ITEM 2. ACQUISITIONS OR SALES OF UTILITY ASSETS

In December 2002, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) approved1 a settlement agreement among PSI2, the Indiana Office of the Utility Consumer Counselor, and the IURC Staff authorizing PSI’s purchases of the Henry County, Indiana and Butler County, Ohio, gas-fired peaking plants from two non-regulated affiliates. In February 2003, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act authorizing PSI’s acquisitions of the plants, which occurred on February 5, 2003. Subsequently, in April 2003, the FERC issued a tolling order allowing additional time to consider a request for rehearing filed in response to the February 2003 FERC order. In September 2004, FERC issued an order denying the request for rehearing and affirming the acquisition of the plants.

The Kentucky Public Service Commission (KPSC) has conditionally approved and the FERC has approved ULH&P’s3 planned acquisition of CG&E’s4 68.9 percent ownership interest in the East Bend Generating Station, located in Boone County, Kentucky, the Woodsdale Generating Station, located in Butler County, Ohio, and one generating unit at the four-unit Miami Fort Station located in Hamilton County, Ohio. ULH&P is currently seeking approval of the transaction from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), wherein the Ohio Consumers Counsel has intervened in opposition. The transfer, which will be paid for at net book value, will not affect current electric rates for ULH&P’s customers, as power will be provided under the same terms as under the current wholesale power contract with CG&E through December 31, 2006. Assuming receipt of SEC approval, we would anticipate the transfer to take place in the third quarter of 2005.

In 2004, PSI completed an exchange of electric substations with an independent third party where PSI sold a number of electric substations at net book value and purchased electric substations at net book value plus monetary consideration. PSI received IURC approval for the transaction in April 2000 and FERC approval in November 2003. The applicable SEC exemption under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 for the acquisition is Section 9(b)(1)5 and for the sale is Rule 44(b)(1).





1 IURC approval previously filed as Item 10-B-37 in Cinergy’s Form U5S filed April 30, 2004.
2 PSI is a wholly owned vertically integrated and regulated electric utility that provides service in north central, central, and southern Indiana.
3 ULH&P, a direct subsidiary of CG&E, provides electric and gas service in northern Kentucky.
4 CG&E is a combination electric and gas public utility company that provides service in the southwestern portion of Ohio.
5 Refer to Item 10-B-452 for the IURC’s approval.

the Covered Person may be involved,  or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise,  by reason of its  management  of the affairs of the Company or which
relates to or arises out of the Company or its property,  business or affairs. A
Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification  under this Section 10.2
with  respect  to any claim,  issue or matter in which it has  engaged in fraud,

     requires,  be in any way limited or restricted by reference to or inference
     from any other object or objects set forth in such  sub-clause  or from the
     terms of any other sub-clause or from the name of the Company. None of such
     sub-clauses  or the  object or  objects  therein  specified  or the  powers

     full a  power  to  exercise  all or any  of the  objects  conferred  by and
     provided in each of the said  sub-clauses as if each  sub-clause  contained

3    Share capital

     3.1  The authorised share capital of the Company at the time of adoption of

          shares,  1,500,000 "A1" preference  shares,  1,500,000 "A2" preference

          any  contrary  direction  given by the  Company in general  meeting by
          special  resolution  and save as  provided  in  Article  3.3 below all
          shares which are  comprised  in the  authorised  share  capital of the
          Company from time to time which the  directors  propose to issue shall
          first be offered, at par or at a premium and upon such other terms and
          conditions  as the  directors  may  determine,  to the members who are
          holders  of the same class of shares as those to be issued at the time
          of the offer in  proportion  to the number of the  existing  shares of
          that class held by them  respectively and at the same price. Each such
          offer shall be made by notice specifying the total number and class of
          shares being offered to the members  holding shares of that class as a
          whole, the  proportionate  entitlement of the member to whom the offer

          what  maximum  number  of the  said  shares  up to  his  proportionate
          entitlement.  An offer, if not accepted within the period specified as
          regards  any shares,  will be deemed to be  declined as regards  those
          shares. After the expiration of such period, those shares so deemed to
          be declined shall be offered in proportion as aforesaid to the persons
          holding  shares of the same class who have,  within  the said  period,
          accepted all the shares  offered to them;  such further offer shall be
          made in like terms in the same  manner and limited by a like period as
          the original offer. Any shares not accepted  pursuant to such offer or
          further  offer  as  aforesaid  or not  capable  of  being  offered  as
          aforesaid  except by way of fractions shall not be issued.  Any shares
          released  from the  provisions  of this  Article  by any such  special
          resolution as aforesaid  shall be under the control of the  directors,
          who may allot,  grant options over or otherwise dispose of the same to
          such persons,  on such terms, and in such manner as they think fit. No
          share  shall be issued at a  discount  or  otherwise  in breach of the
          provisions of these Articles or of the Act.

     3.3  The  provisions  of  Article  3.2  shall  not  apply to the  issue and
          allotment of the ordinary shares and preference  shares in the Company
          expressly provided for in the Equity Contribution Agreement.

          or class of shares,  any share in the  Company  may be issued  with or
          have attached thereto such preferred, deferred or other special rights
          or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of
          capital  or  otherwise  as  the  Company  may  by  special  resolution
          determine.

     3.5  Subject to the Act, any  preference  shares may be issued on the terms
          that they are, or at the option of the Company are to be liable, to be
          redeemed  on such  terms  and in such  manner  as the  Company  may by
          special resolution determine.

          first in repaying to the  holders of the  preference  shares an amount
          equal to the par value of such shares but the preference  shares shall
          not  entitle  the  holders  thereof to any  further or other  right of
          participation in the assets of the Company;

     4.2  as regards redemption of the "A" preference shares:-

          six  equal  half  yearly  installments  payable  in each of the  three
          following years commencing six months after the twelfth anniversary of
          the Completion  Date provided that where there is more than one holder
          of either class of "A" preference shares the shares of each such class
          to be redeemed  shall be redeemed in  proportion to the number of that
          class of "A" preference shares held by each such holder respectively.

     4.3  as regards redemption of the "B" preference shares:-

          the Company  shall  (subject to the  provisions of the Act) redeem the

          holder respectively.

     4.4  any notice of redemption  shall specify the class and number of shares
          to be redeemed,  the date fixed for  redemption and the place at which

          and upon such date each of the holders of the shares  concerned  shall
          be bound to deliver to the Company at such place the  certificates for
          such of the  preference  shares  concerned as are held by him in order
          that the same may be  cancelled.  Upon such delivery the Company shall
          pay to such holder (or,  in the case of joint  holders,  to the holder

          amount then due to him in respect of such redemption;

          this Article 4 so far as the same are applicable;

     4.6  as  regards  dividends  the  profits  of  the  Company  available  for

               Such  dividends  shall  be  paid  half-yearly  on or as  soon  as
               reasonably  practicable  after each record date being 28 February
               and 31 August in each year  provided  that if any such  dividends

               of the unpaid  dividends at the rate of 10.5% per annum  accruing
               on a daily basis from the date that such dividends were due to be
               paid  until  the date of  payment  (whether  before  or after any

               4.6.2.3 the directors  shall pay dividends on the "A2" preference

               provided  always  that  the  payment  of any  dividends  shall be

     Subject  to the Act,  all or any of the  special  rights for the time being
     attached to any class of shares for the time being  issued may from time to
     time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be altered or abrogated
     with the  consent  in  writing  of the  holders of not less than 75% of the
     issued  shares  of that  class or with  the  sanction  of an  extraordinary
     resolution  passed at a separate  general  meeting  of the  holders of such
     shares.  To any such  separate  general  meeting all the  provisions of the
     regulations  of the Company as to general  meetings  of the  Company  shall
     mutatis  mutandis  apply,  but so that the  necessary  quorum  shall be two
     persons at least holding or  representing by proxy not less than 75% of the
     issued  shares of the class.  If such  separate  meeting shall be adjourned
     owing to the absence of a quorum and if at the  adjourned  meeting a quorum
     shall not be present within  half-an-hour  from the time appointed for such
     adjourned  meeting  the holder or holders of shares of the class  concerned
     who are  present in person or by proxy  shall  constitute  a quorum.  Every
     holder of shares of the class  shall be  entitled on a poll to one vote for
     every such share held by him and any holder of shares of the class  present
     in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

6    Lien

     The Company  shall have a first and paramount  lien on all shares,  whether
     fully paid or not,  standing  registered in the name of any person indebted
     or under liability to the Company,  whether he shall be the sole registered
     holder thereof or shall be one of two or more joint holders, for all moneys
     presently  payable  by him or his estate to the  Company  whether or not in
     respect  of the  shares  in  question.  Regulation  8 of  Table A shall  be
     modified accordingly.

7    Calls on shares and forfeiture

     There shall be added at the end of the first  sentence of  regulation 18 of
     Table A, so as to  increase  the  liability  of any  member in  default  in
     respect of a call,  the words "and all expenses that may have been incurred
     by the Company by reason of such non-payment".

8    Transfer of shares

          8.A.1Where any  person is the  holder of shares in more than one class
               and he gives a transfer  notice  under  Article 8.1 in respect of
               shares in one of such classes (the "prime  transfer  notice") but
               not in  respect of shares in every  other  class of which he is a
               member,  he shall be deemed to have also given a transfer  notice
               (a  "secondary  transfer  notice")  in  respect of shares in each
               other class of shares of which he is a member  specifying in each
               such  secondary  transfer  notice as the number of shares in such
               class which he is willing to sell that number of shares  which is
               equal to the total  number of shares in that  class  held by such
               person  at the  date of  giving  the  secondary  transfer  notice
               reduced  by the same  proportion  (in  percentage  terms)  as the
               number of shares  specified  as being  available  for sale in the
               prime transfer notice bears to the total number of shares held by
               such  person at such  date in the  class of shares  which are the
               subject of the prime  transfer  notice.  For the  purposes of the
               following  provisions  of  this  Article  8  any  reference  to a
               transfer  notice  shall  mean a prime  transfer  notice  and each
               secondary transfer notice severally.

          8.A.2The directors  shall not register a transfer  pursuant to a prime
               transfer notice or a secondary transfer notice unless at the time
               of  transfer  of such  shares  such  purchasing  class  member or
               purchasing  member or third party  purchaser also acquired shares
               in each other  class of shares in respect of which the  proposing
               transferor  shall have given notice to the Company as required by
               Article 8.A.1,  the number of shares to be acquired in respect of
               each such class being that  properly  specified  in the  relevant
               transfer  notice given by the proposing  transferor in accordance
               with Article 8.A.1.

          8.A.3The  proposing  transferor  and the  purchasing  class  member or
               purchasing  member or third party purchaser and the Company shall
               each use their  respective  best  endeavours  to ensure  that the
               application  of the  provisions  of  Article 8 in  respect of the
               prime transfer notice and each secondary transfer notice shall be
               effected contemporaneously so far as practicable.  If a proposing
               transferor  gives a transfer notice in respect of shares which he
               holds in each  class  of  shares  of  which he is a class  member
               simultaneously  the  transfer  notice in respect of the  ordinary
               shares which he holds shall be deemed the prime transfer notice.

     8.1  Any person (hereinafter called "the proposing  transferor")  proposing
          to  transfer  any  shares of any class  shall  give  notice in writing
          (hereinafter  called "the  transfer  notice")  to the Company  that he
          desires to  transfer  the same and  specifying  the price per share at
          which he is willing to sell them. The transfer notice shall constitute
          the Company the agent of the proposing  transferor for the sale of all
          (but not some only) of the shares  comprised  in the  transfer  notice
          together  with all  rights  then  attached  thereto  to any  member or
          members  holding  shares of the same class as those  comprised  in the
          transfer notice and willing to purchase the same  (hereinafter  called
          "purchasing  class members") at the price specified  therein or at the
          fair value  determined in accordance with Article 8.3 (whichever shall
          be the  lower).  A  transfer  notice  shall not (save as  provided  in
          Article  8.3) be revocable  except with the sanction of the  directors
          and shall be  comprised  of one class of share  only so that  separate
          transfer  notices are  required in respect of  proposed  transfers  of
          separate classes of shares.

     8.2  The shares  comprised in any  transfer  notice shall be offered to the
          members  (other than the proposing  transferor)  holding shares of the
          same class as those  comprised  in the  transfer  notice  (hereinafter
          called  "class  members")  as  nearly as may be in  proportion  to the
          number of shares of the said class held by them respectively  provided
          that if at the date a  transfer  notice is given in  respect of either
          class of "A"  preference  shares  there is no  member  other  than the
          proposing  transferor  who  holds  shares  of the  same  class  of "A"
          preference  shares  comprised in the transfer notice then both classes
          of "A"  preference  shares  shall  rank as one class of shares for the
          purposes of this  Article  8.2.  Such offer shall be made by notice in
          writing  (hereinafter  called "the offer  notice")  within  seven days
          after the receipt by the  Company of the  transfer  notice.  The offer
          notice shall:-

          8.2.1state the identity of the  proposing  transferor,  the number and
               class of shares  comprised in the transfer  notice (in accordance
               with  Article  8.A.1)  and the price per share  specified  in the
               transfer  notice  and inform the class  members  that  shares are
               offered to them in accordance with the provisions of this Article
               8.2;

          8.2.2contain a  statement  to the effect  that the shares are  offered
               only in the  proportion  referred to in the  opening  sentence of
               this Article 8.2 ;

          8.2.3contain a statement  of the right of each class member to request
               a  certificate  of fair value under Article 8.3, the form of such
               statement  to be as near as  circumstances  permit to that of the
               first sentence of that Article;

          8.2.4contain a  statement  to the  effect  that each of the  shares in
               question  is being  offered to class  members at the lower of the
               price  specified in the transfer  notice and (if  applicable) its
               fair value certified in accordance with Article 8.3;

          8.2.5state the  period in which the offer may be  accepted  if no such
               certificate  of fair  value is  requested  (not  being  less than
               twenty-two days or more than forty-two days after the date of the
               offer notice); and

          8.2.6contain a statement to the effect that, if such a certificate  of
               fair  value  is  requested,   the  offer  will  remain  open  for
               acceptance  until  the  expiry  of  a  period  of  fourteen  days
               commencing on the date of the notice of the certified  fair value
               given to class  members  pursuant  to  Article  8.3 or until  the
               expiry of the period  referred to in Article  8.2.5  whichever is
               the later.

     For the purpose of this  Article an offer shall be deemed to be accepted on
     the day on which the  acceptance is received by the Company.  If any shares
     shall not be capable of being offered to the class members in proportion to
     their  existing  holdings,  except by way of  fractions  the same  shall be
     offered to the class members,  or some of them, in such  proportions as the
     directors may think fit.

     8.3  Any class  member may, not later than eight days after the date of the
          offer notice, serve on the Company a notice in writing requesting that
          the auditors for the time being of the Company  certify in writing the
          sum which in their  opinion  represents  the fair  value of each share
          comprised in the transfer notice as at the date of the transfer notice
          on the basis of a willing seller and a willing buyer.  If the auditors
          decline such  appointment at their  discretion then a person nominated
          by the  President  for the time being of the  Institute  of  Chartered
          Accountants  in the  country  of the  situation  of the  office on the
          application  of the  directors  or any  class  member on behalf of the
          Company shall be instructed to give such certificate and any following
          reference in these  Articles to the auditors  shall include any person
          so nominated.  Forthwith upon receipt of such notice the Company shall
          instruct  the  auditors  to  certify  as  aforesaid  and the  costs of
          producing such  certificate  shall be apportioned  among the proposing
          transferor  and the  purchasing  class members and borne by any one or
          more  of them as the  auditors  in  their  absolute  discretion  shall
          decide.  Subject as  provided  below in  certifying  the fair value as
          aforesaid:-

          8.3.1the auditors shall be entitled to obtain professional  valuations
               in respect of any of the Company's assets and shall be considered
               to be acting as experts and not as  arbitrators  or arbiters  and
               accordingly  any  provisions  of  law  or  statute   relating  to
               arbitration shall not apply; and

          8.3.2the auditors  shall value each share on the basis of the value of
               (i) the  Company as a going  concern at the date of the  transfer
               notice (after taking into account any contingent liability of the
               Company  for  taxation  on  unrealised   capital  gains  and  any
               contingent taxation); (ii) the right attaching to each such share
               including  without  limitation  in respect of accrued  but unpaid
               interest;  and (iii)  without any discount  for a minority  share
               holding.

          Provided  that if a third party  purchaser has offered to acquire from
          the  proposing  transferor  all the shares  comprised  in the transfer
          notice and the proposing transferor provides evidence  satisfactory to
          the  purchasing  class  members  that  such  agreement  is a bona fide
          agreement,  then the fair value of such  shares  shall be deemed to be
          the price which the third party  purchaser  has offered to pay and the
          auditors  shall  certify the fair value  accordingly.  Forthwith  upon
          receipt of the  certificate  of the  auditors,  the  Company  shall by
          notice in writing inform all class members of the certified fair value
          of each share and of the price per share (being the lower of the price
          specified in the transfer  notice and the certified fair value of each
          share)  at which the  shares  comprised  in the  transfer  notice  are
          offered for sale. A transfer  notice may be withdrawn by the proposing
          transferor by written  notice to the Company within 10 days of receipt
          of the Company's  written  notice  confirming all class members of the
          certified fair value of each share if the same is lower than the price
          specified in the transfer notice and the proposing transferee does not
          wish to sell the shares the subject of the transfer notice at the fair
          value. In this event the proposing  transferor shall pay the auditors'
          costs in producing the certified fair value.

     8.4  If  purchasing  class  members  shall  be  found  for all  the  shares
          comprised  in  the  transfer  notice  within  the  appropriate  period
          specified  in  Article  8.2,  and the  transfer  notice  has not  been
          withdrawn  pursuant to Article  8.3 above the Company  shall not later
          than  seven  days after the  expiry of such  appropriate  period  give
          notice  in  writing  (hereinafter  called  "the sale  notice")  to the
          proposing  transferor  specifying the purchasing class members and the
          proposing  transferor  shall be bound upon payment of the price due in
          respect of all the shares comprised in the transfer notice to transfer
          the shares to the purchasing class members.

     8.5  If  the  Company  shall  not  give  a sale  notice  to  the  proposing
          transferor  within the time specified in Article 8.4 or subject to the
          proviso contained in Article 8.2 if at the date of the transfer notice
          there is no  member  other  than the  proposing  transferor  who holds
          shares of the same class as those  comprised in the  transfer  notice,
          the transfer  notice shall  thenceforth  be deemed to  constitute  the
          Company the agent of the proposing transferor for the sale of all (but
          not some only) of the shares comprised in the transfer notice together
          with all rights then attached thereto to any member or members willing
          to  purchase  the same  (whether  or not a class  member) at the price
          specified  therein or at the fair value  certified in accordance  with
          Article  8.3  (whichever  shall be the  lower).  In any such  case the
          provisions  of Articles  8.2 to 8.4  (inclusive)  shall apply  mutatis
          mutandis as if references therein to class members were to members (of
          whatever  class) and  references to  purchasing  class members were to
          purchasing  members  (of  whatever  class)  and as if the  period  for
          service of the offer notice  referred to in Article 8.2 was the period
          of seven days  immediately  following  the  expiry of the  appropriate
          period  for  service  of a sale  notice on  purchasing  class  members
          without such a sale notice being served.

     8.6  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  Article  8.5 but  subject to the
          provisions of Article 8.8, if purchasing class members shall have been
          found for some only of the shares  comprised  in the  transfer  notice
          pursuant to Article 8.2 the claims of such  purchasing  class  members
          made pursuant to Article 8.2 shall first be satisfied in preference to
          the claims of members of any other class made pursuant to Article 8.5.

     8.7  If in any case the proposing  transferor  after having become bound in
          accordance  with the  provisions of this Article 8 to transfer  shares
          makes default in transferring  any such shares the Company may receive
          the  purchase  money on his behalf and may  authorise  some  person to
          execute a transfer of such shares on behalf of and as attorney for the
          proposing  transferor  in favour  of the  purchasing  class  member or
          purchasing  members as the case may be. The receipt of the Company for
          the purchase money shall be a good  discharge to the purchasing  class
          member or purchasing members as the case may be. The Company shall pay
          the  purchase  money into a separate  bank  account and shall hold the
          same on trust for the proposing transferor.

     8.8  If  the  Company  shall  not  give  a sale  notice  to  the  proposing
          transferor  within the time  specified  for that purpose (by virtue of
          Article 8.5) in Article 8.4 in respect of sales to purchasing  members
          of  whatever  class,  he shall,  during the period of thirty days next
          following  the  expiry  of the time so  specified,  be at  liberty  to
          transfer all or any of the shares  comprised in the transfer notice to
          any person or persons  provided that the price per share obtained upon
          such share transfer shall in no  circumstances  be less than the price
          per share  specified in the transfer  notice served in accordance with
          Article 8.1 or as certified in accordance  with Article 8.3 (whichever
          shall be the lower) and the  proposing  transferor  shall upon request
          furnish such  information  to the  directors as they shall  require in
          relation to the price per share  obtained as aforesaid.  The directors
          may require to be satisfied that such shares are being  transferred in
          pursuance  of a bona  fide  sale for the  consideration  stated in the
          transfer  without  deduction,  rebate or allowance  whatsoever  to the
          purchaser,  and  if not so  satisfied,  may  refuse  to  register  the
          instrument of transfer.

     8.9  Any  transfer  or  purported  transfer  of a share  (other  than  upon
          transmission  of a share pursuant to regulation 29 of Table A upon the
          death of a member  or upon a person  becoming  entitled  to a share in
          consequence  of the  bankruptcy  of a member) made  otherwise  than in
          accordance  with the  foregoing  provisions  of Articles  8.A.1 to 8.8
          (inclusive) shall be null and void and of no effect.

     8.10 If and when  required by notice in writing by the holder or holders of
          (in  aggregate) a majority in nominal value of the other shares in the
          Company so to do (the "call notice"):-

          8.10.1 a member who transfers or purports to transfer any share in the
               Company in breach of the foregoing  provisions of these  Articles
               shall be bound to give transfer  notices in respect of all shares
               which he has  transferred  or  purported to transfer in breach of
               these  Articles  and any shares  which he is  required  to give a
               transfer  notice in respect  thereof in  accordance  with Article
               8.A.1; or

          8.10.2 a member who causes or permits any of the events  specified  in

               transfer  notices in respect of all the shares  registered in the
               name of such member in accordance with Article 8.A.1.

          In the  event  of such  member  failing  to  serve a  transfer  notice
          pursuant to Article 8.10.1 or 8.10.2 within thirty days of the date of
          the call  notice such  member  shall be deemed to have given  transfer
          notices at the  expiration of such period of thirty days in respect of
          all shares  registered in the name of such member in  accordance  with
          Article 8.A.1 and to have specified therein as the price per share the
          fair value of each share to be  certified in  accordance  with Article
          8.3. The  provisions  of Articles 8.2 to 8.8  (inclusive)  and Article
          8.13 shall mutatis mutandis apply.

     8.11 The events specified for the purposes of Article 8.10 are:-

          8.11.1 any direction (by way of renunciation  nomination or otherwise)
               by a member entitled to an allotment or transfer of shares to the

               becoming  entitled to such share in  consequence  of the death or

               Articles;

               purpose  of  reconstruction  or  amalgamation)  or  suffering  an
               administrative  receiver to be  appointed  over all or any of its
               assets or suffering an administration order to be made against it
               or anything  analogous to any of the  foregoing  under the law of
               any jurisdiction occurs in relation to that corporate member.

     8.12 The directors shall not register any transfer of shares if as a result
          of such  transfer  there would be Default  pursuant to (and as defined
          in) the Credit Agreement.

     8.13 The directors may, in their absolute  discretion and without assigning
          any reason  therefor,  decline to register  any  transfer  which would
          otherwise be permitted under the foregoing  provisions of this Article
          8 if it is a transfer  of a share on which the Company has a lien of a
          share (not being a fully paid  share) to a person who is not already a
          member  and of whom they shall not  approve.  The  directors  may also
          refuse to register a transfer unless:-

          8.13.1 it is  lodged  at the  office  or at such  other  place  as the
               directors may appoint and is accompanied by the  certificate  for
               the shares to which it relates  and such  other  evidence  as the
               directors  may  reasonably  require  to  show  the  right  of the
               transferor to make the transfer; and

          8.13.2 it is in respect of only one class of shares; and

          8.13.3 it is in favour of not more than four transferees.

          The  directors  shall  register a transfer of shares made  pursuant to
          Articles  8.A.1 to 8.8  (inclusive)  or  Article  8.14  subject to the
          provisions  of this  Article 8.13 and Article  8.15  Regulation  24 of
          Table A shall not apply to the Company.

     8.14 Subject to Article 8.12 and Article 8.13 but notwithstanding any other
          provision  contained in these Articles,  the  restrictions on transfer
          contained in this Article 8 shall not apply to:-

               always that if the transferee  company ceases to be an associated
               undertaking  at any time the  transferee  company shall within 10
               days of such cessation  transfer all shares held by it to another
               associated  undertaking of the original corporate member provided
               that if the transferee company defaults in making such a transfer
               within the time period specified the transferee  company shall be

               held by it and to have  specified  therein as the price per share
               the fair value of each share to be certified in  accordance  with
               Article  8.3  and  the   provisions  of  Articles  8.A.1  to  8.8
               (inclusive ) and Article 8.13 shall mutatis mutandis apply;

          8.14.2 any  transfer  by a  corporate  member to a  company  formed to
               acquire the whole or  substantially  the whole of the undertaking
               and  assets  of such  corporate  member  as part of a  scheme  of
               amalgamation or reconstruction.

12.1 An alternate  director  shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings

     (within the meaning of section  736A(2) of the Act) shall have power at any
     time, and from time to time, to appoint any person to be a director, either
     as an additional director (provided that the appointment does not cause the
     number of  directors to exceed any number  determined  in  accordance  with
     Article  11.2 as the  maximum  number of  directors  for the time  being in
     force)  or to  fill a  vacancy  and to  remove  from  office  any  director
     howsoever  appointed.  Any such  appointment  or  removal  shall be made by
     notice in writing to the Company signed by the member or members making the
     same or, in the case of a member being a corporate  body,  signed by one of

     either to fill a vacancy or as an  additional  director,  provided that the
     appointment  does not cause the  number of  directors  to exceed any number
     determined  in  accordance  with  Article  11.2 as the  maximum  number  of
     directors for the time being in force.

13.5 If,  immediately  following  and as a result of the death of a member,  the
     company  has no  members  and if at  that  time  it has no  directors,  the
     personal  representatives  of the deceased member may appoint any person to
     be a director and the  director who is appointed  will have the same rights
     and be  subject to the same  duties  and  obligations  as if  appointed  by
     ordinary  resolution in accordance with Article 13.3. If two members die in
     circumstances rendering it uncertain which of them survived the other, such
     deaths shall, for the purposes of this Article,  be deemed to have occurred
     in order of seniority and  accordingly  the younger shall be deemed to have
     survived the elder.

     by these Articles to be vested in the directors  generally and  regulations
     89 and 90 of Table A shall be modified accordingly.

16.2 Subject to the provisions of the Act, and provided that he has disclosed to
     the  directors  the nature and  extent of any  interest  of his, a director

          of Articles 16.2.1 to 16.2.4 (inclusive) or on any resolution which in
          any way  concerns or relates to a matter in which he has,  directly or
          indirectly,  any kind of interest  whatsoever  and if he shall vote on

     of the directors or a committee of the directors of which he is a member by
     means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment whereby
     all  persons   participating  in  the  meeting  can  hear  each  other  and
     participation  in a meeting in this  manner  shall be deemed to  constitute
     presence in person at such meeting and,  subject to these  Articles and the

     convene a general  meeting  by notices  sent  through  the post,  a general
     meeting  may be convened by a notice  advertised  in at least one  national
     daily newspaper and such notice shall be deemed to have been duly served on
     all  members  entitled  thereto  at noon on the day when the  advertisement

          chairman of the meeting then is.

     16.5 Regulation  88 of Table A shall be  amended  by  substituting  for the
          sentence:-

association,  or other  organization  in which one or more of its  directors  or
officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest,  shall be void
or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is
present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee
thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction,  or solely because his/her

his/her or their  relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction
are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the  committee,  and the
Board of  Directors  or  committee  in good faith  authorizes  the  contract  or
transaction  by  the  affirmative  votes  of a  majority  of  the  disinterested

to the contract or  transaction  are disclosed or are known to the  stockholders
entitled to vote  thereon,  and the  contract  or  transaction  is  specifically
approved  in good faith by vote of the  stockholders;  or (iii) the  contract or
transaction  is  fair as to the  Corporation  as of the  time it is  authorized,
approved or  ratified,  by the Board of  Directors,  a committee  thereof or the
stockholders.  Common or interested  directors may be counted in determining the
presence  of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of  Directors  or of a committee
which authorizes the contract or transaction.

partnership,  joint venture,  trust,  employee  benefit plan or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him/her in  connection  with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she  reasonably  believed to be in
or not  opposed  to the  best  interests  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 his/her duty to the  Corporation,  unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon  application  that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the  circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

     Section 8.3.  Authorization of Indemnification.  Any indemnification  under
this Article VIII (unless  ordered by a court) shall be made by the  Corporation
only  as   authorized   in  the  specific   case  upon  a   determination   that
indemnification  of the  director  or  officer  is proper  in the  circumstances
because he/she has met the  applicable  standard of conduct set forth in Section
8.1 or Section 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such  determination
shall  be made (i) by the  Board of  Directors  by a  majority  vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding,
or (ii) if such a quorum is not  obtainable,  or, even if obtainable a quorum of
disinterested  directors so directs,  by independent  legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.  To the extent,  however, that a director
or officer of the  Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding  described above, or in defense of any
claim,  issue or matter therein,  he/she shall be indemnified  against  expenses
(including  attorneys'  fees)  actually  and  reasonably  incurred by him/her in
connection  therewith,  without the necessity of  authorization  in the specific
case.

          Any  determination   made  by  the   disinterested   directors  or  by
     independent legal counsel under this section shall be promptly communicated
     to the person  who  threatened  or brought  the action or suit by or in the
     right of the  Corporation  under  Section 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII,
     and, within ten days after receipt of such notification, such persons shall
     have the right to petition the court (at courts'  discretion) in which such
     action  or  suit  was  brought  to  review  the   reasonableness   of  such
     determination.

     Section 8.4. Good Faith Defined.  For purposes of any  determination  under
Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good
faith and in a manner he/she reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the  Corporation,  or, with respect to any criminal  action or
proceeding,  to have had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his/her  conduct  was
unlawful,  if his/her  action is based on the records or books of account of the
Corporation or another enterprise,  or on information supplied to him/her by the
officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties,
or on the advice of legal counsel for the  Corporation or another  enterprise or
on  information  or records given or reports made to the  Corporation or another
enterprise by an independent certified public accountant,  or by an appraiser or
other  expert  selected  with  reasonable  care by the  Corporation  or  another
enterprise. The term "another enterprise" as used in this Section 8.4 shall mean
any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other  enterprise  of which such person is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director,  officer, employee or agent. The provisions of
this  Section 8.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the
circumstances  in  which a  person  may be  deemed  to have  met the  applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Sections  8.1 or 8.2 of this Article  VIII,  as
the case may be.

     Section  8.5.  Indemnification  by a Court.  Notwithstanding  any  contrary
determination  in the specific case under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII,  and
notwithstanding  the absence of any  determination  thereunder,  any director or
officer  may  apply  to any  court of  competent  jurisdiction  in the  State of
Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise  permissible under Sections
8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such  indemnification  by a court
shall be a determination by such court that  indemnification  of the director or
officer is proper in the  circumstances  because  he/she has met the  applicable
standards of conduct set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article  VIII,  as
the case may be.  Neither a contrary  determination  in the specific  case under
Section 8.3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder
shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director
or  officer  seeking  indemnification  has not met any  applicable  standard  of
conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification  pursuant to this Section
8.5  shall  be  given  to the  Corporation  promptly  upon  the  filing  of such
application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking
indemnification  shall also be entitled  to be paid the  expense of  prosecuting
such application.

     Section 8.6.  Expenses Payable in Advance.  Expenses incurred by a director
or officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or
proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final  disposition
of such  action,  suit or  proceeding  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on
behalf of such  director or officer to repay such amount if it shall  ultimately
be determined  that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by the  Corporation
as authorized in this Article VIII.

     Section 8.7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
The  indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant
to this Article VIII shall not be deemed  exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking  indemnification  or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any other provision of these By-Laws, or similarly entitled under any agreement,
contract,  vote of stockholders or disinterested  directors,  or pursuant to the
direction  (howsoever  embodied)  of any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  or
otherwise,  both as to action in his/her  official  capacity and as to action in
another  capacity  while  holding  such  office,  it  being  the  policy  of the
Corporation that  indemnification  of the persons  specified in Sections 8.1 and
8.2 of this  Article  VIII  shall be made to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by
statute. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the
indemnification  of any person who is not  specified  in Sections  8.1 or 8.2 of
this Article  VIII,  but whom the  Corporation  has the power or  obligation  to
indemnify  under  the  provisions  of  statute  of the  State  of  Delaware,  or
otherwise.

