EDISON MISSION ENERGY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2007
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

        EME's significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 to its Consolidated Financial Statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. EME follows the same accounting policies for interim reporting purposes, with the exception of the change in accounting for uncertain tax positions (discussed below in "New Accounting Pronouncements"). This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such financial statements.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for the periods covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

        Certain prior year reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. Except as indicated, amounts reflected in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relate to continuing operations of EME.

Short-term Investments

        At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, EME had classified all marketable debt securities as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest which approximated their fair value. Gross unrealized holding gains and losses were not material.

        Held-to-maturity securities, which all mature within one year, consisted of the following:

 
  March 31,
2007

  December 31,
2006

 
  (in millions)

Commercial paper   $ 406   $ 417
Certificates of deposit     69     141
   
 
Total   $ 475   $ 558
   
 

Income Taxes

        EME is included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of Edison International and participates in tax-allocation and payment agreements with other subsidiaries of Edison International. EME calculates its tax provision in accordance with these tax agreements. EME's current tax liability or benefit is determined on a "with and without" basis. This means Edison International computes its combined federal and state tax liabilities including and excluding EME's taxable income or loss and state apportionment factors. This method is similar to a separate company return, except that EME recognizes, without regard to separate company limitations, additional tax liabilities or benefits based on the impact to the combined group of including EME's taxable income or losses and state apportionment factors.

6



        EME accounts for deferred income taxes using the asset-and-liability method, wherein deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates. Investment and energy tax credits are deferred and amortized over the term of the power purchase agreement of the respective project. Interest expense and penalties associated with income taxes are reflected in the caption "Provision for income taxes" on the consolidated statements of income. For further discussion of income taxes, see Note 6—Income Taxes.

Inventory

        Inventory is stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of the following:

 
  March 31,
2007

  December 31,
2006

 
  (in millions)

Coal and fuel oil   $ 114   $ 112
Spare parts, materials and supplies     46     46
   
 
Total   $ 160   $ 158
   
 

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Principles Adopted

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48—

        In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions. FIN No. 48 requires an enterprise to recognize, in its financial statements, the best estimate of the impact of a tax position by determining if the weight of the available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained on audit. EME adopted FIN No. 48 effective January 1, 2007. Based on the current status of discussions with tax authorities related to open tax years under audit and other information currently available, implementation of FIN No. 48 resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment that decreased retained earnings by $1 million.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155—

        In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, which amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for at fair value at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to remeasurement after January 1, 2007. The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of SFAS No. 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. The adoption of this standard had no effect on EME's consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

7



Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157—

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. EME will adopt SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. EME is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159—

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 which provides an option to report eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Upon adoption, the first remeasurement to fair value would be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. EME will adopt SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. EME is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

        Edison International's stock, stock options, performance shares, deferred stock units and, beginning in 2007, restricted stock units have been granted to EME employees under Edison International's long-term incentive compensation programs. Edison International usually does not issue new common stock for equity awards settled. Rather, a third party is used to facilitate the exercise of stock options and the purchase and delivery of outstanding common stock for settlement of option exercises, performance shares and restricted stock units. Deferred stock units granted to management are settled in cash, not stock and represent a liability.

        On April 26, 2007, Edison International's shareholders approved a new incentive plan (the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan) that includes stock-based compensation. No additional awards will be granted under Edison International's prior stock-based compensation plans on or after April 26, 2007, and all future issuances will be made under the new plan. The maximum number of shares of Edison International's common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the new incentive plan is 8.5 million shares, plus the number of any shares subject to awards issued under Edison International's prior plans and outstanding as of April 26, 2007, which expire, cancel or terminate without being exercised or shares being issued. For further discussion, see "Stock-Based Compensation" in Note 5.

Note 2.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of the following:

 
  Unrealized Gains
(Losses) on Cash
Flow Hedges

  Unrecognized
Losses and Prior
Service Costs, Net

  Accumulated Other
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)

 
 
   
  (in millions)

   
 
Balance at December 31, 2006   $ 111   $ (10 ) $ 101  
Current period change     (154 )       (154 )
   
 
 
 
Balance at March 31, 2007   $ (43 ) $ (10 ) $ (53 )
   
 
 
 

        Unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, net of tax, at March 31, 2007, include unrealized losses on commodity hedges related to Midwest Generation and EME Homer City futures and forward electricity

8



contracts that qualify for hedge accounting. These losses arise because current forecasts of future electricity prices in these markets are greater than the contract prices. The change from unrealized gains to unrealized losses during the first quarter of 2007 resulted from an increase in market prices for power.

        As EME's hedged positions for continuing operations are realized, approximately $29 million, after tax, of the net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges at March 31, 2007 are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months. Management expects that reclassification of net unrealized losses will offset energy revenue recognized at market prices. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months could vary materially from this estimated amount as a result of changes in market conditions. The maximum period over which a cash flow hedge is designated is through December 31, 2009.

        Under SFAS No. 133, the portion of a cash flow hedge that does not offset the change in value of the transaction being hedged, which is commonly referred to as the ineffective portion, is immediately recognized in earnings. EME recorded net losses of approximately $1 million and $11 million during the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing the amount of cash flow hedges' ineffectiveness for continuing operations, reflected in operating revenues in EME's consolidated income statements.

Note 3.  Variable Interest Entities

        U.S. Wind Force is a development stage enterprise formed to develop wind projects in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland. In December 2006, a subsidiary of EME entered into a loan agreement with U.S. Wind Force to fund the redemption of a membership interest held by another party, repayment of loans, distributions to equity holders and to fund future development of wind projects. In accordance with FIN 46(R), EME is the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, consolidated U.S. Wind Force at December 15, 2006. At March 31, 2007, the assets consolidated included $17 million of intangible assets, primarily related to project development rights, and are classified as part of other long-term assets in EME's consolidated balance sheet. As project development is completed, the project development rights will be considered part of property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective projects.

        EME completed a review of the application of FIN 46(R) to its subsidiaries and affiliates and concluded that it had significant variable interests in variable interest entities as defined in this Interpretation. As of March 31, 2007, these entities consisted of five equity investments (the Big 4 projects and the Sunrise project) that had interests in natural gas-fired facilities with a total generating capacity of 1,782 MW. An operations and maintenance subsidiary of EME operates the Big 4 projects, but EME does not supply the fuel consumed or purchase the power generated by these facilities. EME determined that it is not the primary beneficiary in these entities; accordingly, EME continues to account for its variable interests on the equity method. EME's maximum exposure to loss in these variable interest entities is generally limited to its investment in these entities, which totaled $310 million as of March 31, 2007.

Note 4.  Discontinued Operations

Lakeland Project

        EME previously owned a 220 MW power plant located in the United Kingdom, referred to as the Lakeland project. An administrative receiver was appointed in 2002 as a result of a default by the project's counterparty, a subsidiary of TXU Europe Group plc. Following a claim for termination of the

9



power sales agreement, the Lakeland project received a settlement of £116 million (approximately $217 million). EME is entitled to receive the remaining amount of the settlement after payment of creditor claims. As creditor claims have been settled, EME received payments of £61 million (approximately $106 million) in the first quarter of 2006 and £4 million (approximately $8 million) in January 2007. The after-tax income attributable to the Lakeland project was $5 million and $73 million for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Beginning in 2002, EME reported the Lakeland project as discontinued operations and accounts for its ownership of Lakeland Power on the cost method (earnings are recognized as cash is distributed from the project).

Note 6.  Income Taxes

        EME's income tax provision from continuing operations was $84 million and $41 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Income tax benefits are recognized pursuant to a tax-allocation agreement with Edison International. EME recognized $5 million of production tax credits related to wind projects during each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and $2 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 related to estimated state income tax benefits allocated from Edison International.

        The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption of FIN No. 48 was $84 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $83 million. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties was $41 million as of the date of adoption. The total amount of interest expense and penalties recognized in income tax expense was $5 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

11


        EME and its subsidiaries remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, the California Franchise Tax Board, and other state authorities from 1994 to present. EME continues its efforts to resolve open tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service and state authorities. The timing for resolving these open tax positions is subject to uncertainty, but it is reasonably possible that some portion of these open tax positions could be resolved in the next twelve months.

Note 7.  Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Capital Improvements

        At March 31, 2007, EME's subsidiaries had firm commitments to spend approximately $133 million during the remainder of 2007 and $25 million in 2008 on capital and construction expenditures. The majority of these expenditures relate to the construction of wind projects. Also included are expenditures for dust collection and mitigation system and environmental improvements. These expenditures are planned to be financed by cash on hand, cash generated from operations or existing subsidiary credit agreements.

Turbine Commitments

        At March 31, 2007, EME had entered into agreements with vendors securing 357 wind turbines (734 MW) with remaining commitments of $508 million in 2007 and $176 million in 2008. EME has the option to purchase an additional 83 wind turbines (199 MW) for delivery in 2009. In addition, EME had entered into an agreement for the purchase of five gas turbines and related equipment for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $145 million with remaining commitments of $53 million in 2007 and $3 million in 2008. In February 2007, EME was advised that it was an unsuccessful bidder in the request for offers conducted by SCE for the supply of generation capacity. EME plans to use the turbines which it had purchased and reserved for this bid for other generation supply opportunities. At March 31, 2007, EME had recorded turbine deposits of $210 million included in other long-term assets in EME's consolidated balance sheet.

Fuel Supply Contracts

        Midwest Generation has entered into additional fuel purchase commitments during the first three months of 2007. These additional commitments are currently estimated to be $106 million in 2008, $74 million in 2009, and $77 million in 2010.

Coal Transportation Agreements

        Midwest Generation has contractual agreements for the transport of coal to its facilities. The primary contract is with Union Pacific Railroad (and various delivering carriers) which extends through 2011. Midwest Generation commitments under this agreement are based on actual coal purchases from the PRB. Accordingly, contractual obligations for transportation are based on coal volumes set forth in fuel supply contracts. The increase in transportation commitments entered into during the first three months of 2007 relates to additional volumes of fuel purchases using the terms of existing transportation agreements. These commitments are currently estimated to be $110 million for 2008, $75 million for 2009, and $76 million for 2010.

12



Standby Letters of Credit

        At March 31, 2007, standby letters of credit aggregated $51 million and were scheduled to expire as follows: $27 million in 2007 and $24 million in 2008.

Guarantees and Indemnities

        EME and certain of its subsidiaries have various financial and performance guarantees and indemnifications which are issued in the normal course of business. As discussed below, these contracts include performance guarantees, guarantees of debt and indemnifications.

Tax Indemnity Agreements

        In connection with the sale-leaseback transactions that EME has entered into related to the Powerton and Joliet Stations in Illinois, the Collins Station in Illinois, and the Homer City facilities in Pennsylvania, EME and several of its subsidiaries entered into tax indemnity agreements. Under these tax indemnity agreements, these entities agreed to indemnify the lessors in the sale-leaseback transactions for specified adverse tax consequences that could result in certain situations set forth in each tax indemnity agreement, including specified defaults under the respective leases. The potential indemnity obligations under these tax indemnity agreements could be significant. Due to the nature of these potential obligations, EME cannot determine a maximum potential liability which would be triggered by a valid claim from the lessors. EME has not recorded a liability related to these indemnities. In connection with the termination of the Collins Station lease in April 2004, Midwest Generation will continue to have obligations under the tax indemnity agreement with the former lease equity investor.

Indemnities Provided as Part of the Acquisition of the Illinois Plants

        In connection with the acquisition of the Illinois Plants, EME agreed to indemnify Commonwealth Edison with respect to specified environmental liabilities before and after December 15, 1999, the date of sale. The indemnification claims are reduced by any insurance proceeds and tax benefits related to such claims and are subject to a requirement that Commonwealth Edison takes all reasonable steps to mitigate losses related to any such indemnification claim. Due to the nature of the obligation under this indemnity, a maximum potential liability cannot be determined. This indemnification for environmental liabilities is not limited in term and would be triggered by a valid claim from Commonwealth Edison. Except as discussed below, EME has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.

        Midwest Generation entered into a supplemental agreement with Commonwealth Edison and Exelon Generation on February 20, 2003 to resolve a dispute regarding interpretation of its reimbursement obligation for asbestos claims under the environmental indemnities set forth in the Asset Sale Agreement. Under this supplemental agreement, Midwest Generation agreed to reimburse Commonwealth Edison and Exelon Generation for 50% of specific asbestos claims pending as of February 2003 and related expenses less recovery of insurance costs, and agreed to a sharing arrangement for liabilities and expenses associated with future asbestos-related claims as specified in the agreement. As a general matter, Commonwealth Edison and Midwest Generation apportion responsibility for future asbestos-related claims based upon the number of exposure sites that are Commonwealth Edison locations or Midwest Generation locations. The obligations under this agreement are not subject to a maximum liability. The supplemental agreement has a five-year term with an automatic renewal provision (subject to the right of either party to terminate). Payments are made under this indemnity upon tender by Commonwealth Edison of appropriate proof of liability for an asbestos-related settlement, judgment, verdict, or expense. There were approximately 176 cases for

13



which Midwest Generation was potentially liable and that had not been settled and dismissed at March 31, 2007. Midwest Generation had recorded a $64 million liability at March 31, 2007 related to this matter.

        The amounts recorded by Midwest Generation for the asbestos-related liability are based upon a number of assumptions. Future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation in the United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or lower than projected.

Indemnity Provided as Part of the Acquisition of the Homer City Facilities

        In connection with the acquisition of the Homer City facilities, EME Homer City agreed to indemnify the sellers with respect to specific environmental liabilities before and after the date of sale. Payments would be triggered under this indemnity by a claim from the sellers. EME guaranteed the obligations of EME Homer City. Due to the nature of the obligation under this indemnity provision, it is not subject to a maximum potential liability and does not have an expiration date. EME has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.

Indemnities Provided under Asset Sale Agreements

        The asset sale agreements for the sale of EME's international assets contain indemnities from EME to the purchasers, including indemnification for taxes imposed with respect to operations of the assets prior to the sale and for pre-closing environmental liabilities. Not all indemnities under the asset sale agreements have specific expiration dates. Payments would be triggered under these indemnities by valid claims from the sellers or purchasers, as the case may be. At March 31, 2007, EME had recorded a liability of $97 million related to these matters.

        In connection with the sale of various domestic assets, EME has from time to time provided indemnities to the purchasers for taxes imposed with respect to operations of the asset prior to the sale. EME has also provided indemnities to purchasers for items specified in each agreement (for example, specific pre-existing litigation matters and/or environmental conditions). Due to the nature of the obligations under these indemnity agreements, a maximum potential liability cannot be determined. Not all indemnities under the asset sale agreements have specific expiration dates. Payments would be triggered under these indemnities by valid claims from the sellers or purchasers, as the case may be. EME has not recorded a liability related to these indemnities.

Capacity Indemnification Agreements

        EME has guaranteed, jointly and severally with Texaco Inc., the obligations of March Point Cogeneration Company under its project power sales agreements to repay capacity payments to the project's power purchaser in the event that the power sales agreements terminate, March Point Cogeneration Company abandons the project, or the project fails to return to normal operations within a reasonable time after a complete or partial shutdown, during the term of the power sales agreements. In addition, a subsidiary of EME has guaranteed the obligations of Sycamore Cogeneration Company under its project power sales agreement to repay capacity payments to the project's power purchaser in the event that the project unilaterally terminates its performance or reduces its electric power producing capability during the term of the power sales agreement. The obligations under the indemnification agreements as of March 31, 2007, if payment were required, would be $92 million. EME has not recorded a liability related to these indemnities.

14



Subsidiary Guarantee for Performance of Unconsolidated Affiliate

        A subsidiary of EME has guaranteed the obligations of an unconsolidated affiliate to make payments to a third party for power delivered under a fixed-price power sales agreement that expires in August 2007. EME believes there is sufficient cash flow to pay the power suppliers, assuming timely payment by the power purchasers. Due to the nature of this indemnity, a maximum potential liability cannot be determined. To the extent EME's subsidiary would be required to make payments under the guarantee, EME's subsidiary and EME are indemnified by Peabody Energy Corporation pursuant to the 2000 Purchase and Sale Agreement for Citizens Power LLC. EME's subsidiary has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.

Contingencies

FERC Notice Regarding Investigatory Proceeding against EMMT

        At the end of October 2006, EMMT was advised by the enforcement staff at the FERC that it is prepared to recommend that the FERC initiate a formal investigatory proceeding and seek monetary sanctions against EMMT for alleged violation of the FERC's rules with respect to certain bidding practices employed by EMMT. EMMT is engaged in discussions with the staff to explore the possibility of resolution of this matter. Should a formal proceeding be commenced, EMMT will be entitled to contest any alleged violations before the FERC and an appropriate court. EME believes that EMMT has complied with the FERC's rules and intends to contest vigorously any allegation of violation. EME cannot predict at this time the outcome of this matter or estimate the possible liability should the outcome be adverse.

Midway-Sunset Cogeneration Company

        San Joaquin Energy Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of EME, owns a 50% general partnership interest in Midway-Sunset Cogeneration Company, which owns a 225 MW cogeneration facility near Fellows, California. Midway-Sunset is a party to several proceedings pending at the FERC involving claims for refunds from entities that sold power and related services into the California markets operated by the California Power Exchange and the California Independent System Operator (collectively the California Markets) at prices that were allegedly not just and reasonable, as required by the Federal Power Act.

        Midway-Sunset is a party to these proceedings because Midway-Sunset was a seller in the California Markets during 2000 and 2001, both for its own account and on behalf of SCE and PG&E, the utilities to which the majority of Midway-Sunset's power was contracted for sale. As a seller into the California Markets, Midway-Sunset is potentially liable for refunds to purchasers in these markets.

        The claims asserted against Midway-Sunset for refunds related to power sold into the California Markets, including power sold on behalf of SCE and PG&E, are estimated to be less than $70 million for all periods under consideration. Midway-Sunset has calculated its potential liability for refunds related to power sold into the California Markets on its own behalf (excluding power sold on behalf of SCE and PG&E) to be approximately $0.5 million for the period October 2, 2000 through June 20, 2001. Midway Sunset's potential liability for sales on its own behalf during the period May 1, 2000 through October 1, 2000 has not yet been calculated but is not expected to be material. These calculations were made in accordance with the methodology approved by the FERC, but it is possible that this methodology will be challenged.

15



        Because Midway-Sunset did not retain any proceeds from power sold into the California Markets on behalf of SCE and PG&E in excess of the amounts to which it was entitled under the pre-existing power sales contracts, but instead passed those proceeds on to the utilities, EME believes that PG&E and SCE are obligated to reimburse Midway-Sunset for any refund liability that it incurs as a result of sales made into the California Markets on their behalf. Midway-Sunset intends vigorously to assert these positions. However, at this time EME cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Challenges of Illinois Power Procurement Auction Results

        EMMT participated successfully in the first Illinois power procurement auction, held in September 2006 according to rules approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission, and entered into two load requirements services contracts through which it is delivering electricity, capacity and specified ancillary, transmission and load following services necessary to serve a portion of Commonwealth Edison's residential and small commercial customer load, using contracted supply from Midwest Generation.

        EME believes that EMMT's actions in regard to the Illinois auction were appropriate and lawful and intends to defend vigorously all of the matters described below. However, at this time EME cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

FERC Complaint—

        On March 16, 2007, the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Illinois filed a complaint at the FERC alleging that the prices resulting from the Illinois auction resulted in unjust and unreasonable rates under the Federal Power Act and that participating wholesale sellers in the Illinois auction had colluded and manipulated the results of the auction. All successful participants in the Illinois auction, including EMMT, were named as respondents. The Office of the Attorney General asked the FERC to order refunds and to revoke the respondents' market-based rate pricing authority.

Class Action Lawsuits—

        On April 4, 2007, EMMT was served with a complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, by Saul R. Wexler, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated electric ratepayers in Illinois, against Commonwealth Edison, Ameren, and all of the successful participants in the Illinois auction, including EMMT. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including EMMT, colluded and conspired to manipulate the auction results by price-fixing. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. On April 26, 2007, the defendants transferred the complaint to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

        On March 30, 2007, David Schafer, Tim Perry, Pat Martin and Michael Murray, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated electric ratepayers in Illinois, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against Commonwealth Edison, Ameren, and all of the successful participants in the Illinois auction, including EMMT. EMMT has not been formally served in the case. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including EMMT, colluded and conspired to manipulate the auction results by price-fixing. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. On April 26, 2007, the defendants transferred the complaint to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

16



Litigation

        EME experiences other routine litigation in the normal course of its business. None of such pending routine litigation is expected to have a material adverse effect on EME's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Environmental Matters and Regulations

        The construction and operation of power plants are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities. EME believes that it is in substantial compliance with existing environmental regulatory requirements. Typically, environmental laws and regulations require a lengthy and complex process for obtaining licenses, permits and approvals prior to construction, operation or modification of a project or generating facility. Meeting all the necessary requirements can delay or sometimes prevent the completion of a proposed project, as well as require extensive modifications to existing projects, which may involve significant capital expenditures. If EME fails to comply with applicable environmental laws, it may be subject to injunctive relief or penalties and fines imposed by regulatory authorities.

        With respect to EME's potential liabilities arising under CERCLA or similar laws for the investigation and remediation of contaminated property, EME accrues a liability to the extent the costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Midwest Generation has accrued approximately $4 million at March 31, 2007 for estimated environmental investigation and remediation costs for the Illinois Plants. This estimate is based upon the number of sites, the scope of work and the estimated costs for environmental activity where such expenditures could be reasonably estimated. Future estimated costs may vary based on changes in regulations or requirements of federal, state, or local governmental agencies, changes in technology, and actual costs of disposal. In addition, future remediation costs will be affected by the nature and extent of contamination discovered at the sites that requires remediation. Given the prior history of the operations at its facilities, EME cannot be certain that the existence or extent of all contamination at its sites has been fully identified. However, based on available information, management believes that future costs in excess of the amounts disclosed on all known and quantifiable environmental contingencies will not be material to EME's financial position. See "Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Environmental Matters and Regulations" in EME's financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a more complete discussion of EME's environmental contingencies.

        During the first quarter of 2007, EME accrued $19 million in connection with the purchase price of wind projects acquired in March 2007 due upon completion of construction. During the first quarter of 2006, EME accrued $11 million in connection with the purchase price of the Wildorado wind project due upon completion of construction.

Note 9.  Subsequent Event

        On May 7, 2007, EME completed a private offering of $1.2 billion of its 7.00% senior notes due 2017, $800 million of its 7.20% senior notes due 2019 and $700 million of its 7.625% senior notes due 2027. EME will pay interest on the senior notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2007.

        The senior notes are EME's senior unsecured obligations, ranking in equal right of payment to all EME's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and will be senior to all EME's future subordinated indebtedness. EME's secured debt and its other secured obligations are effectively senior to the senior notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt or other obligations. None of EME's subsidiaries have guaranteed the senior notes and, as a result, all of the existing and future liabilities of EME's subsidiaries are effectively senior to the senior notes.

        EME used the proceeds of the offering of the senior notes, together with cash on hand, to purchase approximately $587 million of EME's outstanding 7.73% senior notes due 2009, to purchase $999.8 million of Midwest Generation's 8.75% second priority senior secured notes due 2034, to repay the outstanding amount ($327.8 million) of Midwest Generation's senior secured term loan facility, and to make a dividend payment of $899 million to MEHC which enabled MEHC to purchase approximately $795.7 million of its 13.5% senior secured notes due 2008. The net proceeds of the offering of the senior notes, together with cash on hand, were also used to pay related tender premiums, consent fees, and accrued interest. EME expects to record a total pre-tax loss of approximately $161 million (approximately $99 million after tax) on early extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2007.

        In addition, on May 7, 2007, EME amended its existing $500 million secured credit facility, increasing the total borrowings available thereunder to $600 million.

Management's Overview

Results of Operations

        Net income is comprised of the following components:

 
  Three Months Ended March 31,
 
  2007
  2006
 
  (in millions)

Income from continuing operations   $ 153   $ 75
Income from discontinued operations     3     73
   
 
Net Income   $ 156   $ 148
   
 

        EME's improvement in income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in wholesale energy margins driven by higher generation and energy prices at both the Illinois Plants and Homer City facilities. Generation comparisons at the Homer City facilities were impacted by a transformer outage that lasted during part of the first quarter of 2006. In addition, results at the Illinois Plants in 2007 were impacted by unrealized losses related to non-qualifying hedges under SFAS No. 133.

        EME's income from discontinued operations during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, net of tax, was primarily related to distributions authorized by the liquidators of the Lakeland power project. The activities of the Lakeland liquidator are near completion and substantially all the distributions from the Lakeland project have been made.

Financing Activities

        On May 7, 2007, EME completed a private offering of $1.2 billion of its 7.00% senior notes due 2017, $800 million of its 7.20% senior notes due 2019 and $700 million of its 7.625% senior notes due 2027. The proceeds were used, together with cash on hand, to:

    purchase substantially all of EME's outstanding 7.73% senior notes due 2009,

    purchase substantially all of Midwest Generation's 8.75% second priority senior secured notes due 2034,

    repay the outstanding balance of Midwest Generation's senior secured term loan facility ($327.8 million), and

    make a dividend payment to MEHC which enabled MEHC to purchase substantially all of its 13.5% senior secured notes due 2008.

        EME expects to record a total pre-tax loss of approximately $161 million (approximately $99 million after tax) on early extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2007. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities."

        In addition to the above-mentioned debt refinancing, on May 7, 2007, EME amended its existing $500 million secured credit facility, increasing the total borrowings available thereunder to $600 million, and Midwest Generation plans to replace its existing $500 million senior secured working capital facility with a new senior secured working capital facility with a longer maturity date and less restrictive covenants. Midwest Generation intends to use its new secured working capital facility to provide credit support for its hedging activities, including through the option to extend power hedges by granting the counterparties a first lien to secure such hedges, and general working capital purposes.

        The above-mentioned refinancing activities improve EME's overall liquidity, extend the maturity dates of indebtedness, reduce annual interest costs, improve operating flexibility, and improve EME's ability to capitalize on growth opportunities.

Business Development

        EME has undertaken a number of key activities in 2007 with respect to wind projects, including the following:

    In March 2007, EME acquired three wind projects in development in Utah and Wyoming totaling 212 MW. Two of the projects are in preliminary stages of development. The third project, referred to as the Mountain Wind I project, is 61 MW and expected to commence construction during the second quarter of 2007 with completion scheduled during the fourth quarter of 2007. The estimated capital cost of this project, excluding capitalized interest, is $104 million. The project plans to sell electricity to PacifiCorp under a 20-year power purchase agreement.

    In March 2007, EME completed a transaction to acquire the remaining membership interests in two wind projects in development in Pennsylvania totaling 67 MW. Construction of these projects is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2007 with completion scheduled during the fourth quarter of 2007. The estimated capital cost, excluding capitalized interest, is $115 million. One of the projects, referred to as the Forward project, is 29 MW and plans to sell electricity to Constellation New Energy under a 10-year power purchase agreement. The other project, referred to as the Lookout project, is 38 MW and plans to sell electricity into PJM as a merchant wind generator.

21


    In March 2007, EME purchased wind turbines and related services and warranties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $253 million (a portion of which is currently denominated in Japanese yen and subject to exchange rate fluctuations) with deliveries scheduled for 2008. EME has also made a reservation fee payment of $8 million for additional turbines for 2009 delivery. Subject to issuance of a notice to proceed by June 30, 2007, the aggregate purchase price for these turbines and related services and warranties is approximately $255 million (a portion of which is also denominated in Japanese yen and subject to exchange rate fluctuations).

    In April 2007, EME completed a transaction to acquire six projects in development in Texas and Oklahoma totaling 700 MW. These projects are in various stages of development with target completion dates of 2008 through 2010. Under the purchase and sale agreement, the purchase price is comprised of an initial payment and subsequent payments tied to milestones and adjustments based on EME's projected internal rate of return in individual projects. Completion of development of these projects is dependent on a number of items, including, among other things, obtaining power sales agreements, and in certain cases, permits and interconnection agreements.

PJM Reliability Pricing Model

        In April 2007, PJM completed the first capacity auction under the PJM Reliability Pricing Model. EME participated in the auction for the period June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. After accounting for previous forward sales of capacity, EMMT sold net 3,013 MW of capacity from the Illinois Plants and net 886 MW of capacity from the Homer City facilities. The Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities are located in the "Rest of Market" area which had a clearing price of $40.80 per MW-day.

ERP Initiative

        Progress continued during the first quarter of 2007 on preparation for the installation of an enterprise resources planning (ERP) application from SAP. Financial, procurement and material management systems are scheduled for implementation during the third quarter of 2007 with the human resources systems scheduled for the second quarter of 2008 as part of the Edison International enterprise-wide project.

Critical Accounting Policies

        For a discussion of EME's critical accounting policies, refer to "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Results of Continuing Operations

Overview

        EME operates in one line of business, independent power production. Operating revenues are primarily derived from the sale of power generated from the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities. Intercompany interest expense and income between EME and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in the following project results, except as described below with respect to loans provided to EME from a wholly owned subsidiary, Midwest Generation, and loans from Midwest Generation to EMMT for margining. Equity in income from unconsolidated affiliates relates to energy projects accounted for under the equity method. EME recognizes its proportional share of the income or loss of such entities.

        EME uses the words "earnings" or "losses" in this section to describe income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes.

23



        The following section provides a summary of the operating results for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006 together with discussions of the contributions by specific projects and of other significant factors affecting these results.

Project earnings are equal to income from continuing operations before income taxes, except for production tax credits. Accordingly, project earnings for the wind projects include $5 million of production tax credits for each of the first quarters of 2007 and 2006. Production tax credits are recognized as wind energy is generated based upon a per kilowatt-hour rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. Under GAAP, production tax credits generated by the wind projects are recorded as a reduction in income taxes. Accordingly, project earnings (losses) represent a non-GAAP performance measure which may not be comparable to those of other companies. Management believes that inclusion of production tax credits in project earnings for wind projects is more meaningful for investors as federal and state subsidies are an integral part of the economics of these projects. The following table reconciles the total project earnings as shown above with income from continuing operations before income taxes under GAAP:

Represents two load requirements services contracts, awarded as part of an Illinois auction, with Commonwealth Edison that commenced on January 1, 2007.

(3)
The equivalent availability factor is defined as the number of MWh the coal plants are available to generate electricity divided by the product of the capacity of the coal plants (in MW) and the number of hours in the period. Equivalent availability reflects the impact of the unit's inability to achieve full load, referred to as derating, as well as outages which result in a complete unit shutdown. The coal plants are not available during periods of planned and unplanned maintenance.

25


(4)
The capacity factor is defined as the actual number of MWh generated by the coal plants divided by the product of the capacity of the coal plants (in MW) and the number of hours in the period.

(5)
The load factor is determined by dividing capacity factor by the equivalent availability factor.

(6)
Midwest Generation refers to unplanned maintenance as a forced outage.

(7)
The average realized energy price reflects the average price at which energy is sold into the market including the effects of hedges, real-time and day-ahead sales and PJM fees and ancillary services. It is determined by dividing (i) operating revenue less unrealized SFAS No. 133 gains (losses) and other non-energy related revenue by (ii) generation. Revenue related to capacity sales are excluded from the calculation of average realized energy price.

(8)
The average realized price reflects the contract price for sales to Commonwealth Edison under load requirements services contracts that include energy, capacity and ancillary services. It is determined by dividing (i) contract revenue less PJM operating and ancillary charges by (ii) generation.

        Earnings from the Illinois Plants increased $62 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 increase was primarily due to higher energy revenues resulting from higher generation and average realized energy prices as compared to 2006. Partially offsetting these increases were higher maintenance costs and an increase in unrealized losses in 2007 related to hedge contracts described below.

        Included in operating revenues were unrealized gains (losses) of $(22) million and $10 million for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Unrealized gains (losses) are primarily due to power contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 (sometimes referred to as economic hedges). These energy contracts were entered into to hedge the price risk related to projected sales of power. During 2007, power prices increased, resulting in mark-to-market losses on economic hedges. The 2007 unrealized losses included $14 million of mark-to-market losses from economic hedges for periods subsequent to March 31, 2007, resulting from an increase in market prices during the first quarter of 2007. See "Market Risk Exposures—Commodity Price Risk" for more information regarding forward market prices.

        The earnings of the Illinois Plants included interest income of $28 million for each of the first quarters of 2007 and 2006 related to loans to EME. In August 2000, Midwest Generation, which owns or leases the Illinois Plants, entered into a sale-leaseback transaction of the Powerton-Joliet facilities. The proceeds from the sale of these facilities were loaned to EME, which also provided a guarantee of the related lease obligations of Midwest Generation. The Powerton-Joliet sale-leaseback is recorded as an operating lease for accounting purposes.

(1)
Included in fuel costs were $6 million and $12 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the net cost of SO2 emission allowances. See "Market Risk Exposures—Commodity Price Risk—Emission Allowances Price Risk" for more information regarding the price of SO2 allowances.

(2)
The Homer City facilities sold excess NOX emission allowances to the Illinois Plants at fair market value. Sales to the Illinois Plants were $6 million in the first quarter of 2006. These sales reduced operating expenses. EME eliminated the intercompany transaction for emission allowances sold but not yet used by the Illinois Plants at March 31, 2006.

(3)
The equivalent availability factor is defined as the number of MWh the coal plants are available to generate electricity divided by the product of the capacity of the coal plants (in MW) and the number of hours in the period. Equivalent availability reflects the impact of the unit's inability to achieve full load, referred to as derating, as well as outages which result in a complete unit shutdown. The coal plants are not available during periods of planned and unplanned maintenance.

(4)
The capacity factor is defined as the actual number of MWh generated by the coal plants divided by the product of the capacity of the coal plants (in MW) and the number of hours in the period.

(5)
The load factor is determined by dividing capacity factor by the equivalent availability factor.

(6)
Homer City refers to unplanned maintenance as a forced outage.

(7)
The average realized energy price reflects the average price at which energy is sold into the market including the effects of hedges, real-time and day-ahead sales and PJM fees and ancillary services. It is determined by dividing (i) operating revenue less unrealized SFAS No. 133 gains (losses) and other non-energy related revenue by (ii) total generation.

27


        Earnings from Homer City increased $66 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 increase was primarily attributable to higher generation and average realized energy prices and lower prices of SO2 emission allowances as compared to 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, an unplanned outage at Unit 3 contributed to lower generation and higher plant operating costs.

        Included in operating revenues were unrealized gains (losses) from hedging activities of $1 million and $(5) million for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Unrealized gains (losses) were primarily attributable to the ineffective portion of forward and futures contracts which are derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. The ineffective portion of hedge contracts at Homer City was primarily attributable to changes in the difference between energy prices at PJM West Hub (the settlement point under forward contracts) and the energy prices at the Homer City busbar (the delivery point where power generated by the Homer City facilities is delivered into the transmission system). At March 31, 2007, unrealized losses of $11 million were recognized primarily from the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges related to subsequent periods. See "Market Risk Exposures—Commodity Price Risk" for more information regarding forward market prices.

Homer City Unit 3 Outage—

        On January 29, 2006, the main power transformer on Unit 3 of the Homer City facilities failed resulting in a suspension of operations at this unit. Homer City secured a replacement transformer and Unit 3 returned to service on May 5, 2006. The main transformer failure resulted in claims under Homer City's property and business interruption insurance policies. At March 31, 2007, Homer City had a $13 million receivable related to these claims. Resolution of the claims is subject to a number of uncertainties, including computations of the lost profit during the outage period.

Seasonal Disclosure

        Due to higher electric demand resulting from warmer weather during the summer months and cold weather during the winter months, electric revenues from the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities vary substantially on a seasonal basis. In addition, maintenance outages generally are scheduled during periods of lower projected electric demand (spring and fall) further reducing generation and increasing major maintenance costs which are recorded as an expense when incurred. Accordingly, earnings from the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities are seasonal and have significant variability from quarter to quarter. Seasonal fluctuations may also be affected by changes in market prices. See "Market Risk Exposures—Commodity Price Risk—Energy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Illinois Plants" and "—Energy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Homer City Facilities" for further discussion regarding market prices.

Energy Trading

        EME seeks to generate profit by utilizing its subsidiary, EMMT, to engage in trading activities in those markets in which it is active as a result of its management of the merchant power plants of Midwest Generation and Homer City. EMMT trades power, fuel and transmission congestion primarily in the eastern power grid using products available over the counter, through exchanges and from ISOs. Earnings from energy trading activities were $26 million and $30 million for the first quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

28



San Juan Mesa

        Earnings from the San Juan Mesa wind project decreased $2 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 decline in earnings was primarily due to a decrease in EME's ownership interest of the San Juan Mesa wind project to 75% from 100% in March 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, EME completed the sale of 25% of its ownership interest in the San Juan Mesa wind project to Citi Renewable Investments I LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Citicorp North America, Inc. Proceeds from the sale were $43 million. EME recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $4 million during the first quarter of 2006.

Storm Lake

        Earnings from the Storm Lake wind project increased $2 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 increase in earnings was primarily due to higher generation.

Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates

Big 4 Projects

        Earnings from the Big 4 projects decreased $5 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 decrease in earnings was primarily due to lower steam and energy prices and, for the Kern River project, lower volumes sold in 2007. The earnings from the Big 4 projects included interest expense from Edison Mission Energy Funding Corp. of $1 million and $2 million for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Doga

        Earnings from the Doga project increased $5 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 increase in earnings was primarily due to a planned outage that affected the first quarter of 2006 results.

Other

        Earnings from other unconsolidated affiliates increased $4 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 increase in earnings was attributable to an increase in earnings from the Westside projects primarily due to lower maintenance expenses, partially offset by lower steam and energy prices.

Seasonal Disclosure

        EME's third quarter equity in income from its energy projects is materially higher than equity in income related to other quarters of the year due to warmer weather during the summer months and because a number of EME's energy projects located on the West Coast have power sales contracts that provide for higher payments during the summer months.

Interest Expense to Third Parties

        EME's interest expense to third parties decreased $12 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates resulting from EME's refinancing in June 2006 and an increase of $6 million in capitalized interest in 2007 from wind projects under construction.

Corporate Administrative and General Expenses

        Administrative and general expenses increased $8 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher development costs incurred in 2007 mostly related to wind projects. See "Management's Overview; Critical Accounting Policies—Management's Overview."

Other Income (Expense), Net

        Other income (expense), net decreased $11 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 decrease was primarily attributable to an $8 million gain related to receipt of shares from Mirant Corporation from settlement of a claim recorded during the first quarter of 2006.

Income Taxes

        EME's income tax provision from continuing operations was $84 million and $41 million during the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Income tax benefits are recognized pursuant to a tax-allocation agreement with Edison International. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—EME's Liquidity as a Holding Company—Intercompany Tax-Allocation Agreement." EME recognized $5 million of production tax credits related to wind projects during each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and $2 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 related to estimated state income tax benefits allocated from Edison International.

Results of Discontinued Operations

        Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $3 million and $73 million for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, largely attributable to distributions received from the Lakeland project, discussed below.

30



Lakeland Project

        EME previously owned a 220 MW power plant located in the United Kingdom, referred to as the Lakeland project. An administrative receiver was appointed in 2002 as a result of default by the project's counterparty, a subsidiary of TXU Europe Group plc. Following a claim for termination of the power sales agreement, the Lakeland project received a settlement of £116 million (approximately $217 million). EME is entitled to receive the remaining amount of the settlement after payment of creditor claims. As creditor claims have been settled, EME received payments of £61 million (approximately $106 million) in the first quarter of 2006 and £4 million (approximately $8 million) in January 2007. The after-tax income attributable to the Lakeland project was $5 million and $73 million for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Beginning in 2002, EME reported the Lakeland project as discontinued operations and accounts for its ownership of Lakeland Power on the cost method (earnings are recognized as cash is distributed from the project).

        On May 7, 2007, EME completed a private offering of $1.2 billion of its 7.00% senior notes due 2017, $800 million of its 7.20% senior notes due 2019 and $700 million of its 7.625% senior notes due 2027. EME will pay interest on the senior notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2007.

        EME used the proceeds of the offering of the senior notes, together with cash on hand, to purchase approximately $587 million of EME's outstanding 7.73% senior notes due 2009, to purchase $999.8 million of Midwest Generation's 8.75% second priority senior secured notes due 2034, to repay the outstanding amount ($327.8 million) of Midwest Generation's senior secured term loan facility, and to make a dividend payment of $899 million to MEHC which enabled MEHC to purchase approximately $795.7 million of its 13.5% senior secured notes due 2008. The net proceeds of the offering of the senior notes, together with cash on hand, were also used to pay related tender premiums, consent fees, and accrued interest. EME expects to record a total pre-tax loss of approximately $161 million (approximately $99 million after tax) on early extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2007.

        In addition to the above-mentioned debt refinancing, on May 7, 2007, EME amended its existing $500 million secured credit facility, increasing the total borrowings available thereunder to $600 million, and Midwest Generation plans to replace its existing $500 million senior secured working capital facility with a new senior secured working capital facility with a longer maturity date and less restrictive covenants. Midwest Generation intends to use its new secured working capital facility to provide credit support for its hedging activities, including through the option to extend power hedges by granting the counterparties a first lien to secure such hedges, and general working capital purposes.

EME's Liquidity

        At March 31, 2007, EME and its subsidiaries had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1.7 billion, and EME had a total of $952 million of available borrowing capacity under its $500 million corporate credit facility and a $500 million working capital facility at Midwest Generation. EME's consolidated debt at March 31, 2007 was $3.1 billion. In addition, EME's subsidiaries had $4.2 billion of long-term lease obligations related to the sale-leaseback transactions that are due over periods ranging up to 28 years.

Capital Expenditures

        At March 31, 2007, the three-year estimated capital expenditures by EME's subsidiaries related to existing projects, corporate activities and turbine commitments were as follows:

 
  April through
December 2007

  2008

Expenditures for Existing Projects

        Plant capital expenditures relate to non-environmental projects such as upgrades to boiler and turbine controls and dust collection/mitigation systems, a spare main power transformer, railroad interconnection and an expansion of a coal cleaning plant refuse site. Environmental expenditures relate to environmental projects such as mercury emission monitoring and control and SCR performance improvements at the Homer City facilities and various projects at the Illinois Plants to achieve specified emissions reductions such as installation of mercury controls. EME plans to finance these expenditures with financings, cash on hand or cash generated from operations. See further discussion regarding these and possible additional capital expenditures, including environmental control equipment at the Homer City facilities, under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Management's Overview—Business Strategy," "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Environmental Matters and Regulations—Air Quality Regulation—Clean Air Act—Illinois," and "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Environmental Matters and Regulations—Air Quality Regulation—Mercury Regulation" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

33



Expenditures for New Projects

        EME expects to make substantial investments in new projects during the next three years. In addition to the capital expenditures to purchase turbines set forth in the above table, EME has entered into a letter of intent to purchase 300 turbines (totaling 630 MW) for delivery in 2008 and 2009. The purchase of these turbines is subject to completion of a definitive turbine purchase agreement. EME has also made a reservation fee payment of $8 million for 83 additional turbines (totaling 199 MW) for 2009 delivery, subject to issuance of a notice to proceed by June 30, 2007. Estimated capital expenditures under these agreements would be approximately $940 million, not including the cost to complete construction, if the maximum number of turbines were purchased.

        As of April 30, 2007, EME has a development pipeline of potential wind projects with an installed capacity of approximately 2,700 MW (the development pipeline represents potential projects which EME either owns the project rights or has exclusive negotiation rights). Completion of these projects is dependent upon a number of items which may include, depending on the project's status, completion of a power sales agreement, permits, an interconnection agreement or other agreements necessary to start construction. Additional projects may from time to time be added to the development pipeline, and there is no assurance that the projects included in the development pipeline currently or added in the future will lead to the successful completion of a wind project.

EME's Historical Consolidated Cash Flow

Consolidated Cash Flows from Operating Activities

        Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations decreased $175 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 decrease was primarily attributable to an increase of $146 million in required margin and collateral deposits in 2007 for EME's hedging and trading activities, compared to a decrease of $109 million in 2006. This change resulted from an increase in forward market prices in 2007 from 2006. Partially offsetting this decrease was higher pre-tax income from continuing operations in 2007 compared to 2006.

        Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations decreased $66 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 decrease reflects higher distributions received in 2006 compared to 2007 from the Lakeland power project. See "Results of Operations—Results of Discontinued Operations—Lakeland Project" for more information regarding these distributions.

Consolidated Cash Flows from Financing Activities

        Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations decreased $165 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 decrease was primarily attributable to a repayment of $170 million on Midwest Generation's $500 million working capital facility during the first quarter of 2006.

Consolidated Cash Flows from Investing Activities

        Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased $9 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 increase was primarily due to higher capital expenditures and turbine deposits in 2007, compared to 2006, largely related to the wind projects. Mostly offsetting these increases was net maturities and sales of marketable securities of $83 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to net purchases of marketable securities of

34



$45 million in the first quarter of 2006. In addition, EME paid $18 million towards the purchase price of the Wildorado wind project, and received proceeds of $43 million from the sale of 25% of its ownership interest in the San Juan Mesa project during the first quarter of 2006.

Credit Ratings

Overview

        Credit ratings for EME, Midwest Generation and EMMT, at March 31, 2007, are as follows:

 
  Moody's Rating
  S&P Rating
  Fitch Rating
EME          B1   BB-         BB-
Midwest Generation:            
  First priority senior secured rating          Baa3   BB         BBB-
  Second priority senior secured rating          Ba2   B+         BB+
EMMT   Not Rated   BB-   Not Rated

        Subsequent to March 31, 2007, the rating agencies affirmed the above-mentioned EME ratings in connection with the financing activities discussed above under "Financing Activities" and affirmed the rating for the Midwest Generation first priority secured revolving credit facility, except that S&P increased its rating to BB+ from BB.

        EME cannot provide assurance that its current credit ratings or the credit ratings of its subsidiaries will remain in effect for any given period of time or that one or more of these ratings will not be lowered. EME notes that these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold its securities and may be revised at any time by a rating agency.

        EME does not have any "rating triggers" contained in subsidiary financings that would result in it being required to make equity contributions or provide additional financial support to its subsidiaries.

Credit Rating of EMMT

        The Homer City sale-leaseback documents restrict EME Homer City's ability to enter into trading activities, as defined in the documents, with EMMT to sell forward the output of the Homer City facilities if EMMT does not have an investment grade credit rating from S&P or Moody's or, in the absence of those ratings, if it is not rated as investment grade pursuant to EME's internal credit scoring procedures. These documents include a requirement that the counterparty to such transactions, and EME Homer City, if acting as seller to an unaffiliated third party, be investment grade. EME currently sells all the output from the Homer City facilities through EMMT, which has a below investment grade credit rating, and EME Homer City is not rated. Therefore, in order for EME to continue to sell forward the output of the Homer City facilities, either: (1) EME must obtain consent from the sale-leaseback owner participant to permit EME Homer City to sell directly into the market or through EMMT; or (2) EMMT must provide assurances of performance consistent with the requirements of the sale-leaseback documents. EME has obtained a consent from the sale-leaseback owner participant that will allow EME Homer City to enter into such sales, under specified conditions, through December 31, 2008. EME Homer City continues to be in compliance with the terms of the consent. EME is permitted to sell the output of the Homer City facilities into the spot market at any time. See "Market Risk Exposures—Commodity Price Risk—Energy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Homer City Facilities."

Margin, Collateral Deposits and Other Credit Support for Energy Contracts

        In connection with entering into contracts in support of EME's hedging and energy trading activities (including forward contracts, transmission contracts and futures contracts), EME's subsidiary, EMMT, has entered into agreements to mitigate the risk of nonperformance. Because the credit ratings of EMMT and EME are below investment grade, EME has historically provided collateral in the form of cash and letters of credit for the benefit of counterparties related to accounts payable and unrealized losses in connection with these hedging and trading activities. At March 31, 2007, EMMT had deposited $157 million in cash with brokers in margin accounts in support of futures contracts and had deposited $62 million with counterparties in support of forward energy and transmission contracts. In addition, EME had issued letters of credit of $2 million in support of commodity contracts at March 31, 2007.

        Future cash collateral requirements may be higher than the margin and collateral requirements at March 31, 2007, if wholesale energy prices increase or the amount hedged increases. EME estimates that margin and collateral requirements for energy contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2007 could increase by approximately $410 million over the remaining life of the contracts using a 95% confidence level.

        Midwest Generation has cash on hand and a $500 million working capital facility to support margin requirements specifically related to contracts entered into by EMMT related to the Illinois Plants. At March 31, 2007, Midwest Generation had available $495 million of borrowing capacity under this credit facility. As of March 31, 2007, Midwest Generation had $65 million in loans receivable from EMMT for margin advances. In addition, EME has cash on hand and a $500 million working capital facility to provide credit support to subsidiaries. See "—EME's Liquidity as a Holding Company" for further discussion.

EME's Liquidity as a Holding Company

Overview

        At March 31, 2007, EME had corporate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1.3 billion to meet liquidity needs. See "—EME's Liquidity." Cash distributions from EME's subsidiaries and partnership investments and unused capacity under its corporate credit facility represent EME's major sources of liquidity to meet its cash requirements. The timing and amount of distributions from EME's subsidiaries may be affected by many factors beyond its control. See "—Dividend Restrictions in Major Financings."

36



Historical Distributions Received By EME

        The following table is presented as an aid in understanding the cash flow of EME's continuing operations and its various subsidiary holding companies which depend on distributions from subsidiaries and affiliates to fund general and administrative costs and debt service costs of recourse debt.

The Big 4 projects consist of investments in the Kern River project, Midway-Sunset project, Sycamore project and Watson project. Distributions reflect the amount received by EME after debt service payments by Edison Mission Energy Funding Corp.

Intercompany Tax-Allocation Agreement

        EME is included in the consolidated federal and combined state income tax returns of Edison International and is eligible to participate in tax-allocation payments with other subsidiaries of Edison International in circumstances where domestic tax losses are incurred. The right of EME to receive and the amount of and timing of tax-allocation payments are dependent on the inclusion of EME in the consolidated income tax returns of Edison International and its subsidiaries and other factors, including the consolidated taxable income of Edison International and its subsidiaries, the amount of net operating losses and other tax items of EME, its subsidiaries, and other subsidiaries of Edison International and specific procedures regarding allocation of state taxes. EME receives tax-allocation payments for tax losses when and to the extent that the consolidated Edison International group generates sufficient taxable income in order to be able to utilize EME's consolidated tax losses in the consolidated income tax returns for Edison International and its subsidiaries. Based on the application of the factors cited above, EME is obligated during periods it generates taxable income to make payments under the tax-allocation agreements.

Dividend Restrictions in Major Financings

General

        Each of EME's direct or indirect subsidiaries is organized as a legal entity separate and apart from EME and its other subsidiaries. Assets of EME's subsidiaries are not available to satisfy EME's obligations or the obligations of any of its other subsidiaries. However, unrestricted cash or other assets that are available for distribution may, subject to applicable law and the terms of financing

37



arrangements of the parties, be advanced, loaned, paid as dividends or otherwise distributed or contributed to EME or to its subsidiary holding companies.

Key Ratios of EME's Principal Subsidiaries Affecting Dividends

        Set forth below are key ratios of EME's principal subsidiaries required by financing arrangements for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007:

Subsidiary

EME Homer City (Homer City facilities)   Senior Rent Service Coverage Ratio   Greater than 1.7 to 1   3.20 to 1

        For a more detailed description of the covenants binding EME's principal subsidiaries that may restrict the ability of those entities to make distributions to EME directly or indirectly through the other holding companies owned by EME, refer to "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Dividend Restrictions in Major Financings" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

Capital Improvements

        At March 31, 2007, EME's subsidiaries had firm commitments to spend approximately $133 million during the remainder of 2007 and $25 million in 2008 on capital and construction expenditures. The majority of these expenditures relate to the construction of wind projects. Also included are expenditures for dust collection and mitigation system and environmental improvements. These expenditures are planned to be financed by cash on hand, cash generated from operations or existing subsidiary credit agreements.

Turbine Commitments

        At March 31, 2007, EME had entered into agreements with vendors securing 357 wind turbines (734 MW) with remaining commitments of $508 million in 2007 and $176 million in 2008. EME has the option to purchase an additional 83 wind turbines (199 MW) for delivery in 2009. In addition, EME had entered into an agreement for the purchase of five gas turbines and related equipment for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $145 million with remaining commitments of $53 million in 2007 and $3 million in 2008. In February 2007, EME was advised that it was an unsuccessful bidder in the request for offers conducted by SCE for the supply of generation capacity. EME plans to use the turbines which it had purchased and reserved for this bid for other generation supply opportunities.

38



Fuel Supply Contracts

        Midwest Generation has entered into additional fuel purchase commitments during the first three months of 2007. These additional commitments are currently estimated to be $106 million in 2008, $74 million in 2009, and $77 million in 2010.

Coal Transportation Agreements

        Midwest Generation has contractual agreements for the transport of coal to its facilities. The primary contract is with Union Pacific Railroad (and various delivering carriers) which extends through 2011. Midwest Generation commitments under this agreement are based on actual coal purchases from the PRB. Accordingly, contractual obligations for transportation are based on coal volumes set forth in fuel supply contracts. The increase in transportation commitments entered into during the first three months of 2007 relates to additional volumes of fuel purchases using the terms of existing transportation agreements. These commitments are currently estimated to be $110 million for 2008, $75 million for 2009, and $76 million for 2010.

Contingencies

Challenges of Illinois Power Procurement Auction Results

        EMMT participated successfully in the first Illinois power procurement auction, held in September 2006 according to rules approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission, and entered into two load requirements services contracts through which it is delivering electricity, capacity and specified ancillary, transmission and load following services necessary to serve a portion of Commonwealth Edison's residential and small commercial customer load, using contracted supply from Midwest Generation.

        EME believes that EMMT's actions in regard to the Illinois auction were appropriate and lawful and intends to defend vigorously all of the matters described below. However, at this time EME cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

FERC Complaint—

        On March 16, 2007, the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Illinois filed a complaint at the FERC alleging that the prices resulting from the Illinois auction resulted in unjust and unreasonable rates under the Federal Power Act and that participating wholesale sellers in the Illinois auction had colluded and manipulated the results of the auction. All successful participants in the Illinois auction, including EMMT, were named as respondents. The Office of the Attorney General asked the FERC to order refunds and to revoke the respondents' market-based rate pricing authority.

Class Action Lawsuits—

        On April 4, 2007, EMMT was served with a complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, by Saul R. Wexler, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated electric ratepayers in Illinois, against Commonwealth Edison, Ameren, and all of the successful participants in the Illinois auction, including EMMT. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including EMMT, colluded and conspired to manipulate the auction results by price-fixing. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. On April 26, 2007, the defendants transferred the complaint to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

39



        On March 30, 2007, David Schafer, Tim Perry, Pat Martin and Michael Murray, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated electric ratepayers in Illinois, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against Commonwealth Edison, Ameren, and all of the successful participants in the Illinois auction, including EMMT. EMMT has not been formally served in the case. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including EMMT, colluded and conspired to manipulate the auction results by price-fixing. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. On April 26, 2007, the defendants transferred the complaint to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

        For a discussion of EME's off-balance sheet transactions, refer to "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Off-Balance Sheet Transactions" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no significant developments with respect to EME's off-balance sheet transactions that affect disclosures presented in EME's annual report.

Environmental Matters and Regulations

        For a discussion of EME's environmental matters, refer to "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Environmental Matters and Regulations" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth therein. There have been no significant developments with respect to environmental matters specifically affecting EME since the filing of EME's annual report, except as follows:

Climate Change

        On April 2, 2007, the United States Supreme Court issued an opinion in Massachusetts et. al. v. Environmental Protection Agency, et. al., ruling that US EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions of new motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act and that it has a duty to (i) determine whether greenhouse gas emissions of new motor vehicles contribute to climate change or (ii) offer a reasoned explanation for its failure to make such a determination when presented with a request for a rulemaking on the issue by the state claimants. The Court ruled that US EPA's failure to make the necessary determination or offer a reasonable explanation for its refusal to do so was impermissible. While this case hinged on a provision of the Clean Air Act related to emissions of motor vehicles, a parallel provision of the Clean Air Act applies to stationary sources such as electric generators. EME believes that the Court's Massachusetts decision may spur additional congressional action to require reductions of greenhouse gas emissions by all material sources, including electric generators.

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Introduction

        EME's primary market risk exposures are associated with the sale of electricity and capacity from and the procurement of fuel for its merchant power plants. These market risks arise from fluctuations in electricity, capacity and fuel prices, emission allowances, and transmission rights. Additionally, EME's financial results can be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. EME manages these risks in part by using derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures.

        This section discusses these market risk exposures under the following headings:

 
  Page
Commodity Price Risk   41
Accounting for Energy Contracts   48
Fair Value of Financial Instruments   49
Credit Risk   50
Interest Rate Risk   52
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk   52
Regulatory Matters   52

        For a complete discussion of these issues, read this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in conjunction with EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Commodity Price Risk

Overview

        EME's revenues and results of operations of its merchant power plants will depend upon prevailing market prices for capacity, energy, ancillary services, emission allowances or credits, coal, natural gas and fuel oil, and associated transportation costs in the market areas where EME's merchant plants are located. Among the factors that influence the price of energy, capacity and ancillary services in these markets are:

    prevailing market prices for coal, natural gas and fuel oil, and associated transportation;

    the extent of additional supplies of capacity, energy and ancillary services from current competitors or new market entrants, including the development of new generation facilities and/or technologies that may be able to produce electricity at a lower cost than EME's generating facilities and/or increased access by competitors to EME's markets as a result of transmission upgrades;

    transmission congestion in and to each market area and the resulting differences in prices between delivery points;

    the market structure rules established for each market area and regulatory developments affecting the market areas, including any price limitations and other mechanisms adopted to address volatility or illiquidity in these markets or the physical stability of the system;

    the cost and availability of emission credits or allowances;

    the availability, reliability and operation of competing power generation facilities, including nuclear generating plants, where applicable, and the extended operation of such facilities beyond their presently expected dates of decommissioning;

41


    weather conditions prevailing in surrounding areas from time to time; and

    changes in the demand for electricity or in patterns of electricity usage as a result of factors such as regional economic conditions and the implementation of conservation programs.

        A discussion of commodity price risk for the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities is set forth below.

Introduction

        EME's merchant operations expose it to commodity price risk, which represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular commodity. Commodity price risks are actively monitored by a risk management committee to ensure compliance with EME's risk management policies. Policies are in place which define risk management processes, and procedures exist which allow for monitoring of all commitments and positions with regular reviews by EME's risk management committee. Despite this, there can be no assurance that all risks have been accurately identified, measured and/or mitigated.

        In addition to prevailing market prices, EME's ability to derive profits from the sale of electricity will be affected by the cost of production, including costs incurred to comply with environmental regulations. The costs of production of the units vary and, accordingly, depending on market conditions, the amount of generation that will be sold from the units is expected to vary.

        EME uses "value at risk" to identify, measure, monitor and control its overall market risk exposure in respect of its Illinois Plants, its Homer City facilities, and its trading positions. The use of value at risk allows management to aggregate overall commodity risk, compare risk on a consistent basis and identify the risk factors. Value at risk measures the possible loss over a given time interval, under normal market conditions, at a given confidence level. Given the inherent limitations of value at risk and relying on a single risk measurement tool, EME supplements this approach with the use of stress testing and worst-case scenario analysis for key risk factors, as well as stop-loss limits and counterparty credit exposure limits.

Hedging Strategy

        To reduce its exposure to market risk, EME hedges a portion of its merchant portfolio risk through EMMT, an EME subsidiary engaged in the power marketing and trading business. To the extent that EME does not hedge its merchant portfolio, the unhedged portion will be subject to the risks and benefits of spot market price movements. Hedge transactions are primarily implemented through:

    the use of contracts cleared on the Intercontinental Trading Exchange and the New York Mercantile Exchange,

    forward sales transactions entered into on a bilateral basis with third parties, including electric utilities and power marketing companies, and

    full requirements services contracts or load requirements services contracts for the procurement of power for electric utilities' customers, with such services including the delivery of a bundled product including, but not limited to, energy, transmission, capacity, and ancillary services, generally for a fixed unit price.

        The extent to which EME enters into contracts to hedge its market price risk depends on several factors. First, EME evaluates over-the-counter market prices to determine whether sales at forward

42


market prices are sufficiently attractive compared to assuming the risk associated with fluctuating spot market sales. Second, EME's ability to enter into hedging transactions depends upon its and Midwest Generation's credit capacity and upon the forward sales markets having sufficient liquidity to enable EME to identify appropriate counterparties for hedging transactions.

        In the case of hedging transactions related to the generation and capacity of the Illinois Plants, Midwest Generation is permitted to use its working capital facility and cash on hand to provide credit support for these hedging transactions entered into by EMMT under an energy services agreement between Midwest Generation and EMMT. Utilization of this credit facility in support of hedging transactions provides additional liquidity support for implementation of EME's contracting strategy for the Illinois Plants. In the case of hedging transactions related to the generation and capacity of the Homer City facilities, credit support is provided by EME pursuant to intercompany arrangements between it and EMMT. See "—Credit Risk" below.

Energy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Illinois Plants

        All the energy and capacity from the Illinois Plants is sold under terms, including price and quantity, arranged by EMMT with customers through a combination of bilateral agreements (resulting from negotiations or from auctions), forward energy sales and spot market sales. As discussed further below, power generated at the Illinois Plants is generally sold into the PJM market.

        Midwest Generation sells its power into PJM at spot prices based upon locational marginal pricing. Hedging transactions related to the generation of the Illinois Plants are generally entered into at the Northern Illinois Hub in PJM, and may also be entered into at other trading hubs, including the AEP/Dayton Hub in PJM and the Cinergy Hub in the MISO. These trading hubs have been the most liquid locations for hedging purposes. However, hedging transactions which settle at points other than the Northern Illinois Hub are subject to the possibility of basis risk. See "—Basis Risk" below for further discussion.

        PJM has a short-term market, which establishes an hourly clearing price. The Illinois Plants are situated in the PJM control area and are physically connected to high-voltage transmission lines serving this market.

        The following table depicts the average historical market prices for energy per megawatt-hour during the first three months of 2007 and 2006.

Energy prices were calculated at the Northern Illinois Hub delivery point using hourly real-time prices as published by PJM.

        Forward market prices at the Northern Illinois Hub fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including natural gas prices, transmission congestion, changes in market rules, electricity demand (which in turn is affected by weather, economic growth, and other factors), plant outages in the region, and the amount of existing and planned power plant capacity. The actual spot prices for electricity delivered

(2)
The energy only contracts include forward contracts for the sale of power and futures contracts during different periods of the year and the day. Market prices tend to be higher during on-peak periods and during summer months, although there is significant variability of power prices during different periods of time. Accordingly, the above hedge position at March 31, 2007 is not directly comparable to the 24-hour Northern Illinois Hub prices set forth above.

(3)
Under a load requirements services contract, the amount of power sold is a portion of the retail load of the purchasing utility and thus can vary significantly with variations in that retail load. Retail load depends upon a number of factors, including the time of day, the time of the year and the utility's number of new and continuing customers. Estimated MWh have been forecast based on historical patterns and on assumptions regarding the factors that may affect retail loads in the future. The actual load will vary from that used for the above estimate, and the amount of variation may be material.

(4)
The average price per MWh under a load requirements services contract (which is subject to a seasonal price adjustment) represents the sale of a bundled product that includes, but is not limited to, energy, capacity and ancillary services. Furthermore, as a supplier of a portion of a utility's load, Midwest Generation will incur charges from PJM as a load serving entity. For these reasons, the average price per MWh under a load requirements services contract is not comparable to the sale of power under an energy only contract. The average price per MWh under a load requirements services contract represents the sale of the bundled product based on an estimated customer load profile.

Energy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Homer City Facilities

        All the energy and capacity from the Homer City facilities is sold under terms, including price and quantity, arranged by EMMT with customers through a combination of bilateral agreements (resulting from negotiations or from auctions), forward energy sales and spot market sales. Electric power generated at the Homer City facilities is generally sold into the PJM market. PJM has a short-term market, which establishes an hourly clearing price. The Homer City facilities are situated in the PJM control area and are physically connected to high-voltage transmission lines serving both the PJM and NYISO markets.

        The following table depicts the average historical market prices for energy per megawatt-hour at the Homer City busbar and in PJM West Hub (EME Homer City's primary trading hub) during the first three months of 2007 and 2006:

Energy prices were calculated at the Homer City busbar (delivery point) and PJM West Hub using historical hourly real-time prices provided on the PJM-ISO web-site.

        Forward market prices at the PJM West Hub fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including natural gas prices, transmission congestion, changes in market rules, electricity demand (which in turn is affected by weather, economic growth and other factors), plant outages in the region, and the amount of existing and planned power plant capacity. The actual spot prices for electricity delivered by the Homer City facilities into these markets may vary materially from the forward market prices set forth in the table below.

The above hedge positions include forward contracts for the sale of power during different periods of the year and the day. Market prices tend to be higher during on-peak periods and during summer months, although there is significant variability of power prices during different periods of time. Accordingly, the above hedge position at March 31, 2007 is not directly comparable to the 24-hour PJM West Hub prices set forth above.

        The average price/MWh for Homer City's hedge position is based on PJM West Hub. Energy prices at the Homer City busbar have been lower than energy prices at the PJM West Hub. See "—Basis Risk" below for a discussion of the difference.

Basis Risk

        Sales made from the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities in the real-time or day-ahead market receive the actual spot prices or day-ahead prices, as the case may be, at the busbars (delivery points) of the individual plants. In order to mitigate price risk from changes in spot prices at the individual plant busbars, EME may enter into cash settled futures contracts as well as forward contracts with counterparties for energy to be delivered in future periods. Currently, a liquid market for entering into these contracts at the individual plant busbars does not exist. A liquid market does exist for a settlement point at the PJM West Hub in the case of the Homer City facilities and for a settlement point at the Northern Illinois Hub in the case of the Illinois Plants. EME's hedging activities use these settlement points (and, to a lesser extent, other similar trading hubs) to enter into hedging contracts. EME's revenues with respect to such forward contracts include:

    sales of actual generation in the amounts covered by the forward contracts with reference to PJM spot prices at the busbar of the plant involved, plus,

46


    sales to third parties at the price under such hedging contracts at designated settlement points (generally the PJM West Hub for the Homer City facilities and the Northern Illinois Hub for the Illinois Plants) less the cost of power at spot prices at the same designated settlement points.

        Under PJM's market design, locational marginal pricing, which establishes market prices at specific locations throughout PJM by considering factors including generator bids, load requirements, transmission congestion and losses, can cause the price of a specific delivery point to be higher or lower relative to other locations depending on how the point is affected by transmission constraints. To the extent that, on the settlement date of a hedge contract, spot prices at the relevant busbar are lower than spot prices at the settlement point, the proceeds actually realized from the related hedge contract are effectively reduced by the difference. This is referred to as "basis risk." During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, transmission congestion in PJM has resulted in prices at the Homer City busbar being lower than those at the PJM West Hub by an average of 11%. The monthly average difference during the 12 months ended March 31, 2007 ranged from 3% to 23%. In contrast to the Homer City facilities, during the past 12 months, the prices at the Northern Illinois Hub were substantially the same as those at the individual busbars of the Illinois Plants.

        By entering into cash settled futures contracts and forward contracts using the PJM West Hub and the Northern Illinois Hub (or other similar trading hubs) as settlement points, EME is exposed to basis risk as described above. In order to mitigate basis risk, EME may purchase financial transmission rights and basis swaps in PJM for Homer City. A financial transmission right is a financial instrument that entitles the holder to receive the difference of actual spot prices for two delivery points in exchange for a fixed amount. Accordingly, EME's hedging activities include using financial transmission rights alone or in combination with forward contracts and basis swap contracts to manage basis risk.

Coal Price Risk

        The Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities purchase coal primarily obtained from the Southern PRB of Wyoming and from mines located near the facilities in Pennsylvania, respectively. Coal purchases are made under a variety of supply agreements extending through 2010. The following table summarizes the amount of coal under contract at March 31, 2007 for the remainder of 2007 and the following three years.

 
  Amount of Coal Under Contract
in Millions of Tons(1)

 
  April through
December 2007

  2008
  2009
  2010
Illinois Plants   12.5   14.6   11.7   11.7
Homer City facilities   3.9   2.1   0.8  

(1)
The amount of coal under contract in tons is calculated based on contracted tons and applying an 8,800 Btu equivalent for the Illinois Plants and 13,000 Btu equivalent for the Homer City facilities.

        EME is subject to price risk for purchases of coal that are not under contract. Prices of NAPP coal, which are related to the price of coal purchased for the Homer City facilities, increased during the first quarter of 2007 from 2006 year-end prices. The price of NAPP coal (with 13,000 Btu per pound heat content and <3.0 pounds of SO2 per MMBtu sulfur content) increased to $44.50 per ton at March 23, 2007 from $43.00 per ton at December 15, 2006, as reported by the Energy Information Administration. The 2007 increase in the NAPP coal price was in line with normal market price volatility. Prices of PRB coal (with 8,800 Btu per pound heat content and 0.8 pounds of SO2 per MMBtu sulfur content), which is purchased for the Illinois Plants decreased during the first quarter of 2007 from 2006 year-end prices due to continuing high stockpiles and oversupply of the market. The

47



price of PRB coal decreased from $9.90 per ton at December 15, 2006 to $8.55 per ton at March 23, 2007, as reported by the Energy Information Administration.

Emission Allowances Price Risk

        The federal Acid Rain Program requires electric generating stations to hold SO2 allowances, and Illinois and Pennsylvania regulations implemented the federal NOX SIP Call requirement. As part of the acquisition of the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities, EME obtained the rights to the emission allowances that have been or are allocated to these plants. EME purchases (or sells) emission allowances based on the amounts required for actual generation in excess of (or less than) the amounts allocated under these programs. The average price of purchased SO2 allowances decreased to $478 per ton during the first quarter of 2007 from $664 per ton during 2006. The price of SO2 allowances, determined by obtaining broker quotes and information from other public sources, was $435 per ton as of March 31, 2007.

        For a discussion of environmental regulations related to emissions, refer to "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Environmental Matters and Regulations" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Accounting for Energy Contracts

        EME uses a number of energy contracts to manage exposure from changes in the price of electricity, including forward sales and purchases of physical power and forward price swaps which settle only on a financial basis (including futures contracts). EME follows SFAS No. 133, and under this Standard these energy contracts are generally defined as derivative financial instruments. Importantly, SFAS No. 133 requires changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument to be recognized in earnings at the end of each accounting period unless the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting under the terms of SFAS No. 133. For derivatives that do qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, changes in their fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item settles and is recognized in earnings. However, the ineffective portion of a derivative that qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting is recognized currently in earnings. For further discussion of derivative financial instruments, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Management's Overview; Critical Accounting Estimates—Critical Accounting Estimates—Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

        SFAS No. 133 affects the timing of income recognition, but has no effect on cash flow. To the extent that income varies under SFAS No. 133 from accrual accounting (i.e., revenue recognition based on settlement of transactions), EME records unrealized gains or losses. EME classifies unrealized gains and losses from energy contracts as part of operating revenues. The results of derivative activities are recorded as part of cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

        In assessing the fair value of EME's non-trading derivative financial instruments, EME uses a variety of methods and assumptions based on the market conditions and associated risks existing at each balance sheet date. The fair value of commodity price contracts takes into account quoted market prices, time value of money, volatility of the underlying commodities and other factors. The decrease in fair value of electricity contracts at March 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006 is attributable to an increase in the average market prices for power as compared to contracted prices at March 31, 2007, which is the valuation date.

        Quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value of the financial instruments related to energy trading activities, except for the power sales agreement with an unaffiliated electric utility that EME's subsidiary purchased and restructured and a long-term power supply agreement with another unaffiliated party. EME's subsidiary recorded these agreements at fair value based upon a discounting of future electricity prices derived from a proprietary model using a discount rate equal to the cost of borrowing the non-recourse debt incurred to finance the purchase of the power supply agreement.

Credit Risk

        In conducting EME's hedging and trading activities, EME contracts with a number of utilities, energy companies, financial institutions, and other companies, collectively referred to as counterparties. In the event a counterparty were to default on its trade obligation, EME would be exposed to the risk of possible loss associated with re-contracting the product at a price different from the original contracted price if the non-performing counterparty were unable to pay the resulting liquidated damages owed to EME. Further, EME would be exposed to the risk of non-payment of accounts receivable accrued for products delivered prior to the time a counterparty defaulted.

50



        To manage credit risk, EME looks at the risk of a potential default by counterparties. Credit risk is measured by the loss that would be incurred if counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. EME measures, monitors and mitigates credit risk to the extent possible. To mitigate credit risk from counterparties, master netting agreements are used whenever possible and counterparties may be required to pledge collateral when deemed necessary. EME also takes other appropriate steps to limit or lower credit exposure. Processes have also been established to determine and monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties. EME manages the credit risk on the portfolio based on credit ratings using published ratings of counterparties and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings, and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements. A risk management committee regularly reviews the credit quality of EME's counterparties. Despite this, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be wholly successful in mitigating credit risk or that collateral pledged will be adequate.

        The credit risk exposure from counterparties of merchant energy activities (excluding load requirements services contracts) are measured as either: (i) the sum of 60 days of accounts receivable, current fair value of open positions, and a credit value at risk, or (ii) the sum of delivered and unpaid accounts receivable and the current fair value of open positions. EME's subsidiaries enter into master agreements and other arrangements in conducting hedging and trading activities which typically provide for a right of setoff in the event of bankruptcy or default by the counterparty. Accordingly, EME's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on net exposure under these agreements. At March 31, 2007, the amount of exposure as described above, broken down by the credit ratings of EME's counterparties, was as follows:

S&P Credit Rating

  March 31, 2007
 
  (in millions)

A or higher   $ 12
A-     28
BBB+     55
BBB     38
BBB-     1
Below investment grade    
   
Total   $ 134
   

        EME's plants owned by unconsolidated affiliates in which EME owns an interest sell power under power purchase agreements. Generally, each plant sells its output to one counterparty. Accordingly, a default by a counterparty under a power purchase agreement, including a default as a result of a bankruptcy, would likely have a material adverse effect on the operations of such power plant.

        In addition, coal for the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities is purchased from suppliers under contracts which may be for multiple years. A number of the coal suppliers to the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities do not currently have an investment grade credit rating and, accordingly, EME may have limited recourse to collect damages in the event of default by a supplier. EME seeks to mitigate this risk through diversification of its coal suppliers and through guarantees and other collateral arrangements when available. Despite this, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful in mitigating credit risk from coal suppliers.

        EME's merchant plants sell electric power generally into the PJM market by participating in PJM's capacity and energy markets or transact capacity and energy on a bilateral basis. Sales into PJM accounted for approximately 48% of EME's consolidated operating revenues for the three months

51



ended March 31, 2007. Moody's rates PJM's senior unsecured debt Aa3. PJM, an ISO with over 300 member companies, maintains its own credit risk policies and does not extend unsecured credit to non-investment grade companies. Any losses due to a PJM member default are shared by all other members based upon a predetermined formula. At March 31, 2007, EME's account receivable due from PJM was $89 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, a second customer accounted for 14% of EME's consolidated operating revenues.

        Beginning in January 2007, EME also derived a significant source of its revenues from the sale of energy, capacity and ancillary services generated at the Illinois Plants to Commonwealth Edison under load requirements services contracts. Sales under these contracts accounted for 18% of EME's consolidated operating revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Commonwealth Edison's senior unsecured debt rating was downgraded below investment grade by S&P in October 2006 and by Moody's in March 2007. As a result, Commonwealth Edison is required to pay EME twice a month for sales under these contracts. At March 31, 2007, EME's account receivable due from Commonwealth Edison was $36 million. Commonwealth Edison has stated that it would face possible bankruptcy if an electric rate freeze, which expired January 1, 2007, was re-introduced through legislation which is currently pending in the Illinois General Assembly. In addition, the Illinois Attorney General and other parties have appeals pending before the Illinois Supreme Court pertaining to the Illinois Commerce Commission orders which authorized Commonwealth Edison and Ameren to procure power through a reverse auction process. EME is unable to predict the outcome of the appeals or whether legislation or other policy changes affecting utility rates or procurement practices will be enacted, and, if so, what effect these developments may have on Commonwealth Edison's performance under the load requirements services contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

        Interest rate changes can affect earnings and the cost of capital for capital improvements or new investments in power projects. EME mitigates the risk of interest rate fluctuations by arranging for fixed rate financing or variable rate financing with interest rate swaps, interest rate options or other hedging mechanisms for a number of its project financings. The fair market values of long-term fixed interest rate obligations are subject to interest rate risk. The fair market value of EME's consolidated long-term obligations (including current portion) was $3.4 billion at March 31, 2007, compared to the carrying value of $3.1 billion.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

        EME is exposed to foreign currency risk associated with the purchase of certain turbines in which a portion of the purchase price is denominated in Japanese yen. Under the terms of the related agreement, EME has the option of fixing the foreign currency rate at the time of a notice to proceed which is required by June 30, 2007. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations and Contingencies—Contractual Obligations—Turbine Commitments."

Regulatory Matters

        For a discussion of EME's regulatory matters, refer to "Item 1. Business—Regulatory Matters" of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Article 3. Seller's Obligation

    3.1
    Sale of Wind Turbines; Option to Designate Additional Project; Option to Designate Delivery Location.

                (a)   Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to (i) sell and deliver to Owner, and provide technical advice pursuant to Section 7.3.2 during the assembly, installation and erection of, the Wind Turbines, as described in the Specifications, and (ii) perform the Wind Turbine Work.

                (b)   Additional Project Designation. Seller hereby agrees that Owner has an option to designate up to two additional Projects per year (each, an "Additional Project") for use of the Wind Turbines. This option is valid only if the following occurs:

    (1) Owner exercises the option by notice to Seller designating one or two Additional Project sites, together with the selection of the number and models of turbines to be used at an Additional Project site or sites; delivered to Seller no later than *** months before first WTG shipment (Owner may exercise the option in either one notice or in two separate notices given at different times, provided the last notice must still be delivered no later than *** months prior to first WTG shipment to its respective Project for the applicable delivery year); and,

    (2) Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule each Additional Project so as to enable Seller to utilize the same technical field advisor ("TFA") and commissioning team to

3

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.



    support the Project designated under this Agreement and an Additional Project; provided, however, that Seller agrees to provide multiple TFA and commissioning teams, if necessary, in order to support two Projects in parallel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Owner designates two Additional Projects in a year, the construction and commissioning work shall not be scheduled by Owner(s) in a manner such that Seller's TFA team will be required to work in a parallel time frame on the construction and commissioning work of more than two Projects. The additional costs associated with the Additional Projects shall be as set forth in Exhibit W and no Change Order shall be issued as a result thereof; and

    (3) each Additional Project will utilize not less than *** Wind Turbines, nor more than *** turbines unless covered differently through a formal Change Order; and

    (4) no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following such election of an Additional Project, Owner and Seller shall enter into an Additional Supply Agreement containing the same terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, but with the following changes:

      a) Changes to the Site Description, and,

      b) Changes to the Site Plan and Site Conditions; and,

      c) The Additional Supply Agreements shall not contain a Section 3.1(b), and;

      d) Changes to the method of delivery, including any changed Inland Transportation Quote elected by Owner, as the case may be; and;

      e) If the Additional Supply Agreement designates an amount of Wind Turbines between *** and ***, the Availability Guarantee set forth in Article 11 of the Additional Supply Agreement shall be amended as follows:

        Number of turbines selected = ("Y")

        The Availability Guaranty percentage number shall be: ***, rounded to two decimals. By way of example, if the Additional Supply Agreement designates *** turbines, the Availability Guaranty shall be adjusted to ***%.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the additional site is adjacent to an existing site designated by Owner for MHI wind turbines such as *** or ***, and the Additional Supply Agreement designates an amount of Wind Turbines comprising *** through *** (both inclusive), then the Availability Guarantee percentage number shall be: ***, rounded to two decimals. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the additional site is designated adjacent to such an existing site, and the Additional Supply Agreement designates an amount of Wind Turbines more than 24, the Availability Guarantee percentage shall be ***%. By way of example, if the Additional Supply Agreement designates 23 turbines, the Availability Guarantee shall be adjusted to ***%.

4

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.



      f) The Contract Price of the Additional Supply Agreement shall be calculated by:

        (A) Multiplying the Unit Price in the Agreement times a number ("Z") as follows:

          Z = the number of Wind Turbines Owner elects for the Additional Supply Agreement.

          By way of example, if Owner designates 40 Wind Turbines for the additional site, the Additional Supply Agreement Contract Price shall be as follows: Unit Price × 40, or by way of another example, if Owner designates another 21 Wind Turbines for the second additional site after the designation of 40 turbines for the first additional site, the Additional Supply Agreement Contract Price for the second Additional Project shall be Unit Price × 21 and;

        (B) The Additional Supply Agreement Contract Price in (A) above shall then be adjusted upwards in the amounts set forth in Exhibit W, and the amount of the Inland Transportation Quote, if elected by Owner; and,

    (5) no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the election to have an Additional Supply Agreement, Owner shall cause and issue a Change Order for this Agreement that:

      a) Reduces the Contract Price. The original Contract Price of this Agreement shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of multiplying (i) the Unit Price in this Agreement by (ii) the total number of Wind Turbines Owner selected for the site or sites contemplated for the Additional Supply Agreement, and;

      b) Adjusts the Availability Guarantee. If the remaining number of Wind Turbine provided under this Agreement after the designation of additional site or sites under the Additional Supply Agreement is less than ***, the Availability Guaranty set forth in Article 11 of this Agreement shall be amended as follows:

        Number of turbines remained to be supplied under this Agreement = ("y")

        The availability guaranty percentage number shall be: ***, rounded to two decimal places. By way of example, if the remaining number of Wind Turbine supplied under this Agreement designates is *** turbines, the availability Guaranty in the original Agreement shall be adjusted to ***%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if both the original Agreement and an Additional Supply Agreement are each allocated not less than *** Wind Turbines, then the Availability Guaranty for both projects shall be ***percent (***%) as set forth in Section 11.1.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the additional site is adjacent to an existing site designated by Owner for MHI wind turbines such as *** or ***, and the Additional Supply Agreement designates an amount of Wind Turbines comprising *** through *** (both inclusive), then the Availability Guarantee percentage number shall be: ***, rounded to two decimals. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the additional site is designated adjacent to such an existing site, and the Additional Supply Agreement designates an amount of Wind Turbines more than ***, the Availability Guarantee

5

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.



        percentage shall be ***%. By way of example, if the Additional Supply Agreement designates *** turbines, the Availability Guarantee shall be adjusted to ***%.

      c) Upon Owner's designation of two Additional Projects for a year, deletes this Section 3.1(b)for such year. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.1(b) remains valid even if Owner designates one Additional Project, provided however the number of Additional Projects which Owner can designate shall be changed from two (2) to one (1) for the affected year;

      d) Seller and Owner consent and agree that the Contract Price under this Agreement, as adjusted above in 5(a) above, shall apply retroactively to any payment amounts set forth in Section 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.11 and 5.2.12 that have been received by Seller. Seller shall not be required to reimburse any overpayments; instead, the overpayment amount shall be immediately and automatically applied, and considered as payments under the Additional Supply Agreement. A Change Order shall issue for this Agreement, and the Additional Supply Agreement shall itself include a provision, that memorializes reallocation of such payments.

                (c)   Delivery Location Designation. Subject to approval of the Inland Transportation Quote provided in Section 7.1.2.3, Owner shall designate the delivery location for the Wind Turbines, which location shall be at the applicable Site. Owner shall pay Seller for all actual and reasonable costs of such transportation in accordance with the Transportation Adjustment set forth in Section 5.1.3.

                (d)   In addition to the creation of separate agreements for Additional Projects, if Owner designates a Project for the 2009 delivery units that is different from the Project(s) for any of the 2008 delivery units, then at Owner's request, Owner and Seller shall enter into a separate agreement for such 2009 delivery units on all of the same terms and conditions as contained in this Agreement that apply to the 2009 delivery units so that the 2009 delivery units are governed by a separate agreement from the 2008 delivery units.

    3.2
    Seller's Duties and Responsibilities.

detail to demonstrate that Mechanical Completion has been achieved in accordance with the Requirements for each of the WTGs listed in such certificate, provided that Seller shall not be required to perform the review of more than three (3) Mechanical Completion Certificates per day.

                (c)   Within three (3) days following the date on which a Mechanical Completion Certificate is received by Seller, Seller shall review and inspect, on a "spot check" basis, certain WTGs for purposes of satisfying itself that the matters set forth in the Mechanical Completion Checklist attached to such Mechanical Completion Certificate with respect to the assembly, erection and installation of such WTG have been performed in accordance with the Turbine Installation and Erection Manual, and within such three (3) day period, Seller shall either (i) countersign and deliver to Owner the Mechanical Completion Certificate for such WTG to indicate its agreement that such Mechanical Completion has been achieved, or (ii) if reasonable cause exists for doing so, notify Owner of Seller's belief that Mechanical Completion has not been achieved with respect to those certain WTGs specified therein. Seller's review and inspection shall include spot checks and such checks shall be, in part, based on Seller's professional judgment of the WTG to assist Buyer in identifying whether assembly, erection and installation of the relevant WTG has been performed in accordance with Seller's Turbine Installation and Erection Manual. Any notice issued pursuant to this subparagraph (c) shall state in detail Seller's reasons for believing that any such WTG has not achieved Mechanical Completion and advise Owner and BOP Contractor of the actions required to achieve Mechanical Completion of such WTGs.

    (i)
    If and to the extent Owner reasonably agrees with such advice, Owner shall cause BOP Contractor to diligently complete the same in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the Requirements.

    (ii)
    If Owner does not agree with such advice of Seller, Owner shall notify Seller and Independent Engineer of the same and, within one day following receipt thereof, Independent Engineer shall report in writing whether Mechanical Completion has been achieved. If the Independent Engineer shall report that Mechanical Completion has been achieved, such report shall constitute the Mechanical Completion Certificate for all purposes, and the fees and expense of Independent Engineer in preparing such report shall be for the sole account of Seller. If the Independent Engineer shall report that Mechanical Completion has not been achieved, such report shall identify those actions remaining to be achieved, and the fees and expense of Independent Engineer in preparing such report shall be for the sole account of Owner. Owner shall cause BOP Contractor to diligently complete the same in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the Requirements. Upon completing such actions, Owner shall issue a new Mechanical Completion Certificate for such WTG for reconsideration by Seller pursuant to this subparagraph (ii). Such procedures shall be repeated as necessary until Mechanical Completion has been achieved for such WTG.

                (d)   For the purpose of this Agreement, the date of achievement of Mechanical Completion for any individual WTG shall be the date on which the last iteration of the Mechanical Completion Certificate for such Wind Turbine was countersigned by Seller or the date the Independent Engineer's report constituting the Mechanical Completion Certificate is issued, as applicable. Seller shall not unreasonably withhold its signature to the Mechanical Completion Certificate and Seller's failure to either countersign such certificate or notify Owner of Seller's reasons for the failure to do so within such three (3) day period shall constitute a deemed signature by Seller of the Mechanical Completion Certificate.

                (e)   By countersigning the Mechanical Completion Certificate (or by providing notice of Seller's belief that Mechanical Completion is not completed), or providing visual review and technical advice services, or accepting the Wind Turbine for Commissioning, Seller does not assume any liability or responsibility with respect to any of Owner's Work or other matter for which Owner requests technical support services, including, without limitation, the correct performance of Mechanical Completion and the achievement of timely completion of the Mechanical Completion.

                7.3.2    Technical Assistance.

                (a)   Scope of Technical Assistance. For the fees and charges described in subsection (c) below, Seller shall make available at the Site a technical advisor (hereafter the "Technical Advisor") to provide to the engineers of Owner and Owner's contractors technical advice in the understanding and application of the Turbine Installation and Erection Manual during the assembly, installation and erection by Owner through Mechanical Completion of each Wind Turbine. The Technical Advisor shall be obligated to notify Owner of any irregularity or error in the assembly, installation and erection of each WTG that it may discover, and any other aspect of the Owner's Work that is defective or improper that Seller may discover. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller is not responsible for the errors in the work of others (not under Seller's control), regardless of whether or not Seller discovers or detects defects, etc. in such work. The Technical Advisor shall not, and no action or inaction of the Technical Advisor shall create any obligation or liability in Seller to, (i) supervise the employees of Owner or any of its contractors, (ii) prepare tools, machinery and materials for Owner's Work, (iii) schedule or reschedule Owner's Work, (iv) evaluate the progress of Owner's Work, or (v) provide quality control or quality assurance of Owner's Work; the description of the foregoing excluded services is not intended to be an exhaustive list, and is provided for purposes of example, and shall not create any implication that services not specifically excluded in this Agreement are therefore included. In the event that Owner shall request services from the Technical Advisor that are not required to be provided hereunder, Seller shall not be obligated to provide such services unless and until Seller and Owner agree in writing in an amendment of this Agreement upon the scope of such services and the compensation therefore. The Technical Advisor shall rely exclusively upon the communications and notices provided by Owner's Representative appointed pursuant to Section 7.7.2. Seller reserves the right to evacuate the Technical Advisor upon the occurrence of, and for so long as, any event or condition exists that threatens the health or safety of the Technical Advisor or that unreasonably hinders the Technical Advisor in providing technical advice.

                (b)   Request for Technical Advise. If Owner has any doubt in respect of, or does not know how to proceed regarding, its assembly, installation and erection work, Owner's representative may notify Seller and, should Owner elect to do so, obtain technical advice from Seller's Technical Advisor prior to taking any further action. In the event that Owner or Owner's employees, or employees of Owner's contractors fail to comply with any advice given by Seller's Technical Advisor, Seller shall have no liability or responsibility arising from such failure, including, without limitation, with respect to any subsequent malfunction of that WTG to the extent attributable to such failure.

                (c)   Fee for Technical Advisory Service. The fee for the services described in Section 7.3.2 above shall be calculated pursuant to the Technical Advisor Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit L (from time to time, the "Technical Advisory Fee"), which shall be payable in accordance with Section 5.2.8.

    7.4
    Commissioning.

                (A)  Provided that Owner has confirmed to Seller in writing that Energization has occurred pursuant to Section 4.8 (or sufficient and reliable electricity is otherwise available from a temporary transformer or generator before grid connection), Seller shall commence the Commissioning of each WTG promptly following the date of achievement of Mechanical Completion as provided in Section 7.3 for such WTG. Subject to Section 4.1, Seller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Commissioning of one (1) WTG per three (3) days, provided that Energization has occurred in a timely manner, and at least one (1) WTG which has achieved Mechanical Completion, is available at the beginning of each three (3) days. Seller shall complete the Commissioning no later than Guaranteed Project Commissioning Date. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of the definition of Excusable Delay, wind speed below five (5) meters per second or in excess of 15 meters per second (both in 10 minute averages) which occurs in total for more than four hours per day during the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. with respect to any Wind Turbine shall be considered Excusable Delay (and result in an extension on a hour by hour basis) in performing Commissioning of that Wind Turbine.

                (B)  In the event that Seller discovers during Commissioning that any part of the Mechanical Completion work was not performed satisfactorily notwithstanding Section 7.3.1(d), Seller shall promptly inform Owner of the same and if Owner agrees, upon Owner's election and with Seller's consent, either (i) Seller will correct, or will cause Commissioning Subcontractor to correct, at the Owner's expense, the part of the Mechanical Completion that was not satisfactorily performed, or (ii) Owner shall direct BOP Contractor to correct the part of the Mechanical Completion that was not satisfactorily performed. Any time spent by Seller or BOP Contractor correcting, pursuant to the foregoing sentence, any part of the Mechanical Completion that was not satisfactorily performed shall be considered Excusable Delay in performing Commissioning to the extent it actually delays Commissioning. In the event of a disagreement between Seller and Owner as to whether an actual delay in Commissioning will result, Owner shall notify Independent Engineer of the same and, within one day following notification thereof, Independent Engineer shall report in writing his non-binding opinion on whether or not an actual delay in Commissioning will result from such corrective work.

                (C)  When Seller has completed the procedures as to a particular Wind Turbine outlined in the Commissioning Procedures and believes that it has achieved Commissioning as to that particular Wind Turbine, Seller shall so notify Owner in writing (which notice shall be accompanied by the completed Commissioning Procedures for such Wind Turbine indicating successful achievement of such items listed thereon). Immediately thereafter, Owner shall conduct those investigations and inspections as it deems necessary or appropriate to determine if Commissioning of such Wind Turbine has in fact been achieved. Within three (3) days after the receipt of Seller's notice by Owner, Owner shall either (i) notify Seller that Commissioning of the Wind Turbine has been achieved, or (ii) notify Seller that Commissioning of the Wind Turbine has not been achieved and stating the detailed justifiable reasons therefore, other than minor items which do not prevent the safe operation of the WTG in accordance with the operating parameters specified in the Specifications. Should Owner fail to respond to Seller's notice within three (3) Business Days, the corresponding Wind Turbine shall be deemed to have achieved Commissioning (provided that synchronization has occurred and such WTG is otherwise capable of continuous operation). Such deemed Commissioning shall, however, apply only for purposes of calculating the liquidated damages set forth in Section 8.3, and determining whether or not Project Substantial Completion as set forth in Section 7.5.2 has been achieved. Further, such deemed Commissioning shall not excuse Seller from performing its obligations under this Agreement (other than those obligations described in the immediately preceding sentence), including, to the extent

27

possible, finalizing the Punch List and completing other work necessary in order for such WTG to achieve WTG Substantial Completion and Project Substantial Completion. Once a Wind Turbine has achieved Commissioning, Seller and Owner shall thereafter mutually prepare and execute a Certificate of Commissioning in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N establishing and identifying the Commissioning date of such Wind Turbine, which date shall be the date Seller delivered the last notice to Owner indicating achievement of Commissioning. In the event Owner provides written notice that Commissioning of the Wind Turbine has not been achieved, including detailed justifiable reasons thereof, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately correct and/or remedy the conditions which so prevent Commissioning of the Wind Turbine. Upon completion of such corrective and/or remedial actions, Seller shall resubmit its notice stating that it believes Commissioning of the Wind Turbine has been achieved (which notice shall be accompanied by the completed Commissioning Procedures for such Wind Turbine indicating successful achievement of such items listed thereon) and the foregoing procedures shall be repeated until Commissioning of the Wind Turbine has in fact been achieved.

                (D)  Concurrently with the achievement of Commissioning for the last of the Wind Turbines at the Site ("Project Commercial Operation"), and with the execution of the Certificate of Commissioning therefore, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Owner a Certificate of Project Commercial Operation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P to be dated with the date of the Commercial Operation Certificate for such last Wind Turbine at the Site (the "Project Commercial Operation Date").

                (E)  Upon the achievement of Commissioning of a Wind Turbine, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Owner may operate the Wind Turbine. Seller covenants to carry out all of the Wind Turbine Work remaining after Commissioning with as minimal amount of interference with the operation of the Wind Turbines as possible; provided, however, that Seller may direct Owner to shut down any Wind Turbine prior to WTG Substantial Completion if (i) Seller desires to undertake at its cost any repairs or adjustments to such Wind Turbine that Seller believes are necessary or appropriate to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) Seller believes such action is necessary or desirable to protect the Wind Turbine from damage.

    7.5
    WTG Substantial Completion

                7.5.1    WTG Substantial Completion. WTG Substantial Completion for each WTG shall be achieved when all of the following criteria have been satisfied with respect to such WTG by Seller:

                (a)   Commissioning of the WTG has been achieved in accordance with Commissioning Procedures in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O;

                (b)   All Wind Turbine Work (excluding items described in the Punch List) required to be performed hereunder or under any Change Orders prior to the achievement of WTG Substantial Completion has been completed in accordance with the requirements hereof;

                (c)   Seller and Owner agree on the Punch List items for such WTG.

                        (A)    Notice of WTG Substantial Completion. Following a determination by Seller that WTG Substantial Completion has been achieved, Seller shall deliver a WTG Substantial Completion Certificate to Owner identifying the date on which WTG Substantial Completion occurred, in the form of Exhibit Q.

28

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.


                        (B)    Within three (3) Business Days following the date on which a WTG Substantial Completion Certificate is received by Owner, and if reasonable cause exists for doing so, Owner may notify Seller of Owner's belief that WTG Substantial Completion has not been achieved. Any notice issued pursuant to this Section shall state in detail Owner's justifiable reasons for believing that WTG Substantial Completion has not occurred, other than minor items which do not prevent the safe operation of the WTG in accordance with the operating parameters specified in the Specification, and advise Seller of the actions required to achieve WTG Substantial Completion ("Owner's Non-completion Notice").

                        (C)    If Seller reasonably agrees with such advice in Owner's Non-completion Notice, Seller shall diligently complete the same in accordance with the Requirements, at its sole cost and expense. Upon completing such actions, Seller shall issue a new Certificate of Substantial Completion for reconsideration by Owner.

                        (D)    If Seller does not agree with the advice in Owner's Non-completion Notice, Seller shall notify Owner and Independent Engineer of the same and, within five (5) days following receipt thereof, Independent Engineer shall report in writing whether Substantial Completion has been achieved. If the Independent Engineer shall report that Substantial Completion has been achieved, such report shall constitute the Certificate of Substantial Completion for all purposes, and the fees and expense of Independent Engineer in preparing such report shall be for the sole account of Owner. If the Independent Engineer shall report that Substantial Completion has not been achieved, such report shall identify those actions remaining to be achieved, and the fees and expense of Independent Engineer in preparing such report shall be for the sole account of Seller. Seller shall thereupon diligently complete the actions in accordance with the Requirements. Upon completing such actions, Seller shall issue a new Certificate of Substantial Completion for reconsideration by Owner.

                        (E)    The procedures described in subsections 7.5.1(B) through 7.5.1(D) above shall be repeated as necessary until WTG Substantial Completion has been achieved. For the purpose of this Agreement, the date of achievement of WTG Substantial Completion shall be the first to occur of (i) the date on which Owner and Seller agree that WTG Substantial Completion was achieved, (ii) the date that the WTG Substantial Completion Certificate is fully signed by Seller and Owner, (iii) the date that Seller delivers to Owner a WTG Substantial Completion Certificate if Owner does not timely issue an Owner's Non-completion Notice, or (iv) the date that the Independent Engineer certifies that WTG Substantial Completion was achieved.

                7.5.2    Project Substantial Completion. Substantial Completion of the Project shall occur upon the date (the "Project Substantial Completion Date") (i) in which all of the WTGs at Site have achieved WTG Substantial Completion ("Project Substantial Completion"), (ii) receipt by Owner of a conditional waiver and release, in the form specified in Exhibit K, upon progress payment of all liens, security interests or encumbrances that Seller or any of its subcontractors may have against Owner, the Project and the Site, to the extent that payments have been received by Seller for Wind Turbine Work performed and goods furnished; provided, however, in the event less than ten (10) percent of WTGs are delayed for more than fourteen (14) days in achieving WTG Substantial Completion for any reason (the "Delayed WTGs"), the Project Substantial Completion Date shall be the date of WTG Substantial Completion of the last of the WTGs which are not delayed; provided, however, that the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve WTG Substantial Completion for the Delayed WTGs concurrently; and provided, further, in the event ten (10) percent or more WTGs are materially delayed in achieving WTG Substantial Completion for any reason, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve WTG Substantial Completion for such WTGs concurrently and shall make equitable

accommodation to reflect the same in the provision of Warranty, Major Defect and Availability Guaranty and in the Service Agreement with respect to Quarterly Fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any WTG has achieved Commissioning, then Owner shall have the option to operate (for commercial purposes) such WTG provided that Owner provides written notice to Seller identifying the WTG(s) which it intends to operate. Owner acknowledges that any WTG which it operates for commercial purposes prior to Project Substantial Completion shall not qualify for the Warranty, Major Defect and Availability Guaranty provisions set forth in Articles 10 and 11 and shall instead be subject solely to special warranty provisions set forth in the Service Agreement.

                        (A)    Seller shall give Owner written notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date by which Seller expects that it will achieve Project Substantial Completion and shall provide on such date the written Punch List. The Punch List shall not exceed the amount equal to $*** multiplied by the number of WTGs in the aggregate (on a Project by Project basis) on the date of Project Substantial Completion. Owner shall be entitled to verify and, if necessary, correct or add to, the Punch List provided by Seller, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Seller's notice. In the event that Owner and Seller fail to reach an agreement on the Punch List by the expected occurrence of the Project Substantial Completion so notified by Seller, either Party shall notify Independent Engineer of the same and request a written non-binding opinion on the items in dispute. Notwithstanding the achievement of Project Substantial Completion, Seller shall remain obligated to complete the items on the Punch List in accordance with this Agreement.

                        (B)    In the event that Project Substantial Completion is not achieved due to reasons not attributable to Seller or its Affiliates by the Scheduled Substantial Completion Date, and such failure to achieve Project Substantial Completion continues for a period of 60 days from the Scheduled Substantial Completion Date (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by Owner and Seller), and Seller has otherwise satisfied all requirements for Project Substantial Completion required to be satisfied by it, then Project Substantial Completion will be deemed to have occurred ("Deemed Project Substantial Completion") for all purposes of this Agreement, and a deemed Project Substantial Completion Certificate shall be issued and accepted.

    7.6
    Final Completion

                        (A)    Seller shall cause Final Completion to occur following the achievement of the Project Substantial Completion. By no later than the Scheduled Final Completion Date, Seller shall deliver to Owner a signed Final Completion Certificate in the form of Exhibit R to this Agreement certifying that the Project has achieved Final Completion. Upon receipt by Owner from Seller of a Final Completion Certificate, Owner shall within three (3) Business Days countersign the same and deliver it to Seller, except as provided in Section 7.6(B).

                        (B)    Within three (3) Business Days following the date on which a Final Completion Certificate is received by Owner, and if reasonable cause exists for doing so, Owner may notify Seller of Owner's belief that Final Completion has not been achieved. Any notice issued pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall state in detail Owner's justifiable reasons for believing that Final Completion has not occurred and advise Seller of the actions required to achieve Final Completion ("Owner's Non-finalization Notice").

                        (C)    If Seller agrees with such advice in Owner's Non-finalization Notice, Seller shall diligently complete the same at its cost in accordance with the Requirements. Upon completing such actions, Seller shall issue a new Final Completion Certificate for reconsideration by Owner.

30

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.



                        (D)    If Seller does not agree with the advice in Owner's Non-finalization Notice, Seller shall notify Owner and Independent Engineer of the same and, within five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof, Independent Engineer shall report in writing whether Final Completion has been achieved. If the Independent Engineer shall report that Final Completion has been achieved, such report shall constitute the Final Completion Certificate for all purposes, and the fees and expense of Independent Engineer in preparing such report shall be for the sole account of Owner. If the Independent Engineer shall report that Final Completion has not been achieved, such report shall identify those actions remaining to be achieved, and the fees and expense of Independent Engineer in preparing such report shall be for the sole account of Seller; Seller shall thereupon diligently complete at its cost the actions in accordance with the Requirements. Upon completing such actions, Seller shall issue a new Final Completion Certificate for reconsideration by Owner.

                        (E)    The procedures described in subsections (B) through (D) above shall be repeated as necessary until Final Completion has been achieved. For the purpose of this Agreement, the date of achievement of Final Completion shall be the first to occur of (i) the date on which Owner and Seller agree that Final Completion was achieved, (ii) the date that the Certificate of Final Completion is fully signed by Seller and Owner, (iii) the date that Seller delivers to Owner a Final Completion Certificate if Owner does not timely issue an Owner's Non-finalization Notice, or (iv) the date that the Independent Engineer certifies that Final Completion was achieved.

                        (F)    "Final Completion" means the achievement of the following milestones: (a) Substantial Completion has occurred; (b) Owner has received a final waiver, in the form specified in Exhibit K-1, of all contractual liens and mechanics liens, materialmen's liens and similar liens available under Applicable Law that Seller or any of its subcontractors may have against Owner, the Project or the Site for work performed and/or goods furnished; (c) Owner has received from Seller either (i) final waivers of mechanics' and materialmen's liens, in the form specified in Exhibit K-1, from Seller and, if Seller shall have used any subcontractors, all subcontractors, for work performed and/or goods furnished, or (ii) if Seller is unable to obtain all such waivers described in clause (c) of this subsection (F), a certificate or undertaking letter (subject to approval of the Financing Parties) indemnifying Owner, the Project and the Site from any and all claims made by Seller's subcontractors or vendors on account of such liens for work performed and/or goods furnished; (d) all of Seller's supplies, personnel, rubbish and waste have been removed from the Site; (e) all Punch List items have been corrected or performed to Owner's reasonable satisfaction; and (f) Seller has issued and Owner has countersigned a Final Completion Certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit R, or achievement of Final Completion can be evidenced by an alternative method provided under Section 7.6(E) and WTG Substantial Completion for all WTGs (including any delayed WTGs referenced in Section 7.5 above).

                        (G)    In the event that Final Completion is not achieved due to reasons not attributable to Seller, and such failure to achieve Final Completion continues for a period of 180 days from the Scheduled Substantial Completion Date (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by Owner and Seller), and Seller has otherwise satisfied all requirements for Final Completion required to be satisfied by it, then Final Completion will be deemed to have occurred, and a deemed Final Completion Certificate shall be issued and accepted.

                        (H)    If any certificate described in Sections 7.3 through 7.6, inclusive, is not issued timely due to the breach of this Agreement by the party assigned to issue the certificate (a "Certification Default"), the parties shall immediately begin discussions in good faith for a period up to seven (7) Business Days to endeavor to reach a mutually acceptable agreement with respect to such

Certification Default. If no mutually acceptable agreement is reached during such period, such disagreement will be referred to dispute resolution in accordance with Article 20.

    7.7
    Representatives.

                7.7.1    Seller's Representative.

        Seller shall appoint an individual to act as the representative and coordinator with respect to this Agreement on Seller's behalf (the "Seller's Representative") and shall so notify Owner in writing. The Seller's Representative shall act as the liaison for Seller's communications with Owner. The Seller's Representative shall be present at the Site during the erection and installation of each WTG by Owner. Seller's Representative shall not have the power or authority to amend or modify this Agreement.

                7.7.2    Owner's Representative.

        Owner shall appoint an individual to act as the representative and coordinator with respect to this Agreement and the Site on Owner's behalf (the "Owner's Representative") and shall so notify Seller in writing. The Owner's Representative shall act as the liaison for Owner's communications with Seller. Owner's Representative shall not have the power or authority to amend or modify this Agreement.

    7.8
    Coordination with SCADA Contractor.

        Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Computer Monitoring System will be supplied and installed by the SCADA Contractor or the BOP Contractor on behalf of Owner. Without limitation of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, Seller hereby agrees to cooperate with the SCADA Contractor in the installation of the Computer Monitoring System, including, without limitation, providing such information as shall be reasonably required to complete the interface between the Computer Monitoring System and the WTGs and the testing of the Computer Monitoring System on a timely basis; provided that (i) the SCADA Contractor has executed such confidentiality and restricted use undertaking to Seller as Seller may reasonably request, and (ii) Seller shall not be required to deviate from the Requirements. Seller shall notify Owner, within forty-five (45) days after the NTP Date, of the contact information for Seller's Representative to assist the SCADA Contractor with such questions as the SCADA Contractor shall reasonably make concerning the interface of the Computer Monitoring System with the WTGs.


Article 8. Delays and Delay Damages

    8.1
    ***.

        Seller shall not be responsible or assume any liability for ***, in any event or for any reason other than the remedies pursuant to ***.

    8.2
    Delivery Delay Damages.

                8.2.1    If Delivery of any Wind Turbine is not achieved by such Wind Turbine's Guaranteed Delivery Date, including any grace periods in accordance with the Delivery Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D, Seller shall compensate Owner for the actual additional incremental costs incurred by Owner due to such delay up to an amount not to exceed *** US Dollars (US $***) per Wind Turbine ("WTG Delivery Delay Damages") per day, multiplied by the number of Wind Turbines so delayed. Owner's actual damages shall equal Owner's increased incremental costs resulting from such delay (if

32

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.



no such increased incremental costs arise, Seller shall not owe Owner any actual damages, as Owner shall have experienced a "no harm—no foul" situation).

                8.2.2    After the last delivery of Wind Turbines for a Project, all WTG Delivery Delay Damages shall be due and payable. Payment of such WTG Delivery Delay Damages shall constitute the sole liability of Seller and the exclusive remedy of Owner for Seller's failure to meet the Guaranteed Delivery Date for such Wind Turbines.

    8.3
    Commissioning Delay Liquidated Damages.

                8.3.1    Seller agrees to commence Commissioning of each WTG as soon as possible pursuant to Section 7.4 (A). Seller shall complete Commissioning of each WTG no later than its respective Guaranteed WTG Commissioning Completion Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Guaranteed WTG Commissioning Completion Date" for a particular WTG shall be an average of (i) *** days after the commencement date of Commissioning for such WTG which doesn't start in December 2008 or (ii) *** days after the commencement date of Commissioning for such WTG during December 2008, provided, however, that (x) Seller shall (i) during months other than December 2008, commence Commissioning of another WTG within one (1) Business Day after the completion of Commissioning of the previous WTG or (ii) during December 2008, commence Commissioning of another WTG within one (1) day, except for a holiday, after the completion of Commissioning of the previous WTG and (y) the Guaranteed WTG Commissioning Date shall be extended, hour by hour, upon the occurrence of, and for so long as any of the following event or condition exists (a) wind speed below five (5) meters per second or in excess of 15 meters per second (both in 10 minutes average) occurs in total for more than four (4) hours per day during the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., (b) any other events set forth in this Agreement, which prevent Seller from performing the Wind Turbine Work including but not limited to the event of Force Majeure, Cancellation and Termination, Change Orders, Change in Law, Owner's Delay, and site condition that threatens the health and/or safety of Seller's employees, or (c) unless otherwise mutually agreed. If Commissioning of WTGs is not achieved by the Guaranteed WTG Commissioning Completion Date calculated by the sum of the actual completion days for Commissioning of all WTGs divided by the number of WTGs with the consideration of Excusable Delay applicable herein, Seller shall pay as liquidated damages to Buyer an amount equal to *** US Dollars (US $***) per WTG ("WTG Commissioning Delay Liquidated Damages") for each day multiplied by the number of WTGs.

                8.3.2    Payment and Treatment of Commissioning Delay Liquidated Damages. Concurrently with the Project Substantial Completion, all WTG Commissioning Delay Liquidated Damages shall be due and payable and payment of such liquidated damages shall constitute the sole liability of Seller and the exclusive remedy of the Owner for Seller's failure to meet the Guaranteed WTG Commissioning Completion Date.

    8.4
    Delay Damages Not Penalty.

        The Parties acknowledge and agree that because of the unique nature of the Turbine Equipment and the unavailability of a substitute facility, it is difficult or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages that would or might be incurred by Owner as a result of Seller's failure to achieve Delivery of the Wind Turbines by the Guaranteed Delivery Date and Commissioning of the WTGs by the applicable Guaranteed WTG Commissioning Completion Dates. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that (i) Owner shall be damaged by the failure of Seller to meet such obligations, (ii) it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages resulting therefrom, (iii) any sums

33

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.


which would be payable under this Article 8 are in the nature of liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable under the circumstances and (iv) each payment represents a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the losses that may reasonably be anticipated from such failure, and shall, without duplication, be the sole and exclusive measure of damages with respect to any such failure by Seller. Once payment of such liquidated damages has been paid or the limits with respect to liquidated damages set forth in this Article 8 have been reached, Seller shall be relieved of any further liability in respect thereof; provided, however such relief with respect to further payments to Owner shall not relieve Seller of its obligation to achieve WTG Substantial Completion or perform other Wind Turbine Work as and when required by this Agreement, or prevent Owner from seeking recovery for any other default by Seller under this Agreement to which liquidated damages to not apply. Seller hereby waives any rights or defenses that any liquidated damage provided for herein is a penalty or otherwise void.

                (a)   Owner may deliver written notice to Seller at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration or other termination of the Warranty Period that in not less than ***percent (***%) of the number of Wind Turbines, sold pursuant to this Agreement (such product rounded up to the nearest whole number) a similar major operational problem has actually occurred in the same Major Components installed at the Site, and each such major operational problem was caused by the same defect in design, materials or workmanship that has become apparent in each of such Wind Turbines in breach of the Warranty ("Major Defect"). Within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of such Owner's notice Seller shall investigate the major operational problem and provide in writing a report to Owner describing in reasonable detail such major operational problem by investigating and analyzing the affected Wind Turbines and whether or not each such major operational problem was the result of the same or similar defect in design, materials or workmanship in breach of the Warranty or other cause. During the period that Seller is investigating the malfunctions and preparing its report on the same, Seller shall periodically inform Owner of the status of such investigation and reporting, and when requested by Owner, Seller shall consult with Owner in good faith regarding the same provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to disclose preliminary working hypotheses or analyses.

                (b)   If (1) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the delivery of Owner's notice Seller fails to deliver a report as required by Section 10.4.2 (a), or (2) Seller and Owner fail to agree on

35

whether or not a Major Defect exist, each of Seller and Owner will have the right to refer the matter for dispute resolution pursuant to Article 20.

                (c)   If Seller acknowledges in its report delivered pursuant to Section 10.4.2(a) that the major operational problem were the result of a Major Defect, or if a final arbitral award or judgment upon dispute resolution authorized pursuant to Section 10.4.2(b) declares the existence of a Major Defect, then solely for the purpose of this Section 10.4.2 and for no other purpose (such as, for example, calculating the period for which Seller may be obligated pursuant to Article 11), the Warranty Period shall be deemed to be extended with respect to such Major Component only for each and every Wind Turbine for a period of one (1) year from completion of the Warranty Retrofit, but in no event for more than one (1) years following the expiration or termination of the Warranty Period as defined in Section 10.2 (such one year period being referred to herein as the "Major Defect Extension"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Major Defect is the result of a defect in materials and/or workmanship (and not a design defect), then the Major Defect Extension shall not apply and instead Seller shall be obligated to promptly repair and/or replace all affected Wind Turbines as provided in subsection 10.4.1 below in order to cure such Major Defect.

                (d)   Following the determination of the existence of a Major Defect either by Seller's report acknowledging the same pursuant to Section 10.4.2(a) or following a final arbitral award or judgment upon dispute resolution authorized pursuant to Section 10.4.2(b), and at no charge to Owner, Seller shall repair, redesign, remanufacture and/or retrofit the Major Component in question to address the defect including, at Seller's sole discretion, by the application of technology, designs, processes and materials that were not customarily applied in the design, material or workmanship of wind turbine generators at the time that the Wind Turbines were originally designed (a "Warranty Retrofit"); provided, however, that no Warranty Retrofit may adversely affect Owner's rights or benefits under the Availability Guaranty or the Noise Guaranty or materially adversely change the Power Curve, or increase the operating cost of the WTGs.

                (e)   For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed that the provisions of this Section 10.4.2 shall not change, affect or reduce Seller's obligations under Section 10.4.1.

    10.5
    Access.

        Seller and Seller's subcontractors, agents and employees shall have reasonable access to the Site with reasonable prior notice at all times during the Warranty Period, for the purpose of conducting repair, maintenance and service, and any other inspection or work provided for in this Agreement, and for the purpose of making periodic inspections of the Wind Turbines and their maintenance records, at Seller's cost, to ensure compliance with Seller's Warranty obligations and compliance by Owner with any conditions to the Warranty.

    10.6
    Quality of Repairs Etc.

        All Warranty Repair and Warranty Retrofit, including materials, Parts and components incorporated into the Wind Turbines as part of Warranty Repair and Warranty Retrofit by Seller or any of its subcontractors shall (A) conform to the Requirements; (B) be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and be of a quality equal or better to that of the Wind Turbines originally supplied by Seller and not in breach of the Warranty; (C) with respect to Major Components and Parts, be free from defects in design, materials and workmanship when delivered to the Site; (D) and all Major Components and/or Parts used in Warranty Repair and Warranty Retrofit shall be new or shall

Article 11. Availability Guaranty; Noise Guaranty

    11.1
    Availability Guaranty.

                11.1.1    Adjustment Period Time Availability. During the Adjustment Period, if the Measured AP Time Availability is less than the Guaranteed AP Time Availability, Seller shall pay to Owner an amount (the "AP Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages") equal to the quotient of the Guaranteed AP Time Availability divided by the Measured AP Time Availability, from which quotient is subtracted one (1) and the resulting sum multiplied by the Actual Output of all Wind Turbines during the Adjustment Period multiplied by the Applicable Penalty Rate. The sum can be expressed as a formula as follows:

      [Actual Output of all WTGs during Adjustment Period × Applicable Penalty Rate] × [(Guaranteed AP Time Availability ÷ Measured AP Time Availability) less 1] = AP Availability Guarantee Liquidated Damages

        Owner shall not make a demand for a AP Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages until the expiration of the Adjustment Period. As used herein, "Measured AP Time Availability" shall mean the aggregate Time Availability for all Wind Turbines during the Adjustment Period divided by the number of Wind Turbines and "Guaranteed AP Time Availability" shall mean *** percent (***%) of all calendar hours during the Adjustment Period. Payment of such liquidated damages shall constitute the sole liability of the Seller and the exclusive remedy of the Owner for Seller's failure to meet the Guaranteed AP Time Availability.

                11.1.2    Annual Time Availability. During the period commencing with the termination of the Adjustment Period and ending on the first anniversary of the Substantial Completion Date, and during each annual period thereafter ending on the next anniversary of the Substantial Completion Date through the expiration of the Warranty Period (and Extended Warranty Period), if the Measured Annual Time Availability is less than the Guaranteed Annual Time Availability, Seller shall pay to Owner an amount (the "Annual Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages") equal to the quotient of the Guaranteed Annual Time Availability divided by the Measured Annual Time Availability, from which quotient is subtracted one (1) and the resulting sum multiplied by the Actual Output of all Wind Turbines during the applicable annual period multiplied by the Applicable Penalty Rate. The sum can be expressed as a formula as follows:

      [Actual Output of all WTGs during the applicable period × Applicable Penalty Rate] × [(Guaranteed Annual Time Availability ÷ Measured Annual Time Availability) less 1] = Annual Availability Guarantee Liquidated Damages

39

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.


        Owner shall not make a demand for an Annual Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages until the expiration of the applicable period. As used herein, "Measured Annual Time Availability" shall mean the aggregate Time Availability for all Wind Turbines during the applicable period divided by the number of Wind Turbines and "Guaranteed Annual Time Availability" shall mean *** percent (***%) or such other applicable percent calculated pursuant to Section 3.1.(b) of all calendar hours during the applicable period. Payment of such liquidated damages shall constitute the sole liability of the Seller and the exclusive remedy of the Owner for Seller's failure to meet the Guaranteed Annual Time Availability. For the avoidance of doubt and clarity, if an adjacent or close site is designated by the Owner, as per Section 3.1.(b).5(b), this section and the above LD calculation will need to be clarified to reflect the specifics of that adjacent site (number of units, rating, etc.) and be included in the specific contract for this new site.

                11.1.3    Liquidated Damages. For the purpose of calculation of AP Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages and Annual Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages, any hour whenever the Wind Turbine is in the condition of "off-line" due to the wind condition which is not within the operating parameters of Wind Turbine (less than cut-in wind speed/more than cut-out wind speed, and any shutdown by high wind, column wind, etc.) as set forth in the Specifications shall be added to the Operational Hour in case of calculation of Measured AP Time Availability and Measured Annual Time Availability.

                11.1.4    Warranty Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, in the event that any payments due Seller under the Contract Documents are not received within thirty (30) days from the date payment is due, and provided that the unpaid amounts are not the subject of a good faith dispute, Seller may suspend performance of its obligations under Article 10 of this Agreement upon seven (7) Business Days written notice to Owner. Seller will resume performance promptly after all outstanding amounts due are received. Upon doing so, Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the time for performance of any remaining obligations.

                11.1.5    Time of Payments. Within thirty (30) calendar days after Seller's receipt of each demand for payment of penalties pursuant to Sections 11.1.1 or 11.1.2 accompanied by appropriate documentation substantiating the amount invoiced, Seller shall either (i) pay the amount shown in Owner's demand, or (ii) deliver to Owner written notice of its disagreement with the amount calculated, the basis for such disagreement, and the amount, if any, Seller acknowledges that it owes, together with Seller's payment for such undisputed and acknowledged amount.

                11.1.6    Resolution of Amounts in Dispute; Interest. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute amicably within ten (10) calendar days after written notice of Seller's disagreement with the amount calculated by Owner, then either party may elect dispute resolution under Article 20 after the end of such ten (10) day negotiation period. In the event any sum due and owing as provided herein is not paid on a timely basis, interest shall accrue on such outstanding amount from the date due until the date paid in full at the annual interest rate equal to the LIBOR for loans of three months duration as of the date the payment was due, plus two percent (2%) (but in no event greater than the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law).

                11.1.7    Access to SCADA. Owner shall provide Seller with reasonable on-line access to the SCADA system, without charge to Seller, during the Warranty Period. Such access shall include (a) data access for analytical purposes and (b) control software access for monitoring and parametric verification or modification, subject to prior written notification to Owner and Owner's consent to such modification, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All such access by

40

Seller to the SCADA system shall be considered strictly confidential and solely utilized for the benefit of the Project.

                11.1.8    Availability Guaranty Damages. As used herein the term "Availability Guaranty Damages" shall mean and refer to the Annual Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages and the AP Availability Guaranty Liquidated Damages, collectively.

    11.2
    Noise Guaranty.

                11.2.1    Performance of Noise Level Tests. At any time after the Substantial Completion Date but not later than six (6) months prior to the end of the Initial Warranty Period for a Project, Owner may have the right to cause a Noise Level Test to be conducted at its expense on a representative sampling of one (1) Wind Turbine at the Project mutually selected by Owner and Seller, and in accordance with Exhibit I-1 (the "Noise Level Test Procedures") by a qualified engineer selected by Owner and reasonably acceptable to Seller, in order to check whether or not the noise level exceeds the noise requirements set forth in Exhibit I (the "Noise Requirement"). Seller shall have the right to be present at each Noise Level Test and Owner shall notify Seller in writing fourteen (14) days in advance of the commencement of a Noise Level Test. If the actual climate conditions at the Project do not satisfy the conditions set forth in Exhibit I-1, such Noise Level Test period shall be extended day-to-day until such time as such conditions are satisfied. Within fourteen (14) days following completion of the Noise Level Test, Owner shall provide Seller with a detailed written report setting forth the results of such Noise Level Test. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other provision of the Contract Documents, Seller's sole obligation with respect to noise is satisfying the Noise Requirement during a Noise Level Test at the Reference Turbines (the "Noise Guaranty"), and if the Wind Turbine selected for the Noise Level Test meets the Noise Guaranty as determined in the Noise Level Test, then Seller shall have satisfied its obligations with respect to the Noise Guaranty.

                11.2.2    Procedures on Noise Level Test Failure. If the Wind Turbine selected for the Noise Level Test fails to meet the Noise Guaranty as determined in the Noise Level Test, Seller shall perform such adjustments or repairs to some or all of the Wind Turbines at the Project as are required to meet the Noise Guaranty within ninety (90) days after Seller has been notified by Owner that the tested Wind Turbine has failed to meet the Noise Level Test. No later than ninety (90) days following the completion of such ninety-day repair period, Owner shall, in accordance with Section 11.2.1, notify Seller of the date during such 90-day period on which it will cause a new Noise Level Test to be conducted, such additional Noise Level Test to be performed at Seller's sole cost and expense. Such testing and repair procedure shall be repeated until such time as the selected Wind Turbine meets the Noise Guaranty and no further adjustments are made to the Wind Turbines as a result of the failure to meet the Noise Level Test. Seller shall have the right to take its own data, to have copies of all data resulting from each Noise Level Test, and to verify the calculated Noise Level Test results.

                11.2.3    Noise Level Damages and Remedies. If the Wind Turbine selected for the Noise Level Test fails the Noise Level Test, (a) Owner shall be entitled to shutdown any part or all of the Wind Turbines by providing notice to Seller if any of the Owner's Permits is breached as a result of such failed Noise Level Test and only if any Governmental Authority requests or orders all or part of the Wind Turbines to be shutdown; then (b) Seller shall be liable for any and all reasonable direct expenses suffered by Owner arising out of or related to the failed Noise Level Test in the form of and as part of the Availability Guaranty Damages. This Section 11.2.3 shall be Owner's sole and exclusive remedy for Seller's breach of the Noise Guaranty.

    11.3
    Power Curve Threshold Guaranty.

                11.3.1    Power Curve Threshold. Subject to Section 11.3.2, Seller guarantees that if the Reference Turbines are installed in accordance with the Turbine Installation and Erection Manual, and operated in accordance with the Operation Manual, the Reference Turbines will achieve the Power Curve Threshold when tested under the Site Conditions during the Power Curve Test (the "Power Curve Threshold Guaranty").

                11.3.2    Performance of Power Curve Test.

                (a)   Nomination of Reference Turbines. Prior to commencement of erection of any Wind Turbine at the Site, Owner shall nominate, in accordance with IEC 61400-12-1, two (2) locations where the Wind Turbines which are to serve as the subject of a Power Curve Test (the "Reference Turbines"), will be erected. Owner shall promptly notify Seller of Owner's nomination of the Reference Turbines. Owner's nomination of the Reference Turbines shall be subject to the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

                (b)   Site Calibration. At least sixty (60) days prior to commencement of erection of any Wind Turbine at the Site, Owner shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, a third party engineer with significant experience in power curve testing of wind turbines who is mutually acceptable to Owner and Seller (the "Test Engineer") to complete Site Calibration pursuant to the Site Calibration Procedures described in Exhibit F. If Owner commences erection of a Wind Turbine prior to completion of the Site Calibration, the Power Curve Test shall be waived. The report and data of the Test Engineer on the Site Calibration shall be promptly delivered to Seller for its review and comment. In the event the parties cannot agree on a Test Engineer, then the Independent Engineer shall choose between the Owner's candidate and the Seller's candidate. The report and data of the Test Engineer on the Site Calibration shall be promptly delivered to Owner and Seller for their review and comment.

                (c)   Purpose of Power Curve Test. Owner may elect to cause one Power Curve Test to be commenced by the Test Engineer at any time prior to the first anniversary of commencement of the Warranty Period. The cost and expense of such Power Curve Test shall be borne by Owner. Owner shall deliver to Seller notice of its election to perform the Power Curve Test no later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the scheduled commencement of the Power Curve Test. In the event that Owner does not commence a Power Curve Test during the 12-month period after commencement of the Warranty Period, Owner shall not thereafter claim, and shall be deemed to have released Seller from any liability for, PCT Liquidated Damages and all other remedies on account of the failure of the Wind Turbines to comply with the Power Curve.

                (d)   Power Curve Test Procedures. The Power Curve Test shall be conducted by the Test Engineer or, at Owner's election, a qualified engineer (which qualified engineer has been approved by Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Power Curve Test shall be performed under normal operating conditions in accordance with Exhibit H (the "Power Curve Test Procedures"). When conducting the Power Curve Test, such tests shall be performed on the Reference Turbines only. No later than thirty (30) days following the completed administration of the Power Curve Test, Owner shall provide Seller with the results of the Power Curve Test, including whether the Reference Turbines passed or failed to pass the Power Curve Test. The Power Curve does not consider any terrain effect due to complex terrain conditions including, without limitation, up flow angle, negative wind shear, and turbulence intensity greater than the criteria defined in Exhibit H. In the event that any such terrain effect is detected during the administration of the Power Curve Test at

42

any time pursuant to this Section 11.3.2, such data and/or the period in which such elements or conditions are detected shall be invalid and shall be eliminated from the remaining data during the Power Curve Test.

                (e)   Conduct of the Power Curve Test.

    (i)
    PCT Committee. The representatives of Owner, Seller and the Test Engineer shall comprise the Power Curve Test Committee (the "PCT Committee") and shall be appointed pursuant to the Power Curve Test Procedures. The PCT Committee shall review, consider and approve those commercially reasonable efforts of Seller and Owner to cause the Reference Turbines to achieve the Power Curve Threshold. A meeting (which may take place telephonically) of the PCT Committee may be called by any member at any time upon two (2) Business Days notice. All actions of the PCT Committee pursuant to this Section 11.3.2(e)(i) shall require the vote of a majority of its members.

    (ii)
    Implementation of Power Curve Test. Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Test Engineer to perform its duties, including calculating and analyzing the data from the Power Curve Test in order to achieve the Power Curve Threshold during the administration of the Power Curve Test and to cause all instrumentation equipment to be used in the Power Curve Test to be in good working order and free from defects in design, material or workmanship. Owner shall undertake at its expense any adjustment or modification or calibration of all instrumentation equipment owned by Owner as approved by the PCT Committee for the purpose of achieving the Power Curve Threshold. Owner shall notify the PCT Committee of the completion of such adjustments or modifications promptly following completion of the same.

                (f)    Passage of Power Curve Test. In the event that upon the completion of the Power Curve Test pursuant to the Power Curve Test Procedure, the measured energy yield of the Reference Turbines are equal to or greater than the Power Curve Threshold, then (i) the Power Curve Test shall be deemed to be passed, (ii) the Power Curve Test shall be stopped and no further Power Curve Tests shall be administered, (iii) Seller's responsibility with respect to the Power Curve Threshold Guaranty shall be considered fulfilled and extinguished, (iv) Seller and the Test Engineer shall sign and deliver to Owner the Power Curve Test Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1, which Owner shall promptly sign and return to the Seller and Test Engineer, and (v) Seller shall not be liable for PCT Liquidated Damages thereafter, and (vi) Owner shall make no claim, and shall be deemed to waive any and all claims, against Seller and its Affiliates for all other remedies on account of the failure of the Wind Turbines to comply with the Power Curve.

                (g)   Failure of Power Curve Test. If the Reference Turbines fail the Power Curve Test, Seller and Owner shall comply with the following:

    (i)
    At their sole respective cost and expense, Seller and Owner shall reasonably cooperate to determine the cause for the failure to pass the Power Curve Test. Owner and Seller will cooperate and perform an in depth investigation of Seller's Equipment, to determine the cause of the failure. The investigation shall be made using best efforts, in good faith, and all initial findings of the Parties shall be fully disclosed to the other. If, as a result of the investigation, Seller makes a determination that the failure to pass the Power Curve Test is not attributable to Seller, then Owner shall fully investigate all other potential causes with Owner's other subcontractors, using Owner's best efforts, and disclose such findings to Seller. In the event that the failure was caused by the noncompliance with IEC 61400-12-1 and the

43

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.


      Power Curve Test Procedures, due to the inaccuracy of the instrument calibrated for the test or any other reason arising out of the Owner's Work, Owner shall cause such condition to be corrected and the Power Curve Test to be re-administered at its own cost and expense (which retest may be commenced after expiration of the one-year period). Any such adjustment, repair or replacement shall be commenced within thirty (30) days after the determination that the Reference Turbines failed to pass the Power Curve Test (the "Repair Period").

    (ii)
    In the event that failure to pass the Power Curve Test was not due to the act or omission of a third party (not under Seller's control) then, subject to Section 11.3.2(g)(v) below, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, within 120 days adjust, repair or replace, as Seller may judge in its discretion to be most appropriate, the Reference Turbines so as to cause the Reference Turbines to pass the Power Curve Test prior to the end of the Warranty Period. Any such adjustment, repair or replacement shall be commenced within the Repair Period. Upon completion of such adjustments, repairs and replacements, then Seller shall cause the Independent Engineer or other qualified engineer who had administered the initial Power Curve Test to perform a subsequent Power Curve Test of the Reference Turbines so adjusted, repaired or replaced to demonstrate that the Power Curve Test has been passed; such subsequent Power Curve Test shall be performed at Seller's own cost and expense. Such Power Curve Test shall be performed under normal operating conditions in accordance with IEC 61400-12-1 and the Power Curve Test Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during such Repair Period, it is determined that the failure to pass the Power Curve Test was not due to Seller's failure, then Owner shall reimburse Seller for the costs of any adjustments, repairs and replacements under pursuant to this subsection, and immediately following any such determination, Seller shall obtain the approval of Owner prior to undertaking any remaining adjustments.

    (iii)
    Subject to Section 11.3.2(g)(v), if the Power Curve Test is not passed in the subsequent administration, the foregoing process under Section 11.3.2(g)(i) and/or Section 11.3.2(g)(ii), as the case may be, shall be repeated as many times as necessary until the Power Curve Test is passed.

    (iv)
    Modifications or improvements performed on the Reference Turbines in order to pass the Power Curve Test must also be performed on all of the Wind Turbines, as required and upon mutual agreement between Seller and Owner with respect to such modification and improvements, within a reasonable period, but not later than the expiration of the Warranty Period, and certified by Seller and delivered to Owner for reasonable approval.

    (v)
    If the Reference Turbines do not pass the Power Curve Test prior to the end of the Warranty Period, then Seller shall pay to Owner as liquidated damages for such failure, and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to the present value of lost economic value of the Project (based on Owner's financial pro forma for a 20 year period from the Project Substantial Completion Date, which, in turn, shall be based on the projected output of the Project in the P50 scenario established by an independent wind study, the applicable power and/or renewable energy credit sales rates for the Project included in the Project's power purchase agreement(s), and the lost PTCs grossed-up on an after tax basis, discounted back to the Project Substantial Completion Date at an annual discount rate of ***%, and then grossed up by ***% per year from the Project Substantial Completion Date until the end of the Warranty Period for each percentage that the applicable measured energy yield is below the corresponding Power Curve Threshold or a fraction of such amount for every fractional percentage below the

Seller shall owe no indemnity and shall be reimbursed for all sums paid and incurred under this Section 17.1(a) to the extent that the losses, claims, demands, proceedings, damages, liabilities, costs, charges, expenses or liens for which indemnity is claimed are caused by or arise from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of such Owner Indemnified Party or others. For avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the obligations of Seller relating to the time of completion of the Wind Turbine Work and obligations giving rise to the payment of liquidated damages under this Agreement shall not give rise to a claim of indemnity under this Section 17.1. For purpose of this Section it is agreed and understood that an Owner Indemnified Party shall in no event be construed to fall within the meaning of a "third party," but that employees of contractors or subcontractors of Owner (other than Seller or its Affiliates) working at or near the Site shall be considered "third parties" for the purpose of this provision.

                (b)   Owner shall indemnify Seller and it subcontractors and vendors and their officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, partners, agents, employees, successors and permitted assigns (each a "Seller Indemnified Party," or collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties") and shall defend, save and hold them harmless from and against all (i) claims, demands, proceedings, damages, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees) for bodily injury to or death of any individual or damage to any tangible property of a third party (but only if and to the extent that the indemnified party suffers loss in an amount greater than amounts collected under applicable policies of insurance of which the indemnified party is an additional insured) incurred by or asserted against any of them arising out of or in consequence of negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Owner, or Owner's or its Affiliates' employees, agents or subcontractors on the Site, and (ii) claims, demands, proceedings, damages, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees) in respect of any sales tax, use tax, value added taxes, property tax, excise or similar taxes payable within the United States imposed on or for which

53

the Owner is responsible under this Agreement. Owner shall owe no indemnity and shall be reimbursed for all sums paid and incurred under this Section 17.1(b) to the extent that the losses, claims, demands, proceedings, damages, liabilities, costs, charges, expenses or liens for which indemnity is claimed are caused by or arise from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of such Seller Indemnified Party or others. For purpose of this Section it is agreed and understood that a Seller Indemnified Party shall in no event be construed to fall within the meaning of a "third party."

    17.2
    Indemnity Against Infringement.

        Seller shall indemnify and keep indemnified and hold harmless each Owner Indemnified Party from and against all claims, liabilities, losses and damages asserted by any third party person, together with all costs and expenses relating thereto (including reasonable legal fees), based upon any claim of infringement or misappropriation of any patent or other license or right to intellectual property (whether by way of patent, copyright, mask work right, trade secret, trademark or otherwise) resulting directly or indirectly from the manufacture, sale, supply, or importation of the Wind Turbines, or any part or component thereof, or their use by Owner as set forth in this Agreement. Each party agrees to notify the other as soon as possible of any material matters with respect to which the foregoing indemnity may apply and of which the notifying party has knowledge. If notified in writing of any action or claim for which Seller is to provide an indemnity, Seller shall, without limitation, defend such action or claim at its expense and pay the cost and damages and attorneys' fees awarded against Owner in such action or claim; provided, that Seller shall have the right to control the defense and settlement of all such actions or claims.

    17.3
    Treatment of Infringing Equipment.

        If an order by any court of competent jurisdiction shall be obtained against sale or delivery to Owner, or Owner's use or operation of, the Wind Turbines or any part or component thereof or process that is within Seller's scope used herein by reason of any alleged infringement of any intellectual property right of any party (whether by reason of a patent, copyright, mask work right, trade secret, trademark or other license or right), Seller shall first be afforded a reasonable opportunity, at its expense but without limiting its indemnification obligations under Section 17.2, to diligently seek the discharge of any such order as aforesaid, and at Seller's election to forthwith:

    (i)

    17.4
    Indemnification Procedure.

        When a Party hereunder (the "Indemnifying Party") is required to indemnify the other Party and its officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, partners, agents, employees, lenders, successors, and permitted assigns (collectively the "Indemnified Parties") in accordance with this Article 17, the Indemnifying Party shall assume on behalf of such Indemnified Parties, and conduct with due diligence and in good faith, the defense of any claim against such Indemnified Parties, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall be joined therein, and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be in charge of the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, however, that without relieving the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder or impairing the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense or settlement thereof, the Indemnified Parties may elect to participate through separate counsel in the defense of any such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnified Parties shall have reasonably concluded that there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties in the conduct of the defense of such claim, then each Party shall retain their separate counsel and shall have the right to control the defense and/or settlement of such claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not employ counsel to assume the defense of such claim asserted against the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party's receipt of notice of the commencement of an action thereon, the indemnified Parties may retain counsel for the defense thereof, upon five (5) Business Days written notice, in which case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall settle any such claims or actions in a manner which would require any action or forbearance from action by any Indemnified Parties without the written consent of the Indemnified Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
