Page No. 3



---

Schedule 2.01(b), respectively, as of the Operations Date may be redesignated on another of these two lists, deleted from such list, or redesignated as a
Local Area Facility without the necessity of an amendment to this Agreement, but only in the following manner:



(i) at the direction of a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Transmission Facilities in question, provided that the ISO and
all PTOs shall be provided prior written notice of such changes;



(ii) as agreed between the ISO and the PTO or PTOs owning the transmission facilities; or



(iii) where the operational characteristics of a transmission facility have been materially modified after the Operations Date (including
a change from a radial transmission facility to a looped transmission facility that contributes to the parallel carrying capability of the New England Transmission System) in accordance with Section 2.01(e); provided that any such changes shall
also be subject to ISO review consistent with Section 2.06.



(e) All transmission facilities to be redesignated as Category A Facilities, Category B Facilities, or Local Area Facilities or deleted from the lists in Schedule 2.01(a) and Schedule 2.01(b) in accordance with
Section 2.01(d)(iii), and all transmission facilities to be added to the lists in Schedule 2.01(a) and Schedule 2.01(b) in accordance with Section 2.02 shall be classified in accordance with the following standards:



(i) Category A Facilities shall consist of: all transmission
lines with a voltage level of 115 kV and above, except for those 115 kV transmission facilities specifically designated as Category B Facilities in accordance with Section 2.01(e)(ii); all transmission interties between Control Areas; all
transformers that have Category A Facilities connected to the lower voltage side of the transformer; all transformers that require a Category A Facility to be taken out of service when the transformer is taken out of service; and all breakers and
disconnects connected to, and all shunts, relays, reclosing and associated equipment, dynamic reactive resources, FACTS controllers, special protection systems, PARS, and other equipment specifically installed to support the operation of such
transmission lines, interties, and transformers.



(ii) Category B Facilities shall consist of: all 115 kV radial transmission lines and all 69 kV transmission lines that are not interties between Control Areas; all transformers that have any Category B Facilities and no Category A
Facilities connected to the lower voltage side of the transformer except to the extent such transformers are designated as Category A Facilities in accordance with Section 2.01(e)(i); and all breakers and disconnects connected to, and all

level of less than 69 kV and all transformers that have no Category A Facilities or Category B Facilities connected to the lower voltage side of the transformer.



(iv) To the extent there is any dispute between the ISO and a PTO or PTOs owning a transmission facility
concerning classification of such transmission facility under these standards, such disagreement shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement, provided that the ISOs classification of a transmission facility under
the standards shall govern pending resolution of the dispute.



(f) Collectively, all Category A Facilities, Category B Facilities, and Local Area Facilities shall hereinafter be referred to as the Transmission Facilities, provided that Transmission
Facilities shall not include Excluded Assets as defined in Section 2.04 of this Agreement or Merchant Facilities. The ISO shall maintain on its OASIS a posting of the current versions of Schedule 2.01(a) and Schedule 2.01(b), in each
instance, reflecting each such change promptly after such change is made.



(g) The classifications set forth in this Section 2.01 are for operational purposes. Rate treatment of Transmission Facilities shall be governed by the ISO OATT, provided that filings for rate treatment under the
ISO OATT shall be subject to Section 3.04 of this Agreement.



2.02 New and Acquired Transmission Facilities and Transmission Upgrades.



(a) Any New Transmission Facility, any Transmission Upgrade, and any Acquired Transmission Facility shall be considered a
Transmission Facility under this Agreement once it is placed into commercial operation by the applicable PTO(s); shall be designated as a Category A Facility, Category B Facility, or Local Area Facility in accordance with
Section 2.01(e) unless otherwise agreed by the ISO and the PTO(s) owning the Transmission Facility; and shall be subject to the Operating Authority of the ISO in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



(b) The designation of an Acquired Transmission Facility as
a Category A, Category B or Local Area Facility shall not require the abrogation or modification of existing contractual arrangements for such Acquired Transmission Facility.



(c) Any Merchant Facility interconnected to or within the New England Transmission System shall not be the
subject of this Agreement. Any Merchant Facility interconnected to or within the New England Transmission System constructed and placed in commercial operation after the Operations Date shall be subject to the authority of the ISO under a separate
agreement in accordance with Section 2.03 and any applicable provisions of the ISO OATT.



Page No. 5

filing. The PTO shall consult with interested stakeholders upon request. The PTO shall retain the right to modify aspects of any filing authorized by this Section 3.04(a) after it provides written notification to the ISO and stakeholders, and
shall provide notification to the ISO and stakeholders of any material modification to such filings.



With respect to any filing described in sub-paragraph (ii) through (viii), above, the PTO shall include in any filing a statement that, in the good faith judgment of the PTO, the proposal will not be inconsistent
with the design of the New England Markets, as accepted or approved by FERC. In the event the ISO believes that a proposed filing described in sub-paragraph (ii) through (viii), above, would have such an inconsistency, it shall so advise the
PTO and such PTO and the ISO shall consult in good faith to resolve any ISO concerns, but, if such disagreement cannot be resolved, the PTO may submit a filing under Section 205, provided that the PTOs filing (including the transmittal
letter for such filing) to FERC shall include any written statement provided by the ISO setting forth the basis for the ISOs concerns. With respect to any PTO whose transmission rates and revenue requirements are not subject to FERC
jurisdiction under Section 205 or otherwise, such PTO shall have the right to establish its revenue requirements, and, where applicable, its rates and charges, in accordance with applicable law and submit such revenue requirements, rates and
charges to FERC for a determination that inclusion of such revenue requirements, rates and charges in the ISO OATT will yield rates and charges for Transmission Service that satisfy the applicable standard under Section 205.



A PTO shall consult with the ISO to determine whether the ISO will need to make any software
modifications in order to implement any filing authorized by this Section 3.04(a) and when any needed software modifications could reasonably be expected to be implemented. The PTOs filing to FERC (and the transmittal letter for such a
filing) shall include any written statement provided by the ISO setting forth the basis for any software-related implementation concerns

raised by the ISO. The ISO shall make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement any needed software modifications by the effective date accepted by the
FERC for a filing authorized by this Section 3.04(a), provided that, if the ISO has exercised such Commercially Reasonable Efforts, a failure to implement needed software modifications by the FERC-accepted effective date shall not constitute an
event of default by the ISO under this Agreement or subject the ISO to financial damages, and further provided that the ISO shall run retroactive settlements consistent with the FERC-accepted effective date for a filing authorized by this
Section 3.04(a) once such software modifications have been implemented.



(b) The PTOs, acting jointly in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement among them, shall have the authority to submit filings under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act to establish and to revise:



(i) the rates and charges for Transmission Service
pursuant to which the revenue requirements for all Transmission Facilities of the PTOs used for the provision of Transmission Service are recovered; including the design of any rates or charges for: (A) regional Transmission Service on the New
England Transmission System involving the use of more than one PTOs Transmission Facilities; (B) Transmission Service between the New England Transmission System and any other transmission system; (C) Transmission Service through the
New England Transmission System between other transmission systems; (D) the recovery of any portion of the revenue requirements of the PTOs attributable to the elimination of any rates or charges (e.g., border charges) for any such Transmission
Service; (E) the methodology by which the costs of Transmission Upgrades related to generator interconnections are allocated under the ISO OATT and (F) the methodology by which the costs of New Transmission Facilities and Transmission
Upgrades are allocated under the ISO OATT.



(ii) the methodology for the recovery and allocation of the line losses on the New England Transmission System, if and to the extent that the calculation of locational marginal prices for energy is not designed to recover such losses; and



(iii) any rates or charges, and terms and
conditions related thereto, that implement an incentive or performance-based rate proposal, applicable to the entire New England Transmission System.



The PTOs shall not have the authority to revise such rates, terms and conditions in a manner that would abridge the rights granted to the ISO in Section 3.04(c). The
PTOs shall provide written notification of any proposed filing under this Section 3.04(b) to the ISO and stakeholders, which notification shall include a detailed description of the proposed filing, at least 30 days prior to the filing. The
PTOs shall retain the right to modify aspects of any filing authorized by this Section 3.04(b) after they provide written notification to the ISO and stakeholders, and shall provide notification to the ISO and stakeholders of any material
modification to such filings. If less than



Page No. 22



---

all of the PTOs support the filing, the PTOs will advise the ISO and stakeholders of that fact and the dissenting PTOs shall advise the ISO and stakeholders
of their concerns.



The PTOs and the ISO shall make every reasonable effort to
agree upon the PTOs proposed filing under this Section. In the event the PTOs and the ISO are unable to agree on the PTOs filing under this Section, and the ISO in its good faith judgment concludes that the PTOs filing will:



(A) be inconsistent with the design of the
New England Markets, including the congestion pricing methodology for the ISO region, as accepted or approved by FERC;



(B) have a material adverse effect on the efficiency or competitiveness of the New England Markets, or on the ability of the ISO to
provide transmission access on a not unduly discriminatory or preferential basis; or



(C) have a material adverse effect on the reliability of the ISO bulk power system;



then, except as provided in the next sentence, the PTOs filing will not become
effective until such time as FERC issues an order determining the proposal set forth in the filing to be consistent with the standard applicable under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, and such a filing (including the transmittal letter for
such a filing) shall include any written statement provided by the ISO setting forth the basis for the ISOs concerns. In the case of a filing described in sub-paragraph (iii), above, the PTOs may request that FERC permit the filing to go into
effect on an interim basis, notwithstanding the conclusion of the ISO. If FERC grants the PTOs request to permit the filing to go into effect on an interim basis, the filing will become effective, subject to refund, on the date specified in
FERCs order.



