•
|
Customers with DG solar systems are to be considered a separate class of customers for ratemaking purposes; and
|
•
|
Once an export price is set for APS, no netting or banking of retail credits will be available for new DG customers, and the then-applicable export price will be guaranteed for new customers for a period of 10 years.

Commitments and Contingencies
|
•
|
Following the passage of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act in 2016, EPA possesses authority to either authorize states to develop their own permit programs for CCR management or issue federal permits governing CCR disposal both in states without their own permit programs and on tribal lands. Although ADEQ has taken steps to develop a CCR permitting program, it is not clear when that program will be put into effect. On December 19, 2019, EPA proposed its own set of regulations governing the issuance of CCR management permits.
|
•
|
On March 1, 2018, as a result of a settlement with certain environmental groups, EPA proposed adding boron to the list of constituents that trigger corrective action requirements to remediate groundwater impacted by CCR disposal activities. Apart from a subsequent proposal issued on August 14, 2019 to add a specific, health-based groundwater protection standard for boron, EPA has yet to take action on this proposal.
|
•
|
Based on an August 21, 2018 D.C. Circuit decision, which vacated and remanded those provisions of the EPA CCR regulations that allow for the operation of unlined CCR surface impoundments, EPA recently proposed corresponding changes to federal CCR regulations. On November 4, 2019, EPA proposed that all unlined CCR surface impoundments, regardless of their impact (or lack thereof) upon surrounding groundwater, must cease operation and initiate closure by August 31, 2020 (with an optional three-month extension as needed for the completion of alternative disposal capacity).
|
•
|
On November 4, 2019, EPA also proposed to change the manner by which facilities that have committed to cease burning coal in the near-term may qualify for alternative closure. Such qualification would allow CCR disposal units at these plants to continue operating, even though they would otherwise be subject to forced closure under the federal CCR regulations. EPA’s proposal regarding alternative closure would require express EPA authorization for such facilities to continue operating their CCR disposal units under alternative closure.

(a)
|
These contracts are economic hedges of our forecasted purchases of natural gas and electricity. The impact of these hypothetical price movements would substantially offset the impact that these same price movements would have on the physical exposures being hedged. To the extent the amounts are eligible for inclusion in the PSA, the amounts are recorded as either a regulatory asset or liability.

