16. NON-DISCLOSURE

16.1 Non-Disclosure by Consultant:

a. Consultant agrees that during the term of this Purchase Order and for a period of six (6) years from termination or expiration of the Purchase Order, it will hold the Confidential Information in confidence and it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person (including any Affiliate of Edison) without the prior written consent of Edison. Confidential Information may be disclosed only to those employees and agents of Consultant who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of performing the Work, are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and are directed not to disclose or use the Confidential Information in violation of this Section 16.1.

b. Consultant agrees that it will not use any of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than performing the Work.

c. In connection with this Purchase Order, Consultant and its directors, officers, employees, agents and other associated persons may from time to time learn material nonpublic information concerning Edison or other companies. State and federal securities laws prohibit trading in the securities of such companies while in the possession of such material non public information and also prohibit the communication of such information to others. Consultant agrees not to trade in the securities of Edison or other companies about which it has learned material nonpublic information in connection with this Purchase Order and not to communicate such information to others in violation of these laws. Consultant shall take reasonable precautions to ensure that its directors, officers, employees, agents and other associated persons do not violate such laws.

d. Consultant will be responsible for any breach of this Section 16.1 by its employees or agents. Consultant shall, at its own expense, take all steps, including the initiation and prosecution of actions at law or in equity, necessary to prevent or halt the unauthorized use or disclosure of any of the Confidential Information by any of its employees or agents or by any other person who obtained the Confidential Information from Consultant in violation of this Section 16.1.

e. The obligations herein not to disclose or use Confidential Information shall not apply to any Confidential Information which (a) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of disclosure by Consultant, (b) was known to Consultant prior to disclosure by Edison, as evidenced by written records, provided that the source of such information was not bound by an obligation of nondisclosure to Edison, or (c) was independently developed by Consultant, as evidenced by written records.

f. At any time upon request of Edison, all Confidential Information in tangible form, including all copies or parts thereof, shall be returned to Edison or destroyed, except that Consultant may retain one copy of any materials prepared by Consultant containing or reflecting Confidential Information if necessary for compliance with its internal record-keeping or quality assurance requirements only. If destroyed, such destruction shall be certified in writing by Consultant.

g. In the event that Consultant is required by law or regulatory authority or otherwise becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Consultant will provide Edison with prompt written notice so that Edison may seek (with Consultant's cooperation, if requested by Edison) a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Edison waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 16.1, Consultant will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and will exercise its best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

h. Consultant recognizes and acknowledges the irreparable damage which would result to Edison if this Section 16.1 were breached. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available, Edison shall be entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance if Consultant breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Section 16.1, without proof of actual damages. Consultant waives any requirement of a bond in connection with such remedy.

16.2 Non-Disclosure by Edison: Consultant shall not include in any Documentation any information that Consultant claims to be proprietary or confidential to Consultant without the prior written consent of the Edison Representative unless specifically required by the Purchase Order. Thereafter, if Edison accepts the inclusion of such proprietary or confidential information, Edison shall make reasonable efforts, to the extent allowed by law, to keep in confidence and not to disclose to any third party, without the prior written consent of Consultant, the confidential or proprietary information of Consultant which is or has been disclosed to Edison in a drawing or other document which has been clearly marked by Consultant to be confidential or proprietary.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 16.2, or any confidential or proprietary markings placed on documents by Consultant, Edison shall not be prohibited from disclosing to third parties information which is required to repair, replace, add to, or maintain the items acquired by Edison pursuant to this Purchase Order, so long as Edison secures the agreement of the third party in writing to use the information for only such purposes and to otherwise restrict disclosure as provided above.

16.3 Non-Disclosure of Transmission System Information: Consultant shall not disclose any transmission system information (including, but not limited to information about available transmission capability, price, curtailments, storage, ancillary services, balancing, maintenance activity, capacity expansion plans or similar information) to any Edison Energy Supply & Marketing Department personnel, to the extent such disclosure may be prohibited by the FERC Standards of Conduct.

17. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

17.1 Documentation: Title to the Documentation, including copyright ownership in the Documentation, shall pass to Edison when prepared; however, a copy may be retained by Consultant for its records and internal use. Consultant shall retain such Documentation in a controlled access file, and shall not reveal, display or disclose the contents of the Documentation to others without the prior written authorization of Edison.

If, in connection with any such Claim, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction be granted, Consultant shall put up a satisfactory bond to permit Edison's continued use of the Work and Documentation. The remedies provided in this Section 19.4 shall not limit the indemnification obligations in Section 19.3.

19.5 Edison shall cooperate reasonably with Consultant, at Consultant's sole cost and expense, in any defense of such Claims, actions and proceedings.

20. COMPUTING SYSTEM ACCESS AND SECURITY REVIEW OBLIGATIONS

20.1 Computing System Access

20.1.1 If Edison determines in its sole discretion that, in order for Consultant to perform the Work, Consultant may require access to Edison's communications and computing systems, which include, but are not limited to, computers, servers, applications, files, electronic mail, electronic equipment, wireless devices, data resources, and Edison-sponsored connections to the Internet communications network (collectively, "Computing Systems"), then Edison shall grant Consultant access to such Computing Systems, provided that such access shall be subject to the conditions herein provided. Edison authorizes Consultant to access the Computing Systems only for the purpose of Consultant performing the Work in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order. In the event Consultant was previously granted access, or is granted access, to Edison's Computing Systems, Consultant represents, warrants and covenants that (i) if applicable, it has accessed such Computing Systems only as required to perform the Work and in compliance with the requirements set forth in these Computing System Access and Security Review Obligations, and (ii) it shall only access such Computing Systems as required to perform the Work in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order.

20.1.2 Consultant shall promptly identify in writing to Edison those Consultant employees, Subcontractors and agents who will, in order to perform the Work, require access to such Computing Systems, and Edison shall, upon receipt by Edison Information Security of the appropriate request forms from Consultant, issue appropriate computer and for e-mail accounts, passwords and access authorizations to Consultant and such personnel. When a Consultant's or its Subcontractors' employee or agent with Computing Systems access is reassigned to non-Edison work, is no longer employed by Consultant or Subcontractor, Consultant shall immediately notify the Edison Representative and Edison Information Security verbally that such personnel will no longer be performing any of the Work and Edison may immediately delete Computing System access for such employee or agent. Consultant shall confirm such verbal notification in writing to the Edison Representative, or designee, and to Edison Information Security within twenty-four (24) hours of the verbal notification. Upon delivery of such notice to the Edison Representative and Edison Information Security, Consultant shall immediately deliver to Edison Information Security all Edison-owned Computing Systems equipment that may have been issued or loaned to such re-assigned or terminated Consultant or Subcontractor employee.

20.1.3 Consultant shall comply, and shall cause its employees, Subcontractors, agents, and any other person whom Consultant allows to access the Computing Systems to comply, with all Edison policies and procedures in regards to such access. Consultant shall ensure that the Computing Systems, any user accounts, passwords or any other access authorizations, and all Edison information and data contained in the Computing Systems, remain secure during Consultant access and that the Computing Systems and all information and data retrieved during such access remain confidential, secure and protected from disclosure to unauthorized parties.

20.1.4 Consultant shall be responsible for any breach of these Computing System Access and Security Review Obligations by its employees, Subcontractors or agents, or by any other person who obtained access to the Computing Systems from Consultant in violation of these Computing System Access and Security Review Obligations, and Consultant shall notify Edison immediately in the event Consultant has reason to know or suspect that a breach of these Computing System Access and Security Review Obligations has occurred. Consultant shall, at its own cost, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Edison and its Affiliates and all officers, agents, employees, assigns, and successors in interest of Edison and its Affiliates, from and against any and all liability, damages, losses, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, costs, including attorney's fees (which shall include allocable costs of in-house counsel) and expenses or any of them, resulting from the breach of these Computing System Access and Security Review Obligations by Consultant, Subcontractors, and employees, officers and agents of either Consultant, or Subcontractors, or any of them. In the event Edison determines that Consultant or any of its employees, Subcontractors or agents has breached these Computing System Access and Security Review Obligations, Edison may immediately revoke or terminate Consultant's or its Subcontractors' access to Edison Computing Systems; provided, however, that such revocation or termination shall not relieve Consultant of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing right to revoke or terminate Consultant's access to Edison's Computing Systems, Edison may exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy that may be available to it under applicable law or under the Purchase Order, including termination of the Purchase Order.

20.1.5 Consultant shall execute, and shall cause its employees, Subcontractors and agents to execute, any documents Edison may deem reasonably necessary to ensure Consultant's compliance with these Computing System Access and Security Review Obligations.

Edison or its authorized representative shall have the right at any time to examine Consultant's and its Subcontractors' and agents' records and reports relating to their respective security policies, practices and procedures, including without limitation any internal, external or regulatory audit reports or reviews relating to the security of Consultant's or its Subcontractors' or agents' computing systems, and their compliance therewith, and Consultant represents and warrants that it has the authority to grant Edison or its authorized representatives such access to its Subcontractors' and agents' records and reports.

21. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH & SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

The attached "Southern California Edison ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH & SAFETY HANDBOOK FOR CONTRACTORS", dated February 1, 2002, is hereby incorporated by reference into this Purchase Order. Consultant shall immediately notify the Edison Representative and the procurement agent (identified in the Purchase Order heading) if Consultant is unable to meet ANY of the requirements set forth therein. Edison may cancel this Purchase Order if Consultant fails to meet the requirements set forth in this attachment. Such cancellation shall not be deemed a termination under the termination provisions of the General Terms and Conditions of this Purchase Order.

22. TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION

22.1 Termination for Convenience: Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Purchase Order, Edison shall have the unilateral right to terminate the Work, or any portion thereof, or the Purchase Order by the issuance of a Change Order, which shall not require Consultant's acceptance.

Subject to the provisions of Section 22.3 hereof, Edison shall pay Consultant the termination charges set forth in the Purchase Order pro-rated to the effective date of termination. If termination charges are not set forth in the Purchase Order, Edison shall: (i) for time and material, multiplier method, or cost reimbursable Work set forth in the Purchase Order, complete the payments for all Work accepted by Edison; or (ii) for fixed price Work set forth in the Purchase Order, negotiate an equitable payment for the portion of the Work accepted by Edison. Edison, at its option, may take possession of any Material paid for by Edison. The provisions of this Section 22.1 shall be Consultant's sole remedy resulting from such termination.

Any cancellation pursuant to this Section 22.2 shall not be deemed a "termination" for the purposes of Section 22.1 hereof.

In the event of such cancellation, Consultant shall immediately stop Work and surrender to Edison's possession, complete and incomplete Documentation and other Information, Material, control and use of the Jobsite and all Consultant and Edison-owned equipment, facilities, and all other items which Edison may deem necessary or appropriate until the Work is completed. Consultant shall assign to Edison the outstanding subcontracts and purchase orders as requested by the Edison Representative for such completion. Edison shall have the right to provide, or contract for, all additional labor, Material, and any other items which it may deem necessary to complete the Work.

If the total of all expenses incurred by Edison to complete the Work is greater than the sum which would have been payable under the Purchase Order if Consultant had completed the Work, the difference shall constitute a claim against Consultant. Such claim shall be due and payable within ten working days after presentation of the claim. Additionally, Edison shall have the right to pursue other remedies afforded by law.

22.3 Delivery of Materials: Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Sections 16.1 and 22.2 hereof, upon receipt of notice of termination or cancellation under this Section 22, Consultant shall immediately deliver to Edison all complete and incomplete Documentation and all Material. If, at the time of termination or cancellation further sums are due Consultant, Consultant shall not be entitled to the sums until all Documentation and all Material required to be delivered to Edison are delivered.

Additional Work shall be performed in compliance with the terms of the Purchase Order.
