 R E C I T A L S 

WHEREAS, the Company has in effect the Alliant Energy Corporation 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the

Directors of the Company (the “Committee”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Committee has authorized the

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the covenants and agreements herein
set forth, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Award of Restricted Stock. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Employee is granted              shares of Stock (the “Restricted Shares”), subject to adjustment in accordance with the
terms of the Plan. 
 2. Restricted Shares. The Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and agrees with
respect thereto as             follows: 
 (a)
Forfeiture Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Employee may not sell, assign, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise transfer, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Shares other than by transferring them to the Company
or by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the Employee’s rights and to receive the Restricted Shares upon the Employee’s death. If
the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason other than those reasons set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 2 prior to the restrictions lapsing on the Restricted Shares as provided herein, then the Employee shall forfeit
and 

 
surrender the Restricted Shares for no consideration. The foregoing prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender the Restricted Shares upon termination of employment
are herein referred to as the “Forfeiture Restrictions.” 
 (b) Lapse of Forfeiture
Restrictions. Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 2, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as follows:              

(c) Extensions. Except to the extent prohibited by law, in the event of an approved leave of absence from the
Company or period of Disability (as defined below) of the Employee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, extend the lapse date to take into account the period(s) during which the Employee was not actively employed by the Company. 

(d) Immediate Lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions. In the event of (i) a Change in Control (as defined below);
(ii) the Employee’s termination of employment from the Company by reason of death or Disability (as defined below); (iii) the Employee’s Involuntary Termination without Cause (as defined below), or (iv) the Employee’s
Retirement (as defined below), the Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse as to any Restricted Shares that are subject to such restrictions on the date of such Change in Control or termination of employment, as applicable.

 (ii) Change
in Control. The term “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one of the events set forth in the following paragraphs, and such an event is a change in ownership of effective control of a corporation or a change in ownership of
a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(5):

Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates after the Grant Date, pursuant to express authorization by the Board that refers to this exception)
representing 30% or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this Subsection 2(e)(ii)(1) any acquisition
pursuant to a transaction described in Subsection2(e)(ii)(3) and that is not a “Change in Control of the Company” pursuant to such Subsection shall also not constitute a “Change in Control of the Company” for purposes of this
Subsection 2(e)(ii); or 

  

	 	(2)	the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors of the Company then serving: (A) individuals who, on the Grant

connection with a merger, consolidation or share exchange involving the Company (or any Subsidiary), other than (A) a merger, consolidation or share exchange which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to

securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or share exchange, or (B) a merger, 

  
 3

Company’s assets to an entity at least 75% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by Persons in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if there is
consummated any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to own, directly or indirectly, in
the same proportions as their ownership in the Company, an entity that owns all or substantially all of the assets or voting securities of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

 3. Book Entry. The Restricted Shares will be held in book entry by the Company’s
transfer agent in the name of the Employee for that number of Restricted Shares issued to the Employee. 
 4. Transfer After
Lapse of Restrictions. To the extent the Forfeiture Restrictions have lapsed, the Restricted Shares shall thereafter be freely transferable by the Employee, provided that the Employee agrees for himself or herself and his or her heirs,
legatees and legal representatives, with respect to all shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (or any shares of Stock issued pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split thereon or any securities issued in
lieu thereof or in substitution or exchange therefor), that he or she and his or her heirs, legatees and legal representatives will not sell or otherwise dispose of such shares except pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company that
has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or except in a transaction which is determined by counsel to the Company to be exempt from registration under
the Act and any applicable state securities laws; and to execute and deliver to the Company such investment representations and warranties, and to take such other actions, as counsel for the Company determines may be necessary or appropriate for
compliance with the Act and any other applicable securities laws. 
 5. Voting Rights, Dividends and Other Distributions.
Following the issuance of the Restricted Shares under Section 3 and while the Restricted Shares are subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions of Section 2: 

(a) The Employee shall be entitled to exercise full voting rights with respect to such Restricted Shares. 

