Re:BPMC Legal Representation
Mr.Evans:
Pursuant to our conversations,this fetter confirms the unanimous decision of the Bradley Lake
Project Management Committee ("BPMC”)}to engage the legal services of McDowell Rackner &
Gibson PC (the "Firm').
On behalf of all of us at the Firm,we are very pleased to have the opportunity to continue to act
as BPMC's legal counsel.The purpose of this letter is to outline the terms of our professional
relationship.
1.Nature of Engagement and Scope of Legal Services.BPMC will be the entity
with whom the Firm has an attorney-client relationship.BPMC is retaining the Firm to provide
energy and regulatory advice as directed.This engagement letter may also cover other matters
as the BPMC may from time to time request and the Firm agrees to perform unless these
matters are covered by a new engagement letter or an addendum to this letter.
2.Staffing/Compensation,Billing and Expenses.|,Kirk Gibson,will be principally
responsible for this work,with assistance from our firm Associates where practicable.My
current public power rate is $335/hour.Our associate rates range from $225/hour to $300/hour.
We will bill you monthly for our services and we understand that you agree to pay the Firm
these fees cn a timely basis.We also understand that the Firm is authorized to incur reasonable
costs and expenses on your behalf in connection with this engagement.This includes items
such as messenger services,travel-related costs,and mileage.It expressly excludes the costs
of computerized research.
3.Representation of the BPMC.The utility members of the BPMC have
unanimously voted that the Firm represent them collectively on matters relating to the activities
of the BPMC.Because of the Firm's ongoing representation of Golden Valley Electric

Association on a variety of related and unrelated maiters,it is necessary to carefully outline the
structure and terms of such representation.
In order to avoid conflicts of interest that would result in the inability of one or more BPMC
utilities to utilize legal counsel of their choosing,it is necessary to avoid any relationship that
would result in my being deemed to represent any of the utilities Individually as a result solely of
this collective representation.
In order to avoid an individual attorney-client relationship with each BPMC utility,the Firm
proposes that It represent only an entity consisting of the BPMC utilities consistent with thearrangementtheBPMChadwithAterWynneLLP.In order to commence the desired
representation,!propose that each member of the BPMC sign this letter indicating acceptance
of the following terms:
A.The utilities involved with the Bradley Lake hydroelectric facilityhavecreatedtheBPMCforthepurposesofadvancingtheircommoninterestsas
members of the BPMC,and of securing legal and consulting services to advise
and represent them on those matters of common interest.
B.The Group retains the Firm only as to matters within the authority
of the BPMC as that authority is defined in Section 13(c)of the Power Sales
Agreement.In its representation of the Group,the Firm shall advise and
represent the Group members only with respect to their duties as members of the
BPMC,as those duties are defined in Section 13(c)of the Power Sales
Agreement.
C.No communication to the Firm by any utility member of the Group,
as a result of the Firm's representation of the Group,shall be confidential from
other members of the Group.The Parties will not disclose to the Firm any
information that they are not willing to have used in this manner.
D,For purposes of determining conflicts of interest and any resulting
limitations on the Firm's ability to represent any individual member of the Group,
the Firm is counsel to the Group and will undertake no representation of any
other party that is in conflict with such representation.
E,The Firm's representation of the Group does nat constitute
representation of any individual member of the Group and shall not preclude the
Firm from any representation adverse to an individual Group member,so long as
such representation is not adverse to the interests of the Group as a whole.
F.The Group designates the Chalrman of the Group for the
purposes of assigning work to the Firm and of giving direction as to how their
March 2,2010
Page 3
assigned work should be carried out.
G.Billings for legal services will be sent to such entity or entities as
the Chairman may direct from time to time.
H.This letter may be signed in more than one counterpart,and ail
signed counterparts shail together be considered as one agreement.
|very much fook forward to continuing the strong and productive professional relationship that
exists belween our organizations.
McDowell Rackner &Gibson PC
Bradley Lake Project Management Committee
Dated:Wlaythad 4 .ZENS
BPMC Regular Meeting 9/25/2015
Agenda Item 4 ---HEA Objection to published Agenda items ---
a.HEA objects to the inclusion of Item 7.B ("Resolution 14-11 -Mediation or dispute
resolution process Kirk Gibson”)for discussion on the BPMC's agenda.
Mr.Gibson has professional and ethical responsibilities owed to each individual member of the
BPMC.
This particular question of a "contractual agreed to dispute resolution”has been raised by the
Protesting Utilities in the lawsuits.
HEA does not consent to McDowell Rackner &Gibson's representation of the Group in
connection with any matter in the lawsuit,particularly in providing an opinion on a matter that
may be adverse to one or more members of the Group he claims to represent.
b.HEA also objects to the inclusion of Item 8C ("Homer's Notice of Claims Kirk Gibson”)
for discussion on the BPMC's agenda.
