Pursuant to the settlement agreement between Algonquin and NSTAR

2 Loop will provide NSTAR additional capacity to meet increased demand
and to ensure reliability of service. The J-2 Loop will have a total
design capacity of 140,000 Dth/d, and a maximum allowable operating
pressure of 433 psi. Algonquin proposes to implement initial Section

by the J-2 Loop project has been subscribed by NSTAR under the J-2
Facility Firm Service Agreement, which specifies a long-term firm
commitment for 20 years from the in-service date of the project.
Algonquin proposes a service date of September 1, 2009.
