	 	(a)	The Annual Operating Plan for the first Operating Year following the Restructuring Date will be prepared on or before the Restructuring Date and shall be substantially in the form
set out in Schedule 1. In the event that the Commercial Start Date does not occur on the day immediately after the Restructuring Date, the Parties shall agree such amendments to such Annual Operating Plan as may be reasonable to reflect the revised
Commercial Start Date. If the Parties are unable to agree such amendments, the matter shall be referred to an Expert in accordance with Clause 17. Subsequent Annual Operating Plans shall be determined in accordance with the remaining provisions of
this Clause 5.3. 

  

	 	(b)	No later than two (2) Months in advance of the commencement of each Operating Year (except for the first Operating Year), the Parties shall meet in order to agree the Annual
Operating Plan for such Operating Year in accordance with this Clause 5.3. 

  

	 	(c)	The summary of the anticipated operating regime of the Station shall be agreed between the Parties as an informal indication of their mutual understanding for the relevant Operating
Year, provided that if they are unable to agree such summary, then, notwithstanding Clause 5.2(a), it shall be omitted from the Annual Operating Plan. 

  

	 	(d)	The Station Operating Budget shall reflect EPL’s anticipated Operating and Maintenance Costs for the relevant Operating Year (and each of the two (2) subsequent Operating
Years) which the Parties reasonably estimate will be included in the EPL Annual Accounts for such Operating Year (and each of the two (2) subsequent Operating Years). 

  

	 	(e)	If the Parties fail to agree the Station Operating Budget by no later than thirty (30) Days prior to the first Business Day of the relevant Operating Year, they shall refer the
matter to an Expert in accordance with Clause 17. Pending such determination, the Station Operating Budget for the previous Operating Year shall be adopted for such Operating Year. 

  

	 	(f)	The Capital Investment Works Allowance, the Planned Maintenance Allowance, and the Unplanned Outages Allowance for each Unit in any Operating Year shall, in each case, be the best
estimate of the Parties (or, in the absence of agreement, of BEPET acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator) of the number of Half Hour Periods attributable to Capital Investment Works, Planned Maintenance and Unplanned Outages, as the case may
be, in respect of each Unit in that Operating Year. 

  

 - 18 - 

	 	(g)	The Target Annual Station Availability in respect of any Operating Year shall be the aggregate of the Target Annual Unit Availability of all Units in such Operating Year, determined

 Where: 
  

					
	TAUA	  	=	  	the Target Annual Unit Availability in MWh of such Unit;
			
	MGC	  	=	  	the Maximum Generating Capacity in MW of such Unit; and
			
	OHHP	  	=	  	the total number of Operating Half Hour Periods in respect of such Unit in such Operating Year (calculated as the total number of Half Hour Periods in such Operating Year less the aggregate of
the Planned Maintenance Allowance, the Capital Investment Works Allowance and the Unplanned Outages Allowance for such Unit in such Operating Year).

  

	 	(h)	For the purposes of Clause 5.3(g), the Maximum Generating Capacity of each Unit shall be as set out in the table in Paragraph 3 of Schedule 1, provided always that if at any time
either Party considers the then prevailing Maximum Generating Capacity of any Unit to be inaccurate, such Maximum Generating Capacity shall be tested and agreed between the Parties or, in default of such agreement, determined by the Expert in
accordance with Clause 17. 

  

	 	(i)	The Planned Maintenance to be undertaken by EPL during the relevant Operating Year (and each of the two (2) subsequent Operating Years) shall be the best estimate of the Parties
(or, in the absence of agreement, of BEPET acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator) of such works, prepared on an annual rolling basis from the corresponding information set out in the previous Annual Operating Plan. 

  

	 	(j)	The timing and duration of Seasons and the designation of Working Days and Non-Working Days shall be the best estimate of the Parties (or, in the absence of agreement, of BEPET
acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator) prepared on an annual rolling basis from the corresponding information set out in the previous Annual Operating Plan. 

  

	 	(k)	BEPET shall no later than thirty (30) Days prior to the first Day of the relevant Operating Year, acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator and in the context of BEPET’s
overall trading portfolio and the then prevailing wholesale electricity market conditions, determine the timing of the Planned Maintenance. 

  

 - 19 - 

	5.4	Variation of Annual Operating Plan  

  

	 	(a)	In the event that either Party considers at any time that a revision to the then prevailing Annual Operating Plan is necessary or desirable, the Parties shall meet to discuss the
matter in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject always to Clause 5.4(b), an agreed Annual Operating Plan shall not be varied without the written agreement of both Parties. 

  

	 	(b)	BEPET shall, acting in accordance with the standards of a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, be entitled during any Operating Year to vary the timing and/or duration of the Planned
Maintenance determined by it in accordance with Clause 5.3(k)). If and to the extent that any such variation results directly in EPL incurring increased (or reduced) Operating and Maintenance Costs, then EPL shall use its reasonable endeavours to
minimise such increases (or maximise such reductions) and BEPET shall indemnify EPL for any such increase in Operating and Maintenance Costs. 

  

	5.5	Timing of Planned Maintenance  

  
 EPL shall, in respect of each Unit in each Operating Year, use reasonable endeavours to ensure that: 
  

	 	(a)	the Planned Maintenance is carried out at the times specified by BEPET in accordance with Clause 5.3(k) as may be varied from time to time in accordance with Clause 5.4(b); and

  

	 	(b)	the timing of capital investment works (including Capital Investment Works) on a Unit overlaps as far as possible with Planned Maintenance on such Unit. 

  

	5.6	Instructions and Notifications 

  

	 	(a)	No later than the Wednesday (or, where such Wednesday is not a Business Day, the last Business Day before such Wednesday) immediately preceding the commencement of each seven (7)
day period, EPL shall notify BEPET of its good faith best estimate of the availability of each Unit for each Half Hour Period of such seven (7) day period and of the seven (7) day period following thereafter (and, for the purposes of this Clause
5.6(a), each seven (7) day period shall be deemed to commence on a Saturday). 

  

	 	(b)	No later than 1700 hours on the Friday (or, where such Friday is not a Business Day, the last Business Day before such Friday) immediately preceding the commencement of each seven
(7) day period, BEPET will instruct EPL in relation to: 

  

	 	(i)	the sulphur content and other specifications of coal that is Approved Fuel; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the details of any other Approved Fuel, 

  

 - 20 - 

 in each case, to be burned during such seven (7) day period (and, for the purposes of this Clause 5.6(b),
each seven (7) day period shall be deemed to commence on a Monday). 
  

	 	(c)	No later than 0800 hours on each Day, EPL shall deliver a completed Profile Notice to BEPET in respect of the Day following immediately thereafter. Where a Profile Notice is not
received prior to 0800 hours on a Day, in respect of the Day following immediately thereafter, the previous Profile Notice submitted in accordance with this Clause 5.6(c) shall be deemed to have been resubmitted. Where more than one Profile Notice
is submitted prior to 0800 hours on a Day, the latest shall be the Profile Notice in respect of the Day following immediately thereafter. 

  

	 	(d)	EPL shall be entitled at any time after delivery of a Profile Notice in accordance with Clause 5.6(c) to reduce the availability of any Unit in respect of such Half Hour Period as
set out in such Profile Notice and such Profile Notice shall be deemed to have been amended accordingly for the purposes of this Agreement. EPL shall promptly notify BEPET of any such reduction in the availability of any Unit.

  

	 	(e)	EPL acknowledges that the timing for delivery of weekly notifications and daily Profile Notices set out in Clauses 5.6(a) to 5.6(c) inclusive respectively reflect BEPET’s
reasonable requirements for good faith best estimates of short-term availability in the context of the Industry Documents prevailing at the date of this Agreement and EPL agrees that such timing shall be varied at any time at BEPET’s reasonable
request to accommodate any corresponding changes to the prevailing Industry Documents from time to time. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree such variation, the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination in accordance with
Clause 17. 

  

	5.7	Constraints on BEPET 

  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, EPL shall not be required to operate the Station in accordance with BEPET’s instructions:

	 	(b)	either Party has paid any amount in respect of VAT pursuant to Clause 12.3, and HM Customs & Excise subsequently determine in writing to the Payee that such amount was in excess

difference if and to the extent that it is able to obtain a refund (whether by way of credit or repayment) from HM Customs & Excise in respect of the amount which it is required to account, or the VAT it has accounted, to them as aforesaid, and
in such a case, the Payee shall (unless the parties are able to rely on the practice set out in section 18.2.1 of VAT Notice 700 (April 2002 edition)) use its reasonable endeavours to obtain such a refund and shall only be obliged to repay such

(acting as agent) in accordance with section 47 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994, a sum equal to the proportion of the VAT Element (as notified by the Reimbursed Party to the Payer) that such Reimbursed Party is not entitled to recover (by way of
credit or repayment) from HM Customs & Excise (such amount so notified to be subject to review by an independent VAT auditor at the request of the Payer); and 

  

	 	(b)	to the extent that such reimbursement or indemnity is in respect of a disbursement (within the meaning of VAT Notice 700) made by such Reimbursed Party as agent for the Payer,
except where the relevant supply has been made to such 

  

 - 32 - 

 Reimbursed Party (acting as agent) in accordance with section 47 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994, such
amount as equals the whole of the VAT Element, 
  
 and where a

	 	(b)	a material provision of this Agreement becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 

  
 (in each case, a “Relevant Event”), with the effect that it becomes impossible to give effect to this
Agreement, the provisions of this Clause 19 shall apply. 
  

	19.2	Negotiation of New Agreement  

  

	 	(a)	Promptly upon a Party becoming aware of the occurrence or potential occurrence of a Relevant Event, each Party shall use its reasonable endeavours to negotiate in good faith and
settle within thirty (30) Days an agreement which as closely as possible reflects the financial and commercial intent of the Parties under this Agreement, and which (in the case of a Relevant Event described in Clause 19.1(a)) reflects the impact of
the Relevant Event. 

  

	 	(b)	The term of the new agreement shall: 

  

	 	(i)	commence on the date on which a new agreement is settled in accordance with this Clause 19; and 

  

	 	(ii)	terminate on the Expiry Date. 

  

	 	(c)	Pending execution of the new agreement the Parties shall make such payments to each other as will ensure that each Party receives the net equivalent of the payments which would have
been due to it hereunder in respect of each Month had the Relevant Event not occurred and, if the amount of such payments has not been agreed or determined prior to the date of the Relevant Event, the Parties will make such adjustments between
themselves as will ensure that the Parties are in the same overall net financial position as they would have been in had the amount of such payments been agreed or determined prior to the Relevant Date. 

  

 - 38 - 

	19.3	Expert Determination 

  

	 	(a)	If the Parties fail to agree any matter requiring agreement between them under this Clause 19, either party may refer such matter to an Expert for resolution in accordance with the
provisions of Clause 17. 

  

	 	(b)	Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement and for the purposes only of an Expert determination under this Clause 19, the Parties hereby acknowledge that their
financial and commercial intent under this Agreement is that: 

  

	 	(i)	subject to and to the extent of EPL:

	 	26.1.2	those Employees who are in contributing service under the BECG immediately before the Option Completion Date shall continue in contributing service under the BECG on the same terms
from the Option Completion Date (although this shall not be construed so as to prevent the Buyer from subsequently providing benefits applicable under the BECG for the Employees under a different arrangement);

	26.3	From the Option Completion Date, the Buyer shall indemnify, and keep indemnified, the Seller on demand against each loss, liability and/or cost which the Seller incurs, or which is
asserted against or demanded from the Seller, under or in relation to the BECG as a result of the Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations under Clause 26.1 and each loss, liability and/or cost incurred as a result of defending or
settling a claim alleging such a liability. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

  

	26.4	From the Option Completion Date, the Seller shall indemnify, and keep indemnified, the Buyer on demand against each loss, liability and/or cost which the Buyer incurs, or which is

	29.1	After the Option Time, the Buyer and the Seller shall use reasonable endeavours (each at their own cost and expense) to have the Environmental Permits transferred or novated to the

completion) of the Option, paid stamp duty in respect of this Agreement or has accounted for stamp duty land tax in respect of the grant of the Option, the Seller will within 10 Business Days reimburse to the Buyer the amount of such stamp duty or
(as the case may be) stamp duty land tax. If the Seller so requests, the Buyer will use all reasonable endeavours to assist the Seller to minimise the stamp duty or stamp duty land tax due on the grant of the Option. For the avoidance of doubt, all
stamp duty or stamp duty land tax due in respect of the exercise of the Option or Completion shall be paid by the Buyer and will not be reimbursed by the Seller. If the Buyer so requests, the Seller will use all reasonable endeavours to assist the
Buyer to minimise the stamp duty or stamp duty land tax due on exercise of the Option.

value; (b) to assets in respect of which expenditure is eligible for capital allowances under Part 2 Capital Allowances Act 2001 - not less than £50,000,000 but provided it is not less than £50,000,000, such amount as shall ensure the
Seller neither suffers a balancing charge nor obtains a balancing allowance in respect of the disposal; and (c) to other assets - such amount as the Seller proposes and that ensures the Seller neither makes taxable revenue profit nor incurs an
allowable revenue loss in respect of the disposal. The Seller shall ensure any election as referred to in Clause 30.2 or apportionment under Clause 7.2 or 8.2 shall be consistent with this Clause 30.3. The Seller will deliver a draft allocation of
consideration for the Business and Station Assets to the Buyer and give the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review it before delivering a final allocation. The Buyer may make representations to the Seller as to the draft allocation of the
consideration and the Seller shall adjust the allocation as required by the Buyer before producing a final allocation provided that such 

  

	****	indicates material omitted and filed separately with the Commission. 

  
 33 

 
revised allocation can properly be made and does not give rise to any Tax liability for the Seller greater than that (if any) in the Seller’s original
allocation.

	31.1	From the Option Completion Date, the Buyer shall be responsible for the giving of any cash collateral, financial or other guarantee, indemnity, undertaking or bond (as the case may

be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any deduction or withholding, the party to whom such amount is payable (including an Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties) receives a sum equal to the sum it would have
received had no deduction or withholding been made. 

  

	32.3	If a payment under this Agreement will be or has been subject to Tax, the Buyer or the Seller (as the case may be) making such payment shall pay to the party to whom such amount is
payable (including an Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties) the amount (after taking into account Tax payable in respect of the amount) that will ensure that the party to whom such amount is payable (including an Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Parties) receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had the payment not been subject to Tax.

Event. 

  

	36.	POST-COMPLETION OBLIGATIONS 

  

	36.1	For three (3) years starting on the Option Completion Date, the Buyer shall, or if is not the Transferee, shall procure that the Transferee shall, allow the Seller, its employees
