equipment that operates circuit breaker B9756. Promptly after those matters have been confirmed to Con Edison's reasonable satisfaction, Con Edison shall provide written notification to Central Hudson that the Second Tie is acceptable.
(c) Conveyance of Title
(i) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Central Hudson and Con Edison will submit this Agreement and the Easement Agreement to the NYPSC under Section 70 of the Public Service Law and request NYPSC approval for (1) the transfer to Con Edison of the Con Edison Equipment, (2) an accounting/ratemaking treatment acceptable to Central Hudson in its sole discretion, and (3) the permanent easement under the Easement Agreement. In the event that such approvals are obtained, upon successful completion of the installation and testing of the disconnect switch (and associated relays and other equipment,
cable and wiring) on Con Edison's property, Central Hudson will transfer its right title and interest in the Con Edison Equipment to Con Edison through a bill of sale for consideration of
$10.00. In the event that the NYPSC approves the Easement Agreement but not the transfer of the Con Edison Equipment and associated accounting and rate treatment, Central Hudson will be provided by Con Edison with a permanent easement for the Temporary Easement Area corresponding to that for the Easement Area, at nominal consideration for the equipment, and will continue to own the equipment.
(ii) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Con Edison will petition the FERC, pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act, for approval of the conveyance of the disconnect switch to Con Edison. Upon receipt of that approval and upon the completion of the installation and testing of the discom1ect switch (and associated relays and other equipment, cable, and wiring), Central Hudson will transfer its title and interest in the equipment to Con Edison through a bill of sale at nominal consideration.
(d) Warranties Central Hudson shall use reasonable efforts to obtain standard manufactures' warranties from vendors and contractors with respect to materials, equipment, and services pertaining to the Con Edison Equipment that are assignable to Con Edison. As soon as possible after the Conveyance Date, Central Hudson shall assign to Con Edison all warranties received from vendors and contractors pertaining to the Con Edison Equipment to the extent that such warranties are assignable. To the extent that such warranties are not assignable, upon the request of Con Edison, Central Hudson shall use reasonable efforts to enforce any such warranties for the benefit of Con Edison.
SECTION 3.03. Interconnection of the Second Tie.

Effective Date: 4/22/2016 - Docket #: ER16-981-000 - Page 1
NYISO Agreements --> Service Agreements --> Facilities Agreement 2263 between Central Hudson & ConEd
(b) Interruption of the Interconnection. The Interconnection of the Second Tie with the Transmission System shall be subject to limitation or interruption (i) upon the activation of facilities, equipment and systems designed to protect the Second Tie or the Transmission System or System Integrity or public safety; (ii) as a result of the failure of facilities, equipment, or systems; (iii) for necessary maintenance, repair or testing; (iv) for construction or modification of the Transmission System; or (v) as directed by the ISO; provided that Con Edison shall use its reasonable best efforts in accordance with Applicable Legal Requirements and Good Utility Practice to prevent such interruption or limitation and shall restore the Interconnection as promptly as possible, consistent with Good Utility Practice. Con Edison and Central Hudson shall coordinate with each other the scheduling of interruptions associated with maintenance, repair or testing and for construction or modification of the Transmission System.
(c) Switching, Tagging and Grounding. In performing any work on circuit breaker B9756 or disconnect switch B9792, Central Hudson shall comply with Con Edison's General Instructions Governing Work on System Electrical Equipment, as from time to time in effect (the "Con Edison Switching Rules"), promulgated pursuant to the requirements of 29 C.F.R. 1910.269, or any successor thereto or replacement thereof. Con Edison shall have no liability to Central Hudson in connection with the compliance or noncompliance by Central Hudson with
the Con Edison Switching Rules and Central Hudson agrees to hold Con Edison harmless from any liability as a result thereof.
(d) Standby Status. Under normal conditions, the Second Tie will be operated in an energized stand-by mode (i.e., with both 345kV circuit breakers closed and the 115kV breaker B9754 open). The Second Tie will be placed in service (to carry load) only when the First Tie is out of service. The First Tie and Second Tie shall not be placed in service simultaneously, except during switching operations and emergency conditions as determined by Central Hudson and approved by the NYISO. If Central Hudson desires in the future to flow power over the First Tie and Second Tie simultaneously under normal conditions, Central Hudson shall request the ISO to conduct a study to determine whether the simultaneous operation requires an enhancement of transmission facilities and shall satisfy any obligation that exists under the ISO Tariff to pay for such enhancements.
SECTION 3.04. Operation and Maintenance.
(a) General. Con Edison shall operate the Con Edison Equipment, and Central Hudson shall operate the Central Hudson Equipment. However, Con Edison shall also have operating jurisdiction over circuit breaker B9756.

(b) Right to Modify or Construct. During the Operational Period, each Party shall, at its cost, be permitted to upgrade, expand, enlarge, or otherwise modify, or undertake new construction in respect of its respective transmission and distribution facilities in accordance with Applicable Legal Requirements and Good Utility Practice, provided, however, that any such upgrades etc. shall not relieve the party from its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Property Taxes.
Central Hudson shall be financially responsible for all New York State and local property taxes associated with the equipment constructed at the Con Edison Substation and indicated as such in Schedule 3.01(a)(i)(1).

(a) Each Party (the "Receiving Party") shall, during the term of this Restated Agreement and for two years after its termination, keep confidential and shall cause its directors, officers, affiliates, employees, contractors, agents and other representatives (including financial advisors, attorneys and accountants) (collectively, the "Representatives") to keep confidential (except as required by applicable Law, and then only after compliance with subsection (b) of this Section), any and all documents and information conspicuously labeled "Confidential" (or in the case of information disclosed orally, explicitly and unambiguously designated as "Confidential") (i) relating to the Second Tie in the case of information given to Con Edison or to the Transmission System in the case of information given to Central Hudson, that is furnished or disclosed by the other Party (the "Disclosing Party") in connection with this Restated Agreement or (ii) learned by the Receiving Party
during the course of performance of this Agreement (the "Confidential Information").

(b) In the event that the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives is requested pursuant to, or required by, Applicable Legal Requirements or ISO Rules to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party promptly so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in the Disclosing Party's sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section.
(i) In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that the Disclosing Party does not waive compliance with the terms of this Section, the Receiving Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Receiving Party is advised by counsel is legally required and shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so furnished.
