                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------


1.      GENERAL

        Indianapolis   Power  &  Light   Company  is  a  subsidiary   of  IPALCO
        Enterprises,  Inc. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted  accounting  principles requires that management
        make certain  estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
        of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and
        liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial  statements.  The  reported
        amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may also be
        affected by the  estimates  and  assumptions  management  is required to
        make. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

        In the opinion of management these  statements  reflect all adjustments,
        consisting  of only normal  recurring  accruals,  which are necessary to
        present a fair statement of the results for the interim  periods covered
        by such  statements.  Due to the seasonal nature of the electric utility
        business,  the annual results are not generated evenly by quarter during
        the year. Certain amounts from prior year financial statements have been
        reclassified  to  conform  to  the  current  year  presentation.   These
        financial  statements and notes should be read in  conjunction  with the
        audited  financial  statements  included in IPL's 1999 Annual  Report on
        Form 10-K.


2.     SEGMENT REPORTING

        Operating  segments are  components of an enterprise  for which separate
        financial  information  is available  and is evaluated  regularly by the
        chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and
        in  assessing  performance.   IPL's  reportable  business  segments  are
        electric and "all other." Steam operations of IPL are in the "all other"
        category.  The  accounting  policies  of  the  identified  segments  are
        consistent  with those policies and procedures  described in the summary
        of significant  accounting policies (see Note 1). Intersegment sales are
        generally  based on prices that reflect the current  market  conditions.
        The following tables provide information about IPL's business segments:

        Property - net of  Depreciation  is $1.745 billion and $1.750 billion in
        total  for  the  periods   ending  March,   2000  and  December,   1999,
        respectively.  Within  Property  - net  of  Depreciation,  the  Electric
        segment  is  $1.669  billion  and  $1.674  billion  for 2000  and  1999,
        respectively.  The All  Other  segment  is $76  million  for each of the
        periods ending March, 2000 and December, 1999.


3.      NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

        Statement  of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  133  (SFAS  133),
        "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,"  was
        issued in June 1998 and was to be effective  for all fiscal  quarters of
        all fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999. The effective date for
        this  standard  was  delayed one year by SFAS 137.  The  standard is now
        effective for all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal years  beginning  after
        June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 establishes  accounting and reporting  standards
        for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  It requires that
        an entity  recognize all  derivatives as either assets or liabilities in
        the statement of financial  condition and measures those  instruments at
        fair  value.  If  certain  conditions  are  met,  a  derivative  may  be
        specifically  designated as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge,  or a
        hedge of a foreign currency exposure.  The accounting for changes in the
        fair value of a derivative  (that is,  gains and losses)  depends on the
        intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Management
        has not yet  quantified  the effect of the new standard on the financial
        statements.

4.     SALE OF STEAM

       During  March,  2000,  IPL announced an agreement for the sale of certain
       assets (the "Assets") to Citizens Gas & Coke Utility.  The Assets include
       the Perry K Steam Plant and downtown  steam  distribution  system (Steam)
       operated  by IPL.  The 1999  EBITDA  (earnings  before  interest,  taxes,
       depreciation  and  amortization)  and net income of this  entity was $8.1
       million and $1.8  million,  respectively.  The sale is subject to certain
       government approvals and the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent
       in the agreement and is expected to be completed during 2000.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

       IPL hereby files cautionary statements identifying important factors that
could cause IPL's actual results to differ  materially  from those  projected in
forward-looking statements of IPL. This Form 10-Q, and particularly Management's
Discussion and Analysis,  contains forward-looking  statements.  Forward-looking
statements  express an expectation  or belief and contain a projection,  plan or
assumption with regard to, among other things, future revenues, income, earnings
per share or capital structure.  Such statements of future events or performance
are not guarantees of future performance and involve estimates,  assumptions and
uncertainties.   The  words  "anticipate,"   "believe,"   "estimate,"  "expect,"
"forecast,"  "project,"  "objective,"  and similar  expressions  are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.

       Some important  factors that could cause IPL's actual results or outcomes
to differ  materially  from those  discussed in the  forward-looking  statements
include,  but are not limited to,  fluctuations  in customer  growth and demand,
weather,  fuel costs,  generating unit  availability,  purchased power costs and
availability,  regulatory  action,  environmental  matters,  federal  and  state
legislation, interest rates, labor strikes, maintenance and capital expenditures
and local economic conditions.  In addition,  IPL's ability to have available an
appropriate  amount of production  capacity in a timely manner can significantly
affect IPL's financial performance.  The timing of deregulation and competition,
product development and technology changes are also important potential factors.

         All such factors are difficult to predict,  contain  uncertainties that
may materially affect actual results and are beyond the control of IPL.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview
- --------

       The  Board of  Directors  of  Indianapolis  Power & Light  Company  (IPL)
declared  dividends on common stock of $23.9 million during the first quarter of
2000. Dividends are paid by IPL to IPALCO Enterprises, Inc.

       IPL's  capital   requirements  are  primarily   related  to  construction
expenditures  needed to meet customers'  needs for  electricity  and steam,  for
environmental compliance and for the implementation of an integrated information
system.  Construction  expenditures  (excluding  allowance for funds used during
construction)  totaled  $20.2  million  during the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
representing  a $4.9  million  increase  from  the  comparable  period  in 1999.
Internally generated cash provided by IPL's operations was used for construction
expenditures during the first quarter of 2000.

     IPL's construction program for the three-year period 2000-2002 is estimated
to cost $294.0  million  including  AFUDC.  The estimated cost of the program by
year (in  millions)  is  $106.5 in 2000,  $103.9  in 2001 and $83.6 in 2002.  It
includes   $152.2  million  for  additions,   improvements   and  extensions  to
transmission  and  distribution  lines,  substations,  power  factor and voltage
regulating equipment,  distribution transformers and street lighting facilities.
The  construction  program also includes $4.3 million of the remaining costs for
construction of a 100-megawatt  combustion  turbine expected to be in service by
June 2000.  These  projected  amounts also include $20.7 million of costs during
the period  associated with new environmental  standards  promulgated by the EPA
which are currently under appeal in the United States Court of Appeals (see "NOx
SIP Call" below).


OTHER

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
- -----------------------------------------------

         The primary  market risk to which IPL is exposed is interest rate risk.
IPL uses  long-term  debt as a primary  source of  capital  in its  business.  A
portion of this debt has an interest  component  that resets on a periodic basis
to reflect current market conditions. The following table presents the principal
cash repayments and related weighted average interest rates by maturity date for
IPL's  long-term  fixed-rate debt and its other types of long-term debt at March
31, 2000:

</TABLE>

       To manage IPL's exposure to  fluctuations  in interest rates and to lower
funding costs,  IPL has entered into an interest rate swap. Under this swap, IPL
agrees with counterparties to exchange,  at specified intervals,  the difference
between  fixed-rate and floating-rate  interest amounts  calculated on an agreed
notional amount.  This interest  differential  paid or received is recognized in
the consolidated statements of income as a component of interest expense.

       At March  31,  2000,  IPL had an  interest  rate  swap  agreement  with a
notional amount of $40 million, which expires in January 2023. IPL agrees to pay
interest at a fixed rate of 5.21% to a swap counter party and receive a variable
rate based on the tax-exempt weekly rate. The fair value of IPL's swap agreement
was $(0.8) million at March 31, 2000.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards
- --------------------------------------

       On July 16, 1997, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
promulgated  final rules tightening the National  Ambient Air Quality  Standards
for ozone and creating new fine  particulate  matter  standards.  On October 29,
1999,  after conducting a rehearing of its initial decision of May 14, 1999, the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia  Circuit  determined
that  the new  ozone  standards  were not  issued  lawfully,  but left  open the
question of future remedy. The Court also determined that the standards for fine
particulate  matter  were  legally  deficient  in  certain  respects.   EPA  has
petitioned the Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeals' decision.

NOx SIP Call
- ------------

         On October 27, 1998, EPA issued a final rule calling for Indiana, along
with 22 other jurisdictions in the eastern third of the United States, to impose
more  stringent  limits on nitrogen  oxides (NOx) from  fossil-fuel  fired steam
electric generators, such as those operated by IPL. This rule (the NOx SIP Call)
was based in part on the new ozone  standards  that were later held  unlawful in
the Court of Appeals'  decision  discussed above. In a separate  decision on May
25, 1999, the Court of Appeals  stayed the  compliance  deadlines in the NOx SIP
Call. On March 3, 2000, the Court of Appeals issued a decision largely upholding
the NOx SIP  Call.  Litigants  challenging  the NOx  SIP  Call,  including  IPL,
currently seek rehearing in the Court of Appeals.

     Because  power plants emit  nitrogen  oxides,  as well as fine  particulate
matter,  existing IPL sources may be required to be retrofitted  with additional
air pollution controls in the future,  either as a result of the EPA regulations
discussed above or future regulatory actions.

       EPA's NOx SIP Call would require operators of coal-fired electric utility
boilers in the affected states to limit NOx emissions to 0.15 pounds per million
BTUs of heat input as a system-wide average. That limit calls for a reduction of
about 85% from 1990 average emissions from coal-fired  electric utility boilers,
and a reduction of about 57% from IPL's current emissions.

       It is not possible to predict  whether EPA's NOx SIP Call will ultimately
survive judicial review.  Nor is it possible at this time to predict  accurately
the costs of compliance.  IPL's preliminary  estimates are that the NOx SIP Call
would necessitate capital expenditures of about $160 million.

       As to timing,  if the requirements of the NOx SIP Call became  effective,
they  would  likely  do so  during  the  2000-2001  period  and  would  probably
necessitate deployment of capital during the period between 2002 and 2005. There
can be no certainty about these estimates.

       IPL expects to refine the above estimates as engineering studies progress
and when, as, and if such rules become effective.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Comparison of Quarters Ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999
         --------------------------------------------------------------

       Income applicable to common stock for the first quarter of 2000 was $37.4
million,  a $4.4 million  increase from the first quarter of 1999. The following
discussion highlights the factors contributing to this result.

Operating Revenues
- ------------------

         Operating  revenues  increased  $10.3 million  during the first quarter
ended March 2000  compared to the similar  period last year.  These results were
due to the following:

                                                        Increase (Decrease)
                                                       from Comparable Period
                                                     Three Months Ended March 31
                                                     ---------------------------
                                                        (Millions of Dollars)

   Electric:
        Change in retail KWH sales - net of fuel                 $    5.8
        Fuel revenue                                                  0.2

                                                                ---------
        Total change in operating revenues                         $ 10.3
                                                                =========


         The first quarter  increase in retail KWH sales compared to the similar
period  in 1999  resulted  from  economic  growth in  Indianapolis  and a higher
realization  per  kilowatt-hour  sold. The changes in fuel revenues in 2000 from
the prior  year  reflect  changes  in total  fuel  costs  billed  to  customers.
Wholesale  revenue  increased  during the first quarter of 2000 due to favorable
wholesale market conditions and generating unit availability.

Operating Expenses
- ------------------

         Fuel  costs  increased  by $1.7  million  in the first  quarter of 2000
compared to the same period last year. The first quarter  increase was primarily
due to increased kilowatt-hour sales.

         Other operating expenses increased $5.1 million in the first quarter of
2000  compared  to the same  period in 1999.  The  first  quarter  increase  was
primarily due to decreased sales of emission  allowances of $3.0 million,  which
increased operating  expenses.  Also contributing to the variance were increased
distribution expenses and customer service and informational expenses.

         Maintenance  expense decreased $5.7 million during the first quarter of
2000  compared  to the same period  last year.  The  decrease in expense was due
primarily to reduced  costs  associated  with the  overhaul of plant  generating
units.

         Income  taxes-net  increased  $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared  to the same  period in 1999 due to an  increase  in  pretax  operating
income.

         As a result of the foregoing,  utility  operating  income  increased
11.4% during  the first  quarter of 2000 from the  comparable  1999  period,  to
$48.2 million.

Other Income and Deductions
- ---------------------------

       Other-net  decreased $1 million during the first quarter of 2000 compared
to the same period last year.  This  decrease  was  primarily  due to  decreased
miscellaneous non-operating revenues.

New Accounting Pronouncement
- ----------------------------

       The  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  has  issued  Statement  of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging  Activities," that IPL will be required to adopt in 2001 (see Note 3
in the Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion).

either party or because of scheduled maintenance that has been agreed to by
both parties, the parties shall cooperate so as to remove the cause of such
interruption as soon as practicable and restore such line to normal
operating condition.  Neither party shall be responsible to the other party
for any damage or loss of revenue caused by any such interruption.


                             ARTICLE 3

                      SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

     3.01  It is the purpose in general of the parties to seek and realize
all benefits practicable to be effected through coordination in the
operation and development of their respective systems. It is understood by
the parties that such benefits may be realized by them by carrying out under
stated terms and conditions various interconnection services and
transactions that may include among others:

          the sale and purchase of firm power and associated energy,

          the furnishing of mutual emergency and standby assistance,

          the interchange, sale, and purchase of energy to effect
     operating economies,

          the coordination of maintenance schedules of generating and
     transmission facilities,

          the transfer of electric energy through the transmission system
     of one party for the benefit of the other, and

          the sale and purchase of short-term electric power and energy
     available on the system of one party and needed on the system of the
     other.

In furtherance of such purpose the parties shall appoint an Operating
Committee as provided under Article 8.

     3.02  Inasmuch as the specific services to be rendered in furtherance
of such purpose will vary from time to time during the duration of this
agreement, and the terms and conditions applicable to such services may
require modification from time to time, it is intended that such specific
services and the terms and conditions applicable thereto will be set forth
in service schedules from time to time arranged between the parties.  Such
service schedules upon agreement of the parties, initially by Section 3.03
below or subsequently by separate execution, shall become parts of this
agreement during the periods fixed by their respective duration.

     3.03  The following service schedules are agreed to initially and
hereby made a part of this agreement:

                             ARTICLE 4

                        SERVICE CONDITIONS

Control of System Disturbance

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

Control of Kilovar Exchange

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

Control of Unscheduled Power Deliveries

     4.03  The parties shall exercise due diligence and foresight in
carrying out all matters related to the providing and operating of their
respective electric power resources so as to minimize to the extent
practicable deviations between actual and scheduled deliveries of electric
power and energy between their systems.  The parties shall provide and
install on their respective systems such communication and telemetering
facilities as are essential to so minimizing such deviations; and, in
developing and executing operating procedures that will enable the parties
to avoid to the extent practicable deviations from scheduled deliveries,
shall fully cooperate with each other and with third parties whose systems
are either directly or indirectly interconnected with the systems of the
parties and who of necessity together with the parties must unify their
efforts cooperatively to achieve effective and efficient interconnected
operation.  The parties recognize, however, that, despite their best efforts
to prevent the same, unscheduled deliveries of electric energy from one
party to the other may occur.  Electric energy delivered hereunder in such
event shall be settled for either by the return of equivalent energy or by
payment of the out-of-pocket cost--such cost being as of the delivery point
or points, as provided for in Section 5.01 of this agreement, taking into
account electrical losses incurred from the source or sources of such energy
to said delivery point or points--to the supplying party of generating or
acquiring such energy plus ten per cent of such cost.  If equivalent energy
is returned, it shall be returned at times when the load conditions of the
party receiving it are equivalent to the load conditions of such party at
the time the energy for which it is returned was delivered or, if such party
elects to have equivalent energy returned under different conditions, it
shall be returned in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the Operating
Committee, as will compensate for the difference in conditions.

                             ARTICLE 5

          DELIVERY POINTS, METERING POINTS, AND METERING

Delivery Points

     5.01  All electric energy delivered under this agreement shall be of
the character commonly known as three-phase sixty-cycle energy, and shall be
delivered at the Interconnection Point, as defined under Section 1.03 above,
at a nominal voltage of 345,000 volts and at such other points and voltages
as may be agreed upon by the parties.

Metering Points

     5.02  Electric power and energy supplied and delivered under this
agreement shall be measured by suitable metering equipment provided, owned,
and maintained by Indianapolis Company at the metering point at hereinbelow
set forth; and at such other points, voltages, and ownership as may be
agreed upon by the parties; viz.:

          5.021  In respect of the Interconnection Point by 138,000-volt
     metering equipment installed at Hanna Substation.

Metering

     5.03  Suitable metering equipment at the metering points as provided
in Section 5.02 above shall include electric meters, potential and current
transformers, and such other appurtenances as shall be necessary to give for
each direction of flow the following quantities:  (1)  a continuous
automatic graphic record of both kilowatts and kilovars, (2) an automatic
record of the kilowatt-hours for each clock hour, and (3) a continuous
integrating record of the kilowatt-hours.

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

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

     5.06  If at any test of metering equipment an inaccuracy shall be
disclosed exceeding two percent, the account between the parties for service
theretofore delivered shall be adjusted to correct for the inaccuracy
disclosed over the shorter of the following two periods: (1) for the
thirty-day period immediately preceding the day of the test or (2) for the
period that such inaccuracy may be determined to have existed. Should the
metering equipment as provided for under Section 5.03 above at any time fail
to register, the electric power and energy delivered shall be determined
from the check meters, if installed, or otherwise shall be determined from
the best available data.


                             ARTICLE 6

                      RECORDS AND STATEMENTS

Records

     6.01  In addition to records of the metering provided for in Article 5
above, the parties shall keep in duplicate such other records as may be
needed to afford a clear history of the various deliveries of electric
energy made by one party to the other and of the clock-hour integrated
demands in kilowatt-hours delivered by one party to the other.  In
maintaining such records, the parties shall effect such segregations and
allocations of demands and electric energy delivered into classes
representing the various services and conditions as may be needed in
connection with settlements under this agreement.  The originals of all such
records shall be retained by the party keeping the records and the
duplicates shall be delivered monthly to the other party except as the
parties may agree upon a different time interval for such delivery.

Statements

     6.02  As promptly as practicable after the end of each calendar month,
the parties shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the
electric power and energy transactions between the parties during such month
in such detail and with such segregations as may be needed for operating
records or for settlements under the provisions of this agreement.


                             ARTICLE 7

                       BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS

     7.01  All bills for amounts owed by one party to the other shall be
due and payable on the fifteenth day of the month next following the monthly
or other period to which such bills are applicable, or on the tenth day
following receipt of bill, whichever date be later. Interest on unpaid
amounts shall accrue at the rate of six per cent per annum from the date due
until the date upon which payment is made.  Unless otherwise agreed upon a
calendar month shall be the standard monthly period for the purposes of
settlements under this agreement.

                             ARTICLE 8

extent, the parties shall establish a committee of authorized
representatives to be known as the Operating Committee. Each of the parties
shall designate in writing delivered to the other party, the person who is
to act as its representative on said committee (and the person or persons
who may serve as alternate whenever such representative is unable to act).
Such representative and alternate or alternates shall each be persons
familiar with the generating, transmission, and substation facilities of the
system of the party by which he has been so designated, and each shall be
fully authorized (1) to cooperate with the other representative (or
alternates) and (2) from time to time as the need arises, subject to the
declared intentions of the parties herein set forth and to the terms hereof
and the terms of any other agreements then in effect between the parties, to

question of operating practice involved in the deliveries of power and
energy herein provided for, (3) any question of fact involved in the
application of the provisions of this agreement, or (4) the interpretation
of any provision of this agreement, the matter involved in the disagreement
shall, upon demand of either party, be submitted to arbitration in the
manner hereinafter provided.  An offer of such submission to arbitration
shall be a condition precedent to any right to institute proceedings at law
or in equity concerning such matter.

     11.02  The party calling for arbitration shall serve notice in writing
upon the other party, setting forth in detail the subject or subjects to be
arbitrated, and the parties thereupon shall endeavor to agree upon and
appoint one person to act as sole arbitrator.  If the parties fail so to
agree within a period of fifteen days from the receipt of the original
notice, the party calling for the arbitration shall, by written notice to
the other party, call for appointment of a board of arbitrators skilled with
respect to matters of the character involved in the disagreement, naming one
arbitrator in such notice.  The other party shall, within ten days after the
receipt of such call, appoint a second arbitrator, and the two so appointed
shall choose and appoint a third.  In case such other party fails to appoint
an arbitrator within said ten days, or in case the two so appointed fail for
ten days to agreed upon and appoint a third, the party calling for the
arbitration, upon five days' written notice delivered to the other party,

SECTION 5 - ADDITIONAL CHARGES AND CREDITS

     5.1  The following terms, wherever used in this
Service Schedule,
shall have the following meanings:

     5.11  Principal Stations - The steam-electric generating stations of
               Indiana Company known as Breed, Tanners Creek, and Twin
               Branch and any new principal steam-electric generating
               stations (exclusive of nuclear power stations) that may be
               placed in service by Indiana Company.

     5.12  Account No. 501.  Fuel - The production expense account of the
               Uniform System of Accounts prescribed for Public Utilities

     5.13  Weighted average Fuel Cost - The total of all the components of
               cost at all the Principal Stations chargeable to Account
               No. 501 Fuel during a specified period divided by the
               total millions of Btu in fuel charged to said account at
               all the Principal Stations during such period, expressed
               in cents per million Btu.

     5.14  Weighted average Fuel Consumption - The total Btu in fuel
               charged to Account No. 501 Fuel, at the Principal Stations
               during a specified period divided by the total kilowatt-hour
               net generation at all the Principal Stations during such
               period, expressed in Btu per kilowatthour.

     5.15  Accounts other than Fuel - All of the operating production
               expense accounts for Electric Generation-Steam Power of said
               Uniform System of Accounts other than Account No. 501 Fuel
               as prevailing during January 1961.

     5.16  Capability of Breed Station - The aggregate kilowatt-hours of
               net generation during a clock-hour period that the Breed
               Station is capable of generating at the time of the annual
               peak load of the Indiana Company system with all equipment
               operating at such station.

     5.17  Weighted average cost other than Fuel at Breed Station - The
               total of all the components of cost chargeable to the accounts
               other than Fuel specified in subsection 5.15 above at the

               product of (1) the Capability of the Breed Station during
               such period and (2) the number of months during such
               period, expressed in cents per kilowatt-month.

     5.2  The charges provided for in Section 4 of this Service Schedule
are based upon a weighted average fuel cost of twenty and one-half cents
($0.205) per million Btu at the Principal Stations.  In the event such
weighted average fuel cost for any month is above twenty and one-half cents
($0.205) per million Btu by at least one mill, an additional charge during
the next succeeding month shall be made on the kilowatt-hours of Firm Energy
actually delivered during such succeeding month at a rate of 0.0105 mills
per kilowatt-hour for each full mill increase in such weighted average fuel
cost above twenty and one-half cents ($0.205) per million Btu. In the event
such weighted average fuel cost for any month is less than twenty and
one-half cents ($0.205) per million Btu by at least one mill, the bill
rendered to Indianapolis Company for the next succeeding month shall be
decreased by an amount equal to the kilowatt-hours of Firm Energy actually
delivered during such succeeding month at a rate of 0.0105 mills per
kilowatt-hour for each full mill decrease in such weighted average fuel cost
below twenty and one-half cents ($0.205) per million Btu. The said
adjustment factor of 0.0105 mills shall be subject to adjustment as provided
for in subsection 5.3 of this Service Schedule.

     5.3  The said adjustment factor of 0.0105 mills is based upon a
weighted average fuel consumption of 10,500 Btu per kilowatthour of net
generation.  In the event that improvements in the thermal efficiency of the
presently existing Principal Stations or the addition of any new Principal
Station bring about a reduction in the weighted average fuel consumption for
a period of twelve (12) consecutive months of at least 200 Btu below 10,500
Btu per kilowatthour, the adjustment factor of 0.0105 mills for the next
succeeding month shall be decreased 0.00019 mills for each full 200 Btu that
the weighted average fuel consumption so becomes lower than 10,500 Btu per
kilowatthour.

     5.4  If the weighted average cost other than fuel at Breed Station for
a period of twelve consecutive elapsed months is above 16.7 cents per
kilowatt-month by at least 0.5 cent, for each full 0.5 cent that such cost
is above 16.7 cents, the next succeeding month Indianapolis Company shall
pay 0.625 cent per kilowatt of Firm Contract Demand.  If the weighted
average cost other than fuel at Breed Station for a period of twelve
consecutive elapsed months is below 16.7 cents per kilowatt-month by at
least 0.5 cent, for each full 0.5 cent that such cost is below 16.7 cents,
the bill rendered to Indianapolis Company for the next succeeding month
shall be decreased by 0.625 cent per kilowatt of Firm Contract Demand.

SECTION 6 - BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS

     6.1  Billings and payments for the purposes of effecting settlements
under this Service Schedule shall be made in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions of Article 7 of this agreement.

authority on the Firm Power and/or Firm Energy manufactured, generated,
produced, converted, sold, purchased, transmitted, interchanged, exchanged,
exported or imported by Indiana Company, in addition to or different from
the forms of such direct taxes now being levied and/or assessed against
Indiana Company, or any increase in the rate of such existing or future
direct taxes, which Indiana Company could demonstrate to be unduly
burdensome to it in the performance of the obligations herein provided, then
in such event, the parties shall endeavor to make such an agreement in
regard to sharing the burden created by such tax as appears to be equitable
and proper under the circumstances.


SECTION 8 - DEFERRAL OF EFFECTIVE DATE

     8.1  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Service
Schedule, in the event Indiana Company as of June 1, 1963, is unable to
provide 345,000-volt transmission line facilities suitable for connection to
Indianapolis Company's terminal facilities as Hanna Substation, as described

     2.1  Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, in
the event of a breakdown or other emergency in or on the system of either
party involving either sources of power or transmission facilities, or both,
impairing or jeopardizing the ability of the party suffering the emergency
to meet the loads of its system, the other party shall deliver to such party
electric energy in amounts up to and including 50,000 kilowatts which 50,000
kilowatts is hereby designated and herein called Emergency Capacity, and
shall also deliver any additional electric energy in excess of said amount
that it is requested to deliver; provided, however, that neither party shall
be obligated to deliver any part of such additional energy which, in its
sole judgment, it cannot deliver without interposing a hazard to or economic
burden upon its operations or without impairing or jeopardizing the other
load requirements of its system; and provided further, that neither party
shall be obligated to deliver electric energy in amounts up to and including
or in excess of said Emergency Capacity to the other for a period in excess
of forty-eight consecutive hours during any single emergency.

     2.2  The parties recognize that the delivery of electric energy up to
and including the Emergency Capacity as provided for in subsection 2.1 of
this Section 2 is subject to two  conditions which may preclude the delivery
of such energy as so provided:  (a) the system of a party may be suffering
an emergency in or on its own system as described in said subsection 2.1, or
(b) the system of a party may be delivering electric energy, under a mutual
emergency interchange agreement, to the system of another interconnected
company which is suffering an emergency in or on its system. Under
conditions as cited under (a) above, neither party shall be considered to be
in default hereunder if unable to comply with the provisions of said
subsection 2.1.  Under conditions as cited under (b) above, neither party
shall be considered to be in default hereunder if it is unable to comply
with the provisions of said subsection 2.1 provided that the aforesaid
interconnected company has suffered said emergency in or on its system prior
to and within forty-eight hours of that of the other party hereto and that,
if requested by said other party, such delivery of electric energy to said
interconnected company shall be discontinued within forty-eight hours
following the start of such delivery, and a subsequent delivery shall be
made for a full forty-eight hour period to said other party in accordance
with the provisions of said subsection 2.1.

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


SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

     3.1  Electric energy delivered under Section 2 above shall be settled
for either by the return of equivalent energy or, at the option of the party
that supplied such energy, by payment of the out-of-pocket cost--such cost
being as of the delivery point or points, as provided for in Section 5.01 of
Article 5 of this agreement, taking into account electric losses incurred
from the source or sources of such energy to said delivery point or
points--to the supplying party of generating or supplying such energy plus
ten per cent of such cost.  If equivalent energy is returned, it shall be
returned at times when the load conditions of the party receiving it are
equivalent to the load conditions of such party at the time the energy for
which it is returned was delivered or, if such party elects to have
equivalent energy returned under different conditions, it shall be returned
in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the Operating Committee, as will
compensate for the difference in conditions.

settlement as provided for in subsection 3.12 below.

          3.11  The Operating Committee shall arrange, if the parties
     mutually agree that it shall be so arranged, for the delivery of all
     or any part of the kilowatt-hour difference between the total
     kilowatt-hours received and delivered by one party during a full
     Maintenance Period, pursuant to Section 2 of this Service Schedule.
     Such delivery, to be made by the party receiving such kilowatt-hour
     difference to the other party, shall be made during the next following
     Maintenance Period at intervals thereof and in amounts and at rates of
     delivery to be determined and agreed upon by the Operating Committee,
     but such delivery shall be excluded from all accounting under this
     Service Schedule with respect to such following Maintenance Period.

          3.12  For the kilowatt-hour difference, or any part thereof if
     the parties mutually agree to effect a cash settlement for only such
     part, between the total kilowatt-hours received and delivered by one
     party during a full Maintenance Period, pursuant to Section 2 of this
     Service Schedule, the party receiving such kilowatt-hour difference
     shall pay the other party at a rate per kilowatt-hour determined by
     dividing (1), one hundred and ten per cent of the aggregate
     out-of-pocket cost--such cost being as of the delivery point or
     points, as provided for in Section 5.01 of Article 5 of this
     agreement, taking into account electrical losses incurred from the
     source or sources of such energy to said delivery point or
     points--experienced by the systems of both parties in generating or
     supplying the aggregate kilowatt-hours delivered during and applicable
     to such Maintenance Period, pursuant to Section 2 of this Service
     Schedule, by (2), the number of such aggregate kilowatt-hours.


SECTION 4 - MODIFICATION

     4.1  Each party, by written notice given to the other party not less
than ninety days prior to the end of the second or any subsequent
Maintenance Period, may call for a reconsideration of the terms and
conditions of this Service Schedule, provided that there shall be no such
reconsideration during the first Maintenance Period and no more than one
such reconsideration during the second Maintenance Period, and that no
subsequent reconsideration shall be made sooner than two years following any
previous reconsideration.  If such reconsideration is called for, there
shall be taken into account any changed conditions, any results from the
application of said terms and conditions not foreseen or reasonably
foreseeable as of the day first above written or as of the day of conclusion
of the next previous reconsideration, if any, and any other factors which
might cause said terms and conditions to result in any inequitable division
of the benefits of interconnected operation or in an inadequate realization
of such benefits.  Any modification in terms and conditions agreed to
between the parties following such reconsideration shall become effective at
the beginning of the Maintenance Period next following the aforesaid
ninety-day notice period.

                        SERVICE SCHEDULE D

                          ENERGY TRANSFER

         Under Agreement, dated December 30, 1960, between

              Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
                Indiana & Michigan Electric Company


SECTION 1 - DURATION

     1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under agreement, dated
December 30, 1960, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis
Company) and Indiana & Michigan Electric Company (Indiana Company) shall
become effective on the Interconnection Date as defined in Section 10.01 of
Article 10 of this agreement and shall continue in effect throughout the
duration of the agreement of which it is a part.


SECTION 2 - TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT

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

          2.11  Such energy transfer over their respective facilities
     shall be permitted when such transfer occurs; subject, however, to the
     understanding that such energy transfer shall not be of such magnitude
     or duration as to affect adversely or jeopardize the ability of the
     party over whose system such energy transfer occurs to render proper
     service to its customers, and to render or accept service to or from
     companies with which it now has or at any time hereafter it may have
     contractual arrangements to furnish, take, or interchange power or
     energy, or both.

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


SECTION 3 - POWER AND ENERGY ACCOUNTING

     3.1  The parties recognize that energy transfer as described under
Section 2 of this Service Schedule, except for such amounts of electrical
losses as may be incurred because of such energy transfer, is the
simultaneous acceptance and delivery of like amounts of power and energy by
and from the system of the party over whose system such energy transfer
occurs.  Power and energy associated with energy transfer, including
electrical losses associated therewith, shall be accounted for each
clock-hour as provided for under Article 6 of this agreement. Proper
consideration to such electrical losses will be in accordance with the
manner agreed upon by the Operating Committee.  It is understood by the
parties, however, that such electrical losses resulting from energy
transfer, to be taken as losses over and above the losses prevailing under
basic conditions agreed upon by the parties, shall be supplied
simultaneously by the party for whom such energy transfer is being made.
The parties have agreed that initially such basic conditions will be
established as those that exist when the scheduled net delivery between the
systems of the parties, and between their respective systems and the systems
of other interconnected companies, is zero kilowatts.  It is further
understood that, from time to time, conditions may require the establishment
of different basic conditions for such purpose.  Either party by written
notice given to the other party may call for a prompt re-examination and
reconsideration of matters pertinent to the establishment of said basic
conditions, whenever such re-examination appears to be warranted, and the
parties will thereupon agree to effect such changes in the basic conditions,
if any, that will equitably compensate the parties for such losses.  A
statement to be prepared by the parties at the end of each calendar month
shall include in detail the amounts of energy delivered and received by the
parties that are associated with energy transfer and the amounts of
electrical losses associated therewith.

                         INTERCHANGE POWER

         Under Agreement, dated December 30, 1960, between

              Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
                Indiana & Michigan Electric Company


SECTION 1 - DURATION

     1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under agreement, dated
December 30, 1960, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis
Company) and Indiana & Michigan Electric Company (Indiana Company) shall
become effective on the Interconnection Date as defined in Section 10.01 of
Article 10 of this agreement and shall continue in effect throughout the
duration of the agreement of which it is a part.


SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

     Economy Energy

     2.1  It is recognized that from time to time each of the parties may
have electric energy (herein called Economy Energy) available from surplus
capacity either on its own system or from sources outside its own system, or
both, and that Economy Energy could be supplied to the other party at a cost
that would result in operating savings to such other party.  Such operating
savings would result from the displacement of electric energy that otherwise
would be supplied from capacity either on such other party's system or from
sources outside its own system, or both.  To promote the economy of electric
power supply and to achieve efficient utilization of production capacity,
either party, whenever it in its own judgment determines Economy Energy is
available, may, but shall not be obligated to, offer Economy Energy to the
other party.  Promptly upon receipt of any such offer said other party shall
notify the offering party of the extent to which it desires to use such
Economy Energy, and schedules providing the periods and extent of use shall
be agreed upon.

     Non-Displacement Energy

     2.2  It is further recognized that from time to time occasions will
arise when the effecting of transactions as provided under subsection 2.1
next above will be impracticable, but at the same time one of the parties
may have electric energy (herein called Non-Displacement Energy) which it is
willing to make available from surplus capacity either on its own system or
from sources outside its own system, or both, that can be utilized
advantageously for short intervals by the other party. It shall be the
responsibility of the party desiring the receipt of Non-Displacement Energy
to initiate the receipt and delivery of such energy.  The party desiring
such receipt of energy shall inform the other party of the extent to which
it desires to use Non-Displacement Energy, and, when ever in its own
judgment such other party determines that it has Non-Displacement Energy
available, schedules providing the periods and extent of use shall be
mutually agreed upon.  Neither party shall be obligated to make any
Non-Displacement Energy available to the other.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

     Economy Energy

     3.1  Economy Energy supplied hereunder shall be considered as
displacing electric energy that otherwise would have been generated by the
receiving party at its own steam-electric generating stations or any
electric energy from third parties mutually agreed to be subject to
displacement hereunder.  Economy Energy shall be settled for at rates which
shall be predicated upon the principle that savings in operating costs to
the systems of the parties resulting from the use of Economy Energy shall be
divided between the parties as equally as is practicable. Prior to any
transaction involving the delivery and receipt of Economy Energy, authorized
representatives of the parties shall determine and agree upon the
compensation applicable to such transaction. Compensation so agreed upon
shall not be subject to later review or adjustment.

     Non-Displacement Energy

     3.2  Non-Displacement Energy delivered hereunder shall be settled for
either by the return of equivalent energy or, at the option of the party
that supplied such energy, by payment of the out-of-pocket cost--such cost
being as of the delivery point or points, as provided for in Section 5.01 of
Article 5 of this agreement, taking into account electrical losses incurred
from the source or sources of such energy to said delivery point or
points--to the supplying party of generating or supplying such energy plus
ten per cent of such cost.  If equivalent energy is returned, it shall be
returned at times when the load conditions of the party receiving it are
equivalent to the load conditions of such party at the time the energy for
which it is returned was delivered or, if such party elects to have
equivalent energy returned under different conditions, it shall be returned
in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the Operating Committee, as will
compensate for the difference in conditions.


                        SERVICE SCHEDULE F

                         SHORT TERM POWER

         Under Agreement, dated December 30, 1960, between

              Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
                Indiana & Michigan Electric Company


SECTION 1 - DURATION

     1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under agreement, dated
December 30, 1960, between Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis
Company) and Indiana & Michigan Electric Company (Indiana Company) shall
become effective on the Interconnection Date as defined in Section 10.01 of
Article 10 of this agreement and shall continue in effect throughout the
duration of the agreement of which it is a part.


SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

     2.1  Either party by giving the other party notice may reserve for
periods of not less than one week, i.e., any specified period of seven
consecutive days, such electric power (herein called Short Term Power) as
the other party may at such time have and is willing to make available as
Short Term Power.  The party asked to supply Short Term Power shall be the
sole judge as to the amounts and periods that its has electric power
available that may be reserved by the other party as Short Term Power.

          2.11  To reserve Short Term Power, the party desiring such power
     shall specify in its notice to the other party the number of kilowatts
     and the period for which it desires to so reserve such power and the
     desired schedule of delivery of the power so reserved.  The party
     receiving such notice, in a prompt acknowledgment shall signify the
     extent of its ability and willingness to comply with the provisions of
     such notice.  Any notice or any acknowledgment of such notice that may
     be given orally initially, if requested by either party, shall be
     confirmed in writing and such confirmation shall be forwarded not
     later than the third day following the day such oral notice is given.

          2.12  During the period that Short Term Power has been reserved
     as above provided, the party having agreed to supply such power shall
     deliver electric energy (herein called Short Term Energy) to the other
     party at the delivery point or points, as provided for in Section 5.01
     of Article 5 of this agreement, upon call and in amounts up to the
     number of kilowatts reserved.  However, in the event conditions arise
     during such period which could not have been reasonably foreseen at
     the time said power was reserved and such conditions would cause the
     delivery of Short Term Energy to be burdensome to the supplying party,
     said party has the right to request the other party to reduce its take
     of such energy to any amount specified and for any portion of such
     period.  The party so requested shall promptly comply with the request
     of the other party.

          2.13  The Short Term Power billing demand for any week shall be
     taken as equal to the number of kilowatts reserved for such week as
     Short Term Power.


SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

     3.1  Payments for the supply of Short Term Power and Short Term Energy
shall be predicated upon the following rates:

          3.11  Demand Charge

          For the billing demand for each week at the rate of $0.30 per
     kilowatt for such week.  In the event the amount of Short Term Energy
     taken is reduced upon request of the supplying party, the demand
     charge for the week during which such reduction is made shall be
     reduced by $0.06 per kilowatt of reduction for each day during which
     any reduction is in effect.

          3.12  Energy Charge

          For the kilowatt-hours of Short Term Energy taken, at a rate per
     kilowatt-hour equal to the out-of-pocket cost--such cost being as of
     the delivery point or points, as provided for in Section 5.01 of
     Article 5 of this agreement, taking into account electrical losses
     incurred from the source or sources of such energy to said delivery
     point or points--to the supplying party of generating or supplying
     such energy plus ten per cent of such cost.

     determination shall be confirmed in writing.  If during such period
     conditions arise that could not have been reasonably foreseen at the
     time of the reservation and cause the reservation to be burdensome to
     the supplying party, such party may by written notice to the reserving
     party, or oral notice later confirmed in writing, reduce the number of
     kilowatts reserved by such amount and for such time as it shall
     specify in such notice, but kilowatts reserved hereunder that the
     supplying party is in turn reserving from another system may be
     reduced only to the extent they are reduced by such other system.

          2.12  During each period that Short Term Power has been
     reserved, the party that has agreed to supply such power shall upon
     call provide Short Term Power up to and including the number of
     kilowatts then reserved and deliver electric energy ("Short Term
     Energy") to the reserving party at a rate during each hour of up to
     and including such number.

     kilowatt reserved less, for each day during any part of which the
     amount of such Short Term Power is reduced (other than Sunday) by the
     supplying party, one-sixth of said $0.40 per kilowatt of the
     reduction.  (Except that in no event shall the total of such
     deductions in any week exceed $0.40 per kilowatt.) For each period
     less than one week that Short Term Power is reserved, $0.10 per
     kilowatt reserved per day less, for any day during any part of which
     the amount of Short Term Power is reduced by the supplying party,
     $0.10 per kilowatt of the reduction; plus

          3.12  for each kilowatt of the reserved Short Term Power that is
     purchased by the supplying party from another system, prearranged in
     accordance with subsection 2.11 of this schedule (a) the excess, if
     any, of the amount paid therefor by the supplying party over the
     charge therefor under Section 3.11 of this Schedule (or if such amount
     is less than such charge, minus the deficiency) plus (b) for each week
     such Short Term Power is reserved, $0.125 per kilowatt less, for each
     day (other than Sunday) during any part of which any of such Short
     Term Power is not received from such other system, $0.021 per kilowatt
     not received.  (Except that in no event shall the total of such
     deductions in any week exceed $0.125 per kilowatt.); plus

          3.13  110% of the out-of-pocket cost of supplying Short Term
     Energy called for during such periods under subsection 2.12 of this

requested to reserve the same, such power is available.

          2.11  Prior to each reservation of Limited Term Power (Firm) the
     number of kilowatts to be reserved, the period of the reservation, and
     the source of the power if the supplying party is in turn reserving

     determination shall be confirmed in writing.

          2.12  During each period that Limited Term Power (Firm) has been
     reserved, the party that has agreed to supply power shall upon call
     provide Limited Term Power (Firm) up to and including the number of
     kilowatts then reserved and deliver electric energy ("Limited Term
     Energy (Firm)") to the reserving party at a rate during each hour of
     up to and including such number, except when such deliveries would in
     the judgment of the supplying party have to be interrupted or reduced
     to preserve the integrity of or to prevent or limit any instability on
     its system.

                        SERVICE SCHEDULE E

                         INTERCHANGE POWER

         Under Agreement, dated December 30, 1960, between
              Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
                Indiana & Michigan Electric Company



Section 1 - DURATION

     1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under the Interconnection
Agreement, dated as of the 30th day of December, 1960 between Indianapolis
Power & Light Company (Indianapolis Company) and Indiana and Michigan
Electric Company (Indiana Company), shall become effective as of March 15,
1977, and shall continue in effect throughout the duration of said
Interconnection Agreement of which it is a part.


Section 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

     Economy Energy

          2.1  Either party may arrange to purchase from any party of the
     other system electric energy ("Economy Energy") whenever it is
     possible to effect a saving thereby and, in the sole judgment of the
     party requested to supply the same, such energy is available.  Economy
     Energy may also be arranged to be obtained from or delivered to
     systems interconnected with the parties, but not a party to this
     Agreement.  Prior to each delivery of Economy Energy, the amount and
     time of delivery and the charge therefore shall be determined by the
     parties.

     Non-Displacement Energy

          2.2  It is further recognized that from time to time occasions
     will arise when the effecting of transactions as provided under
     subsection 2.1 next above will be impracticable but that at the same
     time one of the parties may have electric energy (herein called
     "Non-Displacement Energy") which it is willing to make available from
     surplus capacity either on its own system or from sources outside its
     own system or both, that can be utilized advantageously for short
     intervals by the other party.  It shall be the responsibility of the
     party desiring Non-Displacement Energy to initiate the receipt and
     delivery of such energy.  The party desiring such receipt of energy
     shall notify the other party of the extent to which it desires to use
     Non-Displacement Energy, and whenever in its sole judgment such other
     party determines that it has Non-Displacement Energy available,
     schedules providing the periods and extent of use shall be mutually
     agreed upon.  Neither party shall be obligated to make any
     Non-Displacement Energy available to the other.

Section 3 - COMPENSATION

     Economy Energy

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

          3.2  When Economy Energy is obtained from or delivered to other
     systems interconnected with the parties, but not signatories to this
     Agreement, payments shall be based on the out-of-pocket cost of the
     supplying party or system providing the energy and an allocation of
     the gross savings which are defined as the difference between (1) what
     the out-of-pocket cost of the receiving party or system would have
     been to generate such energy, and (2) the out-of-pocket cost of the
     supplying party or system providing the energy such allocation shall
     be made as provided in subsections 3.21 and 3.22 hereinbelow.

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

               3.22  The supplying party or system shall be paid its
          out-of-pocket costs of providing the energy, plus one-half of
          the gross savings remaining after deducting all (b) and (c)
          payments made under subsection 3.21.  The receiving party or
          system shall be entitled to the other one-half of the gross
          savings remaining after deducting all (b) and (c) payments made
          under subsection 3.21.

     Non-Displacement Energy

          3.3  Non-Displacement Energy delivered hereunder shall be
     settled for either by the return of equivalent energy or, at the
     option of the party that supplied such energy, by payment of the
     out-of-pocket cost - such cost being as of the delivery point or
     points, as provided for in Section 5.01 of said Interconnection
     Agreement, taking into account electrical losses incurred from the
     source or sources of such energy to said delivery point or points - of
     the supplying party in generating or supplying such energy plus ten
     per cent of such cost.  If equivalent energy is returned, it shall be
     returned at times when the load conditions of the party receiving it
     are equivalent to the load conditions of such party at the time the
     energy for which it is returned was delivered or, if such party elects
     to have equivalent energy returned under different conditions, it
     shall be returned in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the Operating
     Committee, as will compensate for the difference in conditions.

                        Modification No. 11

          may, due to unforeseen circumstances, make changes to this
          schedule by giving reasonable notice.

     d)   The availability of Seasonal Exchange Power and Energy and a
          supplying Party's obligation to deliver same to the purchasing
          Party in any hour is contingent upon the ability of the
          supplying Party to first meeting its internal load and its firm
          load commitments as of the effective date of this Service
          Schedule L.  The present firm load commitments of the AEP System
          are as enumerated in Section 2.5 above.

     e)   For the period defined in Section 2.7(a) during which Seasonal
          Exchange Power and Energy is agreed to be exchanged, I&M shall

deliver Peaking Power and Energy to IPL shall not exceed the calculated out-
of-pocket cost of operating a gas turbine plant with a Heat Rate of 11,121
/BUT/KWH during the same month.  The calculation of the out-of-pocket cost
of operating a gas turbine plant shall be made as agreed upon by the
Operating Committee.  The gas cost for this maximum rate calculation will be
equal to the cost experienced by IPL the previous month for its own gas
fired peaking capacity or the cost of natural gas for Indiana as listed in
the table "Average Price of Natural Gas Delivered to Electric Utility
Consumers by State" (current Table 31) in the "Energy Information
Administration/Natural Gas Monthly" for the previous month, if IPL shall not
have operated such generating capacity in the month.  IPL shall inform I&M
of such costs in a timely manner.

3.3  Charges for Seasonal Exchange Power.  There shall be no demand Charge
for Seasonal Exchange Power.  IPL shall make monthly payments to I&M during
the summer seasons and I&M shall make monthly payments to IPL during the
winter seasons, pursuant to Section 2.7(e), for Seasonal Exchange Energy
delivered.  The monthly charges will equal the delivering company's out-of-
pocket cost of supplying such Energy as defined in subsection 3.2 above,
plus the lesser of a) 10% of such out-of-pocket cost or b) 3 mills/KWH.

SECTION 4 -- REGULATORY APPROVAL

4.1  If the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") does not accept
this Service Schedule L for filing within ninety (90) days of its
submission, either Party may terminate this Service Schedule.  If the FERC
requires modification to the rates, terms, or conditions of this Service
Schedule L as a condition of accepting it for filing, either Party may
terminate this Service Schedule.  In the event the Indiana Utility
Regulatory Commission ("IURC") does not authorize IPL to sue one of the
purchase power cost recovery mechanisms requested by IPL, or in IPL's first
general retail electric rate proceeding ("Rate Case") following the
effective date of this Service Schedule L, the IURC disallows recovery of
past Demand Charges paid by IPL hereunder and/or disallows future Demand
Charges hereunder which are fixed, known and measurable for such rate
proceeding, then in any such event, IPL may terminate this Service Schedule
L.

4.2  Notice of any termination under this Section 4 shall be given in
writing by either Party to the other Party within thirty (30) days after
final action (final action being limited to relief available solely from
such regulatory authority without the necessity of filing any petition for
rehearing or reconsideration) of the regulatory authority involved which
imposes such modification, as hereinabove described, or which fails to
provide recovery by IPL of the Demand Charges payable by it under this
Service Schedule L.  This Service Schedule L shall automatically terminate
thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.

                  INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY


THIS AMENDMENT made and entered into as of the 1st day of January, 1995 by
Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL"), being an Amendment to the
Interconnection Agreement between Indiana Michigan Power Company ("Buyer")
and IPL dated December 30, 1960, as amended (the "Agreement").


                            WITNESSETH:


WHEREAS, IPL and Indiana Michigan Power Company entered into the Agreement
on December 30, 1960, which Agreement has been amended from time to time;


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

          Service Schedule B                 Emergency Service
          Service Schedule E                 Interchange Power
          Service Schedule F                 Short Term Power
          Service Schedule I                 Limited Term Power

          Service Schedule L                 Peaking Power and
                                             Energy and Seasonal
                                             Exchange Power and
                                             Energy

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

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


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


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


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


Section 1.     Compensation for SO2 Emission Allowances.

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


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


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


Section 2.     Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances Due IPL.

     Section 2.1.   Number of SO2 Allowances

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


     Section 2.2 .  Cost of SO2 Allowances

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



Section 3.     Effective Date.

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

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

referred  to as "IPL"), a corporation organized and  existing
under  the laws of the State of Indiana and PSI ENERGY,  INC.
(hereinafter  referred to as "PSI"), a corporation  organized
and  existing  under the laws of the State  of  Indiana,  and
CINERGY  SERVICES, INC. (hereinafter referred to as  "CINergy
Services"),  a corporation organized and existing  under  the
laws of the State of Delaware.  IPL, PSI and CINergy Services
are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as "Party"
and collectively as "Parties" where appropriate.
                    W I T N E S S E T H:

     0.02  WHEREAS, There is now in force and effect  between
IPL and PSI an Interconnection Agreement, dated as of May  1,
1992,   (said  Interconnection  Agreement  being  the   Ninth
Supplement to the 1962 Interconnection Agreement between  IPL
and PSI, herein called the "1992 Agreement"); and

     0.03  WHEREAS,  The  Cincinnati Gas &  Electric  Company
("CG&E")  and  PSI  merged on October 24,  1994,  and  formed
CINergy Corp. with CG&E and PSI now being called the "CINergy
Operating Companies"; and

     0.04 WHEREAS, CG&E, PSI and CINergy Services are parties
to  a  Service Agreement, dated March 2, 1994, which has been
approved  by the Securities and Exchange Commission  and  the
Indiana  Utility  Regulatory Commission (IURC),  under  which
CINergy  Services  will act as PSI*s agent  in  administering
PSI*s interconnection agreements and the three companies  are
also  parties to an Operating Agreement, dated March 2, 1994,
on  file  with and accepted by the FERC and approved  by  the
IURC   under   which  CINergy  Services  will  dispatch   the
generating units of CG&E, PSI and CINergy Services; and

     0.05  WHEREAS,  the Parties desire to  modify  the  1992
Agreement, as hereinafter set forth; and

     0.06  NOW,  THEREFORE, in consideration of the  premises
and mutual covenants and agreements of the Parties, as herein
set forth, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

                         ARTICLE 1
             PROVISIONS FOR, AND CONTINUITY OF
                  INTERCONNECTED OPERATION

          1.01.    Interconnection  Points.   The  respective
138,00 volt and 345,000 volt transmission systems of IPL  and
PSI are presently interconnected at the following points:

     (i)   The 138kV Five Points Interconnection Point
     (ii)  The 345kV Whitestown Interconnection Point

     (iii) The 345kV Gwynneville Interconnection Point
     (iv)  The 138kV Petersburg Interconnection Point
     (v)   The 345kV Petersburg Interconnection Point
     (vi)  The 138kV Centerton Interconnection Point
     (vii) The 138kV Carmel Tap Point

          1.02.  Future Interconnection Points.  The services
provided  for  by  the 1992 Agreement may  also  be  rendered
through  such other points of interconnection as the  Parties
may later agree upon by amending the 1992 Agreement.

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

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

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

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

                         ARTICLE 2
                  SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

          2.01.   Interconnection Services Schedules.  It  is
the  purpose  of  the  Parties to seek  and  realize,  on  an
equitable  basis,  all  benefits  which  may  be  practicably
effected   through   coordination  in   the   operation   and
development of their respective systems.  It is understood by
the  Parties that such benefits may be realized  by  each  of
them  by  carrying  out  under stated  terms  and  conditions
various  interconnection services and transactions  that  may
from time to time include among others:
     (i)   The furnishing of emergency service,
     (ii)  The  interchange, sale, and purchase of  energy  to
           effect operating economies,
     (iii) The  sale and purchase of short term electric
           power  and  energy available on the system  of  one
           Party and needed on the system of the other, and
     (iv)  The  transmission of power and energy on the  basis
           of simultaneous transfers.

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

          2.02.     Specific Terms and Conditions.  Since the
specific  services  to  be rendered in  furtherance  of  such
purpose will vary during the term of the 1992 Agreement,  and
the  terms  and  conditions applicable to such  services  may
require  modification from time to time, it is intended  that
such   specific   services  and  the  terms  and   conditions
applicable  thereto  will be set forth in  Service  Schedules
mutually  agreed  upon  between the  parties.   Such  Service
Schedules,   unless   and  until  changed,   terminated,   or
supplemented,  shall  be  those  specified  in  Section  2.03
hereof.   If  a Service Schedule under the 1992 Agreement  is
changed or supplemented, such Service Schedule shall be fully
restated in order to reflect such change or supplement.

          2.03.   Service Schedules.  The respective  Service
Schedules designated

Service Schedule A - Emergency Service
Service Schedule B - Interchange Energy
Service Schedule C - Short Term Power and Energy
Service Schedule D - Carmel Southeast Tap Power & Energy Transfer

have been agreed upon between the Parties, are identified  as
Exhibits  I,  II,  III,  and IV, respectively,  to  the  1992
Agreement and are attached hereto and made a part hereof  the
same  as if incorporated herein.  It is contemplated  by  the
Parties  that  all  additional mutually agreed  upon  Service
Schedules  will  be  made a part of the 1992  Agreement  upon
presentation and acceptance thereof.

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

"Out-of-Pocket Cost" of energy purchased from a  third  party
by the supplying Party shall consist of the total amount paid
therefore  by the supplying Party which otherwise  would  not
have  been  paid by such Party, plus any cost which otherwise
would not have been incurred, including, but not limited  to,
regulatory    commission   charges,   emission    allowances,
transmission losses and taxes related to such transaction.

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

     2.05.  Emission Allowances.  The federal Clean Air  Act,
as  amended,  42  U.S.C. Section 7401  et  seq.  (hereinafter
referred  to as "Clean Air Act"), establishes certain  annual
maximum  sulfur dioxide ("SO2") levels, stated  in  terms  of
required  emission  allowances, for  flue  gases  emitted  by
electric generating units, including units operated  by  IPL,
PSI  and  other  electric utilities who may  supply  electric
energy  for  transactions  under this  1992  Agreement.   The
generator of the electric energy supplied and delivered under
this  1992 Agreement is required by the Clean Air Act to have
adequate  "allowances" (as defined by Section 402(3)  of  the
Clean Air Act in conjunction with Section 403(f) of the Clean
Air  Act) in order to generate such electric energy.  To  the
extent  that either IPL or PSI are required by the Clean  Air
Act to have additional allowances by reason of its generation
of  electric  energy  to be supplied by it  under  this  1992
Agreement,  which allowances would otherwise  not  have  been
required  by such supplying Party, then, unless the supplying
Party  otherwise  agrees  in  advance  in  writing,  at   the
discretion  of the supplying Party, the Party receiving  such
energy  shall  be  responsible for the  cost  or  the  actual
furnishing (without cost to the supplying Party) of  adequate
allowances to the supplying Party in order for such Party  to
supply  such  energy under this Agreement. The Parties  shall
establish,  by  mutual agreement, appropriate  procedures  in
order  to  carry  out  the provisions of this  Section  2.05,
including a statement of costs before any transactions  under
the  Service  Schedules attached hereto are  started.   Also,
prior  to  implementation  of  every  transaction  under  the
Service Schedules attached hereto, the purchasing Party  must
declare  whether  they  will  pay  in  cash  or  return   SO2
Allowances  in-kind  for any consumption  of  SO2  Allowances
directly attributed to such transaction, if any.

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

When  IPL  is the supplier of energy and emission allowances,
the   recovery  of  the  applicable  costs  for  the   actual
furnishing  of  adequate  allowances  in  order  for  IPL  to
generate  and supply such energy will be implemented  in  the
following manner:
     (1)   The Buyer shall compensate IPL for the consumption
of  Sulfur  Dioxide  Emissions Allowances ("SO2  Allowances")
directly attributed to electric energy sales by IPL to  Buyer
under  the  Service Schedules.  Such compensation  shall,  at
Buyer*s  option,  be made by either supplying  IPL  with  the
number  of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to such  energy
sales, or by reimbursing IPL for the incremental cost of such
number  of  SO2 Allowances, rounded to the nearest whole  SO2
Allowance.

(1)  If   Buyer  opts  to  reimburse  IPL  in  cash  for  SO2
     Allowances associated with Buyer*s energy purchases  for
     the  month,  the  cash amount due  at  billing  will  be
     determined  by multiplying the number of SO2  Allowances
     attributed  to the sale by the incremental cost  of  the
     SO2 Allowances, as determined in Subsection 2(b) of this
     Section 2.05, at the time of the sale.

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

(2)  Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances Due IPL

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

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

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

(1)  The  current  Environmental  Protection  Agency  ("EPA")
     auction price to value emission allowances will be  used
     for  energy  sales transactions.  The dispatch  criteria
     may  be  revised  from  time to  time  if  the  emission
     allowance purchases on the average are determined to  be
     significantly different than the EPA auction price.

(2)  For each hour in which there is a transaction for energy
     services  using  an Out-of-Pocket Cost rate  under  this
     1992 Agreement, PSI will:

     (a)  identify the generation sources used to provide the
          transaction*s energy by identifying the energy that
          would  not  have been used had the transaction  not
          been  in effect that hour by using the same  after-
          the-fact incrementing costing model that is used to
          calculate  the incremental cost of fuel under  this
          1992 Agreement;

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

# OF UNITS
E  [MBTU SALE - MBTU NO SALE] * [SO2] * [100%-SE]
             100%

MBTU SALE = Million BTU consumed on unit n with sale.
MBTU NO SALE = Million BTU consumed on unit n without sale.
SO2 = Tons of SO2 produced per million BTU of fuel burned.
SE = Scrubber Efficiency in %.

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

     (3)  The  purchasing  Party  of energy  shall  have  the
          option   of   purchasing  or   providing   emission
          allowances  for  each transaction.  The  purchasing
          Party  shall notify PSI of its election to purchase
          or  provide emission allowances prior to the  start
          of   the  transaction.   The  running  quantity  of
          emission  allowances charged or furnished  will  be
          shown  on  the  monthly invoices to the  purchasing
          Party.

     (4)  When  the  purchasing  Party of  energy  elects  to
          purchase the emission allowances from PSI, then the
          quantity  of  emission  allowances  used  will   be
          included  as  part of the charges  on  the  monthly
          invoices to the purchasing Party.

     (5)  By  January 15th of the year following the calendar
          year   in  which  the  transaction  occurred,   the
          purchasing  Party  of  energy  shall  transfer  the
          appropriate  emission allowances  to  PSI  for  the
          emission  allowances used when the  allowances  are
          provided in kind.
     (6)  PSI   has   adopted   the  same  incremental   cost
          calculation   to  value  emission  allowances   for
          dispatch    criteria   as   for   billing    energy
          transactions.
                         ARTICLE 3
                     SERVICE CONDITIONS

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

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

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

     4.01.       Delivery   Points.   All   electric   energy
delivered  under the 1992 Agreement shall be of the character
commonly  known as three-phase sixty Hertz energy, and  shall
be  delivered  at the Interconnection Points specified  under
Section 1.01 hereof, at a nominal voltage of 138,000 volts at
the  Five Points and Centerton Interconnection Points, at the
138KV Petersburg Interconnection Point, and at the Carmel Tap
Point;  and  at  a nominal voltage of 345,000  volts  at  the
Whitestown and Gwynneville Interconnection Points, and at the
345KV  Petersburg Interconnection Point; and  at  such  other
points  and voltages as hereafter may be agreed upon  by  the
parties pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof.

     4.02.      Billing  Based on Scheduled Transaction.   As
IPL  and  PSI  systems are interconnected with other  systems
forming  a  network, it is recognized that,  because  of  the
physical  and  electrical characteristics of  the  facilities
involved, a part or all of the energy being transferred  from
one  Party  to the other may flow through such other  systems
rather than through the point or points of connection between
the systems of the Parties.  A part or all of the power being
transferred  between other systems in the  network  may  flow
through the point or points of connection between the systems
of the Parties, and as a result be included in the demand and
energy   meter   readings  at  the   point   or   points   of
interconnection.  Therefore, all billings shall be  based  on
scheduled  transactions  or upon methods  determined  by  the
Operating  Committee  which may result  from  development  of
arrangements  with  other interconnected  systems  and  which
provide  a  basis  for accounting for the  power  and  energy
transfers actually contracted for between the Parties.
     4.03.      Metering Points.  Electric power  and  energy
supplied  and  delivered under the 1992  Agreement  shall  be
measured  by  suitable  metering  equipment  which  shall  be
provided,  owned and maintained by PSI or ILP  as  designated
below at the following metering points:

     (i)  138,000 volt metering equipment installed by PSI at
          the  Five  Points Substation; 138,000 volt metering
          equipment   installed  by  PSI  at  the   Centerton
          Substation;  138,000  and  345,000  volt   metering
          equipment   installed  by  IPL  at  the  Petersburg
          Station;  345,000 volt metering equipment installed
          by  IPL  at its Sunnyside Substation and  at  PSI*s
          Gwynneville and Whitestown Substations; and 12.47kV
          metering  equipment installed by PSI at its  Carmel
          Southeast Substation, and

     (ii) At  such other locations as hereafter may be agreed
          upon  by  the  Parties  pursuant  to  Section  1.02
          hereof.

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

     4.05.      Measurement of Electric Energy.  Measurements
of  electric  energy for the purpose of effecting settlements
under  the 1992 Agreement shall be made by standard types  of
electric  meters  installed and maintained (unless  otherwise
provided  for in the Agreement) by the owner at the  metering
points  described in Section 4.03 above.  The timing  devices
of all meters having such devices shall be maintained in time
synchronism as closely as practicable.

     The meters shall be sealed and the seals shall be broken
only  upon  occasions when the meters are  to  be  tested  or
adjusted.   for  the purpose of checking the records  of  the
metering  equipment  installed  by  one  of  the  Parties  as
hereinabove provided, the other Party shall have the right to
install  check  metering equipment at the aforesaid  metering
points.  Metering equipment so installed by one Party on  the
premises of the other Party, unless otherwise provided for in
the  1992  Agreement, shall be owned and  maintained  by  the
Party  installing  such equipment.  Upon termination  of  the
1992  Agreement,  the  Party owning such  metering  equipment
shall  remove  it  from  the premises  of  the  other  Party.
Authorized representatives of both Parties shall have  access
at  all reasonable hours to the premises where the meters are
located and to the records made by the meters.

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

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

                         ARTICLE 5
                   RECORDS AND STATEMENTS

     5.01.      Records.   In  addition  to  records  of  the
metering provided for in Article 4 hereof, the Parties  shall
keep  in  duplicate such other records as may  be  needed  to
afford  a clear history of the various deliveries of electric
energy  made by one Party to the other and of the  clock-hour
integrated demands in kilowatt-hours delivered by  one  Party
to the other.  In maintaining such records, the Parties shall
effect  such  segregations  and allocations  of  demands  and
electric  energy  delivered  into  classes  representing  the
various   services  and  conditions  as  may  be  needed   in
connection  with settlements under the 1992  Agreement.   The
originals of all such records shall be retained by the  Party
keeping  the  records and the duplicates shall  be  delivered
monthly to the other Party, except that the Parties may agree
upon a different time interval for such delivery.

