                        EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 20, 1999


                                    ARTICLE I
                                     OFFICES

         SECTION 1.1 PRINCIPAL AND BUSINESS OFFICES. - The Corporation may have
an office in the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and also offices at such other places as
the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the Corporation may
require from time to time.

          SECTION 1.2 REGISTERED OFFICE. - The registered office shall be in the
City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware.


                                   ARTICLE II
                                      SEAL

         SECTION 2.1 CORPORATE SEAL. - The corporate seal shall have inscribed
thereon the name of the Corporation and the words "CORPORATE SEAL, DELAWARE."
Said seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or
affixed or reproduced.


                                   ARTICLE III
                                   SHAREOWNERS

         SECTION 3.1. ANNUAL MEETING. - The Annual Meeting of Shareowners shall
be held at such date and time as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board
of Directors may designate any place for the Annual Meeting. If no designation
is made, the place of the Annual Meeting shall be the principal office of the
Corporation. The Annual Meeting shall be held for the purposes of electing
Directors and of transacting such other business as may properly come before the
meeting.

         SECTION 3.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS. - Special Meetings of the Shareowners may
be called by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer. The
Corporation shall call a Special Meeting of Shareowners in the event that the
holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all of the votes entitled to be cast on
any issue request a special meeting be held.

         SECTION 3.3 NOTICE OF MEETINGS - WAIVER. - Notice of the time and place
of each Annual or Special Meeting of Shareowners shall be sent by mail to the
recorded address of each shareowner not less than ten (10) days nor more than
sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, except in cases where other
special method of notice may be required by statute, in which case the statutory
method shall be followed. The notice of a Special Meeting shall state the
purpose of the meeting. If an Annual or Special Meeting of shareowners is
adjourned to a different date, time or place, the Corporation shall not be
required to give notice of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or
place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided, however, that if
a new record date for an adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, the Corporation
shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to persons who are shareowners as of
the new record date. Notice of any meeting of the shareowners may be waived by
any shareowner.

         SECTION 3.4 FIXING OF RECORD DATE. - For the purpose of determining
shareowners entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareowners, or
at any adjournment thereof, or shareowners entitled to receive payment of any
dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareowners for any other
lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date for
such determination of shareowners. Such date in case of a meeting of shareowners
or other lawful action shall not be less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty
(60) days prior to the date of such meeting or lawful action. If no record date
is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute for the determination of
shareowners entitled to demand a special meeting as contemplated in Section 3.2
hereof, the record date shall be the date that the first shareowner signs the
demand. When a determination of shareowners entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareowners has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof unless the meeting is adjourned to a date more
than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting
in which event the Board of Directors must fix a new record date. If the
adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting
shall be given to each shareowner of record.

         SECTION 3.5 SHAREOWNER LIST. - The Corporation shall have available,
beginning two (2) days after the notice of the meeting is given for which the
list was prepared and continuing to the date of the meeting, a complete record
of each shareowner entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof,
showing the address of and number of shares held by each shareowner. The
shareowner list shall be available for inspection by any shareowner during
normal business hours at the Corporation's principal office or at a place
identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held. The
Corporation shall make the shareowners' list available at the meeting and any
shareowner or his agent or attorney may inspect the list at any time the meeting
or any adjournment thereof.

         SECTION 3.6 QUORUM AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS. - Shares entitled to vote
as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a
quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. A majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote on a matter, represented in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter. If a quorum exists,
except in the case of the election of directors, action on a matter shall be
approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing
the action, unless the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, any Bylaw
adopted under authority granted in the Articles of Incorporation or statute
requires a greater number of affirmative votes. Directors shall be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election of
directors at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Though less than a quorum
of the outstanding votes are represented at a meeting, a majority of the votes
so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally notified.

         SECTION 3.7 CONDUCT OF MEETING. - The Chairperson of the Board shall
preside at each meeting of shareowners. In the absence of the Chairperson of the
Board, such persons, in the following order, shall act as chair of the meeting;
the Vice Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President,
any Vice President, the Director in attendance with the longest tenure in that
office. The Secretary, or if absent, an Assistant Secretary, of the Company
shall act as Secretary of each shareowner meeting.

         SECTION 3.8 PROXIES. - Any shareowner having the right to vote at a
meeting of shareowners may exercise such right by voting in person or by proxy
at such meeting. Such proxies shall be filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the
proxy.

         SECTION 3.9 VOTING OF SHARES. - Except as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation or statute, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be
entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
shareowners.

         SECTION 3.10 VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. - Shares standing in
the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as
the Bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such
provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine.

         Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may
be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of
such shares into that person's name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee
may be voted by such trustee, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer
of such shares into the trustee's name. The Corporation may request evidence of
such fiduciary status with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment.

