Deliveries of Product may only be reinstated, at a time to be determined by Issuer, upon (i) payment in full by Project Participant of all amounts then due and payable under this Agreement and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by Issuer, payment in advance by Project Participant at the beginning of each Month of amounts estimated by Issuer to be due to Issuer for the future delivery of Product under this Agreement for such Month. Issuer may continue to require payment in advance from Project Participant after the reinstatement of Issuer’s supply services under this Agreement for such period of time as Issuer in its sole discretion may determine is appropriate. In addition, and without limiting any other provisions of or remedies available under this Agreement, if Project Participant fails to accept from Issuer any Product tendered for delivery under this Agreement, Issuer shall have the right to sell such Product to third parties on any terms that Issuer, in its sole discretion, determines are appropriate.

Without prejudice to any payment obligation in respect of periods prior to termination, no payments will be due from either Party in respect of periods occurring after the effective termination date of this Agreement.

Section 16.4 Termination of Prepaid Agreement. Project Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the event the Prepaid Agreement terminates prior to the end of the primary term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate on the effective date of early termination of the Prepaid Agreement (which date shall be the last date upon which deliveries are required thereunder, subject to all winding up arrangements) and (ii) Issuer’s obligation to deliver Product under this Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of deliveries of Product to Issuer under the Prepaid Agreement. Issuer shall provide notice to Project Participant of any early termination date of the Prepaid Agreement. The Parties recognize and agree that, in the event that the Prepaid Agreement terminates because of a Failed Remarketing (as defined in the Trust Indenture) of the Bonds that occurs in the first Month of a Reset Period, Issuer shall deliver Product under this Agreement for the remainder of such first Month, and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Monthly Discount or Annual Refunds shall be associated with such deliveries and the Contract Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

Section 17.17 Rate Changes.
(a) Standard of Review. Absent the agreement of the Parties to the proposed change, the standard of review for changes to any rate, charge, classification, term or condition of this Agreement, whether proposed by a Party (to the extent that any waiver in paragraph (b) of this Section 17.17 is unenforceable or ineffective as to such Party), a non-party or FERC acting sua sponte, shall solely be the “public interest” application of the “just and reasonable” standard of review set forth in United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Mobile Gas Service Corp., 350 U.S. 332 (1956) and Federal Power Commission v. Sierra Pacific Power Co., 350 U.S. 348 (1956) and clarified by Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. v. Public Util. Dist. No. 1 of Snohomish, 554 U.S. 527 (2008). (b) Waiver. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a) of this Section 17.17, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any rights it can or may have, now or in the future, whether under Section 205 and/or 206 of the Federal Power Act or otherwise, to seek to obtain from FERC by any means, directly or indirectly (through complaint, investigation or otherwise), and each hereby covenants and agrees not at any time to seek to so obtain, an order from FERC changing any section of this Agreement specifying the rate, charge, classification, or other term or condition agreed to by the Parties, it being the express intent of the Parties that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, neither Party shall unilaterally seek to obtain from FERC any relief changing the rate, charge, classification, or other term or condition of this Agreement, notwithstanding any subsequent changes in applicable Law or market conditions that may occur. In the event it were to be determined that applicable Law precludes the Parties from waiving their rights to seek changes from FERC to their market-based power sales contracts (including entering into covenants not to do so) then this Section 17.17(b) shall not apply, provided that, consistent with paragraph (a) of this Section 17.17, neither Party shall seek any such changes except solely under the “public interest” application of the “just and reasonable” standard of review and otherwise as set forth in such paragraph (a) of this Section 17.17.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Clean Energy Purchase Contract to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

FORM OF FEDERAL TAX CERTIFICATE
This Federal Tax Certificate is executed in connection with the Clean Energy Purchase Contract dated as of [_______], 20[__] (the “Clean Energy Purchase Contract”), by and between the California Community Choice Financing Authority (“Issuer”) and CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, a California joint powers authority (“Project Participant”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Clean Energy Purchase Contract, in the Tax Certificate and Agreement, or in the Trust Indenture.

WHEREAS Project Participant acknowledges that Issuer is issuing the Bonds to fund the prepayment price under the Prepaid Agreement; and
WHEREAS the Bonds are intended to qualify for tax exemption under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and
WHEREAS Project Participant’s use of Energy acquired pursuant to the Clean Energy Purchase Contract and certain funds and accounts of Project Participant will affect the Bonds’ qualification for such tax exemption.

NOW, THEREFORE, PROJECT PARTICIPANT HEREBY CERTIFIES AS FOLLOWS:

Project Participant is a joint powers authority and a community choice aggregator created and existing pursuant to the provisions of California law, organized under the laws of the State of California. As a community choice aggregator, the Project Participant is a load-serving entity providing electricity to customers within the boundaries of cities and/or counties that have elected to participate in Project Participant’s community choice aggregation program. For purposes of this Certificate, the term “service area” of the Project Participant means the boundaries of the cities and/or counties that have elected to participate in the Project Participant’s community choice aggregation program, as well as any other area recognized as the service area of the Project Participant under state or federal law.

Project Participant will resell all of the Energy acquired pursuant to the Clean Energy Purchase Contract to its retail Energy customers within its service area, with retail sales in all cases being made pursuant to regularly established and generally applicable tariffs.

From [____, ] to [____, __], the annual average amount of Energy purchased (other than for resale) by customers of Project Participant who are located within the service area of Project Participant is [________] MWh. Over the term of the Clean Energy Purchase Contract, the Project Participant expects the annual average amount of Energy purchased (other than for resale) by customers of the Project Participant who are located within the service area of the Project Participant to be at least [_____] MWh. The maximum annual amount of Energy in any year being acquired pursuant to the Clean Energy Purchase Contract is [_______] MWh. The annual average amount of Energy which Project Participant otherwise has a right to acquire as of the Closing Date

Agenda Page 278
D-2
Error! Unknown document property name.
(including rights to capacity to generate electricity, whether owned, leased or otherwise contracted for) is [________] MWh. The sum of (a) the maximum amount of Energy in any year being acquired pursuant to the Clean Energy Purchase Contract, and (b) the amount of Energy that Project Participant otherwise has a right to acquire (including rights to capacity to generate electricity, whether owned, leased or otherwise contracted for) in the year described in the foregoing clause (a), is [________] MWh. Accordingly, the amount of Energy to be acquired under the Clean Energy Purchase Contract by Project Participant, supplemented by the amount of Energy otherwise available to Project Participant as of the Closing Date, during any year does not exceed the sum of [___]% of the expected annual average amount of Energy to be purchased (other than for resale) by customers of Project Participant who are located within the service area of Project Participant;
In the event of the expiration or termination of an EPS Energy Period, Project Participant agrees to comply with its obligations in the Clean Energy Purchase Contract, including but not limited to its obligations to (a) exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign a portion of Project Participant’s rights and obligations under a power purchase agreement under which Project Participant is purchasing EPS Compliant Energy to JPMVEC pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and (b) cooperate in good faith with Issuer and JPMVEC with respect to any proposed assignments.

Project Participant expects to pay for Energy acquired pursuant to the Clean Energy Purchase Contract solely from Revenues derived from sales of Energy and other Product from its Enterprise (as each such term is defined in the Clean Energy Purchase Contract). Project Participant expects to use current Revenues to pay for current Energy acquisitions. Neither the Project Participant nor any person who is a related party to the Project Participant will hold any funds or accounts in which monies are invested and which are reasonably expected to be used to pay for Energy acquired more than one year after such monies are set aside. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used directly or indirectly to replace funds of Project Participant or any persons who are related Persons to Project Participant that are or were intended to be used for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Clean Power Alliance of Southern California (the “Project Participant”) in connection with the issuance by the California Community Choice Financing Authority (the “Issuer”) of its Clean Energy Project Revenue Bonds, Series 2025[_] (the “Bonds”).

This opinion is rendered pursuant to Section [__] of the Bond Purchase Contract, dated [____], 2025 (the “Bond Purchase Contract”), by and between [_________], as underwriter (the “Underwriter”) and the Issuer.

We have also reviewed copies of such records and other documents as we have deemed necessary and relevant for purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity of all original documents submitted to us as copies.

As to factual matters, we have relied solely upon our review of the foregoing, the representations and warranties of the Project Participant contained in the Project Participant Documents, the Preliminary Official Statement, the Official Statement, the joint powers agreement of the Project Participant, and various certificates and other documents furnished to us by authorized officers of the Project Participant. In basing the opinions set forth in this letter on “our knowledge”, the words “our knowledge” signify that, in the course of our representation, no facts have come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge or actual notice that any such opinions or other matters are not accurate. Except as otherwise stated in this opinion, we have undertaken no investigation or verification of such matters.

We are of the opinion that:

1. The Project Participant is a joint powers authority created and existing under the laws of the State of California (the “State”), specifically the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, constituting Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of the California Government Code, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Act”), and has full legal right, power and authority under the Act to (a) enter into, execute and deliver the Project Participant Documents, and (b) carry out and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Project Participant Documents.

2. By all necessary official action, the Project Participant has duly authorized all necessary action to be taken by it for (a) the adoption of the Project Participant Resolution, (b) the approval, execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Project Participant of the obligations on its part, contained in the Project Participant Documents, and (c) the consummation by it of all other transactions contemplated by the Preliminary Official Statement, the Official Statement and the Project Participant Documents.

3. The Project Participant Resolution was duly and validly adopted by the Project Participant in compliance with all applicable procedural requirements of the Project Participant and in compliance with the Act, and the Project Participant Resolution is in full force and effect and has not been amended.

4. The Project Participant Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Project Participant, and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Project Participant enforceable against the Project Participant in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other

similar laws and equitable principles of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

5. All authorizations, approvals, licenses, permits, consents and orders of any governmental authority, legislative body, board, agency or commission having jurisdiction of the matter which are required for the due authorization of, which would constitute a condition precedent to, or the absence of which would materially adversely affect the due performance by the Project Participant of its obligations under the Project Participant Documents have been obtained.

