2.

The NU Money Pool will be administered by Northeast Utilities Service Company (NUSCO).

3.

Each Pool Participant will determine each day, the amount of surplus funds it has available for contribution to the NU Money Pool (Surplus Funds).  In addition to its own Surplus Funds, NU may borrow funds from third party lenders (External Funds) in order to make these External Funds available to meet the borrowing needs of the Pool Participants other than the Non-borrowing Participants.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE POOL

4.

Each participant may contribute its Surplus Funds to the NU Money Pool.  NU may also contribute any External Funds to the NU Money Pool.

5.

Each Pool Participant will receive as interest with respect to its Surplus Funds, that fraction of the total interest received by the NU Money Pool equal to the ratio of the Surplus Funds the Pool Participant has contributed, times the period in which such Surplus Funds were available, to the total Surplus Funds in the NU Money Pool, times the period in which all Surplus Funds were in the NU Money Pool.  NU will receive the same interest with respect to its External Funds that it pays for its External Funds.  Interest will be computed on a daily basis and payable monthly.

6.

Each Pool Participant may withdraw any of its Surplus Funds at any time without notice.  NU may withdraw its External Funds at any time without notice.

BORROWINGS FROM THE NU MONEY POOL

7.

The Non-borrowing Participants shall not be entitled to borrow from the NU Money Pool.

8.

No Pool Participant other than CL&P, NNECO, HWP, RR and Quinnehtuk may borrow Surplus Funds that are attributable to contributions from WMECO until the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Energy or other appropriate Massachusetts regulatory agency which regulates WMECO ("MDTE") has issued an order authorizing WMECO to lend funds to such companies through the NU Money Pool.  Until the time that such an order is received, all transactions between WMECO and those Pool Participants permitted to borrow funds attributable to contributions by WMECO will be documented using grid notes.

9.

All short-term debt requirements of Pool Participants other than the Non-borrowing Participants, will be met by Surplus Funds in the NU Money Pool to the extent such funds are available and to the extent they are not restricted by the conditions specified in paragraph 8.  All Pool Participants other than the Non-borrowing Participants may also meet their short-term debt requirements through External Funds made available through the NU Money Pool from NU.  The aggregate amount of short-term debt that may be outstanding at any one time, whether through borrowings from the NU Money Pool or otherwise, for the Pool Participants may not exceed the lesser of (a) the amount authorized by the respective board of directors from time to time and (b) the amount allowed under law.
