such idle Interconnection Facilities at any time to serve other customers or to
interconnect with other electric power sources. Edison shall process requests
for changes of operating option in the chronological order received.

         5.2.1 When the Seller wishes to reserve Interconnection Facilities paid
for by the Seller but idled by a change in operation option, Edison shall impose
a special facilities charge related to the operation and maintenance of the
Interconnection Facility. When the Seller no longer needs said facilities for
which it has paid, the Seller shall receive credit for the net salvage value of
the Interconnection Facilities dedicated to Edison's use. If Edison is able to
make use of these facilities to serve other customers, the Seller shall receive
the fair market value of the facilities determined as of the date the Seller
either decides no longer to use said facilities or fails to pay the required
maintenance fee.

6.  INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES
    --------------------------

         6.1 The Parties shall execute an Interconnection Facilities Agreement
selected by Seller in Section 1.10, covering the design, installation, operation

Section 9.1.2.2, Seller shall be paid a Monthly Capacity Payment, beginning from
the date of Firm Operation equal to the sum of the on-peak, mid-peak, and
off-peak Capacity Period Payments. Each capacity period payment is calculated
pursuant to the following formula:

               MONTHLY CAPACITY PAYMENT = A x B x C x D

               Where A = Contract Capacity Price specified in Section 1.11 based
                         on the Standard Offer No. 2 Capacity Payment Schedule

                         Maintenance Hours Allowed in Section 4.5.)

               9.1.2.2 Performance Requirements

               To receive the Monthly Capacity Payment in Section 9.1.2.1,
Seller shall provide the Contract Capacity in each Peak Month for all on-peak
hours as such peak hours are defined in Edison's Tariff Schedule No. TOU-8 on
file with the Commission, except that Seller is entitled to a 20% allowance for
Forced Outages for each Peak Month. Seller shall not be subject to such
performance requirements for the remaining hours of the year.

                    a.   If Seller fails to meet the requirements specified in
                         Section 9.1.2.2, Seller, in Edison's sole discretion,
                         may be placed on probation for a period not to exceed
                         13 months. If Seller fails to meet the requirements
                         specified in Section 9.1.2.2 during the probationary
                         period, Edison may derate the Contract Capacity to the
                         greater of the capacity actually delivered during the
                         probationary period, or the capacity at which Seller
                         can reasonably meet such requirements. A reduction in
                         Contract Capacity as a result of this Section 9.1.2.2
                         shall be subject to Section 9.1.2.5.

                    b.   If Seller fails to meet the requirements set forth in
                         Section 9.1.2.2 due to a Forced Outage on the Edison
                         system or a request to reduce or curtail delivery under
                         Section 9.4. Edison shall continue Monthly Capacity
                         Payments pursuant to Capacity Payment Option B. The
                         Contract Capacity curtailed shall be

                         the calculation of the Monthly Capacity Payment.

               9.1.2.3 If Seller is unable to provide Contract Capacity due to
Uncontrollable Forces, Edison shall continue Monthly Capacity Payments for 90
days from the occurrence of the Uncontrollable Force. Monthly Capacity Payments
payable during a period of interruption or reduction by reason of an
Uncontrollable Force shall be treated the same as scheduled maintenance outages.

               9.1.2.4 Capacity Bonus Payment For Capacity Payment Option B,
Seller may receive a Capacity Bonus Payment as follows:

                    a.   Bonus During Peak Months -- For a Peak Month, Seller
                         shall receive a Capacity Bonus Payment if (i) the
                         requirements set forth in Section 9.1.2.2 have been
                         met, and (ii) the on-peak capacity factor exceeds 85%.

                    b.   Bonus During Non-Peak Months -- For a non-peak month,
                         Seller shall receive a Capacity Bonus Payment if (i)
                         the requirements set forth in Section 9.1.2.2 have been
                         met, (ii) the on-peak capacity factor for each Peak
                         Month during the year was at least 85%, and (iii) the
                         on-peak capacity factor for the non-peak month exceeds
                         85%.

                    c.   For any eligible month, the Capacity Bonus Payment
                         shall be calculated as follows:

               CAPACITY BONUS PAYMENT = A x B x C x D

               Where A = (1.2 On-Peak Capacity Factor) - 1.02

               Where the On-Peak Capacity Factor, not to exceed 1.0, is
calculated as follows:

                    Period kWh purchased by Edison limited by the level of
                    Contract Capacity

                    d.   When Seller is entitled to receive a Capacity Bonus
                         Payment, the Monthly Capacity Payment shall be the sum
                         of the Monthly Capacity Payment pursuant to Section
                         9.1.2.1 and the Monthly Capacity Bonus Payment pursuant
                         to this Section.

                    e.   For Capacity Payment Option B, Seller shall be paid for
                         capacity in excess of Contract Capacity based on the
                         as-available capacity price in Standard Offer No. 1
                         Capacity Payment Schedule, as updated and approved by
                         the Commission. Seller shall not receive any
                         as-available capacity payment in excess of Contract
                         Capacity if Sellers Generating Facility is a small
                         hydro project.