(b) The Employee shall be entitled to receive any cash dividends (whether regular or otherwise), stock dividends and other
distributions (whether paid in cash or securities) paid or made with respect to the Restricted Shares, provided, however, that any such dividends or distributions shall be held in the custody of the Company and shall be subject to the same
restrictions on transferability and forfeitability that apply to the corresponding Restricted Shares. All dividends or distributions credited to the Employee shall be paid to the Employee within forty-five (45) days following the full vesting
of the Restricted Shares with respect to which such dividends or distributions were made. 
 (c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no dividends or distributions shall be payable to the Employee with respect to, and the Employee shall not have the right to vote the Restricted Shares with respect to, record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect
to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Employee has forfeited the Restricted Shares. 
 6.
Beneficiary Designation. The person whose name appears on the signature page hereof after the caption “Beneficiary” or any successor designated by the Employee in accordance herewith (the person who is the Employee’s
beneficiary at the time of his or her death 

  
 5 

 
is herein referred to as the “Beneficiary”) shall be entitled to exercise the Employee’s rights and receive the Restricted Shares, to the extent the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse,
after the death of the Employee. The Employee may from time to time revoke or change his or her beneficiary without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation that the Committee
receives shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Employee’s death, and in no event shall any designation be effective as of
a date prior to such receipt. If no such beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of the Employee’s death, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Employee or if such designation conflicts with law, then the Employee’s estate
shall be entitled to receive the Restricted Shares following the death of the Employee. If the Committee is in doubt as to the right of any person to receive the Restricted Shares, then the Company may retain the Restricted Shares, without liability
for any interest thereon, until the Committee determines the person entitled thereto, or the Company may deliver the Restricted Shares to any court of appropriate jurisdiction, and such delivery shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the
Company therefor. 
 7. Adjustments. The Committee may adjust the number of shares subject to this Agreement in
accordance with and pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan. 
 8. Withholding of Tax. To the extent that the receipt of
the Restricted Shares or dividends or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in income to the Employee for any federal or state income tax purposes, no later than the date as of which such tax withholding is first required, the Employee
shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal or state income tax required to be withheld with respect to such amount. If the Employee fails to do so, then the Company is authorized
to withhold from any cash remuneration then or thereafter payable to the Employee any tax required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income. If the Employee does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the Restricted Shares, then the Employee shall be allowed to satisfy the tax withholding obligations arising with respect to the Restricted Shares with shares of Stock (including Restricted Shares
upon which the restrictions have lapsed) having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory total tax required to be withheld. 
 9. Powers of Company Not Affected. The existence of this Agreement or the Restricted Shares herein granted shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred, or
prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, or dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a
similar character or otherwise. 
 10. Employment. The granting of Restricted Shares under this Agreement shall not be
construed as granting to the Employee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company shall be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion. 

  
 6 

 11. Interpretation. As a condition of the granting of the Restricted Shares, the
Employee agrees for himself or herself and his or her legal heirs, legatees or representatives, that any dispute or disagreement that may arise under or as a result of or pursuant to this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion, and any interpretation by the Committee of the terms of this Agreement or the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger,
consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the Employee, his or her legal heirs, legatees and representatives.
Except for the designation of a beneficiary as provided herein, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Employee, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void and of no legal effect. 

13. Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by the written consent of the parties hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee need not obtain Employee (or other interested party) consent for any such action: (i) to the extent the action is deemed necessary by the Committee to comply with any applicable law; (ii) to the
extent the action is deemed necessary by the Committee to preserve favorable accounting or tax treatment for the Company of any Award; or (iii) to the extent the Committee determines that such action does not materially and adversely affect the
value of an Award or that such action is in the best interest of the affected Employee. 
 14. Governing Law. The
validity, construction, and effect of the this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to conflict of law principles thereof, and applicable federal law. 

15. Headings. Headings are used in this Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be
deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 16. No Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Stock or other securities shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine (except as otherwise provided in the Plan) whether cash, other
securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares of Stock or other securities, or whether such fractional shares of Stock or other securities or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or
otherwise eliminated.

	3.	Administration. 

 In
addition to the authority specifically granted to the Committee in this Plan, the Committee has full discretionary authority to administer this Plan, including but not limited to the authority to (i) interpret the provisions of this Plan,
(ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, (iii) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award or agreement covering an Award in the manner and to the extent it

and binding on all interested parties. 
  

