense any metering equipment on Port
Angeles's facilities, that is reasonably necessary to plan, schedule and bill for
power, if PBL or Port Angeles are unable to obtain the information from
TBL. The installation of such metering equipment shall be subject to a
separate agreement between PBL and Port Angeles, addressing the location,
access, maintenance, testing, and liability of the Parties with respect to such
meters.
(c) Port Angeles Metering
(1) General Responsibilities
Port Angeles is responsible for the installation, operation,
maintenance, and replacement of metering equipment (except
metering equipment owned by BP A or a transferring party) that is
needed by PBL to plan, schedule, and bill for power for:
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
8
(A) points of interconnection between Port Angeles's system and
parties other than BP A.
(B) all loads that require separate measurement for purposes of
planning, scheduling, or billing by PBL.
(C) generating resources shown in Exhibit C, Net Requirements,
that are interconnected to Port Angeles's system.
All metering equipment shall meet standards generally accepted by
the electric utility industry in the Region for the particular metering
application.
(2) Existing Metering
Metering equipment existing at the time of execution of this
Agreement may continue to be used indefinitely, provided it records
data hourly and is reported to BP A each month. Metering equipment
which does not record hourly may continue to be used in instances
when PBL does not need hourly data to plan, schedule, or bill.
(3) New Meters
Any metering equipment described in subsection 9(c)(1) that is
replaced, upgraded, or newly installed shall allow PBL complete
electronic access to metering data. Electronic access is the capability
for data polling and extraction via PBL's system software as
frequently as needed to plan, schedule, and bill for power. Such
meters shall record hourly and enable PBL to extract meter data for a
minimum of the previous 45 days. In addition to the general
requirements of (1), above, new meters shall meet PBL's published
metering standards then in effect for such application.
(4) Exceptions
When the Parties agree metering is economically or technologically
impractical, mutually acceptable load profiles may be used instead of
metered amounts. Where power amounts are scheduled in or out of
the Port Angeles's service territory, scheduled amounts shall be used,
if appropriate, to determine the amount of Contracted Power
delivered.
10. BILLING AND PAYMENT
(a) Billing
PBL shall bill Port Angeles monthly, consistent with applicable BP A rates,
including the GRSPs and the provisions of this Agreement for the Amounts
Taken, payments pursuant to section 5, and other services provided to Port
Angeles in the preceding month or months under this Agreement. PBL may
send Port Angeles an estimated bill followed by a final bill. PBL shall send
all bills on the bill's issue date either electronically or by mail, at Port
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
9
Angeles's option. If electronic transmittal of the entire bill is not practical,
PBL shall transmit a summary electronically, and send the entire bill by
mail.
(b) Payment
Payment of all bills, whether estimated or final, must be received by the
20th day after the issue date of the bill (Due Date). If the 20th day is a
Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the Due Date is the next business day.
If payment has been made on an estimated bill before receipt of a final bill
for the same month, Port Angeles shall pay only the amount by which the
final bill exceeds the payment made for the estimated bill. PBL shall provide
Port Angeles the amounts by which an estimated bill exceeds a final bill
through either a check or as a credit on the subsequent month's bill. Mter
the Due Date, a late payment charge shall be applied each day to any unpaid
balance. The late payment charge is calculated by dividing the Prime Rate
for Large Banks as reported in the Wall Street Journal, plus 4 percent; by
365. The applicable Prime Rate for Large Banks shall be the rate reported
on the first day of the month in which payment is received. Port Angeles
shall pay by electronic funds transfer using BPA's established procedures.
PBL may terminate this Agreement if Port Angeles is more than three
months behind in paying its bills under this Agreement and Port Angeles
cannot demonstrate an ability to make the payments owed.