The PTOs shall consult with the ISO to determine whether
the ISO will need to make any software modifications in order to implement any filing authorized by this Section 3.04(b) and when any needed software modifications could reasonably be expected to be implemented. The PTOs filing to FERC
(and the transmittal letter for such a filing) shall include any written statement provided by the ISO setting forth the basis for any software-related implementation concerns raised by the ISO. The ISO shall make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
implement any needed software modifications by the effective date accepted by the FERC for a filing authorized by this Section 3.04(b), provided that, if the ISO has exercised such Commercially Reasonable Efforts, a failure to implement needed
software modifications by the FERC-accepted effective date shall not constitute an event of default by the ISO under this Agreement or subject the ISO to financial damages, and further provided that the ISO shall run retroactive settlements
consistent with the FERC-accepted effective date for a filing authorized by this Section 3.04(b) once such software modifications have been implemented.

(c) The ISO shall have the authority to submit filings under Section 205 of the
Federal Power Act to establish and to revise:



(i) any terms and conditions of the ISO Tariff, and any separate ISO tariffs, relating to Transmission Service and/or the New England Markets , provided that: (A) the ISO shall not have the authority to revise such terms and conditions
in a manner that would abridge the rights granted to the PTOs in Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b); (B) the ISO shall not have the authority to eliminate Local Network Service or Local Point-to-Point Transmission Service provided
under the Local Service Schedules; (C) the ISO shall not file to change the state or federally-accepted or -approved terms and conditions of any PTOs retail access plan or the terms and conditions of any retail access plans of a
PTOs affiliated distribution companys (including any such terms and conditions that protect against bypass of any provision of a PTOs retail access plan) or the state or federally-accepted or -approved rates and other mechanisms
for the recovery of a PTOs wholesale or retail stranded costs in effect as of the Operations Date; and (D) the ISO shall not have the authority to transfer to any third party the ISOs Section 205 rights to revise the terms and
conditions of Transmission Service or the authority to enter into agreements with any group of stakeholders to submit filings under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act to change the terms and conditions of Transmission Service where such
proposed changes are not supported by the ISO but are approved by a vote of the stakeholder group.



The ISO shall provide written notification of any proposed filing under this Section 3.04(c) to the PTOs and stakeholders, which notification shall include a detailed description of the proposed filing, at least
30 days prior to the filing. The ISO shall consult with the PTOs and stakeholders and will consider any comments any PTO or stakeholder provides in developing its filing. The ISO shall retain the right to modify aspects of any filing authorized by
this Section 3.04(c) after it provides written notification to the PTOs and stakeholders and shall provide notification to the PTOs and stakeholders of any material modification to such filings. In addition, the ISO shall consult with the PTOs
to determine whether the filing will have any adverse impact on any PTOs revenue requirements, or on the ability of any PTO to recover its revenue requirements, or have a material adverse impact on the ability of any PTO to implement an
incentive rate plan then in effect. If the affected PTOs conclude in their good faith judgment that the filing will have any of such effects, the ISO and the affected PTOs will make every reasonable effort to resolve the concerns of the affected
PTOs. In the event that the affected PTOs concerns cannot be resolved, the ISO may, nevertheless, make a filing under Section 205 provided that, except as provided in the next sentence, such a filing will not become effective until such
time as the Commission issues an order determining the proposal set forth in the filing to be consistent with the standard applicable under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act. The ISO may request that FERC permit a filing authorized by this
Section 3.04(c) to go into effect on an interim basis, notwithstanding the conclusion of the affected PTOs, provided that the ISO shall include in such a filing (and the transmittal letter for such a filing) any written statement provided by
the affected PTOs setting forth the basis for the affected PTOs concerns. If FERC grants the ISOs request



Page No. 24



---

to permit the filing to go into effect on an interim basis, the filing will become effective, subject to refund, on the date specified in FERCs order.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in Exigent Circumstances , the ISO shall have the unilateral authority, upon written notice to the PTOs, the Participants Committee, and the individual Participants, to submit any filing under Section 205 of the
Federal Power Act to modify any provision of the ISO Tariff as authorized in this Section 3.04(c), provided that such filing shall be subject to all conditions set forth in this Section 3.04(c) except for those conditions that would limit
the ISO from submitting or implementing such an ISO unilateral filing on an expedited basis or that would require the consultation otherwise specified herein.



(d) Except as explicitly set forth in Section 3.04(e), with respect to certain items listed in Sections 3.04(a) and 3.04(b), the
ISO shall have no authority to submit a filing under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act to modify any provision of the ISO OATT that implements any of the items listed in Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b). The PTOs shall have no
authority to submit a filing under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act to modify any provision of the ISO OATT that implements any of the items listed in Section 3.04(c). The ISO reserves its rights to intervene in, comment on or protest
any filing made by the PTOs, and to submit proposals for the consideration of the PTOs and the PTOs reserve their rights to intervene in, comment on or protest any filing made by the ISO, and to submit proposals for the consideration of the ISO.



(e) In the event the ISO determines that a
change in the design of any provision of the ISO OATT described in Section 3.04(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (vii) or 3.04(b) is required because the existing design of any rates or charges for Transmission Service is inconsistent with the
design of the New England Markets, and such inconsistency will, if not remedied before relief would be available in a proceeding under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act, either: (i) substantially and adversely affect the efficiency or
competitiveness of the New England Markets, or (ii) substantially and adversely affect the reliability of the ISO bulk power system, a senior officer of the ISO shall notify the affected PTO(s) of its determination. Upon receipt of such
notification, the affected PTO(s) and the ISO shall diligently work together to arrive at appropriate changes in the rates to alleviate the conditions that led to this notification being given, while protecting the rights of the affected PTO(s) to
fully recover their revenue requirements and the amount of incentive payments associated with FERC-accepted or -approved incentive arrangements for the PTO(s). If the affected PTO(s) and the ISO agree on a solution to this issue, the affected PTO(s)
shall make a filing at FERC under Section 205 consistent with such agreement.



If the affected PTO(s) and the ISO cannot agree on a mutually acceptable Section 205 filing to address this issue within a period of thirty (30) days, and the affected PTO(s) do not make a Section 205 filing within the thirty
(30) day period, then the ISO shall have the authority to submit a filing under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act as permitted herein. provided that such a Section 205 filing shall not be submitted until the PTOs have an opportunity to
meet with representatives of the ISO Board of Directors if requested by any PTO with reasonable notice, and the ISO may, with the approval of FERC, place a replacement for such rate design into



Page No. 25

effect, while the proceeding on the ISOs filing is pending before FERC, for a period no longer than fifteen (15) months, provided that such filing
shall not propose a modification that adversely affects the rights of the affected PTO(s) to fully recover their FERC-allowed revenue requirements and the amount of incentive payments associated with FERC-allowed incentive arrangements for the
PTO(s) or that would result in any costs previously approved or accepted for recovery under either a federal or state-jurisdictional rate thereafter becoming unrecoverable under either a federal or state-jurisdictional rate, and the replacement rate
design proposal of the ISO is subject to refund and surcharge, as necessary to restore the status quo ante if FERC does not ultimately approve that proposal. To place its replacement rate design proposal into effect, the ISO shall bear the burden of
persuading FERC that: (i) the ISOs replacement proposal is consistent with the standard applicable under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act; (ii) the ISOs determination regarding the inconsistency of the existing rate
design with the design of the New England Markets and the impact of that inconsistency, as set forth in the first sentence of this subsection, is correct; and (iii) the ISOs proposal will not adversely affect the rights of the affected
PTO(s) to fully recover their FERC-allowed revenue requirements or the amount of incentive payments associated with FERC-allowed incentive arrangements for the PTO(s) or to fully recover costs previously approved or accepted for recovery under
either a federal or state-jurisdictional rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in Exigent Circumstances , the ISO shall have the unilateral authority, upon written notice to the PTOs, the Participants Committee and the individual Participants, to
submit a filing under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act to modify any provision of the ISO Tariff described in this Section 3.04(e), provided that such filing shall be subject to all conditions set forth in this Section 3.04(e)
except for those conditions that would limit the ISO from submitting or implementing such an ISO unilateral filing on an expedited basis or that would require the consultation otherwise specified herein.



(f) In the event the ISO concludes that a filing to
establish or to revise the terms and conditions listed in Section 3.04(c) is required and that providing the notification or consultation required under Section 3.04(c) for such filing would result in an unanticipated material adverse
effect on the efficiency or competitiveness of the New England Markets or the reliability of the ISO bulk power system in the circumstances, the ISO: (i) shall provide such notification to the PTOs and stakeholders or undertake such
consultation with the PTOs and stakeholders as is possible under the circumstances; and (ii) may submit a filing under Section 205 to establish or to revise the terms and conditions listed in Section 3.04(c) upon issuance of a written
statement setting forth the circumstances that do not permit such notification or consultation.



(g) In the event the PTO(s) conclude that a filing to establish or to revise the rates, terms and conditions listed in
Section 3.04(a) or 3.04(b) is required and that providing the notification or consultation required under Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b) for such filing would result in an unanticipated material under-recovery of the PTO(s)
revenue requirements or other material adverse financial effect on the PTO(s), the PTO(s): (i) shall provide such notification to the ISO and stakeholders or undertake such consultation with the ISO as is possible under the circumstances; and
(ii) may make a Section 205 filing to establish or to revise



Page No. 26



---

the rates, terms and conditions listed in Section 3.04(a) or 3.04(b) upon issuance of a written statement setting forth the circumstances that do not
permit such notification or consultation.



(h)
Cost Allocation Moratorium



(i) During
the five (5) year period commencing on the Operations Date (the Moratorium Period), neither the PTOs, pursuant to Section 3.04(b), nor the ISO, pursuant to Section 3.04(e), shall submit filings under
Section 205 of the Federal Power Act to modify:



(A) the provisions and schedules of the ISO OATT governing the split between PTF and Non-PTF transmission facilities in effect prior to the Operations Date for purposes of allocating costs to Transmission Customers;



(B) the provisions and schedules of the ISO OATT
establishing the methodology by which the costs of Transmission Upgrades and New Transmission Facilities related to generator interconnections are allocated under the ISO OATT; and



(C) the provisions and schedules of the ISO OATT establishing the methodology by which the costs of New
Transmission Facilities and Transmission Upgrades are allocated under the ISO OATT;



(ii) The Parties agreement to forego submission of Section 205 filings during the Moratorium Period with respect to the items
listed in Section 3.04(h)(i) (A) through (C) above shall not restrict in any way the rights of the PTOs, pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 3.04(b) or 3.04(a), to submit Section 205 filings to modify any elements of the
rates applicable to Transmission Service other than those items listed in Section 3.04(h)(i) (A) through (C). Nothing in this Section 3.04(h) shall restrict in any way the rights of the PTOs to submit Section 205 filings to
establish incentive or performance-based rates in accordance with Section 3.04(b)(iii) or to submit Section 205 filings to establish formula or stated rates in accordance with Section 3.04(b)(i), provided that such filings do not
propose to modify the items listed in Section 3.04(h)(i) (A) through (C). Nothing in this Section 3.04(h) shall restrict in any way the rights of the ISO, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.04(e), to submit
Section 205 filings to modify any elements of the rates applicable to Transmission Service other than, provided that such filings do not propose to modify the items listed in Section 3.04(h)(i) (A) through (C).



(iii) Notwithstanding Section 3.04(h)(i)(B) above, to
the extent that the requirements for any New Transmission Facilities or Transmission Upgrades associated with new or existing generation set forth in the ISO OATT are modified during the Moratorium Period in a manner that creates a new or



Page No. 27



---

modified category of generator-related transmission costs, the PTOs shall have the authority, in accordance with Section 3.04(b), to submit
Section 205 filings during the Moratorium Period to establish the methodology by which such new or modified generator-related transmission costs are allocated.



(iv) Nothing in this Section 3.04(h) shall supersede or alter the effect of any FERC orders concerning
the allocation of costs for specific transmission facilities in the New England region.



(v) Nothing in this Section 3.04(h) shall restrict in any way the rights of the ISO or of any PTO during the Moratorium Period to
submit a filing under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act to modify the provisions and schedules described in Section 3.04(h)(i) (A) through (C).



(vi) After the end of the Moratorium Period, the PTOs may exercise their rights in accordance with
Section 3.04(b)to submit Section 205 filings to modify the provisions and schedules described in Section 3.04(h)(i) (A) through (C); provided that:



(A) The PTOs must provide the ISO, the Regional State Committee established by the states in the ISO region
(the Regional State Committee), and stakeholders no less than 90 days advance notification of the proposed filing, including a detailed description of any proposed change to the cost allocation provisions set forth in Schedules 11
or 12 of the ISO OATT as of the Operations Date (or the successors thereto). The PTOs, the ISO and the Regional State Committee shall engage in a process of consultation and negotiation in order to attempt to reach consensus on such filing.



(B) At least 30 days prior to the proposed
filing date the Regional State Committee may inform the PTOs that the Committee opposes the PTOs proposal to change the cost allocation provisions set forth in Schedules 11 or 12 of the ISO OATT as of the Operations Date (or the successors
thereto).



(C) If the Regional State
Committee opposes the PTOs proposal to change the cost allocation provisions set forth in Schedules 11 or 12 of the ISO OATT as of the Operations Date (or the successors thereto), the PTOs may make the Section 205 filing to modify the
cost allocation provisions set forth in Schedules 11 or 12 of the ISO OATT as of the Operations Date (or the successors thereto); provided that: (1) such filing may not go into effect until FERC has approved the filing; (2) the Regional
State Committee will have the right to provide the PTOs with an alternative proposal to change the cost allocation provisions set forth in Schedules 11 or 12 of the ISO OATT as of the Operations Date (or the



Page No. 28



---

successors thereto) which the PTOs will include in their Section 205 filing and which will be considered on an equal footing with the PTOs
proposal in the FERC proceeding, and (3) such alternative proposal shall not adversely affect the rights of the affected PTO(s) to fully recover their FERC-allowed revenue requirements and the amount of incentive payments associated with
FERC-allowed incentive arrangements for the PTO(s) or result in any costs previously approved or accepted for recovery under either a federal or state-jurisdictional rate thereafter becoming unrecoverable under either a federal or
state-jurisdictional rate.



(D) If,
notwithstanding the requirements of Section 3.04(h)(vi)(C), the Regional State Committee submits an alternative proposal to change the cost allocation provisions set forth in Schedules 11 or 12 of the ISO OATT as of the Operations Date (or the
successors thereto) that any PTO believes causes an under-recovery of costs when used in conjunction with the other elements of the rate design for transmission rates filed by the PTOs (or the one already in effect if the PTOs filing does not
propose to change the rate design), the PTO(s) will have the right: (1) to include in such filing an explanation of why the PTO or PTOs believe the Regional State Committee proposal causes an under-recovery of costs contrary to the requirements
of Section 3.04(h)(vi)(C); and (2) to file a modified rate design that eliminates such under-recovery (or a rate mechanism filed by one or more PTOs individually for that purpose, when the under-recovery affects them uniquely) in the event
that the alternative proposal to change the cost allocation provisions set forth in Schedules 11 or 12 of the ISO OATT as of the Operations Date (or the successors thereto) is approved by the FERC placed into effect coincident with the effective
date of such proposal.



(E) Any requirements
established by this Section 3.04(h)(vi) with respect to the Regional State Committee shall not subject any PTO or ISO-NE to the jurisdiction or authority of any agent or agency of any state participating in the Regional State Committee.



(vii) After the end of the Moratorium Period,
the ISO may exercise its rights in accordance with Section 3.04(e) to submit Section 205 filings to modify the provisions and schedules described in Section 3.04(h)(i) (A) through (C) if the PTOs fail to alleviate the
conditions specified in Section 3.04(e).



(i) The ISO shall have sole authority to submit Section 205 filings to recover its administrative, capital and other costs (including the collection of funds from Transmission Customers to support payment of FERC annual charges with
respect to transmission service for which the ISO is the Transmission Provider as defined in FERC rules and orders) including the design of any charges therefore (the ISO Administrative Charge ).



Page No. 29



---

(j) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict in any way the rights of the ISO or of any
PTO to submit an application under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act for revisions to the rates, terms and conditions of service under the ISO OATT. Nothing in this Agreement shall subject any Publicly-Owned PTO to regulation of rates and
charges applicable to its transmission facilities under Sections 205 or 206 of the Federal Power Act; provided, however, that the justness and reasonableness of regional transmission rates or charges may be evaluated in light of the levels of, and
manner in which, the costs of Publicly-Owned PTOs transmission facilities are recovered under regional transmission rates.



(k) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict in any way the rights of any PTO to submit a proposal under Section 205 of the Federal
Power Act to participate in, join, or become an ITC pursuant to Attachment M to the ISO OATT and, upon approval of such proposal, to withdraw from this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement.



(l) Stakeholder Process for Regional Rate Filings.



(i) Absent unanticipated circumstances, every
PTO proposal to modify regional rates in accordance with Section 3.04(b) shall be presented by the PTOs to the appropriate stakeholder Technical Committee(s) for consideration and an advisory vote. The Technical Committee, at its next meeting
following the one at which the intial presentation is made (which shall be no later than 30 days after any proposal is made), shall: (i) vote on the merits of the proposal as presented or with changes accepted by the PTOs; or (ii) by
motion and vote of 66-2/3%, defer action on any proposal presented if it reasonably determines that additional information should and could be provided to more adequately inform the members of such Technical Committee before a vote on the merits is
taken. Any deferral shall be for no more than 30 days,after which the PTOs may move for an advisory vote upon their proposal at the next meeting of the Technical Committee (which shall be held within 30 days of the start of the deferral). At
that time, the Technical Committee may vote on the merits of the proposal as presented or with changes approved by the Committee, or may vote to oppose the proposal on the grounds that sufficient information has still not been provided, but may not
defer consideration of the proposal for any further period without the consent of the PTOs. Failure of the Technical Committee to vote within the time frames set forth in this paragraph shall advance the process to the next step, and in no event
shall a period of longer than 60 days be required for the PTOs to submit a proposal to modify regional rate design in accordance with Section 3.04(b) to the Participants Committee.



