ARTICLE VII.

MMC RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Section 7.1 Regulatory Approvals. MMC shall maintain all Regulatory Approvals as may be necessary to procure and sell Gas and to sell Power (including Ancillary Services) as contemplated herein, including obtaining and maintaining any required CAISO authorizations and the FERC authorization to enter into market-based transactions.

Section 7.2 Determinations of Capacity. MMC shall have sole and absolute discretion to determine the amount of Capacity available for sale by Energy Manager for its respective Facility, which discretion it may exercise using Prudent Utility Practice based on operational considerations of such Facility. MMC shall be responsible for communicating the operating and dispatch procedures to Energy Manager.

Section 7.3 Specification of Gas Characteristics. MMC shall have the sole right and responsibility to specify the characteristics of Gas to be supplied to its respective Facility and shall bear all consequences associated with such characteristics.

Section 7.4 Nominating, Scheduling and Balancing Information. MMC shall provide Energy Manager with the information necessary to enable Energy Manager to comply with the nominating, scheduling, balancing and other requirements of any supplier, Transporter, Power purchaser or transmission provider and to minimize scheduling, balancing, overrun and similar penalties and charges.

Section 7.5 Communications with CAISO. MMC shall communicate with CAISO or any other control areas and execute the necessary documentation to permit communications between CAISO and Energy Manager.

Section 7.6 Bilateral Transactions.

(a) Day-Ahead Third Party Transactions. MMC hereby delegates authority to Energy Manager to execute Day-Ahead or shorter-term Third Party Transactions on its behalf (including Third Party Transactions with CAISO), provided, however, that Energy Manager must obtain MMC’s prior approval before entering into a Third Party Transaction that could result in MMC congestion charges. Energy Manager shall not engage in any bilateral congestion transactions around MMC’s assets for its own account without prior approval from MMC. If MMC chooses to grant Energy Manager a right to execute a bilateral congestion transaction around its assets then appropriate compensation will be negotiated on a per transaction basis.

(b) Intermediate and Long-term Third Party Transactions. Energy Manager may from time to time submit to MMC a proposed Power or Capacity Transaction between Energy Manager and a Third Party (other than a Transaction with CAISO), having a term longer than Day-Ahead. Such a proposal shall state the expected term of the Third Party Transaction and shall identify whether the proposed transaction could result in MMC incurring congestion charges. Upon receipt, MMC shall promptly review the terms of the proposed transaction and may request additional information or suggest changes to the terms thereof. If MMC approves a proposed transaction, it shall counter-sign the Third Party Transaction proposal and return it to Energy Manager and Energy Manager and the Third Party shall then execute the Third Party Transaction. Energy Manager shall not execute a Third Party Transaction having a term longer than Day-Ahead without MMC’s prior written consent unless (i) Energy Manager anticipates that the term of said Third Party Transaction will be equal to or less than [***], and (ii) MMC does not respond within [***] of Energy Manager’s request to execute the transaction.

(c) MMC Bilateral Transactions. In the event that MMC directly and independently enters into a bilateral Power or Capacity transaction between MMC and a Third Party (an “MMC Bilateral Transaction”), Energy Manager shall coordinate the dispatch of Power in connection with such bilateral transaction and may, at its discretion, elect to provide Gas Management Services in connection with such bilateral transaction and in the same manner and scope contemplated under this Agreement; provided, however, that promptly upon execution of a bilateral transaction with a Third Party, MMC shall furnish Energy Manager with: (i) copies of documentation implementing such bilateral transaction; and (ii) written authority for Energy Manager to act on MMC’s behalf in connection with such transaction; and provided, further, that the Parties have reached agreement on the fee, if any, due to Energy Manager for the provision of such additional services.

(d) Scheduling for Energy Manager Proprietary Transactions. Energy Manager shall not submit a day-ahead transmission schedule to the CAISO which designates a Facility as Energy Manager’s supply source for a transaction in which Energy Manager, for its own account, has agreed to sell power to a Third Party at a delivery point in the CAISO service territory (a “Proprietary Transaction”) unless Energy Manager has received approval from MMC for such designation of a Facility.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.6 prevents Energy Manager from entering into Transactions for its own account with MMC.

(f) Absent the prior approval of Energy Manager, in no event shall MMC utilize Gas supplied by Energy Manager to MMC for any purpose other than to deliver Power under a Transaction, Third Party Transaction or a MMC Bilateral Transaction for which Energy Manager has agreed to provide Gas Management Services.

Exhibit E

Form of Guaranty

GUARANTY

GUARANTY, dated as of [·], by MMC ENERGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of BEAR ENERGY LP, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Beneficiary”).

(a)

Guaranty.

(i)

In connection with the EEI Master Power Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of {Master Agreement date} (the “Master Agreement”), and the Energy Management Agreement dated as of January 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), between Beneficiary and MMC Energy North America, LLC, MMC Energy Chula Vista, LLC and MMC Escondido, LLC, each a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (collectively the “Counterparty”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and effective from the date of the Agreement, the Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiary, its successors and permitted assigns, the prompt payment on demand, of any amount due and payable to the Beneficiary under the Agreement, subject to any applicable grace period thereunder (the “Obligations”).

(ii)

The Guarantor hereby waives acceptance of this Guaranty, diligence, promptness, presentment, demand on Counterparty for payment, protest of nonpayment and all notices of any kind. In addition, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor. The Beneficiary shall not be obligated to proceed against Counterparty before claiming under the Guaranty nor to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Counterparty becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Beneficiary so to file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. The Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

(b)

Consents, Waivers and Renewals. The Guarantor agrees that the Beneficiary, may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, or renew any of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Counterparty or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Beneficiary and Counterparty or any such other party or person, without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that the Beneficiary may resort to the Guarantor for payment of any of the Obligations, whether or not the Beneficiary shall have resorted to any collateral security, or shall have proceeded against any other obligor principally or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Obligations.

[***] Confidential information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

EXECUTION COPY

(c)

Expenses. The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of Beneficiary’s counsel) incurred in the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Beneficiary hereunder; provided, that the Guarantor shall not be liable for any expenses of the Beneficiary if no payment under this Guaranty is due.

(d)

Subrogation. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation until all Obligations to the Beneficiary shall have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be held for the benefit of the Beneficiary and shall forthwith be paid to the Beneficiary to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Subject to the foregoing, upon payment of all the Obligations, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Beneficiary against Counterparty and the Beneficiary agrees to take at the Guarantor’s expense such steps as the Guarantor may reasonably request to implement such subrogation.

(e)

Cumulative Rights. No failure on the part of the Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Beneficiary of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Beneficiary or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Beneficiary from time to time.

(f)	Representations and Warranties.

(i)

The Guarantor is a corporation duly existing under the laws of the State of [·].

(ii)

The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not conflict with any provision of law, any regulation, or the Guarantor’s charter or by-laws, or any agreement binding upon it.

(iii)

No consent, approval and authorization of, registration with, or declaration to any governmental authority are required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty.

(iv)

This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(g)

Continuing Guaranty. The Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns, and inure to the benefit of the Beneficiary and its successors and permitted assigns, until all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full. In the event that any payment by Counterparty in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder in respect of such Obligations as if such payment had not been made.