	4.	Eligibility. 

 The
Committee may designate any of the following as a Participant from time to time: any employee of the Company or its Affiliates. The Committee may not designate executive officers of the Company or its Affiliates as Participants. The Committee’s
designation of a Participant in any year will not require the Committee to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year. The Committee’s granting of a particular type of Award to a Participant will not require the Committee to
grant any other type of Award to such individual. 
  

	5.	Long Term Incentive Awards. 

 Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee will determine all terms and conditions of an Award, including but not limited to the Performance Goals, performance period, the potential amount payable,
the type of payment, and the timing of payment, subject to the following: (a) the Committee must require that payment of all or any portion of the amount subject to the Award is contingent on the achievement or partial achievement of one or
more Performance Goals during the period the Committee specifies; (b) the performance period must relate to a period of more than one fiscal year of the Company except that, if the Award is made at the time of commencement of employment with
the Company or on the occasion of a promotion, then the Award may be pro rated to a shorter period; and (c) payment will be in cash. This Section 5 applies to any awards of Performance Units or Restricted Cash Awards. 

 

	6.	Performance Units. 

 (a)
Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee will determine all terms and conditions of each award of Performance Units, including but not limited to: (i) one or more Performance Goals that must be achieved during such period as the
Committee specifies (which period may not be less than three years); (ii) the number of Performance Units to be awarded to each Participant based on a percentage of that Participant’s salary; and (iii) the target for the Performance
Goal and, to determine the amount to be paid to the Participant, any multiplier to be used in relation to the target for the Performance Goal. 

 (b) Prior to the 75th day following the end of the performance period, provided the
Performance Goals are achieved, the Company shall deliver to the Participant cash equal to the fair market value of one share of Stock for each Performance Unit earned by the Participant, as determined based on the achievement of the Performance
Goal and any multiplier set by the Committee at the time the Award was granted. The earned Performance Units payable to the Participant shall be paid solely in cash based on the fair market value of the Stock (determined based on the closing price
for the Stock on the first business day next following the last day of the performance period, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange). 
  

	7.	Restricted Cash Awards. 

(a) Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee will determine all terms and conditions of each award of Restricted Cash Grants,
including but not limited to: (i) one or more Performance Goals that must be achieved during such period as the Committee specifies; (ii) the amount of the Restricted Cash Awards to be awarded to each Participant based on a percentage of
that Participant’s salary; and (iii) whether and how to measure the value of the Restricted Cash Award in relation to the fair market value of the Stock. 

(b) Prior to the 75th day following the end of the performance period, provided the Performance Goals are achieved, the Company shall
deliver to the Participant cash equal to the Restricted Cash Award. The earned Restricted Cash Awards payable to the Participant shall be paid solely in cash based on the fair market value of the Stock (determined based on the closing price for the
Stock on the first business day next following the last day of the performance period, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange). 
  

	8.	Amendment of Minimum Vesting and Performance Periods. 

 Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan that requires a minimum vesting and/or performance period for an Award, the Committee, at the time an Award is granted or any later date, may subject an Award to
a shorter vesting and/or performance period to take into account a Participant’s hire or promotion. 
 (a) Retirement,
Disability, or Death During Performance Period. If the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates during the Performance Period because of the Employee’s Retirement, Disability, or death, the Employee shall be
entitled to the full value of the Award earned, determined at the end of the Performance Period so long as the termination event occurs after the end of the first performance year of the Performance Period and the Performance Goals are met. If the
termination event occurs during the first year of the Performance Period, the Employee 

 
will be entitled to a prorated value of the award, determined at the end of the Performance Period and only if the Performance Goals are met, based on the ratio of the number of months the
Employee was employed during the Performance Period divided by twelve. 
 (b) Involuntary Termination Without Cause During
Performance Period. If the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates during the Performance Period because of Involuntary Termination without Cause, the Employee shall be entitled to the prorated value of the
Award, determined at the end of the Performance Period, and based on the ratio of the number of months the Employee was employed during the Performance Period to the total number of months in the Performance Period. 

(c) Other Terminations of Employment During Performance Period. If the Employee’s employment with the Company and its
Affiliates terminates during the Performance Period for any reason other than the Employee’s Retirement, Disability, Involuntary Termination without Cause, or death, the Award made under this Agreement will be forfeited on the date of such
termination of employment; provided, however, that in such circumstances, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that the Employee will be entitled to receive a pro rata or other portion of the Award. 

