      Organizations  excluding all supervisory, confidential and
      professional employees within the meaning of the National Labor Relations

              1.2

            	
              CONTINUITY OF
      SERVICE:  It is mutually recognized that the interest of
      the Company, the Union and the welfare of the general public, requires the
      continuous rendering of service by the Company, and the parties agree that
      recognition of such obligations of continuous service is imposed upon both
      the Company and its employees.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      Company, to facilitate the continuous performance of such service, agrees
      to meet with the Business Manager of the Union or his designated
      representative in reference to any matter within the scope of the
      Agreement, and agrees that it will cooperate with the Union in its efforts
      to promote harmony and efficiency among all of the employees of the
      Company.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      Union agrees that the employees covered by this Agreement, will not be
      called upon or permitted to cease or abstain from the continuous
      performance of the duties pertaining to the positions held by them with
      the Company. The Company agrees to do nothing to provoke interruption of
      or to prevent such continuity of performance as required in the normal and
      usual operations of the Company's property. It is mutually agreed that any
      difference that may arise between the above parties shall be settled in
      the manner hereinafter provided.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      Union agrees that the employees covered by this Agreement will
      individually and collectively perform loyal and efficient work and service
      and that they will cooperate in promoting and advancing the welfare of the
      Company and the protection of its service to the public at all
      times.

      of the Company's operations during the term of this Agreement, and the
      Company agrees that there will be no lockouts during the term of this
      Agreement.

              NON-DISCRIMINATION:  Neither
      the Company nor the Union will discriminate against any employee in the

      age, color, national origin, veteran status, disability or any other
      legally protected status.  It is understood that job titles used
      in this Agreement, which indicate the male gender, are not intended to

              1.4

            	
              LAWS:  It is
      understood and agreed that if mandatory laws or government rules or
      regulations applicable to or in conflict with any of the provisions of
      this Agreement become effective and binding upon the parties, such
      conflicting provisions of this Agreement shall be subject to modification
      as required and the parties shall meet and confer to determine mutually
      agreeable language to conform to the laws, government rules and/or
      regulations.

            

    

    

    If laws,
government rules and/or regulations hereafter enacted require changes in the
structure and/or services provided by the Company, then the Company and Union
will, upon mutual consent, reopen negotiations concerning the terms of this
Agreement that are directly affected by the changes.

              5.1

            	
              EMPLOYEE STATUS
      DESIGNATION: Employees shall be designated as temporary,
      probationary, or regular.

            

    

     

     

    TEMPORARY: Temporary employees are
eligible for 401(k) Plan after completing one year of service and having worked
at least 1,000 hours in that year.

     

     

    Temporary
employees are not eligible for Medical, dental, vision, prescription drug
program, LTD, Basic Life, Accidental Death Dismemberment (AD&D), Business
Travel Accident, Supplemental Life, Pension unless subsequently hired as a
regular employee, Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA), Health Care
Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA). All benefits for which temporary employees
may be eligible are set forth in this article.

     

    

    TEMPORARY (Applicable only in
Clerical): A temporary employee is one who is hired to fill a position
for which there is a temporary authorization. Typically, temporary employees are
not hired to perform duties normally assigned to regular employees; temporary
employees are hired to perform administrative functions to assist regular
employees; and are hired for a specific function and set period of time not to
exceed 1,040 hours.

    

    If a
temporary employee is offered and accepts a regular position, an adjusted date
of hire, crediting actual time worked, will be calculated.  If the
temporary employee has worked at least 1,040 straight time hours, without
cumulative absences of thirty (30) calendar days or more at the time the regular
position is awarded, the employee shall be eligible for all applicable benefits
on the effective date of the award.

    

    If a
temporary employee is offered and accepts a regular position that the employee
has not previously occupied while at the Company, the employee must complete a
probationary period to evaluate work performance.  If, however, the
employee has previously occupied the position being awarded, the employee shall
receive credit toward the probationary period for actual time worked in that
position.

    

    If a
TEMPORARY OR LEASED/AGENCY employee works at least 1,040 straight time hours
during a twelve month (12) period in the same temporary position, the position
will become authorized.  The selection for the position will be made
in accordance with Article 7, Seniority and Promotions.

    

    The
Company will endeavor to provide the Union with a list of temporary and
leased/agency employees and hours worked.

    

    TEMPORARY (Applicable only in T&D
& Generation): (Does
not apply to T&D UDC or Mapping classifications) A temporary employee
is one who is hired to fill a position for which there is temporary
authorization. If a temporary employee is offered and accepts a regular
position, an adjusted date of hire, crediting actual time worked, will be
calculated. If the temporary employee has worked at least 1,040 straight time
hours, without cumulative absences of thirty (30) calendar days or more at the
time the regular position is awarded, the employee shall be eligible for all
applicable benefits on the effective date of the award.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              If
      a temporary employee is offered and accepts a regular position that the
      employee has not previously occupied while at the Company, the employee
      must complete a probationary period to evaluate work
      performance.  If, however, the employee has previously occupied
      the position being awarded, the employee shall receive credit toward the
      probationary period for actual time worked in that
    position.

              If
      an employee works at least 1,500 hours during a twelve (12) month period
      in the same temporary position, the position will become authorized and
      the employee will be offered regular status in that
    position.

            

    

    

    PROBATIONARY:  A
probationary employee is one who is hired to fill an authorized full-time or
part-time position. Full-time probationary employees shall be eligible for
benefits the first of the month following the date of hire. Part-time
probationary employees shall be eligible for benefits in accordance with this
agreement.

    

    This
language is not intended to conflict with the six (6) month probation
period.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              During
      the probationary period, the employee may be terminated at the discretion
      of the Company as long as the termination is not discriminatory and is not
      for the purpose of keeping jobs filled with probationary employees.
      Probationary employees who have not satisfactorily completed a formal
      departmental training and appraisal program may, at the discretion of
      supervision, have their probationary period extended by up to three (3)
      months.  Supervisors shall not extend the probationary period if
      they do not have a formal training and appraisal program in place or have
      failed to use those programs.  No later than two (2) weeks prior
      to the completion of the first six (6) months, the supervisor must notify
      the employee and the Union Business Manager in writing, if the
      probationary period will be
extended.

off

              If
      the employee's combined absences, during the probationary period, are for
      a period greater than the employee's combined actual work time, the
      employee shall be terminated.  The transfer of a probationary
      employee from one job to another without interruption of work time shall
      not be considered a break in employment.  At the end of the
      probationary period as defined above, the employee will become a regular
      employee and will rank in seniority from the original date of
      hire.

      employee is one who has completed a probationary period and is in an
      authorized full-time or part-time
position.

            

    

    

    RETURN TO BARGAINING UNIT:
A member of the bargaining unit being transferred to a non-represented
position due to the lack of Bargaining Unit work shall retain Company seniority
for all purposes including layoff, if the employee is returned to the bargaining
unit within one (1) year of the initial transfer.

    

    Any
employee who bids and accepts a MPAT position within the Company and for any
reason returns to the bargaining unit in a full-time regular position shall have
an adjusted hire date crediting regular hours worked with the Company for
purposes of Company seniority after five (5) years of completed service in a
Bargaining Unit position. This language is not intended for any classification
that is organized by the Union or granted voluntary recognition by the
Company.

              5.2  

            	
              APPLICATION REFERRAL:
      The Company recognizes the Union as a valuable source for employment
      referrals, due to the mutual interest in the profitability of the
      Company.  As such, when additional employees are needed to do
      work which comes under this Agreement, the Company will indicate its
      requirements, relative to knowledge, skills, and abilities, and will give
      the Union an equal opportunity to refer applicants for
      employment.  The Company retains the right to evaluate each
      candidate and make the final hiring
decision.

            

    

    

    
      	
              5.3

            	
              TEMPORARY LAYOFF
      PROVISIONS:  In recognition of the competitive nature of
      the utility business, innovative solutions are required when unforeseen
      challenges present themselves.  Accordingly, there may be
      operational circumstances that would permit the temporary layoff of
      employees for short-term periods of time, out of line of seniority, on a
      voluntary basis.  These provisions are detailed in Exhibit IV
      (TEMPORARY LAYOFF PROVISIONS) of this
Agreement.

              DEFINITION OF
      QUALIFIED:  For purposes of defining "qualified", as used
      in this Article, the definition shall be that an employee is qualified to
      perform any position, in the CBA, which the employee has previously
      occupied at the Company.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              NOTIFICATION:  If
      it becomes necessary for the Company to layoff regular employees due to
      lack of work, the Company shall give affected employees as much notice as
      possible; but in no event shall employees receive less than twenty-one
      (21) calendar days notice of layoff.  Where temporary, part-time
      and probationary employees are involved, no notice of layoff is
      required.

            

    

    

    SENIORITY:  Layoff
in all cases due to lack of work will be determined by Company seniority within
the classification affected by the layoff.  If two (2) or more
employees have the same Company seniority date, the following process will be
used for breaking the tie:  Alphabetically by Hired Last Name ... if
last names are the same, then First Name ...if last name and first name are the
same, Middle Name; if last name, first name and middle name are the same, month,
day of birth, and year will be used.  Employees who are to be laid-off
will be permitted to displace a less senior person in any classification for
which they are qualified, or may be qualified with minimal
training.

    

    RETURN TO BARGAINING UNIT:
A member of the bargaining unit being transferred to a non-represented
position shall retain Company seniority for all purposes including layoff, if
the employee is returned to the bargaining unit within one (1) year of the
initial transfer. Employees who leave employment for any reason and return to
the bargaining unit within 12 months or less will have their time bridged for
seniority, vacation, sick leave, and benefits. There will be no probationary
period.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              FOUR (4) YEAR
      QUALIFIER:  Any MPAT employee of the Company who accepts
      a position in the bargaining unit will establish a new date of seniority
      for the purpose of future layoffs, except as defined
      above.  This date will reflect the day in which these employees
      accept such a position and will be effective for four (4) years. If there
      is a reduction in classifications in the bargaining unit, these employees
      will use the above-mentioned date as their seniority date for the purpose
      of this reduction or layoff.  After four (4) years of service in
      the bargaining unit, any employee impacted by this language, will be
      credited with all Company seniority for the purposes of reduction in
      classification or layoff.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              RECALL:  In
      the event of a recall, the Company shall provide notification to affected
      employees by certified mail to their address of record.  Such
      employees must keep the Company informed of the address where they can be
      reached.  Recalled employees must report to work no later than
      fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the certified letter was
      received.  Employees who do not report to work within fourteen
      (14) days from the date the letter was received will be considered a
      voluntary resignation of employment.  Employees will only be
      considered for recall to the classification from which they were laid-off,
      unless they make a written application within fourteen (14) calendar days
      from the date of notification of layoff, to human resources, for any other
      position for which they are qualified.  Applications that do not
      meet this time frame will only be considered after all timely applications
      have been honored.  Employees must submit a written notice to
      human resources to rescind their application for consideration for
      previously held positions prior to formal notification of return to
      work.  Any employee who refuses a recall to any requested
      position will be considered voluntary resignation of employment and will
      waive all recall rights to any other position.  Employees who
      have displaced a less senior person in any classification shall be given
      an offer to return to their former jobs if the vacancy is in their former

              TEMPORARY
      RECALL: In the event of a temporary recall, in accordance with
      Article 4.3 (Contracting Work), an employee may decline such temporary
      recall without waiving their rights for recall to a regular position,
      provided the temporary assignment is for less than ninety (90) days. If an
      employee accepts a temporary assignment, all benefits will be reinstated
      upon return to work and they will have recall rights for one(1) year from
      the date of any subsequent layoff. This right does not expire until the
      employee has returned to work or refused an offer to return to work. Any
      subsequent layoff will not create a liability for an additional severance
      benefit in accordance with this
Article.

            

    

    

    EMPLOYMENT
STATUS:  Any regular employee who is laid-off due to lack of
work has a right to replace any part-time or temporary employee within (5)
working days after notification of layoff, provided the regular employee is
qualified to perform the duties of the position filled by the temporary
employee.  If a regular employee is laid-off because of lack of work
and is subsequently offered and accepts the first recall for employment within
one (1) year after layoff, the employee shall resume the status of regular
employee and shall be credited with Company seniority previously
accrued.  Employees who are recalled in a classification previously
held, or for one in which they are qualified, will not be required to serve
another probationary period and will be eligible for benefits
immediately.  However, employees who leave the service of the Company
due to voluntary severance in accordance with this
Article, or layoff and who are re-hired after one (1) year from the date of
layoff or severance shall not be credited with Company seniority at the time of
re-employment and shall be required to serve a new probationary
period.  Upon completion of five (5) years of subsequent service, an
adjusted date of hire will be calculated crediting actual time worked with the
Company.  This date will be used for the purposes of Company seniority
and all related benefits.

    Enhanced Severance &
Retirement Bridge Program: Employees are eligible for the “enhanced
severance & retirement bridge program” options specified below if they are
determined to be no longer required due to displacement as a result of sale,
divestiture, merger, bankruptcy or any other business event as defined by the
Company. Affected employees who are covered under the traditional retirement
plan component of the Retirement Plan and have 85 points (age plus years of
benefit accrual service) at the time of their displacement will be eligible for
severance pay, if they choose to retire in lieu of exercising their “bumping
rights”.  The 85 point provision does not apply to affected employees
covered under the cash balance plan component of the Retirement
Plan.

    Employees
may be offered a non-comparable position (defined as requiring relocation of
greater than a 35 mile radius and/or a wage reduction):

    Retirement Bridge Option
(applicable only to Traditional Retirement Plan Component):

    

    For
affected employees covered under the traditional retirement plan component of
the Retirement Plan, if an affected employee who achieved eighty (80) points (in
combination of age and benefit accrual service at the time they are displaced,
the affected employee will not have to reach the minimum age 55 requirement to
be eligible to retire upon the displacement under the traditional retirement
plan component or for post retirement medical benefits for which the affected
employee is eligible. The affected employee’s retirement benefit under the
traditional retirement plan component will be reduced by 5% per year for each
year under age 62.

    

    Example:

    An
affected employee who is covered under the traditional retirement

    plan
component of the Retirement Plan and is age 49 with 31 years of
benefit

    accrual
service (for a total of 80 points) at the time he/she are displaced would
be

    eligible
to “retire” and receive post retirement medical benefits for which they are
eligible.

