                                                                Execution Copy

                           1996 AMENDATORY AGREEMENT

     This Agreement, dated as of the 4th day of December, 1996, is entered into

by and between Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company ("Connecticut Yankee" or

"Seller") and The Connecticut Light and Power Company ("Purchaser").

     For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby

acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:

1.   Basic Understandings
     --------------------

     Connecticut Yankee was organized in 1962 to provide for the supply of

power to its sponsoring utility companies, including the Purchaser

(collectively the "Purchasers").  It constructed a nuclear electric generating

unit, having a net capability of approximately 582 megawatts electric (the

"Unit") at a site in Haddam Neck, Connecticut.  Connecticut Yankee was issued

a full-term, Facility Operating License for the Unit by the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (which, together with any successor agencies, is hereafter called

the "NRC"), which license is now stated to expire on June 29, 2007.  The Unit

has been in commercial operation since January 1, 1968.

     The Unit was conceived to supply economic power on a cost of service

formula basis to the Purchasers.  Connecticut Yankee and the Purchaser are

arties to a Power Contract dated as of July 1, 1964 ("Initial Power Contract").

Pursuant to the Initial Power Contract and other similar contracts

(collectively, the "Initial Power Contracts") between Connecticut Yankee and

the other Purchasers, Connecticut Yankee contracted to supply to the Purchasers

all of the capacity and electric energy available from the Unit for a term of

thirty (30) years following January 1, 1968.

     Connecticut Yankee an the Purchaser are also parties to an

Additional Power Contract, dated as of April 30, 1984 ("Additional Power

Contract").  The Additional Power Contract and other similar contracts

(collectively, the "Additional Power Contracts") between Connecticut Yankee

and the other Purchasers, Connecticut Yankee contracted to supply to the

Purchasers all of the capacity and electric energy available from the Unit

for a term of thirty (30) years following January 1, 1968.

     Connecticut Yankee and the Purchaser are also parties to an

Additional Power Contract, dated as of April 30, 1984 ("Additional Power

Contract").  The Additional Power Contract and other similar contracts

(collectively, the "Additional Power Contracts") between Connecticut Yankee

and the other Purchasers provide for an operative term stated to commence

on January 1, 1998 (when the Initial Power Contracts terminate) and extending

until a date (the "End of Term Date") which is 30 days after the later of the

date on which the last of the financial obligations of Connecticut Yankee has

been extinguished or the date on which Connecticut Yankee is finally relieved

of any obligations under the last of the licenses (operating or possessory)

which it holds, or hereafter receives, from the NRC with respect to the Unit.

The Additional Power Contracts also provide, in the event of their earlier

cancellation, for the survival of the decommissioning cost obligation and for

the applicable provisions thereof to remain in effect to permit final billings

of costs incurred prior to such cancellation.

     Pursuant to the Power Contract and the Additional Power Contract, the

Purchaser is entitled and obligated to take its entitlement percentage of the

capacity and net electrical output of the Unit during the service life of the

Unit and is obligated to pay therefore monthly its entitlement percentage of

Connecticut Yankee's cost of service, including decommissioning costs, whether

or not the Unit is operated.

     Connecticut Yankee and the Purchaser are also parties to a 1987

Supplementary Power Contract, dated as of April 1, 1987 ("1987 Supplementary

Power Contract").  The 1987 Supplementary Power Contract and other similar

contracts (collectively, the "1987 Supplementary Power Contracts") between

Connecticut Yankee and the other Purchasers restate and supersede earlier

Supplementary Power Contracts and Agreements Amending Supplementary Power

Contracts between Connecticut Yankee and the Purchasers.  Pursuant to the

1987 Supplementary Power Contracts, the Purchasers make monthly certain

supplementary payments to Connecticut Yankee during the terms of the Initial

Power Contracts and Additional Power Contracts.

