that it owns or has the right to use the transmission, substation and
metering facilities and equipment necessary to implement and carry out
fully all the provisions, terms and conditions of this 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 power; or
2.05.3 Abandonment. 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 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

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

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 copied at such other Party's expense.
6.02 Statements. As promptly as practicable after the end of each calendar

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.

EXHIBIT I
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
incurred from the source or sources of such energy to the delivery
point or points) of supplying such energy, or (b) $0.10 per
kilowatt-hour.
4.12 Emergency Energy delivered that is purchased by IPL from a
third party shall be settled for by payment of an energy charge of
100% of the Out-Of-Pocket Cost paid therefor by IPL, plus an amount
to be agreed upon by the 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 upon request of IMPA
or by payment of the great 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 incurred from the source or sources of such energy to the
delivery point or points) of supplying such energy, or (b) $0.10
per kilowatt-hour.
4.22 Emergency Energy delivered that is purchased by IMPA from a
third party shall be settled for by payment of an energy charge of
100% of the Out-Of-Pocket Cost paid therefor by IMPA, plus an amount
to be agreed upon by the 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.
EXHIBIT II
SERVICE SCHEDULE B
INTERCHANGE ENERGY
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 Economy Energy. Either Party may arrange to purchase from the other
Party electrical energy ("Economy Energy") when it is possible to effect a
savings 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 receipt of such 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 (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. Prior to any
transaction involving the delivery and receipt of Economy Energy, authorized
representataives 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.
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 this
Agreement ("Third Party"), payment 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 allocated 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 the following:
(1) When IPL is such transmitting Party: Fifteen
percent of the gross savings remaining after
deducting all such payments for transmission losses.
(2) When IMPA is such transmitting Party: Fifteen
percent of the gross savings remaining after deducting
all such payments for transmission losses.
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 shall be settled for either
by the return of equivalent Energy or, at the option of the supplying Party,
by payment of an energy charge of up to 110% of the Out-of-Pocket Costs
(such cost being as of the delivery point or points, as provided in Article
5 of this Agreement, taking account the 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:
4.31 When IPL is the supplying Party:
4.31.1 IPL at its option, may impose a demand charge of up
to 48.6 mills per kilowatthour reserved per hour, but the
total 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,
4.31.2 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 picked, 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 Paragraph 5.01.1 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 generating
such energy.
4.31.3 If equivalent energy is returned by IMPA, it shall be
returned at times when the load conditions of IPL are
equivalent to the load conditions of IPL at the time the
energy for which it is returned was delivered or, if IPL
elects to have equivalent energy returned under different
conditions, it shall be returned in such amount, to be
agreed upon by the operating Committee, as will compensate
for the difference in conditions.
4.32 When IMPA is the supplying Party:
4.32.1 IMPA at its option may impose a demand charge of up
to 43.5 mills per kilowatthour reserved per hour, but the
total charge in any one day shall be no more than the
product of $0.696 times the highest amount in kilowatts
reserved in any hour during the day, or
4.32.2 IMPA, 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 picked, 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 Paragraph
5.01.1 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
Partyh generating such energy.
4.32.3 If equivalent energy is returned by IPL, it shall be
returned at times when the load conditions of IMPA are
equivalent to the load conditions of IMPA at the time the
energy for which it is returned was delivered or, if IMPA
elects to have equivalent energy returned under different
conditions, it shall be returned in such amount, to be agreed
upon by the Operating Committee, as will compensate for the
difference in conditions.
4.4 Non-Displacmeent Energy delivered under Section 3.2 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:
4.41 When IPL is the supplying Party, by a payment of 100% of the
amount paid 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 kilowatthour (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.
4.42 When IMPA is the supplying Party, by a payment of 100% of
the amount paid such Third Party, plus a demand charge in an amount
to be agreed upon by the Parties at the time of the resrevation of
up to 3.5 mills per kilowatt reserved per hour, but the total demand
charge in any one day shall be no more than the product of $0.055
times the highest amount in kilowatts reserved in any hour during
the day, plus 1 mill per kilowatthour (for difficult to quantify
energy-related costs), plus the cost of any quantiable transmission
losses, taxes, and other expenses incurred that would not have been
incurred if such transaction had not been made.
4.5 Notwithstanding the rates stated in Subsection 4.3 above when IPL is the
supplying Party, if the "demand charge" option of Subsection 4.31.1 is
chosen, the sum of demand and energy charges for each specific reservation
made pursuant to Subsection 3.2 of this Service Schedule shall not:
4.51 exceed the total of:
4.51.1 The product of the number of kilowatts reserved for
such reservation times the maximum hourly demand charge
specified above in Subsection 4.3; and
4.51.2 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
4.52 be less than 100% of the total Out-of-Pocket Cost of
supplying the Non-Displacement Energy for each reservation.
4.6 Notwithstanding the rates stated in Subsection 4.3 above when IMPA is
the supplying Party, if the "demand charge" option of Subsection 4.31.1 is

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 Either Party, by giving the other Party notice, may reserve from the
other (a) electric power ("Weekly Short Term Power") for period 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 claendar 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 agreed 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.
3.11 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 which is not a signatory to this
Agreement ("Third party"), shall be determined by the Parties.
Such reservation 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,
such Party may by oral notice to the reserving Party, such oral
notice to be later confirmed in writing if requested by either
Party 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, reduce the number of kilowatts
reserved by such amount and for such time as it shall specify in

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 B Interchange Energy
Service Schedule C Short Term Power
Service Schedule D 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
Emission 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 in 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.

Resource Planning and Rates
EMISSIONS CONSTRAINED DISPATCH PLAN
Effective January 1, 1995
Economic Dispatch is loading each generating unit so the lowest cost
generation is called upon first to generate the power needed, thereby
minimizing total electric energy generation cost. Emissions Constrained
Dispatch is simply Economic Dispatch where the estimated value of the
SO2 allowances being consumed by a unit is included as a part of the
unit's cost of generation. A lower emitting unit will reflect a
relatively lower emissions cost because it requires fewer sulfur dioxide
(SO2) allowances.
IPL's plan to implement Emissions Constrained Dispatch is to incorporate
SO2 allowance values into the existing Energy Management System (load
dispatching system), which economically dispatches IPL's generation. As
the generation required (load) increases, the available unit with the
lowest incremental cost is dispatched to meet the increase. As the
generation demanded decreases, the unit with the highest incremental cost
is dispatched to reduce its generation, thereby minimizing cost.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 capacility 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,
$/Allownace; Incremental Cost, $/MWH
The dispatch made using the total incremental cost, including SO2 emissions
related costs, will constitute IPL's Emissions Constrained Dispatch.
