Section 7.2 Delivery of Distributions.

The Disbursing Agent will make any distribution to Holders of an Allowed Bond Claims to the Bond Trustee for subsequent distribution to the Holders of the Bond Claims as of the Distribution Record Date in accordance with the Bond Indenture and Mortgage; provided, however, that distributions being made pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(iii) of the Debtor's Plan in respect of the FGIC Cure Amount Claim shall be paid directly to FGIC.

(b) Forfeiture.

Section 7.7 Distribution Record Date.

(a) Allowed Claims (other than the Bond Claims) and Allowed Preferred Interests.

Section 8.1 Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases to Be Rejected or Assumed.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in the Debtor's Plan or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Debtor's Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is listed on Plan Exhibit 8.1 will be deemed rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Order will constitute an Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving each such rejection, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that, with the exception of the FGIC Insurance Agreements, the ISES PPA, the RB 30 PPA, the WBL PPA, the UPSA, and that certain Master Leasing Agreement by and between BLC Corporation and ENOI, dated as of December 1, 1983, as amended and supplemented (each of which will be assumed on the Effective Date), at any time before March 1, 2007, the Debtor reserves the right to amend Plan Exhibit 8.1 to (i) delete any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease listed therein, thus providing for its assumption pursuant to Article VIII of this Plan, or (ii) add any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease thereto, thus providing for its rejection pursuant to this Section 8.1 of the Debtor's Plan. The Debtor will provide notice of any amendments to Plan Exhibit 8.1 to the Creditors' Committee and the parties to the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases affected thereby. Such notice be sent by overnight delivery or telecopy, and will include a Ballot and a form for Filing a Proof of Claim. Any Claims arising from cure amounts required to be paid in connection with the assumption of Executory Contracts with Affiliates or Unexpired Leases with Affiliates which are not Cure Amount Claims will be treated as Intercompany Claims in Section in 5.6 of the Debtor's Plan.

(b) Approval of Assumptions. The Confirmation Order will constitute an Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption of each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that is not rejected pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Debtor's Plan, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. An Order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or before the Confirmation Date will specify the procedures for providing notice to each party whose Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is being assumed pursuant to the Debtor's Plan of: (i) the contract or lease being assumed; (ii) the Cure Amount Claim, if any, that the Debtor believes it would be obligated to pay in connection with such assumption; and (iii) the procedures for such party to object to the assumption of the applicable contract or lease or the amount of the proposed Cure Amount Claim.

Section 8.2 Payments Related to the Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. To the extent that such Claims constitute monetary defaults, the Cure Amount Claims associated with each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Debtor's Plan will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor: (a) by payment of the Cure Amount Claim in Cash on the Effective Date; or (b) on such other terms as are agreed to by the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. If
there is a dispute regarding the amount of any Cure Amount Claim, or any other matter pertaining to assumption of such contract or lease, the payment of any Cure Amount Claim required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption.

Section 8.3 Bar Date for Rejection Damages. Notwithstanding anything in the Bar Date Order to the contrary, if the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Article VIII of this Plan gives rise to a Claim by the other party or parties to such contract or lease, such Claim will be forever barred and will not be enforceable against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the successor of any of them, or the property of any of them, unless a request for payment of Administrative Claim is Filed and served on the Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Procedures Order, the notice of the entry of the Confirmation Order, or another Order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on the Docket within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

Section 8.4 Obligations to Indemnify Directors, Officers and Employees. The obligations of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to indemnify any person who is serving or has served as one of its directors, officers or employees by reason of such person's prior or future service in such a capacity or as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership or other legal entity, to the extent provided in the applicable certificates of incorporation or bylaws, by statutory law or by written agreement, policies or procedures of or with the Debtor, will be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Debtor's Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations will survive and be unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order, irrespective of whether such indemnification is owed for an act or event occurring before, on or after the Petition Date.

Section 8.5 Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date. Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by the Debtor, including any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases assumed by the Debtor, will be performed by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

Section 8.6 Insurance Policies and Agreements.

(a) Assumed Insurance Policies and Agreements. To the extent that the insurance policies issued to, or insurance agreements entered into by, the Debtor before the Petition Date constitute executory contracts under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, then, notwithstanding anything contained in Article VIII to the contrary, the Debtor's Plan will constitute a motion to assume such insurance policies and agreements, and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor, its estate, and all parties in interest in the Bankruptcy Case. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3(b) of the Debtor's Plan with respect to the FGIC Cure Amount Claim, unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto before the Effective Date, no payments are required to cure any defaults of the Debtor existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy or agreement.

(b) Reservation of Rights. Except for the releases set forth in Section 10.3(b) of the Debtor's Plan, nothing contained in the Debtor's Plan will constitute a waiver of any claim, right or Cause of Action that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may hold against an insurer under
any policy of insurance or insurance agreement.