     Section 8.8. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the  Corporation,
or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation  serving at the request of
the  Corporation  as  a  director,   officer,   employee  or  agent  of  another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise  against any  liability  asserted  against  him/her  and  incurred by
him/her in any such capacity,  or arising out of his/her status as such, whether
or not the  Corporation  would  have the power or the  obligation  to  indemnify
him/her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

     Section  8.9.  Certain  Definitions.  For  purposes of this  Article  VIII,
references  to "the  Corporation"  shall  include,  in addition to the resulting
corporation,  any  constituent  corporation  (including  any  constituent  of  a
constituent)  absorbed  in a  consolidation  or merger  which,  if its  separate
existence  had  continued,  would have had power and  authority to indemnify its
directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of
such  constituent  corporation,  or is or was a  director  or  officer  of  such
constituent  corporation serving at the request of such constituent  corporation
as a director,  officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,  shall stand in
the same position  under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the
resulting  or  surviving  corporation  as he/she would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of
this Article VIII, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed
on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving
at the  request of the  Corporation"  shall  include  any service as a director,
officer,  employee  or agent of the  Corporation  which  imposes  duties  on, or
involves  services  by,  such  director or officer  with  respect to an employee
benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries;  and a person who acted in good
faith and in a manner he/she reasonably  believed to be in the best interests of
the participants  and  beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed
to  have  acted  in  a  manner  "not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of  the
Corporation", as referred to in this Article VIII.

     Section 8.10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.  The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Article VIII shall,  unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue  as to a person who has ceased to be a  director  or officer  and shall
inure to the  benefit  of the  heirs,  executors  and  administrators  of such a
person.

     Section  8.11.  Limitation  on  Indemnification.  Notwithstanding  anything
contained  in this  Article  VIII to the  contrary,  except for  proceedings  to
enforce  rights to  indemnification  (which  shall be  governed  by Section  8.5
hereof),  the  Corporation  shall not be obligated to indemnify  any director or
officer in  connection  with a proceeding  (or part  thereof)  initiated by such
person unless such  proceeding  (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

          The Corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly  successful,
     on merits or otherwise,  in the defense of any  proceedings to which he/she
     was a party  because  he/she  was a  director  of the  Corporation  against
     reasonable expenses incurred by him/her in connection with the proceeding.

     Section 8.12. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may,
to the extent  authorized  from time to time by the Board of Directors,  provide
rights to  indemnification  and to the  advancement of expenses to employees and
agents of the  Corporation,  similar to those  conferred in this Article VIII to
directors and officers of the Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   Amendments

     Section 9.1. Amendments. These By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed,
in whole or in part, or new By-Laws may be adopted:  (i) by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the  holders of record of the  outstanding  shares  entitled to
vote thereon, or by the written consent of the holders of record of a two-thirds
majority of the  outstanding  shares  entitled to vote  thereon,  except as such
alteration,  amendment  or  repeal  by  any  vote  or  written  consent  of  the
stockholders is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute; or (ii) by a majority
vote of the Board of Directors,  or by unanimous  written  consent of the board,
except  as such  alteration,  amendment  or  repeal by any vote or action of the
board is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                Emergency By-Laws

     Section 10.1.  Emergency By-Laws.  The Emergency By-Laws shall be operative
during any emergency in the conduct of the business of the Corporation resulting
from an attack on the United  States or on a locality  in which the  Corporation
conducts its business or customarily holds meetings of its Board of Directors or
its  stockholders,  or during  any  nuclear  or atomic  disaster,  or during the
existence of any catastrophe,  or similar  emergency  condition,  as a result of
which a quorum of the Board of Directors or a standing  committee thereof cannot
readily be convened for action, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
the preceding By-Laws,  in the Certificate of Incorporation,  or in the statute.
To the extent not  inconsistent  with the  provisions of this Section 10.1,  the
By-Laws of the Corporation shall remain in effect during any emergency, and upon
its  termination,  the  Emergency  By-Laws  shall  cease  to be  operative.  Any
amendments  to  these  Emergency  By-Laws  may  make any  further  or  different
provision  that may be  practical  and  necessary  for the  circumstance  of the
emergency.

          During any such emergency:  (A) a meeting of the Board of Directors or
     a  committee  thereof  may be  called by any  officer  or  director  of the
     Corporation. Notice of the time and place of the meeting or conference call
     shall be given by the person  calling the meeting to such of the  directors
     as it may be feasible to reach by any means of  communication.  Such notice
     shall be given at such time in  advance  of the  meeting  as  circumstances
     permit in the judgment of the person calling the meeting;  (B) the director
     or directors in attendance at the meeting  shall  constitute a quorum;  (C)
     the officers or other persons designated on a list approved by the Board of
     Directors  before the emergency,  all in such order of priority and subject
     to such  conditions and for such period of time (not longer than reasonably
     necessary after the termination of the emergency) as may be provided in the
     resolution  approving the list,  shall, to the extent required to provide a
     quorum at any meeting of the Board of  Directors,  be deemed the  directors
     for such meeting;  (D) the Board of Directors,  either before or during any
     such  emergency,  may  provide,  and  from  time to time  modify,  lines of
     succession  in the event that during such  emergency any or all officers or
     agents of the  Corporation  shall for any reason be rendered  incapable  of
     discharging  their  duties;  (E) the Board of  Directors,  either before or
     during any such emergency, may, effective in the emergency, change the head
     office or designate  several  alternative head offices or regional offices,
     or  authorize  the  officers  so to do; and (F) to the extent  required  to
     constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors during such an
     emergency, the officers of the Corporation who are present shall be deemed,
     in order of rank  and  within  the  same  rank in order of  seniority,  the
     directors for such meeting.

          No  officer,  director  or  employee  acting  in  accordance  with any
     provision of these  Emergency  By-Laws  shall be liable  except for willful
     misconduct.

          These Emergency  By-Laws shall be subject to alteration,  amendment or
     repeal by the further  actions of the Board of Directors or stockholders of
     the Corporation.

                              ARTICLE IV MANAGEMENT

          affairs of the Company  shall be managed by or under the  direction of
          the Board of Managers. Other than rights and powers expressly reserved
          to  Members  by this  Agreement  of the  Delaware  Act,  the  Board of
          Managers shall have full,  exclusive and complete discretion to manage
          and  control the  business  and  affairs of the  Company,  to make all
          decisions  affecting  the  business  and affairs of the Company and to
          take  all  such  actions  as it  deems  necessary  or  appropriate  to
          accomplish the purposes of the Company as set forth herein.

     (b)  Duties.  The Board of Managers  shall be  obligated  to devote only as
          much of their time to the  Company's  business as shall be  reasonably
          required in light of the Company's business and objectives.  A Manager
          shall  perform his or her duties in good faith,  in a manner he or she
          reasonably  believes to be in the best  interests of the Company,  and
          with  such care as an  ordinarily  prudent  person in a like  position
          would use under similar circumstances.

     (c)  Board Composition;  Removal and Vacancies.  Cinergy Solutions shall be
          entitled  to  designate  one-half  of the  Managers  to the  Board  of
          Managers  and Trigen  Solutions  shall be  entitled to  designate  the
          remaining  half  of the  Managers  to the  Board  of  Managers.  Those
          Managers  designated to the Board of Managers by Cinergy Solutions are
          referred  to  herein as the  "Cinergy  Solutions  Managers"  and those
          Managers  designated to the Board of Managers by Trigen  Solutions are
          referred to herein as the "Trigen  Solutions  Managers".  Each Manager
          shall  serve  until  his  or  her  removal,   resignation,   death  or
          retirement.  Each Member shall vote all of its Interest and shall take
          all other action necessary or desirable within its control (including,
          without  limitation,  attendance at meetings in person or by proxy and
          execution  of  written  consents  in lieu of  meetings),  so that  the
          designees  of the  other  Member  are  duly  elected  to the  Board of
          Managers.  Upon the removal,  resignation,  death or  retirement  of a
          Manager,  or vacation of office by any Manager for any reason,  his or
          her  successor  shall be  nominated  and elected by the same Member as
          originally  proposed by the former  Manager.  Any successor so elected
          shall  retain  his or her office  during  such time only as the former
          Manager was entitled to retain the same.  Trigen  Solutions shall have
          the exclusive right to remove any Trigen Solutions Manager at any time
          and for any reason  whatsoever  and to fill the  vacancy of the Trigen
          Solutions  Managers,  and Cinergy  Solutions  shall have the exclusive
          right to remove any Cinergy  Solutions Manager at any time and for any
          reason  whatsoever  and to fill the vacancy of the  Cinergy  Solutions
          Managers.

     (d)  Restrictions on the Board. The Board of Managers shall not: (i) do any
          act in contravention of any applicable law or regulation, or provision
          of this  Agreement;  (ii)  possess  Company  property for other than a
          Company purpose;  or (iii) admit any new Members without the unanimous
          consent of  existing  Members or without  compliance  with  Article XI
          hereof.

     Section 4.2. Notice.

times as the  Board of  Managers  may from  time to time  determine  and,  if so
determined  by a quorum of the Board of Managers,  no advance  notice of meeting
need be  given.  Any three (3)  Managers  may at any time call a meeting  of the
Board of  Managers.  Written  notice of the time,  place,  and  purpose  of such
meeting shall be served by registered or certified,  prepaid first class,  mail,
or by fax or cable, upon each member of the Board of Managers and shall be given
at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time of the meeting. No notice need
be given to any Manager if a written waiver of notice,  executed before or after
the meeting by such Manager thereunto duly authorized, is filed with the records
of the  meeting,  or to any Manager who attends the meeting  without  protesting
prior  thereto  or at its  commencement  the lack of notice to him.  A waiver of

committee designated by the board, may participate in a meeting of such Board or
committee by means of conference telephone or similar  communications  equipment

business  at a meeting  of the Board of  Managers,  provided,  that at least one

Managers present at the meeting.

     Section 4.5. Action Without a Meeting.

     Any action  which is required to be, or which may be,  taken at any annual,
regular or special  meeting of the Board of Managers or otherwise,  may be taken
without a meeting,  without  prior  notice and  without a vote,  if a consent in
writing,  setting  forth  the  action  so  taken,  shall be signed by all of the
Managers  in office.  Any such  written  consent  may be executed in two or more
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same document.

     Section 4.6. Delegation of Powers.

     Subject  to any  limitation  set forth in the  Delaware  Act,  the Board of
Managers may delegate any of its powers to committees or to officers  consisting
of persons who may or may not be Managers.  Every officer or committee shall, in
the exercise of the power so delegated, comply with any restrictions that may be
imposed on them by the Board of Managers.

     Section 4.7. Executive Committee.

     The Board of Managers shall have an Executive  Committee  consisting of two
(2) Managers,  one Cinergy  Solutions  Manager and one Trigen Solutions  Manager
(the "Executive  Committee").  Actions of the Executive  Committee shall require
unanimous consent of both Managers.  Meetings of the Executive  Committee may be
called by any member  thereof upon  twenty-four  (24) hours' prior  notice.  The
Executive  Committee  shall be  empowered  to act on such matters as may be from
time to time delegated to it by the Board of Managers and in accordance with the
terms and conditions of any such delegation.

     Section 4.8. Chairperson and Vice Chairperson.

     The Board of Managers shall designate one of its members as the Chairperson
and another as the Vice  Chairperson.  The Cinergy Managers shall have the right
to designate the Chairperson serving for a three-year term from the formation of
the Company.  The next  Chairperson  shall be designated by the Trigen Solutions
Managers  and  shall  serve  for a term of three (3)  years,  with the  position
thereafter alternating for three-year terms between the designees of each of the
Cinergy Managers and the Trigen Solutions Managers.  A Vice Chairperson shall be
designated  by the Managers  whose  designee is not serving as the  Chairperson.
Neither the  Chairperson nor the Vice  Chairperson  shall have any additional or
special  voting  rights and either may be replaced at any time during his or her
term by the Managers by whom initially designated. The Chairperson shall preside
over all meetings of the Board of Managers.  In the absence of the  Chairperson,
the Vice Chairperson shall preside over a meeting of the Board of Managers.  The

          subject to the prior consent of Cinergy Solutions (which consent shall
          not be unreasonably  withheld).  Annually,  for the initial three-year
          period  from the  formation  of the  Company,  the  Cinergy  Solutions
          Managers  shall have the right to appoint each of the  Executive  Vice

          three-year  period,  the Board of Managers shall determine  whether to
          continue   such   officer-appointment   procedure  or  adopt   another
          procedure.

     (b)  Election, Term of Office, Qualifications,  and Compensation. Except as

          those of the Chief Executive Officer,  the Chief Operating Officer and

          executed, acknowledged or verified by any two (2) or more officers.

     (c)  Resignations and Removals. Any Officer may resign his or her office at
          any time by delivering a written  resignation  to the Chief  Executive
          Officer or the Secretary.  Unless otherwise  specified  therein,  such
          resignation  shall take effect upon  delivery.  Except as set forth in
          Section 4.9(a), any Officer may be removed from office with or without
          cause by the Board of Managers.

     (d)  Vacancies  and Newly Created  Offices.  Except as set forth in Section
          4.9(a),  if any vacancy  shall occur in any office by reason of death,
          resignation,  removal,  disqualification or other cause, or if any new
          office shall be created,  such vacancies or newly created  offices may
          be filled by the Board of Managers.

          and such  officers  shall  have full power and  authority  to make all
          business  decisions,  enter into all  commitments  and take such other
          actions in connection  with the business and operations of the Company
          as they deem appropriate.  Such officers shall perform their duties in
          a manner consistent with the Certificate and this Agreement,  and with
          directions  which  may be  given  from  time to time by the  Board  of
          Manages.

          of Managers, the Chief Executive Officer shall have general and active
          management of the business of the Company  subject to the  supervision
          of the Board of Managers, shall see that all orders and resolutions of

          this Agreement.

          and the  Board of  Managers  and  record  all the  proceedings  of the

          perform  such  other  duties  as may be  prescribed  by the  Board  of
          Managers or the Chief Executive  Officer,  under whose supervision the
          Secretary shall be. The Assistant  Secretary,  if there be one, shall,
          in the  absence of the  Secretary  or in the event of the  Secretary's
          inability  to act,  perform the duties and  exercise the powers of the

          such other  subordinate  officers or agents as it may deem  advisable,
          each of whom shall have such title, hold office for such period,  have
          such  authority  and perform  such duties as the Board of Managers may

V DEADLOCK RESOLUTION

     Section 5.1. Deadlocks.

     A "Deadlock" shall be a fundamental  breakdown in the relationship  between
the parties as evidenced by the sequence of events described below.

     (a)  A Member or a Manager  (the  "Proponent"),  advances a  proposal  (the
          "Proposal") for consideration at a meeting of the Board of Managers or
          Members of the Company; and

     (b)  Prior to the meeting at which the Proposal is advanced,  the Proponent
          notifies the Board of Managers  and/or  Members that it considers  the
          Proposal  to be  essential  to  the  continuance  of  the  Proponent's
          investment in the Company, specifying the reasons therefore; and

     (c)  The  Proposal is not approved at that meeting (as a result of either a
          rejection  thereof  or a failure  to  consider  it) or the  meeting is
          canceled  by  reason  of  a  lack  of  a  quorum  resulting  from  the
          non-attendance of the non-Proponent Member's designees,  at which time
          a Deadlock will be deemed to have occurred.

     Section 5.2. Resolution Mechanism.

     (a)  Upon the  occurrence  of a  Deadlock,  the  Proponent  may  cause  the
          Proposal  and the  Deadlock  to be  referred  to the  Chief  Executive
          Officers  of the  ultimate  U.S.  parent  company  of  each  of  their
          respective  Affiliated  group of  companies  (i.e.,  Trigen  Solutions
          Energy  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation,  in the case of Trigen
          Solutions and Cinergy  Corp., a Delaware  corporation,  in the case of
          Cinergy  Solutions).  If such Chief  Executive  Officers are unable to
          resolve the Deadlock  within ten (10) business days  thereafter,  then
          (but  only  then)  the  provisions  of  Section  5.2(b)  shall  apply;
          provided,  however,  that the  provisions of Section  5.2(b) shall not
          apply until the first  anniversary  of the  formation  of the Company,
          unless a failure to act by the Company  would  result in a breach of a
          material  agreement  to which the  Company is a party or  violate  any
          applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

     (b)  (i)  Within  thirty  (30) days  after the  expiration  of the ten (10)
          business-day  period referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Proponent
          may offer to purchase  ("Purchase  Offer") all (but not less than all)
          of the Interests and any indebtedness of the Company (collectively the
          "Applicable   Interest")  owned  by  the  other  Member   ("Offeree"),
          specifying  (x) the  aggregate  price  to be paid  for the  Applicable
          Interest  (which  aggregate  price shall specify  separately the price
          placed by the Proponent on each component of the  Applicable  Interest
          and be payable  only in cash_ and other  terms and  conditions  of the
          Purchase  Offer,  (y) a date  by  which  the  Purchase  Offer  must be
          accepted  (which may not be less than  thirty  (30) days nor more than
          sixty  (60)  days  after  the date the  Purchase  Offer is made)  (the
          "Acceptance Date") and (z) a proposed settlement date (the "Settlement
          Date")  therefor (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more
          than  sixty  (60)  days  after the  specified  Acceptance  Date).  The
          foregoing  notwithstanding,  the  Settlement  Date may be  extended by
          either  member by  written  notice to the other  Member to the  extent
          reasonably  required  to  accommodate  (i) any  necessary  approval or
          non-objection  by  or  filing  with  any  governmental  or  regulatory
          authority   (each,  a  "Regulatory   Approval")   including,   without
          limitation,  under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the
          "1935  Act"),  or (ii) the  removal of any liens,  claims,  charges or
          encumbrances  attributable  to the selling  Member and existing on the
          Applicable  Interest (each, a "Lien"),  in either case being sought in
          good  faith  by  appropriate   proceedings   promptly   initiated  and
          diligently conducted by the Member requesting the extension.

          (ii) On or before the  Acceptance  Date, the Offeree may either accept
     the  Purchase  Offer or may by  written  notice to the  Proponent  elect to
     purchase all (but not less than all) of the Proponent's Applicable Interest
     at the  price  and on the  other  terms  and  conditions  specified  by the
     Proponent  in the  Purchase  Offer.  If the  Offeree  neither  accepts  the
     Purchase  Offer  nor  elects  by  the  Acceptance   Date  to  purchase  the
     Proponent's  Applicable  Interest,  the  Offeree  will  be  deemed  to have
     accepted the Purchase Offer.

          (iii)  In  either  event,  the  settlement  will  take  place  on  the
     Settlement  Date, as it may be extended per (b)(i)  immediately  above, and
     the  Proponent  will  purchase,  and the Offeree will sell,  the  Offeree's
     Applicable Interest,  or the Offeree will purchase,  and the Proponent will
     sell, the Proponent's Applicable Interest, as the case may be, at the price
     and place and on the other terms and conditions  specified by the Proponent
     in the Purchase Offer, in either case free and clear of all Liens which are
     not connected with the financing or operation of the Company, at which time
     the Proponent's  Applicable  Interest or the Offeree's  Applicable Interest
     (as the case may be) shall be delivered  against payment of the said price.
     In order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements,  the purchasing
     Member may  designate a third  party to purchase  any portion or all of the
     Applicable  Interest which the  purchasing  Member is committed to purchase
     hereunder.

          their  Capital  Contributions  pursuant  to  this  Section  6.2 and no
          Members  shall be required to lend any funds to the Company or to make

          including, to the extent applicable,  (i) expiration or termination of

          connection  with the  formation  of the Company  and the  transactions
          contemplated by this Agreement and the GM Lansing Project Agreements.

     Section 6.3. Status of Capital Contributions.

     (a)  Except as  otherwise  expressly  provided  in  Article  VII and XI, no
          Member shall have the right to withdraw capital from the Company or to

          Contributions.

     (b)  No Member shall receive any  interest,  salary or drawing with respect

          Member, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

     (c)  No Member shall have  priority  over any other Member either as to the

     Section 6.4. Capital Accounts.

     (a)  There shall be  established  on the books and records of the Company a
          Capital  Account for each Member.  The initial Capital Account balance

     If any Member, at its reasonable  discretion upon reasonable advance notice
to the other Member and only to the extent necessary to meet short-term  working
capital  requirements,  shall  advance any funds to the Company in excess of its
Capital  Contributions,  the amount of such advance shall  neither  increase its
Capital Account nor entitle it to any increase in its share of the distributions
of the Company. The amount of any such advance shall be a debt obligation of the
Company to such Member and shall be repaid to it by the Company at a  reasonable
interest  rate not to exceed a market  rate,  as soon as  practicable.  Any such
advance shall be payable and  collectible  only out of Company  assets,  and the
other Members shall not be  personally  obligated to repay any part thereof.  No
Person who makes any loan to the Company  shall have or acquire,  as a result of
making such loan,  any direct or indirect  interest in the  profits,  capital or
property of the Company, other than as a creditor.

          income,  gain, loss and deduction,  and credit shall be allocated with
          respect to each Fiscal Year (or portion  thereof) among the Members in
          accordance with their respective Interest Percentages.

     (b)  Allocations  for tax purposes  shall be made in the same manner as the
          allocations  set forth under  Section  7.1(a);  however the  following
          adjustments shall be made and applied,  to the extent necessary,  in a
          manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b):

          (i)  The allocations of income,  gain, loss and deduction  pursuant to
               Section  7.1(a)  shall be adjusted  to comply with the  qualified
               income  offset   requirements  of  Treasury   Regulation  Section
               1.704-1(b)  and  the   nonrecourse   deduction  or  minimum  gain
               charge-back requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.

          (ii) Any  special  allocations  pursuant to the  preceding  clause (i)
               required in order to comply with the Treasury  Regulations  shall
               be taken into  account,  to the extent  permitted by the Treasury
               Regulations, in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this
               Section  7.1(b) so that the net amount of any items so  allocated
               and all other items allocated to each Member shall, to the extent
               possible,  be equal to the amount that would have been  allocated
               to each Member had there been no such special allocation.

     (c)  If there is a charge in any  Member's  share of the  distributions  or
          other items of the  Company  during any Fiscal Year as a result of the
          Transfer  (as defined  herein) of an Interest,  allocations  among the
          Members  shall  be made in  accordance  with  their  Interests  in the
          Company from time to time during such Fiscal Year in  accordance  with
          Code  Section  706,  using the  closing-of-the-books  method;  however

          the entire year during which the  corresponding  asset is owned by the
          Company.

the Company,  including the provisions of Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act, or
(ii) to the  extent  that  the  Board of  Managers  determines  that any  amount

              ARTICLE X LIABILITY, EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 10.1. Liability.

     Except as otherwise  provided by the Delaware  Act, the debts,  obligations
and liabilities of the Company,  whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise,
shall be solely the debts,  obligations and  liabilities of the Company,  and no
Covered Person shall be obligated  personally  for any such debt,  obligation or
liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Covered Person.

     Section 10.2. Exculpation.

     (a)  Generally.  No Covered  Person  shall be liable to the  Company or any
          Member  for any act or  omission  taken or  suffered  by such  Covered
          Person in good  faith and in the  reasonable  belief  that such act or
          omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Company
          and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by
          this Agreement,  provided that such act or omission is not in material
          violation of this Agreement and does not constitute  Disabling Conduct
          by the Covered Person. No Member shall be liable to the Company or any
          Member for any action taken by any other Member.

     (b)  Reliance  Generally.  A Covered  Person  shall incur no  liability  in
          acting upon any signature or writing  reasonably  believed by it to be
          genuine,  and may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer
          of any  Person in order to  ascertain  any fact with  respect  to such
          Person or within such Person's knowledge and may rely on an opinion of
          counsel selected by such Covered Person with respect to legal matters,
          except to the extent that such  Covered  Person  engaged in  Disabling
          Conduct. Each Covered Person may act directly or through its agents or
          attorneys.  Each Covered Person may consult with counsel,  appraisers,
          engineers,  accountants and other skilled Persons of its choosing, and
          shall not be liable for  anything  done,  suffered  or omitted in good
          faith in  reasonable  reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons,
          except to the extent that such  Covered  Person  engaged in  Disabling
          Conduct.  No  Covered  Person  shall be liable to the  Company  or any
          Member for any error of judgment  made in good faith by a  responsible
          officer or officers of the Covered  Person,  except to the extent that
          such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct.  Except as otherwise
          provided in this Section  10.2,  no Covered  Person shall be liable to
          the  Company or any Member for any  mistake of fact or judgment by the
          Covered  Person in conducting  the affairs of the Company or otherwise
          acting in respect of and within the scope of this Agreement, except to
          the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling  Conduct.  No
          Covered  Person shall be liable for the return to any Member of all or
          any portion of any Member's Capital Account or Capital  Contributions,
          except to the extent that such  Covered  Person  engaged in  Disabling
          Conduct.

     (c)  Reliance on this Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a
          Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities
          relating thereto to the Company or to the Members,  any Covered Person
          acting under this  Agreement  or otherwise  shall not be liable to the
          Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions
          of this  Agreement.  The provisions of this  Agreement,  to the extent
          that they  restrict  the duties and  liabilities  of a Covered  Person
          otherwise  existing at law or in equity,  are agreed by the Members to
          replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

     (d)  Standard of Care.  Whenever in this Agreement a Person is permitted or
          required to make a decision (i) in its "sole and absolute discretion,"
          "sole discretion,"  "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority
          or latitude,  the Person shall be entitled to consider such  interests
          and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have
          no duty or obligation to give any  consideration to any interest of or
          factors  affecting  the  Company or any other  Person,  or (ii) in its
          "good faith" or under another express  standard,  the Person shall act
          under such  express  standard and shall not be subject to any other or
          different standard imposed by this Agreement or other applicable law.

     Section 10.3. Indemnification.

     (a)  Indemnification  Generally.  The Company shall and hereby does, to the
          fullest extent permitted by applicable law,  indemnify,  hold harmless
          and release each Covered Person from and against all claims,  demands,
          liabilities,  costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and
          actions,   whether   juridical,   administrative,   investigative   or
          otherwise,  of  whatever  nature,  known  or  unknown,  liquidated  or
          unliquidated  ("Claims"),  that may  accrue to or be  incurred  by any
          Covered Person, or in which any Covered Person may become involved, as
          a party  or  otherwise,  or  with  which  any  Covered  Person  may be
          threatened, relating to or arising out of the business and affairs of,
          or activities undertaken in connection with, the Company, or otherwise
          relating  to or  arising  out of this  Agreement,  including,  but not
          limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction  of judgments,  in compromise
          or as fines or penalties  and counsel  fees and  expenses  incurred in
          connection  with the  preparation for or defense or disposition of any
          investigation,  action,  suit,  arbitration  or  other  proceeding  (a
          "Proceeding"),  whether  civil or  criminal  (all of such  Claims  and
          amounts  covered by this Section 10.3 and all expenses  referred to in
          Section 10.3(c),  are referred to as "Damages"),  except to the extent
          that it shall have been determined  ultimately that such Damages arose
          from  Disabling  Conduct of such  Covered  Person or that such Covered
          Person committed a material breach of this Agreement.  The termination
          of any  Proceeding  by  settlement  shall  not,  of  itself,  create a
          presumption  that any Damages relating to such settlement arose from a
          material  violation of this Agreement by, or Disabling Conduct of, any
          Covered Person.

     (b)  No Direct Member Indemnify.  Members shall not be required directly to
          indemnify any Covered Person.

     (c)  Expenses,  etc.  Expenses  incurred by a Covered  Person in defense or
          settlement   of  any  Claim   that  may  be  subject  to  a  right  of
          indemnification  hereunder may be advanced by the Company prior to the
          final  disposition  thereof  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on
          behalf  of the  Covered  Person  to repay  such  amount if it shall be
          determined  ultimately  that the Covered  Person is not entitled to be
          indemnified  hereunder.  The  right  of  any  Covered  Person  to  the
          indemnification  provided  herein  shall be  cumulative  with,  and in
          addition  to,  any and all  rights to which  such  Covered  Person may
          otherwise  be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and
          shall extend to such Covered  Person's  successors,  assigns and legal
          representatives.

     (d)  Notices of Claims,  etc. Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of
          notice of the  commencement  of any  Proceeding,  such Covered  Person
          shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made
          against  the  Company,  give  written  notice  to the  Company  of the
          commencement  of such  Proceeding,  provided  that the  failure of any
          Covered Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
          Company of its  obligations  under  this  Section  10.3  except to the
          extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to give
          notice.  In case any such  Proceeding  is  brought  against  a Covered
          Person  (other than a derivative  suit in right of the  Company),  the
          Company will be entitled to  participate  in and to assume the defense
          thereof  to the  extent  that the Board of  Managers  may  wish,  with
          counsel reasonably  satisfactory to such Covered Person.  After notice
          from the Board of Managers  to such  Covered  Person of the  Company's
          election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable
          for  expenses   subsequently   incurred  by  such  Covered  Person  in
          connection with the defense  thereof.  The Company will not consent to
          entry of any  judgment  or enter  into any  settlement  that  does not
          include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
          plaintiff  to such Covered  Person of a release from all  liability in
          respect to such Claim.

     (e)  No Waiver.  Nothing  contained in this Section 10.3 shall constitute a
          waiver by any Member of any right that it may have  against  any party
          under United States Federal or state securities laws.

     (f)  Authorization.  Any indemnification under Section 10.3, as well as the
          advance payment of expenses  permitted under Section  10.3(c),  unless
          ordered by a court, must be made by this Company only as authorized in
          the specific case upon a  determination  that  indemnification  of the
          Covered Person is proper under those circumstances.  The determination
          must be made:

          (1)  by the Board of Managers by a majority of a quorum  consisting of
               Managers who were not parties to the act or Proceeding;

          (2)  if a majority vote of a quorum  consisting of those  Managers who
               were  not  parties  to  the  act  or  Proceeding  so  orders,  by
               independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

          (3)  if a quorum  consisting  of Managers  who were not parties to the
               act or  Proceeding  cannot  be  obtained,  by  independent  legal
               counsel in a written opinion.

                        ARTICLE XI TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

     Section 11.1. Personal Property; Consent for Transfers.

     (a)  Restrictions on Transfer.  A Member shall not transfer,  sell, assign,
          convey,  exchange,  pledge,  encumber or otherwise dispose of (each, a
          "Transfer") any of its Interest unless:  (i) the other Member has been
          afforded a right of first offer in accordance  with the procedures set
          forth in paragraph  (b) of this Section  11.1;  (ii) the  contemplated
          Transfer  will not  adversely  affect  the  regulatory  status  of the
          Company  or the GM Lansing  Project;  (iii) all  requisite  Regulatory
          Approvals  have been duly  obtained  and are in full force and effect;
          and (iv) the  contemplated  Transfer  will not result in  adverse  tax
          treatment  for the  Company,  the GM Lansing  Project or either of the
          Members.

     (b)  Right of First Offer. In the event a Member desires to Transfer all or
          any part of its Interest,  such Members (the "Selling  Member")  shall
          first  deliver a written  notice (the  "Section  11.1  Notice") to the
          other Member (the  "Second  Member")  which  notice shall  specify the
          portion of the  Selling  Member's  Interest  to be sold (the  "Offered
          Interest").  Within  thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Section
          11.1  Notice,  the  Second  Member  shall  have the  right to offer to
          purchase  (the "First  Offer") all, but not less than all, the Offered
          Interest at a price payable only in case (the "First Offer Price") and
          on such other terms and  conditions as shall be set forth in the First
          Offer.  Within  thirty (30) days after its receipt of the First Offer,
          the Selling  Members shall either accept or reject the First Offer. If
          the Selling Member  accepts the First Offer,  the Selling Member shall
          sell, and the Second Member shall purchase,  the Offered Interest at a
          closing  to be held at a time not later  than sixty (60) days (or such
          longer period,  if any, pending any necessary  Regulatory  Approval or
          removal of Liens) after the Selling  Member's  acceptance of the First
          Offer and at such  location as may be mutually  agreed upon,  at which
          time the Offered  Interest  shall be delivered,  free and clear of all
          Liens which may have been imposed on the Offered  Interest and are not
          connected  with the  financing  or  operation  of the Company  itself,
          against  payment of the First  Offer  Price.  In order to comply  with
          applicable   regulatory   requirements,   the  purchasing  Member  may
          designate  (i) a third  party to  purchase  any portion of the Offered
          Interest  which  the  purchasing  Member  has  committed  to  purchase
          hereunder  if the  Offered  Interest  constitutes  all of the  Selling
          Member's  equity and debt  interest  in the  Company,  or (ii) a third
          party  reasonably  acceptable  to the Selling  Member to purchase  any
          portion  of the  Offered  Interest  which the  purchasing  Member  has
          committed to purchase  hereunder if the Offered  Interest  constitutes
          less than all of the Selling  Member's equity and debt interest in the
          Company.  If the Selling  Member rejects or does not timely accept the
          First Offer, then the Selling Member shall have one hundred and twenty
          (120) days (or such  longer  period,  if any,  required  to obtain any
          necessary  Regulatory  Approval or to remove any Liens) following such
          rejection  within which to consummate the sale of the Offered Interest
          at a price per share in cash greater than the First Offer Price and in
          all other  respects upon terms and  conditions no less  favorable than
          those specified in the First Offer. If no such sale occurs within such
          120-day  period (or longer  period as  described  above),  the Offered
          Interest shall again be subject to all of the  restrictions  set forth
          in this Section 11.1(b).