               9.1.2.5 Capacity Reduction

                    a.   Seller may reduce the Contract Capacity specified in
                         Section 1.5, provided that Seller gives Edison prior
                         written notice for a period determined by the amount of
                         Contract Capacity reduced as follows:

                                Amount of Contract                Length of
                                 Capacity Reduced              Notice Required
                                 ----------------              ---------------

                                25,000 kW or under                12 months

                                25,001 - 50,000 kW                36 months

                                50,001 - 100,000 kW               48 months

                                  over 100,000 kW                 60 months

                    b.   Subject to Section 10.4, Seller shall refund to Edison
                         with interest at the current published Federal Reserve
                         Board three months prime commercial paper rate an
                         amount equal to the difference between (i) the
                         accumulated Monthly Capacity Payments paid by Edison
                         pursuant to Capacity Payment Option B up to the time
                         the reduction notice is received by Edison, and (ii)
                         the total capacity payments which Edison would have
                         paid if based on the Adjusted Capacity Price.

                    c.   From the date the reduction notice is received to the
                         date of actual capacity reduction, Edison shall make
                         capacity payments based on the Adjusted Capacity Price
                         for the amount of Contract Capacity being reduced.

                    d.   Seller may reduce Contract Capacity without the notice
                         prescribed in Section 9.1.2.5(a), provided that Seller
                         shall refund to Edison the amount specified in Section
                         9.1.2.5(b) and an amount equal to: (i) the amount of
                         Contract Capacity being reduced, times (ii) the
                         difference between the Current Capacity Price and the
                         Contract Capacity Price, times (iii) the number of
                         years and fractions thereof (not less than one year) by
                         which the Seller has been deficient in giving
                         prescribed notice. If the Current Capacity Price is
                         less than the Contract Capacity Price, only payment
                         under Section 9.1.2.5(b) shall be due to Edison.

               9.1.2. Adjustment to Contract Capacity. The Parties may agree in
writing at any time to adjust the Contract Capacity. Seller may reduce the
Contract Capacity pursuant to Section 9.1.2.5. Seller may increase the Contract
Capacity with Edison's approval and thereafter receive payment for the increased
capacity in accordance with the Contract Capacity Price for the Capacity Payment
Option selected by Seller for the remaining Contract Term.

         9.2 Energy Payments - First Period

         During the First Period of the Contract Term, Seller shall be paid a
Monthly Energy Payment for the Energy delivered by the Seller to Edison at the
Point of Interconnection pursuant to the Energy Payment Option selected by
Seller in Section 1.12, as follows. (Data used to derive Edison's Energy
payments for the First Period will be made available to the Seller, to the
extent specified by Seller, upon request.)

               9.2.1 Energy Payment Option 1 -- Forecast of Annual Marginal Cost
of Energy. If Seller selects Energy Payment Option 1, then during the First
Period of the Contract Term, Seller shall be paid a Monthly Energy Payment for
Energy delivered by Seller and purchased by Edison during each month in the
First Period of the Contract Term pursuant to the following formula:

               MONTHLY ENERGY PAYMENT = (A x D) + (B x D) + (C x D)

                         (i) the appropriate time differentiated energy price
                         from the Forecast of Annual Marginal Cost of Energy,
                         multiplied by the decimal equivalent of the percentage
                         of the forecast specified in Section 1.12, and (ii) the
                         appropriate time differentiated energy price from
                         Edison's published avoided cost of energy multiplied by
                         the decimal equivalent of the percentage of the
                         published energy price specified in Section 1.12.

                     9.2.2 Energy Payment Option 2 -- Levelized Forecast of
Marginal Cost of Energy. If Seller selects Energy Payment Option 2, then during
the First Period of the Contract Term, Seller shall be paid a Monthly Energy
Payment for Energy delivered by Seller and purchased by Edison each month during
the First Period of the Contract Term pursuant to the following formula:

MONTHLY ENERGY PAYMENT = (A x D) + (B x D) + (C x D)

               Where A = kWh purchased by Edison during on-peak periods defined

                         of the published energy price specified in Section
                         1.12.

