WHEREAS, NCPA and the Project Members desire to pursue planning and
development activities including the investigation of the cost and feasibility of purchasing
such power from a Northwest resource, such as, by way of example, power in the amount
of 50 megawatts from the Washington Water Power Company; and
WHEREAS, the cost of such planning and development activities of purchasing
power from the resource (hereinafter referred to as the "Project") is estimated to be
S42,921; and
WHEREAS, the Project Members desire to enter into a second phase agreement
pursuant to the Member Service Agreements dated February 12, 1981, or successor
agreements, in order to formalize their understanding regarding sharing of the benefits and
burdens associated with their participation in the Project;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Obligation Formalized -Percentage Participation Collection and
Documentation. Each Project Member hereby agrees to continue to pay or advance to
NCPA, from its electric department revenues only, its percentage share of the costs

Phase 11 ,agent/NCPA/Washington Water Power/Northwest Resource 7/2/90 DEC
EXHIBIT "A"
t
sufficient money in its electric department revenue funds to meet this obligation. The
percentage participation of each NCPA member which has tentatively determined to be a
Project Member is initially established as follows:
Alameda 11.000%
Healdsburg 1.800
Lodi 11.300
Lompoc 2.600
Palo Alto 22.600
Roseville 11.200
Turlock 36.000
Ukiah 3.000
Total 100.000%
The above participation percentages shall be revised proportionately if less than all
of the above NCPA members become Project Members, and thereafter if and when any
Project Member withdraws in whole or in part Any Project Member wholly withdrawing
shall thereupon cease to be a Project Member for all purposes except for purposes of
section 4 of this Agreement.
Hereafter, NCPA shall demand from each and every Project Member its share of its
agreed to financial commitment on a concurrent basis. Any part of such demand by NCPA
which remains unpaid for sixty days after its billing date shall bear interest from such
sixtieth day at the reference rate of the Bank of America NT&SA then in effect, plus two
percent, computed on a daily basis percent until paid. Interest so earned shall not change
any Project Member's participation percentage, and shall become a part of the working
capital fund defined below.
The funds advanced according to this section 1 shall be used to establish a working
capital fund if and when approved by the Project Members, and in an amount and subject to
any limitations approved by the Project Members. Until a working capital fund is
established by the Project Members, funds advanced according to this section 1 shall not
be encumbered or expended.
Section 2. Limited Rights to Participate In Final Implementation and Financing.
(a) Discretion - Disposition of Proiecnacity and Energy. In
consideration of the payments provided for in section 1 of this Agreement each Project
Phase II Agmt/NOTA/Washington Water Power/Northwest Resource 7/2/90 DEC
{
Member who has not wholly withdrawn, or who is not then in default shall have an
exclusive option to enter into a Third Phase Agreement (or a Power Purchase Contract) for
all or a part of its participation percentage of rights to all Project capacity and energy for use
by NCPA members pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Increase in Purcha. A Project Member can, at the time of
entering into the Third Phase Agreement, purchase more than its participation percentage of
the Project if additional shares are available by reason of the nonparticipation in the Third
Phase Agreement by one or more Project Members. Such excess shares shall be offered to
those who do participate in the same proportion as their shares bear to the total shares of
those who do participate. If Project Members so entitled do not wish to contract for all the
excess shares, such remaining excess shall be disposed of as agreed to by the Project
Members.
(c) Exercise and Effect of Taking Less Than Full Entitlemen . The
Project Members shall establish the terms and provisions of an agreement for rights to
capacity and energy from the Project prior to the expiration of this Agreement, to be known
as the Third Phase Agreement. The Project Members shall also establish the date by which
the Third Phase Agreement must be executed by Project Members and delivered to NCPA
if they are to participate in the Project. Failure to execute the Tnird Phase Agreement for
any of its total participation share and to deliver it to NCPA by that date or 30 days after a
Project Member's receipt, whichever is later, will be an irrevocable decision on the part of
that Project Member not to participate in the Project. Execution and delivery of the Third
Phase Agreement for less than its total participation percentage and delivery of that Project
Member's executed agreement to NCPA by the date established or 30 days after the Project
Member's receipt, whichever is later, will likewise be an irrevocable decision on the part of
that Project Member not to participate in the Project in excess of the share set forth in its
delivered agreement Supplemental agreements or other agreements will be entered into for
the excess or surplus Project shares. The procedure for processing supplemental
agreements shall be consistent with those prescribed immediately above in this
subsection (c) for rights to Project capacity and energy. Failure to return an executed
agreement for any additional Project share within the prescribed period is an irrevocable
decision not to purchase such additional share. The Project Member making any herein
defined irrevocable decision not to participate in all of its share of the Project shall be
foreclosed from utilizing, and shall be relieved of further burdens related to, the share
which it has declined to purchase.

