constructing such line. Producer shall have the right to audit IID's records and
accounts to verify the cost of such line.

11.2 Accept the Plant's net electrical output for the account of SCE
at the Point of Delivery and simultaneously deliver an equal amount of electric
energy (less applicable transmission losses) to the SCE system at IID/SCE
point(s) of interconnection.

11.3 Coordinate, to the greatest extent practicable, major overhaul
and inspection outages of IID transmission facilities with Producer and notify
Producer of any changes as far in advance as possible.

11.4 Carry out the directions of the Authorized Representative with
respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement.

11.5 Operate its system in a manner consistent with applicable utility
industry standards and good engineering practices.

12. BILLING
-------

12.1 IID shall read the meters monthly according to its regular meter
reading schedule beginning no more than thirty (30) days after the date that
electric energy is first supplied to Producer. IID monthly shall send Producer
within ten (10) working days after the meter is read a bill for electric
service. Producer shall pay IID the total amount billed within thirty (30) days
of receipt of the bill.

12.2 IID shall bill Producer for Producer's consumption of energy from
IID's resources in accordance with Rate Schedule GL or Rate Schedule A-2, as
applicable, as it may be revised from time to time. Copies of current Rate

EX-10.3.29 11th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 11th
12.3 If Producer disputes a bill, payment shall be made as if no
dispute existed pending resolution of the dispute by the Authorized
Representatives. If the bill is determined to be in error, the disputed amount
shall be refunded by IID including interest at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1 1/2%) per month, compounded monthly, from the date of payment to the
date the refund check or adjusted bill is mailed.

13. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES
--------------------------

13.1 Within thirty (30) days after the date this Agreement is signed,
each Party shall designate, by written notice to the other Party, an Authorized
Representative who is authorized to act in its behalf in the implementation of
this Agreement and with respect to those matters contained herein which are the
functions and responsibilities for the Authorized Representatives. Either Party
may, at any time, change the designation of it Authorized Representative by
written notice to the other Party.

13.2 IID's Authorized Representative shall develop detailed written
procedures necessary and convenient to administer this Agreement within six (6)
months after the date signed. Such procedures shall be submitted to Producer's
Authorized Representative for review, comment, discussion and concurrence before
they are put into effect. Such procedures shall include, without limitation: (i)
communication between Producer and IID's electric system dispatcher with regard
to daily operating matters, (ii) billing and payments, (iii) specified equipment
tests, and (iv) operating matters which affect or may affect quality and
reliability of service to electric customers and continuity of deliveries to

EX-10.3.29 12th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 12th
14. METERS
------

14.1 All meters shall be sealed and the seal shall be broken only upon
occasions when the meters are to be inspected, tested or adjusted.

14.2 IID shall inspect and test all meters upon their installation and
at least once every year thereafter. If requested to do so by Producer, IID
shall inspect or test a meter more frequently than every year, but the expense
of such inspection or test shall be paid by Producer unless the meter is found
to register inaccurately by more than two percent (2%) from the measurement made
by a standard meter. Each Party shall give reasonable notice to the other Party
of the time when any inspection or test shall take place and that Party may have
representatives present at the test or inspection. If a meter is found to be
inaccurate or defective, it shall be adjusted, repaired or replaced in order to
provide accurate metering. All adjustments due to inaccurate meters shall be
limited to the preceding six (6) months.

14.3 If a meter fails to register, or if the measurement made by a
meter during a test varies by more than two percent (2%) from the measurement
made by the standard meter used in the test, adjustment shall be made correcting
all measurements made by the inaccurate meter for:

(i) the actual period during which inaccurate measurements were
made, if the period can be determined, or if not,

(ii) the period immediately preceding the test of the meter equal

to one-half (1/2) the time from the date of the last previous
test of the meter; provided, however, that the period covered
by the correction shall not exceed six (6) months.

14.4 Producer shall telemeter information to IID's Dispatch Center
regarding the kilowatts, kilowatt-hours, kilovars and kilovar-hours delivered to
or received from IID at the Point of Delivery over phone line leased by
Producer.

