5.3 Each Facility Schedule shall indicate whether transformation and/or metering services apply at each Point of Interconnection. Parties agree that the name and location of the Points of Interconnection in the Exhibit "A" and the Facilities Schedules attached to this Agreement, will be identical to the name used and the location of the corresponding facilities in the Transformation Service Agreement. ARTICLE VI - SYSTEM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 6.1 Unless otherwise provided by the Facility Schedules, each Parry shall, at each Point of Interconnection, at its own risk and expense, operate and maintain the facilities (including all apparatus and necessary protective devices) it owns or hereafter may own, so as to reasonably minimize the likelihood of voltage and frequency abnormalities, originating in the system of one Party, from affecting or impairing the system of the other Party, or other systems to which the Party is interconnected. The Parties agree that all Points of Interconnection will be operated and maintained in conformance with operating guidelines of ERCOT and the ERCOT Protocols, as the same may be amended hereafter. 6.2 Operational responsibility for facilities owned by one Party, but installed in another Party's substation or transmission line will be identified in the Facility Schedule for that particular Point of Interconnection. 6.3 During the term of this Agreement, the Parties will, consistent with maintaining good operating practices, coordinate their operations to maintain continuity of services to their respective customers to the extent practicable. Planned facility maintenance by either Party that will cause a deviation from the normal power and energy flow at a Point of Interconnection will be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time. No changes will be made in the normal operation of a Point of Interconnection without the mutual agreement of the Parties. The Parties will, to the extent necessary to support continuity of operations, coordinate the operation of protective devices on the facilities they operate in the proximity of the Points of Interconnection which might reasonably be expected to affect the operation of facilities on the other Party's system. 6.4 Each Parry will provide the reactive requirements for its own system in accordance with the operating guides as established from time to time by ERGOT or its successor. Each Party will provide the reactive requirements for its own system so as not to impose a burden on the other system. 6.5 The City designates LCRA TSC to perform the functions of an "ERCOT Transmission Operator" on the City's behalf as described in the ERCOT Protocols. As the ERCOT Transmission Operator acting on behalf of the City, LCRA TSC shall have full authority to perform any necessary load shedding, switching, and other transmission activities that are deemed necessary to reliably maintain the electric system. 6.6 The City shall ensure that its operators designated to carry out dispatch instructions from LCRA TSC are properly authorized and trained to comply with all reliability directives issued by LCRA TSC, including shedding firn1 load, unless such actions would violate LCRA TSC - San Marcos Electric Utility Page 6 of 35
