Transmission System. 7.1 The Transmission System shall be designed, constructed and operated with the objective of permitting each Participant to transmit under normal operating conditions its share of entitlement in the Navajo -11- <PAGE> Generating Station from the Navajo Generating Station to its designated points of delivery in a manner which will not, unreasonably affect the operation of the electric systems of the Participants, and, so that when operated in parallel with such systems, the loss of any one circuit will not cause any other circuit or element of and of the parallel transmission systems of a Participant to carry Power in excess of the short-time rating of such parallel transmission system as may be established by the owner of such system. 7.2 Each Participant shall have the right to use the Transmission System to transmit to its designated delivery points under normal operating conditions Power in an amount equivalent to its Capacity entitlement share in the Navajo Generating Station or to reserve the Transmission System for such transmission without regard to the origin, source, ownership or type of generation used to produce such Power. 7.3 Any Participant may acquire firm entitlement in the Transmission System, in addition to that provided for in Section 7.2 hereof upon the written agreement of all Participants having cost responsibility for the facilities over which such firm entitlement is sought, provided that said firm entitlement does not materially interfere with the right of any other Participant to transmit its entitlement as provided in Section 7.2 -12- <PAGE> hereof. Such written agreement shall specify the amount of monetary compensation to be paid to and the allocation among the Participants for such firm entitlement. 7.4 Any Participant may make non-firm use of transmission Capacity in addition to its use under Section 7.2 hereof to the extent that transmission Capacity is determined to be available by the Operating Agents in accordance with criteria to be developed by the engineering and operating committee. 7.5 If two or more Participants concurrently desire to make non-firm use of transmission Capacity in the same segment of the Transmission System pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof, and the available transmission Capacity in such segment is not adequate to satisfy all such requests, then, unless otherwise agreed to, the available Capacity will be shared by those Participants concurrently requesting such Capacity in proportion to their cost responsibility in such segment. 7.6 The Participants' designated points of delivery shall be as follows: 7.6.1 Arizona = Navajo 500 KV Switchyard and Phoenix Area Substation (s). 7.6.2 Los Angeles = Navajo 500 KV Switchyard and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 500 KV Switchyard. -13- <PAGE> 7.6.3 Nevada = Navajo 500 KV Switchyard and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 287 KV Switchyard.

There will be no charge to any Participant for such service provided pursuant to this Section 7.8, except for compensation in Energy for additional losses that may be incurred as a result of providing such alternate service.
7.9 Upon agreement with all the other Participants, a Participant may at its expense make interconnections to the Transmission System at other points. Such agreement shall specify the terms and conditions under which such interconnections may be made and the charges to the interconnecting Participant, if any, and the distribution of such charges to the other Participants.
7.10 Unless otherwise agreed to by the engineering and operating committee, when the Capacity available to the Participants in any segment of the Transmission System is insufficient to accommodate all of the firm use of the Transmission System pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, then the use of the available Capacity of that segment of the Transmission System will be allocated in proportion to the Participants' cost responsibility in such segment. It is not the intention of the Participants to dedicate any Capacity in the Transmission System for use by third parties.