     (c)  Proportionate  Sales  Rights.  If the Second  Member does not elect to
          purchase the Offered  Interest  pursuant to Section 11.1(b) above, the
          Second Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to
          the  prospective  purchaser  identified  in the  First  Offer the same
          proportion of the Second  Member's  Interest as the  proportion of the
          Selling Member's Interest proposed to be sold by the Selling member at
          the same  price and  otherwise  on the same  terms and  conditions  on
          which,  and at the same time as, the Selling Member wishes to sell its
          Interest.  The  proportionate  sale right  specified  in this  Section
          11.1(c)  shall be  exercisable  by written  notice given by the Second
          Member to the Selling Member during the same thirty (30) day period in
          which the Second  Member may make the First Offer  contemplated  under
          Section 11.1(b). The Selling Member shall not sell any of its Interest
          to  the  prospective   purchaser  unless  such  purchaser  honors  its
          obligation to purchase a proportionate Interest from the Second member
          as provided  herein.  Any purported  Transfer  inconsistent  with this
          Section 11.1(c) shall be null and void and of no effect.

     Section 11.2. Issue and Replacement of Certificates.

     Upon the request of any Member, an Interest  certificate shall be delivered
to such Member for the Interest held by it. Every certificate shall be signed by
one  Cinergy  Manager  and one Trigen  Solutions  Manager.  In the case of loss,
mutilation,  or  destruction  of a share  certificate a new  certificate  may be
issued upon such terms as the Board of Managers may prescribe.

     Section 11.3. Interest Certificate Legend.

     All certificates representing Interests shall bear the following legend (in
addition to any other legend required by applicable law):

     "These interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  or any state securities laws and may not be sold, offered for sale,
pledged,  assigned,  hypothecated  or otherwise  transferred in violation of any
applicable  securities  law.  These  interests  are  subject  to the  terms  and
conditions,  including restrictions on transfers, pledges or other dispositions,
of a Limited Liability Company Agreement,  dated as of October 20, 1999, each as
amended from time to time, copies of which are on file with the Secretary of the
Company."

             ARTICLE XII DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

     Section 12.1. Dissolution.

     The Company shall dissolve upon and in accordance with the mutual agreement
of the Members.

     Section 12.2. Liquidation.

     Upon  dissolution  of the  Company,  the Person or Persons  approved by the
Board of  Managers  shall  carry  out the  winding  up of the  Company  (in such
capacity,  the  "Liquidating  Trustee")  and  shall  proceed,   subject  to  the
provisions  herein,  to  liquidate  the Company  and apply the  proceeds of such
liquidation,  or in its sole  discretion to distribute  Company  assets,  in the
following order of priority:

          First,  to creditors in  satisfaction  of debts and liabilities of the
     Company,  whether  by payment or the  making of  reasonable  provision  for
     payment (other than any loans or advances that may have been made by any of
     the Members to the Company),  and the expenses of  liquidation,  whether by
     payment or the  making of  reasonable  provisions  for  payments,  any such
     reasonable  reserves  (which  may be funded by a  liquidating  trust) to be
     established  by the  Liquidating  Trustee,  as the case may be, in  amounts
     deemed by it to be  reasonably  necessary  for the payment of the Company's
     expenses, liabilities and other obligations (whether faxed or contingent);

          Second,  to the Members in  satisfaction of any loans or advances that
     may have been made by any of the Members to the Company  whether by payment
     or the making of reasonable provision for payment; and

          Third,  to the  Members in  proportion  to, and to the extent of, each
     Member's  Capital  Account,  as such  Capital  Account  has  been  adjusted
     pursuant to Article VI.

     Section 12.3. Time for Liquidation, etc.

     (a)  A reasonable  time period shall be allowed for the orderly  winding up
          and  liquidation  of the assets of the  Company and the  discharge  of
          liabilities to creditors as to enable the Liquidating  Trustee to seek
          to minimize potential losses upon such liquidation.  The provisions of
          this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period
          of winding up and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation of
          the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

     (b)  Upon  completion  of the  foregoing,  the  Liquidating  Trustee  shall
          execute,   acknowledge   and  cause  to  be  filed  a  certificate  of

WHEREAS, the Members wish to amend and restate the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Fundamental Operating Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, the Members state, confirm and agree as follows:


ARTICLE I.

Purposes of the Company; Equitable Treatment

        The Company was formed for the principal purposes of providing utility facilities locating services (“Facilities Locating”) and to construct and install underground facilities (“Underground Construction”) for the Members’ utility Affiliates and other persons requiring such services. In addition, the Company may undertake any other lawful act or engage in any other business permitted under the Act as may from time to time be mutually agreed by the Members. (For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” of a specified Member shall mean any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such specified Member, and for this purpose “control” shall mean direct or indirect ownership of not less than 50% of total combined voting power or value.) In conducting its business, the Company shall treat each Member equitably.

ARTICLE II.

Action by the Company; Board of Representatives

Section 2.01. Action by the Company. The Company shall act only by or under the authority of the unanimous approval of all its Members. Despite having statutory authority to act on behalf of the Company, no Member shall undertake to bind the Company absent unanimous approval of all the Members. Action by the Members may be taken at a meeting of designated representatives of the Members (referred to as the “Board of Representatives” or the “Board”) or by unanimous consent or agreement by all the Members.

Section 2.02 Member Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted by statute, this Agreement, or the Articles of Organization, to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the Members, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent in lieu of a meeting, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all the Members entitled to vote thereon. Any such written consent may be executed in counterparts, with all counterparts together constituting the executed original written consent. Any such duly executed written consents shall be filed with the records of the Company, and shall be effective as of the effective date specified therein.

Section 2.03. Board of Representatives. Each Member shall designate representatives (“Representatives”) to serve on the Board of Representatives, which shall consist of six individuals, three of whom shall be designated by and serve at the pleasure of Vectren, and three of whom shall be designated by and serve at the pleasure of Cinergy.

        A Member may remove or redesignate one or more of its Representatives on the Board at any time by giving written notice to each other Member.

The Board shall be responsible for determining the ends which the Company will pursue. Further, the Board shall articulate the values, perspectives and rules by which the Company will guide its actions. The Board shall assure that the Company performs in an ethical and prudent manner.

Section 2.04. Chair of the Board. The Board shall have a Chair who shall preside at all meetings of the Board, and have such other powers and duties as the Board may prescribe. The Chair shall be a Representative on the Board and shall serve as Chair at the pleasure of the Member appointing the Representative. The initial Chair shall be an appointee of Cinergy. The initial Chair shall be succeeded by a Representative designated by Vectren and the successor Chair shall be succeeded by a Representative designated by Cinergy, and so on, alternating between the Members every two years; provided, however, any successor may decline to appoint the Chair and if the successor declines to appoint the Chair then the Member who appointed the immediately previous Chair shall appoint the new Chair and shall retain the right to appoint the Chair for the next term.

Section 2.05. Meetings: Action. The Board shall hold regular meetings at the specific times and places mutually agreeable to the Members no less often than once every quarter each year.

Notice may also be given by fax or e-mail at addresses provided in writing to the Company. Notice to a Representative may be waived before or after the meeting by the Representative and attendance at a meeting by the Representative shall constitute waiver of such notice. A quorum for any meeting of the Board shall exist if there is one or more Representatives of each Member present. No meetings of the Board (or any committee of the Board) may be held unless all the Members are present as provided in this Section 2.05. Despite consisting of six representatives, action by the Board shall be approved only upon the unanimous vote of the Members (each Member having one vote, despite any then-existing disparity in the respective capital accounts of the Members). Each Member shall announce its vote on any matter submitted at a meeting through its Voting Representative, who shall be one of such Member’s Representatives on the Board. A Member may change its designated Voting Representative by written notice to each other Member. If a Voting Representative is not in attendance at a meeting, another Representative representing that Member may be designated by the Voting Representative as such Member’s Voting Representative for that particular meeting. Any or all Representatives may participate in a meeting by conference telephone or similar communication equipment, and all Representatives so participating in the meeting shall be deemed present in person.

Section 2.06. Board Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted by statute, this Agreement, or the Articles of Organization, to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the Board, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent in lieu of a meeting, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Cinergy and Vectren Voting Representatives (as defined in Section 2.05), entitled to vote thereon. Any such written consent may be executed in counterparts, with all counterparts together constituting the executed original written consent. Any such duly executed written consents shall be filed with the records of the Company, and shall be effective as of the effective date specified therein.

        Section 2.07. Committees of the Board. The Board shall initially have two committees, "Audit" and "Compensation." Their respective duties and initial composition shall be as follows:

      (a)       Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall recommend for appointment by the Board the independent certified public accountants for the Company. The Audit Committee shall meet from time to time on a schedule it determines with the independent public accountants along with members of Company management to ensure that adequate accounting systems, procedures, and internal controls are in place to accurately reflect the financial status of the Company and the financial results of the Company’s operation.

    (b)        Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee shall determine the compensation of the Management of the Company (as defined in Section 3.01), including base pay and incentives, if any. Further, it shall provide oversight of the overall compensation plan for the Company.


    (c)        Each Committee shall have two Representatives, one designated by Vectren and one designated by Cinergy. The chairs of the Committees shall alternate among Representatives of the Members every two years, such that the Chair of the Committees shall be appointed by the Member who did not appoint the Chair of the Board. Composition of any other committees established by the Board shall reflect equal representation of the Members.


ARTICLE III.

Subject to the general control of the Board and Section 3.01, the President shall manage and supervise all the affairs and personnel of the Company and shall discharge all the usual functions incidental to the office of the president of a corporation, as if the Company were a corporation. The President shall exercise and perform such other powers and duties as the Board may prescribe. The President shall report directly to the Chair. The President shall have full authority to execute proxies, deeds, checks, contracts and other instruments on behalf of the Company, and to execute powers of attorney appointing other entities or individuals the agent of the Company, all subject to the provisions of the Act and this Agreement. The President shall keep or cause to be kept correct and complete records of account, showing accurately at all times the financial condition of the Company. The President shall be the legal custodian of all moneys, notes, securities, and other valuables which may from time to time come into the possession of the Company. The President shall open and maintain bank accounts in the name of the Company, and shall immediately deposit all funds of the Company coming into his or her hands in such bank accounts. The President shall furnish or cause to be furnished at meetings of the Board, or whenever requested by the Board or any Member, a statement of the financial condition of the Company. The President shall authenticate the records of the Company when necessary.

  (b) Secretary. The Secretary shall discharge all the usual functions incidental to the office of the secretary of a corporation, as if the Company were a corporation.

  (c) Delegation of Authority. In case of the absence of any member of Management of the Company, or for any other reason that the Board may deem sufficient, the Board may delegate the powers or duties of such person to any other member of Management or to any Representative, for the time being.

        Section 3.03. Indemnification of Representatives and Management. The Company shall indemnify every person who is or was a Representative or member of Management of the Company (each of whom, together with such person’s heirs, estate, executors, administrators and personal representatives, is hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnitee”) against liability to the fullest extent which would be permitted by Ind. Code § 23-1-37 if the Company were a corporation organized under the Indiana Business Corporation Law and the Indemnitee were a director or officer of such corporation. Such indemnification shall be provided, however, only if such person is determined in the manner specified by Ind. Code § 23-1-37 to have met the standard of conduct specified in Ind. Code § 23-1-37. The Company shall, to the fullest extent which would be permitted by Ind. Code § 23-1-37, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by every Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding, in the manner specified by Ind. Code § 23-1-37. The foregoing indemnification and advance of expenses for each Indemnitee shall apply to service in the Indemnitee’s official capacity with the Company, and to service at the Company’s request, while also acting in an official capacity with the Company, as a director, officer, partner, Member, manager, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not. This Section 3.03 shall be binding upon any successor to the Company so that each Indemnitee shall be in the same position with respect to any resulting, surviving, or succeeding entity as the Indemnitee would have been had the separate legal existence of the Company continued; provided, that unless expressly provided or agreed otherwise, this sentence shall be applicable only to an Indemnitee acting in an official capacity or in another capacity heretofore described prior to termination of the separate legal existence of the Company. The foregoing provisions shall be deemed to create a contract right for the benefit of every Indemnitee if (a) any act or omission complained of in a proceeding against the Indemnitee, (b) any portion of a proceeding or (c) any determination or assessment of liability occurs while this Section 3.03 is in effect. All references in this Section 3.03 to Ind. Code § 23-1-37 shall be deemed to include any amendment or successor thereto. When a word or phrase used in this paragraph is defined in Ind. Code § 23-1-37, such word or phrase shall have the same meaning in this Section 3.03 that it has in Ind. Code § 23-1-37. Nothing contained in this Section 3.03 shall limit or preclude the exercise of any right relating to indemnification or advance of expenses to any indemnitee or the ability of the Company to otherwise indemnify or advance expenses to any indemnitee. If any word, clause or sentence of the foregoing provisions regarding indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be held invalid as contrary to law or public policy, it shall be severable and the provisions remaining shall not be otherwise affected. If any court holds any word, clause or sentence of this paragraph invalid, the court is authorized and empowered to rewrite these provisions to achieve their purpose to the extent possible.

ARTICLE IV.

Capital Contributions and Valuation

        Section 4.01. Capital Account. An individual capital account shall be established and maintained by the Company for each Member, as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

        Section 4.02. Contributions to Capital. Cinergy and Vectren shall make initial capital contributions to the Company consistent with Schedule 2 of the Formation Agreement. In the event that any Member contributes what all the Members agree is significant additional value to the Company, or the value initially contributed is of significantly less value than anticipated, which causes the present allocation to be inequitable or inappropriate to a material extent, all the Members agree that the Board shall meet to negotiate in good faith a compensating capital contribution by the appropriate Members so as to cause such ownership percentages to remain as close as reasonably possible to being equal. At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Formation Agreement (the “Closing”), the initial capital contributions will be made.

        Section 4.03. Return of Contributions. No Member shall have any right to the return or withdrawal of such Member’s capital contribution until dissolution of the Company, unless the withdrawal is consented to by all the Members or is otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

ARTICLE V.

Allocation of Profits. Losses and Distributions

        Section 5.01. Allocation of Profits and Losses. The Net Profit or Net Loss of the company, including each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit shall be allocated each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) among the Members in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

        Section 5.02. Distributions of Cash or Other Assets. Distributions of cash or other assets shall be made to all the Members in accordance with their respective ownership percentages, only as authorized by the Board, and subject to this Agreement.

        Section 5.03. Special Allocation Provisions. If and at such time as there is a Special Allocation Event (defined in the following sentence), the provisions of Schedule B (Schedule of Special Allocations) shall become effective as of the first day of the Company’s taxable year in which such Special Allocation Event occurred. For purposes of this Agreement, a Special Allocation Event means, and shall be the first to occur of:

    (a)        the making of a capital contribution of cash or tangible property by, or a distribution of cash or tangible property to, any Member, except equally among all the Members;


    (b)        the making of a capital contribution of tangible property by, or a distribution of tangible property to, any Member where there is a variation between the basis of the tangible property and its fair market value at the time thereof, other than in accordance with the Members’ ownership percentages;


    (c)        the incurrence of any indebtedness of the Company from, or guaranteed by, any Member or an Affiliate thereof, except equally among all the Members or their respective Affiliates (taking into account reasonable economic equivalents); or


    (d)        the occurrence of any other event which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or any Member, could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the equal allocation (before taxes) of the Company’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits among the Members under Section(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or any successor provision), but for the effectiveness and application of the provisions of Schedule B (Schedule of Special Allocations).


        Section 5.04. Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall ever be required to make up a negative balance in its Capital Account.

ARTICLE VI.

Dissolution (Not Withdrawal or Departure of a Member)

        Section 6.01. Events Causing Dissolution. The occurrence of the first of any of the following events shall cause the dissolution of the Company:

    (a)        the mutual consent in writing executed by each Member; or


    (b)        at the option of either Member, a materially adverse legal or regulatory decision regarding the formation of the Company, the purchase of the assets of an existing Facilities Locating and Underground Construction company, or the Company’s service agreements with utility Affiliates of either of the Members. Absent the occurrence of any of the foregoing specified events, a Member may only withdraw from the Company in the manner set forth in Article VII.


        Section 6.02. Priority of Dissolution. Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 6.01, the Company shall be dissolved, the affairs of the Company wound up and the property of the Company, subject to Section 6.05, distributed and applied in the following order of priority:

    (a)        first, to the payment of any debts and liabilities of the Company owing to persons other than any Member;


    (b)        second, to the payment of any debts and liabilities of the Company owing to any Member, but in the event the amount available for such payment is insufficient to satisfy all such debts and liabilities, then to such Members in the proportion which their respective claims bear to the claims of all such Members; and


    (c)        last, to the Members in the proportion which the positive balance in each Member’s positive capital account bears to the aggregate capital account balance of all the Members at that time. No Member shall have a priority over any other Member with respect to the distribution under Section 6.02(c). Distributions made in accordance with this Section 6.02 shall be in full satisfaction of the Member’s claim against the Company for distribution and liquidation. In making distributions to the Members, the positive capital account balances of the Members shall be determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments required by Treas. Reg. § l.704-l(b)(2).


        Section 6.03. Time to Dissolve. Following the event of dissolution, except as may be agreed in writing by the parties, a reasonable time after the date of the event of dissolution shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to minimize the normal losses attendant upon such liquidation and to effectuate the process set forth in Section 6.05. Each of the Members during the course of winding up the Company affairs and dissolution shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the Management which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of the event of dissolution.

        Section 6.04. Date of Termination. The Company shall be terminated when all its assets have been applied and distributed in accordance with Sections 6.02 and 6.03. The establishment of any reserves for the payment of any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company shall not have the effect of extending the term of the Company, and such reserve shall be applied and distributed in the manner provided in Section 6.02 upon the expiration of the period of such reserve.

        Section 6.05. Wind-Up.

    (a)        Contract Turnover. (1) After an event of dissolution and during the period specified in Section 6.03, the Company’s contracts with its customers (other than the Utility Affiliates) shall be disposed of as follows: the Members shall in good faith value the Company and its assets, including customer contracts, and negotiate a transfer and assumption of each such contract. Each Member shall have an equal opportunity to bid on each such contract; however, the bidding process shall not be limited to the Members and their Affiliates. The proposal most favorable to the Company shall be chosen by the Board. If the Members cannot agree on a bidding process and the time therefor, or how the most favorable proposal will be determined and chosen, such matters shall be submitted to binding arbitration and implemented by the Members’ management.


    (2)        All the Members agree that they will undertake all reasonable good faith efforts to preserve customer relationships and obtain any necessary consents to assignments of customer contracts so as to give effect to this Section 6.05.


    (b)        Board Action. Throughout the period specified in Section 6.03, the Board shall continue to act on behalf of the Company and shall take all reasonable actions necessary to effectuate the wind-up as contemplated by this Agreement, particularly this Article VI, and to ensure the continued provision of reliable and adequate Facilities Locating and Underground Construction to the Company’s customers, including the Utility Affiliates. Unless provided in the contracts or applicable law, an event of dissolution shall neither cancel nor terminate any customer contracts nor excuse the performance thereof. However, the service agreements with the Utility Affiliates shall, regardless of their remaining terms, remain in effect for a period of one (1) year from the event of dissolution. (c) ....Employment Agreements.


    (1)        Following an event of dissolution, the Members jointly and severally agree to honor (or cause an Affiliate to honor), on an equal and equitable basis among all the Members and subject to any applicable statutory limitations, any employment agreements between the Company and its employees; provided, however, that the Members or their Affiliates in honoring any such agreements shall inherit the Company’ s rights thereunder, including, without limitation, any restrictive covenants, non-compete provisions and termination rights.


    (2)        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all the Members agree that such employment agreements are important assets of the Company and, as such, after an event of dissolution and during the period specified in Section 6.03, such employment agreements shall be disposed of as follows: the Members shall in good faith value such employment agreements, and negotiate a transfer and assumption of each such agreement. Each Member shall have an equal opportunity to bid on such employment agreements. The proposal most favorable to the Company shall be chosen by the Board. If the Members cannot agree on a bidding process or how the most favorable proposal will be determined and chosen, such matters shall be submitted to binding arbitration and implemented by Management. If either Member successfully bids on any or all of the Employment Agreements, the other Member shall be relieved of its obligations under Section 6.05(c)(l) as to those agreements.


    (d)        Guiding Principle. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in effectuating this Section 6.05, the Members understand and agree that the guiding principle in winding up the business of the Company is that the Members be treated in an equitable fashion taking into account the facts and circumstances giving rise to the dissolution of the Company.


        Section 6.06. Bankruptcy of a Member. Upon the adjudication of bankruptcy of a Member, then the trustee of such bankrupt Member shall be considered an assignee of such Member’s interest in the Company and, unless admitted to the Company as a new or substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.04, such trustee shall be entitled only to the rights and benefits not inconsistent with this Agreement as are currently provided by the Act for a creditor of a person having an interest.

ARTICLE VII.

DEADLOCK/DISPUTE RESOLUTION; DEPARTURE OF A MEMBER

        Section 7.01. Deadlocks. A “Deadlock” shall be deemed to exist if:

    (i)        An action of the Company requiring the unanimous consent of the Board is submitted for consideration at a meeting of the Board, which proposed action is substantially identical to a proposal advanced at the meeting immediately preceding such meeting, provided that both such meetings were or are held (or scheduled to be held) at least thirty days apart;


    (ii)        Prior to the meeting at which the action is submitted for consideration for the second time, a Member notifies the other Member that it considers the specified action to be essential to the continuance of such Member’s investment in the Company, specifying the reasons therefor;


    (iii)        The action specified by such Member is not taken at that meeting (as a result of either a rejection thereof or a failure to consider it) or the meeting is canceled by reason of the failure to attend by the other Member; and


    (iv)        Any Member notifies the other Member of its demand that the Deadlock be preferred for resolution to the Executive Officers as defined in and pursuant to Section 7.02.


        Section 7.02. Deadlock Resolution.

    (a)        Referral to Executive Officers. Upon receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 7.01(iv), the Chair shall forthwith forward a copy of such notice (the “Deadlock Submission Notice”) to Niel C. Ellerbrook, Chief Executive Officer of Indiana Energy, Inc. and Donald B. Ingle, President of Power Technology and Infrastructure Services at Cinergy Corp. or their successors as designated by the Members (collectively, the “Executive Officers”), who shall attempt to resolve such matter by unanimous agreement. If the Executive Officers do not resolve the Deadlock within thirty (30) days after the date of the Deadlock Submission Notice or such other period of time as the Executive Officers may unanimously agree (the “Resolution Period”), any Member shall have the right by written notice to the other Member, to invoke the provisions of Section 7.02(b) below; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.02(b) shall not apply to a Deadlock arising prior to the first anniversary of the formation of the Company, unless a failure to act by the Company with respect to the subject matter of such Deadlock would result in a breach by the Company of any material agreement to which it is a party or would violate any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and provided, further, that any matter with respect to which a Deadlock arises prior to the first anniversary of the Company’s formation may become the subject of a Deadlock after such first anniversary, in which event the provisions of Section 7.02(b) shall apply to such Deadlock.


    (b)        Buy-Sell. (i) Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, as to Deadlocked matters, any Member (the “Initiating Member”) may give a written notice (a “Buy-Sell Notice”) to the other Member (the “Non-Initiating Member”) of the value established by the Initiating Member for all of the interests in the Company, determined in the sole discretion of the Initiating Member (the “Company Value”), which shall constitute both an irrevocable and non-assignable offer to purchase (“Purchase Offer”) all (but not less than all) of the ownership interest owned by the Non-Initiating Member for an amount equal to the product of the Company Value multiplied by the Non-Initiating Member’s ownership percentage, and an irrevocable and non-assignable offer to sell (“Sell Offer”) all of the ownership interest of the Initiating Member to the Non-Initiating Member for an amount equal to the product of the Company Value multiplied by the Initiating Member’s ownership percentage. The Non-Initiating Member shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a Buy-Sell Notice to elect, by written notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) to the Initiating Member, to accept either the Purchase Offer or the Sell Offer, and in the event the Non- Initiating Member fails to issue an Acceptance Notice, the Non-Initiating Member shall be deemed to have accepted the Purchase Offer.


    (ii)        The terms of any purchase and sale of Member ownership interest(s) pursuant to this Section 7.02(b) shall be cash payable at closing, with closing to occur on a date mutually agreed upon by the Initiating Member and the Non-Initiating Member, which shall in no event be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than sixty (60) days after the due date for issuance of the Acceptance Notice by the Non-Initiating Member (the “Required Closing Date”), and failing any such agreement the closing shall occur on the Required Closing Date, or if the Required Closing Date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day after the Required Closing Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Required Closing Date for any such transaction may be delayed by notice from either the Initiating Member or a Non-Initiating Member for such period of time as is required to accommodate any necessary approval or non-objection by any governmental agency having jurisdiction including, without limitation, under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, which approval or non-objection shall be applied for promptly and prosecuted diligently. Upon the consummation of any closing pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02(b), any Member, all of whose ownership interest has been sold shall automatically be deemed a departing member (a “Departing Member”).


    (iii)        Any indebtedness of the Company to any Departing Member which sells its ownership interest under this Section 7.02, and any indebtedness to the Company of any Departing Member which sells its interest under this Section 7.02 shall be paid in cash at the closing.


        Section 7.03. Departing Member Covenants. In order to preserve the value of the Company after completion of the Buy-Sell provisions, the Departing Member agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall perform any Facilities Locating and Underground Construction activities or own an interest in any entity which performs facilities locating within the states in which the Company is doing business at the time of the Buy-Sell, for a period of two (2) years after the Buy-Sell Closing Date. These restrictions do not limit the ability of the Affiliates to meet their own Facilities Locating and Underground Construction requirements through the use of internal or external resources.


ARTICLE VIII

Default and Remedies

        Section 8.01. Events of Default. A Member shall be in default upon the occurrence with respect to such Member, of any of the following events (each a "Default"):

    (i)        A Member shall fail to make any Capital Contribution when due or to timely perform any material obligation to be performed by it under the provisions of this Agreement, and such failure shall not be cured within thirty (30) days after notice of such Default issued by the Company or any Member.


    (ii)        Any representation or warranty made by a Member shall prove to be false or misleading in any material respect when made, or with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant of a continuing nature to have become false or misleading, and such Member shall not have cured such matter within thirty (30) days after written notice to do so issued by the Company or any Member.


    (iii)        Any Member shall (a) be dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation or merger), (b) become insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they become due or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, (c) make a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors, (d) institute or have instituted against it a proceeding seeking judgment of insolvency, bankruptcy or any other relief under bankruptcy or insolvency laws or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, provided that in the event of a petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (1) shall result in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for its winding up or liquidation or (2) shall not be dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within ninety (90) days of the institution or presentation thereof, (e) have a resolution passed for its winding up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a merger or consolidation), (f) seek to become subject to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all of its assets or have a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all of its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within thirty (30) days thereafter, (g) cause or be subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified above or (h) take any action in furtherance or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts.


        Section 8.02. Remedies for Default. The Members acknowledge and agree that a Default by any Member will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an entirely adequate remedy to the Company. Therefore, upon a Default, the defaulting Member automatically shall be deemed to have resigned from membership in the Company and to have surrendered its entire Capital Account (which shall be distributed pro rata among the remaining Members), shall have no further rights as a Member, shall have no further representation on the Board of Representatives, and shall be entitled to no further allocations of profits, losses or distribution from the Company.

        Section 9.02. Transfer to Wholly-Owned Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all (but not less than all) of the interest of any Member may be transferred to an Affiliate wholly-owned by Indiana Energy, Inc. or Cinergy Corp., whether by sale, dividend, capital contribution, merger, operation of law or otherwise, provided the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement. Any such transferee shall, without the consent of the Members, be substituted or added as a Member and shall be treated as though such transferee were an initial party to this Agreement in the place and stead of the transferor.

        Section 9.03. Continuing Responsibility. Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer of its interest in the Company or the substitution of the assignee or transferee as a Member, a Member shall not be relieved of any of such Member’s responsibilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Members.

        Section 9.04. New Members. With the consent of all the Members, new Members may be admitted to the Company upon such terms and conditions, in exchange for ownership percentages, and with such representation on the Board as all the existing Members and each such new Member find mutually acceptable.

SCHEDULE B

(SCHEDULE OF SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS)

        Section 1. Net Income and Net Loss. The terms “Net Income” or “Net Loss,” as the case may be, of the Company shall mean the Company’s taxable income or taxable loss for Federal income taxation purposes as determined by the accountants then employed by the Company in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with the items required to be separately stated by Section 703(a)(l) of the Code combined into a single net amount; provided, however, that in the event the taxable income or taxable loss of the Company for such fiscal year is later adjusted in any manner, as a result of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) or otherwise, then the taxable income or taxable loss of the company shall be adjusted to the same extent. “Net Income” and “Net Loss” shall be further adjusted as follows:

    (a)        “Net Income” and “Net Loss,” as the case may be, shall be adjusted to treat items of tax-exempt income described in Section 705(a)(l)(B) of the Code as items of gross income, and to treat as deductible items all non-deductible, non-capital expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, including any items treated under Treas Reg. § 1 .704-l(b)(2)(iv) as items described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code.


    (b)        In lieu of depreciation, depletion, cost recovery and amortization deductions allowable for Federal income taxation purposes to the Company with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member, there shall be taken into account an amount equal to the product derived by multiplying the Book Value of such property at the beginning of such fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of depreciation, depletion, cost recovery or amortization deductions allowable with respect to such property for Federal income taxation purposes and the denominator of which is the adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes of such property at the beginning of such fiscal year.


    (c)        In lieu of actual gain or loss recognized by the Company for Federal income taxation purposes as a result of the sale or other disposition of property of the Company, there shall be taken into account the gain or loss that would have been recognized by the Company for Federal income taxation purposes if the Book Value of such property as of the date sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company were its adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes.


        Section 2. Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. After giving effect to the special locations set forth in Sections 3. 4 and 6:

    (a)        Net Income. Net Income for the fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.


    (b)        Net Loss. Net Loss for the fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.


        Section 3. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

    (a)        Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule B, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company fiscal year, each Member and assignee or transferee of an interest of a Member (“Interest”) shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s or assignee’s or transferee’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(g)(l) that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to nonrecourse liabilities (as defined in Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(b)(3)), determined in accordance with Treas.-Reg. § 1.704-2(d). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas.-Reg. § 1.704-2(f)(6) and l.704-2(j)(2). This Section 3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


    (b)        Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule B except Section 3(a), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company fiscal year, each Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas.-Reg. § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s or assignee’s or transferee’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(i)(5), that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §§ l.704-2(i)(4) and l.704-2(j)(2). This Section 3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


    (c)        Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treas. Reg. § l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treas. Reg. § 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Schedule B have been tentatively made as if this Section 3(c) were not in the Agreement.


    (d)        Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest has a deficit capital account at the end of any Company fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of the amount such Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest is obligated to restore or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treas. Regs. §§ 1 .704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest would have a deficit capital account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Schedule B have been tentatively made as if Section 3(c) and this Section 3(d) were not in the Agreement.


    (e)        Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated as provided in Section 2(b).


    (f)        Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions: Any Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member or assignee or transferee of an Interest who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treas. Reg § 1.704-2(i).


    (g)        Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent Treas. Reg. § 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m) requires an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) to be taken into account in determining capital accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the capital accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members and assignees or transferees of an Interest in a manner consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.


        Section 4. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 3 (the”Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule B (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Members shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s capital account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the capital account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 2.

        Section 5. Effects of Varying Company Interests During a Company Year. In the event a Member’s interest as a Member varies during any fiscal year of the Company (whether by reason of withdrawal, additional capital contributions or otherwise), Net Income and Net Loss shall be computed and allocated in accordance with this Schedule B as if periods between such variations were each a separate fiscal year of the Company.

        Section 6. Allocation of Income. Gain. Loss and Deduction: Section 704(c). Upon the sale of any property contributed by any Member, the gain or loss represented by the difference between the adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes and Book Value of the property to the Company shall be allocated to the Member who contributed such property, and the gain or loss in excess of that so allocated shall be allocated among the Members as provided in Sections 1. 2. 3 and 4 hereof. In addition, any other item of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and Treas. Reg. § l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(g), as amended from time to time.

        Section 7. Allocation of Tax Items. All items of depreciation, gain, loss, deduction or credit that are taken into account in determining Net Income or Net Loss, shall be allocated among the Members in the same proportion as is provided in this Schedule B.

        Section 8. Definitions. Capitalized words and phrases used in this Schedule B have the following meanings:

    (a)        Adjusted Capital Account Deficit means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s capital account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:


    (1)        Credit to such capital account any amounts which such Member is obligated to restore or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(g)(l) or would be deemed obligated to restore if Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions were treated as Nonrecourse Deductions; and


    (2)        Debit to such capital account the items described in Treas. Regs. §§ 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), and I .704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6).


  The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Treas. Reg. § l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

    (b)        Book Value of any item of Company property as of any particular date shall be determined as follows: (a) the Book Value of any item of property contributed by a Member to the capital of the Company shall be the agreed-upon gross fair market value of such item of property as of the date such property was contributed to the Company, as adjusted for depreciation, depletion, cost recovery and amortization deductions with respect to such property computed in the manner provided in Section 1(b); and (b) the Book Value of any other item of Company property shall be its adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes.


    (c)        Company Minimum Gain has the meaning set forth in Tress. Reg. §§ 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d).