6. The execution and delivery of the Project Participant Documents and compliance by the Project Participant with the provisions thereof, under the circumstances contemplated therein, will not conflict with or constitute on the part of the Project Participant a material breach of or a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Project Participant is a party, or violate any existing law, administrative regulation, court order, or consent decree to which the Project Participant is subject.

7. To our knowledge, the statements contained in the Preliminary Official Statement as of its date and in the Official statement under the captions “INTRODUCTION – CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA,” “COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATORS,” in the second paragraph under the caption “LITIGATION,” and in Appendix A – “THE PROJECT PARTICIPANT” are true and correct in all material respects.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the foregoing opinion is expressly made subject to the following exceptions, qualifications, and assumptions:
(i) We express no opinion with respect to the validity or enforceability of any provisions of the Project Participant Documents or any other documents that maybe read to require the Project Participant to indemnify any party.

(iii) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions waiving, directly or indirectly, expressly or impliedly, defenses to obligations or rights granted by law, where such waivers are prohibited by law or are against public policy. (iv) Our opinion as to enforceability is limited by standards of good faith, fair dealing, materiality, and reasonableness that may be applied by a court to the exercise of certain rights and remedies; limitations based on statutes or on public policy limiting a person’s right to waive the benefit of statutory provisions or of a common law right; and limitations releasing a party from or indemnifying a party against liability for its own wrongful or negligent act when such release or indemnification is contrary to public policy.

Treasurer/Controller
California Community Choice Financing Authority
[email protected]
(415) 464-6037
From: Clean Power Alliance
Re: California Community Choice Financing Authority Prepay Transaction on behalf of Clean Power Alliance
Overview
The California Community Choice Financing Agency (“CCCFA” or the “Issuer”) seeks to procure a 30-year supply of energy from Pierpont Energy Prepay [__], LLC, through the issuance of Clean Energy Project Revenue Bonds (the "Bonds") issued by CCCFA. CCCFA will sell all the Prepaid Energy acquired from this transaction to Clean Power Alliance of Southern California (the “Project Participant”).

Rating Agency Fees and Green Bond Opinion Fee
Rating Agency Fees and expenses (“Rating Agency Fees”) are paid from the proceeds of the Bonds. However, unlike most of the other fees associated with the issuance of the Bonds, payment of the Rating Agency Fees is not contingent upon the issuance of the Bonds.

In the event the Bonds are not issued, and there remains a Rating Agency Fee payable to Moody’s Investors Service (the “Rating Agency” or “Moody’s”), the Project Participant agrees that it will be liable for the costs and make direct payment to Moody’s for such fees.

In the event a Green Bond Second Opinion is obtained, and the Bonds are not issued, the fee payable to the Green Bond Second Opinion provider (the “Green Bond Fees”) shall be incurred by the Project Participant and in such event, to the extent the Green Bond Fees were already paid by CCCFA, the Project Participant agrees to reimburse CCCFA.

The Custodian shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Custodian shall have no duty to solicit or compel any payments which may be due to it, or to take any action to compel JPMVEC or Project Participant to make the deposits required under Section 4. The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Custodian’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to any other Party hereto. In connection with the execution of any of its powers or the performance of any of its duties hereunder, the Custodian may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons selected and retained by it. The Custodian shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons, provided the Custodian exercised due care and good faith in the selection of such person. The permissive rights of the Custodian to take actions enumerated under this Agreement shall not be construed as duties. In the event that the Custodian shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any Party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the other Parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Custodian may interplead all of the assets held hereunder into a court of competent jurisdiction or may seek a declaratory judgment with respect to certain circumstances, and thereafter be fully relieved from any and all liability or obligation with respect to such interpleaded assets or any action or non-action based on such declaratory judgment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Custodian be liable for special, indirect, incidental or consequential, or punitive damages, losses or penalties of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), regardless of the form of action. The Custodian may engage and act through agents and attorneys and shall not be liable for the misconduct or negligence of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care. The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith in accordance with instruction received in accordance with this Agreement, or for the application of funds by other actions of omissions of other persons.

Provisional Payments Account, and the Custodian shall not be obliged to advance or risk its own funds to make any payments required hereunder. The Custodian shall have only those duties expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied duties shall be read into this Agreement against the Custodian. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Custodian is not a fiduciary by virtue of accepting and carrying out its obligations under this Agreement and has not accepted any fiduciary duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to its services hereunder.

The Custodian shall not be responsible for the perfection of any security interest granted hereunder.

Section 7. Succession. The Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving not less than 30 days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to the other Parties hereto specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect; and such resignation shall take effect upon the day specified in such notice unless a successor shall not have been appointed by the other Parties hereto on such date, in which event such resignation shall not take effect until a successor is appointed. The other Parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make such appointment in a timely fashion, provided that any custodian appointed in succession to the Custodian shall be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of any state or a national banking association and shall have capital stock, surplus and undivided earnings aggregating at least $50,000,000 and shall be a bank with trust powers or trust company willing and able to accept the office on reasonable and customary terms and authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Agreement. Any corporation or association into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all of the Custodian’s corporate trust line of business may be transferred, shall be the Custodian under this Agreement without further act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no appointment of a successor Custodian shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7 within 30 days after the Custodian has given written notice to the other Parties of its resignation as provided in this Section 7, the Custodian may, in its sole discretion, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Custodian. Said court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper, appoint a successor Custodian.

Section 8. Fees. JPMVEC agrees to pay the Custodian reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, which compensation shall be $[●] for each year that this Agreement is in effect. The parties hereto acknowledge that this provision shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9. Reimbursement. The Issuer, JPMVEC and Project Participant agree, jointly and severally (subject to the second proviso of this Section 9), to reimburse the Custodian and its directors, officers, agents and employees for any and all loss, liability or expense (including the fees and expenses of in-house or outside counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) arising out of or in connection with (a) the Custodian’s execution and performance this Agreement, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is finally adjudicated to have been primarily by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian or such director, officer, agent or employee seeking reimbursement, or (b) its following any instructions or other directions from the Issuer, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof; provided, however, that any amounts due under this Section 9 shall not duplicate any other amounts due under this Agreement, including without limitation amounts due under Section 15 hereof; provided

further, however, that, notwithstanding the joint and several nature of the obligations under this Section 9, any amounts due under clause (b) of this sentence resulting from instructions or directions that are not expressly provided for in this Agreement and are given to the Custodian by only one Party shall be the sole obligation of such Party. The Parties hereto acknowledge that this provision shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian or the termination of this Agreement.

In addition, any tax or other payments required to be made pursuant to such tax return or filing shall be paid by Project Participant. The Custodian shall have no responsibility for making such payment unless directed to do so in writing by the appropriate authorized Party and fully indemnified to the Custodian’s satisfaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may at any time notify the others that any notice, demand, statement or request to it must be provided by email transmissions for a specified period of time or until further notice, and any communications delivered by means other than email transmission during the specified period of time shall be ineffective. In the event that the Custodian, in its sole discretion, shall determine that an emergency exists, the Custodian may use such other means of communication as the Custodian deems appropriate. (b) The Custodian shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions or directions given pursuant to this Agreement, or any other document reasonably relating to the matters described herein, delivered using Electronic Means (defined below); provided, however, that each party giving directions to the Custodian hereunder shall provide to a Responsible Officer of the Custodian an incumbency certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, listing persons with the authority to provide such instructions or directions (each an “Authorized Officer”)

Agenda Page 324

If a party elects to give the Custodian directions or instructions using Electronic Means (defined below) and the Custodian in its discretion elects to act upon such directions, the Custodian’s understanding of such directions shall be deemed controlling. The parties understand and agree that the Custodian cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such directions and that the Custodian shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided by a party to a Responsible Officer of the Custodian have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The party giving such instructions shall be solely responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such directions to the Custodian and that all Authorized Officers treat applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Custodian as confidential and with extreme care. The Custodian shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Custodian’s reliance upon and compliance with such directions notwithstanding that such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written direction. The party giving such directions agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means (defined below) to submit directions to the Custodian, including without limitation the risk of the Custodian acting on unauthorized directions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting directions to the Custodian and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting directions; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of directions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Custodian immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.
(c) As used herein, “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Custodian, or another method or system specified by the Custodian as available for use in connection with its services hereunder
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by all of the Parties hereto.

HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LAWSUIT OR JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. (e) No Party to this Agreement shall be liable to any other Party hereto for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control; provided that a Party affected by any such event shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as quickly as possible. (f) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures of the Parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or by digital pdf transmission, and such facsimile or pdf will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such Party whose signature it reproduces, and will be binding upon such Party. All signatures of the parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or by digital pdf transmission under the terms set forth in this Section 12(f). The parties agree that the electronic signature of a party to this Agreement, including all acknowledgements, authorizations, directions, waivers and consents thereto (or any amendment or supplement thereto) shall be as valid as an original signature of such party and shall be effective to bind such party to this Agreement. The parties agree that any electronically signed document (including this Agreement) shall be deemed (i) to be “written” or “in writing,” (ii) to have been signed, and (iii) to constitute a record established and maintained in the ordinary course of business and an original written record when printed from electronic files. For purposes hereof, “electronic signature” means a manually signed original signature that is then transmitted by electronic means; “transmitted by electronic means” means sent in the form of a facsimile or sent via the Internet as a pdf (portable document format) or other replicating image attached to an e mail message; and, “electronically signed document” means a document transmitted by electronic means and containing, or to which there is affixed, an electronic signature.

Neither party shall contest the admissibility of true and accurate copies of electronically signed documents on the basis of the best evidence rule or as not satisfying the business records exception to the hearsay rule.

