I. PROJECT SUMMARY:
The project proposes the construction of six (6) 3-story, 46,800 GSF garden style apartment
buildings each containing thirty-six (36) units for a total of 216 apartment units. The property is
currently unaddressed and was subject to Minor Subdivision Application SB-18-01 which
divided the original 25-acre parcel into a southern 10-acre parcel and a northern 15-acre parcel,
the latter of which is the Site subject to this Site Development Plan Application. Final Plan
Approval for SB-18-01 was granted in a Letter of February 13, 2020 and Recorded. This
adjacent parcel at 747 North DuPont Highway was most recently subject to Site Development
Master Plan Application S-19-03 to permit phased construction of a retail center to consist of
four buildings totaling 62,260 SF in three phases. By February 2021, Final Plan Approval of the
Master Plan was achieved and initial site preparations for infrastructure were started
II. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN SUMMARY:
The Site Development Plan as submitted by the applicant for the Apartment Complex notes
several Active Recreation features, as well as providing a calculation for the square footage of
said Active Recreation Areas on site. This information is provided to show how the Site Plan
submitted is achieving the aims set out in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 10: Open
space, recreation, and other public facilities. Due to the property size and unit density, this
project does not qualify for any of the Active Recreation Area exemptions for small
developments under Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10.5.
The Active Recreation Area is required at a rate of 275 SF per unit or a half acre (21,780 SF),
whichever is greater. With this project of two hundred and sixteen (216) units, the Active
Recreation Area requirement calculates to 59,400 SF which is greater than the half-acre (21,780
SF).
The Active Recreation Areas proposed are shown on the overall Site Plan, and the calculations
therefrom provided on the Cover Sheet (C-001). The notes of the original Plan submission
identify a “Clubhouse Block” with an area of 33,566 SF near the center of the complex. Revised
information submitted by the Applicant (as provided in the Formal Request for the Cash-in-Lieu)
has since updated this figure to be 34,111 SF. This “Block” includes the Clubhouse with pool, a
Sport Court, Playground, and several interior features like a Media Room and Pool Table. There is
additionally a Dog Park shown at the center of the site which is noted as 3,900 SF in area;
however, this conflicts with the 5,110 SF noted in the Notes Section. There are additionally no
features of the Dog Park shown other than it appears to be fenced in. Finally, the Notes include a
calculation for the Shared Use Path, which runs along the Leipsic Road frontage; however,
Planning Staff notes that this is not a feature eligible for consideration towards the Active
Recreation Area calculation as sidewalk is already a requirement along this frontage.
As the Site Plan is refined, the sized of the recreation areas and amenities may be revised. The
Planning Office will continue to track amounts provided and area of deficit. The following table
provides information from the submitted Plan ( as of June 8, 2022) for the Active Recreation Area
as proposed:

Accessible The Plans appear to show no dedicated handicapped
parking, nor ADA-compliant access to the Clubhouse or
facilities. No curb cuts or ramps shown on sidewalks or
near street crossings. Sidewalk connections internal to the
site are somewhat limited, and there are no drive-aisle
crossings (marked pavement) identified.
The Applicant has noted they will continue to look at the
connectivity and accessibility of the internal sidewalk
system. The Plan design will be update to include
handicapped parking, crosswalks, and ramp locations.
Age Oriented to development Activities appear varied for both adults and children with
the Clubhouse and Pool being available, as well as a
Playground, Dog Park, and Basketball/ Sport Court.
Parking There is no dedicated parking at the Clubhouse Block area;
however there is parking nearby. It is centrally located and
within close proximity/ walking distance to the bulk of the
proposed development.
Setbacks: 30 feet from residential Distances from Active Recreation Facilities to lot lines are
lots and 25 feet from right-of-way not provided, but do appear to be compliant.
for street
Landscaping The Site requires 218 trees to be planted, yet the Plans
submitted identify only 145 being proposed. The site
otherwise shows a mix of landscaping throughout and
includes a 10-foot landscape buffer along all property lines.
The Applicant has indicated they intend to provide the
required trees.
III. CONSIDERATION OF CASH-IN-LIEU
The applicant has noted on their Site Plans that there is a difference in what is required by Code
to be provided to meet the needs for Active Recreation Area and what is actually provided.
Planning Staff however, has determined the deficiency to be even greater than that claimed by
5

the Applicant. As such, the Applicant will need to either revise the Plans to reflect compliance
with Code, or otherwise submit a formal request to seek to pay Cash-in-lieu of Construction for
the remaining Recreation Area. If the Planning Commission determines that the construction of
some or all of the required Active Recreation Area is not practical or desirable, then they shall
require a full or partial Cash-in-Lieu donation for the portion of the Active Recreation Area
determined as not practical or desirable. The applicant would be required to make a cash
donation to the City’s Parkland Reserve Fund in lieu of the required Recreation Area.
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10 addresses Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities
outlines the calculation of the amount for cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction. For the
calculation of the amount of the cash donation, the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10.173 Amount
of cash donation specifies that the “cash donation shall be equivalent to the appraised value of
land area required…” and that land area value shall be “based on the appraisal prepared for the
developer to secure construction financing.”
The Applicant has made a Request for Partial Cash in Lieu Fee for the deficit in Active
Recreation Facilities (See Letter of June 8, 2022). The applicant has not submitted the Appraisal
Documents. Upon submission of the Appraisal, Planning staff will calculate the fee and summit
for review.
IV. REVIEW PROCESS
The Planning Office has prepared this Active Recreation Area Report outlining the Recreation
Area proposal and noting the insufficient facilities proposed and the need for either Plan revision
to address this, or for Formal Request to make a Cash-in-lieu donation. The Parks, Recreation
and Community Enhancement Committee will need to consider the proposed Active Recreation
Area and make a recommendation. The Planning Commission must act to accept the Recreation
Area Plan and the Cash-in-lieu donation as part of its review of the Site Development Plan. If the
amount of the Cash-in-Lieu payment cannot be calculated, then this will require future review.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee will review the Recreation Area
Plan and Request for Consideration for the Cash-in-lieu for Dover Apartments on Leipsic Road
at their meeting on June 14, 2022. The Planning Commission Public Hearing and Review of the
Site Development Plan S-22-09 and the Recreation Area Plan Request for Consideration of
Cash-in-lieu is scheduled for June 21, 2022.
V. CODE CITATIONS:

10.11 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that active recreation areas are
provided as an integral design element within residential developments and that such facilities are
of an adequate scale in relation to the size of the residential development and which provide
residents with a variety of active recreational pursuits.
10.12 Dedication required. The commission shall require the dedication or reservation of
recreation areas, and the subsequent construction of recreation facilities of a character, extent
and location suitable to the needs created by a development for recreation facilities as defined
and in accordance with the design guidelines set forth.
10.13 Definition. The following are illustrative of the types of recreation areas and subsequent
facilities that shall be deemed to serve active recreational needs and therefore to count toward
satisfaction of the recreation area requirements of this section: tennis courts, handball courts,
racquetball courts, swimming pools, saunas and exercise rooms, meeting or activity rooms within
clubhouses, baseball and soccer fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, swings, slides and
play apparatus, and developed walking, jogging or biking trails.
10.14 Recreation area review….
10.15 Design guidelines…
10.16 Area required. All residential developments shall provide recreational areas in a size
equal to 275 square feet per dwelling unit or one-half acre of land, whichever is greater. In no
case shall the commission require that more than ten percent of the gross area of the
development be so dedicated or reserved when the gross area is greater than five acres.
10.17 Cash in lieu of recreation area construction.
10.171 Determination of suitability for cash donation. If the commission determines that
the construction of recreation is not practical due to close proximity to existing available
recreation facilities or infeasible due to natural characteristics of the land or will not
benefit the residents of the development, the commission shall require a full or partial
cash in lieu of areas of donation to be made by the developer in lieu of a full or partial
dedication of land.
10.172 Separate recreation account. The cash donation shall be deposited in a
separate account to be used for parks, playgrounds or recreational purposes.
10.173 Amount of cash donation. The cash donation shall be equivalent to the
appraised value of land area required in section 10.16. The land area value shall be
based on the appraisal prepared for the developer to secure construction financing. This
submitted appraisal shall be a copy of the original supplied to the lending institution, with
that institution identified, and shall conform in all ways to the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal practice and be performed by an appropriately qualified certified
appraiser. If an appraisal prepared for construction financing is not available, then the
developer shall have an appraisal done in accordance with the procedures set forth in
[sub]section 10.174.
10.174 Appeal of appraised value. If the city does not accept the land value established
by the appraisal detailed in [sub]section 10.173, the city may, at the developer's expense,
require another appraisal be performed. This appraisal will be let on a bid basis between
at least three appropriately qualified, certified appraisers selected by the city. The
appraiser(s) who prepared the original appraisal in [sub]section 10.173 cannot be a party
to this appeal appraisal.
10.175 Payment of cash donation. One hundred percent cash donation provided under
this section shall be collected prior to issuing the first building permit for the development.

dedication, or cash donations provided under this section must be submitted to, and approved by the
parks, recreation, and community enhancement committee of the City of Dover, and shall be subject to
final review and approval by [the] city council.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Planning Office following
review of the Active Recreation Area Plan and Request for Consideration of Cash-in-lieu.
1) Cash-in-Lieu/Area Deficiency: The proposed plan presents two (2) areas as Active
Recreation Area – the “Clubhouse Block” and the Dog Park. With 216 units proposed the
total required Active Recreation Area is 59,400 SF and what is proposed is an area of
38,111 SF, a deficit of 21,389 SF (0.5 ac).
a. The Applicant has submitted a Cash-in-Lieu Request, noting that they will
provide the required fee upon its determination. The Applicant has indicated that
they intend to provide increased Active Recreation Area but are unlikely to meet the
minimum area requirements of 59,400 SF given site limitations.
b. Planning Staff will calculate the Cash in Lieu Fee once the Applicant is able to
provide the Appraisal documented with the appraised value of the property.
c. Planning Staff supports the concept for a Partial Cash-in-Lieu Fee. Staff notes that the
Property is constrained by Site considerations such as parking, tree planting and
landscaping, and stormwater management facilities. The Site also is subject to the
SWPOZ (Stormwater Protection Overlay Zone Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area),
which has added impervious Lot Coverage restrictions. A portion of the Site is also
designed as a connecting access drive to an adjoining commercial property.
Despite this, the Applicant has done much to provide a variety of Recreational Areas.
They are proposing both indoor (Fitness Gym, Media Room) and outdoor (Pool,
Sport Court, Fire Pit, Car Wash Station, and Dog Park) Recreation Areas. The
Applicant has additionally indicated that they will continue to explore ways to add
other Active Recreation features and have expressed a willingness to actively engage
with Planning Staff on addressing any concerns.
2) Active Recreation Area: As a residential development, there is a requirement for Active
Recreation area(s). The project proposes a Clubhouse with Pool, Sport Court, Playground,
Car Wash Station, Fire Pit and additional recreation features interior to the building. There is
also a Dog Park with unknown amenities. The Plan needs to clarify the specific handicapped
access to the Clubhouse. The Site Plan overall is showing poor pedestrian connectivity
among the various buildings, amenities, and across the drive-aisles and the parking lot areas,
though the Applicant has indicated their intent to address this. The Site overall also appears
to be largely fenced-in but it is not clear how this may impact the ability if the Site to
improve connectivity with both Leipsic Road, as well as the commercial properties to the
west. There are twenty-two (22) bicycle parking spaces identified in the Site Plan Notes,
however only one (1) Bicycle Rack is clearly shown on the Plans noting space for five (5)
bicycles. The location of the other bicycle parking facilities is uncertain.
Additional design information and amenities are necessary to clarify these site improvements
to serve a development of this size (216 apartment units). Planning staff is encouraged by the
8

Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – June 14, 2022
Page 7 of 8
variety of on-site recreation opportunities proposed for the residents.
Staff Recommends the following regarding this Recreation Area:
a. Clubhouse / Pool: Further design information of the Active Recreation Areas at the
Clubhouse and Pool are needed. A floor plan has been provided identifying features
of the Clubhouse. The Plans should be revised to show these facilities being fully
handicap accessible and ADA compliant sidewalks. Pedestrian access overall should
also be improved, by ensuring that there are linkages to sidewalks, and that pedestrian
crossings at drive-aisles are both sufficient in number and clearly marked.
The Plans should also make better use of some of the empty space around the
building by noting features such as grills, benches, and picnic tables, ensuring at least
some of these features are again accessible. Finally, parking should be made available
specific to the Clubhouse. If it is determined that there is insufficient area to provide
additional parking in the immediate vicinity, some of the parking areas of the adjacent
Apartment Building should be made available at least for handicap parking.
b. Dog Park: The size of the Dog Park should be clarified as two different figures were
provided within the Plan set. Additionally, features within the Dog Park itself should
be identified. It appears that a fence is proposed around the perimeter, but there
should be landscaping as well as benches and dog waste stations with appropriate
facilities for disposal thereof.
c. Playground: Plans submitted show that there are features proposed for an area
identified as the playground, but further information should be provided as to what
specific playground amenities are proposed. It should also be noted what material is
intended for the ground cover.
d. Sport Court: The Sport Court appears to show features indicating use as a Basketball
Court (Basketball Rim and striping), as well as a Pickelball Court. This Court would
seem to offer sufficient options for residents.
e. Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking should be located at every one of the Apartment
Buildings as well as outside of the Clubhouse/Pool area. If any Bike Parking facilities
are proposed internal to the buildings, then the Plans should note as such.
f. Pedestrian Connectivity: Staff notes that the sidewalk system could easily be
extended in several locations to increase pedestrian connectivity to the overall
development. There is only one sidewalk along the south side of the connecting drive
linking the proposed Apartment Buildings to the Commercial Property; there is a
drive aisle that runs along the west side of the property connecting to Leipsic Road.
There is a wide shared-use path proposed along the Leipsic Road frontage which
appears largely cut off by the development with a fence.
i. Evaluate the placement of additional pedestrian access points from the
Apartments to the shared-use path.
ii. A sidewalk should be added to the north side of the connecting drive.
g. Pedestrian Facilities Internal to the Site: The layout of the proposed sidewalks

