Subject: LETTER AGREEMENT

Dear Mr. Treadway:

The Purpose of this letter is to set forth the understanding of NEII and the IUEC relative to the payment of overtime for travel tie as follows:

If the majority of the time spent on overtime work involves finding the cause of the trouble rather than correcting the problem, then all the overtime hours will be considered as cal-back time and paid at the applicable rate. On the other hand, if the majority of the time spent by the employee involves the correction of the problem rather than finding the cause of the trouble, then all overtime hours will be considered as repair work and paid at the applicable rate. As a general rule the overtime travel time is to be paid as follows:

Multiple to be used

For Hours Traveled

Same as

Overtime Call-backs… Worked Hours

Emergency Repair…… Same as

Call-backs……. Worked Hours

Planned Repair……….. 1 ½

Modernization………... 1 ½

Construction………….. 1 ½

Please indicate your Agreement with the foregoing by signing under the word "AGREED" below.

Very truly yours,

FRANK P. AQUILINO

Agreed:
