Deliveries and Definitions
1.01 Deliveries. Electric energy exchanges between the
Parties shall be three-phase, sixty-hertz energy, delivered at
nominal voltages and Points of Delivery, utilizing facilities
which each Party may furnish, own, contract for, operate and
maintain as may be agreed upon from time to time. Such energy
exchanges shall be in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. All power and energy deliveries between the Parties
shall be made at Points of Delivery defined herein.
1.02 Out-of-Pocket Cost (OPC), shall include the cost of
fuel, operation and maintenance, environmental (including, but
not limited to, the cost of SO2 Emission Allowances as identified
in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990), unit start-up, taxes,
losses and other expenses incurred that would not have been
incurred if the energy had not been supplied.
1.03 General Purpose Energy is surplus non-firm energy that
is available subject to the supplying Party's discretion at the
time an energy schedule is contemplated by the Parties. Daily
General Purpose Energy is General Purpose Energy that may be
arranged to provide the supply of electricity for one or more
days. Hourly General Purpose Energy may be arranged to provide
the supply of electricity scheduled hour-to-hour.
1.04 Negotiated Capacity is capacity and associated energy
which one Party may purchase from the other Party for the purpose
of obtaining a supply of power during the period covered by a
commitment. It is intended to provide both Parties with a wide
range of flexibility in structuring transactions which are
mutually beneficial, including negotiable degrees of firmness,
variable capacity charges and variable time durations.
1.05 Points of Delivery are the points of interconnection
between IPL and an interconnected electric system at which IPL
will receive from and/or deliver energy to, or on behalf of, EPMI
under the terms of this Agreement and as specified at the time of
each transaction.

transactions shall be made at rates described in Exhibit A (IPL
Rates for Sale of General Purpose Energy and Negotiated Capacity
to EPMI) and Exhibit C (EPMI Rates for Sale of General Purpose
Energy and Negotiated Capacity to IPL) attached hereto and made a
part hereof. Prior to implementation of a transaction, the
purchasing Party must declare whether it will pay in cash or
return SO2 Allowances in-kind for the consumption of SO2
Allowances directly attributed to such Transaction, if any.
2.02 Transmission Arrangements. All arrangements for
third party transmission service required to deliver or receive
energy at the delivery points defined in Section 1.05 will be
made by EPMI. Compensation for such third-party transmission
service, if any, and compensation for line losses related to such
service shall be paid for by the purchasing Party, unless
otherwise agreed.
2.03 Implementation. The purchasing Party may propose a
General Purpose Energy transaction by requesting the other Party
to indicate the amounts of energy available, duration of the
transaction, minimum time before cancellation, price of such
energy. The Parties will then determine the economics of such
transaction, including all transmission charges and loss
compensation prior to mutual implementation.
In the event of an emergency or change in the operating
condition of the supplying Party's source of power which makes
the continued provisions of the General Purpose Energy
transaction uneconomical for the supplying Party, the supplying
Party shall be under no obligation to continue the supply of
General Purpose Energy for more than three (3) hours after it has
notified the purchasing Party of its intention to discontinue
such supply unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by both Parties
at the start of the scheduled delivery of General Purpose Energy.
Upon notice from the supplying Party of its intent to discontinue
service, the purchasing Party will use its best efforts to
release the supplying Party from any obligation of continuing the
supply of General Purpose Energy as soon as possible within the
three (3) hour, or previously agreed to, notification period.
2.04 Reliability. General Purpose Energy shall not be
scheduled in amounts which will overload any transmission
facilities or endanger the operation of the interconnected
systems.

billing demand for any period shall be taken as equal to the
number of megawatts reserved for such period of Negotiated
Capacity, regardless of whether any associated energy is
scheduled or taken by the purchasing Party. Also, prior to
implementation of a transaction, the purchasing Party must
declare whether it will pay in cash or return SO2 Allowances in-
kind for the consumption of SO2 Allowances directly attributed to
such Transaction, if any.
3.02 Transmission Arrangements and Compensation. All
arrangements for third party transmission service required to
deliver or receive energy at the delivery points defined in
Section 1.05 will be made by EPMI. Compensation for such third-
party transmission service, if any, and compensation for line
losses related to such service shall be paid for by the
purchasing Party, unless otherwise agreed.

Capacity shall be mutually agreed upon by both Parties at the
time the power is reserved.
3.04 Scheduling. During the period that Negotiated
Capacity has been reserved, it shall be the responsibility of the
purchasing Party to schedule in advance the deliveries of energy
associated therewith in accordance with the agreement of the
Parties at the time the capacity is reserved. Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.01 and 3.02 the supplying Party shall
deliver such energy in amounts up to and including the number of
megawatts reserved. EPMI, all entities providing transmission
service, if any, and IPL shall confirm and agree upon all
schedules of energy prior to the initiation of service.
3.05 Reduction of Demand. Subject to the provisions
established in Section 3.02, the supplying Party may, upon notice
reduce or discontinue the supply of power and energy. In the
event the power taken is reduced upon the request of the
supplying Party, the demand charge shall be reduced to reflect
such reduction. If the reservation is daily, the demand charge
per kilowatt for each day during which any such reduction is in
effect shall be reduced by the daily demand rate per kilowatt of
the reduction. For a weekly transaction, the demand charge for
each day (other that Sunday) shall be reduced by one-sixth (1/6)
of the Supplying Party's weekly demand rate per kilowatt for each
kilowatt of reduction up to a maximum reduction of the total
demand charge for the week. For transactions that are longer

IPL Recovery of the Incremental Cost of SO2 Emission Allowances
as Included in Section 1.02 of Article I, Deliveries and Definitions
of this Interchange Agreement
Section 1. - Compensation for SO2 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 this Agreement.
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 the calendar year no later
than January 15 of the following year. "Transfer to IPL's
account" shall mean, for the purposes of this section, 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 Allowances Due IPL
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.

as Included in Section 1.02 of Article I, Deliveries and Definitions
of this Interchange Agreement
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
Xxxxxxxxxx offer price for SO2 Allowances, or if such is not
available, then another nationally recognized SO2 Allowance
trading 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.