               9.2.2.1 Performance Requirement for Energy Payment Option 2

               During the First Period when the annual forecast referred to in
Section 9.2.1 is greater than the levelized forecast referred to in Section
9.2.2, Seller shall deliver to Edison at least 70 percent of the average annual
kWh delivered to Edison during those previous periods when the levelized
forecast referred to in Section 9.2.2 is greater than the annual forecast
referred to in Section 9.2.1 as resource conditions permit for solar, wind, and
hydro Generating Facilities and excluding uncontrollable forces. If Seller does
not meet the performance requirements of this Section 9.2.2.1, Seller shall be
subject to Section 9.5.

         9.3 Energy Payments - Second Period

         During the Second Period of the Contract Term, Seller shall be paid a
Monthly Energy Payment for Energy delivered by Seller and purchased by Edison at
a rate equal to 100% of Edison's published avoided cost of energy based on
Edison's full avoided operating cost as updated periodically and accepted by the
Commission, pursuant to the following formula:

MONTHLY ENERGY PAYMENT = kWh purchased by Edison for each on-peek, mid-peak, and
                         off-peak time period defined in Edison's Tariff
                         Schedule No. TOU-8
                       x Edison's published avoided cost of energy by time of
                         delivery for each time period.

         Data used to derive Edison's full avoided costs will be made available
to the Seller, to the extent specified by Seller, upon request.

         9.4 Edison shall not be obligated to accept or pay for Energy, and may
request Seller whose Generating Facility is one (l) MW or greater to discontinue
or reduce delivery of Energy, for not more than 300 hours annually during
off-peak hours when (i) purchases would result in costs greater than those which
Edison would incur if it did not purchase Energy from Seller but instead
utilized an equivalent amount of Energy generated from another Edison source, or
(ii) the Edison Electric System demand would require that Edison hydro-energy be
spilled to reduce generation.

         9.5 Energy Payment Refund

         If Seller elects Energy Payment option 2, Seller shall be subject to
the following:

               9.5.1 If Seller fails to perform the Contract obligations for any
reason during the First Period of the Contract Term, or fails to meet the
performance requirements set forth in Section 9.2.2.1, and at the time of such
failure to perform, the net present value of the cumulative Energy payments
received by Seller pursuant to Energy Payment Option 2 exceeds the net present
value of what Seller would have been paid pursuant to Energy Payment Option 1,
Seller shall make an energy payment refund equal to the difference in such net
present values in the year in which the refund is due. The present value
calculation shall be based upon the rate of Edison's incremental cost of capital
specified in Section 1.12.

               9.5.2 Not less than 90 days prior to the date Energy is first
delivered to the Point of Interconnection, Seller shall provide and maintain a
performance bond, surety bond, performance insurance, corporate guarantee, or
bank letter of credit, satisfactory to Edison, which shall insure payment to
Edison of the Energy Payment Refund at any time during the First Period. Edison
may, in its sole discretion accept another form of security except that in such
instance a 1-1/2 percent reduction shall then apply to the levelized forecast
referred to in Section 9.2.2 in computing payments for Energy. Edison shall be
provided with certificates evidencing Seller's compliance with the security
requirements in this Section which shall also include the requirement that
Edison be given 90 days prior written notice of the expiration of such security.

               9.5.3 If Seller fails to provide replacement security not less
than 60 days prior to the date of expiration of existing security, the Energy
Payment Refund provided in Section 9.5 shall be payable forthwith. Thereafter,
payments for Energy shall be 100 percent of the Monthly Energy Payment provided
in Section 9.2.1.

               9.5.4 If Edison at any time determines the security to be
otherwise inadequate, and so notifies Seller, payments thereafter for Energy
shall be 100 percent of the Monthly Energy Payment provided in Section 9.2.1. If
within 30 days of the date Edison gives notice of such inadequacies, Seller
satisfies Edison's security requirements, Energy Payment Option 2 shall be
reinstated. If Seller fails to satisfy Edison's security requirements within the
30-day period, the Energy Payment Refund provided in Section 9.5 shall be
payable forthwith.

         13.3 The provisions of this Section 13 shall not be construed so as to
relieve any insurer of its obligations to pay any insurance claims in accordance
with the provisions of any valid insurance policy.

         13.4 Neither Party shall be indemnified under this Section 13 for its
liability or loss resulting from its sole negligence or willful misconduct.

         14. INSURANCE
             ---------

         14.1 Until Contract is terminated, Seller shall obtain and maintain in
force as hereinafter provided comprehensive general liability insurance,
including contractual liability coverage, with a combined single limit of (i)
not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence for Generating Facilities 100 kW or
greater; (ii) not less than $500,000 for each occurrence for Generating
Facilities between 20 kW and 100 kW; and (iii) not less than $l00,000 for each
occurrence for Generating Facilities less than 20 kW. The insurance carrier or
carriers and form of policy shall be subject to review and approval by Edison.

         l4.2 Prior to the date Sellers Generating Facility is first operated in
parallel with Edison's electric system, Seller shall (i), furnish certificate of
insurance to Edison, which certificate shall provide that such insurance shall
not be terminated nor expire except on thirty days prior written notice to
Edison, (ii) maintain such insurance in effect for so long as Seller's
Generating Facility is operated in parallel with Edison's electric system, and
(iii) furnish to Edison an additional insured endorsement with respect to such
insurance in substantially the following form:

               "In consideration of the premium charged, Southern California
               Edison Company (Edison) is named as additional insured with
               respect to all liabilities arising out of Sellers use and
               ownership of Seller's Generating Facility."

EX-10.3.16 34th Page of 67 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 34th
               "The inclusion of more than one insured under this policy shall
               not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another
               insured and the coverages afforded by this policy will apply as
               though separate policies had been issued to each insured. The
               inclusion of more than one insured will not, however, operate to
               increase the limit of the carrier's liability. Edison will not,
               by reason. of its inclusion under this policy, incur liability to
               the insurance carrier for payment of premium for this policy."

               "Any other insurance carried by Edison which may be applicable
               shall be deemed excess insurance and Seller's insurance primary
               for all purposes despite any conflicting provisions in Seller's
               policy to the contrary."

         If the requirement of Section 14.2(iii) prevents Seller from obtaining
the insurance required in Section 14.1 then upon written notification by Seller
to Edison, Section 14.2(iii) shall be waived.

         14.3 The requirements of this Section 14 shall not apply to Seller who
is a self-insured governmental agency with established record of self-insurance.

         l4.4 If Seller fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 14,
Seller shall, at its own cost, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Edison, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, assigns, and successors in interest from
and against any and all loss, damage, claim, cost, charge, or expense of any
kind or nature (including direct, indirect or consequential loss, damage, claim,
cost, charge, or expense, including attorneys' fees and other costs of
litigation) resulting from the death or injury to any person or damage to any
property, including the personnel and property of Edison, to the extent that
Edison would have been protected had Seller complied with all of the provisions
of this Section 14.

         15.  UNCONTROLLABLE FORCE
              --------------------

         15.1 Neither Party shall be considered to be in default in the
performance of any of the agreements contained in this Contract, except for
obligations to pay money, when and to the extent failure of performance shall be
caused by an Uncontrollable Force.

         15.2 If either Party because of an Uncontrollable Force is rendered
wholly or partly unable to perform its obligations under this Contract, the
Party shall be excused from whatever performance is affected by the
Uncontrollable Force to the extent so affected provided that:

                                       33

EX-10.3.16 35th Page of 67 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 35th
         (1) the nonperforming Party, within two weeks after the occurrence of
the Uncontrollable Force, gives the other Party written notice describing the
particulars of the occurrence,

         (2) the suspension of performance is of no greater scope and of no
longer duration than is required by the Uncontrollable Force,

         (3) the nonperforming Party uses its best efforts to remedy its
inability to perform (this subsection shall not require the settlement of any
strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms which, in the sole
judgment of the Party involved in the dispute, are contrary to its interest. It
is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes, walkouts, lockouts or
other labor disputes shall be at the sole discretion of the Party having the
difficulty),

         (4) when the nonperforming Party is able to resume performance of its
obligations under this Contract, that Party shall give the other Party written
notice to that effect, and

         (5) capacity payments during such periods of Uncontrollable Force, on
Seller's part shall be governed by Section 9.1.2.3.

         15.3 In the event that either Party's ability to perform cannot be
corrected when the Uncontrollable Force is caused by the actions or inactions of
legislative, judicial or regulatory agencies or other proper authority, this
Contract may be amended to comply with the legal or regulatory change which
caused the nonperformance.

         If a loss of Qualifying Facility status occurs due to an Uncontrollable
Force and Seller fails to make the changes necessary to maintain its Qualifying
Facility status, the Seller shall compensate Edison for any economic detriment
incurred by Edison as a result of such failure.

         16. NONDEDICATION OF FACILITIES
             ---------------------------

         Neither Party, by this Contract, dedicates any part of its facilities

E.   Allocation of the Company's Existing Line Capacity. (Continued)

     1.   (Continued)

          d.   For a Producer that signs a Uniform Standard Offer No. 1 power
               purchase agreement, entitlement to existing capacity on the
               Company's transmission and/or distribution system and a priority
               to such line capacity will be established as of the date the
               Producer pays the project fee and provides information for and
               pays the cost of the Preliminary Interconnection study or the
               Interconnection Study pursuant to its agreement. Such a Producer
               must thereafter not default in performance of its agreement or it
               shall lose its entitlement to line capacity.

     2.   Where existing line capacity is allocated to a producer, the Producer
          shall incur no obligation for costs associated with future line
          upgrades needed to accommodate other producers or customers. If two or
          more producers establish priority rights simultaneously, the producers
          shall share the costs of any additional line upgrade necessary to
          facilitate their cumulative capacity requirements. Costs shall be
          shared based on the relative proportion of capacity each producer will
          add to the line.

F.   Interconnection Reinforcement and/or Additions. The Company's effective
     tariffs governing interconnection costs and added or special facilities
     agreement shall be applied to line and system reinforcement and/or
     additions. In addition, the following shall apply:

     1.   A Producer shall pay for new or additional line capacity if necessary
          for the Company to receive the Producer's power.

     2.   The costs of any line reinforcement and/or addition undertaken at the
          option of the Company to serve additional future customers or
          Producers shall be borne by the Company.

     3.   The applicable Company tariff provisions shall be applied to a
          Producer who says for interconnection reinforcement and/or additions
          that later accommodate a second producer as those provisions which
          would be applied to a comparable Company's customer.

     4.   The Producer shall be responsible for the costs of only those future
          system alteration which are necessary to maintain the California
          Public Utilities Commission's adopted interconnection standards for
          the Producer's particular interconnection facilities. The relevant
          interconnection standards shall be those in affect at the time the
          contract is signed. Should such alterations not be directly required
          by, or beneficial to the Producer, the Producer shall be treated like
          any other customer on the Company's system.

G.   Metering.

     1.   If the producer desires to sell electric power to the Company, the
          Company shall provide, own and maintain at the Producer's expense all
          necessary meters and associated equipment to be utilized for the
          measurement of energy and capacity for determining the Company's
          payment to the Producer pursuant to an applicable agreement.

     2.   For purposes of monitoring generator operation and determination of
          standby charges, the Company shall have the right to install
          generation motoring at the Producer's expense. Where the Producer's
          generation is 10 kV or greater, telemetering equipment may also
          be required at the Producer's expense.

     3.   The Producer shall provide, at no expense to the Company, a suitable
          location for all meters and associated equipment in accordance with
          Rule No. 16.

     4.   Where necessary the Company and the Producer shall agree on an
          appropriate ___________________ method for transformer losses as
          specified in the agreement.

     5.   The Company shall install a patchat device so as to prevent reverse
          operation on the meter(s) recording power provided by the Company, and
          where appropriate in each of the following cases, on (i) the meter(s)
          recording reactive demand imposed on the Company's electric system,
          and (ii) the meter(s) recording power purchased by the Company.

        maintained by the Producer, the Producer shall be responsible for
        damages to the Company or to others arising out of the misoperation or
        malfunction of the Producer-owned equipment.

    4.  The Producer is solely responsible for providing adequate protection for
        the Producer's facilities interconnected with the Company's system.

C.  Design and Operating Requirements. Each generation facility which is or can
    be connected to the Company's electric system shall be designed and operated
    so as to prevent or protect against the following adverse conditions on the
    Company's system. These conditions can cause electric service degradation,
    equipment damage, or harm to persons:

    1.  Inadvertent and unwanted re-energization of a utility dead line or bus.

    2.  Interconnection while out of synchronization.

    3.  Overcurrent.

    4.  Utility system load imbalance.

    5.  Ground faults.

    6.  Generated alternating current frequency outside permitted safe limits.

    7.  Voltage generated outside permitted limits.

    8.  Poor power factor.

    9.  Harmful wave forms.

    The necessary protective equipment (relays, switchgear, transformers, etc.)
    can be provided by the Producer or by the Company.

