Construction of Borough's System. a) KEA shall provide the Borough with a set of specifications to which the Borough's Interruptible Electric System must conform in order to ensure technical compatibility with KEA's requirements for delivery of the Interruptible Electric Service. The Borough shall be responsible for the design, selection, purchase, and installation of Borough's Interruptible Electric System at KFRC. Within thirty (30) days of the Operational Date for KFRC, KEA shall reimburse Borough for the expenses paid by Borough for the design, selection, purchase and installation of the Borough's Interruptible Electric System at that particular facility.

Such amount shall be due and payable within ninety (90) days of termination or cessation under this Agreement. i) For example, if the Agreement is terminated for Borough's default on January 1, 2030, and the first Operational Date is January 1, 2020, the payback amount would be: Amount KEA Reimbursed to Borough x (1 — (120 / 180)) Interruptible Electric Service Sales Agreement— Kodiak Island Borough Page Section 4. Operations. a) Supply of Interruptible Electric Service. Beginning on the Operational Date, KEA will supply Interruptible Electric Service to Borough under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is agreed to and understood by both parties that Interruptible Electric Service will be supplied to KFRC on an Interruptible Basis and that all heat generated by the Borough's System is Supplemental Heat. KEA may increase, interrupt, curtail, or limit the delivery of Interruptible Electric Service at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to: inadequate actual or projected hydroelectric or wind energy, grid frequency response, to best match various other interruptible customer loads to available surplus hydroelectric or wind energy, and to optimize the reliability and efficiency of service to KEA's firm customers. b) Borough Primary Heat System. Borough shall be solely responsible at all times to operate and maintain in a fully functioning mannerKFRC's Primary Heat System. Borough shall be solely responsible at all times to maintain an adequate fuel supply to meet the full heating demand of KFRC. c) Operation. KEA shall be solely responsible for determining the amount of Interruptible Electric Service to provide to the Borough's System. KEA, and Borough agree to the integration of an electric boiler with the Primary Heat System. Borough shall ensure that KEA has access to data regarding the heat output of Borough's System, the heat output of Borough's Primary Heat System and the actual and desired temperatures for KFRC. Borough shall be solely responsible for determining the temperature at which to operate KFRC. The Borough's System shall be designed by Borough to limit receipt of Interruptible Electric Service when not needed to meet the Borough's desired temperature at KFRC. d) Borough Option to Operate Electric Heat System.. Upon reasonable written notice to KEA and subject to KEA's available capacity, Borough may request that KEA supply electricity to Borough's System at a time KEA is not already providing Interruptible Electric Service, or is not providing sufficient Interruptible Electric Service to meet Borough's needs. Electric service provided at Borough's request under this Subsection shall be charged at the applicable KEA Tariff commercial rate, including the Cost of Power Adjustment, even though it is being used to generate Supplemental Heat. e) Priority Interruptible Electric Service provided under this Agreement will have no priority over KEA's provision of service to any other firm or interruptible customer. f) Delivery Point. The KEA electric meter(s) at KFRC shall be the point of delivery for Interruptible Electric Service. No load other than Borough's System shall be connected to the meter at the Delivery Point.

System Maintenance. a) Maintenance Responsibility. Borough shall be responsible for maintaining the Borough's System. KEA shall be responsible for maintaining KEA's electric distribution system up to the Delivery Point(s). b) Failure to Maintain. If Borough fails to properly maintain Borough's System in a fully functioning and environmentally safe manner, KEA shall have the right to suspend service until Borough remedies the problem. If the failure continues for more than one hundred and twenty (120) days, KEA may treat the failure as a Default by Borough. Section 6. Payment Obligations. a) Commencement. Borough's payment obligation described in this section to KEA shall start on the Operational Date and remain in effect through the term of this Agreement. b) Billing. At KEA's option, billing may be accomplished by separate invoice or by including a line item on Borough's existing electric service bill. Payment terms and conditions shall be in accordance with KEA's Tariff. c) Fixed Charge. For each meter installed to provide Interruptible Electric Service, Borough shall pay Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($7.50) as a monthly charge to cover the average cost of meter reading and billing. d) Variable Charge. In addition to the Fixed Charge, Borough shall pay a monthly variable energy charge based on electricity consumed ("Variable Charge"). The Variable Charge is designed to charge Ninety Percent (90%) of Borough's estimated avoided fuel cost from utilizing Interruptible Electric Service to generate heat. An electric meter ("meter") shall be installed at KFRC and will measure and record in kWh the Interruptible Electric Service provided to Borough. The meter shall be read on a monthly basis and the amount owed for the monthly energy charge for Interruptible Electric Service shall be determined from the following formula: Monthly Variable Charge = 90% x Equivalent Fuel Savings (Gal) x Fuel Price Where: Equivalent Fuel Savings = Electric Energy x 0.0318 ii) Electric Energy = amount of Interruptible Electric Service measured in units of kWh as recorded by the meter(s) for the billing period. Interruptible Electnc Service Sales Agreement — Kodiak Island Borough Page 5 iii) .0318 is the calculation of estimated heating value of a kWh of electricity where: 3,414 BTU is equal to one (1) kWh; 134,000 BTU is the energy content of one gallon of #1 diesel; 80% is the assumed net oil fired boiler efficiency; and 3,414 BTU/kWh10.80 (134,000 BTU/Gal) = 0.0318 Gal/kWh iv) "Fuel Price" is the average price paid by Borough for heating fuel delivered to KFRC. The Fuel Price will be revised each month. Borough shall provide a monthly report to KEA stating the delivered fuel price paid by Borough for fuel delivered to KFRC. Such report shall include copies of fuel invoices and shall be received by KEA no later than the 10th day of each month. KEA will calculate the Variable Charge for the prior month and invoice Borough no later than the 151h day of the month. The invoice shall be based on the previous month's meter reading and purchased fuel cost. e) Sample Variable Amount Calculation. If the Borough's Fuel Price for May 2021 is $3.00 per gallon and Borough receives 100,000 kWh of Interruptible Electric Service during that month, the Variable Amount due on the June 2021 invoice would be: 90% x (100,000 kwh x.0318) x $3.00 = $8,586 Section 8. Insurance and Indemnification. a) Indemnification. Each party shall indemnify, defend, and hold the other party harmless from any liability, action, claim, suit, loss, property damage, or personal injury of any kind resulting from or arising out of any act of commission or omission by the party, its agents, employees, or customers, or arising from or connected with the exercise of the rights and privileges granted by this Agreement, except as provided in subsection c below. b) Insurance. Each party shall be responsible for obtaining its own insurance for its facilities and indemnity obligations. c) No Liability for Certain Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement: (i) KEA will not be liable for any damage or loss to persons or property arising out of the operation of the Borough's System unless the damage or loss was caused by KEA's sole and exclusive negligence; and (ii) KEA will not be liable for any damage or loss caused by failure to provide Interruptible Electric Service to Borough.

Provided, however, that if such matter cannot, with due diligence and good faith, be cured within such ten (10) day period (unless such default is incapable of being cured due to the nature thereof), the defaulting Party shall not be in Default if said Party shall commence the cure within such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues the cure thereof.