     5.02.      Statements.  As promptly as practicable after
the  end of each calendar month, the Parties shall prepare  a
statement  setting  forth  the  electric  power  and   energy
transactions  between the Parties during such month  in  such
detail  and  with  such segregations as  may  be  needed  for
operating records or for settlements under the provisions  of
the 1992 Agreement.
                         ARTICLE 6
                   BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS

     6.01.      Billing Period. Unless otherwise agreed  upon
by  the  Parties,  the calendar month shall be  the  standard
billing period for all settlements under the 1992 Agreement.

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

     6.03.     Billing Payments.  All bills for amounts  owed
by  one  Party to the other Party shall be due on  the  first
business day following the twentieth (20th) day after the end
of  the calendar month or period service was rendered, or  on
the  fifteenth  (15th) business day following  receipt  of  a
bill,  whichever  is  later.   Payments  shall  be  made   by
electronic  transfer  or  by such  other  mutually  agreeable
method  as shall cause such payment to be available  for  the
account of the payee on or before the due date.  Interest  on
unpaid  amounts,  both principal and interest,  shall  accrue
daily  at  the then current prime interest rate per annum  of
The  Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., New York, New York, plus two
percent (2%) per annum, or the maximum rate permitted by law,
whichever  is  less, from the date due until  the  date  upon
which payment is made.

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

     6.05.      Billing  Disputes.  If a Party  disputes  the
correctness of a bill, such Party will, nevertheless, pay the
undisputed  portion of such bill, plus a minimum of  one-half
(1/2)  of the disputed amount, and shall submit to the  other
Party  a written statement detailing the items disputed.   If
the Parties are unable to agree upon the disputed items, such
items  shall  be  submitted to the  Operating  Committee  for
further action consistent with the 1992 Agreement.
                         ARTICLE 7
                    OPERATING COMMITTEE

     7.01.      Operating Committee Organization and  Duties.
To  coordinate the operation of their respective  generation,
transmission,  and substation facilities in  order  that  the
benefits of the 1992 Agreement may be realized by the Parties
to   the  fullest  practicable  extent,  the  Parties   shall
establish  a  committee of authorized representatives  to  be
known  as the Operating Committee.  Each of the Parties shall
designate in writing delivered to the other Party, the person
who  is  to  act  as its authorized representative  (the  "OC
Representative") on said committee (and the person or persons
who may serve as Alternate whenever the OC Representative  is
unable  to  act).   The OC Representative  and  Alternate  or
Alternates   shall   each  be  persons  familiar   with   the
generation, transmission, and substation facilitates  of  the
system  of the Party he represents, and each shall  be  fully
authorized  (i) to cooperate with the other OC Representative
(or  Alternates) and (ii) as the need arises and  subject  to
the  declared intentions of the Parties as herein  set  forth
and to the terms hereof and the terms of any other agreements
then  in  effect between the Parties, to determine and  agree
from time to time upon the following:

     (i)  All  matters  pertaining  to  the  coordination  of
          maintenance  of  the  generation  and  transmission
          facilities of the Parties.

     (ii) All  matters  pertaining to the  control  of  time,
          frequency,  energy  flow, kilovar  exchange,  power
          factor,  voltage, and other similar matters bearing
          upon the satisfactory synchronous operation of  the
          systems of the Parties.

     (iii)      Such  other matters not specifically provided
          for herein upon which cooperation, coordination and
          agreement  as to quantity, time, method, terms  and
          conditions  are  necessary,  in  order   that   the
          operation of the respective systems of the  Parties
          may  be  coordinated to the end that the  potential
          benefits  anticipated  by  the  Parties   will   be
          realized to the fullest extent practicable.

     7.02.      Operating Committee Access.  For the  purpose
of inspection and reading of meters, checking of records, and
all  other pertinent matters, the OC Representative and their
Alternates  shall have the right of entry at  any  reasonable
time  to all property of the Parties used in connection  with
the performance of the 1992 Agreement.

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

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

     7.05.       Authority  to  Amend  or  Supplement.    The
Operating  Committee  may  recommend  changes  to  the   1992
Agreement,  but  said  Operating  Committee  shall  not  have
authority to amend or supplement the 1992 Agreement.

                         ARTICLE 8
            CONTINUITY AND SUSPENSION OF SERVICE
               RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND
                      LIABILITY LIMITS

     8.01.      Continuity and Suspension of  Service.   Each
Party  shall  exercise  reasonable  care  and  foresight   to
maintain  continuity  of  service as  provided  in  the  1992
Agreement.   In  no event shall one Party be  liable  to  the
other Party or its customers for loss or damage arising  from
failure  to provide or for the interruption or suspension  of
any  service  provided for herein.  Each Party  reserves  the
right to suspend service without liability at such times  and
for  such  periods and in such manner as it deems  advisable,
including, without limitation, suspensions for the purpose of
making  necessary adjustments to, changes in, or repairs  on,
its  facilities and to suspend service in cases where, in its
sole  opinion, the continuance of service to the other  Party
would  endanger persons or property.  Both Parties shall  use
their  best  efforts  to provide each other  with  reasonable
notice in the event of suspension of service.

     8.02.     Relative Responsibilities.  Each Party assumes
all responsibility for receipt and delivery of electricity on
its   system  to  and  from  the  Points  of  Interconnection
specified  in Section 1.01 hereof or agreed upon pursuant  to
Section    1.02   hereof.    Neither   Party   assumes    any
responsibility    with   respect   to    the    construction,
installation, maintenance or operation of the system  of  the
other  Party or of the systems of third parties, in whole  or
in  part.  In no event shall one Party be liable to the other
Party  for  damage  or  injury to  any  person  or  property,
whatsoever,  arising,  accruing or  resulting  from,  in  any
manner,   the   receiving,   transmission,   control,    use,
application  or  distribution  of  said  electric  power  and
energy.   Each  Party  shall  use  reasonable  diligence   to
maintain  its facilities in proper and serviceable condition,
and   shall   take  reasonable  steps  and  precautions   for
maintaining  the services agreed to be provided and  received
under  the  1992 Agreement.  Each Party shall be  responsible
for  its  own  compliance  with all applicable  environmental
regulations and shall bear all costs arising from its failure
to comply with such environmental regulations.

     8.03.      Limitation of Liability.  In no  event  shall
one  Party  be  liable to the other Party for  any  indirect,
special, incidental or consequential damages with respect  to
any claim arising out of the 1992 Agreement.

                         ARTICLE 9
                     TERM OF AGREEMENT

     9.01.      The  term of the 1992 Agreement  and  of  the
annexed  Service Schedules shall begin as of May 1, 1992  and
(except for Service Schedule D) shall continue through  April
30,  2022 (the "Initial Term"); thereafter, the Agreement and
Service  Schedules (except Service Schedule D) shall continue
for successive terms of three (3) years each unless and until
terminated  by  either Party by giving notice  to  the  other
Party  of  its  intention to terminate the 1992 Agreement  at
least  two (2) years prior to the end of the Initial Term  or
any  successive term; provided, that the 1992 Agreement shall
not  be deemed to have terminated until all prior commitments
for  sales  or purchases of power and energy hereunder  shall
have  been  fulfilled and all payments shall have been  made.
The  term of Service Schedule D shall be as provided therein.
Any  notice  of termination hereunder shall be given  to  the
President or Chief Operations Officer of a Party with a  copy
to the OC Representative of such Party.

                         ARTICLE 10
                          WAIVERS

     10.01.     Any  waiver at any time by  either  party  of
their  rights  with  respect to  a  default  under  the  1992
Agreement,  or  with respect to any other matter  arising  in
connection  with  the 1992 Agreement shall not  be  deemed  a
waiver with respect to any subsequent default or matter.  Any
delay,  short  of  the  statutory period  of  limitation,  in
asserting  or  enforcing any right under the  1992  Agreement
shall not be deemed a waiver of such right.

                         ARTICLE 11
                           TAXES

     11.01.     If  at any time during the term hereof  there
should  be levied or assessed against either Party any direct
tax  by  any  taxing authority on the capacity or energy  (or
both)  generated, purchased, sold, transmitted,  interchanged
or  exchanged by it, which tax is in addition to or different
from  the  forms  of such direct tax as are being  levied  or
assessed as of the date hereof and such direct tax results in
increasing the cost of either or both the Parties in carrying
out  the provisions of the 1992 Agreement, then such increase
shall be reflected in the charges for capacity or energy  (or
both)  furnished  by one Party to the other hereunder  as  is
necessary  in order to make adequate and equitable allowances
for such tax.

                         ARTICLE 12
                          NOTICES

     12.01.     Notices Relating to Provisions  of  the  1992
Agreement.   Except as herein otherwise provided, any  notice
which  may be given to or made upon either Party by the other
Party,  under  any of the provisions of the  1992  Agreement,
shall  be  in  writing  unless it is  otherwise  specifically
provided herein, and shall be treated as duly delivered  when
the  same is either (a) personally delivered to the President
or  Chief  Operations  Officer of  the  other  Party  or  (b)
deposited  in  the  United States mail, postage  prepaid  and
properly  addressed  to  the President  or  Chief  Operations
Officer  of  the other Party; provided, however, that  either
Party may alter its recipient for notice hereunder by written
notice  to  the other Party in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 12.01.

     12.02.     Notices of An Operating Nature.  Any  notice,
request  or  demand  pertaining to matters  of  an  operating
nature  may  be  served in person or by United  States  mail,
messenger, telephone, or telegraph, facsimile transmission or
orally,  as circumstances dictate, from the OC Representative
of  one  Party  to the OC Representative of the other  Party;
provided,  that should the same not be written,  confirmation
thereof  shall  be  made in writing as  soon  as  practicable
thereafter, upon request of the Party being served.

                         ARTICLE 13
                   REGULATORY AUTHORITIES

     13.01.     Regulatory Authority.  The 1992 Agreement  is
made   subject  to  the  authority  of  the  Federal   Energy
Regulatory  Commission  or any other governmental  regulatory
agency having jurisdiction in the premises and, if any of the
terms and conditions hereof are altered or made impossible of
performance  by  order,  rule,  or  regulation  of  any  such
regulatory agency, and the Parties hereto are unable to agree
upon  a  modification of such terms and conditions that  will
satisfy  such order, rule, or regulation, then neither  Party
shall be liable to the other for failure thereafter to comply
with  such  terms and conditions; provided,  that  if  either
Party deems that the failure of such performance results in a
substantial  breach  of  the 1992 Agreement,  then  the  1992
Agreement may be terminated forthwith upon thirty (30)  days*
advance written notice.

     13.02.     Amendments.   The  1992  Agreement  and   the
annexed  Service Schedules may be amended by mutual agreement
of the Parties, which amendment shall be in writing and shall
become  effective  in accordance with Section  13.01  hereof.
The  rates  and  charges  set forth in  the  annexed  Service
Schedules are subject to amendment and change, and each party
reserves  the  right from time to time to seek  unilaterally,
from any regulatory agency having jurisdiction, amendments or
changes  in  its  rates  and charges  set  forth  therein  in
accordance with the applicable law.  Nothing contained in the
1992   Agreement,  any  annexed  Service  Schedule   or   any
supplements  thereto shall be construed as affecting  in  any
way   the   right  of  either  Party  unilaterally  to   make
application  to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission  (or
any  successor regulatory agency having jurisdiction)  for  a
change  in  rates under Section 205 of the Federal Power  Act
and   pursuant  to  the  Commission*s  Rules  and  Regulation
promulgated  thereunder  (or under  comparable  statutes  and
regulations   of   a  successor  regulatory   agency   having
jurisdiction).

                         ARTICLE 14
                       MISCELLANEOUS

     14.01.    No Partnerships; Tax Matters.  Notwithstanding
any  provision  of  the 1992 Agreement to the  contrary,  the
Parties  do  not  intend to create hereby any joint  venture,
partnership, association taxable as a corporation,  or  other
entity  for the conduct of any business for profit,  and  any
construction of the 1992 Agreement to the contrary which  has
an  adverse tax effect on either Party shall render the  1992
Agreement null and void from its inception.

     14.02.     Computation of Time.  In computing any period
of  time prescribed or allowed by the 1992 Agreement, the day
of  the  act,  event,  or default from which  the  designated
period  of time begins to run shall be excluded but the  last
day  of  such  period  shall  be included,  unless  it  is  a
Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which event the period
shall run until the end of the next business day which is not
a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

     14.03.     Section Headings Not to Affect Meaning.   The
descriptive  headings of the Articles, Sections,  Subsections
and  paragraphs of the 1992 Agreement have been inserted  for
convenience only and shall not modify or restrict any of  the
terms and provisions thereof.

                         ARTICLE 15
                         ASSIGNMENT

     15.01.     The 1992 Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of,  and  be  binding  upon,  the respective  successors  and
assigns of the Parties, but the assignment thereof by a Party
shall not relieve such Party, without the written consent  of
the  other Party, of any obligation to supply, or to take and
pay for, as the case may be, the services hereunder.

                         ARTICLE 16
             ENTIRE AGREEMENT CONTAINED HEREIN

     16.01.      The  1992  Agreement  contains  the   entire
agreement  between  the  Parties in respect  of  the  subject
matter  hereof,  and  there  are no  other  understanding  or
agreements between the Parties in respect thereof;  provided,
however,  that nothing contained in the 1992 Agreement  shall
be  deemed  to affect in any manner whatsoever any rights  or
claims either Party may have against the other Party pursuant
to any other agreement in effect before the effective date of
the  1992 Agreement with respect to any matter, including any
right  or claim to payments after the effective date  of  the
1992 Agreement pursuant to other preexisting agreements.

                         ARTICLE 17
                 1962 AGREEMENT SUPERSEDED

     17.01.    The 1992 Agreement constitutes an amendment to
and  complete restatement of the 1962 Agreement and, as such,
supersedes  the 1962 Agreement from and after  the  date  the
1992 Agreement becomes effective.

                         ARTICLE 18
              AGENCY OF CINERGY SERVICES, INC.

     18.01.     CINergy  Services joins in the  execution  of
this Agreement for the sole purpose of serving and acting  as
agent for PSI.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Parties have caused the 1992 Agreement
to  be executed by their respectable duly authorized officers
and  their respective corporate seal to be hereunder  affixed
as of the date first above mentioned.

                     EMERGENCY SERVICE


SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1   This Service Schedule A, being a part of and under  the
Interconnection Agreement (referred to herein  as  the  "1992
Agreement"),  dated  as  of May 1, 1992,  among  Indianapolis
Power  &  Light  Company (hereinafter called "IPL")  and  PSI
Energy,  Inc.,  formerly  named  Public  Service  Company  of
Indiana,   Inc.  (hereinafter  called  "PSI")   and   CINergy
Services, Inc. (hereinafter called "CINergy Services"), shall
become  effective  as  of the effective  date  of  the  Third
Amendment,  dated  June 30, 1995, to the 1992  Agreement  and
shall continue in effect throughout the duration of the  1992
Agreement.   IPL,  PSI  and CINergy  Services  are  sometimes
hereinafter   referred   to  individually   as   "Party"   or
collectively as "Parties" where appropriate.


SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1   Conditional  Service.  Subject  to  the  provisions  of
Subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, in the event of a breakdown
or other emergency in or on the system of any Party involving
either sources of power or transmission facilities, or  both,
impairing  or jeopardizing the ability of the Party suffering
the  emergency to meet the loads of its system, another Party
shall  deliver  to  such Party electric  energy  that  it  is
requested  to deliver; provided, however, that a Party  shall
not  be  obligated to deliver such energy which, in its  sole
judgment,  it cannot deliver without interposing a hazard  to
or  economic burden upon its operations or without  impairing
or jeopardizing the other load requirements of its system and
provided further, that a Party shall be obligated to  deliver
electric  energy to another Party for a period in  excess  of
forty-eight   (48)  consecutive  hours  during   any   single
emergency.

2.2    Non-performance.   The  Parties  recognize  that   the
delivery of electric energy as provided in Subsection 2.1  of
this  Section  2  is  subject to  two  conditions  which  may
preclude the delivery of such energy as so provided:  (a) the
Party  requested to deliver electric energy may be  suffering
an  emergency  in or on its own system as described  in  said
Subsection  2.1,  or  (b)  the  system  of  a  Party  may  be
delivering   electric  energy,  under  a   mutual   emergency
interchange   agreement,   to   the   system    of    another
interconnected company which is suffering any emergency in or
on its system.  Under conditions as cited under (a) above,  a
Party  shall not be considered to be in default hereunder  if
it is unable to comply with the provisions of said Subsection
2.1.   Under  conditions as cited under (b)  above,  a  Party
shall  not be considered to be in default hereunder if it  is
unable to comply with the provisions of said Subsection  2.1;
provided,  however, that such Party shall make  every  effort
consistent  with  the terms of its contract with  said  other
interconnected  company  to  make  the  electric  energy   as
provided in Subsection 2.1 available to another Party  hereto
as soon as possible.
2.3   Reserve Generating Capacity Review.  If at any time the
record over a reasonable prior period shows clearly that  one
of  the  Parties has failed to deliver energy  in  accordance
with  and  subject  to the provisions of Subsection  2.1  and
Subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, a Party, by written  notice
given  to  another Party, may call for a joint study  by  the
Parties  of  the reserve generating capacity in and  provided
for  their respective systems and of their respective  system
transmission facilities affecting the supply and delivery  of
power  and energy under the 1992 Agreement.  It shall be  the
purpose of such study to determine the adequacy or inadequacy
of  reserve  generating capacity and transmission  facilities
being  provided  to  meet  the requirements  of  the  Parties
respective  systems, reflecting obligations  under  the  1992
Agreement, and, if inadequate, the extent of the burden  that
a  Party may be placing upon another Party.  If it should  be
found  that  a Party is placing an unreasonable  burden  upon
another Party, the Party causing such burden shall take  such
measures  as are necessary to remove the burden from  another
Party,  or the Parties shall enter into such arrangements  as
shall  provide for equitable compensation to the Party  being
burdened.


SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  When IPL is the Supplying Party:

     3.11   Emergency Energy delivered that is  generated  by
IPL shall be settled for, at the option of IPL, either by the

Subsection  3.11 is exercised, then it shall be  returned  at
times when the load conditions of the Party receiving it  are
equivalent to the load conditions of such Party at  the  time
the energy for which it is returned was delivered or, if such
Party   elects  to  have  equivalent  energy  returned  under
different  conditions, it shall be returned in such  amounts,
to  be  agreed  upon  by the Operating  Committee  under  the
Agreement, as will compensate the Party for the difference in
conditions.

               EXHIBIT II
               (First Revision)

                     SERVICE SCHEDULE B

                     INTERCHANGE ENERGY


SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1   This Service Schedule B, being a part of and under  the
Interconnection Agreement (referred to herein  as  the  "1992
Agreement"),  dated  as  of May 1, 1992,  among  Indianapolis
Power  &  Light  Company (hereinafter called "IPL")  and  PSI
Energy,  Inc.,  formerly  named  Public  Service  Company  of
Indiana,   Inc.  (hereinafter  called  "PSI")   and   CINergy
Services, Inc. (hereinafter called "CINergy Services"), shall
become  effective  as  of the effective  date  of  the  Third
Amendment,  dated  June 30, 1995 to the  1992  Agreement  and
shall continue in effect throughout the duration of the  1992
Agreement.   IPL,  PSI  and CINergy  Services  are  sometimes
hereinafter   referred   to  individually   as   "Party"   or
collectively as "Parties" where appropriate.


SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

     Economy Energy

2.1   It is recognized that from time to time that any of the
Parties  may  have  electric energy (herein  called  "Economy
Energy")  available from surplus capacity either on  its  own
system  or from sources outside its own system, or both,  and
that  Economy Energy could be supplied to another Party at  a
cost  that would result in operating savings to such  another
Party.    Such  operating  savings  would  result  from   the
displacement  of  electric energy  that  otherwise  would  be
supplied from capacity either on such other Party's system or
from sources outside its own system, or both. To promote  the
economy  of  electric power supply and to  achieve  efficient
utilization of production capacity, any Party, whenever it in
its  sole  judgment determines Economy Energy  is  available,
may,  but shall not be obligated to, offer Economy Energy  to
another Party.  Promptly upon receipt of any such offer  said
Party  shall notify the offering Party of the extent to which
it   desires  to  use  such  Economy  Energy,  and  schedules
providing  the  periods and extent of use shall  be  mutually
agreed upon by the Parties.  Such energy is non-firm and  may
be  withdrawn by the supplying Party with a ten  (10)  minute
notification.  A transaction made by PSI and CINergy Services
under  this Service Schedule B shall not extend beyond twelve
(12) months.

     Non-Displacement Energy

2.2   It  is  further  recognized  that  from  time  to  time
occasions  will arise when the effecting of transactions,  as
provided  in  Subsection  2.1 of  this  Section  2,  will  be
impracticable,  but at the same time one of the  Parties  may
have   electric   energy  (herein  called   "Non-Displacement
Energy")  which it is willing to make available from  surplus
capacity either on its own system or from sources outside its
own  system, or both, that can be utilized advantageously for
short   intervals  by  another  Party.   It  shall   be   the
responsibility  of  the Party desiring the  receipt  of  Non-
Displacement Energy to initiate the receipt and  delivery  of
such energy.  Any Party desiring such receipt of energy shall
inform another Party of the extent to which it desires to use
Non-Displacement  Energy, and whenever in its  sole  judgment
such  another  Party determines that it has  Non-Displacement
Energy  available, schedules providing the periods and extent
of  use  shall  be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.   Any
Party  shall  not  be obligated to make any  Non-Displacement
Energy available to another Party.

2.3   PSI may reduce or discontinue the supply of Hourly Non-
Displacement  Energy  at any time.  To the  extent  possible,
however,  PSI  shall  advise IPL of its intention  to  reduce
materially   or  discontinue  the  supply  of   Hourly   Non-
Displacement Energy.

2.4   PSI  shall  supply  Daily and  Weekly  Non-Displacement
Energy  for three (3) hours after they have notified  IPL  of
its  intention to discontinue such supply of energy; however,
PSI  shall  be under no obligation to continue the supply  of
said  energy  for  more  than  three  (3)  hours  after  said
notification.

2.5   A  transaction made by PSI under Subsection  2.2  above
shall not extend beyond twelve (12) months.


SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

     Economy Energy

3.1   The charge for Economy Energy purchased by a Party from
another Party shall be based on the principle that the  Party
purchasing it shall pay the Out-Of-Pocket Cost (including all
operating,  maintenance, tax, regulatory commission  charges,
transmission  losses and other expenses incurred  that  would
not  have  been incurred if the energy had not been supplied)
being at the interconnection points (as defined in Article  4
of  the  1992 Agreement), of the Party supplying such  energy
and  that the resulting savings to the receiving Party  shall
be  equally  shared  by the supplying and receiving  Parties.
Prior  to any transaction involving the delivery and  receipt
of  Economy Energy, authorized representatives of the Parties
shall determine and agree upon the compensation applicable to
such  transaction.  Compensation so agreed upon shall not  be
subject to later review or adjustment.  PSI shall dedicate an
amount   at  the  time  of  the  transactions  for   non-firm
transmission  service  per  the  provisions  of  the  CINergy
Services, Inc., FERC Electric Tariff, Original Volume No.  3,
Non-Firm Point-to-Point Transmission Service Standard  Tariff
- -  NFT  (or  any  successor transmission  tariff  of  similar
service) from its portion of the resulting savings.

3.2   When  Economy Energy is obtained from or  delivered  to
other  systems  interconnected  with  the  Parties,  but  not
signatories to the 1992 Agreement, payments shall be based on
the  Out-Of-Pocket  Cost  of the supplying  Party  or  system
providing  the energy and an allocation of the gross  savings
which are defined as the difference between (1) what such Out-
Of-Pocket  Costs of the receiving Party or system would  have
been  to  generate  such energy, and (2)  such  Out-Of-Pocket
Costs  of the supplying Party or system providing the energy.
Such allocation shall be made as provided in Subsections 3.21
and 3.22 hereinbelow:

     3.21 The  transmitting Party shall be paid (a) its costs
          of  purchasing the energy supplied,  plus  (b)  its
          costs  of  additional transmission losses plus  (c)
          the following:

          (1)  When  IPL is such transmitting Party:  Fifteen
               percent  (15%) of the gross savings  remaining
               after   deducting   all  such   payments   for
               transmission losses.

          (2)  When PSI is the transmitting Party, they shall
               receive  the  greater of (a) 15% (such  charge
               pertains  to  the reservation of transmission)
               of the gross savings remaining after deducting
               all  such payments for transmission losses  or
               (b)  the  sum  of  a demand  charge  rate  per
               megawatt  reserved per hour at the  time  such
               Economy   Energy  is  reserved  for   non-firm
               transmission service per the provisions of the
               CINergy  Services, Inc., FERC Electric Tariff,
               Original Volume No. 3, Non-Firm Point-to-Point
               Transmission Service Standard Tariff - NFT (or
               any  successor transmission tariff of  similar
               service),  plus  $1.00 per megawatt-hour  (for
               difficult  to quantify energy-related  costs),
               plus any transmission losses resulting on  the
               system  of the CINergy Operating Companies  on
               account  of  the  transaction  and  plus   any
               regulatory   commission  charges   and   taxes
               incurred by PSI on account of the transaction.

     3.22 The supplying Party or system shall be paid its Out-
          Of-Pocket  Cost of providing the energy, plus  one-
          half of the gross savings remaining after deducting
          all  (b)  and  (c)  payments made under  Subsection
          3.21.   The  receiving Party  or  system  shall  be
          entitled to the other one-half of the gross savings
          remaining after deducting all (b) and (c)  payments
          made under Subsection 3.21.

     Non-Displacement Energy

3.3   Non-Displacement Energy delivered  hereunder  shall  be
settled  for either by the return of equivalent energy  (only
in  the  case where IPL is the supplying Party)  or,  at  the
option of the Party that supplied such energy, by payment  of
an  energy  charge  of up to 110% of the  Out-Of-Pocket  Cost
(such  cost  being  as of the delivery point  or  points,  as
provided  in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the 1992 Agreement,
taking  into  account  electrical losses  incurred  from  the
source  or sources of such energy to said delivery  point  or
points)  to  the supplying Party generating such energy  plus
(the  applicable demand charge rates per this Subsection  are
limited by Subsections 3.7 and 3.8):
     3.31 When IPL is the supplying Party:

          3.31.1   IPL,  at its option, may impose  a  demand
          charge  of  up to 48.6 mills per kilowatt  reserved
          per  hour, but the total demand charge in  any  one
          day  shall  be no more than the product  of  $0.778
          times  the highest amount in kilowatts reserved  in
          any hour during the day.  Or,

          3.31.2   IPL, at its option, may choose  to  supply
          such  energy  without imposing a demand  charge  in
          which  case  no  additional  payment  is  included.
          However, if this option is chosen, the cost of such
          energy will be calculated as 110% of the actual Out-
          Of-Pocket Cost (such cost being as of the  delivery
          point  or  points, as provided in Section  4.01  of
          Article  4  of  the  1992  Agreement,  taking  into
          account electrical losses incurred from the  source
          or sources of such energy to said delivery point or
          points)  to  the  supplying Party  generating  such
          energy.

     3.32  When PSI is the supplying Party by payment of  the
following:

     (1)  For energy generated, the agreed upon demand charge
          rate  of  up to $50 per megawatt-hour (such  charge
          pertains  to  the production component  only),  the
          total demand charge in any one day shall be no more
          than the product of $797 and the greatest amount of
          megawatts reserved in any hour during said day  and
          the  total charge in any one week shall be no  more
          than  the product of $4,781 and the greatest number
          of megawatts reserved in any hour during said week.
          Non-firm transmission service per the provisions of
          the  CINergy Services, Inc., FERC Electric  Tariff,
          Original  Volume  No.  3,  Non-Firm  Point-to-Point
          Transmission Service Standard Tariff - NFT (or  any
          successor  transmission tariff of similar  service)
          must be obtained;

     (2)  For  daily energy which is purchased by PSI from  a
          third  party  for economic reasons to  meet  system
          needs but in subsequent system resources accounting
          calculations  is determined to have  been  used  to
          supply  a Daily Non-Displacement Energy transaction
          and  for which PSI stands by to supply from its own
          resources:  (a) the amount paid by PSI to the third
          party  for  such  energy,  plus  (b)  the  cost  of
          transmission losses, regulatory commission  charges
          and  taxes incurred which would not otherwise  have
          been incurred, plus (c) $1.00 per megawatt-hour for
          difficult-to-quantify energy  related  costs,  and,
          plus  (d) up to $50 per megawatt-hour (such  charge
          pertains  to  the production component  only),  the
          total  charge in any one day shall be no more  than
          the  product  of  $797 and the greatest  number  of
          megawatts reserved in any hour during said day  and
          the  total charge in any one week shall be no  more
          than  the product of $4,781 and the greatest number
          of megawatts reserved in any hour during said week.
          Non-firm transmission service per the provisions of
          the  CINergy Services, Inc., FERC Electric  Tariff,

          successor  transmission tariff of similar  service)
          must be obtained.

     3.33 If  equivalent energy is returned to IPL, it  shall
          be  returned  at times when the load conditions  of
          the  Party receiving it are equivalent to the  load
          conditions of such Party at the time the energy for
          which  it  is  returned was delivered or,  if  such
          Party  elects  to  have equivalent energy  returned
          under different conditions, it shall be returned in
          such  amounts,  to be agreed upon by the  Operating
          Committee, as will compensate for the difference in
          conditions.

3.4   Non-Displacement Energy delivered under Subsection  2.2
above  that is purchased by the supplying Party from  another
interconnected system which is not a signatory  to  the  1992
Agreement  ("Third Party") at the request  of  the  receiving
Party shall be settled for as follows:

3.41 When  IPL  is the supplying Party, by a payment  of  100
     percent of the amount paid to such Third Party,  plus  a
     demand  charge  in an amount to be agreed  upon  by  the
     Parties  at  the time of the reservation of  up  to  3.6
     mills  per  kilowatt reserved per hour,  but  the  total
     demand  charge in any one day shall be no more than  the
     product  of $0.058 times the highest amount in kilowatts
     reserved  in any hour during the day, plus  1  mill  per
     kilowatt-hour  (for difficult to quantify energy-related
     costs),  plus  the cost of any quantifiable transmission
     losses,  taxes, and other expenses incurred  that  would
     not  have been incurred if such transaction had not been
     made.

3.42 When  PSI  is  the  supplying Party:   by  (a)  non-firm
     transmission service per the provisions of  the  CINergy
     Services,  Inc.,  FERC Electric Tariff, Original  Volume
     No.  3,  Non-Firm  Point-to-Point  Transmission  Service
     Standard  Tariff  -  NFT (or any successor  transmission
     tariff  of similar service) must be obtained and (b)  an
     energy  charge  of 100% of the Out-of-Pocket  Cost  paid
     therefor  by  PSI,  plus  $1.00 per  megawatt-hour  (for
     difficult  to quantify energy-related costs),  plus  any
     transmission  losses  resulting on  the  system  of  the
     CINergy   Operating   Companies  on   account   of   the
     transaction, and plus any regulatory commission  charges
     and taxes incurred by PSI on account of the transaction.

3.5   Notwithstanding  the  rates stated  in  Subsection  3.3
above,  when  IPL  is  the supplying Party,  if  the  "demand
charge"  option of Section 3.31.1 is chosen, the sum  of  the
demand and energy charges for each specific reservation  made
pursuant  to  Section 2.2 of this Service  Schedule  B  which
includes a demand charge shall not:
     (1)  exceed the total of:

          (i)  The   product  of  the  number  of   kilowatts
               reserved   for  such  reservation  times   the
               maximum  hourly demand charge specified  above
               in Subsection 3.3; and

          (ii) The  product  of  the number of kilowatt-hours
               sup-plied for such reservation times  110%  of
               the  average cost per kilowatt-hour of  energy
               generated by IPL's Petersburg Unit No.  4  for
               the  last preceding month during which it  was

     (2)  be  less than 100% of the total Out-Of-Pocket  Cost
          of  supplying the Non-Displacement Energy for  such
          reservation.