         Shares standing in the name of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy may
be voted by such receiver or trustee, and shares held by or under the control of
a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer of the shares into

as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a
quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. A majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote on a matter, represented in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter. If a quorum exists,
except in the case of the election of Directors, action on a matter shall be
approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing
the action, unless the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, any Bylaw

or if absent, an Assistant Secretary, of the Corporation shall act as Secretary
of each shareowner meeting.

         SECTION 3.8 PROXIES. - Any shareowner having the right to vote at a
meeting of shareowners may exercise such right by voting in person or by proxy
at such meeting. Such proxies shall be filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in
the proxy.

         SECTION 3.9 VOTING OF SHARES. - Except as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation or statute, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be
entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
shareowners.

         SECTION 3.10 VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. - Shares standing in
the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as
the Bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such
provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine.

         Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may
be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of
such shares into that person's name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee
may be voted by such trustee, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer
of such shares into the trustee's name. The Corporation may request evidence of
such fiduciary status with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment.

         Shares standing in the name of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy may
be voted by such receiver or trustee, and shares held by or under the control of
a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer of the shares into

the court by which such receiver was appointed.

         A pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shares held in
the name of a shareholder shall be entitled to vote such shares. The Corporation
may request evidence of such signatory's authority to sign for the shareholder
with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment.

         Neither treasury shares nor shares held by another corporation, if a
majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of Directors of such
other corporation is held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or
counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

describe the purpose of the meeting of the Board of Directors or the business to
be transacted at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be
delivered when deposited in the United States mail, so addressed, with postage
prepared. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting. The attendance of a
Director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,

to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.

         SECTION 4.6 QUORUM. - A majority of the Board of Directors shall

bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such shares
or rights deriving from such shares, on the part of any other person, including

         SECTION 8.1 INDEMNIFICATION. - The Corporation shall, to the fullest
extent permitted or required by the Iowa Business Corporation Act, including any
amendments thereto (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
such amendment permits or requires the corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than prior to such amendment), indemnify its Directors,
Officers, employees and agents against any and all Liabilities, and advance any
and all reasonable Expenses, incurred thereby in any Proceeding to which any
such Director, Officer, employee or agent is a Party because he or she is or was
a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation. The rights to
indemnification granted hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to indemnification against Liabilities or the advancement of Expenses
which a Director, Officer, employee or agent may be entitled under any written
agreement, Board resolution, vote of shareowners, the Iowa Business Corporation
Act or otherwise. The Corporation may, but shall not be required to, supplement
the foregoing rights to indemnification against Liabilities and advancement of
Expenses under this Section 8.1 by the purchase of insurance on behalf of any
one or more of such Directors, Officers, employees or agents, whether or not the
Corporation would be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to such
Director, Officer, employee or agent under this Section 8.1.

of surplus (whether earned or paid-in) or profits as and when they deem
expedient. Before declaring any dividend there may be set apart out of surplus
or profits such sum or sums as the directors from time to time in their
discretion deem proper for working capital or as a reserve fund to meet
contingencies or for such other purposes as the directors shall deem conducive
to the interests of the Corporation.

         SECTION 9.3 CONTRACTS, CHECKS, DRAFTS, DEEDS, LEASES AND OTHER
INSTRUMENTS. - All contracts, checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of
money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the
Corporation, shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the
Corporation and in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by
resolution of the Board of Directors. The Board may authorize by resolution any
officer or officers to enter into and execute any contract or instrument of
indebtedness in the name of the Corporation, and such authority may be general
or confined to specific instances. All funds of the Corporation not otherwise
employed shall be deposited from time to time to the credit of the Corporation
in such banks or other depositories as the Treasurer may authorize.

         All contracts, deeds, mortgages, leases or instruments that require the
corporate seal of the Corporation to be affixed thereto shall be signed by the
President or a Vice President, and by the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary,
or by such other officer or officers, or person or persons, as the Board of
Directors may by resolution prescribe.

to the specific directions of the Board of Directors, any share or shares of
stock issued by any other corporation and owned or controlled by the Corporation
may be voted at any shareholders' meeting of such other corporation by the
President of the Corporation, if present, or if absent by any other officer of
the Corporation who may be present. Whenever, in the judgment of the President,
or if absent, of any officer, it is desirable for the Corporation to execute a
proxy or give a shareholders' consent in respect to any share or shares of stock
issued by any other corporation and owned by the Corporation, such proxy or
consent shall be executed in the name of the Corporation by the President or one
of the officers of the Corporation and shall be attested by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Corporation without necessity of any authorization by
the Board of Directors. Any person or persons designated in the manner above
stated as the proxy or proxies of the Corporation shall have full right, power
and authority to vote the share or shares of stock issued by such other
corporation and owned by the Corporation in the same manner as such share or
shares might be voted by the Corporation.