(g) The Custodian shall not be under any obligation to invest or pay interest on amounts held in the Assigned PPA Payments Account or the Provisional Payments Account from time to time.
(h) Issuer shall have only such duties under this Agreement as are expressly set forth herein as duties on its part to be performed, and no implied duties shall be read into this Agreement against Issuer.
(i) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create any liabilities between Issuer, JPMVEC and Participant. This Agreement is intended solely to allocate payments that are actually made by JPMVEC and Project Participant in respect of amounts owed for physically settled energy under the Assigned PPAs, the and the Clean Energy Prepay Agreements.

Section 13. Compliance with Court Orders. In the event that any amount held by the Custodian hereunder shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting the property deposited under this Agreement, the Custodian is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing are binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and in the event that the Custodian obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding that such writ, order or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

Section 14. Term; Winding Up. This Agreement will expire concurrently with the receipt of written notice from Project Participant, with a copy to the other Parties, that the Clean Energy Purchase Contract has terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 15. Indemnification. The Issuer, JPMVEC and Project Participant, jointly and severally, agree to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the Custodian, and affiliates, and each person who controls the Custodian (and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees) from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, actions, suits, costs, judgments and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from its acting as Custodian hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing any payment obligation of an indemnifying Party), except for any claim, damage or loss resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian; provided, however, that any amounts due under this Section 15 shall not duplicate any other amounts due under this Agreement, including without limitation amounts due under Section 9 hereof. The obligations of this Section 15 shall survive any resignation or removal of the Custodian and the termination of this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian shall have all of the rights (including indemnification rights), benefits, privileges, and immunities under this Agreement as are granted to the Trustee under the Trust Indenture, all of which are incorporated, mutatis mutandis, into this Agreement.

Section 16. Patriot Act. The Issuer, JPMVEC and Project Participant acknowledge that the Custodian is subject to federal laws, including the Customer Identification Program (“CIP”) requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations, pursuant to which the Custodian must obtain, verify and record information that allows the Custodian to identify JPMVEC and Project Participant.

Agenda Page 354
13 (b) Remarketing Termination. If the Reset Period Notice (or any update thereto) indicates that the Available Discount in such notice is not at least equal to the Minimum Discount for that Reset Period, then: (i) a “Potential Remarketing Termination Event” shall be deemed to exist, and (ii) Project Participant may, not later than the Remarketing Termination Deadline, issue a written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Remarketing Termination Notice”) to Issuer, Prepay LLC and the Trustee electing for this Agreement and the Assignment Agreements to be terminated; provided, however, if the Issuer and Prepay LLC are able to achieve an actual Available Discount, as finally determined under the Re-Pricing Agreement, that is equal to or greater than the Minimum Discount, then Project Participant’s Remarketing Termination Notice shall be void (any such notice, a “Voided Remarketing Termination Notice”) and this Agreement and the Assignment Agreements shall remain in full force and effect for such Reset Period. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Project Participant issues a Remarketing Termination Notice (other than a Voided Remarketing Termination Notice), any rights and obligations assigned to Prepay LLC or MSCG, as applicable under the Initial Assignment Agreement or a subsequent Assignment Agreement including, without limitation, the right to receive Assigned Energy, shall revert to Project Participant as of the end of the Initial Reset Period or the then-current Reset Period, as applicable. (c) Final Determination of Available Discount. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the final Available Discount for any Reset Period following the Initial Reset Period will be determined on the applicable [Re-Pricing Date] (as defined in the Re-Pricing Agreement), and that such Available Discount may differ from the estimate or estimates of such Available Discount provided to Project Participant prior to the applicable Remarketing Termination Deadline.

Accordingly, the Parties agree that:
(i) the Available Discount for any Reset Period will not be less than the Minimum Discount applicable to such Reset Period, unless Issuer has provided notice of a Potential Remarketing Termination Event to Project Participant in accordance with Section

3.4(b); and
(ii) if Project Participant receives notice of a Potential Remarketing Termination Event and has not provided a Remarketing Termination Notice prior to the applicable Remarketing Termination Deadline, Project Participant shall be deemed to have elected to continue to purchase and receive its Contract Quantity at a Contract Price that reflects the Monthly Discount portion of the Available Discount as finally determined on the applicable Re-Pricing Date, plus Project Participant’s right to its share of Annual Refunds, if any, and all delivery and purchase obligations under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for the applicable Reset Period. (d) Reduction of Contract Quantity. The Parties recognize and agree that the Contract Quantity may be reduced in a Reset Period pursuant to the re-pricing methodology described in the Re-Pricing Agreement if necessary to achieve a successful remarketing of the Bonds. The Parties agree further that if, pursuant to the Re-Pricing Agreement, Issuer and the Calculation Agent determine in connection with the establishment of any new Reset Period that:
(i) such Reset Period will be the final Reset Period and (ii) such Reset Period will end prior to the end of the original Delivery Period, then (A) Issuer will notify Project Participant, (B) the Delivery Period will be deemed to be modified so that it ends at the end of such Reset Period, and (C) the

Agenda Page 355
14 Contract Quantity for the last Month in such Reset Period may be reduced as provided in the Re-Pricing Agreement.

Failure by Project Participant to comply with its agreement to provide such annual updates shall not be a default under this Agreement, but any such failure shall entitle Issuer or an owner of the Bonds to take such actions and to initiate such proceedings as may be necessary and appropriate to cause Project Participant to comply with such agreement, including without limitation the remedies of mandamus and specific performance.

ARTICLE IX

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Agenda Page 364
23 Section 10.1 Arbitration. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by final, non-appealable binding arbitration in San Francisco, California before three arbitrators. The arbitration shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Within 15 days after the commencement of arbitration, each of the Parties shall select one person to act as arbitrator, and the two so-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator (the “chairperson”) within 30 days of the commencement of the arbitration. If either Party is unable or fails to select one person to act as arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS. If the Party-selected arbitrators are unable or fail to agree upon a chairperson, the chairperson shall be appointed by JAMS. The chairperson shall be a person who has experience in renewable energy-related transactions, and none of the arbitrators shall have been previously employed by either Party or have any direct pecuniary interest in either Party or the subject matter of the arbitration, unless such conflict is expressly acknowledged and waived in writing by each of the Parties. The Parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including any hearing(s), except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

Any arbitration proceedings, decision or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award consequential, treble, exemplary, or punitive damages of any type or kind regardless of whether such damages may be available under any law or right, with the Parties hereby affirmatively waiving their rights, if any, to recover or claim such damages. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrators shall award to the prevailing Party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in seeking to enforce the application of this Section 10.1 and by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1, any costs incurred by a Party in seeking judicial enforcement of any written decision of the arbitrators shall be chargeable to and borne exclusively by the Party against whom such court order is obtained. The award shall be final and binding on the Parties and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.2 Judicial Reference.
(a) Judicial Reference. Without limiting the provisions in Section 10.1, if Section 10.1 is ineffective or unenforceable, any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its performance, breach, or termination (including the existence, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the applicability of any statute of limitation period) (each, a “Dispute”) shall be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections (a “Reference Proceeding”), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Dispute. As a condition precedent to initiating a Reference Proceeding with respect to any Dispute, the Parties shall comply with the provisions of Section 10.2(b).

Agenda Page 365
24 (b) Notice of Dispute. Prior to initiating the Reference Proceeding, a Party (the “Disputing Party”) shall provide the other Party (the “Responding Party”) with a written notice of each issue in dispute, a proposed means for resolving each such issue, and support for such position (the “Notice of Dispute”). Within 10 days after receiving the Notice of Dispute, the Responding Party shall provide the Disputing Party with a written notice of each additional issue (if any) with respect to the dispute raised by the Notice of Dispute, a proposed means for resolving every issue in dispute, and support for such position (the “Dispute Response”). Thereafter, the Parties shall meet to discuss the matter and attempt in good faith to reach a negotiated resolution of the dispute.

If the Parties do not resolve the dispute by mutual agreement within 60 days after receipt of the Dispute Response, then either Party may provide to the other Party written notice of intent for judicial reference (the “Impasse Notice”) in accordance with the further provisions of this Section

10.2. (c) Applicability; Selection of Referees.
(i) The Party that provides the Impasse Notice shall nominate one (1) referee at the same time it provides the Impasse Notice. The other Party shall nominate one referee within 10 days of receiving the Impasse Notice. The two (2) referees (the “Party-Appointed Referees”) shall appoint a third referee (the “Third Referee”, together with the Party-Appointed Referees, the “Referees”). The Party-Appointed Referees shall be competent and experienced in matters involving the electric energy business in the United States, with at least 10 years of electric industry experience as a practicing attorney.

The Third Referee shall be an active or retired California state or federal judge. Each of the Party-Appointed Referees and the Third Referee shall be impartial and independent of either Party and of the other referees and not employed by any of the Parties in any prior matter.
(ii) If the Party-Appointed Referees are unable to agree on the Third Referee within 45 days from delivery of the Impasse Notice, then the Third Referee shall be appointed pursuant to CCP Section 640(b) in an action filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco (the “Court”), and with due regard given to the selection criteria above. A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the Parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP Section 170.6, each Party shall have one (1) peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Court. (d) Discovery; Proceedings.
(i) The Parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the Reference Proceeding. Accordingly, the referees shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within 20 days after the date of selection of the Third Referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within 180 days after the date of the conference, and (iii) report a statement of decision within 20 days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

Agenda Page 366
25 (ii) Discovery and other pre-hearing procedures shall be conducted as agreed to by the Parties, or if they cannot agree, as determined by the Third Referee after discussion with the Parties regarding the need for discovery and other pre-hearing procedures.
(iii) Any matter before the Referees shall be governed by the substantive law of California, its Code of Civil Procedure, Rules of Court, and Evidence Code, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties and approved by the Referees. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Third Referee shall determine the manner in which the Reference Proceeding is conducted, including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the Reference Proceeding. The Reference Proceeding, including the trial, shall be conducted at a neutral location selected by the Parties, or if not agreed by the Parties, by the Third Referee, in San Francisco, California.
(iv) All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referees, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any Party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referees, and the referees will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The Party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. (e) Decision. The referees shall render a written statement of decision setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. The decision shall be entered as a judgment in the court in accordance with the provisions of CCP Sections 644 and 645. The decision shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the Court. The Parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the CCP.
(f) Expenses. Each Party shall bear the compensation and expenses of its respective Party-Appointed Referee, own counsel, witnesses, consultants and employees. All other expenses of judicial reference shall be split equally between the Parties.