A.
|
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has adopted, and the Company’s shareholders have approved, the Pinnacle West Capital Corporation 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which Performance Share Awards and Dividend Equivalent Awards may be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
|
B.
|
The Company desires to grant to Employee Performance Shares and Dividend Equivalents under the terms of the Plan.
|
C.
|
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company and Employee agree as follows:
|
1.
|
Grant of Award. Pursuant to action of the Committee, which was taken on the Date of Grant, the Company grants to Employee ____________ (____) Performance Shares and related Dividend Equivalents. The Performance Shares granted under this Section 1 are referred to in this Award Agreement as the “Base Grant.”
|
2.
|
Award Subject to Plan. This Performance Share Award and the related Dividend Equivalent Award are granted under and are expressly subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, which terms are incorporated herein by reference, and this Award Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
|
3.
|
Performance Period. The Performance Period for this Award begins January 1, ____, and ends December 31, ____.
|
4.
|
Payment and Vesting.
|
(a)
|
Performance Shares Payable In Stock. As soon as practicable in the fiscal year immediately following the end of the Performance Period, the Company will determine (i) the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (as defined herein) as compared to the Total Shareholder Return of the companies in the S&P 1500 Super Composite Electric Utility Index (the “Growth Index”) over the Performance Period and (ii) the Company’s Average Performance with respect to the Performance Metrics (as defined herein). The Company then will deliver to Employee one (1) share of the Company’s Stock for each then-outstanding Performance Share under this Award Agreement, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below. The Company anticipates that the Stock payout, if any, related to the Company’s Total Shareholder Return will be made by __________. The Company anticipates that the Stock payout, if any, related to the Performance Metrics will be made by __________ and in no event will such Stock payout be made later than __________.
|
(b)
|
Normal or Early Retirement, Death or Disability; Late Career Recipient.
|
(c)
|
Termination Without Cause. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company may determine in his discretion if, to what extent, and when any unvested portion of the Performance Shares granted under this Agreement should vest; provided, however, that (i) any vesting of unvested Performance Shares granted under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be approved by the Committee, and (ii) nothing herein shall obligate the CEO to exercise his discretion to cause any unvested Performance Shares to vest.
|
(d)
|
Termination For Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 4, in the event Employee is terminated for Cause, then regardless of Employee’s retirement, Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, death or Disability, Employee shall forfeit the right to receive any Stock hereunder that Employee would otherwise be entitled to receive following his or her date of termination. For purposes only of this Section 4(d), “Cause” means (A) embezzlement, theft, fraud, deceit and/or dishonesty by the Employee involving the property, business or affairs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (B) an act of moral turpitude which in the sole judgment of the CEO reflects adversely on the business or reputation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or negatively affects any of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ employees or customers.
|
(e)
|
Disability. “Disability” has the meaning set forth for such term in the Retirement Plan.
|
(f)
|
Dividend Equivalents. In satisfaction of the Dividend Equivalents Award made pursuant to Section 1, at the time of the Company’s delivery of Stock to Employee pursuant to this Section 4, the Company also will deliver to Employee fully transferrable shares of Stock equal in value to the amount of dividends, if any, that Employee would have received if Employee had directly owned the Stock to which the Performance Shares relate from the Date of Grant to the date of the Stock payout, plus interest on such amount at the rate of 5 percent compounded quarterly, as determined pursuant to the Plan. The number of shares of Stock distributed to Employee will be determined by dividing the amount of the Dividend Equivalents and interest by the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock as of the applicable date of the Stock payout. No fractional Stock
|
(g)
|
Impact on Retirement Plans. The value of the shares of Stock distributed upon payment for the Performance Shares and Dividend Equivalents will be disregarded for purposes of calculating the amount of Employee’s benefit under any Company retirement plans.
|
5.
|
Performance Criteria and Adjustments. Fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Shares awarded under this Award Agreement will be determined pursuant to Section 5(a) and fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Shares awarded under this Award Agreement will be determined pursuant to Section 5(b).

|
(a)

