Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 12, 1999, Berry Petroleum Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), purchased certain assets, known as the Placerita oilfield, from Aera Energy, LLC for the aggregate consideration of $35 million (net of operations from December 31, 1998). The consideration was paid for by borrowing from the Company's unsecured credit facility. The Company has been operating the oilfield since December 31, 1998.
The Placerita oilfield is comprised of six leases (three are federal leases) and two fee properties totaling approximately 700 acres, which are currently producing approximately 2,800 net barrels per day of 13 degree gravity crude oil from 120 producing wells and 56 continuous steam injectors. Berry estimates the proved reserves at approximately 20 million barrels of which 65% are developed. The acquisition also includes a 42 megawatt cogeneration facility which generates electricity and which provides approximately 13,500 barrels of steam per day for injection into the oil reservoir. This cogeneration facility has two Standard Offer 2 electrical sales contracts with a major utility, one of which expires in 2002 and one in 2010.

7. PRE-ACQUISITION REVIEW.
(a) Review. Commencing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsection 7(b) and ending one (1) day before the Closing Date (the "Review Period"), Berry and its employees, agents and contractors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do the following (the "Pre-Acquisition Review"), at its sole cost and expense but with the cooperation and assistance of Aera:
(1) To the extent Aera has the right to grant such rights to Berry, and only after notice to any operator of the Property, to enter all or any part of the Property at any reasonable time and from time to time, during the Review Period, and to inspect, inventory, investigate (including environmental assessments and evaluations), study and examine the same and the operations conducted thereon; and
(2) To inspect and review at Aera's office located in Bakersfield, California, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, all non-privileged and non-proprietary files, records, documents and data related to the above matters, including, but not limited to, any of the following which Aera may have: Original Well Record Files on all wells, Regulatory, Accounting, Marketing, Environmental, Pipeline, Maintenance, Transportation, Processing, Production and Engineering files and records. Non-proprietary files, records, documents and data mean those which do not constitute Proprietary Data as described in subsection 1(j) above.
(b) Conditions to Review. Prior to the commencement of the Pre- Acquisition Review, the following conditions must be satisfied:
(1) Berry may, but is not required to, deliver a Pre-Acquisition Review plan to Aera, including the identity of any party participating in or associated with the plan and an estimated timetable for events under the plan. Such plan, if completed, must be approved in writing by Aera;
(2) Berry shall sign and deliver to Aera an Agreement for Indemnification and Responsibility for Damages in the form of Exhibit "G" attached hereto (the "Indemnification Agreement");
(3) Berry shall maintain the results of its investigation and evaluation and review of files and records, including title examination reviews, confidential in accordance with the provisions, terms and conditions of that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated November 13, 1998 (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "E";
(4) Berry shall provide Aera a copy of any non-privileged or non- proprietary assessment reports of or about the Property, including, without limitation, any reports, data and conclusions developed pursuant to the Pre- Acquisition Review, promptly after such assessment report has been furnished to or obtained by Berry, and Aera shall be permitted to discuss the contents of any such assessment reports with the party who prepared such reports; and
(5) Berry and its employees, agents and consultants shall abide by Aera's (or the operator's with respect to non-Aera operated properties) safety rules, regulations and other operating policies applicable to the Property while conducting their activities on the Property.
(c) Review Results.
(1) If, as a result of the Pre-Acquisition Review, Berry determines in
its sole judgment that, as to any portion of the Property: (i) the
environmental condition thereof is unacceptable for Berry's purposes;
(ii) there has been such a substantial deterioration in the physical condition
of the Property since November 1, 1998, that Berry will be unable to continue
to possess, operate, use or maintain the Property in the same manner and to
the same extent possessed, operated, used or maintained by Aera before the
Effective Date (provided, however, a lack of equipment on the Property shall
not be considered a substantial deterioration in the physical condition of
the Property for purposes of this subsection unless the equipment was removed
by Aera from the Property between November 1, 1998, and the Effective Date
without Berry's consent and the lack of such removed equipment will materially
adversely affect Berry's ability to use, operate or maintain the Property after
Closing); or (iii) the extent of existing, potential or contingent liabilities
pose or create an unacceptable risk; then, Berry may give written notice to
Aera on or before the last day of the Review Period of such condition. Such
notice shall include Berry's estimated cost to cure or remedy the listed
conditions. Failure to give any such notice within the Review Period shall
foreclose Berry from securing the benefits of subsection 7(c)(2) and shall
not excuse Berry for failing to close because of matters arising out of such
Pre-Acquisition Review.
(2) Upon receipt of such notice, if the aggregate of the conditions set forth in the notice are Material (as defined below), the Closing Date shall be automatically extended for thirty (30) days unless both Parties agree in writing to the contrary. Within the period between the date of receipt of such notice and the extended Closing Date, Aera may, at its option and in its sole discretion, (i) remedy or agree to remedy, to a degree agreed upon prior to Closing, such condition (in the event current remediation of such condition is required by a Federal, State or local agency, Aera and Berry agree that the condition shall be remedied in accordance with and to the satisfaction of the appropriate agency's requirements), (ii) agree with Berry on an adjustment to the Purchase Price which adjustment shall reflect Berry's cost to remedy such conditions, or (iii) remove the affected portion or portions of the Property from the Property to be conveyed and agree with Berry to adjust the Purchase Price accordingly. The failure to do one of the above prior to the extended Closing Date shall permit either Party to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to the other on or before the extended Closing Date. Upon the giving of such termination notice, neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for Berry's obligations and Aera's rights under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement.
