(c) Modifications to Power Annex . The Power Annex is hereby amended as follows:

(i) References to Part [6]

. Each reference to “Part [6]” wherever it appears in the Power Annex is hereby amended to read “Power Annex”; and the reference to “Part [6] of the Schedule” in clause

(i)(ii)(B) of the Power Annex is hereby amended to read “the Power Annex”.

(ii) Inconsistency . The following is added to the end of clause (a) of the Power Annex:

“In the event of any inconsistency between the Confirmation for a Power Transaction and this

Power Annex, the Confirmation will govern with respect to such Power Transaction.”

(iii)

(iv)

Payments . Clause (d) of the Power Annex is hereby amended by adding a new clause (d)(v) to read as follows:

“(v) Disputes and Adjustments of Invoices . A party may adjust any invoice rendered by it with respect to a Power Transaction to correct any arithmetic or computational error or to include additional charges or claims within twenty-four (24) months after the close of the month in which the obligations being invoiced arose. A receiving party may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice or of any adjustment to any invoice previously rendered to it by providing notice to the other party on or before the later of (i) twelve (12) months of the date of receipt of such invoice or adjusted invoice, or (ii) twenty-four (24) months after the close of the month in which the obligation being invoiced arose. Failure to provide such notice within the time frame set forth in the preceding sentence waives the dispute with respect to such invoice. A party disputing all or any part of an invoice or an adjustment to an invoice previously rendered to it may pay only the undisputed portion of the invoice when due, provided such party provides notice to the other party of the basis for and amount of the disputed portion of the invoice that has not been paid. The disputed portion of the invoice must be paid within two (2) Business Days of resolution of the dispute, along with interest accrued at the Default Rate from and including the original due date of the invoice to but excluding the date the disputed portion of the invoice is actually paid.

Inadvertent overpayments shall be returned upon request or deducted by the party receiving such overpayment from subsequent payments, with interest accrued at the Default Rate from and including the date of such overpayment but excluding the date repaid or deducted by the party receiving such overpayment. An invoice can only be adjusted or amended after it was originally rendered within the time frames set forth in this clause (d)(v). If an invoice is not rendered within twenty-four (24) months after the close of the month in which the payment obligations arose, the right to payment for that month under this Agreement is waived.”

Indemnity . Clause (g)(ii) of the Power Annex is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof, “Neither party shall be liable with respect to any Claim to the extent that such Claim resulted from the negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of the indemnified party.”

(v) FERC Standard of Review; Certain Covenants and Waivers . The text of clause (h)(iii) of the

Power Annex is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(A) Absent the written agreement of all Parties to the proposed change, the standard of review for changes to any rate, charge, classification, term or condition of this Agreement, whether proposed by a Party (to the extent that any waiver in subsection (b) below is unenforceable or ineffective as to such Party), a non-party or FERC acting sua sponte , shall be the ‘public interest’ standard of review set forth in United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Mobile Gas Service Corp.

, 350 U.S. 332 (1956) and Federal Power Commission v. Sierra Pacific Power Co ., 350 U.S. 348 (1956) (the ‘Mobile

Sierra’ doctrine).
