! or neighboring distribution system requesting the construction i of increased transmission capacity fails to make a nonrefundable
! contrioution in aid of construction to licensee equal to the
} difference aetween the estimated cost of the transmission facilities licensee would construct for its own use and the estimated cost of tne transmission facilities licensee would '
j construct for tne use of itself and the neighboring entity or
- neighboring distribution systems within a reasonable time prior ,
j to the construction of the facilities. )
j (c) Licensee shall file the agreements providing for such j transmission services with the Federal Power Conulission, and j that agency shall have jurisdiction over the rates and cnarges

A request for participation with respect to such nuclear units shall be deemed timely if made within 180 days after the puolic announcement by licensee of the proposed construction of su d units.
(c) As to participation in the Marble Hill nuclear units, any neignboring entity or neighooring distribution system maxing a timely request for participation must enter into a legally oinding and enforceable agreement by Decenber 1,1975. As to any otner nuclear unit licensee may construct, any neighooring entity or neighboring distribution system making a timely request for participation must enter into a legally binding and enforceacle agreement within one year after licensee's puolic announcement of the proposed construction of such unit (s). In the event licensee fails to provide sufficient financial data to a requesting entity as required in Section VII(b) acove, the time period within which that requesting entity aust enter into a legally binding and enforceaole agreement shall be extended for a period equal to the tine which elapses between the date on which such data is requested and the date sufficient financial data is in fact furnished,.
(d). Licensee may require the inclusion in any agreement provided for in Section VII(c) above of provisions for (1) payment at the time of the signing of the agreement of not more than 10 percent of the estimated cost of participation in any such generating units and associatr.d transmission facilities, ard (2) additional pro rata payments thereafter as licensee becomes obligated to expend funas for the planning or construction of said units and facilities.
Any funds received by licensee in advance of an actual expenditure shall oe held in escrow until they are needed to reinburse licensee. ul interest earned on the escrow account shall inure to the cenefit of the party (ies) who advanced the funds. In the event any participant fails to meet fully its financial comitment with respect to a nuclear unit, sucn participant shall only be entitled to participate in that nuclear unit in an amount equal
. to the relationship its total payments up to that point bear to licensee's total investment in the facility.
(e) Licensee snall transmit power from the Marole riill units or any future nuclear unit it may own or operate to any neighboring entity or neighooring distribution system wnich is a participant in that unit, in accord with the requirements of Section VI of these cocmitments.

This section shall not be construed to require licensee to construct new transmission lines for the sole benefit of a neighboring entity or neighboring distribution system. Licensee shall not be required to increase the transmission capacity of its existing or planned transmission facilities if to do so would impair its system reliacility or if the neighooring entity or neighboring di.stribution system requesting the construction of increased transmission capacity fails to make a nonrefundable contricution in aid of construction to licensee equal to the ,
difference between the estimated cost of the transmission facilities licensee would construct for its own use and the estimated cost of tne transmission facilities licensee would construct for the use of itself and the neighboring entity or neignboring districution systems within a reasonable time prior to tne construction of the facilities.

furnish suoi information to any other entity or distrioution i system which requests such information. A request for participation i with respect to suct nuclear units shall oe deemed timely if mace
{ within 180 days after the puolic announcement by licensee of the J. proposea construction of sudt units.
t l (c) As to participation in the Marble Hill nuclear units, any neighboring entity or neighboring districution system making a
, timely request for participation must enter into a legally binding and enforceable agreement by Decencer 1,1975. As to any other nuclear unit licensee may construct, any neighboring entity or i
neighboring distribution system making a timely request for i
participation must enter into a legally binding and enforceable agreement within one year after licensee's public announcement of the proposed construction of such unit (s). In the event licensee fails to provice sufficient financial data to a requesting entity
- as required in Section VII(b) above, the time period within which that requesting entity must enter into a legally binding and l enforceable agreement shall be extended for a period equal to the 4

! time of the signing of the agreement of not more than 10 percent of the estimated cost of participation in any such generating units
- and associatea transmission facilities, and (2) sdditional pro i rata payments thereafter as licensee becomes obligated to expend T E s for the planning or construction of said units and facilities. ;
, Any funds received by licensee in advance of an actual expenditure i j shall be held in escrow until they are neeaed to reincurse '
i licensee. All interest earned on the escrow account shall inure to tne Denefit of the party (ies) who advanced the funds. In the i
l event any participant fails to meet fully its financial commitment i
! with respect to a nuclear unit, such participant shall only be entitled to participate in that nuclear unit in an amount equal j to the relationship its total payments up to that point bear to j licensee's total investment in the facility.
(e) Licensee sna11 transmit power from the Marble Hill units or j any future nuclear unit it may own or operate to any neighboring 1 entity or neignboring aistribution system wnien is a participant i in that unit, in accord with the requirements of Section VI of
