Generator's generating facility with the transmission facilities of the Alabama
Power Electric System; and

         WHEREAS, Generator desires to engage in sales of electric energy to be
generated by Generator's generating facility.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties covenant
and agree as follows:

                             SECTION 1: DEFINITIONS

         1.1 In addition to the initially capitalized terms and phrases defined
in the preamble of this Agreement, the following initially capitalized terms and
phrases as and when used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings
set forth below:

such Party, (ii) which, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially, owns
or holds 10% or more of the shares of any class of capital stock or other
ownership interest of such Party having voting power or (iii) of which 10% or
more of the shares of any of the capital stock or other ownership interest of
the Affiliate having voting power is owned or held, directly or indirectly, of
record or beneficially, by or for such Party. For purposes of this definition,
"control" when used with respect to any entity means the power to direct the
management and policies of such entity, directly or indirectly, whether through
the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms
"controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Power nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation under this Agreement
to purchase any power from the Facility, it being the intent and understanding
of the Parties that Generator shall be responsible for its power sales to third
parties.

         2.2      Facility.  The Facility is located in Autauga County, Alabama.
                  --------

         2.3 Permits. Generator shall obtain and maintain, at its sole expense,
any and all governmental permits, certificates or authorizations that Generator
is required to obtain and maintain for the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement. Alabama Power shall obtain and maintain any and all permits,
certificates or authorizations that are required for the construction,
operation, maintenance, and testing of the Interconnection Facilities, the
expense of which shall be paid by Generator in accordance with Section 5.

         2.4      Easements and Access Rights.
                  ---------------------------

                  2.4.1 To the extent that Generator has any such rights,
Generator shall convey to Alabama Power at no cost to Alabama Power any and all
rights of way and easements, including adequate and continued access rights to
property of Generator necessary to provide Interconnection Service to Generator.
Generator agrees that such parcel, rights of way, and easements shall survive
termination or expiration of this Agreement, if and to the extent necessary for
the continued use or the removal of the Interconnection Facilities. Such
easements and access rights are specifically intended to permit Alabama Power to
install, operate, maintain, replace and/or remove the Interconnection
Facilities.

                  2.4.2 Upon reasonable advance notice given to Generator,
representatives of Alabama Power (as the transmission asset owner) shall at all
reasonable times have access to the Generator's Interconnection Equipment and to
property owned or controlled by Generator to the extent necessary in order to:
(i) inspect, maintain, and test meters and other Alabama Power equipment; (ii)
interconnect, disconnect (in accordance with Section 3), monitor, or measure
energy generated by the Facility; (iii) inspect the operation, maintenance or
testing of the Generator's Interconnection Equipment; or (iv) take such other
action as may be reasonably necessary to exercise Alabama Power's rights under
this Agreement. Alabama Power shall take reasonable steps to ensure such access
does not materially interfere with the operations, maintenance or testing of the
Facility, and that Alabama Power's use of such property complies with Legal
Requirements with respect to the Facility as well as with Generator's reasonable
policies and procedures applicable to the Facility, including those regarding
safety. Generator shall cooperate in such physical inspections of the
Generator's Interconnection Equipment as may be reasonably required by Alabama
Power. Alabama Power's technical review and inspection of the Generator's
Interconnection Equipment shall not be construed as endorsing the design thereof
nor as any warranty of the safety, durability or reliability of the Facility.

                  2.4.3 To the extent that Alabama Power has any such rights,
Alabama Power agrees to furnish at no cost to Generator any necessary licenses
or other access rights to permit Generator to construct, connect, operate and
maintain its facilities located in Alabama Power's substation or to otherwise
fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. After the Interconnection
Facilities are energized, such access rights for Generator's facilities located
inside the substation shall be exercised by Generator only with supervision by
Alabama Power. Generator shall provide to Alabama Power reasonable notice under
the circumstances of a request for such supervised access to the substation, and
Alabama Power and Generator shall mutually agree upon the date and time of such
supervised access, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. In addition
to the aforementioned requirement, in exercising such access rights, Generator
shall not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with normal operations of Alabama
Power's business and shall act consistent with Good Utility Practice.

         2.5      Interconnection Point.  Alabama Power shall establish and
maintain the Interconnection Point, as described in Appendix B to this
Agreement.

         2.6 Station Service Arrangements. Generator is responsible for making
all appropriate arrangements for station service requirements. Generator must
demonstrate, to Alabama Power's reasonable satisfaction, that it has adequate
arrangements in place to supply its station service requirements. If Generator
supplies its running station service on Generator's side of the Interconnection
Point, then energy consumed and demand requirements are deemed to be netted from
Generator's capability. In this same arrangement, starting station service
energy is also assumed to be netted out of energy delivered to the
Interconnection Point.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         2.7 Generator Balancing Service Arrangements. Generator is responsible
for ensuring that its actual generation matches its scheduled delivery, on an
integrated clock hour basis (in whole MW), to the Alabama Power Electric System
at the Interconnection Point. Generator shall make arrangements for the supply
of energy and/or capacity when there is a difference between the actual
generation and the scheduled delivery. Generator may satisfy its obligation for
making such generator balancing service arrangements by: (a) obtaining such
service from another entity that (i) has generating resources within the
Southern Company Control Area, (ii) agrees to assume responsibility for
providing generator balancing service to the Generator and (iii) has a control
area coordination services agreement with the Southern Companies that addresses
generator balancing service for all generating resources for which the entity is
responsible; (b) committing sufficient additional unscheduled generating
resources to the control of and dispatch by the Southern Company Control Area
that are capable of supplying any capacity and energy not supplied by the
scheduled resource and entering into a control area coordination services
agreement with the Southern Company Control Area operator that addresses
generator balancing service obligations; (c) entering into an arrangement with
another NERC-approved control area to dynamically schedule the Generator's
Facility out of the Southern Company Control Area and into such other control
area; (d) entering into a generator balancing service agreement with Southern
Companies pursuant to their Generator Balancing Service Tariff on file with
FERC; or (e) in the event the load/generation balancing function of the control
area in which Alabama Power is a participant is provided by an entity other than
Southern Companies, by entering into an alternate arrangement with such control
area service provider.

         2.8 Interconnection Procedures. When the Facility is operated as part
of the Southern Company Control Area, Generator shall comply with the
Interconnection Procedures (Appendix A) for the Facility at all times. When the
Facility is not operated as part of the Southern Company Control Area, the
Operating Committee shall determine which (if any) of the Interconnection
Procedures are not applicable.

         2.9      Interconnected  Operation Services.  Generator retains any
right it may have to pursue compensation for the provision of interconnected
operation services by making a filing with FERC.  Alabama Power retains any
right it may have to support or oppose such filing.

         2.10     Control Area Operations.  Nothing in this Agreement shall
obligate Generator to operate the Facility as a part of the Southern Company
Control Area.

         2.11 Inadvertent Flow. Generator is not a transmission provider; and
Alabama Power shall have no obligation under this Agreement to pay Generator any
charge for flows of electric power and/or energy through Generator's
Interconnection Equipment.

                 SECTION 3: TERM, TERMINATION AND DISCONNECTION

         3.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date
and shall continue in effect for a period of forty (40) years from the initial
Effective Date unless terminated earlier by mutual written agreement of the
Parties or otherwise pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement subject to any
applicable Legal Requirement, and shall continue thereafter until terminated by
either Party on at least one (1) year's notice.

         3.2      Default.
                  -------

                  3.2.1 A Party shall be in "Default" under this Agreement, if:
(i) the Party fails to comply with any material term or condition of this
Agreement; (ii) any material representation or warranty of the Party made
pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading in any material
respect when made or deemed made; or (iii) in the case of Generator, Generator
makes an assignment for the benefit of Generator's creditors, or voluntary or
involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy are instituted seeking to adjudge
Generator a bankrupt, or if Generator be adjudged a bankrupt, or if Generator's
affairs are placed in the hands of any court for administration.

                  3.2.2 This Agreement may be terminated by either Party, upon
written notice, if the other Party is in Default hereunder and such Party (or
its Permitted Financing Assignee) has not cured such breach within thirty (30)
Days following written notice of such breach to the other Party. Provided,
however, that in the event the Default is not capable of being cured within
thirty (30) Days, the Agreement shall not be terminated if the Party in Default
(or its Permitted Financing Assignee) has begun in good faith taking actions to
cure within thirty (30) Days following such written notice and diligently
proceeds to completion.

                  3.2.3 In the event of a Default by either Party and subject to
that Party's right to cure, the non-defaulting Party may pursue any and all
judicial and administrative remedies and relief available to it.

         3.3 Permanent Disconnection. Upon termination of this Agreement
(whether due to the expiration of the Term or due to a Default as described in
Section 3.2), Alabama Power may permanently disconnect the Facility from the
Alabama Power Electric System in accordance with Good Utility Practices.

         3.4      Temporary Disconnection.
                  -----------------------

                  3.4.1. Alabama Power (as transmission asset owner) may,
consistent with Good Utility Practice and on a non-discriminatory basis, direct
that the Facility be temporarily disconnected from the Alabama Power Electric
System: (i) during an Emergency; (ii) if the operation and output of the
Facility do not meet the requirements of this Agreement (even if Generator has
commenced actions to cure such Default) and such condition could materially
adversely affect the safe and reliable operation of the Alabama Power Electric
System; (iii) if an inspection of the Facility reveals a hazardous condition,
lack of scheduled maintenance or testing, or an operating characteristic of the
Facility that could materially adversely affect the safe and reliable operation
of the Alabama Power Electric System; (iv) if Generator has modified the
Facility or interconnection protective devices in a manner that could reasonably
be expected to materially adversely affect the safe and reliable operation of
the Alabama Power Electric System without the knowledge and approval of Alabama
Power; (v) in the event of tampering with, or unauthorized use of, Alabama
Power's equipment; (vi) if the operation of Generator's equipment materially
adversely affects Alabama Power's equipment or the safe and reliable operation

                                       9
<PAGE>

of the Alabama Power Electric System; or (vii) if necessary to construct,
install, maintain, repair, replace, remove, investigate, inspect or test any
part of the Interconnection Facilities or the transmission facilities of Alabama
Power, in accordance with Section 15.2.4.

                  3.4.2 In the event of the occurrence of any of the conditions
described in Section 3.4.1, Alabama Power shall give as much advance notice as
practicable under the circumstances of the need for disconnection of the
Facility to employees of Generator designated from time to time by Generator to
receive such notice. Upon receipt of notice directing disconnection, Generator
shall carry out the required action. Where circumstances do not permit such
advance notice to Generator or Generator's employees, Alabama Power may
disconnect the Facility from the Alabama Power Electric System without such
notice in accordance with Good Utility Practices. Alabama Power shall reconnect
the Facility as soon as reasonably practicable following the cessation or remedy
of the event that led to the temporary disconnection. The Parties agree to
cooperate and coordinate with each other to the extent necessary in order to
restore the Facility, Interconnection Facilities, and the Alabama Power Electric
System to their normal operating state.

