4 PRISM Advanced Control Systems invented the industry s leading applications platform our Precision Real-Time Information System Manager known as PRISM. Our product portfolio and enterprise applications excel in providing utility customer benefits. PRISM technology solutions that benefit utilities include: SCADA Deliver real-time decision-making capability & system situational awareness Increase system reliability with proactive problem detection and resolution Integrate into the enterprise with MultiSpeak, ICCP and other interfaces Build a solid foundation for advanced smart grid functionality Distribution Management Maximize efficiency and safety with a truly integrated platform for SCADA, distribution and outage management Increase situational awareness with a real-time network model and powerful visualization tools Reduce outage impacts with automated Fault Detection, Isolation and Restoration Reduce demand and system losses with Integrated Volt/VAR control Coordinate and manage operation of Distributed Energy Resources Train, prepare and test with the XpertSimTM Distribution System Simulator Outage Management Our Vision Photo courtesy of Marietta Power and Activu We will continually be recognized by the energy industry and trusted by our customers as the go-to real-time energy management solution provider of the highest quality innovative products and services. 4 Improve performance with a real-time operational solution, even during the most severe storm events Discover, locate and restore power in a more informed and efficient manner Maximize crew effectiveness & performance with integrated mobile tools Decrease maintenance costs through a common network model supporting all major GIS platforms Integrate CIS, IVR and AMI systems easily through industry-standard interfaces Mobile Rapidly inform customers of network outages and restoration progress Manage power outages and major storm events more effectively Extend advanced DMS and OMS functionality to the field Provide work crews with focused, critical real-time information that is map-enabled Perform power system damage assessment and reporting Improve customer engagement & satisfaction Keep executive management up-to-date on all network operational activities 9

5 Our customer-relationship secret is trust We understand how critical energy management is, and that the industry is challenged with securing the supply of energy to consumers in a sustainable way. We are committed to a long-term relationship as a trusted partner. Kevin Sullivan Chief Executive Officer ACS Why trust ACS for your success? Real-Time Integrated Platform Energy is delivered at near light speed. Our Precision Real-Time Information System Management (PRISMTM) platform evolved organically over 40 years, enabling energy management decisions that must occur in real-time. The edges of our grid are chang- ing with the deployment of disruptive technologies, such as Distributed Energy Resources, that also require integration and control in real-time. PRISM addresses current and future grid operational challenges. Advanced Energy Management Roberto González GM, DELSUR El Salvador We re excited about significantly reducing outage time with ACS mobile capabilities. 8 In order to manage current and future grids, advanced applications must be able to rapidly adapt to a continuously evolving environment with ever increasing disruptive events (extreme weather/forced outages). Our single, common network model enables advanced applications to work in concert with operators to optimize grid efficiency. The ability to manage real-time events and effectively adapt and restore power while maintaining grid stability is of paramount importance to the industry. The Human Grid Now more than ever, technology is allowing direct, personal engagement of the utility consumer. Not only does this enable more informed decisions on the part of the consumer regarding energy usage, but it also allows the utility to leverage grid-edge information to further enhance the overall efficiency of the network. This personal engagement optimizes the use of existing assets, including distributed resources, while minimizing the environmental impact of network operations. Leveraging advanced controls with environmentally responsible behavior through the human connection is the Human Grid. 5