3.6   Notwithstanding  the  rates stated  in  Subsection  3.3
above, when PSI and CINergy Services are the supplying Party,
the  sum  of the demand and energy charges for each  specific
reservation  made  pursuant to Section 2.2  of  this  Service
Schedule B shall not:

     (1)  exceed the total of:

           (i) The   product  of  the  number  of   megawatts
               reserved   for  such  reservation  times   the
               maximum  hourly demand charge specified  above
               in Subsection 3.3; and plus
          (ii) The  product  of  the number of megawatt-hours
               supplied  for such reservation times  110%  of
               the  average cost per megawatt-hour of  energy
               generated  by the CINergy Operating Companies*
               Zimmer  Unit No. 1 and Gibson Unit No.  5  for
               the preceding month; nor

     (2)  be  less than 100% of the total Out-Of-Pocket  Cost
          of  supplying the Non-Displacement Energy for  such
          reservation.

3.7   The  aggregate instant total capacity of all IPL  sales
under  this and other Service Schedules which are a  part  of
this  and  other IPL Agreements, for which the rates  charged
have been supported on the basis that total revenues will not
exceed the costs of Petersburg Unit No. 4, is limited to  515
MW.

3.8   The  total power of all sales by the CINergy  Operating
Companies   and  CINergy  Services  under  this   and   other
agreements  of  the CINergy Operating Companies  and  CINergy
Services,  for  which  the  agreed  upon  demand  charge   is
determined based on Zimmer Unit No. 1 and Gibson Unit No.  5,
is  limited  to 925 MWs (CINergy Operating Companies*  Zimmer
Unit  No. 1 Net Demonstrated Capability of 612 MWs and Gibson
Unit  No.  5  Net Demonstrated Capability of 313 MWs)  on  an
hourly basis.  For sales in excess of the capacity limitation
of  925  MWs noted above, the rate shall consist of an energy
charge  of  up  to 110% of Out-of-Pocket Cost  and  a  demand
charge  of  up  to  $ 13 per megawatt per hour  (such  charge
pertains to the production component only), the total  charge
in  any one day shall be no more than the product of $209 and
the  greatest number of megawatts reserved in any hour during
said  day  and the total charge in any one week shall  be  no
more  than  the product of $1,252 and the greatest number  of
megawatts  reserved in any hour during said  week.   Non-firm
transmission  service  per  the  provisions  of  the  CINergy
Services, Inc., FERC Electric Tariff, Original Volume No.  3,
Non-Firm Point-to-Point Transmission Service Standard  Tariff
- -  NFT  (or  any  successor transmission  tariff  of  similar
service)  must be obtained; but in no event shall  the  total
revenue  (energy charge and demand charge combined)  be  less
than  100% of the Out-of-Pocket Costs for supplying the  Non-
Displacement  Energy  for such reservation.   Notwithstanding
all  previous Subsections, when power is sold under both this
Subsection and Subsection 3.3 in any month, the total  demand
charge will be the applicable weighted average demand charges
in  this Subsection and Subsection 3.3.  Such weighting  will
be  developed  by adding the number of hours that  power  was
provided  under  this Subsection times the applicable  demand
charge  under  this Subsection and the number of  hours  that
power  was provided under Subsection 3.3 times the applicable
demand  charge in Subsection 3.3, with the sum being  divided
by  the applicable number of hours of the transaction (month,
week, day or hours).

                     SERVICE SCHEDULE C

                SHORT TERM POWER AND ENERGY


SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1   This Service Schedule C, being a part of and under  the
Interconnection Agreement (referred to herein  as  the  "1992
Agreement"),  dated  as  of May 1, 1992,  among  Indianapolis
Power  &  Light  Company (hereinafter called "IPL")  and  PSI
Energy,  Inc.,  formerly  named  Public  Service  Company  of
Indiana,   Inc.  (hereinafter  called  "PSI")   and   CINergy
Services, Inc. (hereinafter called "CINergy Services"), shall
become  effective  as  of the effective  date  of  the  Third
Amendment,  dated  June 30, 1995, to the 1992  Agreement  and
shall continue in effect throughout the duration of the  1992
Agreement.   IPL,  PSI  and CINergy  Services  are  sometimes
hereinafter   referred   to  individually   as   "Party"   or
collectively as "Parties" where appropriate.


SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1   Any  Party,  by  giving the other Parties  notice,  may
reserve  from  the other Parties (a) electric power  ("Weekly
Short  Term Power") for periods of one or more weeks  or  (b)
electric power ("Daily Short Term Power") for periods of  one
or more days whenever the Party requested to reserve the same
is  willing  to  make such power available.   Under  ordinary
circumstances such reservation shall extend for not less than
a  calendar week if it begins with Sunday or for the  balance
of  the calendar week if it begins with any day subsequent to
Sunday; however, under unusual circumstances, the Parties may
mutually  agree upon a reservation of Daily or  Weekly  Short
Term  Power  for a lesser number of days.  In all  cases  the
Party  asked to supply Daily or Weekly Short Term Power shall
be  the sole judge as to the amounts and periods that it  has
electric  power  available that may be  reserved  by  another
Party  as Short Term Power.  A transaction made by any  Party
under  this Service Schedule C shall not extend beyond twelve
(12) months.

     2.11  Prior to each reservation of Weekly or Daily Short
Term  Power,  the  number of megawatts to  be  reserved,  the
period of the reservation, the terms of such reservation, and
the  source of such power if the supplying Party is  in  turn
reserving such power from another interconnected system which
is  not  a  signatory to the 1992 Agreement ("Third  Party"),
shall  be determined by the Parties.  Such reservation  shall
be  confirmed  in writing at the request of  any  Party.   If
during  such period the conditions arise that could not  have
been  reasonably foreseen at the time of the reservation  and
cause  the  reservation  to be burdensome  to  the  supplying
Party,  such Party may by oral notice to the reserving Party,
such  oral  notice  to  be  later  confirmed  in  writing  if
requested  by  any  Party,  reduce the  number  of  megawatts
reserved by such amount and for such time as it shall specify
in  such  notice, but kilowatts reserved hereunder  that  the
supplying  Party is in turn reserving from a Third Party  may
be  reduced only to the extent they are reduced by such Third
Party.

     2.12  During each period that Weekly or Daily Short Term
     Power  has  been reserved, the Party that has agreed  to
     supply such power shall upon call by the reserving Party
     deliver  associated electric energy  ("Weekly  or  Daily
     Short  Term Energy") to the reserving Party  as  of  the
     interconnection point or points, as provided in  Section
     4.01 of Article 4 of the 1992 Agreement at a rate during
     each hour of up to and including the number of megawatts
     reserved.

          charge    pertains    to   the    reservation    of
          transmission).   In the event the  amount  of  such
          Daily  Short-Term Power and Energy  is  reduced  by
          IPL, said demand charge shall be reduced by the sum
          of (i) one-sixteenth (1/16) of the said agreed upon
          daily  rate per kilowatt of the reduction for  each
          hour  in any day during which such reduction is  in
          effect,  such  reduction not to exceed  the  agreed
          upon  demand  charge for such  day,  and  (ii)  the
          reduction, if any, in the demand charge paid by IPL
          to the Third Party;

          (2)  for each kilowatt-hour purchased by IPL from a
          Third  Party  to  supply  Daily  Short-Term  Energy
          delivered  during such period, an energy charge  of
          100%  of  the  Out-of-Pocket Cost paid therefor  by
          IPL,  plus  one  (1)  mill per  kilowatt-hour  (for
          difficult  to quantify energy-related costs),  plus
          any  transmission losses resulting on IPL*s  system
          on  account of the transaction, and plus any  taxes
          incurred by IPL on account of the transaction;
     (c)  when PSI is the supplying Party:

          (1)    Non-firm   transmission  service   per   the
          provisions  of  the  CINergy Services,  Inc.,  FERC
          Electric  Tariff, Original Volume No.  3,  Non-Firm
          Transmission Service Standard Tariff - NFT (or  any
          successor  transmission tariff of similar  service)
          must  be obtained. In the event the amount of  such
          Daily  Short-Term Power and Energy  is  reduced  by
          PSI, said demand charge shall be reduced by the sum
          of (i) one-sixteenth (1/16) of the said agreed upon
          daily  rate per megawatt of the reduction for  each
          hour in any day during which any such reduction  is
          in  effect, such reduction not to exceed the agreed
          upon  demand  charge for such  day,  and  (ii)  the
          reduction, if any in the demand charge paid by  PSI
          to the Third Party;
          (2)  for each megawatt-hour purchased by PSI from a
          Third  Party  to  supply  Daily  Short-Term  Energy
          delivered  during such period, an energy charge  of
          100%  of  the  Out-of-Pocket Cost paid therefor  by
          PSI, plus $1.00 per megawatt-hour (for difficult to
          quantify    energy-related   costs),    plus    any
          transmission losses resulting on the system of  the
          CINergy  Operating  Companies  on  account  of  the
          transaction,  and  plus  any regulatory  commission
          charges and taxes incurred by PSI on account of the
          transaction.

3.3   Notwithstanding  the rates stated  in  the  Subsections
3.1.1,  3.1.3,  3.2.1  and  3.2.3  above,  when  IPL  is  the
supplying Party, the sum of the demand and energy charges for
each  specific reservation made pursuant to Section 2 of this
Service Schedule C shall not:

     (1)  exceed the total of:

            (i)   the  product  of  the number  of  kilowatts
          reserved  for  such reservation times  the  maximum
          Weekly   or  Daily  demand  charge,  whichever   is
          applicable,  specified above in Subsections  3.1.1,
          3.1.3, 3.2.1 and 3.2.3, as appropriate; and

          (ii)   the  product of the number of kilowatt-hours
          supplied  for such reservation times  110%  of  the
          average  cost per kilowatt-hour of energy generated
          by  IPL's  Petersburg  Unit  No.  4  for  the  last
          preceding month during which it was run; or

     (2)   be less than 110% of the total Out-Of-Pocket  Cost
     of supplying the Short Term Energy for such reservation.

3.4   Notwithstanding the rates stated in Subsections  3.1.2,
3.1.3,  3.2.2 and 3.2.3 above, when PSI and CINergy  Services
are  the  supplying Party, the sum of the demand  and  energy
charges  for  each  specific  reservation  made  pursuant  to
Section 2 of this Service Schedule C shall not:

     (1)  exceed the total of:

          (i) the product of the number of megawatts reserved
          for  such  reservation times the maximum Weekly  or
          Daily   demand  charge,  whichever  is  applicable,
          specified above in Subsections 3.1.2, 3.1.3,  3.2.2
          and 3.2.3, as appropriate, and plus

          (ii)  the  product of the number of  megawatt-hours
          supplied  for such reservation times  110%  of  the
          average  cost per megawatt-hour of energy generated
          by the CINergy Operating Companies* Zimmer Unit No.
          1  and  Gibson Unit No. 5 for the preceding  month;
          nor

     (2)   be  less than 100% of the Out-Of-Pocket  Costs  of
     supplying the Short Term Energy for such reservation.

3.5   The  aggregate instant total capacity of all IPL  sales
under  this and other Service Schedules which are a  part  of
this  and  other IPL Agreements, for which the rates  charged
have been supported on the basis that total revenues will not
exceed  the  costs of Petersburg Unit No. 4,  is  limited  to
515MW.

3.6   The  total power of all sales by the CINergy  Operating
Companies   and  CINergy  Services  under  this   and   other
agreements  of  the CINergy Operating Companies  and  CINergy
Services,  for  which  the  agreed  upon  demand  charge   is
determined based on Zimmer Unit No. 1 and Gibson Unit No.  5,
is  limited  to 925 MWs (CINergy Operating Companies*  Zimmer
Unit  No. 1 Net Demonstrated Capability of 612 MWs and Gibson
Unit  No.  5  Net Demonstrated Capability of 313 MWs)  on  an
hourly basis.  For sales in excess of the power limitation of
925  MWs  noted above, the rate shall consist  of  an  energy
charge  of  up  to 110% of Out-of-Pocket Cost  and  a  demand
charge  of  up to $1,252 per megawatt per week  or  a  demand
charge  of up to $209 per megawatt per day, the total  charge
in  any  one week shall be no more than the product of $1,252
and  the  greatest number of megawatts reserved in  any  hour
during  said  week  (such charge pertains to  the  production
component  only).   Non-firm  transmission  service  per  the
provisions  of  the  CINergy Services,  Inc.,  FERC  Electric
Tariff,   Original  Volume  No.  3,  Non-Firm  Point-to-Point
Transmission Service Standard Tariff - NFT (or any  successor
transmission tariff of similar service) must be obtained; but
in no event shall the total revenue (energy charge and demand
charge combined) be less than 100% of the Out-of-Pocket Costs
of  supplying  the  Short-Term Energy for  such  reservation.
Notwithstanding all previous Subsections, when power is  sold
under  both this Subsection and Subsection 3.1.2 in any week,
the  total demand charge will be the weighted average  demand
charges  in  this  Subsection  and  Subsection  3.1.2.   Such
weighting  will  be developed by adding the number  of  hours
that  power  was  provided under this  Subsection  times  the
demand  charge under this Subsection and the number of  hours
that  power  was  provided under Subsection 3.1.2  times  the
demand  charge  in  Subsection 3.1.2,  with  such  sum  being
divided by the total number of hours in the week.  Also, when
power is sold under both this Subsection and Subsection 3.2.2
in  any  day,  the total demand charge will be  the  weighted
average  demand  charges  in this Subsection  and  Subsection
3.2.2.  Such weighting will be developed by adding the number
of  hours that power was provided under this Subsection times
the  demand  charge under this Subsection and the  number  of
hours  that  power was provided under Subsection 3.2.2  times
the  demand charge in Subsection 3.2.2, with such  sum  being
divided by the total number of hours in the day.

               (SECOND REVISION)

                     SERVICE SCHEDULE D

   CARMEL SOUTHEAST TAP NETWORK POWER AND ENERGY TRANSFER


SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1   This  Service Schedule, being a part of and  under  the
Interconnection Agreement (referred to herein  as  the  "1992
Agreement")  dated  as  of May 1, 1992  between  Indianapolis
Power  &  Light  Company (hereinafter called "IPL")  and  PSI
Energy,  Inc.,  formerly  named  Public  Service  Company  of
Indiana,   Inc.,  (hereinafter  called  "PSI")  and   CINergy
Services, Inc. (hereinafter called "CINergy Services"), shall
become  effective as of the earlier date of either  September
1,  1995 or the effective date of the Third Amendment,  dated
June  30,  1995, and shall continue in effect through  August
31,  1996,  unless extended as provided in Section 6  hereof.
IPL,  PSI  and  CINergy  Services are  sometimes  hereinafter
referred  to  individually  as  "Party"  or  collectively  as
"Parties" where appropriate.


SECTION 2 - FACILITIES TO BE PROVIDED

2.1  PSI shall provide, install, operate and maintain, at its
own  expense, during the term of this Service Schedule  D  as
defined in Section 6 hereof, the following facilities:
     (i)  At its Carmel Southeast Substation - a 138,000 volt
three-phase  interrupting device, a  24/40  MVA  transformer,
12,470  volt  metering  equipment,  relaying,  switching,   a
supervisory  control  remote terminal unit,  a  communication
circuit  from  the  supervisory unit to IPL*s  Load  Dispatch
Office  and  appurtenant equipment, all  of  which  shall  be
subject  to  the  prior  approval  of  IPL.   PSI  shall   be
responsible  for  installing,  owning  and  maintaining   all
necessary  protection equipment required by  IPL  to  protect
IPL*s  facilities associated with Carmel Tap.   PSI*s  remote
terminal  unit shall provide data acquisition, remote  status
and  control of the load and allow PSI to provide  real  time
dispatch  of their generation to their load as well  as  load
control  while IPL will be provided real time breaker  status
and load data.
     (ii) A  138,000  volt  transmission line extending  from
          Carmel  Southeast Substation to Transmission  Tower
          Number  7 (Map Section 173A) on IPL's 138,000  volt
          North-River   Road   (132-57)  transmission   line,
          together with a 138,000 volt tap at such tower,  to
          be known as the Carmel Tap Point.

2.2   IPL  shall provide, install, operate and  maintain,  as
direct  assignment facilities at the sole benefit and expense
of PSI, during the term of the Carmel Tap Point as defined in
Section 6 hereof, a 138,000 volt two-way switching point with
supervisory   controlled  138,000  volt   line   interrupting
disconnect  switches  and associated  facilities  such  as  a
switch  tower,  supervisory terminal unit  and  communication
circuit at the Carmel Tap Point.


SECTION 3 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

3.1   The Parties hereto mutually agree that their respective
radial  distribution systems will not be operated in parallel
through  the  Carmel Tap Point.  Electric energy supplied  by
IPL  to  PSI  at  the  Carmel Tap Point will  be  treated  as
capacity  and  energy simultaneously transferred  into  IPL's
system by PSI through the other interconnection points of the
Parties  and  will  be  used  only  to  supply  the  ultimate
consumers  of PSI who are or may be served from PSI's  Carmel
Southeast  Substation.  Any capacity or energy  delivered  by
IPL   to   PSI  through  the  Carmel  Tap  Point   shall   be
simultaneously  supplied by PSI to IPL  through  any  of  the
interconnection points of the Parties.  PSI*s supplied energy
shall include an adder of approximately 3%-5% to the capacity
and  energy  delivered to the Carmel Tap by IPL to compensate
IPL  for capacity and energy losses occurring on IPL*s system
and  PSI*s  tapped  transmission line  and  transformer  bank
(metered at secondary voltage) due to the transfer of  energy
to the Carmel Tap Point.

3.2  IPL shall provide PSI with the following services:

     1)   Firm,  network  transmission  service  including  a
          capacity reservation (34,500 volt, 138,000 volt and
          above) of up to and including 20 MW*s (measured  at
          the other IPL/PSI interconnection points as defined
          in   the   1992   Agreement).  Said   service   and
          reservation  shall be planned for and  provided  on
          the  same basis as IPL*s firm native load customers
          only  during  the term of this service schedule  as
          set forth in Section 6 herein of this Agreement.

     2)   Non-firm transmission service (34,500 volt, 138,000
          volt  and  above)  up  to  and  including  30  MW*s
          (measured  at  the  other  IPL/PSI  interconnection
          points  in the 1992 Agreement) in addition  to  the
          firm  transmission listed in Point 1  above.   Said
          non-firm  service  shall be  on  an  as  available,
          interruptible basis when requested by PSI.

Upon  IPL*s  request,  PSI shall immediately  curtail  and/or
interrupt  its  firm load served by the 20  MW  firm  network
transmission  and reservation service on the  same  basis  as
IPL*s  firm  native load customers.  If PSI*s demand  exceeds
their  reservation (herein called "excess loading") PSI shall
demonstrate  that all such demand exceeding their reservation
is  1) immediately interruptible by contract or 2) that  such
excess  loading  occurred due to emergency switching  lasting
less  than  a  total  of two (2) weeks within  any  six-month
period.   Otherwise such excess loading shall be  treated  as
having automatically increased PSI*s reservation, for billing
purposes  only, until IPL is satisfied PSI has taken  actions
to  permanently  eliminate such excess  loading.   IPL  shall
coordinate  non-emergency maintenance outages  with  PSI  and
provide  a  minimum notification by 12:00  noon  of  the  day
before the scheduled outage.

3.3   IPL  and  PSI  shall periodically  conduct  independent
and/or  joint  studies of their future systems to  serve  the
Indianapolis northeast metropolitan area.  PSI shall annually
update and provide IPL with their ten year demand projections
for  the Carmel Tap Point.  If such studies indicate problems
due  to  PSI*s  20  MW reservation or projected  increase  in
reservation, then IPL and PSI shall jointly or independently,
as  soon as practicable, develop plans and estimates of  cost
for   the   installation  of  any  additional  equipment   or
facilities necessary to effect a long term solution  to  such
problem  so  that  transmission  services  hereunder  may  be
reliably continued in accordance with IPL standards.

IPL*s studies of this service cover the first five years  and
identified facilities during that period which may need to be
upgraded   if   area  demand  grows  faster  than   presently
projected.  If facility upgrades are required, PSI shall  pay
annual  carrying  costs on a monthly basis  during  the  time
period from the in-service date of the facilities until IPL*s
area  load increases by the amount of PSI*s 20 MW reservation
plus  actual  and projected increases in reservation  (herein
called  "period  of advancement") after which  the  remaining
costs  shall  be rolled into IPL*s rate analysis.   Any  time
PSI*s  reservation, as determined under 3.2  above,  requires
IPL  to install facilities in advance of its need, PSI  shall
pay annual carrying cost on such facilities during the period
of  advancement.  Increased reservations beyond 20 MWs  shall
be treated as interruptible until all necessary facilities to
reliably accommodate these loads are placed in service.   IPL
will not increase or upgrade the capacity of its existing  or
planned  transmission facilities in order to provide  service
under this Agreement if doing so would unduly 1) impair IPL*s
system  reliability or 2) jeopardize the benefits of  service
or  3)  increase  the cost of service to  IPL*s  Native  Load
Customers  and other customers to whom IPL has a pre-existing
contractual obligation.

In  the  event PSI does not elect to continue its reservation
after the term of this Service Schedule, PSI shall pay 1) the
stranded cost of all IPL*s facilities directly assignable  to
providing  firm  service  for PSI*s reservation  and  2)  the
remaining  annual  cost  on a monthly  basis  of  all  system
improvements from the termination date until IPL*s area  load
increase  equals  the  amount of PSI*s reservation.   In  the
event  IPL  can*t  obtain regulatory approvals  for  facility
modifications  needed  to increases PSI*s  reservation,  then
firm  service  shall not be provided for the  amount  of  the
increased service reservation.

3.4  PSI shall provide for ancillary services such as dynamic
reactive  var/voltage support, all generation reserves,  real
time generation dispatch, load following and dispatch control
services  needed to support the operation of the  Carmel  Tap
Point.

3.5   IPL  shall file with the FERC an amendment  to  Service
Schedule D for all direct assignment facilities (not  covered
in  Section  2.2) to be provided for PSI by  IPL  under  this
Service  Schedule  and  for  all costs  for  advanced  system
improvements during the "period of advancement"  due  to  the
PSI  transmission reservation provided under Service Schedule
D.   FERC*s failure to accept the cost assignments for either
direct   assignment   facilities   and/or   advanced   system
improvements due to the PSI network load service provided  in
this  Service  Schedule D shall result in 1) IPL  terminating
its  obligation  to  provide and plan for PSI*s  transmission
reservation as covered in Section 3.2 and Section  3.3  above
or  2)  PSI may elect to reduce the level and/or firmness  of
PSI*s  transmission  reservation so  that  additional  direct
assignment  facilities  and/or  system  improvement  facility
advancements won*t be needed or 3) PSI may elect to terminate
service provided hereunder provided that upon termination  of
this  Service Schedule D by PSI, PSI shall remain responsible
for  paying IPL all costs remaining for all direct assignment
facilities  provided by IPL and all remaining costs  for  all
advanced  system improvements attributed to  PSI  during  the
period  of advancement where said facilities have been  filed
with and accepted by the FERC including the direct assignment
facilities  provided  initially  under  Section   2.2.    The
stranded  cost  of the direct assignment facilities  provided
under  Section 2.2 shall be calculated and marked up for  tax
effects  as  shown in Attachment 1 and shall be paid  by  PSI
within 30 days of receipt of the bill from IPL.
SECTION 4 - DEVIATIONS IN DELIVERIES AT CARMEL TAP POINT

4.1   The  Parties agree that with respect to the Carmel  Tap
Point, PSI shall simultaneously supply (including adjustments
for  losses)  to IPL from PSI*s other interconnection  points
with  IPL  the capacity and energy delivered to PSI  by  IPL.
The  Parties  recognize,  however, that  despite  their  best
efforts  to  simultaneously supply and deliver  capacity  and
energy  (including adjustments for losses) deviations between
actual  and  scheduled energy transfers may occur.   Electric
energy resulting from such deviations shall, at the option of
IPL, be settled for either by return of equivalent energy  or
by  payment of Out-Of-Pocket Costs. If equivalent  energy  is
returned,  it shall be returned at times when the  generating
costs of IPL are equivalent to the generating costs of IPL at
the  time  of  the  deviations or,  if  IPL  elects  to  have
equivalent  energy  returned under different  conditions,  it
shall  be  returned  in such amounts, to be  mutually  agreed
upon,   as   will  compensate  IPL  for  the  difference   in
conditions.

IPL,  at its option, may elect to bill for such Out-Of-Pocket
Costs, plus ten percent of such cost, for any energy supplied
over  and  above that scheduled by PSI for any hour or  hours
during the billing period.  Such costs shall be determined at
the Carmel Tap Point by taking into account electrical losses
incurred  from the source or sources of such energy  to  said
Tap Point.

4.2   If IPL elects to bill for any energy supplied over  and
above that scheduled by PSI for any hour or hours during  the
billing period where the energy was supplied by a Third Party
then  in accordance with the FERC Order 84 the maximum amount
to  be  billed by IPL to PSI shall be 100% of the Third Party
demand  and  energy charge plus 1 mill/kwhr (the 1  mill/kwhr
adder  is applicable only to transactions with a duration  of
less  than one year) plus IPL*s network transmission rate  as
accepted by the FERC under this Service Schedule D.


SECTION 5 - COMPENSATION

5.1   FIRM  SERVICE  - Electric power measured  in  kilowatts
supplied  by PSI and delivered at the Carmel Tap Point  under
the 1992 Agreement by IPL to PSI shall be billed on a monthly
basis the annual cost of IPL*s transmission system multiplied
by  the  ratio  of the sum of PSI*s twelve 20 MW reservations
divided  by  IPL*s  annual system peak  demand  which  equals
$283,200  annually as calculated in the cost support Appendix
A.   The loss factors consisting of a 3-5% adder, as noted in
Section  3.1  hereof, shall include PSI*s radial transmission
line  and  transformer bank associated with  the  Carmel  Tap
Point  and  IPL*s 34,500 volt and above transmission  system.
The loss factors shall include PSI*s radial transmission line
and transformer bank associated with the Carmel Tap Point and
IPL*s  transmission  system.   The  loss  factors  shall   be
determined  by  the annual transmission system  loss  studies
performed  by  IPL  and  PSI.   Also,  increases   in   PSI*s
reservation shall be billed by using the same methodology.
5.2   NON-FIRM SERVICE - Electric power measured in kilowatts
supplied  by PSI and delivered at the Carmel Tap Point  under
the 1992 Agreement by IPL to PSI shall be billed at $1.18 per
kilowatt-month plus $0.01 per kilowatt-month for IPL dispatch
control.  This demand charge for non-firm service applies  to
usage above PSI*s firm service reservation and shall be based
upon  the  difference in maximum hourly demand  in  kilowatts
measured  and the amount of PSI*s reservation in the calendar
month  of  billing.  The loss factors consisting  of  a  3-5%
adder,  as  noted in Section 3.1 hereof, shall include  PSI*s
radial transmission line and transformer bank associated with
the  Carmel  Tap  Point  and  IPL*s  34,500  volt  and  above
transmission system.  The loss factors shall be determined by
the  annual transmission system loss studies performed by IPL
and PSI.

5.3   DIRECT ASSIGNMENT FACILITIES - PSI shall pay IPL  on  a
monthly  basis  IPL*s annual charges on the  total  installed
cost   of  the  facilities  provided  in  Section  2.2  above
multiplied by IPL*s annual carrying charges as calculated  in
Attachment 1 and revisions will be filed with the FERC.


SECTION 6 - TERM OF AGREEMENT

6.1   This  Service Schedule shall terminate August 31,  1996
unless PSI notifies IPL at least six (6) months prior to such
termination date that it desires to continue service  to  the
Carmel  Tap  Point;  provided  however,  that  any  continued
service  is  subject  to  such terms and  conditions  as  are
mutually agreed to by the Parties.

Dear Ron:

This letter seeks to extend our existing agreement regarding
transmission service IPL provides PSI Energy at the Carmel
Southeast Tap, which expires August 31.  IPL proposes to
extend Service Schedule D (Carmel Southeast Tap Network Power
and Energy Transfer), a part of the existing interconnection
agreement between IPL and Cinergy, dated June 30, 1995, by
one year, to and including August 31, 1998.

Please confirm by signature below, Cinergy's agreement that
the existing Service Schedule D, under which IPL currently
provides service to PSI Energy at the Carmel Southeast Tap,
will be extended by one year to and including August 31,
1998, with the same rates, terms and conditions.  Further,
Cinergy and IPL agree that PSI Energy also has the option to
take transmission service for the Carmel Southeast Tap under
any open access transmission tariffs that may be filed by IPL
and which become effective after the date of this letter
agreement.

Three original copies of this letter are provided for your
signature.  Please return one signed original copy to me and
retain one copy for your files.

     maintain its facilities in proper and serviceable
     condition, and shall take reasonable steps and
     precautions for maintaining the services agreed to
     be provided and received under the 1992 Agreement.
     Each Party shall be responsible for its own
     compliance with all applicable environmental
     regulations and shall bear all costs arising from
     its failure to comply with such environmental
     regulations."


2.01 This Sixth Amendment shall be effective as of February

                        PSI ENERGY, INC.
                   AND CINERGY SERVICES, INC.


     Pursuant to Order No. 888, Indianapolis Power & Light
Company (IPL) restates the rates for service provided by IPL
under the Interconnection Agreement as the following:

1)   The Interconnection Agreement provides for IPL sales of
capacity and energy under service schedules described as:

          Service Schedule A - Emergency Service
          Service Schedule B - Interchange Energy
          Service Schedule C - Short Term Power and Energy

2)   The wholesale generation component of the rate applicable to
service under these Service Schedules A through D shall be the
bundled rate minus the transmission and ancillary service rates
provided in Section 3 of this Amendment.

     Where the Service Schedules provide for compensation to IPL
in the form of equivalent energy, such return of equivalent
energy shall be made of the generation component, with the
transmission and ancillary services related to such return of
equivalent energy arranged pursuant to and assessed as provided
in Section 3 of this Amendment.

3)   Transmission and ancillary services necessary to effectuate
sales under the Interconnection Agreement shall be arranged by
IPL under and subject to the rates, terms, and conditions of
IPL's Open Access Transmission Tariff.  The rates for point-to-
point transmission service and the two ancillary services
necessary to effectuate such sales are provided below.  IPL will
provide either Short-Term Firm Point-to-Point or Non-Firm Point-
to-Point transmission service and ancillary services for
Scheduling, System Control and Dispatch (Scheduling Service), and
Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation Sources
(Reactive Supply Service).  IPL will not provide Regulation and
Frequency Response Service, Energy Imbalance Service, Operating
Reserve-Spinning Reserve Service, or Operating Reserve-
Supplemental Reserve Service in connection with sales under the
Interconnection Agreement, and there will be no charge for such
services in connection with the sales under the Interconnection
Agreement.

     The rates for both Short-Term Firm and Non-Firm Point-to-
Point Service are:  $ 930.00/MW of reserved capacity for monthly
service, $215.00/MW of reserved capacity for weekly service,
$43.00/MW of reserved capacity for on-peak daily service, and
$30.70/MW of reserved capacity for off-peak daily service, with
the daily service capacity charges capped at the weekly rates.
Non-Firm Point-to-Point service is available on an hourly basis
at $2.69/MW for on-peak hours and $1.28/MWH for off-peak hours
with the maximum hourly charges capped at the daily rates.

     For Scheduling Service, the monthly rate is $10.00/MW of
reservation, the weekly rate is $3.00/MW, the daily rate is
$0.60/MW, and the hourly rate is $0.04/MWH.  The sum of the
hourly charges is capped at the daily rate, the sum of the daily
charges is capped at the weekly rate, and the sum of the weekly
charges is capped at the monthly rate.

     For Reactive Supply Service, the monthly rate is $110.00/MW
of reservation, the weekly rate is $25.00/MW, the daily rate is
$5.00/MW, and the hourly rate is $0.31/MWH.  The sum of the
hourly charges is capped at the daily rate, the sum of the daily
charges is capped at the weekly rate, and the sum of the weekly
charges is capped at the monthly rate.

     If transmission and ancillary services are obtained by PSI
Energy and Cinergy Serivces, Inc. under Indianapolis Power &
Light Company's Open Access Transmission Tariff, there will be no
charge related to transmission and ancillary service assessed
under the Interconnection Agreement.  A service agreement under
Indianapolis Power & Light Company's Open Access Transmission
Tariff is on file as of the effective date of this Ninth
Amendment to govern service to PSI Energy and Cinergy Serivces,
Inc. for this power sale, and charges for transmission and
ancillary services for this power sale will be assessed to PSI
Energy and Cinergy Serivces, Inc. under the Open Access
Transmission Tariff.

