DEFINITIONS

Definitions.

"Daily Weighted Average Investment Rate" means, as applied to any day, (x) the product of (i) the aggregate total daily interest payable on all investments in the Money Pool Portfolio and (ii) 360, divided by (y) the total amount of funds invested in the Money Pool Portfolio as of such day. For purposes of calculating the daily interest payable on each investment in the Money Pool Portfolio in (i) above, the original cost of each such investment shall be multiplied by its respective yield and the product shall be divided by 360.

"U.S. Dollars", "Dollars" or "$" means lawful money of the United States of America.

"Loan Rate" shall mean the Daily Weighted Average Investment Rate, as applied to any day that interest is calculated on Loans; provided, however, that in the event, on and as of any day, there are no excess Money Pool funds invested in the Money Pool Portfolio, the Daily Federal Funds Effective Rate, as quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, shall be the Loan Rate applicable to Loans for that day. The applicable Loan Rate shall apply to the entire principal amount of any Loan outstanding during the term of this First Amended Agreement.

"Loan" or "Loans" means the unsecured, short-term loans made by any Participant to other Participants (exclusive of Entergy) pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

"Money Pool" means a pool of funds administered by ESI, as agent for the Participants, consisting solely of available cash from the treasuries of the Participants, which will be loaned on a short-term basis to one or more of the Participants or otherwise invested by ESI, as agent, in the Money Pool Portfolio in the manner described in Section 2.08 hereof.

"Money Pool Portfolio" means the portfolio of securities in which ESI, as agent for the Participants, invests excess Money Pool funds from time to time in accordance with Section 2.08 hereof.

"Note" means the promissory note of a Participant payable to the order of ESI, as agent for the Participants, evidencing at any given time the obligation of the Participant to pay on demand a principal amount equal to the applicable Participant Borrowing Limit or, if less, the unpaid aggregate principal amount of all Loans to such Participant outstanding under the Money Pool and this First Amended Agreement (including borrowings pursuant to the Money Pool prior to the Effective Date of this First Amended Agreement). Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J set forth forms of the Notes to be issued by ESI, EAI, EGSI, ELL, ELP, EMI, ENOI, EOI, SFI and SERI, respectively, pursuant to this First Amended Agreement. The Note of each Participant (and corresponding Exhibit) may be amended, replaced and/or superceded from time to time to reflect changes in the authorized Participant Borrowing Limit or as otherwise required to comply with authorization then in effect under PUHCA or other applicable regulatory requirements.

"Participant Borrowing Limit" shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in the Recitals to this First Amended Agreement.

"Person" means an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or unincorporated organization, or a government or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

"PUHCA" shall have the meaning ascribed in that term in the Recitals to this First Amended Agreement.

"SEC" shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in the Recitals to this First Amended Agreement.

"Termination Date" shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 3.01 below.

Interpretation of Definitions. All definitions in the singular shall, unless the context specifies otherwise, include and mean the plural, and all references to the masculine gender shall include the feminine; and vice versa.

Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with those applied in the preparation of Entergy and its subsidiaries' consolidated financial statements, and any financial data submitted pursuant to this First Amended Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with such principles.

OPERATION OF MONEY POOL

Money Pool Loans. During the period from the date hereof to and including the Termination Date, ESI and the other Participants shall make available to all Participants (exclusive of Entergy and Holdings, which are not permitted to effect borrowings through the Money Pool) excess funds from their treasuries in the form of short-term loans. The determination of whether a Participant at any time has funds that may be available for lending through the Money Pool will be made by, or under the direction of, its respective Treasurer or such other person(s) as such Participant may, from time to time, designate. The Money Pool will be managed by ESI with the intent of matching, to the extent possible, the available cash and borrowing requirements of the various Participants in order to minimize the need for Participants to make short-term borrowings from external sources.

Allocation of Funds. Subject to the applicable Participant Borrowing Limitation described in Section 2.05, Participants making borrowings through the Money Pool (other than EOI, ESI and SFI) will be entitled to borrow, on any given day, an amount of the total funds then available for lending to the Participants determined on the basis of an equal allocation of such funds among all borrowing Participants, except that where such an allocation would provide one or more borrowing Participants with funds in excess of its or their borrowing requirements, such excess will then be available for Loans equally allocated among the remaining borrowing Participants. To the extent that EOI, ESI and SFI are permitted to effect borrowings through the Money Pool, the remaining funds then available for lending to EOI, ESI and SFI will be allocated among them in the same manner as the available funds are allocated among the other borrowing Participants. Each borrowing Participant will borrow pro rata from each lending Participant in the proportion which the total amount being loaned through the Money Pool by such lending Participant bears to the total amount then being loaned by all Participants through the Money Pool.

