EXHIBIT A
(Base Resource Percentage and Point(s) of Delivery)
1. This Exhibit A, to be effective under and as part of Contract 00-SNR-00374
(Contract), shall become effective upon execution of the Contract; and shall remain in
effect until either superseded by another Exhibit A or termination of the Contract.
2. On the effective date of this Exhibit A, TDPUD's percentage of the Base
Resource is 0.220%.
3. TDPUD's Base Resource percentage may be adjusted by Western as specified
in the Contract.
4. TDPUD's Base Resource percentage will be adjusted effective January 1, 2015,
in accordance with the Marketing Plan, to establish the 2015 Resource Pool for new
power allocations.

Exhibit B
EXHIBIT B
(Exchange Program)
1. This Exhibit B, to be effective under and as a part of Contract 00-SNR-00374
(Contract), shall become effective upon execution of the Contract; and, shall remain in
effect until superseded by another Exhibit B or termination of the Contract.
2. The Parties acknowledge that the exchange program procedures will change
between the date the Contract is executed and the date of initial service hereunder.
The Parties agree to work together collaboratively to develop exchange program
arrangements which will maximize the benefits of the CVP.
3. Prior to the date of initial service, Western shall replace this Exhibit B with
Exhibit B, Revision 1. At such time as Western promulgates Revision 1 to this
Exhibit B, TDPUD shall have a one-time option of (1) executing Revision 1 to this
Exhibit B within the time specified in the transmittal letter, or (2) terminating the Contract
upon 30-days advance written notice. In the event TDPUD fails to take either action
within the specified time frame, Exhibit B, Revision 1, shall be deemed to become
effective.
4. Western shall make subsequent revisions to Exhibit B, after consultation with its
Customers.
5. Western will manage an exchange program to allow for Customers to fully and
efficiently use their Base Resource percentage energy. The program consists of the
following two elements:
5.1 Seasonal exchange: a mechanism that allows a Customer with seasonal
load variation to make that portion of its Base Resource percentage that it is
unable to use due to insufficient load, available to the seasonal exchange
program. In coordination with Western, TDPUD will be able to exchange its
unusable Base Resource percentage, through Western, with other Customers.
5.2 Hourly exchange: a mechanism that provides for Western to retain all
Base Resource energy in excess of a Customer's load on an hourly basis.
6. General Principles:
6.1 Customers must take their percentage of the Base Resource.
6.2 If a Customer's total load in any hour, as established in its day ahead
schedule, is less than its Hourly Base Resource Schedule, then the energy in
excess of the schedule is made available to the Western exchange program.

Contract 00-SNR-00374
Exhibit B
6.3 Western shall establish an estimated pool energy "rate" for the purpose of
pool transaction settlements.
6.4 Customers with total load greater than their Base Resource percentage in
any hour may request pool energy from Western, if available.
6.5 Exchange program suppliers shall have first priority for purchases from the
pool, during hours when they are not depositing energy, up to the amount of
energy previously deposited.
6.6 Western will allocate pool energy to Customers that have requested pool
energy.
6.7 Pool takers are obligated to pay at the pool energy "rate."
6.8 Pool providers are credited funds at the pool energy "rate."
6.9 Western takes all remaining pool energy not taken by Customers and
provides it into the open market(s).
6.10 Revenues collected by Western from the open market(s) will first be
credited to the pool providers up to the pool energy"rate."
6.11 Any remaining revenue will be used to offset Western's overall costs.

4. Scheduling Procedures:
4.1 Western will determine the Maximum Operating Capability, total
generation, and ramping rates for the Base Resource.
4.2 Not less than 24 hours prior to the active day, Western will notify TDPUD
of its share of the Base Resource Operating Capability, Minimum Base Resource
and total energy available for that day. Based on these criteria, TDPUD shall
notify Western of its preferred schedule for that day. Western will use a
compilation of all Customers' preferred schedules as a basis for determination of
the optimal generation schedule. Western will then notify TDPUD of its Hourly
Base Resource Schedule for that day.
4.3 For weekdays, TDPUD shall provide Western with a copy of its day ahead
load and resource schedule, including the information listed in Section 4.5 below,
by 9:00 a.m. of the business day prior to the day the schedule will be
implemented, or at least two (2) hours prior to the submission time required by
the ISO or control area operator, whichever is earlier. For weekends and
holidays, as defined by the WSCC, TDPUD shall provide Western with its day-
ahead schedule by 9:00 a.m. of the business day, at least two days prior to the
day the schedule will be implemented, or at least two (2) hours prior to the
submission time required by the ISO or control area operator, whichever is
earlier. The day-ahead schedule shall include megawatt values for each hourly
period of each day and a megawatt-hour total for each day. The day-ahead

ahead schedule of Western power not to exceed TDPUD's percentage of the
Base Resource Operating Capability for any hour, as it may be adjusted to
accommodate exchanges or purchases under the Western exchange program.
4.4 In the event of curtailments or emergencies, Western shall notify TDPUD
as soon as practicable so it may adjust its schedule in a timely manner.
4.5 The following information shall be included in the day ahead schedule:
4.5.1 Western power by hour;
4.5.2 Other power by hour [If Western is TDPUD's SC];
4.5.3 TDPUD's forecasted system load by hour [If Western is TDPUD's
SC].
4.6 TDPUD's unscheduled Western power in any hour is not available to
TDPUD as an operating reserve or to meet any ancillary service requirements of
the ISO or the control area operator for TDPUD load.
4.7 Schedules shall be transmitted by a communication link established
between Western and TDPUD or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties. The
communication link shall be provided and paid for by TDPUD. The data format
shall be acceptable to both Parties and shall be in conformance with established
WSCC protocol in effect at the time.
5. Schedule Changes:
5.1 TDPUD may not adjust its Western power schedule after the final hour
ahead schedules have been accepted by the ISO or control area operator as
applicable.
5.2 Daily schedules shall be confirmed by TDPUD and Western's dispatchers
at the end of the active day, at which time TDPUD and Western's dispatchers will
attempt to resolve any scheduling conflicts.
5.3 No after-the-fact schedule change by either Party shall be allowed.