    

    Alternatively,
an affected employee who is covered under the traditional retirement plan
component of the Retirement Plan may add the following schedule of points to
either their age or years of service, or a combination thereof, to affect their
retirement eligibility. The employee must achieve a minimum age of 55 (including
points) with at least ten (10) years of service to be eligible to retire under
the traditional retirement plan component and receive post retirement medical
benefits.

      points

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              to
      their years of service, which gives them 85 points. This qualifies them
      for an

              The
      Retirement Bridge Option is not applicable to employees covered under the
      cash balance plan component of the Retirement Plan.  Eligible
      employees can select only one option – either Severance or Retirement
      Bridge. Employees who are eligible to retire without using the Retirement
      Bridge Program (and employees covered under the cash balance plan
      component) are still eligible for severance pay. If and employee declines
      both the Enhanced Severance and Retirement Bridge Program options, they
      will be eligible for consideration under Article 5.4 “bumping
      rights”.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      severance calculation will apply with one (1) week per year with a minimum
      of one (1) week severance, i.e. a one-year employee would receive two (2)
      weeks of severance pay. Rehire rights will be limited to one (1)
      year.  The Company will provide a list of affected employees and
      listings of job openings as they occur. The Union will be responsible for
      monitoring the program. When an employee exercises Article 5.4 “bumping
      rights”, the affected employee (bumped employee) will start at the
      “placement” step of the enhanced severance and retirement bridge
      program.

      are required to work overtime within the eight (8), ten (10), twelve (12)
      hour period immediately preceding their scheduled starting time, according
      to the employees assigned shift, shall be entitled to time off with
      straight time pay equal to time worked during this time

      should an employee be required to work during this period, he shall
      receive straight time for all time worked during his rest period in
      addition to his rest period pay.

      SCHEDULES (Applicable only in T&D and Generation): The right to
      establish working schedules and methods of shift rotation for employees,
      to assign individuals to schedules and to make changes in schedules, rests
      with the Company.  Whenever the Company assigns an employee to a
      schedule that is different than the schedule they are regularly assigned
      and such assignment is expected to last ninety (90) calendar days or more,
      the following conditions shall
apply:

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              NOTIFICATION
      (Applicable only in T&D and Generation): Employees
      will be given as much notice as possible and in all cases, at least
      twenty-four (24) hours and prior to the end of their last regular
      shift.  In this notification, the employee will be informed of
      the hours of work, including the days off and meal periods if applicable,
      work location, expected duration of the shift if other than indefinite,
      estimated composition of the work force, and the type of the shift
      (regular day, fixed shift, or rotating).  The Company will limit
      days off to days inclusive of or in conjunction with Saturday or Sunday
      providing that such schedules will not interfere with the continuous
      rendering of service by the Company. If the Company fails to satisfy the
      twenty-four (24) hour notification requirement, the premium for the first
      five (5) days of the new shift will be extended until the notification
      requirement has been satisfied.

              VOLUNTEERS
      (Applicable only in T&D and Generation): When new
      shifts are announced, the Company will permit affected employees to
      volunteer for these assignments.  The highest Company seniority
      will be used to select from the volunteers and these employees will not
      receive a premium for their first five (5) days of this new
      assignment.

      QUALIFIED
      (Applicable only in T&D and Generation): The least
      senior, qualified employee in the classification affected, may be
      assigned.  Any employee so assigned will receive a premium of
      time and one-half (1 1/2) for the first five (5) days of this assignment
      for all hours worked outside of their previous
  schedule.

              RIGHT OF
      ASSIGNMENT
      (Applicable only in T&D and Generation): The Company
      may assign employees to these schedules for operational efficiency
      purposes.  Any employee so assigned will receive a premium of
      time and one-half (1 1/2) for the first five (5) days of this assignment
      for all hours worked outside of their previous
  schedule.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              SHIFT
      DIFFERENTIAL
      (Applicable only in T&D and Generation): The appropriate shift
      differential, if any, shall apply immediately to all hours worked for
      those who volunteer for these shifts. For those employees paid a premium
      for the first five (5) days of such an assignment, the shift differential
      will apply beginning on the sixth day of the assignment, or the first day
      on which the premium is not paid.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              RETURN TO ORIGINAL OR
      OTHER SCHEDULE
      (Applicable only in T&D and Generation): Employees,
      who are assigned to a new schedule and are returned to their original
      schedule before five (5) days have elapsed, will be entitled to the
      premium mentioned above for the five (5) day period.  Employees
      assigned to a second, new schedule during the initial five (5) day premium
      payment period will receive an additional five (5) days of premium from
      the date the new schedule begins.

            

    

    

    Example
#1

    Employees
who receive four (4) hours of premium per day who are returned to their former
shift after only two (2) days would continue to receive this premium for three
(3) additional workdays.

    

    Example
#2

    Employees
who have worked only two (2) days of a new schedule and are notified they will
start a second new schedule on the fourth day, will receive eight (8) days of
premium pay (three (3) for the first schedule and five (5) for the
second).

    

    Example #3 (Applicable only in
Generation)

    Employees
who are assigned a new schedule during their regular work schedule are entitled
to premium pay as outlined in Article 6 for the next forty (40) regular straight
time hours.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              TRAINING
      EXCEPTIONS: The Company may, for the purposes of training only,
      change schedules without incurring the premium penalties mentioned
      above.  The Company will notify all employees as far in advance
      as possible, but not later than the end of their last scheduled work day
      in the week prior to such training.  This notification will
      detail the nature, location, and duration of the training.  If
      such notification is not given, and an employee is called at home and
      informed of a change in schedule for training purposes, this employee will
      be paid time and one-half (1 1/2) for the first two (2) days of the
      training for all hours worked outside of their normal
      schedule.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              TRAVEL TIME FOR OUT OF
      TOWN TRAINING:  Any employee who is required to travel
      out of town on a normal day off or after normal working hours for the
      purpose of Company training, will be paid actual driving time to and from
      the training site.  When flying to such training, employees will
      be paid one (1) hour from their home to the airport, actual flying time to
      the destination, and one (1) hour from the airport to the
      hotel.  All compensation for such travel time will be at a
      straight time rate and will not be considered time
  worked.

            

    

    

    SCHEDULE PREFERENCE
AGREEMENTS (Applicable only in T&D and Generation):  The
Company recognizes that in departments where multiple schedules exist, there may
be a desire to create a mechanism for movement between such schedules, while
protecting the operational efficiencies of the organization.  To
satisfy these mutual interests, departments are encouraged to create shift
preference Agreements, which will define the terms and conditions for the
transfer from one schedule to another.  Under no circumstances, would
such transfers create premium pay liability in accordance with the provisions of
this Article.  Each schedule preference Agreement will be created
through labor/management meetings within the affected work group and will be
acknowledged by memorandum of Agreement between the Company and the
Union.

      days, the Company shall post such job vacancies or new jobs on the Company
      Intranet, or at www.NVEnergy.com, and on reader boards* throughout the

      will provide an increase to the employee. Employees thus assigned a rate
      step above the starting rate will not advance to a higher step until they
      have served the time indicated by the assigned step. Should no rate in the

    CBA.

      with this Article shall be employed on the job to which they were promoted
      or transferred for a reasonable trial period not to exceed ninety (90)
      calendar days.  If, following the trial period, they are still
      unable to perform the job to which they are promoted or transferred, they
      shall be returned to the former job classification they held or to another
      job classification of similar requirements and the previous rate of pay,
      as determined by the Company.

              7.9  

            	
              INTRA-DEPARTMENTAL WORK
      LOCATION CHANGE: Employees desiring to change work location within
      the same sub-department and classification shall submit a work location
      change form to the appropriate department head. Through labor/management
      meetings, departments shall develop procedures for work locations
      changes.

            

    

    

    (Applicable
only in Generation): The transfer will
be awarded to the most senior eligible employee within the classification.
Successful candidates will agree to a six (6) month trial period with associated
goals and measures, mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Union. At three
(3) months the Company shall present the transferred employee with an evaluation
of his/her progress thus far. The Company will be responsible for providing any
and all assistance available to the employee in order for them to become
proficient in this time period. If at the end of the evaluation period the
transferred employee is unable to perform the work, the employee will be
returned to the location and classification from which they transferred. The
next senior qualified employee requesting a transfer will be given the same
opportunity. Employees hired after February 1, 2002 will follow article 7.3
Selection Criteria and Article 7.8 prior to being granted an intradepartmental
transfer. The most qualified individuals will be offered the opportunity first;
when all factors are substantially equal seniority will prevail. Successful
candidates will agree to a ninety (90) day trial period with associated goals
and measures.

      EMPLOYEES: Previous employees, who are rehired as a regular
      employee, one year after the date they left the Company (as regular
      employees), shall not be credited with Company seniority at the time of
      re-employment and shall be required to serve a new probationary
      period.

            

    

    

    When the
employee has completed five (5) years of subsequent service, in a full-time
regular position, an adjusted hire date will be calculated, crediting regular
hours worked with the Company for purposes of Company seniority and all related
benefits other than retirement benefits in which case the Plan document

    This
agreement is separate and not intended to conflict with Article 5.4 of the

              8.2  

            	
              TIME
      LIMITATIONS:  The Company and the Union recognize the
      grievance process as an effective tool in resolving differences in the
      work place. Once timely notification of a grievance has been given, the
      Union and Company may mutually agree to extend the time
      limitations.  However, it is in the interest of both the Company
      and the Union to expedite the process and encourage the timely resolution
      of the issue.  Failure to adhere to the established timelines by
      either party will result in a procedural forfeit. If the Company fails to
      process the grievance in a timely manner the Union would be awarded the
      remedy requested as long as such request was, (i)
      reasonable,  (ii) consistent with the violated article or
      articles, and (iii) applicable only to the actual Grievant or Grievants.
      If the Union fails to file or process the grievance in a timely manner,
      then the grievance and the remedy requested would automatically be waived
      and forfeited. All procedural forfeits will be considered non precedent
      setting and shall not be considered in the arbitration or the
      consideration of any other
grievance.

            

    

    

    The Union
and Company, by mutual Agreement, may elect to bypass certain steps, due to the
nature of the grievance.

    

    Except by
mutual Agreement to extend the time limitations, or as otherwise provided
herein, an arbitrator shall not have the authority to excuse a failure by the
Union, the Company or the aggrieved employee to comply with the time limitations
set forth, regardless of the reason given for such failure.

    

    
      	
              8.3  

            	
              GRIEVANCE
      PROCESS:

            

    

    NOTIFICATION:  When
a dispute arises relative to the administration of the provisions of this
Agreement, the employee and/or Union Steward must complete a grievance form
citing the article or articles allegedly violated by the Company and submit it
to the appropriate supervisor for signature (with an electronic copy to the
Human Resource Manager) no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the
grievance arises.  The time period to file a grievance shall start
from the first day the Company can show that the Union or an employee affected
by the Company’s action knew or should have known of the situation.

    

    It is in
the best interest of both parties to keep the same Steward involved from start
to finish.  The Company will make a reasonable effort to use the same
Steward throughout the process.

    

    After
each step in the process, the Union shall officially sign the grievance form,
verifying that their interests have been satisfied or to pursue resolution at
the next step.

    

    STEP ONE (GRIEVANCE MEETING
– SUPERVISOR):  The highest level supervisor or their designee
over that workgroup shall schedule a meeting with the grievant and steward
within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of the grievance
form.  The grievant and the supervisor will define interests and work
on resolving the issue in a manner satisfying those interests.  If the
issue is not resolved at step one (1), the Supervisor will refer the grievance
to the next step, accompanied by any and all pertinent documentation gathered
during the initial investigation, with the reason or reasons for denying the
grievance within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the step one (1)
meeting.

    STEP TWO (GRIEVANCE
MEETING—HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER)  Within twenty-one (21)
calendar days after receipt of the Step 1 answer, or in the case of a
termination, twenty-one (21) calendar days after notification of the termination
decision, if the Union and/or the employee want to pursue the grievance, the
Union must notify the Human Resource Manager of the decision to pursue the
grievance and gives the grievance to the Human Resource Manager.  The
notification must be sent via certified mail and electronic mail.  The
Human Resource Manager or their designee shall schedule a meeting with the
grievant, steward, supervisor  HR Partner and the Business Manager or
their designees within  twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of
the grievance form from the Union.  The Company and Union shall review
all information provided, conduct further investigation if necessary. If the
grievance is not settled at the step two (2) meeting, the Company will
communicate its position in writing within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the
step two (2) meeting.  This written notification will be sent via
certified mail and electronic mail.

    

    STEP THREE
(ARBITRATION):  Within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt
of management’s Step 2 response, the Union may request arbitration by delivering
a written notice (sent via certified mail and electronic mail) to the Human
Resource Manager of its intent to arbitrate the dispute.  If the Union
does not respond within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of the Step 2
response, the issues involved in the grievance will be considered resolved and
the matter closed.

    

    Within
fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the notice of intent to arbitrate,
the parties will request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to
furnish a list of seven (7) arbitrators primarily from the southwest region of
the United States from which the arbitrator shall be selected.  Such
selection shall be accomplished by the Union and the Company striking one (1)
name from the list in turn until only one (1) name remains.  Each
party has the right to strike one complete list.

    

    TERMINATIONS

    In
recognition of the significance of terminations, arbitration relative to
termination grievances shall be expedited whenever possible.  In this
regard, termination grievances must proceed directly to step two (2) of this
procedure.  However, if either the Company or the Union fails to
process the grievance in a timely manner, the Arbitrator shall have the
authority to excuse such failure if the Arbitrator finds the failure has a
reasonable basis and did not result in a disadvantage or prejudice to the other
party.  Unless mutually agreed to extend the time limitations in
writing, termination grievances should be arbitrated within six (6) months of
the termination date.

    

    SCOPE OF
ARBITRATION

    The
arbitrator’s decision shall be submitted in writing and shall be final and
binding on all parties to this Agreement.  The cost of the arbitrator
and the cost of necessary expenses required paying for facilities and recording
of the hearing of cases shall be borne equally by the Company and the
Union.  The arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify, amend,
alter, add to, or subtract from any provision of this Agreement.

    In
addition to the designated Company holidays, eligible employees shall observe
one (1) floating holiday in accordance with the provisions of Article
10.4.  It is understood that the one (1) floating holiday does not
apply to the Generation 12 hour shift or 36 for 40 shift
agreements.

    

    
      	
              10.4

            	
              FLOATING HOLIDAY: An
      employee may observe a floating holiday on any day the employee desires so
      long as a seven-day notice has been given regardless of operational or
      other needs. For the purpose of this article, the calendar week begins
      Sunday and ends Saturday. Should an employee be called in or be required
      to work on a previously approved “holiday”, the employee shall be paid the
      applicable overtime rate, except if both the employee and supervisor
      mutually agree to change the observance of the holiday. The floating
      holiday does not carry over from one payroll year to the next, and must be
      used in the payroll year in which it is
  received.

            

    

    

    
      	
              10.5

            	
              BANKED HOLIDAYS (Applicable
      only in T&D and Generation): If eligible employees are required
      to work on any day observed as a holiday and are authorized to work for
      the straight time hourly rate of pay, then an equal number of hours will
      be allocated to their banked holiday account.  With written
      consent of the Company, employees may carry over up to sixteen (16) hours
      of banked holidays to the next
year.

            

    

    

    
      	
              10.6

            	
              TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES:
      Temporary employees will not receive pay for holidays not worked but shall
      be paid the appropriate overtime premium for all time worked on
      holidays.

