responsible for accelerating the adoption of advanced reactive power compensation solutions in transmission grids for the Company. Before joining the Company, Mr. Winter most recently was president and CEO of the California Independent System
Operator (ISO), a not-for-profit public benefit corporation charged with managing the flow of electricity along California&#146;s open-market wholesale power grid, a position he assumed in March 1999. Prior to that Mr. Winter was the California
ISO&#146;s chief operating officer from August 1997 to March 1999. He assisted in developing operations and oversaw the integration of the transmission systems of Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas &amp; Electric, and San Diego Gas &amp;
Electric when the California ISO assumed control of the state&#146;s open market transmission grid in 1998. Mr. Winter is a member of the boards of Trans-Elect, North America&#146;s first independent transmission company, and the Consortium for
Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) and was a member of the North American Electric Reliability Council analysis team that reviewed the August 16, 2003 blackout and provided technical recommendations for transmission grid and operating
procedure improvements. Mr. Winter was formerly the Division Manager of San Diego Gas &amp; Electric&#146;s power operations. His 21-year career with SDG&amp;E focused on power operations, transmission engineering and project management. Prior to
his tenure with SDG&amp;E he worked on electrical transmission and distribution engineering for Arizona&#146;s Salt River Project for 10 years. Mr. Winter served in the United States Army as a test officer on the Nike-X Anti-Ballistic Missile System
at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. He remained active in the Army Reserves, attaining the rank of Colonel prior to his retirement from the Reserves in 1995. Mr. Winter holds professional engineering licenses in both California and Arizona
and a private pilot license. Raised in Idaho, Mr. Winter graduated from the University of Idaho with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
