Strategic Energy, L.L.C.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Grants
2005
Amended May 2, 2005

Objective

The Strategic Energy LLC (SE) Long Term Incentive Plan (Plan) is designed to reward sustained value creation by providing competitive incentives for the achievement of long-term financial and operational performance goals. By providing market-competitive target awards, the plan supports the attraction and retention of talent critical to achieving SE's strategic business objectives.

Eligible participants include executives as approved by the Compensation Committee (Committee) of the Board of Directors.

2005 Grants

For 2005, there will be two grants under the Plan. One will be a two-year grant for 2005-2006 performance (in lieu of 2004 grant) and the second will be a three-year grant for 2005-2007 performance.

Target Awards

Award levels will be approved by the Committee and set forth as a percentage of the executive's base salary at target. The percentage will vary based on organizational responsibilities and market-compilation based on industry data. Awards will be paid 25% in time vested restricted stock with the remaining 75% based on performance and payable in cash. The annual target award percentages of base salary are set forth on Appendix I attached hereto.

Performance Goals

The award payout under the Plan will be determined by the proposed goals in Appendix II attached hereto. Performance at target will produce 100% of award and the level of such award can be increased or decreased based on performance. The maximum award is 300% of target value.

Goals are fixed for the duration of the period and will only be changed upon the approval of the Committee.
