fiftieth (50th) anniversary of the Commercial Operation Date (such period being
the "Initial Term"), the Management Committee shall meet to determine whether to
continue the operation of the Facility or to dissolve the Company and trigger
the Windup Events.

          (a)  In the event the Management Committee decides to dissolve the
Company and trigger the Windup Events, on and after the date of this decision,
the Company shall continue its existence only for such purpose until the
completion of the Windup Events, at which time the Termination Date will be
deemed to have occurred.

          (b)  In the event the Management Committee does not agree upon a
course of action before the date that is six (6) months prior to the end of the
Initial Term, either Member shall have the right to acquire all (but not less
than all) of the Ownership Interest of the other Member at a Purchase Price
equal to Fair Market Value of such Ownership Interest, as determined in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 22.17.  The Member desiring
to acquire all of the Ownership Interest of the other Member must submit its
Offer to the other Member prior to the end of the Initial Term.  If no Offer is
submitted prior to the end of the Initial Term, then, unless either Member
timely initiates the Windup Events under Section 2.9(d), the Members will be
deemed to have decided to continue the operation of the Facility, and the Term
of the Company will continue for an Extension Term.

          (c)  In the event that each Member wishes to purchase the other
Member's Ownership Interest at the end of the Initial Term or the Extension Term
then in effect, then the Members will be deemed to have decided to continue the
operation of the Facility, and the Term

-5-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of the Company will continue for an additional period of five (5) years
("Extension Term") commencing on the next day after the last day of the Initial
Term or the previous Extension Term and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary
thereof.  No later than one (1) year before the end of any Extension Term then
in effect, the Management Committee shall again meet to determine whether to
continue the operation of the Facility or whether to dissolve the Company and
trigger the Windup Events.  In the event the Management Committee does not agree
upon a course of action before the date that is six (6) months prior to the end
of the Extension Term then in effect, the procedures described in Section 2.9(b)
shall again be applicable with respect to each subsequent Extension Term.

          (d)  In the event that by the end of the Initial Term or the Extension
Term then in effect (if applicable), the Management Committee has not agreed on
a course of action and neither Member has exercised its right to purchase the
Ownership Interest of the other Member, then, within six (6) months after the
end of the Initial Term or the previous Extension Term (as applicable), either
Member may initiate the Windup Events and this Agreement shall thereafter remain
in effect only for the purpose of dissolving the Company and undertaking the
Windup Events and, upon completion thereof, the Termination Date will be deemed
to have occurred.  Any failure by the Management Committee to agree on a course
of action under this Section 2.9 shall not constitute a Dispute or Controversy.

          (e)  The existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall
continue until the cancellation of the Company's Certificate of Formation in the
manner required by the Delaware Act.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                    3.2.2.  In-Kind Contributions

.  On the Contribution Date (as defined below), each Member contributed, or
caused its Affiliate to contribute on its behalf, to the Company the respective
assets and properties identified on Appendix B.  All such assets and properties
were contributed with warranties of title by, through or under the contributing
Member, but not otherwise, free and clear of any and all liens or security
interests or other claims by third parties, and any and all additional
Encumbrances which could adversely affect the Company's ability, in keeping with
the Operating Standards, to incorporate into, or use such asset or property in
connection with, the Project.  Upon such contribution, there was added to the
Capital Account of each respective Member an amount equal to the sum of all
Third Party Expenses incurred by the contributing Member in acquiring each such
asset, as approved by the Management Committee, and the Members agreed that such
an amount was the Fair Market Value as of the date of contribution of each such
asset.  Each Member shall keep accurate and complete records of all Third Party
Expenses incurred by it or its Affiliates in acquiring assets that are
contributed to the Company and, to assist the Management Committee in
determining the amount to be added to the contributing Member's Capital Account
with respect to each contributed asset, each Member shall provide such
documentation of its expenses as the Management Committee may request.  The
Members agree that the aggregate Third Party Expenses incurred as of January 31,
2000 by each Member in acquiring the assets identified on Exhibit B to be
contributed by such Member to the Company are the amounts set forth on Exhibit
B.  Upon conveyance, such assets and property shall become Company Assets.  On
the Contribution Date (after the appropriate additions to the Capital Accounts
have been made), the Member whose Capital Account balance was lower contributed,
or caused its Affiliate to contribute on its behalf, cash in an amount equal to
the difference between its Capital Account balance and the other Member's
Capital Account balance so that, as a result, the Members' Capital Accounts was
equal on the Contribution Date.

                    3.2.3.  Actions Prior to Contribution Date.

  From and after the Effective Time, as part of its Phase I development
responsibilities under Appendix E, Calpine covenants to (i) pursue negotiations
with each respective vendor as to the final form of the Combustion Turbine
Purchase Contract, the Steam Turbine Purchase Contract and the HRSG Purchase
Contract and (ii) make all payments that (1) may be required by such vendors in
order to reserve such equipment prior to the date such contracts are executed by
the Company or (2) may be required under such contracts once signed by Calpine
on the Management Committee's direction, prior to the date such contracts are
contributed and assigned by Calpine to the Company, in each case as necessary to
timely secure such equipment for the Project in accordance with the Development
Plan and Construction Schedule attached as Appendix J (the "Development
Plan").  Payments made by Calpine pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence shall constitute Third Party Expenses, the amount of which shall be
added to Calpine's Capital Account in accordance with Section 3.2.2.  The
Combustion Turbine Purchase Contract, the Steam Turbine Purchase Contract and
the HRSG Purchase Contract shall each require the approval of the Management
Committee in advance of their execution.  These contracts are anticipated to be
entered into by and between the Company and the respective vendors on or after
the Contribution Date; however, if so directed by the Management Committee,
Calpine will enter into one or more of such contracts on or before the
Contribution Date, and if so, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.2.4, Calpine will assign and contribute such contracts to the Company
(and obtain all necessary consents from such vendors as may be required for such
assignment).  Calpine guarantees that the purchase price for each of the four
(4) F class combustion turbine generators

-7-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to be purchased under the Combustion Turbine Purchase Contract will not exceed
$34,500,000 (except to the extent changes in the scope of the Project result in
a higher cost), and Calpine will pay any amount per turbine in excess of such
price without being entitled to reimbursement by the Company or to any addition
to its Capital Account for such excess cost.

                    3.2.4.  Contribution Date; Contribution Deadline

.  The "Contribution Deadline" shall be the date that is forty-five (45) days
after the Effective Time or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
Business Day.  The "Contribution Date" shall be the date that is three (3)
Business Days after the date on which both the Company and Siemens Westinghouse
Power Corporation have executed the Combustion Turbine Purchase Contract (or, as
the case may be, the date on which the Combustion Turbine Purchase Contract
previously executed by Calpine, on the Management Committee's direction, and
Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation is assigned by Calpine to the
Company).  If the Combustion Turbine Purchase Contract is not executed by the
Company (or executed by Calpine and assigned to the Company) on or before the
Contribution Deadline, Acadia Holdings, in its sole discretion, may elect, by
written notice to Calpine, either to (a) extend the Contribution Deadline for a
reasonable time in order for the Combustion Turbine Purchase Contract to be
executed by the Company (or executed by Calpine and assigned to the Company, if
the Management Committee so directs), not to exceed sixty (60) days after the
original Contribution Deadline, or (b) trigger the Windup Events in accordance
with Article 15.  Failure by Acadia Holdings to provide notice in the foregoing
circumstance within five (5) Business Days following the original Contribution
Deadline shall be deemed an election to extend the Contribution Deadline until
the sixtieth (60th) day after the original Contribution Deadline.  If Acadia
Holdings elects to extend the Contribution Deadline, but the Combustion Turbine
Purchase Contract is not executed by the Company (or executed by Calpine and
assigned to the Company) on or before the extended Contribution Deadline, the
Windup Events shall be commenced in accordance with Article 15.  If the Windup
Events are commenced under this Section 3.2.4, then, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in Section 15.2.3, following reasonable advance notice by Acadia
Holdings to Calpine, within three (3) Business Days after Acadia Holdings
tenders reimbursement to Calpine for all payments made by Calpine to the steam
turbine generator vendor to reserve the steam turbine generators for the Project
and under the Steam Turbine Purchase Contract, Calpine shall assign to Acadia
Holdings the Steam Turbine Purchase Contract (provided the Steam Turbine
Purchase Contract was previously entered into by Calpine).

          Section 3.3.  Further Contributions.

                    3.3.1.  Maximum Aggregate Capital Contributions

.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4, each Member agrees to make such
further Pro Rata Capital Contributions necessary to fund the Project Costs as
they are incurred in accordance with the drawdown schedule attached to the
Project Budget and Section 6.1; provided, however, that each Member's aggregate
Capital Contribution obligations, including all contributions pursuant to
Section 3.2.2, shall not exceed the amount set forth below opposite such
Member's name unless otherwise agreed to by such Member:

Calpine

$250,000,000

Acadia Holdings

$250,000,000

   

-8-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    3.3.2.  Maximum Aggregate Capital Contribution Reduced by
Guarantees

.  Notwithstanding Section 3.3.1, the maximum aggregate Capital Contribution
obligations set forth above for a Member shall be reduced (but not below zero)
on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the maximum aggregate payment obligation then
currently guaranteed from time to time by such Member or such Member's Affiliate
or Affiliates under Third Party Guarantee(s) for so long as such Third Party
Guarantee(s) continue to be in effect.

                    3.3.3.  Payments by Affiliate Guarantors Prior to Commercial
Operation Date

.  Any amount actually paid before the Commercial Operation Date by an
Affiliated Guarantor under a Third Party Guarantee will be (i) deemed to be a
Capital Contribution of the Member that is, or is an Affiliate of, such
Affiliated Guarantor, (ii) applied against and reduce such Member's obligations
to make Capital Contributions that next come due following the date of payment,
and (iii) added to the Capital Account of such Member in accordance with
Section 3.7(a) as of the date of payment.  The foregoing shall be in lieu of any
rights of subrogation or similar rights that the Affiliated Guarantor may
otherwise have under Applicable Law.

          Section 3.3.4.  Payments by Affiliate Guarantors On or After
Commercial Operation Date

.  Any amount actually paid on or after the Commercial Operation Date by an
Affiliated Guarantor under a Third Party Guarantee will, as of the date of
payment, automatically become a Subordinated Obligation (as defined in Section
3.3.5) in favor of such Affiliated Guarantor.

                    3.3.5.  Subordinated Obligations

.  For purposes of this Section 3.3, "Subordinated Obligation" means an
obligation of the Company that is subordinated in right of payment to all
operating expenses of the Company and to all debt service owing to any Person
that is not a Member or an Affiliate of any Member, but that is senior in right
of payment to any and all other debt service or debt obligations of the Company
to any Member or any Affiliate of any Member (including any Contribution Loan)
and senior in right of payment to all distributions in respect of Ownership
Interests.  If the Company's available cash at any time is insufficient to pay
all outstanding Subordinated Obligations at that time, the available cash shall
be applied to the outstanding Subordinated Obligations pro-rata according to the
respective outstanding amounts of the Subordinated Obligations.  Any amount
owing as a Subordinated Obligation hereunder shall accrue interest at the
Default Rate from the date such obligation arose by virtue of an Affiliate
Guarantor's payment under a Third Party Guarantee until the date the Company
repays the applicable Affiliated Guarantor.

          Section 3.4.  Election to Not Make Further Capital Contributions.

                    3.4.1.  Opt-Out Notice and Non-Electing Member's Election

.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3, at any time prior to the
Commercial Operation Date, either Member (the "Electing Member") may make a
one-time election to terminate its obligation to fund any future Capital
Contributions by delivering notice thereof (the "Opt-Out Notice") to the other
Member (the "Non-Electing Member"), and upon completion of the procedures in
this Section 3.4, to terminate all its obligations to make any future Capital
Contributions to the Company.  In such event, any future failure to fund Capital
Contributions by the Electing

-9-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Member (except as required in this Section 3.4) shall not constitute an Event of
Default hereunder.  The Opt-Out Notice shall state that the Electing Member has
elected to terminate its obligation to fund any future Capital Contributions
required under this Agreement and shall either (i) offer to sell to the
Non-Electing Member or its designee all of the Electing Member's Ownership
Interest for a sum equal to ninety-seven and one half percent (97.5%) of the
Electing Member's Capital Account balance as of the date of the Opt-Out Notice
plus one hundred percent (100%) of such Member's Capital Contributions funded
following delivery of the Opt-Out Notice or (ii) request that the Non-Electing
Member assume the Electing Member's obligation to fund its Pro Rata share of all
future Capital Contributions required under this Agreement following the
thirtieth (30th) day after delivery of the Opt-Out Notice.  An Opt-Out Notice
shall be irrevocable.  Regardless of which option the Electing Member offers the
Non-Electing Member, the Electing Member shall continue to be obligated to fund
its Pro Rata share of all Capital Contributions required under this Agreement
during the thirty (30) day period following delivery of the Opt-Out Notice.  On
or before the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery of the Opt-Out Notice, the
Non-Electing Member shall, by notice to the Electing Member, either (a) accept
the offer given the Non-Electing Member to buy, or cause its designee to buy,
the Electing Member's Ownership Interest or fund the Electing Member's Pro Rata
share of future Capital Contributions or (b) elect to trigger the Windup Events
in accordance with Article 15.  Failure by the Non-Electing Member to deliver
such notice shall be deemed an election to trigger the Windup Events.  In the
event the Non-Electing Member elects to trigger the Windup Events, the Electing
Member's election to terminate its obligations hereunder shall be deemed null
and void, and all Members shall continue to be bound by their respective
obligations hereunder until the Windup Events have been concluded and the
Company is terminated.