(ii) Absent unanticipated circumstances and after the fulfillment of the procedures outlined in
Section 3.04(l)(i), every PTO proposal to modify regional rates in accordance with Section 3.04(b) shall be presented by the PTOs to the stakeholder Participants Committee for an advisory vote, along with a report of any action, failure to
act or advisory vote taken by any Technical Committee(s).



Page No. 30



---

Such report shall be considered by the Participants Committee no later than the first regularly scheduled meeting following notification of that
presentation. The Participants Committee shall: (i) vote on the merits of the proposal as presented or with changes accepted by the PTOs; or (ii) by motion and vote defer action on any proposal if it reasonably determines that the proposal
presented is materially different from the proposal presented to the Technical Committee, and was not voted on by the Technical Committee. Any deferral shall result in a repeat of the processes outlined above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Participants Committee may, at its discretion, consider and vote upon any proposal submitted to it and such a vote shall have the same effect as if the proposal had first been voted upon by a Technical Committee. The Participants Committee may not
defer action on any item that has been voted on by a Technical Committee and presented to the Participants Committee for an advisory vote unless the PTOs consent to such deferral. If the Participant Committee has not scheduled a meeting to vote on
the merits of a PTO proposal to modify regional rates in accordance with Section 3.04(b) prior to date that the PTOs intend to submit such a proposal to the FERC, then the PTOs shall request that the Participants Committee schedule a special
meeting to conduct an advisory vote on the merits of such proposal. In no event shall the PTOs be required to wait for a Participant Committee advisory vote for a period of longer than 90 days after initial notification of such proposal to
stakeholders prior to submitting a proposal to modify regional rate design in accordance with Section 3.04(b) to the FERC.



(iii) An advisory vote by the Participants Committee on the merits of any proposal, whether in favor of or in opposition, terminates the
stakeholder proceedings absent voluntary resubmission of the same or a modified proposal by the PTOs, at a future time. The PTOs shall report the results of such advisory vote in any relevant filing made by the PTOs with the FERC. A failure by the
Participants Committee to vote within the time frames outlined above terminates the Participant proceedings absent voluntary resubmission of the same or a modified proposal by the PTOs at a future time.



(iv) Nothing in this Section 3.04(l) shall limit the
ability of the PTOs to submit a filing pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to modify regional rates in the event the PTOs conclude that a filing to modify regional rates is required due to unanticipated circumstances, provided that the PTOs shall
provide such notification to the stakeholder Participant Committee or undertake such consultation with the stakeholder Technical Committee(s) and Participant Committee as is possible under the circumstances and shall provide the Participants
Committee with a written statement setting forth the circumstances that do not permit the notification or consultation otherwise required by this Section 3.04(l).



Page No. 31



---

(v) The process set forth in this Section 3.04(l) shall not apply to filings related
to regional rates submitted to the FERC on an informational basis. The applicable process for review of such informational filings shall be set forth in the ISO OATT.



(m) Highgate Transmission Facilities (HTF).



(i) The costs of the HTF shall be included in the
transmission rates for Regional Network Service on a phased- in basis, in accordance with Appendix B to the Attachment F Implementation Rule of the ISO OATT, provided that:



(A) the costs of the HTF shall be fully phased into the transmission rates for Regional Network Service in
year 5 as defined in Appendix B to the Attachment F Implementation Rule of the ISO OATT;



(B) the HTF shall not be classified as PTF for rate purposes under the ISO OATT; and



(C) the rate treatment of the HTF shall establish no
precedent or presumption concerning rate treatment of any other HVDC transmission facilities.



(ii) the HTF shall be classified as Category A Facilities, provided, however, that the classification of the HTF as Category A facilities
under this Agreement shall establish no binding precedent or presumption concerning the operational and other terms and conditions for other HVDC facilities over which the ISO may obtain operational and other authority under this TOA or other ISO
operating agreements in the future.



3.05 The ISOs
Responsibilities.



(a) In addition to
its other obligations under this Agreement, in performing its obligations and responsibilities hereunder, and in accordance with Good Utility Practice, the ISO shall:



(i) maintain system reliability;



(ii) in all material respects, act in accordance with applicable Laws and conform to, and implement, all
applicable reliability criteria, policies, standards, rules, regulations, orders, license requirements and all other applicable NERC/NPCC Requirements, and other applicable reliability organizations reliability rules, and all applicable
requirements of federal or state laws or regulatory authorities; and



(iii) act without undue preference to any Party.



Page No. 32



---

(b) The ISO shall obtain and retain all necessary authorizations of FERC and other
regulatory authorities to function as the New England RTO and shall possess the characteristics and perform the functions required for that purpose.



3.06 Each PTOs Responsibilities.



(a) From and after the Operations Date, each PTO shall, in accordance with Good Utility Practice:



(i) direct, physically operate, repair, and maintain its

3.13 Municipal/Tax-Exempt Utilities.



(a) The Parties to this Agreement hereby recognize the
tax-exempt status of any tax-exempt bonds or other evidence of indebtedness of Publicly-Owned PTOs used to finance any Publicly-Owned PTOs Transmission Facilities. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement should
be construed in a manner that would, jeopardize the tax-exempt status of any tax-exempt bonds or other debt used to finance any Publicly Owned PTOs Transmission Facilities. The Parties to this Agreement contemplate that, as to Publicly-Owned
PTOs, this Agreement will be deemed to be a contract for the operation of an electric transmission facility by an independent entity which does not constitute private business use of their Transmission Facilities under
regulations of the Internal Revenue Service appearing, inter alia, in 26 C.F.R. § 1.141-7(g)(1)(ii) and subsequently adopted regulations of similar intent and coverage.



(b) In the event of a change in the nature of this Agreement that would jeopardize the tax-exempt status of
any tax-exempt bonds or other debt used to finance Publicly-Owned PTOs Transmission Facilities, or a change in the state or federal income tax treatment of the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement, or any other set of circumstances, the
effect of which would be to render the participation of Publicly-Owned PTOs in the arrangements established by this Agreement inconsistent with the maintenance of the tax-exempt status of bonds or other debt used to finance any Publicly-Owned
PTOs Transmission Facilities, the Parties agree, if so requested, to undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop revised or replacement arrangements that will enable the Publicly-Owned PTOs to authorize the ISO to exercise Operating
Authority over the Publicly-Owned PTOs Transmission Facilities without incurring adverse state or federal income tax treatment of their outstanding bonds or other debt used to finance any Publicly-Owned PTOs Transmission Facilities, and
will otherwise maintain the tax-exempt status of Publicly-Owned PTOs outstanding bonds or other debt used to finance any Publicly-Owned PTOs Transmission Facilities. If, and to the extent that, the Parties to this Agreement are not able
to accommodate the changes described in this subparagraph (b), the Parties will undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop an alternative means for Publicly-Owned PTOs to (i) transfer Operating Authority as to its Transmission
Facilities to ISO-NE, and (ii) recover the costs of its PTF facilities in the same manner and by the same means as PTOs under this Agreement.



(c) In the event that an electric cooperative or membership corporation that owns PTF and has debt financed or guaranteed by the Rural
Utilities Service (RUS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (a Cooperative TO) becomes a signatory to this Agreement, this Agreement shall become effective as to that Cooperative TO only upon approval of such
participation by the RUS, to the extent required by RUS regulations, including those regulations currently codified at 7 C.F.R. § 1717.608 and subsequently adopted regulations of similar intent and coverage. Should such approval be denied or
conditioned by the RUS in a manner unacceptable to the Cooperative TO, the other PTOs or the ISO, the other PTOs and the ISO will consult with the affected Cooperative TO and, if so requested, will undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
resolve to the extent practicable the objections articulated (and/or



Page No. 45



---

conditions imposed) by the RUS to the participation of the Cooperative TO in the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement. If, and to the extent that, the
Parties to this Agreement are not able to accommodate the concerns expressed by the RUS as to the participation of such Cooperative TO, the Parties will undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop an alternative means for such Cooperative
TO to (i) transfer Operating Authority as to its Transmission Facilities to ISO-NE, and (ii) recover the costs of its PTF facilities in the same manner and by the same means as PTOs under this Agreement.



(d) Nothing in this TOA or any other ISO agreement shall
require any PTO on whose behalf Tax-Exempt Debt has been or will be issued, or which will issue Tax-Exempt Debt, to refund prior Tax-Exempt Debt or to violate restrictions applicable to facilities financed with Tax-Exempt Debt including contractual
restrictions and covenants regarding use of such facilities.



(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require any Publicly-Owned PTO: (i) to act in contravention of, or (ii) to refrain from acting where failure to act would be in contravention of,
or (iii) to constitute consent or acquiescence by any Publicly-Owned PTO to any action or failure to act of any other Party in contravention of the laws of any State governing the organization or operation of the Publicly-Owned PTO.



3.14 No Impairment of the ISOs Other Legal Rights and
Obligations.



Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to impair or infringe on any rights or obligations of the ISO under the Federal Power Act and FERCs rules and regulations thereunder, including the ISOs rights and obligations to submit filings to recover its administrative,
capital, and other costs, provided that any such rights are not inconsistent with the express terms of this Agreement. During the Term of this Agreement, the ISO shall:



(a) have the rights and obligations to design, develop, operate, maintain and administer the New England
Markets and congestion pricing mechanisms (including the exclusive right to make Section 205 filings relating to the Market Rules in accordance with Section 3.04),



(b) have the rights to undertake actions relating to congestion pricing and management in accordance with
this Agreement, ISO Market Rules, and applicable FERC orders.



Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to impair or infringe on such rights and obligations.

Page No. 50



---

Agreement pursuant to Section 11.05; provided, however, that this Section 6.06 shall not apply to agreements with owners of ties to other Control
Areas, agreements with owners of Merchant Facilities, agreements with generators (to the extent the ISO obtains operating authority over transmission tie lines owned by generators through such agreements), or agreements with Independent Transmission
Companies.



(b) The ISO may enter into
agreements to perform Operating Authority or other RTO functions for one or more transmission utilities in a Control Area outside of New England. If the ISO enters into an agreement to perform Operating Authority or other RTO functions for one or
more transmission utilities in an area contiguous to the New England Control Area, such agreement shall not: (i) materially and adversely affect the ISOs ability to perform Operating Authority for any PTO, or (ii) be unduly
preferential to any transmission utility similarly situated to any PTO; provided that, if a PTO believes that a proposed agreement to perform Operating Authority or other RTO functions for one or more transmission utilities in a Control Area
contiguous to the New England Control Area violates the immediately foregoing proviso, such PTO may notify the ISO, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the proposed agreement, of its desire to negotiate the additional or modified terms
and conditions of this Agreement necessary to relieve said adverse effect or undue preference and if such negotiation is not concluded within thirty (30) days after said notice, either Party may seek to resolve the dispute in accordance with
Section 11.14 of this Agreement and may file the additional or modified terms and conditions of this Agreement necessary to relieve said adverse effect or undue preference for approval by the FERC. Notwithstanding anything else in this
agreement, including Section 11.04, the PTO proposing any additional or modified terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be required to demonstrate that the existing terms and conditions of this Agreement are unjust and unreasonable if
the ISO has agreed to or the FERC approves the proposed additional or modified terms and conditions in an agreement with transmission utilities in a Control Area contiguous to the New England Control Area. The limitations and procedures in this
Section 6.06(b) shall not apply to the ISOs execution and performance of Coordination Agreements (or amendments thereto) with the operators of neighboring Control Areas, to the administration of Interconnection Agreements with neighboring
Control Areas, or to the ISOs provision of reliability services to New Brunswick Power Corporation.



(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting any FERC-jurisdictional Initial PTO or Additional PTO the right to recover
the costs of its Transmission Facilities pursuant to the ISO OATT or any other regulated tariff absent approval or acceptance by the FERC for such cost recovery. The Parties hereto expressly reserve their rights to oppose a request for such cost
recovery for any potential PTO that is not recovering its transmission costs pursuant to FERC regulated transmission tariffs prior to the Operations Date.



6.07 Management Agreements.The ISO shall not enter into any management agreement relating to the provision of transmission services with
any Person, including a transmission-owning utility, unless such agreement: (a) has been approved by FERC; (b) does not violate the ISOs Code of Conduct and is on an arms- length basis; or (c) if for an aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 or more for a contract with any Participant in the New England Markets,

including PTOs, is the result of a competitive solicitation process, the outcome of which is based on factors that include, among others, skill,
qualifications, costs, reputation, and associated risks.



6.08
ISO Line of Business; Non-Profit-Status.The ISO shall not be operated on a for-profit basis. This provision is not intended to require the ISO to maintain its status as an entity not subject to federal or state taxes, to require the
ISO to remain a Delaware not-for-profit corporation or to assure that in any particular year that the ISOs revenues do not exceed its expenses. The ISO shall not pay dividends or use its net earnings other than to offset ISO operating and
capital expenses and maintain reasonable reserves.

ARTICLE IX



INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES



9.01 Indemnification.



(a) Subject to Section 9.06(b) through 9.06(e), (i) each PTO shall severally release,
indemnify, and hold harmless the ISO from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, suits, proceedings, recoveries, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, court costs, attorney fees, and all other
obligations (each, an Indemnifiable Loss) asserted against the ISO by a Person that is not a Party to this Agreement (a Third Party) including but not limited to any action by a PTO employee, to the extent alleged to result
from, arise out of or be related to such PTOs acts or omissions that give rise to such Indemnifiable Loss; and (ii) the ISO shall release, indemnify, and hold harmless each PTO from and against any Indemnifiable Loss asserted against such
PTO by a Third Party, including but not limited to any action by an ISO employee, to the extent alleged to result from, arise out of or be related to the ISOs acts or omissions that give rise to such Indemnifiable Loss, including an ISO
directive and/or instructions to a Party.



(b)
The indemnification by the ISO set forth in Section 9.01(a)(ii) above shall be limited to the extent that the liability of a PTO seeking indemnification would be limited by any applicable Law and arises from a claim by (i) such PTO in such
PTOs role as a Transmission Customer or (ii) a customer of such PTO.



(c) Each PTO shall severally release, indemnify, and hold harmless the ISO from and against any Environmental Damages that the ISO becomes
subject to as a result of its exercise of Operational Authority over such PTOs Transmission Facilities, to the extent such Environmental Damages arose prior to the Operations Date or did not result from the ISOs acts or omissions.



(d) Each PTO and/or the ISO each hereby
(i) waives any defense or immunity it might otherwise have under applicable workers compensation laws or any other statute, or judicial decision, disallowing or limiting such indemnification and (ii) consents to a cause of action for
indemnity and/or contribution in connection with such indemnification.



9.02 Notice of Proceedings.Each party entitled to receive indemnification under this Agreement (each, an Indemnitee) shall promptly notify the party who holds an indemnification obligation hereunder (in
each case, the Indemnifying Party) of any Indemnifiable Loss in respect of which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.01. Such notice shall be given as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Indemnitee becomes aware of the Indemnifiable Loss and that any such claim or proceeding may give rise to an indemnification obligation hereunder. Such notice shall describe the nature of the loss or proceeding in reasonable detail and
shall indicate, if practicable, the estimated amount of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The delay or failure of such Indemnitee to provide the notice required pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall not
release the



Page No. 53



---

Indemnifying Party from any indemnification obligation which it may have to such Indemnitee except (a) to the extent that such failure or delay
materially and adversely affects the Indemnifying Partys ability to defend such action or increases the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, and (b) that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any costs or expenses of the Indemnitee
in the defense of the claim, suit, action or proceeding during such period of failure or delay.



9.03 Defense of Claims.



(a) Unless and until the Indemnifying Party (i) acknowledges in writing its obligation within ten (10) calendar days of the
Indemnitees notice of a claim, suit, action or proceeding, and (ii) assumes control of the defense of such claim, suit, action or proceeding in accordance with Section 9.03(b), the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to contest, defend and litigate, with counsel of its own selection, any claim, action, suit or proceeding by any third party alleged or asserted against such Indemnitee in respect of, resulting from, related to or arising out of any
matter for which it is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, and the reasonable costs and expenses thereof shall be subject to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.



(b) Upon acknowledging in writing its obligation to
indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent required pursuant to this Article IX and paying all reasonable costs incurred by such Indemnitee in its defense, including reasonable attorneys fees, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its option
(subject to Section 9.03(d)), to assume and control the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding at its expense with counsel of its selection, subject to the prior reasonable approval of the Indemnitee.



(c) Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee shall
be entitled to settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.



(d) Following the acknowledgment of the indemnification and
the assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.03(b), the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel and such counsel may participate in such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the expense of such Indemnitee, when and as incurred, unless: (i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded and
specifically notified the Indemnifying Party that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action; (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed
independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to assume the defense of such action and shall have been so notified by the Indemnitee; (iv) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded and specifically notified the Indemnifying
Party that there may be specific defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or that such claim, action, suit or proceeding involves or could have a material adverse effect upon the
Indemnitee beyond the scope of this Agreement; or (v) the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently



Page No. 54



---

such action within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving notice from the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee believes the Indemnifying Party has failed
to take such steps. If clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of the preceding sentence shall be applicable, then counsel for the Indemnitee shall have the right to direct the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the
Indemnitee and the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall constitute indemnifiable legal or other expenses hereunder.



(e) If the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss incurred by an Indemnitee, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment by an
Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such
reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith (together with interest thereon from the date of payment thereof at the Prime Rate) shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. In the event
that the claim, demand or suit giving rise to an Indemnifiable Loss is ultimately adjudicated, if a Final Order confirms that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the amount advanced by the Indemnifying Party in respect
of such Indemnifiable Loss (together with interest thereon from the date of payment thereof at the Prime Rate) shall promptly be paid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party.



9.04 Subrogation.Upon payment of any indemnification by a party pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying
Party, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that the Indemnitee may have relating thereto, and such Indemnitee shall at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and give
at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Indemnifying Party vigorously to pursue such claims.



9.05 Insurance.



(a) The ISO shall at all times, at its own cost and expense, carry and maintain or cause to be carried and maintained throughout the Term:
(i) liability and errors and omissions insurance (including blanket coverage for contractual liability), insuring the ISO against liability for injury or death to persons, damage to property and environmental restoration,
(ii) workers compensation insurance, (iii) property insurance and (iv) directors and officers insurance. The amount of the insurance coverages and deductibles shall generally be comparable to other independent system
operators or RTOs, taking into consideration the relative size of the ISO and its contractual and tariff liabilities as compared to the other system operators or RTOs administering similar market structures. In assessing the comparable coverages and
deductibles, the ISO may rely on the advice of its insurance consultants.



(b) Each PTO will maintain property insurance on its Transmission Facilities and liability insurance in accordance with good utility practice. Each PTO may self insure such amount to the extent it currently self
insures similar policies and amounts.



Page No. 55



---

(c) All insurance required under this Section 9.05 by outside insurers shall be
maintained with insurers qualified to insure the obligations or liabilities under this Agreement and having a Bests rating of at least B+ VIII (or an equivalent Bests rating from time to time of B+ VIII), or in the event that from time
to time Bests ratings are no longer issued with respect to insurers, a comparable rating by a nationally recognized rating service or such other insurers as may be agreed upon by the PTOs and the ISO.



(d) The PTOs shall be listed as additional insured parties
on the liability and errors and omissions insurance required to be maintained by the ISO and the ISO shall be listed as an additional insured party on the liability insurance maintained by each PTO. Upon execution of this Agreement, and when
requested thereafter, each Party shall furnish each other Party with certificates of all such insurance policies setting forth the amounts of coverage, policy numbers, and date of expiration for such insurance in conformity with the requirements of
this Agreement.



(e) The insurance policies
maintained by the ISO hereunder shall not be canceled, terminated or the terms thereof modified or amended without at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the PTOs.



(f) If any insurance policy required to be maintained by the ISO hereunder shall not be available to the ISO
on a commercially reasonable basis (taking into account both terms and premiums), the ISO shall obtain a written report of an independent insurance advisor of recognized national standing, chosen by the PTOs and reasonably acceptable to the ISO,
confirming in reasonable detail that such insurance policy, in respect of amount or scope of coverage, is not available on a commercially reasonable basis from insurers of recognized standing. During any period with respect to which any insurance
policy required by this Agreement is not commercially available, the ISO shall nevertheless maintain insurance that approximates such required insurance policy as closely as commercially practical, to the extent it is available on a commercially
reasonable basis from insurers of recognized standing. If any insurance policy which was previously not held or discontinued because of its commercial unavailability later becomes available on a commercially reasonable basis, the ISO shall obtain or
reinstate such insurance.



9.06 Assumption of
Liability.



(a) (i) Each PTO
shall be severally liable to the ISO, and the ISO shall be liable to each PTO, for losses, liabilities, damages, diminution in value, obligations, claims, proceedings, fines, deficiencies and expenses (collectively, Losses) caused by
such Partys grossly negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct (including the grossly negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of such Partys directors, Affiliates, members, officers, employees, agents, and contractors)
in connection with the performance of such Party of its obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) no Party shall be liable to another Party for any incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including lost
revenues or profits, even if such damages are foreseeable or the damaged Party has advised such Party of the possibility of such damages and regardless of whether any such damages are deemed



Page No. 56



---

to result from the failure or inadequacy of any exclusive or other remedy. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to the right of the Parties to seek
indemnification under this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01.



(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the right of the ISO to recover its costs due to liability under this Article IX through the ISO Participants Agreement or the ISO Administrative Tariff.



(c) The ISO shall not be liable to any PTO
with respect to any damages incurred by such PTO that are directly attributable to the ISOs reliance on facility ratings established by such PTO.



(d) No PTO shall be liable to any other PTO and/or the ISO by reason of this Agreement (whether based on contract, indemnification,
warranty, tort, strict liability or otherwise) for: (i) any acts or omissions taken or done in compliance with, or good faith attempts to comply with, the directives and/or instructions of the ISO, except in cases of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such PTO; and/or (ii) any costs and expenses relating to the operation, repair, maintenance or improvement of any Transmission Facility of the ISO or any other PTO.



(e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the ISO shall be
liable in actual damages for failure to make payments or transfer sums under Section 3.10 of this Agreement if the ISO fails to discharge its obligation to prepare and send bills or to perform its obligations pursuant to Section 3.10 of
this Agreement.

Termination Date so as to eliminate the material changes to such liability and indemnification protections.



(iii) FERC issues an order putting into effect an amendment or modification of this Agreement that materially adversely affects the
ISOs ability to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement, unless the ISO has agreed to such changes in accordance with Section 11.04, provided that: (A) withdrawal pursuant to this provision shall require notice to the
other Parties not less than 180 days prior to the Termination Date established pursuant to Section 10.01(e); and (B) the ISO shall be required to rescind such notice if FERC issues a subsequent order prior to the Termination Date so as to

the ISO shall exercise this right in accordance with Section 10.04(b)(i).



(e) Actions Prior To Withdrawal or Termination. Upon submission of a written notice of termination or withdrawal by a Party or
Parties, the Party or Parties submitting such notice shall commence the development of a plan under which Operating Authority shall be transferred from the ISO to another entity. The Termination Date with respect to any PTO or the ISO shall not
occur until both: (a) the ISO and all affected PTOs have agreed upon a plan addressing the technical, operational and market issues associated with the transfer of Operating Authority in connection with such termination or withdrawal and such

Section 11.14; (ii) with respect to a withdrawal pursuant to Section 10.01(a), no PTO shall be required to remain a Party to this Agreement for longer than one year after providing notice of withdrawal; and (iii) in the event of
a default by the ISO, the affected PTOs may require that the ISO immediately make arrangements for the orderly transfer of the ISOs invoicing and collection functions with respect to such PTOs prior to the Termination Date in accordance with
Section 10.03(b); and (b) all required regulatory approvals, if any, have been obtained for such withdrawal or termination, including any approvals required pursuant to Section 10.01(f).



(f) Approvals. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein or in any other document to the contrary, any termination or withdrawal requested under this Section 10.01 shall be effective: (1) unless a party to this Agreement seeking to challenge the request demonstrates that the
requested termination or withdrawal is contrary to the public interest under the Mobile-Sierra Doctrine and (ii) subject to the FERCs determination under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act that the termination or withdrawal is
just, reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. Each PTO exercising its right to withdraw or terminate in accordance with this Section 10.01 shall file with the FERC, pursuant to Section 205 of the FPA, the tariffs and rate
schedules applicable to transmission service over such PTOs Transmission Facilities to become effective upon such termination or withdrawal.

10.02 Release of Operating Authority.



(a) Upon the Termination Date, the ISOs right and
obligation to exercise Operating Authority over the Transmission Facilities of a PTO with whom this Agreement has terminated shall promptly cease, and, in accordance with Section 10.01, the ISO shall be deemed to have released and returned, and
such PTO (or its designee) shall have assumed, Operating Authority over such Transmission Facilities on the Termination Date.



(b) After the Termination Date, the ISO shall take Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist the terminating PTO or such PTOs
designee in resuming performance of the functions comprising Operating Authority.



(c) The expenses associated with any termination under Section 10.01 shall be at the PTOs expense unless (1) the
termination is by the ISO pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii) or (iii), or (2) pursuant to Section 10.03 in the event of an ISO default.



10.03 Events of Default of the ISO.



(a) Events of Default of the ISO. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.03, the occurrence of any of the
following events shall constitute an event of default of the ISO under this Agreement:



(i) Failure by the ISO to perform any material obligation set forth in this Agreement and continuation of such failure for longer than
thirty (30) days after the receipt by the ISO of written notice of such failure from a PTO; provided, however, that if the ISO is diligently pursuing a remedy during such thirty (30) day period, said cure period shall be extended for an
additional thirty (30) days or as otherwise agreed by all affected Parties



(ii) If there is a dispute between the ISO and a PTO as to whether the ISO has failed to perform a material obligation, the cure period(s)
provided in Section 10.03(a)(i) above shall run from the point at which a finding of failure to perform has been made by a Governmental Authority;



(iii) Any attempt (not including consideration of strategic options or entering into exploratory discussions) by the ISO to transfer an

(v) Failure of the ISO to pay when due any other amounts payable to any PTO by the ISO pursuant to this
Agreement within thirty (30) days of the due date;



(vi) The exercise of Operating Authority or other responsibilities under this Agreement in a manner that results in a material amount of damage to or the destruction of a PTOs Transmission Facilities due to the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of the ISO or the repeated and persistent exercise by the ISO of its Operating Authority in a manner that subjects Transmission Facilities to the significant risk of a material amount of damage, provided that
exercise by the ISO of its Operating Authority over any Transmission Facility both in accordance with the Operating Procedures and within the ratings established by a PTO for such Transmission Facility shall not be considered to subject such
Transmission Facility to risk of damage and further provided that nothing in this Section 10.03(a)(v) shall be deemed to excuse the ISO from complying with its obligations under this Agreement or to limit the other events of default specified
in this Section 10.03(a).



