in either case, may terminate this Agreement by notice to the other party designating the date of early termination and delivered to the other party no less than ten (10) days before such early termination date.

(c)                                  In the event of an early termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(b), no Termination Amount shall be payable by either party. In the event of an early termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the applicable Terminating Party shall calculate in good faith an amount (if any) to be received by it as a result of the termination of this Agreement (the “Termination Amount”) equal to:

(i)                                     If the Buyer is the Terminating Party, the then-applicable Buyer Exposure Amount plus any Costs incurred by the Buyer; and

(e)                                  In the event of an early termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the Terminating Party may exercise and enforce each and all of the rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement and, in accordance with Article 9, the applicable Credit Support provided by the other party. In addition, in the event of an early termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(a), if the Terminating Party is the Seller, Seller may exercise and enforce, in any order, (i) each and all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable law and (ii) each and all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Assignment Agreement.

(g)                                 (i) In the event of a termination of this Agreement, each party shall pay to the other all amounts due the other under this Agreement for all periods prior to termination.

(ii)                                  The amounts due pursuant to subsection (i) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the billing date for such charges plus interest thereon from the date of early termination until the date paid. Interest shall be calculated at,

b.                                      in the case of an Event of Termination, the Interest Rate

(iii)                               The amounts payable under this Section 5.2 shall constitute the only amounts due upon the termination of this Agreement by either party, and no party shall be required to pay any amounts upon termination in excess of the amounts specified in this Section 5.2. The right to terminate this Agreement and recover the amounts and exercise the rights specified in this Section 5.2 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties in the event of an early termination of this Agreement as a result of an Event of Default or Event of Termination.

(h)                                 THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE NON-DEFAULTING PARTY MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED IN AMOUNTS THAT MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IN THE EVENT THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AS A RESULT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE SCHEDULED TERM. THEREFORE, THROUGH THE CALCULATION OF THE TERMINATION AMOUNT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED ON SUMS THAT THE PARTIES AGREE ARE REASONABLE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE DAMAGE IDENTIFIED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, AND IT IS FURTHER UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT PAYMENT OF SUCH SUMS IS IN LIEU OF ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR SUCH FAILURE. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DEFENSE AS TO THE VALIDITY OF ANY TERMINATION AMOUNT IN THIS

21

AGREEMENT ON THE GROUNDS THAT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE VOID AS PENALTIES.

(b)                                 On or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall provide to Seller, in the form of Exhibit C, an irrevocable letter of credit from an Acceptable Financial Institution (the “Initial Buyer LC”) in an amount equal to $***** (the “Baseline Buyer Credit Support Amount”). The Baseline Buyer Credit Support Amount assumes an amount of Costs equal to $***** but is based on a Seller Exposure Amount equal to zero (0). Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, Buyer shall maintain the Initial Buyer LC in effect for the remainder of the Term, provided that at any time Buyer may replace the Initial Buyer LC (or any subsequent Buyer Credit Support) with (i) cash, (ii) a replacement irrevocable letter of credit from an Acceptable Financial Institution in substantially the form of the Initial Buyer LC, (iii) a guarantee from a Creditworthy Affiliate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, or (iv) some combination of the foregoing, in each case, for a value equivalent to the Buyer Credit Support being replaced.

26

(c)           The Credit Support posted or caused to be posted by a party may be drawn by the other party if the party posting the Credit Support has (i) failed to pay any undisputed amounts due under this Agreement (or failed to pay disputed amounts into an independent escrow account as required by Section 6.2, pending resolution of the dispute) within ten (10) days after such amounts are due or (ii) failed to pay any amount disputed and found to be due under Article 12 within ten (10) days after such party’s receipt of notice resolving such dispute. If the Credit Support posted or caused to be posted by either party is drawn pursuant to this Section 9.0(c), the party posting or causing the posting of such Credit Support shall have the obligation to replenish or arrange the replenishment of the Credit Support to the amount required pursuant to Section 9.1 within ten (10) days after receipt of notice that the Credit Support has been drawn.

