ARTICLE II:  LOAN OF BOND PROCEEDS; ISSUE OF SERIES F
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS; THE ASSIGNMENT AND PLEDGE

Section 201.   Issue of Series F First Mortgage Bonds; Confirmation
Concerning Series F First Mortgage Bonds.

(a)  Issue of Series F First Mortgage Bonds.(11)  The Authority shall issue the
1991 Series D Bonds pursuant to the Act in the amount, in the form and with the
terms provided herein, and shall loan to the Company such amount (the "Loan") to
finance Project Costs as hereinafter provided.  The Company agrees to repay the
Loan of the aggregate principal amount of the 1991 Series D Bonds in the amounts
and at the times necessary to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds by making the payments required under Section 308, and to evidence and
secure the Company's obligation to do so and to secure the Company's
reimbursement and certain other obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement,
the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee a like aggregate principal
amount of its Series F First Mortgage Bonds in the form set forth in the First
Mortgage Bond Indenture.  Except in the case of Bonds that are paid or are to be
paid by the issuance of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds or by funds drawn under the
Credit Facility, upon payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on any of
the Bonds and payment of all accrued interest in connection therewith, whether
at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, or upon provision
for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Section 204, Series
F First Mortgage Bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds so paid, or for the payment of which such
provision has been made, shall be deemed fully paid and the obligations of
the Company thereunder terminated as provided in the First Mortgage Indenture
and shall be surrendered by the Trustee to the First Mortgage Bond Trustee
for cancellation.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the First Mortgage Bond
Trustee by telephone, confirmed in writing, of any payment on the Bonds.  In
accordance with the terms thereof, the Series F First Mortgage Bonds shall be
issued to and registered in the name of the Trustee and shall not be sold,
assigned, pledged or transferred, except to effect transfer to any successor
Trustee hereunder.  The Series F First Mortgage Bonds bear interest, have a
maturity date and redemption provisions corresponding to the Bonds.  Payments
of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds shall upon receipt by the Trustee be deemed to constitute
payments of corresponding amounts by the Company in respect of the Bonds
pursuant to Subsection 308(a).

(b)  Confirmation Concerning Series F First Mortgage Bonds(12)

The Authority shall issue the 1992 Series D Bonds pursuant to the Act in the
amount, in the form and with the terms provided herein, and shall loan to the
Company such amount (the "First Supplemental Loan") to refund the principal
of $75,000,000 of the 1991 Series D Bonds as hereinafter provided.  The
Company agrees to repay the First Supplemental Loan of the aggregate
principal amount of the 1992 Series D Bonds in the amounts and at the times
necessary to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds by
making the payments required under Section 308 of this Agreement, and for
such purpose the First Supplemental Loan is to be treated as part of the Loan
made pursuant to this Agreement.  To evidence and secure the Company's
obligation to repay the Loan, including the First Supplemental Loan, and to
secure the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations under the
Reimbursement Agreement, the Company issued and delivered to the Trustee on
the date of issuance of the 1991 Series D Bonds a like aggregate principal
amount of its Series F First Mortgage Bonds.  The Company hereby confirms
that the Series F First Mortgage Bonds evidence and secure the Company's
obligations to make payments in amounts and at times necessary to pay
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all of the Outstanding Bonds,
including the Outstanding 1992 Series D Bonds and the Outstanding 1991 Series
D Bonds and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations under
the Reimbursement Agreement.

Section 202.   Assignment and Pledge of the Authority.

The Authority, for consideration paid as hereinabove acknowledged, hereby
irrevocably assigns and pledges to the Trustee in trust for the security of
the Bondowners and the Bank upon the terms hereof all the Authority's right,
title and interest in (i) respect of the Loan and all payments thereon, (ii)
all moneys and securities held by the Trustee for deposit in, or deposited
in, the Bond Fund and investment earnings thereon, (iii) the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds, all bonds issued in replacement thereof or in exchange or
substitution therefor and all payments on, and proceeds of, the foregoing,
and (iv) any collateral security for, and all proceeds of, any of the
foregoing.  The Trustee shall hold (a) all the rights, title and interest
received under this section and (b) all revenues (exclusive of funds to which
the Trustee is entitled in its own right as fees, reimbursement, indemnity or
otherwise) received from the Company or derived from the exercise of the
Authority's powers hereunder (which shall include all payments under
Subsection 308(a) and in respect of the Series F First Mortgage Bonds) in
trust for the security of the Bondowners and the Bank in accordance with the
provisions hereof.

Section 203.   Further Assurances
 .
The Company and the Authority shall from time to time execute, deliver and
record and file such instruments as the Trustee may reasonably require to
confirm, perfect or maintain the security created hereby and the assignment
and pledge of rights hereunder.

Section 204.   Defeasance.

When there are in the Bond Fund sufficient funds, or non-callable and
non-prepayable Government Obligations in such principal amounts, bearing
interest at such rates and with such maturities (including, with respect to
any Bonds in the Weekly Mode, maturities no greater than seven (7) days to
fund the payment of Purchase Price) as will provide, without reinvestment,
sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price, principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds in full as and when such amounts become due, and
when all the rights hereunder of the Authority and the Trustee have been
provided for (1) the Bondowners will cease to be entitled to any right,
benefit or security under this Agreement except the right to receive payment
of the funds deposited and held for payment and other rights set forth below
or which by their nature cannot be satisfied prior to or simultaneously with
termination of the lien hereof, (2) the security interests created by this
Agreement (except in such funds and investments) shall terminate, and (3) the
Authority and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments as may
be necessary to discharge the lien and security interests created hereunder;
provided, however, that (a) with respect to any Bonds that are supported by a
Credit Facility, all such funds and obligations in the Bond Fund shall be
Eligible Funds; (b) if, within ninety (90) days of such deposit, any
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds are not to be redeemed in full prior to maturity
or paid in full at maturity, the Trustee shall have received on the date of
the deposit an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit and
the investment thereof will not affect the exclusion of interest on such
Bonds from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes, (c) if any such Bonds are to be redeemed prior to the maturity
thereof, such Bonds shall have been duly called for redemption or irrevocable
instructions for such a call shall have been given to the Trustee and (d)
either the Trustee shall have received written confirmation from Moody's, if
the Bonds are then rated by Moody's, and from S&P, if the Bonds are then
rated by S&P, that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal or
reduction of its rating on the Bonds, or, if none of the Bonds to be defeased
are in the Weekly Mode, the Bonds are to be redeemed on or before the next
Purchase Date.  Upon such defeasance, the funds and investments required to
pay or redeem the Bonds in full shall be irrevocably set aside for that
purpose.  If at the time established for defeasance the Bonds are then rated
by Moody's, a mathematical verification that the requirements set forth in
this Section 204 have been satisfied prepared by a firm of independent public
accountants who are recognized on a nationwide basis for skill in the
preparation of such verifications and selected by the Company shall be
provided to the Trustee and to Moody's; provided, however, that Moody's may
waive such verification after notification by the Company of the terms of any
such defeasance.  The Trustee shall cause to be mailed to all Bondowners
within fifteen (15) days of the conditions of this section being met in the
manner herein specified for redemption of Bonds a notice stating that such
conditions have been met and that the lien of this Agreement has been
discharged, and, if the Bonds are to be redeemed prior to maturity,
specifying the date of redemption and the redemption price.  Any funds or
property held by the Trustee for payment of the Bonds under this section and
not required for such payment shall (unless there is an Event of Default
hereunder, in which case they shall be applied as provided in Section 604),
after satisfaction of all the rights of the Authority and the Trustee, and
payment of the rebate, if any, due to the United States under IRC
<section>148(f), and upon such indemnification, if any, as the Authority or
the Trustee may reasonably require, be distributed to the Company.  If Bonds
are not presented for final payment when due and moneys are available in the
hands of the Trustee therefor, the Trustee shall, without liability for
interest thereon, continue to hold the moneys held for that purpose subject to
Subsection 304(c), and interest shall cease to accrue on the principal amount
represented thereby.

When there are in the Bond Fund funds or securities as described in the
preceding paragraph as are sufficient to pay the Purchase Price, principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on, some but not all of the Bonds in full
as and when such amounts become due and the other conditions in the preceding
paragraph have been met with respect to such Bonds, the particular Bonds (or
portions thereof) for which such provision for payment shall have been
considered made shall be selected by lot by the Trustee and thereupon the
Trustee and the Authority shall take similar action to release the security
interests created by this Agreement in respect of such Bonds (except in such
funds or securities and investments thereon), subject however to compliance
with the applicable conditions set forth in the provisos above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, those provisions relating to the maturity of
Bonds, interest payments and dates thereof, the tender of Bonds for purchase
and the Trustee's remedies with respect thereto, and provisions relating to
exchange, transfer and registration of Bonds, replacement and cancellation of
Bonds, the holding of moneys in trust and the duties of the Trustee in
connection with all of the foregoing and the fees, expenses and indemnities
of the Trustee and the Authority, shall remain in full force and effect and
shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Authority, the Company and the
Bondowners notwithstanding the release and discharge of this Agreement and
the lien on the Series F First Mortgage Bonds created hereby until the Bonds
have been actually paid in full.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if moneys or governmental
obligations have been deposited or set aside with the Trustee pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 204 and the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds shall not, in fact, been actually paid in full, no
amendment to the provisions of this Section 204 will be made without the
consent of the owner of each of the Bonds affected thereby.

the Paying Agent thereof electronically or by telephone not later than 1:00
P.M. on the Effective Date, and if by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing.  The Paying Agent shall give written notice of the Flexible Rate to
the Trustee, the Bank and the Company.  Each determination and
redetermination of the Flexible Rate shall be conclusive and binding on the
Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Bank, the Company and the
Bondowners.  If the Remarketing Agent fails for any reason to determine the
Flexible Rate or Rate Period for any Bond while in the Flexible Mode, or if
for any reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be invalid
or unenforceable, that Bond shall be deemed to be in a Rate Period of one day
and the Flexible Rate shall be equal to (A) for the 1991 Series D Bonds, 100%
of the rate on thirty (30) day high-grade unsecured commercial paper notes
sold through dealers by major corporations published in the edition of The
Wall Street Journal published on the day on which such rate is determined, or
if such rate is not published on that day, the most recent publication of
such rate, and (B) for any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds, 100% of the Prime
Commercial Paper A-1/P-1 (30 days) rate shown in the table captioned
"Short-Term Tax-Exempt Yields" in the edition of The Bond Buyer published on
the day on which such rate is determined or, if such rate is not published on
that day, the most recent publication of such rate.

In determining the Flexible Rate and remarketing Bonds in the Flexible Mode
the Remarketing Agent shall (1) not offer Rate Periods greater than the
maximum number of days of interest coverage under the Credit Facility at the
Maximum Interest Rate less eight (8) days or extending beyond the expiration
date of the Credit Facility less eight (8) days (2) not offer Rate Periods
applicable to Bonds to be converted extending beyond the day preceding any
scheduled conversion of the Bonds to another Mode or the final maturity of
the Bonds, and (3) follow any written directions of the Company
Representative, not inconsistent with the preceding clauses (1) and (2), as
to the Rate Periods to be made available.  The Company, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent shall cooperate to ensure compliance
with this requirement.

(ii) Conversions from the Flexible Mode.  The Bonds in the Flexible Mode or
any portion of such Bonds may be converted at the election of the Company
from the Flexible Mode to the Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode as
provided in the forms of the Flexible Bonds, so long as no Default hereunder
exists as certified to the Trustee by the Company Representative.  If Bonds
that are to be converted to the Weekly or Multiannual Mode are to be
supported by a Credit Facility in their new Mode, no such conversion shall be
effective unless the Company shall have delivered to the Paying Agent by
11:00 A.M. on the Conversion Date a Credit Facility in the minimum required
face amount for the applicable Mode as provided in Section 317, and with an
expiration date not earlier than (i) 364 days(16) in the case of any Bonds
converted to the Weekly Mode and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the end of
the Rate Period in the case of Bonds in the Multiannual Mode.  Any Bonds in
or to be converted to the Weekly Mode shall be supported by a Credit
Facility.  Written notice of a conversion from the Flexible Mode shall be
given by the Company to the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Bank, the Remarketing Agent, Moody's and S&P not fewer than twenty-five (25)
nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days before the Conversion Date,
which date shall be specified by the Company in such notice and shall not be
earlier than the day following the expiration of the Rate Period with the
longest remaining term then in effect for the Bonds to be converted.  If any
of the Bonds are to be converted to the Multiannual Mode, such notice shall
include the Company's election whether or not the Bonds as converted are to
be supported by a Credit Facility.  Prior to the proposed Conversion Date,
the Remarketing Agent shall not offer Rate Periods for the Bonds to be
converted extending beyond the proposed Conversion Date.  Conversions to the
Fixed Rate Mode shall also be governed by Subsection 301(g).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the preconditions to conversion to a new
Mode established by the preceding paragraph and with respect to any
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds, Section 404, are not met by 11:00 A.M. on the
Conversion Date, the Paying Agent shall deem the proposed conversion to have
failed and shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent.
In such event, the Paying Agent shall by 1:00 P.M. on the proposed Conversion
Date draw on the Credit Facility an amount which is sufficient to pay the
Purchase Price on such date of all Bonds that were to have been converted.
In no event shall the failure of Bonds to be converted to another Mode for
any reason be deemed to be, in and of itself, a Default or Event of Default
under this Agreement, so long as the Purchase Price of all Bonds required to
be purchased is made available as provided above.

(iii)     Mandatory Tender for Purchase.  On each Effective Date, Bonds in
the Flexible Mode are subject to mandatory tender for purchase as provided in
the forms of Flexible Bonds.

(e)  Weekly Mode.

(i)  Determination of Weekly Rates.  The Remarketing Agent shall determine
the Weekly Rate as provided in the forms of Weekly Bonds and shall notify the
Paying Agent thereof electronically or by telephone not later than 4:00 P.M.
on the Business Day preceding the Effective Date, and if by telephone,
promptly confirmed in writing.  The Paying Agent shall give written notice of
the Weekly Rate to the Trustee, the Bank, and the Company.  Each
determination and redetermination of the Weekly Rate shall be conclusive and
binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Bank, the
Company and the Bondowners.

(ii) Conversions from Weekly Mode.  The Bonds in the Weekly Mode or any
portion of such Bonds may be converted on the first Business Day of any
calendar month at the election of the Company from the Weekly Mode to a
Multiannual, Flexible, or Fixed Rate Mode, as provided in the forms of Weekly
Bonds, so long as no Default hereunder exists as certified to the Trustee by
a Company Representative.(17)  If Bonds that are to be converted to the Flexible
or Multiannual Mode are to be supported by a Credit Facility in their new Mode,
no such conversion shall be effective unless the Company shall have delivered to
the Paying Agent by 11:00 A.M. on the Conversion Date a Credit Facility in the
minimum required face amount for the applicable Mode as provided in Section 317
and with an expiration date not earlier than (i) 364 days(18) from the
Conversion Date in the case of Bonds converted to the
Flexible Mode and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the end of the Rate
Period in the case of Bonds in the Multiannual Mode.  Any Bonds in or to be
converted to the Flexible Mode shall be supported by a Credit Facility,
except in the case of a failed optional conversion which causes the Bonds to
automatically convert to the Flexible Mode with a one day Rate Period.
Written notice of a conversion of Bonds from the Weekly Mode shall be given
by the Company to the Authority, the Trustee, the Bank, the Paying Agent, the
Remarketing Agent, Moody's and S&P not fewer than forty-five (45) nor more
than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed Conversion Date, which date shall
be specified by the Company in such notice.  If any of the Bonds are to be in
the Multiannual Mode, such notice shall include the Company's election
whether or not the converted Bonds are to be supported by a Credit Facility.
Notice of a conversion of Bonds from the Weekly Mode and the mandatory tender
of Bonds for purchase on such Conversion Date shall be given to the owners of
such Bonds as provided in Subparagraph 301(e)(iv) (B) and the forms of Weekly
Bonds.  Conversions to the Fixed Rate Mode shall also be governed by
Subsection 301(g).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the preconditions to conversion to another
Mode established by the preceding paragraph and, with respect to any
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds, Section 404, are not met by 11:00 A.M. on the
Conversion Date, the Paying Agent shall deem the proposed conversion to have
failed and shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent,
and the Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender as provided in
Subparagraph 301(e)(iv)(B).  In such event, the Paying Agent shall by 1:00
P.M. on the proposed conversion date draw on the Credit Facility an amount
which is sufficient to pay the Purchase Price on such date on all Bonds that
were to have been converted.  In no event shall the failure of Bonds to be
converted to another Mode for any reason be, in and of itself, deemed to be a
Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, so long as the Purchase
Price of all Bonds required to be purchased is made available as provided
above.

(iii)     Bondowners' Option to Tender Bonds in Weekly Mode.  Bonds in the
Weekly Mode are subject to tender, at the election of the owner thereof, in
the manner and subject to the limitations described in the forms of Weekly
Bonds.  The owners of Tendered Bonds shall receive on the Delivery Date 100%
of the principal amount of the Tendered Bonds plus accrued interest to the
Purchase Date, provided that if the Purchase Date is an interest payment
date, accrued interest shall be paid separately, and not as part of the
Purchase Price on such date.  The purchase of Tendered Bonds shall not
extinguish the debt represented by such Bonds which shall remain Outstanding
and unpaid under this Agreement.

The Paying Agent shall accept all Tendered Bonds properly tendered to it for
purchase as provided in the forms of Weekly Bonds and in this Paragraph
301(e)(iii); provided, however, that the Paying Agent shall not accept any
Tendered Bonds and the Purchase Price therefor shall not be paid if at the
time of tender or on the Purchase Date the principal of the Bonds shall have
been accelerated pursuant to Section 602 and such acceleration shall not have
been annulled.

The Bondowner's Election Notice delivered to the Paying Agent as provided in
the forms of Weekly Bonds prior to the Purchase Date of Tendered Bonds shall
be in substantially the form provided in the forms of Weekly Bond.

As soon as practicable after receiving notice of a tender of Bonds under this
section, the Paying Agent shall notify the Remarketing Agent, the Company,
the Bank and the Trustee by telephone promptly confirmed in writing of the
amount of Tendered Bonds and the specified Purchase Date.

(iv) Events Requiring Mandatory Tender of Weekly Bonds.

(A)  Expiration of Credit Facility without Substitution or Replacement;
Substitution of Credit Facility.  The Bonds in the Weekly Mode are subject to
mandatory tender for purchase as provided in the forms of Weekly Bonds in
connection with the expiration or termination of the Credit Facility (other
than in connection with the conversion to a new Mode) or in connection with
the substitution of a Credit Facility, unless the Trustee receives written
notice from Moody's, if the Bonds are then rated by Moody's, or S&P, if the
Bonds are then rated by S&P, that such substitution will not result in a
reduction or withdrawal (excluding a withdrawal or reduction resulting from a
change in Modes) of the ratings on the Bonds. At least forty (40) days prior
to the mandatory tender date, the Trustee shall give notice to the Paying
Agent as to whether or not it has received the notices described in the
immediately preceding sentence from Moody's and S&P, and if the Trustee has
not received such notices or if the Credit Facility is expiring without
substitution or replacement, the Paying Agent shall give notice to the
Bondowners of the mandatory tender of the Bonds at least thirty (30) days
prior to the mandatory tender date.(19)

(B)  Change in Mode.  In the event that Bonds in the Weekly Mode are
converted to another Mode, such Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for
purchase upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice from the
Paying Agent to the Bondowners as provided in the forms of Bonds, which
notice shall state that the Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for
purchase.

(f)  Multiannual Mode
 .
(i)  Determination of Multiannual Rate.  The Remarketing Agent shall
determine the Multiannual Rate as provided in the forms of Multiannual Bonds
and shall notify the Paying Agent thereof electronically or by telephone not
later than 2:00 P.M. two (2) Business Days preceding the Effective Date, and
if by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing.  The Paying Agent shall give
written notice of the Multiannual Rate to the Trustee, the Bank, if
applicable, and the Company.  Each determination and redetermination of the
Multiannual Rate shall be conclusive and binding on the Authority, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Bank, the Company and the Bondowners.

(ii) Conversions from Multiannual Mode and Changes of Rate Period.  The Bonds
in the Multiannual Mode or any portion of such Bonds may be converted on any
Effective Date at the election of the Company from the Multiannual Mode to
the Weekly, Flexible or Fixed Rate Mode and may be converted within the
Multiannual Mode to a new Rate Period with the same or a different length as
provided in the forms of Multiannual Bonds so long as no Default hereunder
exists as certified to the Trustee by a Company Representative.  If Bonds
that are to be converted to the Flexible or Weekly Mode or to another Rate
Period within the Multiannual Mode are to be supported by a Credit Facility
in their new Mode, no such conversion shall be effective unless the Company
shall have delivered to the Paying Agent by 11:00 A.M. on the Conversion Date
a Credit Facility in the minimum required face amount for the applicable Mode
as provided in Section 317 and with an expiration date not earlier than (i)
364 days(20) from the Conversion Date in the case of Bonds converted to the
Flexible or Weekly Modes and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the end of the
Rate Period in the case of Bonds in the Multiannual Mode.  Any Bonds in or to
be converted to the Weekly or Flexible Mode shall be supported by a Credit
Facility, except in the case of a failed optional conversion which causes the
Bonds to automatically convert to the Flexible Mode with a one day Rate
Period.  Written notice of a change in Mode or Rate Period within the
Multiannual Mode shall be given by the Company to the Authority, the Trustee,
the Bank (if any), the Paying Agent, the Remarketing Agent, Moody's and S&P
not fewer than twenty-five (25) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the
proposed Conversion Date.  If the conversion is to a new Rate Period in the
Multiannual Mode, such notice shall include the Company's election whether or
not the converted Bonds are to be supported by a Credit Facility.  Conversion
to the Fixed Rate Mode shall also be governed by Subsection 301(g).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the preconditions to conversion to another
Mode or a new Rate Period within the Multiannual Mode established by the
preceding paragraph and, with respect to any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds,
Section 404, are not met by 11:00 A.M. on the Conversion Date, the Paying
Agent shall deem the proposed conversion to have failed and shall immediately
notify the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent.  If the Bonds that were to have
been converted are supported by a Credit Facility, the Paying Agent shall by
1:00 P.M. on the proposed conversion date draw on the Credit Facility an
amount which is sufficient to pay the Purchase Price on such date on all
Bonds that were to have been converted.  If the Bonds that were to have been
converted are not supported by a Credit Facility, the Company shall by 1:00
P.M. on the proposed Conversion Date deliver to the Paying Agent sufficient
funds to pay the Purchase Price.  In no event shall the failure of Bonds to
be converted to another Mode for any reason be deemed to be, in and of
itself, a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, so long as the
Purchase Price of all Bonds required to be purchased is made available as
provided above.

(iii)     Mandatory Tender for Purchase.  On each Effective Date, Bonds in
the Multiannual Mode are subject to mandatory tender for purchase as provided
in the forms of Multiannual Bond.

(g)  Conversion to Fixed Rate Mode.  The interest rate on any portion of the
Bonds may be converted by the Company to the Fixed Rate as provided in the
forms of the Flexible, Weekly and Multiannual Bonds, Subsections 301(d), (e)
and (f) and this Subsection 301(g).  Upon receipt of the notice of conversion
to the Fixed Rate Mode from the Company, the Remarketing Agent shall
determine the Fixed Rate not later than 2:00 P.M. two (2) Business Days
before the Conversion Date.  The Fixed Rate shall be the lowest rate which in
the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, on the basis of prevailing financial
market conditions, would permit the sale of the Bonds being so converted at
par plus accrued interest as of the Effective Date on the basis of their
terms as converted.

On the date of determination thereof, the Remarketing Agent shall notify the
Paying Agent, the Company and the Trustee by telephone confirmed in writing
of the Fixed Rate.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Authority in
writing of the Fixed Rate.  The determination of the Fixed Rate shall be
conclusive and binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Company and the Bondowners.  The first interest payment date of Bonds
converted to the Fixed Rate shall be at least three (3) months but less than
nine (9) months after the Conversion Date.  The Fixed Rate shall become
effective on the Fixed Rate Conversion Date and shall remain in effect for
the remaining term of the Bonds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the preconditions to conversion to the
Fixed Rate Mode established by this Subsection 301(g) are not met by 11:00
A.M. on the Conversion Date, the Paying Agent shall immediately notify the
Trustee by telephone promptly confirmed in writing.  Upon such notice, the
Trustee shall deem the proposed conversion to have failed and shall proceed
as such under Paragraph 301(d)(ii), (e)(ii) or (f)(ii), whichever is
applicable.

(h)  Partial Conversions.

(i)  General.  The Bonds may be converted in whole or in part to the Flexible
Mode, the Weekly Mode, any Rate Period in the Multiannual Mode or the Fixed
Rate Mode upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
In the event the Bonds are in (or are to be converted to) more than one Mode,
the provisions of this Agreement relating to Bonds in a particular Mode (or
to be converted to a particular Mode) shall apply only to the Bonds in (or to
be converted to) such Mode and, where necessary or appropriate, any reference
in this Agreement to the Bonds shall be construed to mean the Bonds in (or to
be converted to) such Mode and any reference to Credit Facility or Bank shall
be construed to mean the Credit Facility supporting the Bonds in (or to be
converted to) such Mode and the Bank issuing that Credit Facility.

(ii) Selection.  In the event of any partial conversion of the Bonds to a new
Mode, the Bonds to be converted shall be selected by the Paying Agent from
Bonds in the Mode selected by the Company.  The particular Bonds (or portions
thereof) to be converted shall be selected by the Paying Agent from all the
Bonds in the Mode (or in the case of Bonds in the Multiannual Mode, the Rate
Period) from which Bonds are to be converted.  The principal amount of Bonds
to be converted shall be determined so that all of the Bonds shall be in the
denominations required under Subsection 301(b) for the particular Modes.
Bonds (or portions thereof) in the Weekly Mode shall be selected by lot and
the selection of the Bonds to be converted shall occur prior to the date
notice of mandatory tender is sent by the Paying Agent pursuant to Paragraph
301(e)(iv).

(iii)     Amendment.  Provisions of this Agreement may be amended to permit
or facilitate partial conversions of the Bonds without Bondowner consent in
accordance with clause (vii) of the first paragraph of Section 1101.

(i)  Cancellation and Destruction of Bonds.  All Bonds paid or redeemed,
either at or before maturity, shall be delivered to the Paying Agent when
such payment or redemption is made, and such Bonds, together with all Bonds
purchased by the Paying Agent and all Bonds surrendered in any exchanges or
transfers, shall thereupon be promptly canceled.  All Bonds acquired and
owned by the Company and delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation shall
be deemed paid and shall be promptly canceled.  Bonds so canceled may at any
time be cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Paying Agent, which shall
execute a certificate of cremation or destruction in duplicate by the
signature of one of its authorized officers describing the Bonds so cremated
or otherwise destroyed, and one executed certificate shall be filed with the
Company and the other executed certificate shall be retained by the Paying
Agent.  The Paying Agent shall provide written notice to Moody's, if the
Bonds are then rated by Moody's, and to S&P, if the Bonds are then rated by
S&P, of the final payment or redemption of any of the Bonds, either at of
before maturity, upon cancellation of any such Bonds.

(j)  Replacement of Bonds.  Replacement Bonds shall be issued pursuant to
applicable law as a result of the destruction, loss or mutilation of the
Bonds.  The costs of a replacement shall be paid or reimbursed by the
applicant, who shall indemnify the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Remarketing Agent and the Company against all liability and expense in
connection therewith.

(k)  Interest on Overdue Principal.  Any overdue principal of any Bond shall
bear interest after its maturity or acceleration at the last interest rate in
effect on that Bond.

Section 302.   Application of 1991 Series D Bond Proceeds
 .
The Authority shall loan the proceeds of the 1991 Series D Bonds to the
Company by promptly causing the accrued interest, if any, to be deposited in
the Bond Fund and the balance of the proceeds to be paid to or pursuant to
the direction of the Company as reimbursement for Project Costs incurred
prior to the date of delivery of the 1991 Series D Bonds.  In connection with
the reimbursement of such Project Costs, the Company represents and warrants
that (i) such Project Costs were incurred by and were chargeable to the
capital account of the Company; (ii) such Project Costs are costs of "sewage
or solid waste disposal facilities" or "air or water pollution control
facilities" within the meaning of Section 103(b)(4)(E) or (F) of the 1954
Code incurred and paid after January 14, 1976; (iii) such Project Costs are
for an "industrial facility" within the meaning of Paragraphs 2, VII (d) and
(e) of the Act; and (iv) such Project Costs are costs of a facility described
in Section 1312(a) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

Section 303.   Application of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond Proceeds and of 1992
Series D Bond Proceeds
 .
(a)  Application of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond Proceeds.(21)  Proceeds of any
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds shall be deposited in the Bond Fund and applied to
pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 1991 Series D Bonds,
or if a Credit Facility is in effect, to reimburse the Bank for any draw on
the Credit Facility to make such payment on the 1991 Series D Bonds or as may
otherwise be provided in a supplemental Agreement executed and delivered by
the parties hereto at the time of issuance of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds.

(b)  Application of 1992 Series D Bond Proceeds.(22)  The Authority shall loan
the
proceeds of the 1992 Series D Bonds to the Company by promptly causing (A) an
amount equal to the accrued interest, if any, to be deposited in the Bond
Fund and (B) $75,000,000 to be deposited with the Trustee, in each case in
immediately available funds.  Upon receipt by the Paying Agent in respect of
a drawing on the Letter of Credit of an amount necessary to pay the Purchase
Price due on $75,000,000 principal amount of 1991 Series D Bonds, the Paying
Agent shall immediately notify the Trustee that it has received sufficient
draw proceeds to pay such Purchase Price, and upon the Trustee's receipt of
such notice the Trustee shall pay to the Bank the $75,000,000 deposited with
the Trustee by the Authority under clause (B) of this section as partial
reimbursement for such drawing.  If the Trustee receives such notice from the
Paying Agent before 12:00 Noon on any Business Day it shall transmit a
payment order for the above-described payment by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the Bank by 2:30 P.M. on the same day, and if the Trustee
receives such notice after 12:00 Noon it shall make such payment by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the Bank by 11:00 A.M. on the next
Business Day.  In connection with the reimbursement of the Bank, the Company
represents and warrants that (i) not less than 95% of the proceeds of the
1991 Series D Bonds were spent to reimburse the Company for Project Costs;
(ii) such Project Costs were incurred by and were chargeable to the capital
account of the Company; (iii) such Project Costs were costs of "sewage or
solid waste disposal facilities" or "air or water pollution control
facilities" within the meaning of Section 103(b)(4)(E) or (F) of the 1954
Code incurred and paid after January 14, 1976; (iv) such Project Costs were
for an "industrial facility" within the meaning of Paragraphs 2, VII (d) and
(e) of the Act; and (v) such Project Costs were costs of a facility described
in Section 1312(a) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

Section 304.   Bond Fund

(a)  Establishment and Purpose.  A Bond Fund is hereby established with the
Trustee and moneys shall be deposited therein as provided in this Agreement.
The Company hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondowners
and the Bank a security interest in all deposits in the Bond Fund.  The
Trustee acknowledges that it holds the Bond Fund as agent for the Bondowners
and the Bank, as their interests may appear.  The moneys in the Bond Fund and
any investments held as part of such Fund shall be held in trust and, except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be applied by the Trustee
solely to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds.  The
Trustee shall keep separate accounts as to (A) Eligible Funds and (B) all
other funds in the Bond Fund.  When moneys in the Bond Fund are to be applied
to the payment of the Bonds, the Trustee shall transfer such moneys to the
Paying Agent on the payment date therefor.  Proceeds of drawings upon the
Credit Facility shall not be deposited in the Bond Fund, but shall be held by
the Paying Agent in trust and applied as provided in this Agreement.