ARTICLE XI

FORCE MAJEURE
Section 11.1 Applicability of Force Majeure. To the extent either Party is prevented by Force Majeure from carrying out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Party (the “Claiming Party”) gives notice and details of the Force Majeure to the other Party as soon as practicable, then the Claiming Party shall be excused from the performance of its obligations with respect to this Agreement (other than the obligation to make payments then due or becoming due with respect to performance prior to the Force Majeure). The Claiming Party shall mitigate the Force Majeure with all reasonable dispatch. For the duration of the Claiming Party’s non-performance (and only for such period), the non-Claiming Party shall not be required to perform or resume performance of its obligations to the Claiming Party corresponding to the obligations of the Claiming Party excused by Force Majeure.

Agenda Page 367
26 Section 11.2 Settlement of Labor Disputes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances shall be within the sole discretion of the Party experiencing such disturbance, and the failure of a Party to settle such strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances shall not prevent the existence of Force Majeure or of reasonable dispatch to remedy the same.

ARTICLE XII

GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
Section 12.1 Compliance with Laws. This Agreement shall be subject to all present and future Laws of any Government Agency having jurisdiction over this Agreement or the transactions to be undertaken hereunder, and neither Party has knowingly undertaken or will knowingly undertake or knowingly cause to be undertaken any activity that would conflict with such Laws; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to restrict or limit either Party’s right to object to or contest any such Law, or its application to this Agreement or the transactions undertaken hereunder, and neither acquiescence therein or compliance therewith for any period of time shall be construed as a waiver of such right.

Section 12.2 Contests. Excluding all matters involving a contractual dispute between the Parties, no Party shall contest, cause to be contested or in any way actively support the contest of the equity, fairness, reasonableness or lawfulness of any terms or conditions set forth or established pursuant to this Agreement, as those terms or conditions may be at issue before any Government Agency in any proceeding, if the successful result of such contest would be to preclude or excuse the performance by either Party of this Agreement or any provision hereunder.

Section 12.3 Defense of Agreement. Excluding all matters involving a contractual dispute between the Parties, each Party shall hereafter defend and support this Agreement before any Government Agency in any proceeding, if the substance, validity or enforceability of all or any part of this Agreement is hereafter directly challenged or if any proposed changes in regulatory practices or procedures would have the effect of making this Agreement invalid or unenforceable or would otherwise materially affect the rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

ASSIGNMENT
The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives; provided, however, that, subject to Section 18.14, neither Party may assign this Agreement or its rights and interests, in whole or in part, under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. Prior to assigning this Agreement, Project Participant shall deliver to Issuer (i) written confirmation from each of the Applicable Rating Agencies, provided that such agency has rated and continues to rate the Bonds, that the assignment will not result in a reduction, qualification, or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned by the Applicable Rating Agencies to the Bonds; or (ii) written confirmation from each of the Applicable Rating Agencies, that the assignee has an outstanding long-term senior, unsecured, unenhanced debt rating equivalent to or higher than the ratings assigned by the Applicable Rating Agencies to the Bonds. Whenever an assignment or a transfer

Agenda Page 368
27 of a Party’s interest in this Agreement is requested to be made with the written consent of the other Party, the assigning or transferring Party’s assignee or transferee shall expressly agree to assume, in writing, the duties and obligations under this Agreement of the assigning or transferring Party.

Upon the agreement of a Party to any such assignment or transfer, the assigning or transferring Party shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the other Party a true and correct copy of such assignment or transfer and assumption of duties and obligations.

PAYMENTS
Section 14.1 Monthly Statements.
(a) No later than the fifth (5th) day of each Month during the Delivery Period (excluding the first (1st) Month of the Delivery Period) and the first (1st) Month following the end of the Delivery Period, Project Participant shall deliver to Issuer a statement (a “Project Participant’s Statement”) listing any amounts due to Project Participant in connection with this Agreement with respect to the prior Month(s).
(b) No later than the fifteenth (15th) day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day) of each Month during the Delivery Period (excluding the first (1st) Month of the Delivery Period) and the first (1st) Month following the end of the Delivery Period (the “Billing Date”), Issuer shall deliver a statement (a “Billing Statement”) to Project Participant indicating (i) the total amount due to Issuer for Energy delivered in the prior Month, (ii) any other amounts due to Issuer or Project Participant in connection with this Agreement with respect to the prior Month(s), and (iii) the net amount due to Issuer or Project Participant; provided that invoicing for Monthly Excess Quantities and Assigned Paygo Quantities shall occur under the PPA Custodial Agreement. Additionally, if a [Participant Monthly Statement] (as defined in the PPA Custodial Agreement) for an [Assigned PPA] (as defined in the PPA Custodial Agreement) has not been delivered by the fifteenth (15th) day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day) of the Month following deliveries, and absent any mutual agreement by the Parties (and mutual agreement of the parties under the Prepaid Agreement and the Energy Management Agreement) to settle based upon preliminary meter data, Issuer shall provisionally prepare or cause to be prepared a Billing Statement for this Agreement that assumes all of the Monthly Projected Quantities were delivered under the applicable Assigned PPA for such Month, and any subsequent resettlements required with respect thereto shall occur under the PPA Custodial Agreement. (c) Upon request by either Party, the other Party shall deliver such supporting documentation of the foregoing as such requesting Party may reasonably request.

Section 14.2 Payment.
(a) If the Billing Statement indicates an amount due from Project Participant, then Project Participant shall remit such amount to the Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer by wire transfer (pursuant to the Trustee’s instructions for amounts due under this Agreement, provided that amounts due from Project Participant with respect to Monthly Excess Quantities and Assigned Paygo Quantities, as applicable, shall be paid pursuant to the terms of the PPA Custodial Agreement), in immediately available funds, on or before the twenty second (22nd) day of the

Agenda Page 369
28 Month following the most recent Month to which such Billing Statement relates, or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day. If the Billing Statement indicates an amount due from Issuer, then Issuer shall remit such amount to Project Participant by wire transfer (pursuant to Project Participant’s instructions), in immediately available funds, on or before the twenty-eighth (28th) day of the Month following the most recent Month to which such Billing Statement relates, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. (b) If Project Participant fails to issue a Project Participant’s Statement with respect to any Month, Issuer shall not be required to estimate any amounts due to Project Participant for such Month, provided that Project Participant may include any such amount on subsequent Project Participant’s Statements issued within the next sixty (60) days. The sixty (60) day deadline in this subsection (b) replaces the two (2) year deadline in Section 14.5(b) with respect to any claim by any non-delivering Party of inaccuracy in any estimated invoice issued or payment made pursuant to this subsection (b).

Section 14.3 Payment of Disputed Amounts; Correction of Index Price. (a) If Project Participant disputes any amounts included in the Issuer’s Billing Statement, Project Participant shall (except in the case of manifest error) nonetheless pay any amount required by the Billing Statement in accordance with Section 14.2 without regard to any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other defenses to payment that Project Participant may have; provided, however, that Project Participant shall have the right, after payment, to dispute any amounts included in a Billing Statement or otherwise used to calculate payments due under this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.5. If Issuer disputes any amounts included in the Project Participant’s Statement, Issuer may withhold payment to the extent of the disputed amount; provided, however, that interest shall be due at the Default Rate for any withheld amount later found to have been properly due.
(b) If a value published for any rate or index used or to be used in this Agreement is subsequently corrected and the correction is published or announced by the Person responsible for that publication or announcement within thirty (30) days after the original publication or announcement, either Party may notify the other Party of (i) that correction and (ii) the amount (if any) that is payable as a result of that correction. If, not later than thirty (30) days after publication or announcement of that correction, a Party gives notice that an amount is so payable, the Party that originally either received or retained such amount shall, not later than three (3) Business Days after the effectiveness of that notice, pay, subject to any other applicable provisions of this Agreement, to the other Party that amount, together with interest on that amount at the Default Rate for the period from and including the day on which a payment originally was (or was not) made to but excluding the day of payment of the refund or payment resulting from that correction.

Section 14.4 Late Payment. If Project Participant fails to remit the full amount payable within one (1) Business Day of when due, interest on the unpaid portion shall accrue from the date due until the date of payment at the Default Rate.

Section 14.5 Audit; Adjustments.

Agenda Page 370
29 (a) A Party shall have the right, at its own expense, upon reasonable notice to the other Party and at reasonable times, to examine and audit and to obtain copies of the relevant portion of the books, records, and telephone recordings of the other Party to the extent reasonably necessary, but only to such extent, to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge, payment, or computation made under this Agreement. This right to examine, audit, and obtain copies shall not be available with respect to proprietary information not directly relevant to transactions under this Agreement.
(b) Each Project Participant’s Statement and each Billing Statement shall be conclusively presumed final and accurate and all associated claims for under- or overpayments shall be deemed waived unless such Project Participant’s Statement or Billing Statement is objected to in writing, with adequate explanation and/or documentation, within two (2) years after the applicable Month of Energy delivery.
(c) All retroactive adjustments shall be paid in full by the Party owing payment within thirty (30) days of notice and substantiation of such inaccuracy. If the Parties are unable to agree upon any retroactive adjustments requested by either Party within the time period specified in Section 14.5(b), then either Party may pursue any remedies available with respect to such adjustments at law or in equity. Retroactive adjustments for payments made based on an incorrect Billing Statement shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment was made.

Section 14.6 Netting; No Set-Off. The Parties shall net all amounts due and owing, including any past due amounts (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any accrued interest), arising under this Agreement such that the Party owing the greater amount shall make a single payment of the net amount to the other Party in accordance with this Article XIV.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment for all amounts set forth in a Billing Statement provided to Project Participant shall be made without set-off or counterclaim of any kind.