    (d)        Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(i)(2). The amount of Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt for a Company fiscal year equals the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt during that fiscal year over the aggregate amount of any distributions during that fiscal year to the Members or assignees or transferees of an Interest that bear the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt to the extent such distributions are from the proceeds of such Member Nonrecourse Debt and are allocable to an increase in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(i)(2).


    (e)        Member Minimum Gain means an amount, with respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Company Minimum Gain that would result if such Company Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a nonrecourse liability (as defined in Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(b)(3)), determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(i).


    (f)        Member Nonrecourse Debt has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(b)(4).


    (g)        Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. § l.704-2(b)(l). The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Company fiscal year equals the net increase, if any, in the amount of Company Minimum Gain during that fiscal year, determined according to Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-2(c) and 1.704-2(d).


    (h)        Regulations means the regulations promulgated under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations).

taken,  shall be signed by all the  stockholders  entitled to vote thereon.  Any
such  written  consent  may be  given  by one or  any  number  of  substantially
concurrent  written  instruments of  substantially  similar tenor signed by such
stockholders,  in person or by attorney or proxy duly appointed in writing,  and
filed with the records of the  Corporation.  Any such written  consent  shall be

By-Laws, directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

     Section 3.2. Number and Election of Directors. The Board of Directors shall
consist of not less than three nor more than fifteen  members,  the exact number
of which shall be fixed by the Board of  Directors.  Directors  shall be elected

statute and as provided in Article II,  Section 2.8 of these  By-Laws,  and each
director so elected  shall hold office until  his/her  successor is duly elected
and qualifies, or until his/her earlier resignation or removal. Any director may

majority vote of the stockholders, unless otherwise provided by statute.

     Section  3.3.  Vacancies.   Vacancies  and  newly  created   directorships,
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled

annual meeting of stockholders,  and until their successors are duly elected and
qualify, or until their earlier resignation or removal.

     Section 3.4.  Meetings.  Regular  meetings of the Board of Directors may be

or by members of the board (the  express  percentage  of the latter as minimally
provided for by statute). Notice thereof stating the place, date and hour of the
meeting  shall  be  given  to each  director  either  by  mail  (not  less  than
forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the meeting), by telephone or telegram

persons   calling  such  meeting  may  deem  necessary  or  appropriate  in  the
circumstances.

     Section 3.5. Quorum.  Except as may be otherwise  specifically provided for
by statute,  the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws,  at all meetings
of the Board of  Directors,  a majority of the entire Board of  Directors  shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of
the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act
of the Board of  Directors.  If a quorum  shall not be present at any meeting of
the Board of Directors,  the directors  present  thereat may adjourn the meeting
from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting,  until
a quorum shall be present.

     Section 3.6. Actions of Board. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate
of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation or these By-Laws,  any action required or
permitted  to be taken at any  meeting  of the  Board  of  Directors,  or of any
committee(s)  thereof, may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the
Board of Directors, or of such committee(s), as the case may be, consent thereto
in writing,  and the  writing(s) is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the
Board  of  Directors,  or of such  committee(s),  of the  Corporation.  Any such
written  consent to action of the Board of Directors,  or of such  committee(s),
shall be effectuated by the signature of the member lastly consenting thereto in
writing,  unless the consent otherwise specified a prior or subsequent effective
date.

     Section 3.7.  Meetings by Means of Conference  Telephone.  Unless otherwise
provided  by the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation  or  these
By-Laws,  members of the Board of Directors,  or any committee(s)  thereof,  may
participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or of such committee(s),  as
the case may be, by means of a conference  telephone  or similar  communications
equipment  by means of which all persons  participating  in the meeting can hear
each other,  and  participation  in a meeting pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.

     Section 3.8.  Committees.  The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed
by a majority of the entire Board of Directors,  designate, from time to time as
they may see fit,  one or more  committees,  each such  committee  to consist of
three or more of the  directors of the  Corporation.  The Board of Directors may
designate one or more  directors as alternate  members of any such committee who
may  replace  any  absent  or  disqualified  member at any  meeting  of any such
committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, and in
the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate member to
replace the absent or disqualified member, the member or members thereof present
at any meeting and not disqualified  from voting,  whether or not he/she or they
constitute a quorum,  may  unanimously  appoint  another  member of the Board of
Directors  to act at the  meeting  in the place of any  absent  or  disqualified
member.  Any  committee,  to the extent  allowed by statute and  provided in the
resolution  establishing  such  committee,  shall have and may  exercise all the

and affairs of the  Corporation.  Each committee  shall keep regular minutes and
report to the Board of Directors when required.

compensation  may also be paid to any person  other  than a director  officially
called to attend any such meeting.

     Section 3.10. Contracts and Transactions  Involving Directors.  No contract
or  transaction  between the  Corporation  and one or more of its  directors  or
officers,  or between the  Corporation and any other  corporation,  partnership,
association,  or other  organization  in which one or more of its  directors  or
officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest,  shall be void
or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is
present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee
thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction,  or solely because his/her
or their  votes are counted for such  purpose if: (i) the  material  facts as to
his/her or their  relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction
are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the  committee,  and the
Board of  Directors  or  committee  in good faith  authorizes  the  contract  or
transaction  by  the  affirmative  votes  of a  majority  of  the  disinterested
directors,  even though the  disinterested  directors be less than a quorum;  or
(ii) the material facts as to his/her or their  relationship  or interest and as
to the contract or  transaction  are disclosed or are known to the  stockholders
entitled to vote  thereon,  and the  contract  or  transaction  is  specifically
approved  in good faith by vote of the  stockholders;  or (iii) the  contract or
transaction  is  fair as to the  Corporation  as of the  time it is  authorized,
approved or  ratified,  by the Board of  Directors,  a committee  thereof or the
stockholders.  Common or interested  directors may be counted in determining the
presence  of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of  Directors  or of a committee
which authorizes the contract or transaction.

as if he/she  were such  officer,  transfer  agent or  registrar  at the date of

been lost, stolen or destroyed.

adjourned meeting.

liable for calls and  assessments a person  registered on its books as the owner
of shares,  and shall not be bound to recognize  any equitable or other claim to
or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person,  whether or
not it shall have express or other notice thereof,  except as otherwise provided
by statute.

                                   ARTICLE VI

Certificate  of  Incorporation,  or these  By-Laws to be given to any  director,
member  of a  committee,  or  stockholder,  such  notice  may be  given by mail,
addressed to each such person,  at his/her  address as it appears on the records
of the  Corporation,  with  postage  thereon  prepaid,  and such notice shall be
deemed to be given at the time when the same  shall be  deposited  in the United
States mail,  or as otherwise  provided by statute.  Written  notice may also be
given personally or by telegram, telex or cable.

     Section 6.2. Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required by statute,
the Certificate of Incorporation,  or these By-Laws to be given to any director,

Corporation,   subject  to  any  provision   imposed  by  the   Certificate   of
Incorporation,  may be  declared  by the Board of  Directors  at any  regular or
special  meeting,  or by written consent to the action of the board without such
meeting(s),  and may be paid in cash,  in property,  or in shares of the capital
stock.  Before payment of any dividend,  there may be set aside out of any funds
of the  Corporation  available  for  dividends  such sum or sums as the Board of
Directors  from time to time,  in its  absolute  discretion,  deems  proper as a
reserve or reserves to meet contingencies,  or for equalizing dividends,  or for
repairing  or  maintaining  any property of the  Corporation,  or for any proper
purpose, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.

     Section  7.2.  Disbursements.  All checks or demands for money and notes of
the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person
or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

     Section  7.3.  Voting  Securities  Owned  by  the  Corporation.  Powers  of
attorney,  proxies, waivers of notice of meeting, consents and other instruments
relating to securities  owned by the  Corporation may be executed in the name of

any Vice  President,  the Secretary,  or any Assistant  Secretary,  and any such
officer  may,  in the name of and on  behalf of the  Corporation,  take all such
action as any such  officer may deem  advisable to vote in person or by proxy at
any meeting of security  holders of any corporation in which the Corporation may
own  securities  and at any such meeting  shall possess and may exercise any and
all rights and power incident to the ownership of such  securities and which, as
the owner  thereof,  the  Corporation  might have  exercised  and  possessed  if
present.  The Board of Directors  may, by  resolution,  from time to time confer
like powers upon any other person or persons.

emblem or device as approved by the Board of Directors.  The seal may be used by
causing it or a  facsimile  thereof to be  impressed  or affixed or in any other
manner reproduced.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 Indemnification

     Section 8.1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other than
Those By or in the Right of the  Corporation.  Subject  to  Section  8.3 of this
Article VIII, the  Corporation  shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
to or is threatened to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or completed
action,  suit  or  proceeding,   whether  civil,  criminal,   administrative  or
investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the  Corporation)  by
reason  of  the  fact  that  he/she  is or  was a  director  or  officer  of the
Corporation,  or is or was a director or officer of the  Corporation  serving at
the request of the  Corporation  as a director or officer,  employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement  actually and  reasonably  incurred by him/her in
connection with such action,  suit or proceeding,  if he/she acted in good faith
and in a manner he/she  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 no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action,  suit or proceeding by judgment,  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  he/she  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 his/her conduct was unlawful.

     Section 8.2.  Power to Indemnify in Actions,  Suits or Proceedings By or in
the Right of the  Corporation.  Subject to Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, 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 or suit by or in
the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that  he/she is or was a director or officer of the  Corporation,  or is or
was a  director  or  officer of the  Corporation  serving at the  request of the
Corporation as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of another  corporation,
partnership,  joint venture,  trust,  employee  benefit plan or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him/her in  connection  with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she  reasonably  believed to be in
or not  opposed  to the  best  interests  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 his/her duty to the  Corporation,  unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon  application  that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the  circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

     Section 8.3.  Authorization of Indemnification.  Any indemnification  under
this Article VIII (unless  ordered by a court) shall be made by the  Corporation
only  as   authorized   in  the  specific   case  upon  a   determination   that
indemnification  of the  director  or  officer  is proper  in the  circumstances
because he/she has met the  applicable  standard of conduct set forth in Section
8.1 or Section 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such  determination
shall  be made (i) by the  Board of  Directors  by a  majority  vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding,
or (ii) if such a quorum is not  obtainable,  or, even if obtainable a quorum of
disinterested  directors so directs,  by independent  legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.  To the extent,  however, that a director
or officer of the  Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding  described above, or in defense of any
claim,  issue or matter therein,  he/she shall be indemnified  against  expenses
(including  attorneys'  fees)  actually  and  reasonably  incurred by him/her in
connection  therewith,  without the necessity of  authorization  in the specific
case.

          Any  determination   made  by  the   disinterested   directors  or  by
     independent legal counsel under this section shall be promptly communicated
     to the person  who  threatened  or brought  the action or suit by or in the
     right of the  Corporation  under  Section 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII,
     and, within ten days after receipt of such notification, such persons shall
     have the right to petition the court (at courts'  discretion) in which such
     action  or  suit  was  brought  to  review  the   reasonableness   of  such
     determination.

     Section 8.4. Good Faith Defined.  For purposes of any  determination  under
Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good
faith and in a manner he/she reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the  Corporation,  or, with respect to any criminal  action or
proceeding,  to have had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his/her  conduct  was
unlawful,  if his/her  action is based on the records or books of account of the
Corporation or another enterprise,  or on information supplied to him/her by the
officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties,
or on the advice of legal counsel for the  Corporation or another  enterprise or
on  information  or records given or reports made to the  Corporation or another
enterprise by an independent certified public accountant,  or by an appraiser or
other  expert  selected  with  reasonable  care by the  Corporation  or  another
enterprise. The term "another enterprise" as used in this Section 8.4 shall mean
any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other  enterprise  of which such person is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director,  officer, employee or agent. The provisions of
this  Section 8.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the
circumstances  in  which a  person  may be  deemed  to have  met the  applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Sections  8.1 or 8.2 of this Article  VIII,  as
the case may be.

     Section  8.5.  Indemnification  by a Court.  Notwithstanding  any  contrary
determination  in the specific case under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII,  and
notwithstanding  the absence of any  determination  thereunder,  any director or
officer  may  apply  to any  court of  competent  jurisdiction  in the  State of
Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise  permissible under Sections
8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such  indemnification  by a court
shall be a determination by such court that  indemnification  of the director or
officer is proper in the  circumstances  because  he/she has met the  applicable
standards of conduct set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article  VIII,  as
the case may be.  Neither a contrary  determination  in the specific  case under
Section 8.3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder
shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director
or  officer  seeking  indemnification  has not met any  applicable  standard  of
conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification  pursuant to this Section
8.5  shall  be  given  to the  Corporation  promptly  upon  the  filing  of such
application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking
indemnification  shall also be entitled  to be paid the  expense of  prosecuting
such application.

     Section 8.6.  Expenses Payable in Advance.  Expenses incurred by a director
or officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or
proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final  disposition
of such  action,  suit or  proceeding  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on
behalf of such  director or officer to repay such amount if it shall  ultimately
be determined  that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by the  Corporation
as authorized in this Article VIII.

     Section 8.7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
The  indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant
to this Article VIII shall not be deemed  exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking  indemnification  or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any other provision of these By-Laws, or similarly entitled under any agreement,
contract,  vote of stockholders or disinterested  directors,  or pursuant to the
direction  (howsoever  embodied)  of any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  or
otherwise,  both as to action in his/her  official  capacity and as to action in
another  capacity  while  holding  such  office,  it  being  the  policy  of the
Corporation that  indemnification  of the persons  specified in Sections 8.1 and
8.2 of this  Article  VIII  shall be made to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by
statute. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the
indemnification  of any person who is not  specified  in Sections  8.1 or 8.2 of
this Article  VIII,  but whom the  Corporation  has the power or  obligation  to
indemnify  under  the  provisions  of  statute  of the  State  of  Delaware,  or
otherwise.

     Section 8.8. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the  Corporation,
or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation  serving at the request of
the  Corporation  as  a  director,   officer,   employee  or  agent  of  another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise  against any  liability  asserted  against  him/her  and  incurred by
him/her in any such capacity,  or arising out of his/her status as such, whether
or not the  Corporation  would  have the power or the  obligation  to  indemnify
him/her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

     Section  8.9.  Certain  Definitions.  For  purposes of this  Article  VIII,
references  to "the  Corporation"  shall  include,  in addition to the resulting
corporation,  any  constituent  corporation  (including  any  constituent  of  a
constituent)  absorbed  in a  consolidation  or merger  which,  if its  separate
existence  had  continued,  would have had power and  authority to indemnify its
directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of
such  constituent  corporation,  or is or was a  director  or  officer  of  such
constituent  corporation serving at the request of such constituent  corporation
as a director,  officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,  shall stand in
the same position  under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the
resulting  or  surviving  corporation  as he/she would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of
this Article VIII, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed
on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving
at the  request of the  Corporation"  shall  include  any service as a director,
officer,  employee  or agent of the  Corporation  which  imposes  duties  on, or
involves  services  by,  such  director or officer  with  respect to an employee
benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries;  and a person who acted in good
faith and in a manner he/she reasonably  believed to be in the best interests of
the participants  and  beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed
to  have  acted  in  a  manner  "not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of  the
Corporation", as referred to in this Article VIII.

     Section 8.10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.  The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Article VIII shall,  unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue  as to a person who has ceased to be a  director  or officer  and shall
inure to the  benefit  of the  heirs,  executors  and  administrators  of such a
person.

     Section  8.11.  Limitation  on  Indemnification.  Notwithstanding  anything
contained  in this  Article  VIII to the  contrary,  except for  proceedings  to
enforce  rights to  indemnification  (which  shall be  governed  by Section  8.5
hereof),  the  Corporation  shall not be obligated to indemnify  any director or
officer in  connection  with a proceeding  (or part  thereof)  initiated by such
person unless such  proceeding  (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

          The Corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly  successful,
     on merits or otherwise,  in the defense of any  proceedings to which he/she
     was a party  because  he/she  was a  director  of the  Corporation  against
     reasonable expenses incurred by him/her in connection with the proceeding.

     Section 8.12. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may,
to the extent  authorized  from time to time by the Board of Directors,  provide
rights to  indemnification  and to the  advancement of expenses to employees and
agents of the  Corporation,  similar to those  conferred in this Article VIII to
directors and officers of the Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   Amendments

     Section 9.1. Amendments. These By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed,
in whole or in part, or new By-Laws may be adopted:  (i) by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the  holders of record of the  outstanding  shares  entitled to
vote thereon, or by the written consent of the holders of record of a two-thirds
majority of the  outstanding  shares  entitled to vote  thereon,  except as such
alteration,  amendment  or  repeal  by  any  vote  or  written  consent  of  the
stockholders is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute; or (ii) by a majority
vote of the Board of Directors,  or by unanimous  written  consent of the board,
except  as such  alteration,  amendment  or  repeal by any vote or action of the
board is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                Emergency By-Laws

     Section 10.1.  Emergency By-Laws.  The Emergency By-Laws shall be operative
during any emergency in the conduct of the business of the Corporation resulting
from an attack on the United  States or on a locality  in which the  Corporation
conducts its business or customarily holds meetings of its Board of Directors or
its  stockholders,  or during  any  nuclear  or atomic  disaster,  or during the
existence of any catastrophe,  or similar  emergency  condition,  as a result of
which a quorum of the Board of Directors or a standing  committee thereof cannot
readily be convened for action, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
the preceding By-Laws,  in the Certificate of Incorporation,  or in the statute.
To the extent not  inconsistent  with the  provisions of this Section 10.1,  the
By-Laws of the Corporation shall remain in effect during any emergency, and upon
its  termination,  the  Emergency  By-Laws  shall  cease  to be  operative.  Any
amendments  to  these  Emergency  By-Laws  may  make any  further  or  different
provision  that may be  practical  and  necessary  for the  circumstance  of the
emergency.

          During any such emergency:  (A) a meeting of the Board of Directors or
     a  committee  thereof  may be  called by any  officer  or  director  of the
     Corporation. Notice of the time and place of the meeting or conference call
     shall be given by the person  calling the meeting to such of the  directors
     as it may be feasible to reach by any means of  communication.  Such notice
     shall be given at such time in  advance  of the  meeting  as  circumstances
     permit in the judgment of the person calling the meeting;  (B) the director
     or directors in attendance at the meeting  shall  constitute a quorum;  (C)
     the officers or other persons designated on a list approved by the Board of
     Directors  before the emergency,  all in such order of priority and subject
     to such  conditions and for such period of time (not longer than reasonably
     necessary after the termination of the emergency) as may be provided in the
     resolution  approving the list,  shall, to the extent required to provide a
     quorum at any meeting of the Board of  Directors,  be deemed the  directors
     for such meeting;  (D) the Board of Directors,  either before or during any
     such  emergency,  may  provide,  and  from  time to time  modify,  lines of
     succession  in the event that during such  emergency any or all officers or
     agents of the  Corporation  shall for any reason be rendered  incapable  of
     discharging  their  duties;  (E) the Board of  Directors,  either before or
     during any such emergency, may, effective in the emergency, change the head
     office or designate  several  alternative head offices or regional offices,
     or  authorize  the  officers  so to do; and (F) to the extent  required  to
     constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors during such an
     emergency, the officers of the Corporation who are present shall be deemed,
     in order of rank  and  within  the  same  rank in order of  seniority,  the
     directors for such meeting.

          No  officer,  director  or  employee  acting  in  accordance  with any
     provision of these  Emergency  By-Laws  shall be liable  except for willful
     misconduct.

          These Emergency  By-Laws shall be subject to alteration,  amendment or
     repeal by the further  actions of the Board of Directors or stockholders of
     the Corporation.

    (b)        Duties. The Board of Managers shall be obligated to devote only as much of their time to the Company’s business as shall be reasonably required in light of the Company’s business and objectives. A Manager shall perform his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

    (c)        Board Composition; Removal and Vacancies. Cinergy Solutions shall be entitled to designate one-half of the Managers to the Board of Managers and Trigen Solutions shall be entitled to designate the remaining half of the Managers to the Board of Managers. Those Managers designated to the Board of Managers by Cinergy Solutions are referred to herein as the “Cinergy Solutions Managers” and those Managers designated to the Board of Managers by Trigen Solutions are referred to herein as the “Trigen Solutions Managers”. Each Manager shall serve until his or her removal, resignation, death or retirement. Each Member shall vote all of its Interest and shall take all other action necessary or desirable within its control (including, without limitation, attendance at meetings in person or by proxy and execution of written consents in lieu of meetings), so that the designees of the other Member are duly elected to the Board of Managers. Upon the removal, resignation, death or retirement of a Manager, or vacation of office by any Manager for any reason, his or her successor shall be nominated and elected by the same Member as originally proposed by the former Manager. Any successor so elected shall retain his or her office during such time only as the former Manager was entitled to retain the same. Trigen Solutions shall have the exclusive right to remove any Trigen Solutions Manager at any time and for any reason whatsoever and to fill the vacancy of the Trigen Solutions Managers, and Cinergy Solutions shall have the exclusive right to remove any Cinergy Solutions Manager at any time and for any reason whatsoever and to fill the vacancy of the Cinergy Solutions Managers.

    (d)        Restrictions on the Board. The Board of Managers shall not: (i) do any act in contravention of any applicable law or regulation, or provision of this Agreement; (ii) possess Company property for other than a Company purpose; or (iii) admit any new Members without the unanimous consent of existing Members or without compliance with Article XI hereof.

        Section 4.2. Notice.

        Meetings of the Board of Managers may be held at such places and at such times as the Board of Managers may from time to time determine and, if so determined by a quorum of the Board of Managers, no advance notice of meeting need be given. Any three (3) Managers may at any time call a meeting of the Board of Managers. Written notice of the time, place, and purpose of such meeting shall be served by registered or certified, prepaid first class, mail, or by fax or cable, upon each member of the Board of Managers and shall be given at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time of the meeting. No notice need be given to any Manager if a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting by such Manager thereunto duly authorized, is filed with the records of the meeting, or to any Manager who attends the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice to him. A waiver of notice need not specify the purposes of the meeting.

        Regular meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held on such dates as the Board of Managers shall agree but not less frequently than once in each fiscal year of the Company. Members of the Board of Managers, or of any committee designated by the board, may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

        Section 4.4. Quorum and Voting.

        A majority of the Managers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Board of Managers, provided, that at least one Cinergy Solutions Manager and one Trigen Solutions Manager are present.

ARTICLE V
DEADLOCK RESOLUTION

        Section 5.1. Deadlocks.

        A “Deadlock” shall be a fundamental breakdown in the relationship between the parties as evidenced by the sequence of events described below.

    (a)        A Member or a Manager (the “Proponent”), advances a proposal (the “Proposal”) for consideration at a meeting of the Board of Managers or Members of the Company; and

    (b)        Prior to the meeting at which the Proposal is advanced, the Proponent notifies the Board of Managers and/or Members that it considers the Proposal to be essential to the continuance of the Proponent’s investment in the Company, specifying the reasons therefore; and

    (c)        The Proposal is not approved at that meeting (as a result of either a rejection thereof or a failure to consider it) or the meeting is canceled by reason of a lack of a quorum resulting from the non-attendance of the non-Proponent Member’s designees, at which time a Deadlock will be deemed to have occurred.

        Section 5.2. Resolution Mechanism.

    (a)        Upon the occurrence of a Deadlock, the Proponent may cause the Proposal and the Deadlock to be referred to the Chief Executive Officers of the ultimate U.S. parent company of each of their respective Affiliated group of companies (i.e., Trigen Solutions Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in the case of Trigen Solutions and Cinergy Corp., a Delaware corporation, in the case of Cinergy Solutions). If such Chief Executive Officers are unable to resolve the Deadlock within ten (10) business days thereafter, then (but only then) the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall apply; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall not apply until the first anniversary of the formation of the Company, unless a failure to act by the Company would result in a breach of a material agreement to which the Company is a party or violate any applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

    (b)        (i) Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the ten (10) business-day period referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Proponent may offer to purchase (“Purchase Offer”) all (but not less than all) of the Interests and any indebtedness of the Company (collectively the “Applicable Interest”) owned by the other Member (“Offeree”), specifying (x) the aggregate price to be paid for the Applicable Interest (which aggregate price shall specify separately the price placed by the Proponent on each component of the Applicable Interest and be payable only in cash_ and other terms and conditions of the Purchase Offer, (y) a date by which the Purchase Offer must be accepted (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date the Purchase Offer is made) (the “Acceptance Date”) and (z) a proposed settlement date (the “Settlement Date”) therefor (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the specified Acceptance Date). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Settlement Date may be extended by either member by written notice to the other Member to the extent reasonably required to accommodate (i) any necessary approval or non-objection by or filing with any governmental or regulatory authority (each, a “Regulatory Approval”) including, without limitation, under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the “1935 Act”), or (ii) the removal of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances attributable to the selling Member and existing on the Applicable Interest (each, a “Lien”), in either case being sought in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted by the Member requesting the extension.

    (ii)        On or before the Acceptance Date, the Offeree may either accept the Purchase Offer or may by written notice to the Proponent elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Proponent’s Applicable Interest at the price and on the other terms and conditions specified by the Proponent in the Purchase Offer. If the Offeree neither accepts the Purchase Offer nor elects by the Acceptance Date to purchase the Proponent’s Applicable Interest, the Offeree will be deemed to have accepted the Purchase Offer.

    (iii)        In either event, the settlement will take place on the Settlement Date, as it may be extended per (b)(i) immediately above, and the Proponent will purchase, and the Offeree will sell, the Offeree’s Applicable Interest, or the Offeree will purchase, and the Proponent will sell, the Proponent’s Applicable Interest, as the case may be, at the price and place and on the other terms and conditions specified by the Proponent in the Purchase Offer, in either case free and clear of all Liens which are not connected with the financing or operation of the Company, at which time the Proponent’s Applicable Interest or the Offeree’s Applicable Interest (as the case may be) shall be delivered against payment of the said price. In order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the purchasing Member may designate a third party to purchase any portion or all of the Applicable Interest which the purchasing Member is committed to purchase hereunder.

The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulation.

    (c)        Any Capital Contributions made in a form other than cash shall be valued at the fair market value of such property as determined by the mutual consent of the Members.

        Section 6.5. Advances.

        If any Member, at its reasonable discretion upon reasonable advance notice to the other Member and only to the extent necessary to meet short-term working capital requirements, shall advance any funds to the Company in excess of its Capital Contributions, the amount of such advance shall neither increase its Capital Account nor entitle it to any increase in its share of the distributions of the Company. The amount of any such advance shall be a debt obligation of the Company to such Member and shall be repaid to it by the Company at a reasonable interest rate not to exceed a market rate, as soon as practicable. Any such advance shall be payable and collectible only out of Company assets, and the other Members shall not be personally obligated to repay any part thereof.

    (b)        Reliance Generally. A Covered Person shall incur no liability in acting upon any signature or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge and may rely on an opinion of counsel selected by such Covered Person with respect to legal matters, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct.

The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any Damages relating to such settlement arose from a material violation of this Agreement by, or Disabling Conduct of, any Covered Person.

    (b)        No Direct Member Indemnify. Members shall not be required directly to indemnify any Covered Person.

    (c)        Expenses, etc. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defense or settlement of any Claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined ultimately that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

In case any such Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person (other than a derivative suit in right of the Company), the Company will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Board of Managers may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person. After notice from the Board of Managers to such Covered Person of the Company’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense thereof.

    (e)        No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Section 10.3 shall constitute a waiver by any Member of any right that it may have against any party under United States Federal or state securities laws.

Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Section 11.1 Notice, the Second Member shall have the right to offer to purchase (the “First Offer”) all, but not less than all, the Offered Interest at a price payable only in case (the “First Offer Price”) and on such other terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the First Offer. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the First Offer, the Selling Members shall either accept or reject the First Offer. If the Selling Member accepts the First Offer, the Selling Member shall sell, and the Second Member shall purchase, the Offered Interest at a closing to be held at a time not later than sixty (60) days (or such longer period, if any, pending any necessary Regulatory Approval or removal of Liens) after the Selling Member’s acceptance of the First Offer and at such location as may be mutually agreed upon, at which time the Offered Interest shall be delivered, free and clear of all Liens which may have been imposed on the Offered Interest and are not connected with the financing or operation of the Company itself, against payment of the First Offer Price. In order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the purchasing Member may designate (i) a third party to purchase any portion of the Offered Interest which the purchasing Member has committed to purchase hereunder if the Offered Interest constitutes all of the Selling Member’s equity and debt interest in the Company, or (ii) a third party reasonably acceptable to the Selling Member to purchase any portion of the Offered Interest which the purchasing Member has committed to purchase hereunder if the Offered Interest constitutes less than all of the Selling Member’s equity and debt interest in the Company. If the Selling Member rejects or does not timely accept the First Offer, then the Selling Member shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days (or such longer period, if any, required to obtain any necessary Regulatory Approval or to remove any Liens) following such rejection within which to consummate the sale of the Offered Interest at a price per share in cash greater than the First Offer Price and in all other respects upon terms and conditions no less favorable than those specified in the First Offer. If no such sale occurs within such 120-day period (or longer period as described above), the Offered Interest shall again be subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this Section 11.1(b).

    (c)        Proportionate Sales Rights. If the Second Member does not elect to purchase the Offered Interest pursuant to Section 11.1(b) above, the Second Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the prospective purchaser identified in the First Offer the same proportion of the Second Member’s Interest as the proportion of the Selling Member’s Interest proposed to be sold by the Selling member at the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions on which, and at the same time as, the Selling Member wishes to sell its Interest. The proportionate sale right specified in this Section 11.1(c) shall be exercisable by written notice given by the Second Member to the Selling Member during the same thirty (30) day period in which the Second Member may make the First Offer contemplated under Section 11.1(b). The Selling Member shall not sell any of its Interest to the prospective purchaser unless such purchaser honors its obligation to purchase a proportionate Interest from the Second member as provided herein. Any purported Transfer inconsistent with this Section 11.1(c) shall be null and void and of no effect.

        Section 11.2. Issue and Replacement of Certificates.

        Upon the request of any Member, an Interest certificate shall be delivered to such Member for the Interest held by it. Every certificate shall be signed by one Cinergy Manager and one Trigen Solutions Manager. In the case of loss, mutilation, or destruction of a share certificate a new certificate may be issued upon such terms as the Board of Managers may prescribe.

        Section 11.3. Interest Certificate Legend.

        All certificates representing Interests shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legend required by applicable law):

        “These interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in violation of any applicable securities law. These interests are subject to the terms and conditions, including restrictions on transfers, pledges or other dispositions, of a Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of October 20, 1999, each as amended from time to time, copies of which are on file with the Secretary of the Company.”

        Section 12.3. Time for Liquidation, etc.

    (a)        A reasonable time period shall be allowed for the orderly winding up and liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors as to enable the Liquidating Trustee to seek to minimize potential losses upon such liquidation. The provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

    (b)        Upon completion of the foregoing, the Liquidating Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed a certificate of cancellation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

        Section 12.4. Claims of the Members.

        The Members and any former Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provisions of all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against any Member, any Manager or their Affiliates.

        Section 4.4. Quorum and Voting.

        A majority of the Managers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Board of Managers, provided, that at least one Cinergy Solutions Manager and one Trigen Solutions Manager are present.

ARTICLE V
DEADLOCK RESOLUTION

        Section 5.1. Deadlocks.

        A “Deadlock” shall be a fundamental breakdown in the relationship between the parties as evidenced by the sequence of events described below.

    (a)        A Member or a Manager (the “Proponent”), advances a proposal (the “Proposal”) for consideration at a meeting of the Board of Managers or Members of the Company; and

    (b)        Prior to the meeting at which the Proposal is advanced, the Proponent notifies the Board of Managers and/or Members that it considers the Proposal to be essential to the continuance of the Proponent’s investment in the Company, specifying the reasons therefore; and

    (c)        The Proposal is not approved at that meeting (as a result of either a rejection thereof or a failure to consider it) or the meeting is canceled by reason of a lack of a quorum resulting from the non-attendance of the non-Proponent Member’s designees, at which time a Deadlock will be deemed to have occurred.

        Section 5.2. Resolution Mechanism.

    (a)        Upon the occurrence of a Deadlock, the Proponent may cause the Proposal and the Deadlock to be referred to the Chief Executive Officers of the ultimate U.S. parent company of each of their respective Affiliated group of companies (i.e., Trigen Solutions Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in the case of Trigen Solutions and Cinergy Corp., a Delaware corporation, in the case of Cinergy Solutions). If such Chief Executive Officers are unable to resolve the Deadlock within ten (10) business days thereafter, then (but only then) the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall apply; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall not apply until the first anniversary of the formation of the Company, unless a failure to act by the Company would result in a breach of a material agreement to which the Company is a party or violate any applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

    (b)        (i) Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the ten (10) business-day period referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Proponent may offer to purchase (“Purchase Offer”) all (but not less than all) of the Interests and any indebtedness of the Company (collectively the “Applicable Interest”) owned by the other Member (“Offeree”), specifying (x) the aggregate price to be paid for the Applicable Interest (which aggregate price shall specify separately the price placed by the Proponent on each component of the Applicable Interest and be payable only in cash_ and other terms and conditions of the Purchase Offer, (y) a date by which the Purchase Offer must be accepted (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date the Purchase Offer is made) (the “Acceptance Date”) and (z) a proposed settlement date (the “Settlement Date”) therefor (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the specified Acceptance Date). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Settlement Date may be extended by either member by written notice to the other Member to the extent reasonably required to accommodate (i) any necessary approval or non-objection by or filing with any governmental or regulatory authority (each, a “Regulatory Approval”) including, without limitation, under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the “1935 Act”), or (ii) the removal of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances attributable to the selling Member and existing on the Applicable Interest (each, a “Lien”), in either case being sought in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted by the Member requesting the extension.

