The U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is herein referred to as the “Securities Act,” and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder are herein referred to as the “Rules and Regulations.”
The Company hereby agrees with the several Underwriters as follows:
2.Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the several Underwriters that:
(a)The Initial Registration Statement in respect of the Offered Securities has been filed with the Commission; the Initial Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto prior to the date hereof, each in the form heretofore delivered or to be delivered to the Underwriters and, excluding exhibits to the Initial Registration Statement but including all documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained in such Initial Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), including any prospectus supplement relating to the Offered Securities that is filed with the Commission and deemed by virtue of Rule 430B under the Securities Act to be part of the Initial Registration Statement, became effective upon filing with the Commission; other than a registration statement, if any, increasing the size of the offering (a “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”), filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, which, if so filed, became effective upon filing, no other document with respect to the Initial Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference therein has heretofore been filed or transmitted for filing with the Commission with respect to the offering contemplated by the Initial Registration Statement (other than documents filed after the filing date of the Initial Registration Statement under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, each in the form heretofore delivered to the Underwriters); and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto or the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission.
(b)A preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Offered Securities has been prepared by the Company and a final prospectus supplement relating to the Offered Securities will be prepared by the Company in accordance with Section 5(a) hereto.

to Section 5(a) hereof (the “Disclosure Package”), as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Prospectus, as of its date and as amended or supplemented as of the Closing Date (as defined below), does not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) listed on Schedule B(ii) hereto does not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus and each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as supplemented by and taken together with the Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, the preceding two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 7(b) hereof.

(a)The Prospectus as amended or supplemented in relation to the applicable Offered Securities shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) by the Rules and Regulations and in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof; if the Company has elected to rely upon Rule 462(b), the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have become effective by 10:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the date hereof; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or to the knowledge of the Company threatened by the Commission; and all requests for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with.
(b)The Underwriters shall have received from Deloitte & Touche LLP a comfort letter dated the date hereof and a bring-down comfort letter dated the Closing Date, in form and content satisfactory to the Underwriters and their counsel, acting reasonably, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ long-form comfort letters to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and other financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Disclosure Package and the Preliminary Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.
(c)Subsequent to the Applicable Time, there shall not have been (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, which, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities or preferred stock of the
Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as such term is defined in Section 3 of the Exchange Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities or preferred stock of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange; (iv) any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, other than at a time when the immediately prior subsection (iii) also applies; (v) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities; (vi) any material disruption in settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States; or (vii) any attack on, or outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving, the United States, any declaration of war by the United States Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Representatives, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Offered Securities.
(d)The Underwriters shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Jeffery B. Erb, Vice President, Chief Corporate Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company, as appointed counsel for the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(e)The Underwriters shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Perkins Coie LLP, special counsel to the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.
(f)The Underwriters shall have received from Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. In rendering such opinion or opinions, Latham & Watkins LLP may rely as to the incorporation of the Company and all other matters governed by Oregon law upon the opinion of Perkins Coie LLP referred to above.
(g)The Underwriters shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the President or any Vice President and a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company in which such officers, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct, or true and correct in all material respects where such representations and warranties are not qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect and (ii) that the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) that, subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements in, or incorporated by reference in, the Preliminary Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or as described in such certificate.
The Company will furnish the Underwriters with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Underwriters reasonably request. The Underwriters may waive compliance with any conditions to their obligations hereunder.
7.Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the Registration Statement, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading), not misleading, including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below; provided, further, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter, or any person controlling such Underwriter, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), in connection with clauses (i) through (iii) below, purchased Offered Securities, where it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that (i) prior to the Applicable Time the Company has notified such Underwriter that the Preliminary Prospectus, dated July 7, 2021, contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in an amended or supplemented Preliminary Prospectus and such corrected Preliminary Prospectus was provided to such Underwriter sufficiently in advance of the Applicable Time so that such corrected Preliminary Prospectus could have been conveyed to such person prior to the Applicable Time and (iii) such corrected Preliminary Prospectus was not conveyed to such person at or prior to the Applicable Time to such person.
