I have only a couple of suggestions. See red-line strike-out attached. On
the GenTie Agreement, are we not concerned about the results of third party
review? If we are, we should have the same third party review language (with
my revision) as in the FS Agreement.

I'm following up on my email to you of 2/1 (attached below).

David, it's my understanding from our call last week that we do not have a
balance sheet or other accounting issue involved with these studies so long
as we are not committing to any construction or other hard costs. I've
reviewed the agreements and confirmed that the only commitment being made by
Antelope Valley Energy Facility, LLC, our project company ("AVEF") is to pay
$50,000 as the cost of each study (which amount can't be increased unless
AVEF agrees). So it seems we are ok from an accounting standpoint -
correct? Please also confirm from an accounting standpoint that it is still
acceptable, as we did with the initial Facilities Study Agreement with SCE
for the project, that AVEF be the contract party with SCE.

Mary, do you have any comments or concerns from a regulatory standpoint?

The commercial team needs to sign both these agreements and submit them back
to SCE this week, so please get back to me or Dean as soon as you can.

Thanks,
Karen

Roger and David,
I am hearing that there may be a hard cost/soft cost issue involved with
interconnection system impact studies and/or tie-line studies, even though it
seems that the work we would be paying for is engineering. Please see the
draft agreements that Dean forwarded to me (attached below) for the Antelope
Valley development project, and let me know if we have such issues here.

Mary,
Can you please review the agreements and provide any comments back to me?
What is the current thinking, from a regulatory standpoint, on whether we
apply in the project company's name or in ENA or EPMI's name? Roger and
David, is your analysis of the above issue impacted by which entity is the
party requesting the studies?

Thanks, everyone, for your assistance.

Karen

Subject: Re: Antelope Valley - LaHood Property and Some SCE Stuff, Too

We have received two proposed contracts from SCE for Dave to sign. One is
the mandatory study to determine the SCE system impacts resulting from AVEF
being connected to the Vincent substation (Facilities Study Agreement), and
the other is a study to determine the cost for SCE to construct and own the
line from Vincent to our switchyard (Generation Tie-Line Study Agreement).
We need to proceed with both agreements - please take a look and let me know
if you can provide a set of lawyer-type initials for Dave so he can sign it.
Thanks.