(b)  Excess in Bond Fund.  If at any time the amount of Eligible Funds in the
Bond Fund exceeds the amount necessary to pay the Purchase Price or the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in full and all
amounts owing or to be owing under this Agreement to the Authority, the
Trustee and the Paying Agent, then the Trustee shall apply such excess first
to the Bank, in fulfillment of any obligations owed to it under the
Reimbursement Agreement, as certified by the Bank, and second, if any balance
remains, to the Company.

(c)  Unclaimed Moneys.  Except as may otherwise be required by applicable
law, in case any moneys deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of
the Purchase Price or principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Bond
remain unclaimed for two years after such Purchase Price, principal, premium
or interest has been paid or has become due and payable, the Paying Agent
may, and upon receipt of a written request by a Company Representative shall,
pay over to the Company the amount so deposited and thereupon the Trustee,
the Paying Agent and the Authority shall be released from any further
liability with respect to the payment of such Purchase Price or principal,
premium or interest and the owner of such Bond shall be entitled (subject to
any applicable statute of limitations) to look only to the Company as an
unsecured creditor for the payment thereof.

Section 305.   Rebate.

The Company shall pay to the United States when due any rebate with respect
to the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds pursuant to IRC <section>148(f).

Section 306.   Expenses of Issue.

Not more than 2% of the proceeds of the 1991 Series D Bonds shall be used to
pay the expenses of issue of the 1991 Series D Bonds, including underwriting
charges.

Section 307.   Application of Moneys.

If, in addition to moneys drawn on the Credit Facility (if any), available
moneys in the Bond Fund are not sufficient on any day to pay all principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds then due or overdue,
such moneys shall, after payment of all amounts owing to the Trustee and the
Authority under this Agreement, be applied first to the payment of interest,
including interest on overdue principal, in the order in which the same
became due (pro rata with respect to interest which became due at the same
time) and second to the payment of principal and redemption premiums, if any,
without regard to the order in which the same became due in each case pro
rata among Bondowners, provided, however, that amounts drawn on the Credit
Facility (if any) shall be applied exclusively to pay interest, premium, if
any, and principal on Bonds supported by the Credit Facility in accordance
with the Credit Facility.  If any Bonds are supported by a Credit Facility
and the owners of such Bonds have received all payments of principal,
premium, if any, and interest that have become due and payable from a draw on
the Credit Facility, the Bank shall be treated as the owner of such Bonds for
purposes of applying this section.  In the event there exist Pledged Bonds or
Company Bonds on the date of any application of moneys under this section,
moneys otherwise to be paid to the Company or to the Bank pursuant to this
section shall be applied (subject to Paragraph 308(c)(iii)) as follows:
first, so long as all payments due on Bonds supported by a Credit Facility
have been made, pro rata to all Bondowners other than the Company (but
including the Bank to the extent provided in the preceding sentence),
otherwise first, pro rata to all Bondowners other than the Bank and the
Company, second (and irrespective of which clause first applies), if any
balance remains, to the Bank in fulfillment of any obligations owed to it
under the Reimbursement Agreement or any Pledged Bonds (to the extent not
satisfied pursuant to clause first), and third, if any further balance
remains, to the Company in respect of any Company Bonds.  Whenever moneys are
to be applied pursuant to this section, such moneys shall be applied at such
times, and from time to time, as the Trustee in its discretion shall
determine, having due regard to the amount of such moneys becoming available
for such application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming
available for such application in the future.  Whenever the Trustee shall
exercise such discretion it shall fix the date (which shall be the first day
of a month unless the Trustee shall deem another date more suitable) upon
which such application is to be made, and upon such date interest on the
amounts of principal paid on such date shall cease to accrue.  Whenever
overdue interest is to be paid on the Bonds, the Trustee may establish a
special record date as provided in the forms of Bonds.  The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Paying Agent of any special record date and give such
other notice as it may deem appropriate of the fixing of any such date and
special record date.  When interest or a portion of the principal is to be
paid on an overdue Bond, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may require
presentation of the Bond for endorsement of the payment.  Prior to any
payment to be made to the Bank pursuant to clause second of the sixth
preceding sentence, the Trustee may require a certificate from the Bank as to
amounts due under the Reimbursement Agreement, and the Trustee may rely
conclusively thereon.

Section 308.   Payments by the Company.

(a)  Payments of Debt Service by the Company.

(i)  The Company shall make payments in immediately available funds to the
Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund on the date on which such payment of
principal (including principal called for redemption) of, premium, if any, or
interest on Bonds shall become due in an amount equal to the payment then
coming due on such Bonds less the amounts, if any, (i) then held in the Bond
Fund and available to pay the same, and (ii) amounts received by the Paying
Agent to pay the same from a draw under a Credit Facility.  The Company may
make payments to the Bond Fund earlier than required by this section, but
such payments shall not affect the accrual of interest.

(ii) The payments to be made under the foregoing paragraph shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect the date of issue of Bonds, accrued
interest deposited in the Bond Fund, if any, and any purchase or redemption
of Bonds so that there will be available on each payment date the amount
necessary to pay the interest and principal due or coming due on the Bonds
and so that accrued interest will be applied to the installments of interest
to which it is applicable.

(iii)     At any time when any principal of the Bonds is overdue, the Company
shall also have a continuing obligation to pay to the Trustee for deposit in
the Bond Fund an amount equal to interest on the overdue principal but the
installment payments required under this section shall not otherwise bear
interest.  Redemption premiums shall not bear interest.

(b)  Additional Payments.

(i)  The Company shall pay when due the Authority's Service Charge and other
expenses as provided in Section 803.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after notice from the Trustee, the Company shall
pay to the Trustee the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee as set
forth in Section 703.

(iii)     Within thirty (30) days after notice from the Paying Agent, the
Company shall pay to the Paying Agent its reasonable fees and expenses as set
forth in Section 313.

(c)  Drawings on the Credit Facility.

(i)  Debt Service.  If a Credit Facility is available for any portion of the
Bonds, the Paying Agent shall not later than 4:00 P.M. on the Business Day
next preceding any date on which payments of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on such Bonds are due, whether at maturity, on an interest
payment date, by acceleration, redemption, or otherwise, draw on the Credit
Facility an amount sufficient to pay in full the principal, premium, if any,
and interest then coming due on such Bonds.(23)  For purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, interest on the Bonds shall include the
component of any Purchase Price of Bonds in the Flexible Mode representing
interest on the Bonds.  The Paying Agent shall immediately notify the Company
and the Trustee by telephone promptly confirmed in writing if it has not been
paid by the Bank for such a draw on the Letter of Credit by 11:00 A.M. on the
date such payment on the Bonds is due.

(ii) Tenders for Purchase.  Except as provided in Paragraph 308(c)(i),
drawings on the Credit Facility for the purchase of Bonds tendered for
mandatory purchase pursuant to Paragraphs 301(d)(iii), 301(e)(iv), or
301(f)(iii) or for Bonds tendered for purchase at the Bondowner's election
pursuant to Paragraph 301(e)(iii) shall be made pursuant to Subsection
311(a).

(iii)     Use of Credit Facility.  All amounts received by the Paying Agent
under any Credit Facility shall be held in a segregated account, shall remain
uninvested and shall be used solely to pay the Purchase Price or principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds for which the Credit Facility
is available.  Principal and Purchase Price of, premium, if any, and interest
on Company Bonds, Pledged Bonds and Bonds not supported by a Credit Facility
shall not be paid from amounts drawn on a Credit Facility.(24)

(iv) Failed Conversion.  Whenever there is a failed conversion of Bonds
supported by a Credit Facility, the Paying Agent shall draw on the Credit
Facility as provided in Paragraph 301(d)(ii), 301(e)(ii) or 301(f)(ii), as
appropriate.(25)

(d)  Payment of Debt Service.  The Trustee shall transfer Eligible Funds, and
to the extent necessary other funds, from the Bond Fund to the Paying Agent
for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on the
Bonds as provided in Subsection 304(a) to the extent amounts drawn on the
Credit Facility are insufficient to pay the same, and in conjunction
therewith shall give the Paying Agent written notice of the amount of
Eligible Funds being transferred.  The Paying Agent shall apply such payments
received from the Trustee and amounts drawn on the Credit Facility, in the
following order, (i) moneys drawn on the Credit Facility, (ii) Eligible Funds
on deposit in the Bond Fund other than moneys drawn on the Credit Facility,
and (iii) any other moneys in the Bond Fund; provided, however, that except
as specified in the next sentence, in no event shall the Paying Agent use any
moneys other than Eligible Funds to pay principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on Bonds supported by a Credit Facility.  If and to the extent that
sufficient Eligible Funds, including moneys drawn on the Credit Facility
pursuant to this section and Section 605, are not available to pay in full
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds supported by a
Credit Facility, then other available moneys shall be so used.

(e)  Company's Purchase of Bonds.  If the amount drawn on the Credit Facility
and deposited with the Paying Agent, together with all other amounts
(including remarketing proceeds) received by the Paying Agent for the
purchase of Bonds supported by a Credit Facility and tendered pursuant to
Paragraph 301(d)(iii), 301(e)(iii) or (iv), or 301(f)(iii), is not sufficient
to pay the Purchase Price of such Bonds on the Purchase Date, the Paying
Agent shall before 3:30 P.M. on such Purchase Date, notify the Company, the
Remarketing Agent and the Trustee of such deficiency by telephone promptly
confirmed in writing.  The Company shall pay to the Paying Agent in
immediately available funds by 4:00 P.M. on the Purchase Date an amount equal
to the Purchase Price of such Bonds less the amount, if any, available to pay
the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 311 from the proceeds of the
remarketing of such Bonds or from drawings on the Credit Facility, as
reported by the Paying Agent.  Bonds so purchased with moneys furnished by
the Company shall be Company Bonds.

Section 309.   Unconditional Obligation.

The obligation of the Company to make payments under this Agreement shall be
absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and enforceable in all
circumstances whatsoever, shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or
counterclaim, and shall be a general obligation of the Company to which the
full faith and credit of the Company are pledged.  The Company shall be
obligated to make such payments whether or not the Project Facilities become
functional and whether or not the Project Facilities have ceased to exist or
be functional to any extent from any cause whatsoever.  The Company shall be
obligated to make such payments regardless of whether it is in possession or
entitled to be in possession of the Project Facilities.

Section 310.   Redemption of the Bonds.

(a)  Optional Redemption.  The Bonds are redeemable prior to maturity in
accordance with the written direction of the Company to the Authority and the
Trustee.  Such redemption of Bonds, other than Bonds in the Flexible Mode,
shall be in accordance with the terms of the Bonds (provided that, if less
than all the Bonds Outstanding shall be called for redemption, the Company
shall designate (to the extent not otherwise prohibited) the amount of Bonds
of each series and Mode to be redeemed, and if less than all of the Bonds
Outstanding in any series and Mode shall be called for redemption, Bonds to
be so redeemed in any series and Mode shall be selected by the Paying Agent
by lot or in any customary manner of selection as determined by the Paying
Agent) at the redemption prices plus accrued interest to the redemption date
as described in the forms of Bonds.  For purposes of this Subsection 310(a),
references to the term Mode shall be deemed to include different Rate Periods
within the Multiannual Mode.  Redemption of Bonds in the Flexible Mode
pursuant to this Subsection 310(a) shall be only on an Effective Date for the
Bonds to be redeemed at the then applicable Purchase Price for such Bonds.

(b)  Extraordinary Optional Redemption.  The Outstanding Bonds in the
Multiannual or Fixed Rate Modes may be redeemed at any time at the option of
the Company in whole at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if (i) all Bonds in
the Weekly Mode are to be redeemed pursuant to Subsection 310(a) on or before
such extraordinary optional redemption date and (ii) all Bonds in the
Flexible Mode are to be redeemed pursuant to Subsection 310(a) on or before
the later of (A) the first Effective Date for such Bonds after notice of the
extraordinary optional redemption is given by the Company pursuant to
Subsection 310(b) or (B) such extraordinary optional redemption date and
(iii) the redemption occurs within nine (9) months following the occurrence
of any of the following events, as evidenced in each case by the filing with
the Trustee of a certificate of a Company Representative that such event has
occurred and describing the same:

(i)  Damage or destruction to the Station or the Project Facilities to such
extent that in the opinion of the Company (expressed in a resolution adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Company (a "Board Resolution")) and of an
architect or engineer acceptable to the Company (who may be an employee of
the Company), both filed with the Authority and the Trustee, (1) the Station
or the Project Facilities, as the case may be, cannot be reasonably repaired,
rebuilt, or restored within a period of six (6) months to their condition
immediately preceding such damage or destruction, or (2) normal operations
are thereby prevented from being carried on at the Station for a period of
not less than six (6) months.

(ii) Loss of title to or use of a substantial part of the Station or the
Project Facilities as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain
which, in the opinion of the Company (expressed in a Board Resolution) and of
an architect or engineer acceptable to the Company (who may be an employee of
the Company), both filed with the Authority and the Trustee, prevents or is
likely to prevent normal operations from being carried on at the Station for
a period of not less than six (6) months.

(iii)     A change in the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire or of
the United States of America or legislative or executive action (whether
local, state, or federal) or a final decree, judgment or order of any court
or administrative body (whether local, state, or federal) that causes this
Agreement to become void or unenforceable or impossible of performance in
accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed herein or,
imposes unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities upon the Company with
respect to the Station or the Project Facilities or the operation thereof.

(iv) The operation of the Station or the Project Facilities shall have been
enjoined or shall otherwise have been prohibited by any order, decree, rule
or regulation of any court or of any local, state, or federal regulatory
body, administrative agency or other governmental body for a period of not
less than six (6) months.

(v)  Changes which the Company cannot reasonably control in the economic
availability of fuel, materials, supplies, labor, equipment, or other
properties or things necessary for the efficient operation of the Station or
the Project Facilities shall have occurred which, in the judgment of the
Company (expressed in a Board Resolution), render the continued operation of
the Station uneconomical.

The Company's right to direct the redemption of the Bonds upon the occurrence
of any single event listed in this Subsection 310(b) shall expire six (6)
months after such event occurs.

(c)  Notice by the Company.  The Company shall exercise its option to have
Bonds redeemed under Subsection 310(a) or (b) by giving notice to the
Trustee, the Authority, the Paying Agent, and the Remarketing Agent at least
five (5) days before the redemption date in the case of Bonds in the Flexible
Mode, and forty-five (45) days before the redemption date in the case of
Bonds in any other Mode.(26)

(d)  Payment of Redemption Price and Accrued Interest.  Whenever Bonds are
called for redemption, the accrued interest thereon shall become due on the
redemption date.  To the extent not otherwise provided, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee prior to the redemption date a sufficient sum to pay
the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Bonds.

(e)  Notice of Redemption.  When Bonds are to be redeemed, the Paying Agent
shall give notice to the Bondowners in the name of the Authority, which
notice shall identify the Bonds to be redeemed, state the date fixed for
redemption and specify the office of the Paying Agent at which such Bonds
will be redeemed.  The notice shall further state that on such date there
shall become due and payable upon each Bond to be redeemed the redemption
price thereof, together with interest accrued to the redemption date, and
that moneys therefor having been deposited with the Paying Agent, from and
after such date, interest thereon shall cease to accrue and that the Bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement except the right to receive payment of the
redemption price.  The Paying Agent shall mail the redemption notice the
number of days prior to the date fixed for redemption provided in the forms
of Bond for the Mode the Bonds are in, to the registered owners of any Bonds
which are to be redeemed, at their addresses shown on the registration books
maintained by the Paying Agent.  Failure to mail notice to a particular
Bondowner, or any defect in the notice to such Bondowner, shall not affect
the redemption of any other Bond.  No notice shall be given of redemption of
Bonds in the Flexible Mode, except for such redemption pursuant to Section
405 as and when provided in the forms of Flexible Bonds.(27)

Section 311.   Purchase of Bonds Tendered.

(a)  Procedure.

(i)  Notice.  The Remarketing Agent shall give notice to the Paying Agent
electronically or by telephone, and if by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing, specifying the principal amount of Tendered Bonds as to which the
Remarketing Agent has found purchasers, the amounts the Remarketing Agent has
received for the purchase of Tendered Bonds, and any deficiency in amounts
available to pay the Purchase Price of Tendered Bonds at or before (A) 1:00
P.M. on each Purchase Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Flexible
Mode immediately after the Purchase Date, (B) 3:30 P.M. one (1) Business Day
before the Purchase Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Weekly Mode
immediately after the Purchase Date, or (C) 2:00 P.M. two (2) Business Days
before the Purchase Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Multiannual
or Fixed Rate Mode immediately after the Purchase Date.  The Remarketing
Agent shall give written notice to the Paying Agent of the names, addresses
and taxpayer identification numbers of the purchasers and the number and
denominations of Bonds to be delivered to each purchaser, and in the case of
Bonds that are to be in the Flexible or Multiannual Mode, the current rate
and the next scheduled Purchase Date of each such Bond successfully
remarketed at or before (A) 1:00 P.M. on each Purchase Date for Tendered
Bonds that are to be in the Flexible Mode immediately after the Purchase
Date, (B) 3:30 P.M. one (1) Business Day before the Purchase Date for
Tendered Bonds to be in the Weekly Mode immediately after the Purchase Date,
or (C) 2:00 P.M. two (2) Business Days before the Purchase Date for Tendered
Bonds to be in the Multiannual Mode immediately after the Purchase Date.

(ii) Sources of Payments.  If the Tendered Bonds are supported by a Credit
Facility, the Paying Agent shall draw upon the Credit Facility the amount
necessary to purchase the Tendered Bonds for which the Remarketing Agent has
not received the Purchase Price not later than (A) 1:30 P.M. on the Purchase
Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Flexible Mode immediately after
the Purchase Date, or (B) 4:00 P.M. one (1) Business Day before the Purchase
Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in any other Mode immediately after
the Purchase Date.  In determining the amount necessary to purchase such
Tendered Bonds, the Paying Agent shall take into account any amounts drawn
under the Credit Facility pursuant to Paragraph 308(c)(i) to pay interest on
such Bonds on the Tender Date.  If the Tendered Bonds are not supported by a
Credit Facility, the Paying Agent shall not later than (A) 1:30 P.M. on the
Purchase Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Flexible Mode
immediately after the Purchase Date, or (B) 4:00 P.M. one (1) Business Day
before the Purchase Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in any other Mode
immediately after the Purchase Date, notify the Company of the amount
necessary to purchase the Tendered Bonds for which the Remarketing Agent has
not received the Purchase Price, and the Company shall pay the Paying Agent
such amount not later than (A) 3:30 P.M. on the Purchase Date in the case of
Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Flexible Mode immediately after the
Purchase Date, or (B) 10:00 A.M. on the Purchase Date in the case of Tendered
Bonds that are to be in any other Mode immediately after the Purchase Date.
The Remarketing Agent shall deliver to the Paying Agent all amounts received
by the Remarketing Agent as proceeds of the remarketing of Bonds at or before
(A) the close of business on the Purchase Date for Tendered Bonds that are to
be in the Flexible Mode immediately after the Purchase Date, (B) 2:00 P.M. on
the Purchase Date for Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Weekly Mode
immediately after the Purchase Date, or (C) 2:00 P.M. on the Purchase Date
for Tendered Bonds that are to be in the Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode
immediately after the Purchase Date.  If the Bonds are supported by a Credit
Facility and the Remarketing Agent does not deliver to the Paying Agent
proceeds of remarketing sufficient, together with amounts received from draws
under the Credit Facility, to pay in full the Purchase Price of all Bonds due
on the Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall make an additional draw on the
Credit Facility pursuant to Paragraph 602(a)(ii) and thereafter the Company
shall be liable for the shortfall.

(b)  Payments by the Paying Agent.  At or before the close of business on the
Delivery Date and upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Purchase Price of
the Tendered Bonds that are delivered to it, the Paying Agent shall pay the
Purchase Price of the Bonds to the registered owners thereof as provided in
the applicable form of Bonds.  The Paying Agent shall apply in order, first,
moneys paid to it by the Remarketing Agent or by new purchasers of the Bonds
tendered as proceeds of the remarketing of such Bonds by the Remarketing
Agent, second, but only with respect to Bonds supported by the Credit
Facility, moneys drawn on the Credit Facility for the purpose of purchasing
Tendered Bonds (including amounts drawn on the Credit Facility to pay accrued
interest on the Tendered Bonds), and third, moneys paid to it by the Company.
If sufficient funds are not available for the purchase of all Bonds tendered
on any Delivery Date, no purchase shall be consummated.

(c)  Commencement of New Mode or Rate Period.  Whenever Bonds in the Flexible
or Multiannual Mode are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on an
Effective Date, the new Rate Period for the Bonds (including a new Rate
Period in a new Mode) shall commence immediately upon the Bonds becoming
subject to mandatory tender for purchase.(28)

Section 312.   Remarketing of Bonds Tendered.

(a)  General.  While the Bonds are in the Flexible, Weekly or Multiannual
Mode, the Remarketing Agent shall solicit offers to purchase and use its best
efforts to find a purchaser for Tendered Bonds, Pledged Bonds and Company
Bonds, provided that Bonds supported by a Credit Facility shall not be
remarketed to the Authority, the Company or "insiders" of either of them as
that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code.  Any such purchase
shall be made by payment of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds
(for Bonds to be in the Flexible or Weekly Mode) or in clearinghouse funds
(for Bonds to be in the Multiannual Mode) to the Paying Agent at the time
specified in Paragraph 311(a)(ii). The Purchase Price shall be equal to the
principal amount to be purchased together with the interest accrued on such
principal amount to the Purchase Date.  By (i) 2:15 P.M., in the case of
Bonds that are to be in the Flexible Mode immediately after the Purchase
Date, (ii) 2:00 P.M., in the case of Bonds that are to be in the Weekly Mode
immediately after the Purchase Date, or (iii) 2:00 P.M., in the case of Bonds
that are to be in the Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode immediately after the
Purchase Date, on the Purchase Date, Bonds remarketed under this section
shall be made available by the Paying Agent to the purchasers thereof (in the
case of Bonds in the Flexible Mode, delivered by the Paying Agent to the
Remarketing Agent) and shall be registered in the manner directed by the
recipient thereof, provided that such Bonds shall not be delivered unless and
until the Paying Agent has received the Purchase Price therefor, except that
Bonds in the Flexible Mode may be delivered against a window receipt
guaranteeing same day payment in immediately available funds.  Bonds not
remarketed shall be held by the Paying Agent.  Bonds previously purchased
with moneys drawn under the Credit Facility shall not be delivered upon
remarketing unless the Credit Facility has been reinstated as provided in the
following paragraph.

Bonds the Purchase Price of which is paid for with funds drawn on the Credit
Facility pursuant to Paragraph 311(a)(ii) shall be registered to the Bank, or
its designee, as pledgee, by the Paying Agent (whether or not such Bonds are
delivered by the tendering Bondowner) as security for the reimbursement of
the Bank for moneys drawn under the Credit Facility and shall be "Pledged
Bonds."  Bonds the Purchase Price of which is paid for with funds provided by
the Company pursuant to Subsection 308(e) or Paragraph 311(a)(ii) shall be
registered in the name of the Company by the Paying Agent and shall be
"Company Bonds".  Company Bonds shall be held by the Paying Agent for the
account of the Company until transferred pursuant to this Section 312 or
canceled pursuant to instructions of the Company.  Any Company Bonds that
remain unsold for a period of ninety (90) days (or such longer period as may
be approved (under New Hampshire and federal law) in an opinion of Bond
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) shall be automatically deemed
canceled.  Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of notice from the Remarketing
Agent that a purchaser has been found for Pledged Bonds or Company Bonds held
by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall register and deliver such Bonds
to such purchaser (at which time such Bonds shall cease to be Pledged Bonds
or Company Bonds) upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Purchase Price of
such Bonds, provided, however, that no Pledged Bond or Company Bond shall be
so registered and delivered unless the Paying Agent has received from the
Bank a written notice of the reinstatement of the principal and interest
component of the Credit Facility, or if prior to or simultaneously with such
registration or delivery, the amount available to be drawn under the Credit
Facility is otherwise less than the amount described in Paragraph 317(b)(ii)
determined as if Bonds which are to continue as Pledged Bonds were not
Outstanding.(29)  If the Paying Agent has received from the Bank a written
notice
of non-reinstatement of the interest component of the Credit Facility with
respect to Bonds in the Flexible Mode and has, therefore, stopped
registration and delivery of remarketed Bonds, the Paying Agent may resume
the registration and delivery of Bonds upon receipt from the Bank of written
notice that the interest component of the Credit Facility has been fully
reinstated.  The Paying Agent shall immediately notify (subsequently
confirmed in writing) the Remarketing Agent whenever (i) it is prohibited
from registering and delivering Bonds pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) if
the Paying Agent has been so prohibited, upon the restoration of its power
hereunder to register and deliver Bonds.  Bonds purchased with moneys drawn
under the Credit Facility and registered to the Bank or its designee pursuant
to the Reimbursement Agreement shall be delivered to and held by the Paying
Agent as custodian for the Bank and shall not be subsequently transferred or
assigned by the Bank except as provided in this Section 312 and Paragraph
313(a)(iv).  No Bonds that are automatically converted to a Flexible Mode
with a one day Rate Period after failure of an optional conversion from one
Mode to another (or from one Rate Period to another in the Multiannual Mode)
shall be remarketed until the Paying Agent notifies the Remarketing Agent
(promptly confirmed in writing) that such Bonds are supported by a Credit
Facility meeting the requirements of Subsection 317(b).

(b)  Remarketing of Bonds in the Weekly Mode Between Notice and Redemption or
Conversion Date.  No Bonds in the Weekly Mode scheduled to be redeemed or
converted to a different Mode may be remarketed under Subsection 312(a) after
receipt by the Remarketing Agent of notice of redemption or conversion of
such Bonds to a specified Mode from the Company unless the Remarketing Agent,
on or before the redemption date or Purchase Date, gives notice to the
purchaser that the Bonds will be redeemed or converted, and such purchaser
will be required to surrender its Bonds for payment on the applicable
redemption date or to tender its Bonds for mandatory purchase on the
applicable Conversion Date, as the case may be.

Section 313.   Paying Agent.

(a)  Appointment and Responsibilities.  The initial Paying Agent shall be
Security Pacific National Trust Company (New York).  The Paying Agent shall
be entitled to the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for any party) and
shall not be liable for any action taken in good faith in reliance on such
advice.  The Paying Agent may rely conclusively on any telephone or written
notice, certificate or other document furnished to it under this Agreement
and reasonably believed by it to be genuine.  The Paying Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and
reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or power conferred upon
it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is
governed under this Agreement or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the
lack of direction or instruction required for such action, or be responsible
for the consequences of any error of judgment reasonably made by it.  When
any payment or other action by the Paying Agent is called for by this
Agreement, it may defer such action pending receipt of such evidence, if any,
as it may reasonably require in support thereof.  A permissive right or power
to act shall not be construed as a requirement to act.  The Paying Agent
shall not in any event be liable for the application or misapplication of
funds, or for other acts or defaults, by any person, firm or corporation
except by their respective directors, officers, agents and employees.  No
recourse shall be had by the Company, the Authority, the Trustee or any
Bondowner for any claim based on this Agreement or the Bonds against any
director, officer, agent or employee of the Paying Agent unless such claim is
based upon the bad faith, fraud or deceit of such person.  For the purposes
of this Agreement matters shall not be considered to be known to the Paying
Agent unless they are known to an officer in its corporate trust division.
The Paying Agent shall not require indemnification either (i) prior to making
a draw under the Credit Facility pursuant to Paragraphs 308(c)(i) or
308(c)(ii), or (ii) prior to making any payment when due of principal,
premium or interest on any Bond to be made by the Paying Agent to any
Bondowner, except and unless such drawing or payment is prohibited by or
violates applicable law or any outstanding or pending court or governmental
order or decree.

The Company shall pay to the Paying Agent reasonable compensation for its
services and pay or reimburse the Paying Agent for its reasonable expenses
and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys' fees hereunder.  The
Company shall indemnify and save the Paying Agent harmless against any
liabilities and reasonable expenses which it may incur in the exercise of its
duties hereunder and which are not due to its negligence or bad faith.  Any
fees, expenses, reimbursements or other charges which the Paying Agent may be
entitled to receive from the Company hereunder shall be due and payable 30
days after a request for payment has been made by the Paying Agent to the
Company, and any such fees, expenses, reimbursements or other charges not
paid when due shall bear interest at the "Base Rate" of the Trustee (or, if
none, the nearest equivalent).

The Paying Agent shall act as such and as Bond registrar and transfer agent.
The Paying Agent, which may act by means of agents, shall signify its
acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it hereunder by its
written instrument of acceptance under which the Paying Agent will agree to:

(i)  hold all sums delivered to it by the Trustee or paid to it under the
Credit Facility for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds uninvested in trust for the benefit of the Bondowners
until such sums shall be paid to the Bondowners or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided;

(ii) hold all Bonds tendered to it hereunder in trust for the benefit of the
respective Bondowners until moneys representing the Purchase Price of such
Bonds shall have been delivered to or for the account of or to the order of
such Bondowners;

(iii)     hold all moneys delivered to it hereunder for the purchase of Bonds
(including amounts drawn on the Credit Facility and amounts received from the
Company) in trust uninvested for the benefit of the Person that shall have so
delivered such moneys until the Bonds purchased with such moneys shall have
been delivered to or for the account of such Person;

(iv) hold all Pledged Bonds in trust for the benefit of the Bank until such
Pledged Bonds have been remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, purchased by the
Company, or redeemed;

(v)  hold all Company Bonds in trust for the benefit of the Company until
such Company Bonds have been remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, redeemed,
or canceled.

(vi) keep such books and records as shall be consistent with industry
practice and make such books and records, including the books of registration
for the Bonds, available for inspection by the parties hereto and the
Remarketing Agent at all reasonable times;

(vii)     promptly report to the Trustee all authentications of Bonds
transferred, exchanged or remarketed and any information received by it
concerning the names and addresses of Bondowners;

(viii)    give all notices required of it in this Agreement at the times and
in the manner required by this Agreement and send to the Remarketing Agent
copies of all such notices;

(ix) if appointed by the Trustee for such purpose, act as agent of the
Trustee for the purpose of executing the Certificate of Authentication on the
Bonds; and

(x)  take all other actions and perform all other duties and obligations as
may be required of it as Paying Agent under this Agreement.
In addition, in its instrument of acceptance the Paying Agent shall assign to
the Trustee all of its rights to enforce payment under the Credit Facility
after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(b)  Removal or Resignation of Paying Agent.  The Company may discharge the
Paying Agent from time to time and appoint a successor approved by the
Trustee, the Bank and the Remarketing Agent.  The Company shall also
designate a successor subject to the approval of the Trustee, the Bank and
the Remarketing Agent if the Paying Agent resigns or becomes ineligible.  The
Paying Agent may resign by giving at least sixty (60) days' written notice to
the parties hereto and the Remarketing Agent.  Each successor Paying Agent
shall be a commercial bank or trust company having a capital and surplus of
not less than $50,000,000, shall at the time of the appointment be rated at
least Baa3/P-3 by Moody's or otherwise be acceptable to Moody's, shall be
registered as a transfer agent with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
shall have the power to authenticate bonds pursuant to the Act, and shall be
capable of performing the duties prescribed for it herein in New York, New
York.  The Paying Agent may but need not be the same person as the Trustee.
The Trustee shall give notice of the appointment of a successor Paying Agent
in writing to each Bondowner.  The Trustee will promptly certify to the
Company that it has mailed such notice to all Bondowners, and such
certificate will be conclusive evidence that such notice was given in the
manner required hereby.

In the event of the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent, the Paying
Agent shall pay over, assign, transfer and deliver the Credit Facility and
any moneys and Bonds, including Pledged Bonds and unauthenticated Bonds, held
by it and the books of registry maintained by it in such capacity to its
successor.  No resignation or removal of the Paying Agent shall be effective
until a successor has been appointed and has accepted its appointment.

