Based on Operator's understanding of the drivers behind Owner’s operating track\nrecord, Operator is not looking to focus on prior faults. Instead Operator's focus, as a new\npermanent organization, will be towards improving service and rebuilding the system together\nwith Owner.\nAs part of the transition towards Operator providing O&M Services, Operator intends to tap into\nthe institutional knowledge of Owner's employees that it ultimately hires to help increase overall\nbuy-in. The transformation of the T&D System operations will depend on further developing the\ntalents and resourcefulness of these Owner employees that are offered positions with and that\nchoose to join the Operator. Operator will work to improve the employee experience in order to\nstem the rate of attrition and increase employee morale.\n\nApproach to Interacting with Spanish-Speaking Workforce\nOperator's transition team has a number of fluent Spanish speakers, including several senior\nmembers who have lived and managed businesses in several different Latin American countries.\nIt is envisioned that these bilingual senior team members should be able to handle most\ninteractions with senior officials, regulators, politicians, or members of the media where\nimportant internal employee messaging in the Spanish language would be more productive.\nOperator anticipates that those meetings could be led by our native-speaking or fluent non-native\nsenior team members as necessary.\nInteracting with the broader Owner employee workforce does represent some potential\nchallenges, but Operator anticipates these can be overcome in several ways. Operator's plan to do\nso will include mandatory internal training sessions for all transition members regarding personal\nand professional manners and expectations, an orientation on Puerto Rico’s history and culture,\nand sensitivity to language issues.\n\nHandover Check List\nOperator's plan to manage the Handover Checklist is to continually maintain a checklist and\nsubmit updates on or before the 10th of every month to the Administrator. These updates will\ninclude reporting checklist items that have been completed, as well as identifying any checklist\nitems that might have emergent issues or problems that need to be escalated for resolution.

The primary critical path\n\nII-35'}, {'number': 204, 'text': "CONFIDENTIAL\nactivities that determine the portion of the Schedule applicable to this process for the T&D\ntransition program are as follows:\n\uf0b7\n\nLogistical requirements to visit and assess the large number of physical sites and assets\nthroughout Puerto Rico;\n\uf0b7 Time required to interview and assess the large Owner employee base currently\nworking for Owner in relation to the T&D System and to reorganize and staff the new\nT&D organization within Operator;\n\uf0b7 Time required to conduct a thorough assessment of all capital and O&M work\nrequirements and to identify, quantify and prioritize improvement initiatives; and\n\uf0b7 Completion of key work products needed to ensure no impact to reliability or resiliency\nafter Service Commencement Date (such as the Emergency Response Plan).\nWithin this section (T&D services), Operator has developed a comprehensive operational\ntakeover plan for all the identified items. Operator's fundamental approach is to assemble its\nteam to finalize the necessary due diligence, identify any gaps, and develop a robust plan to\nensure continuity of service to the business, employees and our customers. The Front-End\nTransition Project Office established by Operator will work to implement controls to deal with\nthe expected large volume of activity occurring from workstream to workstream that will be\nseeking similar information with the goal of reducing the burdens and additional costs this might\notherwise create.\n\nIII.\n\nSystem Remediation Plan Milestones\n\nThe current state of the T&D System as viewed through site visits and our review of information\nin the data room and the Q&A log during the RFP process is that the current T&D System\nconsists of aging infrastructure that has been poorly maintained due to lack of funding and\ninconsistent maintenance practices that are largely undocumented. The control, monitoring and\ninformation equipment is aged, underutilized and in some cases obsolete. Hardware, Information\nSystems and software are underutilized, fragmented and unsupported. Therefore, these systems\nlack the ability to provide the required visibility of the system and implement programs such as\nDistribution Automation (DA), condition monitoring/analytics and situational awareness\nregarding outage management. Strategies to manage assets over their life cycle have not been\ndeveloped. System Planning tools to effectively model the system, which is an industry best\npractice, are not being used due to a lack of confidence in their accuracy.\nOperator's approach to developing the System Remediation Plan will be a collaborative effort\nwith key stakeholders generally but also including the Administrator and Owner. The plan\nshould align with various reports such as the GridMod Plan, the IRP, Sargent & Lundy’s Capital\nPlan, Build Back Better, and the Energy Resiliency Solutions for the Puerto Rico Grid (from the\nDepartment of Energy).\n\nII-36"}, {'number': 205, 'text': 'CONFIDENTIAL\nIV.