accordance with the terms set forth herein. GBP shall pay a rate of $34.50 per
MWh for the Millstone Unit No. 2 and Millstone Unit No. 3 Purchased Power from

7.       PAYMENT

7.1      Select shall make payments to GBP of $3.7 million on or before February
6, 2001, and $3.3 million on or before March 1, 2001, as a prepaid balance for
the Seabrook Purchased Power (the "Prepaid Power Balance").

7.2      GBP shall reimburse Select for the Prepaid Power Balance by either: (i)
delivering Seabrook Purchased Power or, (ii) at GBP's option, by delivering
Seabrook Purchased Power and making a cash payment on or after the first day
that is calculated, in accordance with Section 7.3, as the ninety-second day of

Purchased Power, GBP shall make a final cash payment to Select corresponding to
the Prepaid Power Balance in column (B) plus the Fee for Prepayment of Power in

appropriate Prepaid Power Balance in column (B) on the first day of such
Suspension and (ii) the appropriate Fee for Prepayment of Power in column (D)
associated with the unamortized balance on the Amortization Schedule. Each such
monthly Suspension Fee shall be paid on the due date for that month's invoice.

7.4      If GBP has made full reimbursement to Select for the Prepaid Power

$34.50/MWh.

7.6      In addition to each party's payment for the Purchased Power, GBP shall
reimburse Select for its reasonable outside counsel and recording fees in
connection with the preparation, review and recordation of documentation for
this transaction. Select shall send to GBP an invoice detailing such fees, which
shall be paid by GBP in the next following payment period.

8.       UNIT CONTINGENCIES

8.1      Each Purchased Power sale by the parties shall be contingent upon the
minimum output of the particular unit that is associated with the System Firm
Energy exchanged (i.e., Seabrook, Millstone Unit No. 2 or Millstone Unit No.
3) (each individually a "Unit" and together, the "Units") being at or above
sixty percent (60%) of the Unit's Seasonal Claimed Capability, except as
otherwise provided herein. Unit output below 60%, or no Unit output, is deemed
to be an "Event." If an Event occurs, it will be deemed to be continuing and the
Unit will not be deemed to be capable of providing System Firm

<PAGE>   4

Energy hereunder until such Unit has achieved output of 90% for 48 consecutive
hours ("End of Event").

8.2      If an Event occurs with respect to Seabrook, but not with respect to
Millstone Unit Nos. 2 and 3, Select shall continue to deliver Millstone Unit
Nos. 2 and 3 Purchased Power to GBP. If on the 22nd day of a continuing Event,
the Event for Seabrook continues, the obligations of the Parties to deliver
Purchased Power shall be suspended until there is an End of Event with respect
to Seabrook, at which time the Parties' delivery obligations shall resume.

8.3      If an Event occurs with respect to either Millstone Unit Nos. 2 or 3,
but not with respect to Seabrook and the other Millstone Unit, Select shall
continue to deliver 25 MWhr/hr of System Firm Energy to GBP from the operating
Millstone Unit and GBP shall continue to deliver Seabrook Purchased Power during
the first 21 days of an Event in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Five days prior to the 21 st day of a continuing Event at a Millstone Unit,
Select may notify GBP as to whether it intends to deliver 25 MWhr/hr of
substitute System Firm Energy from the operating Millstone Unit, in which case
GBP shall continue to deliver 50 MWhr/hr of Seabrook Purchased Power. If Select
does not so notify GBP of its intention to deliver an additional 25 MWhr/hr of
System Firm Energy from the operating Millstone Unit, from the 22nd day of the
continuing Event and until the End of Event, GBP's obligation to deliver
Seabrook Purchased Power shall be reduced to 25 MWhr/hr. until there is an End
of Event with respect to the appropriate Millstone Unit, at which time the
Parties' delivery obligations shall resume.

8.4      If an Event occurs with respect to both Millstone Units Nos. 2 and 3,
but not with respect to Seabrook, GBP shall continue to deliver Seabrook
Purchased Power to Select for each of the Millstone Units respective 21 day
period. On the 22nd day of continuing coincident Events for Millstone Unit Nos.
2 and 3, the obligations of the Parties to deliver Purchased Power shall be
suspended until there is an End of Event(s) for either Millstone Unit Nos. 2 or
3. Upon the End of Event for either or both of Millstone Unit Nos. 2 and 3, the
Parties' delivery obligations shall resume for either 25 MWhr/hr or 50 MWhr/hr
in accordance with Section 8.3 of this Agreement.