(c)  Successors.  Any corporation, association, partnership or firm which
succeeds to the business of the Paying Agent as a whole or substantially as a
whole, whether by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall thereby
become vested with all the property, rights and powers of the Paying Agent
under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the duties and obligations
of the Paying Agent under this Agreement.

In the event that the Paying Agent shall resign or be removed, or be
dissolved, or if the property or affairs of the Paying Agent shall be taken
under the control of any state or federal court or administrative body
because of bankruptcy or insolvency, or for any other reason, and the Company
shall not have appointed its successor within thirty (30) days, the Trustee
shall appoint a successor.

The Paying Agent shall send or cause to be sent notice to Bondowners of a
change of address for the delivery of Bonds or notices or the payment of
principal or purchase price of Bonds.

Section 314.   Remarketing Agent.

(a)  Qualifications and Responsibilities.  The Company shall appoint, with
the consent of the Authority, and, if a Credit Facility is in effect, the
Bank, a Remarketing Agent when any Bonds are in the Flexible Mode, Weekly or
Multiannual Mode.  The Remarketing Agent shall be authorized by law to
perform all of the duties imposed upon it by this Agreement.  In addition,
the Remarketing Agent shall either (i) have a capitalization of at least
$10,000,000 and outstanding securities rated at least Baa 3 (or a
substantially equivalent rating) by Moody's if such a requirement is then
necessary to the maintenance of any then existing Moody's rating on the Bonds
or (ii) have a capitalization of at least $15,000,000 or have a line of
credit with a commercial bank in the amount of at least $15,000,000.  The
Remarketing Agent, which may act by means of agents, shall signify its
acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it hereunder by a
written agreement with the Company under which the Remarketing Agent will
agree, among other things, to:

(i)  determine the Flexible, Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate pursuant to
and in accordance with Paragraph 301(d)(i), (e)(i) or (f)(i) or Subsection
301(g) and the forms of Flexible, Weekly, Multiannual and Fixed Rate Bonds;

(ii) give all notices to the Trustee and Paying Agent regarding the
determination of interest rates on the Bonds and regarding Tendered Bonds as
are required of the Remarketing Agent in this Agreement;

(iii)     hold all moneys received hereunder from the remarketing of Tendered
Bonds for the benefit of the person or entity which shall have delivered such
moneys until the Remarketing Agent shall have transferred such moneys to the
Paying Agent as provided in this Agreement;

(iv) keep such books and records with respect to its duties as Remarketing
Agent as shall be consistent with prudent industry practice and make such
books and records available for inspection by the parties hereto and the
Paying Agent at all reasonable times; and

(v)  use its best efforts to remarket Bonds in accordance with this Agreement
and any remarketing agreement entered into by the Remarketing Agent and the
Company.

The Remarketing Agent may enter into custodial agreements with one or more
banking or similar institutions for the deposit and holding of the Bonds in
order to facilitate the tendering and remarketing of Bonds as provided in
this Agreement, provided, however, that in no event shall the Authority, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent be responsible or held liable for any action
taken or not taken under any such custodial agreement and in no way shall any
such custodial agreement relieve or otherwise alter the obligations and
responsibilities of the Remarketing Agent set forth in this Agreement.

(b)  Removal or Resignation of Remarketing Agent.  The Company may remove the
Remarketing Agent at any time by written notice to the Remarketing Agent, the
Bank and the parties hereto and appoint a successor which meets the
qualifications set forth in Subsection 314(a) and which is reputable and
experienced in the remarketing of obligations similar to the Bonds.  The
Company shall appoint a successor with similar qualifications if the
Remarketing Agent resigns or becomes ineligible.  The Company shall give the
Authority, the Bank, the Paying Agent and the Trustee at least two (2) days'
notice prior to the appointment of a successor Remarketing Agent.  The
Remarketing Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and
obligations created by this Agreement by giving at least thirty (30) days'
written notice to the parties hereto and the Bank and the Paying Agent.  The
Trustee shall give written notice to the Bondowners of any removal or
appointment of the Remarketing Agent.

(c)  Successors.  Any corporation, association, partnership or firm which
succeeds to the business of the Remarketing Agent as a whole or substantially
as a whole, whether by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall
thereby become vested with all the property, rights and powers of the
Remarketing Agent under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the duties
and obligations of the Remarketing Agent under this Agreement.  In the event
that the Remarketing Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or if
the property or affairs of the Remarketing Agent shall be taken under the
control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of
bankruptcy or insolvency, or for any other reason, and the Company shall not
have appointed its successor within thirty (30) days, the Trustee shall apply
to a court of competent jurisdiction for such appointment.

Section 315.   Investments.

(a)  Pending their use under this Agreement, moneys in the Bond Fund may be
invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments (as defined below) maturing
or redeemable at the option of the holder at or before the time when such
moneys are expected to be needed and shall be so invested pursuant to written
direction of the Company if no Default known to the Trustee then exists under
this Agreement, provided that the Company shall not request, authorize or
permit any investment which would cause any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds to be
classified as "arbitrage bonds" as defined in IRC <section>148.  Any
investments pursuant to this subsection shall be held by the Trustee as a
part of the Bond Fund and shall be sold or redeemed to the extent necessary
to make payments or transfers or anticipated payments or transfers from such
Fund.

(b)  Any interest realized on investments in the Bond Fund and any profit
realized upon the sale or other disposition thereof shall be credited to the
Bond Fund and any loss shall be charged thereto.

(c)  (1)  The term "Permitted Investments" means (i) Government Obligations
or shares of a so-called money market or mutual fund that has all of its
assets invested in Government Obligations, (ii) tax-exempt bonds as defined
in IRC <section>150(a)(6) rated at least AA or Aa by S&P and Moody's,
respectively,
or the equivalent by any other nationally recognized rating agency at the
time of acquisition thereof (and Aa by Moody's if rated by Moody's and AA by
S&P if rated by S&P) or shares of a so-called money market or mutual fund
that do not constitute "investment property" within the meaning of IRC
<section>148(b)(2), provided either that the fund has all of its assets invested
in
obligations of such rating quality or, if such obligations are not so rated,
that the fund has comparable credit worthiness through insurance or otherwise
and which fund is rated AAm or AAm-G if rated by S&P, and rated investment
grade by Moody's, if rated by Moody's, or, if unrated, investment in such
fund is approved in writing by S&P and Moody's, (iii) certificates of deposit
of, banker's acceptances drawn on and accepted by, and interest bearing
deposit accounts of, a bank or trust company which has a capital and surplus
of not less than $50,000,000 and which has been rated not less than Prime-3
by Moody's, and (iv) Repurchase Agreements.  The term "Repurchase Agreement"
shall mean a written agreement under which a bank or trust company which has
a capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 or a government bond
dealer reporting to, trading with, and recognized as a primary dealer by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York sells to, and agrees to repurchase from the
Trustee obligations issued by, or the full and timely payment of which is
guaranteed by, the United States, provided that the market value of such
obligations is at the time of entering into the agreement at least one
hundred and three percent (103%) of the repurchase price specified in the
agreement and that such obligations are segregated from the unencumbered
assets of such bank or trust company or government bond dealer, and provided
further that unless the agreement is with a bank or trust company, such
agreement shall require the repurchase to occur on demand or on a date
certain which is not later than one (1) year after such agreement is entered
into and shall expressly authorize the Trustee to liquidate the purchased
obligations in the event of the insolvency of the party required to
repurchase such obligations or the commencement against such party of a case
under the federal Bankruptcy Code or the appointment of or taking possession
by a trustee or custodian in a case against such party under the Bankruptcy
Code.  Any such investments may be purchased from or through the Trustee.

(2)  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph Permitted
Investments shall not include the following:

(A)  Government Obligations, certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances, in each case with yields lower than the yield available on
comparable obligations then offered by the United States Treasury;

(B)  any demand deposit or similar account with a bank, trust company or
broker, unless (i) the account is used for holding funds for a short period
of time until such funds are reinvested or spent, and (ii) such account will
not contain an average daily balance for any bond year (selected by the
Company pursuant to Temp. Treas. Reg. <section> 1.148-8T(b)(2) or any successor
thereto) in excess of $20,000 (disregarding the 20 days with the largest
account balances); or

(C)  Repurchase Agreements, unless (i) at least three (3) bids are obtained
on the proposed Repurchase Agreement from persons other than those with an
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the yield on the Repurchase Agreement is at least
equal to the yield offered by the highest bidder, and (iii) a written record
of the yield offered by each bidder is maintained.
Any of the requirements of this paragraph (2) shall not apply to moneys
allocable to Bonds as to which the Trustee and the Authority shall have
received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that
such requirements are not necessary to preserve the exclusion of interest on
any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds from the gross income of the owner thereof for
federal income tax purposes.

Section 316.   Reduction of Credit Facility on Change in Mode; Release of
Credit Facility upon Conversion to Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode.

If Bonds are converted from one Mode to another Mode for which the Paying
Agent is required to be entitled to draw under the Credit Facility a reduced
number of days' interest, as described in Paragraph 317(b)(ii), the Paying
Agent may reduce the amount available to be drawn under the Credit Facility
upon such conversion in accordance with the Credit Facility.

If no Credit Facility is to be in effect for the Bonds as converted to the
Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode, the Paying Agent shall reduce (or if all the
Bonds are so converted, release) the Credit Facility upon such conversion so
that the Credit Facility, if any, in effect satisfies the requirements
described in Paragraph 317(b)(ii).

In no event shall any reduction in or release of the Credit Facility pursuant
to this Section 316 take effect until five (5) Business Days after the
conversion.

Section 317.   Credit Facilities.

(a)  Substitution or Replacement.  Upon satisfaction of the requirements set
forth in this Section 317 and subject to the last sentence of this Subsection
317(a), the Company may (except during the period between the giving of
notice of mandatory tender for purchase on account of the expiration of the
Credit Facility and the Purchase Date) replace a Credit Facility then in
effect with a substitute Credit Facility; provided, however, that (1) the
Credit Facility being replaced shall in no event be terminated or released
until the Company has given not less than forty-five (45) days' written
notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent, and the
Paying Agent has received the proceeds of all outstanding drawings on the
Credit Facility being replaced, (2) if any Bonds supported by the Credit
Facility being replaced are in the Weekly Mode, the Paying Agent has given
not less than thirty (30) days' written notice of the termination or release
of the Credit Facility to owners of such Bonds in the Weekly Mode and (3) if
any of the Bonds supported by the Credit Facility being replaced are in the
Flexible Mode or the Multiannual Mode, such Credit Facility shall in no event
be terminated or released earlier than on an Effective Date for all such
Bonds.

Prior to the replacement of any Credit Facility the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee and the Paying Agent:  (i) an opinion of counsel for
the issuer of the substitute Credit Facility to the effect that it
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer enforceable
in accordance with its terms; (ii) a certificate of the Bank that all amounts
due under the Reimbursement Agreement have been paid and that the Company has
fulfilled all its obligations arising out of such Agreement; and (iii) unless
all of the Bonds to be supported by the substitute Credit Facility are in the
Weekly Mode or are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the date of
replacement, written evidence from Moody's, if such Bonds are then rated by
Moody's, and from S&P, if such Bonds are then rated by S&P, that the
replacement of the Credit Facility will not in itself result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the rating on the Bonds.  Notice of the substitution or
replacement of a Credit Facility shall be sent by the Trustee to Moody's and
S&P.(30)

(b)  Requirements.  Each Credit Facility must:

(i)  be an irrevocable, unconditional obligation of a financial institution;

(ii) be on terms no less favorable to the Paying Agent than the Letter of
Credit and entitle the Paying Agent to draw upon or demand payment and
receive in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the
principal amount of the Bonds supported by the Credit Facility, any premium
applicable thereto, and (A) forty-five (45) days' accrued interest at the
Maximum Interest Rate on the principal amount of such Bonds then Outstanding
in the Weekly Mode, (B) thirty-eight (38) days' accrued interest at the
Maximum Interest Rate on the principal amount of such Bonds then Outstanding
in the Flexible Mode or (C) one hundred ninety (190) days' accrued interest
at the Maximum Interest Rate on the principal amount of such Bonds then
Outstanding in the Multiannual Mode; and

(iii)     provide for a term which may not expire in less than 364 days(31) and
which may not expire or be terminated prior to the fifth Business Day after the
mandatory tender for purchase as provided in Paragraph 301(d)(iii),
301(e)(iv), or 301(f)(iii).  The Company shall not enter into any
Reimbursement Agreement or agree to any amendment of a Reimbursement
Agreement which in any way limits the obligation of the Bank to provide funds
under the Credit Facility without the prior written consent of 100% of the
principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding and entitled to the benefit
thereof.

Section 318.   Tax Status of Bonds.

The Company will perform its obligations and agreements contained in the
Federal Tax Statement as if they were set forth herein.  All representations
of the Company in the Federal Tax Statement shall be treated as if they were
set forth herein.  Any covenants, agreements or representations made by the
Company or any transferee of the Project Facilities in connection with such a
transfer shall be performed and treated as if set forth herein.  The
Authority will cooperate with the Bondowners and the Company to the extent
deemed necessary or permitted by law in the opinion of bond counsel to the
Authority in order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal
income tax purposes.  If no Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds are outstanding, the
Company may waive the application of this Section 318 to itself (or any
successors hereunder or as owner of the Project Facilities) and the Authority
by written notice to the Authority and the Trustee that the Company will not
request the Authority to issue any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds.

Section 319.   Securities Laws.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchase Price,
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 1991 Series D Bonds shall
at all times be supported by a Credit Facility issued by a national bank, or
any banking institution organized under the laws of any state, territory or
the District of Columbia, the business of which is substantially confined to
banking and is supervised by the State or territorial banking commission or
similar official, unless the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of
counsel expert in securities law matters to the effect that failure to
provide such a Credit Facility will not cause the offering, sale or delivery
of any 1991 Series D Bonds to constitute a violation of the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification
requirements with respect to this Agreement under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended.  In any remarketing of Bonds under this Agreement, the
Company shall at all times comply with applicable federal and state
securities laws.

Section 320.   Registration of Bonds (except the 1992 Series D Bonds) in the
Book-Entry Only System.(32)

(a)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
provisions of this Section 320 shall apply with respect to any Bonds (except
the 1992 Series D Bonds) registered to CEDE & CO. or any other nominee of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") while the Book-Entry Only System (meaning
the system of registration described in this Section 320) is in effect.  The
Book-Entry Only System shall be in effect for any series of Bonds or portion
thereof issued in or converted to any Mode or Rate Period within the
Multiannual Mode if so specified by the Company prior to the issuance in or
conversion to that Mode or Rate Period, subject to the provisions below
concerning termination of the Book-Entry Only System.  Until it revokes such
specification in its discretion, the Company hereby specifies that the Book-
Entry Only System shall be in effect while the 1991 Series D Bonds are in
Flexible Mode.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 320 to the
contrary, the provisions of this Section 320 shall not apply to the 1992
Series D Bonds, which are subject to the Book-Entry Only System described in
Section 321.

(b)  The Bonds in or to be in the Book-Entry Only System shall be issued in
the form of a separate single authenticated fully registered Bond for each
separate Mode or Rate Period.  Any legend required to be on the Bonds by DTC
may be added by the Trustee or Paying Agent.  The form of Book-Entry Only
System 1991 Series D Bond in the Flexible Mode is attached hereto as Exhibit
K.  On the date of original delivery thereof or date of conversion of any
Bonds to a Mode or Rate Period in which the Book-Entry Only System is in
effect, as applicable, such Bonds shall be registered in the registry books
of the Paying Agent in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of The Depository
Trust Company as agent for the Authority in maintaining the Book-Entry Only
System.  With respect to Bonds registered in the registry books kept by the
Paying Agent in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of DTC, the Authority, the
Paying Agent, the Company, the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee shall have
no responsibility or obligation to any Participant (which means securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
various other entities, some of whom or their representatives own DTC) or to
any Beneficial Owner (which means, when used with reference to the Book-Entry
Only System, the person who is considered the beneficial owner of the Bonds
pursuant to the arrangements for book entry determination of ownership
applicable to DTC) with respect to the following:  (A) the accuracy of the
records of DTC, CEDE & CO. or any Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (B) the delivery to or from any Participant, any
Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than DTC, of any notice with
respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption or tender (whether
mandatory or optional), or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than DTC, of any amount with respect to the
principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds.  The Paying Agent
shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
only to or upon the order of DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and
effective fully to satisfy and discharge the Authority's obligations with
respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Bonds to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid.  No person other than DTC shall be
entitled to receive an authenticated Bond evidencing the obligation of the
Authority to make payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest
pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent of
written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of CEDE & CO., the words "CEDE & CO." in this Agreement
shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.

(c)  Upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent of written notice from
DTC to the effect that DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its
responsibilities with respect to any Bonds, the Authority shall issue and the
Paying Agent shall transfer and exchange such Bonds as requested by DTC in
appropriate amounts and in authorized denominations, and whenever DTC
requests the Authority, the Paying Agent and the Trustee to do so, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Authority will, at the expense of the
Company, cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable
notice (A) to arrange for a substitute bond depository willing and able upon
reasonable and customary terms to maintain custody of such Bonds or (B) to
make available for transfer and exchange such Bonds registered in whatever
name or names and in whatever authorized denominations as DTC shall
designate.

(d)  In the event the Company determines that the Beneficial Owners of any
Bonds in the Book-Entry Only System should be able to obtain Bond
certificates, the Company may so notify DTC, the Paying Agent and the
Trustee, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability
through DTC of such Bond certificates.  In such event, the Authority shall
issue and the Paying Agent shall transfer and exchange Bond certificates as
requested by DTC in appropriate amounts and in authorized denominations.
Whenever DTC requests the Paying Agent to do so, the Paying Agent will
cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to
make available for transfer and exchange Bonds registered in whatever name or
names and in whatever authorized denominations as DTC shall designate.

(e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
so long as any 1991 Series D Bond is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., as
nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of, Purchase
Price, premium, if any, and interest on such 1991 Series D Bond and all
notices with respect to such 1991 Series D Bond shall be made and given,
respectively, to DTC as provided in the Letter of Representation (the
"Representation Letter"), the form of which is included as Exhibit L attached
hereto.  The form of such Representation Letter may be modified or replaced
in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement upon conversion
or reconversion of the 1991 Series D Bonds to a Mode or Rate Period in which
the Book-Entry Only System is in effect.

(f)  Notwithstanding any provision in Subsection 301(h) or Section 310 to the
contrary, so long as any of the Bonds outstanding are held in the Book-Entry
Only System, if less than all of such Bonds are to be converted or redeemed
upon any conversion or redemption of Bonds hereunder, the particular Bonds or
portions of Bonds to be converted or redeemed shall be selected by DTC in
such manner as DTC may determine.

(g)  So long as the Book-Entry Only System is in effect, a Beneficial Owner
who elects to have its Bonds purchased or tendered pursuant to this Agreement
shall effect delivery by causing a Participant to transfer the Beneficial
Owner's interest in the Bonds pursuant to the Book-Entry Only System.  The
requirement for physical delivery of Bonds in connection with a demand for
purchase or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership
rights in the Bonds are transferred in accordance with the Book-Entry Only
System.

(h)  So long as the Book-Entry Only System is in effect, the Remarketing
Agent shall communicate to DTC information concerning the purchasers of
Tendered Bonds as may be necessary or appropriate, and, notwithstanding any
provision in the Representation Letter to the contrary, the Remarketing Agent
shall continue to remit to the Paying Agent interest rate determination
information pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 321.   Registration of 1992 Series D Bonds in the Book-Entry Only
System.(33)

(a)  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the provisions of
this Subsection 321 and the 1992 Series D Bonds Representation Letter (as
defined below) shall apply with respect to any 1992 Series D Bond registered
to CEDE & CO. or any other nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
while the Book-Entry Only System (meaning the system of registration
described in Section 321) is in effect.  The Book-Entry Only System shall be
in effect for any Mode or Rate Period within the Multiannual Mode if so
specified by the Company prior to conversion to that Mode or Rate Period,
subject to the provisions below concerning termination of the Book-Entry Only
System.  Until it revokes such specification in its discretion, the Company
hereby specifies that the Book-Entry Only System shall be in effect while the
1992 Series D Bonds are in Weekly, Multiannual and Fixed Rate Modes.

(b)  The 1992 Series D Bonds in or to be in the Book-Entry Only System shall
be issued in the form of a separate single authenticated fully registered
1992 Series D Bond for each separate Mode or Rate Period in substantially the
forms provided for in Section 301.  Any legend required to be on the Bonds by
DTC may be added by the Trustee or Paying Agent.  On the date of original
delivery thereof or date of conversion of the 1992 Series D Bonds to a Mode
or Rate Period in which the Book-Entry Only System is in effect, as
applicable, the 1992 Series D Bonds shall be registered in the registry books
of the Paying Agent in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of The Depository
Trust Company as agent for the Authority in maintaining the Book-Entry Only
System.  With respect to 1992 Series D Bonds registered in the registry books
kept by the Paying Agent in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of DTC, the
Authority, the Paying Agent, the Company, the Remarketing Agent and the
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant (which
means securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations and various other entities, some of whom or their
representatives own DTC) or to any Beneficial Owner (which means, when used
with reference to the Book-Entry Only System, the person who is considered
the beneficial owner of the 1992 Series D Bonds pursuant to the arrangements
for book entry determination of ownership applicable to DTC) with respect to
the following:  (A) the accuracy of the records of DTC, CEDE & CO. or any
Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the 1992 Series D
Bonds, (B) the delivery to or from any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or
any other person, other than DTC, of any notice with respect to the 1992
Series D Bonds, including any notice of redemption or tender (whether
mandatory or optional), or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than DTC, of any amount with respect to the
principal or premium, if any, or interest on the 1992 Series D Bonds.  The
Paying Agent shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
the 1992 Series D Bonds only to or upon the order of DTC, and all such
payments shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy and discharge the
Authority's obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on 1992 Series D Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No person other than DTC shall be entitled to receive an authenticated 1992
Series D Bond evidencing the obligation of the Authority to make payments of
principal and premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon
delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent of written notice to the effect that DTC
has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of CEDE & CO., the words
"CEDE & CO." in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.

(c)  Upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent of written notice from
DTC to the effect that DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its
responsibilities, the Authority shall issue and the Paying Agent shall
transfer and exchange 1992 Series D Bonds as requested by DTC in appropriate
amounts and in authorized denominations, and whenever DTC requests the
Authority, the Paying Agent and the Trustee to do so, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the Authority will, at the expense of the Company, cooperate with
DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (A) to arrange for a
substitute bond depository willing and able upon reasonable and customary
terms to maintain custody of the 1992 Series D Bonds or (B) to make available
for transfer and exchange 1992 Series D Bonds registered in whatever name or
names and in whatever authorized denominations as DTC shall designate.

(d)  In the event the Company determines that the Beneficial Owners should be
able to obtain 1992 Series D Bond certificates, the Company may so notify
DTC, the Paying Agent and the Trustee, whereupon DTC will notify the
Participants of the availability through DTC of 1992 Series D Bond
certificates.  In such event, the Authority shall issue and the Paying Agent
shall transfer and exchange 1992 Series D Bond certificates as requested by
DTC in appropriate amounts and in authorized denominations.  Whenever DTC
requests the Paying Agent to do so, the Paying Agent will cooperate with DTC
in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to make available for
transfer and exchange 1992 Series D Bonds registered in whatever name or
names and in whatever authorized denominations as DTC shall designate.

(e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
so long as any 1992 Series D Bond is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., as
nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of, Purchase
Price, premium, if any, and interest on such 1992 Series D Bond and all
notices with respect to such 1992 Series D Bond shall be made and given,
respectively, to DTC as provided in the Letter of Representation (the "1992
Series D Bonds Representation Letter"), the form of which is included as
Exhibit M attached hereto.  The form of such 1992 Series D Bonds
Representation Letter may be modified in a manner consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement upon conversion or reconversion of the 1992
Series D Bonds to a Mode or Rate Period in which the Book-Entry Only System
is in effect.

(f)  Notwithstanding any provision in Subsection 301(h) or Section 310 of
this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any of the 1992 Series D Bonds
outstanding are held in the Book-Entry Only System, if less than all of such
1992 Series D Bonds are to be converted or redeemed upon any conversion or
redemption of 1992 Series D Bonds hereunder, the particular 1992 Series D
Bonds or portions of 1992 Series D Bonds to be converted or redeemed shall be
selected by DTC in such manner as DTC may determine.

(g)  So long as the Book-Entry Only System is in effect, a Beneficial Owner
who elects to have its 1992 Series D Bonds purchased or tendered pursuant to
this Agreement shall effect delivery by causing a Participant to transfer the
Beneficial Owner's interest in the 1992 Series D Bonds pursuant to the Book-
Entry Only System.  The requirement for physical delivery of 1992 Series D
Bonds in connection with a demand for purchase or a mandatory purchase will
be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the 1992 Series D Bonds are
transferred in accordance with the Book-Entry Only System.

(h)  So long as the Book-Entry Only System is in effect, the Remarketing
Agent shall communicate to DTC information concerning the purchasers of
Tendered Bonds as may be necessary or appropriate, and, notwithstanding any
provision in the 1992 Series D Bonds Representation Letter to the contrary,
the Remarketing Agent shall continue to remit to the Paying Agent interest
rate determination information pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV:  TAX-EXEMPT REFUNDING BONDS

Section 401.   Issuance of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds.

Unless the Company has delivered the written notice described in Sections 318
and 502 that it will not request the Authority to issue Tax-Exempt Refunding
Bonds, the Authority may from time to time at the request of the Company
issue and sell Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds to refund all or any portion of the
1991 Series D Bonds, subject to the requirements of the Act and the
requirements of this Article IV.  Such Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds shall have
substantially the same terms as the 1991 Series D Bonds, but with such
changes as provided in Section 403.  A series of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds
may be initially issued in any Mode or Modes designated by the Company and
approved by the Authority prior to their delivery.  All Tax-Exempt Refunding
Bonds shall be of the same rank and shall be entitled to the same security,
including the Series F First Mortgage Bonds, as the 1991 Series D Bonds.
Each of the series of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds shall mature on the date, be
subject to optional redemption pursuant to Section 310(a) at the times and at
the prices, and shall initially bear interest at such rate or rates as
determined by the Company and approved by the Authority.  Each series of
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds shall be issued in fully registered form and shall
be numbered from 1 upwards in the order of their issuance, or in any other
manner deemed appropriate by the Paying Agent and the Trustee.  Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each or any multiple
thereof in the Fixed Rate or Multiannual Mode, $100,000 or any multiple
thereof in the Weekly Mode and $100,000 or any multiple of $1,000 in excess
of $100,000 in the Flexible Mode.  Each series of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds
shall be dated the date of original delivery thereof.  The interest on
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds until they come due shall be payable on the
interest payment dates applicable to the Mode of Bonds are in from time to
time.

Section 402.   Execution and Delivery of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds

Each Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond shall be signed on behalf of the Authority by
the manual or facsimile signatures of any two of the Chairman, Vice Chairman,
Treasurer, either Assistant Treasurer and Executive Director and the
corporate seal of the Authority or a facsimile thereof shall be engraved or
otherwise reproduced thereon.  The Certificate of Authentication shall be
manually signed by the Trustee or on behalf of the Trustee by its duly
authorized agent for such purpose.

In case any officer whose manual or facsimile signature shall appear on the
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery
thereof, such manual or facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes as if he or she had remained in office until
after such delivery.

The Trustee or its duly authorized agent for such purpose shall not
authenticate and deliver any series of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds until the
Trustee has received the following:

intended Mode or Modes, the maturity date, the optional redemption dates and
prices under Subsection 310(a), and the initial interest rate or rates, with
respect to the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds;

by the parties hereto in connection with the issuance of the Bonds of that
series;

(6)  A certificate of a Company Representative (A) stating that no Default
(in reliance upon a certificate of the Trustee as to such matters as the
Company shall reasonably request) hereunder has occurred and is continuing,
(B) designating the 1991 Series D Bonds to be refunded (the "Refunded
Bonds"), (C) that the Refunded Bonds will no longer be Outstanding upon the
issuance of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds, (D) that the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds evidence and secure the Company's obligation to pay the
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds and (E) that the Series F First Mortgage Bonds
have maturities, interest rates, interest and principal payments and
prepayment or redemption provisions and other terms properly corresponding to
the terms of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds and any other Bonds the payment
of which they evidence and secure;

(7)  An opinion or opinions of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee that:

(i)  the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds may be issued under the Act and this
Agreement,

(ii) the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds have been validly authorized and executed
and, when authenticated and delivered pursuant to the request of the
Authority, will be valid and binding obligations of the Authority entitled to
the benefit of the trust created hereby,

(iii)     any supplemental agreement entered into by the Authority in
connection with the issuance of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Authority, is a valid and binding
obligation of the Authority and is enforceable against the Authority in
accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity and to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally,

(iv) all necessary consents or approvals of government authorities required
in connection with the issue of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds by the
Authority have been obtained, and

(v)  interest on the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds will be excluded from gross

(8)  An opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, who may be
counsel to the Company, that:

(i)  the Series F First Mortgage Bonds evidencing and securing the Company's
obligation to pay the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds have been duly issued under
the First Mortgage Bond Indenture and are valid and binding obligations of
the Company entitled to the benefits and security of the First Mortgage Bond
Indenture; and

(ii) any supplemental agreement entered into by the Company in connection
with the issuance of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company, is a valid and binding obligation of
the Company, and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms subject to principles of equity and to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally.

(9)  The Trustee or its duly authorized agent for such purpose shall not
authenticate and deliver any series of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds unless
immediately after the delivery of such Bonds there is in effect a Credit
Facility meeting the requirements of Subsection 317(b) supporting all of the
Bonds required to be supported by a Credit Facility pursuant to this
Agreement.

Section 403.   Form of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds.

(a)  General.  Each series of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds shall bear
substantially the designation "Pollution Control Refunding Revenue Bonds
(Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - [Year] Tax-Exempt Series
[Letter])."  Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds shall be in substantially the same
form as the 1991 Series D Bonds, but with such additions or deletions as
described herein or as otherwise may be appropriate.

(b)  Redemption Upon Taxability.  In each Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond, there
shall be inserted the following:

The Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption at any
time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds so redeemed plus accrued interest in the event (i) the
Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
("Bond Counsel") stating that interest on the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds is
or will become includable in gross income of the owners thereof for federal
income tax purposes, or (ii) it is finally determined by the Internal Revenue
Service or a court of competent jurisdiction, as a result of (A) a proceeding
in which the Company has participated or been given notice and an opportunity
to participate, and, (B) either (1) a failure by the Company (or the Seabrook
Transferee as defined in the Agreement) to observe any covenant or agreement
undertaken in or pursuant to the Agreement, or the inaccuracy of any
representation made by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) in or
pursuant to the Agreement, or (2) the Seabrook Transfer (as defined in the
Agreement), that interest payable on the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds is
includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner
thereof (other than an owner which is a "substantial user" or a "related
person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986).  Any determination under clause (ii) above will not be considered
final for this purpose until the earliest of the conclusion of any appellate
review, the denial of appellate review or the expiration of the period for
seeking appellate review.  Redemption under this paragraph shall be in whole
unless not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date the
Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that a redemption of less than all
of the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds will preserve the tax-exempt status of
interest on the remaining Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds outstanding subsequent
to such redemption.  Except as provided in the next sentence, any such
redemption shall be made on the 90th day after the date on which the opinion
described in clause (i) is delivered or the determination described in clause
(ii) becomes final or on such earlier date as the Company may designate by
notice given to the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days prior to such
designated date.  Any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond in the Flexible Mode that has
a Purchase Date prior to the redemption date established for that Bond
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be redeemed on that Purchase Date.
If such redemption shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Agreement,
then such failure by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee as described
above) to observe such covenant or agreement, or the inaccuracy of any such
representation will not, in and of itself, constitute a default thereunder.