(d)           In the event that the Credit Support posted or caused to be posted by a party is in the form of a letter of credit, such letter of credit may be drawn by the beneficiary if such letter of credit is due to expire within thirty (30) days and the party providing such letter of credit has failed to deliver or cause to be delivered to the other party an extended or replacement letter of credit (or alternative replacement Credit Support in the form specified in Sections 9.0(a) or 9.0(b), as the case may be) meeting the requirements of this Agreement. In the event that the Credit Support posted or caused to be posted by a party is drawn pursuant to this Section 9.0(d), the party drawing on such Credit Support shall hold such amounts in trust as cash collateral and may use such cash collateral, or any portion thereof, for the purposes described in Section 9.0(c); provided, however, that if the other party shall thereafter replace or cause to be replaced such cash collateral with replacement Credit Support meeting the requirements of this Agreement, the party holding such cash collateral shall return the cash collateral, or any remaining portion thereof, to the other party as soon as practicable.

9.1           Increases or Reductions in Credit Support.

(a)           On each Credit Support Calculation Date, each party shall review (i) the credit rating of the other party (if any), and (ii) the amount of the Credit Support posted by the other party as compared to the applicable Exposure Amount as of such Credit Support Calculation Date.

(b)           If on any Credit Support Calculation Date, Buyer determines, acting reasonably, Seller’s creditworthiness to be Unsatisfactory, then Buyer may continue to require that Seller Credit Support be provided, and Seller agrees to provide such Seller Credit Support, in an amount equal to the applicable Baseline Seller Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Buyer Exposure Amount. If on any Credit Support Calculation Date, Seller determines, acting reasonably, Buyer’s creditworthiness to be Unsatisfactory, then Seller may continue to require that Buyer Credit Support be provided, and Buyer agrees to provide such Buyer Credit Support, in an amount equal to the Baseline Buyer Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Seller Exposure Amount. However, if either party’s credit rating is determined to be Investment Grade, then the other party shall return any undrawn Credit Support to such party within five (5) Business Days after such determination.

(c)           If on any Credit Support Calculation Date, (i) the sum of the applicable Baseline Seller Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Buyer Exposure Amount is greater

27

than the amount of Seller Credit Support and the amount of such difference exceeds the Threshold Amount, then Buyer may by written notice require that, within five (5) Business Days, Seller increase the amount of Seller Credit Support provided, and Seller agrees to provide such increased Seller Credit Support, by the amount the applicable Baseline Seller Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Buyer Exposure Amount exceeds the amount of Seller Credit Support then-posted. Any incremental Seller Credit Support required from Seller may be in the form of (i) cash, (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit from an Acceptable Financial Institution in substantially the form of the Initial Seller LC, (iii) a guarantee from a Creditworthy Affiliate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, or (iv) some combination of the foregoing, in each case, for a value equivalent to the Seller Credit Support being provided. Alternatively, if on any Credit Support Calculation Date, the sum of the applicable Baseline Seller Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Buyer Exposure Amount is less than the amount of Seller Credit Support (by more than the Threshold Amount), then Seller shall be entitled to reduce the amount of Seller Credit Support provided by the amount such Seller Credit Support exceeds the sum of the applicable Baseline Seller Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Buyer Exposure Amount, and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller as necessary to return or modify the undrawn Seller Credit Support no longer required within five (5) Business Days.

(d)           If on any Credit Support Calculation Date, (i) the sum of the applicable Baseline Buyer Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Seller Exposure Amount is greater than the amount of Buyer Credit Support and the amount of such difference exceeds the Threshold Amount, then Seller may by written notice require that, within five (5) Business Days, Buyer increase the amount of Buyer Credit Support provided, and Buyer agrees to provide such increased Buyer Credit Support, by the amount the applicable Baseline Buyer Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Seller Exposure Amount exceeds the amount of Buyer Credit Support then-posted. Any incremental Buyer Credit Support required from Buyer may be in the form of (i) cash, (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit from an Acceptable Financial Institution in substantially the form of the Initial Buyer LC, (iii) a guarantee from a Creditworthy Affiliate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, or (iv) some combination of the foregoing, in each case, for a value equivalent to the Buyer Credit Support being provided. Alternatively, if on any Credit Support Calculation Date, the sum of the applicable Baseline Buyer Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Seller Exposure Amount is less than the amount of Buyer Credit Support (by more than the Threshold Amount), then Buyer shall be entitled to reduce the amount of Buyer Credit Support provided by the amount such Buyer Credit Support exceeds the sum of the applicable Baseline Buyer Credit Support Amount plus the applicable Seller Exposure Amount, and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer as necessary to return or modify the undrawn Buyer Credit Support no longer required within five (5) Business Days.

(e)           If at any time, the credit rating of a financial institution providing Credit Support in the form of a letter of credit no longer qualifies as an Acceptable Financial Institution or the credit rating of an Affiliate providing Credit Support in the form of a guarantee no longer qualifies as a Creditworthy Affiliate, then in either case the party posting such Credit Support shall provide replacement Credit Support in the form specified in Sections 9.0(a) or 9.0(b), as the case may be.

(f)            Each party shall return to the other party, as applicable, any undrawn Credit Support on or before the date that is the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date of

28

termination of this Agreement, and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the date on which the party providing the Credit Support has paid the other party all amounts owed to such party under this Agreement.

DISAGREEMENTS

12.0         Negotiations.  The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve all disputes arising out of or related to or in connection with this Agreement promptly by negotiation, as follows. Any party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Executives of both parties at levels one level above the personnel who have previously been involved in the dispute shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within ten (10) days after delivery of such notice, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30) days from the referral of the dispute to senior executives, or if no meeting of senior executives has taken place within fifteen (15) days after such referral, either party may initiate arbitration as provided hereinafter. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential.

12.1         Arbitration.

(a)           If the negotiation process provided for in Section 12.0 has not resolved the dispute, the dispute shall be decided by binding arbitration in the City of New York, New York in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (except as expressly provided otherwise herein). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This agreement to arbitrate and any other agreement or consent to arbitrate entered into in accordance herewith will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law of any court having jurisdiction. Notice of demand for arbitration must be filed in writing with the other party to this Agreement. The demand must be made within a reasonable time after dispute has arisen. In no event may the demand for arbitration be made if the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such dispute is barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Any arbitration may be consolidated with any other arbitration proceedings between the parties commenced under this Section 12.1. The results of the arbitration shall be binding, and the award of the arbitrator shall be specifically enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction.

31

(b)           Either party may commence the arbitration by giving to the other written notice in sufficient detail of the existence and nature of any dispute proposed to be arbitrated. The parties shall attempt to agree on a person with respect to the matter at issue to serve as arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) days of such notice, each shall then appoint one individual to serve as an arbitrator within 30 days of such notice and the two (2) thus appointed shall select a third arbitrator to serve as chairman of the panel of arbitrators; and such three (3) arbitrators shall determine all matters by majority vote; provided however, if the two (2) arbitrators appointed by the parties are unable to agree upon the appointment of the third arbitrator within ten (10) days after their appointment, both shall give written notice of such failure to agree to the parties, and, if the parties fail to agree upon the selection of such third arbitrator within five (5) days of such notice, then either of the parties upon written notice to the other may require such appointment from, and pursuant to the rules of, the American Arbitration Association for commercial arbitration. Any arbitrator appointed shall be a present or former executive of an electric utility, or private power company, or an attorney, in each case with substantial experience in electric power purchase agreements. Prior to appointment, each arbitrator shall agree to conduct such arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)           The parties shall have sixty (60) calendar days after appointment of all arbitrators to perform discovery and present evidence and argument to the arbitrators. During that period, the arbitrators shall be available to receive and consider all such evidence as is relevant and, within reasonable limits due to the restricted time period, to hear as much argument as is feasible, giving a fair allocation of time to each party to the arbitration. The arbitrators shall use all reasonable means to expedite discovery and to sanction noncompliance with reasonable discovery requests or any discovery order. The arbitrators shall not consider any evidence or argument not presented during such period and shall not extend such period except by the written consent of both parties. At the conclusion of such period, the arbitrators shall have forty-five (45) calendar days to reach a determination.

(d)           The arbitrators shall have the right only to interpret and apply the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to order any remedy allowed by this Agreement, but may not change any term or condition of this Agreement, deprive either party of any right or remedy expressly provided hereunder, or provide any right or remedy that has been excluded hereunder.

(e)           The arbitrators shall give a written decision to the parties stating their findings of fact, conclusions of law and order, and shall furnish to each party a copy thereof signed by them within five (5) calendar days from the date of their determination. Each party shall pay the cost of the arbitrator or arbitrators, with respect to those issues as to which they do not prevail, as determined by the arbitrator or arbitrators.

12.2         Settlement Discussions.  The parties agree that no statements of position or offers of settlement made in the course of the dispute process described in this Article 12 above will be offered into evidence for any purpose in any litigation or arbitration between the parties, nor will any such statements or offers of settlement be used in any manner against either party in any such litigation or arbitration. Further, no such statements or offers of settlement shall constitute an admission or waiver of rights by either party in connection with any such litigation

32

or arbitration. At the request of either party, any such statements and offers of settlement, and all copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to the party providing the same.

12.3         Preliminary Injunctive Relief.  Nothing in this Article 12 shall preclude, or be construed to preclude, the resort by either party to a court of competent jurisdiction solely for the purposes of securing a temporary or preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo or avoid irreparable harm pending arbitration pursuant to this Article 12.

12.4         Confidential Proceedings.  The fact that either party has invoked the provisions of this Article 12, the arbitration proceedings and related communications, and the decision of the arbitrators shall all be considered Confidential Business Information subject to Article 10 hereof, and the arbitrators shall make no disclosure of any confidential information that would not be permitted by a party under Article 10.

12.5         Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York and the courts of New York State sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, in each case, for any action or proceeding filed by the other party (a) to enforce any award or decision of any arbitration panel duly appointed under this Agreement to resolve any dispute between the parties, and (b) regarding any matter or issue that an arbitration panel declines to hear, and each party waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have regarding the choice of such forum, whether based on personal jurisdiction, venue, forum non conveniens or on any other grounds. Buyer and Seller irrevocably consent to the service of process outside of the territorial jurisdiction of such courts by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Buyer’s or Seller’s, as the case may be, last known address as shown in this Agreement with the same effect as if such party were a resident of the State of New York and had been lawfully served in such State. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to service of process in any other manner permitted by law. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

EXPOSURE AMOUNT CALCULATION

Part I

Determination of the Buyer Exposure Amount

The Buyer Exposure Amount shall be calculated as the product of (a) the difference between the ***** starting in the second quarter of calendar year 2007 and for the remainder of the Term. The resulting amount shall be rounded upwards for any fractional amount to the next $10,000. If the Buyer Exposure Amount is determined to be a negative number, the Buyer Exposure Amount shall be deemed to be zero (0).

Sample Calculation of the Buyer Exposure Amount

For example, if there are eight calendar quarters remaining in the Term, and the Initial Mass Hub Index and the current Mass Hub Index are:

Then the Buyer Exposure Amount shall be calculated as:

(***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) = US$*****,

which is then rounded to US$*****.

Part II

Determination of Seller Exposure Amount

The Seller Exposure Amount shall be calculated as the product of (a) the difference between ***** starting in the second quarter of calendar year 2007 and for the remainder of the Term. The resulting amount shall be rounded upwards for any fractional amount to the next $10,000. If the Seller Exposure Amount is determined to be a negative number, the Seller Exposure Amount shall be deemed to be zero (0).

Sample Calculation of the Seller Exposure Amount

For example, if there are eight calendar quarters remaining in the Term, and the current Mass Hub Index is:

Then the Seller Exposure Amount shall be calculated as:

(***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) + (***** * *****) = US$*****,

which is then rounded to US$*****

SCHEDULE E

INITIAL MASS HUB INDEX

For the remainder of the Term, when calculating exposure amounts, quarterly prices shall be determined by the hourly-weighted average of daily prices, if available, or if daily prices are not available, monthly prices, in either case of both peak and off-peak mid-market prices as appropriate. Mid-market prices shall be the arithmetic average of offer and bid prices. For example, if the appropriate broker-provided prices are:

Then the price to be used for this quarter shall be calculated as: *****

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.                                       For each Day during the Term, Seller shall advise Buyer in writing by fax or electronic mail or internet posting of the anticipated Delivered Electricity by the Facility for each hour of each such Day based upon the Seller’s good faith estimates (the “Daily Production Schedule”) on or before 10:00 o’clock a.m. Atlantic Prevailing Time on the day preceding such Day. The Seller authorizes the Buyer to schedule transmission service with transmission providers (either utilizing the firm transmission capacity reserved by the Buyer, or, if such capacity has not been reserved or is insufficient, interruptible transmission service obtained by the Buyer) between the Delivery Point and the Market Delivery Point and to re-sell the Delivered Electricity purchased under this Agreement into ISO-NE at the Market Delivery Point based on the Seller’s Daily Production Schedules.

2.                                       The Seller may request changes to a Daily Production Schedule after it is delivered to the Buyer. Provided such request is made at least 120 minutes prior to the deadline for the Buyer to adjust its nominations and schedules with transmission providers, ISO-NE and other system operators based on the then prevailing market rules, policies, tariffs, procedures and protocols of such entities (the “Scheduling Deadline”), the Buyer will revise such nominations and schedules in accordance with the Seller’s request and the Daily Production Schedule shall be adjusted accordingly.

3.                                       If the Seller’s request to change its Daily Production Schedule is made less than 90 minutes prior to the Scheduling Deadline, the Buyer will use reasonable efforts in the circumstances to adjust its nominations and schedules with Transmission Providers, ISO-NE and other system operators and if it is able to do so, the Daily Production Schedule shall be adjusted accordingly

4.                                       Authorized Representatives. As a means of securing effective cooperation and interchanges of information and of providing consultation on a prompt and orderly basis between the parties in connection with various administrative, commercial and technical issues which may arise during the performance of this Agreement, the Operating Procedures also provide that both parties appoint an authorized representative (with respect to each party, the “Authorized Representative”) and may appoint an alternate (with respect to each party, the “Alternate”) to act in its Authorized Representative’s absence. The Authorized Representatives and Alternates shall be managers well-experienced with regard to matters relating to the implementation of the parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement with full authority to act for and on behalf of the parties appointing them. Each party will notify the other in writing of its Authorized Representative and Alternate and these appointments will remain in full force and effect until written notice of substitution is delivered to the other party.

The Authorized Representatives (and/or the Alternates) shall meet on a regular basis, but no more frequently than semi-annually during the Term. Such meetings may be conducted in person or via telephone or other electronic means, as the Parties may agree. During these meetings, the Parties shall specifically discuss any changes in the New Brunswick and New England energy markets that may impact the calculation of damages and costs payable under Section 3.7 of this Agreement in the case of a non-delivery of Delivered Electricity into 1SO-NE.

5.                                       Scheduling and Settlement.

a.                             Since the scheduling of energy is required by NBSO, ISA, MPS, NBP, MEPCO, Transenergie (Quebec), and ISO-NE, (i) the Seller will provide to the Buyer a forecast, day ahead and at regular intraday intervals pursuant to these Operating Procedures, as well as provide metering information pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement, (ii) each party shall designate Authorized Representatives to communicate hereunder with regard to scheduling and related matters, and (iii) Buyer will be responsible for arranging for the scheduling of Delivered Electricity to be sold and delivered. The Buyer will schedule the Delivered Electricity pursuant to the tariff, market rules and the operating procedures of each transmission provider(s)/administrator(s) and/or market administrator(s), as applicable. Each party shall comply with the applicable operating policies, criteria and/or guidelines of FERC and any regional or subregional reliability council.

b.                            Buyer shall indemnify and make whole Seller for any increased costs or loss of revenue, including but not limited to imbalancing costs incurred by Seller or loss of electrical energy, REC and/or Capacity Value revenue caused by Buyer’s scheduling errors.

c.                             Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer any and all ISO-NE settlement account data or other data necessary to create RECs in the NEPOOL GIS system for the Seller’s account for all Delivered Electricity delivered to ISO-NE. From time to time, a third party may be necessary to transfer such settlement account data or other data. At Seller’s reasonable request, Buyer shall enter into an agreement with such third party in order to create RECs in the NEPOOL GIS system for the Seller’s account for all Delivered Electricity delivered to ISO-NE. During the Term, Buyer agrees to take any further reasonable action involving ISO-NE or the NEPOOL GIS or otherwise to ensure that the entire amount of RECs which Seller receives or is credited (or should receive or be credited) through generation at the Facility and/or as owner of the Facility will be deposited into Seller’s NEPOOL GIS account and, in no event, shall Buyer take any action which would or could cause such RECs to be issued to any other party or transferred to any account other than Seller’s account within the NEPOOL GIS, except in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.