can be shown to support the completion of the Project but only after 30 days' written
notice of such proposed increase has been given to all Project Members.
Section 7. Assignment.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
NCPA requires funds to carry out the terms of this Agreement prior to the receipt of
adequate funds from the Project Members, NCPA may, upon approval of the Project
Members, assign its right to receive any payments under this Agreement to a bank or other
financial institution to secure a borrowing by NCPA or in exchange for an amount of
money equal to the then present value of those payments as determined by NCPA. Project
Members hereby consent to such assignment, and upon notification in writing by NCPA,
each such Project Member will make each such assigned payment directly to the assignee.
The assignee shall not be liable to Project Members for the amounts as assigned, and
NCPA shall use the proceeds of such borrowing or assignment for the purposes provided
in this Agreement.
If an assignment is made under this section, then upon the failure of
any Project Member to make any payment so assigned, the percentage participation of each
non -defaulting Project Member shall be automatically increased for the term of the
assignment pro rata with that of the other non -defaulting Project Members, and the
-3-
Phase 11 Agmt/NCPA/Washington Water Power/Northwest Resource 7/2/90 DEC
defaulting Project Member's Percentage Participation shall (but only for purposes of
computing the respective Percentage Participation of the non -defaulting Project Members)
be reduced correspondingly; provided that the sum of such increase for any non -defaulting
Project Member shall not exceed without written consent of the non -defaulting Project
Members an accumulated maximum of 25% of the non -defaulting Project Member's
original Percentage Participation.
If the Project Member fails or refuses to pay any amounts due to
NCPA, the fact that other Project Members increase their obligations to make such
payments shall not relieve the defaulting Project Member of its liability for such payments
and any Project Member increasing such obligation shall have a right of recovery from the
defaulting Project Member to the extent of such respective increase.
In addition, NCPA may terminate the provisions of this Agreement
insofar as they entitle the defaulting Project Member to its Percentage Participation of
Project output.
(b) For the purposes of such assignment, NCPA may fix and
schedule the total amount payable by each Project Member into any number of semi-annual
payments, not Iess than four nor to exceed ten, and the dates on which such payments will
be made, and each Project Member agrees to abide by such schedule. NCPA shall provide
a reasonable opportunity for any Project Member to prepay its total obligation.
(c) After such an assignment is made, no Project Member may
avoid the obligation so assigned by withdrawal pursuant to section 8 hereof or otherwise.
(d) If NCPA makes an assignment pursuant to this section, it
may transfer any or all of its rights and duties to a nonprofit corporation formed to act on
behalf of NCPA if the voting power of the members of such corporation is distributed in
the same manner as that provided in sections 3 and 9 of this Agreement.
Section 8. Withdrawal From Further Participation. If at any time following the
execution of this Agreement, there is an increase in NCPA's financial commitment pursuant
to section 6, Project Members may partially withdraw, i.e., from participation in the
increase, or may withdraw wholly from the Project. Such withdrawal shall be subject to
honoring any commitments made by them or on their behalf pursuant to authorization of
this Agreement. To withdraw, such Project Members shall give NCPA written notice of
such withdrawal, in part or in whole, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the notice by

Section 9. Voting Rights and Duration. A Project Member is participating for
purposes of section 3 percentage voting until it completely withdraws, but a partial or
complete withdrawal will result in a corresponding reduction in its percentage participation.
When the Third Phase Agreement is executed, or revised, revised participation percentages
shall be established by dividing the amount of Project share agreed to be purchased by each
Project Member by the total amount of Project shares to be purchased by all Project
Members. For voting purposes and for establishing a quorum in this Agreement and in the
Third Phase Agreement, the 65% of percentage participation specified in sections 3 and 10
shall be reduced by the amount that the percentage participation of any Project Member
exceeds 35%, but such 65% shall not be reduced below a majority in interest.
Section 10. Quorum Defined. The presence of either a majority of the
Project Members, or of Project Members then having a combined participation percentage
of at least 65% shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of action.