(3) If the aggregate of the conditions set forth in the notice are not Material, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Aera shall have the option at its sole discretion to remove the affected portion or portions of the Property from the Property to be conveyed and agree with Berry to adjust the Purchase Price accordingly. If Aera elects to remove the Property, the failure to agree on an adjustment to the Purchase Price shall permit either Party to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to the other on or before the Closing Date. Upon the giving of such termination notice, neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for Berry's obligations and Aera's rights under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement. If Aera does not elect to remove the affected portion or portions of the Property, Berry shall acquire the affected portions of the Property "where is" and "as is" with no right to recover from Aera for any liabilities, costs or expenses related to such conditions (including, without limitation, environmental conditions and damages to natural resources). Acquisition of the Property containing such non-material conditions "where is" and "as is" shall constitute Berry's general release and agreement to defend, indemnify and hold Aera, its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from all liabilities, costs or expenses related to such non-material conditions (including, without limitation, non-material environmental conditions and damages to natural resources).
(4) For purposes of this subsection 7(c), "Material" shall be defined as a cost to cure or remedy in excess of One Million and No Hundredths Dollars ($1,000,000.00). If Aera agrees to remedy specific adverse conditions then Berry and Aera agree that all negotiations and contacts with state, federal and local agencies for approval and review of such remedial action shall be made by Aera.
8. BASELINE STUDY. Berry and Aera hereby agree that a Pre- Acquisition Review assessment report of the Property by Berry, if made, shall establish the true and correct condition of the Property as of the Effective Date and such assessment report shall be used as the only environmental, safety or other baseline study in the event a dispute arises after Closing concerning the condition of the Property, unless Aera gives notice to Berry within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Pre-Acquisition Review assessment report that it is contesting the results of or the conclusions reached in such assessment report in which case such Pre-Acquisition Review assessment report shall not be deemed the sole baseline study. Aera shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to conduct its own assessment of the Property. If prior to Closing, Aera determines, either from its own assessment, Berry's assessment or otherwise, that an adverse environmental condition may exist on any portion of the Property, then Aera may, in its sole discretion, either (i) remove the affected portion of the Property from the Property being conveyed and agree with Berry to an adjusted Purchase Price or (ii) terminate this Agreement by giving notice of such termination to Berry in writing prior to Closing. The rights and obligations of the Parties after such notice is given shall be as specified in the next sentence. If Aera and Berry cannot agree on the proper adjustment to the Purchase Price, either Party may give written notice to the other Party prior to Closing to terminate this Agreement and upon the giving of such notice, neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for Berry's obligations and Aera's rights under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement.
In the event both Aera and Berry elect not to conduct Pre-Acquisition Review assessment reports, both Parties agree that the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report dated October 27, 1998, prepared by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants for Mobil Business Resources Corporation shall serve as the baseline study for purposes of this subsection.
9. DISCLAIMERS/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
(a) No Warranty, Express Or Implied. CONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY SHALL BE WITHOUT WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS, STATUTORY, OR IMPLIED AS TO TITLE, DESCRIPTION, PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY), QUALITY, VALUE, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.
Berry shall satisfy itself, prior to the Closing, as to the type, condition, quality and extent of the property and property interests which comprise the Property it is receiving pursuant to this Agreement and under this sale. Berry shall have the right of full substitution and subrogation to any and all rights and actions of which Aera has or may have against any and all preceding owners or vendors of the Property other than affiliates of Aera.
(b) Acknowledgments of Berry at Closing. By closing on the transaction
provided for in the Agreement, Berry shall be deemed to have acknowledged
and does acknowledge and admit that: (i) Berry has been given the
opportunity to adequately inspect the Property for all purposes prior to
Closing; (ii) Berry is aware that the Property has been used for the
exploration, development, production, treating and transporting of oil and
gas and that physical changes may have occurred as a result of such use and
that Aera has disclosed, and Berry is further aware, that there exists the
possibility that there could have occurred from such use one or more releases
of hazardous substances or releases of Chemical Substances [as defined in
subsection 20(c)(3) below] into, or other pollution or contamination of or
into, the ambient air, surface water, ground water, or land surface and
subsurface strata of any real property included in the Property and of
contiguous, or a series of contiguous, real properties not associated with
the Property; (iii) Berry has entered into this Agreement on the basis of its
own investigation of the physical condition of the Property and the land
related thereto (including the environmental condition of the Property);
(iv) Berry with full knowledge of the foregoing and after conducting the
above described investigation and evaluation IS ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY ON A
"WHERE IS" AND "AS IS" BASIS, and Berry, by acquiring the Property on a
"where is" and "as is" basis waives any other rights of indemnification,
contribution or recourse it may have against or from Aera with respect to
the condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the
environmental condition of the Property and damage to natural resources
associated with the Property; (v) Berry shall further acknowledge that it
has received from Aera prior to Closing a written notice pursuant to
section 25359.7(a) of the California Health and Safety Code and
that a copy of such written notice is attached hereto as Schedule "9(b)"; and
(vi) Berry shall further acknowledge that it has had the full opportunity to
review and is aware of the matters with respect to the Property which are
identified in Schedule "9(c)" attached hereto.