                                    ARTICLE X
                          AMENDMENT OR REPEAL OF BYLAWS

         SECTION 10.1 AMENDMENTS BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS. - Except as otherwise
provided by the Iowa Business Corporation Law or the Articles of Incorporation,
these Bylaws may be amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the
Board of Directors by the affirmative vote of a majority of the number of
directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is in attendance; provided,
however, that the shareowners in adopting, amending or repealing a particular
bylaw may provide therein that the Board of Directors may not amend, repeal or
readopt that bylaw.

         SECTION 10.2 IMPLIED AMENDMENT. - Any action taken or authorized by the
shareowners or by the Board of Directors which would be inconsistent with the
Bylaws then in effect but which is taken or authorized by affirmative vote of
not less than the number of shares or the number of directors required to amend
the Bylaws so that the Bylaws would be consistent with such action shall be
given the same effect as though the Bylaws had been temporarily amended or
suspended so far, but only so far, as is necessary to permit the specific action
so taken or authorized.

         SECTION 1.1 PRINCIPAL AND BUSINESS OFFICES. - The Corporation may have

Wisconsin, as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the
Corporation may require from time to time.

         SECTION 1.2 REGISTERED OFFICE. - The registered office of the

transacting such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

         SECTION 3.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS. - Special Meetings of the Shareowners may
be called by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer. The
Corporation shall call a Special Meeting of Shareowners in the event that the
holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all of the votes entitled to be cast on
any issue request a special meeting be held.

         SECTION 3.3 NOTICE OF MEETINGS - WAIVER. - Notice of the time and place
of each Annual or Special Meeting of Shareowners shall be sent by mail to the
recorded address of each shareowner not less than ten (10) days nor more than
sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, except in cases where other
special method of notice may be required by statute, in which case the statutory
method shall be followed. The notice of a Special Meeting shall state the
purpose of the meeting. If an Annual or Special Meeting of shareowners is
adjourned to a different date, time or place, the Corporation shall not be
required to give notice of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or
place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided, however, that if
a new record date for an adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, the Corporation
shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to persons who are shareowners as of
the new record date. Notice of any meeting of the shareowners may be waived by
any shareowner.

         SECTION 3.4 FIXING OF RECORD DATE. - For the purpose of determining
shareowners entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareowners, or
at any adjournment thereof, or shareowners entitled to receive payment of any
dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareowners for any other
lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date for
such determination of shareowners. Such date in case of a meeting of shareowners
or other lawful action shall not be more than seventy (70) days prior to the
date of such meeting or lawful action. If no record date is fixed by the Board
of Directors or by statute for the determination of shareowners entitled to
demand a special meeting as contemplated in Section 3.2 hereof, the record date
shall be the date that the first shareowner signs the demand. When a
determination of shareowners entitled to vote at any meeting of shareowners has
been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any
adjournment thereof unless the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one
hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting in which
event the Board of Directors must fix a new record date.

         SECTION 3.5 SHAREOWNER LIST. - The Corporation shall have available,
beginning two (2) days after the notice of the meeting is given for which the
list was prepared and continuing to the date of the meeting, a complete record
of each shareowner entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof,
showing the address of and number of shares held by each shareowner. The
shareowner list shall be available for inspection by any shareowner during
normal business hours at the Corporation's principal office or at a place
identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held. The
Corporation shall make the shareowners' list available at the meeting and any
shareowner or his agent or attorney may inspect the list at any time the meeting
or any adjournment thereof.

         SECTION 3.6 QUORUM AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS. - Shares entitled to vote
as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a
quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. A majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote on a matter, represented in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter. If a quorum exists,
except in the case of the election of directors, action on a matter shall be
approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing
the action, unless the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, any Bylaw
adopted under authority granted in the Articles of Incorporation or statute
requires a greater number of affirmative votes. Directors shall be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election of
directors at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Though less than a quorum
of the outstanding votes are represented at a meeting, a majority of the votes
so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally notified.

         SECTION 3.7 CONDUCT OF MEETING. - The Chairperson of the Board shall
preside at each meeting of shareowners. In the absence of the Chairperson of the
Board, such persons, in the following order, shall act as chair of the meeting;
the Vice Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President,
any Vice President, the Director in attendance with the longest tenure in that
office. The Secretary, or if absent, an Assistant Secretary, of the Company
shall act as Secretary of each shareowner meeting.

         SECTION 3.8 PROXIES. - Any shareowner having the right to vote at a
meeting of shareowners may exercise such right by voting in person or by proxy
at such meeting. Such proxies shall be filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in
the proxy.

         SECTION 3.9 VOTING OF SHARES. - Except as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation or statute, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be
entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
shareowners.

         SECTION 3.10 VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. - Shares standing in
the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as
the Bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such
provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine.

         Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may
be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of
such shares into that person's name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee
may be voted by such trustee, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer
of such shares into the trustee's name. The Corporation may request evidence of
such fiduciary status with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment.

         Shares standing in the name of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy may
be voted by such receiver or trustee, and shares held by or under the control of
a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer of the shares into
such person's name if authority so to do is contained in an appropriate order of
the court by which such receiver was appointed.

