REFERENCE:

(a) Letter from Mr. M. J. Wallace (CEG) to Document Control Desk (NRC),

dated January 22, 2009, "Application for an Order Approving License Transfers and Conforming License Amendment Request" On Page 14 of Attachment (1) to Reference (a), we stated "Consistent with CENG's current financial assurance mechanisms, as well as prior NRC Orders approving license transfers, CEG and EDF Development will also deploy an additional credit support measure involving one or more support agreements available to each operating subsidiary." We also stated "We will submit the form of the new support agreements to the NRC for review by February 27, 2009."

Copies of the forms of two support agreements are included as Attachments (1) and (2) to this letter.

Please note that the licenses for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 have a condition [2.D(12) for Unit I and 2.C(15) for Unit 2] to "... take no action to void, cancel, or modify any intercompany credit agreement referenced above, without the prior written consent of the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation." Attachment (1) and Attachment (2) of this correspondence are submitted in accordance with those license conditions, because the new support agreement from CEG will terminate the existing intercompany credit agreements under the provisions of Section 12 of Attachment (2).

NOW, THEREFORE, in considerati6n of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Availability of Funding. Upon the written request of a Subsidiary Licensee, EDFI shall provide or cause to be provided to such Subsidiary Licensee such funds as the Subsidiary Licensee determines to be necessary to pay Operating Expenses or meet NRC Requirements at the same time or times as the same amount is paid by CEG under the CEG Agreement; provided, however, that EDFI's maximum liability to provide funding hereunder shall not exceed the lesser of (x) 49.99 percent of the total funding required by the Subsidiary Licensee pursuant to this Support Agreement and the CEG Agreement, or (y) $144.971 million cumulatively over the life of this Support Agreement, unless, and to the extent that, advances of funds under this Support Agreement have been reimbursed in whole or part through repayments by the Subsidiary Licensee to EDFI. As such, the aggregate amount outstanding under this Support Agreement at any one time shall not exceed $144.971 million, and this shall be the maximum unreimbursed amount EDFI is obligated to provide under this Support Agreement.
2. Request for an Advance. If the funding mechanisms as described under the Operating Agreement, at any time, are not sufficient to allow a Subsidiary Licensee to meet its needs, the Subsidiary Licensee may submit to EDFI a request for an advance of funds under this Support Agreement. Each request for an advance of funds under this Support Agreement shall be made not later than noon Eastern Time (USA) on the tenth business day prior to the proposed drawdown by notice from the Subsidiary Licensee to EDFI (pursuant to procedures that may be changed from time to time by mutual agreement) specifying the amount of the advance and a certification that such advance is for the purpose specified in Section 6.
3. Substitution. EDFI can terminate funding provided under this Support Agreement upon 45 days' written notice to the Subsidiary Licensee if EDFI has procured a substitute loan facility and/or letter of credit for the Subsidiary Licensee that is mutually agreed to by Page 2 of 5

The interest rate applicable to any advance and the time of payment shall be noted in a note or other writing. Such notation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
5. Optional Prepayments. The Subsidiary Licensee, at its option, may repay all or any part of the principal amount outstanding from time to time without penalty or premium, upon notice to EDFI made not later than noon Eastern Time (USA) on at least the second business day prior to such prepayment (which notice, if oral, shall be confirmed promptly in writing); provided, however, that if the interest rate is LIBOR based, a prepayment penalty may be assessed against the Subsidiary Licensee. Any prepayment penalty would be mutually established by EDFI and CEG at the time of an advance. EDFI, at its option, may waive such notice requirements as to any prepayment.
6. Use of Proceeds. In order to provide financial assurance, any advance may be used by a Subsidiary Licensee only to meet its approved Operating Expenses and NRC Requirements, including payments for nuclear property damage insurance and a retrospective premium pursuant to Title 10, Part 140, Section 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 140.21).
7. No Guarantee. This Support Agreement is not, and nothing herein contained, and no action taken pursuant hereto by EDFI shall be construed as, or deemed to constitute, a direct or indirect guarantee by EDFL to any person of the payment of the Operating Expenses or of any liability or obligation of any kind or character whatsoever of the Subsidiary Licensees. This Agreement may, however, be relied upon by the NRC in determining the financial qualifications of each Subsidiary Licensee to hold the operating license for a Facility.
8. Waivers. EDFI hereby waives any failure or delay on the part of the Subsidiary Licensees in asserting or enforcing any of their rights or in making any claims or demands hereunder.