Section 8.7 Assumption of the Bonds, the Bond Indenture and Mortgage, and the FGIC Insurance Agreements. To the extent that the Bonds, the Bond Indenture and Mortgage, and the FGIC Insurance Agreements are executory contracts within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, then, notwithstanding anything contained in Article VIII of the Debtor's Plan to the contrary, the Debtor's Plan will constitute a motion to assume the foregoing (as applicable). Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order on the Docket will (a) constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor, its estate, and all parties in interest in the Bankruptcy Case, and (c) a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that each of the Bonds and the Bond Indenture and Mortgage and the FGIC Insurance Agreements are deemed assumed by the Debtor as of the Effective Date; provided, however, (a) that the payment of the FGIC Cure Amount Claim and the Allowed FGIC Professional Fee Claim shall constitute the cure of any default under the FGIC Insurance Agreements, such that no additional Cure Amount Claim shall exist with respect to the assumption of the FGIC Insurance Agreements, and (b) that the treatment provided under the Debtor's Plan in respect of the Bond Claims, Bond Trustee's Professional Fee Claims and the Bond Trustee's Claim shall constitute the cure of any default under the Bonds and the Bond Indenture and Mortgage, such that no additional Cure Amount Claim shall exist with respect to the assumption of the Bonds and the Bond Indenture and Mortgage.

Section 8.8 Compensation and Benefit Programs. Except as otherwise provided in a motion Filed before the Effective Date, all employment plans, practices, programs and policies maintained by the Debtor as of the Effective Date shall remain in full force and effect following the Effective Date, subject to any and all rights of the Debtor under applicable non-bankruptcy law to amend or terminate such plans, practices, programs and policies.

Section 8.9 Retiree Benefits. Payment of any Retiree Benefits (as such benefits existed on the Petition Date) shall be continued solely to the extent, and for the duration of the period, that the Debtor is contractually or legally obligated to provide such benefits, subject to any and all rights of the
Debtor under applicable law (including, without limitation, the Debtor's right to amend or terminate such Retiree Benefits before or after the Effective Date).

the debtor and debtor-in-possession

For value received, the undersigned, Entergy New Orleans, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, (the "Debtor"), promises to pay to the order of [Name of Affiliate] ("Payee") at its account at the office of Capital One Bank, 313 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, Louisiana (the "Bank") or such other account or bank that Payee shall notify Debtor in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of ________________________ [amount of Allowed Claim plus accrued interest pursuant to the Fourth Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization for Entergy New Orleans, Inc., as Modified, Dated May _, 2007, through May __, 2007, the Effective Date of the Debtor's Plan], payable on the third anniversary of this Note (the "Maturity Date").

Interest shall accrue on the principal amount hereof at the following per annum rates: from the date of this Note through December 31, 2007, at ten and one half percent (10.5%); and from January 1, 2008, until paid in full, at the Louisiana judicial interest rate plus one percent (1%). Past due amounts of principal and interest shall accrue interest at the Louisiana judicial interest rate plus three percent (3%). The Debtor promises to pay accrued interest on a quarterly basis to Payee at its account at said office of the Bank, or such other account or bank that Payee shall notify Debtor in writing, on the first banking day of each of March, June, September and December and on the date on which the amounts hereunder become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date or such sooner date as this Note may become due and payable hereunder.

In case this Note should be placed in the hands of an attorney to institute legal proceedings to recover the amount hereof or any part hereof, in principal or interest, or to protect the interests of the holder or holders hereof, or in case the same should be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, compromise or other action, the Debtor binds itself to pay the reasonable fee of the attorney who may be employed for that purpose.

The Debtor hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-payment, protest and all pleas of division and discussion. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder shall operate as a waiver of such rights. Notwithstanding any terms of this Note to the contrary, however, both Debtor and Payee and its successors and assigns, explicitly waive any right of set-off and/or mutual compensation.

The principal amount and accrued interest of this Note may not be prepaid, in whole or in part at any time prior to the Maturity Date, except at the Debtor's option, upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of Debtor's distribution assets, in which case the principal amount and accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable upon such disposition.

In the event that Debtor fails to pay interest on the principal amount within ten (10) Business Days after the same becomes due and payable, then the Payee by written notice to Debtor has the right to declare the principal amount and all interest thereon to be immediately due and payable, whereupon such principal amount, all such interest and all default interest shall become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Debtor. The principal amount and all interest thereon shall become automatically due and payable without further notice or action of any kind immediately upon the filing of a petition for relief under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code for the Debtor.

Without the prior written consent of both The Bank of New York, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee, and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, none of the following provisions of the Note may be modified or amended: (a) any provision governing the maturity of the Note; (b) any provision governing the prepayment of any amount owed on the Note; (c) any provision governing the interest rates applicable to the Note; or (d) any provision related to the Debtor or Payor's rights of set-off and/or mutual compensation.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Louisiana.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Note to be executed by its officer hereunto duly authorized.

ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, INC.

FIRST: The name of the Corporation shall be "ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, INC.", and said Corporation shall have, possess and exercise all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and franchises of the corporations, parties hereto, and shall be subject to all the duties and obligations of said respective corporations; it shall have, enjoy and be possessed of all of the property, real, personal and mixed, of every kind and nature, owned, possessed and enjoyed by or for said corporations, parties hereto; it shall have power to issue bonds and dispose of the same, in such form and denominations and bearing such interest as the Board of Directors may determine, and to secure payment thereof by mortgage of every and all of the property, franchises, rights, privileges and immunities of said Corporation at the time of the consolidation acquired or thereafter to be acquired and of the companies, parties hereto; to do all acts and things which said companies so consolidated or any of them might have done previous to said consolidation, and the further right to consolidate with any other street railway company, electric company or gas light company, or any other consolidated company.

SECOND: Said Corporation, "ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, INC.", under its said corporate name, shall have power and authority to have and enjoy perpetual corporate existence and succession from and after the date hereof; to contract, sue and be sued; to make and use a corporate seal and the same to break or alter at pleasure; to hold, receive, lease, purchase and convey, as well as mortgage, hypothecate and pledge property, real, personal and mixed, corporeal and incorporeal; to name and appoint such managers, agents, directors and officers as its business, interests or convenience may require; and to make and establish, as well as alter and amend from time to time such by-laws, rules and regulations for the proper conduct, management and regulation of the affairs of said Corporation as may be necessary and proper; and to have, possess and enjoy all rights, powers, privileges, franchises and immunities now or hereafter authorized by law.

THIRD: The Domicile of said Corporation shall be in the City of New Orleans, State of Louisiana, and all citations or other legal process shall be served upon those individuals as identified by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

FOURTH: The objects and purposes for which this Corporation is established to engage in any lawful activity for which corporations may be formed under the Business Corporation Law of Louisiana.

FIFTH: The amount of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be Seventy-seven Million Four Hundred Nine Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($77,409,800), together with the aggregate par value of capital stock issued after September 1, 1969, by this Corporation as hereinafter provided.

The total authorized number of shares of capital stock that may be issued by the Corporation shall be 10,347,798 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares shall have a par value of $4 per share and 347,798 shares shall have a par value of $l00 per share.

The shares of capital stock hereby authorized to be issued shall be divided among the following classes:

The term "preferred stock" as used herein shall include the 4-3/4% Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock and any other class of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends, distribution of assets, or in liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Except as otherwise in this Article FIFTH provided and to the extent not prohibited by law, the Corporation may acquire funds for, or otherwise effect, the redemption or purchase of any of its shares through the issuance or sale of any of its stocks, bonds, or other securities.

Stocks of the Corporation, whether authorized herein or upon any subsequent increase of the number of shares of capital stock, may be issued by the Board of Directors of the Corporation from time to time for such consideration permitted by law as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, and general authority to the Board of Directors so to fix such consideration is hereby and herein granted; provided, however, that stock having a par value may not be issued for less than the par value thereof; and provided further, that such consideration may be in the form of money paid, labor done, or property actually received by the Corporation.

No holder of any stock of the Corporation shall be entitled as of right to purchase or subscribe for any part of any unissued stock of the Corporation, or of any additional stock of any class, to be issued by reason of any increase of the authorized capital stock, or of the number of shares of the Corporation, or of bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other securities convertible into stock of the Corporation, but any such unissued stock or any such additional authorized issues of new stock, or of securities convertible into stock, may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors to such persons, firms, corporations, or associations, and upon such terms as the Board of Directors may, in their discretion, determine, without offering to the stockholders then of record, or to any class of stockholders, any thereof, on the same terms or on any terms.

The preferred stock shall not entitle any holder thereof to vote at any meeting of stockholders or election of the Corporation or otherwise to participate in any action taken by the Corporation or its stockholders, but all the voting power shall be vested in the holders of the Common Stock, except as otherwise in this Article FIFTH provided. Each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock of the Corporation standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.

Except as otherwise in this Article FIFTH provided, upon the vote of a majority of the total number of shares of stock then issued and outstanding, and entitled to vote, as herein provided, or upon such larger vote as may be required by law, this agreement may be amended from time to time so as to permit the Corporation to create or authorize one or more other classes of stock with such preferences, designations, rights, privileges, voting powers, including votes on proceedings prescribed by statute, and subject to such restrictions, limitations and qualifications with respect to voting and otherwise as may be determined by said vote, which may be the same or different from the preferences, designations, rights, privileges, voting powers, restrictions, limitations and qualifications with respect to voting or otherwise of the classes of stock of the Corporation then authorized. Any such vote and amendment may authorize any shares of any class then authorized but unissued to be issued as shares of such new class or classes.