         A pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shares held in
the name of a shareholder shall be entitled to vote such shares. The Corporation
may request evidence of such signatory's authority to sign for the shareholder
with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment.

         Neither treasury shares nor shares held by another corporation, if a
majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of Directors of such
other corporation is held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or
counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors.

         SECTION 4.2 NUMBER. - The number of Directors of the Corporation shall
be fifteen (15).

         SECTION 4.3 CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD. - The Chairperson of the Board if
not designated as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall assist the
Board in the formulation of policies and may make recommendations therefore.
Information as to the affairs of the Company in addition to that contained in
the regular reports shall be furnished to him or her on request. He or she may
make suggestions and recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer regarding

                             INTERSTATE ENERGY CORPORATION
                               TAX ALLOCATION AGREEEMENT



	This Agreement is made by and among Interstate Energy Corporation, a
registered public utility holding company, and its affiliated corporations,
as identified in Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the "Group"; individually,
"member of the Group").

	WHEREAS, the members of the Group are affiliated corporations within
the meaning of section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and will join in the annual filing of a consolidated federal income tax return;

	WHEREAS, the members of the Group intend to allocate the consolidated
income tax liabilities and benefits to each member of the Group in a fair and
equitable manner; and

	WHEREAS, the members of the Group intend to allocate the liabilities
and benefits arising from the Group's annual consolidated income tax returns
in compliance with Title 17, section 250.45(c) of the Code of Federal
Regulations, section 1552(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code and Title 26,
section 1.1502-33(d)(2)(ii) of the Code of Federal Regulations;

IT IS THEREFORE AGREED, as follows:

    SECTION 1   Definitions
                -----------

    For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

   (a) "Consolidated tax" shall mean the Group's aggregate tax liability for a
       tax year as shown on the consolidated federal income tax return and any
       adjustments thereto thereafter determined.

   (b) "Consolidated refund" shall mean the Group's refund for a taxable year
       as shown on the consolidated federal income tax return and any
       adjustments thereto thereafter determined.

   (c) "Separate company taxable income" for this purpose has the meaning as
       defined in Regulation section 1.1502-12; such separate company taxable
       income will be determined as if each member of the group filed separate
       income tax returns.  In computing separate company taxable income, it
       will be assumed that:

       () dividends received by one member of the group from other members of
          the group will qualify for the 100% dividend received deduction
       () gain or loss deferred pursuant to the regulations under section 1502
          shall be included in separate company taxable income in the same
          manner as in the consolidated return
       () charitable contribution deductions deferred pursuant to the
          regulations under section 1502 shall be included in separate company
          taxable income in the same manner as in the consolidated return

   (d) A " Apositive allocation" shall be the obligation to make a payment to
       Interstate Energy Corporation.  A Anegative allocation@ shall be the
       right to receive payment from Interstate Energy Corporation.

   (e) "Cash Call" shall be the notification sent by Interstate Energy
       Corporation to each member of the Group indicating the positive
       allocation or negative allocation attributable to such member.  Such
       notification shall be sent no later than the due date for quarterly
       estimated tax payments, the unextended due date of the return, the
       extended due date of the return, or the filing of an amended return,
       whichever is applicable.  Upon the resolution of an audit, such
       notification shall be sent within a reasonable time.  Interstate Energy
       Corporation will send a notification to each member of the Group even
       if no payment is due to the Internal Revenue Service.

    SECTION 2   General Allocation Method
                -------------------------

    The members of the Group shall allocate the consolidated tax or consolidated
    refund in accordance with the procedures set forth below.  The result of the
    following provisions shall be referred to as a positive allocation or a
    negative allocation, as the case may be.

   (a) The total consolidated tax liability, after all losses and credits
       allowed in arriving at the consolidated tax liability, shall be
       apportioned initially to each member in an amount equal to the ratio
       which that portion of the consolidated taxable income attributable to
       each member having positive separate company taxable income bears to the
       combined taxable income of those members having positive separate
       company taxable income.

   (b) If the consolidated tax liability apportioned to a member in paragraph
       (a) is less than the consolidated tax liability of such member computed
       on a separate return basis, such member shall pay the difference to
       Interstate Energy Corporation, in addition to the amount determined
       under paragraph (a); the member(s) (other than Interstate Energy
       Corporation) to whom such tax reduction is attributable shall receive
       credit for such tax reduction and shall receive payment pursuant to such
       credit from Interstate Energy Corporation pursuant to the provisions of
       Section 5.

   (c) Interstate Energy Corporation shall not receive payment for any tax
       reduction allowed under paragraph (b) above.  If Interstate Energy
       Corporation receives credit for a tax reduction pursuant to paragraph
       (b), then each member having positive taxable income shall be entitled
       to receive a portion of the tax reduction using the allocation method in
       paragraph (a) above.  Members having a taxable loss shall not participate
       in the allocation of Interstate Energy Corporation=s tax reduction.

