EXHIBIT 10.3.08
AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE, dated as of February 4, 1994, to
the Power Purchase Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the
"Agreement") entered into as of September 20, 1993 by and between
Meridian Middleboro Limited Partnership (a/k/a Meridian
Middleboro, L.P.), a Massachusetts limited partnership, having
its principal place of business at 101 Federal Street, Suite
1900, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (hereinafter referred to as
"Seller") and Eastern Edison Company, a Massachusetts
corporation, having its principal place of business at 110
Mulberry Street, Brockton, Massachusetts 02043 (hereinafter
referred to as "Company").

WHEREAS, Seller has asked that the Agreement be amended to
permit Seller to secure the Contract Deposit with a cash escrow
account or an irrevocable letter of credit, selected at the
option of Seller; and

WHEREAS, Company will be fully secured for payment of the
Contract Deposit by accepting either a cash escrow account or an
irrevocable letter of credit; and

WHEREAS, it is deemed by the parties to be in their mutual
interest to amend the Agreement to permit Seller to furnish

either a cash escrow account or an irrevocable letter of credit
to secure the Contract DePosit.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth
above and other good and valuable consideration, the parties do
hereby agree and bind themselves as follows:

Article 7 of the Agreement is amended by deleting section
7(a) in its entirety and substituting in its place the following
new section 7(a):

Article 7. Contract DePosit
(a) Without limiting the damages or remedies available to
Company in accordance with this Agreement, Seller shall
be liable to pay Company the Contract Deposit amounts
(as shown in Appendix C) in accordance with Articles
5(d), 7(b), (c), (e), and (f) for Cancellation of the
Facility.

To secure such payment of the Contract Deposit, Seller
shall furnish Company either an irrevocable letter of
credit or a cash escrow account, selected at the option
of Seller, as set forth below.

If Seller elects to furnish an irrevocable letter of
credit, Seller shall deliver to Company, no later than
thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of this
Agreement (hereinafter referred to as Contract Deposit
Delivery Date), and thereafter no later than each
anniversary date of said contract Deposit Delivery
date, up to the Commencement Date of Operation or
termination of this Agreement, whichever may first
occur, an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of
Company as described hereinafter in this Article. Each
letter of credit shall be for a term of one (1) year
and will be equal to the maximum potential liability
that Seller will be required to pay under this Article
7 for Cancellation of the Facility during said year, as
calculated pursuant to Articles 5(d), 7(b), (c), (e),
and (f), including accumulated interest, and as shown
in Appendix C. The accumulated interest shall be
calculated based on one million three hundred-eight
thousand dollars ($1,308,000), beginning on the
Execution Date of this Agreement. Thereafter, interest
shall be compounded monthly on the first day of the
month following the Execution Date, at the monthly
interest rate of seven hundred eighty two thousandths
of one percent (0.782%). Such irrevocable letter of

credit shall include a provision for a forty-five (45)
day advance notice to Company and Seller of any
expiration of the letter of credit, and shall designate
Company as beneficiary with authority to draw drafts on
the letter of credit for amounts due Company in
accordance with Articles 5(d), 7(b), (c), (e), and (f).
In the event Company receives notice from the bank or
financial institution that issued the letter of credit
that said letter of credit will lapse or will otherwise
not be in force, Company may exercise its rights under
said letter of credit granted to Company by Seller and
also terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that
Company must first give written notice, of any such
action and permit Seller five (5) business days to
extend the term of said letter of credit, or to secure
a replacement letter of credit that is satisfactory to
Company.

If Seller elects to furnish a cash escrow account,
Seller shall establish by no later than one (1)
business day following the receipt of a fully executed
escrow agreement an interest bearing escrow account
(hereinafter referred to as "Escrow Account") with a
banking institution reasonably acceptable to Company
and shall have deposited therein funds in an amount no
less than one hundred thirty-five thousand five hundred

eighteen dollars ($135,518.00). The Escrow Account shall be
established for the benefit of Company in the event of
Cancellation of the Facility. At least five (5) business
days prior to the first day of each month, beginning five
(5) business days prior to March 1, 1994, Seller shall
maintain on deposit in the Escrow Account an amount equal to
the maximum potential liability that Seller will be required
to pay under this Article 7 for Cancellation of the Facility
during the following month, as calculated pursuant to
Articles 5(d), 7(b), (c), (e) and (f), including accumulated
interest, as shown in Appendix C. Seller may, at any time
and from time to time, withdraw from the Escrow Account any
amounts in excess of the Contract Deposit.
Seller may at any time elect to substitute a letter of
credit for an Escrow Account or an Escrow Account for a letter of
credit to secure the Contract Deposit, provided that Company
shall receive notice of such substitution at least five (5)
business days in advance thereof and provided further that at no
point in time shall Seller fail to fully secure the Contract
Deposit. Upon the substitution of a letter of credit for the
Escrow Account, Company shall promptly release all funds in the
Escrow Account to Seller.

Except as expressly amended, the terms of the Agreement are
unchanged and the Agreement is in all other respects ratified and
confirmed.

This Amendment and the Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties hereto, their successors and assigns.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, the terms used herein
shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment
as of the date first written above.

ESCROW AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this 4 day of February, 1994, by and among
Meridian Middleboro Limited Partnership (a/k/a Meridian
Middleboro, L.P.), of 101 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02110 ("Meridian"), Eastern Edison Company, of 110 Mulberry

Bank, N.A. of One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110
(the "Bank" or "Escrow Agent").
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Power Purchase Agreement, dated
September 30, 1993 between Meridian and EECO, as amended (the
"Purchase Agreement"), Meridian has agreed to construct and
operate a cogeneration facility and to sell the electricity
generated at the facility to EECO; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition of the Purchase Agreement that
collateral security be provided by Meridian to EECO to secure the
payment of the Contract Deposit (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) and EECO has agreed that such collateral may be
provided by Meridian by the payment of cash into an escrow
account as provided herein; and
WHEREAS, Meridian and EECO wish to establish a method for
disbursement of the escrowed funds to the parties entitled
thereto; and
WHEREAS, the Bank hereby agrees to act as Escrow Agent to
receive and pay said funds as is hereinafter provided.
NOW T~EREFORE, it is agreed by the parties hereto that the
Bank will act as Escrow Agent in connection with said Purchase
Agreement upon the following terms and conditions:

1. The Bank hereby agrees to receive and hold all funds
deposited with the Bank pursuant hereto including, without limi-
tation, interest earned thereon until distributed by the Bank as
set forth below (the "Escrowed Funds") in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof, and to deliver said funds upon the
performance of the conditions hereinafter set forth. Meridian
and EECO confirm that the initial deposit in the Escrow Account
shall be $135,518 and that incremental deposits shall be made to
the Escrow Account by Meridian in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement in the amounts set forth on the column (H)
of the Appendix C to the Purchase Agreement which is attached
hereto.
2. The Bank shall deposit the Escrowed Funds in a segre-
gated interest bearing account at the Bank (the "Account"). The
Escrowed Funds shall be held in trust by the Bank, as agent for,
and for the benefit of Meridian and EECO, subject to the terms of
this Agreement.
3. Unless otherwise directed by the written instructions of
Meridian, the Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Funds only in
direct, short term obligations of the United States Government,
or negotiable certificates of deposits of the Bank. The income
of the Escrowed Funds during the term of this Agreement shall be
attributable to Meridian for tax purposes for each year and shall
be distributed by the Escrow Agent to Meridian periodically on
written request to the Bank, copied to EECO, provided that at no
time shall any such distribution result in the amount of Escrowed
Funds being less than the amount required for such period as set

