Attached below is the Sysco contract revised as discussed together with a
redlined version marked to show the changes from the version sent to Sysco.
The revisions reflect the points negotiated with Sysco and "lessons learned"
from the current situation in California. Sysco has not yet seen these
revisions.

The following list summarizes the significant issues for presentation to the
organization (including Don Black and Sean Holmes) and/or reflect differences
from the standard form.

Section 3.4 has been revised to make it bilateral except for subsection (d)
which remains applicable only to EESI. The standard form permitted only EESI
to exercise a right of termination. Accordingly, subsection (a) has been
revised to delete the phase addressing the tariff risks which is now
addressed in the revised definitions for Distribution Charges, Transition
Charges and Special Utility Charges.
Revised Section 3.4 provides that a change in "Utility rates or Taxes is not
a change that allows a party to invoke the provision.
Revised Section 3.4 provides the parties with a right to terminate the
contract for convenience after the 36th month. An Early Termination payment
based on the "cost to cover" is applicable.
Sysco is permitted to close a facility under new Section 3.5 and pay the
Early Termination Payment applicable to the closed facility based on the
"cost to cover."
Sysco is permitted to substitute facilities under new Section 3.6 and
transfer the consumption volumes applicable to a facility that is Closed,
Disposed, or Non-Controlled as long as the substituted facility has, in
EESI's reasonable opinion, substantially similar load profile and consumption
of, and demand charges for power as the facility for which it is being
substituted, and is served by the same utility.
Consistent with the form, Sysco's consumption outside of the 90%-110%
Anticipated Usage band would result in Sysco's paying the additional costs
resulting from the difference between the contract price and the market
price. However, under the revised contract (Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2), if
the price difference results in cost savings, a credit will be issued to
Sysco. We should confirm that we have the capability to make these
calculations. Also under the revised contract, the 90%-110% band is
calculated for groups of facilities served by the same utility (the Facility
Group).
Section 4.5 has been revised to obligate Sysco to post a letter of credit (at
EESI's request) if Sysco Corporation's credit rating falls below investment
grade. The letter of credit would be in an amount equal to (i) the amount
equivalent to the Early Termination Payment as of the date of the requested
letter of credit; plus (ii) three months receivables.

Please do not hesitate to contact either Mike Smith or me with questions. dwa