Project Member is initially established as follows:
Alameda 14.400%
Healdsburg 2.400
Lodi 15.400
Lompoc 3.400
Roseville 15.600

Total 100.000%
The above participation percentages shall be revised proportionately if less than all
of the above NCPA members become Project Members. and thereafter if and when any
Project Member withdraws in whole or in part. Any Project Member wholly withdrawing
shall thereupon cease to be a Project Member for all purposes except for purposes of
section 4 of this Agreement.
Hereafter, NCPA shall demand from each and every Project Member its share of its
agreed to financial commitment on a concurrent basis. Any part of such demand by NCPA
which remains unpaid for sixty days after its billing date shall bear interest from such
sixtieth day at the reference rate of the Bank of America NT&SA then in effect, plus two
percent, computed on a daily basis percent until paid. Interest so earned shall not change
any Project Member's participation percentage, and shall become a part of the working
capital fund defined below.
The funds advanced according to this section 1 shall be used to establish a working
capital fund if and when approved by the Project Members, and in an amount and subject to
any limitations approved by the Project Members. Until a working capital fund is
established by the Project Members, funds advanced according to this section 1 shall not
be encumbered or expended..
Section 2. Limited Rights to Participate In Final Implementation and Financing.
(a) Discretion - Disposition of Project Capacity and Energy. In
consideration of the payments provided for in section 1 of this Agreement each Project
Member who has not wholly withdrawn, or who is not then in default shall have an
exclusive option to enter into a Third Phase Agreement (or a Power Purchase Contract) for
Phase 11 Agmt/NCPA/Thousand Springs Coal Resource 7/2/90 DEC
all or a part of its participation percentage of rights to all Project capacity and energy for use
by NCPA members pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Increase in Purchase. A Project Member can, at the time of entering
into the Third Phase Agreement, purchase more than its participation percentage of the
Project if additional shares are available by reason of the nonparticipation in the Third
Phase Agreement by one or more Project Members. Such excess shares shall be offered to
those who do participate in the same proportion as their shares bear to the total shares of
those who do participate. If Project Members so entitled do not wish to contract for all the
excess shares, such remaining excess shall be disposed of as agreed to by the Project
Members.
(c) Exercise and Effect of Taking Less Than Fill Entitlement. The
Project Members shall establish the terms and provisions of an agreement for rights to
capacity and energy from the Project prior to the expiration of this Agreement, to be known
as the Third Phase Agreement. The Project Members shall also establish the date by which
the Third Phase Agreement must be executed by Project Members and delivered to NCPA
if they are to participate in the Project. Failure to execute the Third Phase Agreement for
any of its total participation share and to deliver it to NCPA by that date or 30 days after a
Project Member's receipt, whichever is later, will be an irrevocable decision on the part of
that Project Member not to participate in the Project. Execution and delivery of the Third
Phase Agreement for less than its total participation percentage and delivery of that Project
Member's executed agreement to NCPA by the date established or 30 days after the Project
Member's receipt, whichever is later, will likewise be an irrevocable decision on the part of
that Project Member not to participate in the Project in excess of the share set forth in its
delivered agreement. Supplemental agreements or other agreements will be entered into for
the excess or surplus Project shares. The procedure for processing supplemental
agreements shall be consistent with those prescribed immediately above in this
subsection (c) for rights to Project capacity and energy. Failure to return an executed
agreement for any additional Project share within the prescribed period is an irrevocable
decision not to purchase such additional share. The Project Member making any herein
defined irrevocable decision not to participate in all of its share of the Project shall be
foreclosed from utilizing, and shall be relieved of further burdens related to, the share
which it has declined to purchase.
Section 3. Member Direction and Review. NCPA shall comply with all lawful
directions of the Project Members with respect to this Agreement, while not stayed or

giving above directions to NCPA, will be taken only at meetings of authorized
representatives of Project Members duly called and held pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown
Act. Ordinarily, voting by representatives of Project Members will be on a one
member/one vote basis, with a majority vote required for action; however, upon request of
a Project Member representative, the voting on an issue will be by percentage participation
with 65% or more favorable vote necessary to carry the action_
Any decision related to the Project taken by the favorable vote of representation of
Project Members holding less than 65% of percentage participation can be reviewed and
revised if a Project Member holding any participation percentage gives Notice of Intention
to seek such review and revision to each other Project Member within 48 hours after
receiving written notice of such action. If such Notice of Intention is so given, any action
taken specified in the notice shall be nullified, unless the NCPA Commissioners of Project
Members holding at least 65% of the total participation percentage then in effect vote in
favor thereof at a regular or specially called meeting of Project Members. If the Notice of
Intention concerned a failure to act, such action shall nevertheless be taken if NCPA
Commissioners of Project Members holding at least 65% of the total Participation
Percentage vote in favor thereof at a regular or specially called meeting of Project Members.
Section 4. Conditional Repayment to Members. All payments and advances
made heretofore, and those hereafter made pursuant to section 1 of this Agreement,
excluding interest paid on delinquent payments, shall be repaid to each of the entities
making such payments and advances pursuant to this Agreement out of the proceeds of the
first issuance of the Project bonds which can economically provide therefor, or as and
when there are sufficient funds available from partial sale of bonds, if bonds, notes, or
other evidences of indebtedness are issued to support the Project. Such reimbursements
shall be made within 60 days following the sale of any Project bonds and shall include
interest computed monthly at a rate equivalent to the end of the month reference rate of the
Bank of America NT&SA. Any interest due under the third paragraph of section 1 of this
Agreement and unpaid shall be deducted from the repayment. If NCPA determines to
complete the Project, but is not successful in obtaining all necessary approvals and
financing therefor, there shall be no reimbursement except out of unused Project funds
including those then in the working capital fund. along with all other receipts to which
NCPA is entitled in connection with the Project.

