Transaction Team in Support (You Can t Do It Alone) IV. Typical TSA Terms and Risk Points (The TSA and its Associated Agreements) V. Observations and Conclusions (Next Steps) 3
4 I. Understanding the Deal (We Don t Build Transmission Alone) Transmission line is means to end Not end itself Transmission lines exist to flow electricity from producer (generation) to customer Absent generation, no need for line Absent customers, no need for line 4
5 I. Understanding the Deal (We Don t Build Transmission Alone) What is overall deal here? Can you diagram it? What is the glue that holds entire project together? 5
6 I. Understanding the Deal (We Don t Build Transmission Alone) Project description for Indo-Nepal cross-border transmission line: 400 kv double circuit transmission line Alternating current 145 kilometers from Muzaffarpur, India to Dhalkebar, Nepal 6
7 I. Understanding the Deal (We Don t Build Transmission Alone) Substation expansions at each terminus For first 5 years, Nepal will import 250 MW from India For next 20 years, 500 MW will flow from Nepal to India from new hydro generation sites (to be built) 25 year term total 7
8 Nepal Parties Nepal Electric Authority Owned by Government of Nepal Transmission customer for entire line Power Transmission Company Nepal Limited (PTCN) Joint venture of NEA and IL & FS Development Corporation Public private ownership Will own and implement 45 kilometers of line in Nepal from Dhalkebar to Bathanah 8

10 Nepal and India Parties Rationale for two companies, two contracts Ownership ratios between NEA and IL & FS for PTCN and CTPC Governance Cross-liabilities/guarantors Is risk allocated to party best able to manage, mitigate or insure it? 10
11 What is the Underlying Power Deal? Who is power generator in India for export sales to Nepal? Does this generation currently exist? Power Purchase Agreement between Nepal customer and Indian generation? Who is Nepal customer? Creditworthy counterparties in Nepal and India? 11
