                          SECTION III
                      INTENT OF AGREEMENT
                      -------------------
  
    This Thirty-Third Agreement is intended by the signatories
  hereto to effect a comprehensive amendment and restatement of
  the NEPOOL Agreement and to provide a regional open access
  transmission arrangement in accordance with the Restated NEPOOL
  Agreement and the Tariff, which is Attachment B to the Restated
  NEPOOL Agreement.  Subject to the understandings expressed in
  the balance of this Section and in Section IV, the signatories
  agree to support the acceptance of the Thirty-Third Agreement
  by the Commission. 
  
    Subject to the understandings expressed in Section IV of
  this Agreement, in entering into this Thirty-Third Agreement
  the signatories expressly condition their commitment on
  acceptance of this Thirty-Third Agreement, including the
  Restated NEPOOL Agreement and the Tariff, by the Commission and
  any other regulatory body having jurisdiction without
  significant conditions or modifications.  If significant
  conditions are imposed or significant modifications are
    
required, the signatories reserve the right to renegotiate the
  Thirty-Third Agreement as a whole or to terminate it. 
  
                           SECTION IV
                     ALTERNATIVE AMENDMENTS
                    -----------------------
  
    The signatories have been unable to reach final agreement
  on two aspects of the transmission arrangements for a
  restructured NEPOOL which would be in effect after the five-
  year Transition Period provided for in the Tariff, as follows:
  
    (a)   the continued treatment of "grandfathered contracts"
            as Excepted Transactions; and
  
    (b)   the continuance and treatment of Participant Regional
            Network Service rates which differ from an average
            Regional Network Service rate.
  
  It is agreed that any Participant which signs this Agreement
  shall be entitled to take any position before the Commission
  that it deems best with respect to either of these two aspects
  of the transmission arrangements.
    
    However, Participants signing this Agreement are requested
  to consider the proposed treatment of these aspects of the
  transmission arrangements in the following Alternate A and
  Alternate B and to indicate, if they are willing, in the
  optional supplemental agreement on the signature page to this
  Agreement their position on these alternates.  The alternates
  are as follows:
  
    Alternate A is as follows:
    -------------------------
    1.    The introductory portion of paragraph (3) of Section
  25 of the Tariff shall be amended to read as follows:
  
          (3)  for the period from the effective date of the
                 Tariff until the termination of the transmission
                 agreement or the end of the Transition Period,
                 whichever occurs first:
    2.    The description of the "Participant RNS Rate" in
  Schedule 9 to the Tariff shall be amended by modifying the
  proviso at the end of the second sentence of paragraph (4) of
  the Schedule to read as follows:
  
    
          provided that in no event shall its pre-1997
            Participant RNS Rate be less than 70% of the pre-1997
            Pool PTF Rate until the end of Year Five, and
            thereafter shall be equal to the pre-1997 Pool PTF
            Rate for Year Six and thereafter.
  
  and by amending the proviso at the end of the third sentence of
  paragraph (4) of the Schedule to read as follows:
  
          provided that in no event shall its pre-1997
            Participant RNS Rate be greater than 130% of the pre-
          1997 Pool PTF Rate until the end of Year Five, and
            thereafter shall be equal to the pre-1997 Pool PTF
            Rate for Year Six and thereafter.
  
    Alternate B is as follows:
    -------------------------
    1.    The introductory portion of paragraph (3) of Section
  25 of the Tariff shall be amended to read as follows:
  
          (3)  for the period from the effective date of this
                 Tariff until the termination of the transmission
                 agreement:
    
    2.    The description of the "Participant RNS Rate" in
  Schedule 9 to the Tariff shall be amended by modifying the
  proviso at the end of the second sentence of paragraph (4) of
  the Schedule to read as follows:
          provided that in no event shall its pre-
          1997 Participant RNS Rate be less than 70% of the
            pre-1997 Pool PTF Rate until the end of Year Five,
            and thereafter shall be no less than 50% of the pre-
          1997 Pool PTF Rate for Year Six through Year Ten, and
            shall be equal to the pre-1997 Pool PTF Rate for Year
            Eleven and thereafter.
  
  and by amending the provison at the end of the third sentence
  of paragraph (4) of the Schedule to read as follows:
          provided that in no event shall its pre-
          1997 Participant RNS Rate be greater than 130% of the
            pre-1997 Pool PTF Rate until the end of Year Five and
            thereafter shall be no greater than 127% of the pre-
          1997 Pool PTF Rate for Year Six, 123% of the pre-1997
            Pool PTF Rate for Year Seven, 118% of the pre-1997
            Pool PTF Rate for Year Eight, 112% of the pre-1997
            Pool PTF Rate for Year Nine, 105% of the pre-1997
            Pool PTF Rate for Year Ten, and shall be equal to the
            pre-1997 Pool PTF Rate for Year Eleven and
            thereafter.
    
  
                           SECTION V