    2.02  Inasmuch as the specific services to be

rendered in furtherance of such purpose will vary from

time to time while this agreement is in effect, and the

terms and conditions applicable to such services may

require modification from time to time, it is intended

that such specific services and the terms and conditions

applicable thereto will be set forth in service schedules

mutually agreed upon from time to time between the

parties.  Such service schedules, until and unless

changed by such mutual agreement, shall be those provided

by Section 2.03 hereof.  Each such service schedule,

while in effect, shall be deemed a part of this

agreement.

    2.03  The respective service schedules designated:

                       ARTICLE 3

                   SERVICE CONDITIONS

Control of System Disturbance

    3.01  The parties hereto shall maintain and operate

their respective systems so as to minimize, in accordance

with sound operating practice, the likelihood of

disturbance originating in either system which might

cause impairment to the service of the system of the

other party or of any system interconnected with the

system of the other party.

Control of Kilovar Exchange

    3.02  It is intended that neither party hereto shall

be obligated to deliver kilovars for the benefit of the

other party; also that neither party shall be obligated

to receive kilovars when to do so may introduce

objectionable operating conditions on its system.  The

Operating Committee shall be responsible for the

establishment from time to time of operating procedures

and schedules, in respect of carrying kilovar loads by

one system for the other in order to secure adequate

service and economical use of the facilities of both

systems and in respect of proper charges, if any, for the

use of facilities carrying kilovar loads.  In discharging

such duties the Operating Committee shall recognize that

in the transmission and delivery of power and energy

hereunder the carrying of kilovar loads by either of the

parties, in harmony with sound engineering principles of

transmission operation with their systems interconnected,

is subject to numerous variables contingent upon loading

and operating conditions existing simultaneously on both

of their systems.  The operating procedures and schedules

so set up by the Operating Committee shall be in accord

with such principles and shall require each of the

parties to carry kilovar loads at such times and in such

amounts as will be equitable to both parties.

Control of Unscheduled Power Deliveries

    3.03  The parties hereto shall exercise reasonable

foresight in carrying out all matters related to the

providing and operating of their respective electric

power resources so as to minimize to the extent

practicable deviations between actual and scheduled

deliveries of electric power and energy between their

systems.  The parties shall provide and install on their

respective systems such communication and telemetering

facilities as are essential to so minimizing such

deviations; and, in developing and executing operating

procedures that will enable the parties to avoid, to the

extent practicable, deviations from scheduled deliveries,

shall fully cooperate with each other and with third

parties whose systems are either directly or indirectly

interconnected with the systems of the parties and who of

necessity, together with the parties, must unify their

efforts cooperatively to achieve effective and efficient

interconnected operation.  The parties recognize,

however, that, despite their best efforts to prevent the

same, unscheduled deliveries of electric energy from one

party to the other may occur.  Electric energy delivered

hereunder in such event shall be settled for either by

the return of equivalent energy or by payment of the

out-of-pocket cost (such cost being as of the delivery

point or points, as provided for in Section 4.01 of this

agreement, taking into account electrical losses incurred

from the source or sources of such energy to said

delivery point or points) to the supplying party of

generating or acquiring such energy plus ten per cent of

such cost.  If equivalent energy is returned, it shall be

returned at times when the load conditions of the party

receiving it are equivalent to the load conditions of

such party at the time the energy for which it is

returned was delivered or, if such party elects to have

equivalent energy returned under different conditions, it

shall be returned in such amounts, to be agreed upon by

the Operating Committee, as will compensate for the

difference in conditions.

                       ARTICLE 4

               DELIVERY POINTS, METERING

all meters having such devices shall be maintained in

time synchronism as closely as practicable.  The meters

shall be sealed and the seals shall be broken only upon

occasions when the meters are to be tested or adjusted.

For the purpose of checking the records of the metering

equipment installed by one of the parties hereto as

hereinabove provided, the other party hereto shall have

the right to install check metering equipment at the

aforesaid metering points.  Check metering equipment so

installed by one party on the premises of another party,

unless otherwise provided for in this agreement, shall be

owned and maintained by the party installing such

equipment.  Upon termination of this agreement the party

owning such check metering equipment shall remove it from

the premises of the other party.  Authorized

representatives of both parties shall have access at all

reasonable hours to the premises where the meters are

located and to the records made by the meters.

    4.05  The aforesaid metering equipment shall be

tested by the owner at suitable intervals and its

accuracy of registration maintained in accordance with

good practice.  On request of either party hereto, a

special test may be made at the expense of the party

requesting such special test.  Representatives of both

parties shall be afforded opportunity to be present at

all routine or special tests and upon occasions when any

readings for purposes of settlements hereunder are taken

from meters not bearing an automatic record.

    4.06  If, at any test of metering equipment an

inaccuracy shall be disclosed exceeding two percent, the

account between the parties hereto for service

theretofore delivered shall be adjusted to correct for

the inaccuracy over the shorter of the following two

periods:  (1) for the thirty-day period immediately

preceding the day of the test or (2) for the period that

such inaccuracy may be determined to have existed.

Should the metering equipment as provided for under

Section 4.03 hereof at any time fail to register, the

electric power and energy delivered shall be determined

from the check meters, if installed, or otherwise shall

be determined from the best available data.

    5.01  In addition to records of the metering

provided for in Article 4 hereof, the parties hereto

shall keep in duplicate such other records as may be

needed to afford a clear history of the various

deliveries of electric energy made by one party to the

other, and of the clock-hour integrated demands in

kilowatt-hours delivered by one party to the other.  In

maintaining such records, the parties shall effect such

segregations and allocations of demands and electric

energy delivered into classes representing the various

services and conditions as may be needed in connection

with settlements under this agreement.  The originals of

all such records shall be retained by the party keeping

the records and the duplicates shall be delivered monthly

to the other party except as the parties may agree upon a

different time interval for such delivery.

Statements

    5.02  As promptly as practicable after the end of

each calendar month, the parties hereto shall cause to be

prepared a statement setting forth the electric power and

energy transactions between them during such month in

on its system prior to and within forty-eight hours of

that of the other party hereto and that, if requested by

said other party, such delivery of electric energy to

said interconnected company shall be discontinued within

forty-eight hours following the start of such delivery,

and a subsequent delivery shall be made for a full forty-

eight hour period to said other party in accordance with

the provisions of said subsection 2.1.

    2.3  If at any time the record over a reasonable

prior period shows clearly that either of the parties has

failed to deliver energy in accordance with and subject

to the provisions of subsection 2.1 and subsection 2.2 of

this Section 2, either party, by written notice given to

the other party, may call for a joint study by the

parties of the reserve generating capacity in and

provided for their respective systems and of their

respective system transmission facilities affecting the

supply and delivery of power and energy under the

Agreement.  It shall be the purpose of such study to

determine the adequacy or inadequacy of reserve

generating capacity and transmission facilities being

provided to meet the requirements of the parties'

respective systems, reflecting obligations under the

Agreement, and, if inadequate, the extent of the burden

that one party may be placing upon the other.  If it

should be found that one party is placing an unreasonable

burden upon the other, the party causing such burden

shall take such measures as are necessary to remove the

burden from the other party, or the parties shall enter

into such arrangements as shall provide for equitable

compensation to the party being burdened.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

    3.1  Electric energy delivered under Section 2 above

shall be settled for either by the return of equivalent

energy or, at the option of the party that supplied such

energy, by payment of the out-of-pocket cost (such cost

being as of the delivery point or points, as provided in

Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the Agreement, taking into

account electrical losses incurred from the source or

sources of such energy to said delivery point or points)

to the supplying party of generating or supplying such

energy plus ten percent of such cost.  If equivalent

energy is returned, it shall be returned at times when

the load conditions of the party receiving it are

equivalent to the load conditions of such party at the

time the energy for which it is returned was delivered

or, if such party elects to have equivalent energy

returned under different conditions, it shall be returned

in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the Operating

Committee, as will compensate for the difference in

conditions.

                                                       Exhibit II

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE B

                    ENERGY TRANSFER

              Under Agreement, dated as of

                December 2, 1968 between

         Indianapolis Power & Light Company and

       Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company

SECTION 1 - DURATION

    1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

agreement (referred to in this Schedule as the Agreement)

dated as of December 2, 1968, between Indianapolis Power

& Light Company (Indianapolis Company) and Southern

Indiana Gas and Electric Company (Southern Indiana

Company) shall become effective on the Interconnection

Date as defined in Section 9.01 of Article 9 of the

Agreement and shall continue in effect until termination

of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT

    2.1  In carrying out the interconnected operation of

their respective systems as provided for under the

Agreement, energy being received by a portion of one

party's system from another portion of its system or from

the system of another interconnected company, or energy

being delivered by a portion of one party's system to

another portion of its system or to the system of another

interconnected company, may flow over the transmission

facilities of the other party as a natural result of the

physical and electrical characteristics of the

interconnected network of transmission lines of which the

transmission systems of the parties are a part.  Such

flow of energy may occur during periods when conditions

of system operation are normal or may occur during

periods of emergency caused by the failure of either

sources of power or transmission facilities, or both.  In

respect to such flow of energy (hereinafter called

"energy transfer") the parties agree as follows; viz.:

       2.11  Such energy transfer over their respective

    transmission facilities shall be permitted when such

    transfer occurs; subject, however, to the

    understanding that such energy transfer shall not be

    of such magnitude or duration as to affect adversely

    or jeopardize the ability of the party over whose

    system such energy transfer occurs to render proper

    service to its customers, and to render or accept

    service to or from companies with which it now has

    or at any time hereafter it may have contractual

    arrangements to furnish, take, or interchange power

    or energy, or both.

       2.12  The parties recognize that in carrying out

    the provisions of this Service Schedule, the above

    described energy transfer, either during periods

    when conditions of system operation are normal or

    during periods of emergency, or both, may eventually

    require the installation of additional transmission

    facilities in order that such energy transfer may be

    properly controlled to the end that the ability of

    the party over whose system such energy transfer

    occurs to meet its own requirements, as described

    under 2.11 above, is not affected adversely or

    jeopardized.  In the event the need for such

    additional transmission facilities becomes apparent

    to either of the parties during the duration of this

    Service Schedule, upon written notice given by

    either party to the other party and as soon as

    practicable following such notice, the parties shall

    jointly re-examine conditions relating to energy

    transfer.  In such re-examination, if called for,

    the parties shall agree upon such additional

    transmission facilities as may be required to be

    installed, if any, and upon an equitable basis for

    bearing the cost of installing, maintaining and

    operating such facilities, if installed.

SECTION 3 - POWER AND ENERGY ACCOUNTING

    3.1  The parties recognize that energy transfer as

described under Section 2 of this Service Schedule,

except for such amounts of electrical losses as may be

incurred because of such energy transfer, is the

simultaneous acceptance and delivery of like amounts of

power and energy by and from the system of the party over

whose system such energy transfer occurs.  Power and

energy associated with energy transfer, including

electrical losses associated therewith, shall be

accounted for each clock-hour as provided for under

Article 5 of the Agreement.  Proper consideration to such

electrical losses will be in accordance with the manner

agreed upon by the Operating Committee.  It is understood

by the parties, however, that such electrical losses

resulting from energy transfer, to be taken as losses

over and above the losses prevailing under basic

conditions agreed upon by the parties, shall be supplied

simultaneously by the party for whom such energy transfer

is being made.  The parties have agreed that initially

such basic conditions will be established as those that

exist when the scheduled net delivery between the systems

of the parties, and between their respective systems and

the systems of other interconnected companies, is zero

kilowatts.  It is further understood that, from time to

time, conditions may require the establishment of

different basic conditions for such purpose.  Either

party by written notice given to the other party may call

for a prompt re-examination and reconsideration of

matters pertinent to the establishment of said basic

conditions, whenever such re-examination appears to be

warranted, and the parties will thereupon agree to effect

such changes in the basic conditions, if any, that will

equitably compensate the parties for such losses.  A

statement to be prepared by the parties at the end of

each calendar month shall include in detail the amounts

of energy delivered and received by the parties that are

associated with energy transfer and the amounts of

electrical losses associated therewith.

                                                       Exhibit III

              Under Agreement, dated as of
                December 2, 1968 between

         Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
       Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company

SECTION 1 - DURATION

    1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

agreement (referred to in this Schedule as the Agreement)

dated as of December 2, 1968, between Indianapolis Power

& Light Company (Indianapolis Company) and Southern

Indiana Gas and Electric Company, Inc. (Southern Indiana

Company) shall become effective on the Interconnection

Date as defined in Section 9.01 of Article 9 of the

Agreement and shall continue in effect until termination

of the Agreement.



SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    Economy Energy

    2.1  It is recognized that from time to time each of

the parties may have electric energy (herein called

Economy Energy) available from surplus capacity either on

its own system or from sources outside its own system, or

both, and that Economy Energy could be supplied to the

other party at a cost that would result in operating

savings to such other party.  Such operating savings

would result from the displacement of electric energy

that otherwise would be supplied from capacity either on

such other party's system or from sources outside its own

system, or both.  To promote the economy of electric

power supply and to achieve efficient utilization of

production capacity, either party, whenever it, in its

own judgment determines Economy Energy is available, may,

but shall not be obligated to, offer Economy Energy to

the other party.  Promptly upon receipt of any such offer

said other party shall notify the offering party of the

extent to which it desires to use such Economy Energy,

and schedules providing the periods and extent of use

shall be agreed upon.

    Compensation - Economy Energy

    2.2  Economy Energy supplied hereunder shall be

considered as displacing electric energy that otherwise

would have been generated by the receiving party at its

own steam-electric generating stations or any electric

energy from third parties mutually agreed to be subject

to displacement hereunder.  Economy Energy shall be

settled for at rates which shall be predicated upon the

principle that savings in operating costs to the systems

of the parties resulting from the use of Economy Energy

shall be divided between the parties as equally as is

practicable.  Prior to any transaction involving the

delivery and receipt of Economy Energy, authorized

representatives of the parties shall determine and agree

upon the compensation applicable to such transaction.

Compensation so agreed upon shall not be subject to later

review or adjustment.

    Non-Displacement Energy

    2.3  It is further recognized that from time to time

occasions will arise when the effecting of transactions

as provided in subsection 2.1 next above will be

impracticable, but at the same time one of the parties

may have electric energy (herein called Non-Displacement

Energy) which it is willing to make available from

surplus capacity either on its own system or from sources

outside its own system, or both, that can be utilized

advantageously for short intervals by the other party.

It shall be the responsibility of the party desiring the

receipt of Non-Displacement Energy to initiate the

receipt and delivery of such energy.  The party desiring

such receipt of energy shall inform the other party of

the extent to which it desires to use Non-Displacement

Energy, and, whenever in its sole judgment such other

party determines that it has Non-Displacement Energy

available, schedules providing the periods and extent of

use shall be mutually agreed upon.  Neither party shall

be obligated to make any Non-Displacement Energy

available to the other.

    Compensation - Non-Displacement Energy

    2.4  Non-Displacement Energy delivered hereunder

shall be settled for either by the return of equivalent

energy or, at the option of the party that supplied such

energy, by payment of the out-of-pocket cost (such cost

being as of the delivery point or points, as provided for

in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the Agreement, taking

into account electrical losses incurred from the source

or sources of such energy to said delivery point or

points) to the supplying party of generating or supplying

such energy plus ten per cent of such cost.  If

equivalent energy is returned, it shall be returned at

times when the load conditions of the party receiving it

are equivalent to the load conditions of such party at

the time the energy for which it is returned was

delivered or, if such party elects to have equivalent

energy returned under different conditions, it shall be

returned in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the

Operating Committee, as will compensate for the

difference in conditions.

                                                       Exhibit IV

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE D

                    SHORT TERM POWER

              Under Agreement, dated as of
                December 2, 1968 between

         Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
       Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company

SECTION 1 - DURATION

    1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

agreement (referred to in this Schedule as the

Agreement), dated as of December 2, 1968, between

Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis Company)

and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company (Southern

Indiana Company) shall become effective on the

Interconnection Date as defined in Section 9.01 of

Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect

until termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    2.1  Either party by giving the other party notice

may reserve for periods of not less than one calendar

week if the reservation begins with Sunday or Monday or

for the balance of the calendar week if the reservation

begins with any day subsequent to Monday, such electric

power (herein called Short Term Power) as the other party

may at such time have and is willing to make available as

Short Term Power.  The party asked to supply Short Term

Power shall be the sole judge as to the amounts and

periods that it has electric power available that may be

reserved by the other party as Short Term Power:

       2.11  To reserve Short Term Power, the party

    desiring such power shall specify in its notice to

    the other party the number of kilowatts and the

    period for which it desires to so reserve such power

    and the desired schedule of delivery of the power so

    reserved.  The party receiving such notice, in a

    prompt acknowledgement, shall signify the extent of

    its ability and willingness to comply with the

    provision of such notice.  Any notice or any

    acknowledgement of such notice that may be given

    orally initially, if requested by either party,

    shall be confirmed in writing and such confirmation

    shall be forwarded not later than the third day,

    excluding a Saturday, Sunday and holidays, following

    the day such oral notice is given.

       2.12  During the period that Short Term Power has

    been reserved as above provided, the party having

    agreed to supply such power shall deliver electric

    energy (herein called Short Term Energy) to the

    other party at the delivery point or points, as

    provided for in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the

    Agreement, upon call and in amounts up to the number

    of kilowatts reserved.  However, in the event

    conditions arise during such period which could not

    have been reasonably foreseen at the time said power

    was reserved and such conditions would cause the

    delivery of Short Term Energy to be burdensome to

    the supplying party, said party shall have the right

    to request the other party to reduce its take of

    such energy to any amount specified and for any

    portion of such period.  The party so requested

    shall promptly comply with the request of the other

    party.

       2.13  The Short Term Power billing demand for any

    period shall be taken as equal to the number of

    kilowatts reserved for such period as Short Term

    Power.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

    3.1  Payments for the supply of Short Term Power and

Short Term Energy shall be predicated upon the following

rates:

       3.11  Demand Charge

         For the billing demand for each week at the

    rate of $0.30 per kilowatt for such week or if the

    period is less than a week at the rate of $0.06 per

    kilowatt per day.  In the event the amount of Short

    Term Energy taken is reduced upon request of the

    supplying party, the demand charge for the period

    during which such reduction for each day during

    which any reduction is in effect.

         3.12  Energy Charge

    For the kilowatt-hours of Short Term Energy taken,

    at a rate per kilowatt-hour equal to the out-of-

    pocket cost (such cost being as of the delivery

    point or points, as provided for in Section 4.01 of

    Article 4 of the Agreement, taking into account

    electrical losses incurred from the source or

    sources of such energy to said delivery point or

    points) to the supplying party of generating or

    supplying such energy plus ten per cent of such

    cost.

              Under Agreement, dated as of
                December 2, 1968 between

         Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
       Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company

SECTION 1 - DURATION

    1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

agreement (referred to in this Schedule as the

Agreement), dated as of December 2, 1968, between

Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis Company)

and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company (Southern

Indiana Company) shall become effective on the

Interconnection Date as defined in Section 9.01 of

Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect

until termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    2.1  In the furtherance of the benefits to be

realized by the parties, by coordinating to the extent

practicable the scheduled maintenance, repair, and

overhaul of generating facilities in their respective

systems, the parties shall arrange for, deliver, and take

electric power and energy in amounts and under conditions

as follows; viz.:

       2.11  Either party, to the extent that it has

    capacity available and is willing to do so, may

    supply to the other electric energy in an amount up

    to, but not limited to, 25,000 kilowatts to provide

    for and coordinate the scheduled maintenance,

    repair, and overhauling of generating facilities in

    the system of the other party.  The party desiring a

    supply of maintenance energy shall initiate the

    delivery and receipt thereof by informing the other

    party of such desire.  A schedule setting forth the

    intervals and extent of the use to be made of

    maintenance energy shall be agreed upon by both

    parties.  For the purposes of this Service Schedule

    the full twelve months period commencing with the

    January 1st after the effective date of this Service

    Schedule shall be the first Maintenance Period and

    each succeeding full twelve months period that this

    Service Schedule is in effect shall be a Maintenance

    Period.  Maintenance energy shall be settled for by

    the return of maintenance energy equivalent to that

    supplied, except that if, at the end of a

    Maintenance Period there is a balance of maintenance

    energy owed by one party to the other, the party to

    whom such balance is owed may, at its option,

    require that the owing party pay 110% of the

    out-of-pocket cost to the supplying party of

    supplying such balance.  Such out-of-pocket cost

    computations shall be based on the assumption the

    kilowatt-hour balance being settled for consists of

    the kilowatt-hours most recently delivered to the

    owing party under this schedule.  Equivalent energy

    shall be energy returned at times when the load

    conditions of the party receiving it are

    substantially equivalent to the load conditions of

    such party at the time the electric energy for which

    it is returned was delivered or, if such party

    elects to have energy returned under different

    conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts to

    be agreed upon by the parties hereto, as will

    compensate for the difference in conditions.

       2.12  The Operating Committee shall determine and

    agree upon the dates of the intervals referred to

    under subsection 2.11 above during which

    Indianapolis Company shall deliver any such energy

    desired by or returnable to Southern Indiana Company

    and, conversely, the dates of such intervals during

    which Southern Indiana Company shall deliver any

    such energy desired by or returnable to Indianapolis

    Company.  Subject to the understanding hereinbelow

    cited, such intervals shall each consist of single

    periods of not less than seven consecutive calendar

    days, and the receiving party's right to call for

    and take not more than the aforesaid quantities

    agreed upon during any Maintenance Period shall be

    restricted to not more than eight such intervals so

    agreed upon by the Operating Committee during such

    Maintenance Period.  It is understood that during

    any Maintenance Period each party shall have a total

    of sixty days during which it shall have the right

    to call for and take not more than said quantities

    agreed upon from the other under this Service

    Schedule.

       2.13  On the day next preceding the first day of

    an interval as described in 2.12 above and on each

    day of such interval excepting the last day, at a

    time determined to be practicable by the Operating

    Committee, the receiving party shall furnish the

    other a load schedule for the next calendar day, or

    for such other twenty-four hour period or periods as

    may be agreed upon by the Operating Committee.  Such

    load schedules shall show for each clock hour the

    quantity of energy that the receiving party expects

    to take from the other at the delivery point or

    points, as provided for in Section 4.01 of the

    Agreement.

SECTION 3 - MODIFICATION

    3.1  Either party, by written notice given to the

other party not less than ninety days prior to the end of

the first or any subsequent Maintenance Period, may call

for a reconsideration of the terms and conditions of this

Service Schedule, provided that no subsequent

reconsideration shall be made earlier than one year

following any previous reconsideration.  If such

reconsideration is called for, there shall be taken into

account any changed conditions, any results from the

application of said terms and conditions not foreseen or

reasonably foreseeable as of the date of this Service

Schedule or as of the day of conclusion of the next

previous reconsideration, if any, and any other factors

which might cause said terms and conditions to result in

any inequitable division of the benefits of

interconnected operation or in an inadequate realization

of such benefits.  Any modification in terms and

conditions agreed to between the parties following such

reconsideration shall become effective at the beginning

of the Maintenance Period next following the aforesaid

ninety-day notice period.

              Under Agreement, dated as of
         December 2, 1968, as modified, between

         Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
       Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company


SECTION 1 - DURATION

    1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

agreement (referred to in this Schedule as the

Agreement), dated as of December 2, 1968, between

Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis Company)

and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company (Southern

Indiana Company) shall become effective March 1, 1977 or

at such later date as is practicable under applicable

regulations or orders of the Federal Power Commission,

and shall continue in effect until termination of the

Agreement of which it is a part.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    2.1  Either party by giving the other party notice

may reserve for periods of one or more calendar weeks or

for periods of less than one week, such electric power

(herein called Short Term Power) as the other party may

at such time have and is willing to make available as

Short Term Power.  The party asked to supply Short Term

Power shall be the sole judge as to the amounts and

periods that it has electric power available that may be

reserved by the other party as Short Term Power:

       2.11  To reserve Short Term Power, the party

    desiring such power shall specify in its notice to

    the other party the number of kilowatts and the

    period for which it desires to so reserve such power

    and the desired schedule of delivery of the power so

    reserved.  The party receiving such notice, in a

    prompt acknowledgement, shall signify the extent of

    its ability and willingness to comply with the

    provisions of such notice.  Any notice or any

    acknowledgement of such notice that may be given

    orally initially, if requested by either party,

    shall be confirmed in writing and such confirmation

    shall be forwarded not later than the third day,

    excluding a Saturday, Sunday and holidays, following

    the day such oral notice is given.

       2.12  During the period that Short Term Power has

    been reserved as above provided, the party having

    agreed to supply such power shall deliver electric

    energy (herein called Short Term Energy) to the

    other party at the delivery point or points set

    forth in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the Agreement,

    upon call and in amounts up to the number of

    kilowatts reserved.  However, in the event

    conditions arise during such period which could not

    have been reasonably foreseen at the time said power

    was reserved and such conditions would cause the

    delivery of Short Term Energy to be burdensome to

    the supplying party, said party shall have the right

    to request the other party to reduce its take of

    such energy to any amount specified and for any

    portion of such period.  The party so requested

    shall promptly comply with the request of the other

    party.

       2.13  The Short Term Power billing demand for any

    period shall be taken as equal to the number of

    kilowatts reserved for such period as Short Term

    Power.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

    3.1  Payments for the supply of Short Term Power and

Short Term Energy shall be predicated upon the following

rates:

       3.11  Demand Charge

         For the billing demand for each week at the

    rate of $0.55 per kilowatt for such week or if the

    period is less than a calendar week, at the rate of

    $0.095 per kilowatt per day.  In the event the

    amount of Short Term Energy taken is reduced upon

    the request of the supplying party, the demand

    charge for the period during which such reduction is

    made shall be reduced $0.095 per kilowatt of

    reduction for each day during which any reduction is

    in effect.  However, such reduction shall not exceed

    $0.55 per kilowatt for a calendar week.

         3.12  Energy Charge

    For the kilowatt-hours of Short Term Energy taken,

    at a rate per kilowatt-hour equal to the out-of-

    pocket cost (such cost being as of the delivery

    point or points set forth in Section 4.01 of Article

    4 of the Agreement, taking into account electrical

    losses incurred from the source or sources of such

    energy to said delivery point or points) to the

    supplying party of generating or supplying such

    energy plus ten per cent of such cost.

                       Exhibit VI

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE F

               LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM)

              Under Agreement, dated as of

         December 2, 1968, as modified, between

         Indianapolis Power & Light Company and

       Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company

SECTION 1 - DURATION

    1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

agreement (referred to in this Schedule as the

Agreement), dated as of December 2, 1968, between

Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis Company)

and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company (Southern

Indiana Company) shall become effective March 1, 1977 or

at such later date as is practicable under applicable

regulations or orders of the Federal Power Commission,

and shall continue in effect until termination of the

Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    2.1  Either Party by giving the other party notice

may reserve for periods of not less than one month or

more than twelve months, such electric power (herein

called Limited Term Power (Firm)) as the other party may

be willing to make available as Limited Term Power

(Firm).  The party asked to supply Limited Term Power

(Firm) shall be the sole judge as to the amounts and

periods that it has electric power available that may be

reserved by the other party as Limited Term Power (Firm).

    2.11  To reserve Limited Term Power (Firm), the

    party desiring such power shall specify in its

    notice to the other party the number of kilowatts

    and the period for which it desires to so reserve

    such power.  The party receiving such notice shall

    signify the extent of its ability and willingness to

    comply with the provisions of such notice.  Any

    notice or any acknowledgement of such notice that

    initially may be given orally shall be confirmed

    thereafter in writing.

    2.12  During each period that Limited Term Power

    (Firm) has been reserved as above provided, the

    party having agreed to supply such power shall

    deliver upon call electric energy (herein called

    Limited Term Energy (Firm)) to the other party at

    the delivery point or points set forth in Section

    4.01 of Article 4 of the Agreement in any amount up

    to and including the number of kilowatts reserved.

    However, in the event conditions arise during such

    period which could not have been reasonably foreseen

    at the time said power was reserved and such

    conditions would cause the delivery of Limited Term

    Energy (Firm) to be burdensome to the supplying

    party, the supplying party may reduce or interrupt

    the delivery of such energy to preserve the

    integrity of, or to prevent or limit any instability

    on, its system.

    2.13  The Limited Term Power (Firm) billing demand

    for any period shall be taken as equal to the number

    of kilowatts reserved as Limited Term Power (Firm)

    for such period.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

    3.1  Payments for the supply of Limited Term Power

(Firm) and Limited Term Energy (Firm) shall be predicated

on the following rates:

    3.11  Demand Charge

       For any month that Limited Term Power (Firm) is

    reserved, $3.00 per kilowatt reserved.  However, in

    the event the Limited Term Power (Firm) reserved is

    reduced upon the request of the supplying party, the

    demand charge for the period during which such

    reduction is made shall be reduced $0.10 per

    kilowatt of reduction for each day during which any

    reduction is in effect.  However, such reduction

    shall not exceed $3.00 per kilowatt month.

    3.12  Energy Charge

       For the kilowatt-hours of Limited Term Power

    (Firm) taken, at a rate per kilowatt-hour equal to

    the out-of-pocket cost (such cost being as of the

    delivery point or points set forth in Section 4.01

    of Article 4 of the Agreement, taking into account

    electrical losses incurred from the source or

    sources of such energy to said delivery point or

    points) of the supplying party in generating or

    supplying such energy, plus ten percent of such

    cost.

         Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
       Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company


SECTION 1 - DURATION

    1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

agreement (referred to in this Schedule as the

Agreement), dated as of December 2, 1968, between

Indianapolis Power & Light Company (Indianapolis Company)

and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company (Southern

Indiana Company) shall become effective June 1, 1980 or

at such later date as is practicable under applicable

regulations or orders of the Federal Power Commission,

and shall continue in effect until termination of the

Agreement of which it is a part.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    2.1  Either party by giving the other party notice

may reserve for periods of one or more calendar weeks or

for periods of less than one week, such electric power

(herein called Short Term Power) as the other party may

at such time have and is willing to make available as

Short Term Power.  The party asked to supply Short Term

Power shall be the sole judge as to the amounts and

periods that it has electric power available that may be

reserved by the other party as Short Term Power:

       2.11  To reserve Short Term Power, the party

    desiring such power shall specify in its notice to

    the other party the number of kilowatts and the

    period for which it desires to so reserve such power

    and the desired schedule of delivery of the power so

    reserved.  The party receiving such notice, in a

    prompt acknowledgement, shall signify the extent of

    its ability and willingness to comply with the

    provisions of such notice.  Any notice or any

    acknowledgement of such notice that may be given

    been reserved as above provided, the party having

    agreed to supply such power shall deliver electric

    energy (herein called Short Term Energy) to the

    other party at the delivery point or points set

    forth in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the Agreement,

    upon call and in amounts up to the number of

    kilowatts reserved.  However, in the event

    conditions arise during such period which could not

    have been reasonably foreseen at the time said power

    was reserved and such conditions would cause the

    delivery of Short Term Energy to be burdensome to

    the supplying party, said party shall have the right

    to request the other party to reduce its take of

    such energy to any amount specified and for any

    portion of such period.  The party so requested

    shall promptly comply with the request of the other

    party.

       2.13  The Short Term Power billing demand for any

    period shall be taken as equal to the number of

    kilowatts reserved for such period as Short Term

    Power.

    3.1  Payments for the supply of Short Term Power and

Short Term Energy shall be predicated upon the following

rates:

       3.11  Demand Charge

         For the billing demand for each calendar week

    at the rate of $0.85 per kilowatt for such week or

    if the period is less than a calendar week, at the

    rate of $0.14 per kilowatt per day.  In the event

    the amount of Short Term Energy taken is reduced

    upon the request of the supplying party, the demand

    charge for the period during which such reduction is

    made shall be reduced $0.14 per kilowatt of

    reduction for each day during which any reduction is

    in effect.  However, such reduction shall not exceed

    $0.85 per kilowatt for a calendar week.

         3.12  Energy Charge

    For the kilowatt-hours of Short Term Energy taken,

    at a rate per kilowatt-hour equal to the out-of-

    pocket cost (such cost being as of the delivery

    point or points set forth in Section 4.01 of Article

    4 of the Agreement, taking into account electrical

    losses incurred from the source or sources of such

    energy to said delivery point or points) to the

    supplying party of generating or supplying such

    energy plus ten per cent of such cost.

