                 Amendment dated as of April 1, 1993 and the Second
                 Amendment dated as of October 28, 1994 (the
                 "Credit Agreement"), among Connecticut Yankee
                 Atomic Power Company (the "Borrower"), the lenders
                 named therein (the "Lenders"), Toronto Dominion
                 (Texas), Inc. as agent for the Lenders (in such
                 capacity, the "Agent") and The Toronto-Dominion
                 Bank as issuing bank (in such capacity, the
                 "Issuing Bank").  

            A.   The Borrower has requested that certain provisions
  of the Credit Agreement be amended as set forth herein, and the
  Lenders, the Agent and the Issuing Bank are willing to amend the
  Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms and subject to the
  conditions provided herein.  

            B.   Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
  herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit
  Agreement as amended hereby.

            Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements
  contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
  sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the
  parties hereto hereby agree as follows:  

            SECTION 1.  Extension and Adjustment of Commitments. 
  (a) As of the Effective Date (as defined below) the Commitment
  Expiration Date is hereby extended to August 14, 1998, and such
  extension shall for all purposes of the Credit Agreement be
  deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Credit
  Agreement and to have become effective on August 14, 1995.  

            (b)  As of the Effective Date the schedule of
  Commitments and Commitment Percentages contained in Section
  3.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and the
  information set forth in Exhibit A hereto will be substituted
  therefore in order to reflect (i) the addition of the Commitment
  of Societe Generale and (ii) the decrease of the Commitments of
  The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and
  Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale by $5,000,000, $10,000,000
  and $5,000,000, respectively.  

            (c)  As of the Effective Date, the obligations of the
  Borrower as to principal outstanding under the Credit Agreement
  shall, without further action by any party, be deemed outstanding
  under this Amendment, and the Lenders shall make and acquire at
  fact amount assignments of such obligations in such amounts as
  appropriate in order that such obligations will be held ratably
  in accordance with the Lender's Commitments (the purchase price
  for each such assignment to be paid in immediately available
  funds). 
<PAGE>


            SECTION 2.  Adjustment of Lenders' Commitment Fees. 
  Section 3.5(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as of
  the Effective Date by deleting the words ".25 of 1%" in the first
  sentence thereof and substituting therefore the words ".20 of 1%.

            SECTION 3.  Notes.  (a)  Exhibit A to the Credit
  Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with Exhibit B hereto.

            (b)  The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each
  Lender a duly executed Revolving Credit Note, with blanks
  appropriately filled, payable to such Lender's order, in
  substantially the form of Exhibit B to this Amendment and in a
  principal amount equal to such Lender's Commitment after giving
  effect to this Amendment.  Promptly after receipt of such Note,
  each Lender shall cancel the Note previously held by it and
  deliver such cancelled Note to the Borrower.  

            SECTION 4.  Conditions to Effectiveness.  This
  Amendment shall take effect immediately upon the satisfaction of
  each of the following conditions (the "Effective Date"):

                 (a)  the Agent shall have received duly

            Lenders, the Agent and the Issuing Bank.  

                 (b)  Each Lender shall have received the

            credit events specified in Section 5.2 of the
            Credit Agreement shall be satisfied as of the
            Effective Date as if a Credit Event were
            occurring on the Effective Date.

                 (d)  The Agent shall have received such other
            documents, instruments and certificates as it
            shall reasonably request, including an opinion,
            addressed to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders,
            of Jeffrey C. Miller, Assistant General Counsel of
            Northeast Utilities Service Company, to the effect
            that this Amendment and the Notes delivered
            pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto have been duly
            executed and delivered by the Borrower and
            constitute valid and enforceable obligations
            hereof.

                 (e)  All legal matters incident to this
            Amendment shall be satisfactory to the Agent and

            notice of a Borrowing shall be pending, on the
            Effective Date.

  Borrower represents and warrants to each other party hereto that,
  after giving effect to this Amendment, this Amendment and the
  Notes delivered pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Amendment have
  been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower, and
  this Amendment, the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment
  and each such Note constitutes a legal, valid and binding
  obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its
  terms.

            SECTION 6.  Effect of Amendment.  Except as
  specifically amended or modified hereby, the Credit Agreement
  shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the
  provisions thereof.  As used therein, the terms "Agreement",

  out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Agent in connection with
  the preparation of this Amendment and the transactions
  contemplated hereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements
  and other charges of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel to the
  Agent.

            SECTION 8.  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be
  executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
  executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of
  which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
  instrument.  Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature
  page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as
  effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

            SECTION 9.  Governing Law.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE
  GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
  STATE OF NEW YORK.
