“AZP” shall be the Adjusted Zero
Prices that corresponds to the date on the Adjusted Zero Curve
which is defined below. The Adjusted Volume will be rounded off to
the nearest full unit (mmbtu or mwh).
Calculation
of Adjusted Zero Curve:
The Credit
Sleeve Provider will calculate an adjusted LIBOR forward curve (the
“Adjusted LIBOR Forward Curve”) each day by
adding the marginal cost of capital adder (the “MCC
Adder”) to the inputs used to calculate the Merrill Lynch
& Co. standard LIBOR curve (the “Merrill LIBOR
Curve”).
(a) 0.0028; for purposes of calculating the
Adjusted Volume of Mirror OTC Contracts executed in connection with
(EFS Transactions or ICE Block Transactions) that are Effective
Date Transactions described in Section 2.03(a) of the Credit
Sleeve Reimbursement Agreement; and
(b) the
marginal cost of capital relative to LIBOR that all Merrill Lynch
& Co.’s trading desks are charged for the use of funds by
Merrill Lynch & Co. (as of the date of such EFS Transaction or
ICE Block Transaction), which amount is relative to LIBOR that is
the average cost of capital for Merrill Lynch & Co. across all
maturities (such MCC Adder can be positive or negative); for
purposes of calculating the Adjusted Volume of Mirror OTC Contracts
executed in connection with EFS Transactions or ICE Block
Transactions that are Ongoing Transactions described in
Section 2.03(b) of the Credit Sleeve Reimbursement
Agreement
As of the
Effective Date, the MCC Adder described in subsection
(b) above is 0.0028; however, such amount may change in
accordance with changes to Merrill Lynch & Co.’s marginal
cost of capital as described above.
“Merrill LIBOR Curve”
shall be the LIBOR curve used by
Merrill Lynch & Co. and its subsidiaries in their U.S. and
world wide swap and futures operations and business and used to
mark its interest rate position to market. It is understood that
Merrill Lynch & Co. may modify the inputs for how it determines
this curve; however, it will continue to use the same curve for the
Merrill LIBOR Curve as used in this Schedule and for its other
operations as described in the foregoing sentence.
Using the
Adjusted LIBOR Forward Curve the Sleeve Provider will calculate a
corresponding zero curve (the “Adjusted Zero Curve”),
and provide such Adjusted Zero Curve to REPS on each Business Day,
no later than 10:00 a.m. CST, and such curve shall be
applicable to the (EFS Transactions and ICE Block Transactions)
that are executed on that day. The Adjusted Zero Curve will be a
strip of monthly Adjusted Zero Prices, which represent the present
value of $1.00 dollar received on a specific date in the future,
assuming the Adjusted LIBOR Forward Curve for discounting purposes
with discounting being computed utilizing the continuously
compounding methodology. The Adjusted Zero Curve provided will have
5 places after the decimal point.
The term of the
Adjusted LIBOR Forward Curve and the corresponding Adjusted Zero
Curve will be 72 months, including the then current month;
provided, however, that to the extent REPS currently has or in the
future obtains an Exchange Traded Contract for a longer period,
then the Sleeve Provider will extend the Adjusted LIBOR Forward
Curve and the Adjusted Zero Curve to match such longer period.
Adjusted Zero Prices that correspond to dates that are between the
Monthly Dates in the table below will be
calculated
using linear interpolation. The format utilized by the Sleeve
Provider in providing this information will include at a minimum
the following attributes:

For purposes of
clarification the Parties agree that no adjustment will be made to
the volumes of options transactions which are transferred pursuant
to EOO Transactions under the Credit Sleeve Reimbursement
Agreement, or in other words the Adjusted Volume of any Mirror OTC
Contract that is an option will be the exact same volume as the
volume of the corresponding Exchange Traded Contract.
Physical
Exposure Management Fee:
For Exchange
Traded Contracts that provide for physical delivery, (both futures
contracts and options that provide for physical delivery futures
contracts) and are transferred to the Sleeve Provider pursuant to
an EFS or EOO Transaction, the following will apply: The Mirror OTC
Transaction’s confirm will specify that REPS agrees to pay to
Sleeve Provider (or Sleeve Provider agrees to pay to REPS) a fee
(the “Physical Exposure Management Fee” or
“ PhEM ”) equal to: either (i) the actual
EFS or EOO Transaction premium paid or received by Sleeve Provider
to liquidate the physical exposure or (ii) if Sleeve Provider
takes the position in its own book, the average of two broker
quotes on the day Sleeve Provider takes the position (which quotes
shall be of the applicable buy or sell side from the Sleeve
Provider’s perspective of the premium for the EFS or EOO of
the same product and delivery month), multiplied by the volume in
the EFS or EOO Transaction. Sleeve Provider will provide REPS
notice of the PhEM amount within 2 Business Days of either
liquidating the physical exposure with a third party or taking the
position on the Sleeve Provider’s own book. REPS may request
that the Sleeve Provider provide deal tickets as evidence of the
actual premium paid or received by Sleeve Provider or instant
messaging prints of broker quotes. PhEM shall be due and payable by
the applicable Party at the time of settlement of the Mirror OTC
Transaction associated with such EOO or EFS Transaction.

Schedule 1.01 (c)
To Amended and Restated Credit Sleeve and Reimbursement
Agreement
Data and Reporting
Requirements
I.
General Provisions — Certain Defined Terms
This
Schedule 1.01(c) shall constitute a part of the Credit
Sleeve Reimbursement Agreement (“CSRA”). Capitalized
Terms used herein shall either (a) have the meaning specified
in the CSRA or (b) the meaning defined in this Schedule
1.01(c). All terms defined herein shall be listed in the Index
of Defined Terms for this Schedule 1.01(c). References to
Schedule 1.01(c) shall be to the entirety of this
Schedule 1.01(c) and all sub-parts unless an individual
sub-part is specified.
All Current
Mark-to-Market and Risk Limits computations shall be done on the
basis of data REPS provides to the Sleeve Provider by loading such
data to a designated web site on or before 9:00 p.m. Central time
on the preceding Business Day. The data provided pursuant to this
Schedule 1.01(c) shall reflect transactions closed by the
time frames set forth in Schedule 1.01(c).28 (except for the
data specified in Schedule 1.01(c).24, which shall
reflect transactions as of the close of business on the Business
Day next preceding the day REPS provides such data). Such data
shall be in a format designed to facilitate the Sleeve
Provider’s computation of Risk Limits and Current
Mark-to-Market and shall consist of the data required by this
Schedule 1.01(c). The Sleeve Provider’s
computation shall be performed consistent with the methodology that
the Sleeve Provider uses to mark its own positions to market on a
daily basis.
“Delivery Month”
or “delivery
month” means a calendar month in which physical delivery
or financial settlement under a transaction occurs.
“(t)” means, as the context
requires, any Business Day as of which an amount or value
contemplated in this Schedule 1.01(c) is calculated or
an identified event occurs.
“(T)” means each applicable Delivery
Month for the contract (or forecast to purchase and sell
electricity in respect of month-to-month Customers) in respect of
which this term is used.
“Current Mark-to-Market”
for any day, shall be expressed in
Dollars and shall be equal to the Mark-to-Market value of all
Forward Hedge Positions (as defined in Schedule 1.01(c).1)
determined by the Sleeve Provider, as of such day.
The
“Mark-to-Market” value of a transaction, which
may be a positive or a negative number, shall be determined by
valuing each transaction (volumes, contract prices, and delivery
dates) using the Merrill Market Forward Pricing Curve, Merrill
Volatility Curve and Correlation Curve that corresponds to the
pricing terms of such transaction, or in the case of a dispute as
to the
Curve Inputs
(as defined below), such new Curve Inputs resulting from the
process for resolving disputes as to the Curve Inputs outlined
below. The “Merrill Market Forward Pricing Curves
” and “Merrill Volatility Curves” are defined as
the curves used by the Sleeve Provider in its U.S. energy and
related forwards, futures and options trading operations to mark
its positions to market; and in those situations where discounting
is applicable it will perform such discounting using the Merrill
LIBOR Curve (as such term is defined in
Schedule 1.01(b), the “Merrill LIBOR
Curve” ). The “Correlation Curves”
will be the curves used by REPS as of December 31, 2008 in its
U.S. energy and related forwards, futures and options trading
operations to mark its positions to market (with such changes
thereto as may be reasonably agreed by the Sleeve Provider and REPS
from time to time at the request of either REPS or the Sleeve
Provider). It is understood that the Merrill Parties may modify
inputs for how they determine these curves so long as they continue
to use the same curves for the calculations referred to herein as
the curves they use for their other operations referred to in this
paragraph.
REPS may
challenge the Merrill LIBOR Curve, Merrill Market Forward Pricing
Curves, Merrill Volatility Curves and any other Sleeve Provider
curves or inputs or modifications (herein collectively, referred to
as the “ Curve Inputs ”), used by the Sleeve
Provider in calculating the Risk Limits and Current Mark-to-Market.
If the parties cannot reach agreement on the Curve Inputs within
two days after such challenge, then REPS may require that a third
party expert be used to choose between the Sleeve Provider’s
methodology for determining the Curve Inputs and a specific
alternative methodology proposed by REPS for use in determining the
Curve Inputs for a specified product, location or time period. The
third party expert will be designated by REPS from a list of at
least three qualified and impartial experts which list shall
promptly (and in no event more than two Business Days following
request therefor), be provided by the Sleeve Provider to REPS. Such
expert shall be required to choose between the Curve Inputs used by
the Sleeve Provider and those inputs proposed by REPS and to
identify which it determines is more accurate, and the inputs used
as Curve Inputs thereafter shall be formulated by the Sleeve
Provider in a manner consistent with the inputs so selected and
thereafter such Curve Inputs as so formulated will be the Curve
Inputs for all purposes hereunder. The expenses of the expert will
be paid by the Party whose inputs are not selected by the
expert.
Prior to the
agreement on any change in the Curve Inputs, the provisions of the
CSRA with respect to Risk Limits and Current Mark-to-Market will
continue to be applicable on the basis of the calculation of Risk
Limits and Current Mark-to-Market by the Sleeve Provider
immediately prior to, and during, any challenge by REPS.

required to provide to the Sleeve Provider as soon as reasonably
practicable on the next succeeding Business Day, good faith
estimates, certified by the Chief Risk Officer, of the trades which
it has entered into on each such Business Day in a format that can
be used to calculate Risk Limits and Current Mark-to-Market, and
the Sleeve Provider will use such good faith estimates in its
calculations of Risk Limits and Current Mark-to Market with respect
to such Business Days. If such Data Failure Event continues for two
Business Days, the Sleeve Provider shall give notice to REPS that
such Data Failure Event (if not excused by a Force Majeure Event
having occurred and continuing) may cause an Event of Default under
the CSRA if it continues for three more Business Days. If such Data

Products; (ii) the loss or failure of supply of Accepted
Products; or (iii) the ability to obtain better economics
under transactions other than those under the CSRA. An
“Affected Party” for purposes hereof means a
