L0148\456425\283552668.v12 FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BOX CANYON RESALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SOUTHWEST PUBLIC POWER AGENCY AND PARTICIPANTS 2 L0148\456425\283552668.v12 FIRST AMENDMENT TO BOX CANYON RESALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SOUTHWEST PUBLIC POWER AGENCY AND PARTICIPANTS THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BOX CANYON RESALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of _________________, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Southwest Public Power Agency (hereinafter "SPPA"), a political subdivision of the State of Arizona, organized and existing under the laws of the State of Arizona, including particularly the Act, and the undersigned Participants to the Agreement (hereinafter "Participants" or, at times, individually as "Participant")). SPPA and Participants are sometimes referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” RECITALS WHEREAS, BOCA bn (“Seller”) and SPPA (“Buyer”) entered into a Power Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2022 (the “Box Canyon PPA”), pursuant to which Seller agreed to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agreed to purchase certain renewable energy, capacity and associated environmental attributes; WHEREAS, on December 9, 2022, Seller and Buyer executed the Amended and Restated Box Canyon PPA to amend and restate the Box Canyon PPA in its entirety; WHEREAS, SRP has been purchasing specified output of Box Canyon under short term WSPP Confirmations, and SPPA, Participants, and SRP desire for SRP to join the Box Canyon project as a Participant, and several conditions precedent have been negotiated to SRP’s Participation in the SRP Participation Agreement, dated October 27, 2025; WHEREAS, on October 10, 2025, Seller and Buyer executed the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Box Canyon PPA to accommodate the SRP conditions precedent and make other changes as negotiated and approved by the parties, including modifications to Buyer Working Capital Reserve and Buyer Default Security provisions; and WHEREAS, the Parties hereby amend the Resale Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein to incorporate the changes made to the Amended and Restated Agreement by its First Amendment, and these amendments to the Resale Agreement have been approved by Seller. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, SPPA and Participants agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. Section 4.7, Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: In accordance with the terms of the Box Canyon PPA, SPPA will establish a Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account with a starting balance 30 days prior to the expected Commercial Operation Date and throughout the Term of at least the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Amount. Those Participants who do not meet the Credit Requirements (“Non- 3 L0148\456425\283552668.v12 Investment Grade Participants”) are required to fund the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account, pro rata by Participant Entitlement amongst the Non-Investment Grade Participants. The Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account will be a segregated and dedicated SPPA fund, and amounts in the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account may only be used by SPPA to make payments to Seller that are due and payable pursuant to the Box Canyon PPA, including without limitation, if a Non-Investment Grade Participant has failed to timely pay its share of such amount in accordance with Section 4.9, 9.2 and/or 11.2. To fund the balance of the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account, each Non- Investment Grade Participant, shall pay to SPPA its pro rata share of the starting balance of the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Amount by a date established by SPPA (no later than 45 days prior to the expected Commercial Operation Date). Except to the extent that Participants have been required to step-up their participation pursuant to Article Sixteen or to cover a default by another Participant under Article Twelve, SPPA may only use a Participant's contribution to the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account to pay that Participant's Participant Percentage of a Seller invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, SPPA may not use one Participant's contribution to the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account to pay another Participant's Participant Percentage of a Seller Invoice unless there has been a re-allocation pursuant to Article Twelve or Article Sixteen. When the Box Canyon PPA terminates and all obligations have been satisfied, all Non-Defaulting Non-Investment Grade Participants shall receive their share of the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account. When a Non-Investment Grade Participant terminates its participation by transferring its Entitlement to others, its share of the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account will be returned to it, once all its obligations have been satisfied and the transferee(s) have funded their share of the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Amount obligations, if required. A Defaulting Non-Investment Grade Participant will receive the amount of its share of the Buyer Working Capital Account that remains, if any, after its obligations under this Agreement are satisfied including any costs provided by SPPA due to Participant's default. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Participants acknowledge and expressly consent that the Buyer Working Capital Reserve Account will be subject to an Account Control Agreement in favor of Seller in the event of a default by SPPA pursuant to the Box Canyon PPA. 2. Section 4.10, Funding of Buyer Default Security, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: The obligation to fund Buyer Default Security is borne by Non-Investment Grade Participants, as contemplated under Section 7.4.3 of the Box Canyon PPA, and shall be funded pro rata by the Participant Percentages of the Non-Investment Grade Participants. If, pursuant to Section 7.4.3 of the Box Canyon PPA, SPPA must post the Buyer Default Security, SPPA shall notify the Non-Investment Grade Participants of the posting requirement and each Non-Investment Grade Participant's share of the Buyer Default Security as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to such obligation, after SPPA becomes aware of its need to post the Buyer Default Security. Non-Investment Grade Participants shall, as soon as practicable after notice from SPPA but no later than 5 months from the date of such notice, take all such action, including the payment of funds to SPPA or arrangements for credit, as 4 L0148\456425\283552668.v12 applicable, as SPPA may reasonably require in order for SPPA to post and maintain the Buyer Default Security. 3. An amended Exhibit A to SPPA Project Contract 2021-2 adding SRP as a Project Participant and an amended Schedule 4.1 to the Resale Agreement reflecting the adjusted Participant Entitlement and Participant Percentages are both attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