Except as otherwise in this Article FIFTH provided, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may at any time authorize the conversion or exchange of the whole or any particular share of the outstanding preferred stock of any class, with the consent of the holder thereof, into or for stock of any other class which at the time of such consent is authorized but unissued, and may fix the terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made; provided that, without the consent of the holders of record of two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock outstanding given at a meeting of the holders of the Common Stock called and held as provided by the By-Laws or given in writing without a meeting as authorized by law, the Board of Directors shall not authorize the conversion or exchange of any preferred stock of any class into or for Common Stock or authorize the conversion or exchange of any preferred stock of any class into or for preferred stock of any other class, if by such conversion or exchange the amount which the holders of the shares of stock so converted or exchanged would be entitled to receive either as dividends or shares in distribution of assets in preference to the Common Stock would be increased.

Except as otherwise in this Article FIFTH provided, any class of stock may be increased at any time upon vote of the holders of two-thirds (or such smaller number, not less than a majority, as may be permitted by law) of the shares of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that so long as any share of the 4-3/4% Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the amount to which the capital stock of the Corporation may be increased is Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000).

Except as otherwise in this Article FIFTH provided, the Corporation from time to time may resell any of its own stock, purchased or otherwise acquired by it as hereinafter provided for, at such price permitted by law as may be fixed by its Board of Directors or Executive Committee.

The designations, voting powers, preferences, dividend and redemption rights (including votes on proceedings prescribed by statute), and other relative rights or restrictions, limitations and qualifications of the 4-3/4% Preferred Stock having a par value of $100 per share shall be as follows:

The Preferred Stock shall be issuable in one or more series from time to time and the shares of each series shall have the same rank and be identical with each other and shall have the same relative rights, except with respect to amounts payable on voluntary liquidation as specified in Section (F) below and to the following characteristics:

which different characteristics of clauses (a), (b), (c), and (d) above are set forth below.

Subject to the foregoing, the distinguishing characteristics of the Preferred Stock shall be: (A) Each series of the Preferred Stock, pari passu with all shares of preferred stock of any class or series then outstanding, shall be entitled, but only when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, in preference to the Common Stock, to dividends at the rate stated and expressed with respect to such series herein; such dividends to be cumulative from such date and payable on such dates in each year as may be stated and expressed herein, to stockholders of record as of a date not to exceed forty (40) days and not less than ten (10) days preceding the dividend payment dates so fixed.

(B) If and when all outstanding shares of the 4-3/4% Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, acquired or otherwise retired, then:

(C) So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the consent (given by vote at a meeting called for that purpose) of at least two-thirds of the total number of shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a class:

(D) So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the consent (given by vote at a meeting called for that purpose) of the holders of a majority of the total number of shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding voting as a class:

(3) issue, sell, or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Preferred Stock, or of any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock as to dividends or in liquidation, dissolution, winding up or distribution, unless the aggregate of the capital of the Corporation applicable to the Common Stock and the surplus of the Corporation shall be not less than the aggregate amount payable on the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, in respect of all shares of the Preferred Stock and all shares of any other class of stock, if any, ranking prior thereto, or on a parity therewith, as to dividends or in liquidation, dissolution, winding up or distribution, which will be outstanding after the issue of the shares proposed to be issued; provided, that if, for the purposes of meeting the requirements of this subsection (43), it becomes necessary to take into consideration any earned surplus of the Corporation, the Corporation shall not thereafter pay any dividends on shares of the Common Stock which would result in reducing the Corporation's Common Stock Equity (as in Section (H) hereinafter defined) to an amount less than the aggregate amount payable, on involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, on all shares of the Preferred Stock and of any other class of stock ranking prior to, or on a parity with, the Preferred Stock, as to dividends or other distributions, at the time outstanding.

(E) Except as herein expressly provided, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have no power to vote and shall be entitled to no notice of any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation. As to matters upon which holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, as herein expressly provided, each holder of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of such Preferred Stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.

(F) In the event of any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Preferred Stock, pari passu with all shares of preferred stock of any other class or series then outstanding shall have a preference over the Common Stock until an amount equal to the then current redemption price, including accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, shall have been paid. In the event of any involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, which shall include any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up which may arise out of or result from the condemnation or purchase of all or a major portion of the properties of the Corporation, by (i) the United States Government or any authority, agency or instrumentality thereof, (ii) a state of the United States or any political subdivision, authority, agency, or instrumentality thereof or (iii) a district, cooperative or other association or entity not organized for profit, the Preferred Stock, pari passu with all shares of preferred stock of any other class or series then outstanding, shall also have a preference over the Common Stock until the full par value thereof, and an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, shall have been paid by dividends or distribution.