10. INDEPENDENT EVALUATION. Berry has made an independent evaluation of the Property and acknowledges that Aera has made no statements or representations concerning the present or future value of the anticipated income, costs, or profits, if any, to be derived from the Property or the quantity and quality of any oil and gas or other minerals that may be produced from the Property and THAT AERA DOES NOT IMPLIEDLY OR EXPRESSLY WARRANT DESCRIPTION, TITLE, VALUE, QUALITY, PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY), MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE OF ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR THE WELLS, EQUIPMENT, PIPELINES FACILITIES, OR OTHER PROPERTY LOCATED THEREON OR USED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. Berry further acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it has relied solely upon its independent examination of the Property and public records relating to the Property and its independent estimates, computations, evaluations, reports and studies based thereon. All information and data furnished to Berry by Aera is believed to be accurate and correct to the best of Aera's knowledge without investigation; however, Aera makes no warranty or representation as to the accuracy or correctness of any information furnished to Berry. Any reliance Berry makes on such information is at Berry's sole risk. Berry acknowledges that it is aware that accounting reports, files and records made available to Berry during the Review Period specified in section 9 hereof or otherwise furnished to or made available to Berry for review may not incorporate all revenue and cost data up to and through the date of the accounting reports, files, records or information provided, and further inquiry by Berry may be required to obtain such revenue and cost data.
11. CONSENTS; PREFERENTIAL RIGHTS. In the event any of the interests to be conveyed or transferred to Berry as part of the Property (i) are burdened with a preferential right in a third person to purchase such interest or (ii) require the consent of a third party to assign Aera's interest, then the conveyance or transfer of the interest subject to such preference or consent shall be conditioned upon Aera's obtaining the necessary waiver or consent and this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof without such consent or waiver. Provided, however, if such requirement for Third-Party consent is subject to an express or implied provision to the effect that such consent may not be unreasonably withheld and Aera, in its sole discretion, determines that such consent is being unreasonably withheld, Aera may, at its risk, assign such interest to Berry. Except for any liability of Aera to a Third Party with respect to an assignment pursuant to the preceding sentence, Aera shall not be liable to Berry by reason of any inability or failure to obtain any such waiver of preferential rights or consent to assignment. In the event a Third Party elects to exercise its preferential right to purchase, then Berry shall at the request of Aera nominate a value to each interest burdened by the preferential right to purchase, and if such value is agreeable to Aera, it shall become the price to such Third Party. If Aera is unable to obtain a required waiver or consent, or determines that such consent has been unreasonably withheld but elects not to assign the interest, such failure to obtain the waiver or consent, or to assign the interest where consent is unreasonably withheld, shall be considered a significant title defect subject to the provisions of subsection 12(b) hereof unless waived in writing by Berry; provided, however, that the prior termination or lapse of or a requirement that any license, permit, right-of-way, pipeline franchise or easement affecting any interests in or other portions of the Property is non- transferable, must be renegotiated or is subject to consent upon a transfer of ownership shall not constitute a significant title defect under this Agreement.
12. TITLE.
(a) Title Examination. Berry assumes the risk of description and title to the Property and agrees to satisfy itself with respect thereto. Aera has made available to Berry for examination by Berry such title information and abstract coverage as may have been available in Aera's land and contract files located in Bakersfield, California. During the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending no later than one (1) day before the Closing Date (the "Title Examination Period"), Berry shall have the continued right to examine, at Aera's offices in Bakersfield, California, during normal working hours, all division order and land files and records which relate to the Property. In addition, Aera shall make available to Berry for examination such title information with respect to the Property which is in Aera's files or Western Midway Company's ("Western") former files related to the Property which are now Aera's.
(b) Significant Title Defect.
(1) As used in this Agreement, the term "significant title defect" shall include (i) any defect which results in a loss of title in Aera such that Aera's net revenue interest in the Property is substantially reduced or Aera's right to use such interest as an owner, lessee, licensee or permittee is extinguished or severely restricted, or (ii) the inability of Aera to obtain the waiver of a preferential right or consent to assignment of an interest included in the Property or the election of Aera not to assign such interest when Aera believes consent is being unreasonably withheld as specified in section 11 above. Berry shall give Aera written notice of such significant title defect at least (one) (1) day before the Closing Date, together with full particulars relating thereto. Berry shall be deemed to have waived all significant title defects and any other defect of which Aera has not been given written notice at least one (1) day before the Closing Date.
(2) Interests which have significant title defects shall be excluded
from the Property and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount agreed
upon by Aera and Berry to account for such interest unless: (i) prior to
Closing, the basis for the significant title defect has been removed
(provided, however, Aera shall have no obligation to obtain such removal),
(ii) Berry agrees to accept the interest "as is," (iii) Berry agrees to
acquire the Property, including the interest, with an appropriate and
mutually agreed upon reduction in the Purchase Price, or (iv) Aera agrees to
indemnify Berry against all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities with
respect to such significant title defect. If no agreed upon reduction in
Purchase Price has been reached and no agreement can otherwise be reached as
to the disposition of an interest burdened by a significant title defect,
either Party may give written notice to the other Party to terminate this
Agreement and upon the giving of such notice, neither Party shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder, except for Berry's obligations and
Aera's rights under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Indemnification
Agreement.