(b)Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement,
the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the Registration Statement, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading), not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: under the caption “Underwriting,” paragraphs 3, 4 (second sentence only), 5, 6 and 7; provided, however, that the Underwriters shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement.
(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through forfeiture or impairment of procedural or substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent the indemnified party and their respective controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party under this Section 7 if the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action, if in the written opinion of counsel to either the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or likely conflicts of interest between them or the indemnifying party shall have failed to employ counsel within a reasonable period of time, and in that event the fees and expenses of one firm of separate counsel (in addition to the fees and expenses of one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such
settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Offered Securities from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.
(e)The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
8.Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters defaults in its or their obligations to purchase the Offered Securities hereunder and the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Offered Securities the non-defaulting Underwriters may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other
persons, including themselves, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase such Offered Securities, that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so defaults and the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Offered Securities and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company, except as provided in Section 9. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein, including the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 9 hereof, will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
9.Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated other than such default by an Underwriter, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of (x) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or (y) the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 6(c), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, provided that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 9 to reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses (including any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in excess of $180,000.
10. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Company in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities and such relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters related to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and not on behalf of the Company. The Company hereby waives any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.
11.Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to each of (i) BMO Capital Markets Corp., 3 Times Square, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Legal Department, facsimile: (212) 702-1205, (ii) MUFG Securities Americas Inc., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attention: Capital Markets Group, facsimile: (646) 434-3455; (iii) PNC Capital Markets LLC, 300 Fifth Avenue, 10th Floor, Pittsburg, PA 15222, Attention: Debt Capital Markets, Fixed Income Transaction Execution, facsimile: 412-762-2760; (iv) SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., 277 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10172, Attention: Debt Capital Markets – Transaction Management; and (v) TD Securities (USA) LLC, 1 Vanderbilt Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10017, Attention: Transaction Management Group, email: USTMG@tdsecurities.com; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at PacifiCorp, 825 NE Multnomah, Suite 2000, Portland, OR 97232, Attention: Legal Department; provided, however, that any notice to a particular Underwriter pursuant to Section 7 will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to such Underwriter.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

EXHIBIT A
Form of Opinion of Jeffery B. Erb, Chief Corporate Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company, as appointed counsel for the Company
(1) To my knowledge and except for the matters disclosed in the Disclosure Package, there is no legal or governmental action, suit or proceeding before any court, governmental agency, body or authority, domestic or foreign, now pending or threatened against or involving the Company or any subsidiary of the Company that, if determined adversely to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, affairs, property or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Mortgage or the Bonds.
(2) The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage and the issuance and sale of the Bonds and the use of proceeds of the Bonds as designated in the Prospectus do not and will not (A) conflict with the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, (B) to my knowledge, conflict with, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or other encumbrance, other than the Mortgage, upon any asset of the Company pursuant to the terms of, or constitute a breach of, or default under, any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Company is a party, or by which the Company is bound or to which any of its properties are subject or (C) to my knowledge, result in a violation of any statute, rule or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree known to me of any court or governmental agency, body or authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, where any such conflict, encumbrance, breach, default or violation under clause (B) or (C) is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, affairs, property or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(3) To my knowledge, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act or state securities or blue sky laws or as may be required by applicable state public utility commissions and under the Federal Power Act, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration by the Company with, any court, governmental agency or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, and the issuance, distribution and sale of the Bonds as contemplated therein, in each case where the effect of the failure to obtain such approval, authorization, consent or order, or make such filing, is material to the Company.
(4) The Company has good and sufficient title to the Properties subject to the Mortgage, which include substantially all of the permanent physical properties of the Company (other than those expressly excepted), subject only to Excepted Encumbrances and defects and irregularities customarily found in properties of like size and character that, in my opinion, do not materially impair the use of the property affected thereby in the operation of the business of the Company; the descriptions in the Mortgage of such of the Properties as are described therein are adequate for the Mortgage to constitute a lien thereon; the Mortgage constitutes a valid lien in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the bonds issued pursuant to the Mortgage and, to the best of my knowledge, there is no lien on such Properties prior or equal to the lien of the Mortgage, other than the exceptions enumerated above in this paragraph 4.