                    3.4.2.  Buy-Out of Ownership Interest

.  In the event the Electing Member offers to sell its Ownership Interest to the
Non-Electing Member and the Non-Electing Member accepts such offer, the purchase
and sale of the Electing Member's Ownership Interest shall close on the date
that is ninety (90) days following receipt by the Non-Electing Member of the
Electing Member's Opt-Out Notice.  The purchase price for the Electing Member's
Ownership Interest, calculated in accordance with clause (i) of the third
sentence of Section 3.4.1, shall be paid at closing.  The Electing Member shall
convey its Ownership Interest to the Non-Electing Member or its designee at
closing free and clear of any and all Encumbrances or claims by third parties
(other than a security interest securing any Project Financing previously or
concurrently approved by the Management Committee), and the Electing Member
shall give such warranties and representations of title, corporate authority and
due authorization to the Non-Electing Member as are customary in a sale of a
membership interest in a closely held limited liability company.

                    3.4.3.  Funding of Electing Member's Pro Rata Share

.  In the event the Electing Member offers the Non-Electing Member the right to
assume the Electing Member's obligation to fund its Pro Rata share of Capital
Contributions required under this Agreement, and the Non-Electing Member accepts
such offer, the Non-Electing Member shall be obligated to fund the Electing
Member's Pro Rata share of all future Capital Contributions required by this
Agreement, as an additional Capital Contribution, following the thirtieth (30th)
day following receipt by the Non-Electing Member of the Electing Member's
Opt-Out Notice.  Upon each such

-10-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

contribution, the Ownership Interests of the Members shall be automatically
adjusted to correspond to the percentage each Member's Capital Contributions
bears to the aggregate of all Members' Capital Contributions.  The Management
Committee shall give all Members notice of such adjustment to the Ownership
Interests and the Capital Accounts.

          Section 3.5.  No Interest on Capital Contributions

.  No Member is entitled to interest on its Capital Contributions.

          Section 3.6.  Contribution Loans.

          (a)  Should there occur a Contribution Default as to any Member (a
"Noncontributing Member"), then the Member which has made its required Capital
Contributions (such Member being the "Contributing Member") shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to advance such amount directly to the Company as
a loan to the Noncontributing Member (a "Contribution Loan"), without prejudice
to the Contributing Member's other rights hereunder, including the right to
declare an Event of Default under Article 18.

          (b)  Each Contribution Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
Default Rate.  A Noncontributing Member shall repay its Contribution Loan on a
first priority basis out of any and all subsequent distributions to which the
Noncontributing Member would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement (and the
Company and the Management Committee are hereby irrevocably directed to pay all
such distributions directly to the Contributing Member), with all principal and
interest in any event being due in full on the first anniversary of the date
such Contribution Loan is made.  All payments on account of a Contribution Loan
shall be applied first to interest and then to principal until the Contribution
Loan is repaid in full.

          (c)  A Contributing Member participating in a Contribution Loan may
designate an Affiliate to make a Contribution Loan hereunder on such Member's
behalf.

          (d)  The Contributing Member's Contribution Loan shall be secured by a
security interest in the noncontributing Member's Ownership Interest and all
proceeds thereof, including all distributions attributable thereto, and each
Member shall grant to the other a security interest therein to secure its
obligation to repay any Contribution Loan together with interest thereon.  Such
security interest shall at all times be subordinate to any security interest
granted by the Members in connection with any Project Financing.

          Section 3.7.  Capital Accounts

.  Separate Capital Accounts shall be maintained for each Member and shall
consist of the sum of (a) the cumulative amount of any cash contributed or
deemed to have been contributed to the capital of the Company by such Member;
plus (b) the Gross Asset Value, as of the date of contribution, of any property
other than cash contributed to the capital of the Company by such Member (net of
liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered
to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code); plus (c) the
cumulative amount of the Company's Profits that has been allocated to such
Member hereunder; plus (d) any items in the nature of income or gain which are
specially or curatively allocated pursuant to Sections 13.3 through 13.10; plus
(e) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or which are
secured by any asset of the Company distributed to such Member; minus (f) the
cumulative amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value,

-11-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

as of the date of distribution, of all other property that has been distributed
to such Member or deemed to have been distributed to such Member hereunder by
the Company (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that the
Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the
Code); minus (g) the cumulative amount of the Company's Losses that have been
allocated to such Member hereunder; minus (h) any items in the nature of
deductions or losses which are specially or curatively allocated pursuant to
Sections 13.3 through 13.10 hereof; minus (i) the amount of any liabilities of
such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property
contributed by such Member to the Company.  All of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) or any successor Treasury
Regulations governing the treatment of capital accounts and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

          Section 3.8.  Non-Liability of Members

.  No Member shall be liable for the debts, liabilities, contracts or other
obligations of the Company except to the extent of any unpaid Capital
Contributions such Member is required to make to the Company pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and such Member's share of the assets (including
undistributed revenues) of the Company.

          Section 3.9.  Partition

.  Each Member waives any and all rights that it may have to maintain an action
for partition of the Company Assets.

          Section 3.10.  Resignation

.  Except as provided herein, a Member may not resign from the Company prior to
the dissolution of the Company and conclusion of the Windup Events.

.  Not later than three hundred sixty-five (365) days before the anticipated
Commercial Operation Date, the Management Committee shall negotiate and cause
the Company to enter into one or more Affiliate Contracts or commercially
reasonable contractual arrangements with one or more third parties for the

Operator.  Consideration of the proposed O&M Arrangements, even if they include
one or more Affiliate Contracts, will not be a Disqualified

-13-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Matter.  The O&M Arrangements shall provide for O&M Services to be performed
under the direction of the Plant Manager, who shall be an employee of the
Project Management Company.  The O&M Arrangements will impose upon the Plant
Manager reasonable duties to report to the Management Committee and keep it

into one or more Affiliate Contracts or commercially reasonable contractual
arrangements with one or more third parties for the provision of Major
Maintenance Services at the Facility ("Major Maintenance
Arrangements").  Consideration of the proposed Major Maintenance Arrangements,
even if they include one or more Affiliate Contracts, will not be a Disqualified
Matter.  "Major Maintenance Services" will consist of all non-routine
Maintenance for the Facility, including overhauls and major Maintenance work
required for the combustion turbine generators, steam turbine generators and
heat recovery steam generators, and other similar or related functions
designated by the Management Committee. Because each Member is qualified and
willing to provide certain of the Major Maintenance Services to the Project
below the market rate for such services, the Management Committee shall give
special preference to (a) an Affiliate Contract with Calpine or its Affiliate
for the performance of major Maintenance work on the Facility's combustion
turbine generators and (b) an Affiliate Contract with Acadia Holdings or its
Affiliate for the performance of the other Major Maintenance Services.  If the
Management Committee does not agree on the final form of the Maintenance
Arrangements, the matter shall constitute a Dispute or Controversy that shall be
resolved in accordance with Article 20.

                    4.2.3.  Owner's Representative

.  Under Section 4.5 of the O&M Agreement, the Company has the right to
determine that Cleco may substitute one of its (or its Affiliates') employees
for an employee of the operator under the O&M Agreement in a supervisory level
position under the Plant Manager.  In the event that the Management Committee
reaches a deadlock on the issue of whether to allow Cleco to make such a
substitution under the O&M Agreement, Acadia Holdings shall have the right
(without the consent or approval of any other Member) to place an employee of
Cleco (or one of its Affiliates) at the Facility Site as an Owner's
representative.

                    4.2.4.  Replacement Upon Event of Default and Termination of
PPA

.  If (i) there occurs an Event of Default (as defined in the 2001 PPA or the
2003 PPA) by Calpine Energy, or any successor or assignee to Calpine Energy
under the 2001 PPA or the 2003 PPA that is an Affiliate of Calpine Parent, and
(ii) the Company terminates one or both PPAs due to such Event of Default, then
upon request by Acadia Holdings, within thirty (30) days following the date of
such request:

-15-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (a)  The Company shall require Calpine Central to enter into a written
instrument of assignment and assumption transferring the O&M Agreement and the
Project Management Agreement to Acadia Holdings or an Affiliate thereof
designated by Acadia Holdings (together with its address), such instrument to be
in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and Acadia Holdings; and

          (b)  Acadia Holdings shall, or shall cause its designated Affiliate
to, enter into such instrument of assignment and assumption as assignee.

This Section 4.2.4 constitutes the prior written consent of the Company to the
foregoing assignment and assumption in accordance with Section 12.1 of the O&M
Agreement and Section 12.1 of the Project Management Agreement.

          Section 4.3.  Management Committee.

                    4.3.1.  Member's Representatives

Representatives.  Any Member may at any time, by prior notice to the other
Member, remove its Representative(s) or Alternate(s) on the Management Committee
and designate a new Representative(s) or Alternate(s).  Each Representative
shall serve on the Management Committee until his or her successor shall be duly
designated or until his or her death, resignation or removal by the Member that
appointed him or her. Any right or privilege of a Representative hereunder may,
in the absence of the Representative, be exercised by its Alternate, and
references herein to any rights or privileges of a Representative shall mean the
"Representative or its Alternate acting on behalf of the Representative." The
participation and acts (including the execution of any documents) by an
Alternate shall be deemed to be the act of the Representative(s) for whom such
Alternate is acting without any evidence of the absence or unavailability of
such Representative(s).  Any decision by the Management Committee, and any
action taken by the Company in compliance with the direction of the Management
Committee pursuant to its authority hereunder, shall be binding on the Company
and each Member, whether such direction was approved in accordance with the
provisions hereof by the Representatives or one or more of the Alternates acting
on behalf of their respective Representative(s).  Each Member shall promptly
give notice to the other of any change in the business address or business
telephone of any of its Representatives or Alternates.  As of the Restatement
Date, the Members designate the following individuals as their Representatives
and Alternates:

Company.  Each Member shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives
or Alternates to attend each meeting of the Management Committee, and no Member
shall withhold the presence or participation of its Representatives or
Alternates to forestall decisions in matters relating to the Project.  An
Alternate may take the place of one or both of its Member's Representatives at a
meeting.  Other employees or agents of the Members may also attend meetings.

                    4.3.2.  No Fiduciary Duties of Representatives and

dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

By contrast to matters requiring approval by a Simple Majority vote under
Section 4.3.8, failure to secure a Super Majority vote on any matter that

approval by unanimous vote under this Section 4.3.10 shall not constitute a
Dispute or Controversy and shall not be subject to resolution under the terms of

established by the Management Committee, consent thereto in writing, and the
writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the
Management Committee or such committee, as the case may be.  A telegram, telex,

          Section 4.4.  Business with Affiliates.

                    4.4.1.  Arms' Length Basis for Affiliate Contracts

.  The Members or their Affiliates shall not be precluded from providing goods
and/or services to the Project.  All contracts for the provision of goods and/or
services to the Project by a Member or an Affiliate thereof ("Affiliate
Contracts") shall be negotiated and administered in good faith on an arms'
length basis and, at the time of execution, have terms at least as favorable to
the Project as those available in the market from unaffiliated third
parties.  Except as provided below, upon execution of any Affiliate Contract
approved by the Management Committee, each Member shall be deemed to have waived
any right to object to the terms of such Affiliate Contract on the grounds of
the absence of good faith, lack of arms' length negotiations or the presence of
terms not at least as favorable to the Project as those available in the market
from unaffiliated third parties; provided, however, that (a) if a Member whose
Representative(s) voted against approval of an Affiliate Contract owned less
than a forty-five percent (45%) Ownership Interest in the Company at the time of
such vote, such Member shall not be deemed to have waived any right to object to
the terms of the Affiliate Contract on the grounds of the absence of good faith,
lack of arms' length negotiations or the presence of terms not at least as
favorable to the Project as those available in the market from unaffiliated
third parties and (b) such Member's objection to the terms of such Affiliate
Contract shall constitute a Dispute or Controversy for resolution in accordance
with Article 20.

                    4.4.2.  Disqualified Matters

.  So long as each Member owns at least a forty-five percent (45%) Ownership
Interest, in the event that a Member or any of its Affiliates is a party to an
Affiliate Contract, then (a) such Member's Representatives on the Management
Committee shall be disqualified from voting on decisions or actions involving a
Disqualified Matter as to the Affiliate Contract and (b) the Representatives who
are not disqualified shall vote on such Disqualified Matter in accordance with
the best interests of the Company.  "Disqualified Matters" means actions by the
Company or by the Management Committee on behalf of the Company in response to a
breach of or default (or alleged breach or default) under the subject Affiliate
Contract (such as a waiver of the breach or default, notice of breach or event
of default or notice of termination for breach in accordance with the terms of
the Affiliate Contract) or enforcement or exercise of any of the Company's
rights or remedies in respect to such breach or default (or alleged breach or
default).  Disqualified Matters shall not include the initial approval of an
Affiliate Contract or matters other than those relating to a breach or default
that may arise during the term of an Affiliate Contract, such as an amendment of
the terms thereof requested by any party thereto, renewal or extension of the
Affiliate Contract or the terms applicable to the renewal period, or a decision
to select or approve the Project Director, Construction Manager, Asset Manager
or Plant Manager.  In the event a proposal includes Disqualified Matters and
matters other than Disqualified Matters, then such matters shall be presented as
separate proposals to the Management Committee.  The Representatives who are
disqualified from voting on a Disqualified Matter shall not be excluded from
discussions of the Disqualified Matter, and shall receive notice of the intent
to vote on the Disqualified Matter and an opportunity to be heard on the matter
prior to such vote.  Nothing herein shall prohibit the counterparty to any
Affiliate Contract from enforcing its rights under the Affiliate Contract or
contesting any determination of a breach or default under the Affiliate
Contract.

-20-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                    4.4.3.  Liability for Actions

.  In the event that an Affiliate that was determined by the Management
Committee to be in breach or default of an Affiliate Contract pursuant to a vote
on a Disqualified Matter is subsequently found, in a final, nonappealable
judgment or binding arbitral decision, not to have been in such breach or
default to the extent claimed by the Management Committee, the Member who was
not disqualified from voting with respect to such matter shall indemnify and
hold the Company harmless against any liability or damages due to the Affiliate
as a result thereof.

