TWENTY-EIGHTH AGREEMENT AMENDING
NEW ENGLAND POWER POOL AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the 15th day of September, 1992 is entered
into by the signatories hereto for the amendment by them of the New England
Power Pool Agreement dated as of September 1, 1971 (the "NEPOOL Agreement"),
as previously amended or proposed to be amended by twenty-seven (27)
amendments, the most recent of which was dated as of October 1, 1990.
WHEREAS, in response to the factors specified in Section 5.10 of the
NEPOOL Agreement regarding election of members of the Management Committee to
serve as an Executive Committee, the member of the Management Committee
representing Public Service Company of New Hampshire has been elected to serve
as a member of the Executive Committee since the formation of NEPOOL; and
WHEREAS, Northeast Utilities has recently acquired Public Service
Company of New Hampshire, Public Service Company of New Hampshire has elected
to be treated as a single Participant with the other Entities controlled by
Northeast Utilities, and Public Service Company of New Hampshire is no longer
entitled to be separately represented by a member of the Management Committee;
and
WHEREAS, the signatory Participants have determined to amend the NEPOOL
Agreement in the manner specified below in order to reflect the fact that the
considerations specified in Section 5.10 for membership on the Executive
Committee can now be satisfied by election of only ten members.
NOW THEREFORE, the signatories hereby agree as follows:
SECTION I
TEXT OF AMENDMENT
Section 5.10 of the NEPOOL Agreement is amended to read as follows:
Election of Executive Committee Members
Unless there are less than eleven members of the Management
Committee, the Management Committee, at each annual meeting, shall
elect ten of its members to serve as an Executive Committee. In
electing the Executive Committee, the Management Committee shall
give such consideration as it shall deem advisable to
qualifications for the office, geographic distribution, the
relative sizes of Participants and the public and private sectors
of the electric utility industry. Each member so selected may
designate an alternate who is acceptable to the Management
Committee.
SECTION II
EFFECTIVENESS OF AGREEMENT
Following its execution by the requisite number of Participants, this
Agreement, and the amendment provided for above, shall become effective on
December 1, 1992, or on such later date as the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission shall provide that such amendment shall become effective.

Agreement shall be deemed to be in accordance with the definitions thereof in
the NEPOOL Agreement.

same instrument. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any
counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any

Agreement identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more

signature page to be executed by its duly authorized representative, as of the