SECTION 3   Special Allocation Rules
            ------------------------

   (a) Alternative Minimum Tax.  In any year in which alternative minimum tax
       (AMT) is payable by the Group, the consolidated tax shall be separated
       into two parts: regular tax and AMT.

       (1) Regular tax shall be allocated in accordance with the general
           allocation method set forth in Section 2, above.

       (2) AMT will be allocated to each member of the Group based on the
           proportion of:

               (a) the excess of a member=s separate company alternative minimum
                   taxable income over its separate company regular taxable
                   income, to

               (b) the aggregate of the excesses of such companies' alternative
                   minimum taxable income over their regular taxable income.

	(3) Each member whose regular taxable income exceeds its alternative
            minimum taxable income on a separate company basis shall be excluded
            from this calculation and shall not be impacted by the Group's AMT
            liability.

        (4) The minimum tax credit shall be allocated to the members of the
            Group to which the associated AMT was allocated, equal to the
            associated AMT allocated to such members.

   (b) General Business Credit, Section 1341 credit, Capital Loss Carryover,
       Other Tax Benefits and Items Taxed at Different Rates.  Any general
       business credit, section 1341 credit, capital loss carryover, other tax
       benefit and items taxed at rates other than the rate applicable to
       corporate taxable income shall be allocated on a separate return basis to
       those members whose investments or contributions generated the credit,
       capital loss carryover, benefit, or item taxed at a different rate.  If
       the credit, capital loss carryover, benefit, or item taxed at a
       different rate cannot be entirely utilized in the year the item is
       generated, then the item shall be allocated on a separate return basis
       to those members whose investments or contributions generated the credit,
       capital loss carryover, benefit or item taxed at a different rate.

SECTION 4   Payments
            --------

   Each member of the Group is responsible for its own tax liability.  Payment
   of such liability shall be made in accordance with the following procedure:

   (a) A member of the Group with a positive allocation shall pay Interstate
       Energy Corporation, upon receipt of a Cash Call, the amount allocated.

   (b) A member of the Group with a negative allocation shall receive payment
       from Interstate Energy Corporation, upon receipt of a Cash Call, in the
       amount of the  negative allocation.

   (c) Interstate Energy Corporation shall pay to the Internal Revenue Service
       the Group's consolidated tax, or receive from the Internal Revenue
       Service the Group's consolidated refund.

   (d) Interstate Energy Corporation shall make any calculations on behalf of
       the members of the Group necessary to comply with the estimated tax
       provisions of section 6655 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Based on such
       calculations, Interstate Energy Corporation shall charge the members
       appropriate amounts at intervals consistent with the dates in that
       section.

   (e) If the Group has a consolidated net operating loss ("NOL") for a taxable
       year (the "loss year") and the NOL cannot be used in full by being
       carried back to a prior taxable year, the unused portion of the NOL
       shall be allocated to the members of the Group having separate company
       losses for the loss year in proportion to the relative magnitude of such
       separate company losses for the loss year.  Each such member shall carry
       the separate company loss from the loss year forward to the following
       taxable year and combine it with its allocation for such following
       taxable year.  Any unused portion of an NOL that is required to be
       carried forward will be included in a Cash Call in the year that the
       unused portion of the NOL is utilized in the consolidated tax return.

   (f) A member shall make any payment required by this section within 10 days
       after receiving a Cash Call from Interstate Energy Corporation. To
       facilitate the Cash Call process, Heartland Properties, Inc. shall
       receive cash from or make a payment to Interstate Energy Corporation on
       behalf of itself and all members of the Group that are directly or
       indirectly owned by Heartland Properties, Inc.  Such members shall
       receive cash from or make payment to Heartland Properties, Inc. within a
       reasonable time thereafter.

   SECTION 5   Adjustments to Tax Liability Shown on Returns
               ---------------------------------------------

   (a) In the event that the consolidated tax or consolidated refund is
       subsequently adjusted by an amended income tax return, the Internal
       Revenue Service, or a court decision, the consolidated tax, consolidated
       refund and separate company taxable income shall be adjusted accordingly,
       consistent with the methodology set forth previously in this Agreement.
       Any prior payments among the members of the Group shall be adjusted to
       conform to the change.

   (b) If any interest is paid or received as a result of an adjustment to the
       consolidated tax or consolidated refund, it will be allocated to the
       parties in the proportion that each member=s change in separate company
       taxable income in each affected year bears to the change in consolidated
       taxable income.

   (c) Any penalty shall be paid by the member of the Group that is responsible
       for the penalty.  If the party at fault cannot be determined, the
       penalty shall be allocated in the same manner as if it were additional
       tax.

   SECTION 6   State Income Taxes
               ------------------

   (a) Any state income tax liability (including liability for interest or
       penalties) associated with the filing of a separate state income tax
       return by a member of the Group shall be allocated to and paid directly
       by such member.