                    4.4.4.  Conflicts of Interest; Competition with Project

.  Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, each Member and
its Affiliates, at any time and from time to time may possess business interests
and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Project,
including business interests and activities in direct competition with the
Project.  Neither Member nor its Affiliates shall have any rights by virtue of
this Agreement in any outside business ventures of the other Member or its
Affiliates.  No Member or its Affiliates shall have any obligation to offer the
other Member or any Affiliate thereof the right to participate in any outside
business venture and in no event shall such Member or Affiliate have any
liability to the other Member or any Affiliate thereof under the "corporate
opportunity" or similar doctrine.

                    4.4.5.  Substitution for Credit Support

.  As of the Effective Time, Calpine Parent entered into the Calpine Limited
Guaranty and Cleco entered into the Cleco Limited Guaranty.  Each of Calpine and
Cleco shall have the right at any time during the Term to substitute and replace
such guaranty or credit support with such assurances and other credit support as
are acceptable to both Members.

                    4.4.6.  Certain Actions Under Calpine 2001 PPA Guaranty

.  Under Section 6(d) of the Calpine 2001 PPA Guaranty, the Company has the
right in specified circumstances to take certain actions and make certain
elections with respect to credit support to be provided by or on behalf of
Calpine Parent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Acadia Holdings shall
have the sole right on behalf of the Company (without the consent or approval of
any other Member) to take all actions and make all elections provided for on the
Company's part in Section 6(d) of the Calpine 2001 PPA Guaranty and all such
actions taken and elections made by Acadia Holdings shall be binding on the
Company.

authorized and empowered to act for and on behalf of the Company on matters
relating to the development of the Project (the "Project Director"), in

                    5.3.3.  Reporting Responsibilities

.  The Project Director shall furnish monthly progress reports to the Management
Committee and otherwise consult with the Management Committee on a regular basis
as to its directives and the progress of the Project.  In addition, the Project

Appendix E as having responsibility for a Phase I Activity, and any other
individuals requested by a Member, may participate in such meetings in person or
by telephone via a 1-800 conference call to be arranged by the Project
Director.  The Project Director shall use good faith efforts to keep Acadia

Activities, and shall notify Acadia Holdings of meetings with any third parties
relating to the Phase I Activities.  (The Project Director shall not be required

Affiliates.) Acadia Holdings will identify for the Project Director an
individual as its representative for such purpose, which individual may be
replaced from time to time upon notice by Acadia Holdings to the Project

or her responsibilities hereunder.  If Acadia Holdings or an Affiliate of Acadia
Holdings is the Project Management Company, Acadia Holdings shall cause the
Project Management Company to provide the Project Director with the necessary
resources to accomplish his or her responsibilities hereunder.  The Project
Director shall have no liability for his or her failure to perform his or her
obligations hereunder and the sole recourse of the Members and the Company shall
be to cause the Management Committee on behalf of the Company and each Member,
in accordance with Section 5.3.5, to remove the acting Project Director and
replace him or her with an individual approved by the Management Committee.

continue in full force and effect until the date on which the Management
Committee determines that the Phase I Activities hereunder have been completed
or that their coordination will be completed by the Construction Manager or the
Plant Manager (the "Project Director Discharge Date").

          (b)  The appointed Project Director may be earlier terminated by the
Management Committee (i) if he or she has failed to follow the directions of the
Management Committee in any material instance or to observe any provision of
this Agreement, after notice to the Project Management Company and the Project
Director specifying the infraction and the actions to be taken to remedy the
same, and a reasonable opportunity to cure such infraction has elapsed without
remedying the infraction, by a vote of the Management Committee (with such
matter considered a Disqualified Matter on which the Member that is the Project
Management Company or the Member whose Affiliate is the Project Management
Company, as the case may be, shall have no vote) or (ii) if said individual
dies, becomes incapacitated or ceases working for the Project Management Company
or an Affiliate of the Project Management Company.  In the event the appointment
of a Project Director is terminated, the Member that is the Project Management
Company or the Member whose Affiliate is the Project Management Company, as the
case may be, shall promptly provide the Company with a plan for succession and
orderly transition of the Project Director's functions so that at no point will
there be no Project Director in place, including, in the event the appointment
of the Project Director is terminated under clause (ii) above, the temporary
appointment of an interim Project Director (which shall not require Management
Committee approval) who shall serve in such capacity until the Management
Committee shall have approved a replacement Project Director.

          (c)  Upon the Management Committee's direction, the Member that is the
Project Management Company or the Member whose Affiliate is the Project
Management Company, as the case may be, shall implement such succession
plan.  As part of such plan, the Project Management Company shall give the
Company notice of the proposed substitution or replacement of another qualified
individual as the Project Director to serve until the Project Director Discharge
Date (together with information as to the individual's qualifications and
credentials), and the Management Committee shall have the right to approve or
disapprove of the individual proposed to serve as the Project Director.  If the
Management Committee does not approve the individual proposed within fifteen
(15) days after the proposal is made, the Member that is the Project Management
Company or the Member whose Affiliate is the Project Management Company, as the
case may be, shall promptly propose another qualified individual in accordance
with the preceding sentence.  Until the Management Committee approves a

interim Project Director) shall continue in the performance of his or her duties
as Project Director.

                    5.4.3.  Standard of Conduct of Individuals Assigned by
Responsible Member

.  The individuals responsible for performing the tasks assigned to them by
either Member shall (a) devote sufficient time to the Project in order to

Committee, on behalf of the Company, to remove the individual assigned to such
task and replace him or her with an individual approved by the Management
Committee.

                    5.4.4.  Appointment and Removal of Individuals

tasks assigned to them by either Member may be earlier terminated by the
Management Committee (a) if he or she has failed to follow the directions of the
Management Committee in any material instance or to observe any provision of
this Agreement, after notice to the Member and the Project Director that
appointed such individual specifying the infraction and the actions to be taken

elapsed without remedying the infraction, by a vote of the Management Committee
(with such matter considered a Disqualified Matter on which the Member
appointing such individual shall have no vote) or (b) if said individual dies,

responsibility so that at no point will such responsibility be unassigned,
including, in the event an individual's appointment is terminated under clause

require Management Committee approval) who shall undertake the responsibility in
the interim until the Management Committee shall have approved a replacement.

Project Agreements, unless and until the Management Committee reassigns such
responsibility.  Following the completion of the Phase I Activities, except as

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Agreements) and Article 7 (regarding, without limitation, the responsibilities
of the Power Marketer), either Member may, from time to time during the Term,
present proposed Significant Offtake Agreements to the Management Committee for
consideration.  A Significant Offtake Agreement proposed for execution by the
Company shall be submitted to the Management Committee for approval either at a

writing by all the Representatives attending such meeting.  Provided the
proposed Significant Offtake Agreement has been delivered to the Members in
advance of the meeting (or such requirement is waived), the proposed agreement
shall be considered by the Management Committee at the meeting.  The Management
Committee shall in its discretion:

          (a)  Vote to approve the proposed Significant Offtake Agreement, in
which event the proposed agreement shall be executed by the Chairman on behalf
of the Company or the proposing Member shall be authorized to conclude any final
negotiations of the agreement (which shall not include any material changes from
the agreement presented to the Management Committee for approval), and prepare
and submit to the Chairman for signature the final, executable Significant
Offtake Agreement;

          (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.6.1, vote against
approving the proposed Significant Offtake Agreement, in which event the
proposing Member shall take no further action on behalf of the Company with
regard to the proposed agreement; or

          (c)  Specify revisions to the terms of the proposed Significant
Offtake Agreement that the Management Committee requires for approval of the
agreement, in which event the proposing Member (i) shall continue to negotiate
with the counterparty to the proposed agreement in order to address such terms
to the satisfaction of the Management Committee and (ii) shall, if it is
successful in negotiating the terms required by the Management Committee (or in
negotiating such alternate terms that the proposing Member reasonably believes
the Management Committee may desire to accept), present the revised Significant
Offtake Agreement at a subsequent meeting of the Management Committee in
accordance with the foregoing procedures.

                    5.6.1.  Procedure Prior to Project Financing

.  The provisions of this Section 5.6.1 are applicable during the period from
the Effective Time until the earlier to occur of (a) the first drawdown of funds
under the Company's initial Project Financing, and (b) the date either Member
acquires control of a Simple Majority.  During this period, if, after
consideration of a Prequalified Significant Offtake Agreement proposed by either
Member, the

-27-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Management Committee does not agree on a course of action pursuant to clauses
(a), (b) or (c) of Section 5.6, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the
proposed Prequalified Significant Offtake Agreement was first considered at a
meeting of the Management Committee, the Management Committee shall be deemed to
have voted to approve the proposed Prequalified Significant Offtake Agreement,
and, except as provided below, the Chairman shall execute the Prequalified
Significant Offtake Agreement on behalf of the Company.  The term "Prequalified
Significant Offtake Agreement" means a Significant Offtake Agreement, (a) with
any Person (including an Affiliate of either Member) as the offtaker having a
Standard & Poor's credit rating of BBB- or better, or the Moody's equivalent
thereof, and (b) that, when analyzed using the Base Model, is projected (on a
stand alone basis) to result in a nine percent (9%) unlevered internal rate of
return to the Company, after income taxes (assuming an overall income tax rate
of 38.25%), based on the Project Costs, Operating Expenses (including fuel
costs), Capital Expenses, Tax depreciation and other items allocable to the
Capacity and Energy sold under the proposed Prequalified Significant Offtake
Agreement.  "Base Model" means the Project's spreadsheet financial model that
will be reasonably agreed upon by the Management Committee within sixty (60)
days after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the Representatives that do not agree that the Prequalified Significant Offtake
Agreement should be entered into by the Company may specify particular revisions
to the terms of the proposed Prequalified Significant Offtake Agreement that
they require for approval of the agreement, in which event the proposing Member
shall endeavor, in good faith within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30)
days, to negotiate those terms requested by the dissenting Representatives, and
the Company shall not enter into the proposed Prequalified Significant Offtake
Agreement until the proposing Member has so endeavored to negotiate the
requested terms.  Regardless whether the requested terms are or are not included
in the proposed Prequalified Significant Offtake Agreement following such good
faith endeavors, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Chairman shall
execute such Prequalified Significant Offtake Agreement as provided above in the
form then negotiated for the Company by the proposing Member.

          Section 5.7.  Project Financing.

                    5.7.1.  Project Finance Criteria

.  The Company will, as its primary financing strategy, pursue financing for the
Project on the basis of loans or bonds which are non-recourse and off-balance
sheet to the Members and their Affiliates, under which (a) the lenders will have
a first priority perfected security interest in all Company Assets (without any
cross-collateralization or cross-default to any other assets or indebtedness of
the Members or their Affiliates), and (b) the Members and their Affiliates will
not have any obligation or liability in respect of such financing except for (i)
obligations to contribute equity, including equity for cost overruns (with each
Member being responsible for its Pro Rata share of any such equity up to a
maximum to be agreed by the Members), (ii) the Members' pledge of their
respective Ownership Interests as security for the project debt, with no
representations, warranties or covenants other than usual and customary
corporate representations and warranties for a pledge agreement in a
non-recourse, off-balance sheet financing of the type described above, and (iii)
any obligations that the Members or their Affiliates may elect to undertake
pursuant to the Financing Documents ("Project Financing").  Accordingly, the
Members agree that this Agreement, the Definitive Agreements and the Project
Agreements are intended to comply with standards and requirements for a Project
Financing so as to be acceptable to the project lenders.  To the extent that
either

-28-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Member or its respective Affiliates may be subject to restrictions under senior
debt agreements or bond indentures that inhibit either Member or its respective
Affiliates from pledging its Ownership Interest in the Company to secure the
project debt, the Members will work with one another to resolve resulting issues
so that Project Financing may be achieved generally in accordance with the
structure contemplated for Project Financing in this Agreement.

                    5.7.2.  Management Committee Approval

.  The Management Committee may approve a Financing Commitment at any
time.  Beginning no later than the date upon which the Company has entered into
Significant Offtake Agreements pursuant to which an aggregate of sixty-five
percent (65%) of the total output of Capacity or Energy from the Facility will
be sold for terms of no less than fifteen (15) years, the Members agree (a) to
work together to develop a plan for Project Financing and (b) diligently to
jointly pursue and obtain Financing Commitments to implement such plan.

          Section 5.8.  PPA Managers.

                    5.8.1.  Appointment

.  Each of Acadia Holdings and Calpine shall have the right in its sole
discretion to appoint an individual to act as manager for the Company with
respect to the PPAs (each a "PPA Manager") and to remove and replace its PPA
Manager at any time and from time to time for any reason or for no reason.  Each
PPA Manager shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate
an alternate PPA Manager to act on behalf of the designating PPA Manager to the
extent such designating PPA Manager is unavailable.  Each of Acadia Holdings and
Calpine shall notify the other of the name and contact information of its PPA
Manager and of any replacement PPA Manager appointed by it and any alternate PPA
Manager designated by its PPA Manager.