Section 14.7 Source of Project Participant’s Payments. Project Participant covenants and agrees to make payments due hereunder from CCA Revenues, and only from such CCA Revenues, as an operating expense of its CCA System; provided, however, that Project Participant may apply any legally available monies to the payment of amounts due hereunder.

Section 14.8 Rate Covenant. Project Participant hereby covenants and agrees that it will establish, fix, prescribe, maintain, and collect rates, fees, and charges from the customers of its CCA System so as to provide CCA Revenues sufficient to enable Project Participant to pay any other amounts legally payable from CCA Revenues, and to maintain any required reserves for Project Participant’s CCA System. Project Participant further covenants and agrees that it shall not furnish or supply Energy services free of charge to any Person, except any such service free of charge that Project Participant is supplying on the date hereof as has been specifically identified by Project Participant to Issuer in writing, and it shall promptly enforce the payment of any and all accounts owing to Project Participant for the sale of Energy to its customers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Project Participant shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder except from CCA Revenues.

Section 14.9 Pledge of CCA Revenues. Project Participant shall not grant any lien on or security interest in, or otherwise pledge or encumber, the CCA Revenues if the terms or effect of

Agenda Page 371
30 such lien, pledge or other encumbrance results in such lien, pledge or other encumbrance having priority over the obligations of Project Participant to pay the Contract Price, which obligations constitute operating expenses of Project Participant.

Section 14.10Financial Responsibility. In the event the Issuer receives notice from Prepay LLC pursuant to [Section 2.12] of the Receivables Purchase Provisions (as defined in the Trust Indenture) that it requires adequate assurance of performance from the Issuer, Issuer shall provide notice thereof to Project Participant and Project Participant shall (a) notify the Issuer of its agreement to provide such adequate assurance within forty-eight (48) Hours but at least one (1) Business Day of Project Participant’s receipt of such notice and (b) provide such adequate assurance to Issuer within seventy-two (72) Hours but at least two (2) Business Days of Project Participant’s receipt of such notice. Adequate assurance shall mean sufficient security in the form and for a term reasonably specified by Prepay LLC pursuant to [Section 2.12] of the Receivables Purchase Provisions, including but not limited to a standby irrevocable letter of credit, a prepayment, a deposit to an escrow account, or a performance bond or guaranty by a creditworthy entity. In the event Issuer is entitled to demand adequate assurance of performance under this Section 14.10, Issuer may demand at a minimum a prepayment by Project Participant of an amount equal to (i) the amount owed by Project Participant with respect to all Energy delivered by Issuer to Project Participant as of the date of the demand for adequate assurance of performance, plus (ii) the amount, as determined and adjusted from time to time by Issuer (with the input of Prepay LLC pursuant to the [Receivables Purchase Provisions] (as defined in the Trust Indenture)) in a Commercially Reasonable manner, expected to be owed by Project Participant with respect to the Energy to be delivered by Issuer to Project Participant during the remainder of the then-current Month and the following Month. The Parties agree that in the event Project Participant fails to provide such adequate assurance as demanded, Issuer shall have the right to suspend its performance under this Agreement, including the making of deliveries of Energy to Project Participant, immediately upon written notice and shall not be obligated to restore such performance until the later of (A) the first day of the Month after such demand has been satisfied, and (B) the completion of the term of deliveries to any replacement sales customer to which Prepay LLC has remarketed the Energy on behalf of Issuer.

17.4(a) (and without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement), during the existence of any Project Participant Default, Issuer may suspend its performance hereunder and discontinue the supply of all or any portion of the Energy otherwise to be delivered to Project Participant by it under this Agreement. If Issuer exercises its right to suspend performance under this Section

Deliveries of Energy may only be reinstated, at a time to be determined by Issuer, upon (i) payment in full by Project Participant of all amounts then due and payable under this Agreement and (ii) payment in advance by Project Participant at the beginning of each Month of amounts estimated by Issuer to be due to Issuer for the future delivery of Energy under this Agreement for such Month. Issuer may continue to require payment in advance from Project Participant after the reinstatement of Issuer’s supply services under this Agreement for such period of time as Issuer in its sole discretion may determine is appropriate. In addition, and without limiting any other provisions of or remedies available under this Agreement, if Project Participant fails to accept from Issuer any Energy tendered for delivery under this Agreement, Issuer shall have the right to sell such Energy to third parties on any terms that Issuer, in its sole discretion, determines are appropriate.

Neither this Agreement nor the Delivery Period may be terminated for any reason except as specified in this Article XVII. Without prejudice to any payment obligation in respect of periods prior to termination, no payments will be due from either Party in respect of periods occurring after the effective termination date of this Agreement.

Section 17.5 Termination of Prepaid Agreement. Project Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the event an Energy Delivery Termination Event occurs under and as defined in the Prepaid Agreement for any reason prior to the end of the Delivery Period, this Agreement shall terminate on the Energy Delivery Termination Date (which date shall be the last date upon which deliveries are required under the Prepaid Agreement, subject to all winding up arrangements) and (ii) Issuer’s obligation to deliver Energy under this Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of deliveries of Energy to Issuer under the Prepaid Agreement. Issuer shall provide notice to Project Participant of any early termination date of the Prepaid Agreement. The Parties recognize and agree that, in the event that the Prepaid Agreement terminates because of a [Failed Remarketing (as defined in the Trust Indenture)] of the Bonds that occurs in the first Month of a Reset Period, Issuer shall deliver Energy under this Agreement for the remainder of

Agenda Page 375

FORM OF FEDERAL TAX CERTIFICATE
This Federal Tax Certificate is executed in connection with the Clean Energy Purchase Contract dated as of [___], 2025 (the “Supply Contract”), by and between California Community Choice Financing Authority (“Issuer”) and Clean Power Alliance of Southern California, a California joint powers authority (“Project Participant”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Supply Contract or in the Trust Indenture.

WHEREAS Project Participant acknowledges that Issuer is issuing the Bonds to fund the prepayment price under the Prepaid Agreement; and
WHEREAS the Bonds are intended to qualify for tax exemption under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and
WHEREAS Project Participant’s use of Energy acquired pursuant to the Supply Contract and certain funds and accounts of Project Participant will affect the Bonds’ qualification for such tax exemption.

NOW, THEREFORE, PROJECT PARTICIPANT HEREBY CERTIFIES AS FOLLOWS:

1. Project Participant is a community choice aggregator organized as a joint powers authority under the laws of the State of California. As a community choice aggregator, the Project Participant is a load-serving entity providing electricity to customers within the boundaries of cities and/or counties that have elected to participate in Project Participant’s community choice aggregation program. For purposes of this Certificate, the term “service area” of the Project Participant means the boundaries of the cities and/or counties that have elected to participate in the Project Participant’s community choice aggregation program, as well as any other area recognized as the service area of the Project Participant under state or federal law.

2. Project Participant will resell all of the Energy acquired pursuant to the Supply Contract to its retail Energy customers within its service area, with retail sales in all cases being made pursuant to regularly established and generally applicable tariffs or under authorized requirements contracts.

3. From [___, __] to [____, 202_] the annual average amount of Energy purchased (other than for resale) by customers of Project Participant who are located within the service area of Project Participant is [________] MWh. Over the term of the Supply Contract, the Project Participant expects the annual average amount of Energy purchased (other than for resale) by customers of the Project Participant who are located within the service area of the Project Participant to be at least [_____] MWh. The maximum annual amount of Energy in any year being acquired pursuant to the Supply Contract is [_______] MWh. The annual average amount of Energy which Project Participant otherwise has a right to acquire as of the Bond Closing Date (including rights to capacity to generate electricity, whether owned, leased or otherwise contracted for) is [________] MWh. The sum of (a) the maximum amount of Energy in any year being acquired pursuant to the

Agenda Page 386
D-2
Supply Contract, and (b) the amount of Energy that Project Participant otherwise has a right to acquire (including rights to capacity to generate electricity, whether owned, leased or otherwise contracted for) in the year described in the foregoing clause (a), is [________] MWh. Accordingly, the amount of Energy to be acquired under the Supply Contract by Project Participant, supplemented by the amount of Energy otherwise available to Project Participant as of the Bond Closing Date, during any year does not exceed [___]% of the expected annual average amount of Energy to be purchased (other than for resale) by customers of Project Participant who are located within the service area of Project Participant.

4. In the event of the expiration or termination of an EPS Energy Period, Project Participant agrees to comply with its obligations under the Assignment Letter Agreement, including but not limited to its obligations to (a) exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign a portion of Project Participant’s rights and obligations under a power purchase agreement under which Project Participant is purchasing EPS Compliant Energy to MSCG or Prepay LLC pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and (b) cooperate in good faith with Issuer, MSCG and Prepay LLC with respect to any proposed assignments.

