Seller’s financial records, including its system of internal controls over financial reporting; provided that Hawaiian Electric shall be responsible for all costs associated with the foregoing, including but not limited to Seller’s reasonable internal costs.

(b)If there is a change in circumstances during the Term that would trigger consolidation of Seller’s finances on to Hawaiian Electric’s balance sheet, and such consolidation is not attributable to Hawaiian Electric’s fault, then the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, including modification of the Contract, to eliminate the consolidation, while preserving the economic “benefit of the bargain” to both

Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason, at any time during the Term, Hawaiian Electric (and/or Hawaiian Electric’s Affiliates or HEI) in their good faith analysis and sole discretion are required to consolidate Seller into its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, then Hawaiian Electric may take any and all action necessary to eliminate consolidation, including without limitation, by immediately terminating this Contract without fault or liability.

(c)If there is a change in circumstances during the Term that would trigger the treatment of this Contract as a capital lease under FASB ASC 840, and such treatment is not attributable to Hawaiian Electric’s fault, then the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, including modification of the Contract, to eliminate the capital lease treatment, while preserving the economic “benefit of the bargain” to both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason, at any time during the Term, Hawaiian Electric (and/or Hawaiian Electric’s Affiliates, or HEI) in their good faith analysis and sole discretion are required to treat this Contract as a capital lease under FASB ASC 840, then Hawaiian Electric may take any and all action necessary to eliminate this capital lease treatment, including without limitation, by immediately terminating this Contract without fault or liability.

If either Hawaiian Electric or HEI, in the exercise of their respective reasonable judgments, concludes that consolidation or financial reporting with respect to Seller and/or this Contract is necessary, Hawaiian Electric and HEI each shall have the right to disclose such of the Information as Hawaiian Electric or HEI, as applicable, reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy applicable disclosure and reporting or other requirements and give Seller prompt written notice thereof (in advance to the extent practicable under the circumstances). If Hawaiian Electric or HEI disclose Information pursuant to the preceding sentence, Hawaiian Electric and HEI shall, without limitation to the generality of the preceding sentence, have the right to disclose Information to the Commission and the Consumer Advocate in connection with the Commission’s rate making activities for Hawaiian Electric and other HEI affiliated entities, provided that, if the scope or content of the Information to be disclosed to the Commission exceeds or is more detailed than that disclosed pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Information will not be disclosed until the Commission first issues a protective order to protect the confidentiality of such Information. Neither Hawaiian Electric nor HEI shall use the Information for any purpose other than as permitted under this Section 17.10.

(e)In circumstances other than those addressed in the immediately preceding paragraph, if any Recipient becomes legally compelled under applicable Law or by legal process (e.g., deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose all or a portion of the Information, such Recipient shall undertake reasonable efforts to provide Seller with prompt notice of such legal requirement prior to disclosure so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section 17.10. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if Seller waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 17.10, Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Information which it is legally required to so furnish and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any disclosed material.

(f)The obligation of nondisclosure and restricted use imposed on each Recipient under this Section 17.10 shall not extend to any portion(s) of the Information which (a) was known to such Recipient prior to receipt, or (b) without the fault of such Recipient is available or becomes available to the general public, or (c) is received by such Recipient from a third party not bound by an obligation or duty of confidentiality.

If any action is taken or threatened by any Governmental Authority to declare the usage herein granted to either Party a public use, then and in that event, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to restructure and restate the Contract provided that such restructuring and restatement does not increase the charges that Hawaiian Electric is obligated to pay hereunder.