                  3.4.3 Generator shall bear any direct cost incurred by Alabama
Power as a result of any disconnection or reconnection caused by Generator's
negligence, intentional wrongdoing, or breach of this Agreement, whether by
affirmative act or omission of Generator. Alabama Power shall bear any direct
cost incurred by Generator as a result of any disconnection or reconnection
caused by Alabama Power's negligence, intentional wrongdoing, or breach of this
Agreement, whether by affirmative act or omission of Alabama Power.

                  3.4.4 Generator reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
isolate or disconnect its Facility from the Alabama Power Electric System.

         3.5 Survival of Rights. Upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement, the Parties shall be relieved of their obligations under this
Agreement except for the following obligations which shall survive termination
or expiration: (i) the obligation to pay each other all amounts then owed and
not paid under this Agreement; (ii) obligations arising from action or inaction
during the period the Agreement was in effect under the indemnities provided for
in this Agreement; and (iii) any other obligations which the Agreement
specifically indicates shall survive termination or expiration.

     SECTION 4: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF GENERATOR'S FACILITY

         4.1 General Standards. During the Term, Generator shall have the sole
responsibility to, and at its sole expense shall manage, control, operate and
maintain the Facility in accordance with Good Utility Practices and the
requirements set forth in this Agreement. Generator shall operate its generating
equipment in parallel with the Alabama Power Electric System in accordance with
the operating procedures in Appendix A to this Agreement and those established
by the Operating Committee in accordance with Section 15 and in accordance with
the requirements of the NERC-recognized control area in which the Facility
operates. All wiring, apparatus and other equipment necessary to receive or
deliver electric energy on Generator's side of the Interconnection Point shall
be supplied, maintained and operated by and at the expense of Generator.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         4.2 Maintenance and Operation. Generator shall maintain and operate the
Facility in accordance with Good Utility Practices. Generator shall not, without
Alabama Power's prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), make any change to its Facility which might adversely affect the
operation of the Alabama Power Electric System.

                      SECTION 5: INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES

         5.1      Interconnection Facilities.
                  --------------------------

                  5.1.1 Alabama Power shall design, procure, install, and own
the Interconnection Facilities needed for Alabama Power to provide
Interconnection Service to Generator. Alabama Power shall be responsible for
acquiring all necessary real property rights, easements, licenses, and rights of
way and for determining the need for, and the design, construction,
installation, operation, maintenance and testing of any equipment that may be
required for Interconnection Service in a manner consistent with Good Utility
Practices, the Interconnection Procedures and the requirements set forth in this
Agreement. All Interconnection Facilities shall be and remain the property of
Alabama Power. Alabama Power's obligations hereunder are dependent upon its
securing and retaining the necessary rights, easements, privileges, franchises,
permits and equipment for meeting such obligations; provided, however, that
Alabama Power shall exercise reasonable efforts to secure and retain for the
Term of this Agreement those rights, easements, privileges, franchises, permits
and equipment.

                  5.1.2 Following commencement of commercial operation of the
Facility and throughout the Term, Alabama Power shall be responsible for
determining the need for, and the design, construction, installation, operation,
maintenance and testing of any equipment that may be required for
Interconnection Service in a manner consistent with Good Utility Practices, the
Interconnection Procedures and the requirements set forth in this Agreement.

         5.2 Costs of Interconnection Facilities. To the extent consistent with
FERC policy, Generator shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse Alabama
Power for, all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Alabama
Power in connection with the planning, design, construction, installation,
testing, inspection, ownership, operation and maintenance of all or any part of
the Interconnection Facilities during the Term of this Agreement.

         5.3 Additional Interconnectors. In the instance where an entity other
than Generator seeks to be the first additional Person to interconnect to the
Alabama Power Electric System through the Interconnection Facilities that have
been paid for by Generator (such other Person is referred to as the "Additional
Interconnector") and where the Additional Interconnector seeks to interconnect
for any purpose other than for Alabama Power to make a network upgrade, then
Alabama Power agrees that the Additional Interconnector shall be charged a pro
rata share of the cost of its interconnection, as defined hereafter. For
purposes of this subparagraph, the Additional Interconnector's pro rata share of
its cost of interconnection shall be the sum of the incremental cost of

                                       11
<PAGE>

physically interconnecting the Additional Interconnector to the Interconnection
Facilities and the original cost of the Interconnection Facilities paid by
Generator, including the price of the land provided by Generator (the sum of the
incremental cost and the original cost hereafter referred to as "Combined Cost
of Interconnection") and then dividing the Combined Cost of Interconnection by
two (2) in order to determine both Generator's and the Additional
Interconnector's "Pro Rata Share of the Combined Cost of Interconnection."
Alabama Power shall then pay to Generator, or have the Additional Interconnector
pay to Generator, the difference between the original cost of the
Interconnection Facilities paid by Generator and Generator's Pro Rata Share of
the Combined Cost of Interconnection; provided, however, that no such payment
shall be required if it would result in the Generator bearing less than its Pro
Rata Share of the Combined Cost of Interconnection. In the event that Persons
additional and subsequent to the Additional Interconnector seek to interconnect
to the Alabama Power Electric System through the Interconnection Facilities that
have been paid for by Generator (such additional interconnectors referred to as
"Subsequent Additional Interconnectors") and where the Subsequent Additional
Interconnectors seek to interconnect for any purpose other than for Alabama
Power to make a network upgrade, then Alabama Power agrees that the Subsequent
Additional Interconnectors shall be charged a pro rata share of the cost of
their respective interconnection, such cost to be determined in accordance with
the methodology described above, and Alabama Power agrees further that in such
event it shall pay, or have such Subsequent Additional Interconnectors pay to
Generator and Additional Interconnector, reimbursement calculated based on the
method described above, taking into account Generator's Pro Rata Share of the
Combined Cost of Interconnection. Except in accordance with the cost sharing
methodology set forth herein, Generator shall not be responsible for the costs
of any modifications of the Interconnection Facilities that are not caused by
the Generator. In no event shall Generator be obligated to pay any increased
amount as a result of any Additional Interconnector or Subsequent Additional
Interconnector. To the extent that all interconnectors do not have comparable
interconnection points, the Combined Cost of Interconnection shall be adjusted
appropriately.

         5.4      Payment of Cost of On-Going Maintenance and Operation of the
Interconnection Facilities

                  5.4.1 Alabama Power shall operate and maintain the
Interconnection Facilities in accordance with Good Utility Practices and in a
non-discriminatory manner.

                  5.4.2 Alabama Power shall develop an estimate of all costs and
expenses to be paid by Generator for the operation and maintenance of the
Interconnection Facilities on an annual basis and provide the annual estimate to
Generator at least eight (8) weeks before December 31 of each year. In the case
of Additional Interconnectors or Subsequent Additional Interconnectors,
Generator shall be responsible for up to its pro rata share, calculated in
accordance with Section 5.3, of the costs of operation and maintenance of the
Interconnection Facilities. Generator shall pay one-twelfth (1/12) of such
estimated costs each Month in accordance with Section 10. In addition, Generator
shall pay its pro rata share of all costs reasonably incurred by Alabama Power
(excluding any such costs reimbursed to Alabama Power through insurance
proceeds) to repair and restore the Interconnection Facilities caused by any
Force Majeure Event upon receipt of an invoice in accordance with Section 10.

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  5.4.3 Alabama Power shall true-up this estimate to Alabama
Power's actual costs and expenses within a reasonable period of time after such
actual costs and expenses are known but not less often than annually. In the
event that the actual costs and expenses to be paid by Generator under this
Section 5.4 are more or less than Alabama Power's initial estimate, the
difference (either a credit or an additional charge) shall be reflected on a
subsequent invoice.

         5.5 Care of Equipment. Generator shall exercise care in accordance with
Good Utility Practices to protect the Interconnection Facilities located on
Generator's premises, and agrees to pay the cost of repairs or replacement in
the event of loss or damage to the Interconnection Facilities arising from the
failure of Generator to properly protect those Interconnection Facilities in
accordance with Good Utility Practices.

         5.6      Payment of the Cost of the Interconnection Facilities
                  -----------------------------------------------------

                  5.6.1 Generator shall pay Alabama Power in advance for the
costs incurred related to the installation and construction of the
Interconnection Facilities. Alabama Power shall develop a quarterly payment
schedule that shall be based upon (i) the estimated costs to be incurred by
Alabama Power in the installation and construction of the Interconnection
Facilities, and (ii) the time periods that Alabama Power estimates that such
costs will be incurred by Alabama Power ("Quarterly Estimated Construction
Costs"). A current estimate of the Quarterly Estimated Construction Costs and
the projected payment schedule are attached as Appendix C. Alabama Power may
revise the schedule from time to time to more accurately reflect more current
estimates of costs and/or to incorporate any needed true-up of estimated costs
to actual costs. Alabama Power shall obtain authorization to proceed prior to
proceeding with planning, construction, installation or testing of the
Interconnection Facilities. Generator shall pay such estimated costs as
specified in the payment schedule in accordance with Section 10. Generator shall
have the right to approve any deviation in the scope of the work if such
deviation would result in an estimated increase of ten percent (10%) or more
over the estimated costs. In no event shall Alabama Power collect from Generator
any estimated payment for any costs unless Alabama Power reasonably expects to
actually incur such costs during the forthcoming Quarter.

                  5.6.2 During the construction of the Interconnection
Facilities, Alabama Power shall true-up the estimated payments to Alabama
Power's actual costs and expenses within a reasonable period of time after such
actual costs and expenses are known but not less often than annually. In the
event that the actual costs and expenses to be paid by Generator are more or
less than Alabama Power's estimate, the difference (either a credit or
additional charge) shall be reflected on a subsequent invoice. Alabama Power
shall issue a final cost report within one hundred twenty (120) Days of the
Facility's commercial operation date. The final report shall set forth in
reasonable detail the actual costs of the Interconnection Facilities and shall
true-up the estimated payments to actual costs. To the extent that the final,
actual costs that are Generator's cost responsibility under this Agreement
exceed the estimated costs already paid by Generator, Alabama Power shall
invoice Generator in accordance with Section 10.1. To the extent that the
estimated costs already paid by Generator exceed the final, actual costs that
are Generator's cost responsibility under this Agreement, Alabama Power shall
refund to Generator an amount equal to the difference within twenty (20) Days of
the issuance of the final cost report.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  5.6.3 Alabama Power shall inform Generator on a monthly basis,
and at such other times as Generator reasonably requests, of the status of the
construction and installation of the Interconnection Facilities, including, but
not limited to, the following information: progress to date; a description of
scheduled activities for the next period; the delivery status of all equipment
ordered; and the identification of any event which Alabama Power reasonably
expects may delay construction of, or increase the cost of, the Interconnection
Facilities.