    Explanatory information, operating rules and guidelines for meeting the
    above requirements for small (below 100 kW), medium (100-1000 kW), and large
    (above 1000 kW) facilities are contained in the Company's guidelines for
    cogenerators and small power producers. Copies of said guidelines are
    available from the Company.

D.  Interconnection Facilities.

    1.  Interconnection facilities include all required means, and apparatus
        installed, to interconnect the Producer's generation with the Company's
        system. Where the Producer desires to sell power to the Company,
        interconnection facilities include also all required means, and
        apparatus installed, to enable the Company to receive power deliveries
        from the Producer. Interconnection facilities may include, but are not
        limited to:

                     COGENERATION AND SMALL POWER PRODUCTION
                            INTERCONNECTION STANDARDS

                                  (Continued)

D.  Interconnection Facilities. (Continued)

        a.  Connection, transformation, switching, communications, control,
            protective and safety equipment; and

        b.  Any necessary reinforcements and additions to the Company's system
            by the Company.

    2.  Where interconnection facilities are to be installed for the Producer's
        use as added facilities, the Producer shall advance to the Company the
        installed cost of the added facilities. At the Producer's option, and
        share such Producer's generation is a qualifying facility and the
        Producer has established credit worthiness to the Company's
        satisfaction, the Company shall finance those added facilities it deems
        to be removable and reusable equipment. Such equipment shall include,
        but not be limited to, transformation, disconnection, and metering
        equipment. Added facilities provided under either of the foregoing
        arrangements are subject to the monthly charge as set forth in Section M
        of the Company's Rule No. 2. Description of Service, on file with and
        authorized by the Commission.

    3.  When a Producer wishes to reserve facilities paid for by the Producer,
        but idled by an energy sale conversion, the Company shall impose a
        special facilities charge reimbursing the Company for costs related to
        its operation and maintenance of the facility. When a Producer no
        longer needs facilities for which it has paid, the Producer shall, at
        a minimum, receive from the Company credit for the net salvage value
        of the facilities dedicated to Company use. If the Company is able to
        make use of these facilities to serve other customers, the Producer
        shall receive the fair market value of the facilities determined as of
        the date the Producer either decides no longer to use the facilities
        or fails to pay the required maintenance fee.

    4.  The Producer shall be responsible for the costs of exploring the
        feasibility of a project or its interconnection with the Company system,
        including reasonable advance charges imposed by the Company for
        feasibility studies.

    5.  An interconnection line study for any Producer shall take no more than
        one year to complete.

    6.  The Producer shall be responsible for costs of telemetering and safety
        checks except to the extent what, under the Company's effective tariffs,
        a comparable customer would not be similarly charged.

    7.  The Company shall, upon request, give the Producer a binding estimate
        for line extension and interconnection costs; however, such estimates
        shall be in effect for a period not to exceed one year from the date
        provided. A reasonable breakdown of cost estimates shall also be
        provided in a form sufficiently detailed and understandable by the
        Producer.

    8.  The Company shall have the right to inspect the Producer's
        interconnection facilities prior to the commencement of parallel
        operations and require modifications as necessary.

    9.  The site of interconnection facilities shall be accessible to Company
        personnel.

E.  Interconnection Reinforcement and/or Additions. The Company's effective
    tariffs governing interconnection costs and added or special facilities
    agreements shall be applied to line and system reinforcement and/or
    additions. In addition, the following shall apply:

    1.  A Producer shall pay for new or additional line capacity if necessary
        for the Company to receive the Producer's power.

    2.  The costs of any line reinforcement and/or addition undertaken at the
        option of the Company to serve additional future customers or Producers
        shall be borne by the Company.

                                 Rule No. 21

                     COGENERATION AND SMALL POWER PRODUCTION
                           INTERCONNECTION STANDARDS

                                  (Continued)

E.  Interconnection Reinforcement and/or Additions. (Continued)

    3.  For two or more Producers seeking to use an existing line, a first come,
        first served approach shall be used. This approach shall require that
        the first Producer to request an interconnection shall, pursuant to
        written agreement, have the right to use the existing line and shall
        incur no obligation for costs associated with future line capacity
        needed to accomodate other Producers or customers. The Company's
        Standard Offer and/or power purchase agreements for cogeneration and
        small power production facilities shall specify the date by which the
        Producer must begin construction. If that date passes and construction
        has not commenced, the Producer shall be given 30 days to correct the
        deficiency after receiving a reminder from the Company that the
        construction start-up date has passed. If construction has not
        commenced after the 30-day corrective period, the Company shall have
        the right to withdraw its commitment to the first Producer and offer
        the right to interconnect on the existing line to the next Producer in
        order. If two Producers establish the right of first-in-time
        simultaneously, the two Producers shall share the costs of any
        additional line capacity necessary to facilitate their cumulative
        capacity requirements. Costs shall be shared based on the relative
        proportion of capacity each producer will add to the line.