S-22-09: Dover Apartments at Leipsic Road Active Recreation Area Review and Consideration of Cash-in-Lieu

internal to the site appear disjointed and there is poor connectivity. No pedestrian
marked crossings of any drive aisles or parking lot areas are shown. The Plans should
be revised to show a system of pedestrian linkages between all Apartment Buildings,
parking areas, parking garages, and to the Clubhouse Area. Plans should clearly
indicate where pedestrians may safely cross drive aisles and parking lot areas.
VII. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) The Site Development Plan set including any floor plans depicting the Recreational Area in
the Clubhouse are to include appropriate improvements, plans, and details of the Recreation
Area as approved.
2) When a Cash-in-lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction payment amount is determined
and agreed upon, it shall be submitted to the Planning Office prior to the issuance of the
Building Permit for the first Apartment Building. The Cash-in-lieu donation will be
deposited in the City’s Parkland Reserve Fund account.
3) There shall be provisions which ensure that the community space (all areas under
consideration for Active Recreation Areas) shall continue as such and be properly managed
and maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for
maintenance of the common use areas or provide for and establish one (1) or more
organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common space i.e. a Homeowners
Association. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on
the community space.
4) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan
contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of buildings, relocation of site
components, changes in floor area or unit count, or design revisions impacting Active
Recreation Areas. These changes may require resubmission for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the plan.
5) The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the
Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Recreation Area Plan
and Request for Consideration of Cash-in-Lieu.

Re: Dover Apartments at Leipsic Road, S-22-09
Active Recreation Requirements Cash-in-Lieu Request
Tax Parcel No. 2-05-06805-01-1501-00001
City of Dover, Kent County, DE
Dear Ms. Melson-Williams:
Verdantas LLC is hereby submitting a request for consideration for partial cash-in-lieu for
the Active Recreation Requirement for the Dover Apartments at Leipsic Road project
on behalf of the developer, Metropolitan Group.
The apartment property is 15.00 +/- acres with 3.28 acres being subject to the SWPOZ
(Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area requirements.
The proposed construction is for six (6) 3-story, 46,800 SF garden style apartment
buildings each containing thirty-six (36) units for a total of 216 apartment units.
Additionally, eleven (11) garage buildings, a Clubhouse with a pool and recreation
facilities, parking, and a dog park are being proposed.
Per the City of Dover Code, the active recreation requirement for this project is 275 SF of
area per unit. This equates to 59,400 SF for this site. The plan currently proposes two
areas to contribute to the active recreation requirements: a dog park (3,900 SF) and a
clubhouse block (34,111 SF). The current proposed totals 38,011 SF, meaning the site has
a deficit of 21,389 SF to meet the requirements.
In the active recreation areas that have been provided, the plan proposes to provide a
variety of spaces for activities. In the clubhouse block a car wash station, playground,
half sports court, pool, and firepit area are being provided. Within the clubhouse itself
there is also a fitness center, dog wash station, pool table, and golf simulator.
There are several site constraints for this project limiting space for additional active
recreation areas. The 3.28 acres in the SWPOZ are limited to no more than 60%
impervious cover, so development in this area is being limited on what can be placed
in that area. Additionally, the seasonal high-water table is high, which limits the

infiltration capabilities and necessitates the footprints of the stormwater management
facilities to be larger.
As it has been discussed above, a variety of unique active recreation improvements
have been proposed on this site. Due to limitations, a cash-in-lieu fee is being requested
for the remaining requirement. An appraisal has not been conducted on the property.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments about the
above items. We appreciate your review of this project and consideration of the cash-
in lieu request.

ACTION FORM
PROCEEDING: Council Committee of the Whole – Utility Committee
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Electric DATE SUBMITTED: April 29, 2022
PREPARED BY: Paul Waddell, Electric Director
SUBJECT: Award of Van Sant Operation and Maintenance Contract (2022-2027)
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
REVIEWED BY: Dave Hugg, City Manager; Lori Peddicord, Controller
EXHIBITS: Exhibit #1 - Van Sant RFP O & M Response (TEA); Exhibit #2 - Second Amended and Restated
Operation & Maintenance Agreement between the City of Dover and NAES Corporation
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Approx. $5,137,200 over 6 years, averaging $856,200 per year
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $1,754,000 annually (all O & M for Van Sant operations)
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget):
TIMETABLE: Institute upon Council Approval
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approving the terms of the contract between the City and NAES.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
NAES has been the current operator of Dover’s two generating stations, McKee Run and Van Sant. They operated both
generating stations since 2006. Its operating and maintenance agreement has been amended and renewed two times and it
expired on September 30, 2021. Dover’s generation, which now totals 42 MW due to the retirement of Unit 3 at McKee,
requires a qualified operator through May 31, 2027, which is the estimated retirement date of the unit at Van Sant.
The Energy Authority (TEA), Dover’s energy management company, in conjunction with City of Dover personnel drafted
and advertised a Request for Proposal (RFP) to potential operations & maintenance companies to manage the unit through
2027. In April of 2021, the RFP was published and there were five (5) companies that expressed interest. In May 2021
only three (3) of the companies submitted responses and in June 2021 two companies were notified they had been “short
listed” which resulted in a Q & A with those two companies. NAES and NRG were the two companies shortlisted and
evaluated as potential candidates for the award.
TEA compiled the pertinent data related to the proposal submissions and the clarifications from the Q & A sessions. This
document outlines the requirements of the awarded company and their costs to supply those requirements, such as Fixed
vs Variable, Other, Communications Link and Mobilization costs. It was the decision of TEA after careful evaluation to
recommend the selection of NAES to continue the operation of the Van Sant unit. This is based on NAES offering the
lowest cost and providing the lowest operational and transitional risk for the City of Dover. Members of the Resource
Management Committee (RMC), consisting of the Interim City Manager, Controller, Electric Director and TEA Client
Service Manager, concurred with the recommendation, and entered contract negotiations with NAES.
The finalized version of the O & M Agreement has been provided and has been vetted by City leadership, Energy
Attorney, and NAES personnel. This agreement will provide for staffing, maintenance, and operational support of the
Van Sant unit through 2027.

as NAES would undertake for its own assets or operations or for services provided to an Affiliate.
“Gross negligence” will not be construed as simple or ordinary negligence, it being the intent of