                  5.6.4 Generator reserves the right, upon written notice to
Alabama Power, to suspend at any time all work by Alabama Power associated with
the construction and installation of the Interconnection Facilities. In such
event, Generator shall be responsible for the costs which Alabama Power (i) has
incurred prior to the suspension to the extent such costs previously were
authorized by Generator and (ii) reasonably incurs in suspending such work,
including without limitation, the costs incurred to ensure the safety of persons
and property and the integrity of the Alabama Power Electric System and the
costs incurred in connection with the cancellation of material and labor
contracts, provided such cancellation has been authorized by Generator. Alabama
Power will invoice Generator pursuant to Section 10.1 and agrees to use
reasonable efforts to minimize its costs. If, after such suspension, Generator
does not provide Alabama Power with written notice to proceed within three
hundred sixty-five (365) Days after the notice of suspension, this Agreement
shall be deemed terminated. If this Agreement is deemed terminated, Generator
shall be responsible for costs reasonably incurred in winding up such work and
the costs incurred in connection with the cancellation of material and labor
contracts, to the extent to which Generator has not already reimbursed Alabama
Power for such costs. Any non-returnable equipment that has not already been
installed by Alabama Power shall become the property of Generator "as is" upon
payment of Alabama Power's costs.

                    SECTION 6: LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

         6.1 Remedies for Breach. Subject to Section 6.2, either Party shall be
liable to the other for any loss resulting directly from any breach of this
Agreement and which at the time of the breach was a reasonable foreseeable
consequence of such breach.

         6.2 Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS PERSONS INDEMNIFIED SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE
OTHER PARTY OR ITS PERSONS INDEMNIFIED FOR ANY CLAIMS, SUITS, ACTIONS OR CAUSES
OF ACTION FOR INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES IN THE CHARACTER OF LOSS OF PROFITS OR
REVENUES, DAMAGES SUFFERED BY GENERATOR'S OR ALABAMA POWER'S CUSTOMERS DUE TO
SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, OR COST OF CAPITAL) CONNECTED WITH, RELATING TO, OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SUCH DAMAGES
WHICH ARE BASED UPON CAUSES OF ACTION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE AND MISREPRESENTATION), BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR
OTHERWISE. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 6.2 SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF FAULT
AND SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION, CANCELLATION, SUSPENSION, COMPLETION, OR
EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         6.3 No Liability for Other Party's Responsibilities. Neither Party nor
its Persons Indemnified assumes any obligation or responsibility of any kind
with respect to the other Party's equipment, including, without limitation,
obligation or responsibility with respect to the condition or operation of said
equipment, except for Generator's obligations and responsibilities hereunder for
the Interconnection Facilities. Neither Party nor its Persons Indemnified shall
be responsible for the transmission, distribution or control of electrical
energy on the other Party's side of the Interconnection Point.

         6.4 Responsibility for Property. Each Party shall be responsible for
all physical damage to or destruction of, or any personal injury or death
associated with, the property, equipment and/or facilities owned by it and
located on its premises, regardless of who brings the claim and regardless of
who caused the damage, and shall not seek recovery or reimbursement from the
other Party or its Persons Indemnified for such damage, except in cases of
breach of this Agreement or the sole negligence or intentional wrongdoing by the
other Party or its Persons Indemnified. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, neither Party nor its Persons Indemnified shall be liable for damages
or injury arising out of or resulting from the simple failure (i.e., failure of
a device not caused by breach of contract, negligence or intentional wrongful
act) of protective devices (e.g., circuit breakers). For purposes of this
Section, a breach of this Agreement by Alabama Power shall be limited to a
failure by it to comply with its obligations under this Agreement regarding the
installation, operation and maintenance of the Interconnection Facilities.

         6.5      Indemnification.
                  ---------------

                  6.5.1 Generator shall at all times indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless Alabama Power and its Persons Indemnified from and against any and all
damages, losses, claims, including claims and actions involving injury to or
death of any person or damage to property, demands, suits, recoveries, costs and

Alabama Power. In the event a test shows such equipment to be inaccurate,
Generator shall make any necessary adjustments, repairs or replacements thereon.

         7.6 Inaccuracies. If the metering fails to register, or if the
measurement made by a metering device is found upon testing to vary by more than
one percent (1.0%) from the measurement made by the standard meter used in the
test, an adjustment shall be made correcting all measurements of energy made by
the metering during (i) the actual period when inaccurate measurements were made
by the metering, if that period can be determined to the mutual satisfaction of
the Parties, or (ii) if the actual period cannot be determined to the mutual
satisfaction of the Parties, one-half of the period from the date of the last
test of the metering to the date such failure is discovered or such test is made
(such period herein the "Adjustment Period"). If the Parties are unable to agree
on the amount of the adjustment to be applied to the Adjustment Period, the
amount of the adjustment shall be determined (a) by correcting the error if the
percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical
calculation, or (b) if not so ascertainable, by estimating on the basis of
deliveries under similar conditions during the period since the last test. In
the event Generator's metering equipment is found to be insufficiently reliable
and/or inaccurate during any consecutive three (3) Month period, Alabama Power
shall have the right to install suitable metering equipment at the
Interconnection Point for the purpose of checking the meters installed by
Generator, and Generator shall pay all costs related to such metering equipment.

             SECTION 8: INITIAL SYNCHRONIZATION AND FACILITY TESTING

                  13.1.7 Subject to the limitations in Section 13.1.6,
Generator's insurance shall be primary insurance with respect to the
installation, operations, maintenance, work, or services contemplated under this
Agreement and insurance of Alabama Power and its Persons Indemnified shall be
excess of the Generator's insurance and shall not contribute with it.

                  13.1.8 To the extent that Generator utilizes deductibles or
self-insurance in connection with the insurance coverage required herein, all
such deductible and self-insured amounts shall be for the account and expense of
Generator and shall not be considered as costs or fees provided for in this
Agreement.

                  13.1.9 If the Generator uses contractors and/or subcontractors
to perform any of the work contemplated under this Agreement, Generator shall
require such contractors and/or subcontractors to maintain in effect insurance
meeting these minimum limits and incorporating the contractual requirements
prescribed by this Section 13.

         13.2 Notice and Certification. Each of the above required policies
shall contain a provision whereby the insurance carrier shall notify Alabama
Power at least thirty (30) Days prior to the effective date of cancellation,
non-renewal or material change in any of said policies. Generator shall submit
to Alabama Power a Certificate, signed by an authorized representative of the
insurance carrier, listing the policies, coverage and limits and certifying that
the said policies shall be in effect for the time periods stated in the
Certificate. The obligations for Generator to procure and maintain insurance
shall not be construed to waive or restrict other obligations.

                            SECTION 14: FORCE MAJEURE

         14.1 Definition of Force Majeure Event. For the purposes of this
Agreement, a "Force Majeure Event" as to a Party means any occurrence,
nonoccurrence or set of circumstances that is beyond the reasonable control of
such Party and is not caused by such Party's fault, negligence or lack of due
diligence, including, without limitation, flood, ice, lightning, earthquake,
windstorm or eruption; fire; explosion; invasion, war, civil disturbance,
commotion or insurrection; sabotage or vandalism; military or usurped power; or
act of God or of a public enemy; provided, however, in no event shall (i) the
inability to meet a Legal Requirement or the change in a Legal Requirement; or
(ii) a site specific strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute constitute
a Force Majeure Event.

         14.2 No Breach or Liability. Each Party shall be excused from
performing its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall not be
liable in damages or otherwise if and to the extent that it is unable to so
perform or is prevented from performing by a Force Majeure Event, provided that
the non-performing Party shall:

                  14.2.1 Give the other Party notice thereof, followed by
written notice if the first notice is not written, both notices to be given as
promptly as possible after the non-performing Party becomes aware of such Force
Majeure Event, describing the particulars of such Force Majeure Event;

                                       26
<PAGE>

                  14.2.2 Use its reasonable best efforts to remedy its inability
to perform as soon as practicable; provided, however, that this Section 14.2.2
shall not require the settlement of any strike, walkout, lockout or other labor
dispute on terms which, in the sole judgment of the Party involved in the
dispute, are contrary to its interest; provided further, that the settlement of
strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes shall be entirely within the
discretion of the Party having the difficulty; and

                  14.2.3 Resume performance of its obligations under this
Agreement and give the other Party written notice to that effect, as soon as
reasonably practicable following cessation of the Force Majeure Event.

         14.3 Suspension of Performance. The suspension of performance due to a
Force Majeure Event shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than
is required by such Force Majeure Event. No Force Majeure Event shall extend
this Agreement beyond its stated Term.

                             SECTION 16: ASSIGNMENT

         16.1     Assignment by Generator.
                  -----------------------

                  16.1.1 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BELOW OR OTHERWISE AGREED
TO BY THE PARTIES, GENERATOR SHALL NOT ASSIGN, TRANSFER, DELEGATE OR ENCUMBER
THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY OR ALL OF ITS RIGHTS, INTERESTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, DELEGATION OR ENCUMBERING BY
GENERATOR (EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BELOW) SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as Generator is not in default under or breach of this
Agreement, upon prior written notice to Alabama Power, Generator may
collaterally assign its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement
to its lender or an agent for the benefit of its lenders providing financing or
refinancing for the design, construction or operation of Generator's Facility in
Autauga County, Alabama (a "Permitted Financing Assignee"); provided, however,
that GENERATOR'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE) UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL CONTINUE IN THEIR ENTIRETY IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF A PRINCIPAL AND NOT AS A SURETY. Generator may
collaterally assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to multiple
Permitted Financing Assignees, but only if those Permitted Financing Assignees
designate one agent to act for them collectively under this Agreement.

                  16.1.2 Alabama Power shall, upon serving Generator any notice
of Default or the termination of this Agreement, also serve a copy of such
notice upon the Permitted Financing Assignee or, in the case of multiple
Permitted Financing Assignees, the agent of those Permitted Financing Assignees.
No notice of Default purporting to terminate this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been given unless and until a copy thereof shall have been given to the
Permitted Financing Assignee or the agent for multiple Permitted Financing
Assignees. A Permitted Financing Assignee shall be entitled to cure any Default
during any cure period provided herein.

                                       28
<PAGE>

                  16.1.3 The Permitted Financing Assignee shall not be entitled
to assign or transfer this Agreement to any purchaser in foreclosure, purchaser
in lieu of foreclosure or similar purchaser or transferee ("Purchaser in
Foreclosure") unless and until such Purchaser in Foreclosure has (i) executed
and delivered to Alabama Power and is in compliance with an agreement in form
and substance acceptable to Alabama Power whereby such Purchaser in Foreclosure
assumes and agrees to pay and perform all then outstanding and thereafter
arising obligations of Generator under this Agreement and (ii) established to
Alabama Power's reasonable satisfaction that such Purchaser in Foreclosure has
all licenses, permits and approvals and financial and technical wherewithal as
may be required to execute, deliver and perform such agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all obligations of Generator to Alabama Power under this
Agreement incurred prior to the time the Purchaser in Foreclosure fully assumes
this Agreement shall also be and remain enforceable by Alabama Power against
Generator. Any assignment to a Purchaser in Foreclosure shall be subject to
Alabama Power's rights hereunder.