can be shown to support the completion of the Project but only after 30 days' written
notice of such proposed increase has been given to all Project Members.
Section 7. Assignment.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
NCPA requires funds to carry out the terns of this Agreement prior to the receipt of
adequate funds from the Project Members, NCPA may, upon approval of the Project
Members, assign its right to receive any payments under this Agreement to a bank or other
financial institution to secure a borrowing by NCPA or in exchange for an amount of
money equal to the then present value of those payments as determined by NCPA. Project
Members hereby consent to such assignment, and upon notification in writing by NCPA,
each such Project Member will make each such assigned payment directly to the assignee.
The assignee shall not be liable to Project Members for the amounts as assigned. and
NCPA shall use the proceeds of such borrowing or assignment for the purposes provided
in this Agreement.
If an assignment is made under this section, then upon the failure of
any Project Member to make any payment so assigned, the percentage participation of each
non -defaulting Project Member shall be automatically increased for the term of the
assignment pro rata with that of the other non -defaulting Project Members, and the
defaulting Project Member's Percentage Participation shall (but only for purposes of
computing the respective Percentage Participation of the non -defaulting Project Members)
-5-

be reduced correspondingly; provided that the sum of such increase for any non -defaulting
Project Member shall not exceed without written consent of the non -defaulting Project
Members an accumulated maximum of 25% of the non -defaulting Project Member's
original Percentage Participadon.
If the Project Member fails or refuses to pay any amounts due to
NCPA, the fact that other Project Members increase their obligations to make such
payments shall not relieve the defaulting Project Member of its liability for such payments
and any Project Member increasing such obligation shall have a right of recovery from the
defaulting Project Member to the extent of such respective increase.
In addition, NCPA may terminate the provisions of this Agreement
insofar as they entitle the defaulting Project Member to its Percentage Participation of
Project output_
(b)For the purposes of such assignment. NCPA may rix and
schedule the total amount payable by each Project Member into any number of semi-annual
payments, not less than four nor to exceed ten, and the dates on which such payments will
be made, and each Project Member agrees to abide by such schedule. NCPA shall provide
f a reasonable opportunity for any Project Member to prepay its total obligation.
(c) After such an assignment is made, no Project Member may
avoid the obligation so assigned by withdrawal pursuant to section 8 hereof or otherwise.
(d) If NCPA makes an assignment pursuant to this section, it
may transfer any or all of its rights and duties to a nonprofit corporation formed to act on
behalf of NCPA if the voting power of the members of such corporation is distributed in
the same manner as that provided in sections 3 and 9 of this Agreement.
Section 8. Withdrawal From Futcher Participation. If at any time following the
execution of this Agreement, there is an increase in NCPA's financial commitment pursuant
to section 6, Project Members may partially withdraw, i.e., from participation in the

honoring any commitments made by them or on their behalf pursuant to authorization of
this Agreement. To withdraw, such Project Members shall give NCPA written notice of
such withdrawal, in part or in whole, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the notice by
them of the increase.
Section 9. Voting Rights and Duration. A Project Member is participating for
purposes of section 3 percentage voting until it completely withdraws, but a partial or
complete withdrawal will result in a corresponding reduction in its percentage participation.

Phase [I Agmt/NCPA/Thousand Springs Coal Resource 7/2/90 DEC
When the Third Phase Agreement is executed, or revised, revised participation percentages
shall be established by dividing the amount of Project share agreed to be purchased by each
Project Member by the total amount of Project shares to be purchased by all Project
Members. For voting purposes and for establishing a quorum in this Agreement and in the
Third Phase Agreement, the 65% of percentage participation specified in sections 3 and 10
shall be reduced by the amount that the percentage participation of any Project Member
exceeds 35%, but such 65% shall not be reduced below a majority in interest.