   (b) Any state income tax liability (including liability for interest or
       penalties) associated with the filing of a unitary, consolidated or
       combined state return shall be allocated to the members of the Group
       participating in the return following the procedures set forth above
       for federal income tax liabilities.

   SECTION 7   New Affiliates
               --------------

   The members of the Group will cause any corporation which becomes an
   affiliated corporation within the meaning of section 1504 of the Internal
   Revenue Code to join in this Agreement.

   SECTION 8   Amendment
               ---------

   This Agreement may be amended from time to time as the result of changes in
   federal or state law or relevant facts and circumstances.

   SECTION 9   Cooperation of Members
               ----------------------

   Each member shall execute and file any consent, election or other document
   that may be required or appropriate for the proper filing of consolidated
   income tax returns and for the allocations provided by this Agreement.

   SECTION 10   Effective date
                --------------

   This Agreement is effective for the allocation of the current income tax
   liability of the Group for the tax year ending 12/31/98 and all subsequent
   years until amended in writing.

   SECTION 11   Governing law
                -------------

   The laws of the state of Wisconsin shall govern this Agreement.


   SECTION 12   Relationship to Other Agreements
                --------------------------------

   This Agreement supercedes any and all prior Agreements to which any of the
   members of the Group may have been a party.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                    ----------------------------------------

To the Shareowners of Interstate Energy Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of
capitalization of Interstate Energy Corporation (a Wisconsin Corporation) and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of income, cash flows and changes in common equity for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Interstate Energy Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31,1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   Report below the original cost of electric plant in service according to
     the prescribed accounts.

2.   In addition to Account 101, Electric Plant in Service (Classified), this
     page and the next include Account 102, Electric Plant Purchased or Sold;
     Account 103, Experimental Electric Plant Unclassified; and Account 106,
     Completed Construction Not Classified-Electric.

3.   Include in column (c) or (d), as appropriate, corrections of additions and
     retirements for the current or preceding year.

4.   Enclose in parentheses credit adjustments of plant accounts to indicate the
     negative effect of such accounts.

5.   Classify Account 106 according to prescribed accounts, on an estimated
     basis if necessary, and include the entries in column (c). Also to be
     included in column (c) are entries for reversals of tentative distributions
     of prior year reported in column (b). Likewise, if the respondent has a
     significant amount of plant retirements which have not been classified to
     primary accounts at the end of the year, include in column (d) a tentative
     distribution of such retirements, on an estimated basis, with appropriate
     contra entry to the account for accummulated depreciation provision.
     Include also in column (d) reversals of tentative distributions of prior
     year of unclassified retirements. Attach supplemental statement showing the
     account distributions of these tentative classifications in columns (c) and
     (d), including the

     reversals of the prior years tentative account distributions of these
     amounts. Careful observance of the above instructions and the texts of
     Accounts 101 and 106 will avoid serious omissions of the reported amount of
     respondent's plant actually in service at end of year.

6.   Show in column (f) reclassifications or transfers within utility plant
     accounts. Include also in column (f) the additions or reductions of primary
     account classifications arising from distribution of amounts initially
     recorded in Account 102. In showing the clearance of Account 102, include
     in column (e) the amounts with respect to accumulated provision for
     depreciation, acquisition adjustments, etc., and show in column (f) only
     the offset to the debits or credits distributed in column (f) to primary
     account classifications.

7.   For Account 399, state the nature and use of plant included in this account
     and if substantial in amount submit a supplementary statement showing
     subaccount classification of such plant conforming to the requirements of
     these pages.

8.   For each amount comprising the reported balance and changes in Account 102,
     state the property purchased or sold, name of vendor or purchaser, and date
     of transaction. If proposed journal entries have been filed with the
     Commission as required by the Uniform System of Accounts, give also date of
     such filing.

 ACCUMULATED PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITY PLANT (Account 108)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Explain in a footnote any important adjustments during year.

2.   Explain in a footnote any difference between the amount for book cost of
     plant retired, line 11, column (c), and that reported for electric plant in
     service, pages 204-207, column (d) excluding retirements of non-depreciable
     property.

3.   The provisions of Account 108 in the Uniform System of Accounts require
     that retirements of depreciable plant be recorded when such plant is
     removed from service. If the respondent has a significant amount of plant
     retired at year end which has not been recorded and/or classified to the
     various reserve functional classifications, make preliminary closing
     entries to tentatively functionalize the book cost of the plant retired. In
     addition, include all costs included in retirement work in progress at year
     end in the appropriate functional classifications.

4.   Show separately interest credits under a sinking fund or similar method of
     depreciation accounting.

     reversals of the prior years tentative account distributions of these
     amounts. Careful observance of the above instructions and the texts of
     Accounts 101 and 106 will avoid serious omissions of the reported amount of
     respondent's plant actually in service at end of year.