                  16.1.4 So long as Generator is not in Default under or breach
of this Agreement, upon prior written notice to Alabama Power, Generator may
absolutely assign all, but not less than all, of its rights, interests and
obligations under this Agreement to another generator ("Outright Assignee")
provided however, that Generator's obligations under this Agreement shall
continue and Alabama Power shall have no obligations to such Outright Assignee
unless and until such Outright Assignee has (i) executed and delivered to
Alabama Power and is in compliance with an agreement in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Alabama Power whereby such Outright Assignee assumes
and agrees to pay and perform all thereafter arising obligations of Generator
under this Agreement and (ii) established to Alabama Power's reasonable
satisfaction that such Outright Assignee has all licenses, permits and approvals
and financial and technical wherewithal as may be required to execute, deliver
and perform such agreement. Any assignment to an Outright Assignee shall be
subject to Alabama Power's rights hereunder.

                  16.1.5 Generator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Alabama Power and its Persons Indemnified from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, judgments, costs
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, howsoever and by whomsoever asserted, arising out of or in any way
connected with any collateral, outright or other assignment by Generator or any
foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by the Permitted Financing Assignee of
this Agreement or Generator's or the Permitted Financing Assignee's rights or
interests under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 16.1, Generator shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless
Alabama Power from and against any loss, liability, obligation, claim, demand,
damage, penalty, judgment, cost or expense to the extent caused by the sole
negligence or willful misconduct Alabama Power or its Persons Indemnified.

                  16.1.6 No agreement between the Parties modifying, amending,
canceling or surrendering this Agreement shall be effective without the prior
written consent of the Permitted Financing Assignee or, in the case of multiple
Permitted Financing Assignees, the agent of those Permitted Financing Assignees.
Subject to any cure periods provided to the Permitted Financing Assignee in this
Agreement or in any consents to assignment, no such prior written consent is
required for Alabama Power to take unilateral action under this Agreement,
including (without limitation) Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 10.2, 12.2 and 12.3.

                                       29
<PAGE>

                  16.1.7 Alabama Power agrees to reasonably cooperate with
Generator and any Permitted Financing Assignee in connection with the collateral
assignment of this Agreement; provided, however, that Alabama Power shall not be
obligated to take any action that could, in its judgment, result in an expansion
of its obligations, risks or liabilities or a violation of any law, regulation
or order of a Governmental Authority.

         16.2 Assignment by Alabama Power. So long as Alabama Power is not in
breach of this Agreement, Alabama Power may, at any time, without notice to, or
the consent of, Generator or any other Person, including, without limitation,
any Permitted Financing Assignee, Purchaser in Foreclosure or Outright Assignee,
sell, assign, delegate, encumber or transfer to any Indenture Trustee,
Affiliate, any successor by merger or otherwise of Alabama Power or any
Qualified Person, and/or create or permit to exist Permitted Liens against, all
or any part of this Agreement and/or Alabama Power's rights, obligations, title
or interest in, to and under this Agreement. Provided, however, Generator
reserves its right to oppose any such assignment before any Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction.

                            SECTION 17: MISCELLANEOUS

         17.1 Alabama Power's Agent. Wherever this Agreement requires Generator
to provide information, schedules, notice or the like to, or to take direction
from, Alabama Power, Generator shall provide information, schedules, notice or
the like to, or receive from, Alabama Power or such agent of Alabama Power as
Alabama Power may direct from time to time.

         17.2 No Partnership. Generator and Alabama Power do not intend for this

partnership, association taxable as a corporation, or other entity for the
conduct of any business for profit.

benefit of and be binding upon any  respective successors and assigns of

be construed to create any duty,  obligation or liability of a Party to any
person or entity not a Party to this Agreement.

         17.5 No Affiliate Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, no Affiliate of either Party (including without limitation any
Affiliate acting as either Party's agent where said agent is given certain
authorities pursuant hereto) shall have any liability whatsoever for either
Party's performance, nonperformance or delay in performance under this
Agreement.

         17.6     Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

         17.7 No Waiver. Neither Alabama Power's nor Generator's failure to
enforce any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall in any way be

                                       30
<PAGE>

construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions as to any future
violation thereof, nor prevent it from enforcing each and every other provision
of this Agreement at such time or at any time thereafter. The waiver by either
Alabama Power or Generator of any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver
of its right to assert said right or remedy, at any time thereafter, or any
other rights or remedies available to it at the time of or any time after such
waiver.

         17.8 Amendments. Except as provided in Section 12.3, this Agreement may

         17.12 Section Headings. The descriptive headings of the various
Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only
and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

         17.13 Including. Wherever the term "including" is used in this

statement, clause, phrase or term.

         17.14 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and performance of
this Agreement, and each of its provisions, are subject to and shall be governed
by applicable federal law, and where not preempted by federal law, by the laws
of the State of Alabama, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles.

         17.15 Merger. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between

between the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, whether oral
or written, are hereby superseded.

         17.16 NERC. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, Generator shall

Practices.

Code, the National Electrical Safety Code and other applicable code

                                       32
<PAGE>

suppliers, vendors and borrowed employees against injuries. Each Party shall be
solely responsible for providing for the safety of its facilities and premises

borrowed employees.

         17.19 Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall mean any
confidential and/or proprietary information provided by Alabama Power or
Generator ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party") and which
is clearly marked or otherwise designated as "CONFIDENTIAL." For purposes of
this Agreement, all design, operating specifications and metering data provided
by Generator shall be deemed confidential regardless of whether it is clearly
marked or otherwise designated as such. Except as otherwise provided herein,
each Party shall hold in confidence and shall not disclose Confidential
Information to any person (except employees, officers, representatives and
agents that agree to be bound by this Section 17 or FERC's Standards of
Conduct). Confidential Information shall not include information that the
Receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) is generally available to the public other
than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party; (b) was in the lawful
possession of the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis before receiving
it from the Disclosing Party; (c) was supplied to the Receiving Party without
restriction by a third party, who, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, was
under no obligation to the Disclosing Party to keep such information
confidential; (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without
reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (e) was
disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party. Alabama
Power, or its agent acting as Transmission Provider under the Tariff, may
release or disclose certain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to
other Transmission Providers, SERC, or NERC if necessary or appropriate in
connection with its role as Transmission Provider. If a court, government agency
or entity with the right, power, and authority to do so, requests or requires
either Party, by subpoena, oral deposition, interrogatories, requests for
production of documents, administrative order, or otherwise, to disclose
Confidential Information, that Party shall provide the other Party with prompt
notice of such request(s) or requirement(s) so that the other Party may seek an
appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. In the absence of a protective order or waiver the Party shall
disclose such Confidential Information which, in the opinion of its counsel, the
Party is legally compelled to disclose. Each Party will use reasonable efforts
to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any
Confidential Information so furnished.

         17.20 Cooperation. Each Party to this Agreement shall reasonably
cooperate with the other as to all aspects relating to the performance of its
respective obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, this agreement
of cooperation shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment of either Party's
rights under this Agreement in law or equity.

         17.21 Negotiated Agreement. The Parties agree that this Agreement is
the result of mutual compromise and shall not be construed as having been
drafted by either Party. The Parties agree to support the acceptance of the
Agreement in its entirety by FERC.

         17.22 Subcontractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
preventing either Party from utilizing the services of subcontractors as it
deems appropriate; provided, however, that all such contractors comply with the
applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. The creation of any
subcontract relationship shall not relieve the retaining Party of any of its
obligations under this Agreement.

                                   APPENDIX A

                           INTERCONNECTION PROCEDURES

         The following requirements apply to Generator's Facility when operated
in parallel with the Alabama Power Electric System.

         A.       Operating Limits.
                  ----------------

         In order to minimize objectionable and adverse operating conditions on
the electric service provided to other customers by Alabama Power, the Facility
shall meet the following operating criteria:

                  1.       Voltage.
                           -------

         When Generator is delivering power to the Alabama Power Electric
System, Generator shall operate its generation to meet the voltage schedule, as
measured at the transmission bus serving the Facility, communicated by Alabama
Power. The current voltage schedules for the Interconnection Point to the
Facility is attached to this Appendix A. If the Generator cannot hold the
voltage schedule but is producing or absorbing its maximum amount of MVARs for
the level of MW output that it is then operating at, then that is acceptable
performance provided that each unit of the Generator that is then generating is
producing no less than 0.33 MVAR/MW x the unit's Continuous Rated MW Output or
absorbing no less than 0.23 MVAR/MW x the unit's Continuous Rated MW Output. For
purposes of this paragraph, the "Continuous Rated MW Output" for each of the
Generator's units comprising the Facility shall be two (2) CT's and one (1) ST
with a total output of 630 MW.

                  2.       Frequency.
                           ---------

         The Facility shall maintain a nominal operating frequency of 60 hertz.
Generator may be required to assist in supporting system frequency if requested
by Alabama Power.

                  3.       Governor Characteristics.
                           ------------------------

         The Facility shall be capable of providing an immediate and sustained
response to abnormal frequency excursions within the machine design parameters.
The governors shall be properly maintained and shall provide droop
characteristics consistent with the requirements of NERC, SERC and the Alabama
Power Electric System. At a minimum, governors shall be fully responsive to
frequency deviations consistent with the requirements of NERC, SERC and the
Alabama Power Electric System during normal operating conditions only, as
defined by Good Utility Practices. In no event shall the governors be blocked by
Generator without the express written permission of Alabama Power.

                                       1

                  4.       Minimum Acceptable Reactive Capability.
                           --------------------------------------

         a. Reactive Power Production. At continuous rated output, simulations
must show that Generator's Facility shall have the capability of dynamically
supplying at least 0.33 MVARs at the 500 kV Interconnection Point for each MW
supplied when the Facility is tested at 1.02% of nominal voltage.

         b. Reactive Power Absorption. The Facility shall also be capable of
dynamically absorbing 0.23 MVARs from the transmission system for each MW
supplied at the 500 kV Interconnection Point during simulations when the
Facility is tested at 1.05% of nominal voltage,. Simple Cycle combustion
turbines used as peaking generation may be exempted from the MVAR absorption
requirements.

                  5.       Harmonics.
                           ---------

         The Facility shall not introduce excessive distortion to the Alabama
Power Electric System's voltage and current waveforms. The harmonic distortion
measurements shall be made at the transmission facility serving the Facility and
be within the limits specified in the tables below.

                           5.1      Current Harmonics.

         B.       Generator Step-Up Transformer.
                  -----------------------------

         To minimize possible adverse effects on other Alabama Power customers,
a power transformer is required between the Facility and the Alabama Power
Electric System. This transformer's windings shall be connected according to the
requirements of Alabama Power.

         C.       Energization of Alabama Power Equipment by Generator.
                  ----------------------------------------------------

         Generator shall not energize, or de-energize, Alabama Power equipment.
The necessary control devices shall be installed by Generator on the Facility to
prevent the energization of de-energized Alabama Power equipment by Generator's
Facility.

         D.       Synchronization of Generator's Facility.
                  ---------------------------------------

         Generator is responsible for the synchronization of the Facility to the
Alabama Power Electric System. Alabama Power shall have bus differential
relaying at the Interconnection Point and Generator must insure that its
Facility is disconnected from Alabama Power whenever the bus is de-energized.
Alabama Power may re-energize the bus by remote control and Alabama Power shall
not be responsible for damage to Facility due to an out of phase condition
during re-energization.

         E.       Telemetered Quantities.
                  ----------------------

         Alabama Power shall provide the data protocol, and Generator shall
install as part of the Interconnection Facilities any equipment necessary to

                  2.2.1 Georgia Power is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia, is
qualified to do business in the State of Georgia and has the legal power and
authority to own or lease its properties, to conduct its business and to enter
into this Agreement and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and
perform and carry out all covenants and obligations on its part to be performed
under and pursuant to this Agreement.

                  2.2.2 The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the fulfillment of and
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement do not and will not conflict
with or constitute a breach of or a default under, any of the terms, conditions
or provisions of any Legal Requirements, or any partnership agreement, deed of
trust, mortgage, loan agreement, other evidence of indebtedness or any other
agreement or instrument to which Georgia Power is a party or by which it or any
of its property is bound, or result in a breach of or a default under any of the
foregoing.

                  2.2.3 This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Georgia Power enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally or by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                  2.2.4 There is no pending, or to the knowledge of Georgia
Power, threatened action or proceeding affecting Georgia Power before any
Governmental Authority which purports to affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                TERM OF AGREEMENT
         3.1      Term.

                  3.1.1 This Agreement shall be effective when executed and
delivered by both Georgia Power and Dynegy and shall remain in full force and
effect until May 31, 2005.

                  3.1.2 Applicable provisions of this Agreement shall continue
in effect (i) after termination to the extent necessary to provide for final
billings and adjustments, and (ii) as provided herein. Provisions that expressly
survive the termination of this Agreement after the Term shall similarly survive
the early termination of this Agreement for any of the reasons giving rise to
early termination as provided herein.

         3.2      Contract Commencement Date.
                  3.2.1 With regard to Block 1, the Contract Commencement Date
shall mean either June 1, 2000, or July 1, 2000. Georgia Power shall select the
Contract Commencement Date for Block 1 no later than May 1, 2000, by delivering
to Dynegy written notice containing the date on which the Contract Commencement
Date for Block 1 shall occur. Once designated, Georgia Power may not thereafter
change or redesignate the Contract Commencement Date for Block 1. If Georgia
Power originally designates July 1, 2000, as the Contract Commencement Date for
Block 1, but later determines that Block 1 will be available June 1, 2000,
Dynegy will have [redacted] after receipt of notice of such early availability
within which to elect to accept the Contract Capacity and the right to commence
Scheduling Block 1 on June 1, 2000, on the terms and at the rates set forth in
this Agreement. If Dynegy elects not to exercise the option described in the
preceding sentence, then Georgia Power shall have until July 1, 2000, before
making the Contract Capacity for Block 1 available to Dynegy. With regard to
Block 2 and Block 3, the Contract Commencement Date for both Blocks shall be
June 1, 2001. The Contract Commencement Date for Blocks 2 and 3 may not be
re-designated at any time except as provided in Section 3.2.2.

                  3.2.2 Georgia Power shall make available on the applicable
Contract Commencement Date for each Block, the Contract Capacity for such Block
together with the right of Dynegy to Schedule energy from the Contract Capacity.
However, if for Blocks 2 and 3, Georgia Power gives notice that the Service
Commencement Date shall be earlier than the Contract Commencement Date, the
Parties shall engage in negotiations, to be completed within [redacted]
following such notice, concerning the terms upon which the Contract Capacity for
Blocks 2 and 3 would be made available to Dynegy prior to the Contract
Commencement Date. If the Parties are unable to negotiate the terms of such
early commencement, then Georgia Power shall have until the Contract
Commencement Date before making the Contract Capacity for Blocks 2 and 3
available to Dynegy.

                  3.2.3 If, as of the Contract Commencement Date for any Block,
Georgia Power elects to delay the Service Commencement Date solely as a result
of the failure of any one or any combination of the Units to have reached a
state of construction completion so that such Unit is capable of delivering a
quantity of energy continuously over a period of hours and at the level that may
be Scheduled by Dynegy, then Georgia Power may elect to delay the Service
Commencement Date for a particular Block. If Georgia Power elects to delay the
foregoing Service Commencement Date for the reasons set forth in this Section
3.2.3, Georgia Power shall provide notice to Dynegy establishing a date on which
the Service Commencement Date will occur (the "Delayed Service Commencement
Date"). For the period from the Contract Commencement Date to the Delayed
Service Commencement Date, Georgia Power shall provide Dynegy with capacity and
energy equal to the Contract Capacity and associated energy attributable to the
Block for which the Delayed Service Commencement Date is applicable. Dynegy
shall be permitted to schedule such capacity and energy as Delivered Energy
under this Agreement to the same extent that Dynegy would have been able to
Schedule the Contract Capacity attributable to the Block subject to the Delayed
Service Commencement Date had the Contract Commencement Date occurred on the
appropriate date for such Block provided in Section 3.2.1. If during the period
from the Contract Commencement Date specified in Section 3.2.1 for the Block
subject to the Delayed Service Commencement Date Georgia Power is unable to
deliver Scheduled energy to Dynegy, then Georgia Power shall be [redacted].
Notwithstanding the Delayed Service Commencement Date, for a particular Block,
Dynegy shall nevertheless commence paying the Capacity Payment attributable to
and appropriate for such Block beginning on the Contract Commencement Date for
such Block specified in Section 3.2.1

                                    ARTICLE 4
                           SALE OF CAPACITY AND ENERGY

         4.1      Contract Capacity.

                  4.1.1 Unless excused as set forth in Article 12, Georgia Power
agrees to sell to Dynegy and Dynegy agrees to purchase from Georgia Power the
Contract Capacity as set forth below and continuing for the remainder of the
Term.

                  4.1.2 Contract Capacity shall consist of (i) 75 MW (Block 1)
commencing on the date specified as the Contract Commencement Date for Block 1
in Article 3, and (ii) an additional 150 MW composed of two 75 MW Blocks (Blocks
2 and 3) commencing on the date specified as the Contract Commencement Date for
Blocks 2 and 3 in Article 3, for a total of 225 MW. While various performance,
timing and Scheduling provisions of this Agreement are determined by reference
to the Blocks, the Delivered Energy sold hereunder may be supplied by Georgia
Power from any generation resources it may choose at its sole option. Without
regard to whether Delivered Energy supplied under this Agreement is sourced from
the Units or from Alternate Resources, Georgia Power shall under all
circumstances be required to deliver energy properly Scheduled by Dynegy to the
Delivery Point.

                                    PAYMENTS

         5.1 Monthly Payments. Dynegy shall pay Georgia Power for each Month of
the Term, a Monthly Capacity Payment, a Monthly Energy Payment and Monthly
Dispatch Payments in accordance with this Article, and if applicable, the Force
Majeure Fixed Payment in lieu of the Monthly Capacity Payment.

         5.2      Capacity  Payments.  For each Month beginning with the
Contract  Commencement Date and continuing hrough the  remaining  Term,  Dynegy
 shall make a Monthly Capacity Payment to Georgia  Power in the amounts set
forth on Exhibit A.  [redacted].

         5.3      Energy Payment.

                  5.3.1 Each Month, Dynegy shall make a Monthly Energy Payment
to Georgia Power. For each Dispatch during the Month, the energy payment shall
equal the MWh of Delivered Energy multiplied by the Energy Price. The Energy
Price equals the Fuel Costs as determined below plus the Variable O & M Amount
for the applicable period as set forth in Exhibit A. The Monthly Energy Payment
shall equal the sum of the energy payments per Dispatch.

                  5.3.2 Dynegy shall provide its own Fuel supply to the Units
unless Georgia Power, in its sole discretion, elects to provide energy from
Alternate Resources. The circumstances under which Georgia Power may elect to
provide Scheduled energy from Alternate Resources is addressed in Section 8.1.3.
To the extent Dynegy supplies Fuel to the Units or alternate Fuel delivery
points pursuant to Section 5.3.3, the Energy Price shall not include any Fuel
Costs.

                  5.3.3 When Georgia Power elects to supply energy from
Alternate Resources, [redacted], Dynegy shall offer a delivered Fuel price.
Georgia Power shall then elect to (i) accept delivery of Fuel at Plant Dahlberg,
(ii) accept delivery of Fuel at alternate Fuel delivery points such that
[redacted], or (iii) accept Dynegy's Fuel price for purposes of determining a
Fuel Cost, which shall equal the Contract Heat Rate multiplied by Dynegy's Fuel
price.

         5.4      Monthly  Dispatch  Payments.  Dynegy  shall  make  Dispatch
Payments  for each  Dispatch  of the Contract Capacity in the amount of
[redacted] as set forth in Exhibit A.

                                 FUEL MANAGEMENT
         6.1      Fuel for Operations; Delivery and Acceptance.

                  6.1.1 With respect to agreements for the supply of Fuel with
the Interstate Pipeline, Dynegy shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to negotiate such agreements to contain the following provisions: (i) require
the quality of Fuel supplied or transported to conform to the natural gas
quality specification applicable in the performance warranty obtained from the
manufacturer of the natural gas turbines included in each of the Units, (ii) the
right to reject Non-Conforming Fuel, and (iii) supply Fuel to the Fuel Metering
Points at a pressure not less than the minimum requirements of the Units. To the
extent the tariff or Dynegy's agreements with the Interstate Pipeline provides
for recovery or indemnification for damages the shipper suffers as a result of
the Interstate Pipeline's delivery of Non-Conforming Fuel, Dynegy will collect
and distribute to Georgia Power any recovery due from the Interstate Pipeline to
the extent a Unit is damaged by the delivery of Non-Conforming Fuel; provided
that, to the extent such recovery is allocable to transportation transactions
unrelated to the Units, such recovery may be equitably allocated among all such
affected transactions.

                  6.1.2 To the extent Georgia Power has indicated pursuant to
Section 8.1 that Scheduled Energy will be provided from one or more of the
Units, Dynegy shall at all times arrange, procure, supply, nominate, balance,
transport, pay for and deliver to the Fuel Metering Points, the amount of Fuel
necessary to generate the Scheduled energy based on the Contract Heat Rate for
the period of the Schedule. All Fuel required to be delivered under this
Agreement shall be delivered by Dynegy at the Fuel Metering Points. As long as
the Units are available for Scheduling and are not subject to a Force Majeure
Event, an Unavailability Event or supply from an Alternate Resource, Georgia
Power shall accept all Fuel, other than Non-Conforming Fuel, required by such
Unit delivered by Dynegy at the Fuel Metering Points pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

         6.2      Risk of Loss.  As between the Parties, [redacted].
                  ------------

         6.3      Measurement and Quality of Fuel.

                  6.3.1 All Fuel to be supplied by Dynegy pursuant to the terms

the specification for gas delivered to the Interstate Pipeline.

                  6.3.2 Georgia Power shall notify Dynegy if any Fuel made
available by Dynegy to Georgia Power under this Agreement is Non-Conforming
Fuel. Georgia Power may refuse to accept delivery of such Non-Conforming Fuel
and such Non-Conforming Fuel shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed
not to have been provided by Dynegy under this Agreement.

         6.4      Failure to Deliver Fuel; Imbalance.

                           6.4.1    Whenever  Georgia  Power has indicated
pursuant to Section 8.1 that  Scheduled energy will be provided from one or
more of the Units, if Dynegy fails to deliver Fuel of proper quality in the
proper amounts at the times necessary to operate such Unit(s), then Georgia
Power shall be excused from any energy delivery obligation under this Agreement.

                           6.4.2    The Parties  shall  exercise  Commercially
Reasonable  Efforts to minimize any imbalances or other penalties or charges
from transporters resulting from the provisions of Fuel by Dynegy. In general,
the Parties agree that the Party whose action or inaction causes any imbalance
or other penalties or charges will bear the financial responsibility for said
imbalance or other penalties or charges.

                                  AVAILABILITY

         7.1      Curtailments and Excuse.
                  7.1.1 Georgia Power's obligation to deliver Contract Capacity
and energy pursuant to this Agreement, and Dynegy's right to Schedule pursuant
to this Agreement, will be curtailed if and to the extent that an Unavailability
Event or a Force Majeure Event occurs and continues during any portion of the
Term; provided, that Georgia Power's obligation and Dynegy's right shall be
curtailed only for the actual duration of such Unavailability Event or Force
Majeure Event and for no longer period. Upon notice from Georgia Power to Dynegy
that an Unavailability Event or Force Majeure Event, as applicable, has ended
and that a particular Block or Blocks are once again available for Scheduling,
any Unavailability Event or Force Majeure Event then in effect shall end, and
Scheduling may resume.

                  7.1.2 Georgia Power and Dynegy agree that Georgia Power shall
not be permitted to use ENDH unless the Units are experiencing an Unavailability
Event.

                  7.1.3 Georgia Power shall promptly notify Dynegy of the
occurrence of an Unavailability Event or after discovering any circumstance that
could reasonably be expected to lead to an Unavailability Event. In the event of
an Unavailability Event, the period after commencement of such Unavailability
Event shall be divided into two distinct, contiguous periods: (i) the period
beginning at the time of the occurrence of the Unavailability Event until the
earlier of the removal of the Unavailability Event or 12:00 midnight (Central
Prevailing Time) of the Day in which such occurrence happens (the "Determination
Period") and (ii) the period from the end of the Determination Period until the
removal of the Unavailability Event (the "Extended Outage Period").

                  7.1.4 After the commencement of the Extended Outage Period, as
soon as practicable Georgia Power shall notify Dynegy of: (i) the cause (or if
not known, Georgia Power's best estimate of the cause) of the Unavailability
Event resulting therefrom; (ii) the proposed corrective action that can be taken
by Georgia Power relative to the Units and (iii) Georgia Power's best estimate
of the expected duration of the Extended Outage Period.

                  7.1.5 Georgia Power's estimate of the duration of the
Unavailability Event shall be based on the best information then available to
Georgia Power and Georgia Power shall promptly notify Dynegy of any expected
changes in such period.

                  7.1.6 Consistent with Prudent Utility Practices, Georgia Power
shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to avoid an Unavailability Event and
to minimize the duration of any Unavailability Event.

                  7.2      Georgia Power Elections;  [redacted].

                  7.2.1 Georgia Power shall, within [redacted] of the occurrence
of the event causing such Unavailability Event (the "Election Period"), provide
telephonic notice (which shall be confirmed in writing as soon as practicable)
to Dynegy indicating whether Georgia Power will elect to provide energy from
Alternate Resources equivalent to the quantity of energy Scheduled by Dynegy,
use ENDH or pay [redacted]. Such notice shall be provided prior to [redacted]
after any hour during the Election Period. The Election Period shall be deemed
to have ended at the end of said hour. Such notice shall indicate Georgia
Power's election for the remainder of the Determination Period and, if
applicable, will indicate whether Georgia Power will elect to provide energy
from Alternate Resources for the first Day of the Extended Outage Period.
Georgia Power's elections for the Determination Period and the first day of the
Extended Outage Period may be different. If Georgia Power fails to deliver such
notice during the Election Period, it shall be conclusively presumed that
[redacted]. During the Election Period, [redacted].

                  7.2.2 On each Day of the Extended Outage Period, with respect
to any Unavailability Event, Georgia Power shall, within [redacted] of receipt
of Dynegy's Dispatch Schedule, but no earlier than 8:30 a.m. CPT, provide
telephonic notice (which shall be confirmed in writing as soon as practicable)
to Dynegy indicating whether Georgia Power will elect to cover any energy
Scheduled by Dynegy during the Extended Outage Period that as a result of the
Extended Outage Period cannot be delivered by Georgia Power, by providing energy
from Alternate Resources. Such notice shall indicate Georgia Power's election
for Dispatches Scheduled during the Day immediately following the Day on which
such notice is given. Such notice shall specify the portion of the resultant
energy Scheduled by Dynegy to be covered by delivery of energy from Alternate
Resources. On each Day of the Extended Outage Period for which Georgia Power has
elected not to provide energy from Alternate Resources, Georgia Power shall,
within [redacted] of receipt of Dynegy's Schedule, but no earlier than 8:30
a.m., CPT, notify Dynegy of its choice to use ENDH or [redacted] to cover
Dynegy's Schedule for that Day.

                  7.2.3 In the Determination Period or Extended Outage Period:
(i) if Georgia Power elects to use ENDH for any particular Dispatch during the
Unavailability Event, Georgia Power must use ENDH [redacted]; (ii) [redacted];
and (iii) if Georgia Power elects to deliver energy from Alternate Resources in
replacement of energy Scheduled by Dynegy that would otherwise be undelivered
due to an Unavailability Event, Georgia Power must do so [redacted].

                  7.2.4 During any Determination Period or Extended Outage
Period, Georgia Power may elect to [redacted]. [redacted]. If the ENDH limits
described in Exhibit B are depleted in any Contract Year, Georgia Power shall
thereafter for the remainder of such Contract Year during any period in which
Dynegy has Scheduled energy for delivery and there exists an Unavailability
Event, either provide energy from Alternate Resources equal to the amount of
energy Scheduled by Dynegy, or elect not to provide energy from Alternate
Resources and [redacted].

                  7.2.5 In any circumstance where Georgia Power has the option
to use ENDH, if the ENDH is exhausted during any Schedule, Georgia Power shall
be required to [redacted].

         7.3      Use of Equivalent Excused Non-Delivery Hours.

                  7.3.1 Where Georgia Power has elected to use Excused
Non-Delivery Hours as provided above in lieu of providing energy from Alternate
Resources, the Excused Non-Delivery Hour shall be converted to an Equivalent
Excused Non-Delivery Hour equal to the product of (i) the hour or fraction of
the hour in which Scheduled energy was not delivered due to the Unavailability
Event, and (ii) the appropriate [redacted].

                  7.3.2 Use of Equivalent ENDH for Peak Hours during the Summer
Months shall be equal to the sum of Equivalent ENDH which have occurred during
Peak Hours during the Summer Months of the Year. Use of Equivalent ENDH for Peak
Hours during the Non-Summer Months shall be equal to the sum of Equivalent ENDH
which have occurred during Peak Hours during the Non-Summer Months of the Year.

                  7.3.3 For each respective period, the sum of Equivalent ENDH
shall not exceed the ENDH Allowance limits as set forth in Exhibit B. If the
ENDH Allowance is depleted, and Georgia Power does not provide energy from
Alternate Resources, then [redacted].

         7.4      [redacted].
                  7.4.1    [redacted]

                  7.4.2    [redacted].

         7.5 Remedy. Dynegy's sole and exclusive remedy for energy not delivered
from Alternate Resources during Peak Hours where the ENDH Allowance may be
exceeded as set forth in this Article is [redacted] Georgia Power shall incur no
liability and shall not use ENDH [redacted] in respect of an Unavailability
Event during non-Peak Hours.

question or contest the correctness of any charge or credit on such invoice or
statement.

         9.3 Interest. If a Party does not make a payment required by this
Agreement when due then interest shall be added to the overdue payment from the
date such overdue payment was due until such overdue payment together with
interest at the Interest Rate is paid. If a Party makes a payment required by
the Agreement and it is later determined that such payment was not due, then
such amount shall be refunded or credited with interest at the Interest Rate
accruing from the date that the returned payment was originally made.

         9.4 Billing and Payment Records. Until the end of [redacted] after its
receipt of any invoice, each Party will make available to the other Party upon
written request, and each Party may audit, such books and records of the other
Party (or other information to which such Party has access) as are reasonably
necessary for such Party to calculate and determine the Monthly Energy Payments
or Force Majeure Fixed Payment shown on such invoice and thereby to verify the
accuracy and appropriateness of the amounts billed to Dynegy and the information
provided by Dynegy to Georgia Power. The Parties shall maintain their respective
books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable from time to time.

         10.1     Contract Capacity and Contract Heat Rate.
                  ----------------------------------------

                  10.1.1 While the Parties acknowledge that Georgia Power may
construct the Units, energy actually delivered under this Agreement may be
provided from any generation resource available to Georgia Power at Georgia
Power's sole discretion, and except where specifically noted, operation of the
Units may not necessarily be tied directly to Scheduling of energy in Blocks by
Dynegy. Regardless of the source of energy to be delivered to Dynegy under this
Agreement, Georgia Power shall at all times deliver such energy to the Delivery
Point.

                  10.1.2   The Contract Heat Rate for each Block shall be
[redacted].

                  10.1.3 Georgia Power intends to operate its system in
accordance with Prudent Utility Practices, and otherwise in accordance with this
Agreement.

