  4.1.3.   The ISO and PX will include interest on the refunds and Short Payments that they will provide APX pursuant to Section 4.5(a) of this Settlement Agreement. The interest will be determined in accordance with the Commission’s applicable rulings in this proceeding. To the extent that either the ISO or PX has an interest short-fall below the interest rates otherwise required by the Commission’s regulations and rulings in this proceeding related to either the refunds and Short Payments owed APX for APX Transactions in the PX and ISO centralized markets during the Refund Period, they will be permitted to hold-back, as necessary, 25 percent of the interest otherwise owed to APX on the refunds (“Refund Interest Reserve”) and Short Payments (“Shortpay Interest Reserve”), and subject to Section 4.3 pertaining to Calpine. APX shall distribute all of the interest that it receives from the ISO and PX to the Net Buyers on Exhibit B on a pro rata basis in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5. At the conclusion of the FERC Proceedings, to the extent that FERC does not require the ISO or PX to utilize any or all of the Shortpay Interest Reserve and/or the Refund Interest Reserve to cover interest short-falls related to APX Transactions, the ISO and PX shall distribute such amounts (inclusive of any actual additional interest that may accumulate thereon) to APX, and APX shall distribute any such amounts within five (5) Business Days of receipt to the Net Buyers listed on Exhibit B on a pro rata basis.
 
  4.1.4.   To the extent any net refunds, including interest related thereto, are paid by the ISO and/or PX to the APX for APX Transactions during the Pre-Refund Period, those amounts shall be paid and distributed to the Net Buyers on Exhibit B in proportion to their pro rata share of APX Transactions during the Pre-Refund Period. This Agreement does not address who is responsible for any refunds (if any) that FERC may hereafter direct be paid to the ISO and/or PX in respect of APX Transactions for the Pre-Refund Period; provided, however, that in no event will EPMI/EESI or APX itself have any responsibility for paying any such refunds. All Parties reserve their rights to contest any proposal that refunds are owed in respect of APX Transactions refunds for the Pre-Refund Period and to appeal any finding by FERC that such refunds are owed for the Pre-Refund Period; provided, however, that with respect to the Settlement Period in its entirety, no claim for intra-APX market refunds will be advanced by any Party. Under no circumstances will the operation of this Section 4.1.4 alter, decrease, increase or otherwise change the fixed amounts due Enron pursuant to Section 4.1.1.1 hereof.
  4.2.   Enron Settlement Reserve. The Enron Settlement Amount shall be transferred from the APX Escrow Account to the Enron PX Collateral account. In addition, Enron hereby agrees to set aside an additional three million five hundred thousand dollars and no cents ($3,500,000.00) in funds from the Enron PX Collateral (the “Retained Enron

13


 

      PX Collateral”) to establish the Enron Settlement Reserve in the total amount of fourteen million five hundred thousand dollars and no cents ($14,500,000.00) to be held in the Enron PX Collateral Account as described in Section 2.2.1. The Enron Settlement Reserve is available to settle the claims of the Enron Non-Settling Parties, if and only if, any refund amounts due to the Enron Non-Settling Parties from EPMI (as determined by FERC) resulting from Enron’s participation in the PX and ISO markets are unpaid for any reason directly as result of EPMI’s bankruptcy or otherwise. In the event that the Enron Settlement Reserve for Enron Non-Settling Parties is not needed for the Enron Non-Settling Parties and/or Supporting Parties for the purpose stated, then the balance plus accrued interest shall be paid to EPMI by the PX at the earliest possible date without further action by EPMI.
 
  4.3.   Calpine Monetary Consideration. Of the Short Payments plus interest owed to Calpine, Calpine hereby agrees, subject to receipt of the Required Calpine Bankruptcy Court Approval on or before February 28, 2007, to release and contribute on the Settlement Effective Date two million five hundred eighty nine thousand two hundred fifty one dollars and no cents ($2,589,251.00) plus interest accrued on this amount to the APX Escrow Account. So long as the Required Calpine Bankruptcy Court Approval has been received on or before February 28, 2007, upon receipt of amounts owed to it by the PX and ISO the APX shall, within ten (10) days of the Settlement Effective Date, pay to Calpine the sum of (a) the remaining two million five hundred eighty nine thousand two hundred fifty one dollars and no cents ($2,589,251.00) of Short Payments, plus (b) interest accrued on this amount, plus (c) the Calpine collateral shown on Exhibit J. Subject to receipt of the Required Calpine Bankruptcy Court Approval on or before February 28, 2007, APX, the Enron Parties, and Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. agree to withdraw with prejudice their proofs of claims against Calpine in the Calpine Bankruptcy Cases, in the form and substance of the notices of withdrawal attached as Exhibit E hereto including without limitation, Proof of Claim Nos. 3655 filed by APX, 2998 filed by Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., and 4079 and 4087 filed by the Enron Parties. Calpine, APX, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. and the Enron Parties agree that each shall act reasonably and in good faith to cooperate and to take all reasonable steps to secure satisfaction of the terms specified in this Section 4.3. Upon the Settlement Effective Date and subject to the Required Calpine Bankruptcy Court Approval being received no later than February 28, 2007, that part of Proof of Claim No. 5285 filed by FERC concerning APX Transactions and APX Related Claims and the claims of the Subject Parties in the Calpine Bankruptcy Cases concerning APX Transactions and APX Related Claims, if any, shall be deemed to have been satisfied. Other than the claims identified in this Section 4.3, the Sponsoring Parties represent that no other claims have been filed by the Sponsoring Parties in the Calpine Bankruptcy Cases for APX Related Claims. No claim filed in the Calpine Bankruptcy Cases by any of the Parties for non-APX Related Claims shall be affected in any way by this Agreement.
 
  4.4.   Seller Contributions. As part of the aggregate consideration paid for the settlement, certain Net Sellers (each a “Contributing Seller” and together the “Contributing Sellers”) have entered into a written payment agreement with APX (the “Seller Contribution Funding Agreement”) that (a) directs APX to function as agent for the net

14


 

      payees under the settlement and (b) prohibits disclosure of the identity of any of the Contributing Sellers or their respective payment amounts. Pursuant to the terms of the Seller Contribution Funding Agreement, the Contributing Sellers will forward to APX fixed dollar amounts totaling in the aggregate of one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars and no cents ($1,250,000.00) (the “Seller Funding Amount”), with such payments to be made by each such Contributing Seller via wire transfer to APX within five (5) Business Days of the date of the Settlement Effective Date in compliance with the terms of Section 4.5 of this Agreement. APX shall provide all Sponsoring Parties with written confirmation that the APX has received the aggregate Seller Funding Amount within seven (7) Business Days of the date of the Settlement Effective Date. In the event that a Contributing Seller does not comply with its obligation under the Seller Contribution Funding Agreement to make a required payment, APX shall disclose, to any APX Payment Recipient hereunder requesting such disclosure, the identity of such noncompliant Contributing Seller and the amount of such Contributing Seller’s required payment under the Seller Contribution Funding Agreement, and any such APX Payment Recipient hereunder has standing to and may seek to enforce such payment obligation directly against any such noncompliant Contributing Seller.
 
  4.5.   Payments. Within five (5) Business Days of the Settlement Effective Date, in order to facilitate the distribution of funds by APX to the APX Payment Recipients, (a) the ISO and PX shall release to APX all funds owed to APX, including refunds and Short Payments for APX Transactions during the Refund Period, plus interest thereon, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.3 regarding interest, (b) the Parties required to release receivables reflected in Exhibit B shall provide such releases to APX; (c) APX shall release five million one hundred sixty one thousand one hundred seventy eight dollars and ninety six cents ($5,161,178.96) in the APX Holding Account; (d) APX shall release from the APX Monetary Reserve two million forty five thousand eight hundred twenty two dollars and no cents ($2,045,822.00) held as collateral for Enron; and (e) the Contributing Sellers shall pay the Seller Funding Amount. All amounts referred to in the preceding sentence shall be placed in a segregated account to be established by the APX at its expense for purposes of effectuating this Agreement (the “APX Escrow Account”). Within ten (10) Business Days of the Settlement Effective Date, APX shall distribute all of the monies contained in the APX Escrow Account to the APX Payment Recipients shown on Exhibit B on a pro rata basis in accordance with Exhibit B, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.1.1 (the “Initial Distribution”). All funds, if any, owed to APX related to APX’s opt-in to the Existing Global Settlements in accordance with Section 4.1.1.5, shall be placed in the APX Escrow Fund immediately upon receipt. APX shall thereafter provide notice to the Parties of the amount and source of such funds received, and shall distribute all such funds to Net Buyers shown on Exhibit B on a pro rata basis within five (5) Business Days of receipt. Any failure or delay in receipt of payments, or the timing of the receipt of any funds related to APX’s opt-in to the Existing Global Settlements, shall not alter or prevent in any manner the immediate release of the balance of the Enron PX Collateral, as contemplated in Section 2.2.3 and the FERC Settlement Order. To the extent that APX receives additional funds covered by this Agreement from the ISO and/or the PX after the Initial Distribution, APX shall immediately notify

15


 

      the Parties of such receipt and distribute such additional funds within two (2) Business Days of receipt to the APX Payment Recipients shown on Exhibit B on a pro rata basis in accordance with Exhibit B.
5. NON-MONETARY CONSIDERATION
  5.1.   Additional Consideration Exchanged. Simultaneous with the Settlement Effective Date, additional non-monetary consideration shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, exchanged in the form and substance of the mutual releases set forth in Section 6.
 
  5.2.   UC Davis Medical Center. The UC Davis Medical center represents that the generation unit at the University of California Davis Medical Center only sold ancillary services to the ISO during the Refund Period. APX submitted unit-specific bids and schedules on behalf of the Regents of the University of California (“Regents”) to the ISO and APX received unit-specific dispatch instructions and ancillary service awards from the ISO. Settlement statements from the ISO clearly identify all UC Davis Medical Center schedules and transactions by unit designation for instructed energy, deviations and ancillary service award. If the Regents and the California Parties reach a settlement of refund issues related to APX Transactions prior to the Settlement Effective Date, the Regents shall be excluded from this Agreement. The APX Participants will not impede the Regents from settling issues directly related to the APX Transactions with the California Parties.
6. SCOPE OF SETTLEMENT AND RELEASES; RELEASES AND WAIVERS
  6.1.   Settlements of Proceedings by the Parties. Subject to the Required Approvals under this Agreement, all claims by any Party against any other Party for refunds, disgorgement of profits, or other monetary or non-monetary remedies for the APX Related Claims, including without limitation those claims described in Section 6.2 through 6.6, shall be deemed resolved with prejudice and settled simultaneously with the Settlement Effective Date.

  6.4.   Impact of Settlement on Enron PX Collateral. As a condition of Agreement, the Parties agree that EPMI shall be paid the Enron PX Collateral in accordance with Section 2.2.3. The Supporting Parties agree that any objections to EPMI’s July 20, 2006 motion for release of the Enron PX Collateral in FERC Docket Nos. EL00-95-000 and EL00-98-000 are resolved by the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.2, and hereby agree to withdraw such objections upon the establishment of the Enron Settlement Reserve in accordance with Exhibit D, without material modification, and the occurrence of the Settlement Effective Date. No further action shall be required of the Supporting Parties to implement the provisions of this Section 6.4.
 
  6.5.   FERC and Federal Power Act Releases.

  6.7.2.   Existing or Future Proceedings. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, the Parties shall remain free to participate in any existing or future proceeding, or to initiate any proceeding, addressing matters not settled in

18


 

      this Agreement, including, but not limited to, generic issues concerning market structure, scheduling rules, generally applicable market rules, and generally applicable price mitigation.
 
  6.7.3.   No Waiver as to Non-APX Related Claims. The releases set forth herein apply solely to APX Related Claims and the Parties hereto and do not constitute a waiver by any of the Parties of existing or future non-APX Related Claims.
 
  6.7.4.   No Third Party Beneficiaries or Admissions. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person or entity that is not a Party any rights or remedies hereunder, and no one, other than a Party, is entitled to rely on any representation, warranty, covenant, release, waiver or agreement contained herein. Moreover, except for the purpose of enforcing the terms and conditions of this Agreement as between and among the Parties, nothing herein shall establish any facts or precedents as between the Parties and any third parties as to any dispute. Each Party expressly denies any breach, liability, wrongdoing or culpability with respect to the claims against it released in this Agreement, or any other matter addressed in this Agreement, and does not, by execution of this Agreement, admit or concede any actual or potential breach, fault, wrongdoing or liability in connection with any facts or claims that have been or could have been alleged against it with respect thereto. Neither this Agreement, nor any act performed or document executed pursuant to or in furtherance of this Agreement:
  6.7.4.1.   Is or may be deemed to be, or may be used as, an admission of, or evidence of, the validity of any released claim, or of any wrongdoing or liability of any of the Parties;
 
  6.7.4.2.   Is or may be deemed to be, or may be used as, an admission of, or evidence of, any fault or omission of any of the Parties in any civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative proceeding in any court, administrative agency, regulatory authority, or other tribunal; or
 
  6.7.4.3.   Shall be offered or accepted in evidence or alleged in any pleading, except to obtain the Required Approvals, or to enforce the terms of and obtain the benefits of this Agreement. In no event shall this Agreement, any of its provisions or any negotiations, statements or court proceedings relating to them or the settlement contemplated by this Agreement in any way be construed as, offered as, received as, used as or deemed to be evidence of any kind in any action, or in any judicial, administrative, regulatory or other proceeding, except in a proceeding to enforce the terms or obtain the benefits of this Agreement or to obtain the Required Approvals. The Parties may file this Agreement in any other action that may be brought against them in order to support a defense or counterclaim based on principles of res judicata, collateral estoppel, release, good-faith

19


 

      settlement, judgment bar or reduction or any theory of claim preclusion or issue preclusion or similar defense or counterclaim.
  6.8.   Effectiveness of Releases; Waiver of Unknown Claims. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as expressly reserved in Section 6.7, it is their intention that the releases granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be effective on the Settlement Effective Date to bar all causes of action, demands and claims for monetary relief, including costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, losses and liabilities of every kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, with respect to the APX Related Claims specified in this Section 6. In furtherance of this intention, the Parties with respect to the specific matters released herein, each knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally and expressly waive, as against each other, any and all rights and benefits conferred by California Civil Code Section 1542 and any law of the United States and any state or territory of the United States or principle of common law that is similar to Section 1542 or otherwise provides, in sum or substance, that a release does not extend to claims which the party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by it, would have materially affected its settlement with the other party. Section 1542 provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
      In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Parties each acknowledge they are aware they may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which they know or believe to be true and with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but it is their intention hereby, except as expressly reserved in Section 6.7, to fully, finally and forever settle and release all matters, disputes, differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted that are set forth in this Section without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts. This Agreement is intended to include in its effect all claims encompassed within this Agreement and releases set forth in this Section 6, including those which the Parties may not know or suspect to exist at the time of execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of all such claims arising from the APX Related Claims, except as expressly reserved in Section 6.7. The releases set forth in this Section 6 shall be, and remain in effect as, full and complete releases, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
 
  6.9   Binding Effect. This Agreement, including the releases contained in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the Sponsoring Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the entry of an order confirming any Chapter 11 plan in the Enron and/or Calpine Bankruptcy Cases, an order converting the Enron and/or Calpine

20


 

      Bankruptcy Cases to Chapter 7, or an order dismissing the Enron and/or Calpine Bankruptcy Cases.

The FERC, by issuance of the FERC Settlement Order(s), shall approve the terms of this Agreement without material change or condition unacceptable to any Party (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) (if so approved, then such approval shall be a “Required FERC Approval”). Unless the FERC Settlement Order makes an express, specific finding to the contrary, or unless expressly waived by Enron, the FERC Settlement Order shall be deemed and construed, as an order finding and concluding that: (a) the Enron Settlement Reserve to be retained in the Enron PX Collateral Account is sufficient and adequate to protect the interests of Non-Settling Participants in the Enron-California Parties Settlement Agreement for any and all liabilities of any of the Enron Parties to those Non-Settling Participants with respect to the FERC Proceedings; and (b) the remainder of the Enron PX Collateral should be and is hereby ordered to be immediately released to EPMI for payment to its creditors under the Enron Plan.

The Enron Bankruptcy Court, by entry of the Enron Bankruptcy Court Order that is Final and Non-Appealable, shall grant the relief sought in the Bankruptcy Rule 9019 Motion and approve this Agreement without material change or condition unacceptable to any Party in the exercise of its reasonable discretion (if so approved, then such approval shall be a “Required Enron Bankruptcy Court Approval”).
 
  7.4.   Notice of Material Unacceptable Change or Condition. If any approval described in Section 7.1 and 7.2 and 7.3 includes a change or condition to the terms of this Agreement that materially and adversely affects any Sponsoring Party, then the affected Sponsoring Party shall provide to the other Sponsoring Parties written notice of such material change or condition (and its lack of consent thereto) within three (3) Business Days of the date of the issuance of such approval (the “Material Change Notice”). If such Sponsoring Party gives notice of its lack of consent in the manner described above, then the applicable approval shall not be deemed to be a “Required FERC Approval” or a “Required Enron Bankruptcy Court Approval” (as the case may be), and shall not fulfill the condition that such Required Approval has been obtained for the purpose of the definition of the Settlement Effective Date unless the other Sponsoring Parties agree in writing on or before March 1, 2007 that the Settlement Effective Date has occurred notwithstanding the existence of such unacceptable material change or condition.

  7.7.   Requests for Approval. This Agreement shall be reviewed by the FERC without prior certification by an Administrative Law Judge. The Sponsoring Parties will cooperate in obtaining the Required FERC Approval, Required Enron Bankruptcy Court Approval, and Required Calpine Bankruptcy Court Approval, in preparing motions requesting such approvals, and, in the case of the Required Enron Bankruptcy Court Approval and Required Calpine Bankruptcy Court Approval, in preparing proposed orders approving this Agreement in a form acceptable to the Sponsoring Parties. The Bankruptcy Rule 9019 Motions shall include a request that the Enron Bankruptcy Court’s and Calpine Bankruptcy Court’s approvals and findings become effective immediately upon entry notwithstanding the ten (10) day stay provided for in Bankruptcy Rule 6004(g).
8. ISO AND PX ACCOUNTING AND IMPLEMENTATION
  8.1.   FERC-Directed Compliance. The FERC Settlement Order shall constitute authorization and direction to the APX, ISO and PX to implement the terms of this Agreement. Upon and as a result of the FERC’s approval of this Agreement in the FERC Settlement Order, the APX, ISO and/or PX shall be required to do the following:

  11.6.3.   Inclusive of Permitted Successors. Unless otherwise stated, any reference in this Agreement to any person or entity shall include its permitted successors and assigns and, in the case of any Governmental Authority, any entity succeeding to its functions and capabilities.

  12.3.   Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 12.8, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to impart any rights or obligations to any third party (other than a permitted successor or assignee bound to this Settlement Agreement).
 
  12.4.   Costs. Except as provided in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall pay its own costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the disputes that are settled herein and the negotiation, preparation and implementation of this Agreement including costs and expenses incurred in preparing stipulations, making motions and seeking and obtaining the Required Approvals.
 
  12.5.   Modifications. This Agreement may be modified only if in writing and signed by each of the Sponsoring Parties affected by the proposed modification. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or departure from any term of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Sponsoring Party giving the waiver. No modification will be effective unless any approval of the FERC or the Enron Bankruptcy Court that may be required with respect to such modification, if any, has been received. Absent agreement of all Sponsoring Parties to the proposed change, the standard of review for any changes to this Agreement proposed by a 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). The Sponsoring Parties further stipulate that: (a) the terms of this Agreement were negotiated at arms-length and were reached voluntarily and in good faith; and (b) the terms of this Agreement have no adverse impact on retail rates.
 
  12.6.   Waiver. The failure of any Party hereto to enforce any condition or provision in this Agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of that condition or provision unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving Party; nor shall it forfeit any rights to future enforcement thereof.
 
  12.7.   Illegality. Should any provision of this Agreement be held illegal, such illegality shall not invalidate the whole of this Agreement; instead, the Parties shall, subject to applicable law, use their best efforts to meet and confer within thirty (30) days of such determination to reform the Agreement and shall work in good faith to reach agreement within ninety (90) days in order to give effect to the original intention of the Parties in all material respects.
 
  12.8.   Assignments. No rights or obligations herein may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
  12.9.   Joint and Several Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any joint and several liability among the Parties with respect to the APX Related Claims in the FERC Proceedings to create a “Joint Liability Claim” as that term is defined in the Enron Plan and the Bankruptcy Code.

27


 

  12.10.   Consents; Acceptance. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, any consent, acceptance, satisfaction, cooperation, or approval required of a Party under this Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
  12.11.   Choice of Forum. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to effect a choice of forum, as between the FERC, Enron Bankruptcy Court, and Calpine Bankruptcy Court for the resolution of any dispute, if any, that may arise under this Agreement.
 
  12.12.   Expediency. Time shall be of the essence for purposes of construing and enforcing this Agreement.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers or representatives. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed, will be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

Pro Forma
NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT AND RIGHTS
To: Addressee
From: APX Inc.
Subject: Settlement of Claims and Liabilities Relating to APX Transactions
Date: January 5, 2007
     You are receiving this Notice of Settlement and Rights because you are an entity, or successor to an entity, that contracted and received services from APX Inc (formerly Automated Power Exchange) with respect to markets overseen by the California Independent System Operator (ISO) and/or California Power Exchange (PX) during the periods May 1, 2000 through October 1, 2000 (“Pre-Refund Period”) and/or October 2, 2000 through June 20,2001 (“Refund Period”) and/or the ISO Amendment 51 and Good Faith Negotiations resulting in settlement adjustments dating back to April 1, 1998.
     As you may be aware, extensive regulatory proceedings have been ongoing for several years before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to determine whether and to what extent prices charged and collected for wholesale sales of electricity in these markets during the Pre-Refund and Refund Periods were unlawful and subject to refund. Much of this litigation has already been resolved through a series of complex settlements.
     The purpose of this Notice is to advise you that a comprehensive settlement agreement has been reached between and among many of the entities receiving service from the APX Inc. during these periods. Collectively, these entities represent over 95% of the amounts in issue (whether measured in terms of liabilities for refunds or entitlements to refunds) among all APX Participants receiving such APX services. A copy of that settlement agreement has been filed today with the FERC in Docket Nos. EL00-95, et al, and is enclosed with this Notice.
     Approval of the enclosed settlement by the FERC will finally resolve all “APX-Related Claims” as defined in the settlement. This will include any claims or liabilities that your company may have with respect to the subject services.
     Your company’s rights are set forth in Section 9 of the settlement. Briefly summarized, you have the right (i) to elect to become a “Sponsoring Party” to the settlement, (ii) to take action to demonstrate to the FERC why you should be excluded from the settlement, or (iii) to take no action, in which case you will, by default, become a “Subject Party.” It is important for you to understand that, if you take no action to be excluded from this settlement, your rights with respect to the matters addressed in this settlement will be determined by the terms of this settlement.

 


 

     The parties sponsoring this settlement are requesting that the FERC establish a deadline of January 19, 2007 for comments on this settlement. If the FERC establishes a different date for comments, APX will so notify you. If your company determines that it wants to be excluded from the settlement, you should, on or before the comment date, file with the FERC a petition for leave to intervene in the EL00-95 proceedings (if you are not presently a party to those proceedings), along with a statement and any supporting information you choose to submit as to why your company should not be bound by the settlement.
     APX Participants electing to become Sponsoring Parties may do so at any time up until the “Settlement Effective Date,” as described in the settlement.
     APX Inc. believes approval of this settlement will be in the best interests of all affected APX Participants.
     The FERC’s rules governing settlement are found at 18 C.F.R. 385.602, and can be accessed via the FERC web site at http://ferc.gov. APX stands prepared to assist any APX Participant interested in knowing more about how to participate in the FERC process. You may contact APX Inc. at the following address:
