A party shall be deemed in default hereunder if any of the warranties or representations set forth herein are or become untrue or if it fails to meet, comply with, or perform any covenant, agreement, or obligation on its part required within the time limits and in the manner required in this Agreement for any reason other than a default by the other party hereunder or termination of this Agreement prior to Close of Escrow.

7.2 Opportunity to Cure. No act, failure to act, event or circumstance which might be deemed to be a default by either party shall be deemed to be a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless and until, notice thereof is first given by the non-defaulting party to the party alleged to be in default and said party fails to cure the alleged default within fifteen (15) days in the case of a non-monetary default, or five (5) days in the case of a monetary default.

7.3 Remedies. If a party is deemed to be in default hereunder, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to termination of this Agreement, at its discretion.

7.4 Damages.

7.5 Liquidated Damages. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE AND ENTERED INTO, SELLER’S DAMAGES UPON DEFAULT

DAMAGES THE SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN BECAUSE OF SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHER, BUYER DESIRES TO HAVE A LIMIT PLACED

ON THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES TO BE PAID TO THE SELLER UPON BUYER'S DEFAULT. BUYER HEREBY AGREES THAT SHOULD BUYER DEFAULT IN THE

CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MONETARY REMEDY AVAILABLE TO

SELLER AS A RESULT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.5 DO NOT LIMIT ANY DAMAGES

DUE SELLER BY REASON OF BUYER' S ENTRY ONTO THE PROPERTIES PRIOR TO

WHEREAS, Riverside and SCE entered into a Letter Agreement on April 11, 2006, which provided the terms and conditions for SCE to begin the engineering, design and preparation of specifications for the SCE Interconnection Facilities, perform studies regarding requirements for right-of-way for Wildlife Substation and the approximately 8.25 miles of double circuit transmission line required for the interconnection with SCE’s existing Vista and Mira Loma Substations, commence preparation of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“CPCN”) application and perform other work as necessary. The Letter Agreement also provides for Riverside to pay all of SCE's charges and expenses incurred for work performed by SCE pursuant to the Letter Agreement, and includes the Parties’ intent that any successor agreement include terms whereby SCE shall reimburse Riverside for any costs incurred for any required network transmission facilities, if and to the extent that the FERC grants SCE rate recovery for such costs. The Letter Agreement provides that it will terminate upon the effective date of an interconnection agreement.

WHEREAS, Riverside requested that SCE file the necessary Interconnection Facilities Agreement (“IFA”) unexecuted and unilaterally at FERC and subsequently, the Parties entered 2 into a Settlement Agreement and the IFA on March 9, 2009, which, among other things, specified the terms for SCE to provide Interconnection service; and for SCE to (i) engineer, design, construct, install, own, operate and maintain Wildlife Substation; (ii) engineer, design, construct, install, own, operate and maintain the Mira Loma-Vista 230kV Line Loop into Wildlife Substation; (iii) interconnect the 230/69 kV Riverside Wilderness Substation to Wildlife Substation; (iv) purchase from Riverside the land required for Wildlife Substation; and (v) reimburse Riverside for certain amounts paid to SCE as specified in the IFA.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the IFA, SCE will construct, own, and operate Wildlife Switchyard and the transmission facilities between Wildlife Switchyard and SCE’s Mira Loma and Vista Substations. Furthermore, SCE will construct, own, and operate the facilities interconnecting SCE’s Wildlife Switchyard and Riverside’s Wilderness Substation. Riverside will support the 230kV project coordination in collaboration with SCE, and Riverside will construct, own, and operate the new 230/69kV RPU Wilderness Substation and expansion of RPU’s 69kV sub- transmission system.

WHEREAS, the parties have identified certain project components that are common and/or interdependent overlapping tasks for SCE and RPU and that will require close collaboration.

Consistent with Exhibit A, those tasks include the following, which are collectively referred to as “RTRP Common Work”:

Project activities related to the Substation site development and 230kV transmission line work:
o Pre-design, pre-Construction site activities e.g. Surveying, Mapping, Geotech analysis; o Rough grading design, wall design, common fence (on property line) design, landscaping design, including landscape water line and street improvement design including erosion/sedimentation control, retaining wall design, external street improvements such as but not limited to paving, curb and gutter, streetlights, and street signs; o Environment activities related to grading, soil evaluation, soil overhaul, environment mitigation measures and site access matters;
