ARTICLE V: MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION

5.1. Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduling Procedure.

Subject to subsection (b) below, Seller shall submit to Buyer a schedule of maintenance of the Facilities (each, a "Maintenance Schedule" and each item thereon a "Scheduled Maintenance Outage") for each Calendar Year and a projection of scheduled outages for the following four years thereafter no later than twelve (12) months before the beginning of any year (or not later than three (3) months prior to the deadline for submittal of any such schedule to the Transmission Provider or any other applicable Governing Authority, if earlier); except that within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall submit to Buyer a Maintenance Schedule for the remainder of the Calendar Year in which the Effective Date occurs and for the following Calendar Year. Each Maintenance Schedule shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 5.1(b).

Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Maintenance Schedule, Buyer may request reasonable modifications therein to the extent the requested modifications are not contrary to Prudent Utility Practice. Subject to subsection (b) below, Buyer and Seller shall work together to schedule Scheduled Maintenance Outages to meet their mutual requirements and the requirements of the Transmission Provider and/or Transmission Owner, it being understood that Buyer shall consider, among other things, its reserve requirements, energy delivery commitments, costs of replacement power and other generating resources and expected loads in requesting such reasonable modifications; provided, that in the event of a disagreement, such scheduling shall be resolved by the Administrative Committee. All Scheduled Maintenance Outages shall be of a duration that is no longer than that reasonably necessary to carry out the required maintenance activities. Seller shall provide notice to Buyer as soon as practicable but in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the expected cessation of maintenance activities and shall promptly inform Buyer of the completion of such activities.

Scheduled Maintenance Outages for the subsequent three (3) year period of the Maintenance Schedule may only be rescheduled within a period of time from 30 days prior to the projected start of such Scheduled Maintenance Outage to 30 days after the projected end of such Scheduled Maintenance Outage; provided, however, that no Scheduled Maintenance Outage in such subsequent three (3) year period may be rescheduled so that all or any portion of such Scheduled Maintenance Outage falls within a different Calendar Year; and provided, further, that if Seller experiences an extended Unscheduled Outage and desires to move a Scheduled Maintenance Outage into a prior or subsequent Calendar Year, any such rescheduling shall require the consent of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld.

Limitations on Scheduled Maintenance Outages

Scheduled Maintenance Outages may not occur during the Peak Period.

5.2. Derate Notices

In the event of any Derate, Seller must notify the Dispatch Authority Function and the Balancing Authority Function telephonically of such Derate as soon as practicable after Seller becomes aware of the necessity or occurrence thereof (each, a "Derate Notice"), with written confirmation within 24 hours of such oral notice. During any ongoing Derate, Seller shall provide updates as often as practicable, but no less than daily, to the Dispatch Authority Function of the nature and expected duration of such Derate as well as the magnitude and timing of actual and expected output changes of the Facilities and such other information as may assist Buyer in assessing the reliability and expected quantity of output from the Facilities, and Seller shall provide the Dispatch Authority Function with oral notice (confirmed promptly by email or facsimile) as much prior notice as practicable of when the Derate is expected to be remedied.

5.3.Operation

Operation

Seller shall manage, control, operate and maintain all parts of the Facilities in a manner consistent with Prudent Utility Practice and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Interconnection Agreement. As between the Parties, Seller shall bear the sole responsibility for complying with all applicable Laws associated with operating the Facilities, including all environmental, permitting and zoning requirements in effect during the Term of this Agreement.

Communications Protocol

Seller and Buyer have developed, or will develop within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Date, written communications procedures for the Facilities (the "Communications Protocol"), which include processes related to Seller's interface with MISO, ATC, ERO and other Governing Authorities, operating communications between and among the Dispatch Authority Function and the Balancing Authority Function and testing procedures. The Communications Protocol is deemed incorporated herein by this reference.

The Communications Protocol shall be reviewed by the Administrative Committee no less than annually and any mutually agreed changes shall be made. In the event the Parties are unable to agree upon any changes to the Communications Protocol, such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedures.

Authorizations

Seller shall, at its own expense, acquire and maintain, comply with and, as necessary, renew and modify from time to time, any and all permits, licenses, approvals and other Authorizations of any Governing Authority required for the lawful operation and maintenance of the Facilities. Copies of said Authorizations shall be made available to Buyer for review upon Buyer's written request. Buyer shall not be liable for any violation by Seller of any Authorization required to be obtained by Seller pursuant to this Section 5.3(c).

Testing

Notice of Testing

Seller shall notify Buyer in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the expected date of any Performance Test or any other testing of the net capability of the Facilities (including for any Uprate); provided, that Seller may postpone any such test until such test is able to be performed with prior written notice to Buyer of such postponement and of the date and time such test is actually to be performed. Buyer may have a representative present at the time of each Performance Test, although the failure to have such a representative present shall not invalidate the result of the applicable test; provided, that the above required notices were given.

Performance Tests

Seller shall perform (A) a performance test each year, on a date mutually agreed by the Parties, at Seller's expense, which shall measure the net capability of the Facilities (including the CT and any Uprate) and (B) a performance test as soon as practicable, consistent with the MAIN Guide No. 3A Standards, (I) prior to the outage during which an Uprate is performed but prior to any coastdown and (II) following start-up from an outage during which an Uprate is performed (each, a "Performance Test"). In addition to the required Performance Test, either Party may request a Performance Test at any reasonable time, at the expense of the Party requesting such test. All Performance Tests shall be conducted in accordance with testing procedures (A) to confirm the Accredited Capacity constituting Buyer's Capacity Amount (pursuant to Transmission Provider requirements) or (B) as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the execution of this Agreement the current Performance Test standards are the MAIN Guide No. 3A Standards.

Other Operations Obligations

Information Requirements

Seller shall provide Buyer with the following real-time telemetered data (scanned no less frequently than once every four seconds) for the duration of the Term: (A) net Unit output (MW and VARs), (B) status (i.e., open or closed) of generator breakers and generator disconnect switches, (C) MW and VARs at each metering point, and (D) transformer neutral currents. Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of any scheduling notices or requests submitted to the Transmission Provider concurrently with the submission thereof. In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer with any other information Buyer may reasonably request regarding the operation of the Facilities in order to allow Buyer to maintain reliability for Buyer's Network Load.

SCADA Data

Seller shall provide and make available to Buyer, on a real-time basis, all data generated by the SCADA system at the Facilities, including all four-second meter data.

Quality of Energy

All Energy delivered hereunder shall be three-phase, 60 Hertz (plus or minus variations as may be required or allowed by the Transmission Provider), alternating current, at a voltage acceptable to the Transmission Provider, or shall otherwise comply with such other specifications of the Transmission Provider, regional reliability council or other authority responsible for the safety and reliability of the electric grid with authority over the Delivery Point as may be in effect at the time of delivery.

Seller shall provide Buyer with the right to enter Seller's premises at the Facilities during normal business hours to (i) review records maintained pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) obtain information regarding operation of the Facilities, (iii) visually inspect the Facilities, (iv) observe the testing, operation and maintenance of the Facilities and (v) undertake any other activities reasonably necessary for Buyer to fulfill its rights and obligations hereunder. Buyer shall provide prior written notice to Seller of the date and time of such proposed entry and the identity of all Persons conducting such entry, which prior written notice shall in no event be provided less than three Business Days prior to the date of such entry. Seller shall schedule Buyer's entries upon Seller's premises at the Facilities so as to minimize any disruption of the operation of the Facilities due to such entries or to any activities carried out by Buyer at the Facilities during any such entry. Each such Person conducting any such entry shall observe and comply with all of Seller's applicable safety and security rules at all times during such entry, as such rules shall have been presented to such Person by Seller or by any operator on behalf of Seller prior to or at the time of such visit.

Buyer shall be permitted to inspect such operating log upon prior written request during normal business hours and copies of such log shall be provided, if requested, at Buyer's expense, within ten (10) days of such request.

Interconnection

As between the Parties, Seller shall be responsible to maintain and operate Seller's electric interconnection facilities in accordance with the Interconnection Agreement. Seller shall not permit any action or inaction under the Interconnection Agreement that could adversely affect Buyer's rights, benefits, liability or obligations under this Agreement and shall not consent to (unless required by a Governing Authority) any modification of the Interconnection Agreement that would adversely affect Buyer's rights hereunder without Buyer's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, subject to any prohibitions of a Governing Authority, Seller shall:

(A) promptly advise Buyer of all communications and notices to be made by or to Seller under the Interconnection Agreement; and

(B) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Transmission Owner's and/or Transmission Provider's planned maintenance schedules for the transmission system are coordinated with the Scheduled Maintenance Outages for the Facilities.

ARTICLE VI: METERING

6.1. Metering

The electric watt-hour meters and any other Energy measuring devices and equipment used for purposes of this Agreement ("Metering Devices"), shall at all times during the Term meet the requirements set by the Transmission Provider and all applicable Governing Authorities and as set forth in the Interconnection Agreement. Seller shall own, operate, maintain and replace Metering Devices, including those Metering Devices shown on Exhibit D, sufficient to permit an accurate determination of the quantity and time of delivery of Energy delivered to the Delivery Point. Seller's Metering Devices shall be used for measurements under this Agreement. Seller shall calibrate the Metering Devices in accordance with Prudent Utility Practice, but no less than once during each refueling outage on the Maintenance Schedule. Buyer or Buyer's representative shall have the right to be present during any calibration of the Metering Devices and Seller shall provide reasonable notice to Buyer of any such calibration.
The Buyer shall have the right to inspect and require a test of the Metering Devices (to be performed by Seller) from time to time at its discretion, and any inaccuracy disclosed by such tests shall be promptly corrected. If errors greater than one-half of one percent (0.5%) are discovered, the test shall be at Seller's expense. Upon reasonable notice, Seller shall provide the Buyer access to the Metering Devices at Buyer's expense during normal business hours and from time to time for the purposes of reading, inspecting and witnessing any testing of such equipment.

If any Metering Device used to determine the amount of Delivered Energy is found to be in error by more than three quarters of one percent (0.75%), the payments for Delivered Energy made since the previous test of such Metering Device shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected measurements determined pursuant to this Article VI. The amount of such adjustment payment shall be equal to the total adjustment that would be due if the inaccurate Metering Device were deemed to be equally inaccurate during the entire period since the previous test of such Metering Device, divided by two (2); provided, however, that if the period of inaccuracy can be ascertained, then the Parties shall adjust the payments for Delivered Energy for that ascertained period of inaccuracy. Any amount payable as a result of such correction shall be paid to the Party entitled to such payment within thirty (30) days of notice of such correction.

ARTICLE VII: BILLING AND PAYMENT

7.1. Billing and Payment

Seller shall send a billing statement to Buyer on or before the tenth (10^th) day after the end of each Billing Cycle. If any net amount is due to Seller with respect to any such billing statement, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of such billing statement. If any net amount is due to Buyer with respect to any such billing statement, Seller shall pay such amount to Buyer on or before the fifteenth (15^th) day after the end of such Billing Cycle. The billing statement shall show (i) the megawatt-hours of Delivered Energy for such Billing Cycle as Scheduled by the Seller and confirmed by the Buyer pursuant to Exhibit H; (ii) the amounts due Seller for that Billing Cycle in respect of (A) the Delivered Energy Payment and (B) any other amounts due to Seller hereunder; (iii) the amounts due Buyer for that Billing Cycle in respect of (A) the Peak Adjustment Payment, if applicable, (unless Buyer makes the election provided for in Exhibit G) and (B) any other amounts due to Buyer hereunder; and (iv) the data reasonably pertinent to the calculation of the payments due to Seller or Buyer. For purposes of billing for Replacement Capacity and Replacement Energy, the Capacity of the resources providing Replacement Capacity and Replacement Energy shall be determined in accordance with Module E, such determination to be submitted by Seller to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.4. Any amounts due and payable and not paid by the due date will be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest at the Prime Rate, such interest to be calculated from and including the due date to but excluding the date the delinquent amount is paid in full.

In the event of a dispute as to the amount of any xxxx, the disputing Party shall notify the other Party of the amount in dispute and Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall pay to the other Party the undisputed portion of the xxxx on or prior to the due date therefor, as identified in Section 7.1(a). Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall pay, with an interest charge computed at the Prime Rate, from and including the date payment was due to but excluding the date payment is made, any portion of the disputed amount ultimately found to be proper. In the event of a refund, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall pay, with an interest charge computed at the Prime Rate, from and including the date the disputed payment was made to but excluding the date the refund payment is made, any refund amount ultimately found to be due to the other Party.

Neither the Buyer nor Seller shall have the right to challenge any billing statement rendered or received hereunder after a period of the longer of (A) two (2) years from the date such statement was rendered or (B) ten (10) days after the last MISO settlement statement for the last Operating Day included in the billing statement. In the event that any such billing statement depends in whole or in part upon estimated data, this two (2) year limitation period shall be deemed to begin on the first day of the Billing Cycle in which such estimated data is adjusted to actual.

Each Party reserves to itself all rights, setoffs, counterclaims, recoupment, combination of accounts, liens and other remedies, rights and defenses which

29

such Party has or may be entitled to (whether by operation of law or in equity, under contract or otherwise). The obligations of each Party to make payments under this Agreement may be offset against each other, setoff or recouped therefrom.

Buyer gives Seller prompt written notice, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the day that Buyer obtains actual knowledge thereof, describing the particulars of the event of, and how such event qualifies as a, Force Majeure;

the permitted suspension of performance is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is required by the event of Force Majeure and the effects thereof; and

Buyer exercises its reasonable best efforts to eliminate or mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure condition.

9.3. Burden of Proof

The burden of proof as to whether a Force Majeure has occurred shall be upon the Party claiming Force Majeure.

9.4. Payment and Security Obligations Not Excused

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no payment obligation arising under this Agreement prior to the date of an event of Force Majeure, and no obligation to provide Buyer Performance Security or Seller Performance Security, as applicable, shall be excused by such event of Force Majeure.

9.5. Time Limits

If at any time during the period of Force Majeure the non-performing Party fails to undertake or ceases undertaking its reasonable best efforts to remedy its inability to perform, then the non-performing Party shall no longer be excused from its performance.

Seller shall, within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of a Force Majeure affecting Seller's performance under this Agreement that Seller reasonably anticipates will last more than twelve (12) months after the commencement thereof, deliver to Buyer a detailed plan for the remedy of the Force Majeure condition, which plan shall include a detailed specification of Seller's proposal (including a timetable) to remedy the Force Majeure condition and restore the Facilities to maximum attainable operating status.

If an event of Force Majeure has prevented Seller from performing all, or a significant portion of, its material obligations under this Agreement for a period of eighteen (18) months, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller.

ARTICLE X: EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

10.1. List of Events of Default

Each of the following events, unless and to the extent expressly excused under the terms of this Agreement, shall constitute an "Event of Default" of the defaulting party ("Defaulting Party"), the other Party being the non-defaulting party ("Non-Defaulting Party"):

The failure of a Party to make any undisputed payment due hereunder and such failure shall continue for five (5) Business Days after written notice demanding such payment is received.

Any representation or warranty made by a Party herein or in any certificate or other document delivered by such Party pursuant hereto was false or misleading in any material respect when made, unless such false or misleading representation or warranty is capable of being cured or remedied and (i) the representation and warranty is contained in Sections 11.1(a) and 11.2(a) hereof and such Party shall promptly commence and diligently pursue action to cause such representation and warranty to become true in all material respects within two (2) Business Days or (ii) as to any other representation or warranty such Party shall promptly commence and diligently pursue action to cause such representation or warranty to become true in all material respects and does so within thirty (30) days after notice thereof has been given to such Party by the other Party.

In the event that within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any proceeding against a Party seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any other statute or Law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within thirty (30) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of such Party of any trustee, receiver, custodian or liquidator of such Party or of all or any substantial part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise, or if, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such stay, such appointment shall not have been vacated.
A Party fails to comply or cause compliance with the Seller Performance Security or Buyer Performance Security, as applicable, requirements of Article VIII, or

33

Buyer's Guarantor, if any, or Seller's Guarantor, if any, breaches any of its obligations under the Buyer's Guaranty or Seller's Guaranty, as applicable, or if any representation or warranty made by Buyer's Guarantor or Seller's Guarantor, as applicable, in the Buyer's Guaranty or Seller's Guaranty, as applicable, shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect when made, unless any of the foregoing is cured by the end of the next Business Day following receipt of a written notice from the other Party of a failure under this Section 10.1(e).

The failure of Seller to provide the Buyer's employees, agents and other representatives reasonable access to witness testing of or to examine the Metering Devices after receiving notice to do so by the Buyer as required under this Agreement.

Seller, or any of its employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents or representatives willfully adjusts the Metering Devices or the interconnection facilities without Buyer's written consent and which adjustment has the effect of falsely increasing the amounts owed by Buyer under this Agreement.

A Party violates the requirements of Article XVIII through an attempted or purported assignment or transfer of this Agreement or an ownership interest in the Facilities or through a Change of Control transaction or breach of the terms and conditions of Section 2.10.

A material default in performance or observance of any agreement, undertaking, covenant or other obligation (other than as specified in the other provisions of this Section 10.1) contained in this Agreement by a Party unless, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the other Party specifying the nature of such material default, such Party cures such default or, if such cure cannot reasonably be completed within thirty (30) days and if such Party within such thirty (30) day period commences, and thereafter diligently and continuously proceeds to cure such default, said period shall be extended for such further period as shall be necessary for such Party diligently and continuously to cure such default, provided that the extended cure period shall not exceed ninety (90) days from the date of the original notice.

10.2.Remedies

If an Event of Default occurs at any time during the Term, the Non-Defaulting Party may, for so long as the Event of Default is continuing, subject to the provisions of Article XIX, take one or more of the following actions: (i) establish a date (which date shall be no more than ten (10) Business Days after the Non-Defaulting Party delivers written notice of such date to the Defaulting Party) on which this Agreement shall terminate (the "Early Termination Date"), (ii) proceed by appropriate proceedings in accordance with this Agreement at law, in equity or otherwise, to protect and enforce its right to damages (actual or liquidated) or, where the Event of Default is one other than the failure to pay money, equitable relief, including specific performance, and (iii) immediately cease performance or withhold any payments, or both, due in respect of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, in the event the Non-Defaulting Party ceases performance or withholds payment as provided in (iii) above, the Defaulting Party shall continue to be obligated to pay damages relating to the Defaulting Party's failure to perform during such cessation or period of withholding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) with respect to Buyer has occurred and is continuing, Seller may offer and sell Energy and Ancillary Services from the Facilities to any third party until such time as the Buyer can resume performance under this Agreement. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied as an offset to amounts otherwise owed by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement.

10.3. Rights of Specific Performance

In the case of an Event of Default, the Parties recognize that any remedy at law may be inadequate because this Agreement is unique and/or because the actual damages of the Non-Defaulting Party may be difficult to reasonably ascertain and/or may exceed the amount of any guaranty or other collateral available to the Non-Defaulting Party. Therefore, the Parties agree that the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to pursue an action for specific performance, and the Defaulting Party waives all of its rights to assert as a defense to such action that the Non-Defaulting Party's remedy at law is adequate.

10.4. Limitation of Liability

THE PARTIES CONFIRM THAT THE EXPRESS REMEDIES AND MEASURES OF DAMAGES PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT SATISFY THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSES HEREOF FOR BREACH OF ANY PROVISION FOR WHICH AN EXPRESS REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGES IS PROVIDED. UNLESS EXPRESSLY HEREIN OTHERWISE PROVIDED, AND EXCEPT FOR THE PAYMENT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SPECIFIED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY NOR THEIR AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS (WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE RECOVERY FOR ACCRUED DELIVERED ENERGY PAYMENTS) OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, BY STATUTE, IN TORT OR CONTRACT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SENTENCE SHALL NOT APPLY (A) TO LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF A PARTY WHOSE ACTIONS GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY CONSTITUTE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR (B) TO ANY INDEMNITY OBLIGATION PROVIDED HEREIN. TO THE EXTENT ANY DAMAGES REQUIRED TO BE PAID HEREUNDER ARE LIQUIDATED, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ACTUAL DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, OTHERWISE OBTAINING AN ADEQUATE REMEDY IS INCONVENIENT, AND THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PENALTY AND ARE A REASONABLE ADVANCE APPROXIMATION OF THE HARM OR LOSS. THE PARTIES FURTHER EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT NEITHER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AND EACH WAIVES ALL RIGHTS, TO BRING AN ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER (INCLUDING ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER) IN TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT(S) OR OMISSIONS CONSTITUTING A BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF CONTRACT.

10.5. Disclaimer of Warranties

NEITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE OTHER PARTY TO

THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE XII: INDEMNITY

12.1. By Seller

Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all costs, expense, damage, liability or loss, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from or arising out of any Claims arising from the failure of Seller to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all loss, damage, expense, costs and liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from any Claims against Buyer arising from injury to or death of Persons or damage to or destruction of property occurring at the Facilities to the extent such injury, death or damage is not caused by the willful misconduct of Buyer, its Affiliates or Associates while on Seller's premises at the Facilities.

12.2. Indemnification by Buyer

Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all loss, damage, expense, costs and liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from or arising out of any Claims arising from the failure of Buyer to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

12.3. Joint Negligence

In the case of joint or concurring negligence or other fault of the Parties giving rise to a loss or Claim against either one or both of them, each shall have rights of contribution against the other Party in proportion to their comparative negligence as determined by the court trying the matter in dispute. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the assertion of any Claim against which such other Party may be required to provide indemnity hereunder and shall give the other Party an opportunity to defend such Claim. These indemnification provisions are for the protection of the Parties hereto only and shall not establish, of themselves, any liability to third parties.

12.4.Responsibility for Employees

The Parties agree that, as between themselves, each Party shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of, and any Claims by, its employees and agents, irrespective of any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for such Party under Workers' Compensation Laws, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to create third party beneficiary rights in any party not a Party to this Agreement. Each Party shall indemnify the other Party from and against all liabilities, Claims, damages, suits, fines or judgments for injury or death to any third party and damage to or destruction of property of any third party, to the extent caused by such Party's employees' or agents' negligence or willful misconduct.

12.5.Notice and Participation

If any Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") intends to seek indemnification under this Article XII from any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") with respect to any Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Claim upon the receipt of actual knowledge or information by the Indemnified Party of any possible Claim or of the commencement of such Claim, which period shall in no event be later than the lesser of (i) fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the last day for responding to such Claim or (ii) one-half of the period allowed for responding to such Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have no liability under this Article XII for any Claim for which such notice is not provided, to the extent that the failure to give such notice prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such Claim, at its sole cost and expense, with counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such Claim include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate

in the defense of such Claim on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Should any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under this Section 12.5 as a result of a Claim, and should the Indemnifying Party fail to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, contest (or, with or without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, settle) such Claim. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, no Indemnified Party shall settle any Claim with respect to which it has sought or intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, no Indemnifying Party shall settle any Claim with respect to which it may be liable to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party has reached a bona fide monetary settlement agreement with the plaintiff(s) in any such Claim and the Indemnified Party does not consent to such settlement agreement, then the dollar amount specified in the settlement agreement, plus the Indemnified Party's legal fees and other costs related to the defense of the Claim prior to the date of such settlement agreement, shall act as an absolute maximum limit on the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party.

12.6. Payment of Indemnification Claims

The Indemnifying Party shall pay any amount due pursuant to this Article XII within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the amount of any such indemnification, to the extent that the existence and entitlement to indemnification is not disputed by the Indemnifying Party, or within ten (10) Business Days after the conclusion of any Dispute Resolution Procedures, to the extent that the existence or entitlement to indemnification is disputed by the Indemnifying Party and is established pursuant to such Dispute Resolution Procedures.

12.7. Survival of Obligation

The duty to indemnify under this Article XII shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, with respect to any loss, liability, damage, claim or other expense based on facts or conditions which occurred prior to such termination.

ARTICLE XIII: TERM

Neither Party shall have any further liability upon the effectiveness of the termination provided above except for those obligations that by their express terms are to survive termination of this Agreement.

The term "Proprietary Information" means all information, written or oral, which has been or is disclosed by the Transferor, or by any Affiliate or Associate of the Transferor, or which otherwise becomes known to the Transferee, or to any Affiliate, Associate or other party in a confidential relationship with, the Transferee, and which (x) relates to matters such as patents, trade secrets, research and development activities, draft or final contracts or other business arrangements, books and records, budgets, cost estimates, pro forma calculations, engineering work product, environmental compliance, vendor lists, suppliers, manufacturing processes, energy consumption, pricing information, private processes, and other similar information, as may exist from time to time, or (y) the Transferor expressly designates in writing to be confidential.

Information obtained by the recipient from a third party having an independent right to disclose the information; or

Information that is available through independent research without use of or access to the Proprietary Information.

Worker's Compensation Insurance with statutory limits as required by the Laws of the State of Wisconsin, and Employer's Liability with minimum limits of $1 million or as established by state or federal Law, if applicable.

Commercial General and Umbrella/Excess Liability insurance, including coverage for (i) premises/operations, (ii) independent contractor, (iii) products and completed operations, (iv) broad form contractual liability, (v) broad form property damage, (vi) explosion, collapse and underground damage exclusion deletion, and (vii) personal injury, all with limits of not less than $25,000,000 each occurrence and in the aggregate.

Business Auto Liability Insurance, covering all vehicles and automobiles whether owned, leased, or rented when used by Seller in connection with performance of this Agreement and including commercially reasonable coverage for each accident of bodily injury and property damage.

Nuclear primary and excess property insurance in the amount that is reasonably consistent with the custom in the commercial nuclear power industry and which, at a minimum, satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(w), currently $1.06 billion.

Nuclear liability insurance from American Nuclear Insurers in accordance with the Price Xxxxxxxx Act until such time as the NRC shall release Seller from this obligation. Should the Price Xxxxxxxx Act be repealed, the Seller shall at its cost, provide insurance or other similar financial protection affording coverage consistent with coverages maintained for other nuclear power plants from the commercial marketplace to the extent such coverage is commercially available and to the extent that such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates. Such insurance shall include, at a minimum, the following policies (as such are in effect for Xxxx 0 and Unit 2 as of the Effective Date):

Seller hereby agrees that the Buyer has an insurable interest in business interruption and extra expense created by the insurable events making power from the plant unavailable. Seller acknowledges that XXXX insurance covers this exposure and agrees that Buyer is entitled to purchase XXXX coverage on its own behalf in an amount up to 5% of the total available limit offered by XXXX; provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to increase such coverage up to a minimum of 10%, but no greater than 25%, of the total available limit offered by XXXX in the event that Buyer's participation in NEIL's non-nuclear insurance program is terminated by XXXX; provided, further, that the amount of coverage which Buyer is entitled to obtain shall be no greater than the amount reasonably necessary to permit Buyer to realize the full benefits of Buyer's XXXX member policyholder percentage.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may self-insure to meet the minimum insurance requirements above to the extent it maintains a self-insurance program; provided that Seller (or its guarantor's) Credit Rating is rated Investment Grade or better and that its self-insurance program meets the above minimum insurance requirements. Self-insurance shall be approved and recognized by the State of Wisconsin for workers compensation and automobile liability. Self-insurance amounts shall not exceed the maximum for each line of coverage or $5 million in the aggregate. For any period of time that Seller (or its guarantor's) does not have an Investment Grade Credit Rating, Seller shall comply with the above minimum insurance requirements.

17.2. Insurance Certificates

On the Effective Date, and thereafter from time to time at the request of Buyer, Seller shall provide certificates of insurance from insurance companies having a Best rating of A minus or better confirming that the insurance coverages required herein are maintained. Such certificates shall provide that Buyer be given thirty (30) days prior written notice by the insurer, or its authorized representative, of any cancellation and ten (10) days' prior written notice due to cancellation for non-payment of premiums for any required coverage provided by such insurer as evidenced by the certificates. In addition, Seller agrees to provide notice to Buyer of any material change in the insurance coverages or policies required hereby.

Once a Permitted Assignee provides such replacement security, any Seller Performance Security provided by Seller/assignor shall be promptly returned to Seller/assignor.

Seller shall also have the right, without the consent of Buyer, to assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Seller, provided that all Seller Performance Security requirements under this Agreement remain satisfied.

Buyer shall have the right, without the consent of Seller, to assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement (A) to an Affiliate of Buyer or an entity that is part of the Wisconsin Energy Group (a "Related Entity"); provided, that such Affiliate or Related Entity is an entity with an Investment Grade Credit Rating or (B) if it shall merge into, be consolidated with, or reorganized pursuant to a divestiture in such a way that the surviving entity is, or on the date of the merger, consolidation, or reorganization, will be bound by all of the obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that if such assignee (or parent or affiliate of such assignee) does not possess an Investment Grade Credit Rating at the time of such assignment, then Buyer, or any Affiliate of Buyer with an Investment Grade Credit Rating, shall provide to Seller a guaranty of assignee's payment obligations under this Agreement.

18.3. Change in Control

Seller covenants and agrees that without the express written consent of Buyer any Change in Control of Seller shall be prohibited; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Person acquiring the control of Seller meets the requirements of a Permitted Assignee, Buyer's consent shall not be required.

Thereupon, each Operating Contact shall in no later than fifteen (15) days prepare and deliver to the Senior Executives and the other Operating Contact a memorandum stating the issues in dispute and their positions, summarizing any negotiations which have taken place and attaching relevant documents.

Moreover, absent agreement of all Parties to a proposed change, the standard of review for changes to any rate, term or condition of this Agreement proposed by a non-Party or the FERC or any other Governing Authority acting sua sponte shall be the "public interest" standard of review set forth in United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Mobile Gas Services Corp., 000 X.X. 000 (1956) and Federal Power Commission v. Sierra Pac Power Co., 350 U.S. 348 (1956).

21.1. Change in Law

In the event there is a change or changes in any Laws or interpretations thereof, enacted or adopted after execution of this Agreement or any Law or interpretation thereof, enacted or adopted after the Effective Date results in the application of any Law to a new or different class of parties (a "Change in Law"), the Party affected by such Change in Law shall be responsible for the burden and, except as provided in Section 21.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall be permitted to retain the benefits of such Change in Law. For the avoidance of doubt, except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be subject to change due to a Change in Law.

21.2. Future Attributes

In the event that, at any time during the Term, a Change in Law occurs that causes any aspect of the Facilities as in existence on the date hereof to become a tradable attribute (e.g., emission credit, renewable energy credit, environmental credit, "Green" credit, etc.) or otherwise to have a market value, Buyer shall be entitled to 100% of such tradable attribute and the benefits of such attribute for the first seven Calendar Years following the Effective Date and thereafter 50% for the remainder of the Term (with the other 50% belonging to Seller), and the Parties shall in good faith negotiate to reflect such allocation to Buyer at no additional cost to Buyer. Seller agrees to execute a separate agreement to transfer to Buyer any revenue, or any other benefit received by Seller for such tradable attributes, and to execute all documents and agreements and take all steps necessary to permit Buyer to market Buyer's tradable attributes. Failing any such agreement, Seller agrees to credit to Buyer such revenues as provided in Section 3.1(b) until such time as an agreement is executed.

21.3. MISO Changes

In the event that, at any time during the Term, the applicable Transmission Provider or Transmission Provider Tariff is changed or if an applicable regional reliability council issues a directive, rule or regulation that materially adversely affects Seller or Buyer so that the benefits and burdens of this Agreement are no longer as contemplated by the original intentions of the Parties, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to reform this Agreement in order to give effect to the original intentions of the Parties regarding the appropriate allocation of benefits and burdens to each Party.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS GUARANTY made as of the ____ day of December, 2006 (the "Guaranty"), from FPL GROUP CAPITAL INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida and having its principal place of business in 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 being hereinafter referred to as the "Guarantor," to Wisconsin Electric Power Company, a Wisconsin corporation with a principal place of business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin ("WEPCO").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, WEPCO and FPL ENERGY POINT BEACH, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Wisconsin ("Seller") have entered into a Power Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "PPA"); and

WHEREAS, Seller is an affiliate of the Guarantor and the Guarantor will benefit from the transactions contemplated by the PPA; and

WHEREAS, WEPCO has agreed to sign the PPA on the condition, among others, that the Guarantor executes and delivers this Guaranty; and

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce WEPCO to sign the PPA and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor does hereby warrant to and covenant and agree with WEPCO as follows:

ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS

1.1 Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this Guaranty, capitalized terms have the meanings specified or referred to in the PPA.

ARTICLE 2 - GUARANTY

2.1 Guaranty. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(c) hereof, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to WEPCO and its successors and permitted assigns, the prompt and full payment and performance of any and all obligations of the Seller to WEPCO when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, with such interest as may accrue thereon, under the PPA or under any other documents or instruments now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the PPA (the "Guaranteed Obligations"); provided, however, that Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty, and the maximum recovery from the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, shall in no event exceed one hundred million U.S. dollars

E-1

^st

2.2 Guaranty Absolute. (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Guarantor absolutely guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the PPA, regardless of any law or regulation now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of WEPCO with respect thereto. This Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are several from the Seller or any other person, and are primary obligations concerning which the Guarantor is the principal obligor. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against the Seller or any other person, nor against securities or liens available to WEPCO, its successors or permitted assigns. Subject to the provisions hereof, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of:

(i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of such Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Seller or any of its subsidiaries;

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of the PPA or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(iv) any failure of WEPCO to disclose to either the Seller or the Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of either the Seller or any of its subsidiaries now or hereafter known to WEPCO (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of WEPCO to disclose such information);

(v) any lack of due diligence by WEPCO in the collection or protection of or realization upon any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(vi) any circumstance whatsoever or any act of WEPCO or any existence of or reliance on any representation by WEPCO that might otherwise constitute

E-2

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by WEPCO or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Seller or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(b) No action which WEPCO shall take or fail to take in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or any security for the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor any course of dealing with Seller or any other person, shall release Guarantor's obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford Guarantor any recourse against WEPCO.

(c) In the case of an Event of Default under the PPA or with regard to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that WEPCO shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers, and remedies thereunder or hereunder or under any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, and apply any payments or credits received by the Seller or Guarantor or realized from any security, in any manner and in any order as WEPCO, in its sole discretion, shall see fit, and all rights, powers, and remedies available to WEPCO in such event shall be nonexclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers, and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. If the Guaranteed Obligations are partially paid by reason of the election of WEPCO, its successors or assigns, to pursue any of the remedies available to WEPCO, or if such indebtedness is otherwise partially paid, this Guaranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Guarantor shall ,subject to the Maximum Recovery Amount, remain liable for the entire balance of the Guaranteed Obligations even though any rights which Guarantor may have against the Seller may be destroyed or diminished by the exercise of any such remedy.

2.3 Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, acceptance, notice of acceptance, protest, notice of dishonor and any other notices with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty.

(b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future, subject however to the limit of the Maximum Recovery Amount; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall automatically terminate upon receipt by WEPCO of replacement Seller Performance Security meeting the requirements of Section 8.1 of the PPA. The provisions of this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to all renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, and modifications of the PPA.

(c) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder; provided, however, that Guarantor shall have, and expressly reserves to itself, the

E-3

2.4 Subrogation.

S 509) against the Seller or against any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid or performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation or similar rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for WEPCO and shall be turned over to WEPCO in the exact form received by the Guarantor, to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations in such order as WEPCO may determine in its sole discretion.

2.5 Reporting. Guarantor shall promptly notify WEPCO of any Insufficient Credit Status relating to Guarantor or any circumstance that results in Seller's failure to be in compliance with the Seller Performance Security requirements of Article VIII of the PPA. From time to time, at WEPCO's written request, Guarantor shall provide WEPCO promptly with such evidence as WEPCO may reasonably request that this Guaranty is in full compliance with the PPA.

[Date]
[Credit No.]

[Name and Address

of Beneficiary]

Dear Sirs:

We hereby establish in your favor, for the account of [NAME OF ACCOUNT PARTY] ("Account Party"), with respect to the Power Purchase Agreement dated as of [________] between [Account Party] and you ("Beneficiary") (the "PPA"), our irrevocable standby letter of credit no. (the "Standby Letter of Credit") whereby we hereby irrevocably authorize you to draw on us, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, by your draft or drafts at sight, in the aggregate in an amount not to exceed ________________________ United States Dollars (U.S. $_________).

Funds against this Standby Letter of Credit are available to you against your sight draft(s) drawn on us, referring thereon to the number and date of this Standby Letter of Credit, accompanied by a written and completed certificate executed by you in the form attached as Annex 1 hereto, with appropriate insertions. Multiple, partial drafts may be drawn hereunder. Such available funds shall not directly or indirectly constitute funds or collateral deposited with or for the bank account by the [Account Party], or pledged with or for the bank's account by the [Account Party].

Presentation of such drafts, and such certificates shall be made on any day which is a business day for us at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (CPT) at our office located at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, or at any other office in the United States of America which may be designated by us in a written notice delivered to you. If such sight draft and such certificate are received at any such office, all in strict conformity with the terms and conditions of this Standby Letter of Credit, on or prior to the expiration date hereof, we hereby agree with you that we will duly honor the same within three (3) business days of such presentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary may demand payment under this Standby Letter of Credit by telecopy or e-mail when promptly confirmed by written demand; however, actual disbursement of funds pursuant to a demand presented by telecopy or e-mail shall not occur until we are presented with the original Standby Letter of Credit.

F-1

This Standby Letter of Credit is effective immediately and expires at 5:00 p.m. (CPT) on _______, 20__. It is a condition of this Standby Letter of Credit that it will be deemed automatically extended for successive periods of one year each from the present or any future expiration date under clause (b) above (but in no event later than _______, 20__), unless we notify you, in writing, by certified or registered mail at your respective addresses, not less than ninety (90) days prior to any such date, that we have elected not to extend such expiration date for such additional period. Notwithstanding Article 16 of the UCP (as such term is defined below), any notice of our election not to extend the expiration date of this Standby Letter of Credit shall be effective only upon actual receipt by you and no such notice shall have any effect absent such actual receipt. In the event that the expiration date of this Standby Letter of Credit occurs at such time as the events described in Article 17 of the UCP (as such term is defined below) are occurring, said expiration date shall be automatically extended by a period of time equal to the duration of such events.

We hereby undertake that we will not modify, revoke or terminate this Standby Letter of Credit without your written consent. Except as stated herein, payment of drafts drawn under this Standby Letter of Credit is not subject to any condition or qualification. This Standby Letter of Credit sets forth in full the terms of our undertaking, and such undertaking shall not be modified, annulled or amplified by reference to any other document, instrument or agreement referred to herein or in which the Standby Letter of Credit is referred or to which the Standby Letter of Credit relates, and any such reference shall not be deemed to incorporate herein by reference any document, instrument or agreement. Our obligations hereunder are primary obligations that shall not be affected by the performance or non-performance by [Account Party] of any obligations under any loan agreement or under any agreement between [Account Party] and you or between [Account Party] and us or between [Account Party] and its agents.

We hereby waive any right to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or collateral at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by us to or for the credit of or the account of Account Party against any and all of the obligations of Account Party now or hereafter existing to reimburse us for our disbursements under this Standby Letter of Credit; provided, however, that each such right shall be reinstated if it is determined that such right would not lead to our being released, prevented or restrained from or delayed in, honoring any draft presented in accordance with this Standby Letter of Credit. The foregoing waiver is intended to defeat any possible claim that honor of this Standby Letter of Credit, or of any draft presented hereunder, may constitute a preferential transfer of the bankrupt account party's property securing our right of reimbursement. Nothing herein shall be construed to support the validity of any such claim, to support any delay in our obligation to honor this Standby Letter of Credit or to detract from the independence of our obligation to honor this Standby Letter of Credit at the times and in accordance with the terms stated and incorporated by reference herein.

This Standby Letter of Credit is transferable in its entirety (but not in part). Each letter of credit issued upon any such transfer and assignment may be successively transferred and assigned. Transfer of this Standby Letter of Credit to any transferee shall be effected by the presentation to us of this Standby Letter of Credit accompanied by a certificate in the form attached as Annex 2 hereto, with appropriate insertions. Upon such presentation we shall forthwith issue an irrevocable

F-2

To the extent not contrary to the express terms hereof, this Standby Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 (herein referred to as the "UCP"), or by subsequent Uniform Customs and Practice fixed by subsequent Congresses of the International Chamber of Commerce. This Standby Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and shall, as to matters not governed by the UCP, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

Yours very truly,

[ISSUING BANK]

EXHIBIT G

PEAK ADJUSTMENT PAYMENT

During each month of June, July and August for each Calendar Year of the Term (the "Peak Period"), Seller must achieve the Target Capacity Factor for the Facilities as set forth in this Exhibit G. If Seller fails to achieve such Target Capacity Factor for any such month, Seller shall be responsible for a payment to Buyer (the "Peak Adjustment Payment") calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(TEM - DEM) x $20/MWh (in 2007 dollars escalating by three percent (3%) for each year of the Term)

where

TEM = Targeted Energy for the month, which shall be the product of: (i) the applicable Buyer's Capacity Amount for the month (excluding the CT Capacity); (ii) the number of hours in the month; and (iii) the Target Capacity Factor.

DEM = Delivered Energy for the month.

If the resulting product of the above formula is positive, then such positive amount shall equal the Peak Adjustment Payment for the month in question and Seller shall pay that Peak Adjustment Payment in accordance with this Exhibit G. If the resulting product is zero or negative, then neither Seller nor Buyer shall owe a Peak Adjustment Payment for the month.

If it is determined that Seller owes Buyer a Peak Adjustment Payment for a particular month, Buyer shall have the right to either (a) demand payment of that Peak Adjustment Payment in writing, in which case Seller shall make such payment to Buyer within five (5) Business Days after the written demand for payment is received, or (b) include the Peak Adjustment Payment on the invoices for such Billing Cycle pursuant to Section 7.1(a).