EXHIBIT B
Form of Opinion of Perkins Coie LLP, special counsel to the Company
1. The Company is a corporation validly existing under the laws of Oregon, with the corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.
2. Based solely on the certificates attached as Schedule B, the Company is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
3. The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture, to issue the Bonds and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.
4. Each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
5. The Mortgage constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
6. The Mortgage has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
7. The Bonds are in the form contemplated by the Mortgage, have been duly authorized by the Company for issuance and sale pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage, have been duly executed by the Company and, when authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Mortgage and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefore pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and entitled to the benefits of the Mortgage.
8. The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Bonds” and “Description of Additional Bonds” insofar as they purport to summarize the provisions of the Mortgage and the Bonds, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects. The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of United States federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, fairly summarize the matters described therein in all material respects.
9. No approval, authorization, consent or order of, or filing with any governmental authority is required in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds by the Company, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the due authorization, execution or delivery of the Underwriting Agreement or the due execution, delivery or performance of the Mortgage by the Company, in each case where the effect of the failure to obtain such approval, authorization, consent or order, or to make such filing, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except (a) as may be required under federal or state “blue sky” securities laws and regulations and (b) such as have been obtained or made.
10. The Idaho Public Utilities Commission and the Public Utility Commission of Oregon have entered appropriate orders, which to our knowledge remain in full force and effect on the date of this letter, each authorizing the issuance of the Bonds by the Company; the Company has filed a notice with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission regarding the issuance and sale of the Bonds that complies with the filing requirements of RCW 80.08.040 and WAC 480-100-242; the Company has filed a notice of proposed securities issuance with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission regarding the issuance and sale of the Bonds pursuant to Order No. 34831; and, together with certain exemptive orders that have been issued by each of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California, the Public Service Commission of Utah and the Public Service Commission of Wyoming (each which to our knowledge remains in full force and effect on the date of this letter), such orders and notices constitute the only approval, authorization, consent or other order of, or notification to, any governmental body legally required in connection with the regulation of the Company as a public utility for the authorization of the issuance of the Bonds by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
11. The Registration Statement was declared immediately effective under the Securities Act on September 25, 2020; the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) on July 7, 2021 in a manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act; and, based solely on a review of the contents of the Commission’s stop orders webpage located at www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml, as of the date hereof, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and, to our knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated by the Commission.
12. Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, and the Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date, including in each case the information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, and the Prospectus, as of its date, each appear on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to the financial statements, schedules, other financial data, or exhibits included or incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statements, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.
13. The Company is not, and, immediately after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Bonds in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and to the application of the net proceeds received by the Company from the offering and sale of the Bonds as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, will not, be required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successor or successors in such trust under the Mortgage, as follows:
ARTICLE I
Forty-Ninth Series of Bonds
SECTION 1.01. There shall be a series of bonds designated “2.90% Series due 2052” (herein sometimes referred to as the Forty-Ninth Series), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond,” and the form thereof, which shall be established by or pursuant to a Resolution, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified.
(I) Bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series shall mature on June 15, 2052 and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in the minimum denomination of two thousand dollars and, at the option of the Company, any multiple or multiples of one thousand dollars in excess thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof).
The Company reserves the right to establish, at any time, by or pursuant to a Resolution filed with the Trustee, a form of coupon bond, and or appurtenant coupons, for the Forty-Ninth Series and to provide for exchangeability of such coupon bonds with the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate provisions for such purpose.
Bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without notice to or the consent of any then-existing holder or holders of any bond of the Forty-Ninth Series, for issuances of additional bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series in an unlimited principal amount. Any such additional bonds will have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as those initially issued, except for payment of interest accruing prior to the original issue date of such additional bonds and, if applicable, for the first interest payment date following such original issue date.
