Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The disposition of Common Shares, which shares were held in reporting person's accounts at State Street Bank and Trust Company pursuant to the terms of the NSTAR Deferred Compensation Plan, was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on September 4, 2012.
(2)	This report is made to correct a report on Form 4 filed on October 19, 2012 that incorrectly reported 34,581 shares as having all been sold on October 17, 2012. The correct dates of the dispositions of the 34,581 shares are as follows: October 5, 2012 (1,958 shares); October 9, 2012 (272 shares); October 17, 2012 (30,445 shares); and October 31, 2012 (1,906 shares).
(3)	Phantom shares held in the NSTAR Deferred Compensation Plan. Each phantom share represents the right to receive the cash value of one Common Share upon a distribution event, following vesting. Additional phantom shares are issued upon the automatic reinvestment of dividend-equivalents exempt from the line item reporting under SEC Rule 16a-11.
