5 Early Transition - Overview Early transition is voluntary Objectives –Enable account holders to transition CPM accounts to GATS prior to default transition date –Provide account holders with more time to learn GATS prior to end of EY2009 true-up period –Enable transition team (BPU, GATS, CPM, Market Manager) to gain experience with transition administration with a smaller set of participants

If there are RECs in escrow, the account will not be transferred.

8 Default Transition Default transition is not voluntary Applies to all CPM account holders who did not elect early transition Enables continued use of CPM platform for settlement of EY09 RECs or SRECs created on or prior to June 5, 2009 through EY09 true-up period (ending September 30, 2009) Ensures no unretired RECs or SRECs at end of EY09 true-up period are “stranded” at CPM

9 Default Transition - Details All EY2010 NJ BTM RECs will be issued by PJM-EIS through GATS. Treatment of RECs in Escrow on Transfer Date (9/30) –GATS will not initially support the escrow functionality. –Account holders will be informed that they must clear RECs out of escrow prior to the transition or those escrowed RECs will revert to the seller’s GATS account. –Trades will need to be re-initiated and completed using GATS.

Last day to enter generation data pertaining to production occurring on May 31 or earlier into CPM platform.

July 1 – September 30 Account holders login to GATS, choose password for account, verify transferred account information. CPM remains open for trading and retirement of RECs created by June 5. GATS open for entering production data. September 30CPM closes. Active REC or SREC balances are transferred to GATS. GATS receives active REC or SREC balances from CPM. There may be a delay (of up to several weeks) in having these balances appear in GATS accounts.

11 Transition Options Summary Early Transition –Voluntary –Clean cutover from CPM to GATS –Best for account holders Whose buyers are already registered at GATS Who are willing to learn a new system now Default Transition –Mandatory –EY09 settled in CPM, EY10 settled at GATS –Best for account holders Who wish to remain with CPM through EY09 Who depend on CPM’s escrow function for trading

13 Frequently Asked Questions Production Estimates –Existing systems’ production estimates will be transferred to GATS as-is –Creation of production estimates for new systems will be supported by GATS, using same method as used by CPM –Automated entry of estimated production will be supported by GATS kWh Production Entry/Partial MWh carryover –GATS will enable generators to enter production in kWh, and will support carryover of partial MWh to the following month

14 Frequently Asked Questions Transaction Escrow Period Support –GATS does not plan to support this functionality by the default transition date Fees –GATS fees are listed in the GATS Terms of Use, fees are not relevant to account holders with less than 10 MW capacity or to transactions among GATS account holders Username/Password Migration –GATS is working with CPM to transition usernames and accounts; you will receive an email from GATS once the transfer is made, and you will need to create a new password