\nCustomer Service Milestones\nOperator views Customer Service as an integral component in the Operator’s transformation of\nthe T&D System. The Front-End Transition period will be used by Operator to thoroughly assess\nthe existing T&D Customer service organization of Owner, with a focus on customer experience\nquality and operational efficiency. Operator will take the opportunity during the Front-End\nTransition period to help it implement quick "wins" following the Service Commencement Date\nthat will enable T&D Customers to see and feel post-commencement improvements in the\ncustomer experience. These quick "wins" will act as a catalyst for T&D Customer engagement\nand the launch of the Voice of the Customer program.\nIn addition to assessing Owner\'s existing operations and identifying opportunities for\nimprovement, Operator\'s Customer Service group will be fundamentally transforming the\nmanner in which the Operator will deliver the customer experience. Operator will need time to\ncommunicate the changes and train the workforce on how things will be different. It is critically\nimportant to make T&D Customers aware immediately after commencement that a new priority\nhas been established to improve their interactions with the Operator.\nThe primary critical path activities that determine the schedule for the proposed T&D Customer\nservice transition program are as follows:\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\nVisit and assess the large number of physical sites and assets throughout Puerto Rico.\nInterview Owner\'s current T&D Customer service employees to identify key leaders\nwho can implement the transformed customer service vision and reorganize and staff\nthe new organization as required.\nWork to instill the culture and values of the transformed T&D Customer Service\ngroup throughout the workforce.\nEnsure a consistent message is communicated to T&D Customers beginning on the\nfirst day of Service Commencement Date.\n\nV.\nInformation Technology (IT)/Operation Technology (OT) Systems\nThe scope and schedule of Operator\'s IT group are driven by the need to begin defining new\nrequirements for a large number of critical systems and processes. These new systems and\nprocesses will represent a massive degree of change in how every employee performs his or her\ndaily job.\nThis level of change requires a structured, well-defined multi-year time frame for\nimplementation. The primary critical path activities that determine the schedule for the IT\ntransition program are as follows:\n\uf0b7\n\nA comprehensive assessment and due diligence review of over 15 major systems, which\nbegins on immediately on commencement of the Front-End Transition Services and\n\nII-37'}, {'number': 206, 'text': "CONFIDENTIAL\n\n\uf0b7\n\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\nincludes each team (including Owner's and Administrator's) running full out for the first\nthree months following start of the Front-End Transition Services.\nA high degree of coordination between the IT team and other functional area teams (both\nwithin Operator and by Owner and Administrator's teams as well) to ensure the future\nowners of these new systems within Operator have the chance to fully define their\nrequirements.\nA thorough workforce assessment to identify any skill gaps that must be addressed to\nmeet the organization’s strategic objectives.\nA concentrated focus on the large number of system cutovers that will be required to\nsupport the transfer after commencement. It is essential that these cutovers be well\nplanned and executed.\n\nVI.\nFinancial Management Milestones\nThe Financial Management group’s scope and schedule are driven by assessing and improving\nrisk management, the internal control environment and underlying business processes. This is\ncritical to setting the overall financial foundation, evaluating the integrity of the financial\ncompilation and reporting processes, mitigation of fraud and other risks, and the transition,\ndesign and implementation of the capital and operating budgets for the organization.\nThe primary critical path activities that determine the schedule are as follows:\n\uf0b7\n\nRedesign the budgeting process and have each functional team restructure its operational\nareas and adjust staffing size. Roll these inputs into a new approved budget, including the\nInitial Budgets;\n\uf0b7 Beginning immediately on commencement of the Front-End Transition Services and\nrunning full-out for the first three months, perform a comprehensive assessment and due\ndiligence review of all major systems; and\n\uf0b7 Recognize the high degree of coordination that will be required from the IT team and the\nother functional area teams (both within Operator and by Owner and Administrator's\nteams as well) to ensure that owners of these new systems within Operator have the\nchance to fully define their requirements.\nThe Operator’s approach to financial management during the front-end transition will continue to\nevolve as we gain a deeper understanding of Owner’s administrative and operational routines.\nOur efforts will be focused on understanding and evaluating Owner’s:\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\nSignificant financial risks;\nManagement and operational reporting;\nRegulatory reporting and compliance requirements;\nBusiness processes; and\nResources for matters that could affect the seamless transition of services at\ncommencement.