9.       SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS

As consideration for, and in order to secure the obligations of GBP under
Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Purchase Agreement to deliver and/or to reimburse
Select for the Prepaid Power Balance, on or before February 6, 2001, GBP shall
grant to Select, and cause its affiliate, Little Bay Power Corporation to grant
to Select, a mortgage lien and security interest in each of their respective
interests in their properties and assets at Seabrook ("Mortgage and Security
Agreements"). Such Mortgage and Security Agreements are expressly incorporated
and made a part of this Purchase Agreement and the Master Agreement. Upon GBP's
performance of its obligations to deliver and/or to reimburse Select for the
Prepaid Power Balance in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.3, Select

<PAGE>   5

shall execute and deliver all documents that may be necessary to discharge and
release the Mortgage and Security Agreements. Upon the release of the Mortgage
and Security Agreements, the parties shall agree upon and establish a mutually
acceptable level of collateral to secure any remaining obligations of the
parties for Purchased Power under this Agreement. If the parties cannot agree
upon acceptable levels of collateral, the provisions of the Master Agreement
shall apply, provided that, the Mortgage and Security Agreement will be released
and discharged notwithstanding Section 8.3 of the Master Agreement. In the event
that GBP incurs an Event of Default with respect to this Agreement prior to the
release of the Mortgage and Security Agreement, such Event of Default shall
cause a cross-default under the Mortgage and Security Agreement.

10.    OTHER

10.1     On or before March 1, 2001, the parties shall enter their respective
sales into the ISO-NE settlement system. Each party shall provide to the other
the ISO-NE contract number of such sale.

10.2     During the Term, the parties agree to provide information regarding the
operation of the Units. Notification of such information can be in the form of
telephone conversation, e-mail, or fax, and shall be made as soon as practicable
after receipt of such information. If a party becomes aware of or has knowledge
of information that an Event may occur or an Event has occurred, such party
shall communicate such information to the other party immediately, but in no
event later than one Business Day after an Event.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Purchase Power Agreement to be
duly executed as of the date first written above.

         GBP makes the following representations and covenants, which shall
continue in full force and effect until the discharge in full of the Secured
Obligations, following which the provisions of this Article IV shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect:

         4.1      TITLE TO PROPERTY. GBP hereby represents and warrants that GBP
has not granted any liens on the Mortgaged Property other than the Senior Liens
and Permitted Encumbrances. GBP has all rights in and to the Mortgaged Property
owned by it necessary to permit the use of such properties as provided for in
the JOA. GBP shall and will warrant and defend the lien of this Mortgage against
all claims and demands of other lienholders, other than the holders of the
Senior Liens and Permitted Encumbrances, and shall and will maintain and
preserve the lien of this Mortgage as a valid mortgage lien on and a priority
security interest in the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof, subject only
to the Senior Liens and Permitted Encumbrances, so

                                       5

long as any of the Secured Obligations are outstanding or undischarged, and GBP
at its expense will take or cause to be taken such action as may be necessary to
discharge or eliminate or bond any Lien on the Mortgaged Property which is
superior to this Mortgage (other than the Senior Liens and Permitted
Encumbrances) as the same shall arise at any time.

         4.2      THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. GBP hereby covenants and agrees that,
without the prior written approval of Select Energy, or as otherwise permitted
in the Purchase Agreement, GBP (i) other than in the ordinary course of business
and so long as any such transaction would not materially reduce or impair GBP's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, will not, directly or indirectly, convey,
assign, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of GBP's legal or
beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) will not create or
permit to exist any Lien on its interest in the Mortgaged Property, which is
superior to, or pari passu with, this Mortgage, other than the Senior Liens and
Permitted Encumbrances.

         4.3      RECORDATION, PERFECTION, ETC.

                  (a)      GBP at its expense will at all times cause this
         Mortgage and any amendment or modification thereof or supplement
         thereto to be recorded, registered and filed and to be kept recorded,
         registered and filed and will cause any requisite financing statement
         with respect to this Mortgage to be filed, and will pay all such
         recording, registration, filing or other similar fees, taxes and
         charges, and will comply with all such statutes and regulations as may
         be required by law in order to establish, preserve and protect the
         mortgage lien and security interest of this Mortgage on the Mortgaged
         Property and the rights of Select Energy hereunder.

