L a, , 5 . r-o( TRANSMISSION AGREEMENT ENRICO FERMI M11 CLEAR POWER PLANT UNIT NO. 2 This Agreement made as of the F/d day of February, 1977 by and between The Detroit Edison Company " EDISON") and Northern Michi-gan Electric Cooperative, Inc. (" NORTHERN") and Wolverine Electric Cooperative , Inc. (WOLV'!:RINE") (NORTHERN and WOLVERINE being hereinafter collectively referred to as the " Cooperatives") (EDISON and the Cooperatives being hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as " Parties" and in the singular as " Party"). RECITALS The Parties hereto are all signatories to a certain Partici-( pation Agreement dated as of February 7 , 1977 (the " Participation l ( Agreement") providing for their ownership, as' tenants in commen, 1 and operation by EDISON, of a nuclear electric generating unit kncwn as the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant Unit No. 2 (" FERMI 2") being constructed in Frenchtown Township, Monroe County, Michigan and such l l parties desire to establish terms and conditions for transmission service to be furnished by EDISON for delivery to the Cooperatives of the capacity and energy to which they are entitled under the Participation Agreement and Partial Requirements Agreement.

1. Term of the.Acreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence at the " Commercial Operation Date" (as defined in the
              ~

j Participation Agreement) of FERMI 2 and, unless earlier terminated by the parties hereto, shall remain in full force and effect so 1cng as the' Participation Agreement shall be in effect. The termination of this Agreement shall not affect any amounts due to EDISON cr accrued pursuant to paragraph 4 hereof.- n J

o () 2 Ownership and Operation of Transmission Facilities. Transmission facilities owned by EDISON and utilized for the delivery of capacity and energy entitlements to the Cooperatives shall remain the property of and shall be operated by EDISON and shall not be deemed a part of FERMI 2. Such transmission facilities shall constitute all facilities, including land on which the facilities are situated, owned by EDISON and in service which are used or usuable to transmit capacity and energy at an operating voltage of 120 kV or higher.

3. Provision of Transmission Service. EDISON shall provide transmission service for the delivery to NORTHERN and WOLVERL'E cf their capacity and energy entitlements in FERMI 2, less planned and l unplanned excess capacity repurchased by EDISON, pursuant to the Participation Agreement to the point in EDISON'S service area where NORTHERN and WOLVERINE may accept delivery of such entitlements either through their own transmission facilities or those of other electric systems. The Cooperatives understand and agree that EDISON shall have no obligation or responsibility to provide transmission services beyond its service area, and that it shall be the cbligatien and responsibility of NORTHERN and WOLVERINE to provide, or to make appropriate arrangements with other electric systems to secure <

necessary or desirable transmission service beyond the service area of EDISON. 4 Annual Transmission Charce. NORTHERN and WOLVERLT shall reimburse EDISON for use of its transnission facilities by payment

   '           of an annual transmission charge to be computed in the following manner.

4._' h_ . , O t The annual transmission charge of EDISON for each cal-(a) endar year shall be computed by converting the annual costs for transmission facilities, as described hereunder, to an annual trans-mission charge per kilowatt of load, based upon EDISON'S highest system peak load. The annual charge to NORMIERN and WOLVERINE shall be based upon this annual charge multiplied ly the kilowatts of FERMI 2 capacity to which NORTHERN and WOLVERINE are entitled less planned and unplanned excess capacity repurchased by EDISON. EDISON'S highest system peak load shall include EDISON'S highest native system =v4== one hour integrated demand to date plus any other capacity sold or wheeled by EDISON during the entire calendar , year for which the annual transmission charge is beihg calculated

O plus the cocperatives' entitlement in FERMI 2 less planned and un- -
k i planned excess capacity repurchased by EDISON. EDISCN'S highest native system peak load to date was 6,935,000 kilevatts recorded l

in August 1973. l (b) The annual transmission charge shall mean EDISON'S annual fixed charges and operating costs asscciated with the"oper-ation and maintenance of its transmission facilities and shall in-clude depreciation, property taxes, franchise taxes, insurance, and return on investment, including income taxes asscciated with the equity components of the return on investment. (c) Return on invea, a nt shall be calculated as the product of EDISON'S average rate of return multiplied by the apprcprit.te I net transmission plant investment as of January 1 of each calendar (, year.

                   .l       ,

(i) Net transmission plant investment shall be equal to the original cost of EDISON'S transmission fa-cilities less accumulated provision for depreciation associated with such transmission facilities. (ii) EDISON'S average rate of return shall be calculated on the basis of EDISON'S average capital structure for the preceding calendar year and shall be equal to the sum of the costs of long-term' debt, pre-4 ferred/ preference stock equity and ccmmen. stock,, equity. The cost of long-term debt shall be equal to the then current weighted average interest cost of all long-term

                                                                ~

debt times the long-term debt component as a ratio of the capital structure. The ecst of common stcck, equity shall ( f be equal to the product represented by the weighted average interest cost of all long-term debt multiplied by a facter of 1.7, times the ccmmon stock, equity component as a ratio l of the capital structure. The Cooperatives shall have the right to protest to the Federal Power Ccmmission any return on common stock equity which exceeds 12.5%. (iii) The income taxes associated with the equity components shall be calculated as the product of the sum of the return components of preferred / preference stock _eguity and common s_tock equity and a tax factor defined as: i 1 l lO (- u-5 ) u-r >

                                                                                                                    -2 S equals the then current effective Michigan Single          l l
                                                                                                            ^                            l

Business Tax rate (or any substituted or successor tax) and F' equals the effective Federal Corporate Income Tax rate. Initially, the tax factor is represented by: i

                                                                            -1 (1 .0235) (1  .48) which equates to .9694.

(d) For purposes of ccmputing annual fixed charges, the calculation of property taxes, franchise taxes and insurance shall be based on estimates derived from EDISON'S most recently compiled data. Such estimates shall be adjusted following each calendar year in order to give effect to actual costs incurred for property

                                              ~

taxes, franchise taxes and insurance. ( (e) Annual operating costs, including taxes and an appro-p'iate r allocation of administrative and general expenses, refer to all costs associated with the operation and maintenance of EDISCN'S transmission facilities, aa determined in accordance with the Uni-l i form System of Accounts Prescribed for Class A and B Utilities and Licensees by the Federal Power Ccemission, as amended from time to ! time (or such similar accounts as may hereinafter beceme appro-priate). Such administrative and general expenses included in Accounts 920-932 of the Uniforn System of Accounts (after being re-i duced by the cost of empicyee pensions and benefits included in l l Account 926 and by the credit included in Account 922 for adminis-trative and general expenses capitalized) shall be allocated to l i ()

     \

FERMI 2 by applying a percentage factor derived by dividing the Operation and Maintenance Expenses for FFSMI 2 by EDISON'S total Operation and Maintenance Electric Expenses included in Accounts 500-916, except fuel, purchased pcwer and interchange expenses, including the Cooperatives' share of FERMI 2 Operation and Mainte-nance Expenses. Annual operating costs shall be based on estimates derived from EDISON'S most recently compiled data, and shall be ad-justed following each calendar year to give effect to operating costs actually incurred. (f) EDISON shall be entitied to charge just and reasonable rates for service hereunder and shall have the right to file with appropriata regulatory authorities and to collect increased rates in accordance with applicable regulations pending final determina-tion of the rates or charges in any rate proceeding relating there-to without further agreement by NORTHERN cr WOLVERINE, and they (- shall have the right to protest and participate in any proceeding in which such rates or charges are in issue. (g) An illustration of the calculation of the estimated annual transmission charge is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

5. Pavment. EDISON shall submit to NORTF M and WOLVERINE, respectively, on or before the first day of each calendar month, a monthly invoice representing one-twelfth of the estimated annual transmission charge. These invoices shall be paid by NORTFT.RN and WOLVERINE so that EDISON will receive the funds by the fifteenth day of such calendar month or the first working day thereafter if

_ the payment date falls on other than a working day. All payments shall be made payable to The Det;oit Edison Compr;W and shall be sent to The Detroit Edison Company, Attention: Treasurer, 2000

Any amounts remaining unpaid after the Fifteenth day of the calendar month shall bear interest thereon i from the fifteenth day of the calendar month at a rate of 1% per month or the higheat lawful rate, whichever is lower.

6. Transmission Losses. The respective capacity and anergy entitlements of NORTHERN and WOLVERINE shall be reduced by a factor equal to 1.8% (rounded to the nearest megawatt) in order to give effect to normal and ordinary energy losses deemed attributable to EDISON'S transmission facilities. The percentage reduction shall be reviewed by the Parties from time to time in order to establish prospe'ctively the energy loss factor based upon current losses asso-ciated with EDISON'S 120 kV or high voltage transmission systems.