\n\nII-38"}, {'number': 207, 'text': "CONFIDENTIAL\nOur plan will leverage current Owner management and financial personnel to analyze the\nexisting state of department processing and output, transition risks and stakeholder needs\n(customers, operations, regulators) in the following major areas:\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\uf0b7\n\nAll significant financial statement accounts and assertions;\nAll significant accounting and reporting processes, including:\nCash management and controls;\nPayroll and benefits;\nTransaction processing;\nFixed asset management;\nJob costing for projects;\nDebt/credit management;\nAccounting close;\nManagement; and\nRegulatory reporting\n\nVII. FEMA Funds and Federal Funding Procurement Manual\nOperator will engage and be working with IEM (as its Subcontractor) to deal with federal funds\nmanagement. The Operator’s first step following commencement of the Front-End Transition\nServices is to ensure a proper governance framework is established before it can manage a longterm recovery using federal funding on behalf of the Owner. The IEM team is best suited to\nensure that the Operator is operating under a federal funds management framework with an\neffective procurement policy that is inclusive of all federal, territorial, and COR3 requirements\nthat also emphasizes performance. Further, IEM’s own monitoring and internal controls included\nin the newly created Owner Disaster Recovery Federal Funds Management Guide (Operator\nDRFFMG) will ensure that the procurement policy is not merely aspirational but in fact is used\nfor procurement and for the management and monitoring of the Operator’s contractors.\nVIII.

Upon\ncompletion of asset identification, the Operator, by performing due diligence in each functional\narea, plans on identifying and documenting these assets (with the assistance and reliance on\nOwner for appropriate information) and develop a detailed plan and recommendation for\nsecuring them. The plan will be submitted to the Owner and Administrator for review and\napproval as required by the Agreement. Operator will coordinate with the Owner on executing\nthe approved plan. The completion of the Front-End Transition Services is dependent on timely\nalignment between the Operator and each of the Administrator and the Owner on the assets\nrequired to run the operation.\nUpon completion of the identification and assumption of responsibility for Owner's existing\ncontracts, including System Contracts and subcontracts, the Operator will work to evaluate\nOwner's identified contractors, subcontractors and vendors and perform outreach and evaluation.\nOperator will work with Owner and the applicable Operator functional areas to determine which\ncontracts and subcontracts should be continued and assumed by the Operator or provided by\nother means. The Operator's procurement team will develop a plan and recommendation for\nassuming responsibilities for Owner's existing contracts and subcontracts and submit the plan for\nOwner and Administrator review and approval as required by the Agreement.

For this\npurpose, one or more Performance Metrics shall be associated with each Performance Category.\nB.\nFor all Performance Categories the Operator performance shall be determined by\nthe level of achievement of the Performance Objective for each Performance Metric under a\nPerformance Category as described in Section V. Such level of achievement will determine the\nportion of the allocated Incentive Compensation Pool earned by the Operator as described in\nAnnex X (Calculation of Incentive Fee).\nC.\nEach Performance Metric will have an assigned point weighting (“Base Points”).\nFor all Performance Metrics except for the Binary Metrics as described in Section III(D), a baseline\nperformance level will be established prior to the beginning of the first Contract Year (the\n“Baseline Performance Level”). The Baseline Performance Level will be based on either historical\noperating data confirmed during the Front-End Transition Period, performance during the FrontEnd Transition Period, or through independent analysis. The initial baseline levels will be agreed\nupon by the Operator and PREB in the manner set forth in the main body of the Agreement. The\nBaseline Performance Level sets the starting point for each metric relative to the target\nperformance level to be achieved in the fifth Contract Year (the “Target Performance Level”). The\nbaseline target over the initial five-year period is determined by a straight line between the Baseline\nPerformance Level and the Target Performance Level. The Minimum Performance Level set for\neach Performance Metric establishes the value that must be exceeded to qualify for Base Points\nand is established as the straight line between the Baseline Performance Level and achieving the\nTarget Performance Level in the tenth Contract Year. In Contract Years where the Minimum\nPerformance Level is exceeded, the Operator has the ability of earning 25%, 50%, 100%, 125%\nor 150% (the “Base Point Multipliers”) of the Base Points depending on the metric result relative\nto the established baseline for the Contract Year. That is, for a result between the Minimum\nPerformance Level and the 25% tier, the Operator would receive points equal to 25% of the Base\nPoints, for a result between the 25% threshold and the 50% threshold, the Operator would receive\npoints equal to 50% of the Base Points, etc.\nPerformance ranges for determination of Base Points earned shall be based on achieving\nperformance improvement from the Baseline Performance Level to the Target Performance Level\nover the initial five-year period.\n\nIX-2'}, {'number': 228, 'text': 'CONFIDENTIAL\nChart 1.