    (ii)        On or before the Acceptance Date, the Offeree may either accept the Purchase Offer or may by written notice to the Proponent elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Proponent’s Applicable Interest at the price and on the other terms and conditions specified by the Proponent in the Purchase Offer. If the Offeree neither accepts the Purchase Offer nor elects by the Acceptance Date to purchase the Proponent’s Applicable Interest, the Offeree will be deemed to have accepted the Purchase Offer.

    (iii)        In either event, the settlement will take place on the Settlement Date, as it may be extended per (b)(i) immediately above, and the Proponent will purchase, and the Offeree will sell, the Offeree’s Applicable Interest, or the Offeree will purchase, and the Proponent will sell, the Proponent’s Applicable Interest, as the case may be, at the price and place and on the other terms and conditions specified by the Proponent in the Purchase Offer, in either case free and clear of all Liens which are not connected with the financing or operation of the Company, at which time the Proponent’s Applicable Interest or the Offeree’s Applicable Interest (as the case may be) shall be delivered against payment of the said price. In order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the purchasing Member may designate a third party to purchase any portion or all of the Applicable Interest which the purchasing Member is committed to purchase hereunder.

No Member shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any action taken by any other Member.

    (b)        Reliance Generally. A Covered Person shall incur no liability in acting upon any signature or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge and may rely on an opinion of counsel selected by such Covered Person with respect to legal matters, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct. Each Covered Person may act directly or through its agents or attorneys. Each Covered Person may consult with counsel, appraisers, engineers, accountants and other skilled Persons of its choosing, and shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith in reasonable reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers of the Covered Person, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct.

    (c)        Reliance on this Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to the Members, any Covered Person acting under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

    (d)        Standard of Care. Whenever in this Agreement a Person is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole and absolute discretion,” “sole discretion,” “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or other applicable law.

The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any Damages relating to such settlement arose from a material violation of this Agreement by, or Disabling Conduct of, any Covered Person.

    (b)        No Direct Member Indemnify. Members shall not be required directly to indemnify any Covered Person.

    (c)        Expenses, etc. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defense or settlement of any Claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined ultimately that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

In case any such Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person (other than a derivative suit in right of the Company), the Company will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Board of Managers may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person. After notice from the Board of Managers to such Covered Person of the Company’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense thereof.

    (e)        No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Section 10.3 shall constitute a waiver by any Member of any right that it may have against any party under United States Federal or state securities laws.

    (f)        Authorization. Any indemnification under Section 10.3, as well as the advance payment of expenses permitted under Section 10.3(c), unless ordered by a court, must be made by this Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper under those circumstances. The determination must be made:

    (1)        by the Board of Managers by a majority of a quorum consisting of Managers who were not parties to the act or Proceeding;

    (2)        if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of those Managers who were not parties to the act or Proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

ARTICLE XI TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

        Section 11.1. Personal Property; Consent for Transfers.

    (a)        Restrictions on Transfer. A Member shall not transfer, sell, assign, convey, exchange, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any of its Interest unless: (i) the other Member has been afforded a right of first offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 11.1; (ii) the contemplated Transfer will not adversely affect the regulatory status of the Company or the Sweetheart Cup Project; (iii) all requisite Regulatory Approvals have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect; and (iv) the contemplated Transfer will not result in adverse tax treatment for the Company, the Sweetheart Cup Project or either of the Members.

    (b)        Right of First Offer. In the event a Member desires to Transfer all or any part of its Interest, such Members (the “Selling Member”) shall first deliver a written notice (the “Section 11.1 Notice”) to the other Member (the “Second Member”) which notice shall specify the portion of the Selling Member’s Interest to be sold (the “Offered Interest”). Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Section 11.1 Notice, the Second Member shall have the right to offer to purchase (the “First Offer”) all, but not less than all, the Offered Interest at a price payable only in case (the “First Offer Price”) and on such other terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the First Offer. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the First Offer, the Selling Members shall either accept or reject the First Offer. If the Selling Member accepts the First Offer, the Selling Member shall sell, and the Second Member shall purchase, the Offered Interest at a closing to be held at a time not later than sixty (60) days (or such longer period, if any, pending any necessary Regulatory Approval or removal of Liens) after the Selling Member’s acceptance of the First Offer and at such location as may be mutually agreed upon, at which time the Offered Interest shall be delivered, free and clear of all Liens which may have been imposed on the Offered Interest and are not connected with the financing or operation of the Company itself, against payment of the First Offer Price. In order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the purchasing Member may designate (i) a third party to purchase any portion of the Offered Interest which the purchasing Member has committed to purchase hereunder if the Offered Interest constitutes all of the Selling Member’s equity and debt interest in the Company, or (ii) a third party reasonably acceptable to the Selling Member to purchase any portion of the Offered Interest which the purchasing Member has committed to purchase hereunder if the Offered Interest constitutes less than all of the Selling Member’s equity and debt interest in the Company. If the Selling Member rejects or does not timely accept the First Offer, then the Selling Member shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days (or such longer period, if any, required to obtain any necessary Regulatory Approval or to remove any Liens) following such rejection within which to consummate the sale of the Offered Interest at a price per share in cash greater than the First Offer Price and in all other respects upon terms and conditions no less favorable than those specified in the First Offer. If no such sale occurs within such 120-day period (or longer period as described above), the Offered Interest shall again be subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this Section 11.1(b).

    (c)        Proportionate Sales Rights. If the Second Member does not elect to purchase the Offered Interest pursuant to Section 11.1(b) above, the Second Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the prospective purchaser identified in the First Offer the same proportion of the Second Member’s Interest as the proportion of the Selling Member’s Interest proposed to be sold by the Selling member at the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions on which, and at the same time as, the Selling Member wishes to sell its Interest. The proportionate sale right specified in this Section 11.1(c) shall be exercisable by written notice given by the Second Member to the Selling Member during the same thirty (30) day period in which the Second Member may make the First Offer contemplated under Section 11.1(b). The Selling Member shall not sell any of its Interest to the prospective purchaser unless such purchaser honors its obligation to purchase a proportionate Interest from the Second member as provided herein. Any purported Transfer inconsistent with this Section 11.1(c) shall be null and void and of no effect.

        Section 11.2. Issue and Replacement of Certificates.

        Upon the request of any Member, an Interest certificate shall be delivered to such Member for the Interest held by it. Every certificate shall be signed by one Cinergy Manager and one Trigen Solutions Manager. In the case of loss, mutilation, or destruction of a share certificate a new certificate may be issued upon such terms as the Board of Managers may prescribe.

        Section 11.3. Interest Certificate Legend.

        All certificates representing Interests shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legend required by applicable law):

        “These interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in violation of any applicable securities law. These interests are subject to the terms and conditions, including restrictions on transfers, pledges or other dispositions, of a Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of October 20, 1999, each as amended from time to time, copies of which are on file with the Secretary of the Company.”

The provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

    (b)        Upon completion of the foregoing, the Liquidating Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed a certificate of cancellation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE V
DEADLOCK RESOLUTION

        Section 5.1. Deadlocks.

        A “Deadlock” shall be a fundamental breakdown in the relationship between the parties as evidenced by the sequence of events described below.

    (a)        A Member or a Manager (the “Proponent”), advances a proposal (the “Proposal”) for consideration at a meeting of the Board of Managers or Members of the Company; and

    (b)        Prior to the meeting at which the Proposal is advanced, the Proponent notifies the Board of Managers and/or Members that it considers the Proposal to be essential to the continuance of the Proponent’s investment in the Company, specifying the reasons therefore; and

    (c)        The Proposal is not approved at that meeting (as a result of either a rejection thereof or a failure to consider it) or the meeting is canceled by reason of a lack of a quorum resulting from the non-attendance of the non-Proponent Member’s designees, at which time a Deadlock will be deemed to have occurred.

        Section 5.2. Resolution Mechanism.

    (a)        Upon the occurrence of a Deadlock, the Proponent may cause the Proposal and the Deadlock to be referred to the Chief Executive Officers of the ultimate U.S. parent company of each of their respective Affiliated group of companies (i.e., Trigen Solutions Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in the case of Trigen Solutions and Cinergy Corp., a Delaware corporation, in the case of Cinergy Solutions). If such Chief Executive Officers are unable to resolve the Deadlock within ten (10) business days thereafter, then (but only then) the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall apply; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall not apply until the first anniversary of the formation of the Company, unless a failure to act by the Company would result in a breach of a material agreement to which the Company is a party or violate any applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

    (b)        (i) Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the ten (10) business-day period referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Proponent may offer to purchase (“Purchase Offer”) all (but not less than all) of the Interests and any indebtedness of the Company (collectively the “Applicable Interest”) owned by the other Member (“Offeree”), specifying (x) the aggregate price to be paid for the Applicable Interest (which aggregate price shall specify separately the price placed by the Proponent on each component of the Applicable Interest and be payable only in cash_ and other terms and conditions of the Purchase Offer, (y) a date by which the Purchase Offer must be accepted (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date the Purchase Offer is made) (the “Acceptance Date”) and (z) a proposed settlement date (the “Settlement Date”) therefor (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the specified Acceptance Date). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Settlement Date may be extended by either member by written notice to the other Member to the extent reasonably required to accommodate (i) any necessary approval or non-objection by or filing with any governmental or regulatory authority (each, a “Regulatory Approval”) including, without limitation, under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the “1935 Act”), or (ii) the removal of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances attributable to the selling Member and existing on the Applicable Interest (each, a “Lien”), in either case being sought in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted by the Member requesting the extension.

    (ii)        On or before the Acceptance Date, the Offeree may either accept the Purchase Offer or may by written notice to the Proponent elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Proponent’s Applicable Interest at the price and on the other terms and conditions specified by the Proponent in the Purchase Offer. If the Offeree neither accepts the Purchase Offer nor elects by the Acceptance Date to purchase the Proponent’s Applicable Interest, the Offeree will be deemed to have accepted the Purchase Offer.

    (iii)        In either event, the settlement will take place on the Settlement Date, as it may be extended per (b)(i) immediately above, and the Proponent will purchase, and the Offeree will sell, the Offeree’s Applicable Interest, or the Offeree will purchase, and the Proponent will sell, the Proponent’s Applicable Interest, as the case may be, at the price and place and on the other terms and conditions specified by the Proponent in the Purchase Offer, in either case free and clear of all Liens which are not connected with the financing or operation of the Company, at which time the Proponent’s Applicable Interest or the Offeree’s Applicable Interest (as the case may be) shall be delivered against payment of the said price. In order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the purchasing Member may designate a third party to purchase any portion or all of the Applicable Interest which the purchasing Member is committed to purchase hereunder.

        Section 10.2. Exculpation.

    (a)        Generally. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Covered Person in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Company and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement, provided that such act or omission is not in material violation of this Agreement and does not constitute Disabling Conduct by the Covered Person. No Member shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any action taken by any other Member.

    (b)        Reliance Generally. A Covered Person shall incur no liability in acting upon any signature or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge and may rely on an opinion of counsel selected by such Covered Person with respect to legal matters, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct. Each Covered Person may act directly or through its agents or attorneys. Each Covered Person may consult with counsel, appraisers, engineers, accountants and other skilled Persons of its choosing, and shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith in reasonable reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers of the Covered Person, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.2, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any mistake of fact or judgment by the Covered Person in conducting the affairs of the Company or otherwise acting in respect of and within the scope of this Agreement, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct. No Covered Person shall be liable for the return to any Member of all or any portion of any Member’s Capital Account or Capital Contributions, except to the extent that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct.

    (c)        Reliance on this Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to the Members, any Covered Person acting under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

    (d)        Standard of Care. Whenever in this Agreement a Person is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole and absolute discretion,” “sole discretion,” “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or other applicable law.

        Section 10.3. Indemnification.

    (a)        Indemnification Generally. The Company shall and hereby does, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and release each Covered Person from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and actions, whether juridical, administrative, investigative or otherwise, of whatever nature, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated (“Claims”), that may accrue to or be incurred by any Covered Person, or in which any Covered Person may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which any Covered Person may be threatened, relating to or arising out of the business and affairs of, or activities undertaken in connection with, the Company, or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for or defense or disposition of any investigation, action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding (a “Proceeding”), whether civil or criminal (all of such Claims and amounts covered by this Section 10.3 and all expenses referred to in Section 10.3(c), are referred to as “Damages”), except to the extent that it shall have been determined ultimately that such Damages arose from Disabling Conduct of such Covered Person or that such Covered Person committed a material breach of this Agreement. The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any Damages relating to such settlement arose from a material violation of this Agreement by, or Disabling Conduct of, any Covered Person.

    (b)        No Direct Member Indemnify. Members shall not be required directly to indemnify any Covered Person.

    (c)        Expenses, etc. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defense or settlement of any Claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined ultimately that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Covered Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

    (d)        Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, such Covered Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, give written notice to the Company of the commencement of such Proceeding, provided that the failure of any Covered Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 10.3 except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person (other than a derivative suit in right of the Company), the Company will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Board of Managers may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person. After notice from the Board of Managers to such Covered Person of the Company’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense thereof. The Company will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Covered Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim.

    (e)        No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Section 10.3 shall constitute a waiver by any Member of any right that it may have against any party under United States Federal or state securities laws.

    (f)        Authorization. Any indemnification under Section 10.3, as well as the advance payment of expenses permitted under Section 10.3(c), unless ordered by a court, must be made by this Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper under those circumstances. The determination must be made:

    (1)        by the Board of Managers by a majority of a quorum consisting of Managers who were not parties to the act or Proceeding;

    (2)        if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of those Managers who were not parties to the act or Proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

    (3)        if a quorum consisting of Managers who were not parties to the act or Proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

ARTICLE XI
TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

        Section 11.1. Personal Property; Consent for Transfers.

    (a)        Restrictions on Transfer. A Member shall not transfer, sell, assign, convey, exchange, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any of its Interest unless: (i) the other Member has been afforded a right of first offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 11.1; (ii) the contemplated Transfer will not adversely affect the regulatory status of the Company or the Sweetheart Cup Project; (iii) all requisite Regulatory Approvals have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect; and (iv) the contemplated Transfer will not result in adverse tax treatment for the Company, the Sweetheart Cup Project or either of the Members.

    (b)        Right of First Offer. In the event a Member desires to Transfer all or any part of its Interest, such Members (the “Selling Member”) shall first deliver a written notice (the “Section 11.1 Notice”) to the other Member (the “Second Member”) which notice shall specify the portion of the Selling Member’s Interest to be sold (the “Offered Interest”). Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Section 11.1 Notice, the Second Member shall have the right to offer to purchase (the “First Offer”) all, but not less than all, the Offered Interest at a price payable only in case (the “First Offer Price”) and on such other terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the First Offer. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the First Offer, the Selling Members shall either accept or reject the First Offer. If the Selling Member accepts the First Offer, the Selling Member shall sell, and the Second Member shall purchase, the Offered Interest at a closing to be held at a time not later than sixty (60) days (or such longer period, if any, pending any necessary Regulatory Approval or removal of Liens) after the Selling Member’s acceptance of the First Offer and at such location as may be mutually agreed upon, at which time the Offered Interest shall be delivered, free and clear of all Liens which may have been imposed on the Offered Interest and are not connected with the financing or operation of the Company itself, against payment of the First Offer Price. In order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the purchasing Member may designate (i) a third party to purchase any portion of the Offered Interest which the purchasing Member has committed to purchase hereunder if the Offered Interest constitutes all of the Selling Member’s equity and debt interest in the Company, or (ii) a third party reasonably acceptable to the Selling Member to purchase any portion of the Offered Interest which the purchasing Member has committed to purchase hereunder if the Offered Interest constitutes less than all of the Selling Member’s equity and debt interest in the Company. If the Selling Member rejects or does not timely accept the First Offer, then the Selling Member shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days (or such longer period, if any, required to obtain any necessary Regulatory Approval or to remove any Liens) following such rejection within which to consummate the sale of the Offered Interest at a price per share in cash greater than the First Offer Price and in all other respects upon terms and conditions no less favorable than those specified in the First Offer. If no such sale occurs within such 120-day period (or longer period as described above), the Offered Interest shall again be subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this Section 11.1(b).

    (c)        Proportionate Sales Rights. If the Second Member does not elect to purchase the Offered Interest pursuant to Section 11.1(b) above, the Second Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the prospective purchaser identified in the First Offer the same proportion of the Second Member’s Interest as the proportion of the Selling Member’s Interest proposed to be sold by the Selling member at the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions on which, and at the same time as, the Selling Member wishes to sell its Interest. The proportionate sale right specified in this Section 11.1(c) shall be exercisable by written notice given by the Second Member to the Selling Member during the same thirty (30) day period in which the Second Member may make the First Offer contemplated under Section 11.1(b). The Selling Member shall not sell any of its Interest to the prospective purchaser unless such purchaser honors its obligation to purchase a proportionate Interest from the Second member as provided herein. Any purported Transfer inconsistent with this Section 11.1(c) shall be null and void and of no effect.

        Section 11.2. Issue and Replacement of Certificates.

        Upon the request of any Member, an Interest certificate shall be delivered to such Member for the Interest held by it. Every certificate shall be signed by one Cinergy Manager and one Trigen Solutions Manager. In the case of loss, mutilation, or destruction of a share certificate a new certificate may be issued upon such terms as the Board of Managers may prescribe.

        Section 11.3. Interest Certificate Legend.

        All certificates representing Interests shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legend required by applicable law):

        “These interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in violation of any applicable securities law. These interests are subject to the terms and conditions, including restrictions on transfers, pledges or other dispositions, of a Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of October 20, 1999, each as amended from time to time, copies of which are on file with the Secretary of the Company.”

        Section 12.3. Time for Liquidation, etc.

    (a)        A reasonable time period shall be allowed for the orderly winding up and liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors as to enable the Liquidating Trustee to seek to minimize potential losses upon such liquidation. The provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

    (b)        Upon completion of the foregoing, the Liquidating Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed a certificate of cancellation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

Section 12.4. Claims of the Members.

        The Members and any former Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provisions of all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against any Member, any Manager or their Affiliates.

"Allocation  Regulations"),  so  that  the  tax  allocations  provided  in  this
Agreement  shall, to the extent  possible,  have  "substantial  economic effect"
within the meaning of the Allocation Regulations, or, if such allocations cannot
have  substantial  economic  effect,  so  that  they  may  be  deemed  to be "in
accordance  with the member(s')  interests in the Company" within the meaning of
the Allocation Regulations.

in  accordance  with  Section  18-803 of the Act (and shall  promptly do so upon
dissolution of the Company) and shall also have the right to act as or appoint a
liquidating trustee in connection therewith.

     Section 9.1 Tax  Treatment.  The Company  shall  timely make all  necessary
elections  and filings for federal,  state,  and local tax purposes such that it
will not be treated as a separate entity, but, instead, will be disregarded, for
federal, state, and local tax purposes.

     Section  9.2 Form  K-1.  After  the end of each  Fiscal  Year for which the
Company  shall  have more  than one  member,  the  member(s)  shall  cause to be

the case may be) may, in their sole discretion,  make or refrain from making any
federal,  state or local income or other tax  elections  for the Company that it
deems  necessary or  advisable;  provided that if there is more than one member,

Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     Section 10.1  Exculpation.  Notwithstanding  any other  provisions  of this
Agreement,  whether  express  or  implied,  or  obligation  or duty at law or in
equity, none of any member, or any officers, directors, stockholders,  partners,
employees,  representatives or agents of any of the foregoing,  nor any officer,
employee,  representative,  manager  or  agent  of  the  Company  or  any of its
affiliates  (individually,  a "Covered  Person" and  collectively,  the "Covered
Persons")  shall be liable to the  Company  or any other  person  for any act or
omission (in relation to the Company,  this Agreement,  any related  document or
any transaction or investment  contemplated  hereby or thereby) taken or omitted
in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable  belief that such act or
omission is in or is not  contrary to the best  interests  of the Company and is
within the scope of authority  granted to such Covered  Person by the Agreement,
provided  that  such  act  or  omission  does  not  constitute  fraud,   willful
misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence.

     Section 10.2  Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company shall  indemnify and hold harmless each Covered  Person from and against
any and all losses, claims, demands,  liabilities,  expenses,  judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions,
suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
the Covered Person may be involved,  or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise,  by reason of its  management  of the affairs of the Company or which
relates to or arises out of the Company or its property,  business or affairs. A
Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification  under this Section 10.2
with  respect  to any claim,  issue or matter in which it has  engaged in fraud,
willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  Miscellaneous

     Section 11.1 Amendment to this Agreement.  Except as otherwise  provided in
this  Agreement,  this  Agreement  may be  amended  by,  and only by, a  written
instrument  executed by the Member or, if  additional  member(s)  are  admitted,
unanimous consent of the member(s).

     Section  11.2  Successors;  Counterparts.  Subject  to Article  VIII,  this
Agreement  (a) shall be binding as to the  executors,  administrators,  estates,
heirs and legal successors, or nominees or representatives, of the Member or, if
additional  member(s)  are  admitted,  the  member(s) and (b) may be executed in
several  counterparts  with the same  effect  as if the  parties  executing  the
several counterparts had all executed one counterpart.

     Section 11.3 Governing Law; Severability.  This Agreement shall be governed
by and  construed in accordance  with the laws of the State of Delaware  without
giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. In particular, this
Agreement  shall be construed to the maximum extent  possible to comply with all
the terms and conditions of the Act. If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by
a court  of  competent  jurisdiction  that any  provisions  or  wording  of this
Agreement shall be invalid or  unenforceable  under the Act or other  applicable
law,  such  invalidity  or  unenforceability  shall not  invalidate  the  entire
Agreement  and this  Agreement  shall be  construed  so as to limit  any term or
provision  so as to make it  enforceable  or valid  within the  requirements  of
applicable law, and, in the event such term or provisions  cannot be so limited,
this Agreement shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable terms or
provisions.  If it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
any provisions  relating to the  distributions and allocations of the Company or
to any  expenses  payable  by the  Company is  invalid  or  unenforceable,  this
Agreement  shall be construed or interpreted so as (a) to make it enforceable or
valid and (b) to make the distributions and allocations as closely equivalent to
those set forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable law.

     Section  11.4  Filings.  Following  the  execution  and  delivery  of  this
Agreement,  the Member shall promptly prepare any documents required to be filed
and  recorded  under the Act,  and the  Member  shall  promptly  cause each such
document to be filed and recorded in accordance  with the Act and, to the extent
required  by local  law,  to be filed  and  recorded  or  notice  thereof  to be
published in the appropriate place in each jurisdiction in which the Company may
hereafter establish a place of business. The Member shall also promptly cause to
be filed, recorded and published such statements of fictitious business name and
any other notices, certificates, statements or other instruments required by any
provision  of any  applicable  law of the  United  States  or any state or other
jurisdiction which governs the conduct of its business from time to time.

     Section  11.5  Headings.  Section  and  other  headings  contained  in this
Agreement  are for  reference  purposes  only and are not  intended to describe,
interpret,  define  or  limit  the  scope or  intent  of this  Agreement  or any
provision hereof.

     Section  11.6  Additional  Documents.  Each  member  agrees to perform  all
further  acts and execute,  acknowledge  and deliver any  documents  that may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 11.7 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any
member  shall be in writing (and  delivered  via first class  overnight  mail or
telecopier  or similar  method) and shall be given to such member (and any other
person  designated by such member) at its address or telecopier number set forth
in a schedule  filed with the  records of the  Company or such other  address or
telecopier  number as such  member  may  hereafter  specify  for the  purpose by
notice. Each such notice,  request or other communication shall be effective (a)
if given by telecopier,  when  transmitted to the number  specified  pursuant to
this Section and the appropriate confirmation is received, (b) if given by mail,
72 hours after such  communication  is  deposited  in the mails with first class
postage  prepaid,  addressed as  aforesaid,  or (c) if given by any other means,
when delivered at the address specified pursuant to this Section.

     Section 11.8 Books and Records;  Accounting.  The Member or, if  additional
member(s)  are  admitted,  the  member(s)  shall keep or cause to be kept at the
address of the Company (or at such other place as the member(s)  shall determine
in their discretion) true and full books and records regarding the status of the
business and financial condition of the Company.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the undersigned has duly executed this Agreement as of
the date first above written.

          provided that any adjourned  session or sessions are held within sixty
          (60) days after the date set for the original meeting.  No notice need
          be given to any Member if a written waiver of notice,  executed before
          or after the  meeting by such Member or his  representative  thereunto
          duly authorized,  is filed with the records of the meeting,  or to any
          Member who attends the meeting without  protesting prior thereto or at
          its  commencement  the lack of notice to him. A waiver of notice  need
          not specify the purposes of the meeting.

     (e)  Quorum  and  Voting.  The  presence  of at least  one duly  authorized
          representative  of each Member shall  constitute a quorum for purposes
          of transacting business at any meeting of Members. Except as otherwise
          provided by this  Agreement,  any question  brought before any meeting
          shall be decided by the Members  who,  at the time in question  and in
          the  aggregate,  hold,  or hold  proxies  with respect to, one hundred
          percent  (100%) of Interest  Percentages.  Interests of Members may be
          voted in person or by proxy.

     (f)  Electronic  Communications.  Members may participate in any meeting of
          Members by means of  conference  telephone  or similar  communications
          equipment by means of which all persons  participating  in the meeting
          can  hear  each  other,  and such  participation  in a  meeting  shall
          constitute presence in person at the meeting.

     (g)  Actions of Members Without a Meeting.  Any action required to be taken
          at any  meeting of Members or  otherwise,  or any action  which may be
          taken at any meeting of Members or  otherwise,  may be taken without a
          meeting,  without  prior  notice and  without a vote,  if a consent in
          writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by Members
          having one hundred  percent  (100%) of the Interest  Percentages.  Any
          such written consent may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
          of which  shall be deemed to be an  original,  but all of which  shall
          constitute one and the same document.

     Section 3.4. Member Representations.

     (a)  Investment.  Each Member  represents and warrants to the other and the
          Company that (i) its  Interest has been  acquired for its own account,

          participating,  directly  or  indirectly,  in or  for  the  resale  in
          connection with any distribution (as interpreted  under any applicable
          law)  thereof,   nor  with  any  present  intention  of  dividing  its
          participation,   distribution,   reselling,   assigning  or  otherwise
          disposing of all or part of such  Interest,  and (ii) it will not make
          or  offer to make a  transfer  of its  Interest  in  violation  of the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable Federal or
          state securities laws.

     (b)  Binding  Obligation.  Each Member represents and warrants to the other
          Members and the Company that this Agreement has been duly  authorized,
          executed  and  delivered  on behalf of such  Member  and is the legal,
          valid and binding obligation of such Member, enforceable against it in
          accordance with its terms.

                              ARTICLE IV MANAGEMENT

     Section 4.1. The Board of Managers.

     (a)  General.  Except as  specifically  set forth herein,  the business and
          affairs of the Company  shall be managed by or under the  direction of
          the Board of Managers. Other than rights and powers expressly reserved
          to  Members  by this  Agreement  or the  Delaware  Act,  the  Board of
          Managers shall have full,  exclusive and complete discretion to manage
          and  control the  business  and  affairs of the  Company,  to make all
          decisions  affecting  the  business  and affairs of the Company and to
          take  all  such  actions  as it  deems  necessary  or  appropriate  to
          accomplish the purposes of the Company as set forth herein.

     (b)  Duties.  The Board of Managers  shall be  obligated  to devote only as
          much of their time to the  Company's  business as shall be  reasonably
          required in light of the Company's business and objectives.  A Manager
          shall  perform his or her duties in good faith,  in a manner he or she
          reasonably  believes to be in the best  interests of the Company,  and
          with  such care as an  ordinarily  prudent  person in a like  position
          would use under similar circumstances.

     (c)  Board Composition;  Removal and Vacancies.  Cinergy Solutions shall be
          entitled  to  designate  one-half  of the  Managers  to the  Board  of
          Managers  and Trigen  Solutions  shall be  entitled to  designate  the
          remaining  half  of the  Managers  to the  Board  of  Managers.  Those
          Managers  designated to the Board of Managers by Cinergy Solutions are
          referred  to  herein as the  "Cinergy  Solutions  Managers"  and those
          Managers  designated to the Board of Managers by Trigen  Solutions are
          referred to herein as the "Trigen  Solutions  Managers".  Each Manager
          shall  serve  until  his  or  her  removal,   resignation,   death  or
          retirement.  Each Member shall vote all of its Interest and shall take
          all other action necessary or desirable within its control (including,
          without  limitation,  attendance at meetings in person or by proxy and
          execution  of  written  consents  in lieu of  meetings),  so that  the
          designees  of the  other  Member  are  duly  elected  to the  Board of
          Managers.  Upon the removal,  resignation,  death or  retirement  of a
          Manager,  or vacation of office by any Manager for any reason,  his or
          her  successor  shall be  nominated  and elected by the same Member as
          originally  proposed by the former  Manager.  Any successor so elected
          shall  retain  his or her office  during  such time only as the former
          Manager was entitled to retain the same.  Trigen  Solutions shall have
          the exclusive right to remove any Trigen Solutions Manager at any time
          and for any reason  whatsoever  and to fill the  vacancy of the Trigen
          Solutions  Managers,  and Cinergy  Solutions  shall have the exclusive
          right to remove any Cinergy  Solutions Manager at any time and for any
          reason  whatsoever  and to fill the vacancy of the  Cinergy  Solutions
          Managers.

     (d)  Restrictions on the Board. The Board of Managers shall not: (i) do any
          act in contravention of any applicable law or regulation, or provision
          of this  Agreement;  (ii)  possess  Company  property for other than a

writing,  setting  forth  the  action  so  taken,  shall be signed by all of the
Managers  in office.  Any such  written  consent  may be executed in two or more
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same document.

Chairperson  and another  member to serve as the Vice  Chairperson.  Neither the
Chairperson nor the Vice Chairperson shall have any additional or special voting

          business  decisions,  enter into all  commitments  and take such other

          as they deem appropriate.  Such officers shall perform their duties in
          a manner consistent with the Certificate and this Agreement,  and with
          directions  which  may be  given  from  time to time by the  Board  of
          Managers.

          determine in its sole discretion.

          and the  Board of  Managers  and  record  all the  proceedings  of the

          purpose and shall perform like duties for the standing committees when
          required.  The Secretary  shall give, or cause to be given,  notice of
          all  meetings  of the  Members  or the  Board of  Managers,  and shall
          perform  such  other  duties  as may be  prescribed  by the  Board  of
          Managers or the Chief Executive  Officer,  under whose supervision the
          Secretary shall be. The Assistant  Secretary,  if there be one, shall,
          in the  absence of the  Secretary  or in the event of the  Secretary's
          inability  to act,  perform the duties and  exercise the powers of the
          Secretary  and shall  perform  such  other  duties and have such other

          shall  have  such  title,  hold  office  for such  period,  have  such
          authority  and  perform  such  duties  as the  Board of  Managers  may

          powers set forth in this Agreement,  are agents of the Company for the
          purpose of the  Company's  business,  and the actions of the  officers
          taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.

     Section 4.11. Matters for Board Determination.

     Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,  the
Company shall not take any action with respect to matters identified on Schedule

provided,  however, that any such action by the Company or the Board of Managers
shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2 hereof.

                          ARTICLE V DEADLOCK RESOLUTION

     Section 5.1. Deadlocks.

     A "Deadlock" shall be a fundamental  breakdown in the relationship  between
the parties as evidenced by the sequence of events described below.

     (a)  A Member or a Manager  (the  "Proponent"),  advances a  proposal  (the
          "Proposal") for consideration at a meeting of the Board of Managers or
          Members of the Company; and

     (b)  Prior to the meeting at which the Proposal is advanced,  the Proponent
          notifies the Board of Managers  and/or  Members that it considers  the
          Proposal  to be  essential  to  the  continuance  of  the  Proponent's
          investment in the Company, specifying the reasons therefore; and

     (c)  The  Proposal is not approved at that meeting (as a result of either a
          rejection  thereof  or a failure  to  consider  it) or the  meeting is
          canceled  by  reason  of  a  lack  of  a  quorum  resulting  from  the
          non-attendance of the non-Proponent Member's designees,  at which time
          a Deadlock will be deemed to have occurred.

     Section 5.2. Resolution Mechanism.