         10.2     Transmission.

                  10.2.1 Georgia Power shall be responsible for making all
arrangements for transmission service, including ancillary services, for
delivery of Contract Capacity and energy to the Delivery Point. Georgia Power
shall be responsible for all costs, losses, and any liability associated with
such transmission.

                  10.2.2 Dynegy shall be responsible for making all arrangements
for transmission service, including ancillary services, for delivery of Contract
Capacity and energy from the Delivery Point. Dynegy shall be responsible for all
costs, losses and any liability associated with such transmission.

         10.3     Maintenance.
                  -----------

                  10.3.1 Except as provided for in Section 10.3.4, Georgia Power
shall not be permitted to use Annual Hours during any Summer Month.

                  10.3.2 At least [redacted] before June 1 of each Contract Year
and at least [redacted] prior to the applicable Contract Commencement Date,
Dynegy shall provide to Georgia Power a non-binding proposed Schedule of MWhs
Dispatches of Blocks 1, 2, and 3 for the Contract Capacity for each Month of the
ensuing Contract Year. Within [redacted] of receiving Dynegy's proposed
schedule, Georgia Power shall submit to Dynegy a proposed schedule of Annual
Hours for the period covered by the proposed Dispatch and Schedule provided by
Dynegy. The proposed schedule of Annual Hours shall give due consideration to,
and shall take into account, the proposed Schedule submitted by Dynegy;
provided, however, that in no event shall [redacted]. Within [redacted] after
receiving Georgia Power's proposed schedule of Annual Hours, Dynegy may request,
in writing, that Georgia Power reschedule any such Annual Hours. Georgia Power
shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate such request in the scheduling of
Annual Hours. In scheduling maintenance for its generating facilities Georgia
Power shall make no adverse distinction against the Units.

                  10.3.3 Contract Years in which Annual Hours include a
combustion inspection, a hot gas inspection or a major inspection with respect
to any generation equipment from which the Contract Capacity attributable to
Blocks 1, 2, and 3 may be sourced, the duration of the Annual Hours shall be
determined in accordance with the equipment manufacturers' then current
recommendations; provided that for purposes of this Section 10, the
manufacturers' recommendations shall be determined in accordance with the
formulae provided by the relevant equipment manufacturers and shall be
consistent with the formulae provided by such equipment manufacturers that is
typical for similar equipment, which formulae may be revised from time to time
by such manufacturers. If such recommendations or formulae are revised by such
manufacturers to decrease the intervals at which a combustion inspection, a hot
gas inspection and/or a major inspection is recommended to occur with respect to
a Unit, then the number of Annual Hours shall be amended to reflect the
increased hours effected by such decreased intervals, with the intent that
Georgia Power will be able to include all hours included in the decreased
intervals in the Annual Hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision
herein, Georgia Power shall use Prudent Utility Practices to complete and
minimize the duration of Annual Hours. To the extent that hours which are, or
which would otherwise be considered, Annual Hours exceed the total Annual Hours
available to Georgia Power in any Contract Year, then to the extent that Georgia
Power incurs Unavailability as a result of such exceedance, Georgia Power shall
have the right to make the elections specified in Article 7 with regard to such
Unavailability.

                  10.3.4 In addition to the Annual Hours provided for in
Sections 10.3.2 and 10.3.3, Georgia Power shall be entitled to perform
additional maintenance during the [redacted] Months during non-Peak Hours. If
maintenance is to be scheduled on a Saturday, Sunday or a NERC holiday, Georgia
Power shall provide telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) as soon as
practicable prior to the Day on which the additional maintenance is projected to
commence. Dynegy shall have the right to request that Georgia Power perform said
maintenance during other mutually agreeable periods and Georgia Power shall make
Commercially Reasonable Efforts, consistent with Prudent Utility Practices, to
accommodate Dynegy's requests.

                  10.3.5 With respect to the Annual Hours, Georgia Power and
Dynegy agree that, in addition to the other provisions of this Section 10.3,
Annual Hours are intended to encompass periods during which the generating units
comprising the Units and encompassing the Blocks are unavailable for dispatch by
any party. Therefore, Georgia Power shall not be permitted to designate Annual
Hours and simultaneously operate the Units. The limitation specified in this
Section 10.3.5 shall apply in every instance in which Annual Hours are
designated or used.

         10.4 Operating Procedures. Dynegy and Georgia Power shall develop
written operating procedures before synchronization of the Units with the
Georgia Integrated Transmission System. The operating procedures shall establish
the protocol under which the Parties shall perform their respective
responsibilities under this Agreement and shall include, but shall not
necessarily be limited to, method of Day-to-Day communications, key personnel
lists for Georgia Power and Dynegy, ENDH and Annual Hour reporting, daily
capacity level and energy reports, coordinating Fuel arrangements and the
operating procedures for Fuel supply, the resolution of disputes and the
allocation of Fuel delivered to the Units.

                    CHANGE IN LAW, MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT

         11.1     Change in Law.
                  11.1.1 The Parties acknowledge that a change of a law or
regulation or a change in interpretation of a law or regulation ("Change in
Law"), including but not limited to environmental laws and regulations may
significantly change Georgia Power's costs in providing service under this
Agreement. In the event of such a Change in Law, Georgia Power may give notice
to Dynegy that Georgia Power's costs of providing service under this Agreement
have changed significantly. In such case, Georgia Power shall submit to Dynegy a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of, and the calculation
for, the increased costs, and the Parties shall enter into negotiations in an
effort to arrive at a mutually agreeable amendment to this Agreement that would
accommodate the impact of the Change in Law. If after a period of [redacted]
following the commencement of the negotiations, the Parties have not reached
agreement, then Georgia Power shall have the option, in its sole discretion, (i)
to continue this Agreement unamended; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement as of
the next [redacted] first to occur and which is at least [redacted] after the
end of the [redacted] negotiation period; provided, however, that during any
[redacted] Month this Agreement remains in effect after a Change in Law has
resulted in increased costs to Georgia Power, Dynegy will make increased
payments as reasonably calculated by Georgia Power in good faith to take account
of such increased costs.

                  11.1.2 For purposes of this Article, Changes In Law include,
but are not limited to, changes in environmental laws or regulations and energy
taxes on wholesale power sales. Applicable environmental laws and regulations
may seek either to decrease current limits (e.g., NOx), or to establish limits
for currently uncontrolled substances (e.g., CO2), on any plant emission.
Covered costs include, but are not limited to changes in chemicals, consumables,
O&M, emission allowance purchases, carrying costs and efficiency impacts.

         11.2 Modification of Agreement. In the event the FERC or any other
Governmental Authority modifies this Agreement, the Parties agree to make all
changes necessary to preserve as nearly as possible the bargain contained in
this Agreement, including but not limited to, the total amounts of capacity and
energy delivered to Dynegy and the total amount of revenues to be received by
Georgia Power.

                                  FORCE MAJEURE

         12.1 Definition of Force Majeure. For the purposes of this Agreement, a
"Force Majeure Event" as to a Party means any occurrence, nonoccurrence or set
of circumstances, whether or not foreseeable, that is beyond the reasonable
control of such Party and is not caused by such Party's negligence, including,
without limitation: any strike, stoppage in labor, failure of contractors or
suppliers of materials or services caused by Force Majeure as defined in the
applicable contract: flood, ice, earthquake, windstorm or eruption; fire;
explosion; invasion, riot, war, commotion or insurrection; sabotage, terrorism
or vandalism; military or usurped power; order of any Governmental Authority; or
act of God or of a public enemy. The term Force Majeure Event shall not include

obtain any applicable governmental approvals for the construction or operation
of the Units from any Governmental Authority, (iv) changes in market conditions
that affect the cost of fuel, capacity or energy; or (v) difficulty or inability
to make payments.

         12.2 No Breach or Liability. Either Party shall be excused from
performance and shall not be construed to be in default in respect of any
obligation hereunder (other than the obligation to pay money) for so long as
failure to perform such obligation shall be due to a Force Majeure Event.

         12.3     Capacity and Energy  Payments.  During the suspension of
 performance  due to or resulting from a Force Majeure Event declared by
 Georgia Power, Dynegy shall continue to make Monthly Capacity Payments;
                           [redacted]

         12.4     Mitigation.  Following the occurrence of a Force Majeure
 Event, the affected Party shall:
                  ----------

                  12.4.1 give the other Party notice thereof, followed by
written notice if the first notice is not written, as promptly as practicable
after such Party becomes aware of such Force Majeure Event, describing the
particulars of such Force Majeure Event;

                  12.4.2 use its reasonable best efforts consistent with Prudent
Utility Practices to remedy its inability to perform as soon as practicable;
provided, however, that this Section 12.4.2 shall not require the settlement of
any strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms which in the sole
judgment of the party involved in the dispute, are contrary to its interest;
provided further, that the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other labor
disputes shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the
difficulty; and

                  12.4.3 when it is able to resume performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, give the other Party written notice to that
effect.

         12.5 Suspension of Performance. The suspension of performance due to a
Force Majeure Event shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than
is required by such Force Majeure Event. No Force Majeure Event shall extend
this Agreement beyond its stated Term.

Party being the Non-Defaulting Party), Defaulting Party in the case of Dynegy
including Dynegy Inc.

                  14.1.1 The Defaulting Party fails to make any payment which it
is obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement and such failure to make payment
continues for a period of [redacted] after the date on which written notice
thereof shall have been given to the Defaulting Party.

                  14.1.2 Any representation or warranty of the Defaulting Party
pursuant to this Agreement or the Guaranty shall prove to have been false or
misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made; unless (i) the
fact, circumstance or condition that is the subject of such representation or
warranty is made true within [redacted] after notice thereof has been given to
the Defaulting Party and (ii) such cure removes any adverse effect on the
Non-Defaulting Party of such fact, circumstance or condition being otherwise
than as first represented, or unless such fact, circumstance or condition being
otherwise than as first represented does not materially adversely affect
Non-Defaulting Party.

                  14.1.3 A court having jurisdiction shall enter (i) a decree or
order for relief in respect of Defaulting Party in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,

forth in the Guaranty, or the Guaranty shall expire and shall not be replaced
with comparable assurance to Georgia Power, with Georgia Power's consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Guaranty shall expire or if Dynegy
Inc. shall fail to perform any of its obligations under the Guaranty, Dynegy
shall have the right to replace the Guaranty with a replacement guaranty
agreement issued by Dynegy Holdings Inc., which replacement guaranty shall be in
form and substance similar to the Guaranty. In such event, and provided that at
the time of replacement, Dynegy Holdings Inc. is not experiencing a Material
Adverse Change of the type described in Section 14.1.7.1, Georgia Power shall be
deemed to have consented to the delivery of the replacement guaranty.