            

    

    

    
      	
              10.7

            	
              SICK LEAVE IN CONJUNCTION WITH
      A HOLIDAY: An employee who does not report for work either the day
      before and/or the day after a paid holiday, including the floating
      holiday, and who has not been excused by his or her supervisor for either
      the day before and/or the day after a paid holiday shall receive no pay
      for the holiday. The Company may require satisfactory evidence of an
      employee's illness or injury before holiday pay will be
      granted.  If the Company requires medical evidence, the Company
      must inform the employee of the requirement to provide evidence no later
      than two (2) hours after the employee's regular starting time on the day
      of the absence.  If required and the employee does not comply
      with this request, the employee will not be paid for the holiday or the
      day of absence, and may be subject to disciplinary
  action.

              ALTERNATIVE
      SCHEDULES:  As a result of the implementation of
      alternative work schedules, any issues associated with the provisions of
      Article 10 (Holidays) will be resolved by Memorandum of Understanding
      between the Company and the
Union.

in this scenario. In the beginning of the payroll calendar year of the second
year of employment, 80 hours of vacation will be front loaded to be used by
payroll year-end.

              VACATION
      ADJUSTMENTS:  An employee's vacation accrual shall be
      adjusted for all periods of leave of absence including leaves for illness
      or injury as defined elsewhere in this Agreement by reducing the number of
      vacation hours accrued in direct proportion to the number of hours of
      leave within the employee's anniversary year.  Such reductions
      shall be applied to any accrued and unused vacation available in the
      calendar year the adjustment is made, or when such adjustment exceeds the
      employee's available vacation, the excess shall be applied against the
      employee's next vacation accrual or the employee's final paycheck,
      whichever occurs first.  It is understood that no adjustment to
      vacation accrual will be made for sick leave or during the first sixty
      (60) calendar days of any disability
leave.

              VACATION
      BONUS:  In addition to the vacation accrued in accordance
      with the above schedule, (ARTICLE 11.3 ACCRUED VACATION) any employee who
      completes ten (10) years continuous service and each five (5) years of
      continuous service thereafter, shall be granted a vacation bonus of forty
      (40) hours in the year such term of employment is attained.  The
      vacation bonus will accrue, and may be taken subject to the provisions of
      this Article. Vacation bonuses will be determined based on the employee’s
      rehire date and not the original hire date which is used to determine the
      years of service the employee would receive based on Article (7.10 Bridged
      Time for Re-Hired Employees).

            

    

    

    
      	
              11.6

            	
              UNUSED
      VACATION:  All unused or carried over vacation time
      accumulated in the year of termination of employment after an employee's
      first anniversary date, up to and including the employee's last day
      worked, shall be paid at termination of employment, at the employee's
      current base rate.  This does not apply to the vacation bonus
      when the employee has not completed the minimum service
      specified.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Example:

            

    

    An
employee terminates employment in June, the employee will only receive vacation
pay for six months of that year; i.e. the employees’ vacation allotment is 120
hours a year at time of termination he will be eligible for 60 hours of pay
provided he hasn’t used any vacation.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              It
      is understood that employees may not carry vacation time over to the
      following year without the written consent of the Company. This does not
      apply to Article 11.2 (Vacation First Two (2) Calendar Years of
      Employment).

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              A
      regular employee who has been laid off for lack of work and is recalled
      within one (1) year, who has in excess of one (1) year Company seniority,
      shall accrue vacation in accordance with Article 11.4 (VACATION
      ADJUSTMENTS).

            

    

    

    
      	
              11.7

            	
              DEPARTMENTAL
      POLICIES:  Each department will develop standards and
      procedures for scheduling vacations, which, at a minimum comply with

    Sick
Leave / Disability

    

    

    INTRODUCTION

    The Union
agrees to share the responsibility in protecting the sick leave plan from abuse
by any of its members, recognizing that the plan is intended to provide pay
coverage under situations of actual need.

    

    MEDICAL
ATTENTION

    Sick
leave may be used for obtaining medical information or treatment including exams
or treatments for care of the eyes or teeth of eligible employees. Such absences
should be approved in advance where possible and limited to the time necessary
for treatment, examination or recovery.

    

    
      	
              12.1

            	
              ELIGIBILITY: Full-time
      employees shall be entitled to accumulate sick leave with pay at the rate
      of eight (8) hours of sick leave for each month
  worked.

            

    

    

    
      	
              12.2

            	
              NOTIFICATION AND
      VALIDATION:  The Company may require satisfactory
      evidence of an employee's illness or disability before sick leave will be
      granted. If an employee abuses the sick leave provisions of this Agreement
      by misrepresentation or falsification, the employee shall restore to the
      Company all sick leave payments received as a result of such
      abuse.  An employee must notify their supervisor or a member of
      management, or see that their supervisor is notified, as soon as it is
      apparent that the employee will be unable to report for
      work.  The employee must provide this notification before the
      beginning of the normal workday.  The employee should notify the
      supervisor as far in advance as possible of the expected date of
      return.  Lack of notification without a reasonable explanation
      will result in denial of sick pay
benefits.

            

    

    

    
      	
              12.3

            	
              EXCLUSIONS AND
      EXCEPTIONS.  Employees shall not be entitled to sick
      leave while on vacations (except as provided in Article 11.9 HOSPITALIZED
      WHILE ON VACATION), while temporarily laid off by the Company, during the
      period of notice of severance of employment, upon severance of employment,
      or while receiving disability payments or industrial
      compensation.

            

    

    

    
      	
              12.4

            	
              SICK LEAVE BONUS:
      Employees who are eligible for sick leave in accordance with
      Article 12.1 (ELIGIBILITY), who use no more than two hundred twenty (220)
      hours of sick leave each five (5) years, shall be granted a bonus of five
      (5) days vacation in addition to that granted under the provisions of
      Article 11.3 (ACCRUED VACATION), each five (5) years based on the
      following considerations:

            

    

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              On
      January 1, 1987, and January 1, of each fifth year thereafter, the sick
      leave records of those employees with hire dates prior to August 1, 1981,
      will be audited. Those employees who have used no more than two hundred
      twenty (220) hours of sick leave during the five (5) year period
      immediately preceding the audit will be granted five (5) days vacation to
      be taken within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the
      audit date and in accordance with the provisions of Article 11
      (VACATIONS).

            

    

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              For
      employees hired after July 31, 1981, their sick leave records will be
      audited as of the first day following the completion of five (5) years and
      six (6) months of service and each fifth (5th)
      year following the initial audit. Those employees who have used no more
      than two hundred twenty (220) hours of sick leave during the five (5) year
      period immediately preceding the audit will be granted five (5) days
      vacation to be taken within the next twelve (12) month period immediately
      following the audit in accordance with Article 11
    (VACATIONS).

            

    

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              All
      unused vacation accumulated under the provisions of this sick leave bonus
      plan shall be paid at termination of employment as provided under Article
      11.6 (UNUSED VACATION) except that no proration of vacation entitlements
      will be allowed for time periods of less than five (5)
    years.

              12.5

            	
              LIGHT
      DUTY:  Injured employees who are temporarily unable to
      perform the functions of their own jobs but are capable of performing
      light duty work shall be released for light duty assignments either within
      their own department or another area of the Company where work is
      available.  In the interest of effective case management, the HR
      department shall administer the light duty work
      program.  Employees working in light duty assignments shall be
      eligible for a percentage of their base pay according to the following
      schedule:

            

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              100%
      of base pay for the first ninety (90) calendar
  days

            

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              85%
      of base pay thereafter

            

    

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              The
      employee must have a light duty work release from a doctor. The employee
      may be allowed to work overtime if it is a continuation of their shift.
      Employees on light duty will not be eligible for callouts or scheduled
      overtime. Any employee who returns to work for regular duty must have a
      full duty release from a doctor. Employees will be eligible for a full
      light duty benefit after they have worked thirty (30) calendar days from
      the time of that release. If an employee returned to regular duty status
      works for less than thirty (30) calendar days and is then returned to
      light duty status for the same injury or illness, the employee will then
      continue with the original time
period.

            

    

    

    Employees,
who are injured on the job and are unable to perform their regular duties
indefinitely due to partial disability, may be subject to the provisions
outlined in Article 12.7 (JOB INCURRED INJURY/PARTIALLY DISABLED
EMPLOYEES).

    

    
      	
              12.6  

            	
                 JOB INCURRED
      INJURY/SALARY PROTECTION: Any employee who suffers a job incurred
      injury during the term of this Agreement and who is awarded temporary
      total compensation benefits as defined in the Nevada Industrial Insurance
      Act shall receive supplemental disability payments in such amounts and
      under such conditions as described
below:

            

    

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              The
      combined amount of disability compensation to which the employee is
      entitled under any federal, state, and local law, and from the Company
      shall not exceed the percent of the employee's weekly earnings, from the
      table listed below, where such earnings are computed at the employee's
      regular rate for a forty (40) hour, seven (7) day
  period.

            

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              Supplemental
      payments shall be made for the first day recognized by the Workers’
      Compensation Administration, and shall terminate with the date of the last
      day of disability recognized by the Workers’ Compensation Administration,
      as evidenced by the remittance portion of the disability check from the
      Workers’ Compensation Administration, which must be presented to the
      Company, for a maximum period of benefits as defined in the following
      schedule of benefits, for any one accident regardless of the various
      periods of disability which may be compensated for the one
      accident.

              For
      a job-incurred disability of less than five (5) days, which does not
      qualify for Workers’ Compensation Administration compensation, employees
      must use any accrued sick leave, and upon exhaustion of such accrued sick
      leave shall receive disability benefits as defined above. Any medical
      absence of five (5) days or more due to a work related injury or illness
      will be paid by the Workers’ Compensation Benefit; employees will not use
      accrued sick leave.

      section, shall forfeit his entitlement to all disability benefits and his

              JOB INCURRED INJURY/PARTIALLY
      DISABLED EMPLOYEES: When, in the opinion of the Company's doctor
      after consultation with the employees' doctor, regular employees with at
      least one (1) year of Company service cannot perform their regular work
      because of partial disability, but can perform other work, the following
      plan shall be applicable:

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Each
      case shall be considered on its merits by a committee consisting of the
      Business Manager of the Union and a HR Representative, and two (2)
      additional members, one (1) of whom shall be designated by the Union and
      the other by the Company. The committee shall have the authority to waive
      the seniority and bidding provisions of this Agreement in order to place
      the disabled employee, and it shall determine the seniority rights of such
      employee. This committee may call on anyone who may be able to furnish
      pertinent information.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              In
      no event will this Article apply if the employee's disability occurs while
      self-employed or working for others, for remuneration (except on Union
      business), or is involved in misconduct or an extreme violation of Company
      safety rules.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      panel shall complete an evaluation of the type of work the employee is
      able to perform or may be able to perform in the future. Evaluation of the
      employee's capabilities may include but shall not be limited to a physical
      examination and doctor’s reports, the employee's physical and mental
      ability, willingness to work, and
trainability.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Depending
      upon the evaluation of the employee and where necessary and practical, the
      Company shall provide job related education and training. The panel shall
      also conduct periodic review of these cases to determine if an employee's
      condition has changed; if the employee's condition has changed, the panel
      will reevaluate the employee's job
assignment.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      panel will determine the job classification which is appropriate for the
      work the employee is able to perform, as well as the proper pay rate,
      taking into account the new classification pay rate or the rate indicated
      on the following schedule, whichever is
greater.

    As long
as such employee is paid more than the maximum rate for the job classification
in which the employee is placed, the employee shall receive only fifty (50)
percent of any base wage increase or lump sum payment in lieu of a base wage
increase. Such fifty (50) percent shall be calculated on the employee's personal
rate at the time of the increase.

    

    The
placing of a disabled employee in a different job shall not constitute an
increase in the Company's normal work force. However, the Company may
temporarily increase the number of authorized positions to accommodate an
individual when a future vacancy is clearly defined and
recognizable.

    If the
committee is unable to place an individual in accordance with these provisions
they would be eligible for vocational rehabilitation training, and benefits
through the Workers Compensation Insurance. Upon this determination, the
individual's employment with the Company will be terminated, and any accrued
benefits will be paid at the time of termination.

    

    The
parties agree that the provisions of this Article may be suspended with sixty
(60) days written notice, documenting the reasons for this request and the
interests, which would need to be addressed for the continuance of this
program.

Company and Union discussed meter reading injuries relative to dog bites. The

      attending physician saying that she is under the doctor's care because of
      the pregnancy and is unable to work. The period of the disability shall
      begin at least three (3) days after the attending physician declares the
      employee disabled and shall end when the employee is no longer disabled as
      determined by the attending physician. Pregnant employees must use all
      accumulated sick leave before disability payments will start. A female
      employee will not be eligible for pregnancy related disability benefits
      except for her own disability. An employee who is on maternity leave and
      recovering from disability may request to have her leave extended for up

      disability will not create a new benefit eligibility until they have had a
      full-duty release and worked for thirty (30) calendar days from the time
      of that release. If an employee returns to short-term disability without
      satisfying this requirement, their short-term disability benefit will
      reflect their prior usage and continue until expiration of such
      benefits.

      result of a non-job-incurred injury, would be considered for any vacancy
      for which they are qualified. If awarded a position in accordance with
      Article 7 (SENIORITY AND PROMOTIONS), the employee would receive the
      appropriate rate of pay for that
position.

      employee that exhausts their short-term disability benefit and is unable
      to return to work at that time, may request one unpaid leave of absence
      for up to ninety (90) calendar days to allow time for further recuperation
      or possible vacancies for which they are qualified. Such employees will be
      allowed to continue their medical coverage at the appropriate COBRA rate
      for this period of time. If this individual is unable to return to work at
      the expiration of this unpaid leave, their employment with the Company
      will be terminated and all accrued benefits will be paid at the time of
      termination.

be incorporated, by reference, into the Agreement for purposes of establishing
the terms and conditions governing benefits for Medical, Prescription Drug,
Dental, Vision, Disability, Group Life Insurance, Flexible Spending Accounts,

permitted under law.

the term of this Agreement, the cost share for all options will be 82% Company
and 18% Employee; provided that the annual increase in the amount of Employee

employee will be subject to the PPO provisions and Non-PPO
penalties.

    

    COVERAGE OUTSIDE THE PPO
AREA:  Under the Self-Insured PPO, participants located in an
area thirty (30) miles or more from a preferred provider will be reimbursed for
services of a Non-PPO provider at the preferred provider scale, and will be
subject to the usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) charges for the area in
which the service is received.

              RETIREMENT

            

    

    The NV
Energy Retirement Plan, restated on January 1, 2000, is a defined benefit
pension plan bearing Plan No. 001 (“Retirement Plan”).  The Plan, as
amended, shall be incorporated by reference into this Agreement.  The
Company has, since January 1, 1976, funded all benefits under the Retirement
Plan.  All participants in the retirement plan, which was in effect
before January 1, 1976, have and are guaranteed all accrued benefits under that
retirement plan as computed on December 31, 1975.  Following is a
summary of certain Retirement Plan provisions, which will be in effect during
the term of this Agreement, provided that eligibility, coverage, benefits and
all provisions of the Retirement Plan shall be governed by the terms and
conditions of the Retirement Plan document.