forth in column (H) to the Appendix C to the Purchase Agreement
attached hereto.
4. The Bank shall pay all or a portion of the Escrowed
Funds to EECO upon receipt of the following:
(a) A Letter of Demand dated the date of the request
signed by an Officer of EECO or Montaup Electric
Company in the form of Attachment I hereto, and
(b) A copy of a letter informing Meridian of EECO's
intent to make a claim under this Escrow Agreement
and showing the amount due and owing of such claim
addressed as follows: Meridian Middleboro Limited
Partnership, 101 Federal Street, Suite l900,
Boston, MA 02110, along with a copy of the receipt
evidencing receipt of such letter by Meridian at
least two (2) business days prior to the date of
receipt by Bank of the Letter of Demand.
5. In the event that no demand is made by EECO or Montaup
Electric Company in accordance with Section 4 above, the Bank
shall pay all or such portion of the Escrowed Funds to EECO
and/or Meridian upon receipt of joint written instructions of
EECO and Meridian that such funds may be paid or upon the receipt
of a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, the time for perfection of an appeal of such order,
decree or judgment having expired. Such instructions or order
shall specify the amount to be paid to each party, as well as the
method of payment. Upon distribution of all of the Escrowed
Funds in accordance herewith, this Agreement and the parties'

obligations hereunder (except as set forth in Section 9 below)
shall terminate.
6. The Bank shall not be required to take notice of any
terms of any other agreement or any rights claimed with respect
to the Escrowed Funds unless expressly stated in writing herein.
7. Meridian agrees to pay the Bank a $500 Escrow Agent fee
upon signing of this Agreement. In addition, Meridian agrees to
pay the Bank a $500 annual administration fee on each anniversary
of the date hereof. Any legal fees incurred by the Bank in
connection with the resolution of any claim by any party
hereunder shall be billed to and paid by Meridian, which legal
fees are in addition to the escrow and administration fees
described above. All fees of the Bank for its services hereunder
and for legal services shall be payable promptly by Meridian in
accordance with this Section 7.
8. In performing any of its duties hereunder the Bank shall
not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or
expenses except for Bank's gross negligence or wilful misconduct
and Bank shall accordingly not incur any such liability with
respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon
advice of its counsel given with respect to any question relating
to the duties and responsibilities of the Bank under this
Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon
any instrument, including the written advice provided for herein,
not only as to such instrument's due execution and the validity
and effectiveness of such instrument's provisions but also as to
the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein,

which the Bank shall, in good faith, believe to be genuine, to
have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons and
to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.
9. Meridian hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Bank against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements, which may be imposed upon the Bank or incurred by
the Bank in connection with its acceptance of appointment as
Escrow Agent hereunder or the performance of its duties
hereunder, including any litigation arising from this Agreement
or involving the subject matter hereof or the funds deposited
hereunder. Such indemnification shall survive the termination of
this Agreement or the resignation of the Escrow Agent.
10. The Bank may at any time resign as Escrow Agent here-
under by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of resig-
nation to EECO and Meridian. Prior to the effective date of the
resignation of Escrow Agent as specified in such notice, EECO and
Meridian will issue to the Bank a written instruction authorizing
redelivery of the Escrowed Funds to a bank or trust company that
they select. Such bank or trust company shall have a principal
office in Boston, Massachusetts, and shall have capital, surplus
and undivided profits in excess of $50,000,000. If no successor
Escrow Agent is named by EECO and Meridian, the Bank may appoint
a successor Escrow Agent satisfying the foregoing conditions or
apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a
successor Escrow Agent provided that any successor Escrow Agent
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

- -- 5 --

11. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute
arise with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of
possession, and/or disposition of the Escrowed Funds, or should
any claim be made upon the Escrowed Funds by a third party, upon
the Bank's receipt of written notice of such dispute or claim by
one of the parties hereto or by a third party, the Bank is
authorized and directed to retain in its possession as custodian
without liability to anyone the remaining principal balance of
the Escrowed Funds until such dispute shall have been settled
either by the mutual written agreement of the parties involved or
by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, the time for perfection of an appeal of such order,
decree or judgment having expired; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing the Bank shall honor a request by
EECO or Montaup Electric Company under Section 4 hereof and shall
be fully protected in doing so as provided in this Agreement.
The Bank may, but shall be under no duty whatsoever to, institute
or defend any legal proceedings which relate to the Escrowed
Funds.
