__________________________
* Indicates information that has been filed separately with the Secretary of 
the Commission as an attachment to a request for confidentiality with respect 
to the omitted information.




          4.3.1     AVAILABILITY OF NUCLEAR OPC RESOURCES.  (a) The EPMI
     Sales Price has been computed based upon certain assumptions relating
     to the expected availability of the nuclear OPC Resources during the
     four-month period commencing May 1, 1996 and ending on the Termination
     Date.  Such price assumes (i) expected cumulative availability
     (measured in MWh) of [        ]* for Plant Hatch (Units 1 and 2
     combined) and [        ]* for Plant Vogtle (Units 1 and 2 combined)
     and (ii) target cumulative availability (measured in MWh) of [       
     ]* for Plant Hatch (Units 1 and 2 combined) and [         ]* for Plant
     Vogtle (Units 1 and 2 combined), in each case for such period, as
     reflected on Exhibit 4.3.1 hereof.  Adjustments to the amounts
     otherwise due to EPMI or OPC shall be made to reflect and take into
     account (i) the amount that the actual availability of Plant Hatch and
     Plant Vogtle, respectively, is less than the expected availability of
     such nuclear OPC Resources and (ii) the amount that the actual
     availability of Plant Hatch and Plant Vogtle, respectively, exceeds
     the target availability of such nuclear OPC Resources.  If Plant Hatch
     or Plant Vogtle generates Electric Energy in excess of the target MWh
     availability, additional amounts (as described below) shall be payable
     by EPMI to OPC.  Alternatively, if Plant Hatch or Plant Vogtle
     generates Electric Energy less than the expected MWh availability,
     then OPC shall owe additional amounts (as described below) to EPMI.

          (b)  If the total actual OPC nuclear generation (in MWh) ("Total
     Actual OPC Nuclear Generation") for Plant Hatch or Plant Vogtle,
     respectively, shall exceed the total target OPC nuclear generation (in
     MWh) ("Total Target OPC Nuclear Generation") for the respective
     generation facilities ("Excess Generation"), then EPMI shall pay to
     OPC an amount equal to the product of:  (i) the amount of such Excess
     Generation and (ii) [        ]* if the nuclear OPC Resource that shall
     have experienced Excess Generation is Plant Hatch and [        ]* if
     the nuclear OPC Resource that shall have experienced Excess Generation
     is Plant Vogtle.  If the Total Actual OPC Nuclear Generation for Plant
     Hatch or Plant Vogtle is less than the total expected OPC nuclear
     generation (in MWh) ("Total Expected OPC Nuclear Generation") for the
     respective plants ("Generation Shortfall"), regardless of whether the
     Generation Shortfall results from or is the result of a scheduled or
     forced outage, a limited load operating condition or other event or
     condition that adversely affects the availability of such nuclear OPC
     Resource, then OPC shall pay to EPMI an amount equal to the product
     of:  (i) the Generation Shortfall and (ii) [        ]* if the nuclear
     OPC Resource that shall have suffered a Generation Shortfall is Plant
     Hatch and [        ]* if the nuclear OPC Resource that shall have
     suffered a Generation Shortfall is Plant Vogtle.

          (c)  The Total Actual OPC Nuclear Generation for Plant Hatch and
     Plant Vogtle shall be compared to Total Target OPC Nuclear Generation
     and Total Expected OPC Nuclear Generation, respectively, for the Plant
     Hatch and Plant Vogtle, respectively, computed on a cumulative basis
     from the Extension Commencement Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that as set
     forth on Exhibit 4.3.1 hereof, the amount by which Total Actual OPC
     Nuclear Generation is less than Total Expected Nuclear Generation and
     the amount by which Total Actual OPC Nuclear

the Commission as an attachment to a request for confidentiality with respect 
to the omitted information.





      Generation exceeds Total Target OPC Nuclear Generation shall be 
      compared at the end of each month during the four-month period 
      commencing on the Extension Commencement Date and ending on the 
      Termination Date and shall be settled financially between OPC and 
      EPMI on a monthly basis.

          (d)  Exhibit 4.3.1 sets forth the intended operation of this
     Section 4.3.1, reflecting possible variances in availability (in MWh)
     on a month-to-month basis, resulting in payments between the Parties
     on account of Excess Generation in certain months and Generation
     Shortfalls in others.

          (e)  It is expressly agreed that any payments payable under Section
     4.3.1, as such section read in the Original Master Agreement, and not 
     paid on or before the Extension Commencement Date, shall remain payable 
     and shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.3.1 as such section read 
     in the Original Master Agreement.

     6.   Section 4.3.3 of the Original Master Agreement shall not be
applicable, and a new Section 4.3.3, which shall be applicable, shall be added
and shall read as follows:

          [                                                                 
                                             ]*  

     7.   Section 4.3.4 of the Original Master Agreement shall be modified by
adding a new sentence after the third sentence of Section 4.3.4, which shall
read as follows:


          At the end of the Term, EPMI shall use its good faith efforts to
     cause the water level in the upper reservoir of Rocky Mountain to be
     approximately the same water level as the water level that existed in
     the upper reservoir of Rocky Mountain on the Commencement Date.

     8.   Section 4.3.5 of the Original Master Agreement shall cease to be
applicable.

     9.   Article 5 of the Original Master Agreement shall be modified by adding
a new Section 5.6, which shall be applicable and shall read as follows:

     5.6  FEBRUARY CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT; AUTHORIZATION TO USE
  INFORMATION.  OPC expressly authorizes and grants its consent to EPMI to
  use New Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the February
  Confidentiality Agreement), whether acquired before or after the Effective
  Date, pertaining to, without limitation, OPC, OPC Resources, OPC Load, OPC
  Off-System Sales and the EMCs, for the purpose of exercising EPMI's rights
  under this Agreement, including EPMI's right to buy Electric Energy from
  OPC or any other person and to sell Electric Energy to OPC or any other
  person, whether Electric Energy is produced by or attributable to OPC
  Resources or other resources.

     10.  The definition of "ITS Loss Factor" as set forth in Appendix A to the
Original Master Agreement shall not be applicable and a new definition, which
shall be applicable, shall be added by deleting the term "4.1931%" and
substituting in lieu thereof the term "3.7271%".

     11.  Exhibits 3.2, 3.5, 3.5.2, 3.5.3(ii), 3.5.3(iii), and 4.3.1 to the

3.5.2, 3.5.3(ii), 3.5.3(iii), and 4.3.1, respectively to this Extension
Agreement shall be added in lieu thereof. 

     12.  Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3.3 to the Original Master Agreement shall cease to
be applicable.

                                   ARTICLE IV.