6.   Show in column (f) reclassifications or transfers within utility plant
     accounts. Include also in column (f) the additions or reductions of primary
     account classifications arising from distribution of amounts initially
     recorded in Account 102. In showing the clearance of Account 102, include
     in column (e) the amounts with respect to accumulated provision for
     depreciation, acquisition adjustments, etc., and show in column (f) only
     the offset to the debits or credits distributed in column (f) to primary
     account classifica- tions.

7.   For Account 399, state the nature and use of plant included in this account
     and if substantial in amount submit a supplementary statement showing
     subaccount classification of such plant conforming to the require- ments of
     these pages.

8.   For each amount comprising the reported balance and changes in Account 102,
     state the property purchased or sold, name of vendor or purchaser, and date
     of transaction. If proposed journal entries have been filed with the
     Commission as required by the Uniform System of Accounts, give also date of
     such filing.

 ACCUMULATED PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITY PLANT (Account 108)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Explain in a footnote any important adjustments during year.

2.   Explain in a footnote any difference between the amount for book cost of
     plant retired, line 11, column (c), and that reported for electric plant in
     service, pages 204-207, column (d), excluding retirements of
     non-depreciable property.

3.   The provisions of Account 108 in the Uniform System of Accounts require
     that retirements of depreciable plant be recorded when such plant is
     removed from service. If the respondent has a significant amount of plant
     retired at year end which has not been recorded and/or classified to the
     various reserve functional classifications, make preliminary closing
     entries to tentatively functionalize the book cost of the plant retired. In
     addition, include all costs included in retirement work in progress at year
     end in the appropriate functional classifications. 4. Show separately
     interest credits under a sinking fund or similar method of depreciation
     accounting.

     years tentative account distributions of these amounts. Careful observance
     of the above instructions and the texts of Accounts 101 and 106 will avoid
     serious omissions of the reported amount of respondent's plant actually in
     service at end of year.

     accounts. Include also in column (f) the additions or reductions of primary
     account classifications arising from distribution of amounts initially
     recorded in Account 102. In showing the clearance of Account 102, include
     in column (e) the amounts with respect to accumulated provision for
     depreciation, acquisition adjustments, etc., and show in column (f) only
     the offset to the debits or credits distributed in column (f) to primary
     account classifications.

7.   For Account 399, state the nature and use of plant included in this account
     and if substantial in amount, submit a supplementary statement showing
     subaccount classification of such plant conforming to the requirements of
     these pages.

8.   For each amount comprising the reported balance and changes in Account 102,
     state the property purchased or sold, name of vendor or purchaser, and date
     of transaction. If proposed journal entries have been filed with the
     Commission as required by the Uniform System of Accounts, give also date of
     such filing.

     years tentative account distributions of these amounts. Careful observance
     of the above instructions and the texts of Accounts 101 and 106 will avoid
     serious omissions of the reported amount of respondent's plant actually in
     service at end of year.

6.   Show in column (f) reclassifications or transfers within utility plant
     accounts. Include also in column (f) the additions or reductions of primary
     account classifications arising from distribution of amounts initially
     recorded in Account 102. In showing the clearance of Account 102, include
     in column (e) the amounts with respect to accumulated provision for
     depreciation, acquisition adjustments, etc., and show in column (f) only
     the offset to the debits or credits distributed in column (f) to primary
     account classifications.

7.   For Account 399, state the nature and use of plant included in this account
     and if substantial in amount, submit a supplementary statement showing
     subaccount classification of such plant conforming to the requirements of
     these pages.

8.   For each amount comprising the reported balance and changes in Account 102,
     state the property purchased or sold, name of vendor or purchaser, and date
     of transaction. If proposed journal entries have been filed with the
     Commission as required by the Uniform System of Accounts, give also date of
     such filing.

    ACCUMULATED PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION OF GAS UTILITY PLANT (Account 108)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   Explain in a footnote any important adjustments during year.

2.   Explain in a footnote any differences between the amount for book costs of
     plant retired, line 11, column (s), and that reported for gas plant in
     service, pages 204-209, column (d), excluding retirements of
     non-depreciable property.

3.   The provisions of Account 108 in the Uniform System of Accounts require
     that retirements of depreciable plant be recorded when such plant is
     removed form service. If the respondent has a significant amount of plant
     retired at year end which has not been recorded and/or classified to the
     various reserve functional classifications, make preliminary closing
     entries to tentatively functionalism the book cost of the plant retired. In
     addition, include all costs included in retirement work in progress at year
     end in the appropriate functional classifications.

4.   Show separately interest credits under a sinking fund or similar method of
     depreciation accounting.

reversals of the prior years tentative account distributions of these amounts.
Careful observance of the above instructions and the texts of Accounts 101 and
106 will avoid serious omissions of the reported amount of respondent's plant
actually in service at end of year.