(Firm).  The party asked to supply Limited Term Power

(Firm) shall be the sole judge as to the amounts and

periods that it has electric power available that may be

reserved by the other party as Limited Term Power (Firm).

    2.11  To reserve Limited Term Power (Firm), the

    party desiring such power shall specify in its

    notice to the other party the number of kilowatts

    and the period for which it desires to so reserve

    at the time said power was reserved and such

    conditions would cause the delivery of Limited Term

    Energy (Firm) to be burdensome to the supplying

    party, the supplying party may reduce or interrupt

    the delivery of such energy to preserve the

    integrity of, or to prevent or limit any instability

    on, its system.

    2.13  The Limited Term Power (Firm) billing demand

    for any period shall be taken as equal to the number

    for such period.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

    3.1  Payments for the supply of Limited Term Power

(Firm) and Limited Term Energy (Firm) shall be predicated

on the following rates:

    3.11  Demand Charge

       For any month that Limited Term Power (Firm) is

    reserved, $4.50 per kilowatt reserved.  However, in

    reduced upon the request of the supplying party, the

    demand charge for the period during which such

    reduction is made shall be reduced $0.15 per

    kilowatt of reduction for each day during which any

    reduction is in effect.  However, such reduction

    shall not exceed $4.50 per kilowatt month.

    of Article 4 of the Agreement, taking into account

    electrical losses incurred from the source or

    sources of such energy to said delivery point or

    points) of the supplying party in generating or

    supplying such energy, plus ten percent of such

    cost.

       hereof."

by revising Section 9.02 to read as follows:

       "9.02  Either party upon at least thirty months'
       prior written notice to the other, may terminate
       this agreement after the expiration of the
       initial term or any successive term hereof;
       provided, that this agreement shall not be deemed
       to have terminated until all prior commitments
       for the sale or purchase of power under this

                                            Exhibit I

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                   EMERGENCY SERVICE

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of and under

Modification No. 8 to the Interconnection Agreement

(referred to herein as the "1968 Agreement") dated as of

December 2, 1968 between Indianapolis Power & Light

Company (hereinafter called "IPL" or a "Party") and

Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, Inc.

(hereinafter called "SIGECO" or a "Party") shall become

effective as of the date of the Eighth Modification and

shall continue in effective throughout the duration of

the 1968 Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Conditional Service.  Subject to the provisions of

subsection 2.2 of this Section 2, in the event of a

breakdown or other emergency in or on the system of

either Party involving either sources of power or

transmission facilities, or both, impairing or

jeopardizing the ability of the Party suffering the

emergency to meet the loads of its system, the other

Party shall deliver to such Party electric energy that it

is requested to deliver; provided, however, that neither

Party shall be obligated to deliver such energy which, in

its sole judgment, it cannot deliver without interposing

a hazard to or economic burden upon its operations or

without impairing or jeopardizing the other load

requirements of its system; and provided further, that

neither Party shall be obligated to deliver electric

energy to the other for a period in excess of forty-eight

(48) consecutive hours during any single emergency.

    2.2  Non-Performance.  The Parties recognize that

the delivery of electric energy as provided in subsection

2.1 of this Section 2 is subject to two conditions which

may preclude the delivery of such energy as so provided:

(a) the Party requested to deliver electric energy may be

suffering an emergency in or on its own system as

described in said subsection 2.1, or (b) the system of a

Party may be delivering electric energy, under a mutual

emergency interchange agreement, to the system of another

interconnected company which is suffering an emergency in

or on its system.  Under conditions as cited under (a)

above, neither Party shall be considered to be in default

hereunder if it is unable to comply with the provisions

of said subsection 2.1.  Under conditions as cited under

(b) above, neither party shall be considered to be in

default hereunder if it is unable to comply with the

provisions of said subsection 2.1; provided, however,

that such Party shall make every effort consistent with

the terms of its contract with said other interconnected

company to make the electric energy as provided in

subsection 2.1 available to the other Party hereto as

soon as possible.

    2.3  Reserve Generating Capacity Review.  If at any

time the record over a reasonable prior period shows

clearly that either of the Parties has failed to deliver

energy in accordance with and subject to the provisions

of subsection 2.1 and subsection 2.2 of this Section 2,

either Party, by written notice given to the other Party,

may call for a joint study by the Parties of the reserve

generating capacity in and provided for their respective

systems and of their respective system transmission

facilities affecting the supply and delivery of power and

energy under the 1989 Agreement.  It shall be the purpose

of such study to determine the adequacy or inadequacy of

reserve generating capacity and transmission facilities

being provided to meet the requirements of the Parties'

respective systems, reflecting obligations under the

Agreement, and, if inadequate, the extent of the burden

that one Party may be placing upon the other.  If it

should be found that one Party is placing an unreasonable

burden upon the other, the Party causing such burden

shall take such measures as are necessary to remove the

burden from the other Party, or the Parties shall enter

into such arrangements as shall provide for equitable

compensation to the Party being burdened.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

    3.1  Electric energy delivered under Section 2 above

shall be settled for either by the return of equivalent

energy or, at the option of the Party that supplied such

energy, by payment of the out-of-pocket cost (such cost

being as of the delivery point or points, as provided in

Section 4.01 and 4.02 of Article 4 of the Agreement,

taking into account electrical losses incurred from the

source or sources of such energy to said delivery point

or points) to the supplying Party generating such energy

plus ten percent of such cost.  If equivalent energy is

returned, it shall be returned at times when the load

conditions of the Party electing to receive it are

equivalent to the load conditions of such Party at the

time the energy for which it is returned was delivered

or, if such Party elects to have equivalent energy

returned under different conditions, it shall be returned

in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the Operating

Committee, as will compensate for the difference in

conditions.

3.2  Electric energy delivered under Section 2 above that

is purchased by the supplying Party's system from another

interconnected system shall be settled for by the payment

of 100% of the amount paid therefore by the supplying

Party plus the following:

    3.21  Where IPL is the supplying Party, up to 3.46

    mills per kilowatt-hour (2.46 mills/KWH for bulk

    transmission charges plus 1.0 mill/KWH for difficult

    to quantify energy related costs) plus the cost of

    any transmission losses, taxes, and other expenses

    incurred that would not have been incurred if such

    transaction had not been made.



    3.22  Where SIGECO is the supplying Party, up to

    3.19 mills per kilowatt-hour (2.19 mills/KWH for

    bulk transmission charge plus 1.0 mill/KWH for

    difficult to quantify energy-related costs) plus the

    cost of any transmission losses, taxes, and other

    expenses incurred that would not have been incurred

    if such transaction had not been made.

                                           Exhibit III

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE C

                   INTERCHANGE ENERGY


SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, a part of and under

Modification No. 8 to the Interconnection Agreement

(referred to herein as the "1968 Agreement") dated as of

December 2, 1968 between Indianapolis Power & Light

Company (hereinafter called "IPL" or a "Party") and

Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, Inc.

(hereinafter called "SIGECO" or a "Party") shall become

effective as of the date of the Eighth Modification and

shall continue in effective throughout the duration of

the 1968 Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    Economy Energy

2.1  It is recognized that from time to time each of the

Parties may have electric energy (herein called "Economy

Energy") available from surplus capacity either on its

own system or from sources outside its own system, or

both, and that Economy Energy could be supplied to the

other Party at a cost that would result in operating

savings to such other Party.  Such operating savings

would result from the displacement of electric energy

that otherwise would be supplied from capacity either on

such other Party's system or from sources outside its own

system, or both.  To promote the economy of electric

power supply and to achieve efficient utilization of

production capacity, either Party, whenever it in its own

judgment determines Economy Energy is available, may, but

shall not be obligated to, offer Economy Energy to the

other Party.  Promptly upon receipt of any such offer

other Party shall notify the offering Party of the extent

to which it desires to use such Economy Energy, and

schedules providing the periods and extent of use shall

be agreed upon.

    Non-Displacement Energy

2.2  It is further recognized that from time to time

occasions will arise when the effecting of transactions,

as provided in subsection 2.1 of this Section 2 will be

impracticable, but at the same time one of the Parties

may have electric energy (herein called "Non-Displacement

Energy") which it is willing to make available from

surplus capacity either on its own system or from sources

outside its own system, or both, that can be utilized

advantageously for short intervals by the other Party.

It shall be the responsibility of the Party desiring the

receipt of Non-Displacement Energy to initiate the

receipt and delivery of such energy.  The Party desiring

such receipt of energy shall inform the other Party of

the extent to which it desires to use Non-Displacement

Energy, and, whenever in its sole judgment such other

Party determines that it has Non-Displacement Energy

available, schedules providing the periods and extent of

use shall be mutually agreed upon.  Neither Party shall

be obligated to make any Non-Displacement Energy

available to the other.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

    Economy Energy

3.1 The charge for Economy Energy purchased by either

Party from the other Party shall be based on the

principle that the Party purchasing it shall pay the

out-of-pocket cost (including all operating, maintenance,

tax, transmission losses and other expenses incurred that

would not have been incurred if the energy had not been

supplied) of the Party supplying such energy and that the

resulting savings to the receiving Party shall be equally

shared by the supplying and receiving Parties.

3.2  When Economy Energy is obtained from or delivered to

other systems interconnected with the Parties, but not

signatories to the 1968 Agreement, payments shall be

based on the out-of-pocket cost of the supplying Party or

system providing the energy and an allocation of the

gross savings which are defined as the difference between

(1) what the out-of-pocket costs of the receiving Party

or system would have been to generate such energy, and

(2) the out-of-pocket costs of the supplying Party or

system providing the energy.  Such allocation shall be

made as provided in subsection 3.21 and 3.22 hereinbelow:

    3.21  The transmitting Party shall be paid (a) its

    cost of purchasing the Energy supplied, plus (b) its

    costs of additional transmission losses plus (c) the

    following:

        (1) When IPL is such transmitting Party:

            The greater of (i) fifteen percent of the

            gross savings remaining after deducting all

            such payments for transmission losses or

            (ii) an amount not to exceed 3.46 mills per

            kilowatt-hour of Energy received for

            transmission.

        (2) When SIGECO is such transmitting Party:

            The greater of (i) fifteen percent of the

            gross savings remaining after deducting all

            such payments for transmission losses or

            (ii) an amount not to exceed 3.19 mills per

            kilowatt-hour of Energy received for

            transmission.

    3.22  The supplying Party or system shall be paid

    its out-of-pocket cost of providing the energy, plus

    one-half of the gross savings remaining after

    deducting all (b) and (c) payments made under

    subsection 3.21.  The receiving Party or system

    shall be entitled to the other one-half of the gross

    savings remaining after deducting all (b) and (c)

    payments made under subsection 3.21.

3.3  Prior to any transaction involving the delivery and

receipt of Economy Energy, as provided in subsection 3.1

and 3.2 authorized representatives of the Parties shall

determine and agree upon the compensation applicable to

such transaction.  Compensation so agreed upon shall not

be subject to later review or adjustment.

    Non-Displacement Energy

3.4  Non-Displacement Energy delivered hereunder shall be

settled for either by the return of equivalent energy or,

at the option of the Party that supplied such energy, by

payment of the out-of-pocket cost (such cost being as of

the delivery point or points, as provided in Sections

4.01 and 4.02 of Article 4 of the 1968 Agreement, taking

into account electrical losses incurred from the source

or sources of such energy to said delivery point or

points) to the supplying Party generating such energy

plus ten percent of such cost.  If equivalent energy is

returned, it shall be returned at times when the load

conditions of the Party receiving it are equivalent to

the load conditions of such Party at the time the energy

for which it is returned was delivered or, if such Party

elects to have equivalent energy returned under different

conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts, to be

agreed upon by the Operating Committee, as will

compensate for the difference in conditions.

3.5  Non-Displacement Energy delivered under Subsection

2.2 above that is purchased by the supplying Party from

another interconnected system which is not a signatory to

the 1989 Agreement ("Third Party") at the request of the

receiving Party shall be settled for as follows:

    3.51  When IPL is the supplying Party, a payment of

    100 percent of the amount paid to such Third Party,

    plus up to 3.46 mills per kilowatt-hour (consisting

    of up to 2.46 mills per kilowatt-hour for a

    transmission charge and 1 mill per kilowatt-hour for

    difficult to quantify energy related costs) plus any

    transmission losses.

    3.52  When SIGECO is the supplying Party, a payment

    of 100 percent of the amount paid to such Third

    Party, plus up to 3.19 mills per kilowatt-hour

    (consisting of up to 2.19 mills per kilowatt-hour

    for a transmission charge and 1 mill per

    kilowatt-hour for difficult to quantify energy

    related costs) plus any transmission losses.

                                           Exhibit IV



                   SERVICE SCHEDULE D

              SHORT TERM POWER AND ENERGY

SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of and under

Modification No. 8 to the Interconnection Agreement

(referred to herein as the "1968 Agreement") dated as of

December 2, 1968 between Indianapolis Power & Light

Company (hereinafter called "IPL" or a "Party") and

Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, Inc.

(hereinafter called "SIGECO" or a "Party") shall become

effective as of the date of the Eighth Modification and

shall continue in effect throughout the duration of the

1968 Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Either Party by giving the other Party notice may

reserve from the other, (a) electric power ("Weekly Short

Term Power") for periods of one or more weeks or (b)

electric power ("Daily Short Term Power") for periods of

one or more days whenever, the Party requested to reserve

the same, is willing to make such power available.  Under

ordinary circumstances such reservation shall extend for

not less than a calendar week if it begins with Sunday or

for the balance of the calendar week if it begins with

any day subsequent to the Sunday; however, under unusual

circumstances, the Parties may mutually agree upon a

reservation of Daily or Weekly Short Term Power for a

lesser number of days.  In all cases the Party asked to

supply Daily or Weekly Short Term Power shall be the sole

judge as to the amounts and periods that it has electric

power available that may be reserved by the other Party

as Short Term Power.

        2.11  Prior to each reservation of Weekly or

    Daily Short Term Power, the number of kilowatts to

    be reserved, the period of the reservation, the

    terms of such reservation, and the source of such

    power if the supplying Party is in turn reserving

    such power from another interconnected system

    ("Third Party"), shall be determined by the Parties.

    Such determination shall be confirmed in writing at

    the request of either Party.  If during such period

    conditions arise that could not have been reasonably

    foreseen at the time of the reservation and cause

    the reservation to be burdensome to the supplying

    Party or its system, such Party may by oral notice

    to the reserving Party, such oral notice to be later

    confirmed in writing if requested by either Party,

    reduce the number of kilowatts reserved by such

    amount and for such time as it shall specify in such

    notice, but kilowatts reserved hereunder that the

    supplying Party is in turn reserving from another

    system may be reduced only to the extent they are

    reduced by such other system.

        2.12  During the period that Weekly or Daily

    Short Term Power has been reserved, the Party that

    has agreed to supply such power shall upon call by

    the reserving Party deliver associated electric

    energy ("Weekly or Daily Short Term Energy") to the

    reserving Party as of the delivery point or points,

    as provided in Section 4.01 and 4.02 of Article 4 of

    the 1968 Agreement at a rate during each hour of up

    to and including the number of kilowatts reserved.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  Demand Charges:  The reserving Party of Weekly or

Daily Short Term Power shall pay the supplying Party

Demand Charges for such Short Term Power at the following

rates:

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE F

               LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM)



SECTION 1 - DURATION

1.1  This Service Schedule, being a part of and under

Modification No. 8 to the Interconnection Agreement

(referred to herein as the "1968 Agreement") dated as of

December 2, 1968 between Indianapolis Power & Light

Company (hereinafter called "IPL"' or a "Party") and

Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, Inc.

("hereinafter called "SIGECO" or a "Party"), shall become

effective as of the date of the Eighth Modification and

shall continue in effect throughout the duration of the

1968 Agreement.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

2.1  Either Party by giving the other Party notice may

reserve for periods of not less than one (1) or more than

twelve (12) months, such electric power (herein called

"Limited Term Power (Firm)") as the other Party may be

willing to make available as Limited Term Power (Firm).

The Party asked to supply Limited Term Power (Firm) shall

be the sole judge as to the amounts and periods that it

has electric power available that may be reserved by the

other Party as Limited Term Power (Firm).

    2.11  To reserve Limited Term Power (Firm), the

    Party desiring such power shall specify in its

    notice to the supplying Party the number of

    kilowatts and the period for which it desires to so

    reserve such power.  The supplying Party shall

    signify the extent of its ability and willingness to

    comply with the provisions of such notice.  Any

    notice or any acknowledgement of such notice that

    initially may be given or all shall be confirmed

    thereafter in writing.

    2.12  During each period that Limited Term Power

    (Firm) has been reserved as above provided, the

    supplying Party shall deliver upon call electric

    energy (herein called "Limited Term Energy (Firm)")

    to the other Party at the delivery point or points

    set forth in Section 4.01 of Article 4 of the

    Agreement in any amount up to and including the

    number of kilowatts reserved.  However, in the event

    conditions arise during such period which could not

    have been reasonably foreseen at the time said power

    was reserved and such conditions would cause the

    delivery of Limited Term Energy (Firm) to be

    burdensome to the supplying Party, the supplying

    Party may, upon notice to the reserving Party reduce

    or interrupt the delivery of such energy to preserve

    the integrity of, or to prevent or limit any

    instability on, its system.

    2.13  The Limited Term Power (Firm) billing demand

    for any period shall be taken as equal to the number

    of kilowatts reserved as Limited Term Power (Firm)

    for such period.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  The Party reserving Limited Term Power (Firm) shall

pay the supplying Party the following Demand Charges:

    3.11  Monthly Limited Term Power (Firm) - For any

    month that Limited Term Power (Firm) is reserved up

    to $5.50 per kilowatt reserved; less, for each day

    during any part of which the amount of Monthly

    Limited Term Power (Firm) is reduced upon notice

    from the supplying Party, one-twentieth (1/20) of

    the supplying Party's monthly demand rate per

                   MODIFICATION NO. 9

                         TO THE

               INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT

                        BETWEEN

           INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

                          AND

        SOUTHERN INDIANA GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY





THIS AMENDMENT made and entered into as of the 1st day of
January, 1995 by Indianapolis Power & Light Company
("IPL"), being an Amendment to the Interconnection
Agreement between Southern Indiana Gas & Electric Company
("Buyer") and IPL dated December 2, 1968, as amended (the
"Agreement").


                      WITNESSETH:


WHEREAS, IPL and Southern Indiana Gas & Electric Company
entered into the Agreement on December 2, 1968, which
Agreement has been amended from time to time;


WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the sale of power and

energy by IPL

under Service Schedules described as:

         Service Schedule A         Emergency Service

         Service Schedule C         Interchange Energy

         Service Schedule D         Short Term Power and Energy

         Service Schedule F         Limited Term Power (Firm)


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


WHEREAS, IPL has implemented its Emissions Constrained

Dispatch Plan, attached hereto;



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


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


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the

terms and conditions set forth herein; IPL desires to

amend the Agreement as follows:



Section 1.     Compensation for SO2 Emission Allowances.

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


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

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


Section 2.     Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances Due IPL.

    Section 2.1.                    Number of SO2 Allowances

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


    Section 2.2 .                   Cost of SO2 Allowances

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


Section 3.     Effective Date.

This Amendment to the Agreement shall be made effective

as of January 1, 1995.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, IPL has caused the foregoing

Amendment to be signed by its duly authorized officer,

effective as of the date set forth above.

            EMISSIONS CONSTRAINED DISPATCH PLAN
                 Effective January 1, 1995

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

IPL's plan to implement Emissions Constrained Dispatch is to incorporate
SO2 allowance values into the existing Energy Management System (load
dispatching system), which economically dispatches IPL's generation.  As
the generation required (load) increases, the available unit with the
lowest incremental cost is dispatched to meet the increase.  As the
generation demanded decreases, the unit with the highest incremental cost
is dispatched to reduce its generation, thereby minimizing cost.1

Currently, the Energy Management System uses incremental heat
rates, along with fuel and variable operation costs to
determine the incremental cost of generation on each unit in
service.  Effective January 1, 1995, SO2 emissions related
costs will be included in each unit's incremental cost prior
to the incremental costs being compared to make the unit
dispatch.

The incremental SO2 value will be in units of dollars per million British
Thermal Units ($/MMBTU) and computed by the following guidelines:

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

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

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

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

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

The dimensions for each of the variables is as follows:

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

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

     Investment exceeds two-thirds (2/3) of the Total Investment.


Interconnection Point

1.05  The Interconnection Point shall be that point at Petersburg where
the terminal facilities provided therefor by IPL shall be connected to
the Petersburg-Ratts Line.

Facilities Obligations Common To The Parties

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

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

Synchronous Operation

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

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

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

Maintenance of Equipment

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

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

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

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

     1.113     abandon the establishment of such additional interconnection.

such service schedules having been agreed upon between the Parties
hereto, are attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked Exhibits I,
II, III, IV, V, and VI, respectively.

2.04  Nothing in this Agreement shall require either party hereto to
purchase power or energy from a third party and resell it to the other
party hereto at a price less than the total cost of supplying such
purchased power or energy.

                            ARTICLE 3

                       SERVICE CONDITIONS

Control of System Disturbance

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

Control of Kilovar Exchange

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

Control of Unscheduled Power Deliveries

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


                            ARTICLE 4

         DELIVERY POINTS, METERING POINTS, AND METERING

Delivery Points

4.01  All electric energy delivered under this agreement shall be of the
character commonly known as three-phase sixty-cycle energy, and shall be
delivered at the Interconnection Point, as defined under Section 1.05
hereof, at a nominal voltage of 138,000-volts and at such other points
and voltages as may be agreed upon by the parties in a written amendment
hereto.

Metering Points

4.02  Electric Power and energy supplied under this agreement shall be
measured by suitable metering equipment, having appropriate voltage
rating, to be installed, owned and maintained at the Metering Point as
hereinafter defined; and at such other points, voltages, and ownership as
may be agreed upon by the parties in a written amendment hereto:

     4.021     At the Interconnection Point specified in Section 1.025
     above, by 138,000 volt metering equipment to be installed, owned
     and maintained by IPL.  ("Metering Point")

Metering

4.03  Suitable metering equipment at the metering point provided in
Section 4.02 above shall include electric meters, potential and current
transformers, and such other appurtenances as shall be necessary to give
for each direction of flow the following quantities:

A.   a continuous automatic graphic record of both kilowatts and
     kilovars,

B.   an automatic record of the kilowatthours for each clock hour, and

C.   a continuous integrating record of the kilowatthours.

4.04  Unless otherwise provided for in this agreement, measurements of
electric energy for the purpose of effecting settlements under this
agreement shall be made by standard types of electric meters installed
and maintained, by the owner at the metering point provided for in
Section 4.02 hereof.  The timing devices of all meters having such
devices shall be maintained in time synchronism as closely as
practicable.  The meters shall be sealed and the seals shall be broken
only upon occasions when the meters are to be tested or adjusted. For
the purpose of checking the records of the metering equipment installed
by one of the parties hereto as hereinabove provided, the other party
hereto shall have the right to install check metering equipment at the
aforesaid metering points.  Check metering equipment so installed by one
party on the premises of another party, unless otherwise provided for in
this agreement, shall be owned and maintained by the party installing
such equipment.  Upon termination of this agreement, the party owning
such check metering equipment shall remove it from the premises of the
other party.  Authorized representatives of both parties shall have
access at all reasonable hours to the premises where the meters are
located and to the records made by the meters.

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

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

                            ARTICLE 5

                     RECORDS AND STATEMENTS

Records

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

Statements

5.02  As promptly as practicable after the end of each calendar month,
the parties hereto shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth
the electric power and energy transactions between them during such month
in such detail and with such segregations as may be needed for operating
records or for settlements under this agreement.

                            ARTICLE 6

                      BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS

6.01  All bills for amounts owed by one party hereto to the other shall
be due and payable on the fifteenth day of the month next following the
month in which the service was provided, or on the tenth day following
receipt of a bill therefor, whichever is later.  Interest on unpaid
amounts shall accrue at the annual rate of 1/2 percent above the prime
commercial lending rate established from time to time by Indiana National
Bank at Indianapolis, Indiana and is chargeable from the due date of the
bill to the date of payment.  The term "month" shall mean a calendar
month for the purpose of settlements under this agreement.

                            ARTICLE 7

herein specifically made subject to arbitration, (B) any question of
operating practice involved in the deliveries of power and energy herein
provided for, (C) any question of fact involved in the application of the
provisions of this agreement, or (D) the interpretation of any provision
of this agreement, the disputed matter upon demand of either party, shall
be submitted to arbitration in the manner hereinafter provided.  An offer
of such submission to arbitration shall be a condition precedent to any
right to institute proceedings at law or in equity concerning such matter.

10.02  The party hereto calling for arbitration shall serve notice in
writing upon the other party hereto, setting forth in detail the subject
or subjects to be arbitrated, and the parties thereupon shall endeavor to
agree upon and appoint one person to act as sole arbitrator.  If the
parties fail so to agree within a period of fifteen days from the receipt
of the original notice, the party calling for the arbitration shall, by
written notice to the other party, give notice for appointment of a board
of arbitrators skilled with respect to matters of the character involved
in the disagreement, naming one arbitrator in such notice.  The other
party shall, within ten days after the receipt of such notice, appoint a
second arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall choose and
appoint a third arbitrator.  In case such other party fails to appoint an
arbitrator within said ten days, or in case the two so appointed fail for
ten days to agree upon and appoint a third, the party calling for the
arbitration, upon five days' written notice delivered to the other party,
shall apply to the senior Judge, in point of service, of the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, for
appointment of the second or third arbitrator, as the case may be.

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

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                        EMERGENCY SERVICE

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

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

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

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

     3.22      30 mills per kilowatthour of such Emergency Energy

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



                                                        EXHIBIT II

"Agreement") shall become effective on the Interconnection Date as
defined in Article 9 of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT

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

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

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

SECTION 3 - POWER AND ENERGY ACCOUNTING

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




                                                        EXHIBIT III

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE C

                        INTERCHANGE POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

Economy Energy

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

Non-Displacement Energy

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

Economy Energy

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

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

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

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

Non-Displacement Energy

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

                                                       EXHIBIT IV

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE D

                        SHORT TERM POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

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

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

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  The purchasing party shall pay the supplying party;

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

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

                                                       EXHIBIT V

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE E

                    LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM)

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

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

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

     2.12      During each period that Limited Term Power (Firm) has been
               reserved as above provided, the supplying party shall deliver
               upon call electric energy (herein called "Limited Term Energy
               (Firm)") to the other party at the delivery point or points

               any amount up to and including the number of kilowatts
               reserved.  However, in the event conditions arise during such
               period which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the
               time said power was reserved and such conditions would cause
               the delivery of Limited Term Energy (Firm) to be burdensome
               to the supplying party, the supplying party may, upon notice
               to the reserving party reduce or interrupt the delivery of
               such energy to preserve the integrity of, or to prevent or
               limit any instability on, its system.

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1  The reserving party shall pay the supplying party:

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

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

seasonal load period shall be obligated to have available a like amount
of Diversity Power for the other party during the other seasonal load
period.

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

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

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

3.2  Energy Charges - Energy shall be billed at out-of-pocket cost plus

     the purpose of reviewing the controversy or claim and reaching a
     majority opinion as to the appropriate resolution thereof. In the
     event a majority opinion of the Review Committee cannot be reached
     within 30 days of submission, the matter shall be submitted to the
     President of IPL and the General Manager of Hoosier who shall use
     their best efforts to resolve such controversy or claim.  If the
     controversy or claim cannot be resolved within 30 days after submission
     to the President and General Manager, the same shall be settled by
     arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of The
     American Arbitration Association and judgment on the award rendered by
     the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
     Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted at Indianapolis, Indiana and
     arbitrators shall make awards within 90 days of the date proceedings begin
     unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties."


     V.   Article 11 shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                           "ARTICLE 11

          "INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     "11.01     Limitation of Liability.  In no event shall one party
     be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, incidental
     or consequential damages with respect to any claim arising out of
     this agreement.

     its own facilities or the production or flow of electric energy by
     and through its own facilities, except when such injury or damage
     is due to the sole negligence of the other party.  In addition,
     each party shall hold the other party harmless for any taxes,
     licenses, permits, fees, penalties, or fines assessed against one
     party upon any of the property of such party located on the
     premises of the other party.

     "11.03  Environmental Liability.  Each party shall be responsible
     for its own compliance with all applicable environmental
     regulations, and each party shall hold the other party harmless

                           "ARTICLE 20

                            "DEFAULT

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

     "20.02  Remedies For Default.  Upon failure of a party to make a
     payment or perform an obligation required hereunder, the other
     party shall give written notice of Default to the defaulting party.
     The defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days within which to
     cure the Default.  If a Default is not cured within such period,
     the party not in Default, at its option, may, in addition to all
     other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or under any
     other provision of this agreement:  (i) give notice to the
     defaulting party of its intention to cure the Default and to take
     such steps as such party deems necessary to cure the Default, or
     (ii) suspend this agreement for a period of 6 months, after which
     this agreement shall automatically terminate.  The defaulting party
     shall, in any event, pay to the other party the total of all
     additional costs reasonably incurred by such other party as a
     result of such Default and/or the curing of such Default,
     including, reasonable attorneys' fees, money reasonably paid to
     others, the reasonable equivalent in money for services of property
     obtained, and any other costs reasonably incurred by such other
     party in attempting to remedy such Default, together with interest
     on the total of such costs at the per annum rate of two (2) percent
     above the commercial lending rate as determined in Article 6 hereof.
     This provision is not intended as a liquidated damages
     provision or to limit liability in any way, and the party not in
     Default may also maintain such other actions for damages as may be
     provided by law, in equity or under this agreement."

                           "ARTICLE 21

                         "FORCE MAJEURE

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

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

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                        EMERGENCY SERVICE

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

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

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

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

     3.22      30 mills per kilowatthour of such Emergency Energy

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


                                              EXHIBIT II
                             AMENDED
                       SERVICE SCHEDULE B

                         ENERGY TRANSFER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT

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

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

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

SECTION 3 - POWER AND ENERGY ACCOUNTING

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

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE C

                        INTERCHANGE POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

Economy Energy

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

Non-Displacement Energy

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

Economy Energy

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

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

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

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

Non-Displacement Energy

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

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

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE D

                        SHORT TERM POWER

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

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

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

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

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

     3.11      WEEKLY SHORT TERM POWER -- For any week that Short Term
               Power is reserved, up to $1.05 per kilowatt reserved;

                       SERVICE SCHEDULE E

                    LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM)

SECTION 1 - DURATION

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

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

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

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

     2.12      During each period that Limited Term Power (Firm) has been
               reserved as above provided, the supplying party shall deliver
               upon call electric energy (herein called "Limited Term Energy
               (Firm)") to the other party at the delivery point or points

               any amount up to and including the number of kilowatts
               reserved.  However, in the event conditions arise during such
               period which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the
               time said power was reserved and such conditions would cause
               the delivery of Limited Term Energy (Firm) to be burdensome
               to the supplying party, the supplying party may, upon notice
               to the reserving party reduce or interrupt the delivery of
               such energy to preserve the integrity of, or to prevent or
               limit any instability on, its system.

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

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

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

          reduced upon notice from the supplying party, one-twentieth
          (1/20) of the supplying party's monthly demand rate per
          kilowatt for each kilowatt of reduction but not more than the
          rate agreed upon for each kilowatt per month.

     3.12 THIRD PARTY MONTHLY LIMITED TERM POWER (FIRM) -- For any
          month that Monthly Limited Term Power (Firm) is reserved from
          a Third Party by the supplying party for and at the request
          of the receiving party, such Monthly Limited Term Power
          (Firm) shall be supplied at the rate of up to $1.28 per
          kilowatt reserved per month plus the demand charge paid
          therefore by the supplying party to the Third Party.  In the
          event the amount of Monthly Limited Term Power (Firm)
          reserved from a Third Party is reduced upon the request of
          the Third Party, the demand charge for each day during which
          such reduction is in effect shall be reduced by the amount by
          which the demand charge payable by the supplying party is
          reduced under its Agreement with such Third Party plus,
          one-thirtieth (1/30) of the rate per kilowatt agreed upon

          party's system, 100 percent of the out-of-pocket costs for
          supplying Limited Term Energy (Firm) called for during such
          period, plus 10 percent of such costs.