     On December 4, 1996, the board of directors of Connecticut Yankee,

after conducting a thorough review of the economics of continued

operation of the Unit for the remainder of the economics of continued

operation of the Unit for the remainder of the term of the Facility

Operating License for the Unit in light of other alternatives available

to Connecticut Yankee and the Purchasers, determined that the Unit

should be permanently shut down effective December 4, 1996.  The

Purchaser concurs in that decision.

     As a consequence of the shutdown decision, Connecticut Yankee and

the Purchaser propose at this time to amend the 1987 Supplementary Power

Contract and Additional Power Contract in various respects in order to

clarify and confirm provisions for the recovery under said contracts of

the full costs previously incurred by Connecticut Yankee in providing

power from the Unit during its useful life and of all costs of

decommissioning the Unit, including the costs of maintaining the Unit

in a safe condition following the shutdown and prior to its

decontamination and dismantlement.

     Connecticut Yankee and each of the other Purchasers are entering

into agreements which are identical to this Agreement except for

necessary changes in the names of the parties.

2.   Parties' Contractual Commitments
     --------------------------------
     Connecticut Yankee reconfirms its existing contractual obligations to

protect the Unit, to maintain in effect certain insurance and to prepare for

and implement the decommissioning of the Unit in accordance with applicable

aws and regulations.  Consistent with public safety, Connecticut Yankee shall

use its best efforts to accomplish the shutdown of the Unit, the protection

and any necessary maintenance of the Unit after shutdown and the

decommissioning of the Unit in a cost-effective manner and shall use its best

efforts to ensure that any required storage and disposal of the nuclear fuel

remaining in the reactor at shutdown and all spent nuclear fuel or other

radioactive materials resulting from operating of the Unit are accomplished

consistent with public health and safety considerations and at the lowest

practicable cost.  The Purchaser reconfirms its obligations under its Initial

Power Contract, Additional Power Contract and 1987 Supplementary Power Contract

to pay its entitlement percentage of Connecticut Yankee's costs as deferred

payment in connection with the capacity and net electrical output of the Unit

previously delivered by Connecticut Yankee and agrees that the decision to

shut down the Unit described in Section 1 hereof does not give rise to any

cancellation right under Section 9 of the Initial Power Contract or Section 10

of the Additional Power Contract.

     Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the provisions of the

Additional Power Contract and the 1987 Supplementary Power Contract remain in

full force and effect, recognizing that the mutually accepted decision to shut

down the Unit renders moot those provisions which by their terms relate solely

to continuing operation of the Unit.

3.   Amendment of Payment Provisions of Additional Power Contract
     ------------------------------------------------------------
     and 1987 Supplementary Power Contract
     -------------------------------------

     A.   Section 2 of the Additional Power Contract is hereby amended by

deleting the first two paragraphs thereof and by inserting in lieu thereof

the following.

                 This contract shall become effective upon receipt by the
          Purchaser of notice that Connecticut Yankee has entered into
          Additional Power Contracts, as contemplated by Section 1 above, with
          each of the other Purchasers.  The operative term of this contract
          shall commence on such date as may be authorized by the FERC as may
          be authorized by the FERC and shall terminate on the date (the "End
          of Term Date") which is the later to occur of (i) 30 days after the
          date on which the last of the financial obligations of Connecticut
          Yankee which constitute elements of the payment calculated pursuant
          to Section 7 of this contract has been extinguished by Connecticut
          Yankee, or (ii) 30 days after the date on which Connecticut Yankee is
          finally relieved of all obligations under the last of any licenses
          (operating and/or possessory) which it now holds from, or which may
          hereafter be issued to it by, the NRC with respect to the Unit under
          applicable provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
          from time to time (the "Act").

     B.   The second paragraph of Section 4 of the Additional Power Contract is

amended by deleting the phrase "Second Supplementary Power Contracts" wherever

it appears and inserting in lieu thereof the phrase "1987 Supplementary Power

Contracts".

