This license is subject to the following antitrust conditions:
(1) As used herein:
(a)
" Entity" means any financially responsible person.
l private or public corporation, municipality, county, cooperative, association, joint stock association or business trust, owning, operating or proposing to own or operate equipment or facilities within the State of l
Georgia (other than Chatham, Effingham, Fannin, Towns and Union Counties) for the generation, transmission or distribution of electricity, provided that, except for municipalities, counties, or rural electric cooper-atives, " entity" is restricted to those which are or will be public utilities under the laws of the State of Georgia or under the laws of the United States, and are or will be providing retail electric service under a contract or rate schedule on file with and subject to the regulation of the Public Service Commission of the State of Georgia or any regulatory agency of the l
United States, and, provided further, that as to munici-palities, counties or rural electric cooperatives,
" entity" is restricted to those which provide electri-city to the public at retail within the State of Georgia l
(other than Chatham, Effingham, Fannin, Towns and Union i
Counties) or to responsible and legally qualified organ-izations of such municipalities, counties and/or cooper-atives in the State of Georgia (other than Chatham, Effingham, Fannin, Towns and Union Counties) to the extent they may bind their members.
(b)
" Power Company" means Georgia Power Company, any successor, assignee of this license, or assignee of all or substantially all of Georgia Power Company's assets, and any affiliate or
' subsidiary of Georgia Power Company to the extent it engages in the ownership of any bulk power supply generation or transmission resource in the State of Georgia (but specifically not including (1) flood rights and other land rights acquired in the State of Georgia incidental to hydroelectric generation 1

facilities located in another state and (2) facilities located j
west of the thread of the stream on that part of the
}
Chattahoochee River serving as the boundary between the States
)
5' (2)
Power Company recognizes that it is often in the public i
interest for those engaging in bulk power supply and purchases i
to interconnect, coordinate for reliability and economy, and engage in bulk power supply transactions in order to i
increase interconnected system reliability and reduce the costs of electric power. Such arrangements must provide for Power Company's costs (including a reasonable return) 1 in connection therewith and allow other participating entities 1
full access to the benefits available from interconnected bulk power supply operations and must provide net benefits i
to Power Company.
In entering into such arrangements neither Power Company nor any other participant should be required j
to violate the principles of sound engineering practice or forego a reasonably contemporaneous alternative arrangement l
with another, developed in good faith in arms length nego-1 i
tiations (but not including arrangements between Power Company and its affiliates or subsidiaries which impair entities' i
rights hereunder more than they would be impaired were such i
1 arrangements made in good faith between Power Company and a non-affiliate or non-subsidiary) which affords it greater i
benefits. Any such arrangement must provide for adequate notice and joint planning procedures consistent with-souhd engineering practice, and must relieve Power Company from obligations undertaken by it in the event such procedures i
are not followed by any participating entity.
Power Company recognizes that each entity may acquire some
}
or all of its bulk power supply from sources other than Power j
Company.
In the implementation of the obligations stated in the suc-ceeding paragraphs, Power Company and entities shall act in i-accordance with the foregoing principles, and these principles j
j are conditions to each of Power Company's obligations herein 1
j undertaken.

(3)
Power Company shall interconnect with any entity which provides, j
or which has undertaken firm contractual obligations to provide, j
some or all of its bulk power supply from sources other than Power Company on terms to be included in an interconnection i
agreement which shall provide for appropriate allocation i
of the costs of interconnection facilities; provided however, I
that if an entity undertakes to negotiate such a firm contractual I
obligation, the Power Company shall, in good faith, negotiate i
with such entity concerning any proposed interconnection.
Such' interconnection agreement shall provide, without undue i

. preference or discrimination, for the following.among u +.r things, insofar as consistent with the operating necessiLas of Power Company's and any participating entity's systems:
(a) maintenance and coordination of reserves, including, where appropriate, the purchase and sale thereof, (b) emergency support, (c) maintenance support, (d) economy energy exchanges, (e) purchase and sale of firm and non-firm capacity and
- energy, (f) economic dispatch of power resources within the State of Georgia, provided, however, that in no event shall such arrangements impose a higher percentage of reserve requirements on the participating entity than that maintained by Power Company for similar resources.
(4)
Power Company shall sell full requirements power to any entity.
Power Company shall sell partial requirements power to any entity. Such sales shall be made pursuant to rates on file with the Federal Power Commission, or any successor regulatory agency, and subject to reasonable terms and conditions.
(5)
(a)
Power Company shall transmit (" transmission service")
bulk power over its system to any entity or entities with which it is interconnected, pursuant to rate schedules on file with the Federal Power Commission which will fully compensate Power Company for the use j
of its system, to the extent that such arrangements can be accommodated from a functional engineering
]
standpoint and to the extent that Power Company has surplus line capacity or reasonably available funds to finance new construction for this purpose. To the extent the entity or entities are able, they shall reciprocally provide transmission service to Power Company. Transmission service will be provided under this subparagraph for the delivery of power to an 3
entity for its or its members' consumption and retail distribution or for casual resale to another entity for (1) its consumption or (2) its retail dis-tribution. Nothing contained herein shall require the Power Company to transmit bulk power so as to have the effect of making the Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA") or its distributors, directly or indirectly, a source of power supply outside the area determined by the TVA Board Amendment No. 144 i
i t
I-of Directors by resolution of May 16, 1966 to be the area for which the TVA or its distributors were the primary i
source of power supply on July 1,1957, the date specified j
in the Revenue Bond Act of 1959, 16 USC 831 n-4.
i.
(b)
Power Company shall transmit over its system from any l'
entity or entities with which it is interconnected, pursuant to rate schedules on file with the Federal Power Commission which will fully compensate Power Company for the use of its system, bulk power which
{
results from any such entity having excess capacity f.
available from self-owned generating resources in the l
State of Georgia, to the extent such excess necessarily results from economic unit sizing or from failure to forecast load accurately or from such generating resources becoming operational earlier than the planned in-service date, to the extent that such arrangements can be accom-j modated from a functional engineering standpoint, and j
to the extent Power Company has surplus line capacity available.
i (6)
Upon request, Power Company'shall provide service to any entity purchasing partial requirements service, full requirements service i
or transmission service from Power Company at a delivery voltage
{
appropriate for loads served by such entity, commensurate with Power 1
Company's available transmission facilities. Sales of such service shall be made pursuant to rates on file with the Federal Power Commission or any successor regulatory agency, and subject to 4
reasonable terms and conditions.
l I
(7)
Upon reasonable notice, Power Company shall. grant any entity the opportunity to purchase an appropriate share in the ownership of, j-or, at the option of the entity, to purchase an appropriate share of unit power from each of the following nuclear generating units at Power Company's costs, to the extent the same are constructed and operated: Hatch 2, Vogtle 1, Vogtle 2, Vogtle 3. Vogtle 4, and any other nuclear generating unit constructed by Power Company in the State of Georgia which, in the application filed with the USAEC or its successor agency, is scheduled for commercial operation prior to January 1, 1989.
An entity's request for a share must have regard for the economic size of such nuclear unit (s), for the entity's load size, growth and characteristics, and for demands upon Power Company's system from other entities and Power Company's retail customers, all in accordance with sound engineering practice.
Executory agreements to accomplish the foregoing shall contain provisions reasonably specified by Power Company requiring the entity to consummate and pay for such purchase by an early date or dates certain.
For purposes of this provision, " unit power" shall mean capacity and associated energy from a specified generating unit.