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Bondowner stating that (i)
such Bondowner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service
that it proposes to include the interest on the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds in
the gross income of such owner for federal income tax purposes, or any other
proceeding has been instituted against such owner which may lead to a like
determination, and (ii) such owner will afford the Company the opportunity to
participate at its own expense in the proceeding, either directly or in the
name of such owner, until the conclusion of any appellate review, and the
Trustee has examined such written notice and it appears to be accurate on its
face, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the
Authority, and each Bondowner whose Bonds may be affected.  The Trustee shall
thereafter keep itself reasonably informed of the progress of any
administrative proceedings or litigation relating to such notice.  Under the
Agreement the Company is required to give the Trustee written notice of such
a final determination within forty-five (45) days of such final
determination.

The foregoing two paragraphs shall be inserted immediately before the
paragraph describing the manner of selection of Bonds for redemption in the
forms of Weekly, Multiannual and Fixed Rate Bonds and immediately after the
paragraph describing the manner of payment of the Bonds in the forms of
Flexible Bonds.  In addition, immediately after the foregoing additional
paragraphs in the forms of Flexible Bond there shall be added the following:

If the Purchase Date of this bond is after the redemption date, notice of
redemption of this bond will be given by first class mail, postage prepaid,
not more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its registered address.  Failure
to mail notice to the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to
such other owner shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

(c)  Day Counting.  While Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds are in the Flexible Mode
interest shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed divided by 365
or 366 as appropriate, and each Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond in the Flexible
Mode shall so state.  Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds in any other Mode shall have
interest computed on the basis described in the applicable form of Bonds.

Section 404.   Conversion.(34)

No conversion of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds from one Mode to another Mode,
including for this purpose the conversion to a new Rate Period in the
Multiannual Mode, shall be effective unless on or prior to the  Conversion
Date the Company shall provide the Authority and the Trustee with an opinion
of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the
conversion will not affect the exclusion of interest on the Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Section 405.   Mandatory Taxability Redemption.

The Outstanding Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds are subject to mandatory
redemption at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount
of the Bonds so redeemed plus accrued interest in the event (i) the Company
delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that interest on
the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds is or will become includable in gross income
of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, or (ii) it is finally
determined by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent
jurisdiction, as a result of (A) a proceeding in which the Company has
participated or been given notice and an opportunity to participate, and, (B)
either (1) a failure by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) to observe
any covenant or agreement undertaken in or pursuant to this Agreement, or the
inaccuracy of any representation made by the Company (or the Seabrook
Transferee) in or pursuant to this Agreement, or (2) the Seabrook Transfer,
that interest payable on the Bonds is includable for federal income tax
purposes in the gross income of any owner thereof (other than an owner which
is a "substantial user" or a "related person" within the meaning of IRC
Section 147(a)).  Any determination under clause (ii) above will not be
considered final for this purpose until the earliest of the conclusion of any
appellate review, the denial of appellate review or the expiration of the
period for seeking appellate review.  Redemption under this Section 405 shall
be in whole unless not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the
redemption date the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond
Counsel to the effect that a redemption of less than all of the Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds will preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the
remaining Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds outstanding subsequent to such
redemption.  Except as provided in the next sentence, any redemption under
this Section 405 shall be made on the 90th day after the date on which the
opinion described in clause (i) is delivered or the determination described
in clause (ii) becomes final or on such earlier date as the Company may
designate by notice given to the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days prior
to such designated date.  Any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bond in the Flexible Mode
that has a Purchase Date prior to the redemption date established for that
Bond pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be redeemed on that Purchase
Date.  If such redemption shall occur in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, then such failure by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) to
observe such covenant or agreement, or the inaccuracy of any such
representations will not, in and of itself, constitute a Default hereunder.

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Bondowner stating that (I)
such Bondowner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service
that it proposes to include the interest on the Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds in
the gross income of such owner for federal income tax purposes, or any other
proceeding has been instituted against such owner which may lead to a like
determination, and (II) such owner will afford the Company the opportunity to
participate at its own expense in the proceeding, either directly or in the
name of such owner, until the conclusion of any appellate review, and the
Trustee has examined such written notice and it appears to be accurate on its
face, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the
Authority, and each Bondowner whose Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds may be
affected.  The Trustee shall thereafter keep itself reasonably informed of
the progress of any administrative proceedings or litigation relating to such
notice.

The Company shall keep the Trustee informed of the progress of any proceeding
referred to in subclause (ii)(A) of the first paragraph of this Section 405
and shall give written notice to the Trustee within forty-five (45) days
after it has actual knowledge of a final determination as described in clause
(ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 405.  At least forty (40) days
prior to any redemption pursuant to this Section 405, the Trustee shall
notify the Paying Agent of the redemption date and the principal amount of
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds to be redeemed.(35)

Section 406.   Additional Limitations on Conversions of 1992 Series D Bonds
to New Modes.(36)

(a)  Conversions to Multiannual Mode.  1992 Series D Bonds converted to the
Multiannual Mode shall not be supported by a Credit Facility.

(b)  Conversions from Multiannual Mode to Flexible or Weekly Mode.  Any Bank
issuing a Credit Facility in connection with a conversion of 1992 Series D
Bonds from the Multiannual Mode to the Flexible or Weekly Mode shall have a
long-term corporate debt rating of Aa from Moody's or AA from S&P, or their
equivalent.

Section 407.   Tax Status of 1992 Series D Bonds.(37)

The Company will perform its obligations and agreements contained in the
First Supplemental Federal Tax Statement as if they were set forth herein.
All representations of the Company in the First Supplemental Federal Tax
Statement shall be treated as if they were set forth herein.  Any covenants,
agreements or representations made by the Company or the Seabrook Transferee
in the Assumption Agreement shall be performed and treated as if set forth
herein.  As used in this Section 407, (a) "Assumption Agreement" means the
Assumption Agreement dated as of June 5, 1992 among the Authority, the
Company, the Trustee and the Seabrook Transferee, (b) "First Supplemental
Federal Tax Statement" means the Statement as to Tax Status of Bonds executed
by the Company and the Seabrook Transferee in connection with the original
issuance of the 1992 Series D Bonds and delivered to the Trustee and (c)
"Seabrook Transferee" means North Atlantic Energy Corporation, the transferee
of the Project Facilities pursuant to the Seabrook Transfer, and its
successors.

ARTICLE V.  THE PROJECT

Section 501.   Company not to Impair Tax Status; Use of Project Facilities.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company will not
use any of the proceeds of the Loan (or the income earned through the
investment thereof, if any) or operate the Project Facilities in any manner,
and will not take or omit any action or permit any action to be taken or
omitted with the result that interest on any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds is
included in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes.  The Company's use of the Project Facilities (or facilities
replacing the same) shall be in furtherance of the purpose of air or water
pollution control or sewage or solid waste disposal and in compliance with
the Act.

Section 502.   Qualification of the Project Facilities.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall not
permit the Project Facilities to fail to qualify as (a) "industrial
facilities" under the Act, (b) a facility described in Section 1312(a) of the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, or (c) "sewage or solid waste disposal facilities" or
"air or water pollution control facilities" within the meaning of Section
103(b)(4)(E) and (F) of the 1954 Code; provided, however, that if no
Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds are outstanding, the Company may waive the
application of clauses (b) and (c) by written notice to the Authority and the
Trustee that it will not request the Authority to issue Tax-Exempt Refunding
Bonds.  No funds of the Authority, other than the proceeds of the Bonds,
shall be available to pay Project Costs.  The Company acknowledges that it is
fully familiar with the physical condition of the Project Facilities and that
it is not relying on any representation of any kind by the Authority or the
Trustee concerning the nature or condition thereof.  Neither the Authority
nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Company or any other person for any
latent or patent defect in the Project Facilities.

Section 503.   Compliance with Law.

In the acquisition, construction, maintenance, improvement and operation of
the Project Facilities, the Company has and will comply in all material
respects with all applicable building, subdivision, zoning and land use,
environmental protection, sanitary and safety and other laws, rules and
regulations and will not permit any nuisance thereat and will to the extent
of its ownership and control, permit no nuisance to be committed thereat by
others while the Company is, or is entitled to be, in possession thereof.  It
shall not be a breach of this section if the Company fails to comply with
such laws, rules and regulations during any period in which the Company shall
in good faith be diligently contesting the validity thereof.

Section 504.   Current Expenses.

The Company shall pay in a timely manner all costs of maintaining and
operating the Project Facilities, including without limitation all taxes,
excises and other governmental charges lawfully levied thereon or with
respect to its interests therein or use thereof to the extent of the
Company's interest therein.  It shall not be a breach of this section if the
Company fails to pay any such costs, taxes or charges during any period in
which the Company shall in good faith be contesting the validity or amount
thereof and no foreclosure proceedings have been commenced, unless the
procedures applicable to such contest require payment thereof and proceedings
for their refund or abatement.

Section 505.   Disposition and Use of Project Facilities.

The Company shall not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of the
Project Facilities (other than the grant of a mortgage pursuant to a
financing transaction) unless (i) it obtains the consent of the Authority,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that no
such consent shall be required if the sale, lease, transfer or disposition is
the Seabrook Transfer, or if such transaction has been approved by or
consented to by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission; (ii) if there
are any Outstanding Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds, it obtains an opinion of Bond
Counsel addressed to and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Authority that such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition will not
affect the exclusion of the interest on any Outstanding Tax-Exempt Refunding
Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes, provided, however, that no such opinion shall be required in
connection with the Seabrook Transfer; and (iii) if the sale, lease, transfer
or disposition is the Seabrook Transfer, the Company and the Seabrook
Transferee each executes and delivers an Assumption Agreement substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Assumption Agreement").  No
sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of the Project Facilities or the
Station shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this
Agreement.

The Company shall not make any material change in the purposes for which the
Project Facilities are used without the consent of the Authority, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company at its own expense
may alter, remodel or improve the Project Facilities and construct other
facilities at the site of the Project Facilities, provided such action shall
not result in any substantial change in the Project Facilities or the
character of the activities conducted by the Company at the Project
Facilities site without the consent of the Authority, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.

Section 506.   Books and Records.

The Authority and the Trustee and their respective duly authorized agents
shall have the right at all reasonable times and upon the furnishing of
reasonable notice under the circumstances to examine the books and records of
the Company relating to the Project Facilities.

Section 507.   Undivided Interest.
The undertakings of the Company contained in Sections 502, 503, 504 and 505
are limited to those consistent with the Company's undivided percentage
interest in the facilities of which the Project Facilities are a part.

ARTICLE VI:  DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 601.   Default by the Company.

(a)  Events of Default; Default.  "Event of Default" in this Agreement means
any one of the events set forth below and "Default" means any Event of
Default without regard to any lapse of time or notice.

(i)  Debt Service on Bonds; Required Purchase.  Any principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on any Bond shall not be paid when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise or any Purchase Price for Bonds
shall not be paid as provided in Sections 301, 308, 311 or 312, except that
it shall not be an Event of Default if interest (other than interest due at
maturity, by acceleration, or upon redemption, or interest included in the
Purchase Price) on any Bond not supported by a Credit Facility is paid within
thirty (30) days after it becomes due.

(ii) Other Obligations.  The Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) shall fail
to observe or perform any of its other covenants or agreements contained
herein or in the Assumption Agreement and such failure shall continue for a
period of sixty (60) days after written notice given to the Company by the
Trustee or the Bondowners of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds
Outstanding; provided, however, that if such default cannot be cured by the
Company or the Seabrook Transferee within such sixty (60) day period, it
shall not constitute an Event of Default if curative action is instituted by
the Company or the Seabrook Transferee within such sixty (60) day period and
thereafter is diligently pursued until such Default is cured.

(iii)     First Mortgage Bond Default.  The occurrence of any "event of
default" as defined in the First Mortgage Bond Indenture.

(iv) Reimbursement Agreement.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have
received written notice from the Bank of the occurrence of an event of
default under the Reimbursement Agreement and of the Bank's determination to
terminate the Credit Facility on the fifth Business Day following receipt by
the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such notice.

(v)  Non-Reinstatement under the Credit Facility.  If any Bonds are in the
Weekly or Multiannual Mode, the Paying Agent shall receive written notice
from the Bank within five (5) days after a drawing under the Credit Facility
that the Bank has not reinstated the amount so drawn, and such
non-reinstatement causes the total amount of the obligation of the Bank under
the Credit Facility to be less than the principal amount of the Outstanding
Bonds supported by the Credit Facility, plus accrued interest (1) for a
period of forty-five (45) days at the Maximum Interest Rate with respect to
the principal amount of such Bonds then Outstanding in the Weekly Mode, and
(2) for a period of one hundred ninety (190) days at the Maximum Interest
Rate with respect to the principal amount of such Bonds then Outstanding in
the Multiannual Mode.

Immediately upon receipt of written notice from the Bank of the
non-reinstatement of an amount drawn under the Credit Facility, the Paying
Agent shall determine whether such non-reinstatement causes the total amount
of the obligation of the Bank under the Credit Facility to be less than the
principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds supported by the Credit Facility
plus accrued interest thereon calculated in the manner set forth in the
preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding the outcome of such determination, the
Paying Agent shall immediately notify the Trustee of the Bank's failure to
reinstate the full amount drawn under the Credit Facility.

The Company agrees to notify the Authority, the Bank, the Remarketing Agent,
the Paying Agent and the Trustee promptly in writing of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default of which it has knowledge.  Within seven (7) days
after becoming aware of a Default or an Event of Default the Paying Agent
will give notice to the Bondowners and, in the case of a Default or Event of
Default under (i), (ii), (iv), or (v) above, the Trustee shall give notice to
the First Mortgage Bond Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, no action or
failure to act by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) which results in
interest on any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds becoming includable in gross
income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes shall constitute
a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement so long as (I) the Company
shall have delivered the opinion described in clause (i) of the first
paragraph of Section 405 or shall have complied with the last paragraph of
Section 405 and (II) the redemption provided by Section 405 occurs.  In such
event, no owner of Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds shall be entitled to any claim
for monetary damages hereunder and the redemption of the Bonds as provided
under Section 405 shall be the exclusive recourse of owners of Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds.

(b)  Waiver.  At any time before an acceleration pursuant to Paragraph
602(a)(i), the Trustee may waive a Default (other than a Default in the
payment of the Purchase Price, principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Bonds) and its consequences with respect to Bonds subject to acceleration
pursuant to Paragraph 602(a)(i), by written notice to the Company, and in the
absence of inconsistent instructions from Bondowners pursuant to Sections 606
or 901 shall do so upon written instruction of the owners of at least
twenty-five per cent (25%) in principal amount of such Bonds Outstanding.  No
waiver under this section shall affect the right of the Trustee or the
Authority to enforce the payment of any amounts owing to it.  The Trustee
shall not waive any Event of Default under Paragraphs 601(a)(i), 601(a)(iv)
or 601(a)(v).

Any cure or waiver of any "event of default" under the First Mortgage Bond
Indenture and a rescission and annulment of its consequences shall constitute
a cure or waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under Paragraph
601(a)(iii) and a rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof, and
the Trustee, upon obtaining knowledge thereof, shall give written notice of
such cure or waiver, rescission or annulment to the Authority and the
Company, and shall give notice thereof by mail to all Bondowners; but no such
cure or waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any
subsequent Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

Section 602.   Remedies for Events of Default.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing:

(a)  Acceleration.

(i)  Bonds Not Supported by a Credit Facility.  If the Event of Default is
one described in Paragraph 601(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Trustee may, and
upon the written request of the Bondowners of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Bonds Outstanding (other than Bonds that are supported by a
Credit Facility, Pledged Bonds and Company Bonds) shall, by written notice to
the Company, the Authority, the Paying Agent, and the Remarketing Agent
declare immediately due and payable the principal of the Outstanding Bonds
(other than Bonds that are supported by a Credit Facility and Pledged Bonds,
but including Company Bonds) and the accrued interest thereon, whereupon the
same shall become immediately due and payable without any further action or
notice.  If at any time after such acceleration and before any judgment or
decree for the payment of moneys with respect thereto has been entered all
amounts payable to the Authority and the Trustee hereunder and on Bonds
subject to acceleration under this Paragraph 602(a)(i) (except principal of
and interest on the Bonds which are due solely by reason of such
acceleration) shall have been paid or provided for by deposit with the
Trustee and all existing Defaults shall have been cured or waived, then the
Bondowners representing a majority in principal amount of the Bonds subject
to acceleration under this Paragraph 602(a)(i) may annul such acceleration
and its consequences by written notice to the Authority, the Trustee and the
Company.  Such annulment shall be binding upon the Authority, the Trustee and
all of the Bondowners, but no such annulment shall extend to or affect any
subsequent Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereto.

(ii) Bonds Supported by a Credit Facility.  If the Event of Default is one
described in Paragraph 601(a)(i), (iv) or (v), the principal of the Bonds
that are supported by a Credit Facility and Pledged Bonds and accrued
interest thereon shall automatically become immediately due and payable
without any further notice or action, subject, however, to the proviso set
forth in Section 605.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default
described in Paragraph 601(a)(i) occurs due to the failure of the Paying
Agent to receive sufficient funds for the payment of the Purchase Price of
all Bonds supported by a Credit Facility tendered for purchase on any
Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall immediately draw under the Credit
Facility an amount equal to such deficiency (except to the extent that one or
more drawings have been made previously in respect of the same deficiency),
plus one day's accrued interest on such Bonds, and only if such Event of
Default is not cured by the close of business on the next Business Day shall
there be such an automatic acceleration of the payment of principal of and
accrued interest on the Bonds.

(b)  Rights as a Secured Party.  The Trustee may exercise all of the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.  Notice sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, or delivered during business hours, to the
Company at least seven (7) days before an event under UCC Section 9-504(3) or
any successor provision of law shall constitute reasonable notification of
such event.

Section 603.   Court Proceedings.

The Trustee may enforce the provisions of this Agreement by appropriate legal
proceedings for the specific performance of any covenant, obligation or
agreement contained herein whether or not a Default or an Event of Default
exists, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable
remedy, and may recover damages caused by any breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Agreement, including (to the extent this Agreement may
lawfully provide) court costs, reasonable attorney's fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in enforcing the obligations of the Company hereunder.  The
Authority may likewise enforce obligations owed to it hereunder which it has
not assigned to the Trustee.  All rights under this Agreement and the Bonds
may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any Bonds or the
production thereof at the trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and
any proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the
ratable benefit of the Bondowners.

Section 604.   Revenues after Default.

After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any funds pledged as security
hereunder and any other moneys received by the Trustee (other than amounts
irrevocably set aside to pay particular Bonds) shall be applied to amounts
due under Section 308 (without regard to any grace periods), which amounts
shall be applied in the order specified in Section 307.

Section 605.   The Credit Facility; Acceleration.

Upon acceleration of the Bonds prior to expiration of the Credit Facility,
the Trustee shall instruct the Paying Agent to draw immediately on the Credit
Facility in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal of and interest
on the Bonds supported by the Credit Facility to the date of final payment
(which shall be the date of acceleration for Bonds in the Weekly and
Multiannual Modes and the next Purchase Date for each Bond in the Flexible
Mode); provided, however, that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of owners of Bonds in the Flexible Mode any amounts so drawn in
respect of such Bonds and shall release such amounts only on the applicable
Purchase Date for each such Bond.  The owners of such Bonds shall have no
right to make any claim for such amounts until such Purchase Date.  The
Trustee shall not require indemnification for any instruction required by
this Section 605 to be given by the Trustee to the Paying Agent to draw on
the Credit Facility, prior to the time such instruction is given, except and
unless such instruction is prohibited by or violates applicable law or any
outstanding or pending court or governmental order or decree.

Section 606.   Rights of Bondowners.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and if the Bondowners
representing not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding
shall have requested the Trustee in writing to exercise one or more of the
rights and remedies provided hereunder and offered it indemnity as provided
in Subsection 702(e), the Trustee shall be required to exercise such one or
more of the rights and remedies hereunder as the Trustee shall determine to
be in the best interest of the Bondowners and not inconsistent with any
directions given in accordance with Section 901.  No Bondowner shall have any
right to institute an action in law or equity or to pursue any other remedy
hereunder with respect to any Bond unless (i) an Event of Default of which
the Trustee has been notified has occurred and Bondowners representing not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding shall have
requested the Trustee in writing to exercise its rights and remedies with
respect thereto and shall have offered the Trustee reasonable opportunity to
do so and indemnity as provided in Subsection 702(e), and (ii) the Trustee
shall within a reasonable time thereafter fail to exercise any of such rights
or remedies.  No Bondowner shall have any right to institute any action or
pursue any other remedy if and to the extent that the surrender, impairment,
waiver, or loss of the lien of this Agreement would, under applicable law,
result.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Bondowner shall have a right of
action to enforce payment of the Bonds at and after the due dates thereof at
the place, from the sources and in the manner expressed in the Bonds.  For
purposes of this Section 606, so long as a Credit Facility has paid all
amounts due on Bonds it supports, the Bank issuing such Credit Facility shall
be treated as owner of such Bonds.

Section 607.   Performance of Company's Obligations.

If the Company shall fail to observe or perform any of its agreements or
obligations hereunder, the Authority or the Trustee may perform the same in
its own name or in the Company's name and each is hereby irrevocably
appointed the Company's attorney-in-fact for such purpose.  Unless an Event
of Default exists, the Authority or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall
give at least five (5) days' notice to the Company before taking action under
this section, except that in case of emergency as reasonably determined by
the acting party, it may act on lesser notice or give the notice promptly
after rather than before taking the action.  The reasonable cost of any such
action performed by the Trustee or the Authority shall be paid or reimbursed
by the Company within thirty (30) days after the Trustee or the Authority
notify the Company of such cost.

Section 608.   Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

The rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall
not exclude any other rights and remedies allowed by law, provided there is
no duplication of recovery.  Neither the failure to insist upon a strict
performance of any of the obligations of the Company nor the failure to
exercise any remedy for any violation thereof, shall be taken as a waiver for
the future of the right to insist upon strict performance of the obligation
or of the right to exercise any remedy for the violation.

ARTICLE VII:  THE TRUSTEE

Section 701.   Corporate Organization, Authorization and Capacity.

The Trustee represents and warrants that it is a trust company duly organized
and validly existing under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and
duly licensed or qualified to do business in Massachusetts, with the capacity
to exercise the powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder, and that by
proper corporate action it has duly authorized the execution and delivery of
this Agreement.

Section 702.   Rights and Duties of the Trustee.

(a)  Moneys to be Held in Trust.  All moneys deposited with the Trustee under
this Agreement (other than amounts received for its own use) shall be held by
the Trustee in trust and applied subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
but need not be segregated from other funds except as required herein or by
law.

(b)  Accounts.  The Trustee shall keep proper accounts of its transactions
hereunder (separate from its other accounts), which shall be open to
inspection at reasonable times by the Authority, the Company and the
Bondowners and their representatives duly authorized in writing.

(c)  Performance of the Authority's Obligations.  If the Authority shall fail
to observe or perform any agreement or obligation contained in this
Agreement, the Trustee may take whatever legal proceedings may be required to
compel full performance by the Authority of its obligations, and in addition,
the Trustee may, to whatever extent it deems appropriate for the protection
of the Bondowners, itself or the Company, perform any such obligation in the
name of the Authority and on its behalf.

(d)  Responsibility.  The Trustee shall be entitled to the advice of counsel
(who may be the Trustee's counsel, counsel for the Authority, the Company or
any Bondowner) and shall be wholly protected as to any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith in reliance on such advice.  The Trustee
may rely conclusively on any notice, certificate or other document furnished
to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be genuine.  The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably
believed by it to be within the discretion or powers conferred upon it, in
good faith omitted to be taken by it and reasonably believed to be beyond the
discretion or powers conferred upon it, taken by it pursuant to any direction
or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by
it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such
action; nor shall it be responsible for the consequences of any error of
judgment reasonably made by it.  The duties of the Trustee are those
expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no additional duties shall be
implied.  When any payment, consent or other action by it is called for
hereby, it may defer such action pending receipt of such evidence, if any, as
it may require in support thereof.  The Trustee shall in no event be liable
for the application or misapplication of funds, or for other acts or defaults
by any person, firm, or corporation, except its own directors, officers, and
employees.  No recourse shall be had by the Company, the Authority or any
Bondowner for any claim based on this Agreement or any Bond against any
director, officer, employee, or agent of the Trustee alleging personal
liability on the part of such person, unless such claim is based upon the bad
faith, negligence, fraud or deceit of such person.  The Trustee has no
responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Bonds
or any security therefor.

(e)  Limitations on Actions.  The Trustee shall not be required to monitor
the financial condition of the Company or the physical condition of the
Project Facilities and, unless otherwise expressly provided, shall not have
any responsibility with respect to notices, certificates or other documents
filed with it hereunder, except to make them available for inspection by the
Bondowners.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of and shall
not be required to take notice of any Default or Event of Default, except for
a Default or Event of Default described in Paragraph 601(a)(i) relating to
the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds,
unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing by the Company,
the Authority or Bondowners representing not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Bonds Outstanding, or in the case of a Default or Event of
Default described in Paragraph 601(a)(iii), the Trustee shall be notified in
writing by the First Mortgage Bond Trustee, or in the case of a Default or
Event of Default described in Paragraph 601(a)(iv) or (v), the Trustee shall
be notified in writing by the Bank or the Paying Agent.  It shall not be
required to take any remedial action (other than the giving of notice) unless
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it is furnished for any expense or
liability to be incurred therein, other than liability for failure to meet
the standards set forth in this section.  The Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Company for its expenses reasonably incurred or
advances reasonably made, which reimbursement shall be due and payable thirty
(30) days after notifying the Company of such expenses or advances, in the
exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder,
whether or not it acts without previously obtaining indemnity.

A permissive right or power to act shall not be construed as a requirement to
act.  Upon receipt of written notice, direction, instruction, and indemnity
as provided above and, after making such investigation, if any, as it deems
appropriate to verify the occurrence of any Default of which it is notified
by the Bondowners or the Bank, the Trustee shall pursue such remedies
hereunder (not contrary to such direction) as it deems appropriate for the
protection of the Bondowners (including the Bank as provided in Section 901);
and in its actions under this provision, the Trustee shall be required to act
for the protection of the Bondowners with the same prudence as would be
expected of a prudent person in the conduct of such person's affairs.

(f)  Financial Obligations.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any
way obligate the Trustee to pay any debt or meet any financial obligations to
any person in relation to the Project Facilities except from moneys received
under the provisions of this Agreement (including from the exercise of its
rights and remedies hereunder) other than moneys received for its own
purposes.

(g)  Ownership of Bonds.  The Trustee or any affiliate of the Trustee may be
or become the owner of Bonds with the same rights as if it were not Trustee.

(h)  No Surety Bond.  The Trustee shall not be required to furnish any bond
or surety.

(i)  Requests by the Company.  Upon any request by the Company to the Trustee
to take any action under this Agreement (including but not limited to any
proposed amendment pursuant to Section 1101) the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive from the Company prior to taking such action, and to rely upon, a
certificate of a Company Representative and an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee (who may be counsel to the Company), and, if
applicable in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee, a certificate of an
accountant satisfactory to the Company (who may be an employee of the
Company), each to the effect that in the signer's opinion all conditions
precedent applicable to such action under this Agreement, if any, have been
satisfied (and, in the case of the certificate of the Company Representative,
including but not limited to the absence of any Default or Event of Default)
and such action is permitted by this Agreement.

(j)  Trustee as Holder of Series F First Mortgage Bonds.  So long as no
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall have no
obligation to, take any action in its capacity as the registered holder of
the Series F First Mortgage Bonds (other than the duty to exercise reasonable
care in the safekeeping thereof and the giving of notices set forth below),
unless and except to the extent the Trustee is directed in writing by the
Bondowners as provided in Section 901 of this Agreement.  The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Bondowners of the receipt of and contents of any notice
it receives under the First Mortgage Bond Indenture (other than notices
solely of payments being made on the Series F First Mortgage Bonds).

(k)  Authentication of Bonds.  The Trustee shall act as authenticating agent
for the Bonds.  The Trustee may either sign the Certificate of Authentication
in its own name or may appoint one or more agents to sign the Certificate of
Authentication on the Trustee's behalf.  So long as Bonds are in the Flexible
or Weekly Mode the Trustee shall use its best efforts to have the ability to
cause the Certificate of Authentication to be executed in New York, New York
at a location satisfactory to the Paying Agent.  To satisfy this requirement,
the Trustee hereby initially appoints Security Pacific National Trust Company
(New York) to act as its agent for the purpose of signing the Certificate of
Authentication and delivery of the Bonds.  The Trustee shall have no
liability for the negligence or wrongful conduct (in each case whether by act
or omission) of any such agent appointed with reasonable care.  The Trustee
shall have no liability if, after its best efforts, it finds that it does not
have the ability (either directly or through an agent) to cause the
Certificate of Authentication to be executed and delivered in New York, New
York on a timely basis when Bonds are in the Flexible or Weekly Mode.

Section 703.   Fees and Expenses of the Trustee.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee reasonable compensation for its services
and prepay or reimburse the Trustee for its reasonable expenses and
disbursements, including attorney's fees, hereunder.  The Company shall
indemnify and save the Trustee harmless against any and all (a) claims as set
forth in Section 1002, (b) costs, counsel fees, expenses or liabilities
reasonably incurred in connection with such claims, and (c) expenses and
liabilities which it may incur in the exercise of its duties hereunder and
which are not due to the bad faith, negligence, fraud or deceit of any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee.  Any fees, expenses,
reimbursements, or other charges which the Trustee may be entitled to receive
from the Company hereunder shall be due and payable thirty (30) days after a
request for payment has been made by the Trustee, and if not otherwise paid,
shall be a first lien upon any funds or other property then or thereafter
held hereunder by the Trustee; provided, however, that the lien of the
Trustee shall be subordinate to the lien for the benefit of the Bondowners
upon the moneys drawn under the Credit Facility, and the proceeds of any
remarketing of the Bonds and other Eligible Funds, if any, which are the
basis of the determination made by the Paying Agent of the amount to be drawn
under the Credit Facility, including, without limitation, such funds held by
the Trustee under Section 204 and Subsection 304(c).  If any such moneys are
so applied, the Company shall be immediately obligated to restore the moneys
so applied.  The Trustee shall not require indemnification for any payment
when due of principal, premium or interest on any Bond to be made by the
Trustee to any Bondowner, prior to the time such payment is made by the
Trustee, except and unless such payment is prohibited by or violates
applicable law or any outstanding or pending court or governmental order or
decree.

Section 704.   Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign on not less than sixty (60) days' notice given in
writing to the Authority, the Bondowners, the Bank and the Company, but such
resignation shall not take effect until a successor has been appointed and
has assumed the duties hereunder.  The Trustee will promptly certify to the
other parties that it has mailed such notice to all Bondowners and such
certificate shall be conclusive evidence that such notice was given in the
manner required hereby.  The Trustee may be removed by written notice to the
parties from the Bondowners representing a majority in principal amount of
the Bonds Outstanding, but no such removal shall take effect until a
successor has been appointed and assumed the duties hereunder.  A petition in
a court of competent jurisdiction for removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor may be filed by the Bondowners representing not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding.

Section 705.   Successor Trustee.

Any corporation or association which succeeds to the corporate trust business
of the Trustee as a whole, or substantially as a whole, whether by sale,
merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall become vested with all the
property, rights and powers of the Trustee hereunder, without any further act
or conveyance.

