procure and supply to Project Company, on an exclusive basis, all Fuel required
by the Generating Station in accordance with Good Utility Practices and the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Fuel hedging and trading activities will be attributed to the Asset Book and

ARTICLE 4.


DIRECT
CONTRACTS


 


4.1                                 Direct
Contracts.


 


(a)                                  Agency
Services.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Sections 2.1 or 3.1 of this Agreement, Project Company may
enter into contracts to (i) sell the Products available from the Generating
Station directly to a third party rather than selling such Products to MAEM
and/or (ii) purchase Fuel required by the Generating Station directly from
a third party rather than purchasing such Fuel from MAEM (collectively “Direct
Contracts”).  Project Company hereby
appoints MAEM as its agent in administering any Direct Contract including, but
not limited to, Scheduling, billing, settlements with the ISO (if applicable)
and other services required by Project Company pursuant to the terms of such Direct
Contract.  Project Company shall continue
to pay MAEM the Service Fee for the agency services provided by MAEM during the
term of a Direct Contract.  As agent,
MAEM shall neither directly purchase or sell, or contract for the purchase or
sale, nor take title to or possession and control of any Products or Fuel.  Rather, as between MAEM and Project Company,
when MAEM is acting as agent under any Direct Contract, Project Company shall
be deemed to have title and exclusive possession and control of all Products
sold to, and all Fuel purchased from, third parties, and Project Company shall
bear the risk of loss associated with such Products and Fuel.


 


(b)                                 Costs
and Revenues.  The calculation of Net
Market Revenues shall exclude any costs or revenues associated with a Direct
Contract.  All such costs and revenues
shall be paid and received by Project Company. 
If a third party customer or other entity pays MAEM any amounts due
Project Company under a Direct Contract, MAEM shall hold such amounts in trust
for the applicable Project Company and remit such funds to Project Company on
or before the


 


7

















 


twentieth (20th)
day of each month, or if such day is not a business day, the immediately
following business day.


 


4.2                                 Cooperation.
The Parties shall cooperate to fulfill the obligations of Project Company
and/or MAEM as set forth in the Direct Contract and/or Third Party Contract, as
applicable.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all payment obligations under any Direct Contract shall be the sole
responsibility of Project Company. In an effort to maximize Net Market
Revenues, Project Company agrees that MAEM shall have the right to purchase
Products from third parties or the market, in lieu of the Generating Station
producing such Products, for the purpose of meeting the supply obligations of
Project Company or MAEM under any Direct Contract or Third Party Contract (“Purchased
Power”); provided, however, any such purchase should only occur when the
Project Company’s cost to generate the Products exceeds the prevailing market
price for such Products.  Project Company
and MAEM shall notify the others promptly if it becomes aware of any dispute
under, or any proposed amendment to, a Direct Contract or Third Party
Contract.  Project Company and MAEM
acknowledge and agree that certain provisions of this Agreement including,
without limitation, MAEM’s scheduling and fuel supply obligations, may not be
consistent with the provisions of a Direct Contract or a Third Party Contract
(such as a tolling agreement for example). 
In the event of such inconsistency, the provisions of the Direct
Contract or Third Party Contract shall control.

BOOK; ADDITIONAL SERVICES


 


5.1                                 Asset

management book for the Texas region (the “Asset Book”) to track and measure
the financial performance of all transactions with respect to the Generating
Station including, but not limited to, (i) the sale of Products generated
by, or available from, the Generating Station pursuant to any Offers, Third
Party Contracts and/or Direct Contracts, (ii) Purchased Power, (iii) the
purchase of Fuel and any related Fuel hedges and trading activities, (iv) the
purchase of Emissions Allowances and any related emissions hedges and trading
activities and (v) the purchase of transmission and/or transportation
capacity.  The Asset Book shall be
separate from any MAEM trading book or any other asset book maintained by MAEM
for other Asset Companies. Unless otherwise designated in writing by the
Project Company, transactions in the Asset Book will be allocated
proportionately based on the actual dispatch of the Generating Station, as
provided by the Project Company to MAEM (with the exception of sales of
capacity, which will be allocated proportionately based on the actual capacity
of the generating units).


 


5.2                                 Emissions
Planning and Related Responsibilities. MAEM shall provide Project Company
emissions planning, in consultation with Project Company, to assist in the
compliance of the Generating Station at all times and on an ongoing basis with
all currently effective emissions requirements, permits and regulations.  Upon the Project Company’s request, MAEM will
procure Emission Allowances necessary for the operation of the Generating Station,
and dispose of excess Emission Allowances, which are not needed for the
operation of the Generating Station. 
MAEM will charge Project Company MAEM’s actual cost of acquiring the
Emission Allowances and remit the actual proceeds of any Emission Allowances
sales to Project Company,

To the extent that MAEM’s rights or obligations under any such

ARTICLE 8.


BILLING AND PAYMENT


 


8.1                                 Cost
Allocation.  For services rendered by
MAEM to Project Company under this Agreement and/or any Direct Contract,
Project Company shall pay MAEM its monthly share of allocated costs for
fulfilling its responsibilities to the Project Company under this Agreement
and/or any Direct Contract including, but not limited to, personnel costs (the “Service
Fee”).  For purposes of determining
Project Company’s share of allocated costs, MAEM shall apply an industry
standard methodology which is applied uniformly across the Asset
Companies.  Each of MAEM and Project
Company acknowledges that the monthly allocations may be adjusted from time to
time.


 


8.2                                 Billing
and Payment. MAEM shall pay Project Company the positive Net Market
Revenues due for the prior month (or, if Net Market Revenues for such month are
negative, Project Company shall pay MAEM an amount equal to such negative
balance) by wire transfer to the payment address provided by the recipient on
or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month, or if such day is
not a business day, the immediately following business day.  At the time of each monthly payment, MAEM
shall render to Project Company a statement detailing the Net Market Revenues
for the prior month, and shall provide Project Company with supporting
documentation for each such monthly statement, identifying calculations
underlying such Net Market Revenues. If ERCOT later adjusts amounts payable by
or paid to MAEM with respect to transactions in the Asset Book, such amounts
will be credited to, or paid by, Project Company in the month in which MAEM
receives notice of the adjustment.  The
preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Agreement. If a third
party fails to pay MAEM any amount due for Products sold to such party, MAEM
shall only be required to pay the Asset Company the amount received by MAEM
from the third party.  In other words,
MAEM shall not be responsible for non-payment by a third party customer, and
any Gross Revenues shall not be adjusted upward to account for any such
non-payment.


 


“Net Market Revenues”
means Gross Revenues minus Expenses. Net Market Revenues shall be
calculated in accordance with GAAP.


 


 “Gross Revenues” means all revenues
attributed to the Asset Book for a certain month including, without limitation,
the actual revenues received by MAEM from (a) sales of all Products
generated by, or available from, the Generating Station, (b) sales of
Purchased Power, (c) excess Fuel sales, (d) sales or trades of excess
Emissions Allowances from the Generating Station and (e) gains associated
with physical and/or financial products


 


12





















 


(including,
but not limited to, swaps, contracts for differences and options) purchased for
the Asset Book related to hedges and trading activities.


 


“Expenses” means
all costs attributed to the Asset Book for a certain month, including costs
reimbursed to MAEM for actual costs in performing the services including, but
not limited to, costs for (a) purchases of Fuel, (b) purchases of
Emissions Allowances, (c) losses associated with physical and/or financial
products (including, but not limited to, swaps, contracts for differences and
options) purchased for the Asset Book related to hedges and trading activities,
(d) broker and/or transaction fees, (e) transmission congestion
contracts for sales from the Generating Station, (f) Collateral Costs, (g) transmission
and/or transportation costs related to delivery of the Products and/or Fuel, (h) Purchased
Power and (i) other actual costs in connection with the services described
in Articles 2, 3 and 4 hereof.


 


8.3                                 Monthly
Statements.  Project Company and MAEM
will cooperate to provide monthly statements in reasonable detail showing the
calculation of the Net Market Revenues, to enable Project Company to track Net
Market Revenues.  Project Company shall
have the right, upon reasonable notice, to examine and/or audit the Asset Book
from time to time.


 


8.4                                 Interest
and Disputed Amounts.  If either
Party fails to make any payment on or before the applicable payment due date,
such overdue amounts shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate from, and
including, the applicable payment due date to, but excluding, the date of
payment.  Any disputed invoiced amounts,
except amounts which are manifestly inaccurate, shall be paid in full on the
applicable payment due date, subject to later return together with interest
accrued at the Interest Rate depending on the resolution of the dispute.  Overpayments or underpayments identified by
the Parties shall be returned or credited, together with interest accrued at
the Interest Rate, to their rightful owners in the first following month.


 


8.5                                 FERC
Refunds.  In the event MAEM is
ordered by FERC to refund any payments received by MAEM from third parties
related to any transactions in the Asset Book, Project Company agrees to pay,
or reimburse MAEM if MAEM has paid, the refund amount to FERC or a third
party.  The Project Company’s obligation
to pay FERC or a third party, or reimburse MAEM, any refund amount shall be
without regard to the cause or causes related thereto including, without
limitation, the negligence of MAEM.  Any
such payment to FERC or a third party shall be made within the time period
ordered by FERC.


 


ARTICLE 9.

AND REMEDIES


 


9.1                                 Events
of Default.  Any one or more of the
following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder with respect to a
Party:


 


(a)                                  default
shall occur in the payment of any amounts due from such Party hereunder which

other Party;


 


13

















 


(b)                                 other
than as provided in Section 9.1(a) above, default shall occur in the
performance of any covenant or condition to be performed by such Party under
this Agreement and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of
thirty (30) days after written notice from the other Party specifying the
nature of such default; or


 


(c)                                  a
representation or warranty made by such Party herein shall have been false or
misleading in any material respect when made; provided, however, if such
representation or warranty is capable of being corrected, no Event of Default
shall have occurred if such Party is diligently pursuing such correction and
such representation or warranty is corrected within thirty (30) days of such
Party obtaining knowledge of the false and misleading nature of the statement.


 


9.2                                 Remedies.  The Parties shall have the following remedies
available to them hereunder:


 


(a)                                  Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default by either Party hereunder, the
non-defaulting Party shall have the right (i) to collect all amounts then
or thereafter due to it from the defaulting Party hereunder, and (ii) upon
written notice to the other Party, to terminate this Agreement at any time
during the continuation of such Event of Default.  The terminating Party shall have all rights
and remedies available to it under applicable law, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 11.8.


 


(b)                                 Without
limiting the foregoing, any unexcused breach of this Agreement or failure of
either Party to perform its obligations hereunder shall subject such Party to
the payment of actual damages to the other Party, regardless of any cure
period.


 


ARTICLE 10.


FORCE
MAJEURE


 


10.1                           Force
Majeure.  If either Party is rendered
wholly or partly unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement because
of a Force Majeure event, that Party will be excused from whatever performance
is affected by the Force Majeure event to the extent so affected, provided that
(a) the non-performing Party, as soon as practical after knowing of the
occurrence of the Force Majeure event, gives the other Party written notice
describing the particulars of the occurrence; (b) the suspension of
performance is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably
required by the Force Majeure event; (c) the non-performing Party uses
commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or mitigate the effects of such
occurrence, provided, however, that this provision shall not require Project
Company to deliver, or MAEM to receive, any Products at points other than the
Delivery Point; and (d) when the non-performing Party is able to resume
performance of its obligations hereunder, that Party shall give the other Party
written notice to that effect and shall promptly resume such performance.

With Laws.  At all times during the
