ARTICLE 4.

DIRECT
CONTRACTS

 

4.1                                 Direct
Contracts.

 

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

 

(b)                                 Existing
Direct Contracts.  As of the
Agreement Date, Direct Contracts include the RMR Agreements and the Wrap
Agreement.  Project Company shall have
the right to designate whether the Generating Station shall be run under “Condition
1” or “Condition 2” in the RMR Agreements.

 

(c)                                  Costs
and Revenues.  The calculation of Net
Market Revenues shall exclude any costs or revenues associated with a Direct
Contract.  All such costs and revenues
shall be paid and received by Project Company. 
If a third party customer or other entity pays MAEM any amounts due
Project Company under a Direct Contract, MAEM shall hold such amounts in trust
for the applicable Project Company and remit such funds to Project Company on
or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month, or if such day is
not a business day, the immediately following business day.

 

4.2                                 Cooperation.
The Parties shall cooperate to fulfill the obligations of Project Company
and/or MAEM as set forth in the Direct Contract and/or Third Party Contract, as
applicable.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all payment obligations under any Direct Contract shall be the sole
responsibility of Project Company. In an effort to maximize Net Market
Revenues, Project Company agrees that MAEM shall have the right to purchase
Products from third parties or the market, in lieu of the Generating Station
producing such Products, for the purpose of meeting the supply obligations of
Project Company or MAEM under any Direct Contract or Third Party Contract (“Purchased
Power”); provided, however, any such purchase should only occur when the

 

8

 

Project Company’s cost to
generate the Products exceeds the prevailing market price for such
Products.  Project Company and MAEM shall
notify the others promptly if it becomes aware of any dispute under, or any
proposed amendment to, a Direct Contract or Third Party Contract.  Project Company and MAEM acknowledge and
agree that certain provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation,
MAEM’s scheduling and fuel supply obligations, may not be consistent with the
provisions of a Direct Contract or a Third Party Contract (such as a tolling
agreement for example).  In the event of
such inconsistency, the provisions of the Direct Contract or Third Party
Contract shall control.

Generating Stations pursuant to any Offers, Third Party Contracts and/or Direct
Contracts, (ii) Purchased Power, (iii) the purchase of Fuel and any
related Fuel hedges and trading activities, (iv) the purchase of Emissions
Allowances and any related emissions hedges and trading activities and (v) the

Companies.  Transactions in the Asset
Book shall be allocated to individual books that are established for each
Project Company.  Unless otherwise
designated in writing by Project Companies, transactions in the Asset Book will
be allocated proportionately to each Project Company based on the actual
dispatch of the Generating Stations, as provided by Project Companies to MAEM
(with the exception of sales of capacity, which shall be allocated
proportionately based on the actual capacity of the generating units).

 

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

ARTICLE 8.

BILLING AND PAYMENT

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Gross
Revenues” means all revenues attributed to the Asset Book for a certain
month including, without limitation, the actual revenues received by MAEM from (a) sales
of all Products generated by, or available from, the Generating Station, (b) sales
of Purchased Power, (c) excess Fuel sales, (d) sales or trades of
excess Emissions Allowances from the Generating Station and (e) gains
associated with physical and/or financial products (including, but not limited
to, swaps, contracts for differences and options) purchased for the Asset Book
related to hedges and trading activities.

 

13

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

ARTICLE 9.

DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES

 

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

 

(a)                                  default
shall occur if the payment of any amounts due from such Party hereunder shall
continue unpaid for more than ten (10) days after written notice from the
other Party;

 

(b)                                 other
than as provided in Section 9.1(a) above, default shall occur in the
performance of any covenant or condition to be performed by such Party under
this Agreement

 

14

 

and such default shall
continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from
the other Party specifying the nature of such default; or

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

ARTICLE 10.

FORCE
MAJEURE

 

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

With Laws.  At all times during the
term of this Agreement, the Parties shall comply with all laws, rules,

ARTICLE 4.

DIRECT CONTRACTS

 

4.1           Direct
Contracts.

 

(a)           Agency
Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.1 or 3.1
of this Agreement, Project Company may enter into contracts to (i) sell the
Products available from the Generating Station directly to a third party rather
than selling such Products to MAEM and/or (ii) purchase Fuel required by the

billing, settlements with the ISO (if applicable) and other services required
by Project Company pursuant to the terms of such Direct Contract. Project
Company shall continue to pay MAEM the Service Fee for the agency services provided
by MAEM during the term of a Direct Contract. As agent, MAEM shall neither
directly purchase or sell, or contract for the purchase or sale, nor take title
to or possession and control of any Products or Fuel. Rather, as between MAEM
and Project Company, when MAEM is acting as agent under any Direct Contract,
Project Company shall be deemed to have title and exclusive possession and
control of all Products sold to, and all Fuel purchased from, third parties,
and Project Company shall bear the risk of loss associated with such Products
and Fuel.

 

(b)           Costs
and Revenues. The calculation of Net Market Revenues shall exclude any
costs or revenues associated with a Direct Contract. All such costs and
revenues shall be paid and received by Project Company. If a third party
customer or other entity pays MAEM any amounts due Project Company under a
Direct Contract, MAEM shall hold such amounts in trust for the applicable
Project Company and remit such funds to Project Company on or before the
twentieth (20th) day of each month, or if such day is not a business
day, the immediately following business day.

 

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

 

ARTICLE 5.

ASSET BOOK; ADDITIONAL SERVICES

 

5.1           Asset
Book. MAEM will maintain an asset management book (the “Asset Book”) to
track and measure the financial performance of all transactions with respect to
the Generating Station including, but not limited to, (i) the sale of Products
generated by, or available from, the Generating Station pursuant to any Offers,
Third Party Contracts and/or Direct Contracts, (ii) Purchased Power, (iii) the
purchase of Fuel and any related Fuel hedges and trading activities, (iv) the
purchase of Emissions Allowances and any related emissions hedges and trading 

 

8

 

activities and (v) the
purchase of transmission and/or transportation capacity. The Asset Book shall
be separate from any MAEM trading book or any other asset book maintained by
MAEM for other Asset Companies.

 

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

 

5.3           Regulatory
Reports. MAEM will make all quarterly filings to the FERC required for
Products produced by the Generating Stations.

 

ARTICLE 6.

fulfill its obligations under any existing transactions. Any such terminations
and/or assignments shall be consummated in such a manner as to fully release
MAEM and Project Company from any liability or obligation thereunder as of the
termination date and/or the assignment effective date of the applicable
transactions. Any costs or revenues associated with termination payments or
settlement amounts as a result of liquidating and terminating any transactions
shall be charged to or paid to Project Company as described under

 

9

 

Section 2.2(c).

 

(b)           Upon
any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a) hereof, the
Parties shall transfer or settle any outstanding transactions entered into by
MAEM in connection with this Agreement which extend beyond such termination
including, but not limited to, Third Party Contracts entered into pursuant to
Section 2.2(b). Any such transfer or settlement shall be consummated in such a
manner as to assign or convey to Project Company the full benefits and
obligations of such transactions, and to fully release MAEM from any liability
or obligation thereunder. To the extent that MAEM’s rights or obligations under
any such transaction may not be assigned without the consent of a third party,
and such consent has not or cannot be obtained with the commercially reasonable
efforts of the Parties, this provision shall not constitute an agreement to
assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or
be unlawful, and the Parties, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the
applicable transaction, shall enter into such commercially reasonable
arrangements as are necessary to fulfill the intent of this Section 6.3(b). The
Parties further agree to take such actions, and execute and deliver such
agreements, documents, instruments and certificates, as are necessary to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.3(b).

ARTICLE 8.

BILLING
AND PAYMENT

 

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

 

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

 

12

 

received by MAEM from
such third party. In other words, MAEM shall not be responsible for non-payment
by a third party customer, and any Gross Revenues shall not be adjusted upward
to account for any such non-payment.

 

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

 

“Gross Revenues” means all
revenues attributed to the Asset Book for a certain month including, without
limitation, the actual revenues received by MAEM from (a) sales of all Products
generated by, or available from, the Generating Station, (b) sales of Purchased
Power, (c) excess Fuel sales, (d) sales or trades of excess Emissions Allowances
from the Generating Station and (e) gains associated with physical and/or
financial products (including, but not limited to, swaps, contracts for
differences and options) purchased for the Asset Book related to hedges and
trading activities.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

13

 

including, without
limitation, the negligence of MAEM. Any such payment to FERC or a third party
shall be made within the time period ordered by FERC.

 

ARTICLE 9.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

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

 

(a)           default
shall occur in the payment of any amounts due from such Party hereunder which
shall continue for more than ten (10) days after written notice from the other
Party;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

ARTICLE 10.

FORCE MAJEURE

 

10.1         Force Majeure. If
either Party is rendered wholly or partly unable to perform its obligations
under this Agreement because of a Force Majeure event, that Party will be
excused from whatever performance is affected by the Force Majeure event to the
extent so affected, provided that (a) the non-performing Party, as soon as
practical after knowing of the occurrence of the Force Majeure event, gives the
other Party written notice describing the particulars of the 

 

14

 

occurrence; (b) the suspension of performance is of no
greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the
Force Majeure event; (c) the non-performing Party uses commercially reasonable
efforts to overcome or mitigate the effects of such occurrence, provided,
however, that this provision shall not require Project Company to deliver, or
MAEM to receive, any Products at points other than the Delivery Point; and (d)
when the non-performing Party is able to resume performance of its obligations
hereunder, that Party shall give the other Party written notice to that effect
and shall promptly resume such performance.

and Assigns.