In case the Trustee resigns or is removed or becomes incapable of acting, or
becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver, liquidator or conservator of
the Trustee or of its property is appointed, or if a public officer takes
charge or control of the Trustee, or of its property or affairs, a successor
shall be appointed (but only with the consent of the Bank, if any Bonds shall
then be entitled to the benefits of a Credit Facility, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld) by written notice from the Company to the
Authority.  The Company shall notify the Bondowners of the appointment in
writing within twenty (20) days from the appointment.  The Company will
promptly certify to the successor Trustee that it has mailed such notice to
all Bondowners and such certificate will be conclusive evidence that such
notice was given in the manner required hereby.  If no appointment of a
successor is made within twenty (20) days after the giving of written notice
in accordance with Section 704 or after the occurrence of any other event
requiring or authorizing such appointment, the outgoing Trustee or any
Bondowner may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of such a successor, and such  court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as such court may deem proper, appoint such successor.  Any
successor Trustee appointed under this section shall be a trust company or a
bank having the powers of a trust company that meets the requirements of the
Act, shall have a capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and shall
at the time of the appointment be rated not less than Baa3/P-3 by Moody's or
otherwise be acceptable to Moody's.  Any such successor Trustee shall notify
the Authority and the Company of its acceptance of the appointment and, upon
giving such notice, shall become Trustee, vested with all the property,
rights and powers of the Trustee hereunder, without any further act or
conveyance.  Such successor Trustee shall execute, deliver, record and file
such instruments as are required to confirm or perfect its succession
hereunder and any predecessor Trustee shall from time to time execute,
deliver, record and file such instruments as the incumbent Trustee may
reasonably require to confirm or perfect any succession hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII:  THE AUTHORITY

Section 801.   Limited Obligation.

Under no circumstances shall the Authority be obligated directly or
indirectly to pay Project Costs, principal of or premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds, or expenses of operation, maintenance and upkeep of
the Project Facilities except from Bond proceeds or from funds received under
this Agreement, exclusive of funds received hereunder by the Authority for
its own use.  This Agreement does not create any debt of the State of New
Hampshire with respect to the Project Facilities other than a special
obligation of the Authority acting on behalf of the State of New Hampshire
pursuant to the Act.  Nothing contained herein shall in any way obligate the
State of New Hampshire to raise any money by taxation or use other public
funds for any purpose in relation to the Project Facilities.  Neither the
State of New Hampshire nor the Authority shall pay or promise to pay any debt
or meet any financial obligation to any person at any time in relation to the
Project Facilities except (i) from moneys received or to be received under
the provisions hereof or derived from the exercise of the Authority's right
hereunder, other than moneys received for its own purposes, or (ii) as may be
required by law other than the provisions of the Act.  Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be construed to require or authorize the Authority to
operate the Project Facilities itself or to conduct any business enterprise
in connection therewith.

Section 802.   Rights and Duties of the Authority.

(a)  Remedies of the Authority.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision in
this Agreement, the Authority shall have the right to take any action or make
any decision with respect to proceedings for indemnity against the liability
of the Authority and for collection or reimbursement from sources other than
moneys or property held under this Agreement or subject to the lien hereof.
The Authority may enforce its rights under this Agreement which have not been
assigned to the Trustee by legal proceedings for the specific performance of
any obligation contained herein or for the enforcement of any other
appropriate legal or equitable remedy, and may recover damages caused by any
breach by the Company of its obligations to the Authority under this
Agreement, including court costs, reasonable attorney's fees and other costs
and expenses incurred in enforcing such obligations.

(b)  Limitations on Actions.  The Authority shall not be required to monitor
the financial condition of the Company or the physical condition of the
Project Facilities and, unless otherwise expressly provided, shall not have
any responsibility with respect to notices, certificates or other documents
filed with it hereunder.  The Authority shall not be required to take notice
of any breach or default except when given notice thereof by the Trustee.
The Authority shall not be responsible for the payment of any rebate to the
United States under IRC <section> 148(f).  The Authority shall not be required
to
take any action unless indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it is furnished
for expenses or liability to be incurred therein (other than the giving of
notice).  The Authority, upon written request of the Bondowners, the Bank or
the Trustee, and upon receipt of  reasonable indemnity for expenses or
liability, shall cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the
Trustee to exercise any power granted to the Trustee by this Agreement.  The
Authority shall be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 803 to the
extent that it acts without previously obtaining full indemnity.

(c)  Responsibility.  The Authority shall be entitled to the advice of
counsel (who may be counsel for any party, for the Bank, the Paying Agent or
the Remarketing Agent, or for any Bondowner) and shall be wholly protected as
to any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in reliance on such
advice.  The Authority may rely conclusively on any notice, certificate or
other document furnished to it under this Agreement and reasonably believed
by it to be genuine.  The Authority shall not be liable for any action taken
by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion
or power conferred upon it, or in good faith omitted to be taken by it and
reasonably believed to be beyond such discretion or power, or taken by it
pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed under this
Agreement or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or
instruction required for such action under this Agreement, or be responsible
for the consequences of any error of judgment reasonably made by it.  When
any payment, consent or other action by the Authority is called for by this
Agreement, the Authority may defer such action pending such investigation or
inquiry or receipt of such evidence, if any, as it may require in support
thereof.  A permissive right or power to act shall not be construed as a
requirement to act, and no delay in the exercise of a right or power shall
affect the subsequent exercise thereof.  The Authority shall in no event be
liable for the application or misapplication of funds, or for other acts or
defaults by any person or entity except by its own directors, officers and
employees.  No recourse shall be had by the Company, the Trustee or any
Bondowner for any claim based on this Agreement or the Bonds against any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority unless such claim is
based upon the bad faith, fraud or deceit of such person.  No covenant,
obligation or agreement of the Authority contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a covenant, obligation or agreement of any present or future
director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority in his individual
capacity, and no person executing a Bond shall be liable personally thereon
or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the
issuance thereof.

Section 803.   Expenses of the Authority.

The Company shall pay when due the Authority's Service Charge and shall
prepay or reimburse the Authority within thirty (30) days after notice for
all expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by the Authority
in connection with the issuance and carrying of the Bonds and all expenses
reasonably incurred or advances reasonably made in the exercise of the
Authority's rights or their performance of its obligations hereunder.  Any
fees, expenses, reimbursements or other charges which the Authority may be
entitled to receive from the Company hereunder, if not paid when due, shall
bear interest at 15% per annum.

Section 804.   Matters to be Considered by Authority.

In approving, concurring in or consenting to action or in exercising any
discretion or in making any determination under this Agreement, the Authority
may consider the interests of the public, which shall include the anticipated
effect of any transaction on tax revenues and employment, as well as the
interests of the other parties hereto and the Bondowners; provided, however,
nothing herein shall be construed as conferring on any person other than the
other parties and the Bondowners any right to notice, hearing or
participation in the Authority's consideration, and nothing in this section
shall be construed as conferring on any of them any right additional to those
conferred elsewhere herein.  Subject to the foregoing, the Authority will not
unreasonably withhold any approval or consent to be given by it hereunder.

Section 805.   Actions by Authority.

Any action which may be taken by the Authority hereunder shall be deemed
sufficiently taken if taken on its behalf by its Chairman, its Vice Chairman
or its Executive Director or by any other director, officer or agent whom it
may designate from time to time.

ARTICLE IX:  THE BONDOWNERS

Section 901.   Action by Bondowners.

Subject to Subsections 601(b), 602(a) and Section 1101 (as to the waivers and
consents granted thereby), Bondowners representing a majority in principal
amount of the Bonds Outstanding shall have the right at any time, by written
notice to the Trustee and upon offering it indemnity as provided in
Subsection 702(e), to direct the Trustee (i) in the granting of any consents,
waivers or similar actions pertaining to the Bonds, (ii) in the time, method
and place of conducting all proceedings, (iii) in the exercise of any rights
or remedies available to the Trustee hereunder, or (iv) in the exercise of
any other right or power conferred upon the Trustee for the protection of the
Bondowners, provided that such direction shall be in accordance with the
provisions of law and this Agreement, and the Trustee may take any other
action determined proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.

Except with respect to the matters provided below, Bondowners representing a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding shall have the right,
at any time, by written notice to the Trustee and the offering of indemnity
as provided in Subsection 702(e), to direct the Trustee, as holder of all of
the Series F First Mortgage Bonds, to exercise the rights available to it as
holder of such bonds under the First Mortgage Bond Indenture, including,
without limitation, as to rendering notice to the First Mortgage Bond Trustee
of the occurrence of a default thereunder, the institution of any suit,
action or proceeding to enforce payments on the Series F First Mortgage Bonds
which were not paid when due or other proceeding in respect of the First
Mortgage Bond Indenture which the Trustee, as holder of the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds, is entitled to institute, and as to the time, place and
method of any such proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, as
holder of the Series F First Mortgage Bonds, subject however to compliance
with the applicable provisions of the First Mortgage Bond Indenture.

Where the First Mortgage Bond Trustee is required or permitted to take any
action under the First Mortgage Bond Indenture upon the direction,
authorization, consent, notice or request of the holders of a specified
percentage of principal amount of bonds outstanding thereunder or of
outstanding bonds thereunder which would be adversely affected by such
action, including with respect to acceleration of the maturity of such bonds
under Section 10.1 of the First Mortgage Bond Indenture, the time, method and
place of proceedings and waivers of events of default, as provided in Section
10.12 of the First Mortgage Bond Indenture and amendments of the First
Mortgage Bond Indenture under Article 15 thereof, each Bondowner shall be
deemed the holder of its pro-rata portion of the principal amount of Series F
First Mortgage Bonds and shall have the right to direct the Trustee whether
or not to render such direction, authorization, consent, notice or request
under the First Mortgage Bond Indenture in respect of such Bondowner's
pro-rata portion, whereupon the Trustee shall notify the First Mortgage Bond
Trustee of the action to be taken in respect of the applicable principal
amount of Series F First Mortgage Bonds.

Any request, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Bondowners may be
contained in and evidenced by one or more writings of substantially the same
tenor signed by the Bondowners of the requisite percentage of principal
amount of Bonds Outstanding or their attorneys duly appointed in writing.
Proof of the execution of any such instrument, or of any instrument
appointing any such attorney, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Agreement (except as otherwise herein expressly provided) if made in the
following manner, but the Authority or the Trustee may nevertheless in its
discretion require further or other proof in cases where it deems the same
desirable:

The fact and date of the execution by any Bondowner or his or her attorney of
such instrument may be proved by the certificate, which need not be
acknowledged or verified, of an officer of a bank or trust company
satisfactory to the Authority or to the Trustee or of any notary public or
other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of the deeds to be recorded
in the state in which he purports to act, that the person signing such
request or other instrument acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof,
or by an affidavit of a witness of such execution, duly sworn to before such
notary public or other officer.  The authority of the person or persons
executing any such instrument on behalf of a corporate Bondowner may be
established without further proof if such instrument is signed by a person
purporting to be the president or a vice president of such corporation with a
corporate seal affixed and attested by a person purporting to be its clerk or
secretary or an assistant clerk or assistant secretary.

The ownership of Bonds and the amount, numbers and other identification, and
date of holding the same shall be proved by the registry books for the Bonds
maintained by the Trustee.

Any request, consent or vote of the owner of any Bond shall bind all future
owners of such Bond.  Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the
Authority, the Company, or any related person to the Company within the
meaning of Section 147(a) of the IRC shall not be deemed Outstanding Bonds
for the purpose of any consent or other action by Bondowners, except that for
such purposes Pledged Bonds shall be treated as Outstanding and shall be
deemed to be owned by the Bank.  So long as no Default exists under Paragraph
601(a)(i) with respect to any Bonds supported by a Credit Facility, the Bank
and not the Bondowner shall be treated as the owner of all Bonds entitled to
the benefits of such Credit Facility for the purpose of any consent or other
action by Bondowners.

ARTICLE X:  THE COMPANY

Section 1001.  Existence and Good Standing; Merger; Consolidation.

The Company will maintain its corporate existence, qualification to do
business and good standing under the laws of the State of New Hampshire and
will maintain itself as a foreign corporation duly qualified to do business
and in good standing, where applicable, in each jurisdiction in which the
failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect upon its business
or properties.  The Company shall not merge or consolidate with or sell all
or substantially all of its assets to another entity, except that the Company
may transfer the Station in connection with a transfer of the Project
Facilities pursuant to Section 505 and the Company may so merge or
consolidate with or sell all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation if (i) the surviving or transferee corporation is qualified to do
business in New Hampshire, (ii) the surviving or transferee corporation (if
not the Company) has assumed in writing all of the Company's obligations
hereunder and under the Series F First Mortgage Bonds, and (iii) upon such
assumption there will not be a Default hereunder or an event of default under
the First Mortgage Bond Indenture (disregarding any required passage of time
or giving of notice thereunder).

Section 1002.  Indemnification by the Company.

The Company, regardless of any agreement to maintain insurance, will
indemnify the Authority and the Trustee against (a) any and all claims by any
person related to the participation of the Authority or the Trustee in the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation
claims arising out of any condition of the Project Facilities or Station or
the construction, use, occupancy or management thereof; any accident, injury
or damage to any person occurring in or about the Station; any breach by the
Company of its obligations under this Agreement; any act or omission of the
Company or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees;
or the offering, issuance, sale or any resale of the Bonds to the extent
permitted by law, and (b) all costs, counsel fees, expenses or liabilities
reasonably incurred in connection with any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon.  In case any action or proceeding is brought
against the Authority or the Trustee by reason of any such claim, the Company
will defend the same at its expense upon notice from the Authority or the
Trustee, and the Authority or the Trustee, as the case may be, will cooperate
with the Company, at the expense of the Company, in connection therewith.

ARTICLE XI:  MISCELLANEOUS

Section 1101.  Amendments.

(a)  Without Bondowners' Consent.  The parties may from time to time, without
the consent of any Bondowner, amend this Agreement in order to (i) cure any
ambiguity, defect or omission in this Agreement that does not materially
adversely affect the interests of the Bondowners, (ii) grant additional
rights or security to the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondowners, (iii)
add additional Events of Default as shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement and which shall not materially adversely affect
the interests of the Bondowners, (iv) qualify this Agreement under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or corresponding provisions of federal
laws from time to time in effect, (v) provide for the establishment of a book
entry system of registration for the Bonds through a securities depository,
(vi) effective upon any Conversion Date to a new Mode, make any amendment
affecting only the Bonds being converted, (vii) add provisions relating to
the partial conversion of Bonds to a new Mode or the issuance of Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds which do not impair the security for the outstanding Bonds,
or (viii) make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions
arising under this Agreement as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement and which shall not materially adversely affect the
interests of the Bondowners.

(b)  With Bondowners' Consent.  Except as set forth in Subsection 1101(a),
the parties may from time to time amend this Agreement with the consent of
the owners of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
Outstanding; provided, that no amendment shall be made which adversely
affects the rights of some but less than all the Bonds Outstanding without
the consent of the owners of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of
the Bonds so affected; and provided further, that no amendment of this
Agreement shall be effective to (i) change the principal, premium or interest
on any Bonds, (ii) change the interest payment dates, maturity dates or
purchase or redemption provisions of any Bonds, (iii) reduce the percentage
of Bondowners whose consent is required for the amendment of this Agreement
or (iv) modify the lien upon or pledge of the payments and other revenues
assigned and pledged hereunder (including any Credit Facility), without the
consent, in each case, of the owner of each Bond which would be affected by
the action proposed to be taken.

When the Trustee determines that the requisite number of consents have been
obtained for an amendment which requires Bondowner consents, it shall, within
ninety (90) days, file a certificate to that effect in its records and mail
notice to the Bondowners.  No action or proceeding to invalidate the
amendment shall be instituted or maintained unless it is commenced within
sixty (60) days after such mailing.  The Trustee will promptly certify to the
Authority that it has mailed such notice to all Bondowners and such
certificate will be conclusive evidence that such notice was given in the
manner required hereby.  A consent to an amendment may be revoked by a notice
given by the Bondowner and received by the Trustee prior to the Trustee's
certification that the requisite consents have been obtained.

(c)  General.  Any amendment of this Agreement shall be accompanied by an
opinion of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Authority and the
Trustee to the effect that the amendment is permitted by this Agreement and,
if there are any Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds outstanding, that such amendment
will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income
tax purposes of interest on such Tax-Exempt Refunding Bonds.  So long as a
Credit Facility supports any of the Bonds no amendment to this Agreement
shall be made without the consent of the Bank.

Notice of any amendment of this Agreement, or any material change to the
Reimbursement Agreement or any remarketing agreement entered into by the
Remarketing Agent and the Company shall be sent by the Company to Moody's.

Section 1102.  Notices.

Unless otherwise expressly provided, all notices to the Authority, the

the Paying Agent to change its address as shown on the registration books by
written notice to the Paying Agent.  All notices to Bondowners shall identify

equipment used for exempt facilities.  The purpose of this building is to
house the air and water pollution control facilities and the solid waste
disposal facilities.

Auxiliary Building

The Auxiliary Building is a reinforced concrete structure which houses both
pollution control and production related equipment.  Pollution control
facilities located in the Auxiliary Building include portions of the liquid
radwaste and gaseous radwaste systems.  The cost of the Auxiliary Building
and general support equipment has been allocated to the exempt facilities
according to the ratio of space used for qualified equipment to the total
space used in the building for all equipment.

Spent Nuclear Fuel Facility

The Spent Nuclear Fuel Facility is located in a separate building with

through an allocation of the cost of the overall fuel facility between spent
fuel facilities and production facilities.

Circulating Water System

The Circulating Water System will provide cooling water to the main
condensers of Seabrook Station.  The Circulating Water System is a
once-through system using sea water from the Atlantic Ocean to remove the
heat of condensation from the steam cycle and to dispose of that heat in an
environmentally acceptable manner.  The points of inlet and discharge of the
cooling water are offshore, east of Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.

The System includes the following structures:  Two 19-foot inside diameter
tunnels, lined with reinforced concrete, which connect the plant with the
offshore inlet and outlet structures; a pumphouse, located at the plant site
which encloses traveling screens and pumps for the circulating water and
service water systems; and a piping system at the plant site, for the most
part underground, interconnecting the tunnels, the pumphouse, and the
condensers.

The tunnels extend through the underlying rock in an east-west direction at
an elevation between 200 and 250 feet below sea level.  They end at the plant
site with two 19-foot diameter vertical shafts, which reach above grade
transforming at the top into two transition boxes open to the atmosphere.  At
the offshore end, the intake tunnel terminates with three 9-foot inside
diameter vertical shafts connecting to three submerged inlet heads.  The
discharge tunnel terminates with eleven 5-foot inside diameter vertical
shafts, each connecting to a submerged bifurcated diffuser head.

Service Water Cooling Tower System

The Service Water Cooling Tower System disposes of waste heat from the plant
service water system.  Waste heat from equipment throughout the plant is
collected by the service water cooling system piping.  The service water
transfers waste heat to the service water cooling tower, which discharges
heat to the atmosphere, thereby controlling discharge of waste heat to the
natural water resources adjacent to the station.  The Service Water Cooling
Tower System components include the service water cooling tower, service
water piping, pumps and associated electrical service, mechanical equipment,
controls and instrumentation.

Screen Wash System

The Screen Wash System collects, stores and disposes of debris removed from
the circulating and service water systems.  This debris is solid waste with
no market or other value.  After removal, the debris is transferred to a
landfill for final disposal.  The components of the Screen Wash System
include the screen wash pumps, trash trough, trash container, piping and
valves, associated electrical service, mechanical equipment, controls and
instrumentation.

which the Seabrook Transferee shall in good faith be diligently contesting
the validity thereof.

(d)  The Seabrook Transferee shall pay in a timely manner all costs of
maintaining and operating the Project Facilities, including without
limitation all taxes, excises and other governmental charges lawfully levied

of the Project Facilities, including without limitation claims arising out of
any condition of the Project Facilities or Station or the construction, use,
occupancy or management thereof; any accident, injury or damage to any person
occurring in or about the Station; any breach by the Seabrook Transferee of
its obligations under this Assumption Agreement; any act or omission of the
Seabrook Transferee or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or
licensees; and (b) all costs, counsel fees, expenses or liabilities
reasonably incurred in connection with any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon.  In case any action or proceeding is brought
against the Authority or the Trustee by reason of any such claim, the
Seabrook Transferee will defend the same at its expense upon notice from the
Authority or the Trustee, and the Authority or the Trustee, as the case may
be, will cooperate with the Seabrook Transferee, at the expense of the
Seabrook Transferee, in connection therewith.

Section 5.  Failure to Comply.  The Seabrook Transferee shall immediately
notify the Authority, the Company and the Trustee of any failure to observe
or perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein, and
thereafter shall keep the Authority, the Company and the Trustee informed
with respect to any curative action instituted by the Seabrook Transferee in
order to cure such failure.

Section 6.  Amendment.  This Assumption Agreement may be amended by the
parties hereto, provided, however, that in connection with any amendment the
Company or the Seabrook Transferee shall furnish the Authority and the
Trustee with an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that the amendment will not
impair the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income of the owners
thereof for federal income tax purposes.

Agreement is not intended for the benefit of and shall not be construed to
create rights in parties other than the Authority, the Company, the Seabrook

delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be
an original; but such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

Section 10.  Governing Law.  This Assumption Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of New Hampshire.

CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Industrial Development Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received, promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest from the most
recent Interest Payment Date, as defined below, to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF
THIS BOND set forth above, until paid in full, at the rates set forth below,
payable on each Interest Payment Date.  So long as this bond is in the
Flexible Mode, interest shall be due on this bond on each Purchase Date (as
defined below) and on the MATURITY DATE, and when this bond is in any other
Mode interest shall be due on the dates provided in the Agreement (the
"Interest Payment Dates").  Until conversion to the Weekly, Multiannual or
Fixed Rate Mode as provided below, this bond shall bear interest at the
Flexible Rate.  The Flexible Rate for this bond shall be the rate of interest
determined by the Remarketing Agent designated as provided in the Agreement
(herein, with its successors, the "Remarketing Agent"), for each Rate Period,
as defined below, to be the lowest rate which in its judgment, on the basis
of prevailing financial market conditions, is necessary on and as of the
Effective Date, as defined below, to remarket each Bond having such Rate
Period in a secondary market transaction at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, but not in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate.  If this bond
is converted to the Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode it shall bear
interest at the Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate, as the case may be, as
defined in the Agreement.  The Remarketing Agent shall determine the initial
Flexible Rate on or before the date of issue in or of conversion to the
Flexible Mode, which rate shall remain in effect as provided in the
Agreement.  Thereafter, the Remarketing Agent shall redetermine the Flexible
Rate for each Rate Period as provided below.  The amount of interest due on
any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of unpaid interest accrued on
this bond through the day preceding such Interest Payment Date or, if such
Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, through the day preceding the
first Business Day succeeding such Interest Payment Date.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds (Public
Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991 Taxable Series D) (the
"Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $114,500,000 issued under New
Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are being
loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a New
Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1991 among the Company, the Authority and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations under
the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below), the Company has issued and
delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds, Series F (the "Series F
First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First Mortgage Indenture dated as of
August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture thereto
dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company and First Fidelity Bank, National
Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to
time, the "First Mortgage Bond Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount,
and with an interest rate, maturity date and redemption provisions
corresponding to those of the Bonds.  As provided in the Agreement, payments
of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the Trustee, be deemed to constitute
payments in corresponding amounts by the Company in respect of the Bonds.
Reference is hereby made to the Agreement for the provisions thereof with
respect to the rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and
immunities of the Company, the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and
the Bondowners, including the order of payments in the event of insufficient
funds, the disposition of unclaimed moneys held by the Trustee and
restrictions on the rights of owners of the Bonds to bring suit.  The
Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the manner provided therein.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee.

The Purchase Price (as defined below) and principal of and interest on this
bond while it is in the Flexible Mode is also payable from moneys drawn by
the Paying Agent on an irrevocable letter of credit for the Bonds (together
with any extensions and renewals thereof, the "Letter of Credit") issued by
Citibank, N.A. in the initial aggregate stated amount of $121,014,000
pursuant to the terms of a Series D Letter of Credit and Reimbursement
Agreement dated as of May 1, 1991 (the "Reimbursement Agreement") by and
between the Company and Citibank, N.A. (together with any other issuer of a
Credit Facility, the "Bank").  The Letter of Credit initially expires on the
fourth anniversary of the DATE OF THIS BOND but may be terminated earlier
upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Agreement and the
Reimbursement Agreement or extended as provided in the Reimbursement
Agreement.  The Company may substitute the Letter of Credit in whole or in
part with one or more new letters of credit (collectively with the Letter of
Credit, a "Credit Facility") as provided in the Agreement and the
Reimbursement Agreement.  The Company may substitute a new Letter of Credit
as provided in the Agreement.

At the option of the Company and upon certain conditions provided for in the
Agreement described below, all or a portion of the Bonds (a) may be converted
or reconverted from time to time to or from the Weekly Mode or Multiannual
Mode, which means that the Rate Period is, respectively, one week or one year
or any multiple of one year, (b) may be converted or reconverted from time to
time to or from the Flexible Mode, and will have Rate Periods of from one to
270 days as provided herein, or (c) may be converted to the Fixed Rate Mode;
provided, however, that in the Multiannual Mode the first rate period
occurring after conversion to such Mode may be shorter than the applicable
multiple of one year as provided in the Agreement.  While this bond is in the
Flexible Mode, a new interest rate shall take effect on the date such Mode
takes effect, and on the Effective Date of the next Flexible Rate Period, as
defined herein, applicable to this bond.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, conversions to any other Mode may
take place only on an Effective Date.  Conversion of this bond to another
Mode shall be subject to certain conditions set forth in the Agreement.  In
the event that the conditions for a proposed conversion to a new Mode are not
met (i) such new Mode shall not take effect on the proposed conversion date,
notwithstanding any prior notice to the Bondowners of such conversion and
(ii) this bond shall remain in the Flexible Mode with a Rate Period of one
day.  In no event shall the failure of this bond to be converted to another
Mode be deemed to be a Default or an Event of Default under the Agreement as
long as the Purchase Price (as defined below) is made available on the failed
conversion date to owners of all Bonds that were to have been converted.

While Bonds bear interest at Flexible Rates, the interest rate for each
particular Bond in the Flexible Mode will be determined by the Remarketing
Agent and will remain in effect from and including the Effective Date of the
Rate Period selected for that Bond by the Remarketing Agent through the last
date thereof.  While the Bonds are in the Flexible Mode, Bonds may have
successive Rate Periods of any duration up to 270 days each and ending on a
Business Day and any Bond may bear interest at a rate and for a period
different from any other Bond.

In the event that the Remarketing Agent no longer determines, or fails to
determine when required, any Rate Period or any Flexible Rate for any Bonds,
or if for any reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, the Rate Period for any such Bond shall be deemed
to be a Flexible Rate Period with a duration of one day and the Flexible Rate
shall be determined as provided in the Agreement.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode it is subject to mandatory tender for
purchase on each applicable Effective Date at a price (the "Purchase Price")
of par plus accrued interest to the Effective Date.  THE OWNER OF THIS BOND,
BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO SELL AND SURRENDER THIS BOND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT AND, ON THE PURCHASE DATE, TO SURRENDER
THIS BOND TO THE PAYING AGENT FOR PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.  UPON
DEPOSIT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE WITH THE PAYING AGENT ON THE PURCHASE DATE,
THIS BOND SHALL BE DEEMED TENDERED FOR PURCHASE AND SHALL CEASE TO BE
OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST HEREON SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF
THE PURCHASE DATE, AND THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO
RECEIVE THE PURCHASE PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE PAYING AGENT UPON SURRENDER
OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.  The Purchase Price shall be paid on
the Delivery Date, which shall be the Effective Date or any subsequent
Business Day on which this bond is delivered to the Paying Agent.  The
Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid only upon surrender of this bond to
the Paying Agent as provided herein.  From and after the Effective Date, no
further interest shall be payable to the REGISTERED OWNER during the
preceding Rate Period, provided that there are sufficient funds available on
the Effective Date to pay the Purchase Price.

Each determination and redetermination of the Flexible Rate shall be
conclusive and binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Bank, the Company and the Bondowners.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, interest shall be computed on the
basis of actual days elapsed divided by 360.  From and after the date on
which this bond becomes due, any unpaid principal will bear interest at the
then effective interest rate until paid or duly provided for.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, the principal of and interest on
this bond due on the MATURITY DATE are payable when due by wire or bank
transfer of immediately available funds within the continental United States
to the REGISTERED OWNER hereof but only upon presentation and surrender of
this bond at the offices of Security Pacific National Trust Company (New
York), New York, New York, as Paying Agent (with its successors in such
capacity, the "Paying Agent").  While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, the
Purchase Price of this bond (which includes accrued interest to the Purchase
Date) tendered for purchase is payable by wire or bank transfer within the
continental United States from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER at
its address shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.
Payment of the Purchase Price of this bond to such owner shall be made on the
Purchase Date if presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior to
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Purchase Date or on such later
Business Day upon which presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior
to 11:00 A.M., New York City time.  The Purchase Price of this bond shall be
paid in immediately available funds.  Overdue interest on this bond, or
interest on overdue principal while in the Flexible Mode is payable in
immediately available funds by wire or bank transfer within the continental
United States from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER, determined as of
the close of business on the applicable special record date as determined by
the Trustee, at its address as shown on the registration books maintained by
the Paying Agent.  The special record date may be not more than thirty (30)
days before the date set for payment.  The Paying Agent will mail notice of a
special record date to the Bondowners at least ten (10) days before the
special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly certify to the
Authority, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent that it has mailed such
notice to all Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive evidence
that notice was given in the manner required hereby.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount without transfer to a new registered owner.
Exchanges and transfers will be without expense to the owner except for
applicable taxes or other governmental charges, if any.

The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form and while in the
Flexible Mode shall be in denominations of $100,000 or any multiple of $1,000
in excess of $100,000.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or its duly appointed agent for such purpose.

REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS BOND ON THE BACK, WHICH
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH HERE.

THIS BOND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
OR OF THE AUTHORITY EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW HAMPSHIRE RSA
CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Industrial Development Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received, promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest from the most
recent INTEREST PAYMENT DATE to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF THIS BOND set forth
above, until paid in full, at the rates set forth below, payable on each
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE.  Until conversion to the Flexible, Multiannual or
Fixed Rate Mode as provided below, this bond shall bear interest at the
Weekly Rate.  The Weekly Rate for this bond shall be the rate of interest
determined by the Remarketing Agent designated as provided in the Agreement
(herein, with its successors, the "Remarketing Agent"), for each Rate Period,
as defined below, to be the lowest rate which in its judgment, on the basis
of prevailing financial market conditions, would permit the sale of the Bonds
(as defined below) in the Weekly Mode at par plus accrued interest on and as
of the Effective Date, as defined below, but not in excess of the Maximum
Interest Rate.  If this bond is converted to the Flexible, Multiannual or
Fixed Rate Mode it shall bear interest at the Flexible, Multiannual or Fixed
Rate, as the case may be, as defined in the Agreement.  The Remarketing Agent
shall determine the initial Weekly Rate on or before the date of issue in or
of conversion to the Weekly Mode, which rate shall remain in effect as
provided in the Agreement. Thereafter, the Remarketing Agent shall
redetermine the Weekly Rate for each Rate Period as provided below.  The
amount of interest due on any INTEREST PAYMENT DATE shall be the amount of
unpaid interest accrued on this bond through the day preceding such INTEREST
PAYMENT DATE.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds (Public
Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991 Taxable Series D) (the
"Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $114,500,000 issued under New
Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are being
loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a New
Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1991 among the Company, the Authority and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations under
the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below), the Company has issued and
delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds, Series F (the "Series F
First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First Mortgage Indenture dated as of
August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture thereto
dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company and First Fidelity Bank, National
Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to
time, the "First Mortgage Bond Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount,
and with an interest rate, maturity date and redemption provisions
corresponding to those of the Bonds.  As provided in the Agreement, payments
of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the Trustee, be deemed to constitute
payments in corresponding amounts by the Company in respect of the Bonds.
Reference is hereby made to the Agreement for the provisions thereof with
respect to the rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and
immunities of the Company, the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and
the Bondowners, including the order of payments in the event of insufficient
funds, the disposition of unclaimed moneys held by the Trustee and
restrictions on the rights of owners of the Bonds to bring suit.  The
Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the manner provided therein.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee.

