NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Zond and Series A Partnership agree as follows: 1. Certain Definitions. -------------------- As used in this Series A PTF Agreement, the following terms shall have the designated meaning; 1.1 "Effective Date" means the Effective Date as defined -------------- in Section 5.1. 1.2 "Power Purchase Contract" means collectively those ----------------------- three (3) Power Purchase Contracts each dated June 22, 1984, between Zond and Southern California Edison Company, a California public utility, and designated Monolith I, Monolith II and Monolith III, respectively. 1.3 "Power Transfer Facilities" means collectively, the ------------------------- 66KV power transfer line, an SCE interconnect facility and other related wires, lines, cables and devices with associated poles, anchors, fixtures, conduits, service boxes and other appurtenances to be constructed by Zond, at its sole expense, upon the Servient Tenement and the Operating Site for the use by Series A Partnership and Series B Partnership in accordance with this series A PTF Agreement and the Series B PTF Agreement. 1.4 "Series A Construction Agreement" means that certain ------------------------------- Windsystem Construction Agreement between ZCC III and Series A Partnership. 1.5 "ZCC III Purchase Notes" means any promissory note or ---------------------- notes given by Series A Partnership to ZCC III in connection with the purchase of wind turbine generators by Series A Partnership from ZCC III pursuant to the Series A Construction Agreement. 2 2. Installation and Ownership of Power Transfer Facilities. -------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Installation. ------------- Zond and Series A Partnership acknowledge that the Power Transfer Facilities have already been, or are in the process of being, installed by Zond, at its sole expense, on the Servient Tenement (in accordance with the Series A Grant of Interconnect Easement and the Series B Grant of Interconnect Easement) and the Operating Site (in accordance with the Zond Power Transfer Facilities Easement). If the installation of the Power Transfer Facilities has not been completed as of the date of this Series A PTF Agreement, Zond, at its sole expense, agrees to complete installation as soon as reasonably possible. 2.2 Ownership. ---------- Series A Partnership acknowledges and agrees that Zond owns the Power Transfer Facilities. 3. Shared Use of Power Transfer Facilities. --------------------------------------- Upon the Effective Date, Series A Partnership, at no expense to it other than as provided in Section 6.2, shall have the right to, and be entitled to, use on a shared non-exclusive basis the Power Transfer Facilities until the termination of this Series A PTF Agreement.

Additional Users and Use of Excess Capacity. -------------------------------------------- Series A Partnership acknowledges and understands that Zond reserves the right at any time and from time to time to allow persons or entities other than Series A Partnership and Series B Partnership to use on a shared non-exclusive basis the capacity of the Power Transfer Facilities which is in excess of that required by Series A Partnership and Series B Partnership. In exercising its rights under this Section, Zond agrees that: (i) It will not, and will not permit such others to, interfere with Series A Partnership's use and enjoyment of the Power Transfer Facilities and its rights under this Series A PTF Agreement. (ii) It will not allow any use by others of the Power Transfer Facilities which would result in an overloading of the capacity of the Power Transfer Facilities such that the use thereof by Series A Partnership and Series B Partnership would be adversely affected.

Zond shall compute such prorata share quarterly and submit each such computation in writing to Series A Partnership so that Series A Partnership may pay timely such prorata share. 7. Destruction or Damage. ---------------------- In the event of any destruction of, or damage to, the Power Transfer Facilities or any portion thereof, Zond at its sole expense shall as soon as possible rebuild, restore and/or repair the destroyed or damaged Power Transfer Facilities or portion thereof destroyed or damaged. 8.

Liens. ------ Zond agrees to keep the Power Transfer Facilities at all times free and clear of any liens arising by, through or under it or any of its affiliates or assigns (excluding Series A Partnership and Series B Partnership) which would materially adversely affect the right or ability of Series A Partnership to use the Power Transfer Facilities and/or to exercise its rights under this Series A PTF Agreement.

In the event that Series A Partnership makes any such payments, Zond immediately shall repay the amount thereof, together with interest thereon 6 at the then prime rate of a New York clearing house bank designated by Series A Partnership plus 4%, but not in excess of the maximum rate allowed under California law, from the date of payment by Series A Partnership to the date of repayment by Zond. In the event that Zond does not comply with, or only partially complies with, its repayment obligations in the preceding sentence, Series A Partnership shall be entitled to offset those amounts which Zond is to repay Series A Partnership against amounts owing Zond by Series A Partnership under this Series A PTF Agreement. 13. Indemnification. ---------------- Zond agrees to indemnify and hold Series A Partnership free and harmless from any losses, liabilities, claims, judgments, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) caused by any breach by Zond, its affiliates or assigns (excluding Series A Partnership and Series B Partnership) or its agents or employees of a duty, if any, imposed on it or any of them by law or under this Series A PTF Agreement or for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from or attributable to the fault or neglect of Zond, its affiliates or assigns (excluding Series A Partnership and Series B Partnership) or its agents or employees.