     (a)  Upon the  occurrence  of a  Deadlock,  the  Proponent  may  cause  the
          Proposal  and the  Deadlock  to be  referred  to the  Chief  Executive
          Officers  of the  ultimate  U.S.  parent  company  of  each  of  their
          respective  affiliated  group of  companies  (i.e.,  Trigen  Solutions
          Energy  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation,  in the case of Trigen
          Solutions and Cinergy  Corp., a Delaware  corporation,  in the case of
          Cinergy  Solutions).  If such Chief  Executive  Officers are unable to
          resolve the Deadlock  within ten (10) business days  thereafter,  then
          (but  only  then)  the  provisions  of  Section  5.2(b)  shall  apply;
          provided,  however,  that the  provisions of Section  5.2(b) shall not
          apply until the first  anniversary  of the  formation  of the Company,
          unless a failure to act by the Company  would  result in a breach of a
          material  agreement  to which the  Company is a party or  violate  any
          applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

     (b)  (i)  Within  thirty  (30) days  after the  expiration  of the ten (10)
          business-day  period referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Proponent
          may offer to purchase  ("Purchase  Offer") all (but not less than all)
          of the Interests and any indebtedness of the Company (collectively the
          "Applicable   Interest")  owned  by  the  other  Member   ("Offeree"),
          specifying  (x) the  aggregate  price  to be paid  for the  Applicable
          Interest  (which  aggregate  price shall specify  separately the price
          placed by the Proponent on each component of the  Applicable  Interest
          and be payable  only in cash,  and other terms and  conditions  of the
          Purchase  Offer,  (y) a date  by  which  the  Purchase  Offer  must be
          accepted  (which may not be less than  thirty  (30) days nor more than
          sixty  (60)  days  after  the date the  Purchase  Offer is made)  (the
          "Acceptance Date") and (z) a proposed settlement date (the "Settlement
          Date")  therefor (which may not be less than thirty (30) days nor more
          than  sixty  (60)  days  after the  specified  Acceptance  Date).  The
          foregoing  notwithstanding,  the  Settlement  Date may be  extended by
          either  Member by  written  notice to the other  Member to the  extent
          reasonably  required  to  accommodate  (i) any  necessary  approval or
          non-objection  by  or  filing  with  any  governmental  or  regulatory
          authority   (each,  a  "Regulatory   Approval")   including,   without
          limitation,  under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the
          "1935  Act"),  or (ii) the  removal of any liens,  claims,  charges or
          encumbrances  attributable  to the selling  Member and existing on the
          Applicable  Interest (each, a "Lien"),  in either case being sought in
          good  faith  by  appropriate   proceedings   promptly   initiated  and
          diligently conducted by the Member requesting the extension.

          (ii) On or before the  Acceptance  Date, the Offeree may either accept
               the  Purchase  Offer or may by  written  notice to the  Proponent
               elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the  Proponent's
               Applicable  Interest  at the  price  and on the  other  terms and
               conditions  specified by the Proponent in the Purchase  Offer. If
               the Offeree  neither accepts the Purchase Offer nor elects by the
               Acceptance Date to purchase the Proponent's  Applicable Interest,
               the Offeree will be deemed to have accepted the Purchase Offer.

               Offeree's  Applicable  Interest  (as the  case  may be)  shall be
               delivered  against  payment of the said price. In order to comply
               with applicable  regulatory  requirements,  the purchasing Member

     (a)  There shall be  established  on the books and records of the Company a
          Capital  Account for each Member.  The initial Capital Account balance

Capital Account nor entitle it to any increase in its share of the distributions
of the Company. The amount of any such advance shall be a debt obligation of the
Company to such Member and shall be repaid to it by the Company at a  reasonable
interest  rate not to exceed a market  rate,  as soon as  practicable.  Any such
advance shall be payable and  collectible  only out of Company  assets,  and the

     (c)  If there is a charge in any  Member's  share of the  distributions  or
          other items of the  Company  during any Fiscal Year as a result of the
          Transfer  (as defined  herein) of an Interest,  allocations  among the
          Members  shall  be made in  accordance  with  their  Interests  in the
          Company from time to time during such Fiscal Year in  accordance  with
          Code  Section  706,  using the  closing-of-the-books  method;  however

the Company,  including the provisions of Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act, or
(ii) to the  extent  that  the  Board of  Managers  determines  that any  amount
otherwise  distributable  should  be  retained  by the  Company  to  pay,  or to
establish  a reserve  for the payment of, any  liability  or  obligation  of the
Company,  including  obligations  to pay or  withhold  Federal,  state  or local
income,  franchise  or other  taxes or levies,  whether  liquidated,  fixed,  or
contingent.

     The Company is authorized to withhold from  distributions  to a Member,  or
with respect to allocations to a Member, and to pay over to a Federal,  state or
local  government,  any amounts required to be withheld  pursuant to the Code or
any provisions of any other Federal, state or local law. Any amounts so withheld
shall be treated as having been  distributed  to such Member for all purposes of
this  Agreement,  and  shall be  offset  against  the  current  or next  amounts
otherwise distributable to such Member.

          omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Company
          and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by
          this Agreement,  provided that such act or omission is not in material
          violation of this Agreement and does not constitute  Disabling Conduct

          Member for any action taken by any other Member.

     (b)  Reliance  Generally.  A Covered  Person  shall incur no  liability  in
          acting upon any signature or writing  reasonably  believed by it to be
          genuine,  and may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer
          of any  Person in order to  ascertain  any fact with  respect  to such
          Person or within such Person's knowledge and may rely on an opinion of

          faith in  reasonable  reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons,
          except to the extent that such  Covered  Person  engaged in  Disabling
          Conduct.  No  Covered  Person  shall be liable to the  Company  or any
          Member for any error of judgment  made in good faith by a  responsible

          provided in this Section  10.2,  no Covered  Person shall be liable to
          the  Company or any Member for any  mistake of fact or judgment by the
          Covered  Person in conducting  the affairs of the Company or otherwise

          relating thereto to the Company or to the Members,  any Covered Person
          acting under this  Agreement  or otherwise  shall not be liable to the
          Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions
          of this  Agreement.  The provisions of this  Agreement,  to the extent
          that they  restrict  the duties and  liabilities  of a Covered  Person
          otherwise  existing at law or in equity,  are agreed by the Members to
          replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

     (d)  Standard of Care.  Whenever in this Agreement a Person is permitted or
          required to make a decision (i) in its "sole and absolute discretion,"
          "sole discretion,"  "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority
          or latitude,  the Person shall be entitled to consider such  interests
          and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have
          no duty or obligation to give any  consideration to any interest of or
          factors  affecting  the  Company or any other  Person,  or (ii) in its
          "good faith" or under another express  standard,  the Person shall act
          under such  express  standard and shall not be subject to any other or
          different standard imposed by this Agreement or other applicable law.

     Section 10.3. Indemnification.

     (a)  Indemnification  Generally.  The Company shall and hereby does, to the
          fullest extent permitted by applicable law,  indemnify,  hold harmless
          and release each Covered Person from and against all claims,  demands,
          liabilities,  costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and
          actions,   whether   juridical,   administrative,   investigative   or
          otherwise,  of  whatever  nature,  known  or  unknown,  liquidated  or
          unliquidated  ("Claims"),  that may  accrue to or be  incurred  by any
          Covered Person, or in which any Covered Person may become involved, as
          a party  or  otherwise,  or  with  which  any  Covered  Person  may be
          threatened, relating to or arising out of the business and affairs of,
          or activities undertaken in connection with, the Company, or otherwise
          relating  to or  arising  out of this  Agreement,  including,  but not
          limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction  of judgments,  in compromise
          or as fines or penalties  and counsel  fees and  expenses  incurred in
          connection  with the  preparation for or defense or disposition of any
          investigation,  action,  suit,  arbitration  or  other  proceeding  (a
          "Proceeding"),  whether  civil or  criminal  (all of such  Claims  and
          amounts  covered by this Section 10.3 and all expenses  referred to in
          Section 10.3(c),  are referred to as "Damages"),  except to the extent
          that it shall have been determined  ultimately that such Damages arose
          from  Disabling  Conduct of such  Covered  Person or that such Covered
          Person committed a material breach of this Agreement.  The termination
          of any  Proceeding  by  settlement  shall  not,  of  itself,  create a
          presumption  that any Damages relating to such settlement arose from a
          material  violation of this Agreement by, or Disabling Conduct of, any
          Covered Person.

     (b)  No Direct Member Indemnity.  Members shall not be required directly to
          indemnify any Covered Person.

     (c)  Expenses,  etc.  Expenses  incurred by a Covered  Person in defense or
          settlement   of  any  Claim   that  may  be  subject  to  a  right  of
          indemnification  hereunder may be advanced by the Company prior to the
          final  disposition  thereof  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on
          behalf  of the  Covered  Person  to repay  such  amount if it shall be
          determined  ultimately  that the Covered  Person is not entitled to be
          indemnified  hereunder.  The  right  of  any  Covered  Person  to  the
          indemnification  provided  herein  shall be  cumulative  with,  and in
          addition  to,  any and all  rights to which  such  Covered  Person may
          otherwise  be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and
          shall extend to such Covered  Person's  successors,  assigns and legal
          representatives.

     (d)  Notices of Claims,  etc. Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of
          notice of the  commencement  of any  Proceeding,  such Covered  Person
          shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made
          against  the  Company,  give  written  notice  to the  Company  of the
          commencement  of such  Proceeding,  provided  that the  failure of any
          Covered Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
          Company of its  obligations  under  this  Section  10.3  except to the
          extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to give
          notice.  In case any such  Proceeding  is  brought  against  a Covered
          Person  (other than a derivative  suit in right of the  Company),  the
          Company will be entitled to  participate  in and to assume the defense
          thereof  to the  extent  that the Board of  Managers  may  wish,  with
          counsel reasonably  satisfactory to such Covered Person.  After notice
          from the Board of Managers  to such  Covered  Person of the  Company's
          election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable
          for  expenses   subsequently   incurred  by  such  Covered  Person  in
          connection with the defense  thereof.  The Company will not consent to
          entry of any  judgment  or enter  into any  settlement  that  does not

          plaintiff  to such Covered  Person of a release from all  liability in
          respect to such Claim.

     (e)  No Waiver.  Nothing  contained in this Section 10.3 shall constitute a
          waiver by any Member of any right that it may have  against  any party
          under United States Federal or state securities laws.

     (f)  Authorization.  Any indemnification under Section 10.3, as well as the
          advance payment of expenses  permitted under Section  10.3(c),  unless
          ordered by a court, must be made by this Company only as authorized in
          the specific case upon a  determination  that  indemnification  of the
          Covered Person is proper under those circumstances.  The determination
          must be made:

               (1)  by  the  Board  of  Managers  by  a  majority  of  a  quorum
                    consisting  of  Managers  who were not parties to the act or
                    Proceeding;

               (2)  if a majority vote of a quorum  consisting of those Managers
                    who were not parties to the act or Proceeding so orders,  by
                    independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

               (3)  if a quorum  consisting  of Managers who were not parties to
                    the act or  Proceeding  cannot be obtained,  by  independent
                    legal counsel in a written opinion.

                        ARTICLE XI TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

     Section 11.1. Personal Property; Consent for Transfers.

     (a)  Restrictions on Transfer.  A Member shall not transfer,  sell, assign,
          convey,  exchange,  pledge,  encumber or otherwise dispose of (each, a
          "Transfer") any of its Interest unless:  (i) the other Member has been
          afforded a right of first offer in accordance  with the procedures set
          forth in paragraph  (b) of this Section  11.1;  (ii) the  contemplated
          Transfer  will not  adversely  affect  the  regulatory  status  of the
          Company  or  the  GM  Delta  Township  Project;  (iii)  all  requisite
          Regulatory Approvals have been duly obtained and are in full force and
          effect; (iv) the contemplated  Transfer will not result in adverse tax
          treatment for the Company,  the GM Delta Township Project or either of
          the Members;  and (v) the contemplated  Transfer is in compliance with
          the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2 hereof.

     (b)  Right of First Offer. In the event a Member desires to Transfer all or
          any part of its Interest,  such Members (the "Selling  Member")  shall
          first  deliver a written  notice (the  "Section  11.1  Notice") to the
          other Member (the  "Second  Member")  which  notice shall  specify the
          portion of the  Selling  Member's  Interest  to be sold (the  "Offered
          Interest").  Within  thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Section
          11.1  Notice,  the  Second  Member  shall  have the  right to offer to
          purchase  (the "First  Offer") all, but not less than all, the Offered
          Interest at a price payable only in cash (the "First Offer Price") and
          on such other terms and  conditions as shall be set forth in the First
          Offer.  Within  thirty (30) days after its receipt of the First Offer,
          the Selling  Members shall either accept or reject the First Offer. If
          the Selling Member  accepts the First Offer,  the Selling Member shall
          sell, and the Second Member shall purchase,  the Offered Interest at a
          closing  to be held at a time not later  than sixty (60) days (or such
          longer period,  if any, pending any necessary  Regulatory  Approval or
          removal of Liens) after the Selling  Member's  acceptance of the First
          Offer and at such  location as may be mutually  agreed upon,  at which
          time the Offered  Interest  shall be delivered,  free and clear of all
          Liens which may have been imposed on the Offered  Interest and are not
          connected  with the  financing  or  operation  of the Company  itself,
          against  payment of the First  Offer  Price.  In order to comply  with
          applicable   regulatory   requirements,   the  purchasing  Member  may
          designate  (i) a third  party to  purchase  any portion of the Offered
          Interest  which  the  purchasing  Member  has  committed  to  purchase
          hereunder  if the  Offered  Interest  constitutes  all of the  Selling
          Member's  equity and debt  interest  in the  Company,  or (ii) a third
          party  reasonably  acceptable  to the Selling  Member to purchase  any
          portion  of the  Offered  Interest  which the  purchasing  Member  has
          committed to purchase  hereunder if the Offered  Interest  constitutes
          less than all of the Selling  Member's equity and debt interest in the
          Company.  If the Selling  Member rejects or does not timely accept the
          First Offer, then the Selling Member shall have one hundred and twenty
          (120) days (or such  longer  period,  if any,  required  to obtain any
          necessary  Regulatory  Approval or to remove any Liens) following such
          rejection  within which to consummate the sale of the Offered Interest
          at a price per share in cash greater than the First Offer Price and in
          all other  respects upon terms and  conditions no less  favorable than
          those specified in the First Offer. If no such sale occurs within such
          120-day  period (or longer  period as  described  above),  the Offered
          Interest shall again be subject to all of the  restrictions  set forth
          in this Section 11.1(b).

     (c)  Proportionate  Sales  Rights.  If the Second  Member does not elect to
          purchase the Offered  Interest  pursuant to Section 11.1(b) above, the
          Second Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to
          the  prospective  purchaser  identified  in the  First  Offer the same
          proportion of the Second  Member's  Interest as the  proportion of the
          Selling Member's Interest proposed to be sold by the Selling Member at
          the same  price and  otherwise  on the same  terms and  conditions  on
          which,  and at the same time as, the Selling Member wishes to sell its
          Interest.  The  proportionate  sale right  specified  in this  Section
          11.1(c)  shall be  exercisable  by written  notice given by the Second
          Member to the Selling Member during the same thirty (30) day period in
          which the Second  Member may make the First Offer  contemplated  under
          Section 11.1(b). The Selling Member shall not sell any of its Interest
          to  the  prospective   purchaser  unless  such  purchaser  honors  its
          obligation to purchase a proportionate Interest from the Second Member
          as provided  herein.  Any purported  Transfer  inconsistent  with this
          Section 11.1(c) shall be null and void and of no effect.

     Section 11.2. Issue and Replacement of Certificates.

     Upon the request of any Member, an Interest  certificate shall be delivered
to such Member for the Interest held by it. Every certificate shall be signed by
one Cinergy Solutions Manager and one Trigen Solutions  Manager.  In the case of
loss, mutilation, or destruction of a share certificate a new certificate may be
issued upon such terms as the Board of Managers may prescribe.

     Section 11.3. Interest Certificate Legend.

     All certificates representing Interests shall bear the following legend (in
addition to any other legend required by applicable law):

     "These interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  or any state securities laws and may not be sold, offered for sale,
pledged,  assigned,  hypothecated  or otherwise  transferred in violation of any
applicable  securities  law.  These  interests  are  subject  to the  terms  and
conditions,  including restrictions on transfers, pledges or other dispositions,
of a Limited Liability Company Agreement,  dated as of October 20, 1999, each as
amended from time to time, copies of which are on file with the Secretary of the
Company."

     The Company shall dissolve upon and in accordance with the mutual agreement

     Upon  dissolution  of the  Company,  the Person or Persons  approved by the
Board of  Managers  shall  carry  out the  winding  up of the  Company  (in such
capacity,  the  "Liquidating  Trustee")  and  shall  proceed,   subject  to  the
provisions  herein,  to  liquidate  the Company  and apply the  proceeds of such
liquidation,  or in its sole  discretion to distribute  Company  assets,  in the
following order of priority:

          First,  to creditors in  satisfaction  of debts and liabilities of the
     Company,  whether  by payment or the  making of  reasonable  provision  for
     payment (other than any loans or advances that may have been made by any of
     the Members to the Company),  and the expenses of  liquidation,  whether by
     payment or the  making of  reasonable  provisions  for  payments,  any such
     reasonable  reserves  (which  may be funded by a  liquidating  trust) to be
     established  by the  Liquidating  Trustee,  as the case may be, in  amounts
     deemed by it to be  reasonably  necessary  for the payment of the Company's
     expenses, liabilities and other obligations (whether faxed or contingent);

          Second,  to the Members in  satisfaction of any loans or advances that
     may have been made by any of the Members to the Company  whether by payment
     or the making of reasonable provision for payment; and

          Third,  to the  Members in  proportion  to, and to the extent of, each
     Member's  Capital  Account,  as such  Capital  Account  has  been  adjusted
     pursuant to Article VI.

     Section 12.3. Time for Liquidation, etc.

     (a)  A reasonable  time period shall be allowed for the orderly  winding up
          and  liquidation  of the assets of the  Company and the  discharge  of
          liabilities to creditors as to enable the Liquidating  Trustee to seek
          to minimize potential losses upon such liquidation.  The provisions of
          this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period
          of winding up and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation of
          the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

     (b)  Upon  completion  of the  foregoing,  the  Liquidating  Trustee  shall
          execute,   acknowledge   and  cause  to  be  filed  a  certificate  of
          cancellation  of the Company with the  Secretary of State of the State
          of Delaware.

     Section 12.4. Claims of the Members.

     The  Members  and any former  Members  shall look  solely to the  Company's
assets for the return of their Capital  Contributions,  and if the assets of the
Company  remaining after payment of or due provisions of all debts,  liabilities
and  obligations  of  the  Company  are  insufficient  to  return  such  Capital
Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against any
Member, any Manager or their Affiliates.

          Section 704 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended  (the
          "Code"), so that the tax allocations provided in this Agreement shall,
          to the extent possible,  satisfy the "alternate  economic effect test"
          within the meaning of the Allocation Regulations.

     Section 5.2 Allocation of Profits and Losses. The profits and losses of the

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   Dissolution

or, if  additional  member(s) are  admitted,  the  member(s)  (acting by written

                              Tax Characterization

     Section 9.1 Tax  Treatment.  Until such time as the Company shall have more
than  one  member,  it is the  intention  of the  Member  that  the  Company  be
disregarded  for  federal  and all  relevant  state  tax  purposes  and that the
activities  of the  Company  be deemed to be  activities  of the Member for such
purposes. In the event that that the Company shall have more than one member, it
is the intention of the members that the Company be taxed as a  partnership  for
federal and all relevant  state tax  purposes.  All  provisions of the Company's
Certificate  of  Formation  and  this  Agreement  are to be  construed  so as to
preserve that tax status. The Company shall timely make all necessary  elections
and  filings for  federal,  state,  and local tax  purposes  to  accomplish  the
foregoing objective.

     Section  9.2 Form  K-1.  After  the end of each  Fiscal  Year for which the
Company  shall  have more  than one  member,  the  member(s)  shall  cause to be
prepared and  transmitted,  as promptly as possible,  and in any event within 90
days of the close of such  Fiscal  Year,  a federal  income tax Form K-1 and any
required similar state income tax form for each member.

     Section 9.3 Company Tax Returns. The Member, or if additional member(s) are
admitted,  the  member(s)  shall cause to be prepared  and timely  filed all tax
returns  required to be filed for the Company.  The Member or the  member(s) (as
the case may be) may, in their sole discretion,  make or refrain from making any
federal,  state or local income or other tax  elections  for the Company that it
deems  necessary or  advisable;  provided that if there is more than one member,
the prior written  consent of all the  member(s)  shall be required in order for
the Company to make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code.

                                    ARTICLE X

omission (in relation to the Company,  this Agreement,  any related  document or
any transaction or investment  contemplated  hereby or thereby) taken or omitted
in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable  belief that such act or
omission is in or is not  contrary to the best  interests  of the Company and is
within the scope of authority  granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement,
provided  that  such  act  or  omission  does  not  constitute  fraud,   willful
misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence.

Company shall  indemnify and hold harmless each Covered  Person from and against
any and all losses, claims, demands,  liabilities,  expenses,  judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions,
suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
the Covered Person may be involved,  or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise,  by reason of its  management  of the affairs of the Company or which
relates to or arises out of the Company or its property,  business or affairs. A
Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification  under this Section 10.2
with  respect  to any claim,  issue or matter in which it has  engaged in fraud,

     (a)  This Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with
          the  laws of the  State  of  Delaware  without  giving  effect  to the
          principles of conflict of laws thereof. In particular,  this Agreement
          shall be construed to the maximum  extent  possible to comply with all
          the terms and  conditions  of the Act. If,  nevertheless,  it shall be
          determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provisions or
          wording of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable  under the
          Act or other applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
          not  invalidate  the  entire  Agreement  and this  Agreement  shall be
          construed  so as to  limit  any  term  or  provision  so as to make it
          enforceable or valid within the  requirements  of applicable law, and,
          in the  event  such term or  provisions  cannot  be so  limited,  this
          Agreement  shall be construed  to omit such  invalid or  unenforceable
          terms or provisions. If it shall be determined by a court of competent
          jurisdiction  that any provisions  relating to the  distributions  and
          allocations  of the Company or to any expenses  payable by the Company
          are invalid or  unenforceable,  this  Agreement  shall be construed or
          interpreted so as (i) to make it enforceable or valid and (ii) to make
          the distributions  and allocations as closely  equivalent to those set
          forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable law.

     (b)  Each  party  hereto  (i)  irrevocably  submits  to  the  non-exclusive
          jurisdiction  of any Delaware  State court or Federal court sitting in
          Wilmington,  Delaware in any action  arising out of this Agreement and
          (ii) consents to the service of process by mail.  Nothing herein shall
          affect  the right of any party to serve  legal  process  in any manner
          permitted by law or affect his or its right to bring any action in any
          other court.

     Section  11.4  Filings.   Cecilia  Temple,   is  hereby  designated  as  an
"authorized  person" within the meaning of the Act, and has executed,  delivered

also  promptly  cause to be filed,  recorded and  published  such  statements of

other instruments  required by any provision of any applicable law of the United
States or any state or other  jurisdiction  which  governs  the  conduct  of its

Assistant  Secretary,  and any such officer may, in the name of and on behalf of
the Company, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote

interests,  or  partnership  interests and at any such meeting shall possess and
may  exercise  any and all rights and power  incident to the  ownership  of such

requiring  the vote of the members  shall  require  (including  for  purposes of

          accordance  with  the  tax  accounting  principles  prescribed  by the
          Treasury Regulations (the "Allocation  Regulations") promulgated under
          Section 704 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended  (the

          within the meaning of the Allocation Regulations.

     Section 5.2 Allocation of Profits and Losses. The profits and losses of the

                              Tax Characterization

     Section 9.1 Tax  Treatment.  Until such time as the Company shall have more
than  one  member,  it is the  intention  of the  Member  that  the  Company  be
disregarded  for  federal  and all  relevant  state  tax  purposes  and that the
activities  of the  Company  be deemed to be  activities  of the Member for such
purposes. In the event that that the Company shall have more than one member, it
is the intention of the members that the Company be taxed as a  partnership  for
federal and all relevant  state tax  purposes.  All  provisions of the Company's
Certificate  of  Formation  and  this  Agreement  are to be  construed  so as to
preserve that tax status. The Company shall timely make all necessary  elections
and  filings for  federal,  state,  and local tax  purposes  to  accomplish  the
foregoing objective.

     Section  9.2 Form  K-1.  After  the end of each  Fiscal  Year for which the
Company  shall  have more  than one  member,  the  member(s)  shall  cause to be
prepared and  transmitted,  as promptly as possible,  and in any event within 90
days of the close of such  Fiscal  Year,  a federal  income tax Form K-1 and any
required similar state income tax form for each member.

     Section 9.3 Company Tax Returns. The Member, or if additional member(s) are
admitted,  the  member(s)  shall cause to be prepared  and timely  filed all tax
returns  required to be filed for the Company.  The Member or the  member(s) (as
the case may be) may, in their sole discretion,  make or refrain from making any
federal,  state or local income or other tax  elections  for the Company that it
deems  necessary or  advisable;  provided that if there is more than one member,
the prior written  consent of all the  member(s)  shall be required in order for
the Company to make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code.

                                    ARTICLE X

Agreement,  whether  express  or  implied,  or  obligation  or duty at law or in
equity, neither any member, or any officers, directors, stockholders,  partners,
employees,  representatives or agents of any of the foregoing,  nor any officer,
employee,  representative,  manager  or  agent  of  the  Company  or  any of its
affiliates  (individually,  a "Covered  Person" and  collectively,  the "Covered
Persons")  shall be liable to the  Company  or any other  person  for any act or
omission (in relation to the Company,  this Agreement,  any related  document or
any transaction or investment  contemplated  hereby or thereby) taken or omitted
in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable  belief that such act or
omission is in or is not  contrary to the best  interests  of the Company and is
within the scope of authority  granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement,
provided  that  such  act  or  omission  does  not  constitute  fraud,   willful
misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence.

     Section 10.2  Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company shall  indemnify and hold harmless each Covered  Person from and against
any and all losses, claims, demands,  liabilities,  expenses,  judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions,
suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
the Covered Person may be involved,  or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise,  by reason of its  management  of the affairs of the Company or which
relates to or arises out of the Company or its property,  business or affairs. A
Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification  under this Section 10.2
with  respect  to any claim,  issue or matter in which it has  engaged in fraud,
willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

                                   ARTICLE XI

     Section 11.3 Governing Law; Severability.

     (a)  This Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with
          the  laws of the  State  of  Delaware  without  giving  effect  to the
          principles of conflict of laws thereof. In particular,  this Agreement
          shall be construed to the maximum  extent  possible to comply with all
          the terms and  conditions  of the Act. If,  nevertheless,  it shall be
          determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provisions or
          wording of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable  under the
          Act or other applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
          not  invalidate  the  entire  Agreement  and this  Agreement  shall be
          construed  so as to  limit  any  term  or  provision  so as to make it
          enforceable or valid within the  requirements  of applicable law, and,
          in the  event  such term or  provisions  cannot  be so  limited,  this
          Agreement  shall be construed  to omit such  invalid or  unenforceable
          terms or provisions. If it shall be determined by a court of competent
          jurisdiction  that any provisions  relating to the  distributions  and
          allocations  of the Company or to any expenses  payable by the Company
          are invalid or  unenforceable,  this  Agreement  shall be construed or
          interpreted so as (i) to make it enforceable or valid and (ii) to make
          the distributions  and allocations as closely  equivalent to those set
          forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable law.

     (b)  Each  party  hereto  (i)  irrevocably  submits  to  the  non-exclusive
          jurisdiction  of any Delaware  State court or Federal court sitting in
          Wilmington,  Delaware in any action  arising out of this Agreement and
          (ii) consents to the service of process by mail.  Nothing herein shall
          affect  the right of any party to serve  legal  process  in any manner
          permitted by law or affect his or its right to bring any action in any
          other court.

     Section  11.4  Filings.   Cecilia  Temple,   is  hereby  designated  as  an
"authorized  person" within the meaning of the Act, and has executed,  delivered
and filed the  Certificate  of Formation  of the Company  with the  Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware.  Upon the filing of the Certificate of Formation
with  the  Secretary  of  State  of the  State of  Delaware,  her  powers  as an
"authorized  person"  ceased,  and the Member  thereupon  became the  designated
"authorized  person" and shall  continue as the designated  "authorized  person"
within the  meaning of the Act.  The Member  shall,  as an  "Authorized  Person"
within the  meaning of the Act,  prepare or cause to be prepared  any  documents
required to be filed and recorded  under the Act, and the Member shall  promptly
cause each such document  required to be filed and recorded in  accordance  with
the Act and, to the extent  required  by local law, to be filed and  recorded or
notice thereof to be published in the appropriate  place in each jurisdiction in
which the Company may hereafter establish a place of business.  The Member shall
also  promptly  cause to be filed,  recorded and  published  such  statements of
fictitious  business  name and any other  notices,  certificates,  statements or
other instruments  required by any provision of any applicable law of the United
States or any state or other  jurisdiction  which  governs  the  conduct  of its
business from time to time.

proxies,  waivers of notice of meeting,  consents and other instruments relating
to  securities,  membership  interests  or  partnership  interests  owned by the
Company may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the Company by the Chief
Executive  Officer,  the President,  any Vice President,  the Secretary,  or any
Assistant  Secretary,  and any such officer may, in the name of and on behalf of
the Company, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote
in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders, members or partners of
any  business  entity  in  which  the  Company  may own  securities,  membership
interests,  or  partnership  interests and at any such meeting shall possess and
may  exercise  any and all rights and power  incident to the  ownership  of such
securities,  membership  interests or  partnership  interests and which,  as the
owner thereof,  the Company might have  exercised and possessed if present.  The
member(s)  may,  by  resolution,  from time to time  confer like powers upon any

          profits shall be credited and against which  distributions  and losses
          shall  be  charged.  Such  capital  accounts  shall be  maintained  in
          accordance  with  the  tax  accounting  principles  prescribed  by the
          Treasury Regulations (the "Allocation  Regulations") promulgated under
          Section 704 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended  (the
          "Code"), so that the tax allocations provided in this Agreement shall,
          to the extent possible,  satisfy the "alternate  economic effect test"
          within the meaning of the Allocation Regulations.

     Section 5.2 Allocation of Profits and Losses. The profits and losses of the
Company shall be allocated  entirely to the Member or, if  additional  member(s)

     Section 9.1 Tax  Treatment.  Until such time as the Company shall have more
than  one  member,  it is the  intention  of the  Member  that  the  Company  be
disregarded  for  federal  and all  relevant  state  tax  purposes  and that the
activities  of the  Company  be deemed to be  activities  of the Member for such
purposes. In the event that that the Company shall have more than one member, it
is the intention of the members that the Company be taxed as a  partnership  for
federal and all relevant  state tax  purposes.  All  provisions of the Company's
Certificate  of  Formation  and  this  Agreement  are to be  construed  so as to
preserve that tax status. The Company shall timely make all necessary  elections
and  filings for  federal,  state,  and local tax  purposes  to  accomplish  the
foregoing objective.

     Section  9.2 Form  K-1.  After  the end of each  Fiscal  Year for which the
Company  shall  have more  than one  member,  the  member(s)  shall  cause to be
prepared and  transmitted,  as promptly as possible,  and in any event within 90
days of the close of such  Fiscal  Year,  a federal  income tax Form K-1 and any
required similar state income tax form for each member.

     Section 9.3 Company Tax Returns. The Member, or if additional member(s) are
admitted,  the  member(s)  shall cause to be prepared  and timely  filed all tax
returns  required to be filed for the Company.  The Member or the  member(s) (as
the case may be) may, in their sole discretion,  make or refrain from making any
federal,  state or local income or other tax  elections  for the Company that it
deems  necessary or  advisable;  provided that if there is more than one member,
the prior written  consent of all the  member(s)  shall be required in order for
the Company to make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code.

                                    ARTICLE X

of the foregoing, nor any officer, employee, representative, manager or agent of
the  Company or any of its  affiliates  (individually,  a "Covered  Person"  and
collectively, the "Covered Persons") shall be liable to the Company or any other
person for any act or omission (in relation to the Company, this Agreement,  any
related  document  or any  transaction  or  investment  contemplated  hereby  or
thereby)  taken  or  omitted  in  good  faith  by a  Covered  Person  and in the
reasonable belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best
interests  of the Company and is within the scope of  authority  granted to such
Covered  Person by this  Agreement,  provided that such act or omission does not
constitute fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence.

     Section 10.2  Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company shall  indemnify and hold harmless each Covered  Person from and against
any and all losses, claims, demands,  liabilities,  expenses,  judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions,
suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
the Covered Person may be involved,  or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise,  by reason of its  management  of the affairs of the Company or which
relates to or arises out of the Company or its property,  business or affairs. A
Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification  under this Section 10.2
with  respect  to any claim,  issue or matter in which it has  engaged in fraud,
willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

                                   ARTICLE XI

     Section 11.3 Governing Law; Severability.

     (a)  This Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with
          the  laws of the  State  of  Delaware  without  giving  effect  to the
          principles of conflict of laws thereof. In particular,  this Agreement
          shall be construed to the maximum  extent  possible to comply with all
          the terms and  conditions  of the Act. If,  nevertheless,  it shall be
          determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provisions or
          wording of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable  under the
          Act or other applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
          not  invalidate  the  entire  Agreement  and this  Agreement  shall be
          construed  so as to  limit  any  term  or  provision  so as to make it
          enforceable or valid within the  requirements  of applicable law, and,
          in the  event  such term or  provisions  cannot  be so  limited,  this
          Agreement  shall be construed  to omit such  invalid or  unenforceable
          terms or provisions. If it shall be determined by a court of competent
          jurisdiction  that any provisions  relating to the  distributions  and
          allocations  of the Company or to any expenses  payable by the Company
          are invalid or  unenforceable,  this  Agreement  shall be construed or
          interpreted so as (i) to make it enforceable or valid and (ii) to make
          the distributions  and allocations as closely  equivalent to those set
          forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable law.