Interest on the Loans. All loans will bear interest payable monthly at a rate, calculated on a daily basis, equal to the applicable Loan Rate.

The Notes. Upon the Effective Date, ESI, EAI, EGSI, ELL, ELP, EMI, ENOI, EOI, SFI and SERI shall each execute a Note to evidence borrowings by the applicable Participant from the Money Pool and the continuance of obligations under the Money Pool. As a newly authorized Participant, ELP will execute a new Note and ELL, as the successor Participant to ELI, will execute a Note that will replace and supercede the Note issued by ELI under the Original Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, except for the Note to be issued by ELP, such Notes will replace and supercede the Notes issued by such Participants under the Original Agreement. Each Participant's obligation to repay a principal amount equal to the applicable Participant Borrowing Limit or, if less, the unpaid aggregate principal amount of all Loans to such Participant outstanding under the Money Pool and this First Amended Agreement (including any borrowings by such Participant (and, in the case of ELL, by ELI) pursuant to the Money Pool prior to the Effective Date of this First Amended Agreement), shall be evidenced by such Participant's Note. The Notes will be payable to the order of ESI, as agent for the Participants, on demand, as more particularly set forth in the Notes. The Loans and the Notes evidencing the Loans shall accrue interest at the Loan Rate as provided in Section 2.03 hereof, which interest shall be payable as set forth in the Notes. Upon payment in full of any Note and all interest thereon and any other charges due from a Participant thereunder or hereunder, ESI shall promptly return such Note to such Participant. Forms of the Notes to be issued by ESI, EAI, EGSI, ELL, ELP, EMI, ENOI, EOI, SFI and SERI, are/will be attached hereto as Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J, respectively. Such Notes (and corresponding Exhibits) may be amended, replaced or superceded from time to time to reflect changes in the authorized Participant Borrowing Limits or as otherwise required to comply with authorization then in effect under PUHCA or other applicable regulatory requirements.

Borrowing Limitations. Pursuant to the terms of the SEC Order, the applicable Participant Borrowing Limit, as of the Effective Date of this First Amended Agreement, with respect to each of the Participants is as follows: EAI - $235 million; EGSI - $340 million; ELL - $225 million, ELP - $50 million, EMI - $160 million, ENOI - $100 million, SERI - $140 million; EOI - $20 million; ESI - $200 million; and SFI - $200 million. The Participant Borrowing Limit pertaining to each borrowing Participant may be modified, from time to time. In such event, the Note issued by the affected Participant (and corresponding Exhibit) will be amended, replaced and/or superceded so as to reflect the new Participant Borrowing Limit and the Participant shall be permitted to make borrowings hereunder in an aggregate principal amount, at any time outstanding, equal to such revised Participant Borrowing Limit.

Funding and Repayment. Each advance of Loans under this First Amended Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds, at such place as to which a borrowing Participant and ESI may agree. All repayments and prepayments by a Participant of principal and all payments by such Participant of interest, and all other sums due under its Note or this First Amended Agreement, shall be made without deduction, setoff, abatement, suspension, deferment, defense or counterclaim, on or before the due date of repayment or payment, and shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All payments received by ESI from a Participant shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts due hereunder or under its Note other than principal and interest on the Loans; second, to the payment of interest due on the Loans; and third, to the repayment of principal due on the Loans.

Optional Prepayments. Each Participant, at its option, may prepay all or any part of the Loans, from time to time, without penalty or premium.

Money Pool Portfolio. If any funds are remaining in the Money Pool after satisfaction of the borrowing needs of the Participants, ESI, as administrator of the Money Pool, will invest such funds and allocate the earnings thereon between or among those Participants providing such excess funds on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective interests in such funds. ESI shall invest the excess funds in one or a combination of the types of securities that are permitted by the provisions of Section 9(c) and Rule 40 of PUHCA or other applicable regulatory requirements, in each case in a manner reasonably designed to preserve principal and optimize returns.

