contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable including the preparation and filing of
all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed by such party in order to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the taking of all appropriate action necessary, proper
or advisable to satisfy each of the conditions to Closing that are to be satisfied by that party or
any of its Affiliates and the taking of such actions as are necessary to obtain any approvals,
consents, orders, exemptions or waivers of

37

 

Governmental Authorities required to be obtained by such
party in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall
promptly consult with the other with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to,
and provide copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority or any other
information supplied by such party to a Governmental Authority in connection with, this Agreement
and the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

               (b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.3, each of
Seller and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action
and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under the Competition Laws to consummate and
make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements,
including furnishing all information required by applicable law in connection with approvals of or
filings with any Governmental Authority, including filing, or causing to be filed, as promptly as
practicable, any required notification and report forms under other applicable Competition Laws
with the applicable non-U.S. Governmental Antitrust Authority. The parties shall consult with each
other as to the appropriate time of filing such notifications and shall agree upon the timing of
such filings. All filing fees under any applicable Competition Law shall be borne by the party
responsible for making such filing, and each party will bear its own costs for the preparation of
any such filing. Each party shall (i) respond promptly to any request for additional information
made by the antitrust agency; (ii) promptly notify the other party of, and if in writing, furnish
the other party with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise the other
party orally of) any communications from or with the antitrust agency in connection with any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) not participate in any meeting with the
antitrust agency unless it consults with the other party in advance and to the extent permitted by
the agency gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat; (iv) furnish
the other party with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda
setting forth the substance thereof) between it and the antitrust agency with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) furnish the other party with such necessary
information and reasonable assistance as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the
preparation of necessary filings or submission of information to the antitrust agency and
consistent with appropriate confidentiality safeguards. The Parties shall use their reasonable
best efforts to cause the waiting periods under the applicable Competitions Laws to terminate or
expire at the earliest possible date after the date of filing.

               (c) If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the Related Agreements, the CGIC Loan Agreement or the Consent and Support Agreement
under any Competition Law or if any suit or proceeding is instituted or threatened by any
Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the CGIC Loan Agreement or the Consent and Support
Agreement as violative of any Competition Law, each of Seller and Buyer shall use its best efforts
to promptly resolve such objections; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, none of Seller or Buyer or any of their respective

38

 

Affiliates shall
have any obligation to hold separate or divest any property or assets of Seller or Buyer, or any of
their respective Affiliates, or to defend against any lawsuit, action or proceeding, judicial or
administrative, challenging this Agreement, any Related Agreement, the CGIC Loan Agreement or the
Consent and Support Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

          Section 5.4 Certain Subsidiary Level Debt.

               (a) Prior to Closing, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the prepayment in
full by CMS Generation Investment Company IV of the debt set forth in Section 5.4(a) of the Seller
Disclosure Letter (the “Schedule 5.4(a) Debt”) (including through entry into and draw down
under the CGIC Loan Agreement). Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate and
assist Buyer in obtaining the approvals and consents necessary for the prepayment of the Schedule
5.4(a) Debt and Seller and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate and enter
into any documentation necessary in connection with the CGIC Loan Agreement.

               (b) Prior to Closing (beginning immediately following the execution of this Agreement), Seller
and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts in obtaining from the lenders of Jorf, relevant
Governmental Authorities and other third parties the approvals and consents listed in Section
6.3(d) of the Seller Disclosure Letter under the headings “Governmental consents” and “Jorf
consents” and all other required approvals and consents of any Governmental Authority or other
third party in relation to the debt set forth in Section 5.4(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter
(the “Schedule 5.4(b) Debt”) (without prejudice to the continuing obligations of Seller and
Buyer under Section 5.4(c)).

               (c) Prior to Closing (beginning immediately following the execution of this Agreement), Seller
and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation and obtain all
consents necessary to effect the refinancing contemplated by the term sheet attached hereto as
Exhibit G (the “JLEC Refinancing”) (without prejudice to the continuing obligations of
Seller and Buyer under Section 5.4(b)). If the consents and approvals required pursuant to Section
5.4(b) have not been obtained prior to March 10, 2007, Seller and Buyer (including in its capacity
as an indirect equity holder in Jorf and Neyveli) shall use their reasonable best efforts to effect
the JLEC Refinancing on May 15, 2007 (or, if such day is not a Business Day as defined in the Jorf
Common Agreement, on the next or preceding Business Day in accordance with the Jorf Common
Agreement), in accordance with the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit G, including, without
limitation, entering into any necessary documentation related thereto and using reasonable best
efforts to take all actions reflected in such term sheet by the dates specified therein (without
prejudice to the continuing obligations of Seller and Buyer under Section 5.4(b)); provided,
however, that Buyer will not be required to effect the JLEC Refinancing if the consents and
approvals required pursuant to Section 5.4(b) are obtained prior to 11:59 p.m. (New York City time)
on April 12, 2007 (or, if such day is not a Business Day as defined in the Jorf Common Agreement,
on the next or preceding Business Day in accordance with the Jorf Common Agreement) (the
“Prepayment Notice Date”). Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate

39

 

and
assist Buyer in obtaining the approvals and consents necessary for the prepayment of the Schedule
5.4(b) Debt.

          Section 5.5 Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and use their respective
reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all appropriate actions and do, or cause to be
done, all things necessary or appropriate to consummate and make effective the transactions
contemplated hereby as soon as reasonably possible following the date hereof, including the
execution of any additional documents or instruments of any kind, the obtaining of consents which
may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out any of the provisions hereof and the taking
of all such other actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take by the other party
hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Related Agreements,
to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

          Section 5.6 Employee Matters.

               (a) Not less than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may offer
employment, commencing as of the Closing Date, to such individuals identified on Section 5.6(a) of
the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Schedule 5.6(a) Employees”) as it may determine in its
discretion. Buyer shall take all steps necessary to ensure that its hiring decisions and practices
in this regard are in accordance with Applicable Law. Not fewer than twenty (20) Business Days
prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller of the Schedule 5.6(a) Employees who have
accepted Buyer’s offer of employment. After the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, Seller
shall provide Buyer with access, during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable notice, to
the Schedule 5.6(a) Employees, and Buyer agrees that it shall use its best efforts to conduct its
hiring process, during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable notice, in a manner that
causes minimum disruption to the operations of Seller. Each of the Schedule 5.6(a) Employees who
commences employment with Buyer effective as of (or who is on approved leave of absence on) the
Closing Date, together with the continuing employees of the Material Subsidiaries, shall be
referred to herein as “Transferred Employees,” and each Schedule 5.6(a) Employee who is not
a Transferred Employee shall be referred to herein as a “Non-Hired Employee.”

               (b) Following the Closing for a period of one (1) year, none of Buyer, Generation or their
Affiliates shall hire in any capacity (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor
or otherwise) any Non-Hired Employee who has been terminated by, and received severance
compensation from, Seller unless and until Buyer reimburses Seller for a reasonable portion of such
severance compensation.

               (c) Following the Closing for a period of one (1) year, none of Buyer, Generation or their
Affiliates shall directly or indirectly solicit the employment or services of, or hire in any
capacity (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise) any employee (i)
of Seller or its Affiliates who is not a Schedule 5.6(a) Employee or (ii) of Energy or its
Affiliates without the prior written consent of Seller, which may not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed absent

40

 

significant business rationale for Seller to retain such employee for
a reasonable time and purpose.

               (d) Buyer, Generation and the Subsidiaries of Generation shall be responsible for all
Liabilities and obligations under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar
foreign, state and local rules, statutes and ordinances resulting from the actions of Buyer,
Generation and the Subsidiaries of Generation after the Closing Date. Buyer agrees to indemnify
Seller and to defend and hold Seller harmless for any breach of such responsibility and Buyer’s
indemnification of Seller in this regard specifically includes any Claim by any of the Transferred
Employees for back pay, front pay, benefits or compensatory or punitive damages, any Claim by any
Governmental Authority for penalties regarding any issue of prior notification (or lack thereof) of
any plant closing or mass layoff occurring after the Closing Date and Seller’s costs, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, in defending any such Claims.

               (e) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate as reasonably necessary to implement the provisions of
this Section 5.6 and agree to provide each other with such records and information as may be
necessary and appropriate to carry out their respective obligations under this Section 5.6.

          Section 5.7 Tax Covenants.

               (a) Section 338(g) Elections. Buyer shall not make any election under Section 338(g)
of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local, or foreign income tax law) with respect to
the deemed purchase of the equity interests of any Generation Non-U.S. Subsidiary.

               (b) Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

               (i) Seller and Buyer shall jointly make elections under Section 338(h)(10) of
the Code (and any comparable provision of applicable state or local income tax
law) with respect to the deemed purchase of the equity interests of each
Generation U.S. Subsidiary that constitutes a corporation (within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) as shown in Section 5.15 of the Seller Disclosure
Letter, pursuant to this Agreement and shall cooperate with each other to take all
reasonable actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such additional
forms, returns, elections schedules and other documents as may be required) to
effect and preserve such timely elections, in accordance with the provisions of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state
or local tax law) (the “Elections”).

               (ii) In connection with the Elections, Buyer and Seller shall mutually
prepare a Form 8023 (or successor form) with any attachments with respect to each
such Generation U.S. Subsidiary. Seller shall prepare a draft Form 8883 (or
successor form) with respect to each such Generation U.S. Subsidiary and provide
such draft Forms 8883 to

41

 

Buyer no later than ninety (90) days prior to the due
date of such Forms 8883. If, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of any draft
Form 8883, Buyer notifies Seller that it disagrees with any draft Form 8883, then
Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve their disagreement within the twenty
(20) days following Buyer’s notification of Seller of such disagreement;
otherwise, the draft Forms 8883 shall become “Final Forms 8883.” If
Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve their disagreement, the dispute shall be
submitted to a mutually agreed upon nationally recognized independent accounting
firm, whose expense shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer, for resolution
within twenty (20) days of such submission. Any Form 8883 delivered by such
accounting firm shall be a Final Form 8883. The Final Forms 8883 shall be binding
on Buyer, Seller, and their respective Affiliates. Except as otherwise required
by a final determination, Buyer and Seller shall take no position, and cause their
respective Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Final Forms 8883.

               (iii) Buyer and Seller shall mutually prepare, in a manner similar to the
above procedure, any forms or schedules similar to Forms 8023 or 8883 that are
required by provisions of Applicable Law that are comparable to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1. In the event that any Forms 8023 or Final Form
8883 (or similar forms or schedules required for provisions of Applicable Law) is
disputed by any Taxing authority, the party receiving written notice of the
dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto concerning such dispute.

               (c) Tax Return Filings, Refunds, and Credits.

               (i) Seller shall timely prepare and file (or cause such preparation and
filing) with the appropriate Tax authorities all Tax Returns (including any
Consolidated Income Tax Returns) with respect to Generation and the Material
Subsidiaries for Tax periods that end on or before the Closing Date (the
“Seller Returns”), and will pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes due with
respect to the Seller Returns.

               (ii) Buyer shall timely prepare and file (or cause such preparation and
filing) with the appropriate Tax authorities all Tax Returns (the “Straddle
Period Returns”) with respect to Generation and the Material Subsidiaries for
all Tax periods ending after the Closing Date that include the Closing Date (the
“Straddle Period”). All Straddle Period Returns shall be prepared in
accordance with past practice; provided that there is substantial authority (or
analogous authority for purpose of the particular Tax) for such past practice.
Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of any Straddle Period Returns at least
forty-five (45) days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any
extensions thereto), accompanied by a statement (the “Straddle Statement”)
setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Pre-Closing Taxes of
Generation and each Material

42

 

Subsidiary. If Seller agrees with the Straddle
Period Return and Straddle Statement, Seller shall pay to Buyer (or Buyer shall
pay to Seller, if appropriate) an amount equal to the Ownership Percentage of the
Pre-Closing Taxes of Generation and each Material Subsidiary as shown on the
Straddle Statement not later than two (2) Business Days before the due date
(including any extensions thereof) for payment of Taxes with respect to such
Straddle Period Return. If, within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the
Straddle Period Return and Straddle Statement, Seller notifies Buyer that it
disputes the manner of preparation of the Straddle Period Return or the amount
calculated in the Straddle Statement, then Buyer and Seller shall attempt to
resolve their disagreement within the five (5) days following Seller’s
notification of Buyer of such disagreement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to
resolve their disagreement, the dispute shall be submitted to a mutually agreed
upon nationally recognized independent accounting firm, whose expense shall be
borne equally by Buyer and Seller, for resolution, if possible, within twenty (20)
days of such submission. If the parties have not agreed on an independent
accounting firm within fifteen (15) days following Seller’s notification of Buyer
of such disagreement, on the request of any party such independent accounting firm
shall be appointed by the International Court of Arbitration of the International
Chamber of Commerce (the “ICAICC”). Any independent accounting firm
appointed by the ICAICC shall be an impartial and disinterested senior partner in
an internationally recognized accounting firm. The decision of such accounting
firm with respect to such dispute shall be binding upon Buyer and Seller, and
Seller shall pay to Buyer (or Buyer shall pay to Seller, if appropriate) an amount
equal to the Ownership Percentage of the Pre-Closing Taxes of Generation and each
Material Subsidiary as decided by such accounting firm not later than two (2)
Business Days before the due date (including any extensions thereof) for payment
of Taxes with respect to such Straddle Period Return.

               (iii) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates (including
Generation and, to the extent within the power of Buyer using its reasonable best
efforts, the Material Subsidiaries) will not file any amended Tax Return,
carryback claim, or other adjustment request with respect to Generation and any
Material Subsidiary for any Tax period that includes or ends on or before the
Closing Date unless Seller consents in writing or otherwise required by Applicable
Law or as a result of a tax proceeding; provided, however, that
(i) with respect to any Straddle Period Return, such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and (ii) to the extent that under
Applicable Law, Buyer is not able to waive or forgo any carryback, (A) Buyer shall
notify Seller of the amount and character of such item, (B) Seller shall
reasonably cooperate with Buyer in obtaining any Tax refund or credit with respect
to such item and (C) upon receipt of any such Tax refund or credit, Seller shall
promptly pay over the amount of the Tax refund or credit to Buyer in immediately
available funds.

43

 

               (iv) For purposes of this Agreement, any Taxes of Generation and any Material
Subsidiary that are attributable to Tax periods ending on or before the Closing
Date or, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such period ending on
and including the Closing Date, shall constitute “Pre-Closing Taxes” to
the extent of the excess of (A) the amount of such Taxes over (B) any payment or
advances of Taxes or any payments of estimated Taxes with respect to such period
made on or before the Closing Date. For purposes of clause (A) of the preceding
sentence, such Taxes shall be computed on the basis of an interim closing of the
books as of the end of the Closing Date, except that any exemption, deduction,
credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to
the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis
determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle
Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the
portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of
which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. Pre-Closing
Taxes include any Taxes attributable to any Material Subsidiary that is treated as
a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if the Material Subsidiary
allocated Tax items to its partners in a manner consistent with this Section
5.7(b)(iv). The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat as a short taxable period the
portion of any Straddle Period ending as of the close of business on the Closing
Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Post-Closing Taxes” shall include
any Taxes of Generation and any Material Subsidiary that are payable with respect
to Tax periods beginning after the Closing Date or a Straddle Period, except for
the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Closing Taxes.

               (v) Except as provided in Section 5.7(c)(iii) with respect to carrybacks, if
a Tax Indemnified Party actually receives a refund or credit or other
reimbursement with respect to Taxes for which it would be indemnified under this
Agreement, the Tax Indemnified Party shall pay over such refund or credit or other
reimbursement to the Tax Indemnifying Party.

               (vi) Buyer shall not, and shall cause Generation and, to the extent within
the power of Buyer using reasonable best efforts, any Material Subsidiary to not,
make, amend or revoke any Tax election if such action would reasonably be expected
to adversely affect any of Seller or its Affiliates with respect to any Tax period
ending on or before the Closing Date or for the pre-Closing portion of any
Straddle Period or any Tax refund or credit with respect thereto. Seller shall
not, and shall cause Generation and any Material Subsidiary to not, make, amend
or revoke any Tax election if such action would reasonably be expected to
adversely affect any of Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to any Tax period

44

 

beginning after the Closing Date or for the post-Closing portion of any Straddle
Period or any Tax refund or credit with respect thereto.

               (vii) For purposes of this Agreement a “Consolidated Income Tax
Return” is any income Tax Return filed with respect to any consolidated,
combined, affiliated or unified group provided for under Section 1501 of the Code
and the Treasury regulations under Section 1502 of the Code, or any comparable
provisions of Applicable Law, other than any income Tax Return that includes only
Generation or any Material Subsidiary.

               (d) Indemnity for Taxes.

               (i) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates against and
hold them harmless from the Ownership Percentage of any liability for (A)
Pre-Closing Taxes of Generation and any Material Subsidiary, and (B) all Taxes
that are attributable to Seller or any member (other than Generation and any
Material Subsidiary) of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary Tax group
of which at least one of Generation or any Material Subsidiary was a member prior
to the Closing Date that is imposed under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or
any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) by reason of Generation
or any Material Subsidiary being included in any such Tax group.

               (ii) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates against and
hold them harmless from the Ownership Percentage of any liability for Post-Closing
Taxes of Generation or any Material Subsidiary.

               (iii) The obligation of Seller to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, on the
one hand, and the obligations of Buyer to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, on
the other hand, pursuant to this Section 5.7, shall terminate thirty (30) days
following the expiration of the
applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the Tax Liabilities in
question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) and shall
not be subject to the limitations in Article VIII hereof.

               (iv) Any indemnification obligation under this Section 5.7(d) shall be net of
any Tax Benefit realized by the indemnified party or any Material Subsidiary in a
Tax period beginning after the Closing Date or, with respect to a Straddle Period,
the portion of such Straddle Period beginning the day after the Closing Date. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Tax Benefit” shall mean the actual Tax savings
attributable to any deduction, expense, loss, credit or refund to the indemnified
party or any Material Subsidiary, as and when incurred or

45

 

received, calculated on
a last item used basis, and in the case of a Material Subsidiary, limited to the
Ownership Percentage thereof.

               (e) Certain Payments. Buyer and Seller agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to
treat) any payment under this Section 5.7 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax
purposes.

               (f) Contests.

               (i) After the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer each shall notify the other
party in writing within ten (10) days of the commencement of any Tax audit or
administrative or judicial proceeding affecting the Taxes of any of Generation or
the Material Subsidiaries that, if determined adversely to the taxpayer would be
grounds for indemnification under this Section 5.7 of one party (the “Tax
Indemnified Party”) by the other party (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”
and a “Tax Claim”). Such notice shall contain factual information
describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include
copies of any notice or other document received from any Tax authority in respect
of any such asserted Tax liability. Failure to give such notification shall not
affect the indemnification provided in this Section 5.7 except to the extent the
Tax Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such
failure. Thereafter, the Tax Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Tax
Indemnifying Party, as promptly as possible but in no event later than ten (10)
days after the Tax Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all relevant
notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Tax Indemnified
Party.

               (ii) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding
involving any asserted liability for Taxes of Generation or any Material
Subsidiary relating to any taxable years or periods ending on or before the
Closing Date or any Straddle Period, as between Buyer and Seller, Seller shall
have the right, at its sole expense, to control the conduct of such audit or
proceeding; provided, however, that (A) with respect to Straddle Periods, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably
informed with respect to the status of such audit or proceeding and provide Buyer
with copies of all written correspondence with respect to such audit or proceeding
in a timely manner, (B) if such audit or proceeding would be reasonably expected
to result in a material increase in Tax liability of Generation or any Material
Subsidiary for which Buyer would be liable under this Section 5.7, Buyer may
participate in the conduct of such audit or proceeding at its own expense and (C)
Seller shall not consent to any settlement or adjustment with respect to such
audit or proceeding without the written consent of Buyer if such settlement or
adjustment would have the effect of materially increasing the Tax liability of
Buyer, Generation or any Material Subsidiary after the Closing Date.

46

 

               (iii) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding
involving any asserted liability for Taxes of Generation or any Material
Subsidiary relating to any taxable years or periods beginning after the Closing
Date, as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall have the right, at its expense, to
control the conduct of such audit or proceeding.

               (iv) Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in connection with any Tax
Claim, and such cooperation shall include the provision to the Tax Indemnifying
Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim
and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

               (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.7(f), and for
the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Tax Claim, audit or administrative or
judicial proceeding with respect to any Material Subsidiary that is not a
wholly-owned Subsidiary, the Tax Indemnified Party shall only be required
hereunder to confer on the Tax Indemnifying Party such rights as it would
otherwise have vis-à-vis third parties with respect to such Tax Claim, audit or
administrative or judicial proceeding.

               (g) Assistance and Cooperation.

               (i) Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in preparing and filing all
Tax Returns with respect to any of Generation or the Material Subsidiaries,
including maintaining and making available to each other all records and personnel
reasonably necessary in connection with Taxes of any of Generation or the Material
Subsidiaries and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all Tax
periods relating to Taxes of any of Generation or the Material Subsidiaries.

               (ii) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Seller and its
representatives shall have reasonable access to the books and records (including
the right to make extracts thereof) of any of Generation or the Material
Subsidiaries to the extent that such books and records relate to Taxes and to the
extent that such access (i) is within the power of Buyer using reasonable best
efforts and (ii) may reasonably be required by Seller in connection with matters
relating to or affected by the operation of any of Generation or the Material
Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer
upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. If
Buyer shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the
expiration of such seven-year period, Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give
Seller a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such
books and records as Seller may select.

47

 

               (iii) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Buyer and its
representatives shall have reasonable access to the books and records (including
the right to make extracts thereof) of Seller to the extent that such books and
records relate to Taxes of Generation or the Material Subsidiaries and to the
extent that such access (i) is within the power of Seller using reasonable best
efforts and (ii) may reasonably be required by Buyer in connection with matters
relating to or affected by the operation of any of Generation or the Material
Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Seller upon
receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. If Seller
shall desire to dispose of any such books and records prior to the expiration of
such seven year period, Seller shall, prior to such disposition, give Buyer
reasonable opportunity, at Buyer’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and
records as Buyer may select.

               (h) Transfer and Similar Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary, all sales, use, transfer, stamp, duties, recording and similar Taxes
(collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement shall be borne by 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer, and Buyer shall file all
necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes. If required by
Applicable Law, Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Return. Buyer shall provide
copies of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes to Seller no later than five (5) days
after the due dates of such Tax Returns.

               (i) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller
shall cause all Tax sharing agreements between Seller or any of its Affiliates (as determined
immediately after the Closing Date) on the one hand, and any of Generation or the Material
Subsidiaries on the other hand, to be terminated, and all obligations thereunder shall be settled,
and no additional payments shall be made under any provisions thereof after the Closing Date.

               (j) Post-Closing Actions Affecting Seller’s Liability for Taxes. During any Taxable
year that includes the Closing Date, Buyer shall (i) consult in good faith with Seller
prior to (A) the sale of all or a material portion of the assets of any Subsidiary listed on
Section 5.7(j) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (a “Section 5.7(j) Subsidiary”) other than
in the ordinary course of business or (B) the liquidation or dissolution of any Section 5.7(j)
Subsidiary in a transaction that would be treated as a taxable liquidation of a corporation for
United States federal income tax purposes and (ii) use reasonable best efforts, to the extent
within its power, to structure such transaction (or to cause such transaction to be structured) in
a manner intended (based on consultation in good faith with Seller) to minimize any increased
United States federal income tax burden that Seller would suffer as a result of such actions;
provided, however, that Buyer shall have reasonable discretion to conduct and
manage the business and organize the ownership structure of the Section 5.7(j) Subsidiaries in a
manner it deems reasonably advisable, and provided, further, that Buyer shall not
be required to indemnify Seller for any increase in Taxes that occurs as a result of such actions.
For the avoidance of doubt,

48

 

(i) this Section 5.7(j) does not apply to any Taxable year beginning
after the end of the Taxable year that includes the Closing Date and (ii) each Taxable year shall
be deemed to begin on January 1st and end on December 31st.

               (k) For purposes of applying this Section 5.7, but subject to Section 5.16, when applying the
definitions “Pre-Closing Taxes,” “Post-Closing Taxes,” and “Straddle Period,” to Taxes of Material
Subsidiaries other than Generation US Subsidiaries, the term “Closing Date” as used in such
definitions shall mean September 30, 2006.

          Section 5.8 Intercompany Accounts. Except as set forth on Section 5.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, prior to the Closing Date,
subject to Section 5.1(c), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (other than Generation and
the Material Subsidiaries) to, settle intercompany accounts payable to Generation or the Material
Subsidiaries and accounts receivable from Generation or the Material Subsidiaries. Except as set
forth in Section 5.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, subject to Section 5.1(c), Seller shall
determine the method by which such intercompany accounts are eliminated including, but not limited
to, by means of setoff, settlement, capital contribution or reduction in capital, with the intent
of such intercompany account elimination not to adversely affect the cash position of Generation
and the Material Subsidiaries.

          Section 5.9 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

               (a) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall (and shall ensure that each of its Affiliates
shall) continue in force and comply with all Insurance Policies in respect of the businesses of
Generation and the Material Subsidiaries.

               (b) If any insured event occurs before Closing in relation to Generation and the Material
Subsidiaries, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to make recovery under the relevant
Insurance Policy prior to Closing. To the extent that recovery is made, Seller shall ensure that
the proceeds are dealt with in accordance with procedures normally observed by the businesses of
Generation and the Material Subsidiaries.

               (c) Seller shall ensure that each of its Affiliates shall take such steps as Buyer reasonably
requires to make and/or pursue any claim (including giving notice of the claim to the insurer at
the request of Buyer) or to assist Buyer, Generation or any Material Subsidiary in making the
claim, and shall pay to Buyer (on behalf of Generation or any Material Subsidiary) any proceeds
actually received by Seller or its Affiliates within fifteen (15) Business Days of their receipt.

               (d) Seller and Buyer agree that Casualty Insurance Claims relating to the businesses of
Generation and the Generation Subsidiaries (including reported claims and including incurred but
not reported claims) will remain with Generation and the Generation Subsidiaries immediately
following the Closing. For purposes hereof, “Casualty Insurance Claims” shall mean
workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability, directors and officers liability and
products liability claims,

49

 

claims for damages caused to the facilities of Generation and the
Generation Subsidiaries generally insured under all risk, real property, boiler and mechanical
breakdown insurance coverage. The Casualty Insurance Claims are subject to the provisions of
policies of insurance with insurance carriers and contractual arrangements with insurance adjusters
maintained by Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Insurance
Policies”). With respect to the Casualty Insurance Claims, the following procedures shall
apply: (i) Seller or its Affiliates shall continue to administer, adjust, settle and pay, on
behalf of Generation and the Generation Subsidiaries, all Casualty Insurance Claims with dates of
occurrence prior to the date of Closing and (ii) Seller shall invoice Buyer at the end of each
month for Casualty Insurance Claims paid on behalf of Generation and the Generation Subsidiaries by
Seller. In the event that Buyer does not pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller such amount due
within fifteen (15) days of such invoice, interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum shall
accrue on the amount of such invoice. Casualty Insurance Claims to be paid by Seller hereunder
shall include all costs necessary to settle claims including compensatory, medical, legal and other
allocated expenses. In the event that any Casualty Insurance Claim exceeds a deductible or
self-insured retention under the Insurance Policies, Seller shall be entitled to the benefit of any
insurance proceeds that may be available to discharge any portion of such Casualty Insurance Claim.

               (e) Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to the applicability or adequacy
or, except as set forth in Section 3.15 hereof, validity of any Insurance Policies, and Seller
shall not be responsible to Buyer or any of its Affiliates for the failure of any insurer to pay
under any such Insurance Policy.

               (f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide or shall be construed as providing a
benefit or release to any insurer or claims service organization of any obligation under any
Insurance Policies. Seller and Buyer confirm that the sole intention of this Section 5.9 is to
divide and allocate the benefits and obligations under the Insurance Policies between them as of
the Closing Date and not to effect, enhance or diminish the rights and obligations of any insurer
or claims service organization thereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating or
permitting any insurer or claims service organization the right of subrogation against Seller or
Buyer or any of their Affiliates in respect of payments made by one to the other under any
Insurance Policy.

               (g) If Buyer requests a copy of an Insurance Policy relating to a pending or threatened
Casualty Insurance Claim, Seller shall provide a copy of all relevant insurance policies which
insure such Casualty Insurance Claims within five (5) Business Days, provided, that if Seller
cannot provide such policy within five (5) days after exercising reasonable best efforts to locate
such policy, Seller shall continue to exercise its reasonable best efforts to provide such policy
to Buyer as soon as possible thereafter.

     Section 5.10 Preservation of Records. Buyer agrees that it shall, at its own expense, preserve and keep the records held by it
relating to the respective businesses of Generation and the Material Subsidiaries that could
reasonably be required after the Closing by Seller for the greater of (a) the time periods required
pursuant to the Access

50

 

and Support Agreement and (b) the time periods required pursuant to the
applicable document retention program in effect on the Closing Date (a copy of which has been
provided to Buyer); provided, however, that upon expiration of such period, as applicable, Buyer
shall give written notice to Seller if it or the custodian of such books and records proposes to
destroy or dispose of the same. Seller shall have the opportunity for a period of thirty (30) days
after receiving such notice to elect to have some or all of such books and records delivered, at
Seller’s expense and risk, to a location chosen by Seller. In addition, at Seller’s expense Buyer
shall make such records available to Seller as may reasonably be required by Seller in connection
with, among other things, any insurance claim, legal proceeding or governmental investigation
relating to the respective businesses of Seller and its Affiliates, including Generation and the
Material Subsidiaries.

     Section 5.11 Public Statements. On or prior to the Closing Date, neither party shall, nor shall permit its Affiliates to, issue
or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this Agreement,
the Related Agreements or the Consent and Support Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby without the consent of the other party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event any such press release or announcement is required by law, court process or stock exchange
rule to be made by the party proposing to issue the same, such party shall use its reasonable best
efforts to consult in good faith with the other party prior to the issuance of any such press
release or announcement.

     Section 5.12 Certain Transactions.

               (a) Buyer and Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to,
acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial
portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation,
partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire
or agree to acquire any assets if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the
consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i)
impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining,
any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or
termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) significantly increase the risk of any
Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) significantly increase the risk of not being able to remove
any such order on appeal or otherwise or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section 5.12(a) shall prevent the parties from engaging from the actions set forth in Section
5.12 of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

               (b) Prior to Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, agree to
divest or otherwise dispose of, or cause the divestiture or disposition of, any of the Generation
Interests, except as set forth in Section 5.3.

ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause each of Generation and the
Subsidiaries of Generation located in North America to change its corporate name to a name that
does not include “CMS” and to make any necessary legal filings with the appropriate
Governmental Authorities to effectuate such changes. Buyer and its Affiliates shall hold harmless
and indemnify Seller and any of its Affiliates against all Damages resulting from or arising in
connection with the use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the “CMS” name as provided in
this Section 5.13.

               (b) At Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into the License Agreement, pursuant to which
Seller shall grant to Buyer a limited, non-transferable license to use the name and mark “CMS
Generation Co” in jurisdictions outside North and South America on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth therein (including those with respect to quality control).

               (c) Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free
license to use the trademarks, service marks and trade names
listed on 5.13(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, together with all slogans, logotypes,
designs and trade dress associated therewith that are, in each case, in existence as of the Closing
Date and currently being used in the conduct of the businesses of Generation and the Material
Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Seller’s Marks”) solely on and in connection with the
goods and services of the respective businesses of Generation and the Material Subsidiaries and
that are embodied in or on any stationery, business cards, advertising and promotional materials,
packaging and labels, equipment, manuals and other documentation, statements of work, trucks, hard
hats, e-mail addresses, caller ID, printed facsimile headers and footers, web page content and URLs
for web sites, Messenger screens and signs on facilities owned or leased by Generation or the
Material Subsidiaries (“Business Materials”), and for any administrative, corporate and
legal use in connection with the transition away from using the Seller’s Marks; provided,
that not more than six (6) months following the Closing except as expressly provided in the License
Agreement, Buyer shall cease to (i) make any use of Seller’s Marks and any names or marks related
thereto or containing or comprising the Seller’s Marks, including any names or marks confusingly
similar thereto or derivative thereof, and (ii) hold itself out as having any affiliation with
Seller or its Affiliates.

               (d) Any use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of any of the Seller’s Marks as permitted in
this Section 5.13 is subject to their compliance with the quality control requirements and
guidelines in effect for the Seller’s Marks as of the Closing Date and all such use shall be in a
manner and at the level of quality consistent with that in effect as of the Closing Date. Buyer
and its Affiliates shall hold harmless and indemnify Seller and any of its Affiliates for any
Damages resulting from or arising in connection with the use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of
the Seller’s Marks pursuant to this Section 5.13.

52

 

          Section 5.14
Release of Guarantees. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall, effective on the Closing Date, either (a) arrange for
substitute letters of credit, guarantees and other obligations on commercially reasonable terms to
replace in all respects the indemnities, performance bonds, performance guarantees, other guaranty
obligations, letters of credit and other similar arrangements of Seller or its Affiliates
(collectively, the “Released Parties”) in favor of any of Generation or a Material
Subsidiary (collectively, “Guarantees”) or (b) assume all obligations under each such
Guarantee, obtaining from the creditor or other counter-party a full release of the Released
Parties. Section 5.14 of the Seller Disclosure Letter contains a true and accurate list of such
Guarantees. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall terminate, or cause Buyer or one of its
Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for the Released Parties in respect of, all
obligations of the Released Parties under any such Guarantee. Buyer shall, to the extent the
beneficiary or counter-party under any Guarantee refuses to accept such a substitute letter of
credit, (i) obtain a letter of credit on behalf of a Released Party and (ii) indemnify and hold
harmless the Released Parties for any Losses arising from payments under such Guarantees that
relate to events or circumstances arising after the Closing. To the extent that any Released Party
has performance obligations under any such Guarantee, Buyer shall (i) perform such obligations on
behalf of such Released Party or (ii) otherwise take such action as
reasonably requested by Seller so as to put such Released Party in the same position as if Buyer,
and not such Released Party, had performed or was performing such obligations.

          Section 5.15 Reorganization. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall undertake the corporate restructuring steps set forth in
Section 5.15 of the Seller Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that Seller shall be allowed to
modify Section 5.15 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to avoid any adverse regulatory or Tax
implications to the extent such modifications do not materially and negatively impact Buyer.
Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all costs, Taxes and expenses relating to the
implementation of the Reorganization and Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably updated in relation to
the progress of the Reorganization.

          Section 5.16 Merger and Redomiciliation. Prior to Closing, Seller shall (a) cause the Merger to be consummated and (b) use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the Redomiciliation and the tax elections set forth in Section 5.16 of the

Buyer reasonably updated in relation to the progress of the Merger, Redomiciliation and Tax
Elections and allow Buyer and its advisors reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all
documentation relating to the Merger, Redomiciliation and Tax Elections. Buyer shall be
responsible for the payment of all costs, Taxes and reasonable expenses relating to the

the Reorganization such that such entities will not be held, directly or indirectly, by Generation.

          Section 5.19 Financial Statements. To the extent that an audit report for a more recent period that reflected in the representation

          Section 7.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination.

               (a) Subject to Section 7.2(d), in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to

               (v) the matters set forth in Section 8.2(a)(v) of the Seller Disclosure
Letter.

               (b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, subsequent to the Closing,
Buyer shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, their respective
successors and permitted assigns, and their officers and directors (collectively, the “Seller
Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages to the extent incurred by the Seller
Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with:

               (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer
contained in this Agreement, in each case, when made;

               (ii) any breach in any material respect by Buyer of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement; and

               (iii) the employment or termination of employment by Buyer of any of the
Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date.

               (c) Any Person providing indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2 is
referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party,” and any Person entitled to be indemnified
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2 is referred to herein as an “Indemnified
Party.”

               (d) Seller’s indemnification obligations contained in Section 8.2(a)(i) (other than
representations or warranties contained in Section 3.3(a) — 3.3(g), inclusive) shall not apply to
any Claim for Damages unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages exceeds eight million
dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Initial Deductible Amount”), in which event Seller’s indemnity
obligation contained in Section 8.2(a)(i) shall apply to all Claims for Damages in excess of the
Initial Deductible Amount.

               (e) Seller’s indemnification obligations contained in Section 8.2(a)(ii) (other than
representations or warranties contained in Section 3.3(a) — 3.3(g), inclusive) shall not apply to
any Claim for Damages unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages exceeds five million
dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Closing Deductible

59

 

Amount”), in which event Seller’s indemnity
obligation contained in Section 8.2(a)(ii) shall apply to all Claims for Damages in excess of the
Closing Deductible Amount.

               (f) Seller’s indemnification obligations contained in Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(ii) (other
than representations or warranties contained in Section 3.3(a) — 3.3(g), inclusive) shall be
subject to a maximum liability to Seller, in the aggregate, of thirty-three and one-third percent
(33 1/3%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap Amount”). Damages relating to any single breach
or series of
related breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties shall not constitute Damages, and
therefore shall not be applied towards the Initial Deductible Amount or the Closing Deductible
Amount (as applicable) or be indemnifiable hereunder, unless such Damages relating to any single
breach or series of related breaches exceed $100,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”).
Seller’s indemnification obligations contained in Section 8.2(a)(v) shall be subject to a maximum
liability to Seller, in the aggregate, of $50,000,000.

               (g) Buyer’s indemnification obligations contained in Section 8.2(b)(i) shall not apply to any
Claim for Damages unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages equals the Initial Deductible
Amount, in which event Buyer’s indemnification obligation contained in Section 8.2(b)(i) shall
apply to all Claims for Damages in excess of the Initial Deductible Amount, subject to a maximum
liability to Buyer, in the aggregate, of the Cap Amount. Damages relating to any single breach or
series of related breaches of Buyer’s representations and warranties shall not constitute Damages,
and therefore shall not be applied towards the Initial Deductible Amount or be indemnifiable
hereunder, unless such Damages relating to any single breach or series of related breaches exceed
the Minimum Claim Amount.

               (h) The indemnification obligations of each party hereto under this Section 8.2 shall inure to
the benefit of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties, and such Buyer
Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties shall be obligated to keep and perform the
obligations imposed on an Indemnified Party by this Section 8.2, on the same terms as are
applicable to such other party.

               (i) In all cases in which a Person is entitled to be indemnified in accordance with this
Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall be under a duty to take all commercially reasonable
measures to mitigate all losses.

               (j) All amounts paid by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, under this Article VIII shall be
treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

               (k) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.2
shall not apply to any Claim of indemnification permitted to be brought pursuant to Section 5.7.

               (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified
Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII to the extent any Damages are
judicially determined, or determined pursuant to

60

 

Section 9.7 hereof, to be attributable to such
Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

               (m) The remedies provided in this Article VIII shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies
of the parties, from and after the closing Date, with respect to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby.

               (n) If any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes is required by law to be made on an
indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement, the amount of such indemnification payment
shall be increased to any amount which, after making any such deduction or withholding in respect
of Taxes, leaves an amount equal to the payment that would have been due if no such deduction or
withholding in respect of Taxes had been required.

          Section 8.3 Calculation of Damages.

               (a) The amount of any Damages suffered by any party hereto shall be reduced by (i) any amount
that is reserved or sums held in reserve in respect of the indemnifiable event on the balance sheet
of Generation or a Material Subsidiary, as applicable, (ii) any amount that an Indemnified Party is
entitled to receive with respect thereto under any third party insurance coverage or from any other
party alleged to be responsible therefor or (iii) any Tax Benefit realized by an Indemnified Party
or a Material Subsidiary.

               (b) If an Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII, the
Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to collect any amounts available under such
insurance coverage and from such other party alleged to have responsibility. If an Indemnified
Party receives an amount under insurance coverage or from such other party with respect to Damages
at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be,
pursuant to this Article VIII, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the
Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection
with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the Indemnified Party, but net of
any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such amount. To the extent the
Indemnifying Party makes any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VIII in respect of
Damages for which an Indemnified Party has a right to recover against a third party (including an
insurance company), the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the right of the Indemnified
Party to seek and obtain recovery from such third party; provided, however, that if
the Indemnifying Party shall be prohibited from such subrogation, the Indemnified Party shall seek
recovery from such third party on the Indemnifying Party’s behalf and pay any such recovery to the
Indemnifying Party net of expenses.

               (c) For the avoidance of doubt, any Damages of Buyer shall include only the portion of such
Damages attributable to the ownership interest of Generation and its Affiliates in a Material
Subsidiary and shall exclude any portion of

61

 

such Damages attributable to the ownership interest of
any third party in such Material Subsidiary.

          Section 8.4 Procedures for Third-Party Claims. Subject to the Access and Support Agreement, the obligations of any Indemnifying Party to
indemnify any Indemnified Party under this Article VIII with respect to Claim for Damages by third
parties (including Governmental Entities) (a “Third-Party Claim”) shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

          (a) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such
Third-Party Claim promptly after learning of such Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party
may, at its option, undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing and shall
provide written notice of any such undertaking to the Indemnified Party. Failure to give prompt
written notice of a Third-Party Claim hereunder shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s
obligations under this Article VIII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually
prejudiced by such failure to give prompt written notice. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall
cause its employees and representatives to, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection
with the settlement or defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall provide the Indemnifying Party
with all available information and documents concerning such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall provide the Indemnified Party with copies of all non-privileged communications and
other information in respect of the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party, within thirty
(30) days after written notice of any such Third-Party Claim, fails to assume the defense of such
Third-Party Claim or, after assuming defense, negligently fails to defend and fails to call after
reasonable written notice of the same, the Indemnified Party against whom such Third-Party Claim
has been made shall (upon further written notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to
undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the
account and risk, and at the expense, of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at any time prior to settlement,
compromise or final determination thereof upon written notice to the Indemnified Party.

          (b) Anything in this Section 8.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Indemnified Party
shall not settle a Third-Party Claim for which it is indemnified without the prior written consent
of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action,
suit or proceeding, or consent to the entry of any judgment for relief other than monetary damages
to be borne by the Indemnifying Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

          Section 8.5 Procedures for Inter-Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnified Party determines that it has a Claim for Damages against an
Indemnifying Party hereunder (other than as a result of a Third-Party Claim), the Indemnified Party
shall give reasonably prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the
amount of such Claim and any relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto, and

62

 

such notice
shall be promptly given even if the nature or extent of the Damages is not then known. The
notification shall be subsequently supplemented within a reasonable time as additional information
regarding the Claim or
the nature or extent of Damages resulting therefrom becomes available to the Indemnified Party.
Any failure to give such reasonably prompt notice or supplement thereto or to provide any such
facts and circumstances will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party, except to the extent
that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually materially prejudiced thereby. The
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt to negotiate in good faith for a thirty
(30) day period regarding the resolution of any disputed Claims for Damages. If for any reason,
such dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, on the request of any party it shall be resolved by
arbitration in accordance with Section 9.7. Promptly following the final determination of the
amount of any Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, subject to the
limitations of the Minimum Claim Amount, Initial Deductible Amount, the Closing Deductible Amount
and the Cap Amount, shall pay such Damages to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer or check made
payable to the order of the Indemnified Party.

          Section 8.6 Additional Procedures for Claims Made Pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(v).

          (a) Any claims for Damages by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(v)
shall be made during the Special Indemnity Period.

          (b) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no right to bring a claim for Damages
for any item listed on Section 8.2(a)(v) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), (ii) or (iii).

          (c) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to limit
the amount of Damages that may be payable by Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(v), and
shall not take any action to accelerate the timing of payment, or increase the amount, of
any Damages payable pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(v).

or to such other address as the addressee shall have last furnished in writing in accord with this
provision to the addressor.

          Section 9.7 Resolution of Disputes. Except for the resolution of disputes which shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Sections 5.7 and 8.5 herein (which shall be governed only by subsection (d) of this
Section 9.7), all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Related Agreement or
the breach, termination or validity thereof or the parties’ performance hereunder or thereunder
(“Dispute”) shall be resolved as provided by this Section 9.7.

               (a) If the Dispute has not been resolved by executive officer negotiation within thirty (30)
days of the disputing party’s notice requesting negotiation, or if the parties fail to meet within
twenty (20) days from delivery of said notice, such Dispute shall be submitted to and finally
settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of
Commerce (the “ICC”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.

               (b) The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered in London, England, in the
English language. There shall be three arbitrators, one of whom shall be nominated by each of
Buyer and Seller in accordance with the Rules. The two party appointed arbitrators shall have
thirty (30) days from the confirmation of the

65

 

nomination of the second arbitrator to agree on the
nomination of a third arbitrator who shall serve as chair of the arbitral tribunal. On the request
of any party, any arbitrator not timely appointed in accordance with this Agreement or the Rules
shall be appointed by the ICAICC.

               (c) The award shall be final and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered and shall
be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues,
or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. The parties hereby expressly agree that leave to
appeal under Section 45 or Section 69 of the English Arbitration Act 1996 may not be sought with
respect to any question of law arising in the course of the arbitration or with respect to any
award made. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction
over a party or any of its assets. For the purpose of the enforcement of an award, the parties
irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of a competent court in any jurisdiction
in which a party may have assets and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of
personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties shall remain in full force and effect pending the award in any arbitration proceeding
hereunder.

               (d) The Parties agree that any court action or proceeding to compel or in support of
arbitration or for provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including any action to enforce the
provisions of this Section 9.7 or for temporary injunctive relief to maintain the status quo or
prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitral tribunal, shall be brought
exclusively in the federal or state courts located in London, England (the “London
Courts”).
The Parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
London Courts for such purpose and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the London Courts in any
action to enforce any arbitration award rendered hereunder, and waive any right to stay or dismiss
any such actions or proceedings brought before the London Courts on the basis of forum non
conveniens or improper venue. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available
under the jurisdiction of a national court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to
grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any
temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any
party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The parties hereby irrevocably
waive any and all rights to trial by jury in any such action or proceeding.

          Section 9.8 Language. The parties confirm that it is their wish that this Agreement, the Related Agreements and any
other documents related hereto or thereto, including notices, schedules and authorizations, have
been and shall be drawn up in the English language only.

          Section 9.9 No Right of Setoff. Neither party hereto nor any Affiliate thereof may deduct from, set off, holdback or otherwise
reduce in any manner whatsoever any amount owed to it hereunder or pursuant to any Related
Agreement against any amounts owed hereunder or pursuant to any Related Agreement by such Persons
to the other party hereto or any of such other party’s Affiliates.

66

 

          Section 9.10 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement.

          Section 9.11 Limitation on Liability. In the event that a party breaches this Agreement prior to, or in the absence of, Closing,
neither party’s liabilities hereunder shall exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate.

          Section 9.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Seller Disclosure Letter, Buyer Disclosure Letter, and Schedules
hereto, together with the Related Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede
all previous agreements, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement
and all prior drafts of this Agreement, all of which are merged into this Agreement. No prior
drafts of this Agreement and no words or phrases from any such prior drafts shall be admissible
into evidence in any action or suit involving this Agreement. In the case of any material conflict
between any provision of this Agreement and any other Related Agreement, this Agreement shall take
precedence.

          Section 9.13 Binding Nature; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and permitted assigns.
Except as expressly provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the
benefit of or enforceable by any third party, including any creditor of either party or any of
their Affiliates. Except as expressly provided herein, no such third party shall obtain any right
under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reasons of any such provision make any Claim in
respect of any Liability (or otherwise) against either party hereto.

          Section 9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which, when executed,
shall be deemed to be an original and both of which together shall constitute one and the same
document.

          Section 9.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either party under this
Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision shall be fully
severable, (ii) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a
legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible.

          Section 9.16 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do
not define or limit the provisions hereof.

67

 

          Section 9.17 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled
to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written
instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party or parties waiving such term or condition.
No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this
Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise
afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

          Section 9.18 Amendment. This Agreement may be altered, amended or changed only by a writing making specific reference to
this Agreement and signed by duly authorized representatives of each party.

68

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller and Buyer, by their duly authorized officers, have executed this
Agreement as of the date first written above.

          (b) To the extent that any settlement or compromise agreement entered into with respect to the
Proceedings would require Seller or any of its Affiliates to provide any consideration, monetary or
non-monetary (either directly or pursuant to its indemnification obligations set forth in Section

Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

2

 

          (c) Subject to paragraph (b) above, Seller or its Affiliates shall cause appropriate officers,
duly authorized to act on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates, to execute (at Acquiror’s cost) any

settlement agreement and general release.

     Section 3. Seller’s Obligation to Maintain Records. Seller shall maintain and
preserve in a manner and at a level consistent in all material respects with the manner and level
applied immediately prior to the Closing Date, unless otherwise directed by a court order or
governmental authority, and shall cause the Seller Representatives to, maintain and preserve all
Claims Data until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9 hereof or until such
time as Acquiror shall notify Seller in writing that it is no longer necessary to maintain such
Claims Data. Seller shall not, and shall cause the Seller Representatives not to, destroy or
dispose of the Claims Data, unless consented to in writing by Acquiror. Seller may move the Claims

     Section 4. Access to Claims Data. In connection with the defense, prosecution or
settlement of the Proceedings, Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Representatives to,
reasonably cooperate with and give Acquiror or the Acquiror Representatives access to all Claims
Data during regular business hours, and upon five (5) days prior written notice, at Seller’s

shall have the right, at its own expense, to make copies of such Claims Data. Seller shall make
available to Acquiror or the Acquiror Representatives, upon written request and at Acquiror’s
expense, Seller’s personnel to provide reasonable assistance (provided such assistance shall not
materially affect the normal operations of Seller or its business) to Acquiror or the Acquiror
Representatives in locating and obtaining any Claims Data maintained by Seller.

     Section 5. Cooperation in Litigation. Seller shall (a) make available to Acquiror or
the Acquiror Representatives (provided such assistance shall not materially affect the normal
operations of Seller or its business), upon five (5) days written request, any relevant employee of
Seller from time to time necessary to authenticate the Claims Data, or any employee of Seller whose
assistance or participation is reasonably required by Acquiror or the Acquiror Representatives in
anticipation of, or in the investigation of or
preparation for the defense or settlement of the Proceeding; provided that no employee or agent of
the Acquiror or one of its Affiliates can reasonably provide the assistance requested from the
employee of Seller, and (b) provide reasonable assistance to Acquiror in locating any employee who
is no longer employed by Seller whose assistance or participation is reasonably required by
Acquiror or the Acquiror Representatives in anticipation of, or in the investigation of or
preparation for the defense or settlement of the Proceedings. Acquiror shall pay all reasonable
out of pocket costs and expenses arising from such assistance or participation by such employee of
Seller. Acquiror shall use their reasonable best efforts to minimize the interference with the
duties of such employee of Seller caused by such assistance or participation.

     Section 6. Insurance. Seller hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Acquiror all
rights, benefits and causes in action under all insurance policies (the “Insurance Policies”)
maintained

3

 

by or for the benefit of Generation or any Project to the extent such Insurance Policies
obligate (or potentially obligate) the insurers to defend or indemnify any insureds therein in
connection with, arising from or related to the Proceedings. Seller agrees that Acquiror may
pursue any claims and make any demands to any insurer under the Insurance Policies in the name of
Seller to receive and enjoy the full benefits of this provision to the fullest extent permitted by
law. Seller further agrees to immediately deliver to Acquiror all proceeds, payments or benefits
received from any insurer under the Insurance Policies to the extent such proceeds, payments or
benefits are made in connection with, arising from or relating to the Proceedings.

     Section 7. Indemnification. In the event Seller fails to perform or comply with any
of its covenants and obligations described in hereunder, Acquiror shall promptly provide Seller
with written notice of the assertion of such non-performance or non-compliance, such notice shall
be given in accordance with Section 9.6 of the Purchase Agreement and shall specify, in reasonable
detail, the nature of such breach. Subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, the provisions of
Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to the indemnification for breach of this
Agreement by Seller, and by this reference such provisions of Article VIII of the Purchase
Agreement are incorporated herein as if set forth in full herein. The obligation of Acquiror to
indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement shall
not apply to the extent such Damages are attributable to Seller’s failure to comply with this
Agreement. The remedies available to Acquiror under this Section 7 are in addition to those
available to it under Section 8.

     Section 8. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage
will occur if any of Seller’s covenants under this Agreement is not performed in accordance with
its specific terms or otherwise is breached, and that Acquiror may not have an adequate remedy at
law in respect of such non-performance or breach. It is accordingly agreed that Acquiror shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent any non-performance or breach of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or
any state having jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or
in equity.
In addition, Seller agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of
Seller’s covenants under this Agreement.

     Section 9. Survival; Modification, Termination and Waiver. This Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (a) the written consent of the parties hereto
to terminate this Agreement, or (b) 30 days after termination of the Proceedings by a binding
settlement or a final court order, not subject to appeal or review. This Agreement may be amended,
supplemented or modified, and any provision hereof may be waived, only pursuant to a written
instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any
other provision hereof (whether or not similar). No delay on the part of Acquiror in exercising
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

     Section 10. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall
be in writing, shall refer to this Agreement, and shall otherwise be given in accordance with
Section 9.6 of the Purchase Agreement.

4

 

     Section 11. Governing Law. This Agreement, including all maters of construction,
validity and performance, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the
State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws or any other law that would
make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of New York applicable hereto.

     Section 12. Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No
assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party (by
operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which
consent may be withheld or granted by such party in its sole discretion, provided that such consent
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Acquiror if Seller complies with the provision of
the last sentence of this Section 12. Any attempted assignment without required consents shall be
void. In the event Seller proposes to sell all or substantially all of the assets of its business
at any time subsequent to the date hereof, Seller shall provide Acquiror notice of such sale as
soon as reasonably practicable, whereupon Acquiror shall have the right, at its option and expense,
upon written notice to Seller, to make copies of any Claims Data (whether prior to or following
such sale) for a reasonable period of time following receipt of such notice. Seller will cause
such purchaser to assume Seller’s obligations under this Agreement utilizing a written instrument
reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror.

     Section 13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable under any applicable present or future law, and if the rights or
obligations of either party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected
thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof,
(c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision,
there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable
provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible.

     Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more
counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

     Section 15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Purchase Agreement, the
Seller Disclosure Letter, Buyer Disclosure Letter, and Schedules thereto, together with the other
Related Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede all previous agreements,
whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and all prior drafts of
this Agreement, all of which are merged into this Agreement. No prior drafts of this Agreement and
no words or phrases from any such prior drafts shall be admissible into evidence in any action or
suit involving this Agreement.

     Section 16. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof.

     Section 17. Consent to Jurisdiction; Exclusive Forum. All disputes arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof or the parties’
performance hereunder shall be resolved as provided by Section 9.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

Exhibit B

EXECUTION VERSION

          THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 2, 2007 (the “Effective
Date”), by and among CMS Enterprises Company, a Michigan corporation (“CMS”) and Abu
Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC, a United Arab Emirates public joint stock company
(“Licensee”). CMS and Licensee are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
“Parties” or individually as a “Party”. Initially capitalized terms defined in
this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them herein.

          WHEREAS, CMS and Licensee have entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the
“Purchase Agreement”) dated February 3, 2007; and

          WHEREAS, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, Licensee desires to receive from CMS, (i)
a limited license during the Term to use the name and mark CMS GENERATION CO. (the “Mark”)
in countries and jurisdictions located outside of the Western Hemisphere (i.e. all
countries and jurisdictions of North, South and Central America, and all related islands generally
considered to be in the Western Hemisphere) (the “Territory”) solely in connection with
Licensee’s electric generation business (the “Business”), and (ii) a perpetual license to
use all intellectual property rights owned by CMS in the items set forth on Schedule A (the
“Licensed IP”) solely for Licensee’s internal use in the Business, on the terms and subject
to the conditions of this Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants contained
herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. License

1.1 CMS hereby grants to Licensee (i) solely during the Term and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable,
paid-up and royalty-free license to use the Mark solely in the Territory in connection with the
conduct of the Business, and (ii) a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, paid-up and royalty-free
license to use the Licensed IP solely for Licensee’s internal use in the Business (collectively,
the “License”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Mark shall include only the word mark CMS
GENERATION and shall not include any of CMS’s or its affiliates’ logos, designs, symbols, or
slogans (“Related Marks”).

1.2 Licensee may (i) only use the Mark in the same manner, including in the same style, typeface
and graphic appearance, depicted on Schedule B, and (ii) not combine the Mark with any other logo,
design, symbol, trademark, service mark, company or corporate name or slogan or with any prefix or
suffix.

1.3 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights to, and shall not, use the Mark or the
Licensed IP except as expressly permitted herein. All rights not expressly granted to Licensee
herein are reserved to CMS.

1.4 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the License in Section 1.1(ii) shall only cover the
Licensed IP as it exists as of the Effective Date and shall not cover any modifications,
improvements, fixes, patches and/or related intellectual property developed by CMS to any Licensed
IP subsequent to the Effective Date. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant any license,
ownership, or rights of any kind to Licensee to any new versions, upgrades, updates, patches,
bug-fixes, or other iterations of the Licensed IP created subsequent to the Effective Date by, or
on behalf of, CMS, and nothing herein shall be construed to require CMS to license, assign or
provide any additional materials, versions, upgrades, updates, batches, bug fixes, or any other
items created, developed, enhanced or improved after the Effective Date

1

 

by, or on behalf of, CMS. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant any license, ownership, or
rights of any kind to CMS to any new versions, upgrades, updates, patches, bug-fixes, or other
iterations of the Licensed IP created subsequent to the Effective Date by, or on behalf of,
Licensee.

2. Ownership of the Mark

2.1 Licensee acknowledges that CMS is the owner of the Mark and the Licensed IP throughout the
world, and Licensee shall not challenge CMS’s ownership of the Mark or the Licensed IP anywhere.

2.2 Licensee shall not acquire any ownership rights in the Mark or the Licensed IP, or any other
right adverse to CMS’s interests, by virtue of this Agreement or by virtue of Licensee’s use of the
Mark or the Licensed IP. Licensee agrees that its use of the Mark under this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of CMS, and this Agreement does not confer on Licensee any goodwill or ownership
interest in the Mark. Licensee hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to CMS, and its
successors and assigns, any and all right, title and interest that Licensee may have or otherwise
acquire in and to all trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights in and to the Mark
throughout the world.

2.3 Licensee shall not directly or indirectly: (i) use the Mark in any way that may tend to impair
its validity as a proprietary trademark or service mark; (ii) take any action that would jeopardize
or impair CMS’s ownership of the Mark, or its legality and/or enforceability; (iii) apply for the
registration or renewal of registration of the Mark or any variation thereon, or any trademark,
service mark, trade name, symbol, word, or internet domain name (other than the Domain Names) which
contains or is similar to, the Mark; (iv) use, advertise or promote any trademark, service mark,
trade name, or internet domain name that is confusingly similar to the Mark or any contraction or
abbreviation thereof; (v) use the Mark in any jurisdiction, including within the Territory, after
such time that Licensee knows or has reason to know that such use infringes or is alleged to
infringe the trademark rights or other proprietary rights of another person, or (vi) use the
Licensed IP after such time that Licensee knows or has reason to know that such use infringes or
otherwise violates the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of another person
(including any rights to privacy or personal information).

3. Maintenance of Quality Control

3.1 Licensee shall not take any action, and/or shall cease taking any action, that in any way might
tend to disparage or reflect negatively upon, or diminish the value of, the Mark or the reputation
of CMS. Licensee acknowledges that upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, no monetary
value shall be attributable to any goodwill associated with the use of the Mark by Licensee.

3.2 Licensee hereby covenants that in the course of conducting the Business under the Mark,
Licensee shall not use any of CMS’s or its affiliates’ Related Marks.

3.3 Upon CMS’s request, Licensee shall submit to CMS for prior review and written approval any
materials (whether in written, electronic, or other form) using the Mark in any manner other than
that which has previously been approved by CMS, which approval shall be in CMS’s reasonable
discretion.

4. Compliance With Law; Licenses, Permits, Regulations, Registrations, Etc.

4.1 Licensee shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
in connection with its use of the Mark and the Licensed IP, and its business, products, and
services operated or offered in connection with the Mark.

permits, and regulatory approvals which are required by any executive, legislative, judicial,
tribal, regulatory, taxing or administrative agency, body, commission, department, board, court,
tribunal, arbitrating body or authority of the Territory or any country outside the Territory, or
any state, local or other governmental subdivision thereof (“Governmental Authority”) with
respect to this Agreement, and to comply with any requirements of such Governmental Authorities.
Upon CMS’s request, Licensee shall furnish CMS written evidence from such regulatory authorities of
any such licenses, permits, clearances, authorizations, or regulatory approvals.

4.3 In the event CMS deems recordation necessary, Licensee shall cooperate with CMS in connection
with the recording of this Agreement with the appropriate Governmental Authorities in the Territory
and in the renewal of such recordation. Licensee shall provide assistance and information to CMS

of this Agreement in a form necessary, but without change of substance (except where such change is
necessary for purposes of recordation) hereof, for recordation. Upon expiration or termination of
this Agreement, and in addition to the requirements of Section 8.5, the Parties shall cooperate to
effect a cancellation or termination of any recordation of this Agreement with the appropriate
Governmental Authorities in the Territory and the Parties will grant, and hereby do grant, to each
other an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest to effect such cancellation within
twenty (20) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

4.4 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and in addition to the requirements of Section
8.5, Licensee hereby agrees, and shall cooperate with CMS, to effect a cancellation or termination
of any registration of Licensee of the Mark as a company name with a Governmental Authority in the
Territory, and the Parties will grant, and hereby do grant, to each other an irrevocable power of
attorney coupled with an interest to effect such cancellation within twenty (20) days after the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.

4.5 Licensee may, at its sole expense and subject to CMS’s prior written approval, register
Internet domain names containing the Mark solely in the Territory (i.e., a domain name with
a country specific top-level domain that expressly identifies a country within the Territory
(i.e. www.cmsgeneration.it for Italy) (the “Domain Names”) as internet domain names
(but not as trademarks) with an appropriate domain name registrar.

4.6 In addition to the requirements of Section 8.4(e) of this Agreement, upon expiration or
termination of this Agreement, Licensee hereby agrees to allow any such registration for the Domain
Names to lapse or, at the request of CMS, to cancel or assign to CMS or its designated affiliate
any such registration (if possible) without any payment by CMS or its affiliates. In the event
that any such cancellation or assignment is not effectuated within thirty (30) days of any request
by CMS, Licensee shall, and hereby does, grant to CMS an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with
an interest, and shall otherwise cooperate with CMS, to effect such cancellation or assignment.

5. Intellectual Property Protection

5.1 Licensee shall, at its own expense, notify CMS promptly after it becomes aware thereof, of (i)
any use or application or registration of any word, phrase, symbol, logo or design, or any
combination of any of the foregoing, that might constitute infringement or other violation of the
Mark in the Territory; (ii) any claim of any rights in the Mark adverse to CMS’s interests in and
to such mark, or in any confusingly similar mark in the Territory or any claim that Licensee’s use
of the Mark infringes or otherwise violates the trademark rights or other proprietary rights of
any other person; or (iii) any claim of any rights in the

3

 

Licensed IP adverse to CMS’s interests in and to such intellectual property, or any claim that
Licensee’s use of the Licensed IP infringes or otherwise violates the intellectual property or
other proprietary rights of another person (including any rights to privacy or personal
information).

5.2 Licensee agrees, at its own expense and as CMS may reasonably request, to (i) cooperate fully
with CMS in the prosecution and elimination of any unauthorized use or infringement or other
violation of the Mark in the Territory or the Licensed IP, including joining in a suit or
proceeding against a person making such unauthorized or infringing use; and (ii) execute any
further agreements or documents as may become necessary.

5.3 CMS shall have the sole right, in its sole discretion, to commence or prosecute (or decide not
to commence or prosecute) registration of the mark or suits or proceedings against third parties
with respect to the Mark and the Licensed IP.

6. DISCLAIMER

6.1 CMS HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, VALIDITY, REGISTRABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING
FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE), REGARDING THE MARK OR THE LICENSED IP. WITHOUT
LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) THE LICENSE GRANTED IN
THIS AGREEMENT, THE MARK, AND THE LICENSED IP ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND (B) CMS SHALL NOT BE
OBLIGATED TO PREPARE, CONVERT, TRANSLATE, OR OTHERWISE PRESENT THE LICENSED IP IN ANY PARTICULAR
FORMAT.

7. Defense and Indemnification

7.1 Licensee, at its expense, hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless CMS and its
affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with respect to any
damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, interest, judgments, assessments, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, incurred, arising from or based in any
respect on a claim by any third party arising, directly or indirectly, from any use by Licensee of
the Licensed IP, the Mark or the Domain Names (a “Third-Party Claim”).

7.2 Licensee may, at its option, undertake the defense of a Third-Party Claim for which it has an
obligation to indemnify CMS pursuant to Section 7.1 by representatives of its own choosing and
shall provide written notice of any such undertaking to CMS; provided, however, that CMS shall have
complete control and decision-making authority with respect to any Third-Party Claim to the extent
it relates to the validity or enforceability of the Mark. CMS shall, and shall cause its employees
and representatives to, reasonably cooperate with Licensee in connection with the settlement or
defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall provide Licensee with all reasonably available
information and documents concerning such Third-Party Claim. Licensee shall provide CMS with
copies of all non-privileged communications and other information in respect of the Third-Party
Claim. If Licensee, within thirty (30) days after written notice of any such Third-Party Claim,
fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, or, after assuming defense, fails to
reasonably defend the same, CMS shall (upon further written notice to Licensee) have the right to
undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the
account and risk, and at the expense, of Licensee, subject

4

 

to the right of Licensee to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at any time prior to
settlement, compromise or final determination thereof upon written notice to CMS.

Third-Party Claim for which it is indemnified without the prior written consent of Licensee, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) Licensee shall not
enter into any settlement or compromise of any action, suit or proceeding, or consent to the entry
of any judgment for relief other than monetary damages to be borne by Licensee, without the prior
written consent of CMS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided, however, that to the extent such settlement, compromise, or consent to the entry of
judgment for relief relates to the validity or enforceability of the Mark, CMS’s consent may be
withheld at its sole discretion.

five (5) years, unless earlier terminated as provided for in this Agreement (the “Term”).

Licensee will assign any rights to the Mark to CMS or an affiliate of CMS; and

     (e) Subject to Section 4.6, upon expiration of the Transitional Period, Licensee shall remove
all content from any Internet web site corresponding to the Domain Names.

8.6 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall as soon as reasonably
practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Cessation Date, (i) take all
steps necessary, and fully cooperate with CMS and/or its affiliates, to de-register the Licensee’s
corporate name if it includes the Mark and to cancel any recordation of this Agreement with any
Governmental Authorities in the Territory; and (ii) change its corporate name to a name that does
not include the Mark or any variation, derivation or colorable imitation thereof.