                  14.1.7 Dynegy Inc. shall experience a Material Adverse Change;
provided, however, such Material Adverse Change shall not be considered an Event
of Default if Dynegy Inc., or Dynegy delivers or causes to be delivered to
Georgia Power: (a) a guaranty agreement issued by Dynegy Holdings Inc. (or any
other third party guarantor) in form and substance comparable to the Guaranty,
and guaranteeing the obligations of Dynegy for the remainder of the Term,
provided that for such replacement guaranty to be sufficient to remove an Event
of Default arising under this Section 14.1.7, Dynegy Holdings Inc. (or such
third party guarantor) must not, at the time of replacement, be experiencing a
Material Adverse Change of the type described in Section 14.1.7.1; or (b)
Eligible Collateral in an amount equal to the next [redacted]. Eligible
Collateral will be adjusted on the last day of each Month during the Material
Adverse Change Event as dictated by changes in [redacted].

     14.1.7.1 As used in this Section  14.1.7,  a Material Adverse Change shall
occur when Dynegy Inc.'s senior  securities are rated below  [redacted]. In the
event one of the ratings of Dynegy Inc.  falls below either [redacted],  Dynegy
will propose a substitute  guarantor from an entity with ratings greater than or
equal to [redacted],  which substitute guarantor is acceptable to Georgia Power.
A  Material  Adverse  Change  shall  occur if no such  substitute  guarantor  is
available.  If long-term  ratings are not available from [redacted] will be used
instead of the [redacted] to determine a Material Adverse Change. In the case of
[redacted] are not available,  [redacted] will be used instead of the [redacted]
to determine a Material Adverse Change.  If Dynegy Inc. ceases to have a long-or
short-term rating from either  [redacted],  then a Material Adverse Change shall
have occurred.

     14.1.7.2 As used in this Section 14.1.7,  Eligible Collateral shall consist
of an irrevocable Letter of Credit or surety bond from [redacted] (and in a form
reasonably acceptable to Georgia Power), or cash.

                  14.1.8 The Defaulting Party materially breaches any obligation
under this Agreement (other than the obligation to pay money when due which
shall be governed exclusively by Section 14.1.1) or the Guaranty, and such
breach shall continue for a period of [redacted] after the date on which written
notice thereof shall have been given to the Defaulting Party; except that if it
shall be impracticable or impossible to remedy any such breach within such
[redacted] period, such period shall be extended as reasonably necessary to
remedy such breach.

     14.2 Rights Under  Agreement.  Except as otherwise  provided  herein, each
Party reserves to itself all rights, counterclaims,  and other defenses which it
is or may be entitled to arising from or out of this Agreement.

         14.3     Remedies.
                  --------
                  14.3.1 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to
this Article 14, the Non-Defaulting Party may at its discretion, take either or
both of the following actions: (i) proceed by appropriate proceedings, judicial,
administrative, in equity or otherwise at law, to protect and enforce its
rights, to recover any damages to which it may be entitled, and to enforce
performance by the Defaulting Party, including specific performance of
Defaulting Party's obligations hereunder; and (ii) terminate this Agreement by
giving written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party.

                  14.3.2 In addition to the remedies provided in Section 14.3.1,
the Non-Defaulting Party may, for so long as the Event of Default is continuing,
by written notice to the Defaulting Party, establish a date on which this
Agreement shall be terminated, which date shall be at least [redacted] and no
more than [redacted] after the date of such written notice. [redacted].

                  14.3.3 In the case in which an Event of Default in which
Dynegy is the Defaulting Party has occurred and is continuing, Georgia Power
shall have the right to sell all Contract Capacity and energy under this
Agreement to any party. Georgia Power shall use its reasonable best efforts to
sell such Contract Capacity and energy at prices equal to or greater than those
Dynegy would have paid under this Agreement; provided, that if such prices are
less than those Dynegy would have paid under this Agreement, Dynegy shall be
liable to pay Georgia Power the difference. By way of clarification of the
foregoing only, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred unless
and until all applicable grace and/or cure periods have expired.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                   INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

         15.1 Indemnity. Subject to Section 15.3 below, each Party expressly
agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other Party against all
claims, liability, costs or expense for loss, damage or injury to persons or
property in any manner directly or indirectly connected with or growing out of,
the generation, transmission or distribution of Delivered Energy on its own side
of the Delivery Point, unless such loss, damage or injury is the result of gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Party seeking indemnification.

     15.2 No Liability  to Third  Party.  Nothing  herein  shall  create,  or be
interpreted as creating,  any standard of care with reference to, or any duty or
liability to any person not a Party hereto.

         15.3 No Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
neither Party shall be liable to the other for punitive, indirect, exemplary,
consequential, or incidental damages including, without limitation, claims of
customers of the indemnified Party arising in connection with this Agreement.

to the extent specifically set forth in the text hereof. The Parties hereby
specifically disclaim and exclude all implied warranties, including the implied
warranties of merchant ability and of fitness for a particular purpose.

                                   ASSIGNMENT

         16.1 Assignment and Assumption of Obligations. Neither Party shall
assign this Agreement or any portion thereof without the prior written consent
of the other Party which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, (i) any assignee shall expressly assume assignor's
obligations hereunder and (ii) unless expressly approved by the other Party to
this Agreement, no assignment, whether or not consented to, shall relieve the
assignor, and any guarantor, of their obligations hereunder in the event its
assignee fails to perform and (iii) either Party may assign this Agreement to an
Affiliate without consent, and, upon approval of the creditworthiness of such
assignee by the non-assigning Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld), the assignor (but not any guarantor) shall be released from its
obligations under this Agreement. The transfer of any interest in the ultimate
parent of a Party to this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment under
this Section requiring the consent of the other Party.

         16.2     Assignment to Lenders.

                  16.2.1 Notwithstanding Section 16.1, Georgia Power may,
without the consent of Dynegy, assign this Agreement to a lender for collateral
security purposes in connection with the financing or refinancing of the Units.
Upon any such assignment however, Georgia Power shall provide notice to Dynegy
of the lender assignee, together with appropriate contact information with
respect to a business representative of such assignee.

                  16.2.2 Georgia Power has represented to Dynegy that Georgia
Power may procure permanent and/or construction financing for the purchase and
installation of the Units. In order to facilitate the obtaining of financing of
the Units, Dynegy shall execute such consents, agreements or similar documents
with respect to a collateral assignment of this Agreement to a lender as lender
may reasonably request in connection with the documentation of the financing or
refinancing for the Units, provided, that any such consents, agreements or
similar documents will be on terms and conditions acceptable to Dynegy. Under no
circumstances in connection with the foregoing, shall Dynegy be required to
deliver consents, agreements or similar documents that would have the effect of
enhancing the overall liability or obligations of Dynegy under this Agreement or
that would in any way dilute the benefits accruing to Dynegy under this
Agreement if such consents, agreements or similar documents had not been
required.

instrument duly executed by each of Georgia Power and Dynegy, which has received
all approval of Governmental Authorities of competent jurisdiction necessary for

     17.2 Binding  Effect.  This Agreement and any extension  shall inure to the
benefit of and shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective  permitted
successors and assigns.

each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

confirmation, as provided in clause (i) above, within one (1) Business Day after

         17.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding between the Parties and supersedes any previous agreements between
the Parties. The Parties have entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the
representations and mutual undertakings contained herein and not in reliance
upon any oral or written representations or information provided by one Party to
the other Party not contained or incorporated herein.

     17.6 Governing  Law. This  Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

         17.7 Waiver. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of
the provisions of this Agreement, or to require at any time performance by the
other Party of any of the provisions hereof, shall in no way be construed to be
a waiver of such provisions, nor in any way to affect the validity of this
Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of such Party hereafter to enforce
every such provision. No modification or waiver of all or any part of this
Agreement shall be valid unless it is reduced to a writing, which expressly
states that the Parties hereby agree to a waiver or modification as applicable,
and is signed by both Parties.

         17.8 No Dedication of System. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
require Georgia Power to construct any particular facilities. Any undertaking by
Georgia Power under any provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to
constitute the dedication of Georgia Power's system, or the system of any
Affiliate of Georgia Power, or any portion thereof, to the public or to Dynegy;
provided, however, the Parties acknowledge that Georgia Power may construct the
Units with respect to service provided under this Agreement. Georgia Power's
provision of Contract Capacity and Delivered Energy under this Agreement does
not constitute a sale, lease, rental, transfer or conveyance of any ownership
interest or entitlement in or to any facilities of any kind. All obligations of
the Parties shall cease upon termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, and Dynegy shall not attempt to Schedule any energy
under this Agreement after its termination.

         17.9 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are used solely
for convenience and do not constitute a part of the Agreement between the
Parties hereto, nor should they be used to aid in any manner in the construction
of this Agreement.

         17.10 Third Parties. This Agreement is intended solely for the benefit
of the Parties hereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed to create any duty to, or standard of care
with reference to, or any liability to, any person not a Party to this
Agreement.

         17.11 Agency. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to
create an association, joint venture, or partnership between the Parties to
impose any partnership obligation or liability upon either Party. Neither Party
shall have any right, power or authority to enter into any agreement or
undertaking for, or act on behalf of, or to act as or be an agent or
representative of, or to otherwise bind, the other Party.

         17.12 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance shall to any extent
be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application
of such term or provisions to person, entities or circumstances other than those
as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and
each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

         17.13    Confidentiality.
                  ---------------

                  17.13.1 The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement contains
Proprietary Information and each Party agrees that for a period of five (5)
years from the date of termination of the Agreement it will not, without the
written consent of the other or as otherwise provided herein, disclose to any
third party (other than to Affiliates of the disclosing party or consultants and
advisors to such Affiliates and the disclosing Party who need to know such
information in connection with the performance of their duties or services for
such Affiliates or the disclosing Party or Lenders to such Affiliates of the
disclosing party), the Proprietary Information except to the extent that
disclosure is required by law, or by a Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over the party from which disclosure is sought.

                  17.13.2 The Parties agree to seek confidential treatment of
the Proprietary Information in this Agreement from FERC but acknowledge that
certain Proprietary Information may need to be disclosed in Georgia Power's
filings with FERC which may be publicly available.

         17.14 Replacement Index. Whenever any published index or tariff is
referenced herein, the Parties intend to track those costs as faithfully as
commercially practical. Should any such index or tariff be discontinued or no
longer published, the Parties will cooperate in establishing substitute
benchmarks through reference to equivalent indices or tariffs.

         17.15 Public Announcement. The Parties agree that no public or other
announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made
except after mutual consultation and consent, provided, however, that consent
will not be required if either Party determines that disclosure to the public or
to governmental agencies are reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws
or Legal Requirements.

         17.16 Liquidated Damages. To the extent that any damages required to be
paid under this Agreement are liquidated, the Parties acknowledge that the
damages are difficult or impossible to determine, otherwise obtaining an
adequate remedy is inconvenient, and the liquidated damages constitute
approximation of the expected actual harm or loss.
