Re:' Amendment'No. 4 to Indemnity Aareement No. B-106 Gentlemen:.

2 This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the execution and delivery of Amendment No. 4 (the " Fourth 4

Amendment") to the Indemnity Agreement No. B-106, dated as of-December 18, 1985, as heretofore amended (the " Indemnity.

Agreement"), between the twelve Seabrook Owners, acting through New-Hampshire Yankee Division (the " Division") of Public Service Company of New Hampshire.as agent, and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.-

The Seabrook-Owners are all named as licensees in' Facility Operating License No. NPF-86.

We have acted as counsel for Public Service. Company of New Hampshire.("Public Service"),:and more.recently for the Division,-

in-their respective and successive capacities as agent for the

'Seabrook Owners under the Agreement for Joint Ownership,-

Construction.and Operation of New Hampshire Nuclear Units, dated as,of May 1, 1973, _as amended (the " Joint Ownership Agreement").

.We are-familiar with the actions taken by Public Service to establish'the Division and with the authorizing actions taken by the'Seabrook Owners, including Public Service,.with respect-to 1

B the delegation of authority to the Division.

We have reviewed an

~

executed copy of the Indemnity Agreement, including all

-amendments thereto, and'such other material as we deemed necessary for purposes.of this opinion.

+

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.

The Division has been duly established within the corporate structure of Public Service.

The Joint Ownership p

Agreement grants Public Service authority to act as agent for the Seabrook owners in connection with transactions such as those

~

evidenced by the Indemnity Agreement, and that authority has, in 9003290095 900321

' United' States Nuclear Regulatory March 20, 1990 Commission accordance with the directive of the Joint owners, been duly.

-delegated to the Division.

2.

Subject to the qualification stated in the last paragraph hereof, the Fourth Amendment to the Indemnity Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Seabrook Owners, acting through the Division as their agent under the Joint ownership Agreement, and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of the Seabrook owners, enforceable in_

accordance with its terms..

l our opinion as to the enforceability of the Fourth l Amendment to the Indemnity Agreement is qualified to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and that general equitable principles may limit the right to obtain the remedy of specific performance of obligations thereunder or other equitable remedies.