EX-10.3.29 13th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 13th
IID shall purchase, own, and shall design, install, operate, maintain, or
cause to be designed, installed, operated, and maintained, equipment to
automatically transmit from the Plant to IID's Dispatch Center continuous values
of Plant output expressed as megawatts, megavars and megawatt-hours. IID may
thereupon bill and Producer shall promptly pay IID's cost of design, purchase
and installation of said equipment. Producer shall have the right to audit IID's
records and accounts to verify the cost of said equipment.

15. CONTINUITY OF SERVICE
---------------------

IID shall not be obligated to accept and IID may require Producer to
temporarily curtail, interrupt or reduce deliveries of energy upon advance
notice to Producer, when such curtailment, interruption or reduction is required
in order for IID to construct, install, maintain, repair, replace, remove,
investigate or inspect any of its equipment or any part of its system or if IID
determines that such curtailment, interruption or reduction is necessary because
of a System Emergency, forced outages or abnormal operating conditions on its
system. IID shall use reasonable efforts to keep interruptions and curtailments
to a minimum time.

16. LIABILITY
---------

16.1 Except for any loss, damage, claim, costs, charge or expense
resulting from Willful Action, neither Party (the "released Party"), its
directors or other governing body, officers or employees shall be liable to the
other Party for any loss, damage, claim, cost, charge, or expense of any kind or
nature incurred by the other Party (including direct, indirect or consequential
loss, damage, claim, cost, charge or expense; and whether or not resulting from
the negligence of a Party, its directors or other governing body, officers,
employees or any person or entity whose negligence would be imputed to a Party)
from engineering, repair, supervision, inspection, testing, protection,
operation, maintenance, replacement, reconstruction, use or ownership of the

EX-10.3.29 14th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 14th
released Party's electrical system, Plant(s) or associated facilities in
connection with the implementation of this Agreement. Except for any loss,
damage, claim, cost, charge or expense resulting from Willful Action, each Party
releases the other Party, its directors or other governing body, officers and
employees from any such liability.

16.2 For the purpose of this Section 16, Willful Action shall be
defined as action taken or not taken by a Party at the direction of its
directors or other governing body, officers or employees having management or
administrative responsibility affecting its performance under this Agreement, as
follows:

16.2.1 Action which is knowingly or intentionally taken or not taken
with conscious indifference to the consequences thereof or with intent that
injury or damage would result or would probably result therefrom.

16.2.2 Action which has been determined by final arbitration award or
final judgment or judicial decree to be a material default under this Agreement
and which occurs or continues beyond the time specified in such arbitration
award or judgment or judicial decree for curing such default or, if no time to
cure is specified therein, occurs or continues thereafter beyond a reasonable
time to cure such default.

16.2.3 Action which is knowingly or intentionally taken or not taken
with the knowledge that such action taken or not taken is a material default
under this Agreement.

16.3 Willful Action does not include any act or failure to act which
is merely involuntary, accidental or negligent.

16.4 The phrase "employees having management or administrative
responsibility," as used in Section 16.2, means the employees of a Party who are
responsible for one or more of the

EX-10.3.29 15th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 15th
executive functions of planning, organizing, coordinating, directing,
controlling and supervising such Party's performance under this Agreement with
responsibility for results.

16.5 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, each
Party agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless the other Party, its
officers, agents, or employees against all losses, claims, demands, costs or
expenses for loss of or damage to property, or injury or death of persons, which
directly or indirectly arise out of the indemnifying Party's performance
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party shall be solely
responsible for any such losses, claims, demands, costs or expenses which result
from its sole negligence or Willful Action.

17. UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES
---------------------

Neither Party shall be considered to be in default in the performance of
any of its obligations under this Agreement when a failure of performance shall
be due to an uncontrollable force. The term "uncontrollable force" shall mean
any cause beyond the control of the Party affected including, but not restricted
to, failure of or threat of failure of facilities which have been maintained in
accordance with generally-accepted engineering and operating practices in the
electrical utility industry, flood, drought, earthquake, tornado, storm fire,
pestilence, lightning and other natural catastrophes, epidemic, war, riot, civil
disturbance or disobedience, strike, labor dispute, labor or material shortage,
sabotage, government priorities and restraint by court order or public authority
(whether valid or invalid) and actions or nonaction by or inability to obtain or
keep the necessary authorizations or approvals from any governmental agency or
authority, which by exercise of due diligence such Party could not reasonably
have been expected to avoid and which by exercise of due diligence it has been
unable to overcome. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as to require a
Party to settle any strike or labor dispute in which it may be

EX-10.3.29 16th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 16th
involved. Either Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under
this Agreement by reason of an uncontrollable force shall give prompt written
notice of such fact to the other Party and shall exercise due diligence to
remove such inability with all reasonable dispatch.

18. INTEGRATION AND AMENDMENTS
--------------------------

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties
relating to the interconnection of Producer's Plant to IID's electric system,
the acceptance of energy by IID from Producer and the providing of electric
service by IID. No oral agreement or prior written agreement between the Parties
shall be of any effect whatsoever; provided, however, that any arrangements
agreed upon by the Authorized Representatives within the limits of their
authority, and consistent with this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties.
All changes to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be signed by an
officer of each Party.

19 NON-WAIVER
----------

None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be considered waived by
either Party except when such waiver is given in writing. The failure of either
Party to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any of
the provisions of this Agreement or to take advantage of any of its rights
hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provisions or the
relinquishment of any such rights for the future; but the same shall continue
and remain in full force and effect.

20. NO DEDICATION OF FACILITIES
---------------------------

Any undertaking by one Party to the other Party under any provision of
this Agreement shall not constitute the dedication of the system or any portion
thereof by the Party to the public or to the other Party, and it is understood
and agreed that any such undertaking under any

EX-10.3.29 17th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 17th
provision of this Agreement by a Party shall cease upon the termination of its
obligations hereunder.

----------------------

21.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of the Parties.

21.2 This Agreement may be assigned by Producer only (i) to a
purchaser or co-owner of the Plant or to a person who will operate the Plant
pursuant to a contract or other arrangement with such purchaser and in either
case with the prior written consent of IID (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) or (ii) for security purposes, to a bank or other entity which
provides financing for the Plant or any electrical transmission facilities
associated therewith. Producer and IID agree that nothing in this Section 21.2
may be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of each and
every Party to the Funding and Construction Agreement (except for any Parties in
default thereunder.)

Authorized Representatives shall be settled by arbitration to the extent
permitted by the laws applicable to the Parties; provided,

EX-10.3.29 18th Page of 21 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 18th

24.3 Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the written notice
demanding arbitration the Parties acting through their Authorized
Representatives shall meet for the purpose of selecting an arbitrator. The
Parties may agree upon a singe arbitrator, but in the event that they cannot
agree, three arbitrators shall be used. Each Party shall designate one
arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall then select a third arbitrator. All
arbitrators hall be persons skilled and experienced in the field in which the
dispute has arisen and no person shall be eligible for appointment as an
arbitrator who is or has been an officer or employee of either of the Parties or
otherwise interested in the matter to be arbitrated. Should either party refuse

such information. The arbitrators shall have no authority to call for
information not related to the issues included in the dispute or to determine
other issues not in dispute.

24.6 If there is only one arbitrator, his decision shall be binding
and conclusive on the Parties. If there are three arbitrators, the decision of
any two shall be binding and conclusive. The decision of the arbitrators shall
contain findings regarding the issues involved in the dispute, including the
merits of the positions of the Parties, the materiality of any default, and the
remedy or relief to which a Party shall be entitled. The arbitrators may not
grant any remedy or relief which is inconsistent with this Agreement, nor shall
be arbitrators make findings or decide issues not in dispute.

24.7 The fees and expenses of the arbitrators shall be shared equally
by the Parties, unless the decision of the arbitrators specifies some other
apportionment. All other expenses and costs of the arbitration shall be borne by
the Party incurring such expenses and costs.