8.7 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article 8 stating otherwise, Sections 1.1(ii), 4.3, 4.4,
4.6, 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6, and Articles 2, 7, 9, and 10 of this Agreement (and Sections 1.3, 4.1, 5.1,
5.2, and 5.3, solely to the extent such provisions relate to the Licensed IP or Licensee’s use
thereof) shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

9. Confidentiality

9.1 Licensee shall maintain in confidence all non-public information or confidential aspects of the
Licensed IP (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Licensee shall not disclose or
make available to any third party such Confidential Information except for disclosure to Licensee’s
employees, vendors, contractors, parent, subsidiaries and representatives only to the extent
necessary to enable Licensee to exercise its rights hereunder. Prior to Licensee’s disclosure of
any Confidential Information to any such person as expressly permitted herein, Licensee shall
obtain prior written agreement from any such person not already bound by a fiduciary or contractual
duty or obligation of confidentiality covering the Confidential Information to hold in confidence
and not make use of such Confidential Information for any purpose other than those permitted or
contemplated by this Agreement. Licensee shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses
to protect its own confidential information with respect to, and will take all reasonable steps to
ensure that such employees, agents or consultants do not disclose or make any unauthorized use, of
such Confidential Information. Licensee shall promptly notify CMS upon discovery of any
unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

6

 

9.2 Notwithstanding Section 9.1, Licensee may disclose Confidential Information subject to and in
accordance with this Section 9.2, pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court, arbitrator or
governmental body, agency or official. In the event that Licensee shall receive a request to
disclose any Confidential Information under a subpoena or order, Licensee shall promptly notify CMS
thereof (to the extent not unlawful to do so), and CMS may at its expense take steps to resist or
narrow such request, or to obtain an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded the Confidential Information that is disclosed, and Licensee shall reasonably cooperate
with CMS in connection therewith. In the event that Licensee is ultimately compelled to disclose
such Confidential Information, Licensee shall use all reasonable efforts to cause disclosure only
of such minimal amount of Confidential Information as is required to be so disclosed.

9.3 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that to the extent Licensee or its affiliates, or their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents obtains knowledge of, possession of, or access
to (1) “sensitive information” as described in the 2007 Code of Conduct and Statement of Ethics of
CMS Energy Corporation (“Sensitive Information”), or (2) information or material that is
(a) privileged or otherwise protected under the attorney-client privilege or any other applicable
privilege or protection, or (b) is protected from discovery as work product within the meaning of
Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (“Privileged Information”), in connection
with this Agreement, such knowledge, possession, and/or access shall not (x) operate as or
constitute a waiver of any attorney client, work product or other privilege belonging to CMS or its
affiliates relating to Privileged Information, (y) operate as or constitute a waiver of any former
CMS employee’s duty to maintain the confidentiality of Sensitive Information, whether arising under
common law, the 2007 Code of Conduct and Statement of Ethics of CMS Energy Corporation, any
confidentiality agreement, or any other requirement or obligation to maintain confidentiality, nor
(z) otherwise render the Sensitive Information anything other than confidential information
belonging exclusively to CMS. Upon obtaining any such knowledge, access, or possession of
Privileged Information, Licensee shall (and shall cause it affiliates to) immediately notify CMS in
writing of any such knowledge, possession, and/or access to such Privileged Information, and upon
CMS’s request return and/or destroy such Privileged Information and cease and, if applicable, block
access thereto.

responsible for any other Party’s acts or obligations; provided, however, that CMS may indicate

10.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including the Schedule hereto, which is
hereby incorporated in the terms of this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement between the

forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party or Parties waiving such
term or condition. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one

illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this
Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible.

10.8 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND

10.9 No Assignment. Licensee may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or the License granted hereunder in whole or in part (including by
operation of law or change of control) without the express prior written consent of CMS, which
consent may be withheld in CMS’s sole and absolute discretion. Any assignment or transfer in

10.12 Language. This Agreement (including the Schedule hereto) has been prepared in the
English language and may be translated into other languages of the Territory if necessary for
recordation in such jurisdiction or otherwise required by a Governmental Authority; provided,
however, that the English language version shall control all questions of interpretation and
performance hereof. If there is any difference in meaning between any portion of the English
version and the other-language version or versions, the English version shall prevail. Unless
otherwise specifically required by law or by written agreement of the Parties or as otherwise
provided herein, all Notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be made in the English language.

10.13 Further Assurances and Cooperation. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver such
other documents and to take all such other actions as the other Party may reasonably request to
effect the terms of this Agreement.

of strict construction against either Party shall apply to any term or condition of this Agreement.
The article and section headings of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are to be
given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.15 Interpretation. The words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of
similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedule hereto, as the same may

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

          This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of May 2, 2007, by and
between CMS Enterprises Company, a Michigan corporation (“Seller”), and Abu Dhabi National
Energy Company PJSC, a United Arab Emirates public joint stock company (“Buyer”).

          WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated as of
February 3, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller has agreed to sell
and Buyer has agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding limited liability interests of
CMS Generation LLC, a [Delaware] limited liability company (together with its Subsidiaries,
“Generation”).

          WHEREAS, Generation, through its Subsidiaries, indirectly holds ownership interests in (a) the
following energy projects: Jorf, Jubail, Neyveli, Shuweihat, Takoradi and Taweelah (collectively,
the “Projects”).

          WHEREAS, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, Seller and Buyer have agreed that Seller
shall provide to Buyer the transition services described herein (the “Transition Services”)
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and agreements contained
in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

          Section 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined in this Article I shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Purchase Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

          “Business” shall mean the business conducted by the Generation and the Projects after
giving effect to the Reorganization.

          “Contact Person,” with respect to a Service, shall mean the person set forth opposite
such Service on Schedule A, or such person’s successor or substitute.

          “Service” or “Services” shall mean each of the services described in Schedule
A hereto to be provided by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.

 

 

ARTICLE II

SERVICES

     Section 2.1 Services.

               (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall provide, or shall cause a Subsidiary
of Seller to provide, to Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer the Services during the Term in a manner
and at a level of service consistent in all material respects with the services provided to the
Business as it existed immediately prior to the Closing Date.

               (b) For each Service, the parties have set forth on Schedule A, among other things,
the time period during which the Service will be provided (if different from the term of this
Agreement determined pursuant to Article III), a summary of the Service to be provided, a
description of the Service, the charge for the Service and any other terms applicable thereto.

               (c) Buyer understands that the Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature and are
furnished by Seller for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement. Buyer further understands that Seller is not in the business of providing Services to
third parties and will not, unless otherwise agreed by the Seller and the Buyer in writing, provide
the Services beyond the applicable Term. Buyer agrees to transition each Service to its own
internal organization or other third party service providers by the expiration of the applicable
Term.

               (d) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall grant to Buyer, or shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause Buyer to be granted, a non-exclusive licence to use (but not to modify) any
software used in connection with the provision of the Services to the extent that a licence is
needed for Buyer to receive the benefit of the Services.

               (e) The Seller agrees that in the event following Closing, it becomes apparent that Schedule A
omits any services provided by Seller or its Affiliates to Generation and the Projects immediately
prior to Closing, Seller shall, upon Buyer’s request, provide as soon as reasonably practicable
such other services on a basis consistent with Section 2.1(a) hereof.

               (f) For the avoidance of doubt, legal services shall not be included in the Services.

          Section 2.2 Standard of Care. Seller shall provide such Services exercising the same degree of care as it exercises in
performing the same or similar services for itself and its Affiliates.

          Section 2.3 Modification of Services. Schedule A identifies the Services to be provided by Seller and, subject to the mutual
agreement of the parties hereto acting reasonably, it may be amended in writing from time to time,
to add any additional Services or to modify or delete Services.

2

 

          Section 2.4 Independence.

               (a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all employees and representatives of Seller shall be
deemed for all purposes, including without limitation, all compensation and employee benefits
matters to be employees or representatives of Seller and not employees or representatives of Buyer.
In connection with provision of the Services, the employees and representatives of Seller shall be
under the direction, control and supervision of Seller (and not Buyer) and Seller shall have the
sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of
employment), assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives.

               (b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all employees and representatives of Buyer shall be
deemed for purposes of all compensation and employee benefits matters to be employees or
representatives of Buyer and not employees or representatives of Seller.

          Section 2.5 Non-Exclusivity. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from obtaining, in whole or in part, services of
any nature that may be obtainable from Seller from its own employees or from providers other than
Seller.

          Section 2.6 Cooperation. Buyer shall, in a timely manner, take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable in order to enable or assist Seller in the provision of the Services, including providing
necessary information and specific written authorizations and consents, and Seller shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent that Buyer’s failure to take any such action
renders performance by Seller of such obligations unlawful or impracticable.

          Section 2.7 Limitation On Services. Seller shall not be required to expand its facilities, incur new long-term capital expenses or
employ additional personnel in order to provide the Services to Buyer. Furthermore, Seller shall
not be obligated to provide Services hereunder that are significantly greater in nature or scope
than the comparable services provided by Seller to the Business immediately prior to the Closing
Date, or that are greater in nature or scope than comparable services provided by Seller during the
Term to its own internal organizations.

          Section 2.8 Personnel.

               (a) In providing the Services, Seller as it deems necessary or appropriate, acting reasonably,
may (a) use the personnel of Seller or its Affiliates or (b) employ the services of third parties
to the extent such third party services are routinely utilized to provide similar services to other
businesses of Seller or are reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of any of such
Services. Buyer may retain consultants and other professional advisers at its sole expense.

               (b) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that asset level employees employed
by Seller or its Affiliates will be available to support a twelve months transition; provided that
Seller shall not be required to offer retention arrangements or other special arrangements to such
employees in order to comply with its obligations hereunder.

3

 

          Section 2.9 Right To Determine Priority. If there is an unavoidable conflict between the immediate needs of Seller and those of Buyer as
to the use of or access to a particular Service, Seller shall have the right, acting reasonably and
upon consulting the Buyer, if practicable, to establish reasonable priorities, at particular times
and under particular circumstances, as between Seller and Buyer. In any such situation, Seller
shall provide notice to Buyer of the establishment of such priorities at the earliest practicable
time.

ARTICLE III

TERM AND TERMINATION

          Section 3.1 Term. (a) This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall remain in force for a
period of three (3) months (except that Seller’s obligations under Section 2.8(b) shall remain in
force for a period of one (1) year) (such three (3) month period, or with respect to Section 2.8(b)
only, such one (1) year period, shall be referred to as the “Term”), unless terminated
earlier pursuant to Section 3.2 below.

               (b) If Buyer requests to extend the Term, Seller may, in its sole discretion, agree to extend
this Agreement.

               (c) Buyer shall not have any obligation to continue to use any of the Services and may delete
any Service from Schedule A by giving Seller thirty (30) days notice thereof. In the event any
Service is terminated by Buyer, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect termination of such
Services.

          Section 3.2 Termination. (a) Termination Without Cause. The obligation of Seller to provide or cause to be provided
each Service to be provided hereunder shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:

               (i) the expiration of the Term;

               (ii) the expiration of the term (including any available renewal term) during
which such Service is to be provided as specified in Schedule A;

               (iii) the date thirty (30) days following written notice from Seller that
Seller is discontinuing permanently the provision of such Service to its own
internal organizations;

               (iv) the date thirty (30) days (or such longer period as is specified in
Schedule A) after Seller receives written notice that Buyer no longer

4

 

               (v) the date of termination pursuant to Section 3.2(b) or 3.2(c).

               (b) Termination For Cause. Subject to Section 5.1, if either party shall fail to perform in
any material respect any of its material obligations under this Agreement (other than a payment
default) (the “Defaulting Party”), the other party entitled to the benefit of such
performance (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give thirty (30) days’ written notice to the
Defaulting Party specifying the nature of such failure or default and stating that the
Non-Defaulting Party intends to terminate this Agreement, either in its entirety or partially as
set forth in Section 3.2(c), if such failure or default is not cured within thirty (30) days of
such written notice. If any failure or default so specified is not cured within such 30-day
period, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement as set forth in
this Section 3.2(b) or Section 3.2(c); provided, however, that if the failure or
default relates to a dispute contested in good faith by the Defaulting Party, the Non-Defaulting
Party may not terminate this Agreement pending the resolution of such dispute in accordance with
Section 7.7. Such termination shall be effective upon the giving of a written notice of
termination by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party and shall be without prejudice to
any other remedy which may be available to the Non-Defaulting Party against the Defaulting Party.

               (c) Partial Termination. In the event that the Non-Defaulting Party is entitled to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2(b), the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the following
options to partially terminate this Agreement upon the same notice provisions as specified in
Section 3.2(b):

               (i) if the default relates to the payment for a Service, Seller may terminate
this Agreement as to the provision of that Service to Buyer, but continue this
Agreement in all other respects; or

               (ii) if the default relates to the provision of a Service, Buyer may terminate
this Agreement as to the provision of that Service by Seller, but continue this
Agreement in all other respects.

          Section 3.3 Effect Of Termination. (a) Buyer specifically agrees and acknowledges that all obligations of Seller to provide each
Service for which Seller is responsible hereunder shall immediately cease upon the termination
of this Agreement. Upon the cessation of Seller’s obligation to provide any Service, Buyer shall
immediately cease using, directly or indirectly, such Service (including any and all software of
Seller or third party software provided through Seller, telecommunications services or equipment,
or computer systems or equipment).

               (b) Upon termination of a Service with respect to which Seller holds books, records or files,
including current or archived copies of computer files, owned by Buyer and used by Seller in
connection with the provision of a Service to Buyer, Seller will return all such books, records or
files as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that Seller may make a
copy, at its expense, of such books, records or files for archival purposes only.

5

 

               (c) Without prejudice to the survival of the other agreements of the parties, the following
obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement: (i) the obligations of each party
under Section 3.3, Section 7.16 and Article VI and (ii) Seller’s right to receive the Service
Charges for the Services provided by it hereunder pursuant to Section 4.1 incurred prior to the
effective date of termination.

ARTICLE IV

COMPENSATION

          Section 4.1 Service Charge. (a) Except for any third party costs relating to item 5 of Schedule A hereto (which shall be
Buyer’s responsibility), Seller acknowledges that consideration for its provision of the Services
for the first three (3) months of the Term pursuant to this Agreement have been made under the
Purchase Agreement and hereby represents that such consideration is good and sufficient
consideration and waives any right to claim from the Buyer additional consideration except as may
be payable in relation to services provided by Seller in addition to the Services.

               (b) In the event the term of this Agreement is extended pursuant to Section 3.1(b), Seller
shall provide the Services to Buyer at Seller’s cost to so provide, plus an amount to be mutually
agreed upon by the parties.

          Section 4.2 Invoicing And Payments. (a) Invoices. If the Term is extended pursuant to Section 3.1(b), after the end of each month,
Seller, together with its Affiliates and/or Subsidiaries providing Services, will submit one
invoice to Buyer for all Services provided to Buyer and Buyer’s Subsidiaries by Seller during such
month. Such monthly invoices shall be issued when Seller issues its invoices in the ordinary
course of its business. Each invoice shall include a summary list of the previously agreed upon
Services for which there are fixed dollar fees, together with documentation supporting each of the
invoiced amounts that are not covered by the fixed fee agreements. The total amount set forth on
such summary list and such supporting detail shall equal the invoice total, and shall be provided
under separate cover apart from the invoice. All invoices shall be sent to the attention of Buyer
at the address set forth in Section 7.1 or to such other address as Buyer shall have specified by
notice in writing to Seller.

               (b) Payment. If the Term is extended pursuant to Section 3.1(b), payment of all invoices in
respect of the Services shall be made by check or electronic funds transmission in U.S. Dollars,
without any offset or deduction of any nature whatsoever, within thirty (30) days of the invoice
date. Invoices unpaid as of such date shall accrue interest at an annual rate of the lower of (i)
two (2) percentage points higher that the rate equal to the NAT’L AVG of the “Money market ann.
Yield” as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of each applicable month
or (ii) the highest possible rate allowed by applicable law and the number of days elapsed since
the date the invoice became due. All payments shall be made to the account designated by Seller to
Buyer, with written confirmation of payment sent by facsimile to Seller or other Person designated
thereby. If any payment is not paid when due, Seller shall have the right, without any liability
to Buyer, or anyone claiming by or through Buyer, upon thirty (30) days’ notice, to cease providing
any or all of the Services provided by Seller to Buyer, which right may be exercised by Seller in
its sole and absolute discretion.

6

 

          Section 4.3 Taxes. To the extent not included directly in the price Seller charges for Services, Buyer shall pay to
Seller the amount of any taxes or charges set forth in clauses (a) through (c) below that are
imposed now or in the future by any Governmental Authority, including any increase in any such tax
or charge imposed on Seller after the Closing Date and during the Term of this Agreement:

               (a) Any applicable sales, use, gross receipts, value added or similar tax that is imposed as a
result of, or measured by, any Service rendered hereunder unless covered by an exemption
certificate;

               (b) Any applicable real or personal property taxes, including any special assessments, and any
impositions imposed on Seller in lieu of or in substitution for such taxes on any property used in
connection with any Service rendered hereunder; and

               (c) Any other governmental taxes, duties and/or charges of any kind, excluding any imposed on
Seller that are determined by reference to net income, which Seller is required to pay with respect
to any Service rendered hereunder.

          Section 4.4 Disputed Amounts. In the event Buyer disputes the accuracy of any invoice, Buyer shall pay the undisputed portion
of such invoice and the parties hereto shall promptly meet and seek to resolve the disputed amount
of the invoice. If Buyer fails to pay any undisputed amount owed under this Agreement, Buyer shall
correct such failure promptly following notice of the failure, and shall pay Seller interest on the
amount paid late at an annual interest rate equal to the lower of (i) two percentage points higher
than the rate equal to the NAT’L AVG of the “Money market ann. yield” as published in the Wall
Street Journal on the first business day of each applicable month or (ii) the highest possible rate
allowed by applicable law and the number of days since the date the invoice became due.

ARTICLE V

FORCE MAJEURE

          Section 5.1 Event of Force Majeure. Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any interruption of Service or delay or failure to
perform under this Agreement when such interruption, delay or failure results from causes beyond
its reasonable control including, but not limited to: (a) acts of God, the elements, epidemics,
explosions, accidents, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms (including but not limited
to tornadoes and hurricanes or tornado and hurricane warnings), sinkholes, floods, or washouts; (b)
labor shortage or trouble including strikes or injunctions; (c) inability to obtain material,
equipment or transportation; or (d) national defense requirements, war, blockades, insurrections,
sabotage, riots, arrests and restraints of the government, either federal or state, civil or
military (including any governmental taking by eminent domain or otherwise); or (e) any applicable
law, regulation or rule or the enforcement thereof by any governmental or regulatory agency having
jurisdiction, that substantially limits or that prevents Seller from performing its obligations
hereunder. In such event, the obligations hereunder of Seller in providing any Service, and the
obligation of Buyer to pay for any such Service, shall be postponed for such time as its
performance is suspended or delayed on account

7

 

thereof. Upon learning of the occurrence of such
event of force majeure, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer, either orally or in writing.

          Section 5.2 Reasonable Efforts. In the event of any failure, interruption or delay in performance of the Services, whether
excused or unexcused, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to restore the Services as soon
as may be reasonably possible in accordance with its existing contingency plans for such services.

ARTICLE VI

LIABILITIES

          Section 6.1 Consequential and Other Damages. Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders,
partners, representatives, consultants and agents (the “Seller Parties”) shall not be
liable to Buyer or its Affiliates, or their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners,
representatives, consultants or agents (the “Buyer Parties”), whether in contract, tort
(including negligence and strict liability), or otherwise, for any special, indirect, incidental or
consequential damages whatsoever, which in any way arise out of, relate to, or are a consequence
of, Seller’s performance or nonperformance hereunder, or the provision of or failure to provide any
Service.

          Section 6.2 Limitation of Liability. Seller shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities, damages, loses, costs, expenses
(including settlements, judgments, court costs, and regardless of whether legal proceedings are
instituted, reasonable attorneys’ fees), fines or penalties (“Losses”), which in any way
arise out of, relate to, or are a consequence of, Seller’s performance or nonperformance hereunder,
or the provision of
or failure to provide any Service, except if due to the wilful breach of this Agreement, gross
negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud by Seller or the Seller Parties. In the absence
of wilful breach of this Agreement, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud by Seller or the Seller
Parties, in the event Seller commits an error with respect to or incorrectly performs or fails to
perform any Service, at Buyer ‘s request, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
correct such error or re-perform or perform such Service at no additional cost to Buyer;
provided, that Seller shall have no obligation to recreate any lost or destroyed data to
the extent the same cannot be cured by the re-performance of the Service in question.

          Section 6.3 Indemnification. (a) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties from and against any Losses that
any of the Seller Parties may sustain or incur by reason of any actual or threatened claim, demand,
suit or recovery by any person or entity arising or allegedly arising in connection with this
Agreement, unless such Loss arose out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or
fraud by the Seller Parties.

               (b) Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer
Parties from and against any Losses that any of the Buyer Parties may sustain or incur by reason of
any actual or threatened claim, demand, suit or recovery by any person or entity arising or
allegedly arising in connection with this Agreement during the initial three (3) month Term for
provision of Services, including, without limitation, any claim by a party alleging that the use by
Buyer or Buyer Parties of any intellectual property materials provided by

8

 

Seller in connection with
its provision of the Services materially infringes the rights of any third party.

(“Confidential Information”). A party receiving Confidential Information (the
“Receiving Party”) will not use such information for any purpose other than for which it
was disclosed and, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, shall not disclose to third
parties any Confidential Information for a period of five (5) years from the termination or
expiration of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall view, access and use only such
Confidential Information of the
disclosing party as is necessary to

12

 

provide or receive Services hereunder, as applicable, and shall
not attempt to view, access or use any other Confidential Information of the disclosing party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party’s obligation hereunder shall not apply to
information that:

               (i) is already in the Receiving Party’s possession at the time of disclosure
thereof;

               (ii) is or subsequently becomes part of the public domain through no action of

               (iii) is subsequently received by the Receiving Party from a third party which

Information.

               (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.16(a), Confidential Information may be disclosed by the
Receiving Party:

               (i) to the Receiving Party’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents
(including, in the case of the Service Provider, any third parties engaged to
provide the Services), auditors, consultants and financial advisers (collectively,
“Agents”); provided that the Receiving Party ensures that such
Agents comply with this Section 17; and

               (ii) as required by Applicable Law; provided that, if permitted by law,
written notice of such requirement shall be given promptly to the other party so
that it may take reasonable actions to avoid and minimize the extent of such
disclosure, and the Receiving Party shall cooperate with the other party as
reasonably requested by the other party in connection with such actions.

               (c) If, at any time, any party determines that another party has disclosed, or sought to
disclose, Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, that any unauthorized personnel
of another party has accessed Confidential Information, or that any other party or any of its
personnel has engaged in activities that may lead or leads to the unauthorized access to, use of,
or disclosure of such party’s Confidential Information, such party shall immediately terminate any
such personnel’s access to the Confidential Information and immediately notify such other party.
In addition, any party shall have the right to deny personnel of any other party access to such
party’s Confidential Information upon notice to such other party in the event that such party
reasonably believes that such personnel pose a security concern. Each party will cooperate with
the other parties in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to or use of such party’s
Confidential Information.

	 	The loan tenor will be 11 (eleven) years from the date of TAQA’s final disbursement to JLEC and may additionally include TAQA lending through an affiliate resident in Sweden. JLEC shall not be liable for any withholding or similar tax associated with payments under the TAQA refinancing loan save to the extent that assessments would also have been made in respect of the existing financing.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	By mutual agreement of JLEC and TAQA, for administrative simplification Tranches A, B, and C may be consolidated into one U.S. Dollar-denominated loan, and Tranches D, E, and F may be consolidated into one Euro-denominated loan.
	 
	 	 
	Tenor and Repayment Schedule:

	 	The loan tenor will be extended to a final maturity of 11 (eleven) years from the date of TAQA’s final disbursement to JLEC. 

Debt service for each Tranche A to F will be calculated based on mortgage style equal quarterly debt service payments with final maturity of 11 years (as specified above) and interest rates specified below for the respective tranches.
	 
	 	 
	Interest:

	 	The following fixed all-in interest rate will be applicable for each of the tranches:

2

 

	 	 	 
	Fees

	 	No upfront or commitment fees.
	 
	 	 
	Terms and conditions:

	 	To be substantially equivalent to the common terms and conditions applying to JLEC’s existing senior debt, as relevant, including, without limitation, in respect of financial covenants and project accounts.

However, terms specific to the requirements of any particular lender, financial participant, guarantor, or export credit agency will not be required, including in relation to national ownership or participation requirements.
	 
	 	 
	Security:

	 	To follow the security interests granted in respect of JLEC’s existing senior debt financing, with relevant security documents agreed and signed but not effective and security not perfected until the existing security has been released.
	 
	 	 
	Due diligence:

	 	TAQA has already substantially completed its due diligence on the Jorf Lasfar Project in connection with its potential indirect purchase of CMS’ 50% interest in JLEC. Accordingly, only limited due diligence by TAQA as a lender to JLEC will be required in relation to matters such as withholding tax and the tax effects to JLEC of providing the finance through a related party loan.
	 
	 	 
	Timing:

	 	If applicable pursuant to the Tri-Party Agreement, refinancing to be effected on May 15, 2007 (or, if such day is not a Business Day as defined in the Common Agreement, on the preceding Business Day in accordance with the Common Agreement) (such date, the “Refinancing Date”).
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Refinancing agreements to be agreed as soon as practically possible to allow to complete all of the following within the time periods specified:
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	(i)   conditions precedent being satisfied by no later than the day preceding the Prepayment Notice Date (as defined below) on the basis that TAQA shall have an unconditional obligation to lend following its notification to JLEC that such conditions precedent have been satisfied;

	 	(iii) submission by JLEC of the prepayment notice by no later than April 13, 2007 (or, if such day is not a Business Day as defined in the Common Agreement, on the preceding Business Day in accordance with the Common Agreement) (such date, the “Prepayment Notice Date”);

	 
	 	 
	 

	 	(iv) prefunding of the prepayment of the OPIC loan from the amounts funded under (ii) not less than 20 (twenty) days prior to the Refinancing Date; and

	 
	 	 
	 

	 	(v)   financial close occurring on the Refinancing Date. 

	 
	 	 
	Optional Prepayment:

	 	JLEC will be permitted to prepay the refinancing loan from TAQA at any time without any provision for breakage costs, prepayment premium, penalties, or other fees or cost for early repayments/prepayments.

3

 

	 	 	 
	Mandatory Prepayment

	 	In addition to the mandatory prepayment obligations included in the existing financing agreements, if (i) the JLEC refinancing achieves final financial close, (ii) the Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) between TAQA and CMS Enterprises is subsequently terminated, and (iii) JLEC has not refinanced the refinancing debt provided by TAQA to JLEC within 12 (twelve) months from the termination of the SPA, then 100% of
JLEC’s otherwise distributable cash shall be applied toward the accelerated repayment of the refinancing debt provided by TAQA until repaid in full.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Upon such termination of the SPA, (i) if TAQA or any of its affiliates hold directly or indirectly any ownership interest in JLEC, JLEC shall use its reasonable best efforts to refinance the debt provided by TAQA to JLEC within 24 (twenty four) months from the termination of the SPA, or (ii) if TAQA or any of its affiliates do not hold directly or indirectly any ownership interest in JLEC, JLEC shall refinance the debt provided by TAQA to JLEC
within 24 (twenty four) months from the termination of the SPA.
	 
	 	 
	Mutual Agreement

	 	The implementation of the JLEC refinancing contemplated by the terms outlined above is subject in all respects to agreement on definitive terms and documentation that are mutually acceptable to TAQA, CMS, ABB, and JLEC.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Seller and
Acquiror, intending to be bound legally, agree as follows:

     Section 1. Definitions. For purposes hereof, capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement, unless the context hereof shall otherwise require, and the same rules of construction as

employees, agents, counsel, consultants, representatives, accountants and auditors.

     Section 2. Control of Settlements and Disputes; Further Cooperation.

          (a) From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall retain complete control over and shall have
the sole and absolute right to conduct and control all negotiations and activities with respect to
the Proceedings and all other aspects of investigation, prosecution and/or defense of the
Proceedings. Such control shall include without limitation (i) preparing and filing all pleadings,
motions and other documents filed with or provided to any court or other tribunal, (ii) preparing

with the Proceedings, (iii) preparing, responding to and serving all discovery and discovery
responses (and related matters), (iv) negotiating and, subject to Section 2(b) hereof, entering

Projects) with any party in connection with the Proceedings and making all decisions with respect
to the defense of the Proceedings, (v) selecting legal counsel, experts, accountants and other
advisors or representatives to represent Acquiror, Generation or the Projects and/or to assist

          (b) To the extent that any settlement or compromise agreement entered into with respect to the
Proceedings would require Acquiror, Generation or the Projects to provide any consideration,
monetary or non-monetary, for which the indemnity contained in Section 8.2 of the Purchase
Agreement does not apply (or only applies in part), then such settlement or compromise shall
require the approval of Acquiror, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (c) Subject to paragraph (b) above, Acquiror, Generation or the Projects shall cause
appropriate officers, duly authorized to act on behalf of Acquiror, Generation or the Projects, to
execute (at Seller’s cost) any documents and instruments necessary or appropriate in connection

     Section 4. Access to Claims Data. In connection with the defense, prosecution or
settlement of the Proceedings, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Acquiror Representatives to,
reasonably cooperate with and give Seller or the Seller Representatives access to all Claims Data
during regular business hours, and upon five (5) days prior written notice, at Acquiror’s principal
place of business or at any location where such Claims Data is located, and Seller shall have the
right, at its own expense, to make copies of such Claims Data. Acquiror shall make available to
Seller or the Seller Representatives, upon written request and at Seller’s expense, Acquiror’s
personnel to provide reasonable assistance (provided such assistance shall not materially affect
the normal operations of Acquiror or the Business) to Seller or the Seller Representatives in
locating and obtaining any Claims Data maintained by Acquiror.

     Section 5. Cooperation in Litigation. Acquiror shall (a) make available to Seller or
the Seller Representatives (provided such assistance shall not materially affect the normal
operations of Acquiror or the Business), upon five (5) days written request, any relevant employee
of Acquiror from time to time necessary to authenticate the Claims Data, or any Transferred
Employee who continues to be employed by Acquiror whose assistance or participation is reasonably
required by Seller or the Seller Representatives in anticipation of, or in the investigation of or
preparation for the defense or settlement of the Proceeding; provided that no employee or agent of
the Seller or one of its Affiliates can reasonably provide the assistance requested from the
employee of Acquiror or the Transferred Employee, and (b) provide reasonable assistance to Seller
in locating any Transferred Employee who is no longer employed by Acquiror whose assistance or

3

 

settlement of the Proceedings. Seller shall pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses
arising from such assistance or participation by such employee of Acquiror or Transferred
Employees. Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to minimize the interference with such
employee of Acquiror or Transferred Employee’s duties caused by such assistance or participation.

     Section 6. Insurance. Acquiror hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Seller all
rights, benefits and causes in action under all insurance policies (the “Insurance Policies”)
maintained by or for the benefit of Generation or any Project to the extent such Insurance Policies
obligate (or potentially obligate) the insurers to defend or indemnify any insureds therein in
connection with, arising from or related to the Proceedings. Acquiror agrees that Seller may
pursue any claims and make any demands to any insurer under the Insurance Policies in the name of
Acquiror to receive and enjoy the full benefits of this provision to the fullest extent permitted
by law. Acquiror further agrees to immediately deliver to Seller all proceeds, payments or
benefits received from any insurer under the Insurance Policies to the extent such proceeds,
payments or benefits are made in connection with, arising from or relating to the Proceedings.

     Section 7. Indemnification. In the event Acquiror fails to perform or comply with
any of its covenants and obligations described in hereunder, Seller shall promptly provide Acquiror
with written notice of the assertion of such non-performance or non-compliance, such notice shall
be given in accordance with Section 9.6 of the Purchase Agreement and shall specify, in reasonable
detail, the nature of such breach. Subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, the provisions of
Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to the indemnification for breach of this
Agreement by the Acquiror, and by this reference such provisions of Article VIII of the Purchase
Agreement are incorporated herein as if set forth in full herein. The obligation of Seller to
indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement shall not
apply to the extent such Damages are attributable to Acquiror’s failure to comply with this
Agreement. The remedies available to Seller under this Section 7 are in addition to those
available to it under Section 8.

     Section 8. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage
will occur if any of Acquiror’s covenants under this Agreement is not performed in accordance with
its specific terms or otherwise is breached, and that Seller may not have an adequate remedy at law
in respect of such non-performance or breach. It is accordingly agreed that Seller shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent any non-performance or breach of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or
any state having jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or
in equity. In addition, Acquiror agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific
performance of Acquiror’s covenants under this Agreement.

     Section 9. Survival; Modification, Termination and Waiver. This Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (a) the written consent of the parties hereto
to terminate this Agreement, or (b) 30 days after termination of the Proceedings by a binding
settlement or a final court order, not subject to appeal or review. This Agreement may be amended,
supplemented or modified, and any provision hereof may be waived, only pursuant to a written
instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the parties hereto.

4

 

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a
waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar). No delay on the part of Seller in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

     Section 10. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall
be in writing, shall refer to this Agreement, and shall otherwise be given in accordance with
Section 9.6 of the Purchase Agreement.

     Section 11. Governing Law. This Agreement, including all maters of construction,
validity and performance, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the

make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of New York applicable hereto.

     Section 12. Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No
assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party (by
operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which
consent may be withheld or granted by such party in its sole discretion, provided that such consent
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Seller if Acquiror complies with the provision of
the last sentence of this Section 12. Any attempted assignment without required consents shall be
void. In the event Acquiror proposes to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the
Business at any time subsequent to the date hereof, Acquiror shall provide Seller notice of such
sale as soon as reasonably practicable, whereupon Seller shall have the right, at its option and
expense, upon written notice to Acquiror, to make copies of any Claims Data (whether prior to or
following such sale) for a reasonable period of time following receipt of such notice. Acquiror
will cause such purchaser to assume Acquiror’s obligations under this Agreement utilizing a written
instrument reasonably satisfactory to Seller.

     Section 13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable under any applicable present or future law, and if the rights or
obligations of either party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected
thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof,
(c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not
be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d)
in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as
a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

     Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more
counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

     Section 15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Purchase Agreement, the
Seller Disclosure Letter, Buyer Disclosure Letter, and Schedules thereto, together with the other

5

 

Related Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede all previous agreements,

Section 3.9 Litigation

1. Jubail Co-Generation Plant — Warranty Claim: During a planned plant outage in April, 2006, the
gas turbine blades and vanes were found to have thick layers of contamination. The project duiy
submitted warranty notices under the EPC Contract with Siemens to complete the repairs and/or
replacements necessary to remedy the contamination. Siemens rejected the notices, claiming that the
contamination was the result of improper maintenance and operation. The necessary repairs and
replacements were completed during an unscheduled outage under a change order that fully reserved
the parties’ rights. The costs associated with the repairs and work, including the revenue loss
associated with the outage, totaled approximately S19,000,000. The project has reached a settlement
in principle with Siemens that would confer a benefit of $4,756,665 to the project. Siemens may,
however, be attempting to renegotiate certain terms of the settlement. The project has also
submitted an insurance claim relating to the contamination, which remains pending.

2. Jubail -Warranty Claim on Unit #12 FG Compressor: For a more detailed description of this
matter, see the item 2 of Section 3.15(d).

Section 3.11
Labor Relations

1. Takoradi: The employees at Takoradi have recently voted to join the Industrial and Commercial
Union, The union will represent roughly 40 of the 64 employees currently working at the plant. A
collective bargaining agreement dated January 1, 2007 was entered into between Takoradi and the
union.

2. Neyveli’. Within the last 12 months there have been efforts to unionize employees. The
Industrial Workers consist of 20 unskilled employees. In the past, they have expressed possible
interest in joining a labor union. In the event of a successful unionization of these employees,
there would be no effect on the operations of the plant as these particular employees are not
involved in plant operations.

3. Jorf: The majority of Jorfs employees are unionized. A Moroccan Statute for Personnel is in
effect providing worker rights, compensation, benefits, and other matters relating to Jorfs
unionized employees. In addition, there are agreements that supplement core benefits accorded to
such employees under this applicable Moroccan Statute. Non-union employees are covered under the
Moroccan Labor Code. This Labor Code, which also applies to the unionized employees, provides
workers rights under this Moroccan Law,

Section 3.13
Environmental Matters

Neyveli:

1. The Neyveli plant received two separate notices from environmental authorities regarding
fugitive dust, and has responded to those notices.

Takoradi:

1. The Takoradi facility shares space on the site of the VRA’s Takoradi Tl plant.
VRA has responsibility for treatment of oily water and discharge of clean water to a surface drain
which outfalls to an adjacent wetland. There have been several events of oily water discharges
reaching the wetlands.

2. VRA has disposed of contaminated materials from the Tl plant in a waste pit located
between the plant site and the ocean shore, reportedly with the verbal approval of the Ghana EPA. A
limited amount of similar material from Takoradi has apparently also been deposited in this
location.

Taweeiah A2:

1. In late 2004, the Taweeiah A2 facility experienced an accidental release of approximately
1250 gallons of oil onto the ground. Spilled oil did not reach groundwater or surface water.
Contaminated soil was removed and bioremcdiated.

Other:

I. Sec matters identified in Section 3,8 and Section 3.9.

Section 3.14(a)
Tax Matters

Jorf:

1. The 2005 Dutch Tax Return for CMS Generation Netherlands, B.V. has been extended until
April 1, 2007.

2. No Luxembourg Tax Returns have been filed for CMS Generation Luxembourg S.A.R.L. for the
years from 2001 through 2005.

3. The 2003 UK. Tax Return for CMS Generation UK Operating Company was filed late and a
penalty in excess of $10,000 could be incurred depending upon the amount of tax ultimately
determined to be due.

Takoradi:

1. A corporate tax audit for the years 2000-2004 was settled earlier this year with Takoradi
making the payments proposed in the Ghanaian government’s October 24, 2005 tax audit report, a copy
of which has been delivered as part of the due diligence.

Section 3.14(b)
Tax Matters

Takoradi:

1. Takoradi has provided certain local employees with accommodations but failed to tax those
benefits (as rent element) in the hands of the employees. Exposure is estimated at roughly $50,000.

2. Takoradi makes payments to CMS Resources relating to employment costs for seconded staff. CMS
Resources invoices Takoradi at cost plus a 10% administration fee. For a period of time, Takoradi
was not withholding on the 10% mark-up, but probably should have been withholding at a 20% rate.

3. Takoradi failed to withhold on GE invoices from January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005 relating
to the offshore work under the Long Term Services Agreement. (Under withholding for earlier periods
was resolved as part of the audit referenced in Item 1 in Section 3.14(a) above.) The tax liability
for 2005 is estimated at roughly $100,000.

Issue

Sales factor treatment of sale of power purchase agreement. Resolution will not affect separate
company liability.
Use of business loss carryforwards in consolidation. Resolution will not affect the separate
company liability.

Takoradi:

1. Takoradi wrote to the Ghanaian VAT Service on 29 November 2005 requesting a determination
of the VAT status of Takoradi’s PPA invoices to the VRA. Several meetings have been held since that
time variously amongst the VRA, Takoradi, the VAT Service, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC — tax
advisors to Takoradi) and the Ministry of Finance to progress this issue. A resolution is still
pending; however, based on these meetings CMS is of the view that there arc three potential
alternative rulings from the VAT Service. These are that Takoradi’s supplies to the VRA should be
either: (i) zero rated (thus no VAT payable); or (ii) normally rated at 15% VAT but that the VRA
may provide “VAT Relief Purchase Orders” to Takoradi in lieu of payment which Takoradi then submits
to the VAT Service along with the VAT return; or (iii) normally rated at 15% with a special
arrangement (either directed from the VAT Service or to be agreed directly with the Ministry of
Finance) to resolve the status of past invoices. There is the theoretical, though highly unlikely,
possibility that Takoradi could be required to turn over to the government 15% VAT on all
invoicings to date, but not be able to recover all such amounts from the VRA. This is held to be
highly unlikely as it is believed that Takoradi was not in breach of the law in not invoicing for
VAT pending a determination on the VAT status of Takoradi’s invoices based on meetings and
correspondence with the VAT Service in early 2001. There is a strong possibility that the final
determination from the VAT Service will allow Takoradi to recover input VAT going forward (worth
roughly USD300k per year)

35

 

as well as the possibility that Takoradi could recover past input VAT going back three years.

2. Takoradi entered into a binding letter of intent with a non-Ghanaian affiliate of General
Electric for the supply of parts and services in connection with the gas conversion project. While
it is anticipated that this letter of intent will be replaced by a more detailed contract, parts
were provided and paid for during 2006 under the letter of intent. Based on advice from its and
General Electric’s tax advisors, Takoradi requested a ruling from the Ghanaian tax authority that
such nonresident activities would not be subject to 20% nonresident withholding. The tax authority
disagreed, however, and asserted that 20% withholding is required, although based upon past
practices by the taxing authority it is anticipated that 20% of the invoices will be exempted from
withholding as attributable to the actual cost of parts. If withholding is required, payment to the
General Electric affiliate must be grossed-up. Assuming in accordance with past practices that the
tax authority exempts 20% of the invoices as attributable to the actual cost of parts, the
withholding obligation will be approximately $550,000. Takoradi is continuing discussions with the
tax authority regarding its ruling, (n addition, Takoradi has notified the VRA that it would expect
the VRA to be responsible for any increased costs as a result of the withholding as VRA has already
agreed to reimburse Takoradi for the other costs of the gas conversion.

Neyveli:

1. Service Tax of approximately Rs 60 million ($1,300,000) exclusive of penalties and interest has
been assessed against the CMS (India) O&M Company by the Indian government. Seller has been advised
that there is a strong
case against the applicability of such tax. However, under the terms of the Operations and
Maintenance Agreement between Neyveli and the O&M Company, the liability would be passed through to
Neyveli if such tax is determined to be due.

2. Regarding CMS (India) Operations and Maintenance Company, the Indian tax authorities have raised
an income tax issue on audit for the assessment years ended March 31, 2003. 2004, and 2005. The
amounts involved are approximately $116,000, $101,000, and $260,000, respectively. The issue
involves the lack of payment of withholding tax on reimbursement of expatriate costs from CMS
(India) Operations and Maintenance Company to CMS Resource Development Company and a resultant
increase in income tax. The tax for the March 31, 2004 assessment year has been paid and the issue
appealed to the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) who has ruled in favor of CMS. Indications
are, however, that the Indian tax authorities will continue to appeal the issue. At some point, the
issue could be raised with respect to the March 31, 2006 and 2007 assessment years as well.

Jorf:

36

 

1. The United Kingdom government is asserting that interest income should be imputed with
respect to certain dividends declared by Jorf Lasfar Aktiebolag (Sweden) for the time period
between when such dividends were declared and paid to the United Kingdom. Maximum exposure is
estimated at $500,000. Seller has been advised that most of such imputation is improper under
European Union inter-country tax rules; however, CMS has offered to settle the issue for much
lesser amount [e.g., $80,000] in order to avoid litigation costs.

Section 3.15(d)

Insurance

1. A preliminary claim submission was sent by Jubail to insurers advising them of the costs to
repair and subsequent business interruption loss from a turbine fouling accident in April, 2006.
The insurers have partially investigated the incident and prepared preliminary loss reports. At
this time no coverage determination has been provided by the insurer to Jubail. Total expenses for
the draft claim are $13,247,210 net after deductible for property damage and $1,335,437 net after
deductible for business interruption.

2. A notice of loss and potential insurance claim was mailed to insurers on January 17, 2007 for
damage to the Unit U12 Fuel Gas Compressor impeller blades and cooling tubes. The estimated gross
business interruption loss referred to in the notice is $700,000 for the seven month estimated time
to replace the compressor impeller subject to a sixty day deductible. A warranty claim was denied
by Siemens and the supplier for the repair of the compressor impeller and the cooling tubes. The
estimated cost to repair the compressor impeller is $144,728 plus additional installation and
shipping. That claim for physical damage loss will likely not exceed the $1,000,000 insurance
policy deductible.

Section 3.18(a)
Absence of Certain Changes

1. Neyveli. There is an ongoing dispute between Neyveli and TNEB regarding the capital costs to be
reflected in the tariff paid by TNEB to Neyveli. Neyveli filed a petition with the Madras High
Court in India in May, 2006 seeking injunctive relief to prevent TNEB from reducing its tariff
payments until the dispute is resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions in the power
purchase agreement, which provides for arbitration in London under the Rules of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce. Neyveli filed a Request for Arbitration under the (English)
Arbitration Act, 1996 in relation to this matter before the ICC Court of Arbitration, ICC, Paris on
November 6, 2006. TNEB has taken the position that under the Power Purchase Agreement and Indian
law the actual capital costs are to be determined by the Tamil Nadu Electricity regulatory
Commission and has submitted to ICC that ICC did not have the jurisdiction to take up arbitration
proceedings. TNEB also filed an application in the Queens Court in London on 20 December 2006
seeking a stay on the ICC arbitration.

2. Neyveli: Neyveli has filed a petition with the Railway Rates Tribunal (RRT) against its decision
to increase the chargeable weight from 48.5 tonnes to 58.5 tonnes and subsequently to 60 tonnes.
Final arguments are taking place and it is expected that it would take another six months for the
completion of the case and for RRT to pass orders. Should Neyveli prevail, it will lead to
reduction of freight charges and consequent benefit to TNEB.

3. Neyveli: Neyveli Lignite Company has claimed electricity consumption tax for the years 2003-04
(Rs.8.4 mn of which Rs.7.1 mn was paid by Neyveli under protest) and for 2004-05 (Rs.3,8 mn). These
claims have been disputed by Neyveli, and arbitration is in progress. Neyveli has informed TNEB
that it is disputing this levy, but that if the outcome of the dispute resolution process is
adverse, then the levy will be passed through to TNEB.

4. Jorf: A Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania to enforce the arbitration award against AMCI Export Coiporation. Two of the
defendant’s bank accounts in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and two of the defendant’s bank accounts in
New York, New York have been attached, although no
funds were present in the first two, with information on the second two due shortly. A related
Complaint was filed in the United Slates District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on
Friday, October 13, 2006, on behalf of Jorf against Xcoal Energy & Resources, Xcoal Energy &
Resources LLC, American Metals & Coal International, Inc., K-M Investment Corporation, Ernie
Thrasher, Hans J. Mendc, and Fritz R, Kundrun for damages in the amount of approximately $7,900,000
for claims arising out of AMCI Export Corporation’s breach of the Coal Supply Agreement dated
October 4, 2004

46

 

between Jorf and AMCI Export Corporation. This action relates largely to the believed looting of
the assets of AMCI Export Corporation by these defendants and is presently in the discovery phase
with all of the defendants having filed answers to the Complaint and none having moved for
dismissal, in a related matter, a Complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial
District in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida on November 16, 2006 on behalf of Jorf against Ernie
Thrasher for judgment in the amount of 53,300,000 and an equitable lien in this amount on property
Jorf alleges Thrasher purchased with funds fraudulently transferred from AMCI Export Corporation.
Jorf is currently responding to motions to strike certain allegations (although Thrasher’s answer
to the Complaint did not attempt to dismiss any claim in full), following which the discovery phase
will commence.

5. In connection with the Reorganization, Generation transferred the following promissory notes to
Seller pursuant to an Assignment dated February 2, 2007:

a) Promissory Note dated December 13, 1995 in the principal amount of $1,325,000 given by Genesee
Power Station Limited Partnership (“GFSLP”);

b) Promissory Note dated December 31,1995 in the principal amount of $846,000 given by GPSLP.

6. See matters identified in Section 3.9 and Section 3.13.

7. Sec matters identified in Section 5.1(a) and (b).

Section 3.18(b)

Absence of Certain Changes

1. Sec matters identified in Section 3.6(a), Section 3.6(b), Section 3.6(c), Section 3.7, Section
3.9 and Section 3.13.

2. The Government of Ghana and VRA have indicated to Generation that they are focusing the
country’s near term efforts on procuring short term power solutions as a priority matter. The
Government has conveyed its continued interest in completing the Takoradi expansion and intention
of pursuing the project expeditiously as part of Ghana’s long term power plan following the
resolution of the country’s short term capacity needs.

3. In 2006, as a result of a change in international accounting applicable to Saudi Arabia, the
Jubail power purchase agreement must be shown for accounting purposes as a financial lease.
Although not certain, there is a good possibility that such financial lease accounting will have to
be followed for Saudi tax purposes resulting in an elimination of fixed assets for tax purposes and
therefore a higher annual Zakat liability. The proposed tax treatment for 2006 is still being
studied. If financial lease accounting is followed, Generation estimates its annual share of Zakat
for Jubail at between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 annually.

4. At the request of the Moroccan Government, officials of the Moroccan Government and the Swedish
Ministry of Finance have met to discuss possible changes to the tax treaty between Morocco and
Sweden.

5. Shuweihat was recently informed by the Siemens that certain inspections needed to be carried out
to determine if a product enhancement/modernization was required for the Siemens provided
generators. During the normal winter outage cycles, now in progress, the requested inspections were
carried out on three different generators, and it
appears the enhancement/ modernization is in fact required on these three machines. As Shuweihat’s
allowed outage season is nearly at an end, Shuweihat initially assumed the enhancement/
modernization work could be carried during the next scheduled outage cycle and that the other
generators could be inspected during that period as well. Siemens is now saying the
enhancement/modernization is more critical. If this work is required to be done before the next
outage cycle, it could impact Shuweihat’s availability thus adding extra costs above and beyond any
actual generator work. This issue is still unclear, and is being followed up by Shuweihat
management.

BIR for P2,052,000 (approximately 540,000). At last check, several months ago, the compromise
application was pending before the Management Committee of the BIR for review and final approval.
The application was referred to this committee after review by the Technical Working Group of the
Collection Enforcement Division of the BIR evaluated the application for compromise and, in the
words of the SGV letter, “found it meritorious”. SGV is speaking informally with members of the
Management Committee to help garner its support since a majority of the members are needed to
accept the proposal.

Indemnification

Takoradi:

1. Under the Takoradi International Company Shareholders Agreement, the shareholders failed to
cause additional shares of Class C Shares in Takoradi International Company to be issued as
required under the terms of the Shareholders Agreement as they made certain additional capital
contributions. Despite their failure to cause these issuances and the resulting recordation in the
share register of Takoradi International Company, the shareholders have caused Takoradi
International Company distributions and other economic benefits and liabilities to be allocated on
a basis other than their formally recorded shareholding percentages and substantially in accordance
with their
respective interests as if such additional shares had been issued and recorded as required under
the terms of the Shareholders Agreement. Both shareholders are now aware of this matter, and
corrective action has been initiated by the shareholders but has not been completed as of February
2, 2007. Seller’s indemnification obligations will be limited to any Damages suffered by the Buyer
Indemnified Parties during the Special Indemnity Period as a result of Takoradi International
Company failing to issue the number of shares to CMS Takoradi Investment Company II required to be
issued pursuant to the provisions of the Takoradi Shareholders Agreement or failure to make
distributions to CMS Takoradi Investment Company II on a basis consistent with such ownership
level.

2. The Takoradi plant is currently being operated without a permanent generating license from the
Ghanaian Energy Commission. A temporary license has been issued and is effective until 31 March
2007 pending issuance of the permanent generation license, the application for which is pending.
Seller’s indemnification obligations will be limited to any Damages suffered by the Buyer
Indemnified Parties during the Special Indemnity Period as a result of Takoradi being prohibited
from operating its facilities as a result of the Ghanaian Energy Commission failing to issue such
permanent generating license, and shall be subject to Buyer using its reasonable best efforts to
cause Takoradi to take all actions necessary to have such permanent generating license issued by
the Ghanaian Energy Commission as soon as reasonably practicable.

3. Pursuant to the Takoradi Power Purchase Agreement, the VRA granted to Takoradi the unrestricted
and exclusive access to, and quiet enjoyment of, the Site (as such term is defined in the Power
Purchase Agreement) for purposes of constructing the Takoradi project. In addition, both Takoradi
and the VRA agreed in the Power Purchase Agreement to endeavor to enter into a site lease for the
Site within 30 days after execution of the Power Purchase Agreement and on the commercial terms
specified in the Power Purchase Agreement, following which the contractual right of use to the Site
under the Power Purchase Agreement

59

 

would terminate. As of February 2, 2007, Takoradi and the VRA have not entered into a site lease. A
portion of the Takoradi project was also built outside of the boundaries of the Site described in
the Power Purchase Agreement. Takoradi and the VRA arc aware of the boundary discrepancy and
continue to engage in good faith discussions with regard to a site lease that would correct this
potential defect as well as satisfy the Power Purchase Agreement for a site lease to replace the
right of use grant in the Power Purchase Agreement, Seller’s indemnification obligations will be
limited to any Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties during the Special Indemnity
Period as a result of Takoradi being prohibited from operating its facilities as a result of its
failure to have an executed site lease or agreement or comparable contractual right to use of the
site on which the Takoradi was constructed and shall be subject to Buyer using its reasonable best
efforts to cause Takoradi to take all actions necessary to negotiate in good faith and enter into
such site lease or agreement or contractual right as soon as reasonably practicable.

Neyveli:

1, There is an ongoing dispute between Neyveli and TNEB regarding the capital costs to be
reflected in the tariff paid by TNEB to Neyveli. Neyveli filed a petition with the Madras High
Court in India in May, 2006 seeking injunctive relief to prevent TNEB from reducing its tariff
payments until the dispute is resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions in the power
purchase agreement, which provides for arbitration in London under the Rules of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce. Neyveli, on November 6, 2006, filed a Request for Arbitration
under the (English) Arbitration Act of 1996 in relation to this matter before the ICC Court of
Arbitration. TNEB has taken the position that under the Power Purchase Agreement and Indian law the
actual capital costs are to be determined by the Tamil Nadu Electricity regulatory Commission and
has submitted to ICC that ICC did not have the jurisdiction to take up arbitration proceedings.
TNEB also filed an application in the Queens Court in London on 20 December 2006 seeking a stay on
the ICC arbitration. Seller’s indemnification obligations to the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be
limited to any Damages (limited to those Damages attributable to periods prior to the Closing Date)
that are awarded to TNEB as a result of such arbitration, or that are agreed to be paid to TNEB
pursuant to a settlement agreement in each case during the Special Indemnity Period, provided that
such settlement agreement is consented to by Seller, whose consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Buyer shall continue to pursue such arbitration in good faith.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

     Section 5.1 Consents and Approvals.

               (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
agrees to use, and will cause its Affiliates to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause
to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or advisable under
Applicable Law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as
promptly as practicable including the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and
notices required to be filed by such party in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the taking of such actions as are necessary to obtain any approvals, consents,
orders, exemptions or waivers of Governmental Authorities required to be obtained by such party in
order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall promptly
consult with the other with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to, and
provide copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Entity or any other
information supplied by such party to a
Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

               (b) If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement under any anti-competition Law or if any suit or
proceeding is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Entity or any private party challenging
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement as
violative of any

22

 

anti-competition Law, each of Seller and Buyer shall use its reasonable best
efforts to promptly resolve such objections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, none of Seller or any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to hold separate or
divest any property or assets of Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with any such claim
under anti-competition law. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, take all action, including agreeing to hold separate or to divest any of the
businesses or properties or assets of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Equity
Interests) and to terminate any existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations, as
may be required (i) by the applicable Governmental Entity in order to resolve such objections as
such Governmental Entity may have to such transactions under any anti-competition Law or (ii) by
any domestic or foreign court or other tribunal, in any action or proceeding brought by a private
party or Governmental Entity challenging such transactions as violative of any anti-competition
Law, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution, vacating, lifting, altering or
reversal of, any order that has the effect of restricting, preventing or prohibiting the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transition Services
Agreement. In addition, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, vigorously defend any
action or proceeding brought by a private party or Governmental Entity challenging the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the Transition Services Agreement as violative of any anti-competition
Law, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution, vacating, lifting, altering or
reversal of, any order that has the effect of restricting, preventing or prohibiting the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transition Services
Agreement (including by pursuing any available appeal process).

     Section 5.2 Further Assurances.

     On and after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and use their respective
reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all appropriate actions and do, or cause to be
done, all things necessary or appropriate to consummate and make effective the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the execution of any additional assignment or similar documents or
instruments of transfer of any kind, the obtaining of consents which may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate to carry out any of the provisions hereof and the taking of all such other actions as
such party may reasonably be requested to take by the other party hereto from time to time,
consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, in order to
effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
Included without limitation within the foregoing assurances is Seller’s agreement to take such further actions to evidence
delivery to Buyer of title to the pipeline owned by the Jackson Pipeline Company in form and scope that is
customary for properties of this type including obtaining at Seller’s cost an opinion of outside counsel confirming the reasonable nature of such title if such an opinion is
deemed necessary in the joint opinion of Buyer and Seller.
As further detailed in the Transition Services
Agreement, Seller shall continue to receive, record and deposit receivables of
the Entities and irrevocably instruct the Entities’ bank(s) to transfer all receipts to such
bank and accounts as designated by Buyer in writing and to forward to Buyer all correspondence and
invoices received by Seller that are directed to any of the Entities.

     Section 5.3 Employee Matters.

               (a) Subject to Section 5.3(b) and Section 5.3(c) below, on the date hereof (unless previously
done), Seller shall give notice to all Affected Employees

23

 

that the active participation of the
Affected Employees in the Seller’s and Entities’ employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements
(such plans, programs and arrangements, the “Seller Plans”) shall terminate on the date
hereof, and the Entities shall terminate participation of Affected Employees in the Seller Plans as
of the date hereof. In addition, Seller shall retain all Liabilities and assets that arise with
respect to current and former employees of the Entities by virtue of their employment with the
Sellers or their Affiliates prior to the date hereof, including without limitation under the
Pension Plan for Employees of Consumers Energy and Other CMS Energy Companies.

               (b) As of the date hereof, Buyer shall cause the Entities to continue to employ all of the
Affected Employees for a period of at least six (6) months from and after the date hereof.

               (c) With respect to those employee benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates (“Buyer
Plans”) in which Affected Employees may participate on or after the date hereof, Buyer shall,
and shall cause the Entities to, credit prior service of the Affected Employees with the Entities
or other Affiliates of Seller for purposes of eligibility and vesting under Buyer Plans and for all
purposes with respect to vacation, sick days and severance under such Buyer Plans. Affected
Employees shall also be given pro rata credit for any deductible or co-insurance payment amounts
payable in respect of the Buyer Plan year in which the date hereof occurs, to the extent that,
following the date hereof, they participate in any Buyer Plan during such plan year for which
deductibles or co-payments are required.

               (d) Buyer and the Entities shall be responsible for all Liabilities and obligations under the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar foreign, state and local rules,
statutes and ordinances resulting from the actions of Buyer and the Entities after the date hereof

               (e) CMS Energy Corporation or its Affiliates shall retain all assets that are accumulated as
of date hereof under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 106 (and deposited in various
VEBA accounts and 401(h) accounts of Seller or its Affiliates). Further, Seller or its Affiliates
shall retain the liability for post-employment benefits other than pensions (“PBOPs”) for
the benefit of former employees of the Entities who are retirees of the Entities as of the date
hereof, and Affected Employees who are eligible to retire and qualified for benefits under PBOPs as
of the date hereof, and Seller or its Affiliates shall retain the responsibility for providing
post-retirement benefits to such employees pursuant to the eligibility requirements of the
Seller Plans. It is the intent of the parties that Buyer shall have no obligation whatsoever
with respect to pension or any other post-employment benefits that any employee of the Entities,
whether current or retired, is entitled to as a result of employment with the Entities or its
Affiliates prior to the date hereof.

     Section 5.4 Tax Covenants.

               (a) Tax Return Filings, Refunds, and Credits.

24

 

                    (i) Seller shall timely prepare and file (or cause such preparation and filing) with
the appropriate Tax authorities all Tax Returns (including any Consolidated Income Tax
Returns) with respect to the Entities for Tax periods that end on or before the Cut-off
Date (the “Seller Returns”), and will pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes due with
respect to the Seller Returns. The taxes shown on the Tax Returns shall be correct and
complete insofar as the Entities are concerned.

                    (ii) Buyer shall timely prepare and file (or cause such preparation and filing) with
the appropriate Tax authorities all Tax Returns (the “Straddle Period Returns”)
with respect to the Entities for all Tax periods ending after the Cut-off Date that include
the Cut-off Date (the “Straddle Period”). All Straddle Period Returns shall be
prepared in accordance with past practice. Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of any
Straddle Period Returns at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date thereof (giving
effect to any extensions thereto), accompanied by a statement (the “Straddle
Statement”) setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Pre-Cut-off Taxes as
defined below. If Seller agrees with the Straddle Period Return and Straddle Statement,
Seller shall pay to Buyer (or Buyer shall pay to Seller, if appropriate) an amount equal to
the Pre-Cut-off Taxes as shown on the Straddle Statement not later than two (2) Business
Days before the due date (including any extensions thereof) for payment of Taxes with
respect to such Straddle Period Return. If, within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the
Straddle Period Return and Straddle Statement, Seller notifies Buyer that it disputes the
manner of preparation of the Straddle Period Return or the amount calculated in the
Straddle Statement, then Buyer and Seller shall attempt to resolve their disagreement
within the five (5) days following Seller’s notification or Buyer of such disagreement. If
Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreement, the dispute shall be submitted
to a mutually agreed upon nationally recognized independent accounting firm, whose expense
shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller, for resolution, if possible, within twenty (20)
days of such submission. If the parties have not agreed on an independent accounting firm
within fifteen days following Seller’s notification of Buyer of such disagreement, on the
request of any party such independent accounting firm shall be appointed by the ICC Centre.
Any independent accounting firm appointed by the ICC Centre shall be an impartial and
disinterested senior partner in an internationally recognized accounting firm. The
decision of such accounting firm with respect to such dispute shall be binding upon Buyer
and Seller, and
Seller shall pay to Buyer (or Buyer shall pay to Seller, if appropriate) an amount
equal to the Pre-Cut-off Taxes as decided by such accounting firm not later than two (2)
Business Days before the due date (including any extensions thereof) for payment of Taxes
with respect to such Straddle Period Return.

                    (iii) From and after the Cut-off Date, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the
Entities) will not file any amended Tax Return, carryback claim, or other adjustment
request with respect to the Entities for any Tax period that includes or ends on or before
the Cut-off Date unless Seller consents in writing; provided, however, that
with respect to any Straddle Period Return, such

25

 

consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, provided Buyer has made arrangements to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller to
make Seller whole for any detriment or cost incurred (or to be incurred) by Seller as a
result of such amended Tax Return, carryback claim or other adjustment request.

                    (iv) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of the Entities that are
payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes
“Pre-Cut-off Taxes” shall be the excess of (A) (i) in the case of Taxes that are
either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts or (y) imposed in connection with
any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property
(real or personal, tangible or intangible) be deemed equal to the amount that would be
payable if the Tax period ended on the Cut-off Date and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other
than those described in clause (i)) imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the
business or assets of the Entities, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire
Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount
of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period
ending on the Cut-off Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in
the entire Straddle Period over (B) any prepayment or advances of Taxes or any payments of
estimated Taxes with respect to the Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (i) of the
preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an
annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Cut-off
Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated
to the Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days
in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Cut-off Date and the denominator of
which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. Pre-Cut-off Taxes
include any Taxes attributable to a Person that is treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes as if such Person allocated Tax items to its partners in a manner
consistent with this Section 5.4(b)(iv). In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by
capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required
to be allocated under this Section 5.6(b)(iv) shall be computed by reference to the level
of such items on the Cut-off Date. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat a portion of any Straddle
Period as a
short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Cut-off Date. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Post-Cut-off Taxes” shall include any Taxes of the
Entities that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, except for the portion of any
such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Cut-off Taxes. For avoidance of doubt, Michigan property
taxes shall be prorated using the “statutory” method.

                    (v) Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in preparing and filing all Tax
Returns with respect to the Entities, including maintaining and making available to each
other all records reasonably necessary

26

 

in connection with Taxes of the Entities and in
resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all Tax periods relating to Taxes of the
Entities.

                    (vi) For a period of seven (7) years after the Cut-off Date, the Seller and its
Representatives shall have reasonable access to the books and records (including the right
to make extracts thereof) of the Entities to the extent that such books and records relate
to Taxes and to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by Seller in
connection with matters relating to or affected by the operation of the Entities prior to
the Cut-off Date. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable
advance notice and during normal business hours. If Buyer shall desire to dispose of any
of such books and records prior to the expiration of such seven-year period, Buyer shall,
prior to such disposition, give Seller a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s expense, to
segregate and remove such books and records as Seller may select.

                    (vii) If an Indemnified Party actually receives a refund or credit or other
reimbursement with respect to Taxes for which it would be indemnified under this Agreement,
the Indemnified Party shall pay over such refund or credit or other reimbursement to the
Indemnifying Party.

                    (viii) Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Entities to not, make, amend or revoke any
Tax election if such action would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any of Seller
or its Affiliates with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Cut-off Date or
for the Pre-Cut-off portion of any Straddle Period or any Tax refund or credit with respect
thereto.

                    (ix) For purposes of this Agreement a “Consolidated Income Tax Return” is any income
Tax Return filed with respect to any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unified group
provided for under Section 1501 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations under Section 1502
of the Code, or any comparable provisions of Applicable Law, other than any income Tax
Return that includes only any one of the Entities.

               (b) Indemnity for Taxes.

                    (i) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates against and hold
them harmless from all liability for (i) all Taxes
imposed on the Entities with respect to Tax periods ending on or before the Cut-off
Date, (ii) Pre-Cut-off Taxes with respect to any Straddle Period, and (iii) all Taxes that
are attributable to Seller or any member (other than the Entities) of an affiliated,
consolidated, combined or unitary Tax group of which at least one of the Entities was a
member prior to the Cut-off Date that is imposed under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6
(or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) by reason of the Entities
being included in any such Tax group.

                    (ii) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates against and hold them
harmless from all liability for (A) all Taxes of the

27

 

Entities with respect to all Tax
periods beginning after the Cut-off Date, (B) Post-Cut-off Taxes with respect to any
Straddle Period, and (C) Transfer Taxes.

                    (iii) The obligation of Seller to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, on the one hand,
and the obligations of Buyer to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, on the other hand,
pursuant to this Section 5.4, shall terminate upon the expiration of the applicable
statutes of limitations with respect to the Tax Liabilities in question (giving effect to
any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

                    (iv) Any indemnification obligation under this Section 5.4(b) which relates to one of
the Entities that is not wholly owned by Seller shall be reduced pro rata to reflect the
elimination of the amount of Tax liability equivalent to the third-party’s ownership
percentage in such Entity.

               (c) Certain Payments. Buyer and Seller agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to
treat) any payment under this Section 5.4 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax
purposes.

               (d) Contests.

                    (i) After the Cut-off Date, Seller and Buyer each shall notify the other party in
writing within ten (10) days of the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or
judicial proceeding affecting the Taxes of any of the Entities that, if determined
adversely to the taxpayer (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) or after the lapse of time
would be grounds for indemnification under this Section 5.4 by the other party (the
“Tax Indemnifying Party” and a “Tax Claim”). Such notice shall contain
factual information describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall
include copies of any notice or other document received from any Tax authority in respect
of any such asserted Tax liability. Failure to give such notification shall not affect the
indemnification provided in this Section 5.4 except to the extent the Tax Indemnifying
Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Tax
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which
the Tax Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Tax Indemnified
Party shall deliver to the Tax Indemnifying Party, as promptly as
possible but in no event later than ten (10) days after the Tax Indemnified Party’s
receipt thereof, copies of all relevant notices and documents (including court papers)
received by the Tax Indemnified Party.

                    (ii) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any
asserted liability for Taxes relating to any Taxable years or periods ending on or before
the Cut-off Date or any Straddle Period, Seller shall have the right, at its expense, to
control the conduct of such audit or proceeding; provided, however, that
(A) with respect to Straddle Periods, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed with
respect to the status of such audit or proceeding and provide Buyer with copies of all
written correspondence with

28

 

respect to such audit or proceeding in a timely manner and (B)
if such audit or proceeding would be reasonably expected to result in a material increase
in Tax liability of the Entities for which Buyer would be liable under this Section 5.6,
Buyer may participate in the conduct of such audit or proceeding at its own expense.

                    (iii) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any
asserted liability for Taxes relating to any Taxable years or periods beginning after the
Cut-off Date, Buyer shall have the right, at its expense, to control the conduct of such
audit or proceeding.

                    (iv) Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in connection with any Tax Claim, and
such cooperation shall include the provision to the Tax Indemnifying Party of records and
information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim and making employees available
on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
material provided hereunder.

               (e) Transfer and Similar Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary, all sales, use, transfer, gains, stamp, duties, recording and similar
Taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by Buyer, and Buyer shall accurately file all
necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes and timely pay all
such Transfer Taxes. If required by Applicable Law, Seller will join in the execution of any such
Return. Buyer shall provide copies of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes to Seller no
later than fifteen (15) days after the due dates of such Tax Returns.

               (f) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. On or prior to the Cut-off Date, Seller
shall cause all Tax sharing agreements between the Seller or any of its Affiliates (as determined
immediately after the Cut-off Date) on the one hand, and the Entities on the other hand, to be
terminated, and all obligations thereunder shall be settled, and no additional payments shall be
made under any provisions thereof after the Cut-off Date.

               (g) Special Rule. For purposes of applying this Section 5.4, when applying the
definitions “Pre-Cut-off Taxes,” “Post-Cut-off Taxes,” and “Straddle Period,” the term “Cut-off
Date” as used in such definitions shall mean December 31, 2006.

     Section 5.5 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

               (a) Seller and Buyer agree that Casualty Insurance Claims relating to the businesses of the
Entities (including reported claims and including incurred but not reported claims) will remain
with the Entities immediately following the consummation of the transaction contemplated in this
Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Casualty Insurance Claims” shall mean workers’
compensation, auto liability, general

29

 

liability and products liability claims and claims for
damages caused to the facilities of the Entities generally insured under all risk, real property,
boiler and mechanical breakdown insurance coverage which are disclosed on Section 5.6(a) of the
Seller Disclosure Letter. The Casualty Insurance Claims are subject to the provisions of policies
of insurance with insurance carriers and contractual arrangements with insurance adjusters
maintained by Seller or its Affiliates prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Insurance
Policies”). With respect to the Casualty Insurance Claims, the following procedures shall
apply: (i) Seller or its Affiliates shall continue to administer, adjust, settle and pay, on
behalf of the Entities, all Casualty Insurance Claims with dates of occurrence prior to the date of
hereof and (ii) Seller shall invoice Buyer at the end of each month for Casualty Insurance Claims
paid on behalf of the Entities by Seller. In the event that Buyer does not pay, or cause to be
paid, to Seller such amount due within fifteen (15) days of such invoice, interest at the rate of
ten percent (10%) per annum shall accrue on the amount of such invoice. Casualty Insurance Claims
to be paid by Seller hereunder shall include all costs necessary to settle claims including
compensatory, medical, legal and other allocated expenses. In the event that any Casualty
Insurance Claims exceeds a deductible or self-insured retention under the Insurance Policies,
Seller shall be entitled to the benefit of any insurance proceeds that may be available to
discharge any portion of such Casualty Insurance Claim.

               (b) Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to the applicability, validity or
adequacy of any Insurance Policies, and Seller shall not be responsible to Buyer or any of its
Affiliates for the failure of any insurer to pay under any such Insurance Policy.

               (c) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide or shall be construed as providing a
benefit or release to any insurer or claims service organization of any obligation under any
Insurance Policies. Seller and Buyer confirm that the sole intention of this Section 5.6 is to
divide and allocate the benefits and obligations under the Insurance Policies between them as of
the date hereof and not to effect, enhance or diminish the rights and obligations of any insurer or
claims service organization thereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating or
permitting any insurer or claims service organization the right of subrogation against Seller or
Buyer or
any of their Affiliates in respect of payments made by one to the other under any Insurance
Policy.

               (d) If Buyer requests a copy of an Insurance Policy relating to a pending or threatened
Casualty Insurance Claim, Seller shall provide a copy of all relevant insurance policies which
insure such Casualty Insurance Claims within five (5) Business Days, provided, that if
Seller cannot provide such policy within five (5) days after exercising reasonable best efforts to
locate such policy, Seller shall continue to exercise its reasonable best efforts to provide such
policy to Buyer as soon as possible thereafter.

     Section 5.6 Transfers of Title and Possession of Assets of Entities.

     In those cases where a Material Contract, deed, easement, Permit, right of way or other asset
was entered into or acquired for the benefit of one of the Entities or its business by any person
other than one of the Entities, including an Affiliate of one of the Entities, and the rights and
obligations of such Material Contract, deed, easement, Permit or other asset have not been assigned
to one of the Entities as of the date hereof, Seller will use its reasonable best efforts at its
reasonable expense to ensure that such assignments are made as soon as reasonably practicable.

     Section 5.7 Preservation of Records.

               (a) Buyer agrees that it shall, at its own expense, preserve and keep the records held by it
relating to the respective businesses of the Entities that could reasonably be required after the
consummation of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement by Seller for the time periods
required pursuant to the applicable document retention program in effect on the date hereof (a copy
of which has been provided to Buyer); provided, however, that upon expiration of
such period, as applicable, Buyer shall give written notice to Seller if it or the custodian of
such books and records proposes to destroy or dispose of the same. Seller shall have the
opportunity for a period of thirty (30) days after receiving such notice to elect to have some or
all of such books and records delivered, at Seller’s expense and risk, to a location chosen by
Seller. In addition, Buyer shall make such records available to Seller as may reasonably be
required by Seller in connection with, among other things, any insurance claim, legal proceeding or
governmental investigation relating to the respective businesses of Seller and its Affiliates,
including the Entities. Seller agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided
by Buyer or the Entities hereunder during the time periods provided for in this Section.

               (b) Seller agrees that it shall, at its own expense, preserve and keep the records held by it
relating to the respective business of the Entities which are contained in the records of Seller or
its Affiliates that could reasonably be required after the consummation of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement by Seller for the time periods required pursuant to the applicable
document retention program in effect on the date hereof. In addition, Seller shall make such
records available to Buyer as may
reasonably be required by Buyer in connection with, among other things, any insurance claim,
legal proceeding or governmental investigation relating to the Entities.

     Section 5.8 Public Statements.

     No public or private release, announcement or regulatory filing concerning the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be issued by any of the parties without the prior consent of the other
parties (which consent shall not unreasonably withheld), except for such press release,
announcement or regulatory filing as is required by law, court process or stock exchange rule to be
made by the party proposing to issue the same, in which case such party shall use its reasonable
best efforts to consult in good faith with the other party prior to the issuance of any such press
release, announcement or filing.

31

 

     Section 5.9 Use of Corporate Name; Transitional Use of Seller’s Name.

     Promptly after the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, Buyer shall cause each
of the Entities to make any necessary legal filings with the appropriate Governmental Authorities
to register the change in their corporate names to names that do not include “CMS”. Buyer and its
Affiliates shall hold harmless and indemnify Seller and any of its Affiliates against all Damages
resulting from or arising in connection with the use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the “CMS”
name as provided in this Section 5.11.

     Section 5.10 Release of Guarantees.

     Unless previously done, Buyer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, either (a) arrange for
substitute letters of credit, guarantees and other obligations on commercially reasonable terms to
replace in all respects the indemnities, performance bonds, performance guarantees, other guaranty
obligations, letters of credit and other similar arrangements of Seller or its Affiliates
(collectively, the “Released Parties”) in favor of any of the Entities (collectively,
“Guarantees” as further disclosed in Section 5.10 of the Seller Disclosure Letter) or (b)
assume all obligations under each such Guarantee, obtaining from the creditor or other
counter-party a full release of the Released Parties. As soon as reasonably practicable, Buyer
shall terminate, or cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for the
Released Parties in respect of, all obligations of the Released Parties under any such Guarantee.
Buyer shall, to the extent the beneficiary or counter-party under any Guarantee refuses to accept
such a substitute letter of credit, (i) obtain a letter of credit on behalf of Buyer and (ii)
indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties for any Losses arising from payments under such
Guarantees that relate to events or circumstances arising after the date hereof. To the extent
that any Released Party has performance obligations under any such Guarantee, Buyer shall (i)
perform such obligations on behalf of such Released Party or (ii) otherwise take such action as
reasonably requested by Seller so as to put such Released Party in the same position as if Buyer,
and not such Released Party, had performed or was performing such obligations.

     Section 5.11 Confidentiality.

     Each of Buyer and Seller will hold, and will cause its Representatives to hold, in confidence,
unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law,
all confidential documents and information concerning the Entities furnished to Buyer in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that such information
can be shown to have been (i) previously known on a non-confidential basis by Buyer or Seller, (ii)
in the public domain through no fault of Buyer or Seller or (iii) later lawfully acquired by Buyer
or Seller from sources other than the the other party; provided that Buyer may disclose such
information to its Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement so long as such Persons are informed by Buyer of the confidential nature of such
information and are directed by Buyer to treat such information confidentially. The obligation of
each of Buyer and Seller to hold any such information in confidence shall

32

 

be satisfied if it
exercises the same care with respect to such information as it would take to preserve the
confidentiality of their own similar information.

ARTICLE VI

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 6.1 Survival.

               (a) All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive for a period of twelve
(12) months following the date hereof except for the representations and warranties of Seller set
forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, and of Buyer in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, which shall survive
indefinitely and those in Section 3.15 which shall survive for the applicable statutes of
limitation periods referred to therein (such periods set forth above are referred to herein as the
relevant “Indemnity Period”). The parties intend to shorten the statute of limitations and
agree that no claims or causes of action may be brought against Seller, Buyer or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, agents or
Representatives based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement after the Indemnity Period; provided that if a written notice of claim
for indemnification is made during the applicable Indemnity Period in accordance with this Article
VIII, such claim shall survive until its resolution.

               (b) All covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms are to be performed in
whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the date hereof, shall survive the
consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with their terms.

               (c) Seller hereby covenants that CMS Enterprises Company shall maintain a consolidated net
worth of at least $10,000,000 for a period of twelve (12) months following the date hereof.

     Section 6.2 Indemnification.

               (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, subsequent to the consummation of
the transaction contemplated hereby, Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Buyer
and its Affiliates, their respective successors and permitted assigns, and their officers and
directors (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all
Damages incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or incurred in
connection with:

                    (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in
this Agreement, in each case, when made or deemed made; and

                    (ii) any breach in any material respect by Seller of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement.

33

 

                    (b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, subsequent to the consummation of
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend, save and hold
harmless Seller and its Affiliates, their respective successors and permitted assigns, and their
officers and directors (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against
any and all Damages to the extent incurred by the Seller Indemnified Party arising out of,
resulting from or incurred in connection with:

                    (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Buyer contained
in this Agreement, in each case, when made or deemed made. For the avoidance of doubt, it
is expressly understood that each of Lucid and Michigan Pipeline and Processing, LLC shall
be severally, and not jointly, liable for Damages incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party as
a result of a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Person or
for the breach of confidentiality obligations governed by Section 5.15 and, as a result, a
Seller Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make a Claim, seek contribution, assert
joint and several liability or otherwise seek indemnification against the other Buyer based
on such breach or inaccuracy or breach of confidentiality obligations; and

                    (ii) any breach in any material respect by Buyer of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement.

                    (c) Any Person providing indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2 is
referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party,” and any Person entitled to be indemnified
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2 is referred to herein as an “Indemnified
Party.”

                    (d) Seller’s indemnification obligations contained in Section 6.2(a)(i) shall not apply to any
Claim for Damages unless and until the aggregate
of all such Damages exceeds $300,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Seller’s
indemnity obligation contained in Section 6.2(a)(i) shall apply to all Claims for Damages in excess
of the Threshold Amount, subject to a maximum liability to Seller, in the aggregate, of $5,000,000
(the “Cap Amount”); provided, however, that any Claims for Damages for breach of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, shall not be
subject to the Threshold Amount, Cap Amount or Minimum Claim Amount (as defined below). Damages
relating to any single breach or series of related breaches of Seller’s representations and
warranties shall not constitute Damages, and therefore shall not be applied towards the Threshold
Amount or be indemnifiable hereunder, unless such Damages relating to any single breach or series
of related breaches exceed $25,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”).

                    (e) Buyer’s indemnification obligations contained in Section 6.2(b)(i) shall not apply to any
Claim for Damages unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages equals the Threshold Amount,
in which event Buyer’s indemnification obligation contained in Section 862(b)(i) shall apply to all
Claims for Damages in excess of the Threshold Amount, subject to a maximum liability to the

34

 

Buyer,
in the aggregate, of the Cap Amount. Damages relating to any single breach or series of related
breaches of Buyer’s representations and warranties shall not constitute Damages, and therefore
shall not be applied towards the Threshold Amount or be indemnifiable hereunder, unless such
Damages relating to any single breach or series of related breaches exceed the Minimum Claim
Amount.

               (f) The indemnification obligations of each party hereto under this Section 6.2 shall inure to
the benefit of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties, and such Buyer
Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties shall be obligated to keep and perform the
obligations imposed on an Indemnified Party by this Section 6.2, on the same terms as are
applicable to such other party.

               (g) In all cases in which a Person is entitled to be indemnified in accordance with this
Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall be under a duty to take all commercially reasonable
measures to mitigate all losses.

               (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, claims for indemnification with
respect to Tax matters shall be governed by the provisions of Section 5.4 and claims for
Environmental matters shall be governed by Section 6.6 of this Agreement, but in each such case the
indemnification obligations for each party hereto shall remain subject to the remaining provisions
of Section 6.2 including without limitation the application of the Cap Amount, Threshold Amount and
Minimum Claim Amount.

               (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified
Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI to the extent any Damages were
attributable to such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

               (j) The remedies provided in this Article VI shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies
of the parties, from and after the date hereof, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.

     Section 6.3 Calculation of Damages.

               (a) The amount of any Damages suffered by any party hereto shall be reduced by (i) any amount
that is reserved for sums held in reserve in respect of the indemnifiable event on the balance
sheet of the Entities, as applicable, as of December 31, 2006 to the extent such Damages are
suffered by a Buyer Indemnified Party, or (ii) any amount that an Indemnified Party is entitled to
receive with respect thereto under any third party insurance coverage or from any other party
alleged to be responsible therefor.

               (b) If an Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification under this Article VI, the
Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to collect any amounts available under such
insurance coverage and from such other party alleged to have responsibility. If an Indemnified
Party receives an amount under insurance coverage or from such other party with respect to Damages
at any time subsequent to any

35

 

indemnification provided by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Article VI, then
such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or
expense incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to
such amount received by the Indemnified Party, but net of any expenses incurred by the Indemnified
Party in collecting such amount. To the extent the Indemnifying Party makes any indemnification
payment pursuant to this Article VII in respect of Damages for which an Indemnified Party has a
right to recover against a third party (including an insurance company), the Indemnifying Party
shall be subrogated to the right of the Indemnified Party to seek and obtain recovery from such
third party; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party shall be prohibited
from such subrogation, the Indemnified Party shall seek recovery from such third party on the
Indemnifying Party’s behalf and pay any such recovery to the Indemnifying Party net of expenses.

     Section 6.4 Procedures for Third-Party Claims.

     The obligations of any Indemnifying Party to indemnify any Indemnified Party under this
Article VI with respect to Claim for Damages by third parties (including Governmental Entities) (a
“Third-Party Claim”), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

               (a) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such
Third-Party Claim reasonably promptly after learning of such Third-Party Claim, and the
Indemnifying Party may, at its option, undertake the defense thereof by Representatives of its own
choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and shall provide written notice of
any such undertaking to the Indemnified Party. Failure to give prompt written notice of a
Third-Party Claim hereunder shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this
Article VI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure
to give prompt written notice. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its employees and
Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the
settlement or defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with all
available information and documents concerning such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party
shall provide the Indemnified Party with copies of all non-privileged communications and other
information in respect of the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30)
days after written notice of any such Third-Party Claim, fails to assume the defense of such
Third-Party Claim, or, after assuming defense, negligently fails to defend and fails to call after
reasonable written notice of the same, the Indemnified Party against whom such Third-Party Claim
has been made shall (upon further written notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to
undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the
account and risk, and at the expense, of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at any time prior to settlement,
compromise or final determination thereof upon written notice to the Indemnified Party.

36

 

               (b) Anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Indemnified Party
shall not settle a Third-Party Claim for which it is indemnified without the prior written consent
of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action,
suit or proceeding, or consent to the entry of any judgment for relief other than monetary damages
to be borne by the Indemnifying Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

     Section 6.5 Procedures for Inter-Party Claims.

     In the event that an Indemnified Party determines that it has a Claim for Damages against an
Indemnifying Party hereunder (other than as a result of a Third-Party Claim), the Indemnified Party
shall give reasonably prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the
amount of such Claim and any relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto, and such notice
shall be promptly given even if the nature or extent of the Damages is not then known. The
notification shall be subsequently supplemented within a reasonable time as additional information
regarding the Claim or the nature or extent of Damages resulting therefrom becomes available to the
Indemnified Party. Any failure to give such reasonably prompt notice or supplement thereto or to
provide any such facts and circumstances will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party, except
to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually materially prejudiced thereby.
The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt to negotiate in good faith for a
thirty-day (30-day) period regarding the resolution of any disputed Claims for Damages. If for any
reason, such dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, on the request of any party it shall be
resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 9.8 herein. Promptly following the final
determination of the amount of any Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party, subject to the limitations of the Minimum Claim Amount, Threshold Amount and the Cap Amount,
shall pay such Damages to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

          Section 6.6 Special Indemnification Provision Relating to Environmental
Matters.

               (a) Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller harmless from all Damages arising in any way
from the matters disclosed in Section 6.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter. This includes,
without limitation, all Damages arising from non-compliance with, or remediation under, any
Environmental Law that arise out of actions or omissions that occurred before the date hereof and
that have been disclosed to Buyer in Section 6.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter. It is further
agreed that nothing herein shall be deemed to require Seller to pursue any insurance or other third
party claims, or, if received, to pay over any insurance or other third party proceeds to Buyer, in
connection with the foregoing matters.

37

 

               (b) Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller harmless from all Damages resulting from
non-compliance with, or remediation under, any Environmental Law that arise out of actions or
omissions that occur after the date hereof.

               (c) Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all Damages under any Environmental
Law that arise out of actions or omissions that occurred before the date hereof but were not
disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter, if they relate to matters as to which written
notification is given by Buyer to Seller during a period ending one year after the date hereof.

     To the extent, if any, that Seller may have responsibility for responding to any
non-compliance or requirement for remediation under any Environmental Law with respect to a period
for which it has indemnification obligations hereunder, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with
environmental response activities of Seller on the property of the Entities being transferred
pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer shall ensure that Seller has reasonable access at all such times
to investigate, monitor, and remediate said property, and to install, operate, and maintain
facilities for the containment or treatment of the soil and groundwater, and to perform other
environmental remediation and response activities, which shall not unreasonably interfere with the
business of the Buyer or the Entities. In the event of an environmental remediation with respect
to a period for which Seller may have indemnification obligations hereunder, Seller may elect to
perform a cleanup in accordance with applicable industrial cleanup standards or (if applicable at
the time of cleanup) commercial III or IV cleanup standards under the Michigan Natural Resources
and Environmental Protection Act, Part 201 (Part 201), or similar standards which may be allowed
under Michigan law in the future. In connection with such a cleanup, Buyer agrees to impose
restrictions upon future use of the property, if required, including the restrictions required
under Mich. Comp. Laws § 324.20120a(1)(b) or (d). These may be included in a declaration of
restrictive covenants, in the form approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality,
and which must be signed by Buyer and filed with the Register of Deeds. By way of example and not
of limitation, these may include restrictions on site uses to commercial or industrial uses
consistent with the cleanup standards, restrictions on groundwater use, and provisions for
appropriate management of soils in accordance with the requirements of Part 201, provided, however,
(i) Seller shall conduct any and all such investigation, monitoring, and remediation in compliance
with applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) cleanup standards or cleanup criteria applicable to any
remedial action by Seller at the property shall not be in any way inconsistent with current use of
the subject property or expansion of uses of a similar nature at the property; (iii) no
restrictions, declarations or covenants to be imposed on the subject property or recorded in the
public registry shall be in any way inconsistent with current use of the subject property or
expansion of uses of a similar nature at the property; and (iv) reasonable efforts shall be made to
minimize the applicable area for any restrictions, declarations or covenants to be imposed on the
subject property or recorded in the public registry by limiting them to portions of the property
that are subject to such remedial actions.

38

 

     In regard to the matters covered by this Section 6.6, each party shall at all times act
reasonably so as to avoid unnecessarily exposing the other party to liability under this Section
6.6 or to otherwise unnecessarily cause the other party to incur costs or expenses.

     Section 7.8 Resolution of Disputes.

     Except for the resolution of disputes that shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures
set forth in sections 5.5 and 6.5 herein, all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any Transition Services Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof or the parties’
performance hereunder or thereunder (“Dispute”) shall be resolved as provided by this
Section 7.8.

41

 

               (a) If the Dispute has not been resolved by executive officer negotiation within thirty (30)
days of the disputing party’s notice requesting negotiation, or if the parties fail to meet within
twenty (20) days from delivery of said notice, such Dispute shall be submitted to and finally
settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of
Commerce in Detroit, Michigan (“ICC”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified
herein.

               (b) The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in the English language.
There shall be three arbitrators, one of whom shall be nominated by each of Buyer and Seller in
accordance with the Rules. The two party appointed arbitrators shall have thirty (30) days from
the confirmation of the nomination of the second arbitrator to agree on the nomination of a third
arbitrator who shall serve as chair of the arbitral tribunal. On the request of any party, any
arbitrator not timely appointed in accordance with this Agreement or the Rules shall be appointed
by the ICC.

               (c) The award shall be final and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered, and shall
be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues,
or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered and
enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. For the purpose of
the enforcement of an award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction
of a competent court in any jurisdiction in which a party may have assets and waive any defenses to
such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum. This Agreement and
the rights and obligations of the parties shall remain in full force and effect pending the award
in any arbitration proceeding hereunder.

               (d) The Parties agree that any court action or proceeding to compel or in support of
arbitration or for provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including but not limited to any
action to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.8, for temporary injunctive relief maintain the
status quo or prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitral tribunal, shall be
brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Jackson, Michigan (the “Michigan
Courts”). The Parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Michigan Courts for such purpose, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
Michigan Courts in any action to enforce any arbitration award rendered hereunder, and waive any
right to stay or dismiss any such actions or proceedings brought before the Michigan Courts on the
basis of forum non conveniens or improper venue. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as
may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full
authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify
or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the
failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

     Section 7.9 No Right of Setoff.

     Neither party hereto nor any Affiliate thereof may deduct from, set off, holdback or otherwise
reduce in any manner whatsoever any amount owed to it hereunder or

42

 

pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or any agreement related to the sale of the
Argentine Businesses (the “Argentine Transaction Documents”) against any amounts owed hereunder or
pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or the Argentine Transaction Documents by such
Persons to the other party hereto or any of such other party’s Affiliates.

     Section 7.10 Time is of the Essence.

     Time is of the essence in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 7.11 Specific Performance.

     Each party acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any provision of this Agreement would
cause irreparable harm to the other party. Each party, without prejudice to any rights to judicial
relief it may otherwise have, shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and
specific performance. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of such relief on the
basis that the other party has not suffered irreparable harm or that the other party has an
adequate remedy at law. Each party agrees that it will not seek and agrees to waive any
requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or
obtaining such relief.

     Section 7.12 Entire Agreement.

     This Agreement, together with the Seller Disclosure Letter, Buyer Disclosure Letter, Annex I,
the Exhibits hereto, the Transition Services Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein and
supersede all previous agreements, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement and all prior drafts of this Agreement, all of which are merged into this Agreement. No
prior drafts of this Agreement and no words or phrases from any such prior drafts shall be
admissible into evidence in any action or suit involving this Agreement. In the case of any
material conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any other agreement including the
Transition Services Agreement, this Agreement shall take precedence.

     Section 7.13 Binding Nature; Third Party Beneficiaries.

     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and permitted assigns.
Except as expressly provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the
benefit of or enforceable by any third party, including any creditor of either party or any of
their Affiliates. Except as expressly provided herein, no such third party shall obtain any right
under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reasons of any such provision make any Claim in
respect of any Liability (or otherwise) against either party hereto.

43

 

     Section 7.14 Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall
be deemed to be an original and both of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
Any counterpart or other signature to this Agreement that is delivered by facsimile or electronic
mail shall be deemed for all purposes as constituting good and valid execution and delivery by such
party of this Agreement.

     Section 7.15 Severability.

     If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either party under this
Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision shall be fully
severable, (ii) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a
legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible.

     Section 7.16 Headings.

     The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and
do not define or limit the provisions hereof.

     Section 7.17 Waiver.

     Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is
entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a
written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party or parties waiving such term or
condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more
instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or
condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or
by law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

     Section 7.18 Amendment.

     This Agreement may be altered, amended or changed only by a writing making specific reference
to this Agreement and signed by duly authorized representatives of each party.

by and between

CMS ENERGY INVESTMENT LLC and CMS ENTERPRISES COMPANY,

and

LUCID ENERGY, L.L.C. AND MICHIGAN PIPELINE AND PROCESSING, LLC,

dated as of March 12, 2007

 

 

 

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of March 12, 2007, is made
and entered into by and between CMS Energy Investment LLC, a Michigan limited liability company and
CMS Enterprises Company, a Michigan corporation (collectively, the “Seller”), and Lucid
Energy, L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company and Michigan Pipeline & Processing, LLC, a
Michigan limited liability company (collectively, the “Buyer”).

     WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated as of March 12, 2007, by and
between Seller and Buyer (“Purchase Agreement”), Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer, and
Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller, all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in the
Entities, as further defined in the Purchase Agreement;

     WHEREAS, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, Seller and Buyer have agreed that Seller
shall provide to Buyer the transition services described herein (the “Transition Services”)
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and agreements contained
in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

          Section 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined in this Article I shall have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:

          “Businesses” shall mean the businesses conducted by the Entities.

          “Contact Person” with respect to a Service, shall mean the person set forth opposite
such Service on Schedule A, or such person’s successor or substitute.

          “Service” or “Services” shall mean each of the services described in
Schedule A hereto to be provided by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.

          “Term” shall mean the period of provision of Services as described in Section 3.1

ARTICLE II

SERVICES

          Section 2.1 Services.

 

 

               (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall provide, or shall cause an Affiliate
of Seller to provide, to Buyer the Services during the Term in a

manner and at a level of service consistent in all material respects with the services
provided to the Businesses as it existed immediately prior to the date hereof.

               (b) For each Service, the parties have set forth on Schedule A, a summary of the
Service to be provided, and any other terms applicable thereto.

               (c) Buyer understands that the Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature and are
furnished by Seller for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement. Buyer further understands that Seller is not in the business of providing Services to
third parties and will not, unless otherwise agreed by the Seller and the Buyer in writing, provide
the Services beyond the applicable Term. Buyer agrees to transition each Service to its own
internal organization or other third party service providers by the expiration of the applicable
Term.

               (d) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall grant to Buyer, or shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause Buyer to be granted, a non-exclusive licence to use (but not to modify) any
software used in connection with the provision of the Services to the extent that a licence is
needed for Buyer to receive the benefit of the Services.

               (e) Seller agrees that in the event it becomes apparent that Schedule A omits any
services provided by Seller or its Affiliates to the Entities subsequent to the date herof, Seller
shall, upon Buyer’s request, provide as soon as reasonably practicable such other services on a
basis consistent with Section 2.1(a) hereof.

               (f) For the avoidance of doubt, legal services shall not be included in the Services.

          Section 2.2 Standard of Care.

     Seller shall provide such Services exercising the same degree of care as it exercises in
performing the same or similar services for itself and its Affiliates.

          Section 2.3 Modification of Services.

     Schedule A identifies the Services to be provided by Seller and, subject to the mutual
agreement of the parties hereto acting reasonably, it may be amended in writing from time to time,
to add any additional Services or to modify or delete Services.

          Section 2.4 Independence.

               (a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all employees and representatives of Seller shall be
deemed for all purposes, including without limitation, all compensation and employee benefits
matters to be employees or representatives of Seller and not employees or representatives of Buyer.
In connection with provision of the Services, the employees and representatives of Seller shall be
under the direction, control and supervision of Seller (and not Buyer) and Seller shall have the
sole right to exercise all

2

 

authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment),
assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives.

               (b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all employees and representatives of Buyer shall be
deemed for purposes of all compensation and employee benefits matters to be employees or
representatives of Buyer and not employees or representatives of Seller.

          Section 2.5 Non-Exclusivity.

     Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from obtaining, in whole or in part, services
of any nature that may be obtainable from Seller from its own employees or from providers other
than Seller.

          Section 2.6 Cooperation.

     Buyer shall, in a timely manner, take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable in order to enable or assist Seller in the provision of the Services, including providing
necessary information and specific written authorizations and consents, and Seller shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent that Buyer’s failure to take any such action
renders performance by Seller of such obligations unlawful or impracticable.

          Section 2.7 Limitation On Services.

     Seller shall not be required to expand its facilities, incur new long-term capital expenses or
employ additional personnel in order to provide the Services to Buyer. Furthermore, Seller shall
not be obligated to provide Services hereunder that are significantly greater in nature or scope
than the comparable services provided by Seller to the Businesses immediately prior to the date
hereof, or that are greater in nature or scope than comparable services provided by Seller during
the Term to its own internal organizations.

          Section 2.8 Personnel.

               (a) In providing the Services, Seller as it deems necessary or appropriate, acting reasonably,
may (i) use the personnel of Seller or its Affiliates or (ii) employ the services of third parties
to the extent such third party services are routinely utilized to provide similar services to other
businesses of Seller or are reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of any of such
Services. Buyer may retain consultants and other professional advisers at its sole expense.

               (b) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that asset level employees employed
by Seller or its Affiliates will be available to support a three months transition; provided that
Seller shall not be required to offer retention arrangements or other special arrangements to such
employees in order to comply with its obligations hereunder.

3

 

          Section 2.9 Right To Determine Priority.

     If there is an unavoidable conflict between the immediate needs of Seller and those of Buyer
as to the use of or access to a particular Service, Seller shall have the right, acting reasonably
and upon consulting the Buyer, if practicable, to establish reasonable priorities, at particular
times and under particular circumstances, as between Seller and Buyer. In any such situation,
Seller shall provide notice to Buyer of the establishment of such priorities at the earliest
practicable time.

          Section 2.10 Contact Persons.

     The Contact Person for each Service shall deal with issues arising out of the performance by
Seller of such Services and facilitate orderly provision and receipt of such Service. Each party
agrees to provide reasonable access (in person, by telephone or electronically via e-mail) during
normal business hours to the appropriate Contact Person for problem resolution.

ARTICLE III

TERM AND TERMINATION

          Section 3.1 Term.

     This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and shall remain in force for a
period of three (3) unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 3.2 below.

               (a) If Buyer requests to extend the Term, Seller may, in its sole discretion, agree to extend
this Agreement.

               (b) Buyer shall not have any obligation to continue to use any of the Services and may delete
any Service from Schedule A by giving Seller thirty (30) days notice thereof. In the event
any Service is terminated by Buyer, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect termination of
such Services.

          Section 3.2 Termination.

               (a) Termination Without Cause. The obligation of Seller to provide or cause to be
provided each Service to be provided hereunder shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:

               (i) the expiration of the Term;

               (ii) the expiration of the term (including any available renewal term) during
which such Service is to be provided as specified in Schedule A;

4

 

               (iii) the date thirty (30) days following written notice from Seller that
Seller is discontinuing permanently the provision of such Service to its own
internal organizations;

               (iv) the date thirty (30) days (or such longer period as is specified in
Schedule A) after Seller receives written notice that Buyer no longer
desires that such Service be provided; or

               (v) the date of termination pursuant to Section 3.2(b) or 3.2(c).

               (b) Termination For Cause. Subject to Section 5.1, if either party shall fail to
perform in any material respect any of its material obligations under this Agreement (other than a
payment default) (the “Defaulting Party”), the other party entitled to the benefit of such
performance (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give thirty (30) days’ written notice to the
Defaulting Party specifying the nature of such failure or default and stating that the
Non-Defaulting Party intends to terminate this Agreement, either in its entirety or partially as
set forth in Section 3.2(c), if such failure or default is not cured within thirty (30) days of
such written notice. If any failure or default so specified is not cured within such thirty (30)
day period, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement as set forth
in this Section 3.2(b) or Section 3.2(c); provided, however, that if the failure or
default relates to a dispute contested in good faith by the Defaulting Party, the Non-Defaulting
Party may not terminate this Agreement pending the resolution of such dispute in accordance with
Section 7.7. Such termination shall be effective upon the giving of a written notice of
termination by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party and shall be without prejudice to
any other remedy which may be available to the Non-Defaulting Party against the Defaulting Party.

               (c) Partial Termination. In the event that the Non-Defaulting Party is entitled to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2(b), the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the
following options to partially terminate this Agreement upon the same notice provisions as
specified in Section 3.2(b):

               (i) if the default relates to the payment for a Service, Seller may terminate
this Agreement as to the provision of that Service to Buyer, but continue this
Agreement in all other respects; or

               (ii) if the default relates to the provision of a Service, Buyer may
terminate this Agreement as to the provision of that Service by Seller, but
continue this Agreement in all other respects.

          Section 3.3 Effect Of Termination.

               (a) Buyer specifically agrees and acknowledges that all obligations of Seller to provide each
Service for which Seller is responsible hereunder shall immediately cease upon the termination of
this Agreement. Upon the cessation of Seller’s obligation to provide any Service, Buyer shall
immediately cease using, directly or indirectly, such Service (including any and all software of
Seller or third party software

5

 

provided through Seller, telecommunications services or equipment, or computer systems or
equipment).

               (b) Upon termination of a Service with respect to which Seller holds books, records or files,
including current or archived copies of computer files, owned by Buyer and used by Seller in
connection with the provision of a Service to Buyer, Seller will return all such books, records or
files as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that Seller may make a
copy, at its expense, of such books, records or files for archival purposes only.

               (c) Without prejudice to the survival of the other agreements of the parties, the following
obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement: (i) the obligations of each party
under Section 3.3, Section 7.16 and Article VI and (ii) Seller’s right to receive the Service
Charges for the Services provided by it hereunder pursuant to Section 4.1 incurred prior to the
effective date of termination.

ARTICLE IV

COMPENSATION

          Section 4.1 Service Charge.

     Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all reasonable costs and expenses associated with providing
the Services, including without limitation a reasonable allocation of the cost of Seller’s
employees based on a reimbursement of their base salary.

          Section 4.2 Invoicing And Payments.

               (a) Invoices. After the end of each month, Seller, together with its Affiliates
and/or Subsidiaries providing Services, will submit one invoice to Buyer for all Services provided
to Buyer and Buyer’s Subsidiaries by Seller during such month. Such monthly invoices shall be
issued when Seller issues its invoices in the ordinary course of its business. Each invoice shall
include a summary list of the Services together with documentation supporting each of the invoiced
amounts. The total amount set forth on such summary list and such supporting detail shall equal
the invoice total, and shall be provided under separate cover apart from the invoice. All invoices
shall be sent to the attention of Buyer at the address set forth in Section 7.1 or to such other
address as Buyer shall have specified by notice in writing to Seller.

               (b) Payment. Payment of all invoices in respect of the Services shall be made by
check or electronic funds transmission in U.S. Dollars, without any offset or deduction of any
nature whatsoever, within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Invoices unpaid as of such date
shall accrue interest at an annual rate of the lower of (i) two (2) percentage points higher that
the rate equal to the NAT’L AVG of the “Money market ann. Yield” as published in the Wall Street
Journal on the first business day of each applicable month or (ii) the highest possible rate
allowed by applicable law and the number of days elapsed since the date the invoice became due.
All payments shall be made to the account designated by Seller to Buyer, with written confirmation
of payment sent by facsimile to

6

 

Seller or other Person designated thereby. If any payment is not paid when due, Seller shall
have the right, without any liability to Buyer, or anyone claiming by or through Buyer, upon thirty
(30) days’ notice, to cease providing any or all of the Services provided by Seller to Buyer, which
right may be exercised by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion.

          Section 4.3 Taxes.

               (a) To the extent not included directly in the price Seller charges for Services, Buyer shall
pay to Seller the amount of any taxes or charges set forth in clauses (a) through (c) below that
are imposed now or in the future by any Governmental Authority, including any increase in any such
tax or charge imposed on Seller after the date hereof and during the Term of this Agreement:

               (b) Any applicable sales, use, gross receipts, value added or similar tax that is imposed as a
result of, or measured by, any Service rendered hereunder unless covered by an exemption
certificate;

               (c) Any applicable real or personal property taxes, including any special assessments, and any
impositions imposed on Seller in lieu of or in substitution for such taxes on any property used in
connection with any Service rendered hereunder; and

               (d) Any other governmental taxes, duties and/or charges of any kind, excluding any imposed on
Seller that are determined by reference to net income, which Seller is required to pay with respect
to any Service rendered hereunder.

          Section 4.4 Disputed Amounts.

     In the event Buyer disputes the accuracy of any invoice, Buyer shall pay the undisputed
portion of such invoice and the parties hereto shall promptly meet and seek to resolve the disputed
amount of the invoice. If Buyer fails to pay any undisputed amount owed under this Agreement,
Buyer shall correct such failure promptly following notice of the failure, and shall pay Seller
interest on the amount paid late at an annual interest rate equal to the lower of (i) two
percentage points higher than the rate equal to the NAT’L AVG of the “Money market ann. yield” as
published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of each applicable month or (ii) the
highest possible rate allowed by applicable law and the number of days since the date the invoice
became due.

ARTICLE V

FORCE MAJEURE

          Section 5.1 Event of Force Majeure.

     Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any interruption of Service or delay or failure to
perform under this Agreement when such interruption, delay or failure results from causes beyond
its reasonable control including, but not limited to: (a) acts of God, the elements, epidemics,
explosions, accidents, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms (including but not limited
to tornadoes and hurricanes or tornado and hurricane

7

 

warnings), sinkholes, floods, or washouts; (b) labor shortage or trouble including strikes or
injunctions; (c) inability to obtain material, equipment or transportation; or (d) national defense
requirements, war, blockades, insurrections, sabotage, riots, arrests and restraints of the
government, either federal or state, civil or military (including any governmental taking by

“Receiving Party”) will not use such information for any purpose other than for which it
was disclosed and, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, shall not disclose to third
parties any Confidential Information for a period of five (5) years from the termination or
expiration of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall view, access and use only such
Confidential Information of the disclosing party as is necessary to provide or receive Services
hereunder, as applicable, and shall not attempt to view, access or use any other Confidential
Information of the disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party’s
obligation hereunder shall not apply to information that:

               (i) is already in the Receiving Party’s possession at the time of disclosure
thereof;

13

 

               (ii) is or subsequently becomes part of the public domain through no action

               (iii) is subsequently received by the Receiving Party from a third party

Confidential Information.

Receiving Party:

               (i) to the Receiving Party’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
agents (including, in the case of the Service Provider, any third parties engaged
to provide the Services), auditors, consultants and financial advisers
(collectively, “Agents”); provided that the Receiving Party
ensures that such Agents comply with this Section 17; and

               (ii) as required by Applicable Law; provided that, if permitted by
law, written notice of such requirement shall be given promptly to the other party
so that it may take reasonable actions to avoid and minimize the extent of such
disclosure, and the Receiving Party shall cooperate with the other party as
reasonably requested by the other party in connection with such actions.

               (c) If, at any time, any party determines that another party has disclosed, or sought to
disclose, Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, that any unauthorized personnel
of another party has accessed Confidential Information, or that any other party or any of its
personnel has engaged in activities that may lead or leads to the unauthorized access to, use of,
or disclosure of such party’s Confidential Information, such party shall immediately terminate any
such personnel’s access to the Confidential Information and immediately notify such other party.
In addition, any party shall have the right to deny personnel of any other party access to such
party’s Confidential Information upon notice to such other party in the event that such party
reasonably believes that such personnel pose a security concern. Each party will cooperate with
the other parties in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to or use of such party’s
Confidential Information.

contain supplementary information not specifically required under the Agreement, such supplementary

of any item hereunder shall not be deemed an admission by Seller that such item is, or may at
anytime be or have been, material to Seller, or any of the Entities, or the transactions

Adverse Effect, nor shall it be deemed an admission of an obligation or liability to any third

Representations with Respect to Environmental Matters

CMS Bay Area Pipeline, LLC entered into a Stipulation For Entry of Final Order By Consent Agreement
(“Stipulation Agreement”) ADQ No. 19-2003, effective June 23, 2003 with the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”). The subject of the Stipulation Agreement was an alleged violation
of PTI No. 16-00 for excessive NOx emissions. CMS Bay Area Pipeline, LLC has been, to the best of
Seller’s knowledge, in compliance with all of the operating parameters of the Stipulation
Agreement. Exhibit B of the Stipulation Agreement is an O&M plan for the compressors. Pursuant to
Exhibit B, Scheduled Oil Sampling (SOS) is to occur each time a compressor engine’s oil is changed.
Although the SOS has occurred, there are some instances where the SOS report is unable to be found.
An explicit requirement to maintain the SOS reports does not exist in the Stipulation Agreement;
however, this would not preclude the MDEQ from making that assertion.

CMS Bay Area Pipeline, LLC received an e-mail from Mr. Benjamin Witkopp from the MDEQ on February
9, 2007. In a conversation with Mr. Witkopp on February 8, 2007, Mr. Witkopp asserted he had seen
brown smoke emanating from the two most westerly compressor units (Units 1 & 2) on January 30, 2007
between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. A review of operating and maintenance records along with
interviews of operating personnel has not resulted in any evidence of a potential violation.

Property

The Jackson Pipeline was constructed by a Michigan general partnership between CMS Jackson LLC and
ANR Storage Company pursuant to a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the
Michigan Public Service Commission in 1989 in case no. U-9393. As ANR Storage Company was
responsible for right-of-way acquisition, Seller does not have in its possession copies of all
easements. Seller has provided Buyer with a copy of a legal opinion of counsel to Jackson Pipeline
Company that reflects clear title to the easements for the Jackson Pipeline.

The Litchfield Lateral pipeline is subject to a Lease Agreement between CMS Litchfield LLC and ANR
Pipeline Company dated July 10, 1992