    A.         CASH BALANCE
PLAN

    

    Effective
December 31, 2008, a cash balance plan component will be implemented under the
Retirement Plan.  The accrued benefits of all current participants
(other than participants who satisfy the “75 Point” requirement described below
and who elect to continue in the traditional retirement plan component) will be
converted to an account under the cash balance plan component to be maintained
for the participant.  All eligible employees who are hired or rehired,
or who transfer to a union position, on or after January 1, 2009, will be
covered under (and, if applicable, converted to) the cash balance plan
component.

    

    The
conversion from the traditional retirement plan component to the cash balance
plan component will be calculated by the actuary for the Retirement Plan based
on legal requirements and reasonable actuarial factors.  In connection
with the conversion, actuarial adjustments based on the “Rule of 85” under the
traditional retirement plan component will be applied to the traditional
retirement plan component accrued benefit as of December 31, 2008, only for
participants who satisfy the “Rule of 85” age plus benefit accrual service
requirements.  Thus, for participants who have not satisfied the “Rule
of 85” requirements at the time of the cash balance conversion, the actuarial
increase, if any, resulting from the application of the “Rule of 85” will be
effective at the time of retirement, assuming the “Rule of 85” requirements are
met at the time.  Additionally, although the interest factor used in
the conversion calculations will not include any “wear away” assumptions,
benefits will be subject to “wearing away” in the future, based on a number of
factors, including interest rates and time of retirement.

    

    Benefits
under the cash balance plan component will be funded entirely by the
Company.  A participant’s cash balance account will be credited with
contribution credits and interest credits.  Beginning January 2009,
contribution credits will be made monthly (the first contribution credit to be
made in February 2009).  For active participants on October 13, 2008,
the contribution credit rate will be equal to a specified percentage of the
participant’s eligible earnings as follows:

    

    Total Age +
Service                                                                Percentage

    The
contribution credit rate for new hires, rehires and transfers on or after

    Interest
credits will be subject to legal requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue
Code, and will initially be equal to the 30-year Treasury rate plus 75 basis
points with a minimum interest rate of 5.27%.

    

    Active
participants who, as of December 31, 2008, have at least 75 “points” (age +
vesting service) will have a one-time opportunity (during an election period
established by the Company) to elect to remain in the traditional retirement
plan component of the Retirement Plan.

    

    All
active participants who are employed on October 13, 2008, and continue to be
employed on January 1, 2009, will receive a one-time contribution in the amount
of $4,000 to be credited to their cash balance account.  Employees who
are eligible to elect to remain in the traditional retirement plan component,
and who so elect, will receive credit for the one-time contribution of $4,000 in
a special cash balance account which will be subject to the terms of the cash
balance plan component and will earn interest credits, but no contribution
credits.  This one-time contribution will be made as soon as
reasonably practical after January 1, 2009.

COMPONENT

    

    APPLICABILITY OF TRADITIONAL

traditional retirement plan component shall apply only to active participants
who, as of December 31, 2008, have at least 75 “points” (age plus vesting
service) and who elect (during a one-time election period established by the
Company) to elect to remain in the traditional retirement plan
component.  For employees, if any, who satisfy such requirements,
Retirement Plan benefits will be provided in accordance with the terms of the
traditional retirement plan component as set forth in the Retirement Plan
document.

    

    C.         GENERAL PROVISIONS
APPLICABLE TO CASH BALANCE PLAN COMPONENT AND TRADITIONAL RETIREMENT PLAN
COMPONENT

    

    Retirement
Plan provisions relating to eligibility, vesting, and benefit distributions are
set forth in, and governed by, the terms of the Retirement Plan
document.  During the term of this Agreement, such provisions shall
not be modified in a manner that results in a material diminution in the value
of Retirement Plan benefits for employees covered by this
Agreement.  The Company may amend the Retirement Plan in any manner
necessary to maintain its tax qualified status. disburse

      RETIREMENT MEDICAL

            

    

    During
the term of this Agreement, employees who are actively employed on October 13,
2008 and retire on or after age fifty-five (55) with at least ten (10) years of
service will be eligible for post-retirement medical benefits, subject to the
terms and conditions of the Welfare Plan.

    

    The
post-retirement medical calculation for the employer contribution is as
follows:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              a)

            	
              For
      employees who retire from the Company prior to reaching age sixty-five
      (65), the Company will contribute $260 per year of service.  If
      an employee retires prior to reaching age sixty-two (62) and has not
      obtained 85 points as outlined in the Retirement Plan, the $260 is reduced
      by 5%  for each year under age sixty-two (62).  Upon
      reaching age sixty-five (65), the $260 is reduced to $130 per year of
      service.

              For
      employees who retire from the Company on or after reaching age sixty-five
      (65), the Company will contribute $130 per year of
  service.

            

    

    

    Employees
hired, rehired or who transfer into the bargaining unit after October 13, 2008
will not be eligible for Post-Retirement Medical Benefits as set forth in b)

      TERM DISABILITY

            

    

    Long term
disability benefits will be provided during the term of this Agreement subject
to the terms and conditions of the Welfare Plan.

    

    ELIGIBILITY:  Employees
may purchase Long Term Disability (LTD) coverage on a voluntary basis through
payroll deduction.  Eligibility will be the 1st month
following date of hire.  Temporary employees are not eligible for this
benefit.  Payroll deduction will be taken on a post-tax basis the
first and second pay periods of each month.

    

    COVERAGE:  Coverage
is the lesser of 60% of monthly base earnings rounded to the nearest dollar or
the maximum disability benefit ($10,000 a month), less other income benefits as
named in the summary description.

    

    LONG TERM DISABILITY (LTD)
ELIGIBILITY AND OPEN ENROLLMENT PROCESS:

    

    The
eligibility period and enrollment process associated with Long Term Disability
(LTD).  The Agreement currently states (in Article 13.8), “The Company
will provide a long term disability (LTD) plan, to extend disability benefits at
a reduced rate upon termination of benefits described in Article 12.6 (JOB
INCURRED INJURIES/SALARY PROTECTION) OR 12.8 (SHORT TERM DISABILITY BENEFIT)
ABOVE.  The employee through payroll deduction will pay for premiums
for such coverage.  All administrative expenses, exclusive of carrier
expense normally absorbed in the rates, will be borne by the
Company.  We are not proposing any changes to the language, only
administrative practice.

    

    For
existing employees, we limit the option to enroll or terminate participation in
the LTD plan to an annual open enrollment window, consistent with the health
plan open enrollment window.  As consideration, we will change the
eligibility date from “completion of probationary period” to be “the first of
the month following date of hire” and eliminate the evidence of insurability
requirement for employees who enroll during the open enrollment
period.  All other exclusions and/or limitations would remain in place
pursuant to our contract with the LTD insurance carrier.

    

    Elimination
of the “evidence of insurability” requirement will allow an employee to enroll
in the LTD Plan during the open enrollment period without
question.  However, the insurance Company will not pay benefits for
any period of Disability caused or contributed to, or resulting from, a
Pre-existing Condition.  “A pre-existing Condition” means any Injury
or Sickness, for which the Employee incurred expenses, medical treatment, care
or services including diagnostic measures, took prescribed drugs or medicines,
or for which a reasonable person would have consulted a Physician within 3
months before his or her most recent effective date of insurance.”

    

    In any
event, the Pre-existing Condition Limitation will not apply to a period of
Disability that begins after an Employee is covered for at least 12 months after
his or her effective date of coverage.

              SHORT
      TERM INCENTIVE PLAN “STIP”

            

    

    Each
contract year during the term of this Agreement there will be up to a 4% Short
Term Incentive Pay (STIP) bonus potential.  The STIP will be paid upon
achievement of corporate and business unit goals as defined by the
Company.  The corporate and business unit goals will be identical for
all employees, including MPAT, and will change each year.  If the
corporate financial target is not achieved in a contract year, the STIP will not
be funded.  The financial target is the
trigger.  Extraordinary events affecting performance of a goal may be
considered by the CEO in determining the size and existence of the
award.

              14.1

            	
              SHORT TERM LEAVES:
      Provided the needs of the Company will permit, time off without pay for
      any period of thirty (30) calendar days or less may be granted employees
      upon a written application to their department head showing good and
      sufficient reason for such request.  This shall not be construed
      as a leave of absence without pay, as the term is used in this
      Agreement.  A leave of absence without pay is defined as a
      period of authorized absence from service in excess of thirty (30)
      calendar days.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.2

            	
              JUSTIFICATION: Leaves of
      absence shall be granted to regular employees for urgent substantial
      personal reasons, provided adequate arrangements could be made to take
      care of the employee's duties without undue interference with the normal
      routine of work.  Leave will not be granted if the purpose for
      which it is requested may lead to the employee's
    resignation.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.3

            	
              DURATION:  A
      leave shall commence on and include the first work day on which an
      employee is absent and terminate with and include the work day preceding
      the day the employee's leave expires.  The conditions under
      which an employee shall be restored to employment on the termination of
      his leave of absence shall be clearly stated by the Company on the
      application for leave form.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.4

            	
              SENIORITY: Except as
      otherwise provided herein, an employee's seniority shall not accrue while
      on leave without pay. However, an employee's status as a regular employee
      shall not be impaired by a leave of absence.  Any period of
      authorized absence without pay for thirty (30) calendar days or less shall
      not affect an employee's seniority status.  Upon return from
      leave, an employee shall return to regular
  status.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.5

            	
              UNION OFFICE: The
      Company shall, at the request of the Union, grant a leave of absence
      without pay for four (4) years or less to an employee who is appointed or
      elected to any office or position in the Union whose services are required
      by the Union. The seniority of an employee who is granted a leave of
      absence under the provisions of this Section shall accrue during the
      period of such leave. Upon mutual Agreement with the Union, the Company
      may extend the leave of the incumbent for additional terms up to four (4)
      years per request. The Company will provide medical coverage for this
      individual at the single coverage rate. This individual must make the
      established monthly employee contribution for health
    coverage.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              In
      the event such employee on leave for the Union Office decides to return to
      work for the Company, the employee will be returned to the position and
      location they previously occupied. In the event any employee is displaced
      by such move, the Company will adhere to Article 5.4 of the Collective
      Bargaining Agreement. However, it is understood that Recall and Temporary
      Recall language shall not apply to any contract in affect as of the date
      of such event. The Company will still retain the right to utilize
      contractors without Recalling such displaced
  employees.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.6

            	
              PUBLIC OFFICE: Employees
      elected or appointed to public office shall be granted a leave of absence
      for the duration of such appointment or election. Such absence shall not
      affect accrual rates for seniority purposes; however, sick leave and
      vacation shall not accrue during this period and group medical benefits
      shall be paid by the employee at the Company's current premium
      rate.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.7

            	
              MILITARY LEAVE: A leave
      of absence shall be granted to employees who enter the armed forces of the
      United States; however, any such leave of absence and the reinstatement of
      any such employee shall be subject to the terms of the Selective Training
      and Service Act of 1940, as amended.  Employees who are members
      of the armed services who are drafted and are called to active duty shall
      accrue Company seniority while they are absent on military
      duty.

              A
      regular employee, or a temporary employee who has worked more than one
      thousand forty (1040) straight time hours, who is a member of the armed
      forces reserve units, or the National Guard, and who is required to attend
      annual training sessions, will be granted a leave of absence for the
      duration of such assignment.  In addition, the Company will pay
      such employee the amount, if any, by which the remuneration received from
      the government is less than the base straight time earnings the employee
      would have received for the same period, not to exceed eighty (80) hours
      in a calendar year.  Such items as subsistence, travel, uniform
      and other allowances will not be included in computing the remuneration
      received from the government.  The Company will require
      satisfactory evidence of attendance and remuneration
    received.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.8

            	
              FAILURE TO RETURN FROM
      LEAVE: If employees fail to return immediately on the expiration of
      their leave of absence, or if they accept other employment while on leave,
      they shall forfeit the leave of absence and terminate their employment
      with the Company.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.9

            	
              FUNERAL
      LEAVE:  A regular employee, who has worked more than one
      thousand forty (1040) straight time hours, who is absent from duty due to
      a death in the employee's immediate family will be excused without loss of
      regular pay for the time required not to exceed forty (40) hours for
      making funeral arrangements and attending the funeral, provided the
      employee attends the funeral, furnishes a death certificate to the payroll
      department within thirty (30) calendar days.  Additional time
      may be taken to insure four (4) working days off; any hours in excess of
      forty (40) hours can be taken as vacation or personal time off without
      pay.  Immediate family shall mean the employee's grandparents,
      mother, father, stepmother, stepfather, brother, sister, spouse's
      grandparents, spouse's parents, spouse's children, spouse, son, daughter,
      or grandchildren, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law and
      sister-in-law.

            

    

    

    The
Company recognizes that there may be instances where the loss of a family member
other than those cited in this article causes the same amount of hardship on the
employee.  As such, subject to the approval of an HR Representative;
funeral leave may be granted for family members not listed in this article. When
deciding whether to grant the leave; the HR Representative will conduct an
analysis with a presumption that the leave is warranted.

    

    Furthermore,
this does not forego the responsibility for the employee to adhere to the
attendance policy. The employee must notify the immediate supervisor and
subsequently contact an HR Representative for approval.

    

    In
addition, the Union and Company agree after a complete and thorough
investigation, any employee found to have manipulated this article for other
than what it is intended for will be disciplined up to and including
termination.

      absent from work in order to serve as a juror or to report to the court in
      person in response to a jury duty summons or to report for jury
      examination, they shall be granted pay for those hours spent in such
      service during their regular work day or regular work week. Employees
      shall furnish the Company with a statement from an officer of the court
      setting forth the time and days on which they reported for jury duty and

  duty.

      member of a class action suit, and where such absence is in response to a
      legally valid subpoena or its equivalent, the employee shall be granted
      leave with pay for those hours for which the employee is absent from work
      during the employee's regularly scheduled working hours, provided the
      employee submits evidence of such service as a witness, detailing the time

              15.1

            	
              SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES IN
      EMERGENCY CONDITIONS: It is the intention of the Company that
      supervisors shall generally confine their activities to the supervision of
      the work or operations being performed. In certain instances, should
      emergency conditions arise, it may be necessary for them to perform those
      tasks normally assigned to bargaining unit employees. Under ordinary
      circumstances, such instances will very rarely occur, but since the safety
      of personnel or Company property may be in jeopardy, it must remain
      management's prerogative to determine when conditions require the actions
      described above.  In the same manner it is the intention of
      management that the "chain of command'' be adhered to, by both supervisors
      and bargaining unit employees. However, in the case of emergencies, there
      will be occasions when it may be necessary for a senior supervisor to
      bypass normal chain of command in order to prevent difficulties. Common
      sense and good judgment must be exercised in applying these
      paragraphs.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              For Facilities classifications
      only: Intended to expand Article 15.1. Due to the inherent nature
      of the facilities department, Management will have increased flexibility
      to provide necessary support and assistance without violating terms of
      this agreement.  This flexibility is not intended to replace
      bargaining unit employees.

