                      [BAYCORP HOLDINGS, LTD. LETTERHEAD]

                                 April 24, 2002

Mr. Michael R. Latina

North Haven, CT 06473

Dear Michael:

         This letter shall serve to confirm our agreement with respect to the
retention of Michael R. Latina ("Consultant") by BayCorp Holdings, Ltd. (the
"Company") to provide assistance with respect to the Company's evaluation and
possible pursuit of acquiring and consolidating smaller, regulated utilities
into larger operating entities. Consultant shall provide the services for such
purpose. The scope of the services hereunder shall include, but not be limited
to, assisting the Company's personnel and other consultants in preparing
financial analyses and other information related to this opportunity and
participating in meetings with existing and potential investors. Consultant will
be expected to commit approximately 50% of his business time to this endeavor
during the term of our agreement. Consultant is also expected to be available
for meetings and telephone conferences as reasonably requested.

         As a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and in order to
protect against any suggestion of a potential conflict of interest, the
Consultant understands and acknowledges that it may be required that he recuse
himself from certain deliberations and decisions of the Board related to the
Board's decision whether to pursue specific acquisitions or transactions on
which the Consultant has provided services to Company.

         The Company agrees to pay Consultant a $10,000 per month retainer for a
guaranteed period of six months, commencing on April 15, 2002 and ending on
October 15, 2002. Such payments shall be made monthly in advance on the
fifteenth day of each month beginning with April 15, 2002. Since Company Board
approval is required for this engagement, Consultant agrees to the first payment
being made on April 24, following such approval. Consultant will be promptly
reimbursed for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Consultant in the performance of services hereunder. Unless a subsequent written
arrangement is made to the contrary, the Company will not be liable to
Consultant for any expenses incurred by Consultant after October 15, 2002.

         Any dispute regarding the payment of monies by the Company to
Consultant shall be resolved informally between the parties. If an informal
resolution cannot be made within thirty (30) days of written notice, each party
agrees that the dispute will be settled by arbitration in accordance with the
procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Both parties shall share the
fees and expenses of arbitration.

         The Company and Consultant agree that Consultant's services hereunder
are of an independent contractor nature and shall not be construed as an
employment relationship between Company and Consultant.

         On behalf of the Company, I look forward to working with you on this
important engagement. Please acknowledge your acceptance of the terms of the
engagement by signing in the space below.

                                                     Best regards,

                                                     /s/ Frank W. Getman Jr.

                                                     Frank W. Getman Jr.
                                                     President and CEO

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

     THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made this 10th day of
September, 2001, is entered into by Applix, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation
with its principal place of business at 112 Turnpike Road, Westboro, MA 01581

     In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   SERVICES. The Consultant agrees to perform such consulting services to
and for the Company as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the
Company, including, but not limited to, providing consulting services related to
strategic corporate alternatives.

     2.   TERM AND TERMINATION. The Consultant shall perform services under this
Agreement for a term that commenced on or about June 1, 2001 and shall continue
until the consummation of a sale or merger of the Company, provided that either
party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to
the other party. In the event of termination, the Consultant shall be entitled
to payment for expenses paid or incurred prior to the effective date of
termination in accordance with the terms of this agreement. Such payments shall
constitute full settlement of any and all claims of the Consultant against the
Company with respect to this Agreement.

     3.   COMPENSATION. As compensation for the Consultant's performance of
services under this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Consultant, within
30 days after the date of this Agreement, 35,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, $.0025 par value per share. Such shares shall be issued under the
Company's 1994 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company shall also reimburse the
Consultant for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred or paid by the
Consultant in connection with, or related to, the performance of his services
under this Agreement. The Consultant shall submit to the Company itemized
monthly statements, in a form satisfactory to the Company, of such expenses
incurred in the previous month.

     4.   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS. The Consultant shall perform all
services under this Agreement as an "independent contractor" and not as an
employee or agent of the Company. The Consultant is not authorized to assume or
create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of, or in
the name of, the Company or to bind the Company in any manner.

     5.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement, including without limitation the Consulting Agreement dated June 7,

shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or
