the Petersburg-Ratts Line.

Facilities Obligations Common To The Parties

1.06  Subject to accidents, strikes, litigation, delays in securing
delivery of equipment or other similar or dissimilar causes beyond the
reasonable control of the parties, including the procuring of the
necessary materials and labor and the obtaining of all the necessary
governmental authorizations and permits approving the use of such labor
and materials, the installation of the facilities to be provided by the
parties, as hereinabove described, shall be completed and in service on
or before June 1, 1982, (the "In-Service Date").  Should said facilities
be delayed beyond said date due to any of the aforesaid causes, it shall
nevertheless be completed as soon thereafter as practicable.

1.07  The parties shall cooperate to assure the maximum practicable
coordination of design and installation of the facilities to be installed
by each of them with new and existing facilities of the other.  Each
party agrees to promptly notify the other party of any potential delay in
the In-Service Date.

Synchronous Operation

1.08  When the installation of the facilities as provided for under this
Article 1 is completed, the systems of the parties shall be connected at
the Interconnection Point and thereafter throughout the duration of this
agreement, subject to the provisions of this Section 1.08 and Section
1.09, such systems shall be operated in continuous synchronism through
such line.  If synchronous operation of the systems through such line
becomes interrupted either manually or automatically because of reasons
beyond the control of either party or because of scheduled maintenance
that has been agreed to by both parties, the parties shall cooperate to
remove the cause of such interruption as soon as practicable and restore
such line to normal operating condition.  Neither party shall be
responsible to the other party for any damage or loss of revenue caused
by any such interruption.

1.09  The parties hereto agree that either party may interrupt
synchronous operation through this interconnection if either determines
that its facilities may be damaged due to excessive loadings, and such
loadings may be reduced or alleviated by such interruption.  If such
interruption occurs, the parties shall cooperate to remove the cause of
such loadings as soon as practicable and restore such interconnection to
normal operating condition.  Neither party shall be responsible to the
other party for damage or loss of revenue caused by such interruption.

The parties hereto further agree to study and negotiate the installation,
ownership, and cost of any additional equipment necessary to effect a
long term solution to any such excessive loading herein described in the
event either party determines that this interconnection contributes to
the excess loading and requests such negotiation.

Maintenance of Equipment

1.10  The parties hereto shall each keep the lines, together with all
associated equipment and appurtenances, described in Article 1 hereof
that are located on their respective sides of the Interconnection Point
in a suitable condition of repair at all times, each at its own expense,
in order that said lines will operate in a reliable  and satisfactory
manner and in order that reduction in the capacity of said lines will be
avoided to the extent practicable.

1.11  The parties hereto understand that IPL and Hoosier each now has its
transmission system interconnected with the electric transmission systems
of other electric utility companies and each has contracted for other
such interconnections and may hereafter during the term of this agreement
desire to make additional interconnections with such companies or with
other electric utility companies.  Each such additional interconnection
with another electric utility system shall be discussed between the
parties and if, in the opinion of either party, the establishment of such
interconnection will cause transfer of power or reactive power through
the system of either party during normal parallel operation to or from
the systems with which either party proposes to add an interconnection to
its system, then before any such additional interconnection is made,
joint load studies shall be carried on to determine the effect which such
interconnection will have on the transmission systems of the parties.  If
as the results of such studies it is the reasonable opinion of one of the
parties that the proposed additional interconnection would cause
unreasonable transfers of power or reactive power through the electric
transmission system of such party or otherwise impair the ability of such
party to carry out its own obligations, then the party proposing such
additional interconnection shall, before such proposed interconnection is
placed in service:

     1.111     agree to compensate the other party for the use of that
     portion of its facilities determined to be dedicated to the new
     situation caused by the establishment of the proposed interconnection;
     and/or

     1.112     install and/or remove such equipment as may be reasonably
     necessary to avoid such unreasonable transfers of power or reactive
     power; or

     1.113     abandon the establishment of such additional interconnection.

                            ARTICLE 3

                       SERVICE CONDITIONS

Control of System Disturbance

3.01  The parties hereto shall maintain and operate their respective
systems in accordance with sound operating practice so as to minimize the
likelihood of disturbance originating in either system which might cause
impairment to the service of the system of the other party or of any
system interconnected with the system of the other party.

Control of Kilovar Exchange

3.02  It is intended that neither party hereto shall be obligated to
deliver kilovars for the benefit of the other party; also that neither
party shall be obligated to receive kilovars when to do so may introduce
objectionable operating conditions on its system.  The Operating
Committee shall be responsible for the establishment from time to time of
operating procedures and schedules, in respect of carrying kilovar loads
by one system for the other in order to secure adequate service and
economical use of the facilities of both systems and in respect of proper
charges, if any, for the use of facilities carrying kilovar loads. In
discharging such duties the Operating Committee shall recognize that in
the transmission and delivery of power and energy hereunder the carrying
of kilovar loads by either of the parties, in harmony with sound
engineering principles of transmission operation with their systems
interconnected, is subject to numerous variables contingent upon loading
and operating conditions existing simultaneously on both of their
systems.  The operating procedures and schedules so set up by the
Operating Committee shall be in accord with such principles and shall
require each of the parties to carry kilovar loads at such times and in
such amounts as will be equitable to both parties.

Control of Unscheduled Power Deliveries

3.03  The parties hereto shall exercise reasonable foresight in carrying
out all matters related to the providing and operating of their
respective electric power resources so as to minimize to the extent
practicable deviations between actual and scheduled deliveries of
electric power and energy between their systems.  The parties shall
provide and install on their respective systems such communication and
telemetering facilities as are essential to so minimize such deviations;
and, in developing and executing operating procedures that will enable
the parties to avoid, to the extent practicable, deviations from
scheduled deliveries, shall fully cooperate with each other and with
third parties whose systems are either directly or indirectly
interconnected with the systems of the parties and who of necessity,
together with the parties, must unify their efforts cooperatively to
achieve effective and efficient interconnected operation.  The parties
recognize, however, that, despite their best efforts to prevent the same,
unscheduled deliveries of electric energy from one party to the other may
occur.  In such events, electric energy delivered hereunder shall be
settled for either by the return of equivalent energy or by payment of
the out-of-pocket cost (such  cost being at the delivery point or points,
set forth in Section 4.01 of this agreement, taking into account
electrical losses incurred from the source or sources of such energy to
said delivery point or points) of electric energy delivered hereunder to
the supplying party plus ten percent of such cost.  If equivalent energy
is returned, it shall be returned at times when the load conditions of
the party receiving it are substantially equivalent to the load
conditions of such party at the time the energy for which it is returned
was delivered or, if such party elects to have equivalent energy returned
under different conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts, to be
agreed upon by the Operating Committee, as will compensate for the
difference in conditions.

                            ARTICLE 4

         DELIVERY POINTS, METERING POINTS, AND METERING

Delivery Points

devices shall be maintained in time synchronism as closely as
practicable.  The meters shall be sealed and the seals shall be broken
only upon occasions when the meters are to be tested or adjusted. For
the purpose of checking the records of the metering equipment installed
by one of the parties hereto as hereinabove provided, the other party
hereto shall have the right to install check metering equipment at the
aforesaid metering points.  Check metering equipment so installed by one
party on the premises of another party, unless otherwise provided for in
this agreement, shall be owned and maintained by the party installing
such equipment.  Upon termination of this agreement, the party owning
such check metering equipment shall remove it from the premises of the
other party.  Authorized representatives of both parties shall have
access at all reasonable hours to the premises where the meters are
located and to the records made by the meters.

4.05  The aforesaid metering equipment shall be tested by the owner at
suitable intervals and its accuracy of registration maintained in
accordance with good practice.  On request of either party hereto, a
special test may be made at the expense of the party requesting such
special test.  Representatives of both parties shall be afforded the
opportunity to be present at all routine or special tests and upon
occasions when any readings for purposes of settlements hereunder are
taken from meters not bearing an automatic record.

4.06  If, at any test of metering equipment an inaccuracy shall be
disclosed exceeding two percent, the account between the parties hereto
for service theretofore delivered shall be adjusted to correct for the
inaccuracy over the shorter of the following two periods:  (1) for the
thirty-day period immediately preceding the day of the test or (2) for
the period that such inaccuracy may be determined to have existed.
Should the metering equipment provided for in Section 4.03 hereof at any
time fail to register, the electric power and energy delivered during
such failure shall be determined from the check meters, if installed, or
otherwise shall be determined from the best available data.

                            ARTICLE 5

                     RECORDS AND STATEMENTS

Records

5.01  In addition to records of the metering provided for in Article 4
hereof, the parties hereto shall keep, in duplicate, such other records
as may be needed to afford a clear history of the various deliveries of
electric energy made, and of the clock-hour integrated demands in
kilowatthours delivered, by one party to the other.  In maintaining such
records, the parties shall effect such segregations and allocations of
demands and electric energy delivered into classes representing the
various services and conditions as may be needed to effect settlements
under this agreement.  The originals of all such records shall be
retained by the party keeping the records and the duplicates shall be
delivered monthly to the other party, unless the parties agree in writing
upon a different time interval for such delivery.

written notice to the other party, give notice for appointment of a board
of arbitrators skilled with respect to matters of the character involved
in the disagreement, naming one arbitrator in such notice.  The other
party shall, within ten days after the receipt of such notice, appoint a
second arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall choose and
appoint a third arbitrator.  In case such other party fails to appoint an
arbitrator within said ten days, or in case the two so appointed fail for
ten days to agree upon and appoint a third, the party calling for the
arbitration, upon five days' written notice delivered to the other party,
shall apply to the senior Judge, in point of service, of the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, for
appointment of the second or third arbitrator, as the case may be.

10.03  The sole arbitrator, or the board of arbitrators, shall afford
adequate opportunity to the parties to present information with respect
to the matters submitted for arbitration and may request further
information from either or both parties.  The findings and award of the
sole arbitrator or of a majority of the board of arbitrators shall be
final and conclusive with respect to the question or questions submitted
for arbitration and shall be binding upon the parties; provided, that
such findings and award shall not in any way vary the expressed terms of
this agreement or in any way extend the expressed scope and intent
hereof.  Each party shall pay for the services and expenses of the
arbitrator appointed by or for it, if there is a board of arbitrators.
All other costs incurred in connection with the arbitration shall be
divided in equal parts and paid by the parties accordingly, unless the
award shall specify a different division of such costs.

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                        EMERGENCY SERVICE

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, in
the event of a breakdown or other emergency in or on the system of either
party involving either sources of power or transmission facilities, or
both, impairing or jeopardizing the ability of the party suffering the
emergency to meet the loads of its system, the other party shall supply
to the party having the emergency such electric energy as the supplying
party is requested to deliver; provided, that neither party shall be
obligated to supply such emergency energy which, in the supplying party's
sole judgment, cannot be delivered without creating a hazard to or
economic burden upon its operations or without impairing or jeopardizing
the total load requirements of its system; and provided further, that
neither party shall be obligated to supply such emergency energy for a
period in excess of forty-eight consecutive hours during any single
emergency.

2.2  The parties recognize that the supply of electric energy as
provided for in subsection 2.1 of this Section 2 is subject to two
conditions which may preclude the delivery of such energy as so
provided:

(a) the party requested to deliver electric energy may be
suffering an emergency in or on its own system as described in said
subsection 2.1, or

(b) the system of the party of whom such request is made may be
delivering electric energy, under a mutual emergency interchange
agreement, to the system of another interconnected company which is
suffering an emergency in or on its system.  Under conditions as cited
under (a) above, neither party shall be considered to be in default
hereunder if unable to comply with the provisions of said subsection 2.1.
Under conditions as cited under (b) above, neither party shall be
considered to be in default hereunder if it is unable to comply with the
provisions of said subsection 2.1 provided that the aforesaid
interconnected company has suffered said emergency in or on its system
prior to and within forty-eight hours of that of the other party hereto
and that, if requested by said other party, such delivery of electric
energy to said interconnected company shall be discontinued within
forty-eight hours following the start of such delivery, and a subsequent
delivery shall be made for a full forty-eight hour period to said other
party in accordance with the provisions of said subsection 2.1.

2.3  If at any time the record over a reasonably prior period shows
clearly that either of the parties has failed to deliver energy in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1 and
subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, either party, by written notice given
to the other party, may call for a joint study by the parties of the
reserve generating capacity in and provided for their respective systems
and of their respective system transmission facilities affecting the
supply and delivery of power and energy under the Agreement.  It shall be
the purpose of such study to determine the adequacy or inadequacy of
reserve generating capacity and transmission facilities being provided to
meet the requirements of the parties' respective systems, reflecting
obligations under the Agreement, and, if inadequate, the extent of the
burden that one party may be placing upon the other.  If it should be
found that one party is placing an unreasonable burden upon the other,
the party causing such burden shall take such measures as are necessary
to remove the burden from the other party, or the parties shall enter
into such arrangements as shall provide for equitable compensation to the
party being burdened.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  Emergency Energy shall be settled for, at the option of the
supplying party, either by payment or by return of equivalent energy.

3.2  If the supplying party opts to receive payment for Emergency Energy
delivered, the receiving party shall pay the supplying party the greater of:

     3.21      110% of the out-of-pocket cost of supplying such Emergency
               Energy that is generated from the supplying party's own
               system, and, for energy purchased by the supplying party from
               another system to supply any part of such Emergency Energy,
               100% of the amount paid by the supplying party therefor plus
               10% of that amount, not exceeding, however, 1.6 mills per
               kilowatthour; or

     3.22      30 mills per kilowatthour of such Emergency Energy

3.3  If the supplying party opts to receive equivalent energy for
Emergency Energy delivered, such equivalent energy shall be returned at
times when the load conditions of the party originally supplying
Emergency Energy are substantially equivalent to the load conditions of
such party that existed when the Emergency Energy was delivered or, if
such party elects to have equivalent energy returned under different
conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts and at such times as,
the Operating Committee agrees will compensate the original supplying
party, for the difference in conditions.

                                                        EXHIBIT II

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE B

                         ENERGY TRANSFER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT

2.1  In carrying out the interconnected operation of their respective
systems as provided for under the Agreement, energy being received by a
portion of one party's system from another portion of its system or to
the system of another interconnected company, may flow over the
transmission facilities of the other party as a natural result of the
physical and electrical characteristics of the interconnected network of
transmission lines to which the parties are connected.  Such flow of
energy may occur during periods when conditions of system operation are
normal or may occur during periods of emergency caused by the failure of
either sources of power or transmission facilities, or both.  In respect
to such flow of energy (hereinafter called "energy transfer") the parties
agree as follows:

     2.11      Such energy transfer over their respective transmission
               facilities shall be permitted whenever such transfer occurs;
               provided, that such energy transfer shall not be of such
               magnitude or duration as to affect adversely, or jeopardize
               the ability of, the party over whose system such energy
               transfers occur to render or accept service to or from
               companies with which it now has, or at any time hereafter may
               have contractual arrangements for the interchange of power or
               energy.

     2.12      The parties recognize that in carrying out the provisions of
               this Service Schedule, the above described energy transfer,
               either during periods when conditions of system operation are
               normal or during periods of emergency, or both, may
               eventually require the installation of additional
               transmission facilities in order that such energy transfer
               may be properly controlled to the end that the ability of the
               party over whose system such energy transfers occur to meet
               its own requirements, as described under 2.11 above, is not
               affected adversely or jeopardized.  In the event the need for
               such additional transmission facilities becomes apparent to
               either of the parties during any term of this Service
               Schedule, upon written notice given by either party to the
               other party and as soon as practicable following such notice,
               the parties shall jointly reexamine conditions relating to
               energy transfer.  In such reexamination, if called for, the
               parties shall agree upon such additional transmission
               facilities as may be required to be installed, if any, and
               upon an equitable basis for bearing the cost of installing,
               maintaining and operating such facilities, if installed.

SECTION 3 - POWER AND ENERGY ACCOUNTING

3.1  The parties recognize that energy transfers as described under
Section 2 of this Service Schedule, except for such amounts of electrical
losses as may be incurred because of such energy transfers, are the
simultaneous acceptance and delivery of like amounts of power and energy
by and from the system of the party over whose system such energy
transfers occur.  Power and energy associated with energy transfers,
including electrical losses associated therewith, shall be accounted for
each clock-hour as provided for under Article 5 of the Agreement. Proper
consideration to such electrical losses will be in accordance with the
manner agreed upon by the Operating Committee.  It is understood by the
parties, however, that such electrical losses resulting from energy
transfers, to be taken as losses over and above the losses prevailing
under basic conditions agreed upon by the parties, shall be supplied
simultaneously by the party for whom such energy transfers are being
made.  The parties agree that initially such basic conditions will be
established as those that exist when the scheduled net delivery between
the systems of the parties, and between their respective systems and the
systems of other interconnected companies, is zero kilowatts.  It is
further understood that, from time to time, conditions may require the
establishment of different basic conditions for such purpose. Either
party by written notice given to the other party may call for a prompt
reexamination and reconsideration of matters pertinent to the
establishment of said basic conditions, whenever such reexamination
appears to be warranted, and the parties will thereupon agree to effect
such changes in the basic conditions, if any, that will equitably
compensate the parties for such losses.  Should such reexamination be
required, a statement will be prepared by the parties which shall include
in detail the amounts of energy delivered and received by the parties
that are associated with energy transfer and the amounts of electrical
losses associated therewith.

                                                        EXHIBIT III

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE C

                        INTERCHANGE POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the "Agreement")
shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as defined in Article 9 of
the Agreement and shall continue in effect until termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

Economy Energy

2.1  Either party may arrange to purchase from the other party electric
energy ("Economy Energy") when it is possible to effect a saving thereby
and, when, in the sole judgment of the supplying party, such energy is
available.  Prior to each Economy Energy transaction, the amount of
energy, the time of its delivery, and the charge therefore shall be
determined by the parties.  Receipt or delivery of Economy Energy may
also be arranged with other interconnected systems not parties to this
Agreement.

Non-Displacement Energy

2.2  It is recognized that occasions will arise when transactions under
subsection 2.1 above will be impracticable although a party may have
electric energy (herein called "Non-Displacement Energy") which it is
willing to make available from surplus capacity from its own system or
from outside sources, or both and which can be utilized advantageously
for short intervals by the other party.  In such event, the party
desiring such receipt of energy shall notify the other party of the
extent to which it desires to obtain Non-Displacement Energy, and if the
other party, in its sole judgment, determines that Non-Displacement
Energy is available, schedules providing the periods and extent of use
shall be mutually agreed upon.  Neither party shall be obligated to make
any Non-Displacement Energy available to the other.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

Economy Energy

3.1  The charge for Economy Energy purchased by either party from the
other shall be based on the principle that the purchasing party shall pay
the out-of-pocket cost of the supplying party such energy and that the
resulting savings to the purchasing party shall be equally shared by both
parties.

3.2  When Economy Energy is obtained from or delivered to other
interconnected systems not signatories to this Agreement, payments shall
be based on the out-of-pocket cost of the supplying party or system
providing the energy and an allocation of the gross savings to be
realized.  For such purpose, gross savings is defined as the difference
between the out-of-pocket cost of the purchasing party or system to
generate such energy, and the out-of-pocket cost of the supplying party
or system to provide such energy.  Such allocation shall be made as
provided in subsections 3.21 and 3.22 of this section.

     3.21      Each party or system participating in the transaction other
               than the supplying and purchasing parties or systems, shall
               be paid (a) its cost of purchasing the energy supplied, plus
               (b) its cost of any additional transmission losses incurred,
               plus (c) fifteen percent of the savings remaining after
               deducting all such costs for transmission losses.

     3.22      The supplying party or system shall be paid out-of-pocket
               costs of providing the energy, plus one-half of the gross
               savings remaining after deducting all (b) and (c) costs
               enumerated in section 3.21 above.  The receiving party or
               system shall be entitled to the other one-half of the such
               savings.

Non-Displacement Energy

3.3  Non-Displacement Energy delivered hereunder shall be settled for
either by return of equivalent energy or, at the option of the supplying
party, by payment of the out-of-cost of the supplying party in generating
or supplying such energy plus ten percent of such cost.  Such cost shall
be as of the delivery point or points, as provided for in Section 4.01 of
said Interconnection Agreement, and shall take into account the electrical
losses incurred from the source or sources of such energy to said delivery
point or points.  If equivalent energy is returned, it shall be returned at
times when the load conditions of the receiving party are equivalent to the
load conditions of such party at the time the energy was delivered.  If such
party elects to have equivalent energy returned under different conditions,
such energy shall be returned in such amounts as will compensate the
supplying party for the difference in conditions as agreed by the Operating
Committee.

                                                       EXHIBIT IV

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE D

                        SHORT TERM POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the "Agreement")
shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as defined in Article 9 of
the Agreement and shall continue in effect until termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Either party, by giving the other party sufficient notice, may
reserve for periods of one or more days or weeks, such electric power
(herein called "Short Term Power") as the supplying party at that time
may have and is willing to supply as Short Term Power.  The party asked
to supply Short Term Power shall be the sole judge as to the amounts and
periods that it has electric power available that may be reserved by the
other party as Short Term Power.  As used herein, the term "week" shall
mean any seven consecutive days.

2.2  The party desiring to reserve Short Term Power shall specify in a
notice to the other party the number of kilowatts and the period for
which it desires to reserve such power and the desired delivery schedule
for such power.  The supplying party shall promptly acknowledge receipt
of such notice and, shall signify the extent of its ability and willingness
to supply power in accordance with the provisions of such
notice.  Any such notice or acknowledgement thereof initially may be
given orally; however if requested by either party, it shall be confirmed
in writing and such confirmation shall be forwarded not later than the
third day following the day such oral notice is given, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

2.3  During the period the Short Term Power has been reserved as
provided in Section 2.2 above, the supplying party shall deliver upon
call electric energy (herein called "Short Term Energy") to the other
party at the delivery point or points set forth in Section 4.01 of the
Agreement in amounts not to exceed the number of kilowatts reserved.
However, in the event conditions arise during such period which could not
have been reasonably foreseen at the time Short Term Energy was reserved
and such conditions would cause the delivery of said power to be
burdensome to the supplying party, said party shall have the right to
require the purchasing party to reduce for any portion of such period the
amount of such energy being taken to the amount specified by the
supplying party.  The purchasing party shall promptly comply with such
requirement of the supplying party.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  The purchasing party shall pay the supplying party;

     3.11  For any week that Short Term Power is reserved, $1.05 per
     kilowatt reserved; less, for each day during any part of which the
     amount of such Short Term Power is reduced by the supplying party,
     $0.18 per kilowatt of the reduction (except that in no event shall
     the total of such deductions in any week exceed $1.05 per
     kilowatt).  For each period less than one week that Short Term
     Power is reserved, $0.18 per kilowatt reserved per day; less, for
     any day during any part of which the amount of Short Term Power is
     reduced by the supplying party, $0.18 per kilowatt of the
     reduction; plus

     3.12  110% of the out-of-pocket cost of supplying the Short Term
     Energy taken during such reservation periods that comes from the
     supplying party's own system; plus, for energy purchased by the
     supplying party from another system to supply any part of the Short
     Term Energy taken during such reservation periods, 100% of the
     amount paid therefore by the supplying party plus 10% thereof not
     to exceed 1.6 mills per kilowatthour.

December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Either party by giving the other party notice may reserve for
periods of not less than one (1) or more than twelve (12) months, such
electric power (herein called "Limited Term Power (Firm)") as the other
party may be willing to make available as Limited Term Power (Firm).  The
party asked to supply Limited Term Power (Firm) shall be the sole judge
as to the amounts and periods that it has electric power available that
may be reserved by the other party as Limited Term Power (Firm).

     2.11 To reserve Limited Term Power (Firm), the party desiring such
          power shall specify in its notice to the supplying party the
          number of kilowatts and the period for which it desires to so
          reserve such power.  The supplying party shall signify the
          extent of its ability and willingness to comply with the
          provisions of such notice.  Any notice or any acknowledgement
          of such notice that initially may be given orally shall be
          confirmed thereafter in writing.

     2.12      During each period that Limited Term Power (Firm) has been
               reserved as above provided, the supplying party shall deliver
               upon call electric energy (herein called "Limited Term Energy
               (Firm)") to the other party at the delivery point or points
               set forth in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the Agreement in
               any amount up to and including the number of kilowatts
               reserved.  However, in the event conditions arise during such
               period which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the
               time said power was reserved and such conditions would cause
               the delivery of Limited Term Energy (Firm) to be burdensome
               to the supplying party, the supplying party may, upon notice
               to the reserving party reduce or interrupt the delivery of
               such energy to preserve the integrity of, or to prevent or
               limit any instability on, its system.

     2.13      The Limited Term Power (Firm) billing demand for any period
               shall be taken as equal to the number of kilowatts reserved
               as Limited Term Power (Firm) for such period.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  The reserving party shall pay the supplying party:

     3.1  For any month that Limited Term Power (Firm) is reserved,
     $5.50 per kilowatt reserved; plus,

     3.12 110% of the out-of-pocket costs of supplying the Limited Term
     Energy (Firm) taken during such reserved periods that is generated
     by the supplying party, plus, for energy purchased by the supplying
     party from another system to supply any part of the Limited Term
     Energy (Firm), 100% of the amount paid therefore by the supplying
     party, plus 10% thereof not to exceed 1.6 mills per kilowatthour.

                                                     EXHIBIT VI

                            "DEFAULT

     "20.01  Default Defined.  As used herein, "Default" shall mean the
     failure of a party to make any payment or perform any obligation at
     the time and in the manner required by this agreement, except where
     such failure to discharge obligations (other than the payment of
     money) is the result of Force Majeure.  Failure to make any payment
     in the time and manner required by this agreement shall not be
     excused as a Default by payment of late charges in accordance with
     the provisions in Section 20.02 below.

     "20.02  Remedies For Default.  Upon failure of a party to make a
     payment or perform an obligation required hereunder, the other
     party shall give written notice of Default to the defaulting party.
     The defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days within which to
     cure the Default.  If a Default is not cured within such period,
     the party not in Default, at its option, may, in addition to all
     other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or under any
     other provision of this agreement:  (i) give notice to the

     such steps as such party deems necessary to cure the Default, or
     (ii) suspend this agreement for a period of 6 months, after which
     this agreement shall automatically terminate.  The defaulting party

     including, reasonable attorneys' fees, money reasonably paid to
     others, the reasonable equivalent in money for services of property
     obtained, and any other costs reasonably incurred by such other
     party in attempting to remedy such Default, together with interest
     on the total of such costs at the per annum rate of two (2) percent
     above the commercial lending rate as determined in Article 6 hereof.
     This provision is not intended as a liquidated damages
     provision or to limit liability in any way, and the party not in
     Default may also maintain such other actions for damages as may be
     provided by law, in equity or under this agreement."

                           "ARTICLE 21

                         "FORCE MAJEURE

     "21.02  Force Majeure.  The term "Force Majeure" shall mean any
     cause beyond the control of the party invoking the Force Majeure,
     including, but not limited to, failure or threat of failure of
     facilities, equipment or fuel supply, ice, act of God, flood,
     earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, explosion, epidemic, war, civil

     failure to obtain the necessary authorizations or approvals from,
     or obtaining the necessary authorizations or approvals only subject
     to unreasonable restrictions from, any governmental agency or
     authority, which by the exercise of due diligence such party could
     not reasonably have been expected to avoid.  Nothing contained
     herein shall be construed to require a party to settle any strike,
     lockout, work stoppage or other industrial disturbance or dispute
     in which it may be involved or to take an appeal from any judicial,
     regulatory or administrative action.  Any party rendered unable to
     fulfill any of its obligations under this agreement by reason of
     Force Majeure shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability
     with all reasonable dispatch.  In the event either party is unable,
     in whole or in part, to perform any of its obligations by reason of
     Force Majeure the obligations of the party relying thereon, insofar
     as such obligations are affected by such Force Majeure, shall be
     suspended during the continuance thereof but no longer.  The party
     invoking the Force Majeure shall specifically state the full
     particulars of the Force Majeure and the time and date when the
     Force Majeure occurred.  Notices given by telephone under the
     provisions of this Article shall be confirmed in writing as soon as
     reasonably possible.  When the Force Majeure ceases, the party
     relying thereon shall give immediate notice thereof to the  other
     party.  This agreement shall not be terminated by reason of Force
     Majeure but shall remain in full force and effect."

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                        EMERGENCY SERVICE

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, in
the event of a breakdown or other emergency in or on the system of either
party involving either sources of power or transmission facilities, or
both, impairing or jeopardizing the ability of the party suffering the
emergency to meet the loads of its system, the other party shall supply
to the party having the emergency such electric energy as the supplying
party is requested to deliver; provided, that neither party shall be
obligated to supply such emergency energy which, in the supplying party's
sole judgment, cannot be delivered without creating a hazard to or
economic burden upon its operations or without impairing or jeopardizing
the total load requirements of its system; and provided further, that
neither party shall be obligated to supply such emergency energy for a
period in excess of forty-eight consecutive hours during any single
emergency.

2.2  The parties recognize that the supply of electric energy as
provided for in subsection 2.1 of this Section 2 is subject to two
conditions which may preclude the delivery of such energy as so provided:

(a) the party requested to deliver electric energy may be suffering an
emergency in or on its own system as described in said subsection 2.1, or

(b) the system of the party of whom such request is made may be
delivering electric energy under a mutual emergency interchange
agreement, to the system of another interconnected company which is
suffering an emergency in or on its system.  Under conditions as cited
under (a) above, neither party shall be considered to be in default
hereunder if unable to comply with the provisions of said subsection 2.1.
Under conditions as cited under (b) above, neither party shall be
considered to be in default hereunder if it is unable to comply with the
provisions of said subsection 2.1 provided that the aforesaid
interconnected company has suffered said emergency in or on its system
prior to and within forty-eight hours of that of the other party hereto
and that, if requested by said other party, such delivery of electric
energy to said interconnected company shall be discontinued within
forty-eight hours following the start of such delivery, and a subsequent
delivery shall be made for a full forty-eight hour period to said other
party in accordance with the provisions of said subsection 2.1.

2.3  If at any time the record over a reasonably prior period shows
clearly that either of the parties has failed to deliver energy in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1 and
subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, either party, by written notice given
to the other party, may call for a joint study by the parties of the
reserve generating capacity in and provided for their respective systems
and of their respective system transmission facilities affecting the
supply and delivery of power and energy under the Agreement.  It shall be
the purpose of such study to determine the adequacy or inadequacy of
reserve generating capacity and transmission facilities being provided to
meet the requirements of the parties' respective systems, reflecting
obligations under the Agreement, and, if inadequate, the extent of the
burden that one party may be placing upon the other.  If it should be
found that one party is placing an unreasonable burden upon the other,
the party causing such burden shall take such measures as are necessary
to remove the burden from the other party, or the parties shall enter
into such arrangements as shall provide for equitable compensation to the
party being burdened.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  Emergency Energy shall be settled for, at the option of the
supplying party, either by payment or by return of equivalent energy.

3.2  If the supplying party opts to receive payment for Emergency Energy
delivered, the receiving party shall pay the supplying party the greater
of:

     3.21      110% of the out-of-pocket cost of supplying such Emergency
               Energy that is generated from the supplying party's own
               system, and, for energy purchased by the supplying party from
               another interconnected system which is not a signatory to
               this Agreement ("Third Party") at the request of the
               receiving party, 100% of the amount paid to such Third Party
               plus up to 3.46 mills per kilowatthour (consisting of up to
               2.46 mills per kilowatthour for a transmission charge and 1
               mill per kilowatthour for difficult to quantify energy
               related costs) plus any transmission losses.

     3.22      30 mills per kilowatthour of such Emergency Energy

3.3  If the supplying party opts to receive equivalent energy for
Emergency Energy delivered; such equivalent energy shall be returned at
times when the load conditions of the party originally supplying
Emergency Energy are substantially equivalent to the load conditions of
such party that existed when the Emergency Energy was delivered or, if
such party elects to have equivalent energy returned under different
conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts and at such times as,
the Operating Committee agrees will compensate the original supplying
party, for the difference in conditions.

                             AMENDED
                       SERVICE SCHEDULE B

                         ENERGY TRANSFER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT

2.1  In carrying out the interconnected operation of their respective
systems as provided for under the Agreement, energy being received by a
portion of one party's system from another portion of its system or to
the system of another interconnected company, may flow over the
transmission facilities of the other party as a natural result of the
physical and electrical characteristics of the interconnected network of
transmission lines to which the parties are connected.  Such flow of
energy may occur during periods when conditions of system operation are
normal or may occur during periods of emergency caused by the failure of
either sources of power or transmission facilities, or both.  In respect
to such flow of energy (hereinafter called "energy transfer") the parties
agree as follows:

     2.11      Such energy transfer over their respective transmission
               facilities shall be permitted whenever such transfer occurs;
               provided, that such energy transfer shall not be of such
               magnitude or duration as to affect adversely, or jeopardize
               the ability of, the party over whose system such energy
               transfers occur to render or accept service to or from
               companies with which it now has, or at any time hereafter may
               have contractual arrangements for the interchange of power or
               energy.

     2.12      The parties recognize that in carrying out the provisions of
               this Service Schedule, the above-described energy transfer,
               either during periods when conditions of system operation are
               normal or during periods of emergency, or both, may
               eventually require the installation of additional
               transmission facilities in order that such energy transfer
               may be properly controlled to the end that the ability of the
               party over whose system such energy transfers occur to meet
               its own requirements, as described under 2.11 above, is not
               affected adversely or jeopardized.  In the event the need for
               such additional transmission facilities becomes apparent to
               either of the parties during any term of this Service
               Schedule, upon written notice given by either party to the
               other party and as soon as practicable following such notice,
               the parties shall jointly reexamine conditions relating to
               Energy Transfer.  In such reexamination, if called for, the
               parties shall agree upon such additional transmission
               facilities as may be required to be installed, if any, and
               upon an equitable basis for bearing the cost of installing,
               maintaining and operating such facilities, if installed.

SECTION 3 - POWER AND ENERGY ACCOUNTING

3.1  The parties recognize that energy transfers as described under
Section 2 of this Service Schedule, except for such amounts of electrical
losses as may be incurred because of such energy transfers, are the
simultaneous acceptance and delivery of like amounts of power and energy
by and from the system of the party over whose system such energy transfers
occur.  Power and energy associated with energy transfers, including
electrical losses associated therewith, shall be accounted for
each clock-hour as provided for under Article 5 of the Agreement. Proper
consideration to such electrical losses will be in accordance with the
manner agreed upon by the Operating Committee.  It is understood by the
parties, however, that such electrical losses resulting from energy
transfers, to be taken as losses over and above the losses prevailing
under basic conditions agreed upon by the parties, shall be supplied
simultaneously by the party for whom such energy transfers are being
made.  The parties agree that initially such basic conditions will be
established as those that exist when the scheduled net delivery between
the systems of the parties, and between their respective systems and the
systems of other interconnected companies, is zero kilowatts.  It is
further understood that, from time to time, conditions may require the
establishment of different basic conditions for such purpose. Either
party by written notice given to the other party may call for a prompt
reexamination and reconsideration of matters pertinent to the
establishment of said basic conditions, whenever such reexamination
appears to be warranted, and the parties will thereupon agree to effect
such changes in the basic conditions, if any, that will equitably
compensate the parties for such losses.  Should such reexamination be
required, a statement will be prepared by the parties which shall include
in detail the amounts of energy delivered and received by the parties
that are associated with energy transfer and the amounts of electrical
losses associated therewith.

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE C

                        INTERCHANGE POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

Economy Energy

2.1  Either party may arrange to purchase from the other party electric
energy ("Economy Energy") when it is possible to effect a saving thereby
and, when in the sole judgment of the supplying party, such energy is
available.  Prior to each Economy Energy transaction, the amount of
energy, the time of its delivery, and the charge therefore shall be
determined by the parties.  Receipt or delivery of Economy Energy may
also be arranged with other interconnected systems not parties to this
Agreement.

Non-Displacement Energy

2.2  It is recognized that occasions will arise when transactions under
subsection 2.1 above will be impracticable although a party may have
electric energy (herein called "Non-Displacement Energy") which it is
willing to make available from surplus capacity from its own system or
from outside sources, or both and which can be utilized advantageously
for short intervals by the other party.  In such event, the party
desiring such receipt of energy shall notify the other party of the
extent to which it desires to obtain Non-Displacement Energy, and if the
other party, in its sole judgment, determines that Non-Displacement
Energy is available, schedules providing the period and extent of use
shall be mutually agreed upon.  Neither party shall be obligated to make
any Non-Displacement Energy available to the other.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

Economy Energy

3.1  The charge for Economy Energy purchased by either party from the
other shall be based on the principle that the purchasing party shall pay
the out-of-pocket cost of the supplying party such energy and that the
resulting savings to the purchasing party shall be equally shared by both
parties.

3.2  When Economy Energy is obtained from or delivered to a system
interconnected with either of the Parties which is not a signatory in the
Agreement ("Third Party"), payments among the participants in such a
transaction shall be based on the out-of-pocket costs of the supplying
party or Third Party providing the Energy and an allocation of the gross
savings, which are defined as the difference between (1) what the out-of-
pocket costs of the receiving party or Third Party would have been to
generate such Energy, and (2) the out-of-pocket costs of the supplying
party or Third Party providing the Energy.  Such allocation shall be made
as provided in subsection 3.21 and 3.22 hereinbelow.

     3.21      The transmitting party shall be paid (A) its cost of
               purchasing the Energy supplied, plus (B) its costs of any
               additional transmission losses incurred, plus (C) the greater
               of fifteen percent of the gross savings remaining after
               deducting all such payments for transmission losses or an
               amount up to 3.46 mills per kilowatthour of Energy received
               for transmission.

     3.22      The supplying party or Third Party shall be paid its out-
               of-pocket costs of providing the Energy, plus one-half of the
               gross savings remaining after deducting all payments made
               under subsection 3.21.

Non-Displacement Energy

3.3  Non-Displacement Energy delivered hereunder that is generated by
the supplying party's system shall be settled for either by return of
equivalent Energy or, at the option of the supplying party, by the
payment of the out-of-pocket costs of the supplying party generating such
Energy plus ten percent of such cost.  If equivalent Energy is returned,
it shall be returned at times when load conditions of the receiving party
are equivalent to the load condition of such party at the time the energy
was delivered or, different conditions, such energy shall be returned in
such amounts, to be agreed upon by the operating committee, as will
compensate for the difference in conditions.

3.4  Non-Displacement Energy delivered under subsection 2.2 above that is
purchased by the supplying party from another interconnected system at
the request of the receiving party shall be settled for by the payment of
100 percent of the amount paid to such Third Party, plus up to 3.46 mills
per kilowatthour (consisting of up to 2.46 mills per kilowatthour for a
transmission charge plus 1 mill per kilowatthour for difficult to
quantify energy related costs) plus any transmission losses.

                        SHORT TERM POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Either party, by giving the other party sufficient notice, may
reserve for periods of one or more days or weeks, such electric power
(herein called "Short Term Power") as the supplying party at that time
may have and is willing to supply as Short Term Power.  The party asked
to supply Short Term Power shall be the sole judge as to the amounts and
periods that it has electric power available that may be reserved by the
other party as Short Term Power.  As used herein, the term "week" shall
mean any seven consecutive days.

2.2  The party desiring to reserve Short Term Power shall specify in a
notice to the other party the number of kilowatts and the period for
which it desires to reserve such power and the desired delivery schedule
for such power.  The supplying party shall promptly acknowledge receipt
of such notice and, shall signify the extent of its ability and
willingness to supply power in accordance with the provisions of such
notice.  Any such notice or acknowledgement thereof initially may be
given orally; however if requested by either party, it shall be confirmed
in writing and such confirmation shall be forwarded not later than the
third day following the date such oral notice is given, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

2.3  During the period the Short Term Power has been reserved as
provided in Section 2.2 above, the supplying party shall deliver upon
call electric energy (hereincalled "Short Term Energy") to the other
party at the delivery point or points set forth in Section 4.01 of the
Agreement in amounts not to exceed the number of kilowatts reserved.
However, in the event conditions arise during such period which could not
have been reasonably foreseen at the time Short Term Energy was reserved
and such conditions would cause the delivery of said power to be
burdensome to the supplying party, said party shall have the right to
require the purchasing party to reduce for any portion of such period the
amount of such energy being taken to the amount specified by the
supplying party.  The purchasing party shall promptly comply with such
requirement of the supplying party.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  The Party reserving Weekly or Daily Short Term Power shall pay the
supplying party the following Demand Charges:

     3.11      WEEKLY SHORT TERM POWER -- For any week that Short Term
               Power is reserved, up to $1.05 per kilowatt reserved;
               less, for each day during any part of which the amount
               of Weekly Short Term Power is reduced upon notice from
               the supplying party, one-sixth (1/6) of the supplying
               party's weekly demand rate per kilowatt for each
               kilowatt reduction but not more than the rate agreed
               upon for each kilowatt per month.

     3.12 DAILY SHORT TERM POWER -- For any day that Short Term Power
          is reserved, up to $0.21 per kilowatt reserved; less, for
          each day during which the amount of Daily Short Term Power is
          reduced upon notice by the supplying party, the demand charge
          per kilowatt for each day during which any such reduction is
          in effect shall be waived for each kilowatt of reduction.

     3.13 THIRD PARTY WEEKLY SHORT TERM POWER -- For any week that
          Weekly Short Term Power is reserved from a Third Party by the
          supplying party for and at the request of the receiving
          party, such Short Term Power shall be supplied at the rate of
          up to $0.295 per kilowatt reserved per week plus the demand
          charge paid therefore by the supplying party to the Third
          Party in the event the amount of Weekly Short Term Power
          reserved from a Third Party is reduced upon the request of
          the Third Party, the demand charge for each day during which
          such reduction is in effect shall be reduced by the amount of
          which the demand charge payable by the supplying party is
          reduced under its Agreement with such Third Party plus,
          one-sixth (1/6) of the rate per kilowatt agreement upon under
          this paragraph for each kilowatt of reduction per day, but
          not more than the rate agreed upon for each kilowatt per week.

     3.14 THIRD PARTY DAILY SHORT TERM POWER -- For any day that Daily
          Short Term Power is reserved from a Third Party by the
          supplying party for and at the request of the receiving
          party, such Short Term Power shall be supplied at the rate of
          up to $0.059 per kilowatt reserved per day plus the demand
          charge paid therefore by the supplying party to the Third
          Party.  In the event the amount of Daily Short Term Power
          reserved from a Third Party is reduced upon the request of
          the Third Party, the demand charge for each day during which
          such reduction is in effect shall be reduced by the amount by
          which the demand charge payable by the supplying party is
          reduced under its Agreement with such Third Party plus, the
          rate per kilowatt agreed upon under this paragraph for each
          kilowatt of said reduction.

3.2  The reserving party shall pay the supplying party for all Weekly or
Daily Short Term Energy delivered at the following rates:

     3.21 For each kilowatthour that is generated by the supplying
          party's system, 100 percent of the out-of-pocket costs of
          supplying Short Term Energy called for during such period,
          plus 10 percent of such costs.

     3.22 For each kilowatthour purchased by the supplying party from a
          Third Party in order to supply the Short Term Energy called
          for during such period, 100 percent of the amount of the
          Energy charge paid therefore by the supplying party plus 1
          mill per kilowatthour plus any transmission losses.

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE E

                    LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM)

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of an agreement dated as of
December 1, 1981, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") and
Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") (the
"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Either party by giving the other party notice may reserve for
periods of not less than one (1) or more than twelve (12) months, such
electric power (hereincalled "Limited Term Power (Firm)") as the other
party may be willing to make available as Limited Term Power (Firm).  The
party asked to supply Limited Term Power (Firm) shall be the sole judge
as to the amounts and periods that it has electric power available that
may be reserved by the other party as Limited Term Power (Firm).

     2.11 To reserve Limited Term Power (Firm), the party desiring such
          power shall specify in its notice to the supplying party the
          number of kilowatts and the period for which it desires to so
          reserve such power.  The supplying party shall signify the
          extent of its ability and willingness to comply with the
          provisions of such notice.  Any notice or any acknowledgement
          of such notice that initially may be given orally shall be
          confirmed thereafter in writing.

     2.12      During each period that Limited Term Power (Firm) has been
               reserved as above provided, the supplying party shall deliver
               upon call electric energy (herein called "Limited Term Energy
               (Firm)") to the other party at the delivery point or points
               set forth in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the Agreement in
               any amount up to and including the number of kilowatts
               reserved.  However, in the event conditions arise during such
               period which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the
               time said power was reserved and such conditions would cause
               the delivery of Limited Term Energy (Firm) to be burdensome
               to the supplying party, the supplying party may, upon notice
               to the reserving party reduce or interrupt the delivery of
               such energy to preserve the integrity of, or to prevent or
               limit any instability on, its system.

     2.13      The Limited Term Power (Firm) billing demand for any period
               shall be taken as equal to the number of kilowatts reserved
               as Limited Term Power (Firm) for such period.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  The party reserving Limited Term Power (Firm) shall pay the
supplying party the following Demand Charges:

     3.11 MONTHLY LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM) -- For any month that
          Limited Term Power (Firm) is reserved, up to $5.50 per
          kilowatt reserved; less, for each day during any part of
          which the amount of Monthly Limited Term Power (Firm) is
          reduced upon notice from the supplying party, one-twentieth
          (1/20) of the supplying party's monthly demand rate per
          kilowatt for each kilowatt of reduction but not more than the
          rate agreed upon for each kilowatt per month.

     3.12 THIRD PARTY MONTHLY LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM) -- For any
          month that Monthly Limited Term Power (Firm) is reserved from
          a Third Party by the supplying party for and at the request
          of the receiving party, such Monthly Limited Term Power
          (Firm) shall be supplied at the rate of up to $1.28 per
          kilowatt reserved per month plus the demand charge paid
          therefore by the supplying party to the Third Party.  In the
          event the amount of Monthly Limited Term Power (Firm)
          reserved from a Third Party is reduced upon the request of
          the Third Party, the demand charge for each day during which
          such reduction is in effect shall be reduced by the amount by
          which the demand charge payable by the supplying party is
          reduced under its Agreement with such Third Party plus,
          one-thirtieth (1/30) of the rate per kilowatt agreed upon
          under this paragraph for each kilowatt of reduction per day,
          but not more than the rate agreed upon for each kilowatt per
          month.

3.2  The reserving party shall pay the supplying party for all Monthly
Limited Term Energy (Firm) delivered at the following rates:

     3.21 For each kilowatthour that is generated by the supplying
          party's system, 100 percent of the out-of-pocket costs for
          supplying Limited Term Energy (Firm) called for during such
          period, plus 10 percent of such costs.

     3.22 For each kilowatthour purchased by the supplying party from a
          Third Party in order to supply the Limited Term Energy (Firm)
          called for during such period, 100 percent of the amount of
          the Energy charge paid therefore by the supplying party plus
          1 mill per kilowatthour plus any transmission losses.

termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - DIVERSITY POWER

2.1  From time to time, because of differences in load patterns one of
the parties hereto may have excess capacity during one seasonal load
period at the same time the other party is experiencing its peak load
season.  At such time it may be to the parties' mutual advantage to
schedule exchange of certain portions of any such excess capacity.  Such
capacity shall be termed and is herein called "Diversity Power".

2.2  At any time Diversity Power transactions are agreed upon between
the parties, the party which purchases Diversity Power during one
seasonal load period shall be obligated to have available a like amount
of Diversity Power for the other party during the other seasonal load
period.  Seasonal load period shall mean for the Summer seasonal load
Period, the months of April thru September and for the Winter seasonal
load period, the months of October thru March.

2.3  The party supplying Diversity Power shall provide reserve capacity
for the committed amount, equivalent to that provided for its own
customers, exclusive of customers with interruptible service contracts.

2.4  Energy associated with the reservation of Diversity Power shall be
scheduled by the purchasing party no less than 18 hours in advance of
receiving such energy.  Energy receipts for a Monday shall be scheduled
no later than noon of the preceding Friday.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  Demand Charges - There shall be no demand charge for Diversity Power.

3.2  Energy Charges - Energy shall be billed at out-of-pocket cost plus
ten percent of such cost.  In the event that any part of the
out-of-pocket costs includes energy purchased by the supplying Party,
only the energy portion of such purchase cost shall be included. Any
associated charges for demand, transmission, or other burden shall be
excluded.

                       MODIFICATION NO. 4
                             TO THE
                    INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
                             BETWEEN
               INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
                               AND
         HOOSIER ENERGY RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC.

THIS AMENDMENT made and entered into as of the 1st day of January, 1995
by Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL"), being an Amendment to the
Interconnection Agreement between Hoosier Energy Rural Electric
Cooperative, Inc. ("Buyer") and IPL dated December 1, 1981 (the "Agreement").

                           WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, IPL and Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc., entered
into the Agreement on December 1, 1981, which Agreement has been amended
from time to time;

WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the sale of power and energy by IPL
under Service Schedules described as:

          Service Schedule A            Emergency Service
          Service Schedule C            Interchange Power
          Service Schedule D            Short Term Power
          Service Schedule E            Limited Term Power (Firm)
          Service Schedule F            Diversity Power

WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the recovery of incremental costs or
"out-of-pocket" costs occasioned by the sale by IPL of electric energy;

WHEREAS, IPL has implemented its Emissions Constrained Dispatch Plan,
attached hereto;

WHEREAS, the rates for Emergency Service, Interchange Power, Short Term
Power, Limited Term Power (Firm), and Diversity Power, do not expressly
include the cost of replacing sulfur dioxide ("SO2") emission allowances
expended in order to provide such energy in compliance with Federal laws
governing SO2 emission;

WHEREAS, IPL desires to amend the Agreement to clarify recovery of out-
of-pocket costs occasioned by the sale of said energy as including the
recovery of the incremental cost of SO2 emission allowances;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the terms and
conditions set forth herein; IPL desires to amend the Agreement as
follows:

Section 1.     Compensation for SO2 Emission Allowances.

The Buyer shall compensate IPL for the consumption of Sulfur Dioxide
Emissions Allowances ("SO2 Allowances") directly attributed to electric
energy sales by IPL to Buyer under the Service Schedules.  Such
compensation shall, at Buyer's option, be made by either supplying IPL
with the number of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to such energy
sales, or by reimbursing IPL for the incremental cost of such number of
SO2 Allowances, rounded to the nearest whole SO2 Allowance.

If Buyer opts to reimburse IPL in cash for SO2 Allowances associated with
Buyer's energy purchases for the month, the cash amount due at billing
will be determined by multiplying the number of SO2 Allowances attributed
to the sale by the incremental cost of the SO2 Allowances, as determined
in Section 2.2, at the time of the sale.

If Buyer opts to reimburse IPL in SO2 Allowances, Buyer will record or
transfer to IPL's account, the number of SO2 Allowances calculated below,
at the time cash settlement for the energy is due.  In all cases, Buyer
will transfer to IPL's account the number of SO2 Allowances due IPL for
calendar year no later than January 15 of the following year. "Transfer
to IPL's account" shall mean, for purposes of the Amendment, the transfer
by the USEPA of the requisite number of SO2 Allowances to IPL's Allowance
Tracking System account and the receipt by IPL of the Allowance Transfer
Confirmation.

Section 2.     Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances Due IPL.

     Section 2.1.   Number of SO2 Allowances

     The number of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to an energy sale
     made by IPL shall be determined for each hour, by determining the
     contribution from each of the unit(s) from which the energy sale is
     being made for that hour.  For each unit, the emission rate in
     pounds of SO2 per million Btu will be determined each month, from
     fuel sulfur content, control equipment performance, and continuous
     emissions monitoring data.  The emission rate and the unit heat
     rate will be used to determine the SO2 Allowances used per
     megawatt-hour ("MWH").  The energy from each unit attributable to
     the sale, and the SO2 Allowances per MWH for each unit, will be
     used to determine the number of SO2 Allowances attributable to the
     sale.

     Section 2.2 .  Cost of SO2 Allowances

     The incremental SO2 Allowance cost used to determine economic
     dispatch of IPL's generating units in any month, will also be the
     basis used to determine compensation for IPL's energy sales. The
     incremental SO2 Allowances cost, in dollars per ton of SO2, shall
     be determined each month and will be based on the Cantor Fitzgerald
     offer  price for SO2 Allowances, or if such is not available, the
     another nationally recognized SO2 Allowance trading market price or
     market price index, at the beginning of the month.  The SO2
     Allowance value may be changed at any time during the month to
     reflect the more current incremental cost, or market price, for SO2
     Allowances.  Buyer will be notified of the new SO2 Allowance value
     prior to dispatch of IPL energy to Buyer.

Section 3.     Effective Date.

This Amendment to the Agreement shall be made effective as of January 1,
1995.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, IPL has caused the foregoing Amendment to be signed
by its duly authorized officer, effective as of the date set forth above.

                              INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

                                   John C. Berlier, Jr.

                                   Resource Planning and Rates

                        EMISSIONS CONSTRAINED DISPATCH PLAN
                             Effective January 1, 1995

Economic Dispatch is loading each generating unit so the lowest cost
generation is called upon first to generate the power needed, thereby
minimizing total electric energy generation cost.  Emissions Constrained
Dispatch is simply Economic Dispatch where the estimated value of the
SO2 allowances being consumed by a unit is included as a part of the
unit's cost of generation.  A lower emitting unit will reflect a
relatively lower emissions cost because it requires fewer sulfur dioxide
(SO2) allowances.

IPL's plan to implement Emissions Constrained Dispatch is to incorporate
SO2 allowance values into the existing Energy Management System (load
dispatching system), which economically dispatches IPL's generation.  As
the generation required (load) increases, the available unit with the
lowest incremental cost is dispatched to meet the increase.  As the
generation demanded decreases, the unit with the highest incremental cost
is dispatched to reduce its generation, thereby minimizing cost.

Currently, the Energy Management System uses incremental heat rates, along
with fuel and variable operation costs to determine the incremental cost of
generation on each unit in service.  Effective January 1, 1995, SO2
emissions related costs will be included in each unit's incremental cost
prior to the incremental costs being compared to make the unit dispatch.
The incremental SO2 value will be in units of dollars per million British
Thermal Units ($/MMBTU) and computed by the following guidelines:

        IPL plans to use EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
        certifiable data for SO2 emission rates in conjunction with
        the incremental value of emission allowances to form the
        emissions dispatch cost in units of $/MMBTU.  Each
        generating unit affected by the Clean Air Act will have its
        own specific SO2 emissions data input into the Energy
        Management System at the beginning of each month.  That data
        will remain for the month unless projected coal deliveries
        for the month have an SO2 value that will change the current
        dispatch.  The Fuel Supply Organization will notify the System
        Operation Office of the projected coal delivery SO2 emission
        rate in #SO2/MMBTU, so that a correct So2 emission rate can
        be input into the Energy Management System.

        Optimization of unit loadings in the Energy Management
System is constrained by equipment physical limitations such as maximum rate
of load pickup or maximum load reduction rate on a unit as well as
contrained by the maximum and minimum capability of the units.