ARTICLE III - RESPONSIBILITIES OF NAES
NAES will perform the Services listed in Appendix A, in order to operate and maintain the Facility
on behalf of Owner. This Article III sets forth the processes, limitations and standards applicable
to NAES’s performance of the Services.
3.1 Operational Phase. During the Operational Phase, NAES will have day-to-day
operational control over the Facility and will perform the Operational Phase Services.
3.2 Procurement.
3.2.1 General. Subject to a Budget and Plan, NAES will procure goods,
services, consumables, parts, tools, and equipment as needed from time to time for the operation
and maintenance of the Facility consistent with the Administrative Manual Procurement, “AMP
501”, as amended and updated. NAES will nominate, subject to Owner’s written approval,
responsible Persons from among the Site Personnel to sign purchase orders on behalf of Owner;
provided, however, that such purchase orders will be signed in the name of Owner and will be
for the exclusive benefit of Owner and the Facility. NAES will negotiate with vendors from
standard terms and conditions that are set forth in the Administrative Procedures Manual, including
reasonable warranties in favor of Owner. NAES will utilize AMP 501 purchasing procedures
except when (i) the cost of conducting a competitive bidding process is likely to outweigh the
potential savings it would produce; (ii) the goods, consumables, parts, tools, and equipment are
not available from more than one vendor; (iii) purchases are required to respond to an
Emergency; or (iv) such other purchasing procedures are likely to result in a price as low or
lower than that resulting from competitive bidding. NAES shall consult with Owner, provide a
complete explanation and rationale, and disclose all aspects of the transaction whenever in its
opinion exceptions (i), (ii), or (iii) apply. NAES may contract with one or more subcontractors to
perform any part, but not all, of the Services, but any such subcontract shall not relieve NAES of
any of its obligations under this Agreement or create any relationship between Owner or the
subcontractor.
3.2.2 Non-Budgeted Items. NAES will not exceed the overall total spending
approved in a Budget without prior written approval from Owner; provided, however, that
subject to Section 3.13 hereof, no such approval by Owner is required if, in NAES’s reasonable
judgment, such purchases are required to address an Emergency.
3.2.3 Extraordinary Items. Notwithstanding that a purchase is contemplated by
a Budget, NAES will obtain Owner’s written approval prior to procurement of any Extraordinary
Item. Owner may elect to directly procure Extraordinary Items.
3.2.4 Contract Administration. NAES will administer routine vendor relations
under purchase orders and contracts for service issued by NAES on behalf of Owner. NAES will
also perform those day-to-day operational tasks required under the Facility Agreements, as
9 47
Page 48
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
requested by Owner, including communicating fuel supply requirements and reporting power sales
in accordance with Owner’s written specifications. NAES will not be deemed to have assumed
any of Owner’s contractual obligations under the Facility Agreements by means of such
performance.
3.2.5 Affiliate Contracts. If NAES intends to issue a purchase order to an
Affiliate of NAES, the costs of which are Operating Costs, the terms of any such purchase
order will be in accordance with normal commercial practice, at arm’s length on such terms as
would be appropriate if the purchase order had been entered into with a Person other than an
Affiliate of NAES. All such purchase orders are subject to disclosure and prior written approval
by Owner.
3.3 Waste Management. In accordance with Applicable Law and subject to Section
3.15 hereof, NAES will collect, store and manage on the Site all wastes (including Hazardous
Materials) generated by the operation and maintenance of the Facility. NAES will coordinate
with third party waste transportation and disposal providers for the removal of wastes from the
Site by such third parties for disposal.
3.4 Rated Capacity. NAES will use its reasonable efforts to operate the Facility at its
Rated Capacity without unnecessarily decreasing its useful life or increasing the scheduled
maintenance of the Facility, unless otherwise directed by Owner or constrained by Prudent
Operating and Maintenance Practices, scheduled maintenance, insufficient fuel, restrictions of
operating Permits, a Force Majeure event, a Budget and Plan, or the limitations or condition of
the Facility (as degraded from time to time). In discharging its obligations under this Section
3.4, NAES will operate the Facility so as to comply with any applicable dispatch instructions of
the PJM or Owner (or any successor of either, or other Person identified by Owner in writing to
NAES as being authorized to provide dispatch instructions). In a situation not involving an
Emergency, in the event NAES receives conflicting dispatch instructions, NAES will follow the
dispatch instructions of Owner; provided, however, in the event of an Emergency, NAES will
follow the instructions of PJM. NAES will inform Owner of any Emergency action as soon as
reasonably practicable under the circumstances. NAES will give Owner prompt notice of
any inability to make deliveries of power or capacity, and of any outages. In case of any
interruption, curtailment or reduction in (i) supplies of fuel, or (ii) acceptance of energy or capacity
by PJM, or in case of any other constraint being imposed on NAES, NAES will promptly upon
such event or upon receipt of notice thereof, notify Owner thereof and of its plan to restore
operation and of any plan by the counter-party (where a Facility Agreement is involved) to
do so (if NAES has been notified thereof), and will upon removal of the constraint, use its
reasonable efforts to restore full Facility operation in accordance with this Section 3.4.
3.5 Standards for Performance of the Services. NAES will perform the Services in all
material respects in accordance with the following documents, which will be referred to in this
Agreement as “Standards of Performance”: (i) the O&M Manuals, (ii) the contractor,
manufacturer and vendor warranties and Facility Manuals provided by Owner to NAES, (iii) the
applicable Budget and Plan, (iv) all Applicable Laws, (v) Prudent Operating and Maintenance
Practices, (vi) insurer requirements delivered to NAES by Owner in writing, (vii) the requirements
in the Facility Agreements (as and to the extent provided to NAES) in accordance with Section 3.8
10 48
Page 49
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
and (viii) this Agreement. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, NAES will perform
the Services and other obligations under this Agreement in a manner consistent with Owner’s
directions. Actions taken (or not taken) by NAES pursuant to Owner’s direction will be deemed
to be within the Standards of Performance, and NAES will have no liability for acting or refraining
to act in accordance with Owner’s directions.
3.6 Personnel Matters.
3.6.1 General. NAES will provide and make available as necessary, in accordance
with the requirements of the Budget and Plan, all labor and professional, supervisory and
managerial personnel required to perform the Services. Such personnel will be qualified for the
duties to which they are assigned. All individuals employed by NAES in the performance of the
obligations under this Agreement and who are permanently assigned to the Facility (the “Site
Personnel”)and “Home Office Personnel” will be employees of NAES or its Affiliates, and their
working hours, rates of compensation and all other matters relating to their employment will be
determined solely by NAES (subject to Owner's approval rights with respect to the Budget and
with respect to certain Site Personnel as provided in Sections 3.6.2 and 3.6.3). NAES will
retain sole authority, control, and responsibility with respect to its employment policy and its
employees. No City employee is included in the Site Personnel. NAES will submit for Owner's
approval the staffing requirements for the Facility.
3.6.2 Selection of Plant Manager. NAES will submit its selection for Plant
Manager to Owner, who will have written approval over NAES's selection of such person.
3.6.3 Replacement of Plant Manager. NAES will inform Owner of its intent to
replace the Plant Manager. Prior to employment of the replacement Plant Manager, NAES will
obtain Owner’s written approval.
3.6.4 Recognition of Union. If an official labor organization represents
the Site Personnel, NAES shall recognize and enter into good faith negotiations with it, taking
into account the cost that staffing and operating the Facility has on overall utility rates.
3.6.5 Negotiation of a Collective Bargaining Agreement. NAES shall be
responsible for the labor agreement, including any extension and/or modification to the existing
agreement; however, if any such negotiation results in a contingent or ongoing liability to the
City upon termination of NAES for any reason including expiration of this Agreement, such
obligation will be disclosed to and approved by the Owner prior to acceptance by NAES.
3.7 Inventory. NAES will be responsible for proper maintenance, control and
storage of the inventory located at the Facility on the Takeover Date, and of all subsequently
procured inventory throughout the Term, and will be responsible, subject to Section 3.2, for
purchasing such additional inventory as NAES may determine to be necessary or appropriate from
time to time. NAES is authorized to receive and store materials and supplies on behalf of Owner
that Owner directly purchased.

