The Parties understand that the Regional Water Board or its delegate has the authority to require a public hearing on this Stipulated Order.

Creditworthiness Determination Duke Energy Ohio will determine the creditworthiness of an SSO Supplier or its Guarantor, if applicable, whether organized under the laws of the United States or organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, based on its most recent senior unsecured debt rating (or, if unavailable, its corporate or issuer rating). Duke Energy Ohio will have full discretion, without liability or recourse to such SSO Supplier or its Guarantor, if applicable, to evaluate the evidence of creditworthiness submitted by such SSO Supplier or Guarantor. Duke Energy Ohio may re-evaluate the creditworthiness of an SSO Supplier or Guarantor from time to time, including whenever it becomes aware of an adverse change in such SSO Supplier’s or Guarantor’s credit standing. In addition, the SSO Supplier may petition Duke Energy Ohio to re-evaluate its creditworthiness whenever an event occurs that the SSO Supplier reasonably believes would improve the determination made by Duke Energy Ohio of its or its Guarantor’s creditworthiness. Duke Energy Ohio’s credit re-evaluation must be completed as soon as practicable, but in no event longer than thirty (30) days after receiving a fully documented request. Duke Energy Ohio shall provide the rationale for its determination of the Credit Limit and any resulting security requirement and such determination shall be deemed final and conclusive. Duke Energy Ohio shall perform its credit re-evaluation and associated security calculation in a non-discriminatory manner. Each SSO Supplier or its Guarantor shall provide unrestricted access to its audited financial statements; however, if audited financial statements are not available, Duke Energy Ohio may specify other types of financial statements that will be accepted. If Duke Energy Ohio determines in its sole discretion that it is unable to adequately assess an SSO Supplier’s or Guarantor’s creditworthiness or the credit rating of an SSO Supplier or its Guarantor is insufficient, such SSO Supplier shall be required to post ICR Collateral in accordance with Section 5.4(d) and Margin Collateral in accordance with Section 5.7.
Technical Objections to Grievances It is the intent of both Parties of this Agreement that no grievance shall be defeated merely because of a technical error, other than time limitations in processing the grievance through the grievance procedure. To this end, an arbitration board shall have the power to allow all necessary amendments to the grievance and the power to waive formal procedural irregularities in the processing of a grievance, in order to determine the real matter in dispute and to render a decision according to equitable principles and the justice of the case.