     C.   The first paragraph of Section 7 of the Additional Power Contract is

amended to read as follows:

          With respect to each month commencing on or after the commencement of
          the operative term of this contract, whether or not this contract
          continues fully or partially in effect, the Purchaser will pay
          Connecticut Yankee as deferred payment for the capacity and output
          of the Unit provided to the Purchaser by Connecticut Yankee prior to
          the permanent shutdown of the Unit on December 4, 1996, to the extent
          not otherwise paid in accordance with the Power Contract, but without
          duplication:

     D.   The eighth paragraph of Section 7 of the Additional Power Contract is

amended by changing the period at the end to a comma and inserting:

          , but including for purposes of this contract:

          (i)  with respect to each month until the commencement of

               decommissioning of the Unit, the Purchaser's entitlement

               percentage of all expenses related to the storage or disposal

               of nuclear fuel or other radioactive materials, and all expenses

               related to protection and maintenance of the Unit during such

               period, including to the extent applicable all of the various

               sorts of expenses included in the definition of "Decommissioning

               Expenses", to the extent incurred during the period prior to the

               commencement of decommissioning;

          (ii) with respect to each month until expenses associated with

               disposal of pre-April 7, 1983 spent nuclear fuel have been fully

               covered by amounts which have been collected from Purchasers

               and paid to a segregated fund as contemplated by Section 8 of

               the 1987 Supplementary Power Contract, dated as of April 1,

               1987, between Connecticut Yankee and the Purchaser, as amended

               (the "1987 Contract"), the Purchaser's entitlement percentage

               of previously uncollected expenses associated with disposal of

               such prior spent nuclear fuel, as determined in accordance with

               Section 10 of the 1987 Contract; and

         (iii) with respect to each month until End of License Term, the

               Purchaser's entitlement percentage of monthly amortization of

               (a) the amount of any unamortized deferred expenses, as

               permitted from time to time by the Federal Energy Regulatory

               Commission or its successor agency, plus (b) the remaining

               unamortized amount of Connecticut Yankee's investment in plant,

               nuclear fuel and materials and supplies and other assets.

               Such amortization shall be accrued at a rate sufficient to

               amortize fully such unamortized deferred expenses and

               Connecticut Yankee's investments in plant, nuclear fuel and

               materials and supplies or other assets over a period

               extending to June 29, 2007, provided, that if during any

               calendar month ending on or before December 31, 2000 either of

               the following events shall occur:  (a) Connecticut Yankee

               shall become insolvent or (b) Connecticut Yankee shall be

               unable, from available cash or other sources, to meet when

               due during such month its obligations to pay principal,

               interest, premium (if any) or other less with respect to any

               of its indebtedness of money borrowed, then Connecticut Yankee

               may adjust upward the accrual for amortization of the

               unrecovered investment for such month to an amount

               not exceeding the applicable maximum level specified in

               Appendix A hereto, provided that concurrently therewith the net

               Unit investment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the

               amount of such adjustment.

          As used herein, "End of License Term" means June 29, 2007 or such

later date as may be fixed, by amendment to the NRC Facility Operating License

for the Unit, as the end of the term of the Facility Operating License.

     E.   The definitions in Section 7 of the Additional Power Contract

and in Section 3 of the 1987 Supplementary Power Contract of "Total

Decommissioning Costs" and "Decommissioning Expenses" are hereby amended

to read as follows:

          "Total Decommissioning Costs" for any month shall mean the sum of (x)

          (x) may be held by Connecticut Yankee or by an independent trust or
          other separate fund, as determined by said board of directors, (ii)
          that, upon compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, the
          amount, custody and/or timing of such accruals may from time to time
          during the term hereof be modified by said board of directors
          in its discretion or to comply with applicable statutory or
          regulatory requirements or to reflect changes in the amount, custody
          or timing of anticipated Decommissioning Expenses, and (iii) that the
          use of the term "to decommission" herein encompasses compliance
          with all requirements of the NRC for permanent cessation of operation
          of a nuclear facility and any other activities reasonably related
          thereto, including provision for the interim storage of spent nuclear

               salvage on any machinery, construction equipment and apparatus,
               the cost of which was charged to Decommissioning Expense, shall
               be treated as a reduction of the amounts otherwise chargeable on
               account of the costs of decommissioning of the Unit; and