TERMINATION

Termination of First Amended Agreement. This First Amended Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the repeal of PUHCA effective February 8, 2006 (the "Termination Date") and the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and interest thereon and any other sums due under the Notes shall be immediately due and payable; provided that the Money Pool and the rights and obligations thereunder and this First Amended Agreement will continue pursuant to any Money Pool Agreement which amends, restates and supercedes this First Amended Agreement at that time. Each Participant shall also have the right at any time, upon written notice to ESI and to the other Participants, to terminate its participation in the Money Pool and this First Amended Agreement, subject to its obligation to pay when due all outstanding indebtedness under its Note then in effect. \

ESI's RESPONSIBILITIES AS ADMINISTRATOR

ESI's Responsibilities and Documentation Requirements. In addition to ESI's duties and responsibilities as manager and administrator of the Money Pool otherwise set forth in this First Amended Agreement or the Notes, ESI shall maintain the following written documentation with respect to the operation of the Money Pool:

For each Loan made through the Money Pool, or repayment thereof: the date of the Loan or repayment, the amount of the Loan or repayment, and the Loan Rate applicable to each day the Loan is outstanding.
For each borrowing made through the Money Pool, the date of the borrowing, the amount of the borrowing and the Loan Rate applicable to each day that the borrowing is outstanding.
For each investment in the Money Pool Portfolio, the date of the investment, the total amount of the investment and the amount thereof allocated to each Participant providing excess funds to the Money Pool on any day, the maturity date, if any, of the investment, and the daily interest rate payable on such investment.

Without limitation of the foregoing, ESI shall evidence all loans, borrowings and investments made by, or allocated to, each Participant on the books and records of such Participant.

MISCELLANEOUS

Notices. Any communications between or among the parties hereto, and notices provided herein to be given, may be given by facsimile transmission, electronic-mail, mailing or otherwise delivering the same to the Treasurer of ESI and the Treasurer of each affected Participant or to such other person or persons and addresses as ESI or such other affected Participant(s) may, from time to time, designate, upon written notice.

Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to ESI, as agent or administrator, or any Participant under this First Amended Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of ESI, as agent or administrator, or such Participant, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of ESI, as agent or administrator, or any Participant of any breach or default under this First Amended Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any ESI, as agent or administrator, or any Participant of any provision or condition of this First Amended Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies, either under this First Amended Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to ESI, as agent or administrator, or any Participant shall be cumulative and not alternative.

Counterparts. This First Amended Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be deemed necessary or convenient, all of which, when executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this First Amended Agreement by their duly authorized officers, as of the date first above written.

(the "Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of Entergy Services, Inc., as agent (the "Agent") for the participating companies (each, a "Participant", and collectively, the "Participants") in the Entergy System Money Pool ("Money Pool"), at the office of Hibernia National Bank, 313 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, Louisiana (the "Bank"), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) or, if less than such principal amount, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans outstanding, or any portion of such loans as determined by the Agent, made by the Participants to the Borrower through the Money Pool. The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note, or, if less, the unpaid balance thereof, in like money, at said office of the Bank, from the date of this Note, at a rate of interest, calculated on a daily basis, equal to the Daily Weighted Average Investment Rate of the Money Pool portfolio in effect from time to time calculated in accordance with the following paragraph; provided, however, that in the event that on and as of any particular day there are no excess funds invested in the Money Pool portfolio, the Daily Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will be the rate of interest applicable to this Note for that day.

As used herein, the term "Daily Weighted Average Investment Rate", as applied to any day, shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the aggregate of the total daily interest payable on all investments in the Money Pool portfolio outstanding as of such day by (B) 360, and dividing the product thereof by the total amount invested in the Money Pool portfolio as of such day. For purposes of calculating the daily interest payable on each investment in the Money Pool portfolio in (A) above, the original cost of each such investment shall be multiplied by its respective yield and the product shall be divided by 360.

The amount of each loan made by a Participant to the Borrower through the Money Pool, and the amount of each payment of principal by the Borrower to a Participant, shall be evidenced and determined by reference to the appropriate accounting and computer records maintained by the Agent, as administrator of the Money Pool.

Interest on this Note shall be payable monthly for the preceding month not later than the second business day of each month, commencing on the first such day after the date of this Note.

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 Borrower binds itself to pay the reasonable fee of the attorney who may be employed for that purpose.

The Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-payment, protest and all pleas of division and discussion, and agrees that the time of payment hereof may be extended from time to time, one or more times, without notice of such extension or extensions and without previous consent.

The unpaid principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty.

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.