Section 141 of the Code, in part, provides that a private activity bond\nis an obligation issued as part of an issue that meets the private business tests. Under the private\nbusiness tests, bonds are treated as private activity bonds if the issue of which those bonds are a\npart satisfy both the private business use test and the private security or payment test. The private\nbusiness use test is met if more than 10 percent of the proceeds of an issue are used in the trade or\nbusiness of a nongovernmental person (“private business use”). Under Treasury regulation section\n1.141-3, private business use can result from the use of the facilities financed by the issue,\nincluding as a result of a lease of such property to a nongovernmental person or a management\ncontract with respect to such property.

The regulations provide that a management contract with respect to financed\nproperty generally results in private business use of that property if the contract provides for\ncompensation for services rendered with compensation based, in whole or in part, on a share of\nnet profits from the operation of the facility, or if the service provider is treated as the lessee or\nowner of financed property for federal income tax purposes.\nTreasury regulation section 1.141-3 defines a management contract as a management,\nservice, or incentive payment contract between a governmental person and a service provider\nunder which the service provider provides services involving all, a portion of, or any function of,\na facility. For example, a contract for the provision of management services for an entire hospital,\na contract for management services for a specific department of a hospital, and an incentive\npayment contract for physician services to patients of a hospital are each treated as a management\ncontract.\nIn Revenue Procedure 2017-13 (the “Revenue Procedure”) the Internal Revenue Service\nprovided a safe harbor under which a management contract can be treated as not resulting in private\nbusiness use. The Revenue Procedure refers to the governmental owner of the related facilities as\nthe “qualified user” and the manager or operator as the “service provider.” Under the Revenue\nProcedure, a management contract that satisfies the following conditions will not be treated as\nresulting in private business use:\n(1) The payments to the service provider under the contract must be reasonable\ncompensation for services rendered during the term of the contract. “Compensation”\nincludes payments to reimburse actual and direct expenses paid by the service provider\nand related administrative overhead expenses of the service provider.\n(2) The contract must not provide to the service provider a share of net profits from the\noperation of the managed property. Compensation to the service provider will not be\ntreated as providing a share of net profits if no element of the compensation takes into\naccount, or is contingent upon, either the managed property’s net profits or both the\nmanaged property’s revenues and expenses (other than any reimbursements of direct\nand actual expenses paid by the service provider to unrelated third parties) for any fiscal\nperiod. For this purpose, the elements of the compensation are the eligibility for, the\namount of, and the timing of the payment of the compensation. Incentive compensation\nis not treated as providing a share of net profits if eligibility is determined by the service\nprovider’s performance in meeting one or more standards that measure quality of\nservices, performance or productivity.\n(3) The contract must not, in substance, impose upon the service provider the burden of\nbearing any share of net losses from the operation of the managed property.\n(4) The term of the contract, as of the beginning of the term of the contract, including all\nrenewal options must not be greater than the lesser of 30 years or 80 percent of the\nweighted average reasonably expected economic life of the managed property.\n\nF-1-3'}, {'number': 293, 'text': 'CONFIDENTIAL\n(5) The qualified user must exercise a significant degree of control over the use of the\nmanaged property.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,\nthe Operator will provide operation and management services relating to the Authority’s\ntransmission and distribution system (the “T&D System”). In addition, pursuant to the Puerto Rico\nTransmission and Distribution System Supplemental Terms Agreement dated as of ____, 2020\n(the “Supplemental Agreement”) by and among the Parties, the Operator is commencing the O&M\nServices as of the date hereof, although the Service Commencement Date has not occurred. The\nAuthority, its Affiliates, and other Governmental Bodies currently have outstanding obligations\nthe interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes (the “Existing\nBonds”). On the date of issuance of each of the bond issues comprising the Existing Bonds, the\nrespective bond counsel for each such issuance delivered an opinion (each an “Approving\nOpinion”) that interest on the related Existing Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal\nincome tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Capitalized\nterms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.