TORONTO, ONTARIO, Sep 10, 2008 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- TONBF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Tonbridge Power Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TBZ) ("Tonbridge" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary as borrower, Montana Alberta Tie Ltd.

Availability of the Prepayment will be subject to conditions precedent.

The letter of intent also calls for NaturEner to arrange with an investment grade counterparty to provide 10 years of investment grade credit support for its payment obligations.