(G) Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the issued and outstanding Common Stock at any annual meeting, or any special meeting called for that purpose, the Corporation may at any time redeem all of any series of said Preferred Stock, or may from time to time redeem any part of any series thereof, by paying in cash the redemption price then applicable thereto, plus, in each case, an amount equivalent to the accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of the intention of the Corporation to redeem all or any part of the Preferred Stock shall be mailed not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for redemption to each holder of record of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at his post office address as shown by the Corporation's records, and not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' notice of such redemption may be published in such manner as may be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and in the event of such publication, no defect in the mailing of such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock so to be redeemed. Contemporaneously with the mailing or the publication of such notice, as aforesaid, or at any time thereafter prior to the date fixed for redemption, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price (or the portion thereof not already paid in the redemption of such Preferred Stock so to be redeemed) with any bank or trust company in the City of New York, New York, or in the City of New Orleans, Louisiana, named in such notice, payable to the order of the record holders of the Preferred Stock so to be redeemed, as the case may be, on the endorsement and surrender of their certificates, and thereupon said holders shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the making of such deposit such holders shall have no interest in or claim against the Corporation with respect to said shares, but shall be entitled only to receive such moneys from said bank or trust company, with interest, if any, allowed by such bank or trust company on such moneys deposited as in this Section (G) provided, on endorsement and surrender of their certificates, as aforesaid. Any moneys so deposited, plus interest thereon, if any, remaining unclaimed at the end of six (6) years from the date fixed for redemption, if thereafter requested by resolution of the Board of Directors, shall be repaid to the Corporation, and in the event of such repayment to the Corporation, such holders of record of the shares so redeemed as shall not have made claim against such moneys prior to such repayment to the Corporation, shall be deemed to be unsecured creditors of the Corporation for an amount, without interest, equivalent to the amount deposited, plus interest thereon, if any, allowed by such bank or trust company, as above stated, for the redemption of such shares and so paid to the Corporation. Shares of the Preferred Stock which have been redeemed shall not be reissued. If less than all of the shares of any series of the Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares thereof to be redeemed shall be selected by lot, in such manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall determine, by an independent bank or trust company selected for that purpose by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Nothing herein contained shall limit any legal right of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of the Preferred Stock; provided, however, that, so long as any shares of the Preferred Stock (which term, for purposes of this proviso, shall include the 4-3/4% Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Corporation shall not (i) make any payment, or set aside funds for payment, into any sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any shares of the Preferred Stock, or (ii) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire less than all of the shares of the Preferred Stock, if, at the time of such payment or setting aside of funds for payment into such sinking fund, or of such redemption, purchase or other acquisition, dividends payable on the Preferred Stock shall be in default in whole or in part, unless prior to or concurrently with such payment or setting aside of funds for payment into such sinking fund, and/or such redemption, purchase or other acquisition, as the case may be, all such defaults shall be cured or unless such payment or setting aside of funds for payment into such sinking fund, and/or such redemption, purchase or other acquisition, as the case may be, shall have been ordered, approved or permitted under the Federal Power Act. Any shares of the Preferred Stock so redeemed, purchased or acquired shall be retired and cancelled.

(H) For the purposes of this Section (H) and subsection (43) of Section (D) the term "Common Stock Equity" shall mean the aggregate of the par value of, or stated capital represented by, the outstanding shares (other than shares owned by the Corporation) of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends and assets, of the premium on such junior stock and of the surplus (including earned surplus, capital surplus and surplus invested in plant) of the Corporation, less (1) any amounts recorded on the books of the Corporation for utility plant and other plant in excess of the original cost thereof, (2) unamortized debt discount and expense, capital stock discount and expense and any other intangible items set forth on the asset side of the balance sheet as a result of accounting convention, (3) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount payable on involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation upon all outstanding preferred stock of the Corporation over the aggregate par or stated value thereof and any premiums thereon, and (4) the excess, if any, for the period beginning with January 1, 1955, to the end of a month within ninety (90) days preceding the date as of which Common Stock Equity is determined, of the cumulative amount computed under requirements contained in the Corporation's mortgage indentures relating to minimum depreciation provisions (this cumulative amount being the aggregate of the largest amounts separately computed for entire periods of differing coexisting mortgage indenture requirements), over the amount appropriated from income to the property retirement reserve by the Corporation on its books during such period, including the final fraction of a year; provided, however, that no deductions shall be required to be made in respect of items referred to in items (1) and (2) of this Section (H) in cases in which such items are being amortized or are provided for, or are being provided for, by reserves. For the purpose of this Section (H): (i) the term "total capitalization" shall mean the sum of the Common Stock Equity, plus item (3) in this Section (H) and the stated capital applicable to, and any premium on, outstanding stock of the Corporation not included in Common Stock Equity, and the principal amount of all outstanding debt of the Corporation maturing more than twelve (12) months after the date of issue thereof; and (ii) the term "dividends on Common Stock" shall embrace dividends on Common Stock (other than dividends payable only in shares of Common Stock), distributions on, and purchases or other acquisitions for value of, any Common Stock of the Corporation or other stock, if any, junior to the Preferred Stock. So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividends on Common Stock, except as follows:

At any time when the aggregate of all amounts credited subsequent to January 1, 1955, to the property retirement reserve (accumulated provision for depreciation) account of the Corporation through charges to operating revenue deductions or otherwise on the books of the Corporation shall be less than the amount computed as provided in clause (aa) below, under requirements contained in the Corporation's mortgage indentures, then for the purposes of subsections (a) and (b) above, in determining the net income available for common stock dividends during any twelve (12) month period, the amount to be provided for depreciation in that period shall be (aa) the greater of the cumulative amount appropriated from income to the property retirement reserve (accumulated provision for depreciation) on the books of the Corporation or the cumulative amount computed under requirements contained in the Corporation's mortgage indentures relating to minimum depreciation provisions (the latter cumulative amount being the aggregate of the largest amounts separately computed for entire periods of differing coexisting mortgage indenture requirements) for the period from January 1, 1955, to and including said twelve (12) month period, less (bb) the greater of the cumulative amount appropriated from income to the property retirement reserve (accumulated provision for depreciation) on the books of the Corporation or the cumulative amount computed under requirements contained in the Corporation's mortgage indentures relating to minimum depreciation provisions (the latter cumulative amount being the aggregate of the largest amounts separately computed for entire periods of differing coexisting mortgage indenture requirements) from January 1, 1955, up to but excluding said twelve (12) month period; provided that, in the event any company is merged into the Corporation, the "cumulative amount computed under requirements contained in the Corporation's mortgage indentures relating to minimum depreciation provisions" referred to above shall be computed without regard, for the period prior to the merger, of property acquired in the merger, and the "cumulative amount appropriated from income to the property retirement reserve (accumulated provision for depreciation) on the books of the Corporation" shall be exclusive of amounts provided for such property prior to the merger.

(I) Dividends may be paid upon the Common Stock only when (i) dividends have been paid or declared and funds set apart for the payment of dividends as aforesaid on the Preferred Stock (which term, for purposes of this Section (I), shall include the 4-3/4% Preferred Stock) from the date(s) after which dividends thereon became cumulative, to the beginning of the period then current, with respect to which such dividends on the Preferred Stock are usually declared, and (ii) all payments have been made or funds have been set aside for payments then or theretofore due under the terms of sinking fund requirements (if any) for the purchase or redemption of shares of the Preferred Stock, but whenever (x) all such dividends upon the Preferred Stock as aforesaid shall have been paid or declared and funds shall have been set apart for the payment thereof upon the Preferred Stock and (y) all payments shall have been made or funds shall have been set aside for all payments then or theretofore due under the terms of sinking fund requirements (if any) for the purchase or redemption of shares of the Preferred Stock, then, subject to the limitations above set forth and subject to the rights of any other class of stock then outstanding, dividends upon the Common Stock may be declared payable then or thereafter, out of any net earnings or surplus of assets over liabilities, including capital, then remaining.

(J) The Corporation reserves the right, without any vote or consent of the Preferred Stock as a class or of any series of Preferred Stock, to amend these Articles of Incorporation in any or all of the following respects:

SIXTH: The corporate power of this Corporation shall be vested in, and exercised by, a Board of Directors to be composed of not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) persons, to be elected annually at a meeting of stockholders to be held on any date selected by the stockholders. The number of persons, within the foregoing limits, to compose the Board of Directors at any given time, shall be fixed by either the stockholders or by the Board of Directors. A majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless the By-Laws of this Corporation, adopted by the Board of Directors, shall provide for a lesser number.

Vacancies and newly created Directorships resulting from any increase on the authorized number of Directors may be filled as provided in the By-Laws.

A failure to elect directors on the date above specified shall not dissolve the Corporation, nor impair its corporate existence or management, but the directors then in office shall remain in office until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

Notice of such meeting and of all other stockholders' meetings shall be given in the manner prescribed by law, and, when not so prescribed, then written notice of such meetings shall be addressed to each stockholder entitled to vote at said meeting, at such address as may have been furnished by him for notice hereunder and deposited in the post office, at least fifteen (15) days before the date of said meeting, postage prepaid. No notice need be given to any person whose stock was acquired, or who became a registered owner thereof, on or after the date upon which notice of a meeting of stockholders was mailed or delivered. The By-Laws of the Corporation may provide for any additional form of notice.

The books for the transfer of the stock may be closed for such periods before and during the payment of dividends and the holding of meetings of stockholders, not to exceed thirty (30) days at any one time, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine; and the Corporation shall make no transfer of stock on the books during such period.

The Board of Directors shall elect individuals to occupy offices as provided in the By-Laws. The powers and duties of every officer, agent and employee shall be such as may be conferred upon them by the By-Laws, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee, and all officers, agents and employees shall hold office and employment at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, either the Board of directors or the stockholders are expressly authorized to make, alter and repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may make and establish, as well as alter and amend, all such rules and regulations, not inconsistent herewith, necessary and proper in its judgment for the conduct and management of the business and affairs and the exercise of the corporate powers of this Corporation, and said Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to borrow money and to execute mortgages and pledges and create liens; to issue bonds, notes and other obligations, and to secure same by mortgage and/or pledge or otherwise, and generally to do any and all things reasonable, convenient or necessary for the proper conduct of the business and affairs of this Corporation; and, in its discretion, the Board of Directors may create and select an Executive Committee to be composed of not less than two (2) of its own members, to which committee the Board of Directors may grant all or any of its powers to be exercised during the interim between meetings of the Board of Directors itself.

A director of this Corporation shall not be disqualified by his office from dealing or contracting with the Corporation either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any transaction or contract of this Corporation be void or voidable by reason of the fact that any director or any firm of which any director is a member, or any corporation of which any director is a shareholder or director, is in any way interested in such transaction or contract, provided that such transaction or contract is or shall be authorized, ratified or approved either (1) by vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board of Directors or of the Executive Committee without counting in such majority or quorum any director so interested, or members of a firm so interested, or a shareholder or director of a corporation so interested, or (2) by a vote at a stockholders' meeting of the holders of record of a majority of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or by writing or writings signed by a majority of such holders; nor shall any director be liable to account to the Corporation for any profits realized by and from or through any such transaction or contract of this Corporation authorized, ratified or approved, as aforesaid, by reason of the fact that he or any firm of which he is a member, or any corporation of which he is a shareholder or director, was interested in such transaction or contract.

SEVENTH: Except as hereinbefore in Article FIFTH hereof provided, with respect to certain voting rights conferred upon the preferred stock, the provisions hereof may be modified, changed, altered or amended to the extent and in the manner now or hereafter permitted by law for the amendment of the articles of incorporation or act of incorporation of a corporation, or the capital stock or the number of shares of the capital stock of this Corporation may be increased or decreased, or new classes or series of stock may be created, or the number of shares of any class or series of stock may be changed with the assent of two-thirds (or such smaller number, not less than a majority, as may be permitted by law) of the shares of the outstanding Common Stock of this Corporation expressed, given and obtained at a general meeting of such stockholders convened for such purposes, or any of them, after previous notice of such meeting shall have been given to each Common Stockholder in the manner hereinabove provided, unless other notice for a meeting of such character be prescribed by law, in which event notice shall be given in conformity with law.

Whenever this Corporation may be dissolved, either by limitation or from any other cause, its affairs shall be liquidated by three (3) commissioners to be elected by the holders of the Common Stock at a meeting convened for said purpose as above provided and after due notice; a majority of said stock represented at such meeting shall be requisite for the election of such commissioners. Such commissioners shall remain in office until the affairs of this Corporation shall have been fully liquidated. In case of the death or resignation of any one or more of said commissioners, the vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by the survivor or survivors. In the event of any disagreement among said commissioners, the action of the majority shall prevail and be binding.

The provisions of the Business Corporation Law of Louisiana and of all other statutes relating to corporations of the character of this Corporation whether consolidated or otherwise, shall be applicable to this Corporation so far as concerns the rights and powers of this Corporation and its stockholders. Upon the written consent or the vote of the holders of a majority in number of the shares then outstanding and entitled to vote, or, if the consent or vote of the holders of a larger number of shares is required by law, then, upon such larger consent or vote as may be required by law (1) any and every statute of the State of Louisiana hereinafter adopted whereby the rights, powers or privileges of the stockholders of corporations organized under the general laws of said State are increased, diminished or in any way affected, or whereby effect is given to the action taken by any part less than all of the stockholders of any such corporation shall, notwithstanding any provision which may at the time be contained in this agreement of consolidation, apply to this Corporation and shall be binding not only upon this Corporation but upon every stockholder thereof to the same extent as if such statute had been in force at the date of the making and filing of this agreement of consolidation, and/or (2) amendments to this agreement of consolidation authorized at the time of the making of such amendments by the laws of the State of Louisiana, may be made; provided, however, that no such consent or vote shall alter or change the amounts which the holders of outstanding preferred stock are entitled to receive as dividends or in distribution of assets in preference to the holders of the Common Stock, or decrease the price at which preferred stock may be redeemed, all as hereinabove provided, except with the consent of the holders of at least ninety per centum (90%) of the then outstanding preferred stock, which consent may be expressed by each stockholder either in writing or by vote at an annual or special stockholders' meeting.