\nThis opinion is being delivered in accordance with Section 2.3(f) of the Supplemental\nAgreement.\nIn rendering the opinion set forth herein, we have reviewed (i) the Agreement, including\nthe exhibits thereto, (ii) the Supplemental Agreement, (iii) the System Contracts in effect as of the\ndate hereof, (iv) the opinion of Sargent and Lundy or another nationally recognized engineering\nfirm acceptable to the Parties, dated ____, 202_, which sets forth, among other things, the\nreasonably expected weighted average economic life of the T&D System, and (v) such other\nopinions, certificates and documents as have been provided to us by the Authority and others in\nconnection with the Agreement. We have also relied upon the facts set forth in the representations\nmade by the Parties to the Agreement and such other documents and opinions to the extent we\ndeemed necessary to render the opinions set forth herein. We have not undertaken an independent\naudit or investigation of the matters set forth in any of the foregoing and our opinion assumes the\naccuracy of the information and any conclusions set forth therein and compliance with any\ncovenants and directions set forth in said documents, including the Agreement.\n\nA-1'}, {'number': 331, 'text': 'CONFIDENTIAL\nIn addition, the Code and the Revenue Procedure (as defined below), impose certain\nrequirements that must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Existing Bonds and\nsubsequent to the execution of the Agreement for interest on the Existing Bonds thereon to be and\nremain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Noncompliance with such\nrequirements could cause the interest on the Existing Bonds to be included in gross income for\nfederal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issue of each issue of the Existing Bonds.\nSection 103 of the Code provides generally that interest on a “private activity bond” is not\nexcluded from gross income. Section 141 of the Code, in part, provides that a private activity bond\nis an obligation issued as part of an issue that meets the private business tests. Under the private\nbusiness tests, bonds are treated as private activity bonds if the issue of which those bonds are a\npart satisfy both the private business use test and the private security or payment test. The private\nbusiness use test is met if more than 10 percent of the proceeds of an issue are used in the trade or\nbusiness of a nongovernmental person (“private business use”). Under Treasury regulation section\n1.141-3, private business use can result from the use of the facilities financed by the issue,\nincluding as a result of a lease of such property to a nongovernmental person or a management\ncontract with respect to such property. The private security or payment test is generally met if the\npayment of the principal of, or the interest on, more than 10 percent of the proceeds of an issue is\n(under the terms of such issue or any underlying arrangement) directly or indirectly: (A) secured\nby any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use, or payments in respect of\nsuch property, or (B) to be derived from payments (whether or not to the issuer) in respect of\nproperty, or borrowed money, used or to be used for a private business use.\nUnder Treasury regulation section 1.141-3(b)(4), a management contract with respect to\nfinanced property may result in private business use of that property, based on all of the facts and\ncircumstances. The regulations provide that a management contract with respect to financed\nproperty generally results in private business use of that property if the contract provides for\ncompensation for services rendered with compensation based, in whole or in part, on a share of\nnet profits from the operation of the facility, or if the service provider is treated as the lessee or\nowner of financed property for federal income tax purposes.\nTreasury regulation section 1.141-3 defines a management contract as a management,\nservice, or incentive payment contract between a governmental person and a service provider\nunder which the service provider provides services involving all, a portion of, or any function of,\na facility. For example, a contract for the provision of management services for an entire hospital,\na contract for management services for a specific department of a hospital, and an incentive\npayment contract for physician services to patients of a hospital are each treated as a management\ncontract.