            

    

    

    
      	
              15.2

            	
              NEW
      CLASSIFICATIONS/WAGES: Any new rate covering work normally
      performed by employees within the bargaining unit shall first be discussed
      with the Union and the rate established for such work shall be that
      mutually agreeable to both parties. When advances in technology or other
      changes that materially affect job duties and responsibilities, the Union
      and the Company will agree to revise job descriptions as
      needed.

            

    

    

    
      	
              15.3

            	
              REMOVING LETTERS OF
      DISCIPLINE: Any employee, who receives a written letter of
      reprimand which is a part of the personnel file maintained in the
      Company's HR office, may, after three (3) years from the date of such
      letter, request in writing to have the letter removed. Upon such written
      request, the Company shall remove the letter and return it to the
      employee.  If the behavior that warranted the letter has changed
      or been corrected, the employee's current supervisor can remove the letter
      from the employee's personnel file by documenting this change in behavior
      and providing written authorization to HR.  Letters of
      reprimand older than three (3) years will not be considered for purposes
      of placement, promotion or discipline.  Situations that require
      a review of an employee file will also prompt the Company to remove any
      letters of reprimand three (3) years or
older.

            

    

    

    
      	
              15.4

            	
              FACILITIES: The Company
      will provide on its premises clean, sanitary and reasonably comfortable
      rest and wash rooms, including first aid cots for female employees,
      together with a proper place for storing lunches carried by employees, and
      reasonably safeguarding employee's out-of-door clothing and necessary
      personal effects on the Company's property during the time employees are
      on duty. The Union agrees to cooperate with the Company in the maintenance
      of these facilities.

              FAMILY
      ISSUES:  The Company and the Union recognize that
      work/family issues will continue to be at the forefront of workplace
      activities. As such, the Company and the Union have agreed to address the
      issues of job sharing, telecommuting and other alternative work schedules
      or programs which allow both the Company and employee maximum flexibility
      without jeopardizing customer service. These issues will be addressed
      through labor/management meetings and may be initiated on a case-by-case
      basis.

              LABOR / MANAGEMENT
      MEETINGS: The Company and the Union agree to hold periodic meetings
      to discuss matters, which are covered by the Agreement. These meetings
      will be held on Company premises during work hours and shall be held as
      needed, with thirty (30) calendar days notification from either the
      Company or the Union.  The number of employee attendees who are
      covered by the Agreement shall be limited to the stewards and other
      employees reporting to the Company premises designated as the site of a
      particular meeting. Both the Company and Union recognize the value in
      formally convening to discuss issues that affect departmental policies,
      procedures, and collective bargaining provisions.  The Company
      and Union agreed to continue holding departmental labor/management
      meetings as a forum to clarify; address interests, and problem-solve
      solutions that mutually benefit all employees. The Company recognizes the
      value of participation and input from all its employees and the Union's
      facilitation of this process is critical to our mutual
      success.

            

    

    

    
      	
              15.7  

            	
              INCENTIVE PROGRAMS: The
      Company and the Union agree to discuss all incentive programs which are an
      addition to base wages.

            

    

    

    
      	
              15.8

            	
              PROJECT TEAMS /
      COMMITTEES: The prevalence of project teams/committees that require
      the specific skills and abilities possessed by employees in bargaining
      unit jobs is increasing each day.  The Company acknowledges that
      it must obtain agreement from the Union before assigning bargaining unit
      employees to any project teams/committees which are outside of the
      employee’s regular duties, particularly when the project team/committee’s
      task could affect the working conditions of employees represented by the
      Union. Any such assignment shall be staffed from qualified volunteers on a
      project by project rotating basis. The Company further agrees to notify
      the Union when assigning an individual bargaining unit employee to a
      special project which may last longer than 1040 hours. In addition, team
      member(s)’ wages and/or benefits are expected to be only those described
      in the current CBA. If the Company wishes to extend additional
      incentives/bonuses to bargaining unit employees on the team/committee, the
      Company will negotiate with the Union before extending any such offers to
      bargaining unit employee(s).

              Part
      of the Apprenticeship curriculum shall be the history of the IBEW, not to

              APPRENTICE/JOURNEYMAN
      RATIO: The ratio of apprentices to Journeymen shall not exceed one
      to three (1:3) or a major fraction thereof. The work performed by
      apprentices shall be assigned and reviewed by the appropriate working
      foreman or designated Journeyman, subject to the approval of the

              FIRST YEAR
      APPRENTICE:  An apprentice who has been in the
      apprenticeship for a period of less than twelve (12) months shall not be
      assigned any work which, in the opinion of the immediate supervisor, is
      hazardous.

      period of less than twenty-four (24) months, shall not work on conductors
      energized in excess of seven hundred fifty volts (750). After that period,
      and after successful completion of Hotstick School, the apprentice may
      work under the direct supervision of a Journeyman on all voltages, which,
      in the opinion of the immediate supervisor, would not create an undue
      hazard at that stage of the
training.

            

    

    

    APPRENTICE
LINEMAN:  An apprentice lineman who has completed at least

              The

      have been securely stored at all times. Properly
      secured tools that are stolen shall be replaced promptly by the Company.

      (Applicable only in
      T&D and Generation): When an employee performs welding work
      above ground floor or around energized electrical apparatus, there shall

              TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS:
      Wherever a vacancy occurs in any job classification, the Company may
      temporarily fill such vacancy by appointment for a maximum of forty-five
      (45) calendar days. Upon notification, that such appointment will last
      longer than forty-five (45) calendar days, the Company will fill the
      position with the qualified senior
volunteer.

            

    

    

    After
sixty-five (65) weeks from the date of the original vacancy, temporary
appointments will be filled following provisions of Article 7.3 Staffing
Vacancies.

    

    This article is not meant to circumvent
normal staffing guidelines.

    

    When an
employee relieves an employee of a higher classification for time worked, the
employee shall receive the rate of pay for the higher classification for the
time worked in the higher classification.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Represented
      Employees shall receive a 10% pay increase when temporarily appointed to
      the General Foreman classification.

            

    

    

    It is
understood that an employee temporarily appointed to the Lead Lineman
classification in “Transmission and Distribution – Lines Department” must abide
by these additional restrictions:

    

    
      	
              §  

            	
              Only
      work extension of shift

            

    

     

    
      	
              §  

            	
              Only
      accept trouble calls up to one (1) hour prior to end of
    shift

            

    

     

    
      	
              §  

            	
              No
      other overtime is permitted unless no other foreman is available for such
      overtime

            

    

     

    The
following restrictions will only apply if the Company has twenty-four (24) hour
coverage or more than two (2) shifts in any combination, or the Company
eliminates overtime and reduces schedules to only straight-time coverage. (i.e.
no extension of shift):

    

    An
employee will not be temporarily appointed to a higher classification when
employees of that classification who normally report for work at the same
location are able and available to do the work for which the temporary
appointment is intended.

    

    If a
shift employee, for reasons other than a scheduled vacation, is unable to report
to work, an employee (who is on the designated days off) from the same
classification, including relief employees in that classification, who normally
reports for work at the same location will be called by telephone to cover the
vacant shift. If an employee, who is on the designated days off, holding the
same classification who normally reports for work at the same location is not
available, the employee of the same classification who normally reports for work
at the same location on the previous shift will work half of the vacant shift
and the employee of the same classification who normally reports for work at the
same location on the shift following the vacant shift will work the remaining
half of the vacant shift. If for any reason these arrangements cannot be made,
the Company may temporarily appoint an employee to cover the vacant
shift.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        51

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    The
Company may temporarily appoint a shift employee for scheduled vacations,
provided that all overtime involved from such temporary appointment be worked by
an employee holding the classification who normally reports for work at the same
location from which the vacation was granted.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              It
      is understood that if the relief operator in Generation is available, that
      operator may be used to relieve as described under "Exhibit I
      (CLASSIFICATION DESCRIPTIONS)''.

    EXHIBIT
IV

    TEMPORARY
LAYOFF PROVISIONS

    

    

    The
following provisions shall apply relative to a temporary layoff, as referenced
in Article 5.4 (LAYOFF PROVISIONS):

    

    NOTIFICATION:  Should
the Company initiate a temporary layoff, affected employees shall be notified in
writing as soon as possible, and will have three (3) business days to indicate
their interest for consideration in the layoff.

    

    ELIGIBILITY:  Temporary
layoffs, out of line of seniority, shall be strictly voluntary.  If
there are more volunteers than needed within a classification, selection shall
be determined by highest Company seniority of the interested employees. If there
are no volunteers, the Company shall explore other alternatives that may satisfy
the temporary layoff situation.

    

    TIME FRAME:  A
temporary layoff shall be for the stated time period or less, as indicated in
writing at the time of notification. If, during the temporary layoff, the
Company recognizes that the layoff may extend beyond the original time frame,
employees in layoff status shall be given the option to extend or return to
work.  If the temporary layoff ends before the stated time frame,
employees will be notified immediately, and expected to return to work the next
day unless the Company approves other arrangements.

    

    PAY:  Employees
shall be paid approximately 70% of their current income, which includes income
received from unemployment compensation as a result of the layoff. The following
formula shall be used to calculate an employee's gross wages while on temporary
layoff:

    Base rate  x  40
Hrs.  x  70% -  Unemployment Income  =
Weekly Gross Wages

    

    For the
purpose of this calculation, the unemployment compensation amount will be
subtracted to arrive at gross wages even if the employee does not receive this
benefit.  The exception to this provision will be for the first week
of the temporary layoff, when employees will be required to serve a waiting week
for unemployment compensation.  For this initial week, employees will
be paid 70% of their base rate.

    

    VACATION: No adjustment to
vacation accrual shall be made during the first sixty (60) calendar days of a
temporary layoff.  However, once the sixty (60) calendar days period
has elapsed, an employee's vacation accrual shall be adjusted and treated as any
other leave, as outlined in Article 11.4 (VACATION
ADJUSTMENTS).  Employees in layoff status and unable to use their
vacation allotment for that year, the unused vacation shall be automatically
carried over to the next year.

    

    SICK
LEAVE:  Employees shall continue to accrue sick leave monthly,
as if they were working.  However, employees will not be eligible to
use sick leave or short-term disability during the period for which they are on
temporary layoff.

    

    HOLIDAYS: Employees shall not
be entitled to holiday pay while on temporary layoff.  The only
situation that would warrant holiday pay is if they began or were recalled from
temporary layoff during the week of a holiday.

    

    Example:

    If the
temporary layoff begins on Tuesday of a week with a Monday holiday, the employee
would receive holiday pay for that day.

    

    These
provisions do not apply to the floating holiday, as the employee would be
allowed to reschedule the day at a future time. If as a result of a temporary
layoff an employee is unable to schedule their floating holiday, they will be
allowed to carry this holiday into the following year.

    

    SENIORITY:  An
employee's seniority shall continue to accrue during the period of
layoff.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        56

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    BENEFITS: An employee’s
benefits shall remain the same during the period of layoff. Employee’s monthly
contribution will be deducted from these bi-weekly checks.

    

    PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:
Employees shall be eligible to indicate their interest in promotional
opportunities that may arise during the period of layoff. However, they must
individually assume the responsibility of meeting appropriate deadlines for
consideration.  Any employee awarded a promotion or transfer while on
temporary layoff, will be returned to work immediately.

    

    RECALL: Should the Company
need to recall employees in a specific classification prior to the previously
stated date; employees shall be recalled by Company seniority on a volunteer
basis. If there are no volunteers to return, inverse seniority will be used to
satisfy these requirements.  Any issues delaying an employee's return
to work will be addressed on an individual basis. However, the monetary benefits
associated with a temporary layoff will end on the date of
recall.

              OVERTIME:  In
      computing overtime, intermission taken out for meals served other than on
      the job shall be deducted, and any holiday or vacation paid in that pay
      period will be considered as time
worked.

            

    

    

    NO PYRAMIDING OF
OVERTIME:  The employee will only be entitled to the highest
single premium rate applicable to the work assigned by the CBA.  There
will be no pyramiding of overtime.

              OVERTIME EQUALIZATION:
      The Company will endeavor to distribute overtime work as evenly as
      possible among those employees qualified and desiring such
      work.  Each department will create policies and procedures for
      overtime equalization through labor/management meetings.  For
      purposes of distributing overtime, the Company will maintain and post
      overtime lists in each major sub-department office indicating time
      offered, time worked and other information for inspection by the employees
      and the Union.

              BI-LINGUAL
      REPRESENTATIVES: Employees in Customer Service who are designated
      as bi-lingual representatives shall be paid a thirty-dollar ($30) bonus on
      a bi-weekly basis.  This bonus will be paid when the employee
      uses sick leave or vacation, but will not be paid when the employee is on
      disability or using Workers Compensation. New hires will be offered
      bilingual positions with the understanding that they must pass the
      bilingual exam during the probationary period. If they do not pass the
      bilingual exam they will be terminated before the completion of the
      probationary period. Once employees are certified bilingual employees,
      they are not allowed to decertify and must remain in the bilingual shifts
      offered in Customer Service. Existing Customer Service employees may
      decertify bilingual status before the start of the next shift bid.
      Employees must wait a year to be certified again and held to this new
      agreement. Any new existing Customer Service employee that wants to become
      a certified bilingual employee will be held to this new agreement.

              TWO HOUR
      MINIMUM: Employees called out for overtime duty shall receive at
      least two (2) hours pay.  Employees called out who work into
      their regular shift shall be paid the appropriate overtime premium for at
      least two (2) hours and straight time for the remainder of the
      shift.  The two (2) hour call-out minimum applies but does not
      change the normal starting time.

            

    

    

    Example:

    An
employee who is called out one (1) hour before the shift would be paid two (2)
hours of double time and seven hours of straight time.

              SCHEDULED
      OVERTIME: In scheduling overtime work, a minimum of fourteen (14)
      hours notice is required, prior to the start of any overtime for a
      particular day, and before leaving the work site on a regular work day.
      Without this notice, such work will be considered as a call-out. It is
      understood that overtime, when worked as an extension of a regular shift,
      does not require such notification.

            

    

    

                          Example:

    An
employee assigned to a 7:00 am to 3:30 pm shift and held over for overtime and
is notified to work the next day  (his/her day off) at 7:00 am. If
notification is

    given in
the first two (2) hours of held over overtime, this overtime is considered
scheduled.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              CANCELING
      OVERTIME: A minimum of twelve (12) hours notice is required on
      canceling pre-scheduled overtime. When customer arrangements are involved,
      the Company must provide twelve (12) hours notice prior to the employee's
      next normal starting time. When such notice of cancellation of
      pre-scheduled overtime work is not given in accordance with the above,
      employees involved will be paid for two (2) hours at established overtime
      rates if they report and are retained for work. When such notice of
      cancellation is not given in accordance with the above, but employees are
      later notified of work cancellation, they will be paid for two (2) hours
      at established overtime rates. If they report and are not retained for
      work, they shall receive pay for two (2) hours at established overtime
      rates

              VEHICLE
      USAGE:  No employee shall be required to operate a
      personal vehicle in the course of employment as a condition of
      employment.  Employees shall be required to obtain a Nevada
      driver's license whenever operation of a Company provided vehicle is a
      requirement of the job.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Employee's

  expense.

      employees are assigned to work at an office other than their normal base
      reporting point, after they have already reported for work at their normal
      base reporting point, and no Company vehicle is available, they shall be
      compensated for use of their vehicles for the actual miles traveled from
      office-to-office as designated on the chart attached at the rate equal to
      the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) maximum mileage expense.  If
      they return home directly from that office, they shall not be compensated
      for the miles traveled from the office to their
  home.

              If
      employees report for work at an office other than their normal base
      reporting point directly from home, they shall not be compensated for the
      miles traveled from their home to the office nor from the office to their
      home.  Only those miles traveled from office-to-office are
      eligible for compensation.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Any
      employee who is authorized the use of a private vehicle during the course
      of his or her employment shall be provided liability protection under the
      terms of the public liability and property damage insurance policy
      maintained by the Company as if the employee were operating a
      Company-owned vehicle except that if the laws of the State of Nevada
      establish that the personal insurance policy of the employee shall be the
      primary insurance, then such consideration shall be first
      applied.  In the event of an accident involving an uninsured
      motorist where damages to the employee’s private vehicle are not
      recoverable from the responsible party, then costs of repairing such
      damage shall be reimbursed by the
Company.

              Full-time
      regular and part time (not temporary) employees in the Call Center and
      Commercial Offices will have the opportunity to complete a Shift/Location
      Preference Application form on a semi-annual basis, during the months of
      April and October.  These requests will be valid for the six (6)
      month period following the month in which the application is filed.
      Shift/location changes will be made on the basis of Company seniority
      between employees in the same classification; Lead Person, CSR provided
      that the employees are capable of interchanging while ensuring full
      protection of operational efficiencies under all circumstances and
      conditions. The Shift Bid committee shall consist of Union Stewards and
      Team Leaders. There shall be at least three (3) meetings, which consist
      of: preparation meeting, selection meeting and post
    meeting.

            

    

    

       Filling Vacancies

    When a
vacancy occurs, by reason of an increase or decrease in manpower requirements
due to a transfer, promotion, or termination, preference will be given to the
applicant with the longest Company seniority who has made application in
accordance with the above provisions.  The vacant shift, which is
created by moving the successful applicant, will be available for consideration
only to employees at that location.  A newly hired employee will fill
the final vacancy, created by any subsequent moves.

    Due to
the requirements of efficient operations, there may be circumstances where the
senior applicant cannot be accommodated and must remain on his/her
shift/location or be reassigned to a less desirable schedule.  In each
such instance, a meeting will be held with the applicant, a steward if
requested, the supervisor, the appropriate HR Partner and representative(s) of
the Union to discuss the need for such an assignment.  This meeting
will detail the Company’s concerns and describe a plan of action to correct the
situation. The Company will identify the timeframe the employee will be required
to remain on this less desirable schedule.  If the above stated
timeframe is to exceed six (6) months, a formal hearing will be conducted to
review and discuss related issues. Employees transferred to another
shift/location due to a reduction in departmental requirements may make location
preference within one (1) calendar week of the beginning of this new assignment
and such request will be considered timely until the next application
period.

       Probationary
Employees

    Probationary
employees will be assigned to shifts/locations for a minimum of six (6) months,
and will not have access to shift/location change provisions until the six (6)
month period has been satisfied and then only at the next application period or
if a vacancy occurs before the next application period, however their shift is
assigned based on classification seniority.

    

    Newly Assigned Employees:
Employees entering a new classification will be assigned to
shifts/locations until such time that the supervisor determines that they have
completed all of the necessary training, at which time they will be assigned
according to seniority in their classification to a vacant
shift/location.  They will then have access to the shift/location
change provisions at the next application period or if a vacancy occurs before
the next application period.  They may make application for
shift/location preference within one (1) calendar week of the time that their
training is completed and such request will be considered timely until the next
application period.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Temporary and Part-Time
      Employees: Temporary and part-time employees will not have access
      to shift/location change provisions until they assume regular status
      crediting actual time worked for purposes of this
      Agreement.  These employees will be eligible for consideration
      during the next application period. However shifts are assigned based on
      classification seniority for part time employees
  only.

            

    

    

    Hardship Requests: It is
recognized that, under certain circumstances such as serious home conditions or
ill health, it may become necessary for an employee to request a temporary
shift/location change. Such request shall be made in writing to the supervisor,
stating the reason for the request and the length of time for which the change
is desired. Consideration will be given on a case-by-case basis according to the
merits of such requests; and wherever practical, deserving applicants will be
temporarily transferred for a specific period as follows:

    

    Any
vacancy in the employee’s classification on the desired shift/location. If no
vacancy exists, the senior applicant for the shift to which the hardship
employee is currently assigned will be offered the opportunity to exchange
schedules for the duration of the hardship.  If there are no
applicants, another employee may voluntarily exchange schedules with the
hardship applicant for the requested length of time, if the exchange is
practicable under all circumstances. In the event there are no volunteers to
exchange schedules with the hardship applicant, the supervisor, a Labor
Relations Consultant and the Union Business Manager will discuss the merits of
such requests for possible resolution.

    

    Vacation: The Company
recognizes its obligation in accordance with Article 11.1 of the CBA relative to
vacation scheduling.  However, if an individual is granted a new
shift/location as a result of the April/October application process, his/her
previously approved vacation will be subject to availability on the newly
assigned shift/location.  Management will endeavor to accommodate the
original vacation request(s) whenever possible, but the employee assumes the
risk that their original vacation dates may not be available.

      which they are worked.

Labor Agreement, which may conflict or be inconsistent with the
program.

              DOUBLE TIME AND A
      HALF: Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the following
      situations shall require payment at two and one-half (2 1/2) times the
      regular established wage rate:

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              •

            	
              For
      all time worked in excess of sixteen (16) consecutive
    hours.

            

    

    

    BREAK PERIOD:
Employees entitled to pay at this rate will continue at this rate until they
have been released for a period of at least six (6) continuous
hours.  Any break of six (6) hours will be considered an interruption
of continuous work time.  It is understood that any employee may be
returned to work exactly six (6) hours from their most recent release,
satisfying the required break.  It is also understood that any
employee released for such a break may be called back to work before six (6)
hours have elapsed.

    

    MEAL PERIODS: Meal periods while
working overtime will not be considered as part of the six (6) hour break and
will not be considered time worked, unless employees are directed to work
through their meal period.  Employee's unpaid meal period which occurs
during regular work hours will be included in the computation of the six (6)
hour break, when this break is calculated from the end of the employee's last
regular shift.  Accordingly, an employee may be called out five and
one-half (5 1/2) hours from the end of their last regular shift without creating
a requirement for this rate.

    STRAIGHT TIME PAY:
Employees sent home for a six (6) hour break will not lose any straight time pay
for normally scheduled hours, as a result of such a break.

    

    Example

    Employees
assigned to a 7:00 am to 3:30 pm shift and released two (2) hours early so they
may have a six (6) hour break before a scheduled outage would be paid for the
two (2) hours at the straight time rate and this would satisfy the six (6) hour
break.

    

    Employees
must use any rest time pay accumulated as a result of an overtime assignment
before these provisions would apply. If an employee's accumulated rest time does
not cover the entire six (6) hour break, the employee will receive straight time
pay for any regularly scheduled hours not worked due to this break.

    

    
      	
              6.5

            	
              OVERTIME EQUALIZATION:
      (Does not apply to UDC or
      Mapping classifications) The Company will endeavor to distribute
      overtime work as evenly as possible among those employees qualified to
      perform such work. For the purpose of distributing overtime, the Company
      will maintain and post overtime lists in each sub-department indicating
      time offered and time worked. Each department will create policies and
      procedures (BY LOCATION, SHIFT – as defined by Article 6.1 AND
      CLASSIFICATION), for overtime equalization through labor/management
      meetings.

              TWO-HOUR
      MINIMUM:  Employees called out for overtime duty shall
      receive at least two (2) hours pay.  Reasonable travel time
      (defined below) to and from home will be considered as time worked for the

      appropriate overtime rate.

              Example
      #5

            

    

    Employees
called out who work into their regular shift shall be paid the appropriate
overtime premium for at least two (2) hours, which includes travel time to work
only.  This does not change the normal starting time for the purpose
of extending the shift.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              MULTIPLE
      CALL-OUTS: Employees called-out more than once in the twenty-four
      (24) hour period from midnight one day to midnight the following day shall
      be paid at least the two (2) hour minimum mentioned above for the first
      call. For subsequent calls, employees shall be paid for a one (1) hour
      minimum with the same travel time considerations mentioned above. For the
      purpose of this section, concurrent calls or successive calls without a
      break in work time shall be considered as a single
  call.

      hours notice is required, prior to the start of any overtime for a
      particular day, and before leaving the work site on a regular work day.
      Without this notice, such work will be considered as a call-out. It is
      understood that overtime, when worked as an extension of a regular shift,
      does not require such notification.

            

    

    Example:

    An
employee assigned to a 7:00 am to 3:30 pm shift and held over for overtime and
is notified to work the next day  (his/her day off) at 7:00 am. If
notification is given in the first two (2) hours of held over overtime, this
overtime is considered scheduled.

    

    CANCELING OVERTIME: A
minimum of twelve (12) hours notice is required on canceling pre-scheduled
overtime. When customer arrangements are involved, the Company must provide
twelve (12) hours notice prior to the employee's next normal starting time. When
such notice of cancellation of pre-scheduled overtime work is not given in
accordance with the above, employees involved will be paid for two (2) hours at
established overtime rates if they report and are retained for work. When such
notice of cancellation is not given in accordance with the above, but employees
are later notified of work cancellation, they will be paid for two (2) hours at
established overtime rates. If they report and are not retained for work, they
shall receive pay for two (2) hours at established overtime rates

    Letter of
Understanding

    

    Dear Mr.

    This
letter will document the Agreement between the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, Local #396, and Nevada Power Company relative to the duties
of IBEW Local Union #396 represented Crew Chiefs and Surveyors employed in the
Land Survey, Land Services Department.

    

    It is
agreed and understood that job assignments may be made whereby the

    Crew
Chief or Surveyor will be allowed to completed the assigned project from “field
to finish”. All such duties of said “field to finish” projects, normally
accomplished by Nevada Power Company MPAT employees, will be accomplished by the
represented employee with the help and aid of MPAT employees. No adjustments to
pay will be made.

    

    During
the times when a Crew Chief or Surveyor is performing duties other than field
duties, relative to these specific projects, they will under the direction of
the Lead Surveyor, coordinate their assigned on-going fieldwork with crew
members.  When an Instrument Technician is assigned duties normally
associated with Crew Chief or a Surveyor, the Instrument Technician shall be
up-graded with appropriate pay adjustments in accordance with the Collective
Bargaining Agreement.

    

    Performance
reviews will be made in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement with
respect to field performance only.

    

    This is a
non-precedent setting agreement and may be rescinded by notification in writing
by either party.

    4.3              CONTRACTING
WORK:

    In case
the Company should contract any type of work customarily
performed by bargaining unit employees, the Company shall, before awarding such
contract, advise the contractor that the work is to be done under not less than
the terms and conditions pertaining to hours and wages set forth in this
Agreement. Upon award of such contract, the Company shall notify the Union in
writing within thirty (30) calendar days of any and all contracts awarded of
such contractor and the nature of the work being performed. The Company will not
contract any of its construction and maintenance work while having available
competent employees to do such work. In the event the Company has employees on
layoff with recall rights, the Company will not establish contracts for work
that is customarily performed by such bargaining unit employees unless the
affected employees are not qualified to perform the work (as defined in Article
5.4 LAYOFF PROVISIONS), or the work requires the use of special construction or
other equipment which the Company does not possess. If the Company has employees
in layoff status who are qualified to perform work, which the Company intends to
contract, the Company may recall these employees for the term of the contracted
work without creating the liability for an additional severance in accordance
with Article 5 (STATUS OF EMPLOYEES) of this Agreement.

      time worked in excess of sixteen (16) consecutive
  hours.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              BREAK
      PERIOD:  Employees
      entitled to pay at this rate will continue at this rate until they have
      been released for a period of at least six (6) continuous
      hours.  Any break of six (6) hours will be considered an
      interruption of continuous work time.  It is understood that any
      employee may be returned to work exactly six (6) hours from their most
      recent release, satisfying the required break.  It is also
      understood that any employee released for such a break may be called back
      to work before six (6) hours have
elapsed.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              MEAL
      PERIODS: Meal periods while
      working overtime will not be considered as part of the six (6) hour break
      and will not be considered time worked, unless employees are directed to
      work through their meal period.  Employee's unpaid meal period
      which occurs during regular work hours will be included in the computation
      of the six (6) hour break, when this break is calculated from the end of
      the employee's last regular shift.  Accordingly, an employee may
      be called out five and one-half (5 1/2) hours from the end of their last
      regular shift without creating a requirement for this
  rate.

              STRAIGHT TIME PAY:
      Employees sent home for a six (6) hour break will not lose any
      straight time pay for normally scheduled hours, as a result of such a
      break.

            

    

    

    Example:

    Employees
assigned to a 7:00 am to 3:30 pm shift and released two (2) hours early so they
may have a six (6) hour break before a scheduled outage would be paid for the
two (2) hours at the straight time rate and this would satisfy the six (6) hour
break.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Employees
      must use any rest time pay accumulated as a result of an overtime
      assignment before these provisions would apply. If an employee's
      accumulated rest time does not cover the entire six (6) hour break, the
      employee will receive straight time pay for any regularly scheduled hours
      not worked due to this break.

            

    

    

    
      	
              6.5

            	
              OVERTIME EQUALIZATION:
      The Company will endeavor to distribute overtime work as evenly as
      possible among those employees qualified to perform such work. For the
      purpose of distributing overtime, the Company will maintain and post
      overtime lists in each sub-department indicating time offered and time
      worked. Each department will create policies and procedures (BY LOCATION,
      SHIFT – as defined by Article 6.1 AND CLASSIFICATION), for overtime
      equalization through labor/management
meetings.