EIGHTH: No stockholder shall ever be held liable for the contracts or faults or defaults of this Corporation in any further sum than the unpaid balance of the consideration, if any, due the Corporation on the shares of stock owned by him; nor shall any mere informality in organization or consolidation have the effect of rendering this agreement null, or of exposing a stockholder to any liability beyond the unpaid amount remaining due on his said stock.

NINTH: The officers of the Corporation shall have and exercise such powers and duties as may be conferred upon them by the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Corporation.

TENTH: The rights of creditors and all liens upon the property of each of the parties hereto shall be preserved unimpaired and the property and franchises of each of said corporations, parties hereto, shall pass to and vest in the Corporation, subject to all lawful debts, guarantees, liabilities and obligations existing against each of said corporations, except as herein otherwise provided, and all of said debts, liabilities and obligations of the New Orleans Company and/or the Consumers Company and/or the Citizens Company, parties hereto, shall be provided for, paid and discharged by the Corporation, except as herein otherwise provided, and all contracts and agreements existing between each of said corporations, parties hereto, and any other person, firm or corporation shall be carried out and performed by the Corporation.

SECTION 1. Mandatory Indemnification - Third Party Actions. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding ("Action"), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an Action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgements, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such Action if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Action, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Action by judgement, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 2. Mandatory Indemnification - Derivative Actions. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgement in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding the estimated expense of litigating the Action to a conclusion) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such Action if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Action was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

SECTION 3. Mandatory Indemnification - Successful Party. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any such Action, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

SECTION 4. Permissive Indemnification. Notwithstanding any limitations of the indemnification provided by Sections 1 and 2, the Corporation may, to the fullest extent authorized by law, indemnify any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against all or part of any expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgements, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Action, if it shall be determined in accordance with the applicable procedures set forth in Section 5 that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification.

SECTION 5. Procedure. Any indemnification under Sections 1, 2 or 4 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized by the Board of Directors (which may so act whether or not there is a sufficient number of disinterested directors to constitute a quorum) in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 or is entitled to indemnification under Section 4. Such determination, in the case of indemnification made pursuant to Section 1 or Section 2 shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum, as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws, consisting of directors who are not or were not parties to any pending or completed Action giving rise to the proposed indemnification, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel (who may be, but need not be, outside counsel to the Corporation) in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholder(s) of the Corporation. Such determination, in the case of indemnification made pursuant to Section 4, shall be made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum, as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws, consisting of directors who are not or were not parties to any pending or completed Action giving rise to the proposed indemnification or by the shareholders.

SECTION 6. Advance Payments. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by a director, officer or employee of the Corporation in defending against any claim asserted or threatened against such person in such capacity or arising out of such person's status as such shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final determination thereof, if authorized by the Board of Directors (which may so act whether or not there is a sufficient number of disinterested directors to constitute a quorum) upon receipt by the Corporation of his written request therefor and such person's written promise to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized or required in this article.

SECTION 7. Provisions Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

SECTION 8. Miscellaneous. For purposes of this Article, and without any limitation whatsoever upon the generality thereof, the term "fines" as used herein shall be deemed to include (i) penalties imposed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the "NRC") pursuant to Section 206 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 and Part 21 of NRC regulations thereunder, as they may be amended from time to time, and any other penalties, whether similar or dissimilar, imposed by the NRC, and (ii) excise taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as it may be amended from time to time, ("ERISA"). For purposes of determining the entitlement of a director, officer or employee of the Corporation to indemnification under this Article, the term "other enterprise" shall be deemed to include an employee benefit plan governed by ERISA. The Corporation shall be deemed to have requested such person to serve as a director, officer or employee of such a plan where such person is a trustee of the plan or where the performance by such person of his duties to the Corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to such plan or its participants or beneficiaries, and action taken or permitted by such person in the performance of his duties with respect to such employee benefit plan for which is a purpose reasonably believed by him to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan, shall be deemed to meet the standard of conduct required for indemnification hereunder. Any act, omission, step or conduct taken or had in good faith which is required, authorized or approved by any order or orders issued pursuant to the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 or any other federal statute or any state statute or municipal ordinance shall be deemed to meet the standard of conduct required for indemnification hereunder.

In the event that any provisions of these By-Laws conflict with the Articles of Incorporation or with state or federal statutes, the Articles of Incorporation or such statutes shall take precedence over such provisions of these By-Laws.

Subject to the provisions of applicable law and of the Articles of Incorporation, these By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed and new By-Laws adopted either by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors.