     (b)  Each  party  hereto  (i)  irrevocably  submits  to  the  non-exclusive
          jurisdiction  of any Delaware  State court or Federal court sitting in
          Wilmington,  Delaware in any action  arising out of this Agreement and
          (ii) consents to the service of process by mail.  Nothing herein shall
          affect  the right of any party to serve  legal  process  in any manner
          permitted by law or affect his or its right to bring any action in any
          other court.

     Section  11.4  Filings.   Cecilia  Temple,   is  hereby  designated  as  an
"authorized  person" within the meaning of the Act, and has executed,  delivered
and filed the  Certificate  of Formation  of the Company  with the  Secretary of

with  the  Secretary  of  State  of the  State of  Delaware,  her  powers  as an

notice thereof to be published in the appropriate  place in each jurisdiction in
which the Company may hereafter establish a place of business.  The Member shall
also  promptly  cause to be filed,  recorded and  published  such  statements of
fictitious  business  name and any other  notices,  certificates,  statements or
other instruments  required by any provision of any applicable law of the United
States or any state or other  jurisdiction  which  governs  the  conduct  of its
business from time to time.

Company may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the Company by the Chief
Executive  Officer,  the President,  any Vice President,  the Secretary,  or any
Assistant  Secretary,  and any such officer may, in the name of and on behalf of
the Company, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote
in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders, members or partners of
any  business  entity  in  which  the  Company  may own  securities,  membership
interests,  or  partnership  interests and at any such meeting shall possess and
may  exercise  any and all rights and power  incident to the  ownership  of such
securities,  membership  interests or  partnership  interests and which,  as the
owner thereof,  the Company might have  exercised and possessed if present.  The
member(s)  may,  by  resolution,  from time to time  confer like powers upon any

without limitation,  a limited partnership) or joint venture, and that no Member
shall be a partner or joint venturer of any other Member, for any purposes other
than United States  Federal and, if  applicable,  state tax  purposes,  and this
Agreement  shall not be construed to the  contrary.  Each Member at any time and
from time to time may engage in and own interests in other business  ventures of
any and every type and description, independently or with others (including ones
in competition with the Company),  with no obligation to offer to the Company or
any other Member the right to participate therein.

          affairs of the Company  shall be managed by or under the  direction of
          the Board of Managers. Other than rights and powers expressly reserved
          to  Members  by this  Agreement  or the  Delaware  Act,  and except as
          otherwise  specifically set forth herein,  the Board of Managers shall
          have full, exclusive and complete discretion to manage and control the
          business and affairs of the Company,  to make all decisions  affecting

          shall  perform his or her duties in good faith,  in a manner he or she
          reasonably  believes to be in the best  interests of the Company,  and

          Managers  designated  to the Board of  Managers  by  Veolia  Water are

          serve until his or her removal, resignation, death or retirement. Each
          Member  shall vote all of its Interest and shall take all other action

          limitation, attendance at meetings in person or by proxy and execution
          of written consents in lieu of meetings), so that the designees of the
          other  Members  are duly  elected to the Board of  Managers.  Upon the
          removal, resignation, death or retirement of a Manager, or vacation of
          office by any Manager for any reason,  his or her  successor  shall be
          nominated and elected by the same Member as originally  designated the
          former  Manager.  Any  successor  so elected  shall  retain his or her

          vacancy  of  the  York  Manager.  Cinergy  Solutions  shall  have  the
          exclusive  right to remove any Cinergy  Solutions  Manager at any time

          Solutions  Managers.  Veolia Water shall have the  exclusive  right to
          remove  any  Veolia  Water  Manager  at any  time  and for any  reason

     (d)  Restrictions on the Board. The Board of Managers shall not: (i) do any
          act in contravention of any applicable law or regulation, or provision
          of this  Agreement;  (ii)  possess  Company  property for other than a

     Section 5.1. Agreement to Resolve Disputes.

     Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions
of this Article V shall apply to all disputes,  controversies or claims that may
arise out of, or under this Agreement (a "Dispute"). The Members acknowledge and
agree that any failure, due to the objection of one Member or one or more of the
Managers, to obtain approval of any action may be considered a Dispute hereunder
by either or both of the other two Members.

     Section 5.2. Negotiated Resolution.

     The Members shall act in good faith and use  reasonable  efforts to resolve
expeditiously  any  Dispute  that  may  arise  from  time to time on a  mutually

to the following procedure:

     (a)  At the request of any Member from time to time in a written  notice to
          the other Members,  the Members shall convene a committee comprised of
          one or  more  executive  officers  designated  by  each  Member.  Such
          officers  will meet within ten (10)  Business  Days of such notice and
          attempt  in good  faith to  resolve  the  Dispute.  If the  Dispute is
          between the Company and one Member, the other two Members will jointly
          represent the Company.

     (b)  If the committee is unable to resolve the Dispute  within fifteen (15)
          Business  Days of its  initial  meeting,  then any  Member,  by giving
          notice to the other Members,  may request that the Dispute be referred
          for resolution to the Chief Executive  Officers of Cinergy Corp., York
          and United States Filter  Corporation.  The Chief  Executive  Officers
          shall meet within  fifteen (15)  Business  Days  thereafter  and shall
          attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute.  The parties  agree that
          these dispute  resolution  procedures will toll the applicable statute
          of limitations  during the time period consumed in complying with this
          Section 5.2.

     Section 5.3. Arbitration.

     (a)  In the event the Chief Executive  Officers shall not have resolved any
          Dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days after their initial  meeting
          pursuant  to Section 5.2 above,  any Member may make a written  demand
          that the Dispute be resolved by binding  arbitration (an  "Arbitration
          Demand") in accordance with the Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration
          of Business  Disputes of the Center for Public Resources  ("CPR") then
          in  effect.  In such  event,  the  Dispute  will be  decided by a sole
          arbitrator in accordance with rules set forth in this Section 5.3.

     (b)  Within thirty (30) Business Days after an Arbitration Demand is given,
          the Members shall attempt to select a sole arbitrator  satisfactory to
          such Members. In the event that the Members do not, within such thirty
          (30) day period,  agree on the selection of the sole  arbitrator,  any
          Member may apply to CPR to select the sole  arbitrator.  Selection  of
          such sole arbitrator  shall be made by the CPR within thirty (30) days
          after such application.  Any arbitrator  selected by the Members or by
          CPR shall be disinterested  with respect to any of the parties and the
          matter  and  shall be  reasonably  competent  and  experienced  in the
          applicable subject matter.

     (c)  The sole  arbitrator  selected  pursuant to Section  5.3(b) will set a
          time for the hearing of the Dispute  which will commence no later than
          ninety (90) days after the date of the  appointment  and which hearing
          will be no longer than thirty (30) days (unless in the judgment of the
          arbitrator  the matter is  unusually  complex  and  sophisticated  and
          thereby  requires a longer time,  in which event such hearing shall be
          no  longer  than  ninety  (90)  days).  The  place of any  arbitration
          hereunder will be Chicago,  Illinois,  unless  otherwise agreed by the
          parties.

     (d)  The final award of such  arbitrator will be rendered in writing to the
          parties not later than ninety (90) days after the last  hearing  date,
          unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. The decision of the
          arbitrator  will be final and  binding on the  parties,  and  judgment
          thereon  may be had  and  will  be  enforceable  in any  court  having
          jurisdiction over the parties.  Arbitration  awards will bear interest
          at the  Prime  Rate  from  thirty  (30)  days  after  the  date of the
          arbitration  award.  As used in the foregoing  sentence,  "Prime Rate"
          shall mean the prime rate as published in the "Money Rate"  section of
          the Wall Street Journal from time to time.

     (e)  Any party  involved in the  applicable  Dispute  may request  document
          production  from the  other  party  or  parties,  with the  reasonable
          expenses of the producing  party incurred in such  production  paid by
          the requesting party.  Depositions,  interrogatories or other forms of
          discovery shall occur in accordance with the procedures established by
          the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Disputes concerning the scope of
          discovery and enforcement of the discovery requests will be determined
          by written agreement of the parties involved in the applicable dispute
          or,  failing such  agreement,  will be referred to the  arbitrator for
          resolution.  The  arbitrator  will adopt  procedures  to  protect  any
          proprietary  rights of the parties and to  maintain  the  confidential
          treatment of the arbitration proceedings (except as may be required by
          law). The arbitrator shall have the power to issue subpoenas to compel
          the production of documents relevant to the Dispute.

     (f)  The arbitrator shall have full power and authority to determine issues
          of  arbitrability  but shall  otherwise be limited to  interpreting or
          construing the  applicable  provisions of this Agreement and will have
          no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify,  revoke,
          terminate or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement;  it
          being  understood,   however,  that  the  arbitrator  will  have  full
          authority to implement the provisions of this Agreement and to fashion
          appropriate  remedies  for  breaches  of  such  provisions  (including
          specific  performance  or interim  or  permanent  injunctive  relief),
          provided  that the  arbitrator  shall  not have (i) any  authority  in
          excess of the authority a court having  jurisdiction  over the parties
          and the Dispute would have absent these arbitration provisions or (ii)
          any  right or power to award  punitive  or treble  damages.  It is the
          intention of the parties  that in rendering a decision the  arbitrator
          give effect to the applicable  provisions of this Agreement and follow
          applicable  law (it being  understood  and agreed  that this  sentence
          shall not give rise to a right of judicial review of the  arbitrator's
          award).

     (g)  Arbitration  costs will be borne equally by each party involved in the
          matter,  except  that  each  party  will  be  responsible  for its own
          attorney's  fees and other costs and expenses,  including the costs of
          witnesses selected by such party.

     (h)  The  interpretation of the provisions of this Section 5.3 only insofar
          as they  relate  to the  agreement  to  arbitrate  and any  procedures
          pursuant thereto,  shall be governed by the United States  Arbitration
          Act, 9 U.S.C.ss.ss.1-14, as amended from time to time.

     (i)  To the extent that the provisions of this Agreement and the prevailing
          rules of the CPR  conflict,  the  provisions of this  Agreement  shall
          control.

     (j)  The parties reserve the right to modify the provisions of this Section
          5.3 by mutual written agreement.

     Section 5.4. Limited Court Actions.

     (a)  Notwithstanding  anything  herein to the contrary,  a party shall have
          the  right  to  initiate   litigation  to  (i)  toll  any  statute  of
          limitations,  or (ii) seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedy
          if, in such party's sole  discretion,  such action is deemed necessary
          to  avoid   irreparable   damage  or  preserve  the  status  quo.  The
          institution of any litigation in accordance with this Section 5.4 does
          not excuse the party's  obligation to participate in good faith in the
          other Dispute procedures in this Article V.

     (b)  ANY LITIGATION  PERMITTED  HEREUNDER SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF
          THE  UNITED  STATES OF  AMERICA  FOR THE STATE OF  DELAWARE,  AND EACH
          MEMBER AND THE  COMPANY  HEREBY  ACCEPTS  FOR  ITSELF,  GENERALLY  AND
          UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE AFORESAID
          COURTS.  EACH  MEMBER AND THE  COMPANY  HEREBY  IRREVOCABLY  WAIVE ANY
          OBJECTION,  INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,  ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING
          OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH  LITIGATION,  BASED ON THE  GROUNDS  OF FORUM NON
          CONVENIENS,  WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY
          ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION. EACH MEMBER AND THE COMPANY
          HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF
          ANY LITIGATION  PERMITTED  HEREUNDER.  EACH MEMBER WAIVES ALL PUNITIVE
          DAMAGES IN ANY DISPUTE,  CONTROVERSY  OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR UNDER
          THIS AGREEMENT.

                                   ARTICLE VI
      SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS, CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, MATERIAL APPROVALS, ETC.

     Section 6.1. Initial Operations; Service Arrangements.

     The  Members  intend to operate  the  Company  with  appropriate  staff and
committed overhead and for the Company to purchase operational and other support
services,   technical   assistance  and  intellectual   property  rights,  where
available, from the Members and/or their respective Affiliates or third parties,
in each case pursuant to terms  approved by the Members  pursuant to Section 3.3
or the Board of Managers  pursuant to Section  4.4 or 4.5 above,  as  applicable
("Service  Arrangements");  provided  that a Member or Manager shall be excluded
from any vote  relating to the  approval,  enforcement  or  administration  of a
Service  Arrangement  where (i) that Member or its Affiliates is or may become a
party to such  Service  Arrangement  or (ii) that  Manager was  appointed to the
Board of Managers by a party that is or may become, or whose Affiliate is or may
become,  a party to such  Service  Arrangement.  Each  Member and any  Affiliate
thereof  which  provides  services  to  the  Company  pursuant  to  any  Service
Arrangements  shall do so on an arm's  length basis and shall permit the Company
reasonable  access  to its  accounts  and  records  pertaining  to such  Service
Arrangements, including the basis and computation of cost allocations.

     Section 6.2. Budget; Capitalization; Material Approvals.

     (a)  A complete copy of the Company's first and,  thereafter,  every annual
          budget shall be provided to each Member.

     (b)  Cinergy Solutions,  York and Veolia Water each commit to contribute to
          the  Company as their  initial  respective  Capital  Contribution  the
          amounts  set forth  opposite  the name of such  Member on  Schedule 1.
          Cinergy  Solutions,  York and Veolia Water agree to  contribute to the
          Company  46%, 10% and 44%  respectively,  of such  additional  Capital
          Contributions  as  may  be  approved  by  the  Board  of  Managers  in
          accordance  with Section 4.10 as may be required for the Purpose.  All
          capital contributions, when made, shall be in cash, unless the Members
          shall otherwise  mutually  agree.  The Members shall be liable only to
          make their Capital  Contributions  pursuant to this Section 6.2 and no
          Members  shall be required to lend any funds to the Company or to make
          any additional Capital Contributions to the Company.

     (c)  The  capitalization  of the Company shall be subject to the receipt by
          the  Members  of all  requisite  regulatory  approvals  and all  other
          consents,  licenses,  approvals or other authorizations (together with
          such regulatory  approvals,  "Material Approvals") necessary to permit
          the establishment and operation of the Company as contemplated herein,
          including, to the extent applicable,  (i) expiration or termination of
          the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust Improvements
          Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Act"), if applicable,  (ii) the approval
          of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") under the Public
          Utility  Holding  Company Act of 1935 (the "1935 Act"), if applicable,
          and (iii) any  Material  Approval  of  Michigan  or any  municipality,
          utility commission, regulatory body or governmental or other agency or
          authority thereof.

     (d)  With reference to paragraph (c) above,  Cinergy  Solutions  represents
          and  warrants  that no approval  or other  action of the SEC under the
          1935 Act is required to be obtained by Cinergy Solutions,  the Company
          or any  other  direct or  indirect  subsidiary  of  Cinergy  Corp.  in
          connection  with the  formation  of the Company  and the  transactions
          contemplated by this Agreement or the other agreements relating to the
          System.  With  reference to paragraph (c) above,  York  represents and
          warrants  that no approval  or other  action of the SEC under the 1935
          Act is required to be obtained by it, the Company or any other  direct
          or indirect subsidiary of York in connection with the formation of the
          Company and the  transactions  contemplated  by this Agreement and the
          other agreements relating to the System.

     Section 6.3. Status of Capital Contributions.

     (a)  Except as  otherwise  expressly  provided in  Articles  VII and XI, no
          Member shall have the right to withdraw capital from the Company or to
          receive  any   distribution   or  return  of  such  Member's   Capital
          Contributions.

     (b)  No Member shall receive any  interest,  salary or drawing with respect
          to its Capital  Contributions  or its Capital  Account or otherwise in
          its capacity as a Member, except as otherwise specifically provided in
          this Agreement.

     (c)  No Member shall have  priority  over any other Member either as to the
          return of the amount of its Capital  Contribution to the Company or as
          to any allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss.

     Section 6.4. Capital Accounts.

     (a)  There shall be  established  on the books and records of the Company a
          Capital  Account for each Member.  The initial Capital Account balance
          of each Member shall be the  respective  amounts of each such Member's
          initial Capital Contribution as set forth on Schedule 1.

     (b)  Each Member's Capital Account shall be adjusted by (a) increasing such
          balance by such Member's (i) allocable shares of Net Profit (allocated
          in  accordance  with Article VII) and (ii) Capital  Contributions,  if
          any, and (b) decreasing  such balance by (i) the amount of cash or the
          fair market value of  distributions to such Member pursuant to Article
          VII and (ii) such Member's  allocable  share of Net Loss (allocated in
          accordance  with  Article  VII).  The  provisions  of  this  Agreement
          relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply
          with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b),  and shall be interpreted
          and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulation.

     (c)  Any  Capital  Contributions  made in a form  other  than cash shall be
          valued at the fair market value of such  property as determined by the
          unanimous consent of the Members.

     Section 6.5. Advances.

     If any Member, at its reasonable  discretion upon reasonable advance notice
to the other  Members,  with the prior consent of the Board of Managers and only
to the extent necessary to meet short-term working capital  requirements,  shall
advance  any funds to the Company in excess of its  Capital  Contributions,  the
amount of such advance shall neither increase its Capital Account nor entitle it
to any increase in its share of the distributions of the Company.  The amount of
any such advance  shall be a debt  obligation  of the Company to such Member and
shall be repaid to it by the Company at a reasonable interest rate not to exceed
a market  rate,  as soon as  practicable;  provided,  however,  that  such  debt
obligations at all times shall be subordinate to the Company's obligations under
the Loan Agreement.  Any such advance shall be payable and collectible  only out
of Company  assets,  and the other Members shall not be personally  obligated to
repay any part  thereof.  No Person who makes any loan to the Company shall have
or acquire,  as a result of making such loan, any direct or indirect interest in
the profits, capital or property of the Company, other than as a creditor.

     Section 6.6. Negative Capital Accounts.

     No Member  shall be required  to make up a negative  balance in its Capital
Account.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                   ALLOCATIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHHOLDING

     Section 7.1. Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss.

     (a)  The Net Profit  and Net Loss of the  Company,  including  each item of
          income,  gain, loss and deduction,  and credit shall be allocated with
          respect to each Fiscal Year (or portion  thereof) among the Members in
          accordance with their respective Interest Percentages.

     (b)  Allocations  for tax purposes  shall be made in the same manner as the
          allocations  set forth under  Section  7.1(a);  however the  following
          adjustments shall be made and applied,  to the extent necessary,  in a
          manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b):

          (i)  The allocations of income,  gain, loss and deduction  pursuant to
               Section  7.1(a)  shall be adjusted  to comply with the  qualified
               income  offset   requirements  of  Treasury   Regulation  Section
               1.704-1(b)  and  the   nonrecourse   deduction  or  minimum  gain
               charge-back requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.

          (ii) The Net Losses  allocated  pursuant to Section  7.1(a)  shall not
               exceed the maximum  amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated
               without  causing any Member to have an Adjusted  Capital  Account
               Deficit  at the end of any  fiscal  period.  If some  but not all
               Members  would  have  Adjusted  Capital  Account  Deficits  as  a
               consequence  of an  allocation  of Net  Losses  pursuant  to this
               Section 7.1(b)(ii), then the limitation set forth in this Section
               7.1(b)(ii) shall be applied on a Member-by-Member  basis so as to
               allocate the maximum  permissible Net Losses to each Member under
               Treasury Regulations Section  1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).  With respect
               to each allocation period thereafter, 100% of Net Profit shall be
               allocated  to  the  Members  up  to  the  aggregate  of,  and  in
               proportion to, any Net Losses previously allocated to each Member
               in accordance  with this Section  7.1(b)(ii) in the reverse order
               in which such Net Losses were allocated.

          (iii)Any special  allocations  pursuant to the  preceding  clause (ii)
               required in order to comply with the Treasury  Regulations  shall
               be taken into  account,  to the extent  permitted by the Treasury
               Regulations, in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this
               Section  7.1(b) so that the net amount of any items so  allocated
               and all other items allocated to each Member shall, to the extent
               possible,  be equal to the amount that would have been  allocated
               to each Member had there been no such special allocation.

     (c)  If there is a change in any  Member's  share of the  distributions  or
          other items of the  Company  during any Fiscal Year as a result of the
          Transfer  (as defined  herein) of an Interest,  allocations  among the
          Members  shall  be made in  accordance  with  their  Interests  in the
          Company from time to time during such Fiscal Year in  accordance  with
          Code  Section  706,  using the  closing-of-the-books  method;  however
          depreciation  shall be deemed to accrue  ratably on a daily basis over
          the entire year during which the  corresponding  asset is owned by the
          Company.

     (d)  If the Internal Revenue Service  successfully asserts an adjustment to
          the taxable income of a Member  attributable to a transaction  between
          the Member and the Company  and, as a result of such  adjustment,  the
          Company is entitled to a deduction  or reduction in income for Federal
          income tax purposes in excess of any gain  recognized  by the Company,
          such  excess  deduction  shall be  allocated  to such  Member  or such
          reduced  income shall be reflected in a reduction in income  allocated
          to such Member. If the Internal Revenue Service  successfully  asserts
          an adjustment to the taxable income of the Company  attributable  to a
          transaction  between  the Member and the  Company  and, as a result of
          such adjustment, any Member is entitled to a deduction or reduction in
          income  for  Federal  income  tax  purposes  in  excess  of  any  gain
          recognized by such Member, the additional Company taxable income shall
          be allocated to such Member.

     Section 7.2. Distributions.

     Distributions  may be made to the Members in accordance with their Interest
Percentages  at such times as determined in the sole  discretion of the Board of
Managers,  or at such other  times as the  Members by  unanimous  consent  shall
determine. To the extent that funds are available for distribution,  the Company
shall  make  quarterly  and  annual  distributions  to the  Members in an amount
necessary to reimburse each Member for the federal and state income tax incurred
by such Member as a result of the  Company's  operations  and the Company  being
treated as a partnership for tax purposes.

     Section 7.3. Limitations on Distribution.

     Notwithstanding  any  provisions  of this Article VII to the  contrary,  no
distribution  shall be made (i) if such distribution  would violate any contract
or agreement to which the Company is then a party or any law then  applicable to
the Company,  including the provisions of Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act, or
(ii) to the  extent  that  the  Board of  Managers  determines  that any  amount
otherwise  distributable  should  be  retained  by the  Company  to  pay,  or to
establish  a reserve  for the payment of, any  liability  or  obligation  of the
Company,  including  obligations  to pay or  withhold  Federal,  state  or local
income,  franchise  or other  taxes or levies,  whether  liquidated,  fixed,  or
contingent.

     Section 7.4. Withholding Taxes.

     The Company is authorized to withhold from  distributions  to a Member,  or
with respect to allocations to a Member, and to pay over to a Federal,  state or
local  government,  any amounts required to be withheld  pursuant to the Code or
any provisions of any other Federal, state or local law. Any amounts so withheld
shall be treated as having been  distributed  to such Member for all purposes of
this  Agreement,  and  shall be  offset  against  the  current  or next  amounts
otherwise distributable to such Member.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                   TAX MATTERS

     Section 8.1. Tax Matters.

     Cinergy  Solutions is hereby  designated  as "Tax  Matters  Partner" of the
Company under Section 6231 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations  thereunder.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing  designation,  the Tax Matters  Partner shall not
take any action in its capacity as Tax Matters  Partner in  connection  with any
tax audit, contest or other similar proceeding involving the Company without the
consent or approval of the other Members. The Tax Matters Partner shall keep the
other  Members  fully  apprised  of its  activities  in its  capacity as the Tax
Matters Partner.

     Section 8.2. Taxation as Partnership.

     The Members  intend that the Company shall be treated as a partnership  for
United States  Federal income tax purposes and the Members agree not to take any
action  inconsistent  with the Company's  classification  as a  partnership  for
United States Federal income tax purposes.

                                    ARTICLE X
                   LIABILITY, EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 10.1. Liability.

     Except as otherwise  provided by the Delaware  Act, the debts,  obligations
and liabilities of the Company,  whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise,
shall be solely the debts,  obligations  and  liabilities  of the  Company,  and
without  limiting this Article X, no Member or Covered Person shall be obligated
personally  for any such debt,  obligation or liability of the Company solely by
reason of being a Member or Covered Person.

     Section 10.2. Exculpation.

     (a)  Generally.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Covered
          Person  shall be liable to the  Company  or any  Member for any act or
          omission taken or suffered by such Covered Person in good faith and in
          the  reasonable  belief  that  such  act or  omission  is in or is not
          contrary to the best  interests of the Company and is within the scope
          of  authority  granted  to such  Covered  Person  by  this  Agreement,
          provided  that such act or omission is not in  material  violation  of
          this  Agreement  and  does not  constitute  Disabling  Conduct  by the
          Covered Person. No Member shall be liable to the Company or any Member
          for any action taken by any other Member.

     (b)  Reliance  Generally.  A Covered  Person  shall incur no  liability  in
          acting upon any signature or writing  reasonably  believed by it to be
          genuine,  and may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer
          of any  Person in order to  ascertain  any fact with  respect  to such
          Person or within such Person's knowledge and may rely on an opinion of
          counsel selected by such Covered Person with respect to legal matters,
          except to the extent that such  Covered  Person  engaged in  Disabling
          Conduct. Each Member or Covered Person may act directly or through its
          agents or  attorneys.  Each Member or Covered  Person may consult with
          counsel, appraisers,  engineers, accountants and other skilled Persons
          of its choosing,  and shall not be liable for anything done,  suffered
          or omitted in good faith in reasonable reliance upon the advice of any
          of such  Persons,  except to the  extent  that such  Member or Covered
          Person  engaged in Disabling  Conduct or to the extent Section 10.4 or
          Section 10.6 applies.  No Member shall be liable to the Company or any
          Member for any error of judgment  made in good faith by a  responsible
          officer or  officers  of the  Member,  except to the extent  that such
          Member  engaged in Disabling  Conduct or to the extent Section 10.4 or
          Section 10.6  applies.  Except as  otherwise  provided in this Section
          10.2, Section 10.4 or Section 10.6 or to the extent that the Member or
          Covered  Person  engaged in  Disabling  Conduct,  no Member or Covered
          Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any mistake of
          fact or judgment  by the Member or Covered  Person in  conducting  the
          affairs of the  Company or  otherwise  acting in respect of and within
          the scope of this  Agreement.  No Member or  Covered  Person  shall be
          liable  for the  return  to any  Member of all or any  portion  of any
          Member's  Capital  Account  or  Capital  Contributions,  except to the
          extent  that such  Member  or  Covered  Person  engaged  in  Disabling
          Conduct.

     (c)  Reliance on this Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a
          Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities
          relating thereto to the Company or to the Members,  any Covered Person
          acting under this  Agreement  or otherwise  shall not be liable to the
          Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions
          of this  Agreement.  The provisions of this  Agreement,  to the extent
          that they  restrict  the duties and  liabilities  of a Covered  Person
          otherwise  existing at law or in equity,  are agreed by the Members to
          replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

     (d)  Standard of Care.  Whenever in this Agreement a Person is permitted or
          required to make a decision (i) in its "sole and absolute discretion,"
          "sole discretion,"  "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority
          or latitude,  the Person shall be entitled to consider such  interests
          and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have
          no duty or obligation to give any  consideration to any interest of or
          factors  affecting  the  Company or any other  Person,  or (ii) in its
          "good faith" or under another express  standard,  the Person shall act
          under such  express  standard and shall not be subject to any other or
          different standard imposed by this Agreement or other applicable law.

     Section 10.3. Indemnification.


     (a)  Indemnification  Generally.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in  this
          Agreement,  the Company shall and hereby does,  to the fullest  extent
          permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and release each
          Member and  Covered  Person  from and  against  all  claims,  demands,
          liabilities,  costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and
          actions,   whether   juridical,   administrative,   investigative   or
          otherwise,  of  whatever  nature,  known  or  unknown,  liquidated  or
          unliquidated  ("Claims"),  that may  accrue to or be  incurred  by any
          Member or Covered Person, or in which any Member or Covered Person may
          become involved, as a party or otherwise,  or with which any Member or
          Covered  Person may be  threatened,  relating to or arising out of the
          Member's  or  Covered  Person's  status  as such,  including,  but not
          limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction  of judgments,  in compromise
          or as fines or penalties  and counsel  fees and  expenses  incurred in
          connection  with the  preparation for or defense or disposition of any
          investigation,  action,  suit,  arbitration  or  other  proceeding  (a
          "Proceeding"),  whether  civil or  criminal  (all of such  Claims  and
          amounts  covered by this Section 10.3 and all expenses  referred to in
          Section 10.3(c),  are referred to as "Damages"),  except to the extent
          that it shall have been determined  ultimately that such Damages arose
          from  Disabling  Conduct  of such  Member  or  Covered  Person  or the
          indemnification  obligations in Section 10.4 or Section 10.6 apply, or
          that such Member or Covered Person committed a material breach of this
          Agreement.  The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not,
          of itself,  create a  presumption  that any  Damages  relating to such
          settlement  arose from a material  violation of this  Agreement by, or
          Disabling Conduct of, any Member or Covered Person.

     (b)  No Direct Member Indemnity.  Members shall not be required directly to
          indemnify any Covered Person.

     (c)  Expenses,  etc.  Expenses  incurred  by a Member or Covered  Person in
          defense or  settlement  of any Claim that may be subject to a right of
          indemnification  hereunder may be advanced by the Company prior to the
          final  disposition  thereof  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on
          behalf of the  Member or  Covered  Person to repay  such  amount if it
          shall be determined  ultimately  that the Member or Covered  Person is
          not entitled to be indemnified  hereunder.  The right of any Member or
          Covered  Person  to  the  indemnification  provided  herein  shall  be
          cumulative  with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such
          Member or Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a
          matter of law or equity and shall  extend to the  successors,  assigns
          and legal representatives of such Member or Covered Person.

     (d)  Notices of Claims,  etc. Promptly after receipt by a Member or Covered
          Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, such Member or
          Covered  Person  shall,  if a claim  for  indemnification  in  respect
          thereof is to be made against the Company,  give written notice to the
          Company of the  commencement  of such  Proceeding,  provided  that the
          failure  of any Member or Covered  Person to give  notice as  provided
          herein  shall not relieve the  Company of its  obligations  under this
          Section  10.3  except  to the  extent  that the  Company  is  actually
          prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such Proceeding
          is brought against a Member or Covered Person (other than a derivative
          suit in  right  of the  Company),  the  Company  will be  entitled  to
          participate  in and to assume the  defense  thereof to the extent that
          the Board of Managers may wish, with counsel  reasonably  satisfactory
          to such  Member or  Covered  Person.  After  notice  from the Board of
          Managers to such Member or Covered Person of the Company's election to
          assume  the  defense  thereof,  the  Company  will not be  liable  for
          expenses  subsequently  incurred by such  Member or Covered  Person in
          connection with the defense  thereof.  The Company will not consent to
          entry of any  judgment  or enter  into any  settlement  that  does not
          include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
          plaintiff  to such  Member or  Covered  Person  of a release  from all
          liability in respect to such Claim.

     (e)  No Waiver.  Nothing  contained in this Section 10.3 shall constitute a
          waiver by any Member of any right that it may have  against  any party
          under United States Federal or state securities laws.

     (f)  Authorization.  Any indemnification under Section 10.3, as well as the
          advance payment of expenses  permitted under Section  10.3(c),  unless
          ordered by a court, must be made by this Company only as authorized in
          the specific case upon a  determination  that  indemnification  of the
          Member or Covered  Person is proper  under  those  circumstances.  The
          determination must be made:

               (1)  by the Board of  Managers  by a  unanimous  vote of a quorum
                    consisting  of  Managers  who were not parties to the act or
                    Proceeding;

               (2)  if a unanimous vote of a quorum consisting of those Managers
                    who were not parties to the act or Proceeding so orders,  by
                    independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

               (3)  if a quorum  consisting  of Managers who were not parties to
                    the act or  Proceeding  cannot be obtained,  by  independent
                    legal counsel in a written opinion.

     Section 10.4 Indemnification by Members.

     (a)  Notwithstanding  anything  herein to the  contrary  and  except as set
          forth in and subject to the limitations of any other written agreement
          between any Member and the  Company,  each  Member (the  "Indemnifying
          Party")  shall  indemnify,  defend and hold harmless the other Members
          and their respective officers,  directors,  employees,  agents, parent
          companies, subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, without limitation,
          the Company) (each being an "Indemnified  Party") from and against any
          Losses (as  defined  and limited  below)  incurred by the  Indemnified
          Party resulting from or relating to:

          (i)  any willful  misconduct by the  Indemnifying  Party or any of its
               Affiliates (or by any contractor,  subcontractor, vendor or agent
               of the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates);

          (ii) any negligence by the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates
               (or by any  contractor,  subcontractor,  vendor  or  agent of the
               Indemnifying  Party  or  any of its  Affiliates)  in the  design,
               construction,  ownership, operation or maintenance of the System,
               or any other services to be performed under or in connection with
               the Utility Services Agreement; and

          (iii)any  act or  omission  by the  Indemnifying  Party  or any of its
               Affiliates (or by any contractor,  subcontractor, vendor or agent
               of the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates) to the extent
               that  such act or  omission  causes  the  Company  (or any  other
               Indemnified Party) to violate the Utility Services Agreement, the
               Senior Debt,  or any other  contract,  agreement or instrument by
               which the Company or its property is bound.

