(1) Excludes unamortized discounts and premiums, fair value accounting adjustments and capital leases.
(2) Interest on variable-rate debt based on rates as of December 31, 2013.
(3) See Note 6, Leases, of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(4) Amounts under contract with fixed or minimum quantities based on estimated annual requirements.
(5) Includes amounts for capital leases (see Note 6, Leases, of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and contingent tax
liabilities (see Note 5, Taxes, of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Excluded from the data shown above are estimates for the cash outlays from power purchase contracts entered into by most of
the Utilities and under which they procure the power supply necessary to provide generation service to their customers who do not
choose an alternative supplier. Although actual amounts will be determined by future customer behavior and consumption levels,
management currently estimates these cash outlays will be approximately $2.9 billion in 2014, $0.7 billion of which are expected
to relate to the Utilities' contracts with FES.

the value of the transaction to the third party. The maximum potential amount of future payments FirstEnergy could be required to