Company with respect to the matters that require a decision of or direction from
the Company at such time pursuant to Section 2.11.5 of the O&M Agreement,
including the issuance of Product Notices (as defined in the O&M Agreement) and,
to the extent the Company so elects in accordance with Section 2.11.5.2 of the
O&M Agreement, directing the issuance of Operational Notices (as defined in the
O&M Agreement) by the Operator.  To the extent any such decision or direction
involves the first twenty-four (24) hours of any outage or other event or
circumstance, such decision or direction shall be given or made by the Acadia
Holdings PPA Manager in his or her sole discretion on behalf of the Company.  To
the extent any such decision or direction involves the period beyond the first
twenty-four (24) hours of any outage or other event or circumstance, such
decision or direction shall be given or made only by mutual agreement of the
Acadia Holdings PPA Manager and the Calpine PPA Manager.  Either PPA Manager
may, without the need for any consent from the other PPA Manager, exercise the
elections afforded the Company under Section 2.11.5.2 of the O&M Agreement.  All
directions given and decisions made by either PPA Manager or both PPA Managers
in accordance with this Section 5.8.2 shall be final and binding on the Company
and shall not be subject to review or approval by the Management Committee or by
any Member.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PPA Managers do not agree on
any matter requiring the mutual agreement of both PPA Managers under this
Section 5.8.2 within three (3) hours after the initial communication between the
PPA Managers regarding such matter, either PPA Manager may refer the matter to
the

Management Committee, which shall then give the relevant directions or make the
relevant decisions on behalf of the Company.

during the Term, the Operator, acting through the Plant Manager, shall prepare
and submit to the Management Committee for approval a comprehensive budget
estimating the expected total Operating Expenses for the next

Company shall establish an interest-bearing bank account on behalf of the
Company solely for funding of Capital Expenses (the "Capital Expense
Account").  To the extent the Management Committee expressly approves an
additional capital call for any Capital Expenses, each Member shall disburse
monies to the Capital Expense Account to pay its Pro Rata share of such Capital
Expenses, in accordance with the instructions for such funding determined by the
Management Committee, but in no event shall any Member be required to pay any
amount in respect of any Capital Expense in excess of the line item amount
included in the Capital Expense Budget for such Capital Expense.  All
disbursements by the Members to the Capital Expense Account shall constitute
Capital Contributions.  On the Termination Date, any funds in the Capital
Expense Account, after payment of all amounts owing from such account in
accordance herewith, shall be an asset relating to the Facility for disposition
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

approval at a meeting called for such purpose as soon as practicable upon due
notice in accordance with Section 4.3.4.

.  If the Management Committee does not approve an Operating Budget or a Capital
Expense Budget, or a quorum is not obtained at a Management Committee meeting at
which an Operating Budget or Capital Expense Budget was to be considered and no
quorum is obtained for thirty (30) days after adjournment or postponement of any
such meeting (in either case, a "Budget Deadlock"), then for the forthcoming
Fiscal Year, until the Management Committee approves the applicable budget for
such Fiscal Year, (a) the Operating Budget for the next succeeding Fiscal Year
shall be equal to the Operating Budget applicable to the then ending Fiscal
Year, plus such amounts in excess of the prior Fiscal Year's budgeted amounts
necessary for the payment of taxes and other items not within the reasonable
control of the Company as well as increases in contract services and personnel
costs to the extent required to operate and maintain the Project in accordance
with the Operating Standard, but in no event in excess of five percent (5%) of
the prior Fiscal Year's Operating Budget and/or (b) the Capital Expense Budget
proposed for the next six (6) year period shall not be implemented and the
Capital Expense Budget previously approved by the Management Committee shall
remain in full force and effect for the period covered thereby until resolution
of the Budget Deadlock.  No Representative on the Management Committee may
object to a Capital Expense to be incurred in the then current Fiscal Year in a
proposed Capital Expense Budget if that expense was previously approved by the
Management Committee in the Capital Expense Budget for such Fiscal Year.

acknowledge and agree that the approval of any Project Budget, Operating Budget
or Capital Expense Budget and the funding of expenditures for Project Costs,
Operating Expenses and Capital Expenses shall be without prejudice to the rights
of either Member to review and audit expenditures actually incurred to verify
that such expenditures are properly charged to the Project and are properly
stated in the correct amount (any such audit to be commenced within one year
following the dates such expenditures are reported in writing to the Management
Committee).

ARTICLE 7
POWER MARKETING AND FUEL PROCUREMENT

          Section 7.1.  Power Marketing Agreement.  As soon as reasonably
practicable after the Trigger Date, in a period that is anticipated to end
ninety (90) days after the Trigger Date, the Management Committee shall
negotiate and cause the Company to enter into an Affiliate Contract with the
Power Marketer (the "Power Marketing Agreement") for the provision of the
following services to the Company:  the nomination, purchase and sale of natural
gas necessary to operate the Facility, the sale of Energy, Capacity and
ancillary services provided by the Facility, intra-day trading of Reserve Margin
and Energy generated therefrom (or other trading as directed by the Management
Committee), risk management, scheduling for, and the dispatch of, Energy, and
other project related commercial and operational activities assigned to it by
the

-34-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Management Committee ("Power Marketing Services").  The Members contemplate that
natural gas will be purchased from, and Energy, Capacity and ancillary services
will be sold to, third parties, and the Power Marketer shall handle scheduling,
invoicing and other administrative functions with respect thereto, but the Power
Marketer shall have no obligation to sell natural gas to the Company or purchase
Energy, Capacity or ancillary services from the Company or enter into any
commitments with respect thereto for which the Power Marketer could be
liable.  The Power Marketing Agreement shall incorporate Sections 7.1 through
7.5.  Upon the effective date of the Power Marketing Agreement between the
Company and the initial Power Marketer, (a) the Power Marketing Agreement shall
constitute the entire agreement between the parties thereto relating to the
subject matter thereof and shall supersede the provisions of Sections 7.1
through 7.5 and (b) all references in this Agreement to any of Sections 7.1
through 7.5 shall thereafter refer to the comparable provision of the Power
Marketing Agreement.  The Members acknowledge and understand that the Company
has entered into the Procurement and Marketing Agreement, dated as of July 27,
2001, between Cleco Marketing & Trading and the Company, which is intended to
function in conjunction with the PPAs.  Such Procurement and Marketing Agreement
is not the Power Marketing Agreement contemplated by this Article 7 and,
accordingly, this Article 7 shall remain in effect following the execution and
delivery of such Procurement and Marketing Agreement and until the Power
Marketing Agreement is executed and delivered following the Trigger Date.

                    7.1.1.  Initial Power Marketer; Power Marketing for Next
Project

.  The Management Committee hereby designates Cleco Marketing & Trading as the
initial Power Marketer for the Company.  The Members agree that in the event
they or their Controlled Affiliates jointly develop and operate a second power
plant project together, Calpine shall have the option, but no obligation, to
perform (or have its Affiliate perform) the role of power marketer in connection
with such project on substantially the same terms as are set forth herein with
such changes as may then be deemed necessary or reasonable by the parties to
accommodate dissimilarities between the technical or commercial aspects of the
Project and the second project.

                    7.1.2.  Reimbursement

.  The Power Marketer shall not be entitled to any fee or reimbursement of
expenses incurred in trading Energy, Capacity or ancillary services for the
Company.  The benefits to the Member that is, or whose Affiliate is, the Power
Marketer constitute the sole and adequate consideration for the Power Marketer's
performance of the trading services.  However, the Power Marketer shall be
entitled to receive from the Company reimbursement of its labor, overhead and
other reasonable expenses and costs incurred in connection with its
administration and management of contracts in the Asset Book.  Such
reimbursement shall constitute Operating Expenses that will be budgeted in each
Operating Budget and will be subject thereto, and the Company shall cause such
expenses to be paid out of the Project Account.

                    7.1.3.  Third Party Assistance

.  Without limitation to the last sentence of Section 7.1.7, the Power Marketer
may from time to time submit proposals to the Management Committee for the
Company to engage consultants, advisors or other Persons to assist with the
Power Marketing Services, and if approved, such arrangements will constitute
Project Agreements, but the Power Marketer (a) shall have no authority to enter
into such arrangements

-35-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

on behalf of the Company and (b) shall have no right to be reimbursed by the
Company if it separately enters into such arrangements, notwithstanding that the
Company may have benefited from such arrangements.

                    7.1.4.  Asset Management Policy Manual; Transfer Price

.  On or before fifteen (15) months prior to the anticipated Commercial
Operation Date, the Power Marketer shall develop an asset management policy
manual, which shall be subject to the Management Committee's approval ("Asset
Management Policy Manual").

          (a)  The Asset Management Policy Manual shall set the applicable price
at which either Member can purchase (or arrange for the purchase) of Capacity
and Energy pursuant to Section 7.3 (the "Transfer Price"), state the policies
and procedures for all Power Marketing Services, contain certain risk parameters
for trading by the Power Marketer of Capacity, Energy and ancillary services
from the Facility (which the Management Committee may change from time to time)
and incorporate the provisions set forth in Appendix I.  The Transfer Price is
anticipated to reflect the "all in" costs to the Company allocable to the
Capacity and Energy that either Member may purchase (or arrange for the purchase
of) from the Company hereunder.

          (b)  All Power Marketing Services undertaken by the Power Marketer in
connection with the Project shall be undertaken in accordance with the Asset
Management Policy Manual, and any and all risk parameters set forth therein or
that the Management Committee may from time to time establish in connection
therewith.  The Management Committee may modify, amend or restate the Asset
Management Policy Manual at any time and from time to time in its discretion.

                    7.1.5.  Asset Manager

.  An employee of the Power Marketer (or its Affiliate) will be appointed by the
Power Marketer, subject to the approval of the Management Committee, to direct,
oversee and coordinate the Power Marketing Services (the "Asset Manager").  The
Power Marketer shall provide the Asset Manager with the necessary resources to
accomplish his or her responsibilities hereunder.  The Asset Manager shall
report directly to the Management Committee and shall be in routine daily
contact with the Representatives of the Member that is not acting as the Power
Marketer. The appointed Asset Manager may be terminated by the Management
Committee (a) if he or she has failed to follow the directions of the Management
Committee in any material instance or to observe any provision of this Agreement
or the Asset Management Policy Manual, after notice to the Asset Manager and the
Power Marketer specifying the infraction and the actions to be taken to remedy
the same, and a reasonable opportunity to cure such infraction has elapsed
without remedying the infraction, by a vote of the Management Committee (with
such matter considered a Disqualified Matter on which the Member that is, or
whose Affiliate is, the Power Marketer shall have no vote) or (b) if said
individual dies, becomes incapacitated or ceases working for a Member or its
Affiliate.  In the event the Asset Manager's appointment is being terminated,
the Power Marketer shall provide the Company with a plan for succession and
orderly transition of the Asset Manager's responsibility so that at no point
will the Power Marketing Services be interrupted, including, in the event an
individual's appointment is terminated under clause (b) above, the temporary
appointment of a qualified individual (which shall not require Management
Committee approval)

-36-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

who shall undertake the Asset Manager's responsibility in the interim until the
Management Committee shall have approved a replacement Asset Manager.

                    7.1.6.  Standard of Conduct

.  The Power Marketer and its personnel (a) are and shall be fully experienced
and qualified to perform the Power Marketing Services; (b) shall perform the
Power Marketing Services in accordance with this Agreement and the Asset
Management Policy Manual, and in an effective and professional manner consistent
with the standards, skill, diligence and care that would be exercised by a
Person experienced in the power and gas marketing industry; (c) shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to discharge its and their duties under this
Agreement in a manner that will maximize net revenues to the Company within the
defined risk parameters as set forth by the Management Committee from time to
time in the Asset Management Policy Manual; and (d) in performing the Power

Power Marketer anticipates will be available each month after subtracting from
the Facility's total Capacity both the Capacity required to meet the Contracted
Energy Requirements and the Uncommitted Capacity (the "Available Swing

and the Available Swing Energy, and report such updates to the Management
Committee, on a monthly basis.

                    7.2.2.  Approval of Annual Plan

revised Annual Plan to the Management Committee, which addresses all of the
concerns raised by the Management Committee.  Within five (5) days after

mutually agreeable day during the first week of each of the following
Months:  February, May, and August, to consider any adjustments or modifications
to the Annual Plan necessary or desirable to achieve the objectives of
maximizing net revenue payable to the Company during the remaining portion of
the applicable January 1 through December 31 time period.

                    7.2.4.  Changes to Annual Plan

.  While the Management Committee and the Power Marketer shall meet periodically
in accordance with Section 7.2.3, any Representative of the Management Committee
or the Power Marketer shall be permitted, at any time and from time to time, to

approved Revenue Benchmarks or (b) to accurately forecast the Contracted Energy
Requirements, Uncommitted Capacity or Available Swing Energy in the Annual
Forecast, within the margins for accuracy established by the Management
Committee in the Asset Management Policy Manual, the Member who is not then the
Power Marketer (or whose Affiliate is not the Power Marketer) shall have the
right to designate itself or one of its Affiliates as Power Marketer.  Such
replacement Power Marketer shall assume all of the obligations of the Power
Marketer, including the obligations to (i) meet the net revenue goals
established by the most recently approved Revenue Benchmarks and (ii) accurately
forecast, within the margins for accuracy established by the Management
Committee in the Asset Management Policy Manual, the Contracted Energy
Requirements, Uncommitted Capacity and Available Swing Energy.  The replacing
Member shall provide the Power Marketer with two (2) Business Days' advance
notice of its removal for failure to meet the foregoing performance benchmarks,
and on the next Business Day, the replacing Member or its Affiliate shall assume
the former Power Marketer's trading responsibilities, and the replacing Member
or its Affiliate shall assume the Power Marketer's contract administration and
management functions as soon thereafter as practicable, but in no event later
than fourteen (14) days after the date of the notice (or, if the 14th day is not

event that Calpine is, or its Affiliate is, the then acting Power Marketer and
Calpine ceases to (a) own at least a fifty percent (50%) Ownership Interest or

right, upon two (2) days' prior notice to Calpine, to replace the then acting
Power Marketer designated by Calpine with a Person selected by Acadia Holdings,
and such action shall constitute a Disqualified Matter as to Calpine for all
purposes under this Agreement.  In the event neither Calpine nor Acadia Holdings
can satisfy the foregoing requirements, then the Power Marketer shall be
selected by a vote of the Management Committee.

                    7.4.3.  Upon Default

.  The Management Committee shall at all times have the right to replace the
Power Marketer in the event (a) the VAR analysis of the Asset Book reveals a VAR
measure for the aggregate open position of the Asset Book that exceeds the
limits set forth in the Asset Management Policy Manual, (b) the Power Marketer
(or its Asset Manager) enters into any contract outside any other risk parameter
established in the Asset Management Policy Manual from time to time or (c) the
Power Marketer (or its Asset Manager) fails to comply with any material
obligation under this Agreement or the Asset Management Policy Manual regarding
the Power Marketing Services, after notice to the Asset Manager and the Power
Marketer specifying the infraction and the actions to be taken to remedy the
same, and a reasonable opportunity to cure such infraction has elapsed without
remedying the infraction.  