    4.  The applicable Company tariff provisions shall be applied to a Producer
        who pays for interconnection reinforcement and/or additions that later
        accomodate a second Producer as those provisions which would be applied
        to a comparable Company customer.

    5.  The Producer shall be responsible for the costs of only those future
        system alterations which are necessary to maintain the California Public
        Utilities Commission's adopted interconnection standards for the
        Producer's particular interconnection facilities. The relevant
        interconnection standards shall be those in effect at the time the
        contract is signed. Should such alterations not be directly required by,
        or beneficial to the Producer, the Producer shall be treated like any
        other customer on the Company's system.

F.  Metering.

    1.  If the Producer desires to sell electric power to the Company, the
        Company shall provide, own and maintain at the Producer's expense all
        necessary meters and associated equipment to be utilized for the
        measurement of energy and capacity for determining the Company's payment
        to the Producer pursuant to an applicable agreement.

    2.  For purposes of monitoring generator operation and determination of
        standby charges, the Company shall have the right to install generation
        metering at the Producer's expense. Where the Producer's generation is
        10 kW or greater, telemetering equipment may also be required at the
        Producer's expense.

    3.  The Producer shall provide at no expense to the Company, a suitable
        location for all meters and associated equipment in accordance with Rule
        No. 16.

    4.  Where necessary the Company and the Producer shall agree on an
        appropriate compensation method for transformer losses as specified in
        the agreement.

    5.  The Company shall install a ratchet device so as to prevent reverse
        operation on the meter(s) recording power provided by the Company, and
        where appropriate in each of the following cases on, (i) the meter(s)
        recording reactive demand imposed on the Company's electric system, and
        (ii) the meter(s) recording power purchased by the Company.

    6.  Provision for meter tests and adjustments of bills or payments to the
        Producer for meter error shall be consistent with Rule No. 17.

                                  (Continued)

SPECIAL CONDITIONS (Continued)

    3.  Maximum Demand: Maximum demands shall be established for the on-peak,
        mid-peak, and off-peak periods. The maximum demand for each period shall
        be the measured maximum average kilowett input indicated or recorded by
        instruments to be supplied by the Company, during any 15-minute metered
        interval, but (except for new customers or existing customers electing
        Contract Demand as defined in these Special Conditions) not less than
        the diversified resistance welder load computed in accordance with the
        section designated Welder Service in Rule No. 2. Where the demand is
        intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations, a 5-minute interval may
        be used.

    4.  Billing Demand: Separate billing demands for the on-peak, mid-peak, and
        off-peak time periods shall be established for each monthly billing
        period. The billing demand for each time period shall be the maximum
        demand for that time period occurring during the respective monthly
        billing period. The billing demand shall be determined to the nearest
        kW.

    5.  Contract Demand: A contract demand will be established by the Company,
        based on applicant's demand requirements for any customer newly
        requesting service on this schedule and for any customer of record on
        this schedule who requests an increase or decrease in transformer
        capacity in accordance with Rule No. 12 D. A contract demand arrangement
        is available upon request for all customers of record on this schedule.
        The contract demand will be used only for purposes of establishing the
        minimum demand charge for facilities required to provide service under
        the rate and will not be otherwise used for billing purposes. Contract
        demand is based upon the nominal kilovolt-ampere rating of the Company's
        serving transformer(s) or the standard transformer size determined by
        the Company as required to serve the customer's stated measurable
        kilowatt demand, whichever is less and is expressed in kilowatts.

    6.  Minimum Demand Charge: Where a contract demand is established, the
        monthly minimum demand charge shall be $1.00 per kilowatt of contract
        demand.

    7.  Excess Transformer Capacity: The transformer capacity in excess of a
        customer's contract demand which is either required by the Company
        because of the nature of the customer's load or requested by the
        customer. Excess transformer capacity shall be billed at $1.00 per kVA
        per month.