Berry acknowledges that it is in Mobil's sole discretion to grant any such rights to Berry. It is expressly agreed that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is in no way conditioned upon Berry receiving such environmental indemnity rights from Mobil, and that this provision in no way affects Berry's indemnity obligations to Aera under this Article 20 of this Agreement

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
This confidentiality agreement (the 'Agreement') is entered into as of the 13th day of November, 1998, by Aera Energy LLC ("Aera'), and Berry Petroleum Company ('Recipient'), (collectively 'the Parties.," or individually 'a Party'). in consideration of the opportunity to review certain information regarding Aera's interests in the Placerita and Yowlumne Fields and to discuss mutually beneficial options regarding the possible acquisition by Recipient of Aera's right, title and interests in the Placerita and Yowlumne Fields, ('the Property'), the Parties agree as follows:
1 . Definitions. "Confidential Information" includes any and all oral and written communication, information, documents, data and material in tangible, intangible or electronic form (including technical, operating, business, environmental, and financial information, together with any notes, memoranda, analyses, evaluations, charts, graphs, or summaries derived therefrom) that Aera has provided Recipient or hereafter may provide, directly or indirectly, to Recipient in connection with the Property. The following is not Confidential Information:
a. Information known to or developed by Recipient or its Affiliates. (as defined below), without obligation of confidentiality or restrictions on its use, prior to its disclosure;
b. Information disclosed to Recipient, without obligation of confidentiality or restrictions on its use, by a third party who has the right to make such disclosure; and
c. Information in the public domain or that hereafter enters the public domain through no act or omission of Recipient or its Affiliates or Representatives (as defined below).
"Affiliates" means a Party's 'Parent Company' and "Affiliated Companies." "Parent Company" means an entity having a 'Controlling Interest' in a Party.
"Affiliated Companies" means any and all entities in which a Party or its Parent Company has a direct or indirect "Controlling Interest." "Controlling Interest" means a legal or beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting rights in an entity.
2. Nondisclosure. Recipient or its Affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, legal counsel and
financial advisors (collectively 'Representatives'), who obtain any
Confidential Information from Aera or its Affiliates or their Representatives
shall not disclose to any person or entity:
a. any portion of the Confidential Information except as authorized in
this Agreement;
b. that the Parties are jointly (i) reviewing information, data or material related to the Property, or (ii) considering a possible sale and acquisition covering a portion of the Property; or
c. any correlation between Confidential Information and public information except to Affiliates or Representatives as permitted under Paragraph 3 below.
3. Permitted Disclosure. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information only to Affiliates or Representatives who: (i) have a clearly defined need to know for the sole purposes of evaluating a possible acquisition of all or a portion of the Property by the Recipient (such purpose being referred to as 'the Purpose'); (ii) have been informed in writing of the confidential nature of the disclosure; and (iii) prior to such disclosure, have agreed in writing to be bound by this Agreement.
4. Restriction on Use. Recipient and their Affiliates and Representatives shall not:
a. Use or allow the use of all or any portion of the Confidential Information for their benefit or for the benefit of any third party, except solely in connection with the Purpose, or
b. Reproduce or remove from their offices any portion of the Confidential Information unless specifically authorized by Aera.
5. Return of Confidential Information. If the Parties do not proceed jointly with the Purpose, Recipient shall promptly return to Aera all Confidential Information and any copies thereof and shall certify to Aera in writing that such return has been completed. Returning the Confidential Information shall not terminate the obligations and liabilities of Recipient and its Affiliates or Representatives under this Agreement. Such obligations and liabilities shall remain in full force and effect for two (2) years after the date of this Agreement.
6. No Representations. Recipient acknowledges that Aera makes no representation whatsoever as to the accuracy, and/or completeness of all or any part of any information, data or material, including Confidential Information, provided to Recipient from any source in connection with the Purpose, and that Aera disclaims any liability.
7. Other Agreements. The sole purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate the Purpose while governing the disclosure and use of the Confidential Information. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the disclosure or use of Confidential information hereunder shall obligate either Party to enter into any other agreement related to the Property nor preclude any Party from entering into an agreement with any other person as to the Property. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the terms of this Agreement shall be independent of and shall survive any other agreements that may be executed by or between the Parties for any purpose.
8. Enforcement/Remedies. Recipient shall enforce this Agreement with regard to its Affiliates and Representatives, and shall take all actions required to prevent any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information. Recipient acknowledges the significant competitive value of the Confidential Information and the substantial damage Aera or its Affiliates would incur as a result of any unauthorized disclosure or use. Because monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy for breach of this Agreement, Aera and its Affiliates, at their election, shall also be entitled to equitable remedies for such breach. If Aera or its Affiliates initiate legal action to enforce this Agreement, and prevail in such
action, then in addition to any other remedies available or damages, awarded, Aera and its Affiliates shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Recipient and its Affiliates of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such action. In any such legal action, a Party shall be liable only for actual damages and neither Party shall seek, and no court or arbitrator shall award punitive, consequential or incidental damages in any form or amount.
9. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Because the Confidential Information may contain materials related to the business or assets of the Affiliates of Aera, such Affiliates shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, with all the rights and remedies of Aera, which an Affiliate may exercise or enforce alone or in conjunction with Aera, or which Aera may exercise or enforce on behalf of its Affiliates. Aera may enter, or may have entered, into confidentiality agreements substantially similar to this Agreement with other persons or entities who may desire to participate in an acquisition of all or a portion of the Property. Accordingly, the Recipient agrees that this Agreement is made for the benefit of Aera and may be enforced by any other person or entity to which a Party has assigned its rights hereunder in connection with such person's or entity's participation in a possible acquisition of all or a portion of the Property.
10. Compelled Disclosures. If Recipient or its Affiliates or their Representatives are requested (by oral questions, written interrogatories, requests for production, subpoena, investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient shall provide Aera prompt written notice of such request so the Aera may seek a protective order and/or waive compliance with the obligations of this Agreement. In the absence of a protective order or Waiver hereunder, if Recipient or its Affiliates or their Representatives are, in the opinion of their legal counsel, compelled by law (under penalty of contempt or other censure) to disclose Confidential Information, Recipient or its Affiliates or their Representatives may then, and only then, disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information necessary to comply with the requirements of the law;
provided, the Recipient and its Representatives shall take all practicable measures to assure, to the extent possible, that confidential treatment is given to any Confidential Information disclosed.
11. No Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party or its Affiliates in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor preclude exercise of any other or further right, power, or privilege hereunder.
12. Notices. Any notice to a Party hereunder shall be sent to the following addresses:

Under certain circumstances, the amount of such substances used or injected beneath the surface of the property has exceeded and will exceed reportable quantities and, depending on the circumstances involved, some or all of such substances remain beneath the surface of the property.
Reportable Releases

No CERCLA Reportable Releases on the properties.
Non-Routine Releases

1. Caustic soda or soda ash solutions released in the immediate vicinity of existing and previously installed and removed or idle SO2 scrubbers and caustic storage tanks associated with the operation of steam generators.
2. Lubricating oil spills associated with compressor site and pump station locations.
3. Hydrocarbon releases resulting in soils saturated with crude oil and non- volatile hydrocarbons from various storage tanks, LACT stations, heater treaters and other major facility sites.
For the purposes of this notice, the terms "hazardous substance" and "release" shall be defined as provided in California Health and Safety Code Sections 25316, 25317, 25320 and 25321, and the term "reportable quantities" shall be defined as provided in applicable federal and state laws and regulations for any hazardous substances involved.

NEWHALL PHASE I
APPENDIX B.1
ENERGY PURCHASE PROVISION
1. Seller shall receive a monthly payment for Energy purchased by Edison based on Edison's full avoided operating costs approved by the Commission throughout the Contract Term and updated periodically with Commission approval. Data used to derive Edison's full avoided costs will be made available to the Seller to the extent specified by Seller upon request.
Seller's monthly Energy payment shall be the sum of payments for Energy purchased during the on-peak, mid-peak and off-peak periods as those periods are defined in Edison Tariff Schedule No. TOU-8.
Payment shall be calculated as follows:
MONTHLY ENERGY PAYMENT = On-Peak Period Energy Payment ? Mid-Peak Period Energy Payment + Off-Peak Period Energy Payment
Where:
PERIOD ENERGY PAYMENT = (Avoided Operating Cost per kwh by Period)
x (Period kwh Delivered by Seller and
Purchased by Edison)
x (Energy Loss Adjustment Factor).
2. Edison shall not be obligated to accept or pay for and may request Seller whose Generating Facility is 1 MW or greater to discontinue or reduce delivery of Energy during periods when purchases under this Agreement would result in costs greater than those which Edison would incur if it did not purchase Energy from Seller but instead generated from another source an equivalent amount of energy. When possible, Edison shall make a reasonable effort to sell excess energy before requesting Seller to discontinue or reduce Energy delivery. Also when possible, Edison shall give Seller reasonable notice of the possibility that Seller may be requested to discontinue or reduce Energy delivery pursuant to this Section.
3. When the Edison Electric System demand would require that hydro-energy be spilled to reduce generation, Seller will be paid a hydro savings payment for Energy delivered. When Edison anticipates such periods, Edison shall notify Seller that a hydro savings payment period is possible. The payment will be calculated when a hydro spill condition occurs, and shall be determined as follows:
HYDRO SAVINGS PAYMENTS =
(Projected kwh from Qualifying) _ (Required Hydro kwh Spill to)
(Facilities per Period ) (Reduce Generation per Period)
(Projected kwh from Qualifying Facilities per Period)
x (Period Energy Payment).
Note: If the result of the Hydro Savings Payment calculation is less than or equal to zero, no Hydro Savings Payment shall be made to Seller.

(Contract Capacity) x (Period Hrs. - Allowable Maintenance Hrs.)
6.3.4 The monthly capacity payment when a bonus is earned shall be the sum of
the monthly capacity payment (Section 6.2) and the monthly bonus payment
Section 6.3.3).
7. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ALLOWANCES
The allowance for scheduled maintenance is as follows:
7.1 Outage periods for scheduled maintenance shall not exceed 840 hours (35 days) in any 12-month period. This allowance may be used in increments of an hour or longer on a consecutive or nonconsecutive basis.
