Section 14. Miscellaneous.

14.1. Independent Contractor.

Utility and its agents and employees shall perform their obligations under this Servicing Order as independent contractors and not as officers or employees of the State of California. Notwithstanding the above, Utility shall act as the agent of DWR in billing and collecting DWR Charges or DWR Surplus Energy Sales Revenues hereunder, as provided in the Act and Section 80106 of the California Water Code.

14.2. Remedies Cumulative.

DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that except as otherwise provided in this Servicing Order, all rights of termination, cancellation, or other remedies in this Servicing Order are cumulative. DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that the use of any remedy shall not preclude any other remedy available under this Servicing Order.

14.3. Assignment.

(a) DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that except as provided in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) below, neither Party shall assign or otherwise dispose of this Servicing Order, its right, title or interest herein or any part hereof to any entity, without the prior written consent of the other Party. DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that no assignment of this Servicing Order shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Servicing Order until such obligations have been assumed by the assignee. DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that when duly assigned in accordance with this Section 14.3(a) and when accepted by the assignee, this Servicing Order shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the assignee. DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that any assignment in violation of this Section 14.3(a) shall be void.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14.3, Utility may delegate its duties under this Servicing Order to an agent or subcontractor, provided that Utility shall remain fully responsible for performance of any delegated duties and shall provide DWR with 30 calendar days' prior written notice of any such delegation, and further provided that such delegation does not, in the sole discretion of DWR, materially adversely affect DWR's or its Assigns' interests hereunder.

(c) DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that DWR may assign or pledge its rights to receive performance (including payment of Remittances) hereunder to a trustee or another party ("Assign(s)") in order to secure DWR's obligations under its bonds (as that term is defined in the Act), and any such Assign shall be a third party beneficiary of this Servicing Order; provided, however, that this authority to assign or pledge rights to receive performance hereunder shall in no event extend to any person or entity that sells power or other goods or services to DWR. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, DWR may assign or pledge its rights to receive Remittances hereunder to another party in order to secure DWR's other obligations under the Act.

(d) Any person (i) into which Utility may be merged or consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which Utility shall be a party or (iii) which may succeed to the properties and assets of Utility substantially as a whole, which person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Utility hereunder, shall be the successor to Utility under this Servicing Order without further act on the part of any of the Parties to this Servicing Order; provided, however, that Utility shall have delivered to DWR and its Assign(s) an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to DWR stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption complies with this Section 14.3(d) and that all of Utility's obligations hereunder have been validly assumed and are binding on any such successor or assign. DWR agrees that Utility may assign this Servicing Order to any company that may be formed pursuant to Utility's Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, without DWR's prior approval or written consent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, DWR's rights and obligations hereunder shall be transferred, without any action or consent of either Party hereto, to any entity created by the State legislature which is required under Applicable Law to assume the rights and obligations of DWR under Division 27 of the California Water Code.

14.4. Force Majeure.

Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this Servicing Order (including the obligation to remit money at the times specified herein) from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, unusually severe weather, flood, fire, lightning, epidemic, quarantine restriction, war, sabotage, act of a public enemy, earthquake, insurrection, riot, civil disturbance, strike, restraint by court order or Government Authority, or any combination of these causes, which by the exercise of due diligence and foresight such Party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and which by the exercise of due diligence is unable to overcome. An Insolvency Event shall not constitute force majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E it is ordered that, each Party's obligation to pay money hereunder shall continue to the extent such Party is able to make such payment, and any amounts owed by Utility hereunder and received by Utility shall be held in trust for DWR (whether or not held together with other monies) and remitted to DWR as soon as reasonably practicable. DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E it is ordered that, any amounts paid or remitted pursuant to this Section 14.4 shall not bear interest which would otherwise accrue under Section 7.

14.5. Severability.

DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Servicing Order shall for any reason be held to be unenforceable in any respect under Applicable Law, such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Servicing Order, but this Servicing Order shall be construed as if such unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained herein.

14.6. Third-Party Beneficiaries.

The provisions of this Servicing Order are exclusively for the benefit of the Parties and any permitted assignee of either Party.

14.7. Governing Law.

This Servicing Order shall be interpreted, governed and construed under the laws of the State of California as if executed and performed wholly within the State of California.

14.11. Reserved.

14.12. Waivers.

DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that none of the provisions of this Servicing Order shall be considered waived by either Party unless the Party against whom such waiver is claimed gives such waiver in writing. DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that the failure of either Party to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this Servicing Order or to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provisions or the relinquishment of any such rights for the future, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. DWR agrees, and with respect to PG&E, it is ordered that waiver by either Party of any default by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other default.