6.   Show in column (f) reclassifications or transfers within utility plant
     accounts. Include also in column (f) the additions or reductions of primary
     account classifications arising from distribution of amounts initially
     recorded in Account 102. In showing the clearance of Account 102, include
     in column (e) the amounts with respect to accumulated provision for
     depreciation, acquisition adjustments, etc., and show in column (f) only
     the offset to the debits or credits distributed in column (f) to primary
     account classifications.

7.   For Account 399, state the nature and use of plant included in this account
     and if substantial in amount submit a supplementary statement showing
     subaccount classification of such plant conforming to the requirements of
     these pages.

8.   For each amount comprising the reported balance and changes in Account 102,
     state the property purchased or sold, name of vendor or purchaser, and date
     of transaction. If proposed journal entries have been filed with the
     Commission as required by the Uniform System of Accounts, give also date of
     such filing.

 ACCUMULATED PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITY PLANT (Account 108)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Explain in a footnote any important adjustments during year.

2.   Explain in a footnote any difference between the amount for book cost of
     plant retired, line 11, column (c), and that reported for electric plant in
     service, pages 204-207, column (d) excluding retirements of non-depreciable
     property.

3.   The provisions of Account 108 in the Uniform System of Accounts require
     that retirements of depreciable plant be recorded when such plant is
     removed from service. If the respondent has a significant amount of plant
     retired at year end which has not been recorded and/or classified to the
     various reserve functional classifications, make preliminary closing
     entries to tentatively functionalize the book cost of the plant retired. In
     addition, include all costs included in retirement work in progress at year
     end in the appropriate functional classifications.

4.   Show separately interest credits under a sinking fund or similar method of
     depreciation accounting.

             GAS PLANT IN SERVICE (Accounts 101, 102, 103, and 106)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     tentative classifications in columns (c) and (d), including the reversals
     of the prior years tentative account distributions of these amounts.
     Careful observance of the above instructions and the texts of Accounts 101
     and 106 will avoid serious omissions of the reported amount of respondent's
     plant actually in service at end of year.

6.   Show in column (f) reclassifcations or transfers within utility plant
     accounts. Include also in column (f) the additions or reductions of primary
     account classifications arising from distribution of amounts initially
     recorded in Account 102. In showing the clearance of Account 102, include
     in column (e) the amounts with respect to accumulated provision for
     depreciation, acquisition adjustments, etc., and show in column (f) only
     the offset to the debits or credits distributed in column (f) to primary
     account classifications.

7.   For Account 399, state the nature and use of plant included in this account
     and if substantial in amount submit a supplementary statement showing
     subaccount classification of such plant conforming to the requirements of
     these pages.

8.   For each amount comprising the reported balance and changes in Account 102,
     state the property purchased or sold, name of vendor or purchaser, and date
     of transaction. If proposed journal entries have been filed with the
     Commission as required by the Uniform System of Accounts, give also date of
     such filing.

     and the next include Account 102, Gas Plant Purchased or Sold; Account 103,
     Experimental Gas Plant Unclassified; and Account 106, Completed
     Construction Not Classified-Gas.

3.   Include in column (c) or (d), as appropriate, corrections of additions and
     retirements for the current or preceding year.

4.   Enclose in parentheses credit adjustments of plant accounts to indicate the
     negative effect of such accounts.

5.   Classify Account 106 according to prescribed accounts, on an estimated
     basis if necessary, and include the entries in column (c). Also to be
     included in column (c) are entries for reversals of tentative distributions
     of prior year reported in column (b). Likewise, if the respondent has a
     significant amount of plant retirements which have not been classified to
     primary accounts at the end of the year, include in column (d) a tentative
     distribution of such retirements, on an estimated basis, with appropriate
     contra entry to the account for accumulated depreciation provision. Include
     also in column (d) reversals of tentative distributions or prior year of
     unclassified retirements. Attach supplemental statement showing the account
     distributions of these

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     tentative classifications in columns (c) and (d), including the reversals
     of the prior years tentative account distributions of these amounts.
     Careful observance of the above instructions and the texts of Accounts 101
     and 106 will avoid serious omissions of the reported amount of respondent's
     plant actually in service at end of year.

6.   Show in column (f) reclassifcations or transfers within utility plant
     accounts. Include also in column (f) the additions or reductions of primary
     account classifications arising from distribution of amounts initially
     recorded in Account 102. In showing the clearance of Account 102, include
     in column (e) the amounts with respect to accumulated provision for
     depreciation, acquisition adjustments, etc., and show in column (f) only
     the offset to the debits or credits distributed in column (f) to primary
     account classifications.

7.   For Account 399, state the nature and use of plant included in this account
     and if substantial in amount submit a supplementary statement showing
     subaccount classification of such plant conforming to the requirements of
     these pages.

8.   For each amount comprising the reported balance and changes in Account 102,
     state the property purchased or sold, name of vendor or purchaser, and date
     of transaction. If proposed journal entries have been filed with the
     Commission as required by the Uniform System of Accounts, give also date of
     such filing.