(c) Disputed Bills
In case of a billing dispute, Port Angeles shall note the disputed amount and
pay its bill in full by the Due Date. Unpaid bills (including both disputed
and undisputed amounts) are subject to late payment charges provided
above. If Port Angeles is entitled to a refund of any portion of the disputed
amount, then BP A shall make such refund with simple interest computed
from the date of receipt of the disputed payment to the date the refund is
made. The daily interest rate used to determine the interest is calculated by
dividing the Prime Rate for Large Banks as reported in the Wall Street
Journal; by 365. The applicable Prime Rate for Large Banks shall be the
rate reported on the first day of the month in which payment is received by
BPA.

(a) Nothing included in or omitted from this Agreement creates or extinguishes
any right or obligation, if any, of BP A to assess against Port Angeles and
Port Angeles to pay to BP A at any time a cost underrecovery charge
pursuant to an applicable transmission rate schedule or otherwise applicable
law.
(b) BPA may adjust the rates for Contracted Power set forth in the applicable
power rate schedule during the term of this Agreement pursuant to the Cost
Recovery Adjustment Clause in the 2002 GRSPs, or successor GRSPs.
13. UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES
PBL shall not be in breach of its obligation to provide Contracted Power and Port
Angeles shall not be in breach of its obligation to purchase Contracted Power to the
extent the failure to fulfill that obligation is due to an Uncontrollable Force.
"Uncontrollable Force" means an event beyond the reasonable control of, and
without the fault or negligence of, the Party claiming the Uncontrollable Force that
impairs that Party's ability to perform its contractual obligations under this
Agreement and which, by exercise of that Party's reasonable diligence and foresight,
such Party could not be expected to avoid and was unable to avoid. Uncontrollable
Forces include, but are not limited to:
(a) any unplanned-curtailment or. interruption for any reason of firm
transmission used to deliver Contracted Power to Port Angeles's facilities or
distribution system, including but not limited to unplanned maintenance
outages;
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
11
(b) any unplanned curtailment or interruption, failure or imminent failure of
Port Angeles's distribution facilities, including but not limited to unplanned
maintenance outages;
(c) any planned transmission or distribution outage that affects either Port
Angeles or PBL which was provided by a third-party transmission or
distribution owner, or by a transmission provider, including TBL, that is
functionally separated from the generation provider in conformance with
FERC Orders 888 and 889 or its successors;
(d) strikes or work stoppage, including the threat of imminent strikes or work
stoppage;
(e) floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; and
(f) orders or injunctions issued by any court having competent subject matter
jurisdiction, or any order of an administrative officer which the Party
claiming the Uncontrollable Force, after diligent efforts, was unable to have
stayed, suspended, or set aside pending review by a court of competent
subject matter jurisdiction.
Neither the unavailability of funds or financing, nor conditions of national or local
economies or markets shall be considered an Uncontrollable Force. The economic
hardship of either Party shall not constitute an Uncontrollable Force. Nothing
contained in this provision shall be construed to require either Party to settle any
strike or labor dispute in which it may be involved.
The Party claiming the Uncontrollable Force shall notify the other Party as soon as
practicable of that Party's inability to meet its obligations under this Agreement due
to an Uncontrollable Force. The Party claiming the Uncontrollable Force also
agrees to notify any control area involved in the scheduling of a transaction which
may be curtailed due to an Uncontrollable Force.
Both Parties shall be excused from their respective obligations, other than from
payment obligations incurred prior to the Uncontrollable Force, without liability to
the other, for the duration of the Uncontrollable Force and the period reasonably
required for the Party claiming the Uncontrollable Force, using due diligence, to
restore its operations to conditions existing prior to the occurrence of the
Uncontrollable Force.
14. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
(a) This Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with and governed by
Federal law. Final actions subject to section 9(e) of the Northwest Power Act
are not subject to binding arbitration and shall remain within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Any
dispute regarding any rights of the Parties under any BP A policy, including
the implementation of such policy, shall not be subject to arbitration under
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
12
this Agreement. Port Angeles reserves the right to seek judicial resolution of
any dispute arising under this Agreement that is not subject to arbitration
under this section 14. For purposes of this section 14 BP A policy means any
written document adopted by BP A as a final action in a decision record or
record of decision that establishes a policy of general application, or makes a
determination under an applicable statute. If either Party asserts that a '
dispute is excluded from arbitration under this section 14, either Party may
apply to the Federal court having jurisdiction for an order determining
whether such dispute is subject to arbitration under this section 14.
