SECOND AMENDMENT
TO THE
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
AND CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF
PENOBSCOT ENERGY RECOVERY COMPANY, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
This Second Amendment dated as of September 29, 1997 amends the Second Amended
and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership of Penobscot
Energy Recovery Company, Limited Partnership originally entered into as of May
15, 1986 and amended by First Amendment dated June 14, 1991 (the "Partnership
Agreement"). The purpose of this Second Amendment is to provide for the partial
transfer of the limited partnership interest held by The Prudential Insurance
Company of America ("PRU") to PERC Management Company Limited Partnership
("PERC") pursuant to a Purchase and Option Agreement between PRU and PERC dated
September, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement") and to make certain conforming
changes to the Partnership Agreement.
The Partners hereby agree as follows:
1. The Partners confirm that effective May 18, 1994 the Partnership name
was changed to Penobscot Energy Recovery Company, Limited Partnership.
2. The Partners consent to the transfer by PRU to PERC of a Seventy-Seven
Percent (77%) interest in PRU's right, title and interest as a Limited Partner
in the Partnership and under the Partnership Agreement, which constitutes a
49.50002% interest in the entire Partnership in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement and in granting such consent the Partners hereby (a) waive the
provisions of subsections 10.2 (a) (ii), (a) (iv) and (b) (i) to the extent such
provisions may still be applicable to, or binding upon, PRU and (b) consent to
the admission of PERC as a new Limited Partner under Section 10.4. PERC
represents that the transfer of all of PRU's interests to PERC shall not prevent
the Project from being owned and operated as a Qualifying Facility.
3. Section 1.56 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as follows:
1.56. LP Sharing Ratios. "LP Sharing Ratios" shall mean, with

Partnerships address to PERC Management Company Limited Partnership, 000 Xxxx

7. Article 3 of the Partnership Agreement is amended by adding thereto new
Sections 3.16 and 3.17:
3.16 No Capital Contributions Due from PRU. The Partners,
jointly and severally, acknowledge that upon the effective date of
this Second Amendment, PRU shall have no further obligation to make
Capital Contributions, Subordinated Loans or other advances to the
Partnership and shall be, and hereby is, released of any and all
obligations to the Partnership under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4
of the Partnership Agreement. PRU and PERC have each entered into a
separate Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Assumption
Agreement") whereby PERC has assumed all of PRU's obligations under
the separate PRU Capital Contribution Agreement as defined in
Section 1.74 of the Partnership Agreement and PRU has been released
from those obligations.
3.17 Assumption of Obligations of PRU. From and after the
effective date of the Assumption Agreement, PERC shall assume and be
responsible for any and all obligations to the Partnership of PRU
under Sections 3.2 and 3.4 of the Partnership Agreement.
8. Article 8 of the Partnership Agreement is amended by adding thereto the
following new Section 8.3:
8.3 Preservation of Indemnification. The rights of PRU to
indemnification under Article 8 are vested and shall survive and
remain binding on the Partnership notwithstanding consummation of
the transfer affected pursuant to this Second Amendment and
notwithstanding consummation of the anticipated complete withdrawal
of PRU as a Limited Partner pursuant the exercise by PERC of the
Option granted to PERC under the Purchase Agreement.

to the complete withdrawal of PRU as a limited partner and authorize and direct

deemed necessary or appropriate to give effect to such withdrawal, including
such amendments as are necessary to reflect accurately the LP Sharing Ratios
applicable from and after such withdrawal.

of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, as amended
hereby.
11. The terms used herein, unless otherwise specifically defined, shall
have the meanings provided in the Partnership Agreement. Except as amended
hereby, the Partnership Agreement remains in full force and effect.
