Any chance they could email electronic version of this Agreement?

Subject: Gallup - Continental Divide's contract proposal


Gerald,

I am sending up a copy of the proposed contract structure from Continental
Divide
who is the local power utility associated with the Transwestern Gallup
station.

Overall the commercial terms seem to be in line with all the discussions that
have
been referenced, although there are some issues we want to make vary clear or
more apparent.

1) ECS is agreeing to a 3 yr term "to buy power from Continental Divide"
assuming
the merger is completed and power is available to ECS through the No. 21
tariff.

2) They have provided none of the information concerning a split demand
charge
that totals $12.21/kw. Discussions reflect that $8.86/kw is avoidable
and tied to
their monthly coincidental peak load and the remaining $3.35/kw is a
base type
demand. This is the basis of the rebate mechanism for TW. Note this
is also
a Tri-State portion and part of the tariff 21.

3) ECS is aware of more favourable contract structures that Tri-State has
negotiated
and wants to maintain the ability to utilize a more favourable
tariff/contract structure
or to negotiate specifics with Continental Divide post the Tri-State
merger. We
would still be buying from Continental Divide supporting their 3 yr term.

I am trying to get some written specifics from Continental Divide / Tri-State
relative
to the demand avoidance since they are currently using this structure today.
I'll let
you know.

Otherwise I wanted to get the document to you for your review.

Thanks
