(2) Dynegy Marketing and Trade (“Dynegy”); and (3) Sempra Energy, Sempra Energy Trading Corporation, Southern California Gas Company, and San Diego Gas and Electric (“Sempra”).  In December 2005, the District Court dismissed NVE and NPC’s claims.  NVE and NPC appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit.  Subsequently, NVE abandoned its appeal and the matter proceeded only with respect to NPC.  In September 2007, the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court’s order.  In November 2007, the Ninth Circuit denied the gas providers and traders’ petition for rehearing.  The Ninth Circuit remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings.  In January 2008, the defendants filed motions to dismiss, to which NPC responded in February 2008.  In June 2008, NPC’s claims survived the defendant’s filed motions to dismiss and proceeded to discovery.  In December 2008, NPC settled with Sempra for an immaterial amount.  In June 2009, NPC reached settlement agreements with both Dynegy and El Paso.  Any disputes between the parties have now been resolved and all claims have been dismissed.</div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt;

(Peabody WC), filed a complaint against the Navajo Joint Owners in Missouri State Court in St. Louis, alleging, among other things, a declaration that the Navajo Joint Owners are obligated to reimburse Peabody WC for any royalty, tax or other obligations arising out of a lawsuit that the Navajo Nation filed against Salt River, several Peabody Coal Company entities (including Peabody WC and collectively referred to as “Peabody”) and SCE in June 1999 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (DC Lawsuit).</div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"> </div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify">The Navajo Joint Owners were first served in the Missouri lawsuit in January 2005.  The operating agent for the Navajo Generating Station, Salt River, defended the suit on behalf of the Navajo Joint Owners.  In July 2008, the Court dismissed all counts against NPC, two without prejudice to their possible refiling at a later date.  NPC is unable to predict whether any liability may arise from any of these matters, including from the ultimate outcome of the DC Lawsuit.</div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"> </div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify">NPC is not a party to the DC Lawsuit although, as noted above, it is a participant in both the Navajo Generating Station and the Mohave Generating Station.  The DC Lawsuit consists of various claims relating to the renegotiations of coal royalty and lease agreements and alleges, among other things, that the defendants obtained a favorable coal royalty rate for the lease agreements under which Peabody mines coal for both the Navajo Generating Station and the Mohave Generating Station by improperly influencing the outcome of a federal administrative process pursuant to which the royalty rate was to be adjusted.  Initially, the DC Lawsuit sought $600 million in damages, treble damages and punitive damages of not less than $1 billion, and the ejection of defendants from all possessory interests and Navajo Tribal lands arising out of the primary coal lease.  In July 2001, the U.S. District Court dismissed all claims against Salt River.   In April 2010, the Navajo Nation amended their complaint; it no longer seeks treble damages.

In early August 2009, SPPC appealed the District Court’s $1.3 million cash value determination with the Ninth Circuit. Subsequently, in August 2009, the Insurers appealed the District Court’s insurance coverage decision with the Ninth Circuit.  The Ninth Circuit heard arguments on the appeal in November 2010 and further asked that the parties consider mediation settlement proceedings. In January 2011, the parties, including TMWA, agreed to engage in mediation settlement discussions.