(b) Any contract dispute or contract issue between the Parties arising out of this
Agreement, except for disputes that are excluded through section 14(a)
above, shall be subject to binding arbitration. The Parties shall make a good
faith effort to resolve such disputes before initiating arbitration proceedings.
During arbitration, the Parties shall continue performance under this
Agreement pending resolution of the dispute, unless to do so would be
impossible or impracticable.
(c) Any arbitration shall take place in Portland, Oregon, unless the Parties
agree otherwise. The CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution's arbitration
procedures for commercial arbitration, Non-Administered Arbitration Rules
(CPR Rules), shall be used for each dispute; provided, however, that:
(1) the Parties :"hall have the discovery rights provided in the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure unless the Parties agree otherwise; and (2) for claims of
$1 million or more, each arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three
neutral arbitrators. The Parties shall select the arbitrators from a list
containing the names of 15 qualified individuals supplied by the CPR
Institute for Dispute Resolution. If the Parties cannot agree upon three
arbitrators on the list within 20 business days, the Parties shall take turns
striking names from the list of proposed arbitrators. The Party initiating the
arbitration shall take the first strike. This process shall be repeated until
three arbitrators remain on the list, and those individuals shall be
designated as the arbitrators. For disputes involving less than $1 million, a
single neutral arbitrator shall be selected consistent with section 6 of the
CPR Rules.
(d) Except for arbitration awards which declare the rights and duties of the
Parties under this Agreement, the payment of monies shall be the exclusive
remedy available in any arbitration proceeding. Under no circumstances
shall specific performance be an available remedy against BP A. The
arbitration award shall be final and binding on both Parties, except that
either Party may seek judicial review based upon any of the grounds referred
to in the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ~1-16 (1988). Judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having
jurisdiction thereof.
(e) Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs of arbitration, including
legal fees. The arbitrators may apportion all other costs of arbitration
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
13
between the Parties in such manner as they deem reasonable taking into
account the circumstances of the case, the conduct of the Parties during the
proceeding, and the result of the arbitration.
15. STATUTORY PROVISIONS
(a) Annual Financial Report and Retail Rate Schedules
Port Angeles shall provide PBL with a current copy of its annual financial
report and its retail rate schedules, as required by Section 5(a) of the
Bonneville Project Act, P.L. 75-329.
(b) Insufficiency and Allocations
If BP A determines, consistent with section 5(b) of the Northwest Power Act
and other applicable statutes, that it will not have sufficient resources on a
planning basis to serve its loads after taking all actions required by
applicable laws then BP A shall give Port Angeles a written notice that BP A
may restrict service. Such notice shall be consistent with BPA's insufficiency
and allocations methodology, published in the Federal Register on March 20,
1996, and shall state the effective date of the restriction, the amount of Port
Angeles's load to be restricted, and the expected duration of the restriction.
BP A shall not change that methodology without the written agreement of all
affected customers. Such restriction shall take effect no sooner than five
years after notice is given to Port Angeles. If BP A imposes a restriction
under this provision then the amount of Contracted Power that Port Angeles
is obligated to purchase pursuant to section 4 shall be reduced to the
amounts available under such restricted service.
(c) New Large Single Loads
(1) General
All existing NLSLs are listed in section 5 of Exhibit A, Rate
Commitments. Port Angeles shall provide reasonable notice to PBL of
any expected increase in load that is likely to qualify as a new NLSL.
Port Angeles may either serve a NLSL with Contracted Power or with
power from another source. For purposes of this section (c),
"Consumer" means an end-user of electric power or energy.
