                                  IDACORP, Inc.

                 2000 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND COMPENSATION PLAN

                 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (performance)

     It is understood and agreed that the Award of Restricted Stock evidenced by
the Restricted Stock Award Agreement to which this is annexed is subject to the
following additional terms and conditions:

1. Forfeiture and Transfer Restrictions.

     A.   Forfeiture Restrictions. Except as provided otherwise in Section 2 of
          this Annex A, if the Participant's [employment][service] is terminated
          during the Period of Restriction, the Shares of Restricted Stock
          subject to this Award shall be forfeited as of the date of
          termination.

     B.   Transfer Restrictions. The Restricted Stock may not be sold,
          transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated
          during the Period of Restriction.

2. Termination of [Employment][Service]. If the Participant's
[employment][service] is terminated during the Period of Restriction (i) due to
the Participant's death or Disability or (ii) due to the Participant's
retirement with the approval of the Committee, the Restricted Stock shall vest,
if at all, on the Vesting Date in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth
in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, but the number of Shares that vests
shall be reduced by multiplying the total number of Shares of Restricted Stock
that vested times a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of
months (with any partial month treated as a whole month) remaining in the Period
of Restriction as of the date of such termination of [employment][service] and
the denominator of which is the total number of whole months in the Period of
Restriction. For purposes of this Section 2, determination of whether a
Participant's employment is terminated due to the Participant's retirement shall
be made in the sole discretion of the Committee and the Committee's
determination shall be final.

3. Vesting of Restricted Stock. Except as provided otherwise in Article 14 of
the Plan and Sections 1 or 2 of this Annex A, the Restricted Stock shall vest in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement. Any Shares that do not vest shall be forfeited.

4. Voting Rights, Dividends and Custody. The Participant shall be entitled to
vote and receive regular cash dividends paid with respect to the Shares subject
to this Award during the Period of Restriction; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Participant vote or receive

dividends paid with respect to any forfeited Shares on or after the date of
forfeiture. The Shares subject to this Award shall be registered in the name of
the Participant and held in the Company's custody during the Period of
Restriction.

5. Tax Withholding. The Company may make such provisions as are necessary for
the withholding of all applicable taxes on the Restricted Stock, in accordance
with Article 16 of the Plan. With respect to the minimum statutory tax
withholding required with respect to the Restricted Stock, the Participant may
elect to satisfy such withholding requirement by having the Company withhold
Shares from this Award.

6. Ratification of Actions. By accepting this Award or other benefit under the
Plan, the Participant and each person claiming under or through him shall be
conclusively deemed to have indicated the Participant's acceptance and
ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan or the Award by
IDACORP, Inc.

7. Notices. Any notice hereunder to IDACORP, Inc. shall be addressed to its
office at 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho 83702; Attention: Corporate
Secretary, and any notice hereunder to the Participant shall be addressed to him
at the address specified on the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, subject to the
right of either party to designate at any time hereafter in writing some other
address.

8. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given them in the Plan.

9. Governing Law and Severability. To the extent not preempted by Federal law,
the Restricted Stock Award Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflicts of
law provisions. In the event any provision of the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement, and the Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