\nIn Revenue Procedure 2017-13 (the “Revenue Procedure”) the Internal Revenue Service\nprovided a safe harbor under which a management contract can be treated as not resulting in private\nbusiness use. The Revenue Procedure refers to the governmental owner of the related facilities as\nthe “qualified user” and the manager or operator as the “service provider.” Under the Revenue\nProcedure, a management contract that satisfies the following conditions will not be treated as\nresulting in private business use:\n\nA-2'}, {'number': 332, 'text': 'CONFIDENTIAL\n(1) The payments to the service provider under the contract must be reasonable\ncompensation for services rendered during the term of the contract. “Compensation”\nincludes payments to reimburse actual and direct expenses paid by the service provider\nand related administrative overhead expenses of the service provider.\n(2) The contract must not provide to the service provider a share of net profits from the\noperation of the managed property. Compensation to the service provider will not be\ntreated as providing a share of net profits if no element of the compensation takes into\naccount, or is contingent upon, either the managed property’s net profits or both the\nmanaged property’s revenues and expenses (other than any reimbursements of direct\nand actual expenses paid by the service provider to unrelated third parties) for any fiscal\nperiod. For this purpose, the elements of the compensation are the eligibility for, the\namount of, and the timing of the payment of the compensation. Incentive compensation\nis not treated as providing a share of net profits if eligibility is determined by the service\nprovider’s performance in meeting one or more standards that measure quality of\nservices, performance or productivity.\n(3) The contract must not, in substance, impose upon the service provider the burden of\nbearing any share of net losses from the operation of the managed property.\n(4) The term of the contract, as of the beginning of the term of the contract, including all\nrenewal options must not be greater than the lesser of 30 years or 80 percent of the\nweighted average reasonably expected economic life of the managed property.\n(5) The qualified user must exercise a significant degree of control over the use of the\nmanaged property. This control requirement is met if the contract requires the qualified\nuser to approve the annual budget of the managed property, capital expenditures with\nrespect to the managed property, each disposition of property that is part of the\nmanaged property, rates charged for the use of the managed property, and the general\nnature and type of use of the managed property (for example, the type of services).\n(6) The qualified user must bear the risk of loss upon damage or destruction of the managed\nproperty (for example, due to force majeure).\n(7) The service provider must agree that it is not entitled to and will not take any tax\nposition that is inconsistent with being a service provider to the qualified user with\nrespect to the managed property. For example, the service provider must agree not to\nclaim any depreciation or amortization deduction, investment tax credit, or deduction\nfor any payment as rent with respect to the managed property.\n(8) The service provider must not have any role or relationship with the qualified user that,\nin effect, substantially limits the qualified user’s ability to exercise its rights under the\ncontract, based on all the facts and circumstances. A service provider will not be treated\nas having a role or relationship prohibited by this provision if: (a) no more than 20\npercent of the voting power of the governing body of the qualified user is vested in the\ndirectors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, and employees of the service\nprovider, in the aggregate; (b) the governing body of the qualified user does not include\n\nA-3'}, {'number': 333, 'text': 'CONFIDENTIAL\nthe chief executive officer of the service provider or the chairperson (or equivalent\nexecutive) of the service provider’s governing body; and (c) the chief executive officer\nof the service provider is not the chief executive officer of the qualified user or any of\nthe qualified user’s related parties.\nBased upon our review of the foregoing documents, and assuming the accuracy of the\ninformation and certifications, and compliance with the covenants, representations, and directions\nset forth therein, and assuming compliance with the terms of the Supplemental Agreement, we are\nof the opinion that neither the Supplemental Agreement nor any provision thereof, nor the\nperformance by each Party to the Supplemental Agreement of its respective obligations thereunder\n(including Operator’s administration of the System Contracts), adversely affects the exclusion\nfrom gross income of interest on the Existing Bonds of the Authority, its Affiliates or another\nGovernmental Body for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code.\nThis opinion is limited to the specific matter addressed herein and shall not be construed\nas confirming or restating the Approving Opinions.