                  (b)      GBP represents and warrants that its chief executive
         office (as such term is used in Article 9 of the Code) is located at
         222 International Drive, Portsmouth, NH 03801, and that its chief place
         of business (as such term is used in Article 9 of the Code) is located
         at 222 International Drive, Portsmouth, NH 03801.

                  (c)      GBP will, at the request of Select Energy made from
         time to time, promptly furnish to Select Energy a copy of any mortgaged
         property list provided under the Senior Liens.

                  (d)      GBP will not (i) maintain its chief place of business
         or its chief executive offices at a location other than the location
         thereof (or change the mailing address of its chief executive office)
         referred to in Section 4.3(b) hereof, or (ii) change its name, in each
         case without having given Select Energy reasonable prior written notice
         and having delivered to Select Energy all additional agreements,
         financing statements, instruments or other documents which in the
         reasonable judgment of Select Energy are necessary to maintain recorded
         and perfected under applicable law the mortgage lien and the security
         interest created by this Mortgage.

                  (e)      GBP will promptly furnish Select Energy with an
         informational copy of any legal opinions delivered by or on behalf of
         GBP to the holders of the Senior Liens

<PAGE>   8

         pursuant to the provisions thereof, with respect to recordations,
         registrations, filings or other actions necessary to comply with the
         requirements of the Senior Liens.

         4.4      REPORTS OF ALTERATIONS. On or before March 1 of each calendar
year, GBP shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Select Energy a copy of any
report of alterations furnished to the holders of the Senior Liens or their
successors.

         4.5      NO CLAIMS AGAINST SELECT ENERGY. Nothing contained in this
Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by Select Energy, express or
implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof, nor give GBP any right, power or authority to contract for or permit
the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or
other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against
Select Energy in respect thereof.

         4.6      LIENS; PERMITTED CONTESTS.

                  (a)      GBP will not directly or indirectly create, incur,
         assume or permit to exist, and will discharge, or promptly cause to be
         discharged, any Lien with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any part
         thereof (other than Liens voluntarily created by other owners of the
         Mortgaged Property under the JOA on their respective ownership
         interests) or its interest therein having priority over this Mortgage,
         other than the Senior Liens and Permitted Encumbrances.

                  (b)      GBP at its expense may contest by appropriate
         proceedings conducted in good faith the amount or validity or
         application, in whole or in part, of any Lien or any Legal Requirement,
         provided that (i) all proceedings to enforce the Lien against the
         Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall have been duly suspended,
         (ii) in the case of a Legal Requirement, neither GBP nor Select Energy
         would be in any danger of any liability for failure to comply
         therewith, (iii) in the case of a judgment Lien, so long as the
         judgment it secures shall have been discharged or the execution thereof
         stayed pending appeal, in either case prior to the earlier of the
         commencement of proceedings for the enforcement thereof or 30 days
         after the entry thereof, and so long as such judgment shall have been
         discharged within 30 days after the expiration of any such stay, (iv)
         GBP shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
         thereto, or shall have established and shall maintain in effect
         adequate bonds or other security to protect against the enforcement of
         such Lien, and (v) the Debt of GBP relating to such Lien shall be paid
         before the period in which to redeem the portion of the Mortgaged
         Property affected thereby has expired.

         4.7      JOINT OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT. GBP hereby covenants and agrees
that it shall timely fulfill its obligations under the JOA, unless it cannot do
so as a result of a breach of the Purchase Agreement by Select Energy.

         4.8      REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. GBP hereby covenants and agrees to

                                   ARTICLE V

                                DEFAULT: REMEDIES

         5.1      DEFAULT. The following events shall each constitute a
"Mortgage Default" under this Mortgage:

                  (a)      The failure of GBP to deliver the Prepaid Seabrook
         Power, or to make payment in lieu thereof, in accordance with Sections
         7.2 and 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement;

                  (b)      The failure of GBP to pay for the Millstone Power
         within three (3) days of the date the same becomes due and payable as
         provided in the Master Power Purchase Agreement (defined below);

                  (c)      The filing by GBP of a voluntary petition under any
         section of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or the filing by one or
         more third parties of an involuntary petition against GBP under any
         section of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which involuntary
         petition is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of the date of
         filing;

                  (d)      The failure of GBP to comply with the covenants of
         this Mortgage within thirty (30) days of receipt by GBP of written
         notice of such noncompliance from Select Energy; and

                  (e)      The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
         Purchase Agreement.