(2) Determination of a Facility
PBL, in consultation with Port Angeles, shall make a reasonable
determination of what constitutes a single facility, for the purpose of
identifying a NLSL, based upon the following criteria:
(A)
whether the load is operated by a single Consumer;
(B)
whether the load is in a single location;
(C)
whether the load serves a manufacturing process which
produces a single product or type of product;
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
14
(D) whether separable portions of the load are interdependent;
(E) whether the load is contracted for, served or billed as a single
load under Port Angeles's customary billing and service policy;
(F) consistent application of the foregoing criteria in similar fact
situations; and
(G) any other factors the Parties determine to be relevant.
PBL shall show an increase in load associated with a Consumer's
facility which has been determined to be a NLSL in section 5 of
Exhibit A, Rate Commitments. PBL shall have the unilateral right to
amend Exhibit A to reflect such determinations when made.
(3) Determination of Ten Average Megawatt Increase
An increase in load shall be considered a NLSL if the energy
consumption of the Consumer's load associated with a new facility, an
existing facility, or expansion of an existing facility during the
immediately past 12-month period exceeds by 10 average megawatts
or more the Consumer's energy consumption for such new facility,
existing facility or expansion of an existing facility for the consecutive
12-month period one year earlier, or the amount of the contracted for,
or committed to load of the Consumer as of September 1, 1979,
whichever is greater.
(4) CF/CT Loads
The following loads were determined by the Administrator to be
contracted for, committed to, as of September 1, 1979, as defined in
section 3(13)(A) of the Northwest Power Act, and are subject to the
applicable rate for the rest (non-NLSL) of Port Angeles's load:
Retail electric power consumer's name: Daishowa America Co.
Amount of firm energy contracted for, or committed to, as of
September 1,1979: 40.3 aMW
Facility description: Daishowa Pulp & Paper Facility in Port Angeles,
Washington.
(d) Priority of Pacific Northwest Customers
The provisions of sections 9(c) and (d) of the Northwest Power Act and the
provisions of P..L. 88.552 as amended by the Northwest Power Act are
incorporated into this Agreement by reference. BP A agrees that Port
Angeles, together with other customers in the Region shall have priority to
BP A power, consistent with such provisions.
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
15
(e) Prohibition on Resale
Port Angeles shall not resell PF or NR Contracted Power except to serve Port
Angeles's Total Retail Load or as otherwise permitted by Federal law.
(f) Use of Regional Resources
(1) Within 60 days prior to the start of each Contract Year, Port Angeles
shall notify PBL of any firm power from a generating resource, or a
contract resource during its term, that has been used to serve firm
consumer load in the Region that Port Angeles plans to export for sale
outside the Region in the next Contract Year. PBL may during such
Contract Year request additional information on Port Angeles
resources if PBL has information that Port Angeles may have made
such an export and not notified PBL. PBL may request and Port
Angeles.shall provide within 30 days of such request, information on
the planned use of any or all of Port Angeles's generating and
contractual resources.
(2) Port Angeles shall be responsible for monitoring any firm power from
generating resources and contract resources it sells in the Region to
ensure such firm power is delivered to be used to serve firm consumer
load in the Region. ,
(3) If Port Angeles fails to report to PBL in accordance with section (1),
above, any of its planned exports for sale outside the Region of firm
power from a generating resource or a contract resource that has been
used to serve firm consumer load in the Region, and PBL makes a
finding that an export which was not reported was made, then PBL
may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days written notice to Port
Angeles. If PBL concludes that the failure to report is inadvertent
and unlikely to reoccur PBL shall not terminate this Agreement and
may instead elect to decrement the amount of Contracted Power by up
to two times the amount of the export that was not reported. When
applicable such decrements shall be established consistent with
section 4(c) of Exhibit C.
(4) For purposes of this section, an export for sale outside the Region
means a contract for the sale or disposition of firm power from a
generating resource, or a contract resource during its term, that has
been used to serve firm consumer load in the Region in a manner that
such output is not planned to be used solely to serve firm consumer
load in the Region. Delivery of firm power outside the Region under a
seasonal exchange agreement that is made consistent with BPA's
section 9(c) policy will not be considered an export. Firm power from
a generating resource or contract resource used to serve firm
consumer load in the Region means the firm generating or load
carrying capability of a generating resource or contract resource as
established under Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement
OOPB-12054, Port Angeles
16
resource planning criteria, or other resource planning criteria
generally used for such purposes within the Region.

BP A Statutes. Port Angeles may not transfer or assign this Agreement to
any of its retail customers.
(c) Information Exchange and Confidentiality
The Parties shall provide each other with any information that is reasonably
required, and requested by either Party in writing, to operate under and
administer this Agreement, including load forecasts for planning purposes,
information needed to resolve billing disputes, scheduling and metering
information reasonably necessary to prepare power bills that is not otherwise
available to the requesting Party. Such information shall be provided in a
timely manner. Information may be exchanged by any means agreed to by
the Parties. If such information is subject to a privilege of confidentiality, a

4. CHANGES TO RESOURCE AMOUNTS
(a) Annual Right to Add New Renewable Resources
Port Angeles may add new renewable resources to sections 2(a) or 2(b) of this
exhibit according to the terms of this provision. Port Angeles shall request
the addition of such resources at least 60 days before the start of the
Contract Year the resources will be added. The request shall identify the
resources, the length of time that the resources shall be applied to Port
Angeles's Total Retail Load and power amounts from the resources for each
month of the request. PBL will revise section 2 of this exhibit prior to the
start of the Contract Year if PBL agrees that the resource meets BP A's
standards to qualify for BPA's Conservation and Renewables Discount,
subject to any ~pplicable limits established in BPA's policy on net
requirements under section 5(b) of the Northwest Power Act. Port Angeles
shall resume purchasing Contracted Power under this Agreement when its
commitment to apply the renewable resource ends. The rate treatment for
such power shall be the same Port Angeles would have received for such

power if Port Angeles had not chosen to apply a resource under this
provision.
(b) Resource Additions for a BP A Insufficiency Notice
Port Angeles shall add resources under sections 2(b), or 2(c) to replace
amounts of Contracted Power BP A notifies Port Angeles will not be provided

PBL may determine consistent with BPA's policy implementing section 9(c)
of the Northwest Power Act and section 3(d) of P.L 88-552 (9(c) Policy) that
an export of a Port Angeles resource requires a reduction in the amount of
Federal power that PBL sells under this Agreement. If PBL determines such
a reduction is r.equired it will notify Port Angeles of the amount and duration
of the reduction. PBL shall revise this exhibit to include such amounts as
unspecified resources for the duration of the export requiring such reduction
under section 2(c) above. This amount shall be identified separately from
any other amounts of unspecified resources established in that provision.
The addition to section 2(c) shall also be included in the total resource
amount established in section 2(d). Determinations by PBL to reduce the
amount of Federal power sold are not subject to arbitration under section 14
of the body of this Agreement.
(d) Permanent Resource Removal
The resource amounts established in section 2 of this exhibit may be removed
permanently by Port Angeles consistent with statutory discontinuance for
permanent removal in BPA's policy on net requirements under section 5(b) of
the Northwest Power Act. IfPBL determines Port Angeles has met PBL's
standards for a permanent removal, the exhibit will be revised to show the
agreed resource changes. Additional power purchases under this Agreement
as a result of such a resource removal are subject to the terms established in
section 4(d) of Exhibit A, Rate Commitments. Determinations by PBL on the
permanent removal of a resource are not subject to arbitration under
section 14 of the body of this Agreement.
(e) Changes to Non-Port Angeles Resources
Port Angeles shall annually update the information established for non-Port
Angeles resources in section 3 at least 60 days before the start of each
Contract Year, if circumstances reasonably warrant such a change. Subject
to agreement of the Parties, the exhibit shall be revised to show the updated
information prior to the start of the applicable Contract Year.
(f) Resource Additions for NLSL
Port Angeles may add resources to sections 2(b) or 2(c) above in order to
serve a NLSL consistent with the rights established in section 5 of Exhibit A,
Rate Commitments.
