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 ORMESA, IID shall inspect or test a meter more frequently than every year, but the expense of such inspection or test shall be paid by ORMESA 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 inspections. 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,
EX-10.3.2611th Page of 21TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
(ii) the period immediately preceding the test of the meter equal the 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 ORMESA shall telemeter information to IID's new 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 ORMESA. 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 new dispatch center continuous values of Plant output expressed as megawatts, megavars and megawatt-hours. IID may thereupon bill and ORMESA shall promptly pay IID's cost of design, purchase and installation of said equipment which cost is estimated to be $35,000.00. ORMESA 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 ORMESA to temporarily curtail, interrupt or reduce deliveries of energy upon advance notice to ORMESA, 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 of if IID determines that such curtailment, interruption or reduction is necessary because of a System Emergency, forces outages or abnormal operating conditions on its system. IID shall use reasonable efforts to
EX-10.3.2612th Page of 21TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
keep interruptions and curtailments to a minimum time. 16. LIABILITY 16.1 Neither Party shall hold the other Party, its officers, agents or employees liable for any loss, damage, claim, cost, or expense for loss of or damage to property, or injury or death of persons, which arises out of the first Party's ownership, operation or maintenance of facilities on its own side of the Point of Delivery, except as provided in Section 16.2. 16.2 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 or breach of or default under 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 misconduct. 17. UNCONTROLLABLE FORCE Neither Party shall be considered to be in default with respect to any obligation hereunder, other than the obligations to pay money, if prevented from fulfilling such obligation by reason of an uncontrollable force. The term "uncontrollable force" means any cause beyond the control of the Party affected, including, but not limited to, failure or threat of imminent failure of facilities, flood, earthquake, storm, lighting, fire, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance, sabotage and restraint by court or public authority, which by exercise of due diligence and foresight could not reasonably have been avoided. Whichever Party is rendered unable to fulfill any obligation by reason of uncontrollable forces 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. Nothing in this Agreement shall require a Party to settle any strike or labor dispute in which it is involved.

EX-10.3.2615th Page of 21TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
arbitrators shall then select a third arbitrator. All arbitrators shall 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 or neglect to appoint an arbitrator or to furnish the arbitrators with any papers or information demanded, the arbitrators are empowered, by both Parties, to proceed without the participation or assistance of that Party. 24.4 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the arbitration shall be governed by the rules and practices of the American Arbitration Association, or a similar organization if the American Arbitration Association should not at the time exist. 24.5 Arbitration proceedings shall be held in Imperial, California, at a time and place to be selected by the arbitrators.

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 the 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.
