COST OF CAPITAL. Holdco commits that future cost of service and rates of KCP&L and Westar shall not be adversely impacted on an overall basis as a result of the Merger and that future cost of service and rates will be set commensurate with financial and business risks attendant to their individual regulated utility operations. Neither KCP&L nor Westar shall seek an increase to their cost of capital as a result of (i.e., arising from or related to) the Merger or KCP&L’s and Westar’s ongoing affiliation with Holdco and its affiliates after the Merger. The return on equity capital (“XXX”) as reflected in Westar’s and KCP&L’s rates will not be adversely affected as a result of the Merger. Holdco agrees the XXX shall be determined in future rate cases, consistent with applicable law, regulations and practices of the Commission. The burden of proof that any increase to the cost of capital is not a result of the Merger shall be borne by KCP&L or Westar. Any net increase in the cost of capital that KCP&L or Westar seeks shall be supported by documentation that: (a) the increases are a result of factors not associated with the Merger or the post-Merger operations of Holdco or its non- KCP&L and non-Westar affiliates; (b) the increases are not a result of changes in business, market, economic or other conditions caused by the Merger or the post-Merger operations of Holdco or its non-KCP&L and non-Westar affiliates; and (c) the increases are not a result of changes in the risk profile of KCP&L or Westar caused by the Merger or the post-Merger operations of Holdco or its non-KCP&L and non-Westar affiliates. The provisions of this section are intended to recognize the Commission’s authority to consider, in appropriate proceedings, whether this Merger or the post-Merger operations of Holdco or its non-KCP&L and non-Westar affiliates have resulted in capital cost increases for KCP&L or Westar. Nothing in this condition shall restrict the Commission from disallowing such capital cost increases from recovery in KCP&L or Westar’s rates.