The Purchase Price (as defined below) and principal of and interest on this
bond while it is in the Weekly Mode is also payable from moneys drawn by the
Paying Agent on an irrevocable letter of credit for the Bonds (together with
any extensions and renewals thereof, the "Letter of Credit") issued by
             pursuant to the terms of a Reimbursement Agreement dated as of
             (the "Reimbursement Agreement") by and between the Company and
             (together with any other issuer of a Credit Facility, the
"Bank").  The Paying Agent may draw on the Letter of Credit presently in
place for the payment of up to forty-five (45) days' interest for Bonds in
the Weekly Mode.  The Letter of Credit initially expires on               ,
   but may be terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain events set
forth in the Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement or extended as
provided in the Reimbursement Agreement.  Unless the Letter of Credit is
extended or renewed or a substitute letter of credit (collectively with the
Letter of Credit, a "Credit Facility") is provided in accordance with the
Agreement, the Bonds will become subject to mandatory purchase as described
below.  The Company may substitute a new Credit Facility as provided in the
Agreement.

In case any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount
of this bond together with accrued interest may become or be declared
immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this bond shall
have the meaning given them in the Agreement.  The following terms are
defined as follows:

"Business Day" means a day (i) that is not a Sunday or legal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close, (ii)
that is not a day on which the corporate trust office of the First Mortgage
Bond Trustee is not open for business, (iii) that is a day on which banks are
not required or authorized to close in New York, New York, and (iv) that is a
day on which banking institutions in all of the cities in which the principal
offices of the Trustee and the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the
Remarketing Agent and the Bank are located are not required or authorized to
remain closed and on which the New York Stock Exchange is not closed.

"Effective Date" means, with respect to a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly and
Multiannual Modes, the date on which a new Rate Period for that Bond takes
effect.

"Mode" means the period for and the manner in which the interest rates on the
Bonds are set and includes the Flexible Mode, the Weekly Mode, the
Multiannual Mode and the Fixed Rate Mode.

"Purchase Date" means, while this bond is in the Weekly Mode, the date on
which this bond shall be required to be purchased pursuant to a mandatory or
optional tender in accordance with the provisions hereof.

"Rate Period" or "Period" means, when used with respect to any particular
rate of interest for a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly or Multiannual Mode, the
period during which such rate of interest determined for such Bond will
remain in effect as described herein.  While this bond is in the Weekly Mode,
a new interest rate shall take effect on the date such Mode takes effect and
thereafter on each Wednesday.

At the option of the Company and upon certain conditions provided for in the
Agreement described below, all or a portion of the Bonds (a) may be converted
or reconverted from time to time to or from the Weekly Mode or Multiannual
Mode, which means that the Rate Period is, respectively, one week or one year
or any multiple of one year, (b) may be converted or reconverted from time to
time to or from the Flexible Mode, and will have Rate Periods of from one to
270 days as provided herein, or (c) may be converted to the Fixed Rate Mode;
provided, however, that in the Multiannual Mode the first rate period
occurring after conversion to such Mode may be shorter than the applicable
multiple of one year as provided in the Agreement.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, conversions to any other Mode may take
place only on the first Business Day of any calendar month upon thirty (30)
days' prior written notice from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER of
this bond.  Conversion of this bond to another Mode shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in the Agreement.  In the event that the conditions for
a proposed conversion to a new Mode are not met (i) such new Mode shall not
take effect on the proposed conversion date, notwithstanding any prior notice
to the Bondowners of such conversion, (ii) this bond shall automatically
convert to the Flexible Mode with a Rate Period of one day, and (iii) this
bond shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase as provided below.  In
no event shall the failure of this bond to be converted to another Mode be
deemed to be a Default or an Event of Default under the Agreement as long as
the Purchase Price (as defined below) is made available on the failed
conversion date to owners of all Bonds that were to have been converted.

When this bond is in the Weekly Mode, the Weekly Rate in effect for each Rate
Period (the "Effective Rate" for such Period) shall be determined not later
than the Business Day next preceding the Effective Date.  If the Remarketing
Agent fails to make such determination or fails to announce the Effective
Rate as required with respect to any Bonds in the Weekly Mode, or if for any
reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, the rate on such Bonds to take effect on that Effective Date
shall be the Weekly Rate in effect on the day preceding such date.  The
Remarketing Agent shall announce the Effective Rate by telephone to the
Paying Agent on the date of determination thereof, and shall promptly confirm
such notice in writing.  While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, any Bondowner
may ascertain the Effective Rate at any time by contacting the Paying Agent
or the Remarketing Agent.

Each determination and redetermination of the Weekly Rate shall be conclusive
and binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Bank, the
Company and the Bondowners.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as appropriate, and actual days elapsed.
From and after the date on which this bond becomes due, any unpaid principal
will bear interest at the then effective interest rate until paid or duly
provided for.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode the principal of this bond is payable
when due by wire or bank transfer of immediately available funds within the
continental United States to the REGISTERED OWNER hereof but only upon
presentation and surrender of this bond at the office of Security Pacific
National Trust Company (New York) New York, New York, as Paying Agent, (with
its successors in such capacity, the "Paying Agent").  Interest on this bond
while in the Weekly Mode is payable in immediately available funds by wire or
bank transfer within the continental United States from the Paying Agent to
the REGISTERED OWNER, determined as of the close of business on the
applicable record date, at its address as shown on the registration books
maintained by the Paying Agent.  The Purchase Price (as defined below) of
Bonds tendered for purchase shall be paid as provided below.

The record date for payment of interest while this bond is in the Weekly Mode
is the Business Day preceding the date on which interest is to be paid.  With
respect to overdue interest or interest payable on redemption of this bond
other than on an INTEREST PAYMENT DATE or interest on any overdue amount, the
Trustee may establish a special record date.  The special record date may be
not more than thirty (30) days before the date set for payment.  The Paying
Agent will mail notice of a special record date to the Bondowners at least
ten (10) days before the special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly
certify to the Authority, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent that it has
mailed such notice to all Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive
evidence that notice was given in the manner required hereby.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, the REGISTERED OWNER shall have the
right to tender this bond for purchase in multiples of $100,000 at a price
(the "Purchase Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued interest, if any, to the Purchase Date, upon compliance with the
conditions described below, provided that if the Purchase Date is an INTEREST
PAYMENT DATE, accrued interest shall be paid separately, and not as part of
the Purchase Price on such date.  In order to exercise the right to tender,
the REGISTERED OWNER must deliver to the Paying Agent a written irrevocable
notice of tender substantially in the form of the Bondowner's Election Notice
set forth hereon and satisfactory to the Paying Agent.  While this bond is in
the Weekly Mode, it will be purchased on the Business Day specified in such
Bondowner's Election Notice, provided such date is at least seven calendar
days after receipt by the Paying Agent of such notice.  If the REGISTERED
OWNER of this bond has elected to require purchase as provided above, the
REGISTERED OWNER shall be deemed, by such election, to have agreed
irrevocably to sell this bond to any purchaser determined in accordance with
the provisions of the Agreement on the date fixed for purchase at the
Purchase Price.

Tender of this bond will not be effective and this bond will not be purchased
if at the time fixed for purchase an acceleration of the maturity of the
Bonds shall have occurred and not have been annulled in accordance with the
Agreement.  Notice of tender of this bond is irrevocable.  All notices of
tender of Bonds shall be made to the Paying Agent at _____________________,
New York, New York, or such other address specified in writing by the Paying
Agent to the Bondowners.  All deliveries of tendered Bonds, including
deliveries of Bonds subject to mandatory tender, shall be made to the Paying
Agent at            , New York, New York, Attention:              , or
such other address specified in writing by the Paying Agent to the
Bondowners.

This bond is subject to mandatory tender for purchase at the Purchase Price
(i) on the date of conversion or proposed conversion from one Mode to another
Mode and (ii) on (a) the effective date of a substitute Credit Facility if
such substitution would result in a withdrawal or reduction (excluding a
withdrawal or reduction resulting from a change in Modes) of the rating of
this bond, if any, by either Moody's or S&P or (b) a date that is not more
than fifteen (15) or less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration or
termination of the Credit Facility other than upon conversion to a new Mode.
Notice of mandatory tender shall be given or caused to be given by the
Trustee in writing to the REGISTERED OWNER at least thirty (30) days prior to
the mandatory Purchase Date.  THE OWNER OF THIS BOND, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF,
AGREES TO SELL AND SURRENDER THIS BOND AT SUCH PRICE TO ANY PURCHASER
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT IN THE EVENT OF
SUCH MANDATORY TENDER AND, ON SUCH PURCHASE DATE, TO SURRENDER THIS BOND TO
THE PAYING AGENT FOR PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.  From and after the
Purchase Date, no further interest on this bond shall be payable to the
REGISTERED OWNER, provided that there are sufficient funds available on the
Effective Date to pay the Purchase Price.

The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid to the REGISTERED OWNER by the
Paying Agent on the Delivery Date, which shall be the Purchase Date or any
subsequent Business Day on which this bond is delivered to the Paying Agent.
The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid only upon surrender of this
bond to the Paying Agent as provided herein.  From and after the Purchase
Date, no further interest on this bond shall be payable to the REGISTERED
OWNER who gave notice of tender for purchase, provided that there are
sufficient funds available on the Purchase Date to pay the Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price of Bonds tendered for purchase is payable for Bonds in the
Weekly Mode by wire or bank transfer within the continental United States in
immediately available funds from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER at
its address shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.
If on any date this bond is subject to mandatory tender for purchase or is
required to be purchased at the election of the REGISTERED OWNER, payment of
the Purchase Price of this bond to such owner shall be made on the Purchase
Date if presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on the Purchase Date or on such later Business Day upon
which presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time.

Bonds in the Weekly Mode are subject to redemption in whole or in part at the
direction of the Company on any INTEREST PAYMENT DATE at a redemption price
of par plus accrued interest.

If less than all of the Outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption,
the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as provided
in the Agreement with Bonds in the Weekly Mode being redeemed in units of
$100,000.

In the event this bond is selected for redemption, notice will be mailed no
more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the
registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.  Failure to mail notice to
the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to such an owner
shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

If this bond is of a denomination in excess of one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), portions of the principal amount in the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000) or any multiple thereof may be redeemed.  If less
than all of the principal amount is to be redeemed, upon surrender of this
bond to the Paying Agent, there will be issued to the REGISTERED OWNER,
without charge, a new Bond or Bonds, at the option of the REGISTERED OWNER,
for the unredeemed principal amount.

Notice of redemption having been duly mailed, this bond, or the portion
called for redemption, will become due and payable on the redemption date at
the applicable redemption price and, moneys for the redemption having been
deposited with the Paying Agent, from and after the date fixed for
redemption, interest on this bond (or such portion) will no longer accrue.

IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES SET OUT HEREIN, THIS BOND (OR PORTION HEREOF) IS
SUBJECT TO PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION, IN EACH CASE UPON NOTICE TO OR FROM THE
OWNER HEREOF AS OF A DATE PRIOR TO SUCH PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION.  IN EACH SUCH
EVENT AND UPON DEPOSIT OF THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION PRICE WITH THE PAYING
AGENT ON THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION DATE, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THIS BOND (OR
PORTION HEREOF) SHALL CEASE TO BE OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST
HEREON SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION DATE, AND THE
REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO RECEIVE THE PURCHASE OR
REDEMPTION PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE PAYING AGENT UPON SURRENDER OF THIS
CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount without transfer to a new registered owner.
Exchanges and transfers will be without expense to the owner except for
applicable taxes or other governmental charges, if any.  The Paying Agent
will not be required to make an exchange or transfer of this bond (except in
connection with any optional or mandatory tender of this bond) (i) if this
bond (or any portion thereof) has been selected for redemption or (ii) during
the fifteen (15) days preceding any date fixed for selection for redemption
if this bond (or any portion thereof) is eligible to be selected for
redemption.

The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form and while in the Weekly
Mode shall be in denominations of $100,000 or any multiple thereof.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or its duly appointed agent for such purpose.

REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS BOND ON THE BACK, WHICH

THIS BOND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
OR OF THE AUTHORITY EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW HAMPSHIRE RSA
CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Industrial Development Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received, promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest from the most
recent INTEREST PAYMENT DATE to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF THIS BOND set forth
above, until paid in full, at the rates set forth below, payable on each
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE.  Until conversion to the Flexible, Weekly or Fixed
Rate as provided below, this bond shall bear interest at the Multiannual
Rate.  The Multiannual Rate shall be the rate of interest determined by the
Remarketing Agent designated as provided in the Agreement (herein, with its
successors, the "Remarketing Agent"), for each Rate Period, as defined below,
to be the lowest rate which in its judgment, on the basis of prevailing
financial market conditions, would permit the sale of the Bonds (as defined
below) with the same Rate Period at par plus accrued interest on and as of
the Effective Date, as defined below, but if the Bonds are supported by a
Credit Facility (as defined below) not in excess of the Maximum Interest
Rate.  If this bond is converted to the Flexible, Weekly, or Fixed Rate Mode
it shall bear interest at the Flexible, Weekly or Fixed Rate, as the case may
be, as defined in the Agreement.  The Remarketing Agent shall determine the
initial Multiannual Rate on or before the date of issue in or of conversion
to the Multiannual Mode, which rate shall remain in effect as provided in the
Agreement.  Thereafter, the Remarketing Agent shall redetermine the
Multiannual Rate for each Rate Period as provided below.  If any payment,
redemption or maturity date for principal, premium or interest shall not be a
Business Day, then the payment thereof may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the specified
payment date and no interest shall accrue for the period after the specified
payment date.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds (Public
Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991 Taxable Series D) (the
"Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $114,500,000 issued under New
Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are being
loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a New
Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1991 among the Company, the Authority and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations, if
any, under the Reimbursement Agreement, (as defined [below] [in the
Agreement]), the Company has issued and delivered to the Trustee its First
Mortgage Bonds, Series F (the "Series F First Mortgage Bonds") issued under
the First Mortgage Indenture dated as of August 15, 1978, as amended, and the
Tenth Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of May 1, 1991 between the
Company and First Fidelity Bank, National Association, New Jersey, as Trustee
(as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "First Mortgage Bond
Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount, and with an interest rate,
maturity date and redemption provisions corresponding to those of the Bonds.
As provided in the Agreement, payments of principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on the Series F First Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the
Trustee, be deemed to constitute payments in corresponding amounts by the
Company in respect of the Bonds.  Reference is hereby made to the Agreement
for the provisions thereof with respect to the rights, limitations of rights,
duties, obligations and immunities of the Company, the Authority, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Bondowners, including the order of
payments in the event of insufficient funds, the disposition of unclaimed
moneys held by the Trustee and restrictions on the rights of owners of the
Bonds to bring suit.  The Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the
manner provided therein.  Copies of the Agreement are available for
inspection at the corporate trust office of the Trustee.

[Modify as appropriate; delete if bond is not supported by a Credit Facility:
The Purchase Price (as defined below) and principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this bond while it is in the Multiannual Mode is also payable
from moneys drawn by the Paying Agent on an irrevocable letter of credit for
the Bonds (together with any extensions and renewals thereof, the "Letter of
Credit") issued by                       pursuant to the terms of a
Reimbursement Agreement dated as of            ,     (the "Reimbursement
Agreement") by and between the Company and              (together with
any other issuer of a Credit Facility, the "Bank").  The Paying Agent may
draw on the Letter of Credit presently in place for the payment of up to 190
days' interest for Bonds in the Multiannual Mode.  The Letter of Credit
initially expires on                  ,    but may be terminated earlier upon
the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Agreement and the
Reimbursement Agreement or extended as provided in the Reimbursement
Agreement.  Unless the Letter of Credit is extended or renewed or a
substitute letter of credit (collectively with the Letter of Credit, a
"Credit Facility") is provided in accordance with the Agreement, the Bonds
will become subject to mandatory purchase as described below.  The Company
may substitute a new Credit Facility as provided in the Agreement.]

In case any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount
of this bond together with accrued interest may become or be declared
immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this bond shall
have the meaning given them in the Agreement.  The following terms are
defined as follows:

"Business Day" means a day (i) that is not a Sunday or legal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close, (ii)
that is not a day on which the corporate trust office of the First Mortgage
Bond Trustee is not open for business, (iii) that is a day on which banks are
not required or authorized to close in New York, New York, and (iv) that is a
day on which banking institutions in all of the cities in which the principal
offices of the Trustee and the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the
Remarketing Agent and the Bank are located are not required or authorized to
remain closed and on which the New York Stock Exchange is not closed.

"Effective Date" means, with respect to a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly and
Multiannual Modes, the date on which a new Rate Period for that Bond takes
effect.

"Mode" means the period for and the manner in which the interest rates on the
Bonds are set and includes the Flexible Mode, the Weekly Mode, the
Multiannual Mode and the Fixed Rate Mode.

"Purchase Date" means, while this bond is in a Multiannual Mode, the date on
which this bond shall be required to be purchased pursuant to a mandatory
tender in accordance with the provisions hereof.

"Rate Period" or "Period" means, when used with respect to any particular
rate of interest for a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly or Multiannual Mode, the
period during which such rate of interest determined for such Bond will
remain in effect as described herein.

At the option of the Company and upon certain conditions provided for in the
Agreement described below, all or a portion of the Bonds (a) may be converted
or reconverted from time to time to or from the Weekly Mode or Multiannual
Mode, which means that the Rate Period is, respectively, one week or one year
or any multiple of one year, (b) may be converted or reconverted from time to
time to or from the Flexible Mode, and will have Rate Periods of from one to
270 days as provided herein, or (c) may be converted to the Fixed Rate Mode;
provided, however, that in the Multiannual Mode the first rate period
occurring after conversion to such Mode may be shorter or longer than the
applicable multiple of one year as provided in the Agreement.  While this
bond is in the Multiannual Mode, a new interest rate shall take effect on the
date such Mode takes effect and thereafter on the INTEREST PAYMENT DATE
ending the Rate Period designated by the Company.

While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, conversions to any other Mode, or
conversions to new Rate Periods of the same or different lengths while in the
Multiannual Mode, may take place only on a date which would have been an
Effective Date for this bond, or if conversion is to the Flexible or Weekly
Mode and such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter.
Conversion of this bond to another Mode, or to a new Rate Period in the
Multiannual Mode of the same or a different length, shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in the Agreement.  In the event that the conditions for
a proposed conversion to a new Mode, or to a new Rate Period in the
Multiannual Mode of the same or different length, are not met (i) such new
Mode or Rate Period shall not take effect on the proposed conversion date,
notwithstanding any prior notice to the Bondowners of such conversion and
(ii) this bond shall automatically convert to the Flexible Mode with a Rate
Period of one day.  In no event shall the failure of this bond to be
converted to another Mode or Rate Period be deemed to be a Default or an
Event of Default under the Agreement as long as the Purchase Price (as
defined below) is made available on the failed conversion date to owners of
all Bonds that were to have been converted.

When this bond is in any Multiannual Mode, the Multiannual Rate in effect for
each Rate Period (the "Effective Rate" for such Period) shall be determined
not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.  If the
Remarketing Agent fails to make such determination or fails to announce the
Effective Rate as required with respect to any Bonds in the Multiannual Mode,
or if for any reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, the rate to take effect on any Effective Date shall
be automatically converted to the Flexible Mode with a Rate Period of one
day.  The Remarketing Agent shall announce the Effective Rate by telephone to
the Paying Agent on the date of determination thereof, and shall promptly
confirm such notice in writing.

Each determination and redetermination of the Multiannual Rate shall be
conclusive and binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Company, the Bondowners and, if applicable, the Bank.

While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  From and after
the date on which this bond becomes due, any unpaid principal will bear
interest at the then effective interest rate until paid or duly provided for.
While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, the principal of and premium, if
any, on this bond are payable when due by check or draft in clearinghouse
funds to the REGISTERED OWNER hereof but only upon presentation and surrender
of this bond at the office of Security Pacific National Trust Company (New
York), New York, New York, as Paying Agent, (with its successors in such
capacity, the "Paying Agent").  Interest on this bond while in the
Multiannual Mode is payable by check or draft in clearinghouse funds mailed
on the applicable payment date by the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER,
determined as of the close of business on the applicable record date, at its
address as shown on the registration books.  The Purchase Price (as defined
below) of Bonds tendered for purchase shall be paid as provided below.

The record date for payment of interest while this bond is in the Multiannual
Mode is the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the date on
which the interest is to be paid, provided that with respect to overdue
interest or interest payable on redemption of this bond other than on an
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE or interest on any overdue amount, the Trustee may
establish a special record date.  The special record date may be not more
than thirty (30) days before the date set for payment.  The Paying Agent will
mail notice of a special record date to the Bondowners at least ten (10) days
before the special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly certify to
the Authority, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent that it has mailed such
notice to all Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive evidence
that notice was given in the manner required hereby.

While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, this bond is subject to mandatory
tender for purchase at a price (the "Purchase Price") equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, on each Effective
Date.  THE OWNER OF THIS BOND, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO SELL AND
SURRENDER THIS BOND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT AND,
ON THE PURCHASE DATE, TO SURRENDER THIS BOND TO THE PAYING AGENT FOR PAYMENT
OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.  UPON DEPOSIT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE WITH THE PAYING
AGENT ON THE PURCHASE DATE, THIS BOND SHALL BE DEEMED TENDERED FOR PURCHASE
AND SHALL CEASE TO BE OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST HEREON SHALL
CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF THE PURCHASE DATE, AND THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF
SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO RECEIVE THE PURCHASE PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE
PAYING AGENT UPON SURRENDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.  All
deliveries of tendered Bonds, including deliveries of Bonds subject to
mandatory tender, shall be made to the Paying Agent at              , New
York, New York, Attention:              , or such other address specified
in writing by the Paying Agent to the Bondowners.

The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid to the REGISTERED OWNER by the
Paying Agent on the Delivery Date, which shall be the Purchase Date or any
subsequent Business Day on which this bond is delivered to the Paying Agent.
The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid only upon surrender of this
bond to the Paying Agent as provided herein.  From and after the Purchase
Date, no further interest on this bond shall be payable to the REGISTERED
OWNER who gave notice of tender for purchase, provided that there are
sufficient funds available on the Purchase Date to pay the Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price of Bonds tendered for purchase is payable for Bonds in the
Multiannual Mode by check or draft in clearinghouse funds from the Paying
Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the registration books
maintained by the Paying Agent.  If on any date this bond is subject to
mandatory tender for purchase, payment of the Purchase Price of this bond to
such owner shall be made on the Purchase Date if presentation and surrender
of this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Purchase
Date or on such later Business Day upon which presentation and surrender of
this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time.

In the Multiannual Mode and after the expiration of the applicable No Call
Period (measured from the COMMENCEMENT DATE OF RATE PERIOD) set forth in the
following schedule, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the direction
of the Company in whole or in part at any time at the following redemption
prices expressed as a percentage of the principal amount redeemed, plus
interest accrued to the redemption date:

[No call periods and redemption prices are to be determined by the Company
upon conversion to the Multiannual Mode or change of Rate Period within the
Multiannual Mode, except that upon the issuance of a series of Tax-Exempt
Refunding Bonds all redemption terms for such series of Bonds shall be
fixed.]

Bonds not subject to optional redemption

In addition, at the option of the Company, the Bonds in the Multiannual Mode
are subject to redemption prior to maturity as a whole at any time at 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date,
within nine (9) months of the occurrence of certain extraordinary events
consisting of (a) damage or destruction, or loss of title by eminent domain,
to the Station or the Project Facilities, (b) changes in law affecting the
enforceability of the Agreement or imposing unreasonable burdens or excessive
liabilities on the Company relating to the Station or the Project Facilities
or their operation, (c) the enjoining or prohibiting of the operation of the
Station or the Project Facilities, or (d) changes in the economic
availability of fuel, materials, supplies, labor, equipment or other
properties or things rendering the continued operation of the Station
uneconomical, all as more fully described in the Agreement.  The Company's
right to direct the redemption of the Bonds in the Multiannual Mode upon the
occurrence of any event listed above shall expire six (6) months after such
event occurs.

If less than all of the outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption,
the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as provided
in the Agreement with Bonds in the Multiannual Mode being redeemed in units
of $5,000.

In the event this bond is selected for redemption, notice will be mailed no
more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the
registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.  Failure to mail notice to
the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to such an owner
shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

If this bond is of a denomination in excess of five thousand dollars
($5,000), portions of the principal amount in the amount of five thousand
dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof may be redeemed.  If less than all
of the principal amount is to be redeemed, upon surrender of this bond to the
Paying Agent, there will be issued to the REGISTERED OWNER, without charge, a
new Bond or Bonds, at the option of the REGISTERED OWNER, for the unredeemed
principal amount.

Notice of redemption having been duly mailed, this bond, or the portion
called for redemption, will become due and payable on the redemption date at
the applicable redemption price and, moneys for the redemption having been
deposited with the Paying Agent, from and after the date fixed for
redemption, interest on this bond (or such portion) will no longer accrue.

IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES SET OUT HEREIN, THIS BOND (OR PORTION HEREOF) IS
SUBJECT TO PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION.  IN EACH SUCH EVENT AND UPON DEPOSIT OF
THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION PRICE WITH THE PAYING AGENT ON THE PURCHASE OR
REDEMPTION DATE, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THIS BOND (OR PORTION HEREOF) SHALL
CEASE TO BE DEEMED TO BE OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST HEREON
SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION DATE, AND THE
REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO RECEIVE THE PURCHASE OR
REDEMPTION PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE PAYING AGENT ONLY UPON SURRENDER OF
THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount without transfer to a new registered owner.
Exchanges and transfers will be without expense to the owner except for
applicable taxes or other governmental charges, if any.  The Paying Agent
will not be required to make an exchange or transfer of this bond (except in
connection with any optional or mandatory tender of this bond) (i) if this
bond (or any portion thereof) has been selected for redemption or (ii) during
the fifteen (15) days preceding any date fixed for selection for redemption
if this bond (or any portion thereof) is eligible to be selected for
redemption.

The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of five
thousand dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or its duly appointed agent for such purpose.

REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS BOND ON THE BACK, WHICH
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH HERE.

CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Industrial Development Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) from the most
recent INTEREST PAYMENT DATE to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF THIS BOND, at the
INTEREST RATE per annum, payable semiannually on the INTEREST PAYMENT DATES,
until the date on which this bond becomes due, whether at maturity or by
acceleration or redemption.  From and after that date, any unpaid principal
will bear interest at the same rate until paid or duly provided for.  The
principal and premium, if any, of this bond is payable in clearinghouse funds
at the office of                           , as Paying Agent (with its
successors, the "Paying Agent").  Interest is payable by check or draft in
clearinghouse funds mailed by the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER of
this bond (or of one or more predecessor or successor Bonds (as defined
below)), determined as of the close of business on the applicable record
date, at its address as shown on the registration books maintained by the
Paying Agent.  If any payment, redemption or maturity date for principal,
premium or interest shall be (i) a Sunday or a legal holiday, or (ii) a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close and on
which the corporate trust office of the Trustee or the First Mortgage Bond
Trustee is not open for business, then the payment thereof may be made on the
next succeeding day not a day specified in (i) or (ii) with the same force
and effect as if made on the specified payment date and no interest shall
accrue for the period after the specified payment date.

The record date for payment of interest is the fifteenth day of the month
preceding the date on which the interest is to be paid, provided that, with
respect to overdue interest or interest payable on redemption of this bond
other than on an INTEREST PAYMENT DATE or interest on any overdue amount, the
Trustee (as defined below) may establish a special record date.  The special
record date may be not more than thirty (30) days before the date set for
payment.  The Paying Agent will mail notice of a special record date to the
registered owners of the Bonds (the "Bondowners") at least ten (10) days
before the special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly certify to
the Authority and the Trustee that it has mailed such notice to all
Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive evidence that such notice
was given in the manner required hereby.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds (Public
Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991 Taxable Series D) (the
"Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $114,500,000 issued under New
Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are being
loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a New
Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1991 among the Company, the Authority and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations, if
any, under the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined in the Agreement), the
Company has issued and delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds,
Series F (the "Series F First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First
Mortgage Indenture dated as of August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company
and First Fidelity Bank, National Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as
amended and supplemented from time to time, the "First Mortgage Bond
Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount, and with an interest rate,
maturity date and redemption provisions corresponding to those of the Bonds.
As provided in the Agreement, payments of principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on the Series F First Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the
Trustee, be deemed to constitute payments in corresponding amounts by the
Company in respect of the Bonds.  Reference is hereby made to the Agreement
for the provisions thereof with respect to the rights, limitations of rights,
duties, obligations and immunities of the Company, the Authority, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Bondowners, including the order of
payments in the event of insufficient funds, the disposition of unclaimed
moneys held by the Trustee and restrictions on the rights of owners of the
Bonds to bring suit.  The Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the
manner provided therein.  Copies of the Agreement are available for
inspection at the corporate trust office of the Trustee.

In case any Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) occurs and is
continuing, the principal amount of this bond together with accrued interest
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in
the Agreement.

The Bonds are redeemable pursuant to the Agreement prior to maturity
beginning on       ,     , at the option of the Authority by direction of
the Company, as a whole or in part at any time, at the following prices
expressed in percentages of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to
the redemption date:

Period During Which Redeemed                      Redemption Price

%

[Table to be prepared upon Fixed Rate conversion.  For Tax-Exempt Refunding
Bonds, the table shall be based on redemption schedule established for the
bond in the Multiannual Mode.]

In addition, at the option of the Company, this bond is subject to redemption
prior to maturity at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest to the redemption date within nine (9) months of the occurrence of
certain extraordinary events consisting of (a) damage or destruction, or loss
of title by eminent domain, to the Station or the Project Facilities, (b)
changes in law affecting the enforceability of the Agreement or imposing
unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities on the Company relating to the
Station or the Project Facilities or their operation, (c) the enjoining or
prohibiting of the operation of the Station or the Project Facilities, or (d)
changes in the economic availability of fuel, materials, supplies, labor,
equipment or other properties or things rendering the continued operation of
the Station uneconomical, all as more fully described in the Agreement.  The
Company's right to direct the redemption of this bond upon the occurrence of
any event listed above shall expire six (6) months after such event occurs.

If less than all of the outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption,
the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as provided
in the Agreement.

In the event this bond is selected for redemption, notice will be mailed no
more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the
registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.  Failure to mail notice to
the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to such an owner
shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

If this bond is of a denomination in excess of five thousand dollars
($5,000), portions of the principal amount in the amount of five thousand
dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof may be redeemed.  If less than all
of the principal amount is to be redeemed, upon surrender of this bond to the
Paying Agent, there will be issued to the REGISTERED OWNER, without charge, a
new Bond or Bonds, at the option of the REGISTERED OWNER, for the unredeemed
principal amount.

Notice of redemption having been duly mailed, this bond, or the portion
called for redemption, will become due and payable on the redemption date at
the applicable redemption price and, moneys for the redemption having been
deposited with the Paying Agent, from and after the date fixed for
redemption, interest on this bond (or such portion) will no longer accrue.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this Bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount without
transfer to a new registered owner.  Exchanges and transfers will be without
expense to the holder except for applicable taxes or other governmental
charges, if any.  The Paying Agent will not be required to make an exchange
or transfer of this bond during the fifteen (15) days preceding any date
fixed for selection for redemption if this bond (or any part thereof) is
eligible to be selected or has been selected for the redemption.

