ILLINOVA CORPORATION AND ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
GENERAL
Financial statement note disclosures, normally included in financial
statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
have been omitted from this Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, in the opinion of
Illinova Corporation (Illinova) and Illinois Power Company (IP), the disclosures
and information contained in this Form 10-Q are adequate and not misleading. See
the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in Illinova's
1998 Annual Report to Shareholders, (included in the Proxy Statement), the
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in IP's 1998 Annual
Report to Shareholders (included in the Information Statement), Illinova's and
IP's 1998 Form 10-K filings to the SEC, and Illinova's and IP's 1998 Form 8-K
filings to the SEC for information relevant to the consolidated financial
statements contained herein, including information as to certain regulatory and
environmental matters and as to the significant accounting policies followed.
In the opinion of Illinova, the accompanying unaudited June 30, 1999,
and audited December 31, 1998, consolidated financial statements for Illinova
reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Consolidated Balance
Sheets as of June 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998, the Consolidated Statements
of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. In addition, it is
Illinova's and IP's opinion that the accompanying unaudited June 30, 1999, and
audited December 31, 1998, consolidated financial statements for IP reflect all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
June 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998, the Consolidated Statements of Income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Due to seasonal and other factors which
are characteristic of electric and gas utility operations, interim period
results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
The consolidated financial statements of Illinova include the accounts
of Illinova, IP, Illinova Generating Company (IGC), Illinova Insurance Company
(IIC), Illinova Energy Partners, Inc. (IEP), and Illinova Business Enterprises,
Inc. (IBE). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. All transactions for
Illinova's unregulated subsidiaries are included in the sections titled
"Diversified Enterprises," "Interest Charges," "Income Taxes" and "Other Income
and Deductions" in Illinova's Consolidated Statements of Income.
The consolidated financial statements of IP include the accounts of
Illinois Power Capital, L.P., Illinois Power Financing I (IPFI), Illinois Power
Securitization Limited Liability Company, and Illinois Power Special Purpose
Trust (IPSPT). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. All non-utility operating
transactions are included in the section titled "Other Income and Deductions,
Net" in IP's Consolidated Statements of Income.

REGULATORY AND LEGAL MATTERS
OPEN ACCESS AND COMPETITION
The Illinois Customer Choice and Rate Relief Act of 1997, P.A. 90-561,
Illinois electric utility restructuring legislation, was enacted in December
1997. P.A. 90-561 gives IP's residential customers a 15 percent decrease in base
electric rates beginning August 1, 1998, and an additional 5 percent decrease
effective May 1, 2002. The rate decreases result in revenue reductions of
approximately $35 million in 1998, and expected revenue reductions of
approximately $70 million in each of the years 1999 through 2001, approximately
$90 million in 2002, and approximately $100 million in 2003, based on 1997
levels of consumption and compared to rates in effect in 1997.
Under P.A. 90-561, customers with demand greater than 4 MW at a single
site and customers with at least 10 sites which aggregate at least 9.5 MW in
total demand will be free to choose their electric generation suppliers ("direct
access") starting October 1999. Direct access for the remaining non-residential
customers will occur in two phases: customers representing one-third of the
remaining load in the non-residential class in October 1999 and customers
representing the entire remaining non-residential load on December 31, 2000.
Direct access will be available to all residential customers in May 2002. IP
remains obligated to serve all customers who continue to take service from IP at
tariff rates and remains obligated to provide delivery service to all at
regulated rates. Rates for delivery services for non-residential customers will
be established in 1999, in proceedings mandated by P.A. 90-561.
Although the specified residential rate reductions and the introduction
of direct access will lead to lower electric service revenues, P.A. 90-561 is
designed to protect the financial integrity of electric utilities in three
principal ways:
1) Departing customers are obligated to pay transition charges, based on the
utility's lost revenue from that customer. The transition charges are
applicable through 2006 and can be extended two additional years by the
Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC). The transition charges are calculated
by subtracting from a customer's fully bundled rate an amount equal to: a)
delivery charges the utility will continue to receive from the customer, b)
the market value of the freed-up energy, and c) a mitigation factor, which
is the higher of a fixed rate per kwh or a percentage of the customer's
bundled base rate. The mitigation factor increases during the transition
period. By Specifically preventing IP from being held completely harmless
with regard to revenue loss, the mitigation factor is designed to provide
incentive for management to continue cost reduction efforts and generate
new sources of revenue;
2) Utilities are provided the opportunity to lower their financing and capital
costs through the issuance of "securitized" bonds, also called transitional
funding instruments; and
3) Utilities are permitted to seek rate relief in the event that the change in
law leads to their return on equity falling below a specified minimum based
on a prescribed test. Utilities are also subject to an "over-earnings" test
which requires them, in effect, to share with customers earnings in excess
of specified levels.
The extent to which revenues are affected by P.A. 90-561 will depend on
a number of factors including future market prices for wholesale and retail
energy, load growth and demand levels in the current IP service territory, and
success in marketing to customers outside IP's service territory. The impact on
net income will depend on, among other things, actual revenues and the cost of
doing business.

ACCOUNTING MATTERS
Prior to the enactment of P.A. 90-561, IP prepared its consolidated
financial statements in accordance with FAS 71, "Accounting for the Effects of
Certain Types of Regulation." Because P.A. 90-561 provides for market-based
pricing of electric generation services, IP discontinued application of FAS 71
for its generating segment in December 1997, when P.A. 90-561 was enacted.
In December 1998, Illinova's and IP's Boards of Directors decided to
exit the nuclear portion of the business by either sale or shutdown of Clinton
Power Station (Clinton). FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," requires that all
long-lived assets for which management has committed to a plan of disposal be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Consequently, IP wrote off the value of Clinton and accrued Clinton-related exit
costs, which resulted in a $1,523.7 million loss, net of income taxes, and an
accumulated deficit in Illinova's consolidated retained earnings balance of
$1,616.0 million.
Illinova's and IP's Boards of Directors also chose in December 1998 to
effect a quasi-reorganization. The quasi-reorganization is an accounting
procedure that eliminated the accumulated deficit in retained earnings and
permitted the Company to proceed on much the same basis as if it had been
legally reorganized by restating the Company's assets and liabilities to their
fair values, with the net amount of these adjustments added to or deducted from
the deficit. The remaining deficit in retained earnings was then eliminated by a
transfer from paid-in capital, giving the Company a "fresh start" with a zero
balance in retained earnings. The quasi-reorganization eliminated Illinova's
consolidated accumulated deficit in retained earnings of $1,616.0 million.
IP recognized the impairment of Clinton-related assets and accrued
exit-related costs in December 1998, based on expected plant closure as of
August 31, 1999. IP now expects to consummate the sale of the Clinton-related
assets by the end of 1999. On receipt of various regulatory approvals necessary
to consummate the sale, IP will adjust its accruals for exit-related costs in
accordance with the terms of the sale. The estimated effect of adjusting the
accruals for exit-related costs is approximately a $300 million decrease.
Reduction of exit-related accruals will not immediately impact earnings. The
decrease in the accruals will result in an increase in other paid-in capital.
Implementation of a quasi-reorganization required the adoption of any
accounting standards that had not yet been adopted because their required
implementation date had not occurred. All applicable accounting standards were
adopted as of December 1998. The standards adopted included FAS 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," EITF Issue 98-10,
"Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management
Activities," SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed
or Obtained for Internal Use," and SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities."
Illinova and IP recognized other comprehensive income for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, as required by FAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
FAS 130 established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
15
<PAGE>
Illinova and IP have adopted the two-statement approach, as provided for by FAS
130 and present a separate statement of comprehensive income in addition to the
income statement. Items included in Illinova's other comprehensive income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, include unrealized gains on
securities, foreign currency translations, and related income taxes. IP's other
comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, comprised
unrealized gains on securities held in IP's nuclear decommissioning trust and
related income taxes. There were no items reported as other comprehensive income
in 1998.
MANUFACTURED GAS PLANT SITES
IP has recorded an estimated liability for Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP)
site remediation of $59 million. This amount represents IP's current estimate of
the costs it will incur to remediate the 24 MGP sites for which it is
responsible. Because of the unknown and unique characteristics at each site, IP
cannot currently determine its ultimate liability for remediation of the sites.
In October 1995, to offset the burden imposed on its customers, IP
initiated litigation against a number of insurance carriers. Settlements or
settlements in principle have been reached with all thirty of the carriers.
Settlement proceeds recovered from the carriers will offset a significant
portion of the MGP remediation costs and will be credited to customers through
the tariff rider mechanism which the ICC has previously approved. Cleanup costs
in excess of insurance proceeds will be fully recovered from IP's transmission
and distribution customers.
TREASURY STOCK
Through June 30, 1999, IP has purchased a total of 12,751,724 shares of
its common stock from Illinova, all of which are held as treasury stock and
deducted from common equity at the cost of the shares purchased. No shares of IP
common stock were purchased during the first six months of 1999. In October
1998, the Illinova Board approved the repurchase of up to 12 million shares of
Illinova common stock over the next six to twelve months in conjunction with
IP's issuance of securitized debt. No additional repurchases are planned at
present. For more information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" of
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" on page 34 of this report.
As part of the contemplated merger with Dynegy, on June 13, 1999,
Illinova entered into a forward purchase agreement allowing purchases on the
open market of up to 6.64 million shares of Illinova common stock over the next
two years. At present no shares have been purchased under this agreement.
FINANCIAL AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Trading Activities- Illinova, through its subsidiaries, IP and IEP,
engages in the brokering and marketing of electricity and natural gas. IP and
IEP use a variety of instruments, including fixed-price swap agreements,
variable-price swap agreements, exchange-traded energy futures and options
contracts, and over-the-counter forwards, swaps, and options.
As of December 31, 1998, Illinova and its subsidiaries adopted EITF
98-10. For more information regarding Illinova's adoption of new accounting
pronouncements, see Accounting Matters of this section on page 15 of this
report. At June 30, 1999, IP's and IEP's derivative assets and liabilities were
16
<PAGE>
recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses shown net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. IP and IEP record
realized gains and losses as components of operating revenues and operating
expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The notional quantities and average terms of commodity instruments held
for trading purposes at June 30, 1999, are presented below:
Volume-Fixed Volume-Fixed Average
Price Payor Price Receiver Term
Electricity
IP 1,650 MW 1,550 MW 1 year
IEP 11,475 MW 11,339 MW 1 year
Gas
IEP (in thousands) 5,980 MMBtu 5,980 MMBtu 1 year
All notional amounts reflect the volume of transactions but do not
represent the dollar amounts or actual megawatts exchanged by the parties to the
contracts. Accordingly, notional amounts do not accurately measure Illinova's
exposure to market or credit risk.
The estimated fair value of commodity instruments held for trading
purposes at June 30, 1999, are presented below:
Fair Value Fair Value
(Millions of dollars) Assets Liabilities
Electricity
IP $23.5 $49.0
IEP 28.8 37.5
---- ----
52.3 86.5
Gas
IEP 1.8 1.1
--- ---
$53.8 $87.6
The fair value was estimated using quoted prices and indices where
available and the liquidity of the market for the instrument was considered. The
fair values are subject to volatility based on changing market conditions.
The weighted average term of the trading portfolio, based on volume, is
less than one year. The maximum and average terms disclosed herein are not
indicative of likely future cash flows as these positions may be modified by new
transactions in the trading portfolio at any time in response to changing market
conditions, market liquidity, and Illinova's risk management portfolio needs and
strategies. Terms regarding cash settlements of these contracts vary with
respect to the actual timing of cash receipts and payments.
Non-Trading Activities- To reduce the risk from market fluctuations in the price
of electricity and related transmission, Illinova, through its subsidiary IP,
enters into forward transactions, swaps, and options (energy derivatives). These
instruments are used to hedge expected purchases, sales, and transmission of
electricity (a portion of which are firm commitments at the inception of the
hedge). The weighted average maturity of these instruments is less than one
year.
Periodically, IP has used interest rate derivatives (principally
interest rate swaps and caps) to adjust the portion of its overall borrowings
subject to interest rate risk. As of June 30, 1999, there were no interest rate
derivatives outstanding.
In order to hedge expected purchases of emission allowances, IP has
entered into swap agreements and written put options with other utilities to
mitigate the risk from market fluctuations in the price of the allowances. At
17
<PAGE>
June 30, 1999, the notional amount of two emission allowance swaps was 126,925
units, with a recorded liability of $19.9 million, based on fair value at
delivery date. The maximum maturity of the swap agreements is 10 years. These
swap agreements do not fall under the scope of FAS 133. Due to the remote
probability of exercise, the three put options written by IP are considered
immaterial.
As of December 31, 1998, Illinova and its subsidiaries adopted FAS 133.
IP's derivative assets and liabilities are currently recorded on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains and losses shown
net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Hedge accounting was not applied.
In the future, if hedge accounting is applied, unrealized gains and losses will
be shown as a component of Comprehensive Income in the equity section of the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. IP records realized gains and losses as components
of operating revenues and operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. As of June 30, 1999, all non-trading derivative instruments were
accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.
The notional quantities and the average term of energy derivative
commodity instruments held for other than trading purposes at June 30, 1999,
follows:
Volume-Fixed Volume-Fixed Average
Price Payor Price Receiver Term
Electricity
IP 650 MW 150 MW 1 year
In addition to the fixed-price notional volumes above, IP recorded a $25
million liability in 1998 for two "commodity for commodity" energy swap
agreements totaling 350 MW which are not considered derivatives as defined by
FAS 133. As of June 30, 1999, the swap liability decreased to $21.6 million. The
decrease in the liability is due to IP's commencing repayment of one power swap
in January 1999.
The notional amount is intended to be indicative of the level of
activity in such derivatives, although the amounts at risk are significantly
smaller because changes in the market value of these derivatives generally are
offset by changes in the value associated with the underlying physical
transactions or in other derivatives. When energy derivatives are closed out in
advance of the underlying commitment or anticipated transaction, the market
value changes may not be offset because price movement correlation ceases to
exist when the positions are closed.
The estimated fair values of energy derivative commodity instruments,
held for non-trading purposes at June 30, 1999, are presented below:
Fair Value Fair Value
(Millions of dollars) Assets Liabilities
Electricity
IP $4.1 $12.0
The fair value was estimated using quoted prices and indices where
available, and considering the liquidity of the market for the instrument. The
fair values are subject to significant volatility based on changing market
conditions.
The average maturity and fair values discussed above are not necessarily
indicative of likely future cash flows. These positions may be modified by new
offsetting transactions at any time in response to changing generation forecast,
market conditions, market liquidity, and Illinova's risk management portfolio
needs and strategies. Terms regarding cash settlements of these contracts vary
with respect to the actual timing of cash receipts and payments.

ILLINOVA - SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
In 1997, the FASB issued FAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information." This statement superseded FAS 14, "Financial Reporting
for Segments of a Business Enterprise," and established new standards for
defining a company's segments and disclosing information about them. The new
statement requires that segments be based on the internal structure and
reporting of a company's operations.
The Illinova enterprise comprises six separate corporations and eight functional
business groups. The business groups and their principal activities are as
follows:
o IP Customer Service Business Group - transmission, distribution, and sale
of electric energy; distribution, transportation, and sale of natural gas
in Illinois.
o IP Wholesale Energy Business Group - fossil-fueled electric generation in
Illinois, wholesale electricity transactions throughout the United States,
and dispatching activities.
o IP Nuclear Generation Business Group - nuclear-fueled electric generation
in Illinois.
o Illinova Energy Partners - energy-related products and services throughout
the United States and Canada.
o Illinova Generating Company - independent power projects throughout the
world.
o IP Financial Business Group - financial support functions such as
accounting, finance, corporate performance, audit and compliance, investor
relations, legal, corporate development, regulatory, risk management, and
tax services.
o IP Support Services Business Group - specialized support functions,
including information technology, human resources, environmental resources,
purchasing and materials management, and public affairs.
o Corporate - Illinova Corporation, Illinova Insurance Company and Illinova
Business Enterprises - holding company; insurance and risk products; and
miscellaneous business lines.
Of the above-listed segments, the IP Financial Business Group, the IP Support
Services Business Group, and Corporate did not individually meet the minimum
threshold requirements for separate disclosure and are combined in the Other
category.
In 1998, three measures were used to judge segment performance: contribution
margin, cash flow, and return on net invested capital. In 1999, two measures are
used to judge segment performance: contribution margin and cash flow. Omission
of return on net invested capital provides for increased focus on near-term
financial needs.

IP - SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
IP comprises five business groups. The business groups and their principal
services are as follows:
o IP Customer Service Business Group - transmission, distribution, and sale
of electric energy; distribution, transportation, and sale of natural gas
in Illinois.
o IP Wholesale Energy Business Group - fossil-fueled electric generation in
Illinois, wholesale electricity transactions throughout the United States,
and dispatching activities.
o IP Nuclear Generation Business Group - nuclear-fueled electric generation
in Illinois.
o IP Financial Business Group - financial support functions such as
accounting, finance, corporate performance, audit and compliance, investor
relations, legal, corporate development, regulatory, risk management, and
tax services.
o IP Support Services Business Group - specialized support functions,
including information technology, human resources, environmental resources,
purchasing and materials management, and public affairs.
Of the above-listed segments, the IP Financial Business Group and the IP Support
Services Business Group did not individually meet the minimum threshold
requirements for separate disclosure and are combined in the Other category.
In 1998, three measures were used to judge segment performance: contribution
margin, cash flow, and return on net invested capital. In 1999, two measures are
used to judge segment performance; contribution margin and cash flow. Omission
of return on net invested capital provides for increased focus on near-term
financial needs.

RESTATEMENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 1999 AND AS
OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
In February 2000, Illinova and IP restated their consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 to reflect a revision to the
initial estimate of the "Transition period cost recovery" regulatory asset
established in December 1998 coincident with the impairment of the Clinton Power
Station. The effect of this revision was to decrease the amount of the
regulatory asset at December 31, 1998, and correspondingly increase the related
impairment charge by $325.7 million ($196.5 million net of taxes). The impact of
this revision on the consolidated financial statements follows:

ILLINOVA CORPORATION AND ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain information contained in this report is forward-looking
information based on current expectations and plans that involve risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking information includes, among other things,
statements concerning the impact of regulatory changes, plans for the Clinton
facility, and success in addressing Year 2000 issues; as well as those that
include the words "expect," "intend," "predict," "estimate," "believe" or
similar language. Although Illinova and IP believe these forward-looking
statements are accurate, their businesses are dependent on various regulatory
issues, general economic conditions and future trends, and these factors can
cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements
that have been made.
The following factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this
report and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1998, and subsequent securities filings could cause results to differ
materially from management expectations as suggested by such forward-looking
statements: the outcome of state and Federal regulatory proceedings affecting
the restructuring of the electric and utility industry; the impact on IP of
current regulations providing for rate reductions and the phasing in of the
opportunity for some customers to choose alternative energy suppliers; the
effects of increased competition in the future due to, among other things,
deregulation of certain aspects of IP's business at both the state and Federal
levels, and the increasing popularity of alternative sources of electricity,
such as co-generation facilities; the effects of the implementation of
Illinova's various strategies to best respond to its changing business and
regulatory environment, including potential acquisitions, focused growth of
unregulated businesses and other options; the fluctuating electricity supply
demands of IP customers, which, if increased beyond IP's generation capacity,
might result in unplanned outages forcing IP to acquire additional supplies in
the electricity marketplace at uncertain and often volatile prices and
availability; changes in prices and costs of fuel; various financial risks
attendant to selling or shutting down Clinton; ongoing nuclear operational
exposures until Clinton is sold or shut down; the effect of events that can
occur in Illinova's or IP's business operations or in general economic
conditions, that could negatively impact its financial flexibility and costs of
financing; the impact of the sale or shutdown of Clinton on IP's ability to
issue indebtedness under its existing mortgages; the impact of current
environmental regulations on utilities and the expectation that more stringent
requirements will be introduced over time, which are likely to have a negative
financial effect; various factors affecting non-utility investments, such as
IGC's investments in foreign countries, which are subject to currency
fluctuations, cyclical and sustained economic downturns and political risks; the
inherent risks of active purchases and sales by Illinova, through IEP and IP, of
electricity and natural gas futures and similar contracts; and the ability of
Illinova and IP, their vendors and others to manage Year 2000 issues.
All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information
that currently is available. Illinova and IP disclaim any obligation to update
any forward-looking statement.

ILLINOVA SUBSIDIARIES
IP, a subsidiary of Illinova, engages in the generation, transmission,
distribution and sale of electric energy and the distribution, transportation
and sale of natural gas in the State of Illinois. IP has publicly traded
preferred shares outstanding but its common stock is wholly-owned by Illinova.
IGC is Illinova's wholly-owned independent power subsidiary. IGC invests
in energy supply projects throughout the world and competes in the independent
power market. IGC's strategy is to invest in and develop "greenfield" power
plants, acquire existing generation facilities and provide power plant
operations and maintenance.
IEP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinova. IEP develops and markets
energy-related products and services to the unregulated energy market throughout
the United States and Canada and engages in the brokering and marketing of
electric power and gas.
IIC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinova and was licensed by the
State of Vermont as a captive insurance company. The primary business of IIC is
to insure certain risks of Illinova and its subsidiaries.
IBE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinova and was created to account
for miscellaneous business activities not regulated by the ICC or the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and not falling within the business scope of
other Illinova subsidiaries.
Illinova Power Marketing, Inc. (IPMI) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Illinova created in April 1999, to become the wholesale generation and power
marketing company to which IP's fossil generating assets will be transferred.
The ICC approved the transfer of generation assets to IPMI on July 8, 1999.
Other required regulatory approvals for the transfer of these assets and for
IPMI's marketing activities are being sought.
RESTATEMENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1998 AND AS OF JUNE 30, 1999
In February 2000, Illinova and IP restated their financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1998 to reflect a revision to the initial estimate of
the "Transition period cost recovery" regulatory asset established in December
1998 coincident with the impairment of the Clinton Power Station. The effect of
this revision was to decrease the amount of the regulatory asset at December 31,
1998, and correspondingly increase the related impairment charge by $325.7
million ($196.5 million net of tax). The net effect of this revision was to
increase the previously reported net loss by $196.5 million, or $2.74 per common
share (basic and diluted). As a result of the quasi-reorganization described
below, there was no effect of this revision on "Retained earnings;" however,
"Total common stock equity" was reduced by $196.5 million. The financial tables
and statements, the notes to the consolidated financial statements, and
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations in the 10-Q/A have been modified to reflect these changes.
MERGER AGREEMENT
On June 14, 1999, Illinova and Dynegy Inc. (Dynegy) announced the execution of a
definitive agreement for the merger of Illinova and Dynegy, creating a full
service provider of energy products and services. The combination brings
together Illinova's strategically positioned Midwest generating facilities and
developing national energy services and products with Dynegy, a leading marketer
of energy products and services in the country. Both Illinova and Dynegy are
leading independent power developers and producers. The combined company is
expected to own more than 15,000 megawatts of domestic generating capacity,
representing the world's most geographically diverse generating asset portfolio.
Under terms of the merger agreement, which were approved unanimously by
each company's board of directors and agreed to by Dynegy's industrial
shareholders (who collectively own approximately 76% of Dynegy's outstanding
common stock), a newly established parent company will acquire all of the shares
of Dynegy and Illinova for a combination of stock and cash, subject to the
satisfaction of certain pre-closing conditions. The merger is conditioned, among
other things, upon the completion of the pending sale of Clinton by Illinova,
the approvals of the FERC, the SEC, the ICC, Illinova's common stockholders and
the expiration or termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. The
merger is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2000.
Upon closing, Chuck Watson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Dynegy, will retain that title in the combined company. Charles Bayless,
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Illinova, will continue as a
33
<PAGE>
non-executive director of the combined company. The Board of Directors of the
combined company, which will be incorporated in Illinois and headquartered in
Houston, Texas, will consist of seven members of the current Illinova Board and
seven members of the current Dynegy Board, including three designees of Chevron
U.S.A., which currently owns an approximate 25% interest in Dynegy. Illinova's
regulated utility, IP, will be a subsidiary and remain headquartered in Decatur,
IL.
Various details regarding the merger are discussed more fully in the
Form S-4 filed by Energy Convergence Holding Company on August 11, 1999, SEC
File No. 333-84965, which is incorporated herein by reference.
DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
In February 1999, IEP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinova, purchased
the Indiana-based natural gas management operations of Equitable Resources
Marketing Company. Equitable Resources Marketing (ERM) was a subsidiary of
Equitable Resources, Inc., (ERI) of Pittsburgh, PA. ERI is an integrated energy
company that produces, markets, and distributes natural gas and oil.
In April 1999, IEP also purchased Quality Energy Services (QES), a
Tempe, Arizona based natural gas marketing company.
In May 1999, IEP purchased the Chicago, IL based holdings of Energy
Dynamics, Inc., (EDI) an independent natural gas marketing firm based in Rolling
Meadows, IL.
The 1998 combined revenues of ERM, QES, and EDI were approximately $67
million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS
Cash flows from operations during the first six months of 1999,
supplemented by external financing and cash on hand, were sufficient to meet
ongoing operating requirements and to service existing common and preferred
stock dividends, debt requirements, IP's construction requirements and
Illinova's investments in its subsidiaries. However, Illinova and IP liquidity
has decreased as compared to June 30, 1998, as a result of higher fossil
maintenance costs, increased marketing expenses, and higher Clinton costs
combined with lower revenues attributable to the rate reduction mandated by P.A.
90-561.
Illinova expects to use future operating cash flows, supplemented by
external financing, to meet operating requirements and to continue to service
existing debt, IP's preferred and Illinova common stock dividends, and
Illinova's and IP's anticipated subsidiary investments and construction
requirements for the remainder of 1999.
Illinova currently has authority to issue an additional $130 million in
debt securities under an existing $300 million shelf registration. Illinova also
has in place a $130 million Revolving Credit Agreement. However, covenants in
the Illinova Revolving Credit Facility limit total Illinova debt to $350
million. At June 30, 1999 $40.5 million of new debt capacity was available.
Prior to 1999, IP paid Illinova dividends on the IP common stock held by
Illinova to provide Illinova cash for operations. IP is limited in its payment
of dividends by the Illinois Public Utilities Act, which requires retained
earnings equal to or greater than the amount of any proposed dividend
declaration or payment, and by the Federal Power Act, which precludes
declaration or payment of dividends by electric utilities "out of money properly
stated in a capital account." In the first quarter of 1999, IP did not declare
or pay dividends on its common stock. In June 1999, IP declared and paid a
34
<PAGE>
common stock dividend of $19.5 million. Based on the Board's current dividend
policy, management expects IP's retained earnings to be sufficient to support
Illinova common dividends. IP also is allowed to periodically repurchase its
common stock from Illinova in accordance with authority granted by the ICC,
contingent on IP meeting certain cash flow tests. IP currently does not satisfy
this cash flow test and it is anticipated that it will not satisfy the test
throughout 1999. This test would not interfere with the repurchases, if any, of
Illinova equity shares using securitization proceeds. Illinova's current
capacity under the existing revolving credit agreement and shelf registration
should meet its cash requirements through the third quarter of 1999. Illinova
and IP are developing additional financing capabilities to meet future needs.
From the beginning of 1999, through July 16, 1999, IP redeemed $57.1
million of 8.75% First Mortgage Bonds due 2021, $229 million of 8.00% New
Mortgage Bonds due 2023, $22.9 million of 7.95% First Mortgage Bonds due 2004,
$36.8 million of 6.50% First Mortgage Bonds due 1999, $39.85 million of 7.50%
New Mortgage Bonds due 2025, along with 154,900 shares of Monthly Income
Preferred Securities (MIPS) and 154,295 shares of various serial preferred stock
series. These securities were retired using funds from securitization proceeds
received in December 1998.
On July 20, 1999, Illinois Power's 1943 mortgage (First Mortgage) was
retired. All remaining First Mortgage debt was substituted with debt issued
under the 1992 Mortgage (New Mortgage) or defeased. New Mortgage Bonds of $35.6
million with a coupon rate of 7.5% due 2024 (Series K) and $84.2 million with a
coupon rate of 7.4% due 2024 (Series L) were substituted for First Mortgage
Bonds with identical terms and amounts (replacement Series U and V). With
proceeds received from the December 1998 securitization issuance, IP defeased
$35.2 million of 6.50% First Mortgage Bonds due 1999, $16.1 million of 7.95%
First Mortgage Bonds due 2004 and $84.7 million of 7.375% First Mortgage Bonds
due 2021.
IP's capital requirements for construction were approximately $150
million and $115 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Through 2000, IP plans to complete improvements in its generation
facilities including pollution control equipment. Illinova estimates that it
will spend approximately $380 million for IP construction expenditures in 1999.
IP construction expenditures for 1999 through 2003 are expected to total
approximately $1.4 billion. In light of the December 1998 decision to exit
Clinton and the resulting Clinton impairment, Clinton capital expenditures are
expensed as incurred and are not included in the above estimates. On March 2,
1999, in accordance with a lease agreement between IP and IP Fuel Company, IP
paid $62.1 million for partially depleted nuclear fuel in the Clinton reactor to
IP Fuel Company as a result of Clinton Nuclear Station failing to restart by
January 31, 1999. The liability for the nuclear fuel was accrued as of December
31, 1998. As part of the Clinton impairment entries at year end, nuclear fuel
was written down to the expected consumption through August 31, 1999.
Additional expenditures may be required during this period to
accommodate the transition to a competitive environment, environmental
compliance, system upgrades, and other costs which cannot be determined at this
time.
In addition to IP construction expenditures, Illinova's capital
expenditures for 1999 through 2003 are expected to include $520 million for
mandatory debt retirement. In addition, IPSPT has long-term debt maturities of
$86.4 million in each of the above years.
On June 29, 1999, IP issued $250 million of Mortgage Bonds due 2009 with
an interest rate of 7.50%. Proceeds were used to reduce outstanding short-term
borrowings. IP currently has the authority to issue $500 million in short-term
debt, which includes $354 million in committed bank lines of credit. Of these
35
<PAGE>
authorized amounts, IP had $347 million at June 30, 1999, in remaining capacity
that may be utilized to issue commercial paper and extend floating rate notes.
IP anticipates that this liquidity will be sufficient to address its
requirements into the fourth quarter of 1999. IP is developing additional
financial capabilities to meet future needs.
Following the merger announcement, several rating agencies responded
with favorable outlooks on IP and Illinova credit quality. Standard & Poor's has
changed its outlook from stable to positive, and presently rates ILN at BBB- and
IP at BBB. Duff & Phelps has placed IP on Credit Watch-Up, with a present rating
of BBB+. Moody's, which rates IP bonds at Baal and ILN notes at Baa3, affirmed
its present ratings.
ACCOUNTING MATTERS
For further information on accounting issues, see "Accounting Matters"
under "Regulatory and Legal Matters" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" on page 15 of this report.
CLINTON POWER STATION
In September 1996, a leak in a recirculation pump seal caused IP
operations personnel to shut down Clinton. Clinton returned to service May 27,
1999.
The prolonged outage at Clinton has had an adverse effect on Illinova's
and IP's financial condition, through higher operating and maintenance and
capital costs, lost opportunities to sell energy, and replacement power costs.
In addition, in March 1999, due to the failure of Clinton to restart by January
31, 1999, a provision in the lease agreement between IP and the Fuel Company
required IP to pay $62.1 million cash for the acquisition of core fuel in March
1999, to the Fuel Company Trustee for the benefit of investors in secured Notes
of the Fuel Company.
PECO AND AMERGEN AGREEMENT
On April 15, 1999, IP announced that it had reached an interim agreement
with AmerGen Energy Company (AmerGen), whereby AmerGen would purchase and
operate Clinton and IP would buy at least 75 percent of the plant's electricity
output for the next several years. AmerGen is jointly owned by PECO Energy
Company (PECO), and British Energy. IP also announced on April 15, 1999, the
execution of a revised management agreement (Agreement) with PECO for the
operation of Clinton retroactive to April 1, 1999.
On July 1, 1999, IP announced that it had signed a definitive asset
purchase agreement with AmerGen. Basic terms for the sale remain essentially
unchanged from the framework proposed in the interim agreement. The asset
purchase agreement, signed June 30, 1999, provides that IP will purchase at
fixed prices, at least 75 percent of Clinton's electricity output for its
customers through 2004 at fixed prices which exceed current and projected
wholesale prices.
Terms of the interim agreement between PECO and IP will remain in effect
until the transaction closes. Specifically, PECO is responsible for Clinton's
direct operating and capital expenses and continues to manage the station under
the existing management contract, while IP compensates PECO for management
services based on the amount of electricity the station produces. This
eliminates IP's exposure to the uncertainty regarding the costs associated with
Clinton's operations. In return for transferring this financial risk, IP has
agreed to pay PECO a management fee calculated by multiplying a fixed dollar
amount per MWH times 80 percent of the electricity generated at Clinton during
36
<PAGE>
the interim period and to allow PECO to retain 20 percent of power generation
for its own use at no cost. The financial impact of this obligation is
contingent on two variables: (1) the capacity levels at which Clinton operates
and (2) the prices at which the electricity can be sold from time to time. Based
on the terms of the revised management agreement, the fees payable to PECO
during the interim period could equal or exceed the 1999 Clinton-related O&M and
capital costs for which PECO assumed full responsibility commencing April 1,
1999.
Under terms of the definitive asset purchase agreement, AmerGen will pay
up to $20 million for the plant and property and will assume full responsibility
and liability for operating and ultimately decommissioning the nuclear station.
IP will transfer to AmerGen the existing decommissioning trust funds, expected
to total approximately $95 million at the end of 1999. IP will also make
additional payments to the decommissioning trust funds intended to be sufficient
to provide for the actual decommissioning of Clinton by 2026, when the plant's
operating license is scheduled to expire. These payments may be in the form of a
single payment of $145 million at closing, one payment of $124.2 million plus
five annual payments of $5 million, or the provision of an insurance policy
purchased by IP.
Approvals must be obtained from various regulatory agencies including
the NRC, the ICC, and the FERC. Approvals for transfer of permits and licenses
must be granted by numerous agencies, including the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency, the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety, the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources, and others. Until all approvals are obtained
and the parties close on the sale, IP will continue to maintain the license for
Clinton's operation and retain the ultimate operating authority over the plant.
REGULATORY MATTERS
FOSSIL GENERATION FILING
On July 8, 1999, the ICC unanimously approved IP's filing to sell its
fossil generating assets to Illinova. Subsequently, Illinova intends to transfer
those assets to its wholly owned subsidiary IPMI. IPMI, which was incorporated
in April 1999, will become a wholesale generation and power marketing company.
On June 11, 1999, IP made a Part 205 filing with the FERC seeking approval of a
proposed Power Purchase Agreement between IP and IPMI. IP also filed a request
with the FERC, on June 29, 1999, seeking approval for asset transfer. A response
to both filings by the FERC is anticipated in the third quarter of 1999.
ATTORNEY GENERAL COMPLAINT
On July 17, 1998, a complaint against IP was filed at the ICC by the
Illinois State Attorney General. The complaint alleges that IP failed to meet
its statutory obligations to provide adequate and reliable service in connection
with last summer's electric supply situation (for further disclosure, see "Power
Supply and Reliability" on page 42). It asks the ICC to conduct a management
audit of IP and seeks an order requiring IP to offer compensation to customers
for voluntary conservation and service interruptions. The company provided the
Attorney General with a reliability report. The Attorney General and the Company
agreed on an independent committee of two outside experts to review the report.
In June, the Attorney General and IP signed a settlement agreement in which IP
agrees to provide three annual updates to the reliability report it submitted in
response to the complaint, and agrees to maintain and in some cases moderately
enhance existing systems and maintenance practices. The parties filed a joint
motion to dismiss the complaint on the basis of this agreement, which the ICC
unanimously approved on July 28, 1999. There are no significant costs resulting
37
<PAGE>
from the agreement. Although there were limited calls for voluntary
conservation, and interruptible customers were curtailed, no firm load was
interrupted or curtailed during 1998.
SOYLAND POWER COORDINATION AGREEMENT
In March 1999, Soyland and IP signed a new Power Coordination Agreement
(PCA) and filed this agreement with the FERC. The new agreement no longer
obligates IP to provide capacity and energy to Soyland with the exception of a
small amount of capacity for the purpose of supplying Soyland's load within the
IP Control Area. Therefore, the new PCA triggered the immediate recognition of
deferred revenue from the previous Soyland prepayment of the base capacity
charge. This resulted in an increase in interchange revenues of $61 million in
the first quarter of 1999.
UNIFORM FUEL ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE (UFAC)
Prior to March 1998, the costs of fuel for electric generation and
purchased power costs were deferred and recovered from customers pursuant to the
UFAC. On March 6, 1998, IP initiated an ICC proceeding to eliminate the UFAC in
accordance with P.A. 90-561. A new base fuel cost recoverable under IP's
electric tariffs was established, effective on the date of the filing. UFAC
elimination prevents IP from automatically passing cost increases through to its
customers and exposes IP to the risks and opportunities of cost fluctuations and
operating efficiencies.
Under UFAC, IP was subject to annual ICC audits of its actual allowable fuel
costs. Costs could be disallowed, resulting in negotiations and/or litigation
with the ICC. In 1998, IP agreed to settlements with the ICC which closed the
audits for all previously disputed years. As a result of the settlements, IP
electric customers received refunds totaling $32 million during the first six
months of 1999. These refunds complete the process of eliminating the UFAC at
IP.
DEREGULATION RULEMAKINGS AND TARIFFS
The Illinois Public Utilities Act was significantly modified in 1997 by
P.A. 90-561, but the ICC continues to have broad powers of supervision and
regulation with respect to the rates and charges of IP, its services and
facilities, extensions or abandonment of service, classification of accounts,
valuation and depreciation of property, issuance of securities and various other
matters. Before a significant plant addition may be included in IP's rate base,
the ICC must determine that the addition is reasonable in cost, prudent and used
and useful in providing utility service to customers. IP must continue to
provide bundled retail electric service to all who choose to continue to take
service at tariff rates, and IP must provide unbundled electric distribution
services to all eligible customers as defined by P.A. 90-561 at rates to be
determined by the ICC. During 1998, pursuant to authority granted in P.A.
90-561, the ICC issued rules associated with (i) transactions between the
utility and its affiliates; (ii) service reliability; (iii) environmental
disclosure; and (iv) alternative retail electric supplier certification criteria
and procedures. During 1999, it is expected that the ICC will rule on (i) the
rates and terms associated with the provision of delivery services for
commercial and industrial customers; (ii) establishing the neutral fact finder
price utilized in (a) calculating competitive transition costs and (b) IP's
power purchase tariff; (iii) the competitive transition cost methodology; and
(iv) guidelines regarding standards of conduct and functional separation. A
proceeding will be opened in September 1999 to address the issue of unbundling
billing, metering, and customer handling with a final decision to be rendered
38
<PAGE>
prior to the third quarter of the year 2000. The final order on delivery service
tariffs is expected in August of 1999.
Under the new rules, Illinois utilities must keep records identifying
service interruptions experienced by each customer. Illinois utilities must also
file an annual report detailing the reliability of its service and explaining
its plans for reliability improvements. In addition, each utility must also
report the number and causes of service interruptions that were due to causes
within the utility's control. Outage targets were established for service to
individual customers and for system performance.
The extent to which revenues are affected by P.A. 90-561 will depend on
a number of factors including future market prices for wholesale and retail
energy, load growth and demand levels in the current IP service territory, and
success in marketing to customers outside IP's existing service territory. The
impact on net income will depend on, among other things, the amount of revenues
earned and the cost of doing business.
OPEN TRANSMISSION ACCESS AND COMPETITION
In January 1998, IP, in conjunction with eight other transmission-owning
entities, filed with the FERC for all approvals necessary to create and
implement the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO). On
September 16, 1998, the FERC issued an order authorizing the creation of a MISO.
The MISO has elected a seven-person independent board of directors. The goals of
this joint undertaking are to: 1) put in place a tariff allowing easy and
nondiscriminatory access to transmission facilities in a multi-state region, 2)
enhance regional reliability and 3) establish an entity that operates
independently of any transmission owner(s) or other market participants, thus
furthering competition in the wholesale generation market consistent with the
objectives of the FERC's Order No. 888. Since January 1998, four other
transmission-owning entities joined the MISO. Participation in an ISO by
utilities serving retail customers in Illinois was one of the requirements
included in P.A. 90-561, enacted in 1997. The MISO has a stated goal to be fully
operational by January 1, 2001.
See "Open Access and Competition" under "Regulatory and Legal Matters"
of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 14 of this report
for additional information.
YEAR 2000 DATA PROCESSING
Passing from 1999 into 2000 creates a risk that computer-dependent
processes will fail because the date will be read as "1900." Illinova began its
Year 2000 (Y2K) project in November 1996. The project scope encompasses all of
Illinova's subsidiaries including IP, IGC, and IEP. A central organization
provides overall project guidance and coordination among the business groups,
meeting monthly to share information, conducting internal project reviews, and
producing monthly status reports to all levels of Illinova management.
Bi-monthly Year 2000 readiness reports are provided to the Illinova Board of
Directors.
The Year 2000 project involves evaluation and testing of software,
hardware, and business processes, including mainframe and personal computer
software and hardware, process computer software and hardware, end user
computing, telecommunications and networks, vendor purchased packages, embedded
systems, facility control systems, vendors/supplies, financial institutions, and
electronic interfaces with outside agencies.
The project is divided into two focus areas. The first focus area deals
with information technology (IT) software, hardware, and infrastructure. This
39
<PAGE>
includes such items as the billing system, payroll system, accounts payable
system, personal computers, telecommunications, networks, and mainframes.
The second focus area targets non-IT operational systems and processes
which encompass most of the systems and business processes actually used to
deliver electricity and gas to customers. This is also the area where embedded
systems and microprocessors are found. Included in this focus area are power
plant facilities, transportation systems such as railways and barges, fuel
suppliers, electric and gas transmission and distribution facilities,
substations and transformers, meters, building systems such as HVAC and
security, and financial institutions.
The overall status of Illinova's Y2K project is illustrated in the table

** IP important to operations items were Year 2000 ready on July 30, 1999, with
the exception of one process computer system at Clinton and one process computer
system in our fossil power system.
IT systems (such as billing, payroll, etc.) and infrastructure were
completed June 30, 1999. The customer billing system, materials management
system, accounts payable system, power plant maintenance system, payroll system,
and shareholder system have been remediated and are now year 2000 ready. Year
2000 work has not caused any IT projects to be delayed, and thus no maintenance
costs have been deferred.
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has charged the North
American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) with taking the lead in
facilitating North American-wide coordination of electric utilities' Year 2000
efforts. The collective efforts of the industry will minimize risks imposed by
Year 2000 to the reliable supply of electricity. NERC has in turn assigned the
regional reliability councils the responsibility of assessing their respective
networks to ensure reliable electric supply. IP is taking an active role within
its regional council (MAIN) in assessment and renovation of the grid and in
developing contingency plans to minimize any unexpected Year 2000 grid problems.
Illinois Power is also participating in NERC drills. IP's power plants and
transmission and distribution mission critical items are believed to be fully
Year 2000 ready.
The total cost for achieving Year 2000 readiness for Illinova is
estimated to be approximately $19.6 million through 1999. Through the end of
July 1999, $14.8 million, or 76% of the total $19.6 million had been spent.
Contingency plans focus on Illinova's "mission critical" business
processes. Contingency plans were developed in accordance with industry
guidelines, such as NERC and the General Accounting Office, and involved senior
management review and approval. These plans address business continuity and the
ability to deliver essential products and services to customers in the event of
unexpected Year 2000 problems. Drills will be conducted to test these
contingency plans.
Illinova has assessed potential worst-case scenarios and determined its
most reasonably likely worst-case scenario to be a severe winter storm coupled
with a loss of major telecommunications carrier causing disruptions in
dispatching generation, dispatching emergency response crews, and communicating
with financial institutions.
Contingency plans address the above scenarios as well as other potential
scenarios that could affect the ability to serve our customers and maintain the
financial viability of Illinova.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
GAS MANUFACTURING SITES

NITROGEN OXIDE
On October 27, 1998, the U.S. EPA finalized air pollution rules that
will require substantial reductions of NOx emissions in Illinois and 21 other
states. This rule will require the installation of NOx controls by May 2003,
with each Illinois utility's exact reduction requirement to be specified in
1999. Preliminary estimates of the capital expenditures needed in 2000 through
2003 to comply with these new NOx limitations range from $90 million to $140
million. NOx estimates are included in forecasted capital expenditures. The
legality of this proposal, along with its technical feasibility, is being
successfully challenged by a number of states, utility groups, and utilities,
including IP.
EMISSION ALLOWANCE EXCHANGES
The value of emission allowances expected to be given up in future
periods as the result of exchange agreements was recorded in the third quarter
1998 at the current market price and a liability of $9.8 million was recognized.
This obligation will be adjusted as price fluctuates until the allowances are
surrendered. The market value and recorded liability of the allowances at June
30, 1999, was $19.9 million.
GLOBAL WARMING
On December 11, 1997, international negotiations to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions concluded with the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. This Protocol
requires the United States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 7% below 1999
levels during the years 2008 through 2012 and to make further reductions
thereafter. Before it can take effect, this protocol must be ratified by the
United States Senate. However, United States Senate Resolution 98 which passed
95-0 in July 1997, says the Senate would not ratify an agreement that fails to
include commitments for all countries or would damage the economy of the United
States. Since the Protocol does not contain these key elements, ratification
would be a major political issue. It is anticipated that a ratification vote
will be delayed until the current administration feels the Protocol could pass,
or an attractive alternative to the Kyoto Protocol is found.
IP will face major changes in the way it generates electricity if the
Kyoto Protocol is ratified, or if the Protocol's reduction goals are
incorporated into other environmental regulations. IP would have to repower some
generating units and change from coal to natural gas in other units to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. IP estimates that compliance with these proposed
regulations may require significant capital outlays and annual operating
expenses which could have a material adverse impact on Illinova and IP.
POWER SUPPLY AND RELIABILITY
Electricity was in short supply during the 1998 summer cooling season
because of an unusually high number of plant outages in the Midwest region. IP
bought generation and transmission capacity to prevent firm load curtailment and
took additional steps to avoid power outages, including upgrading transmission
lines and equipment, readying emergency procedures, and returning to service
five units that had been in cold shutdown. This resulted in a material adverse
financial impact on Illinova and IP.
The electric energy market experienced unprecedented prices for power
purchases during the last week of June 1998. IP's power purchases for 1998 were
$517 million higher than 1997 due to summer price spikes resulting in a $274
million increase in power purchased, additional purchases of $215 million to
serve increased volumes of interchange sales, and market losses of $28 million
recorded on forward power purchase and sales contracts as part of the wholesale
42
<PAGE>
trading business. Income from interchange sales was $382 million higher than in
1997 due to increased sales volumes and higher prices.
Excluding Clinton, IP has in excess of 400 MW of additional generation
on line for the summer of 1999 as compared to 1998. This includes approximately
235 MW from five oil-fired units which were brought up from cold shutdown during
the summer of 1998 and 176 MW from four natural gas turbines that IP installed
which became operational in June 1999. Total cost for the two projects is
approximately $87 million. IP also refurbished nine gas turbines already in
service at an approximate cost of $13 million. In addition, the restructuring of
the Soyland PCA agreement freed up an additional 287 MW of capacity. Clinton
returned to full power operation on June 2, 1999, providing additional
generating capacity to serve firm load. IP expects to have sufficient generating
capacity to serve firm load during the periods of peak summer demand using
demand-side and supply-side initiatives taken in response to the 1998 regional
supply crisis. If generation is lost or demand is at unprecedented levels, firm
load could be curtailed.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Electric Operations - Electric revenues for the second quarter of 1999
decreased $27.9 million compared to the second quarter of 1998 primarily due to
the 15% residential rate decrease effective August 1, 1998, and the
reclassification of revenue-related taxes mandated by deregulation legislation.
Revenue-related taxes are now accounted for as a liability, and both revenues
and general taxes are reduced with no resultant impact on net income. The rate
decrease resulted in revenue reductions of $14.9 million in the second quarter
of 1999. The impact of the reclassification of $9.8 million in revenue-related
taxes from revenue and general taxes negatively impacted electric revenues.
Electric interchange revenues decreased $56.5 million. This decrease is
attributable to a decrease in interchange volume offset by $3.3 million of
income to reflect mark-to-market for forward contracts and options. Power
purchased decreased $182.8 million due largely to decreased interchange volume.
During the quarter, fuel for electric plants increased $6.1 million due to
increased generation. These factors combined to increase electric margin $92.3
million for the quarter.
Kilowatt hour (kwh) sales to ultimate consumers decreased 0.2% for the
quarter due to decreases of 5.3% and 0.3% in the residential and the commercial
markets, respectively, offset by an increase of 2.4% in the industrial market.
Cooling degree days decreased approximately 36% from 1998 which contributed to
the decrease in sales to the temperature-sensitive markets.
The equivalent availability of Clinton was 38.9% and 0.0% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, due to the return of Clinton
to full power on June 2, 1999. Clinton was previously unavailable due to an
outage which began September 6, 1996. The equivalent availability for IP's
coal-fired plants was 85.3% and 74.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
Gas Operations - For the quarter, gas margin increased $0.9 million.
Gas revenues decreased $4.5 million while therm sales (excluding transport) were
constant, caused by lower gas prices. Gas purchased costs decreased $5.4 million
due to the lower gas prices and fewer therms purchased.
43
<PAGE>
Operation and Maintenance Expenses - The current quarter decrease of
$15.8 million is primarily due to PECO's assumption of Clinton's direct
operating and capital expenses offset by Clinton management fees paid to PECO.
For more information, see "PECO Agreement" of the "Management's Discussion and
Analysis" on pages 36-37 of this report.
Depreciation and amortization - The increase in depreciation and
amortization for the second quarter of 1999 compared to 1998 was $0.4 million.
Due to the Clinton impairment, nuclear depreciation decreased approximately
$23.7 million but was offset by approximately $18 million for the depreciation
of the adjustment to fair value for the fossil generation assets. In addition,
approximately $5 million in expense related to the amortization of the
transition period cost recovery asset created as part of the 1998 Clinton
impairment was recognized in the second quarter.
Diversified enterprises - Diversified enterprise revenues increased
$21.0 million for the second quarter of 1999, which was offset by an increase in
diversified enterprise expenses of $29.5 million. A majority of the net increase
in diversified enterprise expense over diversified enterprise revenue is due to
merger related transactions.
Miscellaneous - net - Of the current quarter increase of $3.4 million,
$1.6 million of the increase is attributed to the adjustment in the net present
value of the decommissioning regulatory asset. Revenues from non-utility
operations also increased in the second quarter of 1999.
Interest expense - The increase in interest expense of $10.9 million in
the second quarter of 1999 is primarily the result of interest on increased
long-term debt of $3.9 million and the adjustment in the net present value of
the decommissioning liability of $7.3 million.
Earnings (loss) per Common Share - The earnings (loss) per common share
for Illinova during the second quarter of 1999 and 1998 resulted from the
interaction of all the factors discussed herein as well as fewer shares of
common stock outstanding.
44
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Electric Operations - Electric revenues for the first six months of 1999
decreased $49.3 million as compared to the first six months of 1998 primarily
due to the 15% residential rate decrease effective August 1, 1998, and the
reclassification of revenue-related taxes mandated by deregulation legislation.
Revenue-related taxes are now accounted for as a liability, and both revenues
and general taxes are reduced. The rate decrease resulted in revenue reductions
of $32.3 million in the first six months of 1999. The impact of the
reclassification of $21.1 million in revenue-related taxes from revenue and
general taxes negatively impacted revenues. Electric interchange revenues
decreased $58.8 million. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in
interchange volume offset by $60.1 million revenue recognition resulting from
the restructuring of a Soyland Power Cooperative power supply contract. Power
purchased decreased $228.2 million due largely to decreased interchange volume.
During the first six months, fuel for electric plants increased $1.8 million due
to increased generation. These factors combined to increase electric margin
$118.3 million.
Kilowatt hour (kwh) sales to ultimate consumers increased 3.0% for the
first six months primarily due to increases of 3.3% and 4.4% in the residential
and the commercial markets, respectively. Cooling degree days decreased
approximately 36% from 1998 which contributed to the decrease in
temperature-sensitive markets, which was offset by an increase of 11% in heating
degree days.
The equivalent availability of Clinton was 19.5% and 0.0% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, due to the return of Clinton
to full power on June 2, 1999. Clinton was previously unavailable due to an
outage which began September 6, 1996. The equivalent availability for IP's
coal-fired plants was 83.1% and 76.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
Gas Operations - For the six months ended June 30, 1999, gas margin
increased $0.8 million. Gas revenues increased $2.0 million, while therm sales
(excluding transport) were constant, caused by colder winter weather, offset by
lower gas prices. Gas purchased costs increased $1.1 million due to higher
consumption, offset by lower gas prices and fewer therms purchased.
Operation and Maintenance Expenses - Of the increase for the first six
months of 1999 of $27.1 million, $29 million occurred during the first quarter
of 1999 due to higher operating and maintenance expenses associated with the
Clinton outage. This $29 million includes $12.4 million of costs which would
have been considered capital additions had Clinton not been impaired. During the
second quarter PECO assumed Clinton's direct operating and capital expenses,
which were offset by Clinton management fees paid to PECO. For more information,
see "PECO Agreement" of the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" on pages 36
and 37 of this report.
Depreciation and Amortization - The decrease in depreciation and
amortization for the first six months of 1999 as compared to 1998 was $4.2
million. Due to the Clinton impairment, nuclear depreciation decreased
approximately $47 million, but was offset by approximately $36 million for the
depreciation of the adjustment to fair value for the fossil generation assets.
In addition, approximately $5 million in expense related to the amortization of
the transition period cost recovery asset created as part of the Clinton
impairment was recognized in the second quarter.
Diversified enterprises - Diversified enterprise revenues increased
$11.2 million for the first six months of 1999, which was offset by an increase
in diversified enterprise expense of $16.3 million. The net increase of
45
<PAGE>
diversified enterprise expense over diversified enterprise revenues is due
primarily to merger related transaction costs.
Miscellaneous - net - Of the first six months increase of $15.8 million,
$6.5 million is miscellaneous credits of IGC. Interest income increased $3.0
million primarily due to the investment of the proceeds of the transitional
funding trust notes issued in December 1998 and the adjustment in the net
present value of the decommissioning regulatory asset. A $2.1 million increase
in miscellaneous non-operating income is attributable to the recognition of
nontaxable income related to the decommissioning regulatory asset. Revenues from
non-utility operations also increased during the first six months of 1999.
Interest expense - The increase in interest expense of $17.4 million in
the first six months of 1999 is the result of interest on increased long-term
debt of $5.6 million, the adjustment in the net present value of the
decommissioning liability of $14 million, and increased amortization of debt
expense and loss on reacquired debt of $2.6 million, offset by decreased
interest on short term debt of $4.8 million.
Earnings per Common Share - The earnings per common share for Illinova
during the first six months of 1999 and 1998 resulted from the interaction of
all the factors discussed herein as well as fewer shares of common stock
outstanding.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ILLINOVA SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Customer Service
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, both the contribution margin and cash
flow measures were lower than for the corresponding period in 1998. Contribution
margin is lower for the quarter by $21 million, primarily due to decreased
electric revenues as discussed below. Other factors contributing to the decrease
are amortization of the regulatory asset, slightly higher O&M expenses; and
higher internal charges paid to the Wholesale Energy Group and Nuclear Group for
the purchase of electricity. Partially offsetting these items were slightly
lower gas purchases than in 1998.
Cash flow also reflected a decrease of about $36 million from 1998, primarily
due to lower net income.
Transmission, Distribution and Sale of Electric Energy
- ------------------------------------------------------
The Customer Service Business Group derives its revenues through regulated
tariffs. Its source of electricity is the Wholesale Energy business group and
the Nuclear group; electricity was provided to the Customer Service Business
Group at a fixed 2.9 cents per kwh in 1999 and 2.5 cents per kwh in 1998.
Retail electric revenues, excluding interchange sales, for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 decreased 10.0% over the corresponding period in 1998,
primarily due to the 15% residential decrease mandated by P.A. 90-561, which
became effective July 15, 1998, voluntarily advanced by IP from the statutory
effective date of August 1 and a slight decrease in kwh sales to customers.
Additionally, operating costs were higher during the three months ended June 30,
1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

<PAGE>
Transmission, Distribution and Sale of Natural Gas
- --------------------------------------------------
Revenues are derived through regulated tariffs. During the three months ended
June 30, 1999, revenues from gas sales and transportation were down 9.1%, while
therms sold and transported were up slightly (0.9%) over the second quarter of
1998. The decrease in revenues was due to lower gas prices in 1999, which
resulted in lower PGA revenues. The margin on gas sales and transportation
increased 3.3% during the period due to a prior-period PGA adjustment and the
slight increase in therm sales.
Wholesale Energy
Contribution margin during the three months ended June 30, 1999 is about $41
million higher than during the corresponding period in 1998, primarily due to
the significantly higher purchased power costs in 1998, when the Company
purchased high-priced electricity to meet system requirements and off-system
sale obligations. Partially offsetting this major variance in power purchases
are lower revenues, higher depreciation due to the write-up to market value of
the fossil assets, higher O&M costs and higher internal charges recorded for
power purchased from the nuclear facility.
Cash flow decreased about $129 million, primarily due to higher purchased power
costs in 1998, allocated to the Nuclear Group. Higher construction expenditures
in 1999 to reflect the installation of gas turbines at the Tilton Energy Center
were also a significant factor in this decrease.
Wholesale Energy provided power to the Customer Service business group at 2.9
cents per kwh during the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 2.5 cents
per kwh during the corresponding period in 1998.
Nuclear
Both the contribution margin and cash flow measures are higher in 1999 compared
to 1998. Contribution margin is higher than 1998 due to higher intersegment
revenues in 1999 related to the restart of the plant in 1999, coupled with lower
O&M and depreciation expenses in 1999.
Cash flow was positively impacted by net income.
Illinova Energy Partners, Inc.
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the contribution margin is comparable
to the same period in 1998. Cash flow decreased $4.3 million, primarily due to a
negative change in working capital.
Illinova Generating Company
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the contribution margin variance from
1998 was less than $1 million. Cash flow increased about $10 million, primarily
due to a positive change in working capital.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
RISK MANAGEMENT
Illinova is exposed to both trading and non-trading market risks. The
non-trading market risks to which Illinova is exposed include interest rate
risk, equity price risk, foreign currency risks, and commodity price risks. The
market risk due to trading consists primarily of commodity price risk.
Illinova's risk management policy allows the use of financial derivative
products, like futures, swaps, and certain types of options to manage its
positions. Illinova uses various approaches to measure and monitor market risk,
which include Value-at-Risk (VaR) and position sensitivity measures to market
factors. VaR is the maximum potential loss that may be incurred on a portfolio
due to adverse movements in market factors, given a confidence level and
specified holding period. VaR does not represent the expected nor the maximum
loss that may actually occur since gains and losses may differ from those
estimated, based on actual fluctuations in market factors and changes in the
composition of the portfolio during a given evaluation period.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Illinova is exposed to interest rate risk from its financing activities,
through issuance of fixed or variable-rate debt and acquisition of bank notes.
IP is likewise exposed to interest rate risk resulting from its issuance of
fixed or variable-rate debt, commercial paper, and bank notes. Interest rate
exposure is managed in accordance with policy by limiting the variable-rate
exposure to a certain percentage of capitalization. Interest rate derivative
instruments are also used when deemed appropriate to change the composition of
variable to fixed-rate component. In addition, the sensitivity of the portfolio
to changes in market factors like interest rate levels and volatility are also
monitored. At June 30, 1999, there was no interest rate derivative instrument in
use.
Interest rate VaR is calculated based on a variance-covariance approach
using the RiskMetrics FourFifteen(TM) model. A 95 percent confidence level and a
one-day holding period is currently used. The interest rate risk as measured by
VaR at June 30, 1999, March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, is given below.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Millions of dollars) June 30, 1999 March 31,1999 December 31,1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VaR VaR VaR
Illinova, including IP debt $7.9 $9.2 $14.9
IP debt only $7.3 $8.7 $14.2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contributing factors to the decrease in VaR were the retirement of high
coupon debt with maturities extending past the year 2020 and an increase in
commercial paper levels from that at year end. At December 31, 1998, VaR was
unusually high due to the issuance of securitized debt with the removal of
called bonds not occurring until after year end. The securitized debt has
shorter maturities than the called bonds, which further contributed to the
decrease in VaR.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK
Trading Positions
Illinova is exposed to commodity price risk through IEP's power trading
activities and IP's trading and non-trading operations. IEP uses a
variance-covariance approach to calculate VaR, similar to the RiskMetrics(TM)
model, to monitor and control its market risk positions. IP measures, monitors,
and manages its commodity price risk using a proprietary VaR model employing a
Monte Carlo simulation technique. IP and IEP both use a 95 percent confidence
level and a five-day holding period to monitor their daily trading market risk
positions. During the first quarter of 1999, the Board approved a change in the
risk management policy, to use a five day holding period instead of a four-day
period. IP's and IEP's trading VaR at June 30, 1999, March 31, 1999, and
December 31, 1998, as restated using a five day holding period follow:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 1999 March 31, 1999 December 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Millions of Dollars) VaR VaR VaR
IP $0.3 $0.6 $1.4
IEP 0.1 0.1 0.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IP and IEP both use stress and scenario testing to control "event risk",
(i.e., the risk that certain stressful market events will occur and result in a
loss). In addition, option positions are monitored using sensitivity limits such
as delta (sensitivity to price change), gamma (sensitivity of delta to price
change), and vega (sensitivity to change in implied volatility).
Non-Trading Positions
IP is also exposed to non-trading commodity price risk through its
energy generation business. IP uses physical contracts and is authorized to use
financial derivative instruments to manage its native load requirements. To
measure, monitor, and control the commodity price risk of its non-trading
portfolio, IP uses the same proprietary Monte Carlo model used in the trading
portfolio.
The Monte Carlo simulation process used in this VaR model generates the
power price, fuel price and load series that are used to value the generation
assets, fuel assets, and contracts entered into by the firm (e.g., tolling,
forward, call and put options). A sophisticated process is used to generate
daily and hourly prices based on historical price series and volatility, wherein
"price spikes," a recent phenomenon in the electricity markets, are modeled into
the price series. The VaR calculated by this model represents the maximum
reduction in operating margin given a 95 percent confidence level. This means
that there is only a 5 percent probability that the reduction in operating
margin from the expected margin will be greater than what is provided by the VaR
number. In this model, a sufficient number of scenarios are generated, whereby
each scenario simulates a one-year margin (one-year holding period). The
expected margin is obtained by averaging the margins calculated from all the
simulation scenarios. The VaR is obtained by sorting the simulation results from
the lowest to highest value and taking the 95th percentile worst case value.
Since the new VaR methodology was implemented at the beginning of March
1999, there is no comparable VaR number at December 31, 1998. The VaR for the
non-trading portfolio at June 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999, using a five-day
holding period is $4.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively.
The overall IP electricity portfolio is also controlled using quarterly
expected margin reduction limits. In this process, the difference between the
current expected margin and last quarter's expected margin is monitored against
54
<PAGE>
the quarterly limits. To control "event risk," IP measures the "Stress-VaR,"
i.e., the VaR calculated using assumptions similar to the events that led to the
electricity price spikes in June 1998. The "Stress-VaR" is monitored against
stress limits that were approved by the Board of Directors.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS RISK
Illinova's foreign operations risk is its inherent risk of loss due to
the potential volatility of emerging countries and fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. At June 30, 1999, IGC
had invested $78 million in several international operations, many of which are
joint ventures. Primarily, these investments are with affiliates owning
energy-related production, generation, and transmission facilities.
IGC is exposed to foreign currency risk, sovereign risk, and other
foreign operations risks, primarily through investments in affiliates of $48
million in Asia and $127 million in South and Central America. To mitigate risks
associated with foreign currency fluctuations, the majority of contracts entered
into by IGC or its affiliates are denominated in or indexed to the U.S. dollar.
OTHER MARKET RISK
Illinova is exposed to equity price risk primarily through IP. IP
maintains trust funds, as required by the NRC, to fund certain costs of nuclear
decommissioning. As of June 30, 1999, these funds were invested in domestic and
international equity securities, fixed income securities, and cash and cash
equivalents. By maintaining a portfolio that includes equity investments, IP is
maximizing the return to be used to fund nuclear decommissioning, which in the
long term will correlate better with inflationary increases in decommissioning
costs. The equity securities included in the Corporation's portfolio are exposed
to price fluctuations in equity markets as a result of fluctuations in interest
rates. IP actively monitors its portfolio by benchmarking the performance of its
investments against equity and fixed-income indexes. It maintains and
periodically reviews established target allocations of the trust assets approved
in the investment policy statement. VaR at June 30, 1999, and March 31, 1999,
calculated based on a 95 percent confidence level and a one day holding period
follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 1999 March 31, 1999

[FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND)
This First Mortgage Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of
the Company (the "Bonds") in unlimited aggregate principal amount, of the series
hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by
the Mortgage and Deed of Trust (the "Indenture"), dated November 1, 1943,
executed by the Company to Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Trustee"), as
Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including
the Supplemental Indenture dated February 15, 1993, which amended Section 1 of
Article IX of the Indenture, reference is hereby made for a description of the
properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the
rights of the registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect
thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be,
secured. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may
mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may
otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This First Mortgage Bond is one of
a series designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, 7.50% Series Due 2009 (the
"Bonds of the 2009 Series") of the Company, unlimited in aggregate principal
amount, issued under and secured by the Indenture and described in the
supplemental indenture dated as of June 15, 1999 (the "Supplemental Indenture of
June 15, 1999"), between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the
Indenture.
The Bonds of the 2009 Series are subject to redemption on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Supplemental Indenture of June 15,
1999.
To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture,
modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental
thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of
the Bonds and coupons may be made with the consent of the Company by an
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in amount of the Bonds
entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held
as provided in the Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of the holders of not
less than 66 2/3% in amount of the Bonds of any series entitled to vote then
outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more
but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Indenture
are so affected; provided however, that no such modification or alteration shall
be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest
or premium, if any, on this First Mortgage Bond.
67
<PAGE>
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur,
the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Indenture
may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides
that such declaration may in certain events be rescinded by the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
premium or interest on this First Mortgage Bond, or for any claim based hereon
or on the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute, rule
of law, or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers
being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this First Mortgage
Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise
released by the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein
or in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto contained shall
prevent the enforcement of the liability, if any, of any stockholder or
subscriber to capital stock upon or in respect of shares of capital stock not
fully paid up.

To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture,
modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental
thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of
the Bonds and coupons may be made with the consent of the Company by an
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in amount of the Bonds
entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held
as provided in the Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of the holders of not

outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more
but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Indenture

or premium, if any, on this First Mortgage Bond.

The Pollution Control Series U Bonds are subject to redemption in
accordance with the terms of Article III of the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 of

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur,

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
premium or interest on this First Mortgage Bond, or for any claim based hereon
or on the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute, rule
of law, or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers
being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this First Mortgage
Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise
released by the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein
or in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto contained shall

subscriber to capital stock upon or in respect of shares of capital stock not
fully paid up.

Indenture No. 1 of July 15, 1999 or this First Mortgage Bond to the contrary,

interest on, bonds which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the
New Mortgage (the "New Mortgage Pollution Control Series U Bonds") upon the
basis of the issuance and delivery to the New Mortgage Trustee of the Pollution

discharge the obligation of the Company to make a payment of principal, premium
or interest, as the case may be, in respect of this First Mortgage Bond which is
then due.

the New Mortgage) and is subject to all of the rights and restrictions
applicable to Pledged Bonds as set forth in the New Mortgage. Without limiting

the contrary, any payment by the Company under the New Mortgage of principal of,

Pollution Control Series U Bonds are inconsistent with the provisions relating
to Pledged Bonds that are set forth in the New Mortgage, the provisions of the
New Mortgage shall apply.

authentication of $35,615,000 principal amount of additional Bonds pursuant to

hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by
the Mortgage and Deed of Trust (the "Indenture"), dated November 1, 1943,

Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including
the Supplemental Indenture dated February 15, 1993, which amended Section 1 of
Article IX of the Indenture, reference is hereby made for a description of the
properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the
rights of the registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect
thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be,

Indenture No. 2 of July 15, 1999"), between the Company and the Trustee,
supplemental to the Indenture.
To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture,
modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental
thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of
the Bonds and coupons may be made with the consent of the Company by an
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in amount of the Bonds
entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held
as provided in the Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of the holders of not
less than 66 2/3% in amount of the Bonds of any series entitled to vote then
outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more
but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Indenture
are so affected; provided however, that no such modification or alteration shall
be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest
or premium, if any, on this First Mortgage Bond.

the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Indenture

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
premium or interest on this First Mortgage Bond, or for any claim based hereon
or on the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute, rule
of law, or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers
being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this First Mortgage
Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise
released by the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein
or in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto contained shall
prevent the enforcement of the liability, if any, of any stockholder or
subscriber to capital stock upon or in respect of shares of capital stock not
fully paid up.

Indenture No. 2 of July 15, 1999 or this First Mortgage Bond to the contrary,

interest on, bonds which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the
New Mortgage (the "New Mortgage Pollution Control Series V Bonds") upon the
basis of the issuance and delivery to the New Mortgage Trustee of the Pollution
Control Series V Bonds shall, to the extent thereof, be deemed to satisfy and
discharge the obligation of the Company to make a payment of principal, premium
or interest, as the case may be, in respect of this First Mortgage Bond which is
then due.

the New Mortgage) and is subject to all of the rights and restrictions
applicable to Pledged Bonds as set forth in the New Mortgage. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, this First Mortgage Bond shall be subject to

Bond are inconsistent with the provisions relating to Pledged Bonds that are set

this Supplemental Indenture No. 2, or the Pollution Control Series V Bonds to
the contrary, any payment by the Company under the New Mortgage of principal of,
or premium or interest on, New Mortgage Pollution Control Series V Bonds shall,

the Company with respect to the Plant or the Project or the operation

and Obligations by Buyer, and the consummation of the other respective

to be completed after the Closing), to be held at the offices of Morgan, Lewis &

time, or another mutually acceptable time and location, on the date that is
173
<PAGE>
fifteen (15) Business Days following the date on which the last of the
conditions precedent to Closing set forth in Article VII of this Agreement have
been either satisfied or waived by the Party for whose benefit such conditions
precedent exist but in any event not after the Termination Date, unless the
Parties mutually agree on another date. The date of Closing is hereinafter
called the "Closing Date." The Closing shall be effective for all purposes as of
12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.
3.2 Purchase Price; Payment. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions contained in this Agreement, in consideration of Seller's
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of the Purchased Assets to
Buyer, at the Closing Buyer will (a) pay or cause to be paid to Seller an
aggregate amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), plus or minus any
adjustments pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3 (as so adjusted, the "Cash
Purchase Price"), by wire transfer of immediately available funds denominated in
U.S. dollars or by such other means as are agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, and
(b) assume the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations specified in Section 2.3 (the
sum of the Cash Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations is
referred to herein collectively as the "Purchase Price").
3.3 Adjustment to Cash Purchase Price. (a) Subject to Section 3.3(b), at
the Closing, the Cash Purchase Price shall be adjusted, without duplication, to
account for the items set forth in this Section 3.3(a):
(i) The Cash Purchase Price shall be adjusted to account for the items
prorated as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.5.
(ii) The Cash Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount expended by
Seller between the date hereof and the Closing Date for capital additions to or
replacements of property, plant and equipment included in the Purchased Assets

(b) At least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Closing Date, Seller
shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an estimated closing statement (the
"Estimated Closing Statement") that shall set forth Seller's best estimate of
all estimated adjustments to the Cash Purchase Price required by Section 3.3(a)
(the "Estimated Adjustment"). Within ten (10) calendar days after the delivery
of the Estimated Closing Statement by Seller to Buyer, Buyer may object in good
faith to the Estimated Adjustment in writing. If Buyer objects to the Estimated
Adjustment within such ten (10) day period, the Parties shall attempt to resolve
their differences by negotiation. If the Parties are unable to do so prior to
the Closing Date (or if Buyer does not object to the Estimated Adjustment), the
Cash Purchase Price shall be adjusted (the "Closing Adjustment") for the Closing
by the amount of the Estimated Adjustment not in dispute. The disputed portion
shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(c) and paid
as part of any Post-Closing Adjustment to the extent required by Section 3.3(c).
(c) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and
deliver to Buyer a final closing statement (the "Post-Closing Statement") that
shall set forth all adjustments to the Cash Purchase Price required by Section
3.3(a) not previously effected by the Closing Adjustment (the "Proposed
Post-Closing Adjustment") and all work papers detailing such adjustments. The
Post-Closing Statement shall be prepared using the same accounting principles,
policies and methods as Seller has historically used in connection with the
calculation of the items reflected on such Post-Closing Statement. Within thirty
(30) days after the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement by Seller to Buyer,
Buyer may object to the Proposed Post-Closing Adjustment in writing, stating in
reasonable detail its objections thereto. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer
to provide Buyer with the information used to prepare the Post-Closing Statement
and information relating thereto. If Buyer objects to the Proposed Post-Closing
Adjustment, the Parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute by negotiation. If
the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after any
objection by Buyer, the Parties shall appoint the Independent Accounting Firm,
which shall, at Seller's and Buyer's joint expense, review the Proposed
Post-Closing Adjustment and determine the appropriate adjustment to the Cash
Purchase Price, if any, within thirty (30) days after such appointment. The
Parties agree to cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm and provide it
with such information as it reasonably requests to enable it to make such
determination. The finding of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be binding
on the Parties hereto. Upon determination of the appropriate adjustment (the
"Post-Closing Adjustment") by agreement of the Parties or by binding
determination of the Independent Accounting Firm, the Party owing the difference
shall deliver such amount to the other Party no later than two (2) Business Days
175
<PAGE>
after such determination, in immediately available funds or in any other manner
as reasonably requested by the payee.
3.4 Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller shall agree upon an
allocation among the Purchased Assets of the Purchase Price consistent with
Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder within sixty
(60) days after the Closing Date, except to the extent any such allocation is
required for the calculation of transfer taxes to be paid at Closing in which
case Buyer and Seller shall agree upon an allocation for Purchased Assets
subject to such transfer taxes at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date.
If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on any such allocation, such dispute shall be
resolved in accordance with Section 6.8(d) of this Agreement. The allocation
required by this Section 3.4 shall be revised based on the Post-Closing
Adjustment within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date. Each
of Buyer and Seller agrees to file IRS Form 8594, and all federal, state, local
and foreign Tax Returns, in accordance with any such agreed allocation as
adjusted as provided herein. Each of Buyer and Seller shall report the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement for federal Tax and all other Tax
purposes in a manner consistent with any such allocation determined pursuant to
this Section 3.4. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees to provide the other promptly
with any information required to complete Form 8594. Buyer and Seller shall
notify and provide the other with reasonable assistance in the event of an
examination, audit or other proceeding regarding any allocation of the Purchase
Price determined pursuant to this Section 3.4. Buyer and Seller shall not take
any position in any Tax Return, Tax proceeding or audit that is inconsistent
with such allocation. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Closing Date or paid for the most recent year (or other appropriate period) for
which actual Taxes or other amounts paid are available. Such prorated Taxes or
other amounts shall be re-prorated and paid to the appropriate Party within
sixty (60) days of the date that the previously unavailable actual figures
become available. The prorations shall be based on the number of days in a year
or other appropriate period (i) before the Closing Date and (ii) including and

either "Year 2000 Compliant" or "Year 2000 Ready" as defined in NEI/NUSMG 97-07
and as restated below. Notwithstanding the foregoing definitions, an item
required to be Year 2000 Qualified that does not satisfy the definition of Year
2000 Compliant shall only be considered Year 2000 Ready (and consequently Year
2000 Qualified) if (a) the item maintains its function as it crosses any key
date even if there may be date errors or some form of compensatory action
required to maintain valid functional operation; (b) a deficiency can be
addressed by pre-defined manual action; and (c) the integration of all manual
actions required are confirmed to be reasonably within the capability of the

destruction to facility equipment or the operation of the Facilities or material
loss of time. As used herein (and as defined in NEI/NUSMG 97-07) (x) the term
"Year 2000 Compliant" means Year 2000 Assets that accurately process date/time
data (including, without limitation, calculating, comparing, and sequencing)
from, into and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the years 1999
and 2000, and leap years (including accurate leap-year calculations) and (y) the
term "Year 2000 Ready" means a Year 2000 Asset that has been determined to be
suitable for continued use into the year 2000 even though the Year 2000 Asset is
not fully Year 2000 Compliant. For purposes of this Section 4.21, "key dates"
include, without limitation, the following: 12/31/99, 1/1/00, 2/28/00, 2/29/00,
3/1/00, 12/31/00, 1/1/01, 2/28/01, 3/1/01, 2/28/04, 2/29/04 and 3/1/04.

paragraphs (i) through (x).

6.1(a) if such breach directly arises out of or results from the performance of
services, or any breach by, PECO under the Management Agreement.
(b) A committee comprised of one or more senior representatives designated
by Seller and one or more senior representatives designated by Buyer (the

permit a reasonable number of designated employees ("Observers") of Buyer to
observe all operations of Seller that relate to the Purchased Assets, and such
observation will be permitted on a cooperative basis in the presence of
personnel of Seller but not restricted to the normal business hours of Seller;

taken or not be taken by Seller; provided, however, that Seller will be under no
obligation to follow any such recommendations or suggestions and Seller shall be
entitled, subject to this Agreement, to conduct its business in accordance with
its own judgment and discretion. Buyer's Observers shall have no authority to

representations to third parties on behalf of Seller; or to issue instructions

be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the
operation of the Purchased Assets, (B) Seller shall not be required to take any
action which would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege and (C)
Seller need not supply Buyer with any information that Seller is legally
prohibited from supplying. Seller will provide Buyer with access to the
Transferred Employee Records, but Seller shall not be required to provide access
to other employee records or medical information unless required by law or
specifically authorized by the affected employee.
(b) Buyer and Seller acknowledge that all information furnished to or
obtained by Buyer or Buyer's Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall
198
<PAGE>
be subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement and shall be
treated as "Proprietary Information" (as defined in the Confidentiality
Agreement).
(c) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date and subject to
all applicable NRC rules and regulations, each Party and its respective
Representatives shall have reasonable access to (i) all of the books and records
relating to the Purchased Assets, including all Transferred Employee Records or
other personnel and medical records required by law, legal process or subpoena,
in the possession of the other Party, and (ii) personnel employed by the other
Party, in each case to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by
the requesting Party in connection with the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations
or the Excluded Liabilities, or other matters relating to or affected by the
operation of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, compliance
with applicable laws and regulations and any investigations, audits or inquiries
by Governmental Authorities. Such access shall be afforded by the Party in
possession of such books and records or employing such Persons upon receipt of
reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. The Party exercising
this right of access shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses
incurred by the Parties pursuant to this Section 6.2(c). If the Party or Parties
in possession of such books and records shall desire to dispose of any such
books and records upon or prior to the expiration of such seven-year period,
such Party or Parties shall, prior to such disposition, give the other Party a
reasonable opportunity at such other Party's expense, to segregate and remove
such books and records as such other Party may select. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the rights of access to medical records and other confidential
employee records shall be subject to all applicable legal requirements.
(d) Seller agrees (i) not to release any Person (other than Buyer) from any
confidentiality agreement now existing with respect to the Purchased Assets, or
waive or amend any provision thereof and (ii) at Closing, to assign any rights
arising under any such confidentiality agreement (to the extent assignable) to
Buyer.
(e) Notwithstanding the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and Section
6.2(b) above, the Parties agree that prior to the Closing Buyer may reveal or
disclose Proprietary Information to any other Persons to the extent necessary in
connection with Buyer's financing and risk management of the Purchased Assets,
and, to the extent that Seller consents, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, to (i) existing and potential customers and suppliers, and (ii) to
such Persons with whom Buyer expects it may have business dealings regarding the
Purchased Assets from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that all
such Persons agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Proprietary
Information on substantially the same terms and conditions as the
Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties further agree that prior to the Closing
Seller may reveal or disclose Proprietary Information to any other Persons in
connection with Seller's financing and risk management and business and
199
<PAGE>
financing matters involving Seller's parent, Illinova Corporation, and, to the
extent that Buyer consents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
with other Persons; provided, however, that all such Persons agree in writing to
maintain the confidentiality of the Proprietary Information on substantially the
same terms and conditions as the Confidentiality Agreement.
(f) Except as may be permitted in the Confidentiality Agreement, Interim
Agreement, Management Agreement or Leased Employee Agreement, or during the
course of Buyer's due diligence investigation of the Purchased Assets prior to
the date hereof, Buyer agrees that, prior to the Closing Date, it will not
contact any vendors, suppliers, employees or other contracting parties of Seller
or Seller's Affiliates with respect to any aspect of the Purchased Assets or the
transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of Seller,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(g) Upon the other Party's prior written approval (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) either Party may provide Proprietary
Information of the other Party to the SEC, NRC, FERC, ICC, IDNS, IPSC or any
other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Purchased Assets or
any stock exchange, as may be necessary to obtain Seller's Required Regulatory
Approvals or Buyer's Required Regulatory Approvals, respectively, or to comply
generally with any relevant law, rule or regulation. The disclosing Party shall
seek confidential treatment for the Proprietary Information provided to any such
Governmental Authority and the disclosing Party shall notify the other Party as
far in advance as practical of its intention to release to any Governmental
Authority any such Proprietary Information.
(h) Except as set forth in Section 6.2(e) or as required by law or
Governmental Authority, or unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties,
the Parties shall keep (i) all Proprietary Information confidential and not
disclose or reveal any Proprietary Information to any Person other than
Representatives of the Parties who are actively and directly participating in
the transactions contemplated hereby or who otherwise need to know the
Proprietary Information for such purpose and to cause those Persons to observe
the terms of this Section 6.2(h) and (ii) not to use Proprietary Information for
any purpose other than consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Parties
shall continue to hold all Proprietary Information according to the same
internal security procedures and with the same degree of care regarding its
secrecy and confidentiality as currently applicable thereto. Either Party shall
notify the other Party of any unauthorized disclosure to third parties that it
discovers, and shall endeavor to prevent any further such disclosures. Seller
shall be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Section 6.2(h) by
Seller or Seller's Representatives. Buyer's obligations with respect to the
confidentiality of Proprietary Information relating to the Purchased Assets
200
<PAGE>
shall terminate on the Closing Date except as otherwise provided in the
Confidentiality Agreement.
After the Closing Date, in the event that Seller is requested pursuant to,
or required by, applicable law or regulation or by legal process to disclose any
Proprietary Information, Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt notice of such
request or requirement in order to enable Buyer to seek an appropriate
protective order or other remedy, to consult with Seller with respect to taking
steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process, or to
waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Section 6.2(h).
Seller agrees not to oppose any action by Buyer to obtain a protective order or
other appropriate remedy after the Closing Date. In the event that no such
protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that Buyer waives compliance
with the terms of this Section 6.2(h), Seller shall furnish only that portion of
the Proprietary Information which Seller is advised by counsel is legally
required. In any such event Seller shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to ensure that all Proprietary Information that is so disclosed will be accorded
confidential treatment.
(i) The Parties agree that the Confidentiality Agreement will terminate in
accordance with its terms, without further act or evidence by the Parties.
6.3 Expenses. Except to the extent specifically provided herein, whether or
not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the cost of legal, technical and financial consultants and the
cost of filing for and prosecuting applications for Required Regulatory
Approvals, shall be borne by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer and Seller will share
equally the cost of all filing and other fees with respect to any NRC filings,
and Buyer shall be responsible for all HSR filing fees, required to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.4 Further Assurances; Cooperation.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the
Parties hereto will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper
or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make
effective the sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure
satisfaction of the conditions precedent to each Party's obligations hereunder.
Neither of the Parties hereto will, without the prior written consent of the
other Party or as required by applicable law, take or fail to take any action
201
<PAGE>
which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere
with or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) From time to time after the Closing Date, without further
consideration, Seller will, at its own expense, execute and deliver such
documents to Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request in order to more effectively
consummate the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets or to more effectively
vest in Buyer good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets subject to the
Permitted Encumbrances. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer's expense,
in Buyer's efforts to cure or remove any Permitted Encumbrances that Buyer
reasonably deems objectionable. From time to time after the Closing Date,
without further consideration, Buyer will, at its own expense, execute and
deliver such documents to Seller as Seller may reasonably request in order to
evidence Buyer's assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations.
(c) To the extent that Seller's rights under any Seller's Agreement to be
transferred to Buyer hereunder may not be assigned without the consent of
another Person which consent has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not
constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would
constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall
use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as
promptly as possible. Seller and Buyer agree that if any consent to an
assignment of any Seller's Agreement to be transferred hereunder shall not be
obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair
Buyer's rights and obligations under the applicable Seller's Agreement so that
Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights and
obligations, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and such Seller's
Agreement, shall after the Closing appoint Buyer to be Seller's representative
and agent with respect to such Seller's Agreement, and Seller shall, to the
maximum extent permitted by law and such Seller's Agreement, enter into such
reasonable arrangements with Buyer as are necessary to provide Buyer with the
benefits and obligations of such Seller's Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall
cooperate and shall each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts after the Closing
to obtain an assignment of such Seller's Agreement to Buyer.
(d) For a reasonable time after the Closing Date and in addition to the
services contemplated by the IP Services Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree to
provide services to each other as reasonably required to the extent necessary to
ensure the continuity of support for CPS and the orderly completion of projects
or other work in progress that would be adversely affected if those services
were interrupted. Such support by one Party to the other will not be
unreasonably withheld, provided that requests for such support are made in a
timely manner. The Party providing the requested support will be reimbursed for
all reasonable costs thereof in accordance with established accounting
procedures or on an alternative cost reimbursement basis as mutually agreed by
the Parties.
202
<PAGE>
6.5 Public Statements. From the date hereof until thirty (30) days after
the Closing Date, the Parties shall not issue any public announcement, statement
or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as may be required
by law or Governmental Authority or the rules or regulations of the New York
Stock Exchange.
6.6 Consents and Approvals.
(a) Seller and Buyer shall each file or cause to be filed with the Federal
Trade Commission and the Department of Justice any notifications required to be
filed under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties shall consult
with each other as to the appropriate time of filing such notifications and
shall agree upon the timing of such filings, respond promptly to any requests
for additional information made by either of such agencies, and cause the
waiting periods under the HSR Act to terminate or expire at the earliest
possible date after the date of filing. Each Party will bear its own costs for
the preparation of any such filing.
(b) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any
event by no later than 60 days after the receipt of any findings required to be
made by any other Governmental Authority as a condition to Buyer making the
filings contemplated by this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall (i) promptly
prepare and file all necessary documentation, (ii) effect all necessary
applications, notices, petitions and filings and execute all agreements and
documents, (iii) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the transfer or
reissuance to Buyer of all necessary Permits, Environmental Permits, consents,
approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities, including, without
limitation, Seller's Required Regulatory Approvals and Buyer's Required
Regulatory Approvals, and (iv) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain all
necessary consents, approvals and authorizations of all other parties necessary
or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
required by the terms of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust,
license, franchise, permit, concession, contract, lease or other instrument to
which Seller or Buyer is a party or by which any of them is bound. The Parties
shall respond promptly to any requests for additional information made by such
Governmental Authorities, and use their respective Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to cause regulatory approval to be obtained at the earliest possible
date after the date of filing. Each Party will bear its own costs of the
preparation of such filings. Each of Seller and Buyer shall have the right to
review in advance all characterizations of the information relating to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement which appear in any filing made in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
203
<PAGE>
(c) Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other and promptly prepare
and file notifications with, and request Tax clearances from, state and local
taxing authorities in jurisdictions in which a portion of the Purchase Price may
be required to be withheld or in which Buyer would otherwise be liable for any
Tax liabilities of Seller pursuant to such state and local Tax law.

(e) Buyer shall have the primary responsibility for securing the transfer,
reissuance or procurement of the Permits and Environmental Permits (other than
Transferable Permits) effective as of the Closing Date. Seller shall cooperate
with Buyer's efforts in this regard and provide reasonable assistance in any
transfer or reissuance of a Permit or Environmental Permit held by Seller or the
procurement of any other Permit or Environmental Permit when so requested by
Buyer.
(f) Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any Buyer's or Seller's
Required Regulatory Approval, the Party receiving such approval (the "Receiving
Party") shall notify the other Party in writing if the approval contains any
condition that the Receiving Party determines could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Receiving Party or, in the case of Buyer,
on the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that if the Receiving Party does not
provide such notice to the other Party within the fifteen (15)-day period
specified in this sentence, the Receiving Party shall be deemed to have accepted
such Required Regulatory Approval, including any condition contained therein,
and the condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.2(c), as
applicable to such Party with respect to such Required Regulatory Approval,
shall be deemed satisfied, except to the extent such Required Regulatory
Approval is not then final and non-appealable. Within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of any notice specified in the previous sentence, Seller and Buyer shall
meet to consider what commercially reasonable efforts the Receiving Party
intends to take in order to obtain the Required Regulatory Approval or to
eliminate the materially adverse conditions. After the Receiving Party has
completed such agreed upon commercially reasonable efforts with respect to the
materially adverse condition contained in such Required Regulatory Approval,
within fifteen (15) days of such completion, the Receiving Party shall notify
the other Party if the materially adverse condition has been eliminated or
204
<PAGE>
remains in effect, and whether the Receiving Party either will accept such
materially adverse condition by a waiver of the applicable Closing condition in
Section 7.1(c) or 7.2(c) with respect to such materially adverse condition or
deem that the applicable Closing condition in Section 7.1(c) or 7.2(c) cannot be
satisfied due to the materially adverse condition in such Required Regulatory
Approval.
6.7 Brokerage Fees and Commissions. Seller and Buyer each represent and
warrant to the other that no broker, finder or other Person is entitled to any
brokerage fees, commissions or finder's fees in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby by reason of any action taken by the Party making such
representation. Seller and Buyer will pay to the other or otherwise discharge,
and will indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against, any and all
claims or liabilities for all brokerage fees, commissions and finder's fees
incurred by reason of any action taken by the indemnifying party.
6.8 Tax Matters.
(a) All transfer and sales Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne equally by Buyer and
Seller. Buyer will file, to the extent required by applicable law, all necessary
Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer or sales
Taxes, and Seller will be entitled to review such returns in advance and, if
required by applicable law, will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns
or other documentation. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer will provide to Seller,
to the extent possible, an appropriate exemption certificate in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, due from each
applicable taxing authority.
(b) With respect to Taxes to be prorated in accordance with Section 3.5 of
this Agreement, Buyer shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required to
be filed after the Closing with respect to the Purchased Assets, if any, and
shall duly and timely pay all such Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns.
Buyer's preparation of any such Tax Returns shall be subject to Seller's
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer shall make
such Tax Returns available for Seller's review and approval no later than twenty
(20) Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return. Not less
than ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return, Seller
shall pay to Buyer the amount shown as due on such Tax Return as determined in
accordance with Section 3.5 of this Agreement or shall notify Buyer of any error
on such return. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any
disagreement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree to any such Tax Return
within five (5) Business Days following Buyer's receipt of notification of an
205
<PAGE>
error from Seller, the Parties shall submit the dispute to the Independent
Accounting Firm in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.8(d).
(c) Buyer and Seller shall provide the other Party with such assistance as
may reasonably be requested by the other Party in connection with the
preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing
authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability
for Taxes, and each will retain and provide the requesting Party with any
records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit or
examination, proceedings or determination. Any information obtained pursuant to
this Section 6.8(c) or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the
sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to
Taxes shall be kept confidential by the Parties hereto.
(d) In the event that a dispute arises between Seller and Buyer as to the
amount of Taxes, or the amount of any allocation of Purchase Price under Section
3.4, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute, and any
amount so agreed upon shall be paid to the appropriate party. If such dispute is
not resolved within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties shall submit the
dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, which resolution
shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, the fees and expenses of the Independent
Accounting Firm in resolving the dispute shall be borne equally by Seller and
Buyer. Any payment required to be made as a result of the resolution of the
dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be made within ten (10) days
after such resolution, together with any interest determined by the Independent
Accounting Firm to be appropriate.
(e) On and after the Closing Date until the maturity or redemption date of
the Pollution Control Bonds which were issued to finance or refinance all or a
portion of the cost of the Pollution Control Facilities:
(i) Except as otherwise permitted in clauses (ii) and (iv) below, Buyer
will not change or permit to be changed the character or nature of the use of
those facilities listed in Schedule 6.8(e) hereto (the "Pollution Control
Facilities") from the manner Seller has used such facilities prior to the sale
of the Purchased Assets, unless such changed use would constitute a use or
purpose of the Pollution Control Facilities (A) permitted under the tax
compliance documents or the non-arbitrage certificates for the Pollution Control
Bonds or (B) for which tax-exempt bonds have been issued pursuant to Treas. Reg.
section 1.103-8(f) or (g) or its successor Income Tax regulations, unless Buyer
has obtained at its own expense an opinion addressed to Seller of nationally
recognized bond counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller ("Bond Counsel") that
such use will not impair (x) the exclusion from gross income of the interest on
any issue of Pollution Control Bonds for Federal income tax purposes or (y) the
206
<PAGE>
deductibility of Seller's payments of interest based on the restrictions in
Section 150(b) of the Code;
(ii) Buyer and any transferee which becomes subject to the provisions of
the foregoing clause (i) by reason of this clause (ii) will not sell or
otherwise transfer any portion of the Pollution Control Facilities unless (A)
the transferee covenants to satisfy the conditions of the foregoing clause (i)
with respect to its ownership and use of the Pollution Control Facilities or (B)
the transfer relates to personal property;
(iii) Buyer will cooperate with Seller and use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to permit Seller to have access to the Pollution Control Facilities at
reasonable times to examine them; and
(iv) The foregoing clause (i) shall not be construed to prevent Buyer (or
any transferee) from maintaining or repairing the Pollution Control Facilities,
ceasing to operate, maintain or repair any element or item of the Pollution
Control Facilities, suspending the operation of the Pollution Control Facilities
on a temporary basis, or from terminating the operation of the Pollution Control
Facilities on a permanent basis and shutting down, retiring, abandoning and/or
decommissioning the Pollution Control Facilities; provided, however, that if the
Pollution Control Facilities, in whole or in part, are dismantled and sold
(including any sale for scrap), and if the operation of the Purchased Assets has
not been terminated, then, to the extent it is possible to do so, the proceeds
of such sale of the Pollution Control Facilities shall within six months from
the date of sale be expended to acquire replacement property to be used for the
same qualifying purpose as the Pollution Control Facilities so sold. Seller
shall notify Buyer when the Pollution Control Bonds have matured or been
redeemed.
6.9 Advice of Changes. Prior to the Closing Date, each Party will promptly
advise the other in writing with respect to any matter arising after execution
of this Agreement which, if existing or occurring at the date of this Agreement,
would have been required to be set forth in this Agreement, including any of the
Schedules hereto. If Seller advises Buyer in writing of any change occurring
after the date of this Agreement but prior to Closing that is material to any
representation, warranty or covenant of Seller under this Agreement, Buyer shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e). If Buyer
fails to exercise its termination right, Seller's written notice under this
Section 6.9 will be deemed to have amended this Agreement, including the
appropriate schedule, or to have qualified the representations and warranties
contained in Article IV. Seller shall be entitled to amend, substitute or
otherwise modify any Seller's Agreement to the extent that such Seller's
Agreement expires by its terms prior to the Closing Date or is terminable
without liability to Buyer on or after the Closing Date, or if the terms and
conditions of such modified Seller's Agreement constituting the Assumed
207
<PAGE>
Liabilities and Obligations are on terms and conditions not less favorable to
Buyer than the original Seller's Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall
relieve Seller or Buyer of any breach of representation, warranty or covenant
under this Agreement existing as of the date hereof or any subsequent date as of
which such representation, warranty or covenant shall have been made.
6.10 Employees.
(a) Buyer will offer employment, effective on the Closing Date, to all
employees of Seller who are covered by the IBEW Collective Bargaining Agreements
and are actively employed as of the Closing Date in positions relating to the
Purchased Assets ("Union Employees").
(b) (i) Buyer will offer employment, effective on the Closing Date, to all
CPS employees whose principal place of employment is located at the Purchased
Assets who are not covered by the IBEW Collective Bargaining Agreements on the
Closing Date, and who provide services in support of CPS, but excluding
employees of Seller's Support Services Business Group, and (ii) Buyer may offer
employment to any other employee of Seller provided that Buyer obtains Seller's
written consent prior to any such offer (collectively, the "Non-Union
Employees"). Subject to its obligations hereunder, Seller retains the right to
transfer any of its employees employed at CPS to any other Seller facility prior
to the Closing Date; provided, however, that key employees critical to the
operations of CPS, as determined by Buyer from time to time, shall be
transferred only with the written consent of the Buyer. Each person who becomes
employed by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.10(a) or (b) shall be referred to herein
as a "Transferred Union Employee" or "Transferred Non-Union Employee",
respectively, and collectively as "Transferred Employees".
(c) All offers of employment made by Buyer to any of Seller's employees
will be made subject to the Parties' satisfaction that an employee is (i)
qualified to perform the duties and responsibilities of their current job
assignment with or without reasonable accommodation (or will be capable of doing
so upon return from authorized leave of absence), and (ii) has the appropriate
nuclear power plant access authorization. All offers of employment shall be made
in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations
(including, without limitation, Section 16-128 of the Illinois Public Utilities
Act) and, with respect to Union Employees, the IBEW Collective Bargaining
Agreements. All such offers of employment will be made in accordance with
Section 16-128 of the Illinois Public Utilities Act and will therefore be at no
less than the wage rates, and substantially equivalent fringe benefits and terms
and conditions of employment that are in effect at the time of transfer of
ownership of the Purchased Assets; and such wage rates and substantially
equivalent fringe benefits and terms and conditions of employment shall continue
for at least 30 months from the time of said transfer of ownership unless the
parties mutually agree to different terms and conditions of employment within
that 30-month period. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in developing a
208
<PAGE>
transition plan (the "Transition Plan") for Union Employees and Non-Union
Employees in accordance with Section 16-128 of the Illinois Public Utilities
Act. Seller shall be responsible for implementing and funding the Transition
Plan for all such Union Employees and Non-Union Employees who are not
Transferred Employees.
(d) Schedule 6.10(d) sets forth the collective bargaining agreements, and
all amendments thereto, to which Seller is a party with the IBEW in connection
with the Purchased Assets ("IBEW Collective Bargaining Agreements"). Unless
specifically provided for herein, all Transferred Union Employees shall retain
their seniority and receive full credit for service with the Seller for
eligibility and vesting purposes with regard to Benefit Plans with Seller
(including service with a Sponsor to the extent credited by Seller) in
connection with entitlement to compensation, vacation, benefits and rights under
the IBEW Collective Bargaining Agreements, and benefits and rights under each
retirement or employee benefit plan or program Buyer is required to maintain for
Transferred Union Employees pursuant to the IBEW Collective Bargaining
Agreements. Buyer agrees to recognize the IBEW as the collective bargaining
agent for the Transferred Union Employees.
(e) As of the Closing Date, all Transferred Employees shall commence
participation in welfare benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates (the
"Replacement Welfare Plans") that will provide benefits or coverage
substantially similar to the benefits or coverage provided to the Transferred
Employees under Seller's plans and programs in effect for the Transferred
Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall (i) waive all
limitations as to pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods with
respect to the Transferred Employees under the Replacement Welfare Plans, other
than, but only to the extent of, limitations or waiting periods that were in
effect with respect to such employees under the welfare benefit plans maintained
by Seller and that have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, and (ii)
provide each Transferred Employee with credit for any co-payments and
deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date during a plan year under Seller's
plan that has not ended as of the Closing Date, in satisfying any deductible or
out-of-pocket requirements under the Replacement Welfare Plans (on a pro-rata
basis in the event of a difference in plan years).
(f) (i) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, in accordance with
Section 16-128 of the Illinois Public Utilities Act, cause to be established
defined benefit pension plans, 401(k) plans, post-retirement medical and life
insurance, and other welfare benefit plans and fringe benefit plans for the
benefit of the Transferred Employees (the "Buyer Benefit Plans"). The Buyer
Benefit Plans shall have substantially the same terms as Seller's defined
benefit plans, 401(k) plans, post-retirement medical and life insurance, and
other welfare benefit plans and fringe benefit plans (the "Seller Benefit
209
<PAGE>
Plans") as of the Closing Date provided that no improvements are made after the
date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date.
(ii) The Transferred Employees shall be given credit in the Buyer Benefit
Plans for all service with Seller as if it were service with Buyer for purposes
of determining eligibility for and vesting of benefits under the Buyer Benefit
Plans.
(iii) Effective as of the Closing Date, Transferred Employees shall cease
to actively participate in all Seller Benefit Plans.
(iv) Following the Closing Date:
(A) Transferred Employees' accrued benefits under Seller's defined benefit
pension plans shall be frozen and shall not be increased as the result of any
service completed or any compensation received for employment with the Buyer
after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, and only for
purposes of determining vesting and eligibility for early retirement subsidies
under the Seller's defined benefit retirement plans, Seller shall recognize the
Transferred Employees' employment with the Buyer after the Closing Date as if
such employment was with the Seller. Transferred Employees shall have a right to
commence benefits in accordance with Seller's defined benefit plans; provided,
however, any subsidies reflecting employment described in this subparagraph
shall be paid only if the Transferred Employee terminates employment with the
Buyer.
(B) Transferred Employees who, on or before the Closing Date, have
satisfied the eligibility requirements for post-retirement health benefits
and/or life insurance benefits under the plans maintained by the Seller shall
remain eligible for post-retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of such
plans. With respect to these Transferred Employees, Seller shall recognize
employment with the Buyer after the Closing Date for purposes of determining the
amount of such post-retirement benefits and the eligibility for commencement of
such post-retirement benefits.
(C) With respect to Transferred Employees who attain age 50 on or before
the Closing Date, Seller shall recognize employment with the Buyer after the
Closing Date for purposes of determining eligibility for post-retirement health
and life insurance benefits under the post-retirement benefit plans maintained
by the Seller. With respect to these Transferred Employees, Seller shall also
recognize employment with the Buyer after the Closing Date for purposes of
determining the amount of such post-retirement benefits and the eligibility for
commencement of such post-retirement benefits.
210
<PAGE>
(D) Buyer shall provide Seller with information regarding the employment
status of Transferred Employees no less often than annually. Such data shall be
sufficient to enable Seller to implement the provisions of this Section 6.10.
(E) Nothing in this Section 6.10(f) shall limit Seller's ability to amend
Seller's Benefit Plans after the Closing Date.
(g) To the extent allowable by law, and subject to Seller obtaining written
agreement from the IBEW, Seller shall cause to be transferred assets
representing the account balance of all Transferred Employees under the
qualified defined contribution plans maintained by the Seller (the "Seller's
Savings Plans"). In implementing this Section 6.10(g):
(i) The transfer shall be made as soon as practicable following the Closing
Date, in cash and cash equivalents, and shall be made to Buyer's tax-qualified
401(k) plans in which Transferred Employees participate after the Closing Date.
(ii) Buyer agrees that the assets so transferred may include promissory
notes evidencing loans from the Seller's Savings Plans to Transferred Employees
that are outstanding as of the transfer date. However, except as provided in
Section 6.10(d), any defined contribution plan of Buyer or its Affiliates
accepting such a transfer shall not be required to make any further loans to
Transferred Employees after the Closing Date.
(iii) Buyer agrees that the assets so transferred may include shares of
common stock of Seller or its Affiliates representing Transferred Employees'
investment in such stock as of the Closing Date. Buyer agrees to maintain the
availability to Transferred Employees of an investment in such stock for a
period of at least 30 months from the Closing Date. During such period, no
additional shares of such stock will be purchased either pursuant to employee or
employer contributions to the plan or pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends.
However, Transferred Employees may transfer assets out of such stock fund
pursuant to rules established under Buyer's tax-qualified 401(k) plan.
(h) Buyer shall establish severance plans ("Buyer's Severance Plans") which
will provide (i) benefits to Transferred Union Employees no greater than those
benefits provided to Seller's Union Employees pursuant to the "Utility
Agreement" dated May 9, 1997, and (ii) benefits to Transferred Non-Union
Employees no greater than those benefits provided to Seller's Non-Union
Employees pursuant to the "Illinova Severance Policy for Nonunion Salaried
Employees" dated January 1, 1997. Seller shall reimburse Buyer, on no less than
an annual basis, for the actual severance payments made to any Transferred
Employee who is eligible for a benefit under Buyer's Severance Plans and who is
terminated for reasons other than for cause or disability during the period
211
<PAGE>
beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary thereof;
provided, however, that if more than 25% of the total number of Transferred
Employees are so terminated during such two-year period, Seller's liability
shall be limited to the actual severance payments made to the first 25% of the
total number of Transferred Employees who are so terminated.
(i) Seller shall be responsible, with respect to the Purchased Assets, for
performing and discharging all requirements to be performed by Seller up to the
Closing Date as set forth under the WARN Act and under applicable state and
local laws and regulations.
(j) Seller is responsible for extending COBRA continuation coverage to all
employees and former employees at CPS, and qualified beneficiaries of such
employees and former employees, who become or became entitled to such COBRA
continuation coverage on or before the Closing Date by reason of the occurrence
of a qualifying event on or before the Closing Date, including those for whom
the Closing Date occurs during their COBRA election period. Buyer shall be
responsible for providing COBRA continuation coverage only to Transferred
Employees and qualified beneficiaries of such employees who become entitled to
such COBRA continuation coverage on or after the Closing Date by reason of the
occurrence of a qualifying event after the Closing Date.
(k) Seller shall remain responsible for paying Transferred Employees: (i)
all salary and wages, and a pro rata portion of any bonuses and/or incentive
compensation that were earned for time worked for Seller prior to the Closing
Date; and (ii) all workers' compensation, disability benefits, or other
insurance benefits that were accrued or for which entitlement to payment is
based upon events occurring prior to the Closing Date, including any incurred
but unreported claims under employee benefit plans maintained by Seller. Seller
shall pay to Buyer as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but no
later than the 45th day, the cash equivalent for all accrued and unused vacation
time for Transferred Employees which has accrued as of the Closing Date.
(l) Individuals who are otherwise "Union Employees" or "Non-Union
Employees" but who are not actively at work on the Closing Date due to a leave
of absence covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act, or due to any other
authorized leave of absence, shall nevertheless be treated as "Union Employees"
or as "Non-Union Employees," as the case may be, on such date if they are able
(i) to return to work within the protected period under the Family Medical Leave
Act or such other leave time, whichever is applicable, and (ii) to perform the
essential functions of their job, with or without a reasonable accommodation.
212
<PAGE>
(m) All Transferred Employee Records shall be delivered promptly after the
Closing Date to Buyer.
6.11 Risk of Loss.
(a) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Buyer shall not bear any
risk of loss or damage to the property included in the Purchased Assets except
to the extent arising out of or resulting from a material breach by PECO under
Section 6.2 of the Management Agreement or directly resulting from conduct of a
PECO employee that constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence; provided,
however, that conduct of non-Peco employees shall not be imputed to PECO for
purposes of this Agreement. Seller shall replace or repair any damage to the
Purchased Assets in accordance with Good Utility Practices, except as otherwise
provided in the following sentence or in paragraphs (b) or (c) below.
(b) If, before the Closing Date all or any portion of the Purchased Assets
are taken by eminent domain or are the subject of a pending or (to the Knowledge
of Seller) contemplated taking which has not been consummated, Seller shall
notify Buyer promptly in writing of such fact. If such taking would create a
Material Adverse Effect, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to
settle the loss resulting from such taking (including, without limitation, by
making a fair and equitable adjustment to the Purchase Price) and, upon such
settlement, consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement. If no such settlement is reached within sixty
(60) days after Seller has notified Buyer of such taking, then Buyer or Seller
may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(g).
(c) If, before the Closing Date all or any portion of the Purchased Assets
are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall notify Buyer
promptly in writing of such fact. If such damage or destruction would create a
Material Adverse Effect and Seller has not notified Buyer of its intention to
cure such damage or destruction within fifteen (15) days after its occurrence,
Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to settle the loss resulting from
such casualty (including, without limitation, by making a fair and equitable
adjustment to the Purchase Price) and, upon such settlement, consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. If no such settlement is reached within sixty (60) days after Seller
has notified Buyer of such casualty, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.1(g).

and at all times thereafter, subject to the terms of the Interim Agreement and
the Management Agreement, Seller will pay all Spent Nuclear Fuel Fees and any
other fees associated with electricity generated at CPS and sold prior to the
Closing Date, and Buyer shall have no liability or responsibility therefor.
Buyer shall pay and discharge all fees and expenses associated with the nuclear
fuel consumed in CPS and sold from and after the Closing Date, including Spent
Nuclear Fuel Fees, calculated based upon electricity generated from such
consumed nuclear fuel, as provided in Department of Energy regulations, and
Seller shall have no liability or responsibility therefor. Buyer shall assume
title to and responsibility for the storage and disposal of the spent nuclear
fuel at the Site as of the Closing Date. Subject to Seller's rights to recover
its investment in the Private Fuel Storage L.L.C. facility in Utah, Seller shall
assign to Buyer the Department of Energy Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent
Fuel and/or High Level Waste and shall provide the required notice to the
Department of Energy within ninety (90) days of transfer of title to spent fuel.
6.14 Department of Energy Decontamination and Decommissioning Fees. Seller
will continue to pay all Department of Energy Decontamination and
220
<PAGE>
Decommissioning Fees relating to nuclear fuel purchased and consumed at CPS
prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, all annual Special
Assessment invoices to be issued after the Closing Date by the Department of
Energy, as contemplated by its regulations at 10 C.F.R. Part 766 implementing
Sections 1801, 1802 and 1803 of the Atomic Energy Act, relating to such nuclear
fuel purchased and consumed prior to the Closing Date.
6.15 Cooperation Relating to Insurance and Price-Anderson Act. Until the
Closing, Seller will maintain in effect the same level of property damage and
liability insurance for the Facilities as in effect on the date hereof,
including, without limitation, those insurance policies described in Schedule
4.9 (unless substitute policies are obtained under Section 6.1). Buyer shall
obtain prior to or on the Closing Date nuclear insurance and other insurance
policies in accordance with Schedule 6.15 or as otherwise required by law.
Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer's efforts to obtain insurance,
including insurance required under the Price-Anderson Act or other Nuclear Laws
with respect to the Purchased Assets. In addition, Seller agrees to use
reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in making any claims against pre-Closing
insurance policies of Seller that may provide coverage related to Assumed
Liabilities and Obligations. Buyer agrees that it will indemnify Seller for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance and
cooperation.
6.16 Tax Clearance Certificates. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and use
their best efforts to cause the tax clearance certificates described in Schedule
4.20 of this Agreement to be issued by the appropriate taxing authorities prior
to the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter.
6.17 Remediation. Buyer has previously completed its Phase I and Phase II
environmental site assessments at the Site and has identified those
Environmental Conditions at the Site set forth on Schedule 6.17. Buyer will not
conduct any additional environmental site assessments unless Buyer becomes aware
of any Environmental Condition at the Site that is reasonably likely to give
rise to an Environmental Claim or Remediation activity that would result in a
liability or obligation in excess of $250,000 or unless otherwise required by
law. Buyer agrees to share with Seller all reports, analyses, and other
documents produced or prepared by Buyer, its Affiliates or Buyer's environmental
consultants with respect to Buyer's environmental due diligence at the Site.
Seller hereby agrees to perform the type and scope of Remediation set forth on
Schedule 6.17 in accordance with applicable Environmental Law. Seller shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete any such Remediation work prior to
the Closing Date to the extent such Remediation work is capable of being
performed prior to the Closing Date. With respect to any Remediation work, or
portion thereof, which reasonably cannot be completed prior to the Closing Date,
Seller may elect to complete such work or permit Buyer to complete such
Remediation and Seller shall indemnify Buyer for all reasonable costs thereof.
However, Seller shall not be required to perform or indemnify Buyer for any
Remediation (1) which is required as a result of any use of or operations at the
Site other than such use and operations as they existed on or prior to the
Closing Date (including, without limitation, any improvement or expansion of the
current operations or other construction, demolition or excavation activities at
the Site), or (2) which arises from acts of Buyer or its employees, agents or
221
<PAGE>
independent contractors after the Closing Date. To the extent allowed under
Environmental Law, the Remediation measures under this Section 6.17 may include
reasonable land use controls, as appropriate, to the extent that such controls
do not unreasonably interfere with the use or operation of the Purchased Assets
after the Closing Date. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller
shall have exclusive authority over the performance of the Remediation set forth
on Schedule 6.17, and except as otherwise required by Environmental Law, Buyer
shall not initiate or permit any communication, orally or in writing, with any
Governmental Authority regarding such Remediation without the prior written
consent of Seller. With respect to any Remediation to be performed by Seller
after the Closing Date, Buyer will grant to Seller and its contractors an
appropriate license to enter the Site at reasonable times and perform the
Remediation work, provided that Seller and its contractors shall comply with all
rules and regulations of Buyer and any Governmental Authority with respect to
the Site and shall not unreasonably interfere with the operations of Buyer at
the Site.
6.18 NRC License Transfer Requirements. Buyer will accept conditions in an
NRC license transfer order that approves transfer of the CPS license to Buyer
that are reasonable, appropriate and similar in scope to the requirements
imposed on Buyer by that certain NRC Order Approving Transfer of License and
Conforming Amendment, and the associated Safety Evaluation Report, dated April
12, 1999, with respect to the transfer of the NRC license for the Three Mile
Island Unit 1 nuclear plant from GPU Nuclear, Inc. to Buyer.
6.19 Metering. The Parties have heretofore engaged a consultant (the
"Metering Consultant") to examine the Facilities and related infrastructure for
the purpose of providing two estimates for the cost of acquiring and installing
"Revenue Grade Metering" (as defined in Amendment No. 3 to the Management
Agreement) at the metering points and in accordance with the proposal set forth
in Amendment No. 3 to the Management Agreement, with one (1) estimate being the
cost of acquiring and installing Revenue Grade Metering on the "low side" of the
main power transformer located in the CPS switchyard (the "Low Side Estimate")
and the other estimate being the cost of acquiring and installing Revenue Grade
Metering on the "high side" of the main power transformer located in the CPS
switchyard (the "High Side Estimate"). The Parties agree to share equally the
fees and expenses of the Metering Consultant and to install Revenue Grade
Metering on the "high side" of the main power transformer as proposed in the
High Side Estimate. Buyer and Seller shall share equally all acquisition and
installation costs equal to the Low Side Estimate; Seller agrees to pay the next

6.20 Right to Participate in Electric Generating Projects.
(a) For a period of ten (10) years following the Closing Date (the
"Restricted Period"), Buyer hereby grants to Seller (i) the first right and
option to participate with Buyer equally in any non-CPS electric generating
facilities or projects to be constructed or developed at the Site for the
generation of electric energy to be transmitted to customers or users off-Site
(each, a "Generating Project") and (ii) a right of first refusal to provide any
transmission services with respect to any Generating Project. For purposes of
determining what constitutes equal participation in a Generating Project, the
value of any land, facilities or other property contributed by Buyer to the
Generating Project which were included in the Purchased Assets shall be deemed
to be zero. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing if during the
Restricted Period Buyer decides to proceed with a Generating Project or enters
into discussions with a third party concerning a Generating Project (including,
without limitation, financial costs and projections). Within ninety (90) days
following receipt of written notice from Buyer, Seller shall notify Buyer
whether or not it desires to participate in the Generating Project; provided,
however, if Seller requires more information concerning the Generating Project
and such information is reasonably available to or can be reasonably generated
by Buyer in order to evaluate participation in the Project, then Seller shall
request such information in writing, and Seller shall have until the later of
(i) thirty (30) days following receipt of such additional information, or (ii)
expiration of the original ninety (90) day period to notify Buyer whether it
desires to participate in the Generating Project. Buyer shall notify Seller at
least five (5) Business Days in advance of any meetings with third parties
concerning the Generating Project which are to be held either during any of
Seller's evaluation periods or after Seller has notified Buyer of its intent to
participate in the Generating Project, and Seller shall have the right to
participate in any such meetings. Following Seller's notification of Buyer that
Seller intends to participate in a Generating Project, Seller and Buyer shall
promptly document their joint participation, seek to obtain all necessary
approvals by Governmental Authorities and agree on schedule, budget and
management responsibilities for the Generating Project. Seller's participation
in any Generating Project may be through Seller or any of its Affiliates, and
all instruments or agreements documenting the Generating Project (and the
Parties' respective rights and obligations with respect to the Project) shall be
reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller.
(b) (i) Subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (ii) of this
Section 6.20(b), Buyer agrees that during the Restricted Period, it will not
sell, transfer, lease or license to a third party any of the Real Property
transferred to Buyer hereunder or enter into any discussions with respect
thereto (a "Transfer") without first offering such Real Property to Seller. In
the event Buyer decides to Transfer any such Real Property, Buyer will promptly
notify Seller of such fact, and Seller shall have the exclusive right to
223
<PAGE>
negotiate with Buyer concerning the Transfer of such Real Property for a period
of sixty (60) days (the "Exclusive Negotiation Period"). If Buyer and Seller are
unable to agree on the terms of the Transfer of such Real Property to Seller
during the Exclusive Negotiation Period, or in the event Seller notifies Buyer
in writing that it does not desire to Transfer such Real Property prior to
expiration of the Exclusive Negotiation Period, Buyer may offer such Real
Property to third parties. If Buyer thereafter receives an offer from a third
party with respect to such Real Property (a "Third Party Offer"), Buyer shall
promptly notify Seller in writing (setting forth the terms and condition of the
Third Party Offer) and Seller shall have the right and option (exercisable by
delivery of written notice to Buyer within the thirty (30) day period following
Seller's receipt of written notice of the Third Party Offer) to buy or lease
such Real Property on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party
Offer. If Seller does not notify Buyer that it desires to buy or lease such Real
Property within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer may Transfer such Real
Property to the third party (but only upon the terms and conditions set forth in
the Third Party Offer) within one hundred eighty (180) days following the
earlier of Seller's notification that it does not desire to buy or lease such
Real Property or expiration of the thirty (30) day period. If Buyer fails to
Transfer such Real Property to the third party within such one hundred eighty
(180) day period, such Real Property shall again be subject to the terms and
condition of this Section 6.20. The covenants of Buyer set forth in this Section
6.20(b) shall be covenants running with the land and shall be included in and/or
recorded with the special warranty deed with respect to the Real Property to be
delivered to Buyer at Closing.
(ii) The requirements of Section 6.20(b)(i) shall not apply to any of the
following Transfers during the Restricted Period:
(A) Any Transfer to an Affiliate of Buyer which agrees in the Transfer
documents for the benefit of Seller to be bound in the same manner and degree as
Buyer to the provisions of this Section 6.20;
(B) Any lease respecting the Real Property existing at the time of Closing
and constituting a portion of the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations, but no
extensions or modifications thereof unless such extensions or modifications
specifically contain for the benefit of Seller restrictive covenants consistent
with this Section 6.20; or
(C) Any Transfer of the Real Property to a third party in an arms-length
transaction in which the buyer or lessee agrees not to use, directly or
indirectly, such Real Property during the Restricted Period for the
construction, operation, or use of any electric generating facility or equipment
that produces, individually or in the aggregate, more than 1MW of electricity
for consumption by customers or users off-Site.

6.22 Personal Property Insurance. Buyer (on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates) agrees to (i) request its insurers to include Seller's Transmission
Assets, Excluded Other Assets, and other items of tangible personal property
owned by Seller at the Site under Buyer's insurance policies after the Closing
Date and to name Seller as an additional insured thereunder, and (ii) waive any
right of recovery against Seller for "accidental property damage" (as defined in
the NEIL policies); provided, however, that Buyer shall provide Seller with
quotes from its insurers regarding any incremental premium or other costs
related to including Seller's assets under such policies, including, without
limitation, any deductible, retention or similar costs, and Buyer shall obtain
Seller's approval before incurring any such incremental premiums or other costs
on Seller's behalf.

their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and agents (each,
a "Seller Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, demands, suits,
losses, liabilities, damages, obligations, payments, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of any and all actions,
suits, proceedings, assessments, judgments, settlements and compromises relating
thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable disbursements in
connection therewith) (each, an "Indemnifiable Loss"), asserted against or
suffered by any Seller Indemnitee relating to, resulting from or arising out of
(i) any breach by Buyer of any representations, warranties or covenants
contained in this Agreement, (ii) the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations, (iii)
any Inspection, or the use by Buyer of the non-exclusive license granted under
Section 2.1(l), (iv) any Third Party Claims against a Seller Indemnitee arising
out of or in connection with Buyer's ownership or operation of CPS and other
Purchased Assets on or after the Closing Date, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(b) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its officers,
directors, members, employees, shareholders, Affiliates and agents (each, a
"Buyer Indemnitee") from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses asserted
against or suffered by any Buyer Indemnitee relating to, resulting from or
arising out of (i) any breach by Seller of any representations, warranties or
covenants contained in this Agreement, (ii) the Excluded Liabilities, (iii)
noncompliance by Seller with any bulk sales or transfer laws as provided in
Section 10.11, (iv) any Third Party Claims against a Buyer Indemnitee arising
out of or in connection with Seller's ownership or operation of the Purchased
Assets on or prior to the Closing Date, except for Assumed Liabilities and
Obligations, (v) any Third Party Claims against a Buyer Indemnitee arising out
of or in connection with Seller's ownership or operation of the Excluded Assets,
(vi) all Taxes incurred by reason of any act of Seller that either constitutes
230
<PAGE>
an act of "self-dealing" as defined in Treas. Reg. section 1.468A-5(b)(2) or
results in the disqualification of the Qualified Decommissioning Fund under
Treas. Reg. section 1.468A-5 (except as otherwise contemplated by Section 6.12),
or (vii) any claims or attachments of Seller or any creditor of Seller against
the Decommissioning Funds after the Closing Date.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(i) Any Person entitled to receive indemnification under this Agreement (an
"Indemnitee") shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate all losses,
damages, and the like relating to a claim under these indemnification
provisions, including availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of
contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity.
The Indemnitee's Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall include the reasonable
expenditure of money to mitigate or otherwise reduce or eliminate any loss or
expenses for which indemnification would otherwise be due, and the Indemnitee
shall advise Indemnitor promptly of such expenditure (or provide Indemnitor with
the opportunity to pay such expenditures directly). The Indemnitor shall

undertaking the mitigation (together with interest thereon from the date of
payment thereof to the date of repayment at the "prime rate" as published in The

insurance or other proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee or any of its
Affiliates with respect to the Indemnifiable Loss, and (ii) Income Tax benefits
to the Indemnitee to the extent realized by the Indemnitee, but such net amount
shall be increased to give effect to the Income Taxes attributable to the
receipt of any indemnification payment hereunder. Any Party seeking
indemnification hereunder shall use best efforts to make claims (including both
cost of defense and indemnity) under applicable insurance policies with respect
to any such Indemnifiable Loss.

(d) The expiration or termination of any representation or warranty shall
not affect the Parties' obligations under this Section 8.1 if the Indemnitee
231
<PAGE>
provided the Person required to provide indemnification under this Agreement
(the "Indemnifying Party") with proper notice of the claim or event for which
indemnification is sought prior to such expiration, termination or
extinguishment.
(e) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article IX, the rights and
remedies of Seller and Buyer under this Article VIII are exclusive and in lieu
of any and all other rights and remedies which Seller and Buyer may have under
this Agreement or otherwise for monetary relief, with respect to (i) any breach
of or failure to perform any covenant, agreement, or representation or warranty
set forth in this Agreement, after the occurrence of the Closing, or (ii) the
Assumed Liabilities and Obligations or the Excluded Liabilities, as the case may
be. The indemnification obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article
VIII apply only to matters arising out of this Agreement, excluding the
Ancillary Agreements. Any Indemnifiable Loss arising under or pursuant to an
Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by the indemnification obligations, if
any, contained in the Ancillary Agreement under which the Indemnifiable Loss
arises.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Party (including an
Indemnitee) shall be entitled to recover from the other Party (including an
Indemnifying Party) for any liabilities, damages, obligations, payments, losses,
costs or expenses under this Agreement any amount in excess of the actual
compensatory damages, court costs and reasonable attorney's and other advisor
fees suffered by such Party. Buyer and Seller waive any right to recover
punitive, incidental, special, exemplary and consequential damages arising in
connection with or with respect to this Agreement. The provisions of this
Section 8.1(f) shall not apply to indemnification for a Third Party Claim.
8.2 Defense of Claims.
(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of
the commencement of any claim, action or proceeding made or brought by any
Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or any Affiliate of a Party to this
Agreement (a "Third Party Claim") with respect to which indemnification is to be
sought from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying
Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event such notice
shall not be given later than twenty (20) calendar days after the Indemnitee's
receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim. Such notice shall describe the
nature of the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the
estimated amount, if practicable, of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may
be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to
participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, to elect to
assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party's expense
and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel, provided that the counsel for the
Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall cooperate in
232
<PAGE>
good faith in such defense at such Indemnitee's own expense. If an Indemnifying
Party elects not to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee
may compromise or settle such Third Party Claim over the objection of the
Indemnifying Party, which settlement or compromise shall conclusively establish
the Indemnifying Party's liability pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) (i) If, within twenty (20) calendar days after an Indemnitee provides
written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claims, the
Indemnitee receives written notice from the Indemnifying Party that such
Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim
as provided in Section 8.2(a) , the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for
any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with
the defense thereof; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party shall
fail to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party
Claim within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving notice from the
Indemnitee that the Indemnitee believes the Indemnifying Party has failed to
take such steps, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense and the Indemnifying
Party shall be liable for all reasonable expenses thereof.
(ii) Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying
Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim which would
lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the
Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading
to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of
the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer,
the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnitee to that
effect. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within twenty (20)
calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be
relieved of its obligations to defend such Third Party Claim and the Indemnitee
may contest or defend such Third Party Claim. In such event, the maximum
liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim will be the
amount of such settlement offer plus reasonable costs and expenses paid or
incurred by Indemnitee up to the date of such notice.
(c) Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which
does not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by
giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, stating
the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated
amount, if practicable, but in any event such notice shall not be given later
than twenty (20) calendar days after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct
Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall have a period of twenty (20) calendar
days within which to respond to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party
does not respond within such twenty (20) calendar day period, the Indemnifying
233
<PAGE>
Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim. If the Indemnifying Party
rejects such claim, the Indemnitee will be free to seek enforcement of its right
to indemnification under this Agreement.
(d) If the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss, at any time subsequent to the
making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery,
settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant
to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by, from or against any other
entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums
incurred in connection therewith (together with interest thereon from the date
of payment thereof to the date or repayment at the "prime rate" as published in
The Wall Street Journal) shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the
Indemnifying Party.
(e) A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Section 8.2 shall
not affect the rights or obligations of any Party hereunder except if, and only
to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Party which was entitled to
receive such notice was actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
8.3 Waiver and Release. To the extent any right, cause of action, or claim
hereunder constitutes Assumed Liabilities and Obligations, and subject to any
indemnification rights of Buyer under Section 8.1(b), the Buyer waives,
relinquishes and forgives, effective as of the Closing Date, any statutory or
common law rights that otherwise would relate to such right, cause of action or
claim, including, without limitation, CERLCA.

terminated by Buyer if (i) any of Buyer's Required Regulatory Approvals, the
receipt of which is a condition to Closing as set forth in Section 7.1(c), shall

initially denied without prejudice shall also have been denied) or shall have
been granted but such Approval contains conditions (other than the conditions

a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations or condition

receipt of the IRS rulings or opinions of counsel, which is a condition to
Closing as set forth in Section 7.2(l), shall not have been satisfied or waived
by Seller on or before May 30, 2000.
(e) This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer if there has been a violation
or breach by Seller of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement which has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect and such
violation or breach is not cured by the earlier of the Closing Date or the date
thirty (30) days after receipt by Seller of written notice specifying
particularly such violation or breach, and such violation or breach has not been
waived by Buyer.
(f) This Agreement may be terminated by Seller if there has been a material
violation or breach by Buyer of any covenant, representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement and such violation or breach is not cured by the
earlier of the Closing Date or the date thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer
of written notice specifying particularly such violation or breach, and such
violation or breach has not been waived by Seller.
235

other by reason of this Agreement.

10.5 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by either Party
hereto, including by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the
other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, nor is this Agreement
intended to confer upon any other Person except the Parties hereto any rights,
interests, obligations or remedies hereunder. No provision of this Agreement
shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or former
employee of Seller (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) in respect
of continued employment or resumed employment, and no provision of this
Agreement shall create any rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits
that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee benefit plan or
arrangement except as expressly provided for thereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, but subject to all applicable legal requirements, and provided it
does not materially adversely affect any regulatory approvals required under
this Agreement, (a) Buyer or its permitted assignee may assign, transfer, pledge
or otherwise dispose of (absolutely or as security) its rights and interests
hereunder to a trustee, lending institution or other party for the purposes of
leasing, financing or refinancing the Purchased Assets, including such an
assignment, transfer or other disposition upon or pursuant to the exercise of
remedies with respect to such leasing, financing or refinancing, or by way of
assignments, transfers, pledges, or other dispositions in lieu thereof, (b)
Buyer or its permitted assignee may assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise
dispose of (absolutely or as security) its rights and interests hereunder to a

238
<PAGE>
assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of its rights and interests to
cause Seller to perform in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12 hereof
in connection with any subsequent disposition by Buyer of the Purchased Assets;
provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve or discharge Buyer from
any of its obligations hereunder. Seller agrees, at Buyer's expense, to execute
and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish any such
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of rights and interests
hereunder so long as Seller's rights under this Agreement are not thereby
altered, amended, diminished or otherwise impaired.
10.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law of the State of Illinois (without giving effect to
conflict of law principles) as to all matters, including, without limitation,

HERETO AGREE THAT VENUE IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO THE