5. Project Participant expects to pay for Energy acquired pursuant to the Supply Contract solely from funds derived from its operations as a community choice aggregator. Project Participant expects to use current CCA Revenues of its CCA System to pay for current Energy acquisitions. Neither the Project Participant nor any person who is a related party to the Project Participant will hold any funds or accounts in which monies are set aside and invested and which are reasonably expected to be used to pay for Energy more than one year after such monies are set aside. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used directly or indirectly to replace funds of Project Participant or any persons who are related Persons to Project Participant that are or were intended to be used for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued. _______________, 2025

The responsibility for compensation and expenses of the three (3) arbitrators and all other expenses charged by JAMS shall be shared equally between or among the Arbitration Parties, as the case may be. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Assignment Agreement, the arbitrators shall award to the prevailing Arbitration Party or Arbitration Parties, if any, the costs and attorney’s fees reasonably incurred in seeking to enforce the application of this Section 11(c) by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration, and the non-prevailing Arbitration Party or Arbitration Parties shall also be liable to the prevailing Arbitration Party or Arbitration Parties for the compensation and expenses of the three arbitrators and all costs charged by JAMS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11(c), any costs incurred by an Arbitration Party in seeking judicial enforcement of any written decision of the arbitrators shall be chargeable to and borne exclusively by the Arbitration Party against whom such court order is obtained. The award shall be final and binding on the Arbitration Parties and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. (d) Judicial Reference. Without limiting the provisions in Section 11(c), if Section 11(c) is deemed ineffective or unenforceable in any respect, any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Assignment Agreement or its performance, breach, or termination (including the existence, validity and interpretation of this Assignment Agreement and the applicability of any statute of limitation period) (each, a “Dispute”) shall be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections (a “Reference Proceeding”), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Dispute. As a condition precedent to initiating a Reference Proceeding with respect to any Dispute, the Parties shall comply with the provisions of Section 11(d)(1).
i. Notice of Dispute. Prior to initiating the Reference Proceeding, a Party (the “Disputing Party”) shall provide the other Parties (the “Responding Parties”; and together with the Disputing Party, the “Dispute Parties”) with a written notice of each issue in dispute, a proposed means for resolving each such issue, and support for such position (the “Notice of Dispute”). Within 10 days after receiving the Notice of Dispute,

Agenda Page 415
12 the Responding Parties shall provide the Disputing Party with a written notice of each additional issue (if any) with respect to the dispute raised by the Notice of Dispute, a proposed means for resolving every issue in dispute, and support for such position (the “Dispute Response”). If the Notice of Dispute makes no claim or assertion against one of the Responding Parties, and such Responding Party, in making its Dispute Response does not make or assert a claim against either the Disputing Party or the other Responding Party and states that it has no interest in the Dispute, then such Responding Party shall not participate in the resolution of the Dispute and shall not be a “Dispute Party” for purposes of this Section 11(d). Thereafter, the Dispute Parties shall meet to discuss the matter and attempt in good faith to reach a negotiated resolution of the dispute. If the Dispute Parties do not resolve the dispute by unanimous agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Dispute Response then any Dispute Party may provide to the other Dispute Party(ies) written notice of intent for judicial reference (the “Impasse Notice”) in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 11(d).
ii. Applicability; Selection of Referees. Within 10 days of the delivery of an Impasse Notice, each of Prepay LLC and PPA Buyer, on the one hand, and PPA Seller, on the other hand, shall nominate one (1) referee, provided that if PPA Seller is not a Dispute Party, then each of Prepay LLC and PPA Buyer shall nominate (1) referee, and PPA Seller will not nominate a referee. The two (2) referees (the “Party-Appointed Referees”) shall unanimously appoint one (1) additional referee (the “Additional Referee”, together with the Party-Appointed Referees, the “Referees”). The Party-Appointed Referees shall be competent and experienced in matters involving the electric Energy business in the United States, with at least ten (10) years of electric industry experience as a practicing attorney.

The Additional Referee shall be an active or retired California state or federal judge (the “Head Referee”). Each of the Party-Appointed Referees and the Additional Referee shall be impartial and independent of each of the Dispute Parties and of the other referees and not employed by any of the Dispute Parties in any prior matter. (A) If the Party-Appointed Referees are unable to agree on the Additional Referee within 45 days from delivery of the Impasse Notice, then the Additional Referee shall be appointed pursuant to CCP Section 640(b) in an action filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco (the “Court”), and with due regard given to the selection criteria above. A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the Dispute Parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP Section 170.6, each of PPA Buyer and Prepay LLC, on the one hand, and PPA Seller, on the other hand, shall have one (1) peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Court, provided that if PPA Seller is not a Dispute Party, then each of Prepay LLC and PPA Buyer shall have one (1) peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Court.
iii. Discovery; Proceedings.
(A) The Dispute Parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the Reference Proceeding. Accordingly, the Referees shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the

Agenda Page 416
13 matter for a status and trial-setting conference within 20 days after the date of selection of the Head Referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within 180 days after the date of the conference, and (iii) report a statement of decision within 20 days after the matter has been submitted for decision. (B) Discovery and other pre-hearing procedures shall be conducted as agreed to by the Dispute Parties, or if they cannot agree, as determined by the Head Referee after discussion with the Dispute Parties regarding the need for discovery and other pre-hearing procedures.
(C) Except as expressly set forth herein, the Head Referee shall determine the manner in which the Reference Proceeding is conducted, including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the Reference Proceeding. The Reference Proceeding, including the trial, shall be conducted at a neutral location selected by the Dispute Parties, or if not agreed by the Dispute Parties, by the Head Referee, in San Francisco, California.
(D) All proceedings and hearings conducted before the Referees, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any Dispute Party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the Referees, and the Referees will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The Dispute Party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter.
iv. Decision. The Referees shall render a written statement of decision setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. The decision shall be entered as a judgment in the court in accordance with the provisions of CCP Sections 644 and 645. The decision shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the Court. The Dispute Parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the CCP. (e) Expenses. The Dispute Parties shall bear the compensation and expenses of its respective own counsel, witnesses, consultants and employees. The responsibility for compensation and expenses of the Referees and all other expenses of judicial reference shall be shared equally between or among the Dispute Parties, as the case may be. (f) U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol. The Parties hereby confirm that they are adherents to the ISDA 2018 U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol (“ISDA U.S. Stay Protocol”), the terms of the ISDA U.S. Stay Protocol are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be deemed a Protocol Covered Agreement for purposes thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c), any costs incurred by an Arbitration Party in seeking judicial enforcement of any written decision of the arbitrators shall be chargeable to and borne exclusively by the Arbitration Party against

Agenda Page 430

whom such court order is obtained. The award shall be final and binding on the Arbitration Parties and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) Judicial Reference. Without limiting the provisions in Section 8(c), if Section 8(c) is deemed ineffective or unenforceable in any respect, any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Assignment Agreement or its performance, breach, or termination (including the existence, validity and interpretation of this Assignment Agreement and the applicability of any statute of limitation period) (each, a “Dispute”) shall be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections (a “Reference Proceeding”), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Dispute. As a condition precedent to initiating a Reference Proceeding with respect to any Dispute, the Parties shall comply with the provisions of Section 8(d)(1).
(1) Notice of Dispute. Prior to initiating the Reference Proceeding, a Party (the “Disputing Party”) shall provide the other Parties (the “Responding Parties”; and together with the Disputing Party, the “Dispute Parties”) with a written notice of each issue in dispute, a proposed means for resolving each such issue, and support for such position (the “Notice of Dispute”). Within 10 days after receiving the Notice of Dispute, the Responding Parties shall provide the Disputing Party with a written Notice of each additional issue (if any) with respect to the dispute raised by the Notice of Dispute, a proposed means for resolving every issue in dispute, and support for such position (the “Dispute Response”). If the Notice of Dispute makes no claim or assertion against one of the Responding Parties, and such Responding Party, in making its Dispute Response does not make or assert a claim against either the Disputing Party or the other Responding Party and states that it has no interest in the Dispute, then such Responding Party shall not participate in the resolution of the Dispute and shall not be a “Dispute Party” for purposes of this Section 8(d). Thereafter, the Dispute Parties shall meet to discuss the matter and attempt in good faith to reach a negotiated resolution of the dispute. If the Dispute Parties do not resolve the dispute by unanimous agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Dispute Response, then any Dispute Party may provide to the other Dispute Party(ies) written notice of intent for judicial reference (the “Impasse Notice”) in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 8. (2) Applicability; Selection of Referees. Within 10 days of the delivery of an Impasse Notice, each of Financing Party and PPA Buyer, on the one hand, and PPA Seller, on the other hand, shall nominate one (1) referee; provided that if PPA Seller is not a Dispute Party, then each of Financing Party and PPA Buyer shall nominate (1) referee, and PPA Seller will not nominate a referee. The two (2) referees (the “Party-Appointed Referees”) shall unanimously appoint one (1) additional referee (the “Additional Referee”, together with the Party-Appointed Referees, the “Referees”). The Party-Appointed Referees shall be competent and experienced in matters involving the electric energy business in the United States, with at least ten (10) years of electric industry experience as a practicing attorney. The Additional Referee shall be an active or retired California state or federal judge (the “Head Referee”). Each of the Party-Appointed Referees and the Additional Referee shall be impartial and independent of each of the Dispute Parties and of the other referees and not employed by any of the Dispute Parties in any prior matter.

Agenda Page 431
-9-
i. If the Party-Appointed Referees are unable to agree on the Additional Referee within 45 days from delivery of the Impasse Notice, then the Additional Referee shall be appointed pursuant to CCP Section 640(b) in an action filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco (the “Court”), and with due regard given to the selection criteria above. A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the Dispute Parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP Section 170.6, each of PPA Buyer and Financing Party, on the one hand, and PPA Seller, on the other hand, shall have one (1) peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Court; provided that if PPA Seller is not a Dispute Party, then each of Financing Party and PPA Buyer shall have one (1) peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Court.
(3) Discovery; Proceedings.
i. The Dispute Parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the Reference Proceeding. Accordingly, the Referees shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within 20 days after the date of selection of the Head Referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within 180 days after the date of the conference, and (iii) report a statement of decision within 20 days after the matter has been submitted for decision.
ii. Discovery and other pre-hearing procedures shall be conducted as agreed to by the Dispute Parties, or if they cannot agree, as determined by the Head Referee after discussion with the Dispute Parties regarding the need for discovery and other pre-hearing procedures. iii. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Head Referee shall determine the manner in which the Reference Proceeding is conducted, including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the Reference Proceeding. The Reference Proceeding, including the trial, shall be conducted at a neutral location selected by the Dispute Parties, or if not agreed by the Dispute Parties, by the Head Referee, in San Francisco, California.
iv. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the Referees, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any Dispute Party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the Referees, and the Referees will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The Dispute Party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. (4) Decision. The Referees shall render a written statement of decision setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. The decision shall be entered as a judgment in the court in accordance with the provisions of CCP Sections 644 and 645. The decision shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the

Agenda Page 432
-10-
Court. The Dispute Parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the CCP.
(e) Expenses. The Dispute Parties shall bear the compensation and expenses of its respective own counsel, witnesses, consultants and employees.

For the avoidance of doubt, (I) more than one Assignment Appendix may be in effect at any time, and (II) at any given time, less than one hundred percent (100%) of the [Contract Quantity] under and as defined in the PPA may be assigned pursuant to the Assignment Appendices then in effect.

Re: PPA Assignments for Delivery under Prepay Energy Agreements Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Letter Agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) confirms our mutual agreement with respect to the matters set forth below and relates to (i) that certain Clean Energy Purchase Contract (the “Clean Energy Purchase Contract”), dated as of the date hereof, by and between California Community Choice Financing Authority (“Issuer”) and Clean Power Alliance of Southern California (“Project Participant”), (ii) that certain Prepaid Energy Sales Agreement (the “Prepaid Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and between Energy Prepay [_], LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Prepay LLC”) and Issuer, and (iii) that certain Energy Management Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and between Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) and Prepay LLC (the “Energy Management Agreement”, and together with the Clean Energy Purchase Contract and the Prepaid Agreement, the “Prepay Energy Agreements”). Any capitalized term used in this Letter Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Clean Energy Purchase Contract. In consideration of each party’s execution of the respective Prepay Energy Agreements, as well as the premises above and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, Issuer, Project Participant, Prepay LLC and MSCG (collectively, the “Parties”) agree as follows:

1. PPA Assignments for Delivery under Prepay Energy Agreements. (a) Initial Assignment. Concurrently with the execution of the Prepay Energy Agreements, Project Participant has assigned and Prepay LLC has agreed to assume a portion of Project Participant’s rights and obligations under the initial assigned PPA. (b) Replacement Assignments. Commencing (i) six months prior to the expiration of any EPS Energy Period or (ii) otherwise immediately upon the early termination or anticipated early termination of an EPS Energy Period, Project Participant shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign a portion of Project Participant’s rights and obligations (the “Assigned Rights and Obligations”) under one or more power purchase agreements under which Project Participant is purchasing EPS Compliant Energy pursuant to an Assignment Agreement substantially in the form of (A) the Limited

Agenda Page 438
2 Assignment Agreement set forth as Exhibit A hereto if the PPA Supplier is an unrelated third party or (B) the Limited Assignment Agreement set forth as Exhibit B hereto if the PPA Supplier is MSCG (each, an “Assignment Agreement”), and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to any proposed assignments; provided that:
(1) any subsequent Assignment Agreement shall provide (I) for the assignment by Project Participant to either (a) Prepay LLC if MSCG is the PPA Supplier or (b) MSCG if the PPA Supplier is an unrelated third party of its right to receive all of the Energy (and any associated products set forth in the Assignment Agreement) delivered under the applicable power purchase agreement for each Month of the applicable EPS Energy Period and (II) for payment by Prepay LLC or MSCG as applicable to the PPA Supplier under such subsequent power purchase agreement of the Day-Ahead Average Price for each Month of the applicable EPS Energy Period, with such amounts to be credited in the PPA Supplier’s monthly invoice to Project Participant against other amounts owed by Project Participant under the Assigned PPA during the EPS Energy Period;
(2) any third-party PPA Supplier must satisfy MSCG’s internal credit and approval requirements and other requirements applied on a nondiscriminatory basis, including any “know your customer” rules, policies and procedures, anti-money laundering rules and regulations, Dodd-Frank Act, Commodity Exchange Act, Patriot Act and similar rules, regulations, requirements and corresponding policies; (3) any such assignment must be agreed and consented to by Project Participant, Prepay LLC and MSCG in their reasonable discretion; and
(4) the Parties recognize that MSCG will be obligated to sell and deliver Assigned Product it receives from a third-party PPA Supplier to Prepay LLC under the Energy Management Agreement; Prepay LLC will be obligated to deliver Assigned Product that it acquires to Issuer under the terms of the Prepaid Agreement; and Issuer will be obligated to deliver Assigned Product that it acquires to Project Participant under the terms of the Clean Energy Purchase Contract. (c) MSCG Procurement of EPS Compliant Energy. To the extent that (i) Project Participant, Prepay LLC and MSCG have not agreed upon a replacement assignment of a power purchase agreement by the date that is 75 days prior to the end of any EPS Energy Period, (ii) an early termination of an EPS Energy Period has occurred and Project Participant, Prepay LLC and MSCG have not agreed upon a replacement assignment of a power purchase agreement, then MSCG shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain EPS Compliant Energy for ultimate redelivery to Project Participant, provided that:
(1) Project Participant must consent to MSCG’s procurement of any such EPS Compliant Energy for ultimate redelivery to Project Participant, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld;

Agenda Page 439
3 (2) the Parties shall act in good faith and in a Commercially Reasonable manner to negotiate any necessary amendments to the Prepay Energy Agreements to facilitate the delivery of such EPS Compliant Energy; and
(3) the period of delivery for any such EPS Compliant Energy (any such period, a “MSCG EPS Energy Period”) shall not exceed the length, as applicable, of (A) the then-current Reset Period if such EPS Compliant Energy is obtained for delivery for the remainder of a Reset Period and (B) the length of the next succeeding Reset Period if such EPS Compliant Energy is obtained for delivery commencing in a subsequent Reset Period.
(d) Tax Opinion. The Parties acknowledge and agree that their ability to enter into a new Reset Period will be contingent on obtaining an Opinion of [Bond Counsel] (as defined in the Trust Indenture), which will be dependent on the availability of EPS Compliant Energy for delivery in such Reset Period.

2. Failure to Obtain EPS Compliant Energy. To the extent an EPS Energy Period terminates or expires and Project Participant and MSCG have been unable to obtain EPS Compliant Energy for delivery under the Prepay Energy Agreements pursuant to the provisions of Section 1, then Prepay LLC shall remarket the Base Energy pursuant to the provisions of [Exhibit C] to the Prepaid Agreement, subject to the following:
(a) the Parties’ obligations set forth in Section 1 shall continue to apply; (b) Project Participant shall not make any new commitment to purchase Priority Energy during such a remarketing; and
(c) consistent with [Section 7.5] of the Clean Energy Purchase Contract, Project Participant shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remediate any Disqualified Remarketing Proceeds resulting from Prepay LLC’s remarketing.

3. Assignment Early Termination. With respect to any Assignment Agreement entered into among MSCG, Project Participant and a PPA Seller (as defined in the form of Assignment Agreement set forth as Exhibit Ahereto), each of MSCG and Project Participant agree that it shall only exercise its right under an at will termination provision of an Assignment Agreement (as set forth in [Section 3(b)(i)] of Exhibit A hereto) to deliver a written notice of termination of an Assignment Period under an Assignment Agreement (or an Assignment Appendix under and as defined in an Assignment Appendix) consistent with the following:

Agenda Page 440
4 ii. termination or suspension of deliveries for any reason other than force majeure under the Prepaid Agreement or Prepay Clean Energy Purchase Contract, with respect to which the Assignment Early Termination Date shall occur immediately as of the time of the last deliveries under the relevant contract following such suspension or termination; or
iii. to the extent that MSCG and Project Participant have mutually agreed upon a replacement Assignment Agreement (as defined in the Prepay Clean Energy Purchase Contract) that will replace the Assigned Rights and Obligations under the Assignment Agreement immediately following the termination thereof, with respect to which the Assignment Early Termination Date shall occur effective as of the end of the Month preceding the commencement of the “Assignment Period” under the replacement Assignment Agreement as specified in the notice from MSCG or Project Participant to the PPA Seller and the other Party hereto; (b) MSCG may, in its sole discretion, deliver a notice of termination of the Assignment Agreement if any of the following occur:
i. the suspension, expiration, or termination of performance of the PPA by either Project Participant or PPA Seller for any reason other than the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event under and as defined in the PPA, with respect to which the Assignment Early Termination Date shall occur immediately as of the time of PPA Seller’s or Project Participant’s (as applicable) last performance under the PPA following such suspension, expiration, or termination;
ii. (A) any event or circumstance occurs that would either give either Project Participant or PPA Seller the right to terminate or suspend performance under the PPA (regardless of whether Project Participant or PPA Seller exercises such right), or (B) the execution of an amendment, waiver, supplement, modification or other change to the PPA that adversely affects the Assigned Rights and Obligations or MSCG’s rights or obligations under the Assignment Agreement (provided that MSCG shall not have a right to terminate under this clause (B) to the extent that MSCG (I) receives prior notice of such change and (II) provides its written consent thereto), with respect to which the Assignment Early Termination Date shall occur upon the date set forth in a written notice of such election as determined by MSCG; (c) Project Participant may, in its sole discretion, deliver a notice of termination of the Assignment Agreement if any of the following occur:
i. if MSCG fails to pay when due any amounts owed under the Assignment Agreement in respect of any Delivered Product Payment Obligation and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days following receipt by MSCG of written notice thereof, with respect to which the Assignment Early Termination Date shall occur upon the date set forth in a written notice of such election delivered by Project Participant;

Agenda Page 441
5 ii. if any change, event or effect occurs, including but not limited a change in applicable laws or regulations, any issues with PPA Seller or the PPA, a dispute under the PPA or other similar circumstance, that individually or collectively have or are reasonably expected by Project Participant to have a material adverse effect upon (A) Project Participant, (B) its rights and obligations under the Assignment Agreement, the Prepay Clean Energy Purchase Contract, or the PPA, or (C) the benefit Project Participant is receiving by assigning the Assigned Rights and Obligations, with respect to which the Assignment Early Termination Date shall be the date set forth in a written notice delivered by Project Participant to the PPA Seller and MSCG; provided that (x) Project Participant will provide notice to the PPA Seller and MSCG as soon as is reasonably possible that Project Participant anticipates exercising this termination right, and (y) Project Participant shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to propose and agree with MSCG upon a replacement Assignment Agreement prior to exercising this termination right.

Any such notice sent in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 shall specify therein the Assignment Early Termination Date.

