(CALPINE) and to execute the appropriate documents to complete the amendment (EUD) MEETING DATE: September 4, 2002 PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend the existing contract between the City of Lodi (City) and Calpine Energy Services, L.P. (CALPINE) and to execute the appropriate documents to complete the amendment. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently, the City receives power under a CALPINE contract for 25 MW on a 24-hour basis for the period January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011. This contract was entered into during the middle of last year's energy crisis. Current conditions in the energy and financial markets provide an opportunity to lower existing power supply costs by amending the existing contract to terminate future energy deliveries associated with the contract. The Electric Utility Department will then pursue other power supply option purchases that will be shaped to the City's power supply requirements more closely, at a lower cost to the City. The goals of the restructuring as presented during a recent City Council Shirtsleeve meeting are as follows: • Reduce the level of counter party risk associated with the existing contract • Shape the City's resource portfolio to more closely follow load growth • Shape bulk power costs to more closely match load/revenue growth • Accelerate growth of cash reserves • Maintain regional advantages in terms of rates The proposed contract amendment provides an opportunity to lower overall power costs by reducing what the City would have paid to CALPINE. The possible savings range from 15% to 20% on a net present value basis. Equally important, amending the contract to eliminate future energy deliveries will reduce the risk of a failure of CALPINE to provide power. At the time the contract was entered into, CALPINE had a substantially better credit rating and financial condition than it's present condition. In order to mitigate this risk, terminating energy deliveries under the CALPINE contract is necessary. Termination of energy deliveries under the existing contract entails, essentially, two steps. The first step would be amending the existing CALPINE contract by buying the value of the contract out based on a mutually agreed upon value between CALPINE and the City. The value is equal to the difference in the value of the contract and the current market price of energy over the contract term. The second step requires the City to fund the agreed upon energy delivery termination cost with an appropriate bond financing. This resolution is intended to implement the amendment of the existing contract and set in motion the financing of the agreed upon value of the energy delivery termination. APPROVED: 'FrDix Flynn - Ci Manager Upon execution, the City will substantially lower its monthly bulk power costs. The most significant savings will occur during the first three years. Total expected present value savings are expected to be up to $10,000,000. Final elements of the contract amendment are being negotiated presently and are expected to be finalized by the time of the City Council meeting. A copy of the contract amendment will be available for review at the earliest possible time. The entire team working on this transaction will be present to answer questions.

Such right, title and interest of the City in and to the Energy shall be fully vested in Calpine on and as of the Effective Date. The sale, assignment and transfer by the City of its right, title and interest in and to the Energy is made without recourse and no warranties, either express or implied, as to the availability of the Energy or otherwise is made by the City in connection with such sale, assignment and transfer other than the City represents and warrants that it has taken no action which would encumber its title to the Energy, or the rights and obligations related thereto or the proceeds thereof, or otherwise create a lien on, or security or other interest in, the Energy, or the rights and obligations related thereto or the proceeds thereof, or which would in any way prevent or impair the City's ability to make such sale, assignment or transfer. Section 2.01. Purchase Price of Energy. In consideration of the sale, assignment and transfer of all of the City's right, title and interest in and to the Energy, Calpine agrees to pay $34.96 per MWh based on the scheduled amount of Energy to be made available to the City pursuant to the Original Agreement.

The obligation of the City to pay the Installment Payments is, subject to Section 7.01 of this Part III, absolute and unconditional, and until such time as the Installment Payments shall have been paid in full (or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof to the extent applicable), the City will not discontinue or suspend any Installment Payments required to be paid by it under this Section when due for any reason, including without limitation the reasons set forth in Section 4.01 of this Part III, and such Installment Payments shall not be subject to reduction whether by offset, abatement or otherwise and shall not be conditioned upon the performance or nonperformance by any Party to the Agreement, or any Party to any other agreement or arrangement with respect to the City or its property or operations, including without limitation the Electric System or its operations, or for any other reason or cause whatsoever. Section 3.02. Prepayments. The City shall have the right at any time or from time to time from any available funds to prepay all or any part of the Installment Payments at the applicable Prepayment Price.

In the event any such lien attaches to or is filed against any portion of the Electric System, the City will cause each such lien to be fully discharged and released at the time the performance of any obligation secured by any such lien matures or becomes due, except that if the City desires to contest any such lien it may do so if contesting such lien will not impair operation of the Electric System. If any such lien shall be reduced to final judgment and such judgment or any process as may be issued for the enforcement thereof is not promptly stayed, or if so stayed and such stay thereafter expires, the City will forthwith pay or cause to be paid and discharged such judgment. Section 4.03. Sale or Other Disposition of Electric System. The City will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the works, plant, properties, facilities or other part or rights of the Electric System or any real or personal property comprising a part of the Electric System if such sale, transfer or disposition would adversely affect the City's ability to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.09 of this Part III. -10- DOCSLA1:427901.1 Section 4.04.

Section 4.06. Accounting Records; Financial Statements and Other Reports.

The City will pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges which may hereafter be lawfully imposed upon the Electric System or any part thereof when the same shall become due. The City will duly observe and conform with all valid regulations and requirements of any governmental authority relative to the operation of the Electric System or any part thereof, but the City shall not be required to comply with any regulations or requirements so long as the validity or application thereof shall be contested in good faith and contesting such validity or application will not materially impair the operations or financial condition of the Electric System, will not result in the imposition of a lien on the Electric System in violation of Section 4.02 of this Part III and will not impair the City's ability to make the Installment Payments as and when due. Section 4.09. Amount of Rates and Charges. The City will at all times fix, prescribe and collect rates and charges for the services, facilities and electricity of the Electric System during each Fiscal Year which will be at least sufficient to yield Revenues for such Fiscal Year at least equal to the sum of the following for such Fiscal Year: (i) Maintenance and Operation Costs; (ii) the Installment Payments, (iii) all other payments required to meet any other obligations of the City which are charges, liens or encumbrances upon or payable from the Revenues, and (iv) reasonable and prudent reserves for maintenance, capital expenditures and customers' delinquencies or failures to pay. The City may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the rates and charges then in effect unless the Revenues from such reduced rates and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of this Section. Section 4.10. Collection of Rates and Charges. The City will have in effect at all times rules and regulations requiring each consumer or customer located on any premises connected with the Electric System to pay the rates and charges applicable to the Electric Service provided to such premises and providing for the billing thereof and for a due date and a delinquency date for each bill.

Nothing herein shall prevent the City, in its sole and exclusive discretion, from permitting other Parties from selling electricity to retail customers within the service area of the Electric System; provided, however, that permitting such sales shall not relieve the City of its obligations hereunder. Section 4.11. Eminent Domain and Insurance Proceeds. If all or any part of the Electric System shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings, or if the City receives any insurance proceeds resulting from a casualty loss to the Electric System, the net proceeds thereof, at the option of the City, shall be applied either to the ratable prepayment of obligations payable from the Net Revenues or shall be used to repair, restore or substitute other components for the condemned, damaged or destroyed components of the Electric System.

If one or more of the following Events of Default shall happen and be continuing, that is to say: (a) if default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of any Installment Payment when and as the same shall become due and payable; (b) if default shall be made by the City in the performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained herein required to be performed by it under this Part III, other than as set forth in (a) above, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after the City shall have been given notice in writing of such default by Calpine; or (c) if the City shall file a petition or answer seeking arrangement or reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America or any state therein, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition filed with or without the consent of the City seeking arrangement or reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America or any state therein, or if under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the City or of the whole or any substantial part of its property; -13- DOCSLA I :427901.1 then and in each and every such case, automatically and without the necessity of notice from Calpine or any other person during the continuance of such Event of Default specified in clause (c) above, or upon notice in writing from Calpine to the City with respect to any other such Event of Default, all unpaid Installment Payments shall become due and payable immediately in an amount equal to the Default Price as of the date of payment of the Default Price, anything contained in this Part III to the contrary notwithstanding. This Section is subject to the condition, however, that if at any time after the unpaid Principal Installments (in an amount equal to aforementioned Default Price) shall have become due and payable pursuant to this Section, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been obtained or entered, the City shall deposit with Calpine a sum sufficient to pay the unpaid amount of the Installment Payments due otherwise then as a result of such declaration, and the City shall have paid the reasonable expenses of Calpine resulting from such declaration, and any and all other defaults known to Calpine (other than in the payment of the unpaid Installment Payments in an amount equal to the aforementioned Prepayment Price) due and payable solely by reason of the acceleration of such Installment Payments pursuant to this Sections) shall have been made good or cured to the satisfaction of Calpine or provision deemed by Calpine to be adequate shall have been made therefor, then and in every such case Calpine, by written notice to the City, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon. Section 5.02. Other Remedies. Calpine shall also have the right: (a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce its rights against the City or any officer or employee thereof, and to compel the City or any such officer or employee to perform and carry out its or his or her duties under the law and the agreements and covenants required to be performed by it or him or her contained in this Part III; (b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the rights of Calpine; or (c) by suit in equity upon the happening of an Event of Default to require the City and its officers and employees to account as the trustee of an express trust. Section 5.03. Non -Waiver. Nothing in this Article or in any other provision of this Part III shall affect or impair the obligation of the City, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Installment Payments from the Net Revenues to Calpine at the respective due dates or upon acceleration or prepayment, or shall affect or impair the right of Calpine, which is also absolute and unconditional, to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in this Part III. -14- DOCSLA1:427901.1 A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by Calpine shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach of duty or contract. No delay or omission by Calpine to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any default or breach of duty or contract shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or breach of duty or contract or an acquiescence therein, and every right or remedy conferred upon Calpine by law or by this article may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by Calpine. If any action, proceeding or suit to enforce any right or exercise any remedy is abandoned or determined adversely to Calpine, the City and Calpine shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such action, proceeding or suit had not been brought or taken. Section 5.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Calpine is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by law. Section 5.05. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. To the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 7.01 of this Part 1I1, the City hereby waives and agrees not to assert any immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, with respect to itself and its assets, the Electric System or the Revenues, from suit, jurisdiction of any court otherwise having jurisdiction, relief by way of mandamus, specific performance, injunction or recovery of damages, or execution or enforcement of any judgment hereunder. ARTICLE VI DISCHARGE OF OBLIGATIONS Section 6.01. Discharge of Obligations. (a) If the City shall indefeasibly pay or cause to be paid all the Installment Payments at the times and in the manner provided herein, the right, title and interest of Calpine or any assignee of Calpine permitted hereunder in and to this Part III and the obligations of the City under this Part III shall cease, terminate, become void and be completely discharged and satisfied; provided, however, that if any such payment or payments are rescinded or must otherwise by returned by Calpine or its successors or assignees as a result of any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution of the City or any other person, the City's obligations under this Part III shall be reinstated as if such payment or payments had not been made.

Upon any such transfer and assignment references to Calpine in this Part III shall be construed for all purposes of this Part III to be references to the transferee and assignee of such rights. Section 7.04. Benefits of Contracts Limited to Parties. Nothing contained in this Part III, expressed or implied, is intended to give to any person other than the City and Calpine, and their respective successors and any assignee pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02 of Part I of the Agreement, any right, remedy or claim under or pursuant thereto, and any agreement or covenant required herein to be performed by or on behalf of the City or Calpine shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the other Party and such permitted successors and assignees. Section 7.05. Successor Is Deemed Included in all References to Predecessor. Whenever either Calpine or the City is named or referred to herein, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor to the powers, duties and functions that are presently vested in Calpine or the City, and all agreements and covenants required hereby to be performed by or on behalf of Calpine or the City shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors thereof whether so expressed or not.

If any one or more of the agreements or covenants or portions thereof required hereby to be performed by or on the part of Calpine or the City under this Part III shall be contrary to law, then such agreement or agreements, such covenant or covenants or such portions thereof shall be null and void and shall be deemed separable from the remaining agreements and covenants or portions of this Part III and shall in no way affect the validity hereof. Calpine and the City hereby declare that they would have executed this Part III, and each and every other article, section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, clause and phrase of this Part III irrespective of the fact that any one or more articles, sections, paragraphs, subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases hereof or the application thereof to any person or circumstance may be held to be unconstitutional, unenforceable or invalid.