(II) Bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series shall bear interest at the rate of two and nine tenths per centum (2.90%) per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on December 15 and June 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series shall be dated and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.06 of the Mortgage.
The initial Interest Payment Date is December 15, 2021. The amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any date on which interest is payable on any bond of the Forty-Ninth Series is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any additional interest or other payment in respect of any delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such date.
Interest payable on any bond of the Forty-Ninth Series and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date for such bond will be paid to the person in whose name the bond is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter specified) for such bond next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. So long as the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series remain in book-entry only form, the “Record Date” for each Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on the Business Day before the applicable Interest Payment Date. If the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series are not in book-entry only form, the Record Date for each Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on the 1st calendar day of the month in which the applicable Interest Payment Date occurs (whether or not a Business Day).
“Business Day” means, for purposes of this Section (II), a day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, or (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed.
Any interest on any bond of the Forty-Ninth Series which is payable but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such bond (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered owner on the relevant Record Date for the payment of such interest solely by virtue of such owner having been such owner; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection (i) or (ii) below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series to the persons in whose names such bonds are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as hereinafter defined) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: The Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the proposed date of payment, notify the Trustee in writing (signed by an Authorized Financial Officer of the Company) of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each bond of the Forty-Ninth Series and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection provided and not to be deemed part of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a record date (herein referred to as a “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which date shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each registered owner of a bond of the Forty-Ninth Series at his, her or its address as it appears in the bond register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection (ii).
|
|
|
(ii)
|
The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such bonds may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
|
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each bond of the Forty-Ninth Series delivered under the Mortgage upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other bond shall carry all rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other bond and each such bond shall bear interest from such date, that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.
(III) The principal of and interest and premium, if any, on each bond of the Forty-Ninth Series shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts or in such other currency or currency unit as shall be determined by or in accordance with the Resolution filed with the Trustee.
(IV) Bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series shall not be redeemable prior to maturity at the option of any holder or holders of such bonds. Bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series shall be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to maturity at the option of the Company. Prior to December 15, 2051 (the “par call date”), the redemption price shall include accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the bonds to be redeemed, plus the greater of (a) one hundred per centum (100%) of the principal amount of bonds then Outstanding to be redeemed, and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series matured on the par call date (not including any portion of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to but not including the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker.
At any time on or after the par call date, the redemption price shall include accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the bonds to be redeemed, plus one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of bonds then Outstanding to be redeemed.
The Company shall give the Trustee notice of the redemption price referred to in the second preceding sentence immediately after the calculation thereof, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. If the Company elects to partially redeem the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series, the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series to be redeemed shall be selected by lot; provided, that if the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series are in book-entry only form, interests in such bonds shall be selected for redemption by The Depository Trust Company in accordance with its standard procedures therefor.
“Business Day” means, for purposes of this Section (IV), a day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, or (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series to be redeemed (that would be due if the bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series matured on the par call date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such bonds (the “Remaining Life”).
“Independent Investment Banker” means an investment banking institution of international standing appointed by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City appointed by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount and quoted in writing to the Company by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day in New York City preceding such redemption date).
“Treasury Rate” means, as of a given redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent or interpolated (on a day-count basis) yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation for the applicable redemption date.
(V) Each bond of the Forty-Ninth Series may have such other terms as are not inconsistent with Section 2.03 of the Mortgage, and as may be determined by or in accordance with a Resolution filed with the Trustee.
(VI) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series and same terms of other authorized denominations.
(VII) Bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series shall be transferable, subject to any restrictions thereon set forth in any such bond of the Forty-Ninth Series, upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, together with a written instrument of transfer, if required by the Company, duly executed by the registered owner or by his, her or its duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Upon any transfer or exchange of bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other government charge, as provided in Section 2.08 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series.
(VIII) After the execution and delivery of this Thirty-Second Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage and this Thirty-Second Supplemental Indenture, it is contemplated that there shall be issued bonds of the Forty-Ninth Series in an initial aggregate principal amount of One Billion Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000,000).