Page B.2-7
7.2 Seller may accumulate unused maintenance hours on a year- to-year basis up to a maximum of 1,080 hours (45 days). This accrued time must be used consecutively and only for major overhauls.
8. FAILURE TO MEET MINIMUM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
8.1 Except when caused by Uncontrollable Forces, if Seller fails to meet the minimum performance requirements as set forth in Sections 5.1 and 6.1. The following shall apply:
8.1.1 Seller may be placed on probation for a period not to exceed 15 months or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties. During this period, the monthly capacity payment will be based on the level of capacity actually delivered.
8.1.2 If Seller meets or demonstrates to Edison pursuant to
Section 11, Part I that it can meet its minimum requirement
during the probationary period, Edison shall reinstate regular
capacity payments.
8.1.3 If Seller fails to meet its minimum requirements during the probationary period, Edison may derate the Contract Capacity to the greater of the capacity actually delivered when the minimum requirements were not met, or the capacity at which Seller is reasonably likely to meet the minimum requirements.
Page B.2-8
In either case, the quantity by which the Contract Capacity is reduced shall be considered terminated without prescribed notice as provided in Section 5.5, Part I.
8.2 If Seller is prevented from meeting the minimum performance requirement because of a Forced Outage on the Edison system or a request to cease or curtail delivery under Section 2, Appendix B.1, Edison shall continue capacity payments. Under Option 2, capacity payments will be calculated in the same manner used for scheduled maintenance outages.
8.3 If deliveries are interrupted or reduced because of Uncontrollable Forces, Edison shall continue capacity payments for 90 days form the occurrence of the Uncontrolled Force event. If Seller has chosen Option 2 as a method for capacity payments, payments due during a period of interruption or reduction by reason of an Uncontrolled Force, shall be calculated in the same manner used for scheduled maintenance outages.
8.4 Adjustment for Hydroelectric Facility Hydroelectric facilities which have their Contract Capacity based on the five dry-year average, shall not have their Contract Capacity terminated or derated when their failure to meet minimum performance requirements is due solely to the occurrence of a dry year which is
Page B.2-9
drier than the five dry-year average. During drier-year conditions, the Seller shall be paid for the amount of capacity, if any, actually delivered. Capacity payments shall resume at the Contract Capacity Price when hydro conditions once again reach the level used to determine the capacity ratings.
9. EXAMPLES OF TERMINATION CALCULATIONS
9.1 Example 1
Termination with Prescribed Notice
Assumptions:
1) Power delivery starts in January 1985 on a 20-year Contract Term for a Contract Capacity of 50 MW. Contract Capacity Price is $132/kW-yr.
2) In January 1987, Seller notifies Edison that the Contract Capacity will be reduced to 20 MW in January 1990. The Adjusted Capacity Price for the capacity being terminated (30 MW) is $93/kW-yr.
3) Federal Reserve Board three months prime commercial paper rate is 1% per month.
4) Seller is under Option 1 for capacity payment.
5) Prescribed notice required is 36 months.
Resulting Action:
Capacity Payment Adjustment (Section 5.4.3, Part I)
For a period from January 1987 to January 1990, the capacity price for the 50 MW will be $109/kW-yr, the
Page B.2-10
weighted average of $132 and $93 calculated as follows:
(20/50) x $132 + (30/50) x $93 = $109/kW-yr
Starting January 1990 the Contract Capacity Price will return to $132/kW-yr but for only 20 MW.
Capacity Overpayment Refund (Section 5.4.2,Part I)
The Seller must also repay to Edison the overpayments made in 1985 and 1986 on the 30 MW portion of the contract which is being terminated, at the rate of $39/kW-yr ($132 - $93).
Since under Option 1, (1/12) of the capacity is paid each month, the overpayment consists of 24 monthly payments made between January 1985 and December 1986, each amounting to:
$39/kW-yr x (1/12) x 30,000 kW = $97,500/month
This annuity of 24 payments has a present value in January 1985
of
$97,500 x 1 = $97,500 x 1
Capital Recovery Factor 0.01
1
1 - (1.01) 24
= $2,071,230
|
The value of this annuity (including interest) in January 1987, the amount
payable to Edison becomes $2,071,230 x Compound Amount Factor = $2,071,230
x (1.01)24= $2,629,913
Page B.2-11
9.2 Example 2
Termination Without Prescribed Notice
Assumptions:
(1) Power delivery starts in January 1985 on a 20-year Contract Term for a Contract Capacity of 50 MW. Contract Capacity Price is $132/kW-yr.
(2) In January 1987, Seller notified Edison that the Contract Capacity will be reduced to 20 MW in January 1988. The Adjusted Capacity Price for the capacity being terminated (30 MW) is $88/kW-yr.
(3) Federal Reserve Bond three months prime commercial paper rate is 1% per month.
(4) Seller is under Option 1 for capacity payment.
(5) The capacity price for a Contract Term of seventeen (17) years with a delivery date of 1988 will come from the capacity table in effect at the time of the termination notice. Assume this value is $158/kW-yr.
(6) Prescribed notice required is 36 months.
Resulting Action:
Capacity Payment Adjustment (Section 5.4.3, Part I)
For period from January 1987 to January 1988, the capacity price for the 50 MW will be $106/kW-yr, the weighted average of $132 and $88 calculated as follows:
Page B.2-12
(20/50) x $132 + (30/50) x $88 = $106/kW-yr
Starting January 1988, the capacity price will return to $132/kW-yr, but for only 20 MW.