            

    

    

    6.6              PAY PROVISIONS:

    PAY
DAYS:  Pay days shall be at biweekly intervals.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              WAGES:  The
      schedule of job classifications and wage rates, as mutually agreed to, are
      made a part of this Agreement, and are marked "Exhibits I and II"
      respectively.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Wages
      shall be paid at biweekly intervals on the Thursday following the close of
      the two-week pay period provided that if the regular payday falls on a
      holiday, payment shall be made on the preceding
  workday.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              SPECIAL PAY
      REQUESTS:
      The Company recognizes there will be circumstances such as weeks of
      vacation and vacation in association with holidays, which will create
      special requests of the payroll department.  Unless the
      situation is an emergency, all special checks will be limited to
      individuals who are absent for at least the Wednesday through Friday of a
      pay week.  Exceptions to this practice will require written

      overpayments made in error, will not be made unless the employee is
      notified prior to the end of the month following the month in which the
      check in question was delivered to the employee.  The Company
      and the employee will agree upon a schedule for
  re-payment.

      NOTICE FOR OVERTIME:

            

    

    SCHEDULED OVERTIME:
In scheduling overtime work preceding the employee’s next regular work day
(shift), the employee shall be given a notice of no later than thirty (30)
minutes prior to the employee’s regularly scheduled quit time. Without this
notice, such work will be considered as a call-out. It is understood that
overtime, when worked as an extension of a regular shift, does not require such
notification.

    

    CANCELING OVERTIME: A
minimum of twelve (12) hours notice is required on canceling pre-scheduled
overtime. When customer arrangements are involved, the Company must provide
twelve (12) hours notice prior to the employee's next normal starting time. When
such notice of cancellation of pre-scheduled overtime work is not given in
accordance with the above, employees involved will be paid for two (2) hours at
the appropriate overtime rate if they report for and are retained for work. When
such notice of cancellation is not given in accordance with the above, but
employees are later notified of work cancellation, they will be paid for two (2)
hours at the appropriate overtime rate. If they report and are not retained for
work, they shall receive pay for two (2) hours at the appropriate overtime
rate.

    Overtime:
Time worked in excess of forty (40) hours within a regular workweek shall be
considered overtime and will be paid for at one and one-half (1 1⁄2) times the
regular established wage rate except as otherwise provided in this article. In
computing overtime, intermission taken out for meals served other than on the
job shall be deducted. In computing overtime, any holiday not worked will be
considered as twelve (12) hours worked. In scheduling overtime work, a minimum
of twelve (12) hours notice, prior to the start of said overtime, but prior to
leaving the last shift shall be required; otherwise such work will be considered
as a callout.  It is understood that this excludes overtime when
worked as an extension of a regular shift.

    Call-Out:
Employees who are called for overtime duty shall receive at least two (2) hours
pay, and reasonable travel time to and from home will be considered as time
worked for the purpose of satisfying the two-hour minimum cited
herein.

    

    Double-Time:
Employees who are called for work on an observed holiday or who work anytime
during the one (1) day off period, on the last day of the two (2) day off
period, the second day of the three (3) day off period, or the fourth day of the
seven (7) day off period, shall receive double time for all time worked with an
overtime minimum of two (2) hours as provided in Article 6.7. Employees who are
called out for overtime work within the eight (8) hour period immediately
preceding normal workday\night shall receive double time for all time worked
during that period with an overtime minimum as provided above.

    

    Double-Time
and One Half / Continuation:  Employees shall be paid at the
double time and one half (21/2) rate of pay for all time worked in excess of
sixteen (16) hours. Employees who, under the provisions of this clause, would be
entitled to pay at the double time and one half rate will not have such right
nullified by an interruption of continuous work time of less than six (6) hours. (Any
break in continuous work time of six (6) hours or more will be considered to be
an interruption of continuous work time).

    

    
      	
              Under
      the provisions of this article, the employees may be sent home for a
      specified break and shall not lose any normal time pay for the regular
      time for the regular time which they are required to lose by reasons of
      such break.   (It is understood that employees on any such
      break may be called back to work). Meal periods will not be considered as
      an interruption of continuous work time and will not be considered as work
      time except when paid for by the Company. The meal period which, occurs
      during employees’ regular work hours, will be included in the computation
      of the break period.

            

    

    

    Canceling
Overtime: A minimum of twelve (12) hours notice is required on canceling
prescheduled overtime, or where customer arrangements are involved, twelve (12)
hours notice prior to the employee’s next normal starting time. When such notice
of cancellation of prescheduled overtime work is not given in accordance with
the above, employees involved will be paid for two (2) hours at established
overtime rates if they report and are retained for work.  When such
notice of cancellation is not given in accordance with the above, but they are
later notified of work cancellation, they will be paid for two (2) hours at time
and one-half (1 1⁄2).  If they report and are not retained for work,
they shall receive pay for two (2) hours at time and one-half (1
1⁄2).

    

    Multiple
Call-Outs: If an employee is called for emergency work more than once in
the twenty-four (24) hour period from midnight one day to midnight the following
day, minimum overtime compensation shall be paid for two (2) hours only for the
first call outside of such employee’s regular work hours on work days, or at any
time on his on-work days.  For subsequent calls, minimum overtime
compensation shall be paid for one (1) hour and travel time as herein provided.
For the purpose of this section, concurrent calls or successive calls without a
break in work time shall be considered as a single call.  If by reason
of a call, an employee works less than the minimum time and into regular work
hours, the minimum overtime provisions will apply into his regular work hours
and thereby postpone starting time.

    

    All
employees included in special or rotating schedules will receive the following
consideration: When an employee is
transferred from one schedule of work days or work hours to another schedule
provided, the schedule is an established schedule or shift for the employee’s
work group. The employee shall not be entitled to overtime compensation for work
performed during regular work hours of any day involved in the transfer,
provided that (a) employee has been notified of such transfer not less than
twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the starting time of the new shift or work
period; (b) employee has had a minimum of twelve (12) hours off between shifts
or work periods; (c) as a result of such transfer employee has not been required
to work more than forty (40) hours at the straight rate in any regular pay
period involved; and (d) employee has not been required to work more than one
(1) short change in the regular pay period involved, provided, however, that
such short change was not the result of a voluntary action on the part of an
employee, i.e., calling in sick, taking an unauthorized day off for personal
reason, etc.  (A short change is defined as a transfer from one
schedule to another with but twelve (12) hours off between shifts or work
periods).

    Meal
Times: When
working overtime before or after the regular shift, or when called out for work
after the completion of their regular shift, or when called out on the
employee’s regularly scheduled days off, or holidays, and such work is
continuous for one and one-half (1 1⁄2) hours or more, the Company shall provide
all meals unless the employee is released before meal time or the employee may
choose to receive the allowance. The normal meal times shall be one and one-half
(1 1⁄2) hours before the employee’s normal starting time, six (6) hours after the
normal starting time, fourteen (14) hours after the normal starting time, and
eight (8) hours before the normal starting time; and meals will be provided as
close to these times as circumstances of work will permit.

    

    Rest
Time: All employees who are required to work emergency overtime within
the eight (8) hour period immediately preceding their scheduled starting time
shall, after the emergency, be entitled to time off with straight time pay equal
to time worked.  This is not applicable to a callout or scheduled
overtime of three (3) hours or less immediately preceding the employee’s normal
starting time. If an employee is entitled to time off under above, such time off
which would normally begin at the start of the regular shift maybe taken during
the last part of the regular shift.  An employee shall not be required
to work during his rest period provided adequate relief is available, however,
should an employee be required to work during this period, he shall receive
straight time for all time worked during his rest period in addition to his rest
period pay.

    

    Shift
Differential: Seven (7) day coverage employees will be paid the shift
differential applicable to the shift under which any hours worked may fall.
Fixed shift employees will be paid their shift differential for all hours worked
on that day.

    Shift
premiums shall be payable only for hours actually worked and shall not be
payable for non-work time such as holidays, sick leave and
vacation.

    

    Holidays:
Regular employees and temporary employees with more than six (6) months
continuous service who are assigned to the THS schedule may be permitted to take
holidays off which fall on their scheduled work days; however, if they are not
permitted time off, they shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half (11⁄2) in
addition to the holiday pay for the time worked on such day during regular
working hours.

    Banked
Holidays: If a regular employee or a temporary employee with more than
six (6) months of continuous service is required to work on any day observed as
a holiday and agrees in advance of that observed holiday to work for the
straight time hour rate of pay rather than the premium rate of pay, then the
holiday pay of twelve (12) hours may be traded for 12 hours to be added to that
employee’s vacation entitlement for that calendar year.  No more than
thirty-six (36) hours may be acquired in this manner.

    When a
holiday falls on an employee’s regularly scheduled work day, or on an employee’s
regularly scheduled day off, the holiday may be observed on another work day
within the same pay period which maybe in conjunction with the employee’s
regularly scheduled days off, or any other day within that pay
period.  This accommodation must be by mutual Agreement between the
employee and the Company and scheduled as far in advance as
possible.  It is understood that if any employee requests that they be
excused on the fourth day of their four-day workweek, they will be compensated
with twelve (12) hours of straight time pay.  If the holiday falls on
an employee’s regularly scheduled day off, or the fourth day of the four-day
work week, and no other accommodations are made, the last scheduled,
non-overtime work day, immediately preceding the holiday, shall be observed as
the holiday for the purpose of this article.

    

    Vacations:
An employee’s vacation accrual shall be adjusted for all periods of leave of
absence without pay as defined elsewhere in this Agreement by reducing the
number of vacation days accrued in direct proportion to the number of days of
leave without pay within the employee’s anniversary year.  Such
reductions shall be applied to any accrued and unused vacation available in the
calendar year the adjustment is made, or when such adjustment exceeds the
employee’s available vacation, the excess shall be applied against the
employee’s next vacation accrual or the employee’s final paycheck, whichever
occurs first.  It is understood that no adjustment to vacation accrual
will be made due to use of paid sick leave.

    

    Vacation
periods shall normally commence on Monday except for employees whose workweek
starts on days of the week other than Monday; the vacation period shall commence
with the starting days of their respective workweeks.  However, by
prior arrangement with the employee'’ supervisor, an employee shall be allowed
vacation in increments of one shift or more on any day of the week, except where
prohibited by operations needs or where necessary relief cannot be provided, or
where payment of overtime to another employee would be required. If a holiday
occurs on a workday during an employee’s vacation, it shall not be counted as
one day of vacation.  The employee shall receive straight time pay for
the holiday as such.

    

    If an
employee assigned to the THS schedule, requests, and is granted vacation on the
first, second, or third day of their forty-eight hour work schedule, the
employee will have those hours considered as time worked for the purpose of
calculating their pay on the fourth day of that work schedule.  It is
understood that vacation granted for the entire week (i.e., forty-eight (48)
hours) or on the fourth day of the four-day workweek will be paid on a straight
time basis.

    

    Upgrade
And Overtime Scheduling: The Company may upgrade a qualified employee or
utilize a relief employee to provide coverage for a vacant shift due to a
scheduled or unscheduled absence provided such situation does not result in
overtime for any employee in a lower classification, or may elect not to cover
the shift when sufficient qualified personnel are available to perform the
required functions safely. If these arrangements cannot be made and it is
necessary to work employee overtime the following steps will be
followed:

    

    1.  An
employee, who is on his or her day off and will have at least twelve (12) hours
off between shifts, shall be called to fill the vacant shift in accordance with
the overtime list. Scheduled overtime shall be paid in accordance with Article
6.4, Overtime Pay. Callouts for coverage of unscheduled vacancies (i.e. sick
leave or family sick leave) shall be paid at double time (2X).

    

    2. The
Company may force the person that meets the requirements of step #1 above, to
come in and work the shift. Scheduled overtime shall be paid in accordance with
Article 6.4, Overtime Pay. Callouts for coverage of unscheduled vacancies (i.e.
sick leave or family sick leave) shall be paid at double time (2X).

    

    3. If
there is no employee available to accept the overtime offered, the
Company  shall offer overtime for a portion of the vacant shift to the
qualified employee lowest on the overtime list (if the supervisor determines
they can do so safely), provided no employee is required to work beyond sixteen
(16) hours. The company may divide the shift among multiple employees to avoid
working employees beyond sixteen (16) hours. Scheduled overtime shall be paid in
accordance with Article 6.4, Overtime Pay. Callouts for coverage of unscheduled
vacancies (i.e. sick leave or family sick leave) shall be paid at double time
(2X).

    4. If the
Company is still unable to cover the shift at this time, they may use whatever
option they choose, including using a member of Management to
cover.

    

    It is the
intent of the Company not to work employees assigned to the THS schedule beyond
their regularly scheduled work hours, however, all employees shall be expected
to respond to overtime assignments as necessary.

    

    It is the
intent of the Company not to work employees assigned to the THS schedule beyond
16 hours. However, it may be necessary to work employees past 16 hours when all
of the above steps are exhausted and the supervisor determines they can do so
safely.

    

    It is
understood that Article 7.4 TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS does not apply to 12-hour
shift schedule agreement.

herein provided for will not be paid to any employee for more than the first
four (4) work day period worked outside of regular work hours.

to work in maintenance and go from 12's to 10's while assisting maintenance with
required work. The following are the specifics:

    

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              The
      Company will provide seven (7) days calendar days notice. This will result
      in no monetary penalty to the Company. If the seven (7) days is not
      followed, then penalties will be handled as identified in the
      CBA.

            

    

    

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              With
      regard to overtime equalization, operations will be placed in their own
      classification for the purposes of overtime. This includes control
      operators, auxiliary operators, and assistant control operators.
      Operations will also be included on their respective overtime list for
      weekend coverage as long as it doesn't interfere with the scheduled
      maintenance work.

            

    

    

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              The
      hours that they have in their current OT pool will merely be moved over.
      This classification will be called after
MUT's.

            

    

    

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              Individuals
      will first be asked to volunteer. If we receive no volunteers, then we
      will use reverse seniority. This will be done by seniority by
      classification by crew.

            

    

    

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              The
      time frame/period for pulling employees from operations to maintenance
      will be throughout the duration of an outage season. This will continue
      for 90 consecutive days or can be extended if a person volunteers to do
      so. (There are two outage seasons: January through June and July through
      December). This will occur for a maximum of 180 days within a twelve-month
      period.

            

    

    

    
      	
              6.  

            	
              Upon
      completion of the assignment, the individual will go back to the original
      shift with no penalty to the employee and will fall right back into their
      normal rotation.

            

    

    

    
      	
              7.  

            	
              In
      emergency situation, operators could be called back to do operations
      work.

            

    

    

    
      	
              8.  

            	
              Operators
      assigned to Maintenance will be paid shift
  differential.

            

    

    

    The above
changes reflect the Company and Union's interest in working together to provide
a future for our employees and the ultimate success of the Company.

    LETTER OF
AGREEMENT

    

    FLEXIBILITY
LANGUAGE

    

    This
letter is to document the Agreement between the Company and the Union regarding
the intent of the flexibility language for positions as stated..

    

    "Employees
will perform any and all tasks for which they are properly trained and can
competently and safely perform."

    

    This
language has been added to all generation
classifications currently in the contract.