Definitions.
|
(a)
|
Performance Metrics. The “Performance Metrics” for the Performance Period are: (i) the System Average Interruption Frequency Index (Major Events Excluded) (“SAIFI”); (ii) Arizona Public Service Company’s customer to employee improvement ratio; (iii) the OSHA rate (All Incident Injury Rate); (iv) nuclear capacity factor; and (v) coal capacity factor.
|
(1)
|
With respect to the Performance Metric described in clause (i) of this Subsection 6(a), the Edison Electric Institute (“EEI”) will provide data on an annual basis regarding the SAIFI result of the participating companies; the Company will calculate its SAIFI result for the year in question and determine its percentile ranking based on the information provided by EEI.
|
(2)
|
With respect to the Performance Metric described in clause (ii) of this Subsection 6(a), S&P Global Market Intelligence (“Market Intelligence”), an independent third party data system, will provide data on an annual basis regarding the customer and employee counts; the Company will use its customer and employee counts for the year in question and determine its percentile ranking based on the information provided by Market Intelligence. Only those companies whose customers and employees were included in the data provided by Market Intelligence in each of the years of the Performance Period will be considered.
|
(3)
|
With respect to the Performance Metric described in clause (iii) of this Subsection 6(a), EEI will provide data on an annual basis regarding the OSHA rate of the participating companies; the Company will calculate its OSHA rate for the year in question and determine its percentile ranking based on the information provided by EEI.
|
(4)
|
With respect to the Performance Metric described in clause (iv) of this Subsection 6(a), Market Intelligence will provide data on an annual basis regarding the nuclear capacity factors of the participating nuclear plants; the Company will calculate its nuclear capacity factor for the year in question and determine its percentile ranking based on the information provided by Market Intelligence. Only those plants that were included in the data provided by Market Intelligence in each of the years of the Performance Period will be considered.
|
(5)
|
With respect to the Performance Metric described in clause (v) of this Subsection 6(a), Market Intelligence will provide data on an annual basis regarding the coal capacity factors of the participating coal plants; the Company will calculate its coal capacity factor for the year in question and determine its percentile ranking based on the information provided by Market Intelligence. Only those plants that were included in the data provided by Market Intelligence in each of the years of the Performance Period will be considered.
|
(6)
|
The Company’s percentile ranking during the Performance Period for each Performance Metric will be the average of the Company’s percentile ranking for each Performance Metric during each of the three years of the Performance Period (each, an “Average Performance Metric”); provided, however, that if the third year of a Performance Metric is not calculable by December 15 of the following year, the Performance Metric shall consist of the three most recent years for which such Performance Metric is calculable. The Company’s “Average Performance,” for purposes of determining any Base Grant adjustments pursuant to Subsection 5(b) above will be the average of the Average Performance Metrics. If only quartile, rather than percentile, rankings are available for a particular Performance Metric, the Average Performance Metric for any such Performance Metric shall be expressed as a percentile. For example, if the Performance Metric was in the top quartile for two Performance Periods and in the lowest quartile in the other
|
(7)
|
If either EEI or Market Intelligence discontinues providing the data specified above, the Committee shall select a data source that, in the Committee’s judgment, will provide data most comparable to the data provided by EEI or Market Intelligence, as the case may be.
|
(b)
|
Total Shareholder Return. “Total Shareholder Return” for the Performance Period is the measure of a company’s stock price appreciation plus any dividends paid during the Performance Period. Only those companies that were included in the Growth Index in each of the years of the Performance Period will be considered. Total Shareholder Return for the Company and the companies in the Growth Index will be determined using the Daily Comparative Return as calculated by Bloomberg (or other independent third party data system). If the Growth Index is discontinued, the Committee shall select the most comparable index then in use for the sector comparison. In addition, if the sector comparison is no longer representative of the Company’s industry or business, the Committee shall replace the Growth Index with the most representative index then in use. Once the Total Shareholder Returns of the Company and all relevant companies in the Growth Index have been determined, the member companies will be ranked from greatest to least. Percentiles will be calculated (interpolated from 0% to 100%) based on a company’s relative ranking. Percentiles will be carried out to one (1) decimal place. If the Company is not in the Growth Index, then its percentile will be interpolated between the companies listed in the relative ranking. These calculations will be verified by the Company’s internal auditors.
|
7.
|
Termination of Award. This Award Agreement will terminate and be of no further force or effect on the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether due to voluntary or involuntary termination, death, retirement, Disability, or otherwise, except as specifically set forth in Section 4 above or in Article 15 of the Plan. Employee will, however, be entitled to receive any Stock and Dividend Equivalents payable under Section 4 of this Award Agreement if Employee’s employment terminates after the end of the Performance Period but before Employee’s receipt of such Stock and Dividend Equivalents.
|
8.
|
Section 409A Compliance. If the Company concludes, in the exercise of its discretion, that this Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be administered in compliance with Section 409A and each provision of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be interpreted to comply with Section 409A. If the Company concludes, in the exercise of its discretion, that this Award is not subject to Section 409A, but, instead, is eligible for the short-term deferral exception to the requirements of Section 409A, the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be administered to comply with the requirements of the short-term deferral exception to the requirements of Section 409A and each provision of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of such exception.

Employee shall pay any and all Taxes due in connection with a payout of Stock hereunder by having the Company withhold shares of Stock from such payout.
|
10.
|
Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Award Agreement shall be interpreted to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its subsidiaries to terminate Employee’s employment or services at any time.

Employee shall have no obligation to keep confidential any Confidential Information, if and to the extent disclosure of any such information is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, Employee shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement, prior to making any disclosure, so that it may seek an appropriate protective order.

|
any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