 

	9.	Transferability. 

 Awards
are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and to the extent the Committee allows a Participant to: (a) designate in writing a beneficiary to exercise the Award or receive payment under the Award
after the Participant’s death; or (b) transfer an Award to the former spouse of the Participant as required by a domestic relations order incident to a divorce. 

 

	10.	Termination and Amendment of Plan. 

 (a) Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards. The Committee may modify or amend any Award, or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Award or the exercise of the Award, or
amend, modify or cancel any terms and conditions applicable to any Award, in each case by mutual agreement between the Committee and the Participant or any other person(s) as may then have an interest in the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee need not obtain Participant (or other interested party) consent for any such action: (i) to the extent the action is deemed necessary by the Committee to comply with any applicable law or the listing requirements of any principal
securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded; (ii) to the extent the action is deemed necessary by the Committee to preserve favorable accounting or tax treatment of any Award for the Company; or (iii) to the extent
the Committee determines that such action does not materially and adversely affect the value of an Award or that such action is in the best interest of the affected Participant or any other person(s) as may then have an interest in the Award.

 (b) Survival of Authority and Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of
the Committee will extend beyond the date of this Plan’s termination. In addition, termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants with respect to Awards previously granted to them, and all unexpired Awards will continue in
force and effect after termination of this Plan except as they may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and conditions. 
  

	11.	Taxes. 

 (a)
Withholding. In the event the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is required to withhold any federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in respect of any income recognized by a Participant as a result of the grant, vesting,
payment or settlement of an Award, the Company may deduct (or require an Affiliate to deduct) cash from any payments of any kind otherwise due the Participant to satisfy tax withholding obligations. 

(b) No Guarantee of Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Company does not guarantee to
any Participant or any other person(s) with an interest in an Award that (i) any Award intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A shall be so exempt, (ii) any Award intended to comply with Code Section 409A shall so comply, or
(iii) any Award shall otherwise receive a specific tax treatment under any other applicable tax law, nor in any such case will the Company or any Affiliate indemnify, defend or hold harmless any individual with respect to the tax consequences
of any Award. 
  

	12.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a)
Other Terms and Conditions. The grant of any Award may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Award granted to any other Participant) as the Committee determines appropriate, provided, however, dividend
payment or dividend equivalent payments may not be made with respect to Awards. 
 (b) Employment and Service. The
issuance of an Award shall not confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continued employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate, or the right to continue as an employee of the Company in any capacity. Unless determined otherwise
by the Committee, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards, the following rules shall apply: 
 (i) a Participant
who transfers employment between the Company and its Affiliates, or between Affiliates, will not be considered to have terminated employment; 
 (ii) a Participant who ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate and immediately thereafter becomes a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company, a non-employee member of the
board of directors of an Affiliate, shall not be considered to have terminated employment until such Participant’s service as a member of the board of directors of, or consultant to, the Company and its Affiliates has ceased; and 

 (iii) a Participant employed by an Affiliate will be considered to have
terminated employment when such entity ceases to be an Affiliate. 
 (a) Unfunded Plan. This Plan is unfunded and
does not create, and should not be construed to create, a trust or separate fund with respect to this Plan’s benefits. This Plan does not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other person. To the
extent any person holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under this Plan, such rights are no greater than the rights of the Company’s general unsecured creditors. 
 (b) Deferrals Prohibited. Awards made under this Plan are not eligible to be deferred in the Alliant Energy Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan or the Alliant Energy Deferred Compensation Plan.

 (c) Governing Law. This Plan, and all agreements under this Plan, will be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to any conflict of law principles. 
 (d) Limitations on
Actions. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any award agreement must be brought within one year (365 days) after the day the complaining party first knew or should have known of the events giving rise
to the complaint. 
 (e) Construction. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be
construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and wherever any words are used in the singular or plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or singular, as the case may be, in
all cases where they would so apply. Titles of sections are for general information only, and this Plan is not to be construed with reference to such titles. 
 (f) Severability. If any provision of this Plan or any award agreement or any Award (i) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to
any person or Award, or (ii) would disqualify this Plan, any award agreement or any Award under any law the Committee deems applicable, then such provision should be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be
so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Plan, award agreement or Award, then such provision should be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder
of this Plan, such award agreement and such Award will remain in full force and effect.