Thereafter, the Parties shall meet to discuss the matter and attempt in good faith to reach a negotiated resolution of the dispute. If the Parties do not resolve the dispute by unanimous agreement within sixty (60) Days after receipt of the Dispute Response, (the “Negotiation Period”), then any Party may provide to the other Parties written notice of intent for judicial reference (the “Impasse Notice”) in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 8(c). ii. Applicability; Selection of Referees.
(A) Within ten days of the delivery of an Impasse Notice, each of MSCG and Project Participant shall nominate one (1) referee. The two (2) referees (the “Party-Appointed Referees”) shall appoint a third referee (the “Third Referee”).

A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the Parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP Section 170.6, each of Project Participant and MSCG shall have one (1) peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Court.
iii. Discovery; Proceedings.
(A) The Parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the Reference Proceeding.

(B) Discovery and other pre-hearing procedures shall be conducted as agreed to by the Parties, or if they cannot agree, as determined by the Third Referee after discussion with the Parties regarding the need for discovery and other pre-hearing procedures. (C) Except as expressly set forth herein, the Third Referee shall determine the manner in which the Reference Proceeding is conducted, including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the Reference Proceeding.

(D) All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referees, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any Party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referees, and the referees will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The Party

Agenda Page 446

iv. Decision. The referees shall render a written statement of decision setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. The decision shall be entered as a judgment in the court in accordance with the provisions of CCP Sections 644 and 645. The decision shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the Court. The Parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the CCP. v. Expenses. Each of MSCG and Project Participant shall bear the compensation and expenses of its respective Party-Appointed Referee, own counsel, witnesses, consultants and employees. All other expenses of judicial reference shall be split equally between MSCG and Project Participant.

10. Limitation of Liability.

Each Party shall have the right, upon 10 days’ prior written notice to the other Parties, to change its list of notice recipients and addresses in Exhibit B. The Parties may mutually agree in writing at any time to deliver notices, demands or requests through alternate or additional methods, such as electronic mail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may at any time notify the others that any notice, demand, statement or request to it must be provided by email transmissions for a specified period of time or until further notice, and any communications delivered by means other than email transmission during the specified period of time shall be ineffective. In the event that the Custodian, in its sole discretion, shall determine that an emergency exists, the Custodian may use such other means of communication as the Custodian deems appropriate.
(b) Exhibit A shall include each PPA Seller’s notice and payment information as set forth in the Assigned PPAs, and MSCG and Participant promptly shall cause such information to be updated to the extent there are any changes to such information under the Assigned PPAs.

The parties understand and agree that the Custodian cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such directions and that the Custodian shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided by a party to a Responsible Officer of the Custodian have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The party giving such instructions shall be solely responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such directions to the Custodian and that all Authorized Officers treat applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Custodian as confidential and with extreme care. The Custodian shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Custodian’s reliance upon and compliance with such directions notwithstanding that such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written direction. The party giving such directions agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means (defined below) to submit directions to the Custodian, including without limitation the risk of the Custodian acting on unauthorized directions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting directions to the Custodian and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting directions; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of directions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Custodian immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.
(d) As used herein, “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Custodian, or another method or system specified by the Custodian as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

(f) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 17. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement, including without limitation all obligations to make payments of any kind whatsoever, are special, limited obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the [Trust Estate] (as such term is defined in the Trust Indentures) as and to the extent provided in the Trust Indentures, including with respect to [Operating Expenses] (as such term is defined in the Trust Indentures).

Neither the faith and credit of the Issuer nor the taxing power of the State of California or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to payments pursuant to this Agreement. The Issuer shall not be directly, indirectly, contingently or otherwise liable for any costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims or actions, of any conceivable kind on any conceivable theory, under or by reasons of or in connection with this Agreement, except solely to the extent [Revenues] (as such term is defined in the Trust Indentures) are received for the payment thereof and may be applied therefor pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indentures.

USE OF PRODUCT
Section 7.1 Tax Exempt Status of the Bonds. Project Participant acknowledges that the Bonds will be issued with the intention that the interest thereon will be exempt from federal taxes under Section 103 of the Code. Accordingly, Project Participant agrees that it will (a) provide such information with respect to its community choice aggregation program as may be requested by Issuer in order to establish the tax-exempt status of the Bonds, and (b) act in accordance with such written instructions as Issuer may provide from time to time in order to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. Project Participant further agrees that it will not at any time take any

Agenda Page 500
-19-
action, or fail to take any action, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds.

Section 7.2 Priority Products. Project Participant agrees to purchase and receive the Contract Quantity to be delivered under this Agreement (a) in priority over and in preference to all other Products available to Project Participant that are not Priority Products; and (b) on at least a pari passu and non-discriminatory basis with other Priority Products.

Section 7.3 Assistance with Sales to Third Parties. If, notwithstanding Project Participant’s compliance with Section 7.1, Project Participant does not require all or any portion of the Contract Quantity to meet its requirements for Energy for any Hour that it is obligated to purchase under this Agreement as a result of (i) insufficient demand by Project Participant’s retail customers or (ii) a change in Law, Project Participant may, with reasonable notice issued in the form of a remarketing notice in accordance with Exhibit G, request that Prepaid Supplier, as permitted by the Prepaid Agreement, sell such portion of such Contract Quantity to another Municipal Utility. Any remarketing notice issued under clause (ii) above shall constitute a Structural Remarketing Notice (as defined in the Prepaid Agreement) and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in the Prepaid Agreement. If Prepaid Supplier makes such a sale under Exhibit C to the Prepaid Agreement, Issuer shall credit against the amount owed by Project Participant to Issuer hereunder the amount received by Issuer from Prepaid Supplier for such sales less all reasonable costs and expenses directly incurred by Issuer, including but not limited to remarketing administrative charges paid by it to Prepaid Supplier under the Prepaid Agreement, but in no event shall the amount of such credit be more than the Contract Price for the Energy so sold.

Section 7.4 Qualifying Use. Without limiting Project Participant’s other obligations under this Article VII, Project Participant agrees that, subject to Section 7.5, it will use all of the Product purchased under this Agreement in compliance with the Qualifying Use Requirements.

Project Participant agrees that it will provide such additional information, records and certificates as Issuer may reasonably request to confirm Project Participant’s compliance with this Section 7.4.

Section 7.5 Remediation.
(a) The Parties acknowledge that Project Participant may at times inadvertently remarket Products received hereunder in a manner that does not comply with Qualifying Use Requirements due to daily and hourly fluctuations in Project Participant’s Product needs. To the extent Project Participant does so, Project Participant shall (a) exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to use any Disqualified Sale Proceeds of such remarketing to purchase Products (other than Priority Products) that Project Participant then uses in compliance with the Qualifying Use Requirements and (b) reserve funds in an amount equal to any Disqualified Sale Proceeds until such Disqualified Sale Proceeds are remediated or transferred to the Trustee pursuant to Section

7.6(b) below.
(b) To the extent Base Energy is remarketed under Section 4.3 and any such remarketing results in a Ledger Entry (as defined in the Prepaid Agreement), Project Participant agrees that it shall (i) exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to use an amount equivalent to the remarketing proceeds associated with any such Ledger Entry to purchase Non-Priority

Agenda Page 501
-20-
Products and use such Non-Priority Products in compliance with the Qualifying Use Requirements in order to remediate such Ledger Entries; and (ii) apply its purchases of Non-Priority Products to remediate any such proceeds under the Prepaid Agreement prior to remediating such proceeds under any other contract that provides for the purchase of Priority Products. To track compliance with Project Participant’s obligations under this Section 7.5(b), Project Participant shall deliver a remediation certificate to Issuer and Prepaid Supplier by the tenth day of the Month subsequent to any relevant Non-Priority Products purchases (which may include purchases of Energy from CAISO to the extent such Energy is used in compliance with the Qualifying Use Requirements).

Section 7.6 Remediation; Ledger Entries; Redemption.
(a) Remediation. To track compliance with the requirements of Section 7.5(a), Project Participant will provide a quarterly report to Issuer (delivered not later than the 15th day of each April, July, October and January until the end of the Delivery Period) showing the following:
the total quantity of proceeds from sales of Products received hereunder that (i) were sold by Project Participant to any Person in a transaction that does not comply with the Qualifying Use Requirements and (ii) have not been remediated by Project Participant by applying such proceeds to purchase Products that are used in compliance with the Qualifying Use Requirements (the quantities of Product producing such proceeds, “Disqualified Sale Units” and such proceeds received, “Disqualified Sale Proceeds”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Project Participant shall not be required to provide such quarterly report for any quarter during which there are no Disqualified Sale Units and Disqualified Sale Proceeds. (b) Ledger Entries. Issuer shall report such unremediated Disqualified Sale Proceeds and the associated Disqualified Sale Units to Prepaid Supplier for addition to the remarketing ledgers maintained by Prepaid Supplier under the Prepaid Agreement, with the ledger entries to be dated as of the end of the first month of the relevant quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuer shall not be required to provide such report for any quarter during which there are no Disqualified Sale Units and Disqualified Sale Proceeds. (c) Transfers to Trustee. Project Participant shall transfer (to the extent such un-remediated Disqualified Sales Proceeds and associated Disqualified Sale Units remain reflected on the remarketing ledger described under Section 7.6(b) at the time such transfer is required by this Section 7.6(c)) any such un-remediated Disqualified Sale Proceeds and any other required funds (i.e., all additional funds necessary for redemption of the Bonds referred to in this Section

7.6(c)) to the Trustee at least 95 days prior to the second anniversary of the date on which such un-remediated Disqualified Sale Proceeds and the associated Disqualified Sale Units were first reflected on the remarketing ledgers in accordance with Section 7.6(b), with such funds to be deposited in the Debt Service Fund (as defined in the Trust Indenture) and applied to the redemption of Bonds as directed by Issuer and approved by Special Tax Counsel (as defined in the Trust Indenture) as preserving the tax-exempt status of the Bonds.