Capacity Overpayment Refund (Section 5.4.3, Part I)

NEWHALL PHASE II
APPENDIX B.1
ENERGY PURCHASE PROVISION
1. Seller shall receive a monthly payment for Energy purchased by Edison based on Edison's full avoided operating costs approved by the Commission throughout the Contract Term and updated periodically with Commission approval. Data used to derive Edison's full avoided costs will be made available to the Seller to the extent specified by Seller upon request.
Seller's monthly Energy payment shall be the sum of payments for Energy purchased during the on-peak, mid-peak and off-peak periods as those periods are defined in Edison Tariff Schedule No. TOU-8.
Payment shall be calculated as follows:
MONTHLY ENERGY PAYMENT = On-Peak Period Energy Payment
+ Mid-Peak Period Energy Payment
+ Off-Peak Period Energy Payment
Where:
PERIOD ENERGY PAYMENT = (Avoided Operating Cost per kwh by Period)
x (Period kwh Delivered by Seller and
Purchased by Edison)
x (Energy Loss Adjustment Factor).
2. Edison shall not be obligated to accept or pay for and may request Seller whose Generating Facility is 1 MW or greater to discontinue or reduce delivery of Energy during periods when purchases under this Agreement would result in costs greater than those which Edison would incur if it did not purchase Energy from Seller but instead generated from another source an equivalent amount of energy. When possible, Edison shall make a reasonable effort to sell excess energy before requesting Seller to discontinue or reduce Energy delivery. Also when possible, Edison shall give Seller reasonable notice of the possibility that Seller may be requested to discontinue or reduce Energy delivery pursuant to this Section.
3. When the Edison Electric System demand would require that hydro-energy be spilled to reduce generation, Seller will be paid a hydro savings payment for Energy delivered. When Edison anticipates such periods, Edison shall notify Seller that a hydro savings payment period is possible. The payment will be calculated when a hydro spill condition occurs, and shall be determined as follows:
HYDRO SAVINGS PAYMENTS =
(Projected kwh from Qualifying) _ (Required Hydro kwh Spill to)
(Facilities per Period ) (Reduce Generation per Period)/
(Projected kwh from Qualifying Facilities per Period)
x (Period Energy Payment).
Note: If the result of the Hydro Savings Payment calculation is less than or equal to zero, no Hydro Savings Payment shall be made to Seller.

X (1/12)
X Contract Capacity
Where:
ON-PEAK CAPACITY FACTOR =
On-Peak kwh Purchased by Edison/
(Contract Capacity) x (Period Hrs. - Allowable Maintenance Hrs.)
6.3.4 The monthly capacity payment when a bonus is earned shall be the sum of
the monthly capacity payment (Section 6.2) and the monthly bonus payment
Section 6.3.3).
7. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ALLOWANCES
The allowance for scheduled maintenance is as follows:
7.1 Outage periods for scheduled maintenance shall not exceed 840 hours (35 days) in any 12-month period. This allowance may be used in increments of an hour or longer on a consecutive or nonconsecutive basis.
Page B.2-7
7.2 Seller may accumulate unused maintenance hours on a year- to-year basis up to a maximum of 1,080 hours (45 days). This accrued time must be used consecutively and only for major overhauls.
8. FAILURE TO MEET MINIMUM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
8.1 Except when caused by Uncontrollable Forces, if Seller fails to meet the minimum performance requirements as set forth in Sections 5.1 and 6.1. The following shall apply:
8.1.1 Seller may be placed on probation for a period not to exceed 15 months or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties. During this period, the monthly capacity payment will be based on the level of capacity actually delivered.
8.1.2 If Seller meets or demonstrates to Edison pursuant to
Section 11, Part I that it can meet its minimum requirement
during the probationary period, Edison shall reinstate regular
capacity payments.
8.1.3 If Seller fails to meet its minimum requirements during the probationary period, Edison may derate the Contract Capacity to the greater of the capacity actually delivered when the minimum requirements were not met, or the capacity at which Seller is reasonably likely to meet the minimum requirements.
Page B.2-8
In either case, the quantity by which the Contract Capacity is reduced shall be considered terminated without prescribed notice as provided in Section 5.5, Part I.
8.2 If Seller is prevented from meeting the minimum performance requirement because of a Forced Outage on the Edison system or a request to cease or curtail delivery under Section 2, Appendix B.1, Edison shall continue capacity payments. Under Option 2, capacity payments will be calculated in the same manner used for scheduled maintenance outages.
8.3 If deliveries are interrupted or reduced because of Uncontrollable Forces, Edison shall continue capacity payments for 90 days form the occurrence of the Uncontrolled Force event. If Seller has chosen Option 2 as a method for capacity payments, payments due during a period of interruption or reduction by reason of an Uncontrolled Force, shall be calculated in the same manner used for scheduled maintenance outages.
8.4 Adjustment for Hydroelectric Facility Hydroelectric facilities which have their Contract Capacity based on the five dry-year average, shall not have their Contract Capacity terminated or derated when their failure to meet minimum performance requirements is due solely to the occurrence of a dry year which is
Page B.2-9
drier than the five dry-year average. During drier-year conditions, the Seller shall be paid for the amount of capacity, if any, actually delivered. Capacity payments shall resume at the Contract Capacity Price when hydro conditions once again reach the level used to determine the capacity ratings.