          (3)  All overhead costs applicable to the Unit during the
               Decommissioning Period, or accrued during such period, including

          board of directors of Connecticut Yankee to cease permanently the
          operation of the Unit for the purpose of producing electric energy
          and ending with the date when Connecticut Yankee has completed the
          decommissioning of the Unit and the restoration of the site and has
          been relieved of all its obligations under the last of any licenses
          issued to it by the NRC.

     G.   The first sentence of Section 8 of the Additional Power

Contract is hereby amended to read as follows:

     days after the end of any month, for all amounts payable by the Purchaser
     with respect to such particular month pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

     H.   Section 8 of the Additional Power Contract and Section

4 of the 1987 Supplementary Power Contract are each amended to

delete the name "The Connecticut Bank and Trust Company, National

Association" and substitute "Fleet National Bank".

     I.   Section 5 of the 1987 Supplementary Power Contract is

amended to read as follows:

          5.   Decommissioning Fund
               --------------------
                    Connecticut Yankee agrees to pay to, or cause to be paid
               to, the Connecticut Yankee Trust or any successor trust approved
               by the board of directors of Connecticut Yankee all funds
               collected pursuant to Section 3 under clause (x) of the
               definition of "Total Decommissioning Costs".

     J.   Section 10 of the Additional Power Contract is amended

to read as follows:

          10.  Cancellation of Contract
               ------------------------
               If either

                    (i)  the Unit is damaged to the extent of being completely
               or substantially completely destroyed, or

                    (ii)  the Unit is taken by exercise of the right of eminent
               domain or a similar right or power,

          then and in any such case, the Purchaser may cancel the provisions of
          this contract, except that in all cases other than those described in
          clause (ii) above, the Purchaser shall be obligated to continue to
          make the payments of Total Decommissioning Costs and the other
          payments required by Section 7 and the provisions of that Section and
          the related provisions of this contract shall remain in full force
          and effect until the End of Term Date, it being recognized that the
          costs which Purchaser is required to pay pursuant to Section 7
          represent deferred payments in connection with power heretofore
          delivered by Connecticut Yankee hereunder.  Such cancellation shall
          be effected by written notice given by the Purchaser to Connecticut
          Yankee.  In the event of such cancellation, all continuing
          obligations of the parties hereunder as to subsequently incurred
          costs of Connecticut Yankee other than the obligations of the
          Purchaser to continue to make the payments required by Section 7
          shall cease forthwith.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
          applicable provisions of this contract shall continue in effect after
          the cancellation hereof to the extent necessary to permit final
          billings and adjustments hereunder with respect to obligations
          incurred through the date of cancellation and the collection thereof.
          Any dispute as to the Purchaser's right to cancel this contract
          pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be referred to arbitration
          in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.

               Notwithstanding anything in this contract elsewhere contained,
          the Purchaser may cancel this contract or be relieved of its
          obligations to make payments hereunder only as provided in the next
          preceding paragraph of this Section 10.  Further, if for reasons
          beyond Connecticut Yankee's reasonable control, deliveries are not
          made as contemplated by this contract, Connecticut Yankee shall have
          no liability to the Purchaser on account of such non-delivery.

     K.   Section 2 of the 1987 Supplementary Power Agreement is amended to
          change the date in the definitions of "operating expenses" and "M"
          from May 26, 2004" to "June 29, 2007".

5.   Effective Date
     --------------
     This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Purchaser of

notice that Connecticut Yankee has entered into 1996 Amendatory Agreements,

as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, with each of the other Purchasers.

6.   Interpretation
     --------------
     The interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be in

accordance with and controlled by the laws of the State of Connecticut.
