               The energy payment refund, if required, will be based on present
values calculated to the date of the refund or January 1, 1996, whichever occurs
earlier.

          15.1.5 Seller shall reimburse Edison for any energy and capacity
payments made after September 12, 1986, that are in excess of the monthly energy
and capacity payments to be paid to Seller under this Section 15 by means of a
reduction in each monthly energy and capacity payment, commencing upon the
effective date of this Agreement, up to the full amount of each monthly Payment,
until all such excess payments are recovered by Edison.

     15.2 MWh Credit Accumulation

          15.2.1 If payments Pursuant to Section 15.1.2.1 exceed Edison's
avoided cost for energy and capacity, such excess shall be treated as payment
incentives to be repaid by Seller to Edison. The accumulation of the Monthly MWh
Credit shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                                              12.5 (cent)/kWh - 8.94(cent)/kWh
 Monthly MWh Credit = Net energy Delivered  x --------------------------------
                                                     8.94(cent)/kWh




                                       23


Wherein 12.5 cents equals (cent)/kWh paid for total kWh delivered from February
26, 1985, to September 12, 1986, and 8.94(cent)/kWh equals 7(cent)/kWh for
energy plus 1.94c/kWh for capacity. If the Monthly MWh Credit is negative, it
shall not be included in the calculation of the accumulation of Monthly MWh
Credit.

          15.2.2 As of September 12, 1986, the accrued MWh credit shall be fixed
and recalculated from the Date of Firm Operation through September 12, 1986,
which shall be deemed to be to 34,642 MWh.

     15.3 Security for Energy and Capacity Payments

          15.3.1 Coincident with the effective date of this Amended and Restated
Power Purchase and Sales Agreement, Seller shall provide and maintain security

but shall in no event be paid by further deliveries of power to Edison. The
value of one (1) MWh of accrued MWh credit shall be deemed to be $37.53.

     15.5 Monthly Capacity Payment

     The monthly capacity payment shall be calculated as follows:

     Monthly Capacity Payment = 1.94(cent)/kWh

                                x  (Effective Net Capacity, kW)

                                x  (Total hours in month, Hour)

                                x  (Monthly Capacity Factor)

                                x  (Hurdle Factor)

                                x  (Availability Factor)

          15.5.1 Hurdle Factor

              The Hurdle Factor shall be either 1.0 if the Monthly Capacity
Factor is equal to or greater than 51% or 0.5 if the Monthly Capacity Factor is
less than 51%.

          15.5.2 Availability Factor The Availability Factor shall equal 1.0
unless Seller fails to provide Net Capacity pursuant to Section 15.5.2.1 in
which case the Availability Factor shall be 0.5.

               15.5.2.1 At Edison's request., Seller shall, within 30 minutes of
such request, make all reasonable effort to make available the Net Capacity
according to the Table set forth in Exhibit F, attached hereto and made part

scheduled an outage coincident with an


                                       27


Emergency, Seller shall make all, reasonable efforts to reschedule the outage.
Failure of Seller to provide Net Capacity during an Emergency when first
requested by Edison following the Date of Firm Operation shall not result in a
reduction of Monthly Capacity Payments. However, after said initial request by
Edison, whether or not Seller has complied with such request, any subsequent
failure by Seller to comply with a request for Net Capacity by Edison shall
result in the Availability Factor becoming 0.5 for the month in which the
request occurred. The Availability Factor shall continue to be 0.5 until Seller
can demonstrate that the Project can comply with a request for Net Capacity by
Edison.

16. TAXES:

     16.1 Ad valorem taxes and other taxes properly attributed to the Project

21. WAIVERS:

     21.1 Any waiver at any time by either Party of its rights with respect to a
default or any other matter arising in connection with this Agreement shall be

22. SECURITY:

     22.1 As security for any amounts payable by Seller to Edison pursuant to
Section 15, Seller hereby grants Edison, a continuing lien and security interest
in the Project and Geothermal Facilities subject and subordinate only to the
lien and security Interest of the lender providing construction of permanent

pursuant to Section 15, Seller hereby agrees that its leasehold interest
covering the Project and Seller's right to produce geothermal fluid shall be
subject to a lien in favor of Edison until the Total MWh Credit is repaid. Such
lien shall be evidenced by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, and Security
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and by this reference made a
part hereof.

23. UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES:

     23.1 Neither Party shall be considered to be in default in the performance
of any of its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to pay
money for energy and capacity previously delivered and received, when, and to
the extent, failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force. The
term "uncontrollable force" means any cause beyond the control of the party
failing to perform including, but not limited to, failure of facilities
maintained in accordance with good engineering and operating practices in
California, flood, earthquake, storm, lightning, fire, epidemic, war, riot,
civil disturbance or disobedience, labor dispute, labor or material shortage,
sabotage, restraint by court order or public authority, art action or nonaction
by, or inability to obtain the necessary authorizations or approvals from, any
governmental agency or authority, which by the exercise of due diligence such
Party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and which by exercise of
due diligence it has not overcome.


                                       34


Either Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this
Agreement by reason of an uncontrollable force shall give prompt written notice
of such facts to the other Party and shall exercise due diligence to remove such
inability. Nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to require a Party
to settle any strike or labor dispute in which it may be involved.

     24.1 Neither Party shall assign any interest in the Agreement, the Project
or in the Geothermal Facilities, other than to a subsidiary or affiliate or in

consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
shall be void.

     24.2 Seller may not sell, transfer, assign, convey or further encumber any
interest in the Agreement or in the Project or in the Geothermal Facilities or
leasehold interest or any interest in the Magma Lease unless it promptly repays
Edison the accrued MWh Credit balance (converted to kWh) converted to dollars by
multiplying said amount by the then current Avoided Cost for energy and capacity
(converted to (cent)/kWh) together with any other sums then due Edison.

     24.3 Any assignment by a Party of its interest in this Agreement shall not
relieve the assigned Party of primary liability for any of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement, and in the event of such assignment, the
assigning Party shall continue to remain primarily liable for payment of any and
all money due the other Party as provided


                                       35


under this Agreement, and for the performance and observance of all other
covenants, duties and obligations to be performed and observed under this

made.