9. EXAMPLES OF TERMINATION CALCULATIONS
9.1 Example 1
Termination with Prescribed Notice
Assumptions:
1) Power delivery starts in January 1985 on a 20-year Contract Term for a Contract Capacity of 50 MW. Contract Capacity Price is $132/kW-yr.
2) In January 1987, Seller notifies Edison that the Contract Capacity will be reduced to 20 MW in January 1990. The Adjusted Capacity Price for the capacity being terminated (30 MW) is $93/kW-yr.
3) Federal Reserve Board three months prime commercial paper rate is 1% per month.
4) Seller is under Option 1 for capacity payment.
5) Prescribed notice required is 36 months.
Resulting Action:
Capacity Payment Adjustment (Section 5.4.3, Part I)
For a period from January 1987 to January 1990, the capacity price for the 50 MW will be $109/kW-yr, the
Page B.2-10
weighted average of $132 and $93 calculated as follows:
(20/50) x $132 + (30/50) x $93 = $109/kW-yr
Starting January 1990 the Contract Capacity Price will return to $132/kW-yr but for only 20 MW.
Capacity Overpayment Refund (Section 5.4.2,Part I)
The Seller must also repay to Edison the overpayments made in 1985 and 1986 on the 30 MW portion of the contract which is being terminated, at the rate of $39/kW-yr ($132 - $93).
Since under Option 1, (1/12) of the capacity is paid each month, the overpayment consists of 24 monthly payments made between January 1985 and December 1986, each amounting to:
$39/kW-yr x (1/12) x 30,000 kW = $97,500/month
This annuity of 24 payments has a present value in January 1985
of
$97,500 x 1 = $97,500 x 1
Capital Recovery Factor 0.01
1
1 - (1.01) 24
= $2,071,230
|
The value of this annuity (including interest) in January 1987, the amount
payable to Edison becomes $2,071,230 x Compound Amount Factor
= $2,071,230 x (1.01)24
= $2,629,913
Page B.2-11
9.2 Example 2
Termination Without Prescribed Notice
Assumptions:
(1) Power delivery starts in January 1985 on a 20-year Contract Term for a Contract Capacity of 50 MW. Contract Capacity Price is $132/kW-yr.
(2) In January 1987, Seller notified Edison that the Contract Capacity will be reduced to 20 MW in January 1988. The Adjusted Capacity Price for the capacity being terminated (30 MW) is $88/kW-yr.
(3) Federal Reserve Bond three months prime commercial paper rate is 1% per month.
(4) Seller is under Option 1 for capacity payment.
(5) The capacity price for a Contract Term of seventeen (17) years with a delivery date of 1988 will come from the capacity table in effect at the time of the termination notice. Assume this value is $158/kW-yr.
(6) Prescribed notice required is 36 months.
Resulting Action:
Capacity Payment Adjustment (Section 5.4.3, Part I)
For period from January 1987 to January 1988, the capacity price for the 50 MW will be $106/kW-yr, the weighted average of $132 and $88 calculated as follows:
Page B.2-12
(20/50) x $132 + (30/50) x $88 = $106/kW-yr
Starting January 1988, the capacity price will return to $132/kW-yr, but for only 20 MW.
Capacity Overpayment Refund (Section 5.4.3, Part I)
The amount of capacity overpayment refund to be made to Edison by Seller is $2,967,082. (For calculation of this payment amount see Capacity Overpayment Refund section of the termination with prescribed notice example, Section 9.1).
Capacity Replacement Cost (Section 5.5.2, Part I)
The Seller must also pay Edison a one time capacity replacement cost of $1,560,000 calculated as follows:
(30,000 kW) ($158 - $132) (2 years) = $1,560,000
Total Repayment to Edison
The total repayment from Seller to Edison will be $4,527,082, which is the sum of the capacity overpayment refund and the capacity replacement cost.

9. Power Factor Adjustment:
a. Service Delivered and Metered at 4 kv or greater:
The charges will be adjusted each month for reactive demand.
The charges will be increased by 20 cents per kilovar of maximum
reactive demand imposed on the Company in excess of 20% of the
maximum number of kilowatts.
the maximum reactive demand shall be the highest measured maximum average kilovar demand indicated or recorded by metering to be supplied by the Company during any 15-minute metered interval in the month. The kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A device will be installed on each kilovar meter to prevent reverse operation of the meter.
b. Service delivered and metered at less than 4 kv:
The charges will be adjusted each month for the power factor as
follows: The charges will be decreased by 20 cents per kilowatt
of measured maximum demand and will be increased by 20 cents per
kilovar of reactive demand. However, in no case shall the
kilovars used for the adjustment be less than one-fifth the
number of kilowatts.
The kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the kilowatts of measured maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatt hours. Demands in kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A ratchet device will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on leading power factors.
10. Temporary Discontinuance of Service: Where the use of energy is seasonal or intermittent, no adjustments will be made for a temporary discontinuance of service. Any customer prior to resuming service within twelve months after such service was discontinued will be required to pay all charges which would have been billed if service had not been discontinued.
