30 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Compliance - Sarbanes Oxley Public companies now spend between 2 and 5 cents per share annually on compliance Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 requires management to articulate companys internal control structure Processes and Controls for procurement are not explicitly delineated but the recommended approach is to become more prescribed and stringent Auditors are beginning to require subcontractors to have SAS 70 Type II Audit to have comfort around IT infrastructure of subcontractor World Energys Process and Platform has helped Government and Corporate Buyers Adhere to the most stringent purchasing policies

32 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL From the Worlds Foremost Authority The most important issues in auction design are the traditional concerns of competition policy--preventing collusive, predatory, and entry-deterring behavior. Ascending and uniform-price auctions are particularly vulnerable to these problems. The Anglo-Dutch auction--a hybrid of the sealed-bid and ascending auctions--may perform better. Paul Klemperer, Ph D Edgeworth Professor of Economics, Oxford University What Really Matters in Auction Design

33 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL World Energy Exchange Price-to-Compare provides a market benchmark… Natural competition, enhanced by blinding number of suppliers and leading supplier, drives price down Fixed end time causes suppliers to sharpen their pencils… … and often bid lower than would be otherwise required to win the business. } The site is brutally efficient at driving the price down to the bare minimum. Manager C+I Sales, Major Supplier The auction saves between 7 and 9% versus the paper-based RFP process we formerly used with our clients. Eric Hoegger, Cargill Energy Mgmt Svcs … against which customer savings are quantified.

34 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Approach Designed to Yield Lowest Price Dynamic Auction vs Traditional Paper/Phone/Fax Methods: Pitting suppliers against one another creates a more competitive atmosphere, provides suppliers with more information about real time bidding dynamics, and shrinks time suppliers hold their prices - causing suppliers to bid more aggressively. Fixed End Time vs Overtime Format: Having a hard stop causes the last bid to be blind, causing suppliers to put their best bid as their last. Direct Bid Entry vs Proxy Bid: Causes suppliers to lower their bid by more than the minimum amount to win. % of Total Savings 35 - 40% 25%

35 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL RFP Architecting Intelligent sequencing of RFPs can yield bidding behavior that favors the customer After losing the first RFP, Supplier 3 submits a last bid 2.8 mils lower than the then-current lowest bid and 1.9 mils lower than the second lowest bid. Auction 1 Auction 2 Supplier 1 Supplier 2 Supplier 3 Supplier 4 Supplier 3 Supplier 4 Supplier 1 Supplier 5 Supplier 1

36 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Parameter Testing On-line Auction allows for testing of different procurement parameters –Contract Term (e.g. 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 mos) –Product (Fixed, Indexed, Baseload) –Green Power Mix Also enables grouping of like load factor accounts to minimize cross-subsidization

37 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Intelligence to Guide Strategy Decisions Platform contains market analysis for all deregulated markets Wholesale Pricing trends Market Characteristics –Switch Rules –Regulatory Hist –Rate Classes Current Go-to-Market recommendation

38 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL In-Market Experience to Guide Timing While we do not advocate market timing, we have successfully guided customers in when and where to go-to-market to minimize cost. For example, for GSA NY, we ran the May 2004 renewal in October 2003, as we identified a cyclical dip in the market, and as a result they are enjoying prices 20% lower than they would have gotten in Q1. Electricity Gas 40% 10% 20% 75% Timing of Exchange Volume

42 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Better than Traditional Processes On the same day an industrial clients consultant solicited the top 5 suppliers in the market, World Energy auctioned the clients load to the other suppliers in the market and received pricing that was 18% lower than the consultants traditional process. A large hotel operators incumbent supplier attempted to bypass the process and bid on a Tuesday. The operator instructed supplier to bid via the World Energy Exchange on Thursday. Even though market prices rose over the two days, the operator received lower pricing from the incumbent (who won the auction) and more favorable contract terms. The Veterans Administration was part of an aggregation of several hospitals. The incumbent supplier bid directly to the client while World Energy ran an auction. The final price was 3.5 mils lower even with a GSA solicitation that had more favorable terms for the government.

43 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Good for Suppliers, Too I get a lot of good pricing information about the market through the auction process. You bring deals my sales force doesnt see, so I have sales and marketing margin to play with. I know where I stand in the process, so I can mitigate my risk in the wholesale market. Their data is so well organized, it costs me less to price a deal from World Energy.
