    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:

        1.  Service Schedule A - Emergency Service

                       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

                  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 1.03

hereof, at a nominal voltage of 138,000 volts and at such

other points and voltages as may be agreed upon by the

parties 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 or

points by the party in each case, as provided below:

       4.021  At the Interconnection Point specified in

    Section 1.03 above, by 138,000 volt metering

    equipment to be installed, owned and maintained by

    Indianapolis Company; and

       4.022  At such other points as may be hereafter

    agreed upon, such equipment at each such other

    metering point to have such voltage rating and to be

    installed under such arrangement with respect to

    ownership and maintenance thereof as the parties

    mutually determine.

Metering

    4.03  Suitable metering equipment at the metering

points as 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:  (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.

    4.04  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 4.02 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 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.

                       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 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

such detail and with such segregations as may be needed

for operating records or for settlements under the

provision of this agreement.

                   SERVICE SCHEDULE A

                   EMERGENCY SERVICE

              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  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 such electric

energy as 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 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 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 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

                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.

                   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.

         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.

         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.

              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 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

    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 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.

         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 June 1, 1980 or

at such later date as is practicable under applicable

regulations or orders of the Federal Energy Regulatory

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, $4.50 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 $0.15 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.

    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.

Agreement (herein called the "Agreement"), dated as of

SECTION 2 - SERVICES TO BE RENDERED

    2.1  Either party by giving the other party notice

may reserve for periods of one or more days or weeks,

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.  As used herein, the term "week" shall mean any

seven consecutive days.

       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

    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 that the other party reduce its take of

    such energy to the lesser amount specified 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

       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 party 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 costs 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

    therefor by the supplying party plus 10% thereof,

    but not to exceed (a) 1.6 mills per kilowatt-hour if

    Indianapolis Company is the supplying party, or (b)

    2.1 mills per kilowatt-hour if Southern Indiana

    Company is the supplying party.

                Under Agreement 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 (herein called 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, 1982 or at such later date as is

practicable under applicable regulations or orders of the

Federal Energy Regulatory 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 powers 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 will make electric power available for

reservation 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  The reserving party shall pay the supplying

party:

    3.11  For any month that Limited Term Power (Firm)

    is reserved, $5.50 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 $0.185 per

    kilowatt of reduction for each day during which any

    reduction is in effect.  However, such reduction

    shall not exceed $5.50 per kilowatt-month; plus

    3.12  110% of the out-of-pocket costs of supplying

    the Limited Term Energy (Firm) 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 Limited Term Energy (Firm) taken

    during such reservation periods, 100% of the amount

    paid therefor by the supplying party plus 10%

    thereof, but not to exceed (a) 1.6 mills per

    kilowatt-hour if Indianapolis Company is the

    supplying party, or (b) 2.1 mills per kilowatt-hour

    if Southern Indiana Company is the supplying party.

       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
       agreement have been fulfilled.

and by deleting Section 9.03 in its entirety.

    1.03  Article 18 is hereby added to the 1968
Agreement to read as follows:

                      "ARTICLE 18

                        "DEFAULT

                   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

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.

         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.

plus "one mill per kilowatt-hour for difficult to quantify energy
related costs."  Service Schedule C is hereby be revised to
remove the term "one mill per kilowatt-hour for difficult to
quantify energy related costs."

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

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, 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 charges are $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 rates, 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 charges are
$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 rates, 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
Southern Indiana Gas & Electric Company 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. 10 to govern service to Southern Indiana Gas & Electric
Company for this power sale, and charges for transmission and
ancillary services for this power sale will be assessed to
Southern Indiana Gas & Electric Company under the Open Access
Transmission Tariff.