-40-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or whose Affiliate is the then current Power Marketer.

          Section 7.5.  Fuel Supply by Members

that are capable of being transported to the Facility in an economical manner,
the Power Marketer and the Management Committee shall give special preference to
Affiliate Contract(s) proposed by such Member or its Affiliate for the sale of
such fuel reserves to the Company, provided that the proposed Affiliate
Contracts have terms at least as favorable to the Project as those available in
the market from unaffiliated third parties.

ARTICLE 8
ASSET OPTIMIZATION

          Section 8.1.  Asset Optimization Committee

.  The Members recognize and agree that from time to time opportunities may
arise which allow for a more efficient use or more profitable use of the Company
Assets to the benefit of the Company.  Such opportunities are often first
identified by field personnel and others engaged in the actual day to day
operations of the Project, including fuel procurement and the marketing of
Energy, Capacity or ancillary services, and the Company will benefit from an
orderly process by which ideas for asset optimization may be presented and
developed for consideration by the Management Committee.  In order to facilitate
the presentation and development of ideas for asset optimization the Company
shall establish an Asset Optimization Committee (the "AOC").

          Section 8.2.  AOC Participation

.  The AOC shall consist of one (1) representative of each Member, and a third
representative of the Member not then acting as the Power Marketer (each an "AOC
Rep"), each designated from time to time by such Member by notice to the other
Member.  By like notice, each Member shall also designate an alternate for its
AOC Rep(s) (each an "AOC Alternate") who shall have authority to act in the
absence of its AOC Rep(s).  An AOC Alternate may take the place of any of its
Member's AOC Rep(s) at a meeting of the AOC.  Other employees or agents of the
Members may also attend meetings.  Any Member may at any time, by prior notice
to the other Member, remove its AOC Rep(s) or AOC Alternate(s) and designate a
new AOC Rep(s) or AOC Alternate(s).  Each AOC Rep shall serve on the AOC until
his or her successor shall be duly designated or until his or her death,
resignation or removal by the Member that appointed him or her.  At least six
(6) months before the scheduled Commercial Operation Date each Member shall give
notice to the other of the name, business address and business telephone number
of its AOC Rep(s) and AOC Alternate(s) and promptly after any change, give
notice to the other of any change in the identity, business address or business
telephone of its AOC Rep(s) or AOC Alternate(s).  The AOC may adopt such rules
of order, by-laws and policy statements and directives as it considers necessary
or appropriate for the conduct of its business.  The AOC shall have no authority
to act on behalf of the Company or the Management Committee.  Its purpose is to
provide a forum for the presentation of proposals for asset optimization, to
consider which if any proposals should be considered by the Management
Committee, and to assist in the development of such proposals for presentation
to and consideration by the Management Committee.  No proposal for asset
optimization shall be acted upon without prior approval by the Management
Committee.

-41-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          Section 8.3.  AOC Meetings.

                    8.3.1.  Regular Meetings

Manager, as applicable.

                    8.3.3.  Telephonic Meetings Permitted

.  AOC Reps and AOC Alternates may participate in a meeting of the AOC by means
of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which
all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such
participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

          Section 8.4.  Chairman

.  The Member that is not the Power Marketer shall designate one (1) of its two
(2) AOC Reps as the chairman of the AOC (the "AOC Chair") for each meeting of
the AOC.  The AOC Chair shall provide notice to each AOC Rep stating the place,
date and hour of each meeting of the AOC, together with an agenda for the
meeting, not less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting (unless such
notice is waived by each Member's AOC Rep and/or AOC Alternate either at the
meeting or by written consent).  At least five (5) days before each meeting (or
if the meeting is called on shorter notice, as far in advance as is practicable
under the circumstances), detailed information on the matters to be considered
by the AOC will be provided to each AOC Rep and AOC Alternate.  The AOC Chair or
any AOC Rep or AOC Alternate may invite additional attendees to meetings of the
AOC.  Such attendees, who shall be identified at the commencement of such
meeting, shall have no power to vote on any matters but may participate in
discussions in accordance with the AOC's rules of order.

          Section 8.5.  Vote Required for Action

.  The AOC shall consider each proposal for asset optimization and assist in
further developing the proposal for submission to the Management Committee.  The
AOC shall determine, by majority vote, when a proposal is fully developed and
ready to be submitted to the Management Committee.  It is the purpose and goal
of the AOC to expedite the consideration and development of proposals for asset
optimization.  The AOC shall, therefore, act at all times with the intent of
expediting and facilitating the process of consideration and development.

          Section 8.6.  Compensation

.  AOC Reps and AOC Alternates shall not be entitled to any compensation for
their services as members of the AOC.

          Section 8.7.  Right to Present Matters to Management Committee

.  The provisions of this Article 8 shall not be construed to preclude either
Member from presenting any matter to the Management Committee for consideration
and action, notwithstanding that the AOC may have determined not to submit such
matter to the Management Committee.  However, if a Member presents to the
Management Committee a matter that the AOC has determined not to submit to the
Management Committee, such Member shall disclose that fact to the Management
Committee when the matter is presented.

by taking the actions set forth in Section 15.2.  If the Management Committee
does not agree on a course of action within such sixty (60) day period, then
within a thirty (30) day period following the end of the sixty (60) day period,
the Member desiring to rebuild the Facility shall have the right to purchase the
Ownership Interest of the other Member at a Purchase Price determined pursuant
to the procedures set forth in Section 22.17.  If neither Member has exercised
such right within the thirty (30) day period, then either Member may initiate
the Windup Events by notice to the other Member.

                    10.2.2.  Proceeds and Deductibles upon Termination

.  If the Company is dissolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2.1,
Insurance Proceeds, if any, payable in respect of such damage or destruction
shall nonetheless be deposited into the Project Account prior to the Termination
Date.  If one Member is to acquire the other Member's Ownership Interest
pursuant to Section 10.2.1, then the Insurance Proceeds, if any, payable in
respect of such damage or destruction shall be deposited in the Project Account

the Ownership Interests upon payment of the Purchase Price), subject to the
provisions of the Financing Documents.

the Facility or the Facility Site shall be taken in any Condemnation Action (or
conveyed in lieu of any such Condemnation Action), other than for a temporary

in Treasury Regulation &sect; 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be applied and interpreted
consistently therewith.

          Section 13.7.  Qualified Income Offset

.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation, or
distribution described in Treasury Regulation &sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
Treasury Regulation &sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or Treasury Regulation
&sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company gross income and gain for such
Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) shall be specially
allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate,
to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit balance in the
Adjusted Capital Account of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 13.7 shall be made only if and to the extent
that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit after all other
allocations provided for in this Article 13 have been tentatively made as if
this Section 13.7 were not in this Agreement.  This Section 13.7 is intended to
constitute a "qualified income offset" provision within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation &sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

          Section 13.8.  Excess Losses

.  In no event shall Losses of the Company be allocated to a Member if such
allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit of such
Member.  All Losses of the Company in excess of the limitation set forth in this
Section 13.8 shall be allocated to the Members that have positive balances in
their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion to such positive balances, but
only to the extent that the Losses do not cause any Member to have a deficit
balance in its Adjusted Capital Account while any other Member has a positive
balance in its Adjusted Capital Account.

          Section 13.9.  Member Nonrecourse Deductions

.  Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially
allocated to the Member or Members who bear the economic risk of loss with
respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation
&sect; 1.704-2(b) and Treasury Regulation &sect; 1.704-2(i)(1).

          Section 13.10.  Nonrecourse Deductions

.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to
the Members in proportion to their respective Ownership Interests.

          Section 13.11.  Curative Allocations

.  The allocations set forth in Sections 13.5 through 13.10 (the "Regulatory
Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury
Regulations &sect;&sect; 1.704-1 and 1.704-2.  It is the intent of the Members
that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either
with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of
Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Article 13.  Therefore,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 13 (other than the
Regulatory Allocations), the Members shall make such offsetting special
allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner they
determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each
Member's Capital Account balance is, to the extent

-47-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the
Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement. Any such allocation
shall be made by taking into account future Regulatory Allocations that,
although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made.

          Section 13.12.  Code &sect; 754 Adjustments

.  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Asset
pursuant to Code &sect; 734(b) or Code &sect; 743(b) is required pursuant to
Treasury Regulation &sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulation
&sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of
its Interest, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated
as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss
(if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be
specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Ownership Interests
in the event Treasury Regulation &sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to
the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulation
&sect; 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

          Section 13.13.  Other Allocation Rules

.

          (a)  Profits, Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss or
deduction shall be allocated to the Members pursuant to this Article 13 as of
the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided that Profits, Losses and such other
items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of Company
Property are adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross
Asset Value herein.

          (b)  For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other
items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall
be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by all of the
Members using any permissible method under Code &sect; 706 and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.

          (c)  All allocations to the Members as a group pursuant to this
Article 13 shall, except as otherwise provided, be divided among them according
to their respective Ownership Interests at the time of such allocations.

          (d)  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of
Company income, gain, loss, deduction and any other allocations not otherwise
provided for shall be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they
share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for such Fiscal Year.

          (e)  To the extent permitted by the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations, tax credits, if any, shall be allocated among the Members according
to their respective Ownership Interests at the time of such allocation.

          (f)  The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the
allocations made by this Article 13 and agree to be bound by the provisions of
this Article 13 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income
tax purposes.

-48-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          Section 13.14.  Code &sect; 704(c) Allocations

.  In accordance with Code &sect; 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property
contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be
allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the
adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes
and its initial Gross Asset Value using an allocation method pursuant to Code
&sect; 704(c) as selected by the Management Committee; and if the Members are
unable to agree on a method, then the traditional method, subject to the ceiling
rule provided in Treasury Regulation &sect; 1.704-3(b), shall be utilized.  In
the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company Asset is adjusted as required by
the definition of "Gross Asset Value" contained in Appendix A, subsequent
allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall
take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for
federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as
under Code &sect; 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Allocations
pursuant to this Section 13.14 are solely for purposes of Taxes and shall not
affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital
Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to
any provision of this Agreement.  Any elections or other decisions relating to
such allocations shall be made by the Management Committee.

          Section 13.15.  Special Calpine Allocations

.  All Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the
Company (after giving effect to the special and curative allocations set forth
in Sections 13.5 through 13.12) that are attributable to the termination
effected by the Aquila Termination Agreement and receipt by the Company of the
Aquila Termination Fee shall be specially allocated to Calpine.

ARTICLE 14
DISPOSAL OF INTERESTS

          Section 14.1.  Disposition by Members

.  Any Disposition by any Member of all or part of its Ownership Interest to any
Person other than a Controlled Affiliate of the Disposer shall be made only upon
the prior written consent of the other Member, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in no event may any Member dispose of all or any part
of its Ownership Interest to a Controlled Affiliate or any other Person if as a
consequence thereof the Company shall (a) lose its status as an Exempt Wholesale
Generator (as defined by FERC) or any comparable status under then Applicable
Law, or (b) otherwise become subject to any Applicable Law to which it was not
previously subject and which would result in any material increase in its costs
of operation or decrease in its operating flexibility.

          Section 14.2.  Right of First Refusal

.  If any Member desires to Dispose of all or part of its Ownership Interest to
any Person, it may do so only after the following conditions have been met. The
proposed Disposer must have received a bona fide third party written offer to
Dispose of its Ownership Interest that the Disposer is able and willing to
accept (the "Third Party Offer").  The proposed Disposer must notify the other
Member in writing of the Third Party Offer and, if such Third Party Offer
includes non-cash consideration, the proposed Disposer shall also furnish its
reasonable good faith estimate of the Fair Market Value of such non-cash
consideration.  A copy of the Third Party Offer must accompany this notice to
the other Member.  Upon receipt of

-49-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the proposed Disposer's notice of a Third Party Offer, the other Member shall
have the right to purchase the same portion of the Disposer's Ownership Interest
as was proposed to be acquired in the Third Party Offer for the price and upon
the terms of such Third Party Offer (including cash in an amount equivalent to
the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration included in the Third Party
Offer).  Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the proposed Disposer's
notice of the Third Party Offer, the other Member may exercise this right by
delivering a written notice to the Disposer of such Member's intent to purchase
said portion of the Disposer's Ownership Interest.  If the other Member does not
notify the proposed Disposer of its intent to purchase the applicable portion of
the Disposer's Membership Interest, in writing, within thirty (30) days of
receiving the Disposer's notice of the Third Party Offer, the proposed Disposer
shall be free to Dispose of the applicable portion of its Ownership Interest to
such third party, but only if all of the following conditions are met:

          (a)  The price and terms of the Disposition must be the same as, or
more favorable to, the proposed Disposer than the Third Party Offer;

          (b)  The Disposition must be consummated within four (4) months of the
date the other Member received the notice of the Third Party Offer; and

          (c)  The other Member must consent to the identity of the Disposee,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If a
Member contemplates Disposing of all or any part of its Ownership Interest in
the future, then such proposed Disposer may request the other Member to give
advance consent to the identity of the proposed transferee(s).  If the other
Member gives its advance consent to one or more proposed transferee(s), such
consent shall be effective for a period of one (1) year from the date given, and
the other Member may not revoke its consent to the identity of such proposed
transferee(s) during this period.

          Section 14.3.  Further Requirements.

          (a)  Any Disposition or Encumbrance of an Ownership Interest or a part
thereof by a Member must comply with any applicable provisions of the Financing
Documents, the Project Agreements and any other agreement to which the Company
is a party.

          (b)  In the case of a Disposition, the Disposee must execute and
deliver to the Company, and to the other Member, a written instrument in form
and substance acceptable to the Company's counsel containing, among any other
reasonable and usual terms required by the Company's counsel, an acknowledgement
by the Disposee that it has accepted and assumed all of the terms of this
Agreement (including the terms of this Article 14) and has, subject to
Section 14.5, become a Member of the Company.

          (c)  If, as a result of the proposed Disposition, there will be more
than two (2) Members of the Company, all the existing and intended Members
following such Disposition must have mutually agreed to an amendment to this
Agreement to account for ownership by more than two Members.

-50-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (d)  The Disposer or proposed Disposer shall reimburse the Company and
the other Member (or cause them to be reimbursed) for any and all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Company or the other Member in connection with
complying with the provisions of this Section 14.3 and otherwise in connection
with the Disposition or proposed Disposition.

          Section 14.4.  Equitable Relief

.  A Member may not Dispose of or Encumber all or any portion of its Ownership
Interest except in strict accordance with this Article 14.  Any attempted
Disposition or Encumbrance of all or any portion of an Ownership Interest, other
than in strict accordance with this Article 14, shall be and is hereby declared
null and void ab initio.  The Members agree that breach of the provisions of
this Article 14 may cause irreparable injury to the Company and the Members for
which monetary damages (or other remedy at law) are inadequate in view of (a)
the complexities and uncertainties in measuring actual damages that would be
sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with such provisions,
and (b) the uniqueness of the Company's business and the relationship among the
Members.  Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Article 14
may be enforced by specific performance.  The Members acknowledge that the
Disposition or Encumbrance of Ownership Interests may be subject to further
restrictions imposed by the terms of the Project Agreements or the Financing
Documents.

          Section 14.5.  Disposee to Become Member

.  Upon all conditions to the Disposition being satisfied, and, upon obtaining
the required consent therefor from the Members as set forth in Section 14.1, the
Disposee of a Disposition shall become a Member.

          Section 14.6.  Sales of Interest in a Member

.

                    14.6.1.  Notice; Option to Buy Ownership Interest

.  Calpine warrants and represents to Acadia Holdings that it is an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Calpine Parent, and Acadia Holdings warrants and
represents to Calpine that it is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Cleco.  Calpine and Acadia Holdings each acknowledge and agree that they have
entered into this Agreement in consideration of the fact that Calpine is a
Controlled Affiliate of Calpine Parent and Acadia Holdings is a Controlled
Affiliate of Cleco and in light of the benefits that those relationships may
bring to the Company.  Consequently, it is agreed by the Members that (a) should
there ever be a Disposition of an interest in Acadia Holdings, or in any entity
(other than Cleco) that directly or indirectly owns a beneficial interest in
Acadia Holdings, and following such Disposition, Acadia Holdings is not a
Controlled Affiliate of Cleco or (b) should there ever be a Disposition of an
interest in Calpine, or in any entity (other than Calpine Parent) that directly
or indirectly owns an interest in Calpine, and following such Disposition,
Calpine is not a Controlled Affiliate of Calpine Parent, the affected Member
shall provide prior notice of such Disposition to the other Member.  Such notice
shall specify the identity of the proposed Disposee and describe the nature of
the transaction in which such Disposition is to occur (or be accompanied by a
draft copy of the instrument(s) by which the Disposition is to occur).  Except
as provided in Section 14.6.2, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such
notice, the Member receiving such notice shall have the right to purchase the
Ownership Interest of the other Member at a Purchase Price determined in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 22.17.

-51-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                    14.6.2.  No Option for Minority Member

.  If the Member entitled to notice of a proposed Disposition under
Section 14.6.1 is no longer a Controlled Affiliate, such Member shall not have
the right to purchase the Ownership Interest of the Member that will be affected
by the proposed Disposition.

ARTICLE 15
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

          Section 15.1.  Events of Dissolution

.  The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up:

          (a)  Upon the expiration of the Term of the Company as set forth in
Section 2.9;

          (b)  Upon the decision of the Management Committee;

          (c)  Upon the election of either Member following the failure of each
Member to exercise its right to acquire the Ownership Interest of the other
Member in accordance with Section 10.2.1;

          (d)  Upon the election of either Member following a Condemnation
Action affecting the whole or substantially all of the Facility or the Facility
Site in accordance with Section 11.1;

          (e)  Upon Acadia Holdings' election under Section 3.2.4 or otherwise
as provided for in Section 3.2.4;

          (f)  Upon the election of a Non-Electing Member following receipt of
an Opt-Out Notice in accordance with Section 3.4;

          (g)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 18.1 and
the election of the Non-Defaulting Party to trigger the Windup Events pursuant
to Section 18.2; or

          (h)  Upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to
Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.

          Section 15.2.  Winding Up.

                    15.2.1.  Windup Events

.  Upon dissolution of the Company, the Company shall continue its existence
solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs.  The "Windup Events" shall
consist of the following actions:

          (a)  The Management Committee shall terminate all Project Agreements
in accordance with the terms thereof;

          (b)  The Management Committee or, if the Members unanimously agree to
appoint a liquidating trustee, the liquidating trustee (the Management Committee
or such

-52-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

liquidating trustee, as the case may be, being referred to herein as the
"Liquidator"), shall (i) timely dispose of the salvageable Company Assets by
sale, auction, partition or in-kind distribution, in the Liquidator's discretion
(except as to the matters provided for in Section 15.2.3 as to which the
Liquidator has no discretion), (ii) deposit any proceeds of the disposition in
the Project Account, (iii) undertake other necessary steps for the winding up of
the Project, including disbursement of any balance remaining in the Project
Account and the Capital Expense Account after the payment of all indebtedness of
the Company; and (iv) notify the Management Committee when such actions have
been completed; and

          (c)  Upon receipt of notice that the winding up activities have been
completed, and verification of same by the Management Committee, the Management
Committee shall terminate this Agreement and the Definitive Agreements, and the
parties hereto and thereto shall be released from and shall have no obligation
hereunder or under the Definitive Agreements to which they were parties arising
on and after the Termination Date, except for such obligations that expressly
survive the termination hereof or thereof.

                    15.2.2.  Liquidator's Duties

.  The winding up process shall be carried out at the direction of the
Liquidator.  In winding up the Company's affairs, every effort shall then be
made to dispose of the Company Assets in an orderly manner, having regard to the
liquidity, divisibility and marketability of the Company Assets and consistent
with the considerations set forth in Section 15.3.  If the Liquidator determines
in its discretion (except as to the matters provided for in Section 15.2.3 as to
which the Liquidator has no discretion) that it would be imprudent to dispose of
any non-cash Company Assets by sale or auction, the Liquidator may distribute
such assets in kind to the Members, in lieu of cash, proportionately to their
rights to receive cash distributions hereunder.  The Liquidator shall not be
entitled to be paid by the Company any fee for services rendered in connection
with the liquidation of the Company, but shall be reimbursed by the Company for
all third party costs and expenses incurred by it in connection therewith and
shall be indemnified by the Company with respect to any action brought against
it in connection therewith by applying, mutatis mutandis, the provisions of
Article 17.

                    15.2.3.  In-Kind Distribution of Contributed Assets

.  Should the event resulting in the commencement of the Windup Events occur
prior to the earlier of Financial Closing and the date that the last of the four
(4) combustion turbine generators is delivered to the Facility Site:

          (a)  Provided that Calpine is not a Defaulting Party whose Event of
Default resulted in the commencement of the Windup Events, at Calpine's election
in its sole discretion (and the Liquidator shall have no discretion with respect
thereto), upon commencement of the Windup Events, the Liquidator shall either
convey the combustion turbine generators to Calpine or cause the Company to
assign the Combustion Turbine Purchase Contract to Calpine if the combustion
turbine generators have not yet been acquired by the Company; and

-53-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (b)  Except as otherwise provided under Section 15.2.3(a), provided
that the Member is not a Defaulting Party whose Event of Default resulted in the
commencement of the Windup Events, at each Member's election in its sole
discretion (and the Liquidator shall have no discretion with respect thereto),
upon commencement of the Windup Events, the Liquidator shall convey to each
electing Member the following assets in kind:

          (i)  Those assets selected by such Member from among the assets it
contributed to the Company; and

          (ii)  After each electing Member makes its selection under clause (i)
of this Section 15.2.3(b), the remaining Company Assets selected by such Member
(which may include any remaining assets contributed to the Company by the other
Member).

In the case of the Liquidator's distribution of assets in-kind under
Section 15.2.2 or a Member's election to receive an in-kind distribution of
assets under this Section 15.2.3, such assets shall be valued at their Gross
Asset Value.  In the event a Member elects to receive assets in-kind pursuant to
this Section 15.2.3 and, as a result, there are insufficient assets remaining in
the Company to allow a Pro Rata cash distribution to the other Member, the
Member who has elected to receive assets in kind (or if both, the Member
receiving the assets with the greater Gross Asset Value) shall contribute such
cash to the Project Account as is necessary so that the Liquidator may make a
Pro Rata cash distribution to the other Member in accordance with Section 15.5.

                    15.2.4.  Reimbursement for Third Party Expenses

.  In the event the Windup Events are commenced prior to the date on which the
assets listed on Appendix B have been contributed to the Company pursuant to
Section 3.2.2, with respect to the assets each Member would have contributed,
each such Member shall be considered a creditor of the Company for the total
amount of the Third Party Expenses incurred by it or its Affiliates in
connection with acquiring such assets on or before the date the Windup Events
commence, and each such Member shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor by
the Company pursuant to clause (a) of Section 15.5.  In the event the Company is
required to reimburse a Member under this Section 15.2.4 but there are
insufficient assets remaining in the Company in order to make such payment, the
other Member shall contribute such cash to the Project Account as is necessary
so that the Liquidator may reimburse the Member entitled to reimbursement for
Third Party Expenses hereunder.

          Section 15.3.  Objective of Winding Up

.  In winding up the business of the Company, the Liquidator shall wind up the
Company in an orderly and prudent manner consistent with the Company's
then-existing obligations, with the goals of fulfilling the Company's
contractual obligations, protecting customer goodwill and assuring customer
service, limiting any residual liability to the Members and effecting a division
of Company Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

-54-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          Section 15.4.  Effect of a Member's Bankruptcy

.  The occurrence of the Bankruptcy of a Member shall not cause a Member to
cease to be a Member of the Company, and, except as expressly provided in
Section 18.2(b), upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the
Company shall be continued without dissolution.

          Section 15.5.  Application and Distribution of Company Assets

.  The Company Assets in winding up shall be applied or distributed as follows:

          (a)  first, to creditors of the Company (including Members that are
creditors), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for the
payment thereof, and including any contingent, conditional and unmatured
liabilities of the Company, taking into account the relative priorities thereof;

          (b)  second, to the members in accordance with their positive Capital
Accounts until all such Capital Accounts equal zero; and

          (c)  any remaining amounts Pro Rata to the Members.

A reasonable reserve for contingent, conditional and unmatured liabilities in
connection with the winding up of the business of the Company shall be retained
by the Company until such winding up is completed or such reserve is otherwise
deemed no longer necessary by the Liquidator.

          Section 15.6.  Capital Account Adjustment

.  For purposes of determining a Member's Capital Account, if, on liquidation
and dissolution of the Company, some or all of the Company Assets are
distributed to the Members in kind, Company Profits (or Losses) shall be
increased by the Profits (or Losses) that would have been realized had such
assets been sold for their respective Fair Market Values on the date of
dissolution of the Company, as determined by the Liquidator.  Any such increase
pursuant to the preceding sentence:  (a) shall be allocated to the Members in
accordance with Article 13; and (b) shall increase (or decrease) the Members'
Capital Account balance accordingly.

          Section 15.7.  Termination of the Company

.  The Company's existence shall terminate when all Company Assets, after
payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the
Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for
in this Article 15, and the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled in
the manner required by the Delaware Act.

          Section 15.8.  Deficit Capital Accounts

.  Except as provided in Section 15.2.3 and Section 15.2.4 and in the last
sentence of this Section 15.8, if any Member has a deficit balance in its
Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and
allocations for all Fiscal Years, including the Fiscal Year during which the
liquidation of the Company occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make
any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and
such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other
Person for any purpose whatsoever.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, if Acadia Holdings receives an amount of Priority Distributions
during the Fiscal Year in which liquidation of the Company occurs that exceeds
the amount of Priority Distributions to which Acadia Holdings is entitled for
such Fiscal Year, taking into account the

-55-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

proportionate reduction in the Priority Amount for the Fiscal Year in which
liquidation occurs (as provided for in the definition of "Priority Amount" set
forth in Appendix A), Acadia Holdings shall return such excess Priority
Distributions to the Company prior to distribution of the Company Assets in
accordance with Section 15.5.

ARTICLE 16
TAXES

          Section 16.1.  Tax Matters Partner

.  The Management Committee hereby designates Calpine as the "tax matters
partner" of the Company pursuant to Code &sect; 6231(a)(7) (the "Tax Matters
Partner"), provided, however, that if (i) there occurs an Event of Default (as
defined in the 2001 PPA or the 2003 PPA) by Calpine Energy, or any successor or
assignee to Calpine Energy under the 2001 PPA or the 2003 PPA that is an

necessary Tax returns and reports for the Company, including making the

filed. The Tax Matters Partner shall furnish to the other Member within ninety
(90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year all Tax reporting information and
such additional information as the other Member shall reasonably request for
purposes of preparing any income tax return of such Member or any of its
Affiliates.  The other Member shall furnish to the Tax Matters Partner all
pertinent information in its possession or that can reasonably be obtained
relating to Company operations that is necessary to enable the Company's Tax
returns and reports to be prepared and timely filed.

          Section 16.3.  Tax Elections

.  The Tax Matters Partner shall make the following elections for the Company on
the appropriate tax returns:

          (a)  To adopt the calendar year as the Company's Fiscal Year;

          (b)  To adopt the accrual method of accounting applied in a consistent
manner for purposes of maintaining the Company's books and records and for

liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Covered Person.

          Section 17.2.  Exculpation

.

          (a)  No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other

duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this
Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for
its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.  The provisions of
this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a
Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members

          (b)  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever a conflict
of interest exists or arises between Covered Persons, or whenever this Agreement
or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that a Covered Person shall

interest, taking such action or providing such terms, considering in each case

in equity or otherwise.

no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors
affecting the Company or any other Person, or (ii) in its "good faith" or under
another express standard, the Covered Person shall act under such express

willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions, provided that any

any Law, whether now existing or subsequently enacted or amended, for the relief
of debtors wherein such Member is seeking relief as a debtor;

          (c)  A general assignment by a Member for the benefit of creditors;

          (d)  The institution by a Member of a case or other proceeding as a

any section or chapter of the federal Bankruptcy Code or other bankruptcy or
insolvency Law as now existing or hereafter amended or becoming effective, which
proceeding is not dismissed, stayed or discharged within a period of sixty (60)
days after the filing thereof or, if stayed, which stay is thereafter lifted
without a contemporaneous discharge or dismissal of such proceeding;

          (f)  The appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, trustee or
like officer, to take possession of assets of a Member having a value in excess
of $1,000,000 if the pendency of said receivership would reasonably tend to have
a materially adverse effect upon the performance by said Member of its
obligations under this Agreement, which receivership remains undischarged for a
period of ninety (90) days from the date of its imposition;

          (g)  The admission by a Member in writing of its inability to pay its

-59-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

after the levy thereof, if the occurrence of such attachment, execution or other
judicial seizure would reasonably tend to have a materially adverse effect upon
the performance by such Member of its obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that such an attachment, execution or seizure shall not
constitute an Event of Default hereunder if such Member posts a bond sufficient
to fully satisfy the amount of such claim or judgment within fifteen (15) days
after the levy thereof and the Member's assets are thereby released from the
lien of such attachment;

          (i)  Fraud by a Member which relates to the Company or the Members; or

          (j)  The occurrence of a Contribution Default and/or breach of any
guarantee provided by such Member or its Affiliate in connection with any
Capital Contribution;

shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder on the part
of the Member with respect to whom such event occurs ("Defaulting Party") if,
within thirty (30) days following notice of any non-monetary default, and if,
within ten (10) days following notice of default due to the non-payment of
monies due hereunder the Defaulting Party fails to pay such monies, or in the
case of non-monetary defaults which can be cured, fails to commence substantial
efforts to cure such default or, having commenced to cure, thereafter fails
within a reasonable time to prosecute to completion with diligence and
continuity the curing of such default; provided, however, that the occurrence of
any of the events described in Sections 18.1(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h)
above shall constitute an Event of Default immediately upon such occurrence
without any requirement of notice or passage of time except as specifically set
forth in any such subsection.

          Section 18.2.  Remedies of Non-Defaulting Member

.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the non-defaulting Member (the
"Non-Defaulting Party") may, at its option, pursue any one or more of the
following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever other than any notice
expressly provided for in this Agreement, as its sole and exclusive remedy(ies)
for any such Event of Default:

          (a)  The Non-Defaulting Party may recover for deposit into the Project
Account all amounts due and payable by the Defaulting Party into the Project
Account under this Agreement, regardless whether the Non-Defaulting Party has
exercised any of its termination rights hereunder with respect to such Event of
Default;

          (b)  The Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, subject to the
notice and cure and other provisions of Section 18.3, to dissolve the Company
and trigger the Windup Events; and

          (c)  The Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right to acquire all (but
not less than all) of the Ownership Interest of the Defaulting Party in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 22.17, except that the
Purchase Price shall be the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Party's
Ownership Interest minus an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of such Fair
Market Value as liquidated damages, it being agreed by the Members that such
liquidated damages (i) have been negotiated and agreed upon because actual
damages resulting from an Event of Default will be difficult or impossible to
calculate

-60-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

with reasonable certainty, (ii) are not a penalty, and (iii) will be applicable
regardless of the actual damages sustained by the Non-Defaulting Party.

          Section 18.3.  Notice; Termination

.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, before the exercise of either
remedy provided for in Sections 18.2(b) or 18.2(c), the Non-Defaulting Party
shall give to the Defaulting Party and the Management Committee notice (a "Final
Notice") of the Non-Defaulting Party's intention to exercise one of such
remedies after the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days from the date such
Final Notice is delivered (the "Default Cure Period") unless the Event of
Default is cured.  Upon expiration of the Default Cure Period, if the Event of
Default is not cured, (a) the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to the
remedy specified in the Final Notice, i.e., either the Defaulting Party shall
sell its Ownership Interest to the Non-Defaulting Member in accordance with
Section 18.2(c) or the Company shall be dissolved and the Windup Events shall be
undertaken by the Non-Defaulting Party in accordance with Section 18.2(b) and as
provided in Section 18.4, and (b) the Non-Defaulting Party shall take such steps
as needed to effectuate such remedy (or demand that the Defaulting Party or the
Company, as the case may be, take such actions as it or they are required to
take to effectuate such remedy).  If, however, within the Default Cure Period,
the Defaulting Party cures such Event of Default, then the Non-Defaulting Member
shall not be entitled to the remedy specified in such Final Notice.  If any
Dispute or Controversy relating to the Event of Default is submitted to binding
arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 20.2 and Appendix D,
the Default Cure Period shall be extended until the arbitrator has rendered its
final decision regarding the Dispute or Controversy.  Should the arbitrator
determine that an Event of Default has occurred and such Event of Default has
not been cured as of the date of the arbitrator's decision, the Defaulting Party
shall have no further opportunity to cure the Event of Default and the
Non-Defaulting Party shall be immediately entitled to the remedy it elected
under Sections 18.2(b) or 18.2(c).

          Section 18.4.  No Pursuit of Project

.  If the Non-Defaulting Party elects to dissolve the Company and windup the
Project rather than purchase the Ownership Interest of the Defaulting Party, the
Windup Events shall commence, provided that, all actions that would be conducted
by the Management Committee with respect thereto will be conducted by the
Non-Defaulting Party in accordance with Article 15.

          Section 18.5.  Defaulting Party's Loss of Representation and Voting
Rights

.  Should a Defaulting Party fail to cure any Event of Default prior to the end
of the Default Cure Period, the Non-Defaulting Party shall, from and after the
end of the Default Cure Period, have the right to appoint all of the
Representatives and Alternates to the Management Committee and the Chairman, and
the Defaulting Party shall not be entitled to vote on any matters brought before
the Management Committee for consideration.

          Section 18.6.  Interest on Overdue Obligations and Post-Judgment
Interest

.  If any sum due hereunder is not paid by the due date thereof, the Member
owing such obligation shall pay to the other Member interest thereon at the
Default Rate concurrently with the payment of the amount, such interest to begin
to accrue as of the date such payment was originally due and payable.  Any
payment of such interest at the Default Rate pursuant to this Agreement shall
not excuse or cure any Event of Default hereunder.  All payments shall first be
applied to the

-61-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

payment of accrued but unpaid interest.  The amount of any judgment or
arbitration award obtained by one Member against the other Member in any Action
or Proceeding arising out of an Event of Default by such other Member under this
Agreement shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

          Section 18.7.  No Waivers

.  No failure or delay of any Member, in any one or more instances, (a) in
exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or (b) in insisting
upon the strict performance by the other Member of such other Member's
covenants, obligations or agreements under this Agreement, shall operate as a
waiver, discharge or invalidation thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or remedy or insistence on strict performance,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or
remedy or to enforce strict performance, preclude any other or future exercise
thereof or insistence thereupon or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy.  The covenants, obligations, and agreements of a defaulting Member and
the rights and remedies of the other Member upon a default or Event of Default
shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any
subsequent breach, act or omission.

.  In the event one Member has the right to acquire the Ownership Interest of
the other Member pursuant to Section 2.9, Section 10.2.1, Section 14.6.1 or

provide notice (the "Offer") of the exercise of such right or option to the
other Member (the "Conveying Member") within the time period required pursuant
to the relevant Section.

          (a)  In the Offer, the Acquiring Member shall state the price that it
is willing to pay as the Purchase Price for the other Member's Ownership
Interest.  The Conveying Member, within thirty (30) days following receipt of
such notice, shall state in writing (the "Response") whether or not it accepts
such amount as the Purchase Price.  If the Members do not agree on the Purchase
Price within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Response by the Acquiring
Member, then each Member shall designate a qualified appraiser within fifteen
(15) days from the expiration of the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period.  A
qualified appraiser shall be an appraiser with at least five (5) years
experience in the appraisal of properties similar to the Facility.  Each
appraiser shall be directed to determine the Fair Market Value of the Conveying
Member's Ownership Interest within thirty (30) days of his appointment and to
notify each Member of his determination.  If the lower of the two determinations
is not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the higher of the two
determinations, then the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two
determinations.  If the lower of the two determinations is less than ninety-five
percent (95%) of the higher of the two determinations, then the two appraisers
shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, appoint a third appraiser with
similar qualifications (who shall not have performed any work for either Member
within the five (5) year period prior to his or her appointment) and shall each
furnish to such appraiser a written report of his or her respective
determination.  Within thirty (30) days of his appointment, the third appraiser
shall select the Fair Market Value of one or the other of the appraisers
appointed by the Members and shall notify each Member of his determination,
which shall be binding upon the Members.  The third appraiser must select one of
the two appraisals and shall not have the right to establish a different Fair
Market Value determination.  Each Member shall bear the cost of the appraiser
appointed by it, and they shall share equally the cost of the third appraiser.

          (b)  Within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the final
determination of Fair Market Value as provided in paragraph (a) above, the
Acquiring Member shall either (i) pay to the Conveying Member the Purchase Price
by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) notify the Conveying
Member that it no longer desires to purchase the Ownership Interest of the
Conveying Member, in which case (1) in the event these procedures were initiated
pursuant to Section 2.9, the provisions of Section 2.9(d) will control as if the
Members had not decided in a course of action and neither had exercised its
right to purchase the Ownership Interest of the other; (2) in the event these
procedures were initiated pursuant to Section 14.6, the provisions of
Section 14.6 will control as if the Member had not exercised its right to
purchase the Ownership Interest of the other; (3) in the event these procedures
were initiated pursuant to Section 10.2.1, the last sentence of Section 10.2.1
shall control as if neither Member had exercised its right to purchase the
Ownership Interest of the other; and (4) in the event these procedures were
initiated pursuant to Section 18.2(c), the Non-Defaulting Party may either
rescind its Final Notice and elect to continue the Company or exercise its
remedy under Section 18.2(b) without delivering an additional Final Notice (and
in the latter event, the provisions of Section 18.4 shall be put into
effect).  Concurrent with the payment of the Purchase Price, the Conveying
Member shall deliver

by the Acquiring Member; provided, however, that no representations shall be

Conveying Member has the right, power and authority to convey the Ownership
Interest and that the Ownership Interest is transferred free and clear of all
liens.

conducted in accordance with the following procedures:

          (a)  The Member seeking arbitration shall request such arbitration in
writing, which writing shall be delivered to the other Member and include a
clear statement of the matter(s) in dispute. Except to the extent provided in
this Appendix D, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single
arbitrator to be appointed as follows: (i) upon the issuance and receipt of a
request for arbitration, the requesting and receiving Member shall each
designate a representative for the sole purpose of selecting, by mutual
agreement with the other Member's designated representative, the individual who
shall arbitrate the Dispute or Controversy referred to arbitration hereunder;
(ii) within twenty (20) days of their appointment, the two representatives shall
designate a third individual who shall be the arbitrator to conduct the
arbitration of the Dispute or Controversy; and (iii) said individual shall be
qualified to arbitrate the Dispute or Controversy referred to arbitration
hereunder and have a schedule that permits him or her to serve as arbitrator
within the time periods set forth herein.  In order to facilitate any such
appointment, the Member seeking arbitration shall submit a brief description (no
longer than two (2) pages) of the Dispute or Controversy to the other
Member.  In the event the Members' two representatives do not agree on a single
arbitrator of the Dispute or Controversy within the twenty (20) day period, then
the arbitrator shall be appointed by the then-serving senior judge of the
federal district court for the Southern District of New York or any successor
thereto within the next ten (10) day period.  The Member seeking arbitration
shall request the appointment of an arbitrator and furnish a copy of the
aforesaid description of the Dispute or Controversy to said judge.  Each Member
may, but shall not be required to, submit to said judge a list of up to three
(3) qualified individuals as candidates for appointment as the arbitrator whose
schedules permit their service as arbitrator within the time periods set forth
herein.  The arbitrator appointed by the judge need not be from such lists.

          (b)  Within thirty (30) days of the date the arbitrator is appointed,
the arbitrator shall notify the Members of the date of the arbitration hearing,
which hearing date shall be not more than sixty (60) days from the date of the
arbitrator's appointment.  The arbitration hearing shall be held in New York
City, New York.

          (c)  Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope
thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrator consistent with the expedited
nature of arbitration.  (The arbitrator may hold a preliminary hearing to
establish the extent of and schedule for the production of such documents and
other information and the identification of any witnesses to be called.) All
discovery shall be completed within forty-five (45) days following the
appointment of the arbitrator.

          (d)  The arbitrator shall issue a final ruling within thirty (30) days
after the arbitration hearing.  Any decision of the arbitrator shall state the
basis of the award and shall include both findings of fact and conclusions of
law.  Any award rendered pursuant to the foregoing, which may include an award
or decree of specific performance hereunder, shall be final and binding on, and
nonappealable by, the Members and judgment thereon may be entered or enforcement
thereof sought by either Member in a court of competent jurisdiction.  The
foregoing deadlines shall be tolled during the period that no arbitrator is
serving until a replacement is appointed in accordance with this Appendix D.

          (e)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to give the arbitrator appointed hereunder any authority, power or right
to alter, change, amend, modify, waive, add to or delete from any of the
provisions of the Agreement.

          Section 2.  Further Qualifications of Arbitrators; Conduct.  All
arbitrators shall be and remain at all times wholly impartial and, upon written
request by either Member, shall provide the Members with a statement that they
can and shall decide any Dispute or Controversy referred to them
impartially.  No arbitrator shall be, or shall have been within the preceding
ten (10) years, employed by either Member or any Affiliate of either Member, or
have served as an advisor or consultant to either Member or any Affiliate of
either Member, or have any material financial dependence upon either Member or
any Affiliate of either Member, nor shall any arbitrator have any material
financial interest in the Dispute or Controversy.