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

          (1/20) of Hoosier's monthly demand rate currently in effect
          per kilowatt of reduction, but not more than the demand
          charge for that month.

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


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


                           WITNESSETH:


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


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

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


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


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


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


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


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

Section 1.     Compensation for SO2 Emission Allowances.

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


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


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


Section 2.     Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances Due IPL.

     Section 2.1.   Number of SO2 Allowances

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


     Section 2.2 .  Cost of SO2 Allowances

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


Section 3.     Effective Date.

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

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

                        EMISSIONS CONSTRAINED DISPATCH PLAN
                             Effective January 1, 1995

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

IPL's plan to implement Emissions Constrained Dispatch is to incorporate
SO2 allowance values into the existing Energy Management System (load
dispatching system), which economically dispatches IPL's generation.  As
the generation required (load) increases, the available unit with the
lowest incremental cost is dispatched to meet the increase.  As the
generation demanded decreases, the unit with the highest incremental cost
is dispatched to reduce its generation, thereby minimizing cost.<F1>

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

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

        <F1>  Optimization of unit loadings in the Energy Management
System is constrained by equipment physical limitations such as maximum rate
of load pickup or maximum load reduction rate on a unit as well as
contrained by the maximum and minimum capability of the units.

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

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

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

The dimensions for each of the variables is as follows:

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

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

Cooperative, Inc. ("Hoosier") as amended by Modification No. 1
dated June 1, 1982 and Modification No. 2 dated October 1, 1983
(the "1981 Agreement"), shall become effective on January 1, 1991
and shall continue in effect unless it is otherwise terminated in
accordance with this Service Schedule G or Modification No. 3.

1.2   Hoosier may elect to terminate Service Schedule G at any
time during its term.  If such election is made prior to December
31, 1995, Hoosier shall notify IPL at least 30 days in advance of
the desired termination date.  If such election is made after
December 31, 1995, Hoosier shall notify IPL at least 1 year in
advance of the desired termination date.

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

c)   Useful life of new facilities, and;

d)   Remaining term of Service Schedule, and;

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

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


SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

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

the supplying system directly by reason of its generating of
such energy and which, otherwise, would not have been
incurred by such system.  Out-of-Pocket Cost of electric
energy purchased from a source outside of the system of the
supplying Party will be the total amount paid therefor by the
supplying Party which, otherwise, would not have been paid by
such Party.


                         ARTICLE 2

             PROVISIONS REGARDING CONTINUITY OR
         INTERRUPTION OF INTERCONNECTION OPERATIONS


2.01 Representations as to Facilities and Equipment.  IPL
hereby represents that it owns and controls all the
transmission, substation and metering facilities and
equipment necessary to implement and carry out fully all the
provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Wabash
Valley hereby represents that it jointly owns the
transmission, substation and metering facilities and
equipment necessary to this Agreement and has obtained all
right, power and authority from PSI and/or IMPA that is
necessary and proper for the implementation and carrying out
of all transactions of the Parties contemplated by this
Agreement.  Wabash Valley hereby agrees that, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, its
implementation of and compliance with the provisions, terms
and conditions of this Agreement and its resultant
obligations and responsibilities hereunder shall not be
excused because of the nature or extent of Wabash Valley's
ownership and control over the transmission, substation and
metering facilities and equipment it jointly owns with PSI
and IMPA.

2.02 Synchronous Operation.  At the Points of Interconnection
(hereinafter defined) throughout the duration of this
Agreement, subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 2.02
and of Paragraph 2.03 below, IPL and Wabash Valley systems
shall be operated in continuous synchronism.  If synchronous
operation of the systems at the Points of Interconnection
becomes interrupted either manually or automatically due to
reasons beyond the control of either Party or due to
scheduled maintenance that has been agreed to by both
Parties, the Parties shall cooperate to remove the cause of
such interruption as soon as practicable and restore the
Points of Interconnection to normal operating conditions.
Neither Party shall be responsible to the other for any
damage or loss of revenue caused by such interruption.

2.03 Interruption of Operation.  The Parties agree that
either of them may interrupt synchronous operation through
the Points of Interconnection if either determines that its
facilities may be damaged due to excessive loadings, and such
loadings may be reduced or alleviated by such interruption.
If such interruption occurs, the Parties shall cooperate to
remove the cause of such loadings as soon as practicable and
restore the Points of Interconnection to normal operating
condition.  Neither Party shall be responsible to the other
for damage or loss of revenue caused by such interruption.

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

2.04 Maintenance of Equipment.  The Parties shall each keep
the lines, together with all associated equipment and
appurtenances that are located on their respective sides of
the Points of Interconnection, in a suitable condition of
repair at all times, each at its own expense, in order that
said lines will operate in a reliable and satisfactory manner
and in order that reduction in the capacity of said lines
will be avoided to the extent practicable.

2.05 New Interconnections.  The Parties understand that each
of their transmission systems is interconnected with the
electric transmission systems of other electric utility
companies and each has contracted for other such
interconnections and may hereafter during the term of this
Agreement desire to make additional interconnections with
such companies or with other electric utility companies.
Each such additional interconnection with another electric
utility system shall be discussed between the Parties and if,
in the opinion of either Party, the establishment of such
interconnection will cause unreasonable transfers of real
power or reactive power through either system during normal
parallel operations as a result of the proposed additional
interconnection, before such additional interconnection is
made, joint load studies shall be conducted to determine the
effect such interconnection will have on the transmission
systems of the Parties.  If, as the result of such studies it
is the reasonable opinion of a Party that the proposed
additional interconnection would cause unreasonable transfers
of real power or reactive power through the electric
transmission system of such Party or otherwise impair the
ability of such Party to carry out its own obligations, then
the Party proposing such additional interconnection shall,
before such proposed interconnection is placed in service:

     2.051  agree to compensate the other Party for the use
     of that portion of its facilities determined to be
     dedicated to the proposed additional interconnection;
     and/or

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

     2.053  abandon the establishment of such additional
     interconnection.

                         ARTICLE 4

                     SERVICE CONDITIONS


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

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

4.03  Control of Unscheduled Power and Energy Deliveries.
The Paries shall exercise reasonable foresight in carrying
out all matters related to the providing and operating of
their respective electric power resources so as to minimize,
to the extent practicable, deviations between actual and
scheduled deliveries of electric power and energy between
their systems.  The Parties shall provide and install on
their respective systems such communication and telemetering
facilities as are essential to so minimize such deviations
and, to avoid, to the extent practicable, deviations from
scheduled deliveries, shall fully cooperate with each other
and with third parties whose systems are directly or
indirectly interconnected with the systems of the Parties and
who of necessity, together with the Parties, must unify their
efforts cooperatively to achieve effective and efficient
interconnected operation.  The Parties recognize, however,
that, despite their best efforts to prevent it, unscheduled
deliveries of electric energy from one Party to the other may
occur.  In such events, electric energy delivered hereunder
shall be settled for either by the return of equivalent
energy or by payment of the Out-of-Pocket Cost (such cost
being at the Point or Points of Interconnection set forth in
Paragraph 5.01 below, taking into account electrical losses
incurred from the source or sources of such energy to said
Point or Points) of electric energy delivered hereunder to
the supplying Party plus ten percent of such cost.  If
equivalent energy is returned, it shall be returned at times
when the load conditions of the Party receiving it are
substantially equivalent to the load conditions of such party
at the time the energy for which it is returned was delivered
or, if such Party elects to have equivalent energy returned
under different conditions, it shall be returned in such
amounts, to be agreed upon by the Operating Committee, as
will compensate such Party for the difference in conditions.

an appeal from any judicial, regulatory or administrative
action.  Any Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its
obligations under this Agreement by reason of Force Majeure
shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with
all reasonable dispatch.  In the event either Party is
unable, in whole or in part, to perform any of its
obligations by reason of Force Majeure the obligations of the
Party relying thereon, insofar as such obligations are
affected by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the
continuance thereof but no longer.  The Party invoking the
Force Majeure shall specifically state the full particulars
of the Force Majeure and the time and date when the Force
Majeure occurred.  Notices given by telephone under the
provisions of this Article shall be confirmed in writing as
soon as reasonably possible.  When the Force Majeure ceases,
the Party relying thereon shall give immediate notice thereof
to the other Party.  This agreement shall not be terminated
by reason of Force Majeure but shall remain in full force and
effect.


                         ARTICLE 12

                          DEFAULT


12.01     Default Defined.  As used herein, "Default" shall
mean the failure of a Party to make any payment or perform
any obligation at the time and in the manner required by this
Agreement, except where such failure to discharge obligations
(other than the payment of money) is the result of Force
Majeure.  Failure to make any payment in the time and manner
required by this Agreement shall not be excused as a Default
by payment of late charges except with respect to a Default
cured in accordance with the provisions in Paragraph 12.02
below.

12.02     Remedies for Default.  Upon failure of a Party to
make a payment or perform an obligation required hereunder,
the other Party shall give written notice of Default to the
Defaulting Party.  The Defaulting Party shall have thirty
(30) days within which to cure the Default.  If a Default is
not cured within such period, the Party not in Default, at
its option, may, in addition to all other rights and remedies
available at law, in equity or under any other provision of
this Agreement:  (i) give notice to the Defaulting Party of
its intention to cure the Default and to take such steps as
such Party deems necessary to cure the Default, or (ii)
suspend this Agreement for a period of 6 months, after which
this Agreement shall automatically terminate.  The Defaulting
Party shall, in any event, pay to the other Party the total
of all additional costs reasonably incurred by the Party as a
result of such Default and/or the curing of such Default,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, money reasonably paid
to others, the reasonable equivalent in money for services or
property obtained, and any other costs reasonably incurred by
such non-Defaulting Party in attempting to remedy such
Default, together with interest on the total of such costs at
the per annum rate of five (5) percent above the Prime
Lending Rate.  This provision is not intended as a liquidated
damages provision or to limit liability in any way, and the
Party not in Default may also maintain such other actions for
damages as may be provided by law, in equity or under this
Agreement.


                         ARTICLE 13

there should be levied or assessed against either of the
Parties any direct taxes by any taxing authority on the power
and/or energy generated, purchased, sold, transmitted,
interchanged, or exchanged under this Agreement, which taxes
are in addition to or different from the forms of direct
taxes being levied or assessed on the date of this Agreement
and such direct taxes results in increasing the cost to
either or both Parties of carrying out the provisions of this
Agreement, then the rates and charges for such power and/or
energy furnished hereunder shall be increased automatically
to the extent necessary to make adequate and equitable
allowance for such taxes.


                         ARTICLE 16

                          WAIVERS


16.01     Any waiver by either Party of its rights under this
Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any
rights that subsequently accrue.  Any delay, less than the
statutory period of limitations, in asserting or enforcing
any rights under this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver
of such rights.


                         ARTICLE 17

                         INSURANCE

                         ARTICLE 18

                         ASSIGNMENT

18.01     Assignment of Agreement.  This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the respective
successors and assigns of the Parties and, insofar as
permitted by law, on any trustee appointed for a Party under
the United States Bankruptcy Code; and this Agreement may not
be assigned by either Party, without the written consent of
the other Party.  In the event either Party is liquidated or
dissolved as a corporation or otherwise terminates its
business operations, this Agreement shall become null and
void and all obligations under this Agreement and the Service
Schedules, except financial obligations incurred prior to
such event shall cease upon the date of such event.


                         ARTICLE 19

                       MISCELLANEOUS


19.01     Prudent Utility Practices.  The Parties shall
discharge all obligations under this Agreement in accordance
with prudent utility practices.
19.02     Change in Rates.  Nothing herein shall be construed
as affecting in any way the right of Wabash Valley to
unilaterally make a change in rates or charges applicable to
the furnishing of service by Wabash Valley under this
Agreement provided such change is approved by appropriate
state and/or federal regulatory authority.  Nothing contained
herein shall be construed as affecting in any way the right
of IPL in furnishing service under these rate schedules to
unilaterally make application to the FERC for a change in
rates under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act and pursuant
to the FERC's Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder.

19.03     No Partnerships; Tax Matters.  Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties do
not intend to create hereby any joint venture, partnership,
association taxable as a corporation, or other entity for the
conduct of any business for profit, and any construction of
this Agreement to the contrary which has an adverse tax
effect on either Party shall render this Agreement null and
void from its inception.

19.04     Survivorship Of Certain Obligations.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 19.03 above, the voidance of this
Agreement shall not discharge any Party from any obligation
it owes to the other Party under this Agreement by reason of
any transaction, loss, cost, damage, expense or liability
which shall have occurred or arisen after the Effective Date
of this Agreement, but prior to such voidance.  It is the
intent of the Parties that should this Agreement be voided
under Paragraph 19.03 above, the satisfaction of any such
obligation and the provisions for indemnification and limited
liability of Article 14 above shall constitute a separate
agreement between the Parties that is severable from this
Agreement and, as such, shall remain in full force and effect
for actions that occurred prior to the voidance of this
Agreement.

19.05     Computation of Time.  In computing any period of
time prescribed or allowed by this Agreement, the day of the
act, event, or default from which the designated period of
time begins to run shall be excluded but the last day of such
period shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or
legal holiday, in which event the period shall run until the
end of the next business day which is not a Saturday, Sunday,
or legal holiday.

19.06     Section Headings Not To Affect Meaning.  The
descriptive headings of the Articles and paragraphs of this
Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall
not modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions
thereof.

                     SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                     EMERGENCY SERVICE


Under Interconnection Agreement dated October 7, 1987 between
           Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
  Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. (the "Agreement")


SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS

1.1  The meaning of the terms used herein shall be the same
as those used in the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - DURATION

2.1  This Service Schedule shall become effective as of the
Effective Date of the Agreement and shall continue in effect
throughout the duration of the Agreement.

SECTION 3 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

3.1  In the event of a breakdown or other emergency in or on
the system of either Party involving either sources of power
or transmission facilities, or both, which impair or
jeopardize the ability of a Party suffering the emergency to
meet the loads of its system, the other Party shall deliver
the electric energy ("Emergency Energy") that such Party
requests; provided, however, that a Party shall not be
obligated to deliver such energy which it, in its sole
judgment, cannot deliver without interposing a hazard to or
economic burden upon its operations or without impairing or
jeopardizing the other load requirements of its system; and
provided further, that neither Party shall be obligated to
deliver electric energy to the other Party:  (a) for a period
in excess of forty-eight consecutive hours during any single
emergency, or (b) when it is delivering electric energy under
another (other) mutual emergency interchange agreement(s), or
(c) at any time that delivery of emergency energy will impair
its own system's ability to meet its load.

SECTION 4 - COMPENSATION

4.1  Emergency Energy delivered under Section 3 above that is
generated by the supplying Party shall be settled for either
by the return of equivalent Energy or, at the option of the
Party that supplied such Energy, by payment of the greater of
110 percent of the Out-of-Pocket Costs of supplying such
Energy or 30 mills per kilowatthour thereof.

4.2  Emergency Energy delivered under Section 3 above that is
purchased by the supplying party from another interconnected
system which is not a signatory to this Agreement ("Third
Party") at the request of the receiving party shall be
settled for as follows:


     4.21 When IPL is the supplying party, a payment of 100
     percent of the amount paid to such Third Party plus up
     to 3.46 mills per kilowatthour (consisting of up to 2.46
     mills per kilowatthour for a transmission charge and 1
     mill per kilowatthour for difficult to quantify energy
     related costs) plus any transmission losses.

     4.22 When Wabash Valley is the supplying party, a
     payment of 100 percent of the amount paid to such third
     party plus 2.0 mills per kilowatthour plus any
     transmission losses.

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


                     SERVICE SCHEDULE B

                      ENERGY TRANSFER


Under Interconnection Agreement dated October 7, 1987 between
           Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
  Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. (the "Agreement")


SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS

1.1  The meaning of the terms used herein shall be the same
as those used in the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - DURATION

2.1  This Service Schedule shall become effective as of the
Effective Date of the Agreement and shall continue in effect
throughout the duration of the Agreement.

SECTION 3 - TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT

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

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

     3.12 The Parties recognize that in carrying out the
     provisions of this Service Schedule, the Energy Transfer
     either during periods when conditions of system
     operation are normal or during periods of emergency, or
     both, may eventually require the installation of
     additional transmission facilities in order that such
     Energy Transfer may be properly controlled to the end
     that the ability of the Party over whose system such
     Energy Transfer occurs to
     meet its own requirements, as described under 3.11
     above, is not affected adversely or jeopardized.  In the
     event the need for such additional transmission
     facilities becomes apparent to either of the Parties
     during the duration of this Service Schedule, upon
     written notice given by either Party to the other Party
     and as soon as practicable following such notice, the
     Parties shall jointly reexamine conditions relating to
     Energy Transfer.  In such reexamination, if called for,
     the Parties shall agree upon such additional
     transmission facilities as may be required to be
     installed, if any, and upon an equitable basis for
     bearing the cost of installing, maintaining and
     operating such facilities, if installed.

SECTION 4 - POWER AND ENERGY ACCOUNTING

4.1  The Parties recognize that Energy Transfer as described
under Section 3 above, except for such amounts of electrical
losses as may be incurred because of such Energy Transfer, is
the simultaneous acceptance and delivery of like amounts of
power and energy by and from the system of the Party over
whose system such transfer occurs.  Power and energy
associated with Energy Transfer, including electrical losses
associated therewith, shall be accounted for each clock-hour
as provided for under Article 6 of the Agreement.  Proper
consideration to such electrical losses will be in accordance
with the manner agreed upon by the Operating Committee.  It
is understood by the Parties, however, that such electrical
losses resulting from Energy Transfer, to be taken as losses
over and above the losses prevailing under basic conditions
agreed upon by the Parties, shall be supplied simultaneously
by the Party for whom the Energy Transfer is being made.  The
Parties agree that initially such basic conditions will be
established as those that exist when the scheduled net
delivery between the systems of the Parties and between their
respective systems and the systems of other interconnected
companies, is zero kilowatts.  It is further understood that,
from time to time, conditions may require the establishment
of different basic conditions for such purpose.  Either Party
by written notice given to the other Party may call for a
prompt reexamination and reconsideration of matters pertinent
to the establishment of said basic conditions, whenever such
reexamination appears to be warranted, and the Parties will
thereupon agree to effect such changes in the basic
conditions, if any, that will equitably compensate the
Parties for such losses.  Should such reexamination be
required, a statement will be prepared by the Parties which
shall include in detail the amounts of energy delivered and
received by the Parties that are associated with Energy
Transfer and the amounts of electrical losses associated
therewith.
                                                  EXHIBIT III

                     SERVICE SCHEDULE C

                     INTERCHANGE POWER


Under Interconnection Agreement dated October 7, 1987 between
           Indianapolis Power & Light Company and
  Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. (the "Agreement")


SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS

1.1  The meaning of the terms used herein shall be the same
as those used in the Agreement.

SECTION 2 - DURATION

2.1  This Service Schedule shall become effective as of the
Effective Date of the Agreement and shall continue in effect
throughout the duration of the Agreement.

SECTION 3 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

3.1  Economy Energy.  Either Party may arrange to purchase
from the other Party electrical energy ("Economy Energy")
when it is possible to effect a saving thereby and, when, in
the sole judgment of the supplying Party, such energy is
available.   Prior to each Economy Energy transaction, the
amount of energy, the time of its delivery, and the
compensation therefore shall be determined by the Parties.
Compensation so determined by the Parties shall not be
subject to later review or adjustment.  In the event
conditions arise during such scheduled period which cause the
delivery of Economy Energy to become burdensome to the
supplying Party, said Party has the right to request the
receiving Party to reduce the amount of such energy to any
quantity specified.  Receipt or delivery of Economy Energy
may also be arranged with other interconnected systems not
Parties to this Agreement.

3.2  Non-Displacement Energy.  It is recognized that
occasions will arise when transactions under subsection 3.1
above will be impracticable although a Party may have
electric energy (herein called "Non-Displacement Energy")
which it is willing to make available from surplus capacity
from its own system or from outside sources, or both and
which can be utilized advantageously for short intervals by
the other Party.  In such event, the Party desiring such
receipt of energy shall notify the other Party of the extent
to which it desires to obtain Non-Displacement Energy, and if
the other Party, in its sole judgment, determines that Non-
Displacement Energy is available, schedules providing the
periods and extent of use shall be mutually agreed upon.
Neither Party shall be obligated to make any Non-Displacement
Energy available to the other.

SECTION 4 - COMPENSATION

ECONOMY ENERGY

4.1  The charge for Economy Energy purchased by either Party
from the other Party shall be based on the principle that the
Party purchasing it shall pay the Out-of-Pocket Cost of the
Party supplying such Energy and that the resulting savings to
the receiving Party shall be equally shared by the supplying
and receiving Parties.

4.2  When Economy Energy is obtained from or delivered to a
system interconnected with either of the Parties which is not
a signatory to the Agreement ("Third Party"), payments among
the participants in such a transaction shall be based on the
Out-of-Pocket Costs of the supplying Party or Third Party
providing the Energy and an allocation of the gross savings,
which are defined as the difference between (1) what the Out-
of-Pocket Costs of the receiving Party or Third Party would
have been to generate such Energy, and (2) the Out-of-Pocket
Costs of the supplying Party or Third Party providing the
Energy.  Such allocation shall be made as provided in
Subsections 4.21 and 4.22 herein below.

     4.21 The transmitting party shall be paid (A) its cost
     of purchasing the Energy supplied, plus (B) its costs of
     additional transmission losses plus (C) the following:

          (1)  When IPL is such transmitting party:

               The greater of (i) fifteen percent of the
               gross savings remaining after deducting all
               such payments for transmission losses or (ii)
               an amount not to exceed 3.46 mills per
               kilowatthour of Energy received for
               transmission.

          (2)  When Wabash Valley is such transmitting party:

               The greater of (i) fifteen percent of the
               gross savings remaining after deducting all
               such payments for transmission losses or (ii)
               an amount not to exceed 2.0 mills per
               kilowatthour of Energy received for
               transmission.

     4.22 The supplying Party or Third Party shall be paid
     its Out-of-Pocket Costs of providing the Energy, plus
     one-half of the gross savings remaining after deducting
     all payments made under Subsection 4.21 (B) and (C).
     The receiving Party or Third Party shall pay an amount
     which will provide it with the other one-half of the
     gross savings remaining after deducting all payments
     made under Subsection 4.21 (B) and (C).

NON-DISPLACEMENT ENERGY

4.3  Non-Displacement Energy delivered hereunder that is
generated by the supplying Party's system shall be settled
for either by the return of equivalent Energy or, at the
option of the supplying Party, by payment of the Out-of-
Pocket Costs of the supplying Party in generating such Energy
plus ten percent of such cost.  If equivalent Energy is
returned, it shall be returned at times when the load
conditions of the Party receiving it are equivalent to the
load conditions of such Party at the time the energy in
exchange for which it is returned was delivered or, if such
Party elects to have equivalent Energy returned under
different conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts,
to be agreed upon by the Operating Committee, as will

Party shall deliver upon call electric energy (herein called
"Short Term Energy") to the other Party at the Point or
Points of Interconnection set forth in Section 5.01 of the
Agreement in the amounts not to exceed the number of
kilowatts reserved.  However, in the event conditions arise
during such period which could not have been reasonably
foreseen and such conditions would cause the delivery of said
power to be burdensome to the supplying Party, such Party
shall have the right to request the other Party to reduce for
any portion of such period the amount of Short Term Energy
being taken to that amount specified by the supplying Party.
The purchasing Party shall promptly comply with such

             INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
                            AND
           WABASH VALLEY POWER ASSOCIATION, INC.


THIS AMENDMENT made and entered into as of the 1st day of
January, 1995 by Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL"),
being an Amendment to the Interconnection Agreement between
Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. ("Buyer") and IPL dated
October 7, 1987 (the "Agreement").


                        WITNESSETH:


WHEREAS, IPL and Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc.,
entered into the Agreement on October 7, 1987, which
Agreement has been amended from time to time;


WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the sale of power and

energy by IPL under Service Schedules described as:

          Service Schedule A                 Emergency Service

          Service Schedule C                 Interchange Power

          Service Schedule D                 Short-Term Power

          Service Schedule E                 Limited-Term Power

          Service Schedule F                 Diversity Power


WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the recovery of

incremental costs or "out-of-pocket" costs occasioned by the

sale by IPL of electric energy;


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


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


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


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the

terms and conditions set forth herein; IPL desires to amend

the Agreement as follows:



Section 1.     Compensation for SO2 Emission Allowances.

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


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


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


Section 2.     Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances Due IPL.

     Section 2.1.   Number of SO2 Allowances

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


     Section 2.2 .  Cost of SO2 Allowances

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


Section 3.     Effective Date.

This Amendment to the Agreement shall be made effective as of

January 1, 1995.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, IPL has caused the foregoing Amendment to

be signed by its duly authorized officer, effective as of the

date set forth above.

     Agreement.

2.02 Synchronous Operation.  At the Point(s) of
Interconnection (hereinafter defined) throughout the
duration of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of
this Paragraph 2.02 and of Paragraph 2.03 hereinbelow,
IPL and IMPA systems shall be operated in continuous
synchronism.  If synchronous operation of the systems at
the Point(s) of Interconnection becomes interrupted
either manually or automatically due to reasons beyond
the control of either Party or due to scheduled
maintenance that has been agreed to by both Parties, the
Parties shall cooperate to remove the cause of such
interruption as soon as practicable and restore the
Point(s) of Interconnection to normal operating
conditions.  Neither Party shall be responsible to the
other for any damage or loss of revenue caused by such
interruption.

2.03 Interruption of Operation.  The Parties agree that
either of them may interrupt synchronous operation
through the Point(s) of Interconnection if either Party
determines that its facilities may be damaged due to
excessive loading, and such excess loading may be reduced
or alleviated by such interruption.  If such interruption
occurs, the Parties shall cooperate to remove the cause
of such excess loading as soon as practicable and restore
the Point(s) of Interconnection to normal operating
condition.  Neither Party shall be responsible to the
other for damage or loss of revenue caused by such
interruption.
The Parties further agree to study and negotiate the
installation, ownership, and cost of any additional
equipment necessary to effect a long-term solution to any
such excessive loading herein described in the event
either Party determines that this interconnection
contributes to excessive loading and requests such
negotiation.

2.04 Maintenance of Equipment.  The Parties (In
accordance with Paragraphs 2.01  and 19.07) shall each
keep the lines, together with all associated equipment
and appurtenances that are located on their respective
sides of the Points of Interconnection (as delineated in
Article 5 hereinbelow), in a suitable condition of repair
at all times, each at its own expense, in order that said
lines will operate in a reliable and satisfactory manner
and in order that reduction in the capacity of said lines
will be avoided to the extent practicable.

2.05 New Interconnections.  The Parties understand that
each of their transmission systems is interconnected with
the electric transmission systems of other electric
utility companies and each has contracted for other such
interconnections and may hereafter during the term of
this Agreement desire to make additional physical
interconnections with such companies or with other
electric utility companies.  Each such additional
physical interconnection with another electric utility
system will be discussed between the Parties and if, in
the opinion of either Party, the establishment of such
interconnection will cause unreasonable transfers of real
power or reactive power through either system during
normal parallel operations as a result of the proposed
additional interconnection, before such additional
interconnection is made, joint load studies shall be
conducted to determine the effect such interconnection
will have on the transmission systems of the Parties. If
the study results in a determination that the proposed
additional interconnection would cause unreasonable
transfers of real power or reactive power through the
electric transmission system of such Party or otherwise
impair the ability of such Party to carry out its own
obligations, then the Party proposing such additional
interconnection shall, before such proposed
interconnection is placed in service:

     2.05.1         Compensation for Use.  Compensate the
     other Party for the use of that portion of its
     facilities determined to be dedicated to the
     proposed additional interconnection; and/or

     2.05.2         Remedies.  Install and/or remove such
     equipment as reasonably may be necessary to avoid
     such unreasonable transfers of power or reactive

("FERC") and Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission
("IURC") rules and regulations.



                        ARTICLE 4

                   SERVICE CONDITIONS

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

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

4.03 Control of Unscheduled Power and Energy Deliveries.
The Parties shall exercise reasonable foresight in
carrying out all matters related to the providing and
operating of their respective electric power resources so
as to minimize, to the extent practicable, deviations
between actual and scheduled deliveries of electric power
and energy between their systems.  The Parties shall
provide and install on their respective systems such
communication and telemetering facilities as are
essential to so minimize such deviations and, in
developing and executing operating procedures that will
enable the Parties to avoid, to the extent practicable,
deviations from scheduled deliveries, shall fully
cooperate with each other and with third parties whose
sytems are directly or indirectly interconnected with the
systems of the Parties and who of necessity, together
with the Parties, must unify their efforts cooperatively
to achieve effective and efficient interconnected
operation.  The Parties recognize, however, that, despite
their best efforts to prevent it, unscheduled deliveries
of electric energy from one Party to the other may occur.
In such events, electric energy delivered hereunder shall
be settled for either by the return of equivalent energy
or by payment of the Out-of-Pocket Cost (such cost being
at the Point or Points of Interconnection set forth in
Paragraph 5.01 below, taking into account electrical
losses incurred from the source or sources of such energy
to said Point or Points) of electric energy delivered
hereunder to the supplying Party plus ten percent of such
cost.  If equivalent energy is returned, it shall be
returned at times when the load conditions of the Party
receiving it are substantially equivalent to the load
conditions of such Party at the time the energy for which
it is returned was delivered or, if such Party elects to
have equivalent energy returned under different
conditions, it shall be returned in such amounts, to be
agreed upon by the Operating Committee, as will
compensate such Party for the difference in conditions.

                        ARTICLE 5

     DELIVERY POINTS, METERING POINTS, AND METERING

5.01 Points of Interconnection.

     5.01.1    Delivery Points.  All electric energy
     delivered under this Agreement shall be of the
     character commonly known as three-phase sixty hertz
     energy and shall be delivered at the established
     point(s) of interconnection listed below ("Points of
     Interconnection"):

          The Petersburg Substation of IPL, the Sunnyside
     Substation of IPL, the Five Points Substation of PSI
     Energy Inc., the Centerton Substation of PSI Energy
     Inc., and the Whitestown Substation of PSI Energy
     Inc. .

     5.01.2    Third Party Delivery Points.  In addition
     to the Point(s) of Interconnection, IPL and IMPA
     have interconnections with several utilities, each
     such utility being hereinafter referred to as a
     "Third Party". The Parties shall provide in advance
     to one another an information copy of each Third
     Party transmission agreement(s)

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

5.03 Metering Points.  Electric power and energy supplied
under this Agreement shall be measured by suitable
metering equipment, at the voltages and metering points
specified below ("Metering Points") and at such other
points, voltages, and ownership as may be agreed upon by
the Parties in a written amendment hereto:

     5.03.1    Petersburg 345kV Meters.  345 kV meters
     owned by IPL at the Petersburg Substation of IPL.

     5.03.2    Petersburg 138 kV Meters.  138 kV meters
     owned by IPL at the Petersburg Substation of IPL.

     Energy Inc. .

     5.03.6    Sunnyside 345 kV Meters.  345 kV meters
     owned by IPL at the Sunnyside Substation of IPL.


5.04 Metering Equipment.  Suitable metering equipment at
the metering points provided in Paragraph 5.03 above
shall include electric meters, potential and current
transformers, and such other appurtenances as shall be
necessary to give for each direction of flow the
following quantities:  a continuous automatic graphic
record of both kilowatts and kilovars; an automatic
record of the kilowatthours for each clock hour; and a
continuous integrating record of the kilowatthours.

5.05 Measurement of Electric Energy.   Measurement of
electric energy under this Agreement shall be made by
standard types of electric meters installed and
maintained by the owner of the devices at the Metering
Points.  The timing devices of meters shall be
synchronized as closely as practical.  All meters shall
be sealed, and the seals shall be broken only when the
meters are to be tested or adjusted.

5.06 Access to Meters and Records.  Authorized
Representatives (hereinafter defined) of both Parties
shall have reasonable access to the premises where their
meters are located and to the records made by the meters.

