     3.1  Bidding and Dispatch into the PJM.  MAEM shall be responsible for
          ---------------------------------
the Bidding and Dispatch of the output of the Generating Stations.  Without
limitation, MAEM's Bidding and Dispatch strategies shall be consistent with:

     (i)   the operating parameters and limitations of the Generating Stations;

     (ii)  MIRMA's maintenance plans;

     (iii) the availability of the Generating Stations (including Fuel handling
           and storage facilities), as communicated by MIRMA to MAEM;

     3.2  Fuel Services; Agency Period.  (a) MAEM will provide all Fuel

necessary for the operation of the Generating Facilities at MAEM's cost, which
shall be calculated as MAEM's actual cost for transportation, inventory and
related costs, as adjusted for any gains or losses on fuel hedges and trading
activities.  MAEM will enter into arrangements for the purchase and procurement
of Fuel meeting the specifications for the Generating Stations, coordinate the
scheduling, loading, unloading and storage of Fuel deliveries, maintain Fuel
inventory levels, and perform such other Fuel-related services as MIRMA may
request from time to time, in each case in accordance with Good Utility
Practices.

          (b)(i)  If, at any time, MAEM determines that the creditworthiness of
     MIRMA is impaired, MAEM may, at its sole discretion and upon written notice
     to MIRMA, elect to suspend Fuel procurement under Section 3.2(a) for a
                                                       --------------
     period until such creditworthiness is restored (each such period, an
     "Agency Period").  During any such Agency Period, MAEM shall act solely as
     agent to MIRMA under this Agreement in taking the actions set forth in this

     Section 3.2(b).
     --------------

          (ii)  During any Agency Period, MAEM's sole obligation shall be to use
     commercially reasonable efforts to procure Fuel as agent of and for the
     account of MIRMA, and MAEM shall have no obligation to provide credit
     enhancement to any supplier of MIRMA.  MAEM shall have no liability to
     MIRMA if Fuel suppliers do not agree to supply Fuel to MIRMA due to a lack
     of creditworthiness of MIRMA.  As agent, MAEM shall neither directly
     purchase or contract for the purchase of, nor take title to or possession
     and control of, any Fuel procured for the account of MIRMA, and MAEM shall
     have no liability to any Fuel supplier or MIRMA for nonpayment for or
     nondelivery of procured Fuels, as appropriate. During any Agency Period, as
     between MAEM and MIRMA, MIRMA shall be deemed to have title, exclusive
     possession and control of all procured Fuel at all times, and any risk of
     loss associated with any such procured Fuel shall be born by MIRMA.

          (iii)  Each Agency Period shall continue until MIRMA can demonstrate
     to MAEM that MIRMA's creditworthiness has been restored, as reasonably
     determined by MAEM. After a positive determination as to such
     creditworthiness, the applicable Agency Period shall be terminated by MAEM
     by written notice to MIRMA, and MAEM shall resume procuring Fuel for MIRMA
     under Section 3.2(a).
           --------------

     3.3  Emissions Planning and Related Responsibilities.  MAEM shall provide
          -----------------------------------------------
MIRMA emissions planning, in consultation with MIRMA, to assist in the
compliance of the Generating Stations at all times and on an ongoing basis with
all currently effective emissions requirements, permits and regulations.  MAEM
will procure all Emission Allowances necessary for the operation of the
Generating Stations, and dispose of excess Emission Allowances, which are not
needed for the operation of any other generating stations in the MIRMA Asset
Book.  MAEM

                                       5
<PAGE>

will charge MAEM's actual cost of acquiring the Emission Allowances and remit
the proceeds of any Emission Allowances sales to MIRMA, as adjusted for any
gains or losses on emission hedges and trading activities.

     3.4  Insurance.  MAEM will procure or assist MIRMA in procuring business
          ---------

          ------------------
(including but not limited to, swaps, contracts for differences, options and
weather derivatives) purchased for MIRMA.  The gains and losses arising from
such financial products will be borne by MIRMA, and therefore the costs,
including without limitation third party broker costs and transaction fees, and
revenues related to such financial products will be charged to or paid to MIRMA.

     3.6  Power Market Transactions.  MAEM will enter into third party bilateral
          -------------------------
contracts, forward sales, hedges and other transactions for the benefit of
MIRMA.  The gains and losses arising from such transactions will be borne by
MIRMA, and therefore the costs of such transactions, including without
limitation, purchased power costs, transmission costs, third party broker costs,
transaction fees and incremental credit costs, and revenues related to such
activities will be charged to or paid to MIRMA.

                                   ARTICLE 4.

     "Threshold Amount" means the $896,179,000.00 for the 2001 calendar year.
     The Threshold Amount for subsequent years shall be determined by joint
     agreement between MAEM and the MIRMA Group as a reasonable amount based on
     upon assumptions consistent in all material respects with relevant
     contracts and agreements, historical operations, and the parties' good
     faith projections of future revenues and projections of operating expenses
     for the MIRMA Group in light of the then existing or reasonably expected
     regulatory and market environments in the markets in which the facilities
     or other assets owned by the MIRMA Group will be operated.

     The bonus shall not be payable until the Threshold Amount is reached.  Upon
reaching the Threshold Amount, such bonus will be paid on a monthly basis in
accordance with Section 4.4 hereof.  MAEM acknowledges that any bonus payments
                -----------

the Net Market Revenues for the prior month, and shall provide MIRMA with

                                                        -----------

distribute such revenues in accordance with the provision of the Agency
Agreement dated of even date herewith between the members of the MIRMA Group.

     4.5  Reports.  MIRMA and MAEM will cooperate to provide monthly reports in
          -------
reasonable detail showing the calculation of the Net Market Revenues, with
appropriate breakdown by generating unit and station, to enable MIRMA to

members of the MIRMA Group.  MIRMA and

     If either Party is rendered wholly or partly unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement because of a Force Majeure event, that Party