This bond is issuable only in fully registered form in the denominations of
five thousand dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or its duly appointed agent for such purpose.

CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received, promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest from the most
recent Interest Payment Date, as defined below, to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF
THIS BOND set forth above, until paid in full, at the rates set forth below,
payable on each Interest Payment Date.  So long as this bond is in the
Flexible Mode, interest shall be due on this bond on each Purchase Date (as
defined below) and on the MATURITY DATE, and when this bond is in any other
Mode interest shall be due on the dates provided in the Agreement (the
"Interest Payment Dates").  Until conversion to the Weekly, Multiannual or
Fixed Rate Mode as provided below, this bond shall bear interest at the
Flexible Rate.  The Flexible Rate for this bond shall be the rate of interest
determined by the Remarketing Agent designated as provided in the Agreement
(herein, with its successors, the "Remarketing Agent"), for each Rate Period,
as defined below, to be the lowest rate which in its judgment, on the basis
of prevailing financial market conditions, is necessary on and as of the
Effective Date, as defined below, to remarket each Bond having such Rate
Period in a secondary market transaction at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, but not in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate.  If this bond
is converted to the Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode it shall bear
interest at the Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate, as the case may be, as
defined in the Agreement.  The Remarketing Agent shall determine the initial
Flexible Rate on or before the date of issue in or of conversion to the
Flexible Mode, which rate shall remain in effect as provided in the
Agreement.  Thereafter, the Remarketing Agent shall redetermine the Flexible
Rate for each Rate Period as provided below.  The amount of interest due on
any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of unpaid interest accrued on
this bond through the day preceding such Interest Payment Date or, if such
Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, through the day preceding the
first Business Day succeeding such Interest Payment Date.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Refunding Revenue Bonds
(Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1992 Tax-Exempt Series D)
(the "Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 issued under
New Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are
being loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a
New Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement
dated as of May 1, 1991, as supplemented and amended by a First Supplement
dated as of December 1, 1992 (the "Agreement") among the Company, the
Authority and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee")
to refund a like principal amount of the Authority's $114,500,000 Pollution
Control Revenue Bonds (Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991
Taxable Series D) (the "1991 Bonds"), which were originally issued to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No.1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations under
the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below), the Company has issued and
delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds, Series F (the "Series F
First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First Mortgage Indenture dated as of
August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture thereto
dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company and First Fidelity Bank, National
Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to
time, the "First Mortgage Bond Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount,
and with an interest rate, maturity date and redemption provisions
corresponding to those of the Bonds and certain other bonds issued under the
Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.  As provided in the Agreement, payments
of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the Trustee, be deemed to constitute
payments in corresponding amounts by the Company in respect of the Bonds and
certain other bonds issued under the Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.
Reference is hereby made to the Agreement for the provisions thereof with
respect to the rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and
immunities of the Company, the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and
the Bondowners, including the order of payments in the event of insufficient
funds, the disposition of unclaimed moneys held by the Trustee and
restrictions on the rights of owners of the Bonds to bring suit.  The
Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the manner provided therein.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee.

The Purchase Price (as defined below) and principal of and interest on this
bond while it is in the Flexible Mode is also payable from moneys drawn by
the Paying Agent on an irrevocable letter of credit for the Bonds and certain
other bonds issued under the Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds (together
with any extensions, amendments and renewals thereof, the "Letter of
Credit"), issued by                , pursuant to the terms of a
Reimbursement Agreement dated as of                 (the "Reimbursement
Agreement") by and between the Company and
(together with any other issuer of a Credit Facility, the "Bank").  The
Letter of Credit initially expires on              but may be terminated
earlier upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Agreement and
the Reimbursement Agreement or extended as provided in the Reimbursement
Agreement.  The Company may substitute the Letter of Credit in whole or in
part with one or more new letters of credit (collectively with the Letter of
Credit, a "Credit Facility") as provided in the Agreement and the
Reimbursement Agreement.  The Company may substitute a new Credit Facility as
provided in the Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this bond shall
have the meaning given them in the Agreement.  The following terms are
defined as follows:

"Business Day" means a day (i) that is not a Sunday or legal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close, (ii)
that is not a day on which the corporate trust office of the First Mortgage
Bond Trustee is not open for business, (iii) that is a day on which banks are
not required or authorized to close in New York, New York, and (iv) that is a
day on which banking institutions in all of the cities in which the principal
offices of the Trustee and the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the
Remarketing Agent and the Bank are located are not required or authorized to
remain closed and on which the New York Stock Exchange is not closed.

"Effective Date" means, with respect to a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly and
Multiannual Modes, the date on which a new Rate Period for that Bond takes
effect.

"Mode" means the period for and the manner in which the interest rates on the
Bonds are set and includes the Flexible Mode, the Weekly Mode, the
Multiannual Mode and the Fixed Rate Mode.

"Purchase Date" means, while this bond is in the Flexible Mode, the date on
which this bond shall be required to be purchased pursuant to a mandatory
tender in accordance with the provisions hereof.

"Rate Period" or "Period" means, when used with respect to any particular
rate of interest for a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly or Multiannual Mode, the
period during which such rate of interest determined for such Bond will
remain in effect as described herein.

At the option of the Company and upon certain conditions provided for in the
Agreement described below, all or a portion of the Bonds (a) may be converted
or reconverted from time to time to or from the Weekly Mode or Multiannual
Mode, which means that the Rate Period is, respectively, one week or one year
or any multiple of one year, (b) may be converted or reconverted from time to
time to or from the Flexible Mode, and will have Rate Periods of from one to
270 days as provided herein, or (c) may be converted to the Fixed Rate Mode;
provided, however, that in the Multiannual Mode the first rate period
occurring after conversion to such Mode may be shorter than the applicable
multiple of one year as provided in the Agreement.  While this bond is in the
Flexible Mode, a new interest rate shall take effect on the date such Mode
takes effect, and on the Effective Date of the next Flexible Rate Period, as
defined herein, applicable to this bond.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, conversions to any other Mode may
take place only on an Effective Date.  Conversion of this bond to another
Mode shall be subject to certain conditions set forth in the Agreement.  In
the event that the conditions for a proposed conversion to a new Mode are not
met (i) such new Mode shall not take effect on the proposed conversion date,
notwithstanding any prior notice to the Bondowners of such conversion and
(ii) this bond shall remain in the Flexible Mode with a Rate Period of one
day.  In no event shall the failure of this bond to be converted to another
Mode be deemed to be a Default or an Event of Default under the Agreement as
long as the Purchase Price (as defined below) is made available on the failed
conversion date to owners of all Bonds that were to have been converted.

While Bonds bear interest at Flexible Rates, the interest rate for each
particular Bond in the Flexible Mode will be determined by the Remarketing
Agent and will remain in effect from and including the Effective Date of the
Rate Period selected for that Bond by the Remarketing Agent through the last
date thereof.  While the Bonds are in the Flexible Mode, Bonds may have
successive Rate Periods of any duration up to 270 days each and ending on a
Business Day and any Bond may bear interest at a rate and for a period
different from any other Bond.

In the event that the Remarketing Agent no longer determines, or fails to
determine when required, any Rate Period or any Flexible Rate for any Bonds,
or if for any reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, the Rate Period for any such Bond shall be deemed
to be a Flexible Rate Period with a duration of one day and the Flexible Rate
shall be determined as provided in the Agreement.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode it is subject to mandatory tender for
purchase on each applicable Effective Date at a price (the "Purchase Price")
of par plus accrued interest to the Effective Date.  THE OWNER OF THIS BOND,
BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO SELL AND SURRENDER THIS BOND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT AND, ON THE PURCHASE DATE, TO SURRENDER
THIS BOND TO THE PAYING AGENT FOR PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.  UPON
DEPOSIT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE WITH THE PAYING AGENT ON THE PURCHASE DATE,
THIS BOND SHALL BE DEEMED TENDERED FOR PURCHASE AND SHALL CEASE TO BE
OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST HEREON SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF
THE PURCHASE DATE, AND THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO
RECEIVE THE PURCHASE PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE PAYING AGENT UPON SURRENDER
OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.  The Purchase Price shall be paid on
the Delivery Date, which shall be the Effective Date or any subsequent
Business Day on which this bond is delivered to the Paying Agent.  The
Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid only upon surrender of this bond to
the Paying Agent as provided herein.  From and after the Effective Date, no
further interest shall be payable to the REGISTERED OWNER during the
preceding Rate Period, provided that there are sufficient funds available on
the Effective Date to pay the Purchase Price.

Each determination and redetermination of the Flexible Rate shall be
conclusive and binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Bank, the Company and the Bondowners.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, interest shall be computed on the
basis of actual days elapsed divided by 365 or 366, as appropriate.  From and
after the date on which this bond becomes due, any unpaid principal will bear
interest at the then effective interest rate until paid or duly provided for.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, the principal of and interest on
this bond due on the MATURITY DATE are payable when due by wire or bank
transfer of immediately available funds within the continental United States
to the REGISTERED OWNER hereof but only upon presentation and surrender of
this bond at the offices of Security Pacific National Trust Company (New
York), New York, New York, as Paying Agent (with its successors in such
capacity, the "Paying Agent").  While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, the
Purchase Price of this bond (which includes accrued interest to the Purchase
Date) tendered for purchase is payable by wire or bank transfer within the
continental United States from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER at
its address shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.
Payment of the Purchase Price of this bond to such owner shall be made on the
Purchase Date if presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior to
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Purchase Date or on such later
Business Day upon which presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior
to 11:00 A.M., New York City time.  The Purchase Price of this bond shall be
paid in immediately available funds.  Overdue interest on this bond, or
interest on overdue principal while in the Flexible Mode is payable in
immediately available funds by wire or bank transfer within the continental
United States from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER, determined as of
the close of business on the applicable special record date as determined by
the Trustee, at its address as shown on the registration books maintained by
the Paying Agent.  The special record date may be not more than thirty (30)
days before the date set for payment.  The Paying Agent will mail notice of a
special record date to the Bondowners at least ten (10) days before the
special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly certify to the
Authority, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent that it has mailed such
notice to all Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive evidence
that notice was given in the manner required hereby.

The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption at any time at a redemption
price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds so redeemed plus accrued
interest in the event (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel selected by the Company and reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee ("Bond Counsel") stating that interest on the
Bonds is or will become includable in gross income of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes, or (ii) it is finally determined by the Internal
Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction, as a result of (A) a
proceeding in which the Company has participated or been given notice and an
opportunity to participate, and, (B) either (1) a failure by the Company (or
the Seabrook Transferee as defined in the Agreement) to observe any covenant
or agreement undertaken in or pursuant to the Agreement, or the inaccuracy of
any representation made by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) in or
pursuant to the Agreement, or (2) the Seabrook Transfer (as defined in the
Agreement), that interest payable on the Bonds is includable for federal
income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner thereof (other than an
owner which is a "substantial user" or a "related person" within the meaning
of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).  Any determination
under clause (ii) above will not be considered final for this purpose until
the earliest of the conclusion of any appellate review, the denial of
appellate review or the expiration of the period for seeking appellate
review.  Redemption under this paragraph shall be in whole unless not less
than forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date the Company delivers
to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee to the effect that a redemption of less than all of the Bonds will
preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding
subsequent to such redemption.  Except as provided in the next sentence, any
such redemption shall be made on the 90th day after the date on which the
opinion described in clause (i) is delivered or the determination described
in clause (ii) becomes final or on such earlier date as the Company may
designate by notice given to the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days prior
to such designated date.  Any Bond in the Flexible Mode that has a Purchase
Date prior to the redemption date established for that Bond pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be redeemed on that Purchase Date.  If such
redemption shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, then
such failure by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee as described above)
to observe such covenant or agreement, or the inaccuracy of any such
representation will not, in and of itself, constitute a default thereunder.

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Bondowner stating that (i)
such Bondowner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service
that it proposes to include the interest on the Bonds in the gross income of
such owner for federal income tax purposes, or any other proceeding has been
instituted against such owner which may lead to a like determination, and
(ii) such owner will afford the Company the opportunity to participate at its
own expense in the proceeding, either directly or in the name of such owner,
until the conclusion of any appellate review, and the Trustee has examined
such written notice and it appears to be accurate on its face, then the
Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the Authority, and
each Bondowner whose Bonds may be affected.  The Trustee shall thereafter
keep itself reasonably informed of the progress of any administrative
proceedings or litigation relating to such notice.  Under the Agreement the
Company is required to give the Trustee written notice of such a final
determination within forty-five (45) days of such final determination.

If the Purchase Date of this bond is after the redemption date, notice of
redemption of this bond will be given by first class mail, postage prepaid,
not more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its registered address.  Failure
to mail notice to the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to
such other owner shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount without transfer to a new registered owner.
Exchanges and transfers will be without expense to the owner except for
applicable taxes or other governmental charges, if any.

The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form and while in the
Flexible Mode shall be in denominations of $100,000 or any multiple of $1,000
in excess of $100,000.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS BOND ON THE BACK, WHICH
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH HERE.

THIS BOND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
OR OF THE AUTHORITY EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW HAMPSHIRE RSA
CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received, promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest from the most
recent INTEREST PAYMENT DATE to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF THIS BOND set forth
above, until paid in full, at the rates set forth below, payable on each
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE.  Until conversion to the Flexible, Multiannual or
Fixed Rate Mode as provided below, this bond shall bear interest at the
Weekly Rate.  The Weekly Rate for this bond shall be the rate of interest
determined by the Remarketing Agent designated as provided in the Agreement
(herein, with its successors, the "Remarketing Agent"), for each Rate Period,
as defined below, to be the lowest rate which in its judgment, on the basis
of prevailing financial market conditions, would permit the sale of the Bonds
(as defined below) in the Weekly Mode at par plus accrued interest on and as
of the Effective Date, as defined below, but not in excess of the Maximum
Interest Rate.  If this bond is converted to the Flexible, Multiannual or
Fixed Rate Mode it shall bear interest at the Flexible, Multiannual or Fixed
Rate, as the case may be, as defined in the Agreement.  The Remarketing Agent
shall determine the initial Weekly Rate on or before the date of issue in or
of conversion to the Weekly Mode, which rate shall remain in effect as
provided in the Agreement. Thereafter, the Remarketing Agent shall
redetermine the Weekly Rate for each Rate Period as provided below.  The
amount of interest due on any INTEREST PAYMENT DATE shall be the amount of
unpaid interest accrued on this bond through the day preceding such INTEREST
PAYMENT DATE.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Refunding Revenue Bonds
(Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1992 Tax-Exempt Series D)
(the "Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 issued under
New Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are
being loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a
New Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement
dated as of May 1, 1991, as supplemented and amended by a First Supplement
dated as of October 1, 1992 (the "Agreement") among the Company, the
Authority and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee")
to refund a like principal amount of the Authority's $114,500,000 Pollution
Control Revenue Bonds (Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991
Taxable Series D) (the "1991 Bonds"), which were originally issued to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations under
the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below), the Company has issued and
delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds, Series F (the "Series F
First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First Mortgage Indenture dated as of
August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture thereto
dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company and First Fidelity Bank, National
Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to
time, the "First Mortgage Bond Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount,
and with an interest rate, maturity date and redemption provisions
corresponding to those of the Bonds and certain other bonds issued under the
Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.  As provided in the Agreement, payments
of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the Trustee, be deemed to constitute
payments in corresponding amounts by the Company in respect of the Bonds and
certain other bonds issued under the Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.
Reference is hereby made to the Agreement for the provisions thereof with
respect to the rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and
immunities of the Company, the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and
the Bondowners, including the order of payments in the event of insufficient
funds, the disposition of unclaimed moneys held by the Trustee and
restrictions on the rights of owners of the Bonds to bring suit.  The
Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the manner provided therein.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee.

The Purchase Price (as defined below) and principal of and interest on this
bond while it is in the Weekly Mode is also payable from moneys drawn by the
Paying Agent on an irrevocable letter of credit for the Bonds and certain
other bonds issued under the Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds (together
with any extensions, amendments, and renewals thereof, the "Letter of
Credit"), issued by Barclays Bank PLC, acting through its New York Branch,
pursuant to the terms of a Series D Letter of Credit and Reimbursement
Agreement dated as of October 1, 1992 (the "Reimbursement Agreement") by and
among the Company, Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch (together with any
other issuer of a Credit Facility, the "Bank") and the participating banks
named therein.  The Paying Agent may draw on the Letter of Credit presently
in place for the payment of up to forty-five (45) days' interest for Bonds in
the Weekly Mode.  The Letter of Credit initially expires on October 1, 1995
but may be terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain events set forth
in the Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement or extended as provided in
the Reimbursement Agreement.  Unless the Letter of Credit is extended or
renewed or a substitute letter of credit (collectively with the Letter of
Credit, a "Credit Facility") is provided in accordance with the Agreement,
the Bonds will become subject to mandatory purchase as described below.  The
Company may substitute a new Credit Facility as provided in the Agreement.

In case any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount
of this bond together with accrued interest may become or be declared
immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this bond shall
have the meaning given them in the Agreement.  The following terms are
defined as follows:

"Business Day" means a day (i) that is not a Sunday or legal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close, (ii)
that is not a day on which the corporate trust office of the First Mortgage
Bond Trustee is not open for business, (iii) that is a day on which banks are
not required or authorized to close in New York, New York, and (iv) that is a
day on which banking institutions in all of the cities in which the principal
offices of the Trustee and the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the
Remarketing Agent and the Bank are located are not required or authorized to
remain closed and on which the New York Stock Exchange is not closed.

"Effective Date" means, with respect to a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly and
Multiannual Modes, the date on which a new Rate Period for that Bond takes
effect.

"Mode" means the period for and the manner in which the interest rates on the
Bonds are set and includes the Flexible Mode, the Weekly Mode, the
Multiannual Mode and the Fixed Rate Mode.

"Purchase Date" means, while this bond is in the Weekly Mode, the date on
which this bond shall be required to be purchased pursuant to a mandatory or
optional tender in accordance with the provisions hereof.

"Rate Period" or "Period" means, when used with respect to any particular
rate of interest for a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly or Multiannual Mode, the
period during which such rate of interest determined for such Bond will
remain in effect as described herein.  While this bond is in the Weekly Mode,
a new interest rate shall take effect on the date such Mode takes effect and
thereafter on each Wednesday.

At the option of the Company and upon certain conditions provided for in the
Agreement described below, all or a portion of the Bonds (a) may be converted
or reconverted from time to time to or from the Weekly Mode or Multiannual
Mode, which means that the Rate Period is, respectively, one week or one year
or any multiple of one year, (b) may be converted or reconverted from time to
time to or from the Flexible Mode, and will have Rate Periods of from one to
270 days as provided herein, or (c) may be converted to the Fixed Rate Mode;
provided, however, that in the Multiannual Mode the first rate period
occurring after conversion to such Mode may be shorter than the applicable
multiple of one year as provided in the Agreement.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, conversions to any other Mode may take
place only on the first Business Day of any calendar month upon thirty (30)
days' prior written notice from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER of
this bond.  Conversion of this bond to another Mode shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in the Agreement.  In the event that the conditions for
a proposed conversion to a new Mode are not met (i) such new Mode shall not
take effect on the proposed conversion date, notwithstanding any prior notice
to the Bondowners of such conversion, (ii) this bond shall automatically
convert to the Flexible Mode with a Rate Period of one day, and (iii) this
bond shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase as provided below.  In
no event shall the failure of this bond to be converted to another Mode be
deemed to be a Default or an Event of Default under the Agreement as long as
the Purchase Price (as defined below) is made available on the failed
conversion date to owners of all Bonds that were to have been converted.

When this bond is in the Weekly Mode, the Weekly Rate in effect for each Rate
Period (the "Effective Rate" for such Period) shall be determined not later
than the Business Day next preceding the Effective Date.  If the Remarketing
Agent fails to make such determination or fails to announce the Effective
Rate as required with respect to any Bonds in the Weekly Mode, or if for any
reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, the rate on such Bonds to take effect on that Effective Date
shall be the Weekly Rate in effect on the day preceding such date.  The
Remarketing Agent shall announce the Effective Rate by telephone to the
Paying Agent on the date of determination thereof, and shall promptly confirm
such notice in writing.  While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, any Bondowner
may ascertain the Effective Rate at any time by contacting the Paying Agent
or the Remarketing Agent.

Each determination and redetermination of the Weekly Rate shall be conclusive
and binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Bank, the
Company and the Bondowners.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as appropriate, and actual days elapsed.
From and after the date on which this bond becomes due, any unpaid principal
will bear interest at the then effective interest rate until paid or duly
provided for.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode the principal of this bond is payable
when due by wire or bank transfer of immediately available funds within the
continental United States to the REGISTERED OWNER hereof but only upon
presentation and surrender of this bond at the office of Security Pacific
National Trust Company (New York) New York, New York, as Paying Agent, (with
its successors in such capacity, the "Paying Agent").  Interest on this bond
while in the Weekly Mode is payable in immediately available funds by wire or
bank transfer within the continental United States from the Paying Agent to
the REGISTERED OWNER, determined as of the close of business on the
applicable record date, at its address as shown on the registration books
maintained by the Paying Agent.  The Purchase Price (as defined below) of
Bonds tendered for purchase shall be paid as provided below.

The record date for payment of interest while this bond is in the Weekly Mode
is the Business Day preceding the date on which interest is to be paid.  With
respect to overdue interest or interest payable on redemption of this bond
other than on an INTEREST PAYMENT DATE or interest on any overdue amount, the
Trustee may establish a special record date.  The special record date may be
not more than thirty (30) days before the date set for payment.  The Paying
Agent will mail notice of a special record date to the Bondowners at least
ten (10) days before the special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly
certify to the Authority, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent that it has
mailed such notice to all Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive
evidence that notice was given in the manner required hereby.

While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, the REGISTERED OWNER shall have the
right to tender this bond for purchase in multiples of $100,000 at a price
(the "Purchase Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued interest, if any, to the Purchase Date, upon compliance with the
conditions described below, provided that if the Purchase Date is an INTEREST
PAYMENT DATE, accrued interest shall be paid separately, and not as part of
the Purchase Price on such date.  In order to exercise the right to tender,
the REGISTERED OWNER must deliver to the Paying Agent a written irrevocable
notice of tender substantially in the form of the Bondowner's Election Notice
set forth hereon or such other form as may be satisfactory to the Paying
Agent.  While this bond is in the Weekly Mode, it will be purchased on the
Business Day specified in such Bondowner's Election Notice, provided such
date is at least seven calendar days after receipt by the Paying Agent of
such notice.  If the REGISTERED OWNER of this bond has elected to require
purchase as provided above, the REGISTERED OWNER shall be deemed, by such
election, to have agreed irrevocably to sell this bond to any purchaser
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement on the date
fixed for purchase at the Purchase Price.

Tender of this bond will not be effective and this bond will not be purchased
if at the time fixed for purchase an acceleration of the maturity of the
Bonds shall have occurred and not have been annulled in accordance with the
Agreement.  Notice of tender of this bond is irrevocable.  All notices of
tender of Bonds shall be made to the Paying Agent at 2 Rector Street, New
York, New York, or such other address specified in writing by the Paying
Agent to the Bondowners.  All deliveries of tendered Bonds, including
deliveries of Bonds subject to mandatory tender, shall be made to the Paying
Agent at 2 Rector Street, New York, New York, Attention: Corporate Trust
Department, or such other address specified in writing by the Paying Agent to
the Bondowners.

This bond is subject to mandatory tender for purchase at the Purchase Price
(i) on the date of conversion or proposed conversion from one Mode to another
Mode and (ii) on (a) the effective date of a substitute Credit Facility
unless the Trustee receives written evidence from Moody's (if this bond is
rated by Moody's) and S&P (if this bond is rated by S&P) that such
substitution will not result in a withdrawal or reduction (excluding a
withdrawal or reduction resulting from a change in Modes) of the rating of
this bond or (b) a date that is not more than fifteen (15) or less than ten
(10) days prior to the expiration or termination of the Credit Facility other
than upon conversion to a new Mode.  Notice of mandatory tender shall be
given or caused to be given by the Trustee in writing to the REGISTERED OWNER
at least thirty (30) days prior to the mandatory Purchase Date.  THE OWNER OF
THIS BOND, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO SELL AND SURRENDER THIS BOND AT
SUCH PRICE TO ANY PURCHASER DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF
THE AGREEMENT IN THE EVENT OF SUCH MANDATORY TENDER AND, ON SUCH PURCHASE
DATE, TO SURRENDER THIS BOND TO THE PAYING AGENT FOR PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE
PRICE.  From and after the Purchase Date, no further interest on this bond
shall be payable to the REGISTERED OWNER, provided that there are sufficient
funds available on the Effective Date to pay the Purchase Price.

The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid to the REGISTERED OWNER by the
Paying Agent on the Delivery Date, which shall be the Purchase Date or any
subsequent Business Day on which this bond is delivered to the Paying Agent.
The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid only upon surrender of this
bond to the Paying Agent as provided herein.  From and after the Purchase
Date, no further interest on this bond shall be payable to the REGISTERED
OWNER who gave notice of tender for purchase, provided that there are
sufficient funds available on the Purchase Date to pay the Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price of Bonds tendered for purchase is payable for Bonds in the
Weekly Mode by wire or bank transfer within the continental United States in
immediately available funds from the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER at
its address shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.
If on any date this bond is subject to mandatory tender for purchase or is
required to be purchased at the election of the REGISTERED OWNER, payment of
the Purchase Price of this bond to such owner shall be made on the Purchase
Date if presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on the Purchase Date or on such later Business Day upon
which presentation and surrender of this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time.

Bonds in the Weekly Mode are subject to redemption in whole or in part at the
direction of the Company on any INTEREST PAYMENT DATE at a redemption price
of par plus accrued interest.

The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption at any time at a redemption
price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds so redeemed plus accrued
interest in the event (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel selected by the Company and reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee ("Bond Counsel") stating that interest on the
Bonds is or will become includable in gross income of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes, or (ii) it is finally determined by the Internal
Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction, as a result of (A) a
proceeding in which the Company has participated or been given notice and an
opportunity to participate, and, (B) either (1) a failure by the Company (or
the Seabrook Transferee as defined in the Agreement) to observe any covenant
or agreement undertaken in or pursuant to the Agreement, or the inaccuracy of
any representation made by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) in or
pursuant to the Agreement, or (2) the Seabrook Transfer (as defined in the
Agreement), that interest payable on the Bonds is includable for federal
income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner thereof (other than an
owner which is a "substantial user" or a "related person" within the meaning
of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).  Any determination
under clause (ii) above will not be considered final for this purpose until
the earliest of the conclusion of any appellate review, the denial of
appellate review or the expiration of the period for seeking appellate
review.  Redemption under this paragraph shall be in whole unless not less
than forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date the Company delivers
to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee to the effect that a redemption of less than all of the Bonds will
preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding
subsequent to such redemption.  Except as provided in the next sentence, any
such redemption shall be made on the 90th day after the date on which the
opinion described in clause (i) is delivered or the determination described
in clause (ii) becomes final or on such earlier date as the Company may
designate by notice given to the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days prior
to such designated date.  Any Bond in the Flexible Mode that has a Purchase
Date prior to the redemption date established for that Bond pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be redeemed on that Purchase Date.  If such
redemption shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, then
such failure by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee as described above)
to observe such covenant or agreement, or the inaccuracy of any such
representation will not, in and of itself, constitute a default thereunder.

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Bondowner stating that (i)
such Bondowner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service
that it proposes to include the interest on the Bonds in the gross income of
such owner for federal income tax purposes, or any other proceeding has been
instituted against such owner which may lead to a like determination, and
(ii) such owner will afford the Company the opportunity to participate at its
own expense in the proceeding, either directly or in the name of such owner,
until the conclusion of any appellate review, and the Trustee has examined
such written notice and it appears to be accurate on its face, then the
Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the Authority, and
each Bondowner whose Bonds may be affected.  The Trustee shall thereafter
keep itself reasonably informed of the progress of any administrative
proceedings or litigation relating to such notice.  Under the Agreement the
Company is required to give the Trustee written notice of such a final
determination within forty-five (45) days of such final determination.

If less than all of the Outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption,
the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as provided
in the Agreement with Bonds in the Weekly Mode being redeemed in units of
$100,000.

In the event this bond is selected for redemption, notice will be mailed no
more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the
registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.  Failure to mail notice to
the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to such an owner
shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

If this bond is of a denomination in excess of one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), portions of the principal amount in the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000) or any multiple thereof may be redeemed.  If less
than all of the principal amount is to be redeemed, upon surrender of this
bond to the Paying Agent, there will be issued to the REGISTERED OWNER,
without charge, a new Bond or Bonds, at the option of the REGISTERED OWNER,
for the unredeemed principal amount.

Notice of redemption having been duly mailed, this bond, or the portion
called for redemption, will become due and payable on the redemption date at
the applicable redemption price and, moneys for the redemption having been
deposited with the Paying Agent, from and after the date fixed for
redemption, interest on this bond (or such portion) will no longer accrue.

IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES SET OUT HEREIN, THIS BOND (OR PORTION HEREOF) IS
SUBJECT TO PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION, IN EACH CASE UPON NOTICE TO OR FROM THE
OWNER HEREOF AS OF A DATE PRIOR TO SUCH PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION.  IN EACH SUCH
EVENT AND UPON DEPOSIT OF THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION PRICE WITH THE PAYING
AGENT ON THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION DATE, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THIS BOND (OR
PORTION HEREOF) SHALL CEASE TO BE OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST
HEREON SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION DATE, AND THE
REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO RECEIVE THE PURCHASE OR
REDEMPTION PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE PAYING AGENT UPON SURRENDER OF THIS
CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount without transfer to a new registered owner.
Exchanges and transfers will be without expense to the owner except for
applicable taxes or other governmental charges, if any.  The Paying Agent
will not be required to make an exchange or transfer of this bond (except in
connection with any optional or mandatory tender of this bond) (i) if this
bond (or any portion thereof) has been selected for redemption or (ii) during
the fifteen (15) days preceding any date fixed for selection for redemption
if this bond (or any portion thereof) is eligible to be selected for
redemption.

The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form and while in the Weekly
Mode shall be in denominations of $100,000 or any multiple thereof.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS BOND ON THE BACK, WHICH
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH HERE.

THIS BOND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
OR OF THE AUTHORITY EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW HAMPSHIRE RSA
CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received, promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest from the most
recent INTEREST PAYMENT DATE to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF THIS BOND set forth
above, until paid in full, at the rates set forth below, payable on each
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE.  Until conversion to the Flexible, Weekly or Fixed
Rate as provided below, this bond shall bear interest at the Multiannual
Rate.  The Multiannual Rate shall be the rate of interest determined by the
Remarketing Agent designated as provided in the Agreement (herein, with its
successors, the "Remarketing Agent"), for each Rate Period, as defined below,
to be the lowest rate which in its judgment, on the basis of prevailing
financial market conditions, would permit the sale of the Bonds (as defined
below) with the same Rate Period at par plus accrued interest on and as of
the Effective Date, as defined below.  If this bond is converted to the
Flexible, Weekly, or Fixed Rate Mode it shall bear interest at the Flexible,
Weekly or Fixed Rate, as the case may be, as defined in the Agreement.  The
Remarketing Agent shall determine the initial Multiannual Rate on or before
the date of issue in or of conversion to the Multiannual Mode, which rate
shall remain in effect as provided in the Agreement.  Thereafter, the
Remarketing Agent shall redetermine the Multiannual Rate for each Rate Period
as provided below.  If any payment, redemption or maturity date for
principal, premium or interest shall not be a Business Day, then the payment
thereof may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the specified payment date and no interest shall
accrue for the period after the specified payment date.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Refunding Revenue Bonds
(Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1992 Tax-Exempt Series D)
(the "Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 issued under
New Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are
being loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a
New Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement
dated as of May 1, 1991, as supplemented and amended by a First Supplement
dated as of December 1, 1992 (the "Agreement") among the Company, the
Authority and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee")
to refund a like principal amount of the Authority's $114,500,000 Pollution
Control Revenue Bonds (Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991
Taxable Series D) (the "1991 Bonds"), which were originally issued to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations, if
any, under the Reimbursement Agreement, (as defined in the Agreement), the
Company has issued and delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds,
Series F (the "Series F First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First
Mortgage Indenture dated as of August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company
and First Fidelity Bank, National Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as
amended and supplemented from time to time, the "First Mortgage Bond
Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount, and with an interest rate,
maturity date and redemption provisions corresponding to those of the Bonds
and certain other bonds issued under the Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.
As provided in the Agreement, payments of principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on the Series F First Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the
Trustee, be deemed to constitute payments in corresponding amounts by the
Company in respect of the Bonds and certain other bonds issued under the
Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.  Reference is hereby made to the
Agreement for the provisions thereof with respect to the rights, limitations
of rights, duties, obligations and immunities of the Company, the Authority,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Bondowners, including the order of
payments in the event of insufficient funds, the disposition of unclaimed
moneys held by the Trustee and restrictions on the rights of owners of the
Bonds to bring suit.  The Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the
manner provided therein.  Copies of the Agreement are available for
inspection at the corporate trust office of the Trustee.

In case any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount
of this bond together with accrued interest may become or be declared
immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this bond shall
have the meaning given them in the Agreement.  The following terms are
defined as follows:

"Business Day" means a day (i) that is not a Sunday or legal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close, (ii)
that is not a day on which the corporate trust office of the First Mortgage
Bond Trustee is not open for business, (iii) that is a day on which banks are
not required or authorized to close in New York, New York, and (iv) that is a
day on which banking institutions in all of the cities in which the principal
offices of the Trustee and the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the
Remarketing Agent and the Bank (as defined in the Agreement) are located are
not required or authorized to remain closed and on which the New York Stock
Exchange is not closed.

"Effective Date" means, with respect to a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly and
Multiannual Modes, the date on which a new Rate Period for that Bond takes
effect.

"Mode" means the period for and the manner in which the interest rates on the
Bonds are set and includes the Flexible Mode, the Weekly Mode, the
Multiannual Mode and the Fixed Rate Mode.

"Purchase Date" means, while this bond is in a Multiannual Mode, the date on
which this bond shall be required to be purchased pursuant to a mandatory
tender in accordance with the provisions hereof.

"Rate Period" or "Period" means, when used with respect to any particular
rate of interest for a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly or Multiannual Mode, the
period during which such rate of interest determined for such Bond will
remain in effect as described herein.

At the option of the Company and upon certain conditions provided for in the
Agreement described below, all or a portion of the Bonds (a) may be converted
or reconverted from time to time to or from the Weekly Mode or Multiannual
Mode, which means that the Rate Period is, respectively, one week or one year
or any multiple of one year, (b) may be converted or reconverted from time to
time to or from the Flexible Mode, and will have Rate Periods of from one to
270 days as provided herein, or (c) may be converted to the Fixed Rate Mode;
provided, however, that in the Multiannual Mode the first rate period
occurring after conversion to such Mode may be shorter or longer than the
applicable multiple of one year as provided in the Agreement.  While this
bond is in the Multiannual Mode, a new interest rate shall take effect on the
date such Mode takes effect and thereafter on the INTEREST PAYMENT DATE
ending the Rate Period designated by the Company.

While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, conversions to any other Mode, or
conversions to new Rate Periods of the same or different lengths while in the
Multiannual Mode, may take place only on a date which would have been an
Effective Date for this bond, or if conversion is to the Flexible or Weekly
Mode and such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter.
Conversion of this bond to another Mode, or to a new Rate Period in the
Multiannual Mode of the same or a different length, shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in the Agreement.  In the event that the conditions for
a proposed conversion to a new Mode, or to a new Rate Period in the
Multiannual Mode of the same or different length, are not met (i) such new
Mode or Rate Period shall not take effect on the proposed conversion date,
notwithstanding any prior notice to the Bondowners of such conversion and
(ii) this bond shall automatically convert to the Flexible Mode with a Rate
Period of one day.  In no event shall the failure of this bond to be
converted to another Mode or Rate Period be deemed to be a Default or an
Event of Default under the Agreement as long as the Purchase Price (as
defined below) is made available on the failed conversion date to owners of
all Bonds that were to have been converted.

When this bond is in any Multiannual Mode, the Multiannual Rate in effect for
each Rate Period (the "Effective Rate" for such Period) shall be determined
not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.  If the
Remarketing Agent fails to make such determination or fails to announce the
Effective Rate as required with respect to any Bonds in the Multiannual Mode,
or if for any reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, the rate to take effect on any Effective Date shall
be automatically converted to the Flexible Mode with a Rate Period of one
day.  The Remarketing Agent shall announce the Effective Rate by telephone to
the Paying Agent on the date of determination thereof, and shall promptly
confirm such notice in writing.

Each determination and redetermination of the Multiannual Rate shall be
conclusive and binding on the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Company, the Bondowners and, if applicable, the Bank.

While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  From and after
the date on which this bond becomes due, any unpaid principal will bear
interest at the then effective interest rate until paid or duly provided for.

While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, the principal of and premium, if
any, on this bond are payable when due by check or draft in clearinghouse
funds to the REGISTERED OWNER hereof but only upon presentation and surrender
of this bond at the office of                                     ,
                 ,                        , as Paying Agent, (with its
successors in such capacity, the "Paying Agent").  Interest on this bond
while in the Multiannual Mode is payable by check or draft in clearinghouse
funds mailed on the applicable payment date by the Paying Agent to the
REGISTERED OWNER, determined as of the close of business on the applicable
record date, at its address as shown on the registration books.  The Purchase
Price (as defined below) of Bonds tendered for purchase shall be paid as
provided below.

The record date for payment of interest while this bond is in the Multiannual
Mode is the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the date on
which the interest is to be paid, provided that with respect to overdue
interest or interest payable on redemption of this bond other than on an
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE or interest on any overdue amount, the Trustee may
establish a special record date.  The special record date may be not more
than thirty (30) days before the date set for payment.  The Paying Agent will
mail notice of a special record date to the Bondowners at least ten (10) days
before the special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly certify to
the Authority, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent that it has mailed such
notice to all Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive evidence
that notice was given in the manner required hereby.

While this bond is in the Multiannual Mode, this bond is subject to mandatory
tender for purchase at a price (the "Purchase Price") equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, on each Effective
Date.  THE OWNER OF THIS BOND, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO SELL AND
SURRENDER THIS BOND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT AND,
ON THE PURCHASE DATE, TO SURRENDER THIS BOND TO THE PAYING AGENT FOR PAYMENT
OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.  UPON DEPOSIT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE WITH THE PAYING
AGENT ON THE PURCHASE DATE, THIS BOND SHALL BE DEEMED TENDERED FOR PURCHASE
AND SHALL CEASE TO BE OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST HEREON SHALL
CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF THE PURCHASE DATE, AND THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF
SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO RECEIVE THE PURCHASE PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE
PAYING AGENT UPON SURRENDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.  All
deliveries of tendered Bonds shall be made to the Paying Agent at
                 , New York, New York, Attention:                , or such
other address specified in writing by the Paying Agent to the Bondowners.

The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid to the REGISTERED OWNER by the
Paying Agent on the Delivery Date, which shall be the Purchase Date or any
subsequent Business Day on which this bond is delivered to the Paying Agent.
The Purchase Price of this bond shall be paid only upon surrender of this
bond to the Paying Agent as provided herein.  From and after the Purchase
Date, no further interest on this bond shall be payable to the REGISTERED
OWNER, provided that there are sufficient funds available on the Purchase
Date to pay the Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price of Bonds is payable for
Bonds in the Multiannual Mode by check or draft in clearinghouse funds from
the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the
registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.  If on any date this bond
is subject to mandatory tender for purchase, payment of the Purchase Price of
this bond to such owner shall be made on the Purchase Date if presentation
and surrender of this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time,
on the Purchase Date or on such later Business Day upon which presentation
and surrender of this bond is made prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time.

In the Multiannual Mode and after the expiration of the applicable No Call
Period (measured from the COMMENCEMENT DATE OF RATE PERIOD) set forth in the
following schedule, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the direction
of the Company in whole or in part at any time at the following redemption
prices expressed as a percentage of the principal amount redeemed, plus
interest accrued to the redemption date:

reaching 100%
and thereafter at 100%

Greater than 10, but not           8 years        101 1/2%, declining

ceeding anniversary
of the end of the no
call period until
reaching 100% and
thereafter at 100%

Greater than 5, but not            5 years        101%, declining by
greater than 10 years                             1/2% on the next
anniversary of the
end of the no call
period and there-
after at 100%

5 years or less                    Bonds not subject to
optional redemption
until commencement of
next Rate Period.

In addition, at the option of the Company, the Bonds in the Multiannual Mode
are subject to redemption prior to maturity as a whole at any time at 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date,
within nine (9) months of the occurrence of certain extraordinary events
consisting of (a) damage or destruction, or loss of title by eminent domain,
to the Station or the Project Facilities, (b) changes in law affecting the
enforceability of the Agreement or imposing unreasonable burdens or excessive
liabilities on the Company relating to the Station or the Project Facilities
or their operation, (c) the enjoining or prohibiting of the operation of the
Station or the Project Facilities, or (d) changes in the economic
availability of fuel, materials, supplies, labor, equipment or other
properties or things rendering the continued operation of the Station
uneconomical, all as more fully described in the Agreement.  The Company's
right to direct the redemption of the Bonds in the Multiannual Mode upon the
occurrence of any event listed above shall expire six (6) months after such
event occurs.

The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption at any time at a redemption
price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds so redeemed plus accrued
interest in the event (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel selected by the Company and reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee ("Bond Counsel") stating that interest on the
Bonds is or will become includable in gross income of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes, or (ii) it is finally determined by the Internal
Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction, as a result of (A) a
proceeding in which the Company has participated or been given notice and an
opportunity to participate, and, (B) either (1) a failure by the Company (or
the Seabrook Transferee as defined in the Agreement) to observe any covenant
or agreement undertaken in or pursuant to the Agreement, or the inaccuracy of
any representation made by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) in or
pursuant to the Agreement, or (2) the Seabrook Transfer (as defined in the
Agreement), that interest payable on the Bonds is includable for federal
income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner thereof (other than an
owner which is a "substantial user" or a "related person" within the meaning
of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).  Any determination
under clause (ii) above will not be considered final for this purpose until
the earliest of the conclusion of any appellate review, the denial of
appellate review or the expiration of the period for seeking appellate
review.  Redemption under this paragraph shall be in whole unless not less
than forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date the Company delivers
to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee to the effect that a redemption of less than all of the Bonds will
preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding
subsequent to such redemption.  Except as provided in the next sentence, any
such redemption shall be made on the 90th day after the date on which the
opinion described in clause (i) is delivered or the determination described
in clause (ii) becomes final or on such earlier date as the Company may
designate by notice given to the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days prior
to such designated date.  Any Bond in the Flexible Mode that has a Purchase
Date prior to the redemption date established for that Bond pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be redeemed on that Purchase Date.  If such
redemption shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, then
such failure by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee as described above)
to observe such covenant or agreement, or the inaccuracy of any such
representation will not, in and of itself, constitute a default thereunder.

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Bondowner stating that (i)
such Bondowner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service
that it proposes to include the interest on the Bonds in the gross income of
such owner for federal income tax purposes, or any other proceeding has been
instituted against such owner which may lead to a like determination, and
(ii) such owner will afford the Company the opportunity to participate at its
own expense in the proceeding, either directly or in the name of such owner,
until the conclusion of any appellate review, and the Trustee has examined
such written notice and it appears to be accurate on its face, then the
Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the Authority, and
each Bondowner whose Bonds may be affected.  The Trustee shall thereafter
keep itself reasonably informed of the progress of any administrative
proceedings or litigation relating to such notice.  Under the Agreement the
Company is required to give the Trustee written notice of such a final
determination within forty-five (45) days of such final determination.

If less than all of the outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption,
the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as provided
in the Agreement with Bonds in the Multiannual Mode being redeemed in units
of $5,000.

In the event this bond is selected for redemption, notice will be mailed no
more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the
registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.  Failure to mail notice to
the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to such an owner
shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

If this bond is of a denomination in excess of five thousand dollars
($5,000), portions of the principal amount in the amount of five thousand
dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof may be redeemed.  If less than all
of the principal amount is to be redeemed, upon surrender of this bond to the
Paying Agent, there will be issued to the REGISTERED OWNER, without charge, a
new Bond or Bonds, at the option of the REGISTERED OWNER, for the unredeemed
principal amount.

Notice of redemption having been duly mailed, this bond, or the portion
called for redemption, will become due and payable on the redemption date at
the applicable redemption price and, moneys for the redemption having been
deposited with the Paying Agent, from and after the date fixed for
redemption, interest on this bond (or such portion) will no longer accrue.

IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES SET OUT HEREIN, THIS BOND (OR PORTION HEREOF) IS
SUBJECT TO PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION.  IN EACH SUCH EVENT AND UPON DEPOSIT OF
THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION PRICE WITH THE PAYING AGENT ON THE PURCHASE OR
REDEMPTION DATE, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THIS BOND (OR PORTION HEREOF) SHALL
CEASE TO BE DEEMED TO BE OUTSTANDING UNDER THE AGREEMENT, INTEREST HEREON
SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE AS OF THE PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION DATE, AND THE
REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF SHALL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO RECEIVE THE PURCHASE OR
REDEMPTION PRICE SO DEPOSITED WITH THE PAYING AGENT ONLY UPON SURRENDER OF
THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE PAYING AGENT.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount without transfer to a new registered owner.
Exchanges and transfers will be without expense to the owner except for
applicable taxes or other governmental charges, if any.  The Paying Agent
will not be required to make an exchange or transfer of this bond (except in
connection with any optional or mandatory tender of this bond) (i) if this
bond (or any portion thereof) has been selected for redemption or (ii) during
the fifteen (15) days preceding any date fixed for selection for redemption
if this bond (or any portion thereof) is eligible to be selected for
redemption.

The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of five
thousand dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS BOND ON THE BACK, WHICH
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH HERE.

OR OF THE AUTHORITY EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW HAMPSHIRE RSA
CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) from the most
recent INTEREST PAYMENT DATE to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF THIS BOND, at the
INTEREST RATE per annum, payable semiannually on the INTEREST PAYMENT DATES,
until the date on which this bond becomes due, whether at maturity or by
acceleration or redemption.  From and after that date, any unpaid principal
will bear interest at the same rate until paid or duly provided for.  The
principal and premium, if any, of this bond is payable in clearinghouse funds
at the office of                            , as Paying Agent (with its
successors, the "Paying Agent").  Interest is payable by check or draft in
clearinghouse funds mailed by the Paying Agent to the REGISTERED OWNER of
this bond (or of one or more predecessor or successor Bonds (as defined
below)), determined as of the close of business on the applicable record
date, at its address as shown on the registration books maintained by the
Paying Agent.  If any payment, redemption or maturity date for principal,
premium or interest shall be (i) a Sunday or a legal holiday, or (ii) a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close and on
which the corporate trust office of the Trustee or the First Mortgage Bond
Trustee is not open for business, then the payment thereof may be made on the
next succeeding day not a day specified in (i) or (ii) with the same force
and effect as if made on the specified payment date and no interest shall
accrue for the period after the specified payment date.

The record date for payment of interest is the fifteenth day of the month
preceding the date on which the interest is to be paid, provided that, with
respect to overdue interest or interest payable on redemption of this bond
other than on an INTEREST PAYMENT DATE or interest on any overdue amount, the
Trustee (as defined below) may establish a special record date.  The special
record date may be not more than thirty (30) days before the date set for
payment.  The Paying Agent will mail notice of a special record date to the
registered owners of the Bonds (the "Bondowners") at least ten (10) days
before the special record date.  The Paying Agent will promptly certify to
the Authority and the Trustee that it has mailed such notice to all
Bondowners, and such certificate will be conclusive evidence that such notice
was given in the manner required hereby.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Refunding Revenue Bonds
(Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1992 Tax-Exempt Series D)
(the "Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 issued under
New Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are
being loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a
New Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement
dated as of May 1, 1991, as supplemented and amended by a First Supplement
dated as of December 1, 1992 (the "Agreement") among the Company, the
Authority and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee")
to refund a like principal amount of the Authority's $114,500,000 Pollution
Control Revenue Bonds (Public Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991
Taxable Series D) (the "1991 Bonds"), which were originally issued to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations, if
any, under the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined in the Agreement), the
Company has issued and delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds,
Series F (the "Series F First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First
Mortgage Indenture dated as of August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company
and First Fidelity Bank, National Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as
amended and supplemented from time to time, the "First Mortgage Bond
Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount, and with an interest rate,
maturity date and redemption provisions corresponding to those of the Bonds
and certain other bonds issued under the Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.
As provided in the Agreement, payments of principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on the Series F First Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the
Trustee, be deemed to constitute payments in corresponding amounts by the
Company in respect of the Bonds and certain other bonds issued under the
Agreement, including the 1991 Bonds.  Reference is hereby made to the
Agreement for the provisions thereof with respect to the rights, limitations
of rights, duties, obligations and immunities of the Company, the Authority,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Bondowners, including the order of
payments in the event of insufficient funds, the disposition of unclaimed
moneys held by the Trustee and restrictions on the rights of owners of the
Bonds to bring suit.  The Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the
manner provided therein.  Copies of the Agreement are available for
inspection at the corporate trust office of the Trustee.

In case any Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) occurs and is
continuing, the principal amount of this bond together with accrued interest
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in
the Agreement.

The Bonds are redeemable pursuant to the Agreement prior to maturity
beginning on        ,         , at the option of the Authority by direction of
the Company, as a whole or in part at any time, at the following prices
expressed in percentages of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to
the redemption date:

Period During Which Redeemed            Redemption Price

%

[Table to be prepared upon Fixed Rate conversion.  The table shall be based
on redemption schedule established for the bond in the Multiannual Mode.]

In addition, at the option of the Company, this bond is subject to redemption
prior to maturity at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest to the redemption date within nine (9) months of the occurrence of
certain extraordinary events consisting of (a) damage or destruction, or loss
of title by eminent domain, to the Station or the Project Facilities, (b)
changes in law affecting the enforceability of the Agreement or imposing
unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities on the Company relating to the
Station or the Project Facilities or their operation, (c) the enjoining or
prohibiting of the operation of the Station or the Project Facilities, or (d)
changes in the economic availability of fuel, materials, supplies, labor,
equipment or other properties or things rendering the continued operation of
the Station uneconomical, all as more fully described in the Agreement.  The
Company's right to direct the redemption of this bond upon the occurrence of
any event listed above shall expire six (6) months after such event occurs.

The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption at any time at a redemption
price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds so redeemed plus accrued
interest in the event (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel selected by the Company and reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee ("Bond Counsel") stating that interest on the
Bonds is or will become includable in gross income of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes, or (ii) it is finally determined by the Internal
Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction, as a result of (A) a
proceeding in which the Company has participated or been given notice and an
opportunity to participate, and, (B) either (1) a failure by the Company (or
the Seabrook Transferee as defined in the Agreement) to observe any covenant
or agreement undertaken in or pursuant to the Agreement, or the inaccuracy of
any representation made by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee) in or
pursuant to the Agreement, or (2) the Seabrook Transfer (as defined in the
Agreement), that interest payable on the Bonds is includable for federal
income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner thereof (other than an
owner which is a "substantial user" or a "related person" within the meaning
of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).  Any determination
under clause (ii) above will not be considered final for this purpose until
the earliest of the conclusion of any appellate review, the denial of
appellate review or the expiration of the period for seeking appellate
review.  Redemption under this paragraph shall be in whole unless not less
than forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date the Company delivers
to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee to the effect that a redemption of less than all of the Bonds will
preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding
subsequent to such redemption.  Except as provided in the next sentence, any
such redemption shall be made on the 90th day after the date on which the
opinion described in clause (i) is delivered or the determination described
in clause (ii) becomes final or on such earlier date as the Company may
designate by notice given to the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days prior
to such designated date.  Any Bond in the Flexible Mode that has a Purchase
Date prior to the redemption date established for that Bond pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be redeemed on that Purchase Date.  If such
redemption shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, then
such failure by the Company (or the Seabrook Transferee as described above)
to observe such covenant or agreement, or the inaccuracy of any such
representation will not, in and of itself, constitute a default thereunder.

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Bondowner stating that (i)
such Bondowner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service
that it proposes to include the interest on the Bonds in the gross income of
such owner for federal income tax purposes, or any other proceeding has been
instituted against such owner which may lead to a like determination, and
(ii) such owner will afford the Company the opportunity to participate at its
own expense in the proceeding, either directly or in the name of such owner,
until the conclusion of any appellate review, and the Trustee has examined
such written notice and it appears to be accurate on its face, then the
Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the Authority, and
each Bondowner whose Bonds may be affected.  The Trustee shall thereafter
keep itself reasonably informed of the progress of any administrative
proceedings or litigation relating to such notice.  Under the Agreement the
Company is required to give the Trustee written notice of such a final
determination within forty-five (45) days of such final determination.

If less than all of the outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption,
the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as provided
in the Agreement.

In the event this bond is selected for redemption, notice will be mailed no
more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the
redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address shown on the
registration books maintained by the Paying Agent.  Failure to mail notice to
the owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to such an owner
shall not affect the redemption of this bond.

If this bond is of a denomination in excess of five thousand dollars
($5,000), portions of the principal amount in the amount of five thousand
dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof may be redeemed.  If less than all
of the principal amount is to be redeemed, upon surrender of this bond to the
Paying Agent, there will be issued to the REGISTERED OWNER, without charge, a
new Bond or Bonds, at the option of the REGISTERED OWNER, for the unredeemed
principal amount.

Notice of redemption having been duly mailed, this bond, or the portion
called for redemption, will become due and payable on the redemption date at
the applicable redemption price and, moneys for the redemption having been
deposited with the Paying Agent, from and after the date fixed for
redemption, interest on this bond (or such portion) will no longer accrue.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this Bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office.  No transfer will be effective unless represented by such surrender
and reissue.  This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying
Agent for a new Bond or Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount without
transfer to a new registered owner.  Exchanges and transfers will be without
expense to the holder except for applicable taxes or other governmental
charges, if any.  The Paying Agent will not be required to make an exchange
or transfer of this bond during the fifteen (15) days preceding any date
fixed for selection for redemption if this bond (or any part thereof) is
eligible to be selected or has been selected for the redemption.

This bond is issuable only in fully registered form in the denominations of
five thousand dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company may treat the
REGISTERED OWNER as the absolute owner of this bond for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority nor any person
executing this bond (by facsimile signature or otherwise) shall be personally
liable, either jointly or severally, hereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

This bond will not be valid until the Certificate of Authentication has been
signed by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

THIS BOND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
OR OF THE AUTHORITY EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW HAMPSHIRE RSA
CHAPTER 162-I.  ALL AMOUNTS OWED HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE SOURCES
PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT DESCRIBED BELOW, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS
MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Industrial Development Authority of the State of New Hampshire (the
"Authority"), for value received, promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER, or
registered assigns, but solely from the moneys to be provided under the
Agreement mentioned below, upon presentation and surrender hereof, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT on the MATURITY
DATE, unless paid earlier as provided below, with interest from the most
recent Interest Payment Date, as defined below, to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the DATE OF
THIS BOND set forth above, until paid in full, at the rates set forth below,
payable on each Interest Payment Date.  So long as this bond is in the
Flexible Mode, interest shall be due on this bond on each Purchase Date (as
defined below) and on the MATURITY DATE, and when this bond is in any other
Mode interest shall be due on the dates provided in the Agreement (the
"Interest Payment Dates").  Until conversion to the Weekly, Multiannual or
Fixed Rate Mode as provided below, this bond shall bear interest at the
Flexible Rate.  The Flexible Rate for this bond shall be the rate of interest
determined by the Remarketing Agent designated as provided in the Agreement
(herein, with its successors, the "Remarketing Agent"), for each Rate Period,
as defined below, to be the lowest rate which in its judgment, on the basis
of prevailing financial market conditions, is necessary on and as of the
Effective Date, as defined below, to remarket each Bond having such Rate
Period in a secondary market transaction at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, but not in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate.  If this bond
is converted to the Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate Mode it shall bear
interest at the Weekly, Multiannual or Fixed Rate, as the case may be, as
defined in the Agreement.  The Remarketing Agent shall determine the initial
Flexible Rate on or before the date of issue in or of conversion to the
Flexible Mode, which rate shall remain in effect as provided in the
Agreement.  Thereafter, the Remarketing Agent shall redetermine the Flexible
Rate for each Rate Period as provided below.  The amount of interest due on
any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of unpaid interest accrued on
this bond through the day preceding such Interest Payment Date or, if such
Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, through the day preceding the
first Business Day succeeding such Interest Payment Date.

This bond is one of a series of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds (Public
Service Company of New Hampshire Project - 1991 Taxable Series D) (the
"Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of $114,500,000 issued under New
Hampshire RSA Chapter 162-I (the "Act").  The proceeds of the Bonds are being
loaned to Public Service Company of New Hampshire (the "Company"), a New
Hampshire corporation, pursuant to a Series D Loan and Trust Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1991 among the Company, the Authority and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") to finance
certain costs associated with the Company's ownership interest in air or
water pollution control and sewage or solid waste disposal facilities
installed for use by Unit No. 1 at the nuclear electric generating station
(the "Station") in Seabrook, New Hampshire (the "Project Facilities").
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has unconditionally agreed to repay
such loan in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due.  To evidence and secure
such loan and the Company's reimbursement and certain other obligations under
the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below), the Company has issued and
delivered to the Trustee its First Mortgage Bonds, Series F (the "Series F
First Mortgage Bonds") issued under the First Mortgage Indenture dated as of
August 15, 1978, as amended, and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture thereto
dated as of May 1, 1991 between the Company and First Fidelity Bank, National
Association, New Jersey, as Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to
time, the "First Mortgage Bond Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount,
and with an interest rate, maturity date and redemption provisions
corresponding to those of the Bonds.  As provided in the Agreement, payments
of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Series F First
Mortgage Bonds shall, upon receipt by the Trustee, be deemed to constitute
payments in corresponding amounts by the Company in respect of the Bonds.
Reference is hereby made to the Agreement for the provisions thereof with
respect to the rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and
immunities of the Company, the Authority, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and
the Bondowners, including the order of payments in the event of insufficient
funds, the disposition of unclaimed moneys held by the Trustee and
restrictions on the rights of owners of the Bonds to bring suit.  The
Agreement may be amended to the extent and in the manner provided therein.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee.

The Purchase Price (as defined below) and principal of and interest on this
bond while it is in the Flexible Mode is also payable from moneys drawn by
the Paying Agent on an irrevocable letter of credit for the Bonds (together
with any extensions and renewals thereof, the "Letter of Credit") issued by
Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch pursuant to the terms of a Second Series D
Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement dated as of May 1, 1995 (the
"Reimbursement Agreement") by and between the Company and Barclays Bank PLC,
New York Branch (together with any other issuer of a Credit Facility, the
"Bank").  The Letter of Credit initially expires on May 1, 1998 but may be
terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the
Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement or extended as provided in the
Reimbursement Agreement.  The Company may substitute the Letter of Credit in
whole or in part with one or more new letters of credit (collectively with
the Letter of Credit, a "Credit Facility") as provided in the Agreement and
the Reimbursement Agreement.  The Company may substitute a new Letter of
Credit as provided in the Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this bond shall
have the meaning given them in the Agreement.  The following terms are
defined as follows:

"Business Day" means a day (i) that is not a Sunday or legal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are authorized pursuant to law to close, (ii)
that is not a day on which the corporate trust office of the First Mortgage
Bond Trustee is not open for business, (iii) that is a day on which banks are
not required or authorized to close in New York, New York, and (iv) that is a
day on which banking institutions in all of the cities in which the principal
offices of the Trustee and the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the
Remarketing Agent and the Bank are located are not required or authorized to
remain closed and on which the New York Stock Exchange is not closed.

"Effective Date" means, with respect to a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly and
Multiannual Modes, the date on which a new Rate Period for that Bond takes
effect.

"Mode" means the period for and the manner in which the interest rates on the
Bonds are set and includes the Flexible Mode, the Weekly Mode, the
Multiannual Mode and the Fixed Rate Mode.

"Purchase Date" means, while this bond is in the Flexible Mode, the date on
which this bond shall be required to be purchased pursuant to a mandatory
tender in accordance with the provisions hereof.

"Rate Period" or "Period" means, when used with respect to any particular
rate of interest for a Bond in the Flexible, Weekly or Multiannual Mode, the
period during which such rate of interest determined for such Bond will
remain in effect as described herein.

At the option of the Company and upon certain conditions provided for in the
Agreement described below, all or a portion of the Bonds (a) may be converted
or reconverted from time to time to or from the Weekly Mode or Multiannual
Mode, which means that the Rate Period is, respectively, one week or one year
or any multiple of one year, (b) may be converted or reconverted from time to
time to or from the Flexible Mode, and will have Rate Periods of from one to
270 days as provided herein, or (c) may be converted to the Fixed Rate Mode;
provided, however, that in the Multiannual Mode the first rate period
occurring after conversion to such Mode may be shorter than the applicable
multiple of one year as provided in the Agreement.  While this bond is in the
Flexible Mode, a new interest rate shall take effect on the date such Mode
takes effect, and on the Effective Date of the next Flexible Rate Period, as
defined herein, applicable to this bond.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode, conversions to any other Mode may
take place only on an Effective Date.  Conversion of this bond to another
Mode shall be subject to certain conditions set forth in the Agreement.  In
the event that the conditions for a proposed conversion to a new Mode are not
met (i) such new Mode shall not take effect on the proposed conversion date,
notwithstanding any prior notice to the Bondowners of such conversion and
(ii) this bond shall remain in the Flexible Mode with a Rate Period of one
day.  In no event shall the failure of this bond to be converted to another
Mode be deemed to be a Default or an Event of Default under the Agreement as
long as the Purchase Price (as defined below) is made available on the failed
conversion date to owners of all Bonds that were to have been converted.

While Bonds bear interest at Flexible Rates, the interest rate for each
particular Bond in the Flexible Mode will be determined by the Remarketing
Agent and will remain in effect from and including the Effective Date of the
Rate Period selected for that Bond by the Remarketing Agent through the last
date thereof.  While the Bonds are in the Flexible Mode, Bonds may have
successive Rate Periods of any duration up to 270 days each and ending on a
Business Day and any Bond may bear interest at a rate and for a period
different from any other Bond.

In the event that the Remarketing Agent no longer determines, or fails to
determine when required, any Rate Period or any Flexible Rate for any Bonds,
or if for any reason such manner of determination shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, the Rate Period for any such Bond shall be deemed
to be a Flexible Rate Period with a duration of one day and the Flexible Rate
shall be determined as provided in the Agreement.

While this bond is in the Flexible Mode it is subject to mandatory tender for
purchase on each applicable Effective Date at a price (the "Purchase Price")
of par plus accrued interest to the Effective Date.  THE OWNER OF THIS BOND,
BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO SELL AND SURRENDER THIS BOND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT AND, ON THE PURCHASE DATE, TO SURRENDER
THIS BOND TO THE PAYING AGENT FOR PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.  UPON
DEPOSIT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE WITH THE PAYING AGENT ON THE PURCHASE DATE,

to the Bondowners at least ten (10) days before the special record date.  The

certificate will be conclusive evidence that notice was given in the manner
required hereby.

This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by its
attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon
surrender of this bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation.  Upon the
