In the event that a wholly owned

limited purpose subsidiary corporation

of TNGV is established to engage in the

NGV Activities through a non-corporate

entity, such subsidiary will have mirrorimage authorizations and obligations of

TNGV under this filing as such relate to

the relevant investment, with TNGV

functioning as ‘‘passthrough’’ with

application-declaration under Sections

6(a), 7, 9(a) and 10 of the Act and Rule

54 thereunder.

By Order dated March 8, 1991, (HCAR

No. 25269) (‘‘1991 Order’’), EUA and

certain of its subsidiaries were

authorized, among other things, to

contribute up to 200,000 common

shares of EUA, $5.00 par value per share

(‘‘Common Shares’’), or cash for the

purchase thereof, to the Eastern Utilities

Associates Employees’ Savings Plan

(‘‘Plan’’), through December 15, 1995.

The Common Shares issued to the Plan

may be: (1) Authorized but unissued

shares issued to the Plan by EUA; (2)

purchased on the open market; or (3)

purchase shares from EUA. Whenever

cash contributions to the Plan by EUA

or the participating subsidiary

companies are used to purchase

Common Shares from EUA, the

proceeds are added to the general funds

of EUA and may be used for, among

other corporate purposes, the payment

or prepayment of outstanding short-term

indebtedness.

The number of Common Shares

available under the 1991 Order is now

expected to be depleted by July 1995.

Therefore, EUA and the Subsidiaries

now propose to contribute an additional

150,000 common shares of EUA or cash

to purchase such number of shares for

the Plan, through December 15, 1997

under the terms and conditions

authorized in the 1994 Order.

Investment Management, pursuant to

delegated authority.