This item appears to be a reference to a letter from HEA's lawyers to the attorneys for
four utilities,ML&P,GVEA,MEA,and CEA.The letter was not sent to this committee.What
the four utilities do,or don't do,in response to the notice is not a proper matter for this
committee's action.

HEAs
BPMC Regular Meeting 9/25/2015
Agenda Item 4 ---HEA's Objections to Additional Agenda Items proposed by MEA by email
9/7/15
1."An explanation by AEA of their 'new'position in the on-going litigation.”
HEA objects to the inclusion of this item on the agenda.It is not appropriate for the BPMC to
ask the AEA for "an explanation of its position in litigation.”Should the parties in the on-going
Supreme Court matter have questions for AEA,they should ask them through their lawyers in
the litigation.
2."A potential motion to notify the Trustee on the bonds of the status of the
litigation and the new assertion of restraint of trade by HEA.”
HEA objects to the inclusion of this item on the agenda.AEA is the Borrower and the entity that
communicates with its Lenders.The BPMC should not be involved in communication between
the Borrower and the Lenders on the bonds.
4,"A discussion of the purpose and objective of mediation with HEA.”
HEA objects to the inclusion of this item on the agenda.First,the BPMC is NOTa party in the
lawsuit and would not be mediating with HEA.Second,none of the utilities in the litigation
should be asked to state their purposes and objectives at a meeting of the BPMC.Third,the
BPMC is not the appropriate entity to sponsor settlement discussions between the litigants in the
lawsuit.On that point,HEA has stated to the RCA's lawyer that it is willing to participate in
good faith settlement discussions,within the context of the litigation settlement proceedings.
5."Possible BPMC response to RCA letter to the legislature,inter alia”
HEA objects to the inclusion of this item on the agenda.The contemplated action,a BPMC
response to an RCA letter to the Legislature,exceeds the BPMC's authority under the Power
Sales Agreement and should not be an item for discussion on the Agenda.
112347-0001/127982479.1
BPMC Regular Meeting 9/25/2015
Agenda Item 6 ---Approval of Meeting Minutes
There is an error in the minutes at Item 8B,on page 2,in the first sentence,second to the last
paragraph.The draft minutes state:
"Mr.Gibson informed he wrote a letter to Rick Baldwin ofHEA,at the direction of the Chair,...
The letter referenced here by Mr.Gibson was not written to Attorney Baldwin,it was written to
me,Harvey Ambrose.The minutes should be corrected to accurately state who the letter was
written to.
112347-0001/127982479.1
BPMC Regular Meeting 9/25/2015
HEA comments on Agenda Item 7.B:
"Resolution 14-11 -Mediation or dispute resolution process Kirk Gibson”
This old business item is identified for discussion by Mr.Kirk Gibson.At the last meeting,the
Chair requested Mr.Gibson provide the Committee "with an opinion on whether the Resolution
14-11 process was mediation or the contractual agreed to dispute resolution.”
We repeat our objection:
HEA does not consent to McDowell Rackner &Gibson's representation of the Group in
connection with any matter in the lawsuit,particularly in providing an opinion on a matter that
will be adverse,either way,to a member of the Group he claims to represent.
Mr.Gibson represents the individual members of the group but only in connection with certain
matters consented to by each member of the BPMC.As to those matters,Mr.Gibson is the
lawyer for each utility member of the Group.We have separately advised the Chair and Mr.
Gibson that Mr.Gibson is not authorized by HEA to address others members of this committee
in connection with HEA's August 27 letter to ML&P,GVEA,MEA,and CEA.Just as
comments at this BPMC meeting regarding HEA's notices to other utilities are inappropriate,it
is inappropriate for the Group's attorney to advise the Group in any manner where the interests
of his clients are not aligned.”
112347-0001/127982479.1
BPMC Regular Meeting 9/25/2015
HEA comments on Agenda Item 8.C
HEA continues to object to discussion of the item Homer's Notice of Claims in this meeting.
First,HEA,through its lawyers,wrote to the attorneys for four utilities,ML&P,GVEA,MEA,
and CEA.In the letter,HEA put four utilities on notice that,based on its review of the law and
facts,the actions of ML&P,GVEA,MEA,and CEA violate the Alaska Antitrust and Unfair
Trade Practices Acts.”
The letter was not sent to this committee.What the four utilities do or don't do in response to
the notice is not a proper matter,in our view,for this committee's discussion or action.
Second,Mr.Gibson has no place describing or in any way commenting on a dispute between the
members he represents in his role as the lawyer for the BPMC.
Third,Homer stands by its statements in the letter.If any member of this group wants to know
what was said to its attorney in the letter,that member should ask its attorney.Nothing Homer
says --or does not say --during this meeting changes its notice to the recipients of the letter.”