(vii) With
respect to the ISO, (A) the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or for reorganization or arrangement under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or voluntarily taking advantage of any such laws by answer or otherwise or the

or all of the following remedies, all of which shall be cumulative and not exclusive:



(i) To terminate its participation in this Agreement with respect to such PTO in accordance with Section 10.01(e); provided that if
the ISO contests such allegation of an ISO event of default, this Agreement shall remain in effect pending resolution of the dispute, but any applicable notice period shall run during the pendency of the dispute;



(ii) To demand that the ISO shall immediately make
arrangements for the orderly transfer of Operating Authority over such PTOs Transmission Facilities and assist such PTO or such PTOs designee in resuming performance

of the functions comprising Operating Authority, provided that: (A) such PTO shall not be liable for the reimbursement of the ISO for any costs and
expenses incurred by the ISO in connection therewith; (B) the ISO and all affected PTOs shall agree upon a plan addressing the technical and operational issues associated with such transfer of Operating Authority, and such plan has been
implemented; and (C) if the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such plan, any affected Party shall have the right to submit the matter to FERC for resolution without additional negotiation under Section 11.14;



(iii) To demand that the ISO shall terminate any right of
the ISO, immediately make arrangements for the orderly transfer of the ISOs invoicing and collection functions with respect to such PTO and assist such PTO or such PTOs designee in resuming performance of the functions the later of 20
days from the date of making such demand or the start of the next billing cycle. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the ISO agrees to deliver all information and files necessary to perform billing for regional transmission service
(the Regional Billing), including but not limited to transferring all files then used by the ISO to prepare rate calculations and billing to a billing representative designated by the PTOs. The PTOs will provide the ISO, within 30
days of the Operations Date, with a list of the specific information and files necessary if the PTOs were to perform the Regional Billing;



(iv) To make any payment or perform or comply with any agreement that the ISO shall be obligated to pay, perform or comply with under this

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing
in this Section 10.04 shall be deemed to give the ISO or any ISO agent or designee the right to exercise any functions other than those enumerated as Operating Authority in Section 3.02 or the right to take physical control of any PTO
facilities.

(A) ISO Agreement to Amendments. The ISO shall be
deemed to have agreed to such amendment upon execution of the amendment.



(B) PTO Agreement to General Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in sections 11.04(a)(iii)(C) and 11.04(a)(iii)(D), the PTOs will be deemed to have agreed to such amendment upon a vote of the PTOs meeting
all of the following criteria:



(1)
Weighted Voting. A vote to approve an amendment to this Agreement under this Section 11.04(a)(iii)(B) shall be cast by a number of the Individual Votes of the PTOs equal to or greater than sixty-five (65) percent of the aggregate
Individual Votes of all the PTOs;



(2)
Support of Non-Affiliated PTOs. In addition to the Individual Votes satisfying Section 11.04(a)(iii)(B)(i), a vote of the PTOs to approve an amendment to this Agreement under this Section 11.04(a)(iii)(B) shall be cast by a number of

Page No. 66



---

(3) Limits on a Single PTO Veto. The negative vote of a single PTO with
Individual Votes equal to thirty-five (35) but not more than fifty (50) percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of the PTOs shall not cause the amendment to fail if the combined Individual Votes of the PTOs voting in favor of the
amendment are equal to or greater than ninety-five (95) percent of the Individual Votes of all the remaining PTOs. The negative vote of a single PTO with Individual Votes greater than fifty (50) percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of
the PTOs voting shall cause the amendment to fail.



(C) PTO Agreement Requiring a Super Majority Vote. The PTOs will be deemed to have agreed to an amendment to Section 3.04(b) of this Agreement upon a vote of the PTOs meeting both of the following criteria:



(1) Weighted Voting. A vote to approve an amendment

by amendment to this Agreement or in any other way without the prior written consent of each PTO that may be affected thereby.



(E) Amendments to PTO Voting Provisions to Reflect Additional Participating Transmission Owners. If an



Page No. 67



---

unaffiliated transmission utility from outside the New England Control Area becomes or is about to become an Additional Participating Transmission Owner
pursuant to Section 11.05 of this Agreement, and if any initial PTOs Individual Vote will change by more than 20 percent as a result, the PTOs shall enter into good faith negotiations to consider appropriate modifications to Sections
11.04(a)(iii)(B) and 11.04(a)(iii)(C) of this Agreement and Schedule 11.04 to this Agreement. The PTOs may unilaterally amend or revise Sections 11.04(a)(iii)(B) and 11.04(a)(iii)(C) of this Agreement and Schedule 11.04 to this Agreement through a
vote of the PTO AC as set forth in Section 11.04(a)(iii)(D), without the consent of the ISO, and may submit such amended Agreement to the FERC under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act.



(F) Supporting Votes. Each PTO that has a minimum of
one (1) percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of all the PTOs at the time of the applicable PTO AC meeting shall have a single Supporting Vote. The Individual Votes of any group of two or more PTOs that each have an Individual Vote
of less than one (1) percent may be combined and voted so that if the combined Individual Votes of such PTOs are equal to or greater than one (1) percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of all the PTOs at the time of the applicable PTO
AC meeting, such combined Individual Votes shall be counted as a single Supporting Vote. Subject to a sufficient number of Publicly-Owned PTOs executing this Agreement, as of the Operations Date the combined Individual Votes of all of the
Publicly-Owned PTOs is expected to be greater than one (1) percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of all the PTOs. In the event that the combined Individual Votes of all of the Publicly-Owned PTOs as of the Operations Date is greater than
one (1) percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of all the PTOs, if at any time after the Operations Date, all of the Publicly-Owned PTOs have Individual Votes of less than one (1) percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of all of the
PTOs due to the addition of new transmission assets and the depreciation of existing transmission assets, then the combined Individual Votes of all of the Publicly Owned PTOs shall nonetheless be counted as a single Supporting Vote.

11.06, 11.08, 11.17, 11.19(d), and Article I, as it applies to the foregoing sections. Absent the agreement of the Parties to any proposed change hereof or an amendment hereof pursuant to Section 11.04(a), with respect to changes to the
remaining provisions of this Agreement proposed by a Party, a non-party or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission acting sua sponte, the standard of review shall be that provided under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act.



(d) Notwithstanding the Parties rights under
Section 3.04 hereof, neither the ISO nor any PTO shall propose to modify or amend the ISO OATT nor any other tariff, rate schedule, procedure, protocol, or agreement applicable to the ISO or the PTOs in any manner that would limit, alter, or
adversely affect the rights and responsibilities of the non-proposing Parties under this Agreement or that would otherwise be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement unless: (i) the PTOs and the ISO have entered into a prior written
agreement to make corresponding modifications to this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.04, or (ii) if corresponding modifications to the provisions of this Agreement enumerated in Section 11.04(c) above are required, the
proposing Party also requests FERC to find (or FERC has already so found) that the corresponding modifications are required under the public interest standard of review under the Mobile-Sierra Doctrine or (iii) if corresponding
modifications to the remainder of the Agreement are required, the proposing Party also requests FERC to find (or FERC has already so found) that the corresponding modifications are required under the standard of review under Section 206 of the
Federal Power Act.

PTOs pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.05 shall be referred to herein as Additional Participating Transmission Owners;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, Independent Transmission Companies shall not be deemed to be Additional Participating Transmission Owners hereunder. Notwithstanding Section 11.04 or
any other provision contained herein to the contrary, Additional Participating Transmission Owners may become parties to this Agreement without any consent or approval of the other PTOs and without any amendment to this Agreement, except that this
Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 11.04(a)(iii)(E) if an unaffiliated transmission utility from outside the Control Area becomes or is about to become an Additional Participating Transmission Owner.



11.06 Integration Charges.Each Additional Participating
Transmission Owner that enters into this Agreement after the Operations Date shall pay upon joining or shall promptly reimburse the ISO and each affected PTO for (a) all incremental costs, expenses and charges (including those incurred by the

Schedule 3.09(a)



Planning and Expansion  Participating Transmission Owner Rights and Obligations



1. PTOs Rights and Obligations to Build and Associated Conditions Including Cost
Recovery:



1.1 The following provisions shall apply to any New
Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade designated in the ISO System Plan other than a Merchant Transmission Facility except as provided in Section 1.3 of this Schedule:



(a) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, government regulations and approvals, including requirements to obtain
any necessary federal, state or local siting, construction and operating permits; the availability of required financing; the ability to acquire necessary rights-of-way; and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 1.1,
each PTO shall have the obligation to own and construct (or cause to be constructed) any New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade that is designated in the ISO System Plan as necessary and appropriate for system reliability or economic
efficiency. The PTO may enter into appropriate contracts to fulfill any obligations associated with the ownership and construction of such New Transmission Facilities or Transmission Upgrades.



(b) Each PTO subject to the obligation to build New Transmission Facilities
and Transmission Upgrades under Section 1.1 (a), shall have the right to own and construct (or cause to be constructed) any New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade located within or connected to its existing electric system which is
included in the ISO System Plan, other than a Merchant Transmission Facility. This right shall not affect any rights that an entity may have to construct a Merchant Transmission Facility in response to a need identified by the ISO in the ISO
Planning Process.



(c) (i) Each PTOs assumption of an
obligation to build New Transmission Facilities and Transmission Upgrades under Section 1.1 (a) shall be subject to the right of such PTO to recover, pursuant to appropriate financial arrangements and tariffs or contracts, all prudently
incurred costs associated with a New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade that has been included in the ISO System Plan, plus a return on invested equity and other capital.



(ii) If a PTO incurs costs associated with a New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade that has been
included in the ISO System Plan, such PTO shall have the right, by filing in accordance with Section 3.04 of this Agreement, to recover all of its costs associated with such New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade that are prudently
incurred or prudently committed to be incurred, including costs prudently incurred or prudently committed to be incurred by such PTO in connection with the planning, design, engineering, permitting, procuring and other preparation for construction,
and/or construction of the New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade, plus a return on invested equity and other capital.



---

(d) If a New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade is included in an approved ISO System Plan and
the ISO has indicated that the PTO is to commence planning, designing or constructing such New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade, then a PTO that incurs costs in order to implement the ISO System Plan (and satisfy its obligation to build
hereunder) by commencing to plan, design or construct such New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade shall be permitted to recover all of its prudently incurred costs as set forth in Section 1.1(c) even if the ISO subsequently
determines that the New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade is no longer required and removes it from the ISO System Plan, notwithstanding any contrary FERC policy or rule relating generally to the recovery of the costs of abandoned plant.



(e) If a New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade
included in an approved ISO System Plan is not constructed because any of the conditions set forth in this Section 1.1 have not been satisfied or for any other reason, the ISO shall submit a report to the FERC addressing such non-construction,
which report shall include a report from the PTO responsible for the planning, design or construction of such New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade.



1.2 The PTO shall promptly seek siting and any other required regulatory approvals for which such PTO is designated as the appropriate entity to construct and own or
finance facilities included in the ISO System Plan. If requested by the PTO, the ISO shall undertake reasonable efforts (consistent with its technical judgment) to assist the PTO in obtaining required regulatory approvals for New Transmission
Facilities or Transmission Upgrades included in the ISO System Plan and approved by the ISO. The assistance may include the provision of testimony, witnesses, and similar assistance. The ISO shall not, in any manner, be precluded from similarly
assisting, at its discretion, other projects that address a need identified by the ISO in the ISO System Plan.



1.3 The ISO shall ensure that the ISO Planning Process includes opportunities for state regulatory authorities, including the agency with authority over the retail electricity rates of a PTO with the obligation under
Section 1.1(a) to build a New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade, to provide their views to the ISO with respect to need for the New Transmission Facility or Transmission Upgrade.



2. PTO Obligations:



2.1 Each PTO shall support the planning process as described in the ISO OATT and any interregional planning coordination. As requested by
the ISO, such support may include conducting any necessary studies, including system impact studies and facilities studies for the PTOs Transmission Facilities, assisting in the performance of such studies or any additional studies, and
supplying any information and data reasonably required to prepare a ISO System Plan or to perform transmission enhancement and expansion studies.



---

2.2 Each PTO shall make reasonable efforts to provide information and support in response to the ISOs requests
within the ISOs requested time frames and shall comply with all deadlines set forth in the ISO Planning Process, as specified in the ISO OATT.



2.3 Each PTO shall comply with the ISOs Planning Procedures (which are supplemental to the ISO Planning Process, as specified in the ISO OATT), provided that any
modifications to existing Planning Procedures and any new Planning Procedures shall be developed in accordance with the process set forth for the development of new or modified Planning Procedures in Section 3.09(b) to the TOA.

alternate representative to serve as a member of the PTO AC with authority to act for that PTO with respect to actions taken or decisions made by the PTO AC.



a. Initial Representatives. Within thirty (30) days of the Operations Date, each PTO shall appoint its representative and
alternate and provide written notice thereof to the other PTOs and to the ISO. Subsequent to the Operations Date, an entity that becomes a PTO pursuant to Section 11.05 of this Agreement shall appoint its representative and alternate and
provide written notice to the other PTOs within thirty (30) days after becoming a PTO.



b. Change of or Substitution for a Representative or Alternate. A PTO may at any time, upon providing written notice to the other
PTOs and to the ISO, designate a replacement representative or alternate. Any designated member of the PTO AC, by providing written notice to the Chair of the PTO AC, may also designate a substitute to act for him or her with respect to any matter
specified in such written notice.



3. Officers. At the
initial meeting of the PTO AC, a Chair and Vice Chair from different companies shall be elected among the PTOs representatives on the PTO AC. The term of office for the Chair and Vice Chair shall be one year, or until succession to each office
occurs as provided herein. Except as provided in Section 4, at each annual meeting, the Vice Chair shall succeed to the office of the Chair, and a new Vice Chair from a different company as the new and outgoing Chairs shall be elected.



4. Vacancies. If the office of the Chair becomes vacant
for any reason, the Vice Chair shall succeed to the office of the Chair and a new Vice Chair from a different company shall be elected at the next regular or special meeting to serve the remainder of the term; provided that if the remaining term is
less than six months, the new Chair and Vice Chair shall serve for the remaining term plus an additional term of one year. If the office of the Vice Chair becomes vacant for any reason, a new Vice Chair from a different company as the Chair shall be
elected at the next regular or special meeting and shall serve out the term of the Vice Chair whose office became vacant.



5. Duties of the Officers. The Chair shall (1) call and preside at meetings of the PTO AC; (2) cause minutes of each meeting to be taken
and maintained; (3) cause notices and agendas of all meetings and minutes of the prior meeting to be distributed as set forth below; and (4) carry out such other responsibilities as the PTO AC shall assign or as may be specified in this



---

Agreement. The Vice Chair shall preside at meetings of the PTO AC if the Chair is absent for any reason, and shall otherwise act for the Chair at the
Chairs request.



6. Meetings. The PTO AC shall
hold meetings no less frequently than once each calendar quarter as scheduled by the Chair. At the initial meeting, one of such regular meetings shall be designated as the annual meeting, at which officers shall be elected. The matters to be
addressed at all meeting shall be specified in a written agenda provided in the notice distributed pursuant to Section 7 hereof.



7. Notice of Meetings. Written notice and agendas for a meeting shall be distributed by the Chair by facsimile or email to the PTOs
representatives and any designated alternates and to the ISO not later than ten (10) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that meetings may be called on shorter notice as the Chair deems necessary to deal with an emergency or to meet a
deadline for action; provided further that no vote shall be taken on any matter at any meeting or special meeting without at least three days prior written notice to the PTOs representatives of the matter to be voted upon unless the
representatives of the PTOs agree unanimously to waive this minimum notice requirement. The Chair shall include in the agenda for the meeting any matters that one or more PTOs request to be included.



8. Special Meetings. A special meeting of the PTO AC may be called at
any time by two or more unaffiliated PTOs having combined Individual Votes exceeding twenty five percent of the aggregate Individual Votes of the PTOs at the time of the proposed special meeting; provided that the Chair shall schedule such special
meeting at a time and location convenient to the representatives (but no more than ten days after the request for the meeting) and shall issue an agenda setting forth the issue or issues to be considered at the behest of the PTOs requesting the
special meeting no less than five days before the scheduled date thereof.



9. Attendance. Regular or special meetings may be conducted in person or by telephone as authorized by the Chair or pursuant to rules adopted by the PTO AC in according with the voting procedures set forth in
Section 12 below. Each PTO shall be represented at a meeting by its representative or alternate, or a duly-designated substitute representative. A PTO shall also have the right to designate another PTO to vote on such PTOs behalf at a
meeting by proxy provided to the Chair in advance of the meeting. Any PTO choosing not to participate in a meeting pursuant to one of the methods described in this section 9 shall be deemed to have given its proxy to the Chair to vote on the
non-participating PTOs behalf.



10. Open Meetings.
All meetings of the PTO AC shall be open to all PTOs that are signatories to this Agreement and each such PTO shall receive timely written notice of a meeting.



11. Cost of Meetings. Each PTO shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred for its representative or alternate to attend any meeting. The
PTOs shall share the costs incurred by the host of any meeting of the PTO AC in proportion to their Individual Votes.



---

12. Manner of Acting. Actions taken by the PTO AC with respect to amendments to this Agreement
shall require the support of the number of votes specified in Section 11.04(a)(iii)(B), (C), or (D) of the Agreement as applicable.



13. Individual Votes. For all purposes under Section 11.04(a)(iii) and this Schedule 11.04, the Individual Votes of Non-Affiliated
PTOs shall mean the number of votes accorded to each PTO at the time of the applicable meeting pursuant to the following formula: Each Individual Vote shall be equal to the average of the net book value and the gross book value, as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for electric utilities, of the Transmission Facilities comprising the New England Transmission System of each PTO: (expressed in dollars and divided by one million (1,000,000)), as determined
on April 1 of each year on the basis of the book values of the Transmission Facilities as of the prior December 31, provided that the book value of the following facilities shall not be included in the calculation of such PTOs
Individual Votes:



a. The Merchant Facilities
of a PTO or a PTOs affiliate; and



b.
The transmission facilities comprising Phase I and Phase II of the Hydro-Quebec interconnection, the Highgate interconnection, and the MEPCO interconnection until such time as a PTO includes the capital investment for its ownership of these
transmission facilities in the ISO OATT in a manner such that the allowed return on equity for the PTOs ownership in these facilities is treated the same as the return on equity of the PTOs Transmission Facilities.



For those PTOs that are public utilities under the Federal Power Act, the values used to
calculate Individual Votes shall be those used in such PTOs Form 1 filing with the FERC. For any PTOs that are not required to make FERC Form 1 filings, the values used shall be consistent with generally accepted accounting practices for
public utilities with the objective that the Individual Votes of such non-FERC jurisdictional PTOs shall be calculated on a consistent basis with those of the FERC-jurisdictional PTOs.



14. Text of Amendments. The text of any amendment to be voted upon at a meeting of the PTO AC shall be distributed to
the representatives no less than fourteen (14) days the meeting at which the amendment is to be considered; provided that the representatives may agree to make changes to such amendment at such meeting.



15. Record of Voting. The Chair shall cause each PTO that is a
signatory to this Agreement to be provided with a written record of all votes (with the exception of straw votes or other informal votes) undertaken at a meeting of the PTO AC, including votes with respect to amendments to this Agreement pursuant to
Section 11.04(a) of this Agreement and votes with respect to joint PTO Section 205 filings pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement.