     "Losses" subject of the foregoing indemnity shall mean all losses, damages,
liquidated damages (including,  without limitation, those arising as a result of
the  failure  to  meet  a  performance  guaranty),  claims,  causes  of  action,
liabilities,  fines, penalties,  expenses,  costs and fees and shall (i) include
payments  under  guarantees,  contributions  required  to be made to the Company
under this Agreement and indemnity payments due to GM and (ii) exclude punitive,
indirect,  special,  incidental or consequential  damages (other than any of the
foregoing required to be paid by the Indemnified Party to a Person  unaffiliated
with the Indemnified Party).

     The  following   provisions  and  limitations  shall  apply  to  the  above
indemnity.  Each Member's  respective  indemnity  obligations under this Section
10.4(a)(ii)  and (iii) above shall be capped and  limited  with  respect to each
Member,  from time to time and respectively,  at an amount equal to the Interest
Percentages  in the Company held by it at that time  multiplied  by the Contract
Project Fee, as defined in the Utility Services  Agreement.  Any indemnification
liability  under this  Section  10.4(a)(ii)  and (iii) in excess of such amounts
shall be borne by the  Members  pro rata in  accordance  with  their  respective
Interest  Percentages  in the Company.  All claims for  indemnity by the Company
against a Member may be asserted  on behalf of the  Company by any other  Member
without approval of the Board of Managers.  The preceding  indemnity shall apply
regardless  of whether  the  Indemnifying  Party is acting in its  capacity as a
Member or as an independent contractor of the Company.

     (b)  As soon as is reasonably  practicable  after becoming aware of a claim
          for indemnification under this Agreement,  the Indemnified Party shall
          promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying  Party of such claim.
          To the extent reasonably possible,  such written notice shall describe
          the  Loss  and  the  amount   thereof,   if  known,   with  reasonable
          particularity.  The  failure of the  Indemnified  Party to give notice
          shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
          Section  10.4 except to the extent that the  Indemnifying  Party shall
          have been prejudiced thereby.

     (c)  If any claim for indemnification  hereunder is due to the assertion of
          a claim, action or proceeding by any Person other than a Member or its
          Affiliates (a "Third Party Claim"),  the Indemnifying Party shall have
          the right to  participate in and, by giving written notice (a "Defense
          Notice") to the  Indemnified  Party  within 30 days after  delivery of
          written notice of the Third Party Claim, to assume the defense of such
          Third Party  Claim at its sole  expense  and with  counsel  reasonably
          satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. From
          and  after  delivery  of a  Defense  Notice  in  accordance  with  the
          foregoing,  the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as it diligently
          conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party for any fees
          of other counsel or any other  expenses with respect to the defense of
          such Third  Party  Claim,  in each case  subsequently  incurred by the
          Indemnified  Party in  connection  with  defense of such  Third  Party
          Claim. If the Indemnifying  Party assumes the defense of a Third Party
          Claim,  no  compromise  or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be
          effected by the  Indemnifying  Party without the  Indemnified  Party's
          consent  unless (i) there is no finding  or  admission  therein of any
          liability  on the  part of the  Indemnified  Party,  and (ii) the sole
          relief  provided  under such  compromise  or  settlement  is  monetary
          damages  that  are  paid  in full by the  Indemnifying  Party.  If the
          Indemnified  Party provides  notice of a Third Party Claim pursuant to
          paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4,  but the  Indemnifying  Party does
          not provide a Defense Notice in accordance  with this  paragraph,  the
          Indemnifying  Party shall be bound by, and the Indemnified Party shall
          have no  obligation  to obtain any consent of the  Indemnifying  Party
          with  respect  to,  (i)  any  determination  made  in  the  action  or
          proceeding  with  respect  to such  Third  Party  Claim  or  (ii)  any
          compromise  or  settlement  effected  by the  Indemnified  Party  with
          respect to such Third Party Claim.

     (d)  An Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to pay  indemnification
          for any Loss to the extent  that  recovery  for such Loss is  actually
          paid to the  Indemnified  Party  under any  policy of  insurance.  The
          Indemnified  Party shall use all  commercially  reasonable  efforts to
          make claims under applicable  insurance  policies with respect to such
          Losses.  To the extent that an Indemnified  Party is subsequently paid
          by an insurance company for any Loss with respect to which payment was
          previously   received  by  the  Indemnified   Party   hereunder,   the
          Indemnified  Party  shall  promptly,  upon  receipt  of the  insurance
          proceeds, reimburse the Indemnifying Party from the insurance proceeds
          in an amount  up to the  Indemnifying  Party's  prior  payment  to the
          Indemnified  Party with respect to such Loss. The Members shall obtain
          waivers of subrogation from their respective  insurance  carriers with
          respect to indemnified Losses covered by insurance.

     Section 10.5. Indemnification by the Company.

     The Company shall  indemnify,  defend and hold harmless each of the Members
and their  respective  officers,  directors,  employees,  agents and  Affiliates
(other  than the  Company)  (each being a "Member  Party")  from and against any
losses,  damages,  claims,  causes of  action,  liabilities,  fines,  penalties,
expenses,  costs and fees to the extent incurred by a Member Party in connection
with  matters  where the  Company is  indemnified  by third  parties,  including
without  limitation  those matters as to which GM indemnifies  the Company under
the Utility  Services  Agreement.  The foregoing  indemnification  obligation is
subject to the  condition  that the Member  Party has acted with  respect to the
indemnified  matter  within  the  scope of its  authority,  responsibilities  or
obligations under this Agreement or any Service  Arrangement,  including without
limitation any contract or  subcontract to provide goods and/or  services to the
Company.

     Section 10.6. Special Indemnification of York and Its Affiliates.

     (a)  For purposes of this Section 10.6, the term "Project Activities" means
          the design, engineering, construction, planning, preparation, studies,
          procurement, pricing, funding, specifications,  testing, change orders
          or analysis  of the GM Delta  Township II Project or the System or any
          related matter.  Except as provided below, all Project  Activities (i)
          constituting  Company Approved  Activities (as defined below) and (ii)
          undertaken or performed  after May 26, 2004 (the  "Involvement  Date")
          are  referred  to in  this  Section  10.6 as the  "Subsequent  Project
          Activities,"  and all other Project  Activities are referred to herein
          as the "Prior Project  Activities." Cinergy Solutions and Veolia Water
          hereby agree for the benefit of York not to take or suffer to be taken
          any material  aspect of a Project  Activity  without  presenting  such
          matter  to the  three  representatives  appointed  by  the  respective
          Members pursuant to subcontracts to be entered into for the purpose of
          reviewing  design and construction of the GM Delta Township II Project
          and the System (the "Review Body") for review and  consideration,  and
          no such matter not so presented to the Review Body shall be considered
          a Subsequent Project Activity.

     (b)  For purposes hereof, the term "Company Approved Activity" shall mean a
          Project Activity which is (i) an immaterial matter approved by Cinergy
          Solutions or Veolia Water after the  Involvement  Date,  (ii) actually
          reviewed  and  considered  by all three  members of the  Review  Body,
          provided  that  the York  representative  on the  Review  Body has not
          objected to the Project Activity and requested review by the Company's
          Board of Managers as provided in (c) below or (iii) actually reviewed,
          considered  and approved by the Board of Managers of the Company after
          the  Involvement  Date,  such  approval to be by majority  vote of the
          Managers except in the case of a Project  Activity  involving a matter
          on Exhibit A hereto for which  York has or shares  responsibility,  in
          which  event the Board of  Managers  vote must be  unanimous  and must
          include the York Manager.

     (c)  In the event that the York  representative  on the Review Body objects
          to any matter and requests  review by the Company's Board of Managers,
          such matter shall be deemed to be a Prior Project  Activity unless the
          Board of Managers of the Company  subsequently  (i) actually  reviews,
          considers and approves the matter as provided in clause (b)(iii) above
          and (ii) the matter is undertaken or performed  after the  Involvement
          Date.

     (d)  In respect  of any  matter  involving  Project  Activities  which have
          aspects or  elements  relating to both the period of time prior to the
          Involvement Date and the period of time after the Involvement Date, in
          determining  whether or not a Project Activity is a Subsequent Project
          Activity or a Prior Project  Activity,  the following  principles,  as
          well as all other relevant considerations, shall be applied:

          (i)  The  consideration  and  approval  by  the  Review  Body  or  the
               Company's  Board of Managers of a  document,  agreement  or other
               materials after the Involvement Date does not by itself cause all
               matters covered by the document,  agreement or other materials to
               become Subsequent Project Activities.

          (ii) The review,  consideration and approval by the Review Body or the
               Company's Board of Managers of any construction contract or other
               contract  for the GM Delta  Township  II Project or the System or
               any aspect of them after the  Involvement  Date  causes a Project
               Activity  relating  thereto to be a Subsequent  Project  Activity
               only to the extent any issue or  consequence  in question was not
               primarily  caused  by  other  Project  Activities  which  are not
               themselves Subsequent Project Activities.

          (iii)A Project Activity may be deemed a Subsequent  Project Activities
               only to the extent the aspects or elements relating to the period
               of time after the Involvement Date were, in relation to the other
               aspects or  elements  of the Project  Activities,  a  significant
               factor in causing the Project Activity Loss in question.

          (iv) The following is an example provided for interpretive guidance as
               to  how  the  Members   intend  the   definitions  of  the  terms
               "Subsequent  Project Activity" and "Prior Project Activity" to be
               implemented:  If it  is  supposed  that  (A)  preliminary  design
               drawings for the System  prepared prior to the  Involvement  Date
               specify  the use of a water tank of a certain  capacity,  (B) the
               final design plans  constitute a Company Approved  Activity,  (C)
               such  final  design  plans  specify  a  water  tank  of a  lesser
               capacity,  and (D) there is a failure  of the  System  due to the
               inadequate capacity of that water tank, then the specification of
               the water tank  capacity  in the final  design  drawing  would be
               deemed a Subsequent  Project Activity.  On the other hand, on the
               same supposed  circumstances  except that it is supposed that the
               water tank capacity  specified in the preliminary design drawings
               was inadequate, then the specification of the water tank capacity
               in the  final  design  drawing  would be  deemed a Prior  Project
               Activity.

     (e)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  Cinergy
          Solutions and Veolia Water hereby agree to indemnify,  defend and hold
          harmless York and all of its  Affiliates  and all of their  respective
          directors,  officers,  employees,  representatives and agents from and
          against any and all Project  Activity Losses (as defined below) to the
          extent caused by:

          (i)  the Prior Project Activities;

          (ii) any failure of the GM Delta Township II Project and the System to
               become fully  operational in accordance  with Utilities  Services
               Agreement as a result of Prior Project Activities; or

          (iii)any  failure of the GM Delta  Township  II Project and the System
               to become fully  operational  in  accordance  with the  Utilities
               Services  Agreement  without the necessity of the  expenditure of
               funds in excess of the Contract  Project Fee as a result of Prior
               Project Activities.

Where Project  Activity  Losses are caused by both Prior Project  Activities and
Subsequent Project Activities, York shall be indemnified against that portion of
such losses that is  attributable  to Prior Project  Activities on a comparative
allocation basis.

     (f)  For purposes of this Section 10.6, the term "Project  Activity Losses"
          shall mean all losses, damages, liquidated damages (including, without
          limitation,  those  arising  as a  result  of the  failure  to  meet a
          performance guaranty),  claims, causes of action, liabilities,  fines,
          penalties,  expenses, costs (including,  without limitation,  payments
          under  guarantees,  contributions  required  to be made to the Company
          under  this  Agreement  and  indemnity  payments  to GM but  excluding
          punitive,  indirect,  special,  incidental or  consequential  damages,
          other  than  any of the  foregoing  required  to be paid  to a  Person
          unaffiliated with York) and fees.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

     Section 11.1. Personal Property; Consent for Transfers.

     (a)  Restrictions on Transfer.  A Member shall not transfer,  sell, assign,
          convey,  exchange,  pledge,  encumber or otherwise dispose of (each, a
          "Transfer") any of its Interest unless: (i) the contemplated  Transfer
          will not adversely affect the regulatory  status of the Company or the
          GM Delta Township II Project;  (ii) all requisite regulatory approvals
          have been duly  obtained  and are in full force and effect;  (iii) the
          contemplated Transfer will not result in adverse tax treatment for the
          Company, the GM Delta Township II Project or any of the Members;  (iv)
          the  non-transferring  Members  have  consented  in  writing  to  such
          transfer  (after  being  informed  of the  identity  of  the  proposed
          transferee),  which  consent  may be withheld  in such  Member's  sole
          discretion; and (v) until the termination or expiration of the Utility
          Services Agreement, the proposed transferee shall have delivered to GM
          a Parental  Guarantee  substantially in the form of Schedule 19 to the
          Utility Services Agreement.

     (b)  No admission (or purported admission) of a Member, and no Transfer (or
          purported  Transfer) of all or any part of a Member's Interest (or any
          economic interest  therein),  whether to another Member or to a Person
          who is not a Member,  shall be  effective,  and any such  admission or
          Transfer (or purported  admission or Transfer) shall be void ab initio
          and no Person shall otherwise  become a Member if after such admission
          or Transfer (or  purported  admission or Transfer)  the Company  would
          have more than 100 Members.  For purposes of  determining  whether the
          Company will have more than 100 Members, each Person indirectly owning
          an Interest  through a partnership  (including any entity treated as a
          partnership for Federal income tax purposes),  a grantor trust or an S
          corporation  (each such  entity,  a  "flow-through  entity")  shall be
          treated as a Member  unless the Board of  Managers  determines  in its
          sole  discretion,  after  consulting with qualified tax counsel,  that
          less than  substantially  all of the value of the  beneficial  owner's
          interest  in  the   flow-through   entity  is   attributable   to  the
          flow-through entity's Interest (direct or indirect) in the Company.

     (c)  Any Transfer  inconsistent  with the terms and  provisions of Sections
          11.1(a) and (b) shall be null and void and of no effect.

     Section 11.2. Issue and Replacement of Certificates.

     Upon the request of any Member, an Interest  certificate shall be delivered
to such Member for the Interest held by it. Every certificate shall be signed by
one Cinergy Solutions Manager, the York Manager and one Veolia Water Manager. In
the  case of loss,  mutilation,  or  destruction  of a share  certificate  a new
certificate  may be  issued  upon  such  terms  as the  Board  of  Managers  may
prescribe.

     Section 11.3. Interest Certificate Legend.

     All certificates representing Interests shall bear the following legend (in
addition to any other legend required by applicable law):

     "These interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  or any state securities laws and may not be sold, offered for sale,
pledged,  assigned,  hypothecated  or otherwise  transferred in violation of any
applicable  securities  law.  These  interests  are  subject  to the  terms  and
conditions,  including restrictions on transfers, pledges or other dispositions,
of a Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2004, as amended
from  time to time,  copies  of which  are on file  with  the  Secretary  of the
Company."

                                   ARTICLE XII
                   DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

     Section 12.1. Dissolution.

     Subject to Article XIV, the Company  shall  dissolve upon and in accordance
with the mutual  agreement of the Members,  and only in compliance  with Section
2.2 and the other provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 12.2. Liquidation.

     Upon  dissolution  of the  Company,  the Person or Persons  approved by the
Board of  Managers  shall  carry  out the  winding  up of the  Company  (in such
capacity,  the  "Liquidating  Trustee")  and  shall  proceed,   subject  to  the
provisions  herein,  to  liquidate  the Company  and apply the  proceeds of such
liquidation,  or in its sole  discretion to distribute  Company  assets,  in the
following order of priority:

          First,  to creditors in  satisfaction  of debts and liabilities of the
     Company,  including without limitation, the Company's obligations under the
     Loan  Agreement,  whether by payment or the making of reasonable  provision
     for payment  (other  than any loans or advances  that may have been made by
     any of the  Members  to the  Company),  and the  expenses  of  liquidation,
     whether by payment or the making of reasonable provisions for payments, any
     such reasonable reserves (which may be funded by a liquidating trust) to be
     established  by the  Liquidating  Trustee,  as the case may be, in  amounts
     deemed by it to be  reasonably  necessary  for the payment of the Company's
     expenses, liabilities and other obligations (whether fixed or contingent);

          Second,  to the Members in  satisfaction of any loans or advances that
     may have been made by any of the Members to the Company  whether by payment
     or the making of reasonable provision for payment; and

          Third,  to the  Members in  proportion  to, and to the extent of, each
     Member's  Capital  Account,  as such  Capital  Account  has  been  adjusted
     pursuant to Article VI.

     Section 12.3. Time for Liquidation, etc.

     (a)  A reasonable  time period shall be allowed for the orderly  winding up
          and  liquidation  of the assets of the  Company and the  discharge  of
          liabilities to creditors as to enable the Liquidating  Trustee to seek
          to minimize potential losses upon such liquidation.  The provisions of
          this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period
          of winding up and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation of
          the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

     (b)  Upon  completion  of the  foregoing,  the  Liquidating  Trustee  shall
          execute,   acknowledge   and  cause  to  be  filed  a  certificate  of
          cancellation  of the Company with the  Secretary of State of the State
          of Delaware.

     Section 12.4. Claims of the Members.

     The  Members  and any former  Members  shall look  solely to the  Company's
assets for the return of their Capital  Contributions,  and if the assets of the
Company  remaining after payment of or due provisions of all debts,  liabilities
and  obligations  of  the  Company  are  insufficient  to  return  such  Capital
Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against any
Member, any Manager or their Affiliates.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                               INDEPENDENT MANAGER

     Section  13.1 Until all amounts due Lender  under the Loan  Documents  been
paid or  otherwise  satisfied  in full and no amounts are owed by the Company to
the  Lender  under any Loan  Document,  and for a period of 91 days  thereafter,
except in the case of a temporary  vacancy,  which shall promptly be filled, the
Members and Managers of the Company shall cause the Company at all times to have
an Independent Manager.

     Section 13.2 Except as provided in Section 13.6,  the  Independent  Manager
shall not be deemed to be a member of the Company, shall have no interest in the
profits,  losses and  capital of the  Company and shall have no right to receive
any  distributions  of Company's  assets.  The Independent  Manager shall not be
required  to make any  capital  contributions  to the  Company  and,  except  as
provided in Section 13.6 hereof,  shall not receive a limited  liability company
interest  in  the  Company.  The  Independent  Manager,  in its  capacity  as an
independent  manager,  may not bind the Company.  Except as set forth in Section
14.1(c), the Independent Manager, in its capacity as independent manager,  shall
have no right to vote on,  approve  or  otherwise  consent  to any action by, or
matter  relating to, the Company.  The rights and obligations of the Independent
Manager  under the Agreement  shall belong solely to and be exercised  solely by
the Independent Manager.

     Section 13.3 The initial Independent Manager shall execute a counterpart of
this Agreement.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  provided herein,  no
Independent  Manager  may  resign,  be  removed  as the  Independent  Manager or
transfer or delegate its rights or obligations  as an  Independent  Manager with
respect to the Company  unless,  and no appointment  of a successor  Independent
Manager shall be effective until, (i) a successor  Independent  Manager has been
appointed  by the  Members,  and (ii) such  successor  has  accepted  his or her
appointment  as the  Independent  Manager by  executing  a  counterpart  of this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein, if the Independent
Manager  resigns,  ceases to be qualified  as an  Independent  Manager,  or such
position is otherwise  vacant,  no action  requiring the affirmative vote of the
Independent Manager shall be taken until a successor Independent Manager is duly
appointed as provided in this Section 13.3.

     Section  13.4 The  Independent  Manager  shall  not at any time  serve as a
trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.

     Section 13.5 Except as otherwise  expressly  provided by the Delaware  Act,
the debts,  obligations  and  liabilities  of the  Company,  whether  arising in
contract,  tort or otherwise,  shall be the debts,  obligations  and liabilities
solely of the  Company,  and the  Independent  Manager  shall  not be  obligated
personally  for any such debt,  obligation or liability of the Company solely by
reason of being an Independent  Manager of the Company.  The Independent Manager
shall not be liable,  responsible  or accountable in damages or otherwise to the
Company  or any  Member of the  Company  for any act or  omission  performed  or
omitted by such  Independent  Manager in good faith on behalf of the Company and
in a manner  reasonably  believed by such  Independent  Manager to be within the
scope of the authority granted to such Independent Manager by this Agreement and
in the best interests of the Company,  except for acts or omissions amounting to
fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. For purposes of this section, any
action or omission taken on advice of qualified legal counsel for the Company or
Independent  Manager shall be deemed to have been taken in good faith. Except as
may be otherwise  provided by the Delaware Act, no suit or other action  brought
by any Member of the Company  against the  Independent  Manager  shall cause the
termination or dissolution of the Company.

     Section 13.6 Upon the occurrence of any event that causes any Member of the
Company  to cease to be a Member of the  Company,  unless  there is at least one
other Member of the Company at that time, the Independent Manager shall, without
any action of any Person and  simultaneously  with the last remaining  Member of
the Company ceasing to be a Member of the Company,  automatically be admitted to
the Company as a special  member (the "Special  Member") and shall  continue the
Company  without  dissolution.  The Special Member may not resign as a Member of
the Company or transfer his or her rights as Special  Member  unless a successor
Special  Member  (i) has been  admitted  to the  Company  as  Special  Member by
executing a  counterpart  to this  Agreement  and (ii) has  accepted  his or her
appointment as the Independent Manager pursuant to the terms hereof. The Special
Member  shall  automatically  cease to be a Member of the  Company  (but not the
Independent  Manager of the  Company)  upon the  admission  to the  Company of a
substitute  Member,  appointed  by the  Independent  Manager or its  agent.  The
Special Member shall have no interest in the profits,  losses and capital of the
Company and no right to receive any  distributions  of Company assets,  provided
that,  if the  Special  Member is the sole  Member of the  Company,  the Special
Member in its  capacity as the sole Member of the Company  shall hold all of the
limited liability interests in the Company,  including,  without limitation, the
interests  in the  profits and losses of the  Company,  and shall be entitled to
exercise  all of the rights and shall  have all of the  obligations  of a Member
hereunder.

any public announcements or disclosures concerning the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement with the other Members prior to making any such  announcements
or disclosures.

     The Members  acknowledge  that during the course of and in preparation  for
the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement (including their performance of
the design,  construction,  operation and maintenance of the System),  they will
disclose to and  receive  from each other,  in written  form or orally,  certain
proprietary or other  confidential  information,  including without  limitation,
technical,  marketing and other business information.  Such information shall be
disclosed and received subject to this Section 16.12.

          (a)  For purposes hereof,  in addition to the information  referred to
               in the immediately preceding sentence,  Confidential  Information
               also includes without limitation:

               (i)  commercial or technical knowledge,  information compilation,
                    data, material or software products, sketches, plans, notes,
                    drawings,     measurements,     designs,     specifications,
                    calculations,  prototypes,  formulas, intellectual property,
                    development and research  programs,  production  reports and
                    process and laboratory analyses;

               (ii) customer lists,  pricing methods and information,  policies,
                    strategies and activities regarding exploitation,  marketing
                    and sales or regarding general  administration and financial
                    matters; and

               (iii)any  other  information  that is  marked  "Confidential"  or
                    otherwise designated clearly as being confidential,  secret,
                    reserved  or   exclusive   information   including   without
                    limitation,   all   information   acquired   during   visual
                    disclosure,   provided  that  said   information   had  been
                    designated confidential at the time of such disclosure or by
                    a writing sent within thirty (30) days thereafter.

     (b)  The recipient of Confidential  Information hereunder hereby undertakes
          that the Confidential  Information will be kept  confidential and will
          not  be  disclosed  by  the  recipient,   its  employees,   agents  or
          representatives,  in any  manner  whatsoever,  in  whole  or in  part,
          provided that such obligation shall terminate on the fifth anniversary
          of the  dissolution  of the Company.  Moreover,  the recipient  hereby
          agrees  not  to  use  the  Confidential  Information,  in  any  manner
          whatsoever,  except as  contemplated  hereby.  The  recipient  will be
          responsible for any breach of the undertakings contained herein by any
          of its Affiliates,  officers,  directors or employees and will require
          its  agents,  contractors,  subcontractors  and  vendors  to  agree to
          protect such Confidential Information on terms similar to those stated
          in this Section 16.12. Upon request from the owner of any Confidential
          Information,  the recipient promptly shall (i) return to the owner all
          documents or other  materials  furnished by the owner to the recipient
          constituting  Confidential  Information,  together with all copies and
          summaries  thereof  in the  possession  or under  the  control  of the
          recipient and (ii) destroy all documents or other materials  generated
          by the recipient  that are based upon,  or otherwise  include or refer
          to,  any  part  of the  Confidential  Information,  and  certify  such
          destruction to the owner of the Confidential Information. In any case,
          however,  the recipient's  legal department may retain one (1) copy of
          the Confidential Information solely for archive purposes.

     (c)  The recipient recognizes that the non-authorized use or the disclosure
          of the Confidential  Information  will cause an irreparable  damage to
          the owner thereof  which cannot  easily be converted  into a financial
          loss.  Accordingly,  the  recipient  agrees  that the  owner  shall be
          entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Section
          16.12 and to  specifically  enforce  the  provisions  of this  Section
          16.12,  in  addition  to any  other  remedy  to which the owner may be
          entitled at law or in equity.

     (d)  The  recipient   recognizes   that  the  owner  of  any   Confidential
          Information  disclosed hereunder shall remain the owner thereof and of
          all other intellectual  property created,  established or found by the
          owner or on its behalf.

     (e)  The foregoing  provisions of this Section 16.12 shall not apply to any
          information  which:  (i) at the time of disclosure is available to the
          public;  or (ii)  after  disclosure  becomes  available  to the public
          through no fault of the recipient, provided that the obligation of the
          recipient  shall  cease only after the date on which such  information
          has  become  available  to the  public;  or (iii)  the  recipient  can
          demonstrate,  through tangible evidence,  was in its possession before
          receipt  from  the  disclosing  party;  or  (iv) is  disclosed  to the
          recipient  without  restriction on disclosure by a third party who has
          the lawful right to disclose such  information;  or (v) is required to
          be disclosed by order of a court,  administrative agency or government
          body,  or subpoena,  summons or other legal  process,  or by such law,
          rule or  regulation,  provided  that  prior  to such  disclosure,  the
          recipient  gives the other  party  reasonable  advance  notice of such
          order and an  opportunity to object to such  disclosure.  Confidential
          Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing  exceptions
          merely  because  it is (A)  specific  and  embraced  by  more  general
          information  in the public domain or  recipient's  possession or (B) a
          combination   which  can  be  pieced   together  to  reconstruct   the
          Confidential  Information from multiple  sources,  none of which shows
          the whole combination, its principle of operation and method of use.

     Section 16.13. No Third Party Beneficiary.

     This Agreement  shall be for the sole and exclusive  benefit of the Members
and their  respective  successors,  assignees and  transferees.  Nothing in this
Agreement,  expressed  or implied,  is intended or shall be  construed to confer
upon,  or to give to, any other  Person any right,  remedy or claim  under or by
reason of this Agreement or any terms hereof; provided,  however, nothing herein
shall be deemed to limit the  liability  of the  Company for a breach of Section
7.01(u) of the Loan Agreement.

     Section  1.1.  Offices.  To  the  extent  not  otherwise  provided  in  the
Certificate of  Incorporation,  the principal office of the Corporation shall be

other  offices at such other places as the Board of  Directors  may from time to
time determine, or as the business of the Corporation may require.

                                   ARTICLE II

                             Stockholders' Meetings

     Section 2.1. Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the stockholders may be
held at such place,  time, and date designated by the Board of Directors for the
election of directors,  the  consideration  of the reports to be laid before the
meeting, and the transaction of such other business as may be brought before the
meeting.

     Section 2.2. Notice of Annual  Meeting.  Notice of the annual meeting shall
be given in  writing  to each  stockholder  entitled  to vote  thereat,  at such
address as appears on the records of the  Corporation at least ten (10) days and
not more than forty-five (45) days prior to the meeting.

     Section 2.3. Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the stockholders may be
called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or
the President,  or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors acting
with or without a  meeting,  or by the  persons  who hold in the  aggregate  the
express  percentage,  as  provided  by statute,  of all shares  outstanding  and
entitled to vote thereat,  upon notice in writing,  stating the time,  place and
purpose of the meeting.  Business  transacted at all special  meetings  shall be
confined to the objects stated in the call.

     Section 2.4. Notice of Special  Meeting.  Notice of a special  meeting,  in
writing,  stating the time,  place and purpose  thereof,  shall be given to each

     Section 2.5. Waiver of Notice. Notice of the time, place and purpose of any
meeting of stockholders may be waived by the written assent of every stockholder
entitled  to  notice,  filed with or entered  upon the  records of the  meeting,
either before or after the holding thereof.  It shall not be required to specify
in the waiver of notice either the purpose of such meeting or the business to be
transacted  at such  meeting.  Attendance  of a  stockholder  at a meeting shall
constitute  a waiver of  notice of such  meeting,  except  when the  stockholder
attends a meeting for the express  purpose of objecting at the  beginning of the
meeting,  to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

     Section 2.6.  Quorum.  The holders of shares  entitling  them to exercise a
majority of the voting  power,  or, if the vote is to be taken by  classes,  the
holders of shares of each class  entitling  them to  exercise a majority  of the
voting power of that class,  present in person or by proxy at any meeting of the
stockholders, unless otherwise specified by statute, shall constitute a quorum.

          If, however,  at any meeting of the stockholders,  a quorum shall fail
     to attend in person or by proxy, a majority in interest of the stockholders
     attending  in person or by proxy at the time and place of such  meeting may
     adjourn the meeting from time to time without  further  notice  (unless the
     meeting  has  been   adjourned  for  over  thirty  days),   other  than  by
     announcement  at the meeting at which such  adjournment  is taken,  until a
     quorum is present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be
     present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
     the meeting originally called.

     Section  2.7.  Voting.  At each  meeting  of the  stockholders,  except  as
otherwise provided by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation,  every holder
of record  of stock of the class or  classes  entitled  to vote at such  meeting
shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy  appointed by an  instrument  in
writing  subscribed by such  stockholder and bearing a date, not later than such
time as expressly  provided by statute,  prior to said meeting unless some other
definite period of validity shall be expressly provided therein.

          Each  stockholder  shall  have one (1)  vote  for each  share of stock
     having  voting  power,  registered  in his or her name on the  books of the
     Corporation,  at the date fixed for  determination  of persons  entitled to
     vote at the  meeting  or,  if no date has  been  fixed,  then as  expressly
     provided by statute. Cumulative voting shall be permitted only as expressly
     provided by statute.

          At any meeting of  stockholders,  a list of  stockholders  entitled to
     vote,  alphabetically  arranged,  showing  the number and classes of shares
     held by each on the date fixed for closing the books  against  transfers or
     the record date fixed as hereinbefore provided (or if no such date has been
     fixed, then as hereinbefore  stated as expressly provided by statute) shall
     be produced on the request of any stockholder, and such list shall be prima
     facie evidence of the ownership of shares and of the right of  stockholders
     to vote, when certified by the Secretary or by the agent of the Corporation
     having charge of the transfer of shares.

     Section 2.8. Written Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Any action
required or permitted by statute,  the  Certificate of  Incorporation,  or these
By-Laws,  to be taken at any annual or special  meeting of  stockholders  of the
Corporation,  may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote,  if a written  consent in lieu of a meeting,  setting  forth the action so
taken,  shall be signed by all the  stockholders  entitled to vote thereon.  Any
such  written  consent  may be  given  by one or  any  number  of  substantially
concurrent  written  instruments of  substantially  similar tenor signed by such
stockholders,  in person or by attorney or proxy duly appointed in writing,  and
filed with the records of the  Corporation.  Any such written  consent  shall be
effective as of the effective date thereof as specified therein.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                    Directors

     Section 3.1. Duties and Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation
shall be managed by or under the  direction of the Board of Directors  which may
exercise  all such  powers of the  Corporation  and do all such  lawful acts and
things as are not,  by  statute,  the  Certificate  of  Incorporation,  or these
By-Laws, directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

     Section 3.2. Number and Election of Directors. The Board of Directors shall
consist of not less than three nor more than fifteen  members,  the exact number
of which shall be fixed by the Board of  Directors.  Directors  shall be elected
annually by stockholders at their annual  meeting,  in a manner  consistent with
statute and as provided in Article II,  Section 2.8 of these  By-Laws,  and each
director so elected  shall hold office until  his/her  successor is duly elected
and qualifies, or until his/her earlier resignation or removal. Any director may
resign at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. Directors need not be
stockholders  and shall  fulfill  residency  requirements  as and if provided by
statute.  Any  director  may be removed  at any time with or without  cause by a
majority vote of the stockholders, unless otherwise provided by statute.

     Section  3.3.  Vacancies.   Vacancies  and  newly  created   directorships,
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled
by a majority of the directors then in office, and the directors so chosen shall
hold office for the  unexpired  term of the  predecessor  and/or  until the next
annual meeting of stockholders,  and until their successors are duly elected and
qualify, or until their earlier resignation or removal.

     Section 3.4.  Meetings.  Regular  meetings of the Board of Directors may be
held at such time,  place,  and upon such notice as the Board of  Directors  may
from time to time determine.  Special  meetings of the Board of Directors may be
called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President,
or by members of the board (the  express  percentage  of the latter as minimally
provided for by statute). Notice thereof stating the place, date and hour of the
meeting  shall  be  given  to each  director  either  by  mail  (not  less  than
forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the meeting), by telephone or telegram
(on  twenty-four  (24) hours' