1 October 2000 Confidential & Proprietary Sales Points Gleason Overview

2 Gleason Overview Overview Sales Points This slide provides a high level overview of the key facts pertaining to the Gleason Plant The Gleason Plant uses 3 Westinghouse F Technology Gas Turbines currently configured for simple cycle operations The Gleason Plant’s location was selected because it could interconnect directly to the interstate gas pipeline grid through ANR and the TVA 500 kV power grid The Facility became commercially operational in June of 2000

3 Facility Strengths Sales Point
Gleason Overview Facility Strengths Sales Point The Facilitys should maintain first mover advantage because of the time required to obtain an interconnect agreement for new build projects within TVA As previously stated, Gleason’s strategic position on both gas and power grids, coupled with the plant’s quick start capabilities, should enable the successful bidder to capitalize on gas versus power arbitrage opportunities on a real time basis. This arbitrage opportunity could be further enhanced through future conversion to combined cycle. SERC has estimated load growth within region projected to average approximately 3% per year over the next 3 years

6 Power Market Opportunities Sales Points
Gleason Overview Power Market Opportunities Sales Points The Gleason Plants strategic location on the gas and power grids provides exceptional reach and access to most of the Eastern interconnect within two utility wheels.

7 Equipment Overview Sales Points
Gleason Overview Equipment Overview Sales Points The Gleason plant utilizes only Westinghouse F Technology gas turbines. The FD model gas turbines incorporate the new Westinghouse G series compressor. All the gas turbines have commonality of turbine parts and control systems. The (2) FD’s seasonal performance stays essentially constant through all temperature ranges due to the upgraded G type compressor. The switchyard is a highly reliable four breaker ring bus configuration. All transformers and high voltage switch gear were provided by ABB and are rated to handle turbine output across all operational temperature ranges. Plant distribution voltages of both 4160 and 480 volts provide enhanced reliability because the Gleason Plant can serve in-house loads either through back-feed power from the TVA 500 kV interconnect, or, if transformer or switchyard maintenance is occurring, through a 480 Volt connection to the local retail provider.

10 Power Interconnection Sales Points
Gleason Overview Power Interconnection Sales Points During the interconnect negotiations, TVA determined that the addition of the Gleason plant to its system would require an upgrade to its Shelby substation. Gleason Power I, LLC, the owner of the Gleason plant agreed to pay TVA the upgrade cost. The payment schedule for the Shelby upgrade is included in the due diligence files. Gleason Power I will be reimbursed for the upgrade costs by receiving transmission credits from TVA in the amount of the upgrade An increase in transmission use, including that associated with a combined cycle conversion, would accelerate the recoupment of upgrade costs. In the event that the Gleason plant does not utilize all of its transmission credits by December 31, 2009, TVA will refund the remaining balance, to Gleason Power I, LLC.

11 Gleason Gas Sales Points
Gleason Overview Gleason Gas Sales Points $0.11 is 10% of ANR tariff Max. Rate for ITS-3 transport service Balancing charge is approx. 7% of the ANR tariff Max Rate Rates for both transport and balancing are locked in for 10 years, with no contract price re-openers As more gas-fired generation comes on to the system. More likely to see upwards versus downward transport rate pressure - makes these contracts potentially more valuable No minimum volume commitment No exclusivity Can buy delivered to plant producer from other market participants There are 3 mainlines near plant, with the plant interconnected to two of the lines, this provides some backup redundancy Option to buy firm 80,000 MMBtu/day from Chicago for backhaul purposes, which is good till June 1, 2001 or 45 days after written notice received stating that ANR’s Supply Link project received final approved and is moving forward