    8.  Voltage Discount: The charges before adjustments will be reduced by 6%
        for service delivered and metered at voltages of from 2 kV through 50 kV
        and by 15% for service delivered and metered at voltages over 50 kV.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS (Continued)

    9.  Power Factor Adjustment:

        a.  Service Deliverd and Metered at 4 kV or Greater:
            The charges will be adjusted each month for reactive demand. The
            charges will be increased by 20 cents per kilovar of maximum
            reactive demand imposed on the Company in excess of 20% of the
            maximum number of kilowatts.

            The maximum reactive demand shall be the highest measured maximum
            average kilovar demand indicated or recorded by metering to be
            supplied by the Company during any 15-minute metered interval in the
            month. The kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A
            device will be installed on each kilovar meter to prevent reverse
            operation of the meter.

        b.  Service Delivered and Metered at Less than 4 kV:
            The charges will be adjusted each month for the power factor as
            follows:
            The charges will be decreased by 20 cents per kilowatt of measured
            maximum demand and will be increased by 20 cents per kilovar of
            reactive demand. However, in no case shall the kilovars used for the
            adjustment be less than one-fifth the number of kilowatts.

            The kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying
            the kilowatts of measured maximum demand by the ratio of the
            kilovar-hours to the kilowatthours. Demands in kilowatts and
            kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A ratchet device
            will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse
            operation on leading power factors.

    10. Temporary Discontinuance of Service: Where the use of energy is seasonal
        or intermittent, no adjustments will be made for a temporary
        discontinuance of service. Any customer prior to resuming service within
        twelve months after such service was discontinued will be required to
        pay all charges which would have been billed if service had not been
        discontinued.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS (Continued)

    11. Supplemental Visual Demand Meter: Subject to availability, and upon
        written application by the customer, the Company will, within 180 days,
        supply and install a Company-owned supplemental visual demand meter. The
        customer shall provide the required space and associated wiring beyond
        the point of interconnection for such installation. Said supplemental
        visual demand meter shall be in parallel with the standard billing meter
        delineated in Special Condition 3 above. The readings measured or
        recorded by the supplemental visual demand meter are for customer
        information purposes only and shall not be used for billing purposes in
        lieu of meter readings established by the standard billing meter. If a
        meter having visual display capability is installed by Edison as the
        standard billing meter, no additional metering will be installed
        pursuant to this Special Condition.

        One of the following types of supplemental visual demand meters will be
        provided in accordance with provisions above at no additional cost to
        the customer: Dial Wattmeter, Recording Wattmeter, or Paper-Tape
        Printing Demand Meter.

        If the customer desires a supplemental visual demand meter having
        features not available in any of the above listed meters, such as an
        electronic microprocessor-based meter, the Company will provide such a
        supplemental visual demand meter subject to a monthly charge, if the
        meter and its associated equipment have been approved for use by the
        Company. Upon receipt from the customer of a written application the
        Company will design the installation and will thereafter supply,
        install, and maintain the supplemental visual demand meter subject to
        all conditions stated in the first and last paragraph of this Special
        Condition. For purposes of computing the monthly charge, any such
        supplemental visual demand meter and associated equipment shall be
        treated as Added Facilities in accordance with Rule No. 2, Paragraph H,
        Section 1 and 2 of the tariff rules. Added investment for computing the
        monthly charge shall be reduced by the Company's estimated total
        installed cost at the customer location of the Paper Tape Printing
        Demand Meter offered otherwise herein at no additional cost.

        The Company shall have sole access for purposes of maintenance and
        repair to any supplemental visual demand meter installed pursuant to
        this Special Condition and shall provide all required maintenance and
        repair. Periodic routine maintenance shall be provided at no additional
        cost to the customer. Such routine maintenance includes changing charts,
        inking pens, making periodic adjustments, lubricating moving parts and
        making minor repairs. Non-routine maintenance and major repairs or
        replacement shall be performed on an actual cost basis with the customer
        reimbursing the Company for such cost.

    12. Contracts: An initial three-year facilities contract may be required
        where applicant requires new or added serving capacity exceeding 2,000
        kVA.

    13. Steel Surcharge Adjustment: The rates above are subject to adjustment as
        provided in Part K of the Preliminary Statement, at a billing factor of
        0.026(cent) per kWh.

    14. Catalina Energy Cost Balance Adjustment: For service on Santa Catalina
        Island, the rates above are subject to adjustment as provided in Part C
        of the Preliminary Statement, at a billing factor of 2.593(cent) per
        kWh.