5.07 Meter Testing.  The owner of the respective metering
facilities shall routinely test or have tested the above-
referenced meters and shall maintain records of meter
accuracy all in accordance with prudent utility
practices.  Each Party shall have the right, at its
expense, to require that the other Party conduct a
special test of its meters as soon as practicable;
provided, that if such test shows the meter to be more
than two percent (2%) inaccurate, the Party owning the
meter shall bear the cost of such test.  Representatives
of both Parties shall be notified and afforded the
opportunity to be present at all routine or special tests
and whenever any readings are taken from meters not
providing an automatic record.  Both Parties shall be
provided with a schedule of routine testing dates for
metering equipment which measures transactions entered
into pursuant to this Agreement.

5.08 Adjustments Due to Inaccuracies.  If any metering
equipment test discloses an inaccuracy exceeding two
percent (2%), the energy account between the Parties
shall be adjusted to correct for the inaccuracy disclosed
over the shortest of the following periods; (i) for the
six (6) month period immediately preceding the day of the
test, or (ii) for the period that such inaccuracy may be
determined to have existed, or (iii) if the last test
took place within the immediately preceding six month
period and the period of inaccuracy cannot be determined,
for the period since the last test.  Should the metering
equipment fail to register, the amount of electric power
and energy delivered shall be determined from the best
available data.

5.09 Metering Limitations.  Notwithstanding the metering
terms and conditions as provided in Article 5 the
Parties' rights are no greater than those terms and
conditions as provided in the various Third Party
agreements which provided those facilities not provided
by this Agreement.


                        ARTICLE 6

                 RECORDS AND STATEMENTS

6.01 Records.  In addition to records of the metering
provided for in Article 5 hereof, the Parties shall keep
complete records as may be needed to substantiate a clear
history of the various deliveries of electric energy
made, and of the clock-hour integrated demands in
kilowatthours delivered, by one Party to the other.  In
maintaining such records, the Parties shall effect such
segregation and allocation of demands and electric energy
delivered into classes representing the various services
and conditions as may be needed to effect settlements
under this Agreement.  All such records shall be retained
by the Party keeping the records.  A Party's records
shall be available at all reasonable times for inspection
by the other Party's Representative and may be copieds at
such other Party's expense.

6.02 Statements.  As promptly as practicable after the
end of each calendar month, the Parties shall cause to be
prepared a statement setting forth the electric power and
energy transactions between the Parties during such month
in such detail and with such segregation as may be needed

annual rate of two percent (2%) above the prime
commercial lending rate established from time to time by
The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., New York, New York (the
"Prime Lending Rate") and is payable from the date the
bill is due to the date of payment.  The term "month"
shall mean a calendar month for the purpose of
settlements under this Agreement.

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

7.05 Billing Disputes.  If either Party disputes the
correctness of a bill, it will, nevertheless, pay the
undisputed portion of such bill plus a minimum of one-
half (1/2) of the disputed amount and shall submit to the
other Party a written statement detailing the items
disputed.  If the Parties are unable to agree upon the
disputed items, such items shall be submitted to the
Operating Committee for decision.  Should the Operating
Committee be unable to reach a decision, the matter shall
be submitted to the President of IPL and the President of
IMPA for decision.  Any refund or additional payment
ordered by the Operating Committee or by the President of
IPL and the President of IMPA shall be subject to
interest computed at the Prime Lending Rate existing at
the time of the refund or additional payment plus two
percent (2%), said interest to be calculated, in the case
of a refund, from the date the amount to be refunded was
paid to the date of the refund and, in the case of an
additional amount ordered to be paid, from the original
due date to the payment date.  Unresolved billing
disputes shall be resolved in accordance with Paragraph
8.07 herein.

performance of this Agreement.

8.03 Operating Committee Expenses.  Each Party shall be
responsible for the expenses of its members; provided
that any expense jointly incurred by the Operating
Committee in performing its duties shall be shared
equally by the Parties.

8.04 Operating Committee Meetings.  The Operating
Committee shall meet at a time and place mutually agreed
upon by the Representatives.  On request of any
Representative, a meeting shall be arranged not more than
five working days after the request unless the Party
requesting the meeting agrees to a later date.
Attendance at the meetings shall not be limited to
Representatives; however, the Parties agree to limit
attendance of non-Representatives to those who are
expected to take an active part on the agenda for a given
meeting.
8.05 Agreement Not To Be Modified by Committee.  The
Operating Committee shall not have authority to modify
any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.

8.06 Change of Representatives.  Each Party shall give
prompt written notice to the other Party of any change in
designation of its primary or alternate Representative on
the Operating Committee.

8.07 Unresolved Disputes.  If the Operating Committee is
unable to take action on any matter to be acted upon by
it under this Agreement because of a dispute between the
Representatives as to such matter, then the matter shall
be resolved by the following Procedure:

     8.07.1    Consultation.  In accordance with the
     provisions of Article 8 hereinabove, the members of
     the Operating Committee are authorized to  consult
     in connection with respect to any matter arising
     under this Agreement.

     8.07.2    Disagreement.  If a disagreement arises
     under this Agreement, pertaining to this Agreement,
     such matters shall be discussed by the Operating
     Committee and timely mutual agreement sought in
     regard thereto.  If all members of the Operating
     Committee agree to the resolution of any matter,
     such agreement shall be reported in writing and,
     within the scope of its power set forth in Article 8
     hereinabove, shall be binding upon the Parties.  In
     the event that all members of the Operating
     Committee are unable to reach agreement within a
     reasonable time on any matter being considered, the
     Presidents of either of the Parties may, by written
     notice to the members of the Operating Committee,
     withdraw such matter from further consideration by
     the Operating Committee and submit the same to the
     Chief Executive Officers of the Parties for
     resolution.  If the Chief Executive Officers of the
     Parties agree to a resolution of the matter, such
     agreement shall be reported in writing to, and shall
     be binding upon, the Parties; but if the Chief
     Executive Officers of the Parties fail to resolve
     the matter within forty five (45) days after being
     submitted  to them, then the matter shall proceed to
     arbitration as provided in this Article 8; provided
     that other dispute resolution procedures may be
     utilized by the Parties before arbitration, upon
     agreement of the Parties.

     8.07.3    Arbitration. Disagreements which are not
     resolved by the Operating Committee or the Chief
     Executive Officers of the Parties as provided in
     Article 8.07.02 may be settled by an Arbitration
     Board, (or by such other form of dispute resolution
     as agreed upon by the Parties) consisting of three
     arbitrators as hereinafter provided, in accordance
     with the provision of this Article 8.07.03.  A Party
     desiring arbitration,  shall serve written notice
     upon the other Party setting forth in detail the
     disagreement with respect to which arbitration is
     desired.  Such disagreement shall be settled by
     arbitration if, after receipt of such written
     notice, each of the Parties shall agree in writing
     that such disagreement shall be so settled.  Within
     a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such
     agreement to settle such disagreement by
     arbitration, each Party shall select one arbitrator
     and the chosen arbitrators shall pick the third
     arbitrator.

     The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in
     Indianapolis, Indiana unless otherwise mutually
     agreed.  The Arbitration Board shall afford adequate
     opportunity to each of the Parties to present
     information with respect to the disagreement
     submitted to arbitration and may request further
     information from the Parties.  Except as provided in
     the preceding sentence, the Parties may, by mutual
     agreement, specify the rules which are to govern any
     proceeding before the Arbitration Board and limit
     the matters to be considered by the Arbitration
     Board, in which event the Arbitration Board shall be
     governed by the terms and conditions of such
     agreement.  In the absence of any such agreement
     respecting the rules which are to govern any
     proceeding, the then current rules of the American
     Arbitration Association for the conduct of
     commercial arbitration shall govern the proceedings
     unless in conflict with Indiana Law, which shall
     control.

     Procedural matters pertaining to the conduct of the
     arbitration and the award of the Arbitration Board
     shall be made upon a determination of a majority of
     the arbitrators.  The Parties shall, however, be
     entitled to all discovery provided for by the
     Indiana Rules of Civil Procedure.  The findings and
     award of the Arbitration Board, so made upon a
     determination of a majority of the arbitrators,
     shall be final and conclusive with respect to the
     disagreement submitted for arbitration and shall be
     binding upon the Parties, except as otherwise
     provided by law.  Each Party shall pay the fee and
     expenses of the arbitrator selected by it, together
     with the costs and expenses incurred by it in the
     preparation of its case to the arbitrators and  the
     Parties shall split the costs of the third
     arbitrator equally.  Judgment upon the award may be
     entered in any court having jurisdiction.  In the
     event the Parties do not agree to arbitrate, each
     shall have the right to take appropriate judicial
     action.

8.08 Unanimous Action. All actions taken by said
Operating Committee must be by unanimous vote or consent
of all Operating Committee Representatives.

                        ARTICLE 9

          CONTINUITY AND SUSPENSION OF SERVICE,

                RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES

9.01 Continuity and Suspension of Service.  Each Party
shall exercise reasonable care and foresight to maintain
continuity of service as provided in this Agreement, but
neither Party shall be considered in Default (hereinafter
defined) in respect of any obligation hereunder if
prevented from fulfilling such obligation by reason of
Force Majeure as defined in Article 11 below.  In no
event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for
loss or damage arising from failure, interruption or
suspension of service. Each Party reserves the right to
suspend service without liability at such times and for
such periods and in such manner as it deems advisable,
including, without limitation, suspensions for the
purpose of making necessary adjustments to, changes in,
or repairs on, its facilities, and suspensions in cases
where, in its sole opinion, the continuance of service to
the other Party would endanger person or property.  Both
Parties shall use their best efforts to provide each
other with reasonable notice in the event of suspension
of service.

9.02 Relative Responsibilities.  Each Party assumes all
responsibility for receipt and delivery of electricity on
its system to and from its Points of Interconnection.
Neither Party assumes any responsibility with respect to
the construction, installation, maintenance or operation
of the system of the other Party or of the systems of
Third Parties, in whole or in part. Neither Party shall,
in any event, be liable for damage or injury to any
person or property, whatsoever, arising, accruing or
resulting from, in any manner, the receiving,
transmission, control, use, application or distribution
by the other Party of said electricity.  Each Party shall
use reasonable diligence to maintain its facilities in
proper and serviceable condition, and shall take
reasonable steps and precautions for maintaining the
services agreed to be provided and received under this
Agreement.

                       ARTICLE 10

                    TERM OF AGREEMENT

10.01     Effective Date.  The effective date of this
Agreement (the "Effective Date") shall be the date as of
which all conditions precedent set forth in Article 13
hereinbelow have been satisfied. Such Effective Date
shall be specified in a writing executed by both Parties.
The Parties agree to use their best efforts to support
and cooperate with each other to satisfy said conditions
precedent.

10.02     Term.  The term of this Agreement and of the
annexed Service Schedules shall begin on the Effective
Date and continue through December 31, 2010 ("Initial
Term"). The Agreement and Service Schedules shall
continue in effect for successive terms of three(3) years
each until terminated pursuant to notice given by either
Party to the other or otherwise terminated under
Paragraphs 12.02, 13.01, 18.01 or 19.03 hereof.  Any
notice of termination given hereunder shall be given in
writing, at least two (2) years prior to the end of the
Initial Term or any successive term, and may be delivered
at any time after the Effective Date of this Agreement;
provided, that this Agreement shall not be deemed to have
terminated until all prior commitments for sales or
purchases of power and energy under this Agreement have
been fullfilled and all payments therefor have been made.

                       ARTICLE 11

                      FORCE MAJEURE

11.01     Force Majeure.  The term "Force Majeure" shall
mean any cause beyond the control of the Party invoking
the Force Majeure which by the exercise of ordinary care
could not have been prevented by that Party, including,
but not limited to, failure or threat of failure of
facilities, equipment or fuel supply, ice, act of God,
flood, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, explosion,
epidemic, war, civil war, invasion, insurrection,
military or usurped power, act of the public enemy, riot,
civil disturbance or disobedience, strike, lockout, work
stoppage, other industrial disturbance or dispute, labor
or material shortage, national emergency, sabotage,
failure of contractors or suppliers of materials,
inability to obtain or ship materials or equipment
because of the effect of similar causes on suppliers or
carriers, restraint by court order or other public
authority or governmental agency, or action or non-action
by, or failure to obtain the necessary authorizations or
approvals from, or obtaining of the necessary
authorizations or approvals only subject to unreasonable
restrictions from, any governmental agency or authority,
which by the exercise of due diligence such Party could
not reasonably have been expected to avoid.  Nothing
contained herein shall be construed to require a Party to
settle any strike, lockout, work stoppage or other
industrial disturbance or dispute in which it may be
involved or to take an appeal from any judicial,
regulatory or administrative action.  Any Party rendered
unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this
Agreement by reasons of Force Majeure shall exercise due
diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable
dispatch.  In the event either Party is unable, in whole
or in part, to perform any of its obligations by reasons
of Force Majeure, obligations of the Party relying
thereon, insofar as such obligations are affected by such
Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance
thereof but no longer.  The Party invoking the Force
Majeure shall specifically state the full particulars of
the Force Majeure and the time and date when the Force
Majeure occurred.   Notices given by telephone under the
provisions of this Article shall be confirmed in writing
as soon as reasonably possible.  When the Force Majeure
ceases, the Party relying thereon shall give immediate
notice thereof to the other Party.  This Agreement shall
not be terminated by reason of Force Majeure but shall
remain in full force and effect.

                       ARTICLE 12

                         DEFAULT

12.01     Default Defined.  As used herein, "Default"
shall mean the failure of a Party to make any payment or
perform any obligation at the time and in the manner
required by this Agreement, except where such failure to
discharge obligations (other than the payment of money)
is the result of Force Majeure.  Failure to make any
payment in the time and manner required by this Agreement
shall not be excused as a Default by payment of late
charges except with respect to a Default cured in
accordance with the provisions in Paragraph 12.02 below.
It shall not be a default for a Party to make a partial
payment pursuant to invoking the billing dispute
procedures in Paragraph 7.05.

12.02.    Remedies for Default.  Upon failure of a Party
to make a payment or perform an obligation required
hereunder, the other Party shall give written notice of
Default to the Defaulting Party. The Defaulting Party
shall have thirty (30) days within which to cure the
Default.  If a Default is not cured within such period,
the Party not in Default, at its option, may, in addition
to all other rights and remedies available at law, in
equity or under any other provision of this Agreement:
(i) give notice to the Defaulting Party of its intention
to cure the Default and to take such steps as such Party
deems necessary to cure the Default, or (ii) provide
written notice of termination.  The Defaulting Party
shall, in any event, pay to the other Party the total of
all additional costs reasonably incurred by the Party as
a result of such Default and/or the curing of such
Default, including reasonable attorneys' fees, money
reasonably paid to others, the reasonable equivalent in
money for services or property obtained, and any other
costs reasonably incurred by such non-Defaulting Party in
attempting to remedy such Default, together with interest
on the total of such costs at the per annum rate of two
(2) percent above the Prime Lending Rate.  This provision
is not intended as a liquidated damages provision or to
limit liability in any way, and the Party not in Default
may also maintain such other actions for damages as may
be provided by law, in equity or under this Agreement.

                       ARTICLE 13

because of injury or damage to persons or property
resulting from, or arising out of the use of its own
facilities (including the Joint Transmission System) or
the production or flow of electric energy by and through
its own facilities (including the Joint Transmission
System), except when such injury or damage is due to the
sole negligence of the other Party.  In addition, each
Party shall hold the other Party harmless for any taxes,
licenses, permits, fees, penalties, or fines assessed
against one Party upon any of the property of such Party
(including the Joint Transmission System)  located on the
premises of the other Party.

                          TAXES

15.01     Compensation For Taxes.  If at any time during
the term of this Agreement there should be levied or
assessed against either of the Parties any direct taxes
by any taxing authority on the power and/or energy
generated, purchased, sold, transmitted, interchanged, or
exchanged under this Agreement, which taxes are in
addition to or different from the forms of direct taxes
being levied or assessed on the date of this Agreement
and such direct taxes results in increasing the cost to
either or both Parties of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement, then the rates and charges for such power
and/or energy furnished hereunder shall be increased
automatically to the extent necessary to make adequate
and equitable allowance for such taxes.

                       ARTICLE 16

                         WAIVERS

16.01     Waiver Rights.  Any waiver by either Party of
its rights under this Agreement, shall not be deemed a
waiver with respect to any rights that subsequently

rights.


                       ARTICLE 17

                        INSURANCE

17.01     Insurance Responsibilities.  Each Party shall

18.01     Assignment of Agreement.  This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the
respective successors and assigns of the Parties and,
insofar as permitted by law, on any trustee appointed for
a Party under the United States Bankruptcy Code; and this
Agreement may not be assigned by either Party, without
the written consent of the other Party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event either
Party is liquidated or dissolved as a corporation or
otherwise terminates its business operations, this
Agreement shall become null and void and all obligations
under this Agreement and the Service Schedules, except
financial obligations incurred prior to the receipt of
notice of such event, shall cease upon the date of such
notice.

                       ARTICLE 19

                      MISCELLANEOUS

19.01     Prudent Utility Practices.  The Parties shall
discharge all obligations under this Agreement in
accordance with prudent utility practices.

19.02     Change in Rates.  Nothing herein shall be
construed as affecting, in any way, the right of IMPA or
IPL to unilaterally make a change in its rates or charges
applicable to the furnishing of service by IMPA or IPL
under this Agreement, under Section 205 of the Federal
Power Act and pursuant to the FERC's Rules and
Regulations promulgated thereunder, or under Indiana Code
8-1-2.2-1 et seq. pursuant to the IURC's Rules and
Regulations as respectively applicable to the Parties;
provided, that either Party may intervene and fully
participate in any such proceeding instituted by the
other Party pursuant to this paragraph in the manner and
to the extent permitted by the FERC or the IURC, as
respectively applicable.

19.03     No Partnerships; Tax Matters.  Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Parties do not intend to create hereby any joint venture,
partnership, association taxable as a corporation, or
other entity for the conduct of any business for profit,
and any construction of this Agreement to the contrary
which has an adverse tax effect on either Party shall
render this Agreement null and void from its inception.

19.04     Survivorship Of Certain Obligations.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 19.03 above, the termination or
voidance of this Agreement shall not discharge any Party
from any obligation it owes to the other Party under this
Agreement by reason of any transaction, loss, cost,
damage, expense or liability which shall have occurred or
arisen after the Effective Date of this Agreement, but
prior to such termination or voidance.  It is the intent
of the Parties that should this Agreement be terminated
or voided under Paragraph 19.03 above or any other
paragraph hereof , the satisfaction of any such
obligation and the provisions for indemnification and
limited liability of Article 14 above shall constitute a
separate agreement between the Parties that is severable
from this Agreement and, as such, shall remain in full
force and effect for actions that occurred prior to the
notice of termination or voidance of this Agreement.

19.05     Computation of Time.  In computing any period
of time prescribed or allowed by this Agreement, the day
of the act, event, or default from which the designated
period of time begins to run shall be excluded but the
last day of such period shall be included, unless it is a
Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which event the
period shall run until the end of the next business day
which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

19.06     Paragraph Headings Not to Affect Meaning.  The
descriptive headings of the Articles and paragraphs of
this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only
and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms and
provisions thereof.

19.07     IMPA's Rights under the Joint Transmission
System Agreement.  IMPA through its rights in the Joint
Transmission System, shall be responsible for taking all
steps to pursue in good faith, its rights under the Joint
Transmission System Agreement, to satisfy IMPA's
responsibilities under this Agreement.

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                    EMERGENCY SERVICE

Under Interconnection Agreement dated August 19, 1994
between Indianapolis Power & Light Company and Indiana
Municipal Power Agency  (the "Agreement").

SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS

1.1  The meaning of the terms used herein shall be the
same as those used in this Agreement.

SECTION 2 - DURATION

2.1  This Service Schedule shall become effective as of
the Effective Date of this Agreement and shall continue
in effect throughout the duration of this Agreement.

SECTION 3 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

3.1  Conditional Service.  Subject to the provisions of
Subsection 3.2 of this Section 3, in the event of a
breakdown or other emergency in or on the system of
either Party involving either sources of power or
transmission facilities, or both, impairing or
jeopardizing the ability of the Party suffering the
emergency to meet the loads of its system, the other
Party shall deliver to such Party electric energy that it
is requested to deliver; provided, however, that neither
Party shall be obligated to deliver such energy which, in
its sole judgment, it cannot deliver without interposing
a hazard to or economic burden upon its operations or
without impairing or jeopardizing the other load
requirements of its system and provided further, that
neither Party shall be obligated to deliver electric
energy to the other for a period in excess of forty-eight
(48) consecutive hours during any single emergency.

3.2  Non-performance.  The Parties recognize that the
delivery of electric energy as provided in Subsection 3.1
of this Section 3 is subject to two conditions which may
preclude the delivery of such energy as so provided:  (a)
the Party requested to deliver electric energy may be
suffering an emergency in or on its own system as
described in said Subsection 3.1, or (b) the system of a
Party may be delivering electric energy, under a mutual
emergency interchange agreement, to the system of another
interconnected company which is suffering an emergency in
or on its system.  Under conditions as cited under (a)
above, neither Party shall be considered to be in default
hereunder if it is unable to comply with the provisions
of said Subsection 3.1.  Under conditions as cited under
(b) above, neither Party shall be considered to be in
default hereunder if it is unable to comply with the
provisions of said Subsection 3.1; provided, however,
that such Party shall make every effort consistent with
the terms of its contract with said other interconnected
company to make the electric energy as provided in
Subsection 3.1 available to the other Party hereto as
soon as possible.
3.3  Reserve Generating Capacity Review.  If at any time the
record over a reasonable prior period shows clearly that either
of the Parties has failed to deliver energy in accordance with
and subject to the provisions of Subsection 3.1, either Party by
written notice given to the other Party, may call for a joint
study by the Parties of the reserve generating capacity in and
provided for their respective systems and of their respective
transmission facilities affecting the supply and delivery of
power and energy under this Agreement.  It shall be the purpose
of such study to determine the adequacy or inadequacy of reserve
generating capacity and transmission facilities being provided to
meet the requirements of the Parties' respective systems,
reflecting obligations under this Agreement, and, if inadequate,
the extent of the burden that one Party may be placing upon the
other Party.  If it should be found that one Party is placing an
unreasonable burden upon the other, the Party causing such burden
shall take such measures as are necessary to remove the burden
from the other Party, or the Parties shall enter into such
arrangements as shall provide for equitable compensation to the
Party being burdened.

SECTION 4 - COMPENSATION

4.1  When IPL is the Supplying Party:

     4.11 Emergency Energy delivered that is generated by IPL
     shall be settled for, at the option of IPL, either by the
     return of equivalent energy at a mutually acceptable time
     upon request of IPL or by payment of the greater of (a) 110%
     of the Out-Of-Pocket Cost (such cost being as of the
     delivery point or points, as referred to in Article 5.0 of
     this Agreement, taking into account electrical losses

     Parties at the time of the transactions of up to 4.6 mills
     per kilowatt-hour (consisting of up to 3.6 mills per
     kilowatt-hour for bulk transmission charge plus 1 mill per
     kilowatt-hour for difficult to quantify energy-related
     costs),  plus any  transmission  losses resulting on IPL's
     system on account of the transaction, and plus any taxes
     incurred by IPL on account of the transaction.

4.2  When IMPA is the Supplying Party:

     4.21 Emergency Energy delivered that is generated by IMPA
     shall be settled for, at the option of IMPA, either by the
     return of equivalent energy at a mutually acceptable time

     Parties at the time of the transactions of up to 4.5 mills
     per kilowatt-hour (consisting of up to 3.5 mills per
     kilowatt-hour for bulk transmission charge plus 1 mill per
     kilowatt-hour for difficult to quantify energy-related
     costs), plus any transmission losses resulting on IMPA's
     system on account of the transaction, and plus any taxes
     incurred by IMPA on account of the transaction.

4.3  If the option of returning electric energy under Subsection
4.11 or 4.21 is exercised, then it shall be returned at times
when the load conditions of the Party receiving it are equivalent
to the load conditions of such  Party at the  time the energy for
which it is returned was delivered or, if such Party elects to
have equivalent energy returned under different conditions, it
shall be returned in such amounts, to be agreed upon by the
Operating Committee under this Agreement, as will compensate
either Party for the difference in conditions.

                       MODIFICATION NO. 1
                             TO THE
                   INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
                            BETWEEN
               INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
                              AND
                 INDIANA MUNICIPAL POWER AGENCY


THIS AMENDMENT made and entered into as of the 1st day of

January, 1995 by Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL"),

being an Amendment to the Interconnection Agreement between

Indiana Municipal Power Agency ("Buyer") and IPL dated August 19,

1994 (the "Agreement").


                          WITNESSETH:


WHEREAS, IPL and Indiana Municipal Power Agency entered into the

Agreement on August 19, 1994;



WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the sale of power and energy

by IPL under Service Schedules described as:

Service Schedule A                 Emergency Service

Service Schedule C                 Interchange Energy

Service Schedule D                 Short Term Power

Service Schedule E                 Limited Term Power



WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the recovery of

incremental costs or "out-of-pocket" costs occasioned by

the sale by IPL of electric energy;



WHEREAS, IPL has implemented its Emissions Constrained

Dispatch Plan, attached hereto;


WHEREAS, the rates for Emergency Service, Interchange

Energy, Short Term Power and Energy, and Limited Term

Power, do not expressly include the cost of replacing

sulfur dioxide ("SO2") emission allowances expended in

order to provide such energy in compliance with Federal

laws governing SO2 emission;



WHEREAS, IPL desires to amend the Agreement to clarify

recovery of out-of-pocket costs occasioned by the sale of

said energy as including the recovery of the incremental

cost of SO2 emission allowances;



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the

terms and conditions set forth herein; IPL desires to

amend the Agreement as follows:



Section 1.     Compensation for SO2 Emission Allowances.

The Buyer shall compensate IPL for the consumption of

Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Allowances ("SO2 Allowances")

directly attributed to electric energy sales by IPL to

Buyer under the Service Schedules.  Such compensation

shall, at Buyer's option, be made by either supplying IPL

with the number of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to

such energy sales, or by reimbursing IPL for the

incremental cost of such number of SO2 Allowances,

rounded to the nearest whole SO2 Allowance.



If Buyer opts to reimburse IPL in cash for SO2 Allowances

associated with Buyer's energy purchases for the month,

the cash amount due at billing will be determined by

multiplying the number of SO2 Allowances attributed to

the sale by the incremental cost of the SO2 Allowances,

as determined in Section 2.2, at the time of the sale.

If Buyer opts to reimburse IPL in SO2 Allowances, Buyer

will record or transfer to IPL's account, the number of

SO2 Allowances calculated below, at the time cash

settlement for the energy is due.  In all cases, Buyer

will transfer to IPL's account the number of SO2

Allowances due IPL for calendar year no later than

January 15 of the following year.  "Transfer to IPL's

account" shall mean, for purposes of the Amendment, the

transfer by the USEPA of the requisite number of SO2

Allowances to IPL's Allowance Tracking System account and

the receipt by IPL of the Allowance Transfer

Confirmation.



Section 2.     Determination of SO2 Emission Allowances

Due IPL.

     Section 2.1.   Number of SO2 Allowances

     The number of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to

     an energy sale made by IPL shall be determined for

     each hour, by determining the contribution from each

     of the unit(s) from which the energy sale is being

     made for that hour.  For each unit, the emission

     rate in pounds of SO2 per million Btu will be

     determined each month, from fuel sulfur content,

     control equipment performance, and continuous

     emissions monitoring data.  The emission rate and

     the unit heat rate will be used to determine the SO2

     Allowances used per megawatt-hour ("MWH").  The

     energy from each unit attributable to the sale, and

     the SO2 Allowances per MWH for each unit, will be

     used to determine the number of SO2 Allowances

     attributable to the sale.



     Section 2.2 .  Cost of SO2 Allowances

     The incremental SO2 Allowance cost used to determine

     economic dispatch of IPL's generating units in any

     month, will also be the basis used to determine

     compensation for IPL's energy sales.  The

     incremental SO2 Allowances cost, in dollars per ton

     of SO2, shall be determined each month and will be

     based on the Cantor Fitzgerald offer  price for SO2

     Allowances, or if such is not available, then

     another nationally recognized SO2 Allowance trading

     market price or market price index, at the beginning

     of the month.  The SO2 Allowance value may be

     changed at any time during the month to reflect the

     more current incremental cost, or market price, for

     SO2 Allowances.  Buyer will be notified of the new

     SO2 Allowance value prior to dispatch of IPL energy

     to Buyer.



Section 3.     Effective Date.

This Amendment to the Agreement shall be made effective

as of January 1, 1995.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, IPL has caused the foregoing

Amendment to be signed by its duly authorized officer,

effective as of the date set forth above.

           INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY


                           AND


             INDIANA MUNICIPAL POWER AGENCY





                     Effective as of

                   MODIFICATION NO. 2
                         TO THE
                INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
                         BETWEEN
           INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
                           AND
             INDIANA MUNICIPAL POWER AGENCY



     Pursuant to Order No. 888, Indianapolis Power &
Light Company (IPL) restates the rates for service
provided by IPL under the Interconnection Agreement as
the following:

1)   The Interconnection Agreement provides for IPL sales
of capacity and energy under service schedules described
as:

            Service Schedule A - Emergency Service
            Service Schedule B - Interchange Energy
            Service Schedule C - Short Term Power
            Service Schedule D - Limited Term Power

2)   The wholesale generation component of the rate
applicable to service under these Service Schedules shall
be the bundled rate minus the transmission and ancillary
service rates provided in Section 3 of this Modification.

     Where the Service Schedules provide for compensation
to IPL in the form of equivalent energy, such return of
equivalent energy shall be made of the generation
component, with the transmission and ancillary services
related to such return of equivalent energy arranged
pursuant to and assessed as provided in Section 3 of this
Modification.

3)   Transmission and ancillary services necessary to
  effectuate sales under the Interconnection Agreement
  shall be arranged by IPL under and subject to the rates,
  terms, and conditions of IPL's Open Access Transmission
  Tariff.  The rates for point-to-point transmission
  service and the two ancillary services necessary to
  effectuate sales under the Interconnection Agreement are
  provided below.  IPL will provide either Short-Term Firm
  Point-to-Point or Non-Firm Point-to-Point transmission
  service and ancillary services for Scheduling, System
  Control and Dispatch Service (Scheduling Service), and
  Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation
  Sources Service (Reactive Supply Service).  IPL will not
  provide Regulation and Frequency Response Service, Energy
  Imbalance Service, Operating Reserve-Spinning Reserve
  Service, or Operating Reserve-Supplemental Reserve
  Service in connection with the sales under the
  Interconnection Agreement, and there will be no charge
  for such services in connection with the sales under the
  Interconnection Agreement.

     The rates for both Short-Term Firm and Non-Firm
Point-to-Point Service are:  $ 930.00/MW of reserved
capacity for monthly service, $215.00/MW of reserved
capacity for weekly service, $43.00/MW of reserved
capacity for on-peak daily service, and $30.70/MW of
reserved capacity for off-peak daily service, with the
daily service capacity charges capped at the weekly
rates.  Non-Firm Point-to-Point service is available on
an hourly basis at $2.69/MW for on-peak hours and
$1.28/MWH for off-peak hours with the maximum hourly
charges capped at the daily rates.

     For Scheduling Service, the monthly rate is
$10.00/MW of reservation, the weekly rate is $3.00/MW,
the daily rate is $0.60/MW, and the hourly rate is
$0.04/MWH.  The sum of the hourly charges is capped at
the daily rate, the sum of the daily charges is capped at
the weekly rate, and the sum of the weekly charges is
capped at the monthly rate.

     For Reactive Supply Service, the monthly rate is
$110.00/MW of reservation, the weekly rate is $25.00/MW,
the daily rate is $5.00/MW, and the hourly rate is
$0.31/MWH.  The sum of the hourly charges is capped at
the daily rate, the sum of the daily charges is capped at
the weekly rate, and the sum of the weekly charges is
capped at the monthly rate.

     If transmission and ancillary services are obtained
by Indiana Municipal Power Agency under Indianapolis
Power & Light Company's Open Access Transmission Tariff,
there will be no charge related to transmission and
ancillary service assessed under the Interconnection
Agreement.  A service agreement under Indianapolis Power
& Light Company's Open Access Transmission Tariff is on
file as of the effective date of this Modification No. 2
to govern transmission service to Indiana Municipal Power
Agency for power sales, and charges for transmission and
ancillary services for any power sale will be assessed to
Indiana Municipal Power Agency under the Open Access
Transmission Tariff.