the Facility Agreements as delivered to NAES and will otherwise cooperate in good faith with and
assist Owner in complying with all material terms contained in such Facility Agreements, in each
case to the extent related to the performance of the Services. NAES will incorporate any
requirements contained in Facility Agreements, as needed, into the Administrative Procedures
Manual. This Section 3.8 will not be deemed to make NAES a party to the Facility Agreements
or to impose any obligations on NAES under the Facility Agreements. NAES will not be charged
with knowledge of the form or content of any Facility Agreement unless and until it has been
provided to NAES by Owner.

will, within thirty (30) days of receipt, submit written comments thereon to Owner, and thereafter
the Parties will negotiate a final disposition of such proposal. The O&M Manuals will remain in
effect for the Term, subject to such revision, amendment or supplementation as may be either (i)
required to ensure continued compliance with Applicable Laws or the Standards of Performance,
or (ii) agreed in writing by the Parties. NAES will draft, certify and comply with a Spill Prevention,
Control, and Countermeasures Plan that is specific to the Facility.
3.15 Incorporated Services. The Services shall be deemed to include supplementary
matters either practical or essential to the efficient execution of the Services, whether those

other PJM system rules relating to the offering of the Facility into the PJM markets. NAES
further agrees that its performance of its obligations under this Agreement will comply in all
material aspects with these rules, and to exercise the degree of diligence required by Prudent
Operating and Maintenance Practices to assure that any data or information provided to the Owner
or the Energy Manager as to Facility availability, capacity and operating conditions are accurate
at the time made based upon the best information available and the analysis of such information.
NAES further agrees to: (i) perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the Services,
in a manner to avoid and/or minimize any and all market consequences, sanctions or penalties that

at all times remain with NAES.
3.19.2 NAES will, at NAES's sole expense and risk, take such action as may
be required to mitigate and correct the occurrence and effects of Pollution and Contamination.
Such actions include arranging for handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of all
Pollution and Contamination. NAES will be solely responsible for obtaining a disposal site for
Pollution and Contamination. NAES will look to the disposal facility and/or transporter for any
responsibility or liability arising from improper disposal or transportation of Pollution and
Contamination. Owner will not have or exert any control over NAES in NAES's obligations or
responsibilities in the storage, transportation, treatment or disposal of any Pollution and
Contamination. NAES will complete and execute any forms or other documents necessary to
comply with any law or requirement of any Governmental Authority relating to the generation,
storage, handling, treatment, transportation, or disposal of Pollution and Contamination. In the
event that Owner executes or completes any such forms, Owner will be, and will be deemed to
have acted as, NAES's agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing liability of NAES does
not apply where NAES has managed Hazardous Materials on the Site in compliance with
Environmental Law and delivered such Hazardous Materials to licensed third party providers of
transportation and disposal services, in which case title to, ownership of, and legal responsibility
for, any and all releases of such Hazardous Materials shall remain with Owner.
3.19.3 NAES will not dispose of any waste or Hazardous Materials on the Site,
nor will it bring any waste or Hazardous Materials from any other location for treatment, storage,

of the normal right of way and Facility maintenance and operation as contemplated herein.
3.19.5 In the event NAES discovers any historical, archeological,
architectural or other cultural artifacts, relics, remains or objects of antiquity at the Site, NAES will
immediately notify Owner before disturbing such artifacts, relics, remains or objects.
3.19.6 NAES will disclose fully to Owner in writing any operating changes,
spills, releases, contamination or other environmental condition that could lead to degradation of
the Site or violate any Applicable Law then in effect; any citations or warnings for violations of
any Applicable Law; and any other act or omission that could lead to liability under any law or
requirement of a Governmental Authority. NAES will inform Owner in writing within 24 hours
of the occurrence of any of the foregoing of the measures NAES has undertaken and proposes to
take and what other responses to address the situation and prevent its recurrence. Owner may
conduct a Phase 1 environmental review during the Term; NAES shall cooperate in such
environmental review.
3.19.7 Compliance with Environmental Laws. During the Term of this
Agreement, NAES shall cooperate and assist Owner with Owner’s acquisition of data and
information, and preparation and filing with appropriate Governmental Authorities of any notices,
plans, submissions, or other materials and information necessary for compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws and the requirements of any Permits related to the Facility. All such
environmental reports shall be submitted by, and in the name of, Owner and not NAES. All costs
associated therewith, including the costs of any outside consultants, legal services, Governmental
Authority charges, sampling and remedial work, shall be paid by Owner as an Operating Cost.
Any action taken by NAES pursuant to any such applicable Environmental Law, including
proceedings and filings made in connection therewith, shall be undertaken, and any Home Office
Costs associated with any such compliance action shall only be incurred, by NAES with Owner's
prior consent, unless a Governmental Authority or Applicable Law requires NAES to incur such
costs and expenses prior to obtaining such consent.
3.19.8 Corrective Action. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
requiring NAES to take any corrective action with respect to the operation, maintenance, use or
condition of the Facility unless (y) affirmatively and expressly directed in writing to so do by
Owner and appropriate funding is made available by Owner, or (z) affirmatively and expressly
directed to do so by a Governmental Authority, in order to comply with any Environmental Law,
in which case the cost of any corrective actions so undertaken shall be deemed an Operating Cost.
Owner shall serve as the “Responsible Official” for purposes of Clean Air Act permitting and
reporting, as “Designated Representative” for purposes of applicable environmental “Cap and
Trade” programs requiring such, including but not limited to Acid Rain Program, Clean Air
Interstate Rule or its replacement and Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, as applicable, and as
corporate responsible official for other environmental programs, permitting and reporting. NAES
and Owner agree (i) in the course of performing Services under this Agreement, neither NAES nor
any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates (collectively, the
15 53
Page 54
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
“NAES Parties”) is, has been or will be asserted by Owner to be, nor will any such Person have
responsibility as, in each case before an environmental protection government agency, an
“operator” of the Facility for purposes of, and as that term is used in, Environmental Law; and (ii)
Owner shall not assert before any environmental protection governmental agencies that a NAES
Party is the operator of the Facility for purposes of Environmental Law. Owner agrees to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all reasonable actions, to do or cause
to be done and to assist and cooperate with NAES in doing all reasonable things to establish before
such environmental governmental protection agencies that no NAES Party is the “operator” of the
Facility.

NAES will prepare and deliver an operation report to Owner (in a form approved by Owner) that
summarizes the Services performed by NAES during the immediately preceding day. Upon
Owner’s request, each month during the Operational Phase, NAES will prepare and deliver to
Owner an operation report (in a form approved by Owner) summarizing the Services performed by
NAES during the immediately preceding month.
3.22 Remote Dispatch. During the Term of this Agreement, NAES shall maintain and
operate a control center staffed twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, with
appropriately trained operators (“NAES Control and Dispatch”) to receive and send dispatch
instructions received from Owner (or any other Person identified by Owner in writing to NAES as
being authorized to provide dispatch instructions) in accordance with established Remote Dispatch
procedures (“Remote Dispatch Services”). NAES Control and Dispatch shall have an alternate
facility available to provide Remote Dispatch Services all of which shall be considered Remote
Dispatch.

5.3 Plans and Budgets.
5.3.1 Adoption.
5.3.1.1 Process. On a date no later than the last day of January of each year,
NAES will submit to Owner a proposed annual budget and plan with respect to the Services (the
“Budget” and the “Plan”) to be performed during the next Operating Year. The Plan and Budget
for the Operating Year 2022 shall be provided prior to execution of this Agreement. Such Budget
will be structured on a monthly basis and will be a projection, in detail reasonably acceptable to
Owner, of all Operating Costs and Reimbursable Costs to be expended in the performance of
the Services during the Operating Year. Each Plan will state the assumptions upon which the
related Budget is based and the implementation plans for the Services, including: (i) anticipated
operations and repairs, (ii) routine maintenance and overhaul schedules (including planned major
18 56
Page 57
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
maintenance), (iii) procurement, (iv) Remote Dispatch, staffing, personnel and labor activities, (v)
administrative activities, (vi) capital improvements, (vii) other work proposed to be undertaken
by NAES, and (viii) a contingency for unplanned projects. Owner will review each proposed
Budget and Plan as promptly as possible and may, by written request, require changes, additions,
deletions and modifications. Owner and NAES will then meet and use reasonable efforts to agree
upon a final Budget and Plan prior to the commencement of the applicable period. Each final
Budget and Plan will remain in effect throughout the applicable period, subject to updating,
revision and amendment proposed by either Party and consented to in writing by the other Party.
5.3.1.2 Adjustments. If either Party becomes aware of facts or circumstances
that it believes necessitate a change to a Budget or Plan, that Party will immediately notify
the other Party, specifying the impact upon the Budget and the reasons for the change. The
Operations Director, Plant Manager or his designee will then discuss appropriate changes to such
Budget with the Owner’s Representative.
5.3.1.3 Failure to Agree. The Parties acknowledge that it is necessary that
Owner retain ultimate authority with respect to expenses incurred for operation of the Facility.
Accordingly, NAES will accept each Budget as finally determined by Owner. If Owner does not
authorize funds as requested by NAES, NAES will be relieved from providing the specific Services
that have not been funded, provided that NAES delivers a written report to Owner that describes
the reasons why NAES believes each disputed expense that NAES requested to be included in a
Budget (or any request for modifications to a Budget pursuant to Section 5.3.1.2) is prudent.
5.3.2 Notification of Variance. NAES will submit a monthly report to Owner
comparing the actual Operating Costs and Reimbursable Costs incurred during the current
Operating Year with the projected Operating Costs and Reimbursable Costs projected in each line
of the Budget. If, at any time during an Operating Year, NAES becomes aware that the aggregate
of all Operating Costs or Reimbursable Costs exceeds or will exceed the amount provided in the
applicable Budget or that the Facility is operating with any material deviations or discrepancies
from the projections contained in the applicable Plan, NAES will promptly notify Owner. NAES
will make no expenditures that exceed a Budget unless Owner grants prior written approval, except
as otherwise permitted in response to an Emergency.
5.4 Availability of Operating Data and Records. NAES will make data prepared and
maintained by NAES available to Owner (i) pursuant to requirements in any Facility Agreement
or the Administrative Procedures Manual, or (ii) upon any request by Owner, on the Business Day
following such request.
5.5 Accounts and Reports. NAES will assist Owner in complying with Owner’s
reporting requirements to Governmental Authorities or counterparties to Facility Agreements and
will furnish or cause to be furnished to Owner certain reports regarding the Services and the
performance of the Facility as defined by Owner and NAES.
5.6 Notices. Upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof, each Party will submit prompt
written notice to the other Party of the following, to the extent relating to the Facility or the

(c) Supplier Issues. The Parties shall promptly notify each other in the event
of any issues such as non-delivery or nonperformance of any suppliers;
(d) Unscheduled Outages. NAES will notify Owner verbally of any unscheduled
outage of the Facility as soon as is as reasonably possible (but in all cases within two hours)
following commencement of the outage. Within seven days following the conclusion of such
unscheduled outage, NAES will submit a report to Owner describing the cause of the outage (if
known), NAES’s response, and the measures, if any, undertaken by NAES to prevent the outage’s
recurrence; and,

To the extent possible, Scheduled Outages shall be performed during non-peak seasons and
comply with PJM Rules.
5.8 Reporting to Governmental Authorities. Unless otherwise directed by Owner or
as set forth in Section 3.19.8, NAES shall prepare and file all reports with Governmental

of the Facility and the provision of the Services, and shall provide drafts of each such report to
Owner for Owner’s review and comment, when possible, prior to filing and, in any event,
contemporaneously with such filing. Such reports shall be complete and accurate.

8.1 Term. This Agreement is effective on the Effective Date and continues in effect
through May 31, 2028 (the “Expiration Date”). NAES shall not enter into any contracts that extend
beyond the Expiration Date (a) unless 30 days’ notice is provided to Owner and (b) Owner consents
to the contract.
8.2 Termination by Owner. Owner is permitted to terminate this Agreement if any of
the following events occur: (i) Bankruptcy of NAES, (ii) payment default by NAES (other than a

default, (iii) default by NAES in performance of its obligations under this Agreement that has a
material effect on operation of the Facility, provided, however, that NAES has up to sixty (60)

Owner) towards curing the default (but in no event to exceed ninety (90) days), (iv) NAES incurs
the maximum liability under Section 11.2.2 for two (2) Operating Years, or (v) Owner, upon no

termination are the “Termination Payment”).
8.3 Termination by NAES. NAES is permitted to terminate this Agreement if any

(ii) Bankruptcy of Owner, (iii) a sale or transfer of the Facility (other than any sale- leaseback
transaction undertaken as part of Owner's procurement of financing or the sale of the Facility to

to Owner and (y) agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms and provisions hereof
for the express benefit of NAES), or (iv) default by Owner of any other obligation under this
Agreement that has a material effect on NAES’s ability to perform the Services; provided,

NAES under this Section 8.3, Owner shall pay to NAES the Termination Payment.

NAES will leave all Facility documents and records, tools, supplies, spare parts, safety equipment,
O&M Manuals, and any other items furnished on an Operating Cost or a Reimbursable Cost basis

will execute all documents and take all other reasonable steps as may be reasonably requested
by Owner to assign to and vest in Owner all rights, benefits, interests and title in connection
with third party contracts, if any, NAES executed in its own name for the benefit of the Facility;
provided, however, that Owner assumes all liabilities arising under such contracts after the date of
assignment.
8.5 Services Upon Termination. Upon notice of termination of this Agreement by
either NAES or Owner, provided that Owner has not defaulted on any payment obligations of this
Agreement, Owner has the right to specify a period of transition (the “Termination Transition
Period”) during which NAES will (i) continue to operate the Facility in accordance with this
Agreement, (ii) cooperate with Owner in planning and implementing a transition to any
replacement of NAES, and (iii) use its reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of Facility

10.3 Violations of Applicable Law. NAES shall be responsible for the cost and
payment of all fines and penalties assessed against Owner or the Facilities that result from NAES’s
operation of the Facilities or performance of Services in violation of any Permits or Applicable

indemnifies, and agrees to defend and hold harmless, Owner, its employees, agents and Affiliates
from and against all claims, suits, actions, losses, liabilities and damages, including all fines,

any Permit or Applicable Law (other than with respect to the exceptions set forth above).
ARTICLE XI - LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES
11.1 Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, neither the Parties nor any of their respective members or shareholders, officers, directors,
agents, representatives or employees are liable for consequential or indirect loss or damage,
including loss of profit, cost of capital, loss of goodwill, increased operating costs or any special
or incidental damages. The Parties further agree that the waivers and disclaimers of liability,
indemnities, releases from liability and limitations of liability expressed in this Agreement will
survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, and apply in all circumstances, whether in
contract, equity, tort or otherwise, regardless of the fault, negligence (in whole or in part), strict
liability, breach of contract or breach of warranty of the Party indemnified, released or whose
liabilities are limited, and shall extend to the partners, principals, directors, officers and
employees, agents and Affiliates of such Party, and the partners, principals, directors, officers,
and employees of such Affiliates.
11.2 NAES's Total Aggregate Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the total aggregate liability of NAES to Owner for all Liabilities arising out of any
events occurring or claims made in connection with the performance of the Services under this
Agreement in any Operating Year, is Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000), provided,
however, that this limitation does not apply to any third party indemnity obligation of NAES arising
under Section 10.1. This limitation applies to indemnity obligations arising under Section 10.3
provided that the payment of a claim under a policy purchased by NAES pursuant to
Section 9.1 shall not be counted toward computing NAES’s total aggregate liability for the
Operating Year. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) the aggregate liability limitation
expressed in this Section 11.2 is separate from, and is not to be construed as limiting, the limits of
insurance and coverage described in Article IX. Any deductible amounts paid in any Operating
Year by NAES under Section 9.6, or under the insurance policies NAES is required to maintain in
Section 9.1, count toward computing NAES’s total aggregate liability for such Operating Year.
11.3 No Warranties or Guarantees. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES TO
THE OTHER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND BOTH PARTIES DISCLAIM AND WAIVE ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR WARRANTIES IMPOSED BY LAW, INCLUDING
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
11.4 Exclusive Remedies. The remedies under this Agreement in respect of or in
consequence of (i) any breach of contract, (ii) any negligent act or omission, (iii) death or
27 65
Page 66
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
personal injury, or (iv) loss of or damage to any property, are to the exclusion of any other
remedy that either Party may have against the other under Applicable Law or otherwise.
ARTICLE XII - CONFIDENTIALITY
12. 1 General. During the Term, and for three (3) years after the termination of this
Agreement, each Party will hold in confidence any Confidential Information supplied by the
other Party. The term “Confidential Information” means with respect to each Party, all written
or oral information of a proprietary, intellectual or similar nature, relating to a Party's business,
projects, operations, activities or affairs, whether of a technical or financial nature or otherwise
(including environmental assessment reports, financial information, business plans and
proposals, ideas, concepts, trade secrets, know-how, processes, pricing of services or products, and
other technical or business information, whether concerning this Agreement, each Party's
respective businesses or otherwise) that has not been publicly disclosed and that the receiving Party
acquires directly or indirectly from the disclosing Party. Each receiving Party further agrees, to
the extent requested by the disclosing Party, to require its contractors, vendors, suppliers and
employees, agents or prospective purchasers to enter into appropriate nondisclosure agreements
relative to any Confidential Information, prior to the receipt thereof; provided, however, that the
receiving Party may make necessary disclosures to third parties directly engaged in the operation,
ownership or financing of the Facility if such third parties agree to receive and hold such
Confidential Information in confidence. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is governed
by the Delaware Freedom of Information Act and that Confidential Information is subject to being
disclosed unless specifically exempt from disclosure under such Act.
12.2 Exceptions. The provisions of this Article XII do not apply to information within
one or more of the following categories:
12.2.1 Public Domain. Information that was in the public domain prior to the
receiving Party’s receipt or that subsequently becomes part of the public domain by publication
or otherwise, except by the receiving Party’s wrongful act, or
12.2.2 Prior Receipt. Information that the receiving Party can demonstrate was
in its possession prior to receipt thereof from the disclosing Party, or
12.2.3 Third Party Delivery. Information received from a third party having no
obligation of secrecy with respect thereof.
12.3 Required Disclosure. Any receiving Party required by law, rule, regulation,
subpoena or order, or in the course of administrative or judicial proceedings, to disclose
Confidential Information that is otherwise required to be maintained in confidence pursuant to
this Article XII, may make disclosure notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII;
provided, however, that the receiving Party, immediately upon learning of the requirement, notifies
the disclosing Party of the requirement and the terms thereof and cooperates to the maximum extent
practicable to minimize the disclosure of Confidential Information. Any receiving Party
disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 12.3 must use reasonable efforts, at
the disclosing Party's cost, to obtain proprietary or confidential treatment of Confidential
Information by the third party to whom the information will be disclosed, and to the extent such
28 66
Page 67
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
remedies are available, must use reasonable efforts to seek protective orders limiting the
dissemination and use of Confidential Information. Moreover, this Agreement does not alter the
rights of any Party to object to the rule, regulation, order or proceedings requiring the disclosure.
ARTICLE XIII - TITLE, DOCUMENTS AND DATA
13.1 Materials and Equipment. Title to all materials, equipment, supplies,
consumables, spare parts and other items purchased or obtained by NAES on an Operating
Cost or Reimbursable Cost basis passes directly from the vendor or supplier thereof to, and vests

in no way affects NAES's obligations set forth in this Agreement.
13.2 Documents. All O&M Manuals, operational data, Facility drawings, NAES
reports and Operating Account records (including, for all documents, both paper and electronic
records) prepared or developed by NAES’s Site Personnel in connection with performance of the
Services become the property of Owner when prepared. All such documents, together with any
materials and documents furnished to NAES by Owner, will remain at the Facility upon expiration
or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that NAES may retain for its records copies
of documents prepared by NAES.
13.3 Proprietary Information. Where materials or documents prepared or developed by
NAES or its Affiliates, or their respective employees, representatives or contractors, contain
proprietary or technical information, systems, techniques or know-how previously developed by
them or acquired by them from third parties (“NAES Proprietary Information”), NAES retains the
unrestricted and irrevocable right to use or dispose of such NAES Proprietary Information as NAES
deems fit; provided, however, that Owner has an irrevocable license to use such NAES Proprietary
Information to the extent necessary for Owner’s operation or maintenance of the Facility at no
additional cost to Owner.
13.4 Intellectual Property. NAES retains all rights, titles, and interest, including
ownership of all patents, patent applications, including continuations, continuations-in-part,
divisionals, reexaminations, and reissues, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how, service
marks, and other created or expressed by NAES (“NAES Intellectual Property”) with respect to
any data, know-how, inventions, databases, tools, algorithms, architecture, user interface designs,

information or materials, processes and procedures relating to Remote Dispatch Services that are
proprietary to NAES and used by NAES to provide these Services.

written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, except that
this Agreement may be collaterally assigned by Owner without such consent to Lender in
connection with Lender's financing of the Facility, and may be assigned by any Party to such
Party’s Affiliates; provided, however, that any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.1 will not
relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the
date of such assignment. NAES agrees to negotiate in good faith any consent to assignment and
29 67
Page 68
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
such other reasonable documents in connection with an assignment to Lender as Lender may
request, provided, however, that all of NAES’s costs in connection therewith shall be Reimbursable
Costs hereunder (including the fees and disbursements of NAES’s attorneys). This Agreement will
be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the
Parties.
14.2 [Reserved]
14.3 Access.
14.3.1 Owner’s Access. Owner and Lenders and their agents and representatives
will have access to the Facility, all Facility operations and any documents, materials and records
and accounts relating to the Facility operations for purposes of inspection and review. Upon the
reasonable request of Owner, and its agents and representatives, NAES will provide such
Persons with access to all operating data and operating logs maintained at the Facility.
14.3.2 Compliance with NAES’s Procedures. During any inspection or review of
the Facility pursuant to Section 14.3.1, Owner and Lenders and their agents and representatives

will cooperate with Owner in allowing other visitors access to the Facility.

duties, liabilities or obligations to Owner. Owner has the right, in its sole discretion, to approve
the retention of any subcontractors.
14.5 Not for Benefit of Third Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
Sections 9.3 and 14.4 (with respect to the additional insured status of Persons) and Articles X,

exclusive benefit of the Parties that executed this Agreement and not for the benefit of any third
party.
14.6 Force Majeure.
14.6.1 Events Constituting Force Majeure. A “Force Majeure Event” is any
event that (a) restricts or prevents performance under this Agreement, (b) is not reasonably
within the control of the Party affected or caused by the default or negligence of the affected
Party and (c) cannot be overcome or avoided by the exercise of due care. Force Majeure Events
include failure of a Party to perform due to drought, flood, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning,
epidemic, war, terrorism, acts of Governmental Authorities, civil disturbances, sabotage, work
stoppages (i.e., strikes), accident or curtailment of supply, unavailability of construction
materials or replacement equipment beyond the affected Party's control, inability to obtain and
maintain Permits from any Governmental Authority for the Facility, restraint by court order, and
changes in Applicable Law that affect performance under this Agreement. Except for the
obligation of each Party to make payments of amounts owed to the other Party, each Party is
excused from performance and will not be considered to be in default in respect to any obligation
if performance cannot occur due to a Force Majeure Event. Neither Party will be relieved of its
obligations under this Agreement solely because of increased costs or other adverse economic
consequences that may be incurred through the performance of such obligations.
30 68
Page 69
Exhibit #2
Item 1.
14.6.2 Notice. If a Party's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement
is affected by a Force Majeure Event, the Party claiming such inability must (i) promptly notify the
other Party of the Force Majeure Event and its cause and confirm the same in writing within five
(5) Business Days of its discovery, (ii) promptly supply such available information about the Force
Majeure Event and its cause as may be reasonably requested by the other Party and (iii) initiate
efforts to remove the cause of the Force Majeure Event or to lessen its effect. Strikes and lockouts
are Force Majeure Events and settlement thereof is wholly within the discretion of the Party whose
employees are on strike or locked out.
14.6.3 Scope. The suspension of performance arising from a Force Majeure
Event will be of no greater scope and no longer duration than that which is necessary. The
excused Party will use its reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform.
14.7 Dispute Resolution.
14.7.1 Any dispute concerning interpretation or clarification of this Agreement,
or the acceptable performance thereof by NAES (“Dispute”), shall be immediately submitted in
writing to Owner for resolution. All determinations, instructions, and clarifications of Owner shall
be final and conclusive, unless NAES files with Owner within 14 days after Owner notifies NAES
of any such determination, instruction, or clarification, a written protest, stating clearly and in detail
the basis thereof. Owner shall respond to such protest within 30 days of its receipt.
14.7.2 In the event that use of the procedures set forth in Section 14.7.1 does not
lead to satisfactory resolution of the Dispute, either Party may send a Notice of Dispute to the other
Party and request a conference for resolution of such dispute. Within three days after delivery
of such notice, each Party shall nominate a senior officer of its management to meet at the Facilities,
or at any other mutually agreed location, to resolve the dispute, which conference shall be convened
within ten days after exchange of such nominations unless the parties mutually agree to another
date. In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through the procedures set forth
in this Section 14.7.2, either Party shall have the right to pursue the remedies in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 14.7.3.
14.7.3 Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the breach thereof, which cannot be resolved amicably, shall be settled by arbitration. This
agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law. The
award of the arbitrator shall be final, and a judgment may be entered upon it by any court
having jurisdiction. A Party desiring to invoke this arbitration provision shall serve written
notice upon the other of its intention to do so. Within 15 days of the date of such notice, each
Party shall serve upon the other the name of one individual, knowledgeable in matters pertaining
to the performance of this Agreement and to the subject matter of the dispute to serve as an
arbitrator. If either Party fails to select an arbitrator and notify the other Party of that selection
within such 15-day period, the other Party may request the American Arbitration Association to
select the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing, and shall be conducted
in Dover, Delaware, unless the Parties agree otherwise. Discovery shall be made available in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but to a degree
limited by the arbitrators as they deem appropriate to render the proceedings economical, efficient,
31 69

forth in Articles VII (with respect to payments), X and XII, Sections 8.2 and 8.3 (with respect to
the obligation to pay the Termination Payment), Sections 14.7 and the limitations on liabilities
set forth in Article XI will survive, in full force, the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
14.10 No Waiver. No delay, waiver or omission by Owner or NAES to exercise any
right or power arising from any breach or default by Owner or NAES with respect to any of
the terms, provisions or covenants of this Agreement will be construed to be a waiver by Owner
or NAES of any subsequent breach or default of the same or other terms, provisions or covenants
on the part of Owner or NAES.

APPENDIX B – PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT
Objective: The objective of the Performance Adjustment in Section 7.7 is to reward NAES for its
performance in two areas: Facility Performance to optimize the value of the Facility in terms of
its Rated Capacity and reduced forced outages, and budget performance. Eighty percent of the
Performance Adjustment applies to Facility Performance; 20% applies to budget.
Facility Performance: 80%
The Facility Performance component is earned by dispatching when called upon and
consistently delivering the Rated Capacity when the Facility dispatches. Thus, a calculation
showing average hourly deliveries of 42.5 MW (Rated Capacity) would earn the full allocation
for Facility Performance, provided that when PJM dispatches the Facility at lower than Rated
Capacity, it will be deemed the Rated Capacity (42.5 MW) for each hour that NAES delivers the
PJM designated dispatch capacity. For clarity, NAES will receive full credit as if the Facility
delivered 42.5 MW. When the Facility delivers less than the Rated Capacity or less than the
PJM designated dispatch capacity during the hours of dispatch, it is not achieving the
performance objective.
Calculation: The Facility Performance Adjustment is calculated for each hour that the Facility
delivers the Rated Capacity. PJM dispatched capacity that is less than or greater than Rated
Capacity shall be separately recorded. Forced Outage Hours shall be included in total hours
dispatched by PJM.
A ÷ B = Full Facility Performance Payment if > than 99%
Where:
A = Total hours Facility delivers at Rated Capacity and at PJM designated dispatch
capacity.
B: Total operating hours plus Unplanned and Forced Outage Hours (PJM schedule hours
when unit fails to dispatch).
Budget Performance: 20%
Budget Performance is earned when the Budget adopted pursuant to Section 5.3 is within 3% of
the actual expenditures for the budget year, exclusive of Force Majeure, equipment failure not
caused by NAES, and charges for water, sewer, and electric. If Budget Performance is more
than 3% than the adopted Budget, no Budget Performance will be awarded.
