 Exhibit 10.5 
 AMENDMENT TO THE 
 ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION SEVERANCE PLAN

 WHEREAS, the Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of ALLIANT ENERGY
CORPORATION (the “Company”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to amend the Alliant Energy Corporation Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”); and 

WHEREAS, the Committee expressly reserves the right to modify, amend, suspend or terminate the Severance Plan, in whole or in part at any
time, by the use of a written amendment; and 
 WHEREAS, under the Severance Plan, an Employee (within the meaning of the
Severance Plan) may continue medical and dental coverage in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) for up to 18 months following such Employee’s termination of employment, in which case the
Company will pay the related coverage premium expenses with respect to the first six months following such termination, and the Employee will be solely responsible for coverage premium expenses with respect to the seventh through eighteenth month
following such termination; and 
 WHEREAS, Employees who have performed services for the Company for no less than ten years and
are eligible for retirement may be eligible for retiree medical coverage under retiree medical plans maintained by the Company or its affiliates. 
 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT: 
 RESOLVED, that, effective as of January 1, 2012,
notwithstanding any provision of the Severance Plan to the contrary, the Severance Agreement and Release (within the meaning of the Severance Plan) and any other agreement or release required to be executed by an Employee as a condition for the
receipt of any payments or benefits under the Severance Plan must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 52nd day after the termination of the Employee’s employment in order for such Employee to receive benefits under the Severance
Plan and the payment or provision of any such payments or benefits shall commence on the 60th day following such termination of employment; and 
 FURTHER RESOLVED, that, effective as of January 1, 2012, notwithstanding any provision of the Severance Plan to the contrary, the Company shall be considered to have terminated an Employee’s
employment for “Cause”, for purposes of the Severance Plan, if such termination is a result of (A) such Employee engaging in intentional conduct not taken in good faith that has caused demonstrable and serious financial injury to the
Company, as evidenced by a determination in a binding and final judgment, order or decree of a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, in effect after exhaustion or lapse of all rights of appeal, in an action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative; (B) such Employee being 

 
convicted of a felony (as evidenced by a binding and final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, in effect after exhaustion or lapse of all rights of appeal), which
substantially impairs such Employee’s ability to perform his or her duties or responsibilities; or (C) the continuing willful and unreasonable refusal by such Employee to perform such Employee’s duties or responsibilities. 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that, effective as of January 1, 2012, notwithstanding any provision of the Severance Plan to the contrary, any
Employee eligible for payments or benefits under the Severance Plan who, upon termination of employment, is also eligible for participation in any retiree medical benefit plan maintained by the Company or its affiliates shall be entitled to six
months of paid retiree medical coverage in lieu of the payment of any COBRA premium by the Company, under the Severance Plan. 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that except as amended hereby, the Severance Plan continues and shall remain in full force and effect in all respects.Form of Amendment Number One

Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows: 
 “A “Change in Control of the Company” shall be
determined with reference to Alliant Energy Corporation as the Company, as more fully set forth below, and shall be deemed to have occurred if an event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred, and such an event is a
change in ownership or 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):

employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary, (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities or (D) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareowners of Alliant in

Alliant or its Affiliates after [•]1, 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 of Alliant or the combined voting power of
the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this Subsection 1(g)(i), any acquisition pursuant to a transaction described in Subsection 1(g)(iii) 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 1(g)(i); or 
 (ii) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors of Alliant then serving: (A) individuals who, on [•], constituted the Board and

directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareowners was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were
directors on [•], or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved; or 
 (iii) Alliant
consummates a merger, consolidation or share exchange of Alliant with any other corporation or issues voting securities of Alliant in connection with a merger, consolidation or share exchange involving Alliant (or any direct or indirect subsidiary
of the Company), other than (A) a merger, consolidation or share exchange which results in the voting securities of Alliant outstanding immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or share exchange continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Alliant or such surviving entity or any parent thereof
outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or share exchange, or (B) a merger, consolidation or share exchange effected to implement a recapitalization of Alliant (or similar transaction) in which no Person (other than an Excluded
Person) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Alliant (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from Alliant or its Affiliates after [•], 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 of Alliant or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

  
  

	     
   1	 Insert date of original agreement. 

 (iv) the shareowners of Alliant approve, and Alliant completes, a plan of complete
liquidation or dissolution of Alliant or the Company effects a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of its assets (in one transaction or a series of related transactions within any period of 24 consecutive months), other than a sale or
disposition by Alliant of all or substantially all of the 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
Alliant immediately prior to such sale. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Change in Control of the Company” 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 common stock of Alliant 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 Alliant immediately following such transaction or series of
transactions.”
