Schedule 4.05(a)
Certain Company Liabilities
Under a New York Department of Environmental Conservation order, Astoria Generating Station is required to evaluate certain technical changes to modify its intake cooling systems. Depending on the outcome of the discussions regarding the technical changes, if any, that are required to be implemented, including the form of technology ultimately selected, it is estimated that it will be required to make approximately $75 million in capital expenditures over a four-year period in order to comply with this order. Astoria began construction of an initial pilot intake structure in April 2005 and also initiated steps to begin the determination of the extent, if any, of subsequent intake structure modifications.

  Astoria   USGC & NYDEC   Reportable Spill   A hydraulic line leaked spattering oil on the adjacent barge and dock area while system was active, approximately 8 oz. of hydraulic oil spilled. None of the oil entered the waterway.   Closed — The hydraulic oil line was secured and the system will be drained for repair. A courtesy notification was made to local agencies, but this was not a reportable spill per regulation.
 
                   
18-Jun-05
  Narrows   National Response Center, USCG, NYSDEC and NYCDEP   Reportable Spill   On 18 JUN 05 at approx. 0830 hours, Gas Turbine Operator Robert Rotelli noticed a petroleum odor on the pier near NARROWS #1 gas turbine barge. Upon further investigation, he observed a drip of oil coming through a dock drain line into the water. The rate was about one drip every 15-30 seconds. A sheen was observed on the surface of the water. There were no fuel oil systems in operation at the time and the supply piping had been previously isolated. The station was burning gas.   Closed — The station forces immediately deployed absorbent materials in the water adjacent to the barge and pier. The One Hour Responder, Ken’s Marine, was called to the site and placed additional absorbent materials near the permanent containment boom. A vacuum truck was requested to evacuate the isolated fuel oil piping. The estimated amount of fuel oil released was ten gallons. No evidence was found to indicate that any oil had entered the waterway outside of the boom. The drain port in the dock where the oil drip was observed was packed with oil absorbent material. The next step is to put a plug into the drain opening. The next step is to drain and remove the swivel joint piping sections that connect the dock piping to the gas turbine barges for inspection.

Notifications:

The incident was reported IAW the USCG Facility Response Plan. The phone call list contains the details of the calls. At 1500 hours, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection Emergency Response Investigator, Dennis Huacon, from the Pollution Prevention Section arrived and made a brief site investigation. He was satisfied with our efforts and said that this did not have any effect on NYC facilities.
 
                   
24-Aug-05
  Gowanus   National Response Center, USCG, NYSDEC and NYCDEP   Reportable Spill   Approximately one half gallon of turbine lube oil sprayed onto adjacent surfaces on the power generation barge and dock surfaces. The incident was caused by a small leak in the lube oil system. Additional absorbent material was placed on the surface of the water as a contingency measure.   Open — Absorbent material was placed on the surface of the water as a contingency measure. All areas that had any evidence of lube oil spray were cleaned. Several feet of wooden dock stringer that had oil on the surface was removed. The failed fitting was replaced.Notifications in accordance with the station spill response plans were made.

Taxes
4.09(c)
Empire Zone Credits claimed on Astoria LP’s 2003 New York State income tax return are currently under review by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. This review process is consistent with the review being undertaken by the Department of Taxation and Finance of all entities claiming real estate property tax credits under the Empire Zone Program.
Astoria LP New York State sales & use tax audit. Audit Period: December 1, 2002 through August 31, 2005.
Seller’s consolidated group was audited by the IRS for the short tax period from January 1, 2002 to February 19, 2002 as the result of filing a Form 1139 net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback from that period to its December 31, 1999 and December 31, 2000 consolidated tax years. That audit resulted in proposed adjustments to the NOL in the aggregate amount of not less than $9,700,000, and those adjustments have been protested by the Seller. That protest is currently awaiting action by the IRS Appellate Conferee in Houston, TX.
Additionally, a Form 1139 NOL carryback of Seller’s portion of a CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (“CenterPoint”) consolidated NOL for CenterPoint’s tax year ended December 31, 2002 to Seller’s consolidated tax years December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001 was audited by the IRS.
Guarantor is currently under audit by the IRS as the result of a Form 1139 filed to carryback an NOL from its October 10, 2001 to December 31, 2002 short tax year to CenterPoint’s consolidated December 31, 1998 tax year. Seller was included in Guarantor’s federal consolidated income tax return for its October 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002 short tax year. This audit is currently in the factual request stage, and no proposed adjustments have been issued at this time.
CenterPoint is currently under audit by the IRS for its consolidated tax year ending December 31, 2002, for parts of which Seller and Guarantor were members of that consolidated group (for the period from February 20, 2002 to September 30, 2002 with respect to Seller, and for the period from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002 with respect to Guarantor).