         5.2      POWER OF ENFORCEMENT. If a Mortgage Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Select Energy shall have the right--

                  (a)      except with respect to a Mortgage Default as defined
         in Section 5.1(e) hereof, to accelerate the entire remaining unpaid
         Prepaid Power Balance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) together
         with all other amounts required to be paid in conjunction with the
         payment of such Prepaid Power Balance at such time, in accordance with
         Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement; and

                  (b)      subject to Section 5.3 hereof, either with or without
         entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, to proceed
         by suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate
         proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce the performance of the Secured
         Obligations, (ii) to foreclose the mortgage lien of this Mortgage and
         to cause to be sold as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels the
         Mortgaged Property, under the judgment or decree of a court or courts
         of competent jurisdiction or under the provisions of this Mortgage,
         (iii) to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies of a secured

                                       8
<PAGE>   10

         creditor under the laws of the State of New Hampshire, (iv) to take
         possession of any or all of the Mortgaged Property, and (v) to pursue
         any other remedy available to it, as Select Energy shall deem most
         effectual for such purpose.

GBP agrees to reimburse Select Energy for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Select Energy in pursuing any enforcement remedy authorized by this
Section 5.2 or otherwise authorized under the Purchase Agreement or this
Mortgage, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees.

         5.3      POWER OF SALE; FORECLOSURE. This Mortgage is upon the
STATUTORY CONDITIONS and upon the further condition that all covenants and
agreements on the part of GBP herein undertaken shall be kept and fully and
timely performed. If a Mortgage Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Select Energy shall have the right to foreclose pursuant to the STATUTORY POWER
OF SALE (as permitted by law), in addition to all other rights and remedies
given to Select Energy as mortgagee and secured party under the laws of the
State of New Hampshire and this Mortgage. Select Energy shall have the power to
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
in one or more parcels at public or, for items not constituting real property,
private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any office of Select Energy
or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery and at such price or
prices and upon such other terms as is commercially reasonable. Any notice
required by law of sale or other disposition of any of the Mortgaged Property
not constituting real property by Select Energy shall be deemed reasonable if
given ten (10) days or more prior to the time of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made. GBP covenants that in case of a sale
in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.3, GBP, or any person in
possession, shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser at such sale, or
be summarily dispossessed, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

         5.4      RECEIPT SUFFICIENT DISCHARGE TO PURCHASE. Upon any sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant
to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise, the receipt of the officer making
the sale under judicial proceedings or of Select Energy shall be a sufficient
discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not
be obliged to see to the application thereof.

         5.5      SALE A BAR AGAINST GBP. Any sale of the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof or any interest therein pursuant to this Mortgage, whether
pursuant to lawful foreclosure or lawful power of sale, shall forever be a
perpetual bar against GBP to assert any claim of ownership to the Mortgaged
Property or such part thereof or such interest therein.

         5.6      APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. The proceeds of any sale of
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether
pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise hereunder, together with
any moneys at the time held by GBP as part of the Mortgaged Property, shall be
applied as provided in Section 6.2 hereof.

         5.7      REMEDIES, ETC. CUMULATIVE. Each right, power and remedy of
Select Energy provided for in this Mortgage or the Purchase Agreement or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to

                                       9
<PAGE>   11

every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Mortgage, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by any Person of any one or more of the
rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Mortgage or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by such Person of any or all such other rights,
powers or remedies. No provision of this Mortgage shall be deemed to grant third
party beneficiary rights to any Person, other than Select Energy.

         5.8      CERTIFICATE AS TO NO MORTGAGE DEFAULT, ETC.; INFORMATION. Each
of GBP and Select Energy will deliver to the other, within twenty (20) days
following receipt of a written request therefor, a certificate stating that it
has no knowledge after due inquiry of any Mortgage Default hereunder or, if any
Mortgage Default has occurred and is continuing, specifying the nature and
period of existence thereof and, in the case of GBP, what action GBP is taking
or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         5.9      COMPROMISE OF ACTIONS, ETC. Any action, suit or proceeding
brought by Select Energy pursuant to this Mortgage or otherwise, and any claim
made by Select Energy under this Mortgage or otherwise, may be compromised,
withdrawn or otherwise dealt with by Select Energy without any notice to or
approval of GBP.

         5.10     NO WAIVER, ETC. No failure by Select Energy to insist upon the
strict performance of any term of this Mortgage or to exercise any right, power
or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any
such term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter
this Mortgage, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any
other then existing or subsequent breach. No action or inaction on the part of
GBP shall adversely affect or limit in any way the rights of Select Energy under
this Mortgage.

         5.11     RECEIPT AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF FORECLOSURE. Receipt and
acceptance by Select Energy, after the commencement of foreclosure proceedings,
of anything of value (other than payment in full) to be applied on or to the
Secured Obligations shall not constitute a waiver of the rights of foreclosure
by Select Energy.

         5.12     TERMS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers and
remedies provided in this Mortgage may be exercised only to the extent that the
exercise thereof is not unlawful, and are intended to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or
not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under any applicable law. If
any term of this Mortgage or any application thereof shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of other terms of this Mortgage
or any other application of such terms shall in no way be affected thereby.

         5.13     LIMITATION ON INTEREST. All agreements between GBP and Select
Energy, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral,
are hereby limited so that in no contingency shall any interest contracted for,
charged or received by Select Energy exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise
be payable to Select Energy in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest
payable to Select Energy shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted Select

                                       10
<PAGE>   12

Energy under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Select Energy shall
ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of
the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be
refunded to GBP, or applied to any other lawful amounts then due and owing by
GBP to Select Energy.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                      RECEIPT, DISTRIBUTION AND APPLICATION
                    OF CASH AND PROCEEDS FROM THE COLLATERAL

         6.1      CASH HELD BY SELECT ENERGY: INVESTMENTS. Unless otherwise
provided herein, any cash held by Select Energy under this Mortgage shall (until
applied to any Secured Obligations then due) be deposited and held by Select
Energy in a separate bank deposit account as security for the Secured
Obligations. Any amounts held by Select Energy the application of which is not
then required by the provisions of this Mortgage, may be invested and reinvested
by Select Energy in money market and similar investments. All interest received
by Select Energy with respect to any such investments shall be held by Select
Energy for application in the same manner as the amounts upon the investment of
which such interest was earned and may be liquidated as necessary for the
application of such amounts so held and invested as may be required hereunder.
All commissions and other costs and expenses incurred by Select Energy in
connection with the acquisition or disposition by it of any such investments may
be deducted by Select Energy from the interest received by Select Energy with
respect thereto.

         6.2      DISTRIBUTION OF AMOUNTS RECEIVED AFTER A MORTGAGE DEFAULT. All
amounts received and realized by Select Energy after a Mortgage Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, as well as all amounts then held or thereafter
received by Select Energy as part of the Mortgaged Property, shall be delivered
to Select Energy and distributed by Select Energy first to payment of the
expenses of any foreclosure hereunder, then for payment and performance of the
Secured Obligations, and the balance to GBP. In the event of any redemption of
the Mortgaged Property by GBP pursuant to a right of redemption granted by the
law of the State of New Hampshire subsequent to commencement of foreclosure
proceedings by Select Energy, the redeeming party shall pay all advances, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Select Energy in
connection with such foreclosure proceedings to the date of redemption.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                   SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS TO THIS MORTGAGE

         7.1      CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS. This Mortgage may only be
supplemented or amended by the execution and delivery by GBP and Select Energy
of a written instrument, which shall be duly recorded in the Rockingham County
Registry of Deeds.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

acknowledge and deliver all such conveyances, mortgages, security interests,

action as Select Energy from time to time may reasonably request (a) to subject
to the mortgage lien or security interest created by this Mortgage all or any
portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) to perfect, publish notice or protect the
validity of the mortgage lien or security interest created by this Mortgage, (c)
to preserve and defend the title of GBP to the Mortgaged Property and the rights
of Select Energy therein against the claims of all Persons so long as this
Mortgage shall remain undischarged, or (d) further to effect the purposes of
this Mortgage and to carry out the terms hereof or better to assure and confirm
to Select Energy its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

contrary in this Mortgage, upon the performance in full of GBP's obligation to
deliver the Prepaid Seabrook Power to Select Energy or to make payment in lieu
thereof (together with all other amounts due with respect to the Prepaid
Seabrook Power, if any), in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the Purchase
Agreement, Select Energy will execute and deliver to GBP, at the request and
expense of GBP, a proper instrument or instruments (including without limitation
appropriate termination statements) acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge
of the mortgage lien and security interest created by this Mortgage and will
duly release, discharge, transfer and deliver to GBP, or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled thereto, the property constituting the Mortgaged Property then
held by Select Energy as mortgagee and secured party.

provisions in the Master Power Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of February
5, 2001, by and between GBP and Select Energy (the "Master Power Purchase