        IPL's Treasury Organization will not less often than the 10th day
        of each month supply the IPL System Operation Office the incremental
        value of an emission allowance in units of dollars per ton of SO2
        based upon the Cantor Fitzgerald asking price for allowances, or
        other nationally recognized allowance trading market price, for use
        in IPL's emission constrained dispatch on a forward going basis.
        Beginning January 1, 1995, the allowance price that will be used
        for purposes of IPL's emissions constrained dispatch will be the
        asking price for allowances obtained from Cantor Fitzgerald on
        December 30, 1994.  The Treasury Organization will track the
        emission allowance market and if a significant change in
        allowance prices occurs within a given month, the Treasury
        Organization may provide an updated allowance price value to the
        IPL System Operation Office.  The updated allowance price will
        be entered into the Energy Management System and the economic
        dispatch algorithm will be updated accordingly.

The emissions cost will be added with the fuel and variable operating cost
to produce a total dispatch cost.  The total dispatch cost will be combined
with the incremental unit heat rate data to produce the total incremental
dispatch cost as calculated by the following formula:

        INCREMENTAL COST = (Fuel Cost + Emissions Value Divided By
                                Variable Operating Cost) X Incremental
                                Heat Rate

The dimensions for each of the variables is as follows:

        Emissions Value, $/MMBTU; Fuel Cost, $/MMBTU; Variable Operating
        Cost $/MMBTU; Incremental Heat Rate, MMBTU/MWH; Allowance Value,
        $/Allowance; Incremental Cost, $/MWH

The dispatch made using the total incremental cost, including SO2 emissions
related costs, will constitute IPL's Emissions Constrained Dispatch.

Interest on unpaid amounts shall accrue at 1/2 percent over the
per annum rate of interest equal to the prime lending rate as may
from time to time be published in The Wall Street Journal under
"Money Rates" and is chargeable from the due date of the bill to
the date of payment.  The term 'month' shall mean a calendar month
for the purpose of settlements under this agreement."

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1   IPL hereby represents that it has, and currently projects
that it will have, sufficient capacity in its transmission system
to provide Hoosier with the transmission service contemplated by
this Service Schedule G.  IPL hereby reserves and agrees to make
available to Hoosier, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5
below, sufficient capacity in said transmission system to provide
for such transmission service subject, however, to the capacity of
such transmission system required to serve the actual load of
IPL's customers now and in the future.

2.2   IPL agrees to provide temporary transmission services to
Hoosier for the purpose of delivering up to 20 MW of power
(demand) and energy from any of the interconnection points between
IPL and Hoosier for each of the tap points described and referred
to in the 1981 Agreement as the Honey Creek and Mullinix Tap
Points ("Tap Points").  This temporary transmission service shall
be available at all times during the term of this Service Schedule
G except as stated in Section 2.5 of this Service Schedule.

2.3   Any power (demand) and energy delivered by IPL to the Tap
Points shall be simultaneously supplied to IPL from Hoosier at any
other interconnection point or points provided for in the 1981
Agreement.  The power and energy shall be adjusted to compensate
IPL for electrical losses incurred in the delivery of such power.
Any difference in power and energy delivered to Hoosier through
said Tap Points and that supplied by Hoosier to IPL shall be
settled for in accordance with Section 3.03 of the 1981 Agreement.

2.4   The parties shall plan, maintain and operate their
respective systems in accordance with sound engineering and
operating practice, so as to minimize the likelihood of
disturbance(s) originating in either party's system which might
cause impairment of the transmission service provided hereunder.

2.5   The Parties shall plan for continuous unrestricted operation

interrupt or restrict service for necessary maintenance, system
emergency, or if either determines that its facilities may be
damaged due to excessive loadings caused by the transmission
service provided hereunder.  Should such interruptions or
restrictions occur, the parties shall cooperate to restore such
service to normal as soon as practicable.  Excessive loads are
current flows exceeding the normal facility ratings with all
facilities in service, or current flows exceeding emergency
facility ratings under contingency conditions.  Neither party
shall be responsible to the other party for damage or loss of
revenue caused by such restrictions or interruptions.  Excessive
loadings shall be verified by either metering records or mutually
agreed upon load flows.  Maintenance outages shall be coordinated
between the parties whenever possible.

2.6   IPL shall periodically conduct studies of its future system,
and if such studies indicate problems due to IPL's load growth
which may arise in the future due to the transmission service
provided hereunder, shall as soon as practicable, develop plans
and estimates of cost for the installation of any additional
equipment or facilities necessary to effect a long term solution
to such problem so that transmission services hereunder may be
reliably continued, and shall notify Hoosier of such studies and
plans.  IPL shall use its best efforts to provide Hoosier with a
three year advance notice of any impending problems.

Upon approval of long term remedial plans by Hoosier, IPL shall
proceed to install required facilities, and upon completion
thereof, Hoosier shall commence reimbursement to IPL of Hoosier's
proportionate share of costs involved in designing and installing
such facilities which shall be calculated as a function of
variables such as:

a)   Share of existing facilities utilized by each party, and;

b)   Timing of required capacity with and without Hoosier's power
transfers; and

c)   Useful life of new facilities, and;

d)   Remaining term of Service Schedule, and;

e)   Other consequential variables determined at the time when
excessive loadings are observed or mutually projected.

In the event Hoosier does not elect to participate in the remedial
plans prescribed above Hoosier may elect to continue service on a
restricted basis when necessary and on an unrestricted basis at
all other times.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1   Electric power measured in kilowatts delivered at the Tap
Points under this Service Schedule shall be billed at $0.92 per
kilowatt month.  This demand charge for use of IPL's transmission
facilities shall be on the maximum hourly demand in kilowatts,
measured in the calendar month of billing, and shall be adjusted
to compensate IPL for losses in the IPL system and in the
transformer banks used at the Tap Points.

TENTH SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

TO 

INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

AND 

PSI ENERGY, INC.

0.01.  THIS TENTH SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT, dated as of the 26TH day of June,
2002 (the "2002 Agreement") between INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY (hereinafter
called "IPL" or a "Party"), an Indiana corporation, and PSI ENERGY, INC.,
formerly named Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc., (hereinafter called "PSI" or a
"Party"), an Indiana corporation, (IPL and PSI are hereinafter sometimes called
"Parties".) 

WITNESSETH:

0.02.  WHEREAS, there is now in force and effect between PSI and IPL an
interconnection agreement dated as of May 1, 1992, as supplemented and amended thereto (such
agreement as so amended and supplemented being hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"1992 Agreement"); and

0.03.  WHEREAS, IPL and PSI have established a new Interconnection Point
referenced in Subsections 1.01 (viii) and 4.01, as well as a new metering point referenced in
Section 4.03, and have determined that further mutual benefits and advantages may be realized by
the interconnected operation of their respective systems, and, as a result thereof, the 2002
Agreement constitutes an amendment to and complete restatement of the 1992 Agreement and, as such,
supersedes the 1992 Agreement in order to comply with the pagination and designation requirements
of Designation of Electric Rate Schedule Sheets, Order No. 614, III FERC Stats. & Regs.
 31,096 (2000) and to more fully provide the terms and conditions for obtaining such further
mutual benefits and advantages:

0.04.  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants herein set forth, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

 

 

ARTICLE 1

PROVISIONS FOR, AND CONTINUITY OF INTERCONNECTED OPERATION

	Interconnection Points.  The respective 69,000 volt,138,000 volt and 345,000 volt
transmission systems of IPL and PSI are presently interconnected at the following points:

	The 138kv Five Points Interconnection Point
	The 345kv Whitestown Interconnection Point
	The 345kv Gwynneville Interconnection Point
	The 138kv Petersburg Interconnection Point
	The 345kv Petersburg Interconnection Point
	The 138kv Centerton Interconnection Point
	The 138kv Carmel Tap Point

(viii)The 345kv Frances Creek Interconnection Point

	Future Interconnection Points.  The services provided for by the 2002 Agreement
may also be rendered through such other points of interconnection as the Parties may later agree
upon by amending the 2002 Agreement.

	Synchronous Operation.  The Parties mutually agree that, except as provided in
Service Schedule D hereof, their respective systems will be continuously operated in parallel
(except in cases of interruption of such parallel operation due to mutually agreed upon maintenance
or due to causes beyond the control of either Party, or due to the necessity of an interruption of
parallel operation in order that the native load served by either Party may continue to receive
adequate service from such Party).  If synchronous operation of the systems through a particular
line or lines become interrupted either manually or automatically because of any of the above-
stated reasons, the Parties shall cooperate so as to remove the cause of such interruption as soon
as practicable and restore such line or lines to normal operating conditions.

1.03.1.  Inadvertent Flow.  It is recognized that in interconnected system
operation, power and reactive flow will exist on an interconnection due to scheduled power flow
from either Party to third parties or between third parties.  This inadvertent power flow depends
mainly on the design of the internal systems of the Parties and the interconnected system, and the
schedules of power flows on the interconnections.

	  Interruption of Operations.  If, in the sole judgment of either Party, the
power or reactive flow over the interconnection facilities of either Party is excessive to the
extent that it jeopardizes the reliability of either Party's service to its customers, the Parties
shall attempt to agree upon adequate corrective measures to eliminate or control such excessive
power or reactive flow; provided, however, that in the event such a situation exists, the Party so
burdened shall have the right, with notice when possible to the other Party, to open and leave open
one  or all of the interconnections between the respective systems of the Parties until corrective
action has been taken.  The Parties further aggress to study and negotiate the installation,
ownership, and cost of any additional equipment necessary to effect a long-term solution to any
such excessive loading as herein described in the event either Party determines that this
interconnection contributes to the excessive loading and requests such negotiation.

	Maintenance of Equipment.  Each of the Parties shall keep, or shall cause to be
kept, the transmission lines together with all associated equipment and appurtenances that are
located on their respective sides of the Interconnection Points specified in Section 1.01 hereof,
or agreed upon pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof, in a suitable condition of repair at all times,
each at its own expense, in order that said transmission lines will operate in a reliable and
satisfactory manner and in order that reduction in the effective capacity of said transmission
lines will be avoided to the extent practicable.

 

ARTICLE 2

SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

	Interconnection Services Schedules.  It is the purpose of the Parties to seek and
realize, on an equitable basis, all benefits which may be practicably effected through coordination
in the operation and development of their respective systems.  It is understood by the Parties that
such benefits may be realized by each of them by carrying out under stated terms and conditions
various interconnection services and transactions that may from time to time include among
others:

	The furnishing of emergency service,
	The interchange, sale, and purchase of energy to effect operating economies,
	The sale and purchase of short term electric power and energy available on the system of one
Party and needed on the system of the other, and
	The transmission of power and energy on the basis of simultaneous transfers.

In furtherance of such purpose, the Parties shall create, and continue the functioning of, an
Operating Committee, as provided in Article 7 hereof.

	Specific Terms and Conditions.  Since the specific services to be rendered in
furtherance of such purpose will vary during the term of the 2002 Agreement, and the terms and
conditions applicable to such services may require modification from time to time, it is intended
that such specific services and the terms and conditions applicable thereto will be set forth in
Service Schedules mutually agreed upon between the Parties. Such Service Schedules, unless and
until changed, terminated, or supplemented, shall be those specified in Section 2.03 hereof.  If a
Service Schedule under the 2002 Agreement is changed or supplemented, such Service Schedule shall
be fully restated in order to reflect such change or supplement.

	Service Schedules.  The respective Service Schedules designated

Service Schedule A - Emergency Service

Service Schedule B - Interchange Energy

Service Schedule C - Short Term Power and Energy

Service Schedule D - Carmel Southeast Tap Network Power & Energy 

                                                          Transfer

have been agreed upon between the Parties, are identified as Exhibits I, II, III, and IV,
respectively, to the 2002 Agreement and are attached hereto and made a part hereof the same as if
incorporated herein.  It is contemplated by the Parties that all additional mutually agreed upon
Service Schedules will be made a part of the 2002 Agreement upon presentation and acceptance
thereof. 

2.04.  Out-Of-Pocket Costs. The term "Out-of-Pocket Cost" of energy from
generating units on the system of a Party shall consist of any costs that are directly incurred by
IPL or PSI by reason of its generation of such energy and which otherwise would not have been
incurred by such system including, but not limited to, fuel, labor, operation, maintenance, start-
up, fuel handling, taxes, regulatory commission charges, and emission allowances.

"Out-of-Pocket Cost" of energy purchased from a third party by the supplying Party
shall consist of the total amount paid therefore by the supplying Party which otherwise would not
have been paid by such Party, plus any cost which otherwise would not have been incurred,
including, but no limited to, regulatory commission charges, emission allowances, transmission
losses and taxes related to such transaction. 

Tax expenses will be the expenses that are incurred as taxes either in connection with the sale
or production of such energy

2.05.  Emission Allowances.  The federal Clean Air Act, as amended,
42 U.S.C.  7401 et seq. (hereinafter referred to as "Clean Air Act"), establishes
certain annual maximum sulfur dioxide ("SO2") levels, stated in terms of
required emission allowances, for flue gases emitted by electric generating units, including units
operated by IPL, PSI and other electric utilities who may supply electric energy for transactions
under the 2002 Agreement.  The generator of the electric energy supplied and delivered under the
2002 Agreement is required by the Clean Air Act to have adequate "allowances" (as defined
by Section 402 (3) of the Clean Air Act in conjunction with Section 403 (f) of the Clean Air Act)
in order to generate such electric energy.  To the extent that either IPL or PSI are required by
the Clean Air Act to have additional allowances by reason of its generation of electric energy to
be supplied by it under the 2002 Agreement, which allowances would otherwise not have been required
by such supplying by it under the 2002 Agreement, which allowances would otherwise not have been
required by such supplying Party, then, unless the supplying Party otherwise agrees in advance in
writing, at the discretion of the supplying Party, the Party receiving such energy shall be
responsible for the cost or the actual furnishing (without cost to the supplying Party) of adequate
allowances to the supplying Party in order for such Party to supply such energy under the
Agreement.  The Parties shall establish, by mutual agreement, appropriate procedures in order to
carry out the provisions of this Section 2.05, including a statement of costs before any
transactions under the Service Schedules attached hereto are started.  Also, prior to
implementation of every transaction under the Service Schedules attached hereto, the purchasing
Party must declare whether they will pay in cash or return SO2 Allowances in-kind for
any consumption of SO2 Allowances directly attribute to such transaction, if any.

It shall be the responsibility of the supplying Party to provide the receiving Party, before the
transaction begins, with a statement of the estimated emission allowance charges associated with
the transaction which the supplying Party is seeking to add to the rates to be charged under the
applicable Service Schedule.  Failure of the supplying Party to provide a statement of such charges
before the transaction begins shall constitute a waiver of the recovery of any such costs.  In
establishing such procedures, the Parties shall recognize that the determination of the additional
allowances required in order to generate the electric energy to be supplied hereunder is subject to
variables contingent upon the loading and operating conditions on the system where the actual
generation occurs. The procedures so established by the Parties shall be in accord with sound
engineering principles of power plant and system operation, and shall require the furnishing of
such additional allowances at such times and in such amounts as will be equitable to the supplying
Party.

When IPL is the supplier of energy and emission allowances, the recovery of the applicable costs
for the actual furnishing of adequate allowances in order for IPL to generate and supply such
energy will be implemented in the following manner:

	The Buyer shall compensate IPL for the consumption of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Allowances
("SO2 Allowances") directly attributed to electric energy sales by IPL to
Buyer under the Service Schedules.  Such compensation shall, at Buyer's option, be made by either
supplying IPL with the number of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to such energy
sales, or by reimbursing IPL for the incremental cost of such number of SO2 Allowances,
rounded to the nearest whole SO2 Allowance.  

If Buyer opts to reimburse IPL in cash for SO2 Allowances associated with Buyer's
energy purchases for the month, the cash amount due at billing will be determined by multiplying
the number of SO2 Allowances, as determined in Subsection 2 (b) of this Section 2.05, at
the time of the sale.  If Buyer opts to reimburse IPL in SO2 Allowances Buyer will
record or transfer to IPL's account, the number of SO2 Allowances calculated below, at
the time cash settlement for the energy is due.  In all cases, Buyer will transfer to IPL's account
the number of SO2 Allowances calculated below, at the time cash settlement for the
energy is due.  In all cases, Buyer will transfer to IPL's account the number of SO2
Allowance due IPL for calendar year no later than January 15 of the following year.  "Transfer
to IPL's account" shall mean, for purposes of the 2002 Agreement, the transfer by the USEPA of
the requisite number of SO2 Allowances to IPL's Allowance Tracking System account and
the receipt by IPL of the Allowance Transfer Confirmation

	Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances Due IPL

	Number of SO2 Allowances

The number of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to an energy sale made by IPL shall
be determined for each hour, by determining the contribution from each of the unit(s) from which
the energy sale is being made for that hour.  For each unit, the emission rate in pounds of
SO2 per million Btu will be determined each month, from fuel sulfur content, control
equipment performance, and continuous emissions monitoring data. The emission rate and the unit
heat rate will be used to determine the SO2 Allowances used per megawatt-hour
("MWH").  The energy from each unit attributable to the sale, and the SO2
Allowance per MWH for each unit, will be used to determine the number of SO2 Allowances
attributable to the sale.

	Cost of SO2 Allowances

The incremental SO2 Allowance cost used to determine economic dispatch of IPL's
generating units in any month, will also be the basis used to determine compensation for IPL's
energy sales.  The incremental SO2 Allowances cost, in dollars per ton of
SO2, shall be determined each month and will be based on the Cantor Fitzgerald offer
price for SO2 Allowances, or if such is not available, then another nationally
recognized SO2 Allowance trading market price or market price index, at the beginning of
the month. The SO2 Allowance value may be changed at any time during the month to
reflect the more current incremental cost, or market price, for SO2 Allowances.  Buyer
will be notified of the new SO2 Allowance value prior to dispatch of IPL energy to
Buyer.

When PSI is the supplier of energy and emission allowances, the recovery of the applicable costs
for the actual furnishing of adequate allowances in order for PSI to generate and supply such
energy will be implemented in the following manner:

	The current Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") auction price to value emission
allowances will be used for energy sales transactions.  The dispatch criteria may be revised from
time to time if the emission allowance purchases on the average are determined to be significantly
different than the EPA auction price.
	For each hour in which there is a transaction for energy services using an Out-of-Pocket Cost
rate under the 2002 Agreement, PSI will:

	identify the generation sources used to provide the transaction's energy by identifying the
energy that would not have been used had the transaction not been in effect that hour by using the
same after-the-fact incrementing costing model that is used to calculate the incremental cost of
fuel under the 2002 Agreement;

 

	determine, using the following formula, the quantity of emission allowances related to the
energy transaction: (i) by calculating an incremental heat rate for the appropriate generating unit
and the corresponding incremental SO2 emission levels, as determined by the computer
based tools, for the identified units dispatched to serve the transaction; (ii) applying the
following formula for such unit; (iii) adding together the total number of tons of SO2
produced per million BTU (i.e., British Thermal Unit) of fuel burned by each such unit for
the transaction; and (iv) letting one (1) emission allowance equal one (1) ton of SO2 so
produced. 

# OF UNITS

S
 (MBTU sale - MBTU no sales) *  (SO2) *   (100%-SE)

       100%

MBTU sale = Million BTU consumed on unit n with sale.

MBTU no sale = Million BTU consumed on unit n without sale.

SO2 = Tons of SO2 produced per million BTU of fuel burned. 

SE = Scrubber Efficiency in %

PSI will perform periodic tests to maintain the accuracy and validity of such emission rate
information.  Because some generating sources may not be subject to Clean Air Act during Phase I or
Phase II thereunder, there will be no emission allowance charges included for the utilization of
such an energy source while it is not subject to such requirements.  One (1) emission allowance
shall be assigned to each ton of SO2 emitted to serve the transaction.  Fractions of
emission allowance tons will be rounded up to the next whole number when the fraction is equal to
or greater than .5 and rounded down when the fraction is less than .5.

	The purchasing Party of energy shall have the option of purchasing or providing emission
allowance for each transaction.  The purchasing Party shall notify PSI of its election to purchase
or provide emission allowances prior to the start of the transaction.  The running quantity of
emission allowances charged or furnished will be shown on the monthly invoices to the purchasing
Party.
	When the purchasing Party of energy elects to purchase the emission allowances from PSI, then
the quantity of emission allowances used will be included as part of the charges on the monthly
invoices to the purchasing Party.
	By January 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the transaction
occurred, the purchasing Party of energy shall transfer the appropriate emission allowances to PSI
for the emission allowances used when the allowances are provided in kind.
	PSI has adopted the same incremental cost calculation to value emission allowances for dispatch
criteria as for billing energy transactions.

 

ARTICLE 3

SERVICE CONDITIONS

	Control of System Disturbance.  Each Party shall maintain and operate its system
so as to minimize, in accordance with sound operating practice , the likelihood of disturbance
originating in either Party's system which might cause impairment to the service of the system of
the other Party or of any system interconnected with the system of the other Party.

	  Control of Kilovar Exchange.  It is the intent that neither Party shall be
obligated to deliver kilovars for the benefit of the other Party; also that neither Party shall be
obligated to receive kilovars when to do so may introduce objectionable operating conditions on its
system.  The Operating Committee shall be responsible for the establishment of operating procedures
and schedules in respect of carrying kilovar loads by one Party's systems for the other Party's
system in order to secure adequate service and economical use of facilities of both Party's systems
and in respect of proper charges, if any, for the use of facilities carrying kilovar loads.  In
discharging such duties, the Operating Committee shall recognize that in the transmission and
delivery of power and energy hereunder the carrying of kilovar loads by either Party, in harmony
with sound engineering principles of transmission operation with their systems interconnected, is
subject to numerous variables contingent upon loading and operating conditions existing
simultaneously on the systems of both Parties.  The operating procedures and schedules so
established by the Operating Committee shall be in accord with such principles and shall require
each Party to carry kilovar loads at such times and in such amounts as will be equitable to both
Parties.

	Control of Unscheduled Power Deliveries.  The Parties shall exercise due
diligence and foresight in carrying out all matters related to the providing and operating of their
respective electric power resources so as to minimize to the extent practicable deviations between
actual and scheduled deliveries of electric power and energy between their systems.  The Parties
shall provide and install on their respective systems such communication and telemetering
facilities as are essential to so minimize such deviations and, in developing and executing
operating procedures that will enable the Parties to avoid to the extent practicable deviation from
scheduled deliveries, shall fully cooperate with each other and with third parties whose systems
are either directly or indirectly interconnected with the systems of the Parties and who of
necessity, together with the Parties must unify their efforts cooperatively to achieve effective
and efficient interconnected operation.  The Parties recognize, however, that, despite their best
efforts to prevent the same, unscheduled deliveries of electric energy from one Party to the other
may occur.  In such event, electric energy delivered hereunder shall be settled for by the return
of equivalent energy.  Equivalent energy shall be returned at times when the load conditions of the
Party receiving it are equivalent to the load conditions of such Party at the time the energy for
which it is returned was delivered or, if such Party elects to have equivalent energy returned
under different conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the
Operating Committee, as will compensate for the difference in conditions.

 

ARTICLE 4

DELIVERY POINTS, METERING POINTS, AND METERING

	Delivery Points.  All electric energy delivered under the 2002 Agreement shall be
of the character commonly know as three-phase sixty Hertz energy, and shall be delivered at the
Interconnection Points specified under Section 1.01 hereof, at a nominal voltage of 138,000 volts
at the Five Points and Centerton Interconnection Points, at the 138KV Petersburg Interconnection
Point, and at the Carmel Tap Point; and at a nominal voltage of 345,000 volts at the Whitestown and
Gwynneville Interconnection Points, at the 345KV Petersburg Interconnection Point, and at the
Frances Creek Interconnection Point; and at such other points and voltages as hereafter may be
agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof. In addition to the interconnection
points provided in Sections 1.01 and 1.02, PSI may request IPL deliver electric energy under the
2002 Agreement at interconnection points IPL may have with third parties (hereinafter referred to
as "Alternate Delivery Points").

	Billing Based on Scheduled Transactions.  As IPL and PSI systems are
interconnected with other systems forming a network, it is recognized that, because of the physical
and electrical characteristics of the facilities involved, a part or all of the energy being
transferred from one Party to the other may flow through such other systems rather than through the
point or points of connection between the systems of the Parties.  A part or all of the power being
transferred between other systems in the network may flow through the point or points of connection
between the systems of the Parties, and as a result be included in the demand and energy meter
readings at the point or points of interconnection.  Therefore, all billings shall be based on
scheduled transactions or upon methods determined by the Operating Committee which may result from
development of arrangements with other interconnected systems and which provide a basis for
accounting for the power and energy transfers actually contracted for between the Parties.

	  Metering Points.  Electric power and energy supplied and delivered under the
2002 Agreement shall be measured by suitable metering equipment which shall be provided, owned and
maintained by PSI or IPL as designated below at the following metering points:

	138,000 volt metering equipment installed by PSI at the Five Points Substation; 138,000 volt
metering equipment installed by PSI at the Centerton Substation; 138,000 and 345,000 volt metering
equipment installed by IPL at the Petersburg Station; 345,000 volt metering equipment install by
IPL at its Sunnyside Substation and at PSI's Gwynneville and Whitestown Substations; 12.47kv
metering equipment installed by PSI at its Carmel Southeast Substation; and 345,000 volt metering
equipment installed by PSI at its Frances Creek Substation, and
	At such other locations as hereafter may be agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 1.02
hereof.

 

Electric power and energy supplied and delivered at the Alternate Delivery Points specified in
Section 4.01 shall be measured by metering equipment either provided, owned and maintained by IPL
or third parties. Such metering equipment shall not be subject to Sections 4.04 through 4.07 but
shall meet the reasonable requirements of the Operating Committee.

	Metering Equipment.  Suitable metering equipment at the metering points as
described in Section 4.03 above shall include electric meters, potential and current transformers,
and such other appurtenances as shall be necessary to give for each direction of flow the following
quantities: (i) an automatic record of the kilowatt-hours for each clock-hour, and (ii) a
continuous integration record of the kilowatt-hours.

	Measurement of Electric Energy.  Measurements of electric energy for the purpose
of effecting settlements under the 2002 Agreement shall be made by standard types of electric
meters installed and maintained (unless otherwise provided for in the Agreement) by the owner at
the metering points described in Section 4.03 above.  The timing devices of all meters having such
devices shall be maintained in the synchronism as closely as practicable. 

The meters shall be sealed and the seals shall be broken only upon occasions when the meters are
to be tested or adjusted.  For the purpose of checking the records of the metering equipment
installed by one of the Parties as hereinabove provided, the other Party shall have the right to
install check metering equipment at the aforesaid metering points.  Metering equipment so installed
by one Party on the premises of the other Party, unless otherwise provided for in the 2002
Agreement, shall be owned and maintained by the Party installing such equipment.  Upon termination
of the 2002 Agreement, the Party owning such metering equipment shall remove it from the premises
of the other Party.  Authorized representatives of both Parties shall have access at all reasonable
hours to the premises where the meters are located and to the records made by the meters. 

	Testing and Access to Meters and Records.  The aforesaid metering equipment shall
be tested by the owner at suitable intervals and its accuracy of registration maintained in
accordance with good practice.  On request of either Party, a special test may be made at the
expense of the Party requesting such special test. Representatives of both Parties shall be
afforded the opportunity to be present at All Routine or Special Tests and upon occasions when any
readings, for purposes of settlements hereunder, are taken from meters not bearing an automatic
record.

	Adjustments Due to Inaccuracies.  If at any test of metering equipment an
inaccuracy shall be disclosed exceeding two percent, the account between the Parties for service
theretofore delivered shall be adjusted to correct for the inaccuracy disclosed over the shorter of
the following two periods:  (i)  for the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding the day of
the test, or (ii) for the period that such inaccuracy may be determined to have existed.  Should
the metering equipment described in Section 4.04 above at any time fail to register, the electric
power and energy delivered shall be determined from the check meters, if installed, or otherwise
shall be determined from the best available data.

 

ARTICLE 5

RECORDS AND STATEMENTS

5.01.  Records.  In addition to records of the metering
provided for in Article 4 hereof, the Parties shall keep in duplicate such other records as may be
needed to afford a clear history of the various deliveries of electric energy made by one Party to
the other and of the clock-hour integrated demands in kilowatt-hours delivered by one Party to the
other.  In maintaining such records, the Parties shall effect such segregations and allocations of
demands and electric energy delivered into classes representing the various 

services and conditions as may be needed in connection with settlements under the 2002
Agreement.  The originals of all such records shall be retained by the Party keeping the records
and the duplicates shall be delivered monthly to the other Party, except that the Parties may agree
upon a different time interval for such delivery.

	Statements.  As promptly as practicable after the end of each calendar month, the
Parties shall prepare a statement setting forth the electric power and energy transactions between
the Parties during such month in such detail and with such segregations as may be needed for
operating records or for settlements under the provisions of the 2002 Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 6

BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS

	Billing Period.  Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, the calendar month
shall be the standard billing period for all settlements under the 2002 Agreement.

	Billing scheduled Transactions.  All billing shall be based on scheduled
transactions unless otherwise determined as provided in Section 4.02 hereof.

	  Billing Payments.  All bills for amounts owed by one Party to the other Party
shall be due on the first business day following the fifteenth (15th) day after the end
of the calendar month or period service was rendered, or on the tenth (10th) business
day following receipt of a bill, whichever is later.  Payments shall be made by electronic transfer
or by such other mutually agreeable method as shall cause such payment to be available for the
account of the payee on or before the due date.  Interest on unpaid amounts, both principal and
interest, shall accrue daily at the then current prime interest rate per annum of The Chase
Manhattan Bank, N.A., New York, New York, plus two percent (2%) per annum, or the maximum rate
permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date due until the date upon which payment is
made.

	  Estimated Billing Factors.  In order that bills may be rendered promptly
after the end of each month, it may be necessary, from time to time, to estimate certain factors
involved in calculating the monthly billing.  Adjustments for errors in such estimates shall be
included in the bill for the month following the time when information becomes available to make
such corrections or adjustments in the billing for the preceding month or moths.

	Billing Disputes.  If a Party disputes the correctness of a bill, such Party
will, nevertheless, pay the undisputed portion of such bill, plus a minimum of one-half (1/2) of
the disputed amount, and shall submit to the other Party a written statement detailing the items
disputed.  If the Parties are unable to agree upon the disputed items, such items shall be
submitted to the Operating Committee for further action consistent with the 2002
Agreement.

 

 

ARTICLE 7

OPERATING COMMITTEE

	Operating Committee Organization and Duties.  To coordinate the operation of their
respective generation, transmission and substation facilities in order that the benefits of the
2002 Agreement may be realized by the Parties to the fullest practicable extent, the Parties shall
establish a committee of authorized representatives to be known as the Operating Committee.  Each
of the Parties shall designate in writing delivered to the other Party, the person who is to act as
its authorized representative (the "OC Representative") on said committee (and the person
or persons who may serve as Alternate whenever the OC Representative is unable to act).  The OC
Representative and Alternate or Alternates shall each be persons familiar with the generation,
transmission, and substation facilities of the system of the Party he represents, and each shall be
fully authorized (i) to cooperate with the other OC Representative (or Alternates) and (ii) as the
need arises and subject to the declared intentions of the Parties as herein set forth and to the

connection with the performance of the 2002 Agreement.

	Unanimous Action.  All actions taken by said Operating Committee must be by
unanimous vote or consent of all OC Representatives (including Alternates acting during OC
Representatives' absence).

	Expenses.  The expenses for establishing and maintaining the Operating Committee
shall be the responsibility of each individual Party as regards its respective personnel.  Any
expenses jointly incurred by said Operating Committee in carrying out its duties, other than for
the Parties' personnel, shall be shared equally by the Parties.

 

	Authority to Amend or Supplement.  The Operating Committee may recommend changes to the
2002 Agreement, but said Operating Committee shall not have authority to amend or supplement the
2002 Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 8

CONTINUITY AND SUSPENSION OF SERVICE

RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND LIABILITY LIMITS

	Continuity and Suspension of Service.  Each Party shall exercise reasonable care and
foresight to maintain continuity of service as provided in the 2002 Agreement.  In no event shall
one Party be liable to the other Party or its customers for loss or damage arising from failure to
provide or for the interruption or suspension of any service provided for herein.  Each Party
reserves the right to suspend service without liability at such time and for such periods and in
such manner as it deems advisable, including, without limitation, suspensions for the purpose of
making necessary adjustments to, changes in, or repairs on, its facilities and to suspend service
in cases where, in its sole opinion, the continuance of service to the other Party would endanger
persons or property.  Both Parties shall use their best efforts to provide each other with
reasonable notice in the event of suspension of service.

	Relative Responsibilities.  Each Party assumes all responsibility for receipt and
delivery of electricity on its system to and from the Points of Interconnection specified in
Section 1.01 hereof or agreed upon pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof or as requested by PSI pursuant
to Section 4.01.  Neither Party assumes any responsibility with respect to the construction,
installation, maintenance or operation of the system of the other Party or of the systems of third
parties, in whole or in part.  In no event shall one Party be liable to the other Party for damage
or injury to any person or property, whatsoever, arising, accruing or resulting from, in any
manner, the receiving, transmission, control, use, application or distribution of said electric
power and energy.  Each Party shall use reasonable diligence to maintain its facilities in proper
and serviceable condition, and shall take reasonable steps and precautions for maintaining the
services agreed to be provided and received under the 2002 Agreement.  Each Party shall be
responsible for its own compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and shall bear all
costs arising from its failure to comply with such environmental regulations.

	Limitation of Liability.  In no event shall one Party be liable to the other
Party for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages with respect to any claim
arising out of the 2002 Agreement.