     

    
      
        	 	*
      All training must be formally documented
	
                 
      

              	
                *
      OSHA requires certain jobs and functions to be performed and certified
      every year -these will be defined at a later time

              
	 	*
      Refresher courses may be required 
	 	*
      Must be able to perform job safely

      

    

     

    This
clause allows the Company to offer training to the employees to expand their
knowledge. The Company will ask for volunteers first. The interest is in placing training
efforts into those individuals who have a desire to take advantage of this
training and then put into action what they have learned.

    

    Documentation
means bookwork in addition to practical and demonstrated application as
well.

    LETTER
OF AGREEMENT FOR

    CHARLES
LENZIE/HARRY ALLEN COMPLEX

    

    BETWEEN

    

    IBEW
LOCAL 396 AND NEVADA POWER COMPANY

    

    This
Letter of Agreement is entered into by the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers Local 396 (Union) and Nevada Power Company (Company),
collectively referred to as the Parties, concerning the job descriptions, wages,
working hours, contracting conditions and the process of staffing the Charles
Lenzie Generating Station (Lenzie) as outlined below.  All terms and
conditions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the company and
the union shall be in effect except where specified herein.

    

    Due to
location and opportunities for greater response and control, Harry Allen will
become a part of the Charles Lenzie Complex and employees of Charles Lenzie
Station will support Harry Allen Operations and Maintenance
activities.

    

    Lenzie is
a 1200 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant which is currently under construction and
expected to be operational by summer of 2006.

    

    Due to
the technology, and operational and maintenance differences from existing units,
this letter of agreement has been created to allow for minimal staffing and
greater efficiencies while allowing for greater cross functioning amongst
classifications.

    

    Occupational
Group

    

    Employees
will be placed in a separate tab called Combined Cycle Generation in the
CBA.

and Union agree that once Lenzie becomes operational, there could become a need
to reopen this letter of agreement to discuss work schedules and contracting
language, or any other area as mutually agreed to by the Company and the
Union.

    

    This
Letter of Agreement will become effective upon signature of both
parties.

Transmission).   This LOA supersedes all previous Letters of
Agreement between the Parties concerning the System Control Occupational
Group.

              Overtime: Time worked in
      excess of forty (40) hours within a regular workweek shall be considered
      overtime and will be paid for at one and one-half (1 1⁄2) times the regular

      (Company Holidays). In scheduling overtime work, a minimum of twelve (12)
      hours notice, prior to the start of said overtime, but prior to leaving

              Call-Out: Employees who

              §

      minimum of twelve (12) hours notice is required on canceling prescheduled
      overtime, or where customer arrangements are involved, twelve (12) hours
      notice prior to the employee’s next normal starting time. When such notice
      of cancellation of prescheduled overtime work is not given in accordance
      with the above, employees involved will be paid for two (2) hours at
      established overtime rates if they report and are retained for
      work.  When such notice of cancellation is not given in
      accordance with the above, but they are later notified of work
      cancellation, they will be paid for two (2) hours at time and one-half (1
      1⁄2).  If they report and are not retained for work, they shall
      receive pay for two (2) hours at time and one-half (1

              §  

            	
              Multiple Call-Outs: If
      an employee is called for emergency work more than once in the twenty-four
      (24) hour period from midnight one day to midnight the following day,
      minimum overtime compensation shall be paid for two (2) hours only for the
      first call outside of such employee’s regular work hours on work days, or
      at any time on his on-work days.  For subsequent calls, minimum
      overtime compensation shall be paid for one (1) hour and travel time as
      herein provided. For the purpose of this section, concurrent calls or
      successive calls without a break in work time shall be considered as a
      single call.  If by reason of a call, an employee works less
      than the minimum time and into regular work hours, the minimum overtime
      provisions will apply into his regular work hours and thereby postpone
      starting time.

            

    

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        128

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Meal Times: When working
overtime before or after the regular shift, or when called out for work after
the completion of their regular shift, or when called out on the employee’s
regularly scheduled days off, or holidays, and such work is continuous for one
and one-half (1 1⁄2) hours or more, the Company shall provide all meals unless the
employee is released before meal time or the employee may choose to receive the
allowance. The normal meal times shall be one and one-half (1 1⁄2) hours before
the employee’s normal starting time, six (6) hours after the normal starting
time, fourteen (14) hours after the normal starting time, and eight (8) hours
before the normal starting time; and meals will be provided as close to these
times as circumstances of work will permit.

    

    Rest Time: All employees who
are required to work emergency overtime within the eight (8) hour period
immediately preceding their scheduled starting time shall, after the emergency,
be entitled to time off with straight time pay equal to time
worked.  This is not applicable to a callout or scheduled overtime of
three (3) hours or less immediately preceding the employee’s normal starting
time. If an employee is entitled to time off under above, such time off which
would normally begin at the start of the regular shift maybe taken during the
last part of the regular shift.  An employee shall not be required to
work during his rest period provided adequate relief is available, however,
should an employee be required to work during this period, he shall receive
straight time for all time worked during his rest period in addition to his rest
period pay.

    

    Shift Differential: Seven (7)
day coverage employees will be paid the shift differential applicable to the
shift under which any hours worked may fall.

    Shift
premiums shall be payable only for hours actually worked and shall not be
payable for non-work time such as holidays, sick leave and vacation.
..

    

    Holidays: Employees under this
agreement shall be granted a front-loaded amount of Holiday hours equal to their
annual accrual at the beginning of the payroll year.  These hours can
be used by the employees, in the same manner as PTO is utilized, throughout the
year with customary supervisory approval.

    

    Upgrade And Overtime
Scheduling: System Operators are considered one classification and
accordingly will not be upgraded to higher levels except as provided in the Step
Progression Article.  The Company may upgrade a qualified employee to
provide coverage for a vacant shift as a first choice due to a scheduled or
unscheduled absence as long as this upgrade does not constitute overtime for the
upgraded employee.  This upgraded employee shall be paid at the rate
applicable to the classification being covered for all hours of the coverage
assignment. If these arrangements cannot be made and it is necessary to work
employee overtime the following steps will be followed:

    

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              An
      employee in the same classification, who is on his or her day off and will
      have at least twelve (12) hours off between shifts, shall be called to
      fill the vacant shift in accordance with the overtime
  list.

            

    

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              If
      there is no employee willing to accept the overtime offered the employee
      on shift will be offered, if the supervisor feels they can do so safely,
      the option of splitting the shift.

            

    

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              The
      Company may force the person that meets the requirements of step #1 above,
      to come in and work the shift.

            

    

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              If
      the Company is still unable to cover the shift at this time, they may use
      whatever option they choose, including using a member of Management to
      cover.

            

    

    

    It is the
intent of the Company not to work employees assigned to the THS schedule beyond
their regularly scheduled work hours, however, all employees shall be expected
to respond to overtime assignments as necessary.

    Vacation
and Sick Leave Articles 10, 11 and 12

    

    For
Electric System Control only:

    

    It is
understood that the Paid Time Off (PTO) program shall only replace the language
in Articles 10, 11, and 12 that refer to benefits that are covered in the Paid
Time Off program.  All five classifications of the System Control
group will be covered on the MPAT PTO and MPAT Short-term disability program
with all provisions.  Practices will be consistent with how they are
currently managed.

    

    Note:
This replaces all of Article 11, 12 and Article 14.9 in the general contract
that refers to benefits that are covered in the Paid Time Off Program
(PTO).

    

    Management
Responsibilities - Article 15, Sec 15.1

    

    Intended
to expand Article 15.1: Due to the inherent nature of operating the System, the
management will have increased flexibility to provide necessary support and
assistance without violating terms of this agreement.  This
flexibility is not intended to replace bargaining unit
employees.  Management personnel can include, but is not limited to,
Supervisors, Operations Engineers, Transmission and Distribution Administrators,
Network Engineers, and ESCC Technical Support (EMS) personnel.

    

    Incumbent
Contract Employee - Transmission Operations

    

    The
Company currently utilizes a contractor resource to perform System Operator
duties associated with Transmission Operations.   The Company
will continue to contract these duties and pay wages currently established
within the existing Vendor Contract until the current contract employee leaves
the service of the Company.  At that time the parties agree that these
System Operator duties shall be covered under the Collective Bargaining
Agreement.

    System
Operator Progression

    

    Four
families of Operator/Dispatcher classifications are established by this Letter
of Agreement for the System Control Occupational Group, namely, Dispatch
Assistant, Distribution, Transmission, and Trainer.  Progression
within families and between families will be as follows,

    

    Progression Within Dispatch
Assistant:

    Progression
within Dispatch Assistant family will be automatic, based on satisfactory
performance and minimum time served in each classification (Table
5).  Any Short Term or Long Term Disability leave taken will not be
counted towards minimum time required at each classification.

    

    Progression within
Distribution:

    Progression
within Distribution family will be automatic, based on satisfactory performance
and minimum time served in each classification (Table 5).  Any Short
Term or Long Term Disability leave taken will not be counted towards minimum
time required at each classification.

    

    Progression from
Distribution to Transmission:

    Progression
from Distribution Family to Transmission Family will be based on selection for
the vacant position in Sub-Transmission classification from the qualified
applicants within Senior Distribution classification.  If no Senior
Distribution Operators are interested in transfer to Sub-Transmission Operator
classification, other classifications within the Distribution Family may be
evaluated for transfer to Sub-Transmission classification. The successful
candidate(s) advancing to Sub-Transmission classification must agree to the
change of work schedule to Transmission Operator THS (Table 1) whenever transfer
to a vacancy in Transmission Operator classification is required.

    

    Within
initial 24 months at Sub-Transmission classification, Sub-Transmission Operators
will be required to attain NERC Certification (Transmission Operator or
higher).  In the instance that an employee in the Sub-Transmission
classification is unable to attain NERC Certification within 24 months period,
the Company, after exhausting all reasonable efforts to train and mentor the
employee to attain the Certification, will re-assign the employee to his/her
previously held classification within T&D Operations department, for which
the Certification is not a requirement.  If, at that time, there are
no existing Distribution Operators interested in Sub-Transmission
classification, the Company, at it’s sole discretion, may continue to train the
Sub-Transmission Operator beyond the initial 24 month period in the
position.

    

    Progression within
Transmission:

    Progression
from Sub-Transmission Classification to Transmission Classification will be
based on selection for the vacant position in Transmission classification from
the qualified Sub-Transmission Operators.  The Sub-Transmission
Operator, with longest length of time as NERC certified operator will be
automatically selected for a vacancy in Transmission Operator
classification.  A change of schedule from Sub-Transmission schedule
(Table 2) to Transmission schedule (Table 1) will be required.

    

    Vacancies
in Dispatch Assistant, Distribution, Transmission and Trainer

    

    Vacancies
in Dispatch Assistant, Distribution, Transmission, and Trainer families will be
filled as follows,

    

    Dispatch Assistant
Vacancies:

    All
vacancies in Dispatch Assistant family will be advertised per existing CBA
provisions.  Vacancies in Dispatch Assistant family will be filled at
Dispatcher Assistant Start classification.

    

    Distribution
Vacancies:

    All
vacancies in Distribution family will be advertised per existing CBA
provisions.  Vacancies in Distribution family will be filled at
Distribution Operator Start classification.

    

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        134

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

    Sub-Transmission Vacancies
from Outside T&D Operations:

    If no
candidates are available from within the Distribution Family to transfer to the
Transmission Family, the vacancies in Sub-Transmission classification may be
filled externally (Outside T&D Operations) as per provisions of existing
CBA.

    

    External
candidates coming into Sub-Transmission classification will be required to
attain NERC Certification (Transmission Operator or higher) within the initial
24 months.  In the instance that such an employee in the
Sub-Transmission classification is unable to attain NERC Certification within
the initial 24 months period, the Company, after exhausting all reasonable
efforts to train and mentor the employee to attain the Certification, may
re-assign the employee to another classification within T&D Operations
department, for which the Certification is not a requirement.  If no
vacancies exist in other classifications within T&D Operations, the Company
may choose to re-assign the employee to another position outside the T&D
Operations department.

    

    Transmission
Vacancies:

    Vacancies
in Transmission classification will be filled by automatic selection of the
Sub-Transmission Operator, with longest length of time as NERC certified
operator.  A change of schedule from Sub-Transmission schedule (Table
2) to Transmission schedule (Table 1) will be required.

    

    Trainer
Vacancies:

    All
vacancies in Trainer family will be advertised per existing CBA
provisions.

executed a Lender Authorization in the form set forth as Exhibit A attached
hereto, and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent for the
Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative

    Statement of
Purpose

     

    The Lenders agreed to extend certain
credit facilities to the Borrower pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2005 (as amended, modified and
supplemented by that certain Amendment and Consent dated as of April 19, 2006
and that certain Second Amendment dated as of November 25, 2008, and as further
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Credit

    The Borrower has requested, and the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, to amend the Credit Agreement as specifically set
forth herein.

     

    NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    SECTION
1.    Definitions.  All
capitalized, undefined terms used in this Agreement (including, without
limitation, in the Statement of Purpose hereto) shall have the meanings assigned
thereto in the Credit Agreement.

     

    SECTION
2.    Amendments.  Subject
to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree to amend the Credit Agreement
as follows:

     

    (a)           Section
8.2(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word "and"
following clause (L), replacing the "." following clause (M) with "; and" and
inserting the following clause (N) to the end of such Section:

     

    "(N)           the
incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of additional Indebtedness in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150,000,000 at any time outstanding,
issued on terms and subject to conditions reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, and so long as such Indebtedness has a final maturity date
occurring at least 364 days following the issuance thereof."

     

    (b)           Section
8.2(b)(x) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

     

    “(x)           Liens
to secure Indebtedness permitted pursuant to clauses (F), (K), (L), (M) or (N)
of Section 8.2(a)(ii);".

     

    SECTION
3.    Effectiveness.  The amendments
set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement shall be deemed to be effective upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent of (a) counterparts of this Agreement
executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (b) Lender
Authorizations executed by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 of the
Credit Agreement.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    SECTION
4.     Effect of
Agreement.  Except as expressly provided herein, the Credit
Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full
force and effect.  This Agreement shall not be deemed (a) to be a
waiver of, or consent to, or a modification or amendment of, any other term or
condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) to prejudice
any right or rights which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may now have
or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to
therein, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from
time to time, or (c) to be a commitment or any other undertaking or expression
of any willingness to engage in any further discussion with the Borrower, any of
its Subsidiaries or any other Person with respect to any waiver, amendment,
modification or any other change to the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents
or any rights or remedies arising in favor of the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent, or any of them, under or with respect to any such
documents.  References in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”
(and indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof” or
other words of like import) and in any Loan Document to the “Credit Agreement”
shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as modified
hereby.

    

    SECTION
5.     Representations and
Warranties.  (a) By its execution hereof, the Borrower
certifies that (i) each of the representations and warranties set forth in the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (both before and after giving
effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) is true and
correct as of the date hereof as if fully set forth herein, except for any
representation and warranty made as of an earlier date, which representation and
warranty shall remain true and correct as of such earlier date; and (ii) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof
both before and after giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions
