 Section 2.1    Transaction. 
 Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the other Transaction Documents, the Parties shall consummate the Transactions on or before the Closing Date. Pursuant to the
Withdrawal Agreement, NOVEC shall withdraw and shall be released from the Power Supply Organizations. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Wholesale Power Contract between NOVEC and ODEC shall terminate. Pursuant to the Litigation Agreement,
the Parties shall settle all litigation between and among them. The Withdrawal Agreement, the Termination Agreement, and the Litigation Agreement, are attached hereto and incorporated herein. 
 Section 2.2    Consideration. 
 The Parties
acknowledge that it is impossible to predict accurately the impact of the termination of the NOVEC Wholesale Power Contract, that the net present value of NOVEC’s patronage capital account is difficult or impossible to determine accurately, in
part because there is no defined capital credit retirement obligation or expectation, and that the value of NOVEC’s obligations over the remaining term of the Wholesale Power Contract is difficult or impossible to determine. In consideration of
the Transactions: 
  

	 	2.2.1	The Parties shall make the releases set forth in Transaction Documents, 

  


 Page 11 of 37

	 	2.3.2	 Closing Procedure. Not less than ten days prior to the Closing Date, ODEC shall deliver a draft Settlement Statement to NOVEC, in the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit D. The draft Settlement Statement shall set out the amounts due from each of ODEC and NOVEC to the other at Closing, and calculating a single, net payment to be transferred at Closing. Upon request by NOVEC, ODEC shall promptly
provide to NOVEC cost and other information supporting the calculation of the Estimated Payment. Not less than five days prior to the Closing Date, NOVEC shall notify ODEC of any good faith objections to the draft Settlement 



  

 Page 12 of 37 









	 	Statement, the calculation of the Estimated Payment or the supporting cost information provided to NOVEC by ODEC. If there are no objections by NOVEC or if NOVEC and ODEC resolve
objections raised by NOVEC, ODEC will prepare and deliver at the pre-Closing a final Settlement Statement of the payments due between ODEC and NOVEC, which shall be netted into a single, net payment, to be made at Closing by the paying Party by wire
transfer in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds. 

  

	 	2.3.3	 Third Party Auditor. Any unresolved disputes with respect to the draft Settlement Statement, to the calculation of the Estimated Payment or the supporting
cost information provided to NOVEC by ODEC, or with respect to the True-up calculation pursuant to Section 2.2.2 of the Termination Agreement, shall be submitted to a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not then and has not been the
auditor of either Party or otherwise performing or performed any work or service for any of the Parties during the preceding three years (the “Neutral Auditors”). The Neutral Auditors shall be engaged within ten days of the Parties’
failure to resolve NOVEC’s objection(s) to the draft Settlement Statement and to review the calculation of the Estimated Payment and the cost information supporting the calculation. If the Neutral Auditors require any additional information,
records, or internal analysis in conducting their review, the Party in possession of such information, records or internal analysis will provide it to the Neutral Auditors. Each Party agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditors, a
reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities. All fees and expenses relating to the work to be performed by the Neutral Auditors shall be borne one-half by ODEC and one-half by NOVEC. The Neutral Auditors’ review shall be
completed within thirty days of their engagement, shall be 



  

 Page 13 of 37 









	 	set forth in a written statement delivered to both Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive. Closing will not be delayed pending resolution of such dispute, any undisputed

delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow pending the Closing, and shall become effective only upon Closing. 

  

	 	2.3.5	Location and Escrow. The Closing shall be conducted at the offices of ODEC, or such other location as mutually agreed upon between ODEC and NOVEC. Upon confirmation by the
Parties that all Transactions are ready to close, that all Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered, and that all other conditions to Closing under this Transaction Agreement have been satisfied or waived, the Closing shall occur
and all Transaction Documents shall be released from escrow and be delivered and deemed effective simultaneously, or in the order specified to the extent a particular order is specified in the Transaction Agreement, Withdrawal Agreement, Termination
Agreement, or Litigation Agreement. 

  

	 	2.3.6	 Delay in Closing. If the Closing has not occurred by December 31, 2008, then any Party whose actions or failure to act are not a cause 



  

 Page 14 of 37 









	 	of the delay of Closing shall have the right to terminate this Transaction Agreement upon thirty days’ advance written notice to all other Parties; provided, however, that any
such notice of termination shall be rendered null and void and without force or effect if: (a) the Closing is completed within thirty days of the date on which such notice was issued; or, (b) the delay is due to action or inaction by a
regulatory authority from which a Required Regulatory Approval or other consent or cooperation is required and the Party receiving the notice of termination has exercised and is continuing to exercise Best Efforts to enable it to close. If no Party
acts to terminate the Transaction Agreement, the Closing shall be automatically extended for no more than five successive periods of thirty days. If the Closing is delayed for any reason other than 

  

	 	2.3.6.1	The failure of ODEC to timely perform any of its obligations hereunder, or 

  

	 	2.3.6.2	The failure, despite the Parties’ Best Efforts, to obtain Required Regulatory Approvals, 

  

	 	    	then the provisions of Section 3.3 of the Termination Agreement will govern any sales of power by ODEC to NOVEC after December 31, 2008. 

  

	 	2.3.7	No Default. No Party may terminate the Transaction Agreement or any other Transaction Document if such Party is in breach or default thereof, or if the failure to satisfy a
condition precedent contemplated therein is due to the failure of that Party to perform its obligations under this Transaction Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 

  

 Page 15 of 37 









	 	2.3.8	Costs. Each Party shall be responsible for its own Transaction Costs, whether or not the Closing is achieved; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude any
Party from seeking damages, including recovery of its Transaction Costs, from a Party that fails to timely perform its obligations under this Transaction Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 Exhibit B 
 TERMINATION AGREEMENT 
 AMONG NORTHERN VIRGINIA ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, OLD 
 DOMINION ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, NEW DOMINION ENERGY 
 COOPERATIVE AND TEC TRADING, INC. 
 THIS TERMINATION AGREEMENT (“Termination Agreement”), dated as
of August 15, 2008, is made by and among NOVEC, ODEC, NDEC and TEC. Any or all of these entities may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” or collectively, as the “Parties.” 
 WHEREAS, the Parties are signatories to the Transaction Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, this Termination Agreement is one of the Transaction Documents, all of which Transaction Documents are necessary to effectuate the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the recitals set forth in the Transaction Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference; 
 WHEREAS, ODEC, NOVEC and the Remaining Members are parties to that certain Reorganization Agreement dated as of July 26, 2004, by and among
the Parties, and NDEC is still in the organizational phase; 
 WHEREAS, simultaneously with the Closing of the Transactions, the
Parties have agreed to terminate the NOVEC Wholesale Power Contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Termination Agreement; 
  

 Page 1 of 9 








 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of these premises, and the mutual promises and agreements
set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS 
 1.1    General. 
 Unless the context otherwise specifies or requires, or unless capitalized solely for grammatical
purposes, the capitalized terms used in this Termination Agreement, or in any appendix, attachment, exhibit or schedule to this Termination Agreement, shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Transaction Agreement. Additional terms may be
defined for convenience of reference in other provisions of this Termination Agreement. When used in this Termination Agreement, or in any appendix, attachment, exhibit or schedule to this Termination Agreement, such additional terms shall have the
respective meanings set forth in such other provisions of this Termination Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 2 - TERMINATION, ESTIMATED PAYMENTS AND
TRUE-UP 
 2.1    Termination. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement and all of the Transaction Documents, including this Termination Agreement, the NOVEC Wholesale Power Contract shall be terminated and of no further force or effect
upon and after Closing. 
 2.2    Estimated Payments. 
 ODEC will calculate an “Estimated Payment” equal to NOVEC’s estimated obligation for WPC Services to be supplied to NOVEC under the Wholesale Power Contract on and prior to Closing, but not billed prior
to Closing. Subject to the objection provisions and the netting provisions of Section 2.3.2 of the Transaction Agreement, NOVEC shall pay the Estimated Payment to ODEC at Closing, subject to True-up pursuant to Section 2.3 of this
Termination Agreement. 
  

 Page 2 of 9 








 2.3    True-up. 
 Not more than twenty-five (25) calendar days after Closing, ODEC will generate, based on actual usage data, a final bill for all WPC Services supplied to NOVEC under the NOVEC Wholesale Power Contract on and
prior to Closing (“Final Power Bill”). If the amount of the Final Power Bill is greater than the amount of the Estimated Payment, then NOVEC will, within five days from the date on which it receives the Final Power Bill, remit to ODEC
payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference between the Final Power Bill and the Estimated Payment. If the amount of the Final Power Bill is less than the amount of the Estimated Payment, then ODEC will,
within five days from the date on which it issues the Final Power Bill, remit to NOVEC payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference between the Final Power Bill and the Estimated Payment. 
 2.4    Dispute Resolution. 
 Any dispute between
NOVEC and ODEC regarding the amount of the True-up shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3.3 of the Transaction Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 3 - SERVICE AFTER EXECUTION AND CLOSING 
 3.1    Responsibility for Power Supply
Arrangements after Closing. 
 Beginning no later than 12:01 AM EPT of the day immediately following the Closing Date, NOVEC will: (i) assume
responsibility for any and every obligation to plan, acquire, purchase, generate, or to cause to be delivered all of the electric capacity and energy required by NOVEC; (ii) obtain all of the capacity and energy necessary to supply its entire
load, now existing or later arising, from such sources or suppliers as NOVEC shall determine; (iii) arrange for any and all transmission necessary to deliver such capacity and energy; and, (iv) arrange for all necessary ancillary services.
NOVEC will have no right to any power supply from the Power Supply Organizations after the Closing Date, except as provided in section 3.3 of this Termination Agreement. 
  


 Page 3 of 9 








 3.2    Intermediate Power Supply. 
 If closing does not occur on or prior to December 31, 2008, then the terms of an Intermediate Power Supply Arrangement (“IPSA”) shall be
effective. The IPSA will be in one of the following forms, as mutually agreed by ODEC and NOVEC, and as set forth in a separate agreement which is incorporated herein by reference: 
 3.2.1    Hedging Option: 
 ODEC will enter or has entered into hedging
arrangements, consistent with its Risk Management Policy, for power to supply identified block quantities of NOVEC’s energy requirements in January, February, March, April and May 2009. At or shortly after Closing, ODEC and NOVEC will cooperate
promptly to liquidate at the maximum efficient value such hedges. NOVEC will bear the burden of or enjoy the benefit of the net cost or value of such hedges. 
 3.2.2    Power Purchase and Sale Option: 
 NOVEC will sell and deliver and ODEC will purchase and receive
electric energy hourly in quantity equal to NOVEC’s requirements and at a price equal to ODEC’s wholesale rate under the NOVEC WPC beginning January 1, 2009 and ending at Closing but in no event later than May 31, 2009. The
customary terms and provisions of transactions conducted pursuant to an EEI Master Power Purchase and Sale Agreement shall apply to such sales and purchases. During the same period, beginning January 1, 2009 and ending at Closing but in no
event later than May 31, 2009, ODEC will continue to sell and deliver and NOVEC will continue to purchase and receive electric NOVEC’s hourly energy requirements at ODEC’s wholesale rate under the NOVEC WPC. 
  

 Page 4 of 9 








 3.3    Interruptible Service If ODEC Directed to Provide After Closing. 
 If any Power Supply Organization is directed by any jurisdictional government agency to supply any NOVEC load, such Power Supply Organization shall supply such load,
provided, however, that such Power Supply Organization may interrupt service to NOVEC and not to the Remaining Members to the extent that capacity or energy is not available to serve the Remaining Members and NOVEC simultaneously. NOVEC agrees to
pay such Power Supply Organization monthly an amount equal to the incremental, marginal price that such Power Supply Organization pays for capacity, energy and other services to meet NOVEC’s needs; provided, however, that the Power Supply
Organizations shall exercise reasonable efforts consistent with Good Utility Practice to supply NOVEC at a commercially reasonable marginal price. If such service is provided, a separate, dedicated PJM market based sub-account will be established to
capture all energy, capacity, transmission and ancillary service costs for such service, and all costs and risks for such sub-account will be allocated to, and reimbursed by, NOVEC. In addition, in any month in which a Power Supply Organization
provides power to NOVEC, NOVEC will pay an amount equal to a pro rata load ratio share of ODEC’s general and administrative overhead for such month. The Parties agree to the application of the Mobile-Sierra public interest
standard to any such transaction. 
 3.4    Transmission. 
 Except pursuant to Section 3.1.2 of this Termination Agreement, NOVEC shall be solely responsible for securing and paying for its own transmission services after Closing. No Power Supply Organization will act as
NOVEC’s agent or “Load Serving Entity” or “LSE” (as those terms are defined by PJM) for any transmission or other PJM purposes. 
  

 Page 5 of 9 








 3.5    Release to NOVEC of Transmission Rights. 
 The Power Supply Organizations recognize that effective at the time that NOVEC assumes responsibility for its wholesale power supply pursuant to Article 3.1.1, PJM will
allocate to NOVEC a portion based on NOVEC’s load of ODEC’s Auction Revenue Rights (“ARRs”) through May 31, 2009, and the Power Supply Organizations will not object to allocation of such ARRs based on NOVEC’s load. With
respect to future ARR auctions after Closing, the Parties shall, to the extent each deems it to be in its own best interest, cooperate in reasonable efforts to allow NOVEC to point to Dominion Virginia Power system resources in such auctions, rather
than to ODEC-owned capacity resources. If either Party determines this effort is unsuccessful or unlikely to succeed, then, in such ARR auctions after Closing, NOVEC shall point to a 28% share of the ODEC owned capacity resources that ODEC points to
as of the Closing, more particularly described in Exhibit N. NOVEC shall have no rights to ODEC-owned FTRs (or the value of such FTRs) after Closing, but will have all rights afforded to PJM market participants to participate in PJM’s FTR
markets. 
 3.6    Interim Agreements, Applications. 
 The Parties recognize that it will be necessary for the Power Supply Organizations and NOVEC to cooperate in some transactions with third parties after the Execution of this Termination Agreement, but before Closing.
For example, the Power Supply Organizations will have responsibility to make application to Virginia Electric and Power Company for new delivery points on NOVEC’s behalf and such applications may not be resolved prior to Closing. Accordingly,
with respect to any agreements, applications or other transactions with third parties entered into by the Power Supply Organizations on NOVEC’s behalf after execution of this Termination Agreement but before Closing, the Power Supply
Organizations and NOVEC will endeavor to make any such agreements automatically assignable to NOVEC and terminable with respect to the Power Supply Organizations at Closing. This effort may, but need not, include joining NOVEC as a party to such
agreement, application or other 
  

 Page 6 of 9 








 transaction. In addition, the Parties hereby agree that, any agreement or transaction entered into by and between NOVEC
and any of the Power Supply Organizations after the execution of this Termination Agreement, but prior to Closing, other than those entered pursuant to this Termination Agreement, will terminate automatically at Closing. Obligations that survive
termination or expiration according to the terms of such agreements (such as confidentiality obligations) will survive such automatic termination. 
 ARTICLE FOUR - RELEASES 
 4.1    By NOVEC 
 By executing this Termination Agreement, and in furtherance of Section 3.1.1 herein and except as provided in Section 3.1.3 of this Agreement, NOVEC irrevocably assumes, and releases the Power Supply
Organizations from, any and every obligation to plan, acquire, purchase, generate, sell or deliver any of NOVEC’s wholesale power needs beginning no later than 12:01 AM EPT of the day immediately following the Closing Date, and NOVEC releases
the Power Supply Organizations from any and every consequence or liability, foreseen or unforeseen, related to the NOVEC Wholesale Power Contract or termination thereof, beginning no later than 12:01 AM EPT of the day immediately following the
Closing Date. NOVEC affirms its ability, willingness and intention Beginning no later than 12:01 AM EPT of the day immediately following the Closing Date, to obtain all of the power necessary to supply its entire load, now existing or later arising,
transmission necessary to deliver such power, and any necessary ancillary services. 
 4.2    By the Power Supply Organizations 

 By executing this Termination Agreement, and in furtherance of Section 3.1.1 herein, each of the Power Supply Organizations releases NOVEC from any
and every consequence or liability, foreseen or unforeseen, related to the NOVEC Wholesale Power Contract or termination thereof, beginning no later than the day immediately following the Closing Date.

Wholesale Power Contract between NOVEC and Old Dominion will terminate, NOVEC will withdraw as a member of Old Dominion and TEC, Old Dominion will pay $50,000,000.00 to NOVEC, and the Parties will waive and release any and all claims or disputes in

 In our capacity as general counsel to NOVEC, we have examined executed counterparts of the Agreement, together with relevant corporate proceedings of NOVEC, and have examined and, with your approval as to matters of
fact involved in this opinion, relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of corporate records of NOVEC, certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of NOVEC and such other
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals
and the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. 







 Based on the foregoing and with due regard for such legal and other considerations as we deem
appropriate, we are of the opinion (but subject in all respects to the qualifications set forth in this letter) that: 
 1. NOVEC is a
consumer utility services cooperative, duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is duly qualified and authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
character of its properties or the nature of its business make such qualification necessary, and has the corporate power under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to acquire and own its properties and to carry on its business as presently
conducted and, to enter into and perform its obligations under the Agreement. 
 2. All necessary corporate proceedings by NOVEC have been
duly taken to authorize the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the performance by NOVEC of its obligations under the Agreement. 
 3. The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by NOVEC and constitutes the legal, valid and enforceable obligation of NOVEC, enforceable against NOVEC in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law), including (1) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy, and (2) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, conscionability, good faith and fair
dealing. 
 4. The execution, delivery or performance by NOVEC of the Agreement does not require any governmental approvals or consents
except for those which (i) NOVEC has obtained, (ii) may be required to be given, accomplished, obtained or renewed from time-to-time under laws, ordinances or governmental rules adopted as of the date hereof to which NOVEC is subject, and
which are routine in nature and which cannot be obtained, or are not normally applied for, prior to the time they are required and which we have no reason to believe will not be obtained in a timely manner, or (iii) may be required under any
law, ordinance or governmental rule adopted after the date hereof to which NOVEC is subject. 
 5. There are no suits, investigations,
actions or proceedings pending, or to the best of our knowledge, threatened against, or in the name of, NOVEC before any court, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Virginia State
Corporation Commission, or any other administrative agency or government instrumentality either affecting the Agreement or which, if determined adversely, would materially affect performance in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, or affect
NOVEC’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement, nor has any order, judgment or decree to such effect been issued, or to our knowledge, proposed to be issued. 
 6. The execution, delivery and performance by NOVEC of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not
(a) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any terms or provisions of any indenture, mortgage or other agreement or instrument known to us, to which NOVEC is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound,
(b) conflict with or violate (i) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of NOVEC or (ii)







 any statute, rule or regulation of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the United States of America or, to our knowledge, any
judgment, order or decree binding on NOVEC or its property or (c) result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon or with respect to any properties now or hereafter owned by NOVEC under any agreement known to us, except as contemplated by
the Agreement. 
 In rendering the opinions set forth above, we are not passing on any matter that is not governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia or the United States of America. This opinion is provided solely for the benefit of the parties to whom it is addressed in connection with the transaction described in the first paragraph hereof and may not be used,

 Exhibit L 
 NOVEC and ODEC Sign Separation Agreement for Wholesale Power Supply 
 (Glen Allen, V A) Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) and
Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) have jointly announced the signing of a separation agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, NOVEC will be able to pursue and contract for wholesale power from other suppliers, while ODEC will be in a
position to better focus its attention on its core business model and serve its member cooperatives. If approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS),
ODEC will cease the provision of wholesale power to NOVEC after December 31, 2008. 
 The separation agreement is dated August 15, and was approved
by the boards of directors of ODEC and NOVEC earlier this month. 
 NOVEC is a not-for-profit corporation that distributes electricity to over 140,000
customers in portions of the counties of Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Stafford and Clarke and the City of Manassas Park in Virginia. ODEC is a generation and transmission cooperative that provides wholesale power to NOVEC and 11 other
member electric distribution cooperatives in Virginia, Delaware and Maryland. 
 “This agreement is in the mutual best interest of the consumer-members
of NOVEC and the consumer-members of the other 11 electric cooperatives served by ODEC,” said Jackson E. Reasor, Jr., ODEC president and CEO. “The agreement will allow NOVEC the opportunity and flexibility its management and board have
sought to pursue alternative power supply resources while also allowing our other 11 member distribution cooperatives to move ahead jointly and set priorities to meet the increasing energy demands of the future.” 
 “I truly believe separation at this time is in the best interest of both organizations,” said Stan Feuerberg, NOVEC President and CEO. “Providing our
140,000 customers with reliable, competitively priced electricity is a central focus for our entire NOVEC team. The signing of the separation agreement affords us the opportunity to directly manage the risks associated with power supply, and to seek
relationships with power providers that share our goal of bringing greater rate stability to our customer-owners. We wish ODEC and its member distribution cooperatives success in doing the same for their customers,” he concluded.

 MOTION TO DISMISS OF 
 NORTHERN
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE 
 Pursuant to Rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Northern Virginia Electric
Cooperative (“NOVEC” or “Appellant”) hereby moves dismissal of the above-captioned proceeding. In support of this motion, Appellant states as follows: 
 1. In the instant appeal, Appellant sought review of the following Orders issued by Respondent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”): 
  

	 	(1)	Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative, Inc. v. Old Dominion Electric Cooperative, Order Denying Complaint, Docket No. EL06-43-000, 114 FERC ¶ 61,240 (March 2, 2006);


  

	 	(2)	Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative, Inc. v. Old Dominion Electric Cooperative, Order Denying Rehearing, Docket No. EL06-43-001, 116 FERC ¶ 61,173 (August 24, 2006).


 2. In the underlying FERC proceedings, Appellant filed a complaint against Old Dominion Electric Cooperative
(“ODEC”) pursuant to section 206 of the Federal Power Act (“FPA”), seeking a determination that certain terms of the 1992 Amended and Restated Wholesale Power Agreement (“WPC”) between NOVEC and ODEC were no longer just
and reasonable. In the Orders which NOVEC seeks to have the Court review, FERC determined that NOVEC is bound by the terms and conditions of the WPC between NOVEC and ODEC. In addition, FERC ruled that NOVEC may not acquire power from suppliers
other than ODEC during the remaining term of the WPC without the consent of ODEC, and that NOVEC’s complaint failed to demonstrate that the WPC had caused financial distress sufficient to threaten NOVEC’s ability to continue service, cast
an excessive burden on NOVEC’s customers, or was unduly discriminatory. ODEC was an active participant in the underlying FERC proceedings from which this appeal arose. 







 3. On August 15, 2008, NOVEC and ODEC entered into an agreement that includes a comprehensive
settlement of all of the outstanding disputes between them (“Settlement”). Among other things, the Settlement provides that on December 31, 2008, the WPC between ODEC and NOVEC will terminate, NOVEC will withdraw as a member of ODEC,
and each of them will waive and release any and all claims or disputes in litigation. 
 4. Under the terms of the Settlement, NOVEC has
agreed to dismiss its appeal in this proceeding. 
 5. In addition, the termination of the WPC and NOVEC’s withdrawal from ODEC will
render the issues raised in this proceeding moot. 
 6. Based on the foregoing, Appellant respectfully submits that its appeal should now be
dismissed. 
 WHEREFORE, Appellant respectfully moves the Court to dismiss this proceeding.