          Section 3.  Applicable Law and Arbitration Rules.  The agreement to
arbitrate set forth in this Appendix D shall be enforceable in either federal or
state court. The enforcement of such agreement, and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all procedural aspects governing the conduct of the
arbitration, shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the Commercial Rules
of the American Arbitration Association.  In deciding the substance of any such
Dispute or Controversy, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the
State of Delaware.  The arbitrator shall have authority, power and right to
award damages and provide for other remedies as are available at law or in
equity in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, except that the
arbitrator shall have no authority to award any damages excluded by Section 22.1
of the Agreement, regardless of whether such damages may be available under the
laws of the State of Delaware.  The Members hereby waive their right, if any, to
recover any damages excluded by Section 22.1 of the Agreement in connection with
any arbitrated Dispute or Controversy.

          Section 4.  Consolidation.  If the Members initiate multiple
arbitration proceedings, the subject matters of which are related by common
questions of law or fact and which could result in conflicting awards or
obligations, then the Members hereby agree that all such proceedings may be
consolidated into a single arbitration proceeding.

          Section 5.  Pendency of Dispute; Interim Measures.  The existence of
any Dispute or Controversy eligible for referral or referred to arbitration
hereunder, or the pendency of the dispute settlement or resolution procedures
set forth herein, shall not in and of themselves relieve or excuse either Member
from its ongoing duties and obligations under the Agreement or any other
Definitive Agreement or any right, duty or obligation arising therefrom;
provided, however, that during the pendency of arbitration proceedings and prior
to a final award, upon written request by a Member, the arbitrator may issue
interim measures for preservation or protection of the status quo.

          Section 6.  No Appeal.  Each Member agrees that arbitration pursuant
to this Appendix D shall be the exclusive method for resolving all Disputes and
Controversies that are not resolved by mutual agreement and that it will not
commence an Action or Proceeding, except to enforce the arbitrator's decision or
to compel the other Member to participate in arbitration under this Appendix D.

          Section 7.  Complete Defense.  The Members agree that compliance by a
Member with the provisions of this Appendix shall be a complete defense to any
Action or Proceeding instituted in any federal or state court, or before any
administrative tribunal by any other Member with respect to any Dispute or
Controversy which is subject to arbitration as set forth herein, other than a
suit or action alleging non-compliance with a final and binding arbitration
award rendered hereunder.

          Section 8.  Costs.  Each Member shall bear the costs of its designated
representative to select the arbitrator of the Dispute or Controversy and its
own attorneys' fees.  The costs of the arbitrator, as well as the additional
incidental costs of arbitration, shall be paid for by the non-prevailing Member

arbitrator is not clearly in favor of either Member, such costs shall be shared
equally by the Members.

APPENDIX G

REQUIRED PROVISIONS OF
ASSET MANAGEMENT POLICY MANUAL

1.     The Power Marketing Services shall include the following:

          (a)  Selling Energy and buying energy, scheduling Energy delivery on
available transmission paths, confirming the Energy delivery schedules,
rescheduling Energy deliveries as required, securing and selling fuel,
nominating fuel to the pipelines for delivery to the Facility or away from the
Facility, confirming the fuel nominations, re-nominating fuel schedules
as-required, and accounting for all transactions associated with Offtake
Agreements, Fuel Supply Agreements and other agreements to optimize the
Company's net revenue;

          (b)  Negotiating Transmission Services Agreements, ancillary services
agreements, and Fuel Supply Agreements on behalf of the Company;

          (c)  Monitoring, on a routine basis (to be determined by the
Management Committee), the relationship between gas prices and power prices and,
when and to the extent that gas and power arbitrage opportunities arise that
enable the Power Marketer to maximize the Company's net revenues, reselling or
buying some portion of the Company's gas supplies and/or gas transportation or
gas storage services;

          (d)  Communicating directly with the Plant Manager to ensure that the
Energy dispatch, scheduling, and fuel delivery obligations are met and optimized
during each scheduling period or delivery day in accordance with the fuel
delivery and power generation schedule and requirements of all Offtake
Agreements, Fuel Supply Agreements and Transmission Services Agreements;

          (e)  Providing a summary of all trades that were executed for the
Company in accordance with the schedule to be determined by the Management
Committee, and providing such other reports and information to the Management
Committee, the Members and to the Members and any other Persons as the
Management Committee shall direct from time to time, including:

               (1)  An asset optimization log showing the daily utilization of
the executed Fuel Supply Agreements;

               (2)  A credit log (described in paragraph 10 below);

               (3)  A daily VAR report;

               (4)  A daily position report;

               (5)  A daily transaction report;

               (6)  An Annual Plan report;

               (7)  A quarterly stress test report;

               (8)  A gas supply, transportation, and storage report addressing
costs, imbalances, and revenues from coordination of and remarketing of
fuel-related transactions; and

               (9)  A report of performance compared to the Revenue Benchmarks.

2.     With respect to the Offtake Agreements, the Transmission Services
Agreements and the Fuel Supply Agreements, the Power Marketer shall make all
schedules and nominations, receive and pay all invoices, deliver and receive all
notices and correspondence thereunder, and otherwise perform and administer such
agreements in a manner so that the Company and third parties fully satisfy their
respective obligations thereunder.

3.     Unless otherwise specified by the Management Committee in its discretion
from time to time, the Power Marketer shall obtain the advance approval of the
Management Committee for all Offtake Agreements having a term of one (1) year or
longer and over $1,000,000 in VAR.  Unless otherwise specified by the Management
Committee in its discretion from time to time, Offtake Agreements having a term
of less than one (1) year and/or less than $1,000,000 in VAR (and otherwise
satisfying any prerequisites imposed from time to time by the Management
Committee) will not require advance approval by the Management
Committee.  Similar limits for advance approval of Fuel Supply Agreements may be
specified by the Management Committee, and below such limits (provided that such
agreements otherwise satisfy any prerequisites imposed from time to time by the
Management Committee), advance approval by the Management Committee will not be
required.

4.     With respect to Offtake Agreements, Fuel Supply Agreements and any other
related agreements that, under the Asset Management Policy Manual then in
effect, do not require Management Committee pre-approval, the Power Marketer
shall notify the Member that is not (or whose Affiliate is not) then the Power
Marketer of such agreements in a timely manner.  In addition, either Member may,
at any time, submit bids to buy Energy or offer to sell fuel to the Project on
terms competitive in the market.

5.     The Power Marketer shall not engage in Self-Dealing Practices on its own
behalf or on behalf of any of its Affiliates. "Self-Dealing Practices" are
generally defined as the Power Marketer executing purchases of fuel for the
Facility or sales of Energy at prices and costs that are economically
discriminatory and disadvantageous to the Company or the other Member, or
sharing information about the availability of Energy or fuel for the Facility to
the disadvantage of the Company or the other Member, for the benefit of the
Power Marketer or an Affiliate.  By way of example and not limitation, the
following practices by the Power Marketer would constitute Self-Dealing
Practices:

·      Making sales of Energy or fuel for the Facility to an Affiliate of the
Power Marketer at prices below the current market, or purchasing fuel for the
Facility from an Affiliate of the Power Marketer at prices above the current
market so as to allow the Power Marketer's Affiliate to make a better margin
than it otherwise would have in the absence of the below-market price from the
Power Marketer; or

·      Sharing information about the availability of Energy or fuel for the
Facility with the Power Marketer's Affiliate that is not shared with the
Management Committee or the other Member, thereby disadvantaging the Company or
such other Member.

6.     The Power Marketer shall allow each Member, and the agents and
representatives thereof, to exercise the right to inspect the Power Marketer's
records of all Project related activity, including documentation of executed
trades, electronic tags, third party confirmations, and all deal tickets.

7.     Management Committee, and report to the Management Committee on a regular
basis (to be determined by the Management Committee), the marked-to-market
position of all counterparties in transactions between such counterparty and the
Company and/or the Power Marketer on behalf of the Company.  If the level of
credit extended by the Power Marketer to any approved counterparty equals or
exceeds its designated level of credit, then the Power Marketer will not conduct
any Project-related transactions with such counterparty until such
counterparty's marked-to-market position has improved to an acceptable level
below the designated level of credit.

8.     The Power Marketer shall observe the requirements of the position trading
and risk management system to be adopted by the Management Committee, and
revised from time to time.  The system will initially require the Power Marketer
to manage the Asset Book such that the volumetric and dollar level of exposure
in VAR on an annual basis do not exceed two hundred fifty megawatts (250 MW) or
$2,000,000 of open transactions, and impose limits on the number of open
electricity futures contracts and open gas futures contracts.  The position
trading and risk management system will also impose specific risk limits to
guide the Power Marketer's transactional activities regarding terms, volumes,
seasonality, transaction types, spark spread, unit contingency, transmission,
transportation, etc. The position trading and risk management system will
require the Power Marketer to provide an audit trail for all executed
transactions.

(and such other Persons that the Management Committee deems appropriate from
time to time) the types of insurance required by the following provisions
together with any other types of insurance as are (a) reasonably necessary and
consistent with the Prudent Electric Industry Standards to protect each Member's
interest in the Facility against loss or liability, (b) consistent with the
insurance policies customarily obtained for projects similar in type and
location to the Facility and (c) available on commercially reasonably terms with
insurance companies rated "A-" or better, with a minimum size rating of "VIII,"
by Best's Insurance Guide and Key Ratings, (or an equivalent rating by another
nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if Best's

companies of recognized responsibility:

          (a)  Commercial general liability insurance for the Facility, on an
"occurrence" policy form for the Members, the Project Management Company and
other Persons deemed by the Management Committee appropriate to be insured
hereunder (such as the Operator) with primary coverage limits of no less than
$1,000,000 for injuries or death to one or more persons or damage to Property
resulting from any one occurrence and a $1,000,000 aggregate limit.  The
foregoing limits shall be specific to the Facility and independent of any other
facilities or sites of either Member.  The commercial general liability policy
shall also include a severability of interest clause, a cross liability clause
in the event more than one entity is a "named insured" under the liability
policy.

          (b)  Automobile liability insurance, including coverage for owned,
non-owned and hired automobiles for both bodily injury and property damage and
containing appropriate no-fault insurance provisions or other endorsements in
accordance with state legal requirements, with limits of no less than $1,000,000
per accident with respect to bodily injury and property damage.

          (c)  From the point of groundbreaking for the Project and up to the
Commercial Operation Date, builder's risk insurance on an "all risk basis" on a
completed value form with "extended coverage" (including collapse, sinkhole and
subsidence) and "soft cost coverage" on an "agreed amount" basis providing (i)
coverage for the Facility, including removal of debris, insuring the buildings,
structures, machinery, equipment, facilities, fixtures and other items
constituting a part of the Facility in a minimum aggregate amount not less than
the full replacement value of the Facility, (ii) off-site coverage with a per
occurrence limit of $5,000,000 or such higher amount as is sufficient to cover
off-site equipment associated with the Project, (iii) transit coverage with a
per occurrence limit of not less than the greater of $5,000,000 or an amount
sufficient to cover the full insurable value of any item in transit,
(iv) coverage for operational testing and startup with the same dollar coverage
and modifications as set out in clause (i) above, (v) delay in opening coverage
in an amount not less than that equal to a 12 month period on an "all risk"

have deductibles of not greater than $500,000 per loss; delay in opening
coverage shall have a deductible not greater than a forty-five (45) day period;
operational testing shall have a deductible of not greater than $500,000; and
transit coverage shall have a deductible of not greater than $250,000. The
builder's risk policy shall include first party cleanup, and hazardous materials
coverage subject to appropriate sublimits.

          (d)  From and after the Commercial Operation Date, "all risk" property
insurance coverage in the amount not less than the full replacement value of the
Facility, including a full replacement cost endorsement (no co-insurance) with

fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, civil commotion, aircraft,
vehicles, smoke and other risks from time to time included under "all risk" or
"extended coverage" policies, collapse, sinkhole, and subsidence with
appropriate sublimits and (ii) boiler and machinery coverage on a
"comprehensive" basis including breakdown and repair with limits not less than
the full replacement cost of the insured objects.  The policy/policies shall
include increased cost of construction coverage, debris removal, and building
ordinance coverage to pay for loss of "undamaged" property which may be required
to be replaced due to enforcement of local, state or federal ordinances subject
to appropriate sublimits.

          (e)  From and after the Commercial Operation Date, business
interruption insurance on an "all risk" basis as set forth in clauses (d)(i) and
(ii) above.

          (f)  Umbrella excess liability insurance of not less than $25,000,000
per occurrence and in the aggregate during construction and $25,000,000 per
occurrence and in the aggregate during operation. Such coverages shall be on an
occurrence or claims made policy form and over and above coverage provided by
the policies described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above and (g) and (h) below
whose limits shall apply toward the $25,000,000 limits set forth in this

paragraph (h) below, and which are provided in the underlying policies.

          (g)  Aircraft liability, to the extent exposure exists, in an amount
not less than $10,000,000 for all owned, non-owned and hired aircraft, fixed

connection with the Project during the Term shall supply proper evidence that
they have obtained for themselves as insureds the insurance of the type and in
the amounts specified in Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(h) of this Exhibit C above
with maximum deductibles or self retentions of $25,000; provided, however, that
the Management Committee (or its designee) shall have the discretion to specify
other types or amounts of insurance or to waive aspects of the foregoing
requirements in its discretion. Work performed by Persons in connection with the
Project shall not commence until a certificate of insurance has been delivered
verifying coverages outlined above and below to be in place.  In addition,
excess liability or umbrella liability limits of not less than $4,000,000 shall
be certified.  Such insurance, with the exception of workers compensation,
supplied by these Persons shall:

          (a)  Add the Members, the Project Management Company, and the Operator
as additional insureds where appropriate;

          (b)  Be primary with respect to any other insurance for benefit of the

cancellation, non-renewal or material reduction in coverage. In the event any
insurance policy is to be canceled due to non-payment of premiums, the
requirements of the preceding sentence shall apply except that the written
notice shall be sent to the Members and the Project Management Company on the
earliest possible date but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the
effective date of such cancellation.
