Lien
Facilities; and (3) deliver to Party A a copy of a real property
mortgage
and fixture filing and all security documents granting the lien
and

Framework
For Oversight On Trading Activities
To
mitigate the potential market effects of wholesale activities on the overall
economic value of the underlying enterprise, the following operational limit
structure and governance framework would be utilized:
Operational
Limit Structure Related
1)
Party
B will adhere to a stand-alone economic VaR (“VaR”) limit for its existing and
prospective trading activities separately from other wholesale operations
(described further below).
2)
The
VaR calculation will based on Party B’s proprietary VaR calculation which will
employ a Monte Carlo simulation approach (or an equivalently accepted energy
industry analytical methodology) at a *** confidence interval and an assumed***
holding period.
3)
The
VaR limit for trading activities will be initially set at ***.
4)
To
provide flexibility for Party B to manage and grow its business, the VaR
limit
would change over time reflecting the principle that the risk/reward profile
would remain the same. As Party B intends to grow its power and gas trading
activities by ***, the VaR limit would follow the schedule below:
Year VaR
Limit
*** ***
5)
|
Party
B would not be allowed to increase its then-current VaR limit to
the
levels described in subsequent years if the VaR for an applicable
year
exceeds the then-current VaR limit for more than ***. Once these
conditions have been met, Party B would be able to increase its
then-current VaR limit to the VaR limit described for the applicable
year
in the above schedule.
|
6)
|
Party
B would not be allowed to increase its then-current VaR limit to
the
levels described in subsequent years if the negative daily PNL
***.
|
7)
|
To
the extent that Party B increases the size of its baseload generation
asset capacity by ***, the VaR limits would be adjusted on a proportionate
basis by multiplying the VaR limit per year by the ratio of the
then-current baseload generation asset capacity divided by the
sum of the
baseload generation asset capacity as of the effective date of
this
schedule plus ***; however, the proportionate adjustment shall
only apply
if the then-current baseload generation asset capacity is greater
than the
sum of the baseload generation asset capacity as of the effective
date of
this schedule plus ***.
|
Governance
Related
1)
Trading activities consist of primarily power/heat-rate and gas activities
and
secondarily of environmental, weather, renewable energy credit (“REC”),
ancillary services, and coal related transactions. The classification of
trading
activities will be consistent with Party B’s external 10-K disclosures for
2006.
2)
To the
extent that Party B exceeds the then-current VaR limit, Party B will provide
written or email notice to Party A.
***
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND
FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION
3)
While
Party B will need the ability to update its risk management related policies
periodically to ensure risk management best practices, Party B would not
modify
its risk management related policies in any manner which increases the level
of
risk allowed in its trading activities beyond the VaR limit structure outlined
above.
4)
Party
B would allow an audit option to validate and verify the applicable
transactions, the associated VaR calculations support and documentation,
and the
reporting and distribution of the measure. Audits must be performed by an
independent, third party firm *** and must be conducted in a manner which
would
not result in Party A receiving confidential or proprietary trade information.
The audit option is triggered when VaR ***.
5)
Party
A shall have the authority to require Party B to fulfill an execution path
selected by Party B that should not exceed 10 working days (which allow some
flexibility in the event of other market related factors) which decreases
exposure below the then-current VaR limit.
Wholesale
Activities Excluded from Trading Activities
The
following list describes the wholesale transactions that are executed in
the
normal course of business that would be excluded from stand-alone economic
VaR
limit cited above related to trading activities:
1)
|
Sales
or purchases of financial and/or physical (including futures, cleared
and
over-the-counter swaps and options) power, heat rate, natural gas,
environmental emission credits, renewable energy credits, weather,
ancillary services, and related instruments such as location basis
and
congestion to hedge and balance Party B’s net open native
position
|
2)
|
Sales
of physical power to municipal utilities, electrical cooperatives,
competitive retail electric providers, and end-use customers (such
as
large commercial and industrial customers) whose principal use
for power
is self-consumption
|
3)
|
Purchases
(and sales for balancing) of power related products and services
as
required to serve Party B’s’s retail load requirement including shaped or
full requirement energy transactions, wind power purchase agreements,
power asset management transactions, scheduling services agreements,
and
related transactions that are required to support retail load sales
or #2
above
|
4)
|
Purchases
(and sales for balancing) of generation asset fuel including natural
gas,
fuel oil, and coal commodities
|
5)
|
Sales
of fly ash resulting from generation asset
production
|
6)
|
Procurement
of generation asset transport requirements including gas storage
and
transportation, railcar leases, and other required coal transportation
capacity
|
The
incremental economic VaR impact of the activities above is anticipated to
be
risk neutral to risk decreasing relative to the economic VaR of the native
position on a stand-alone, un-hedged basis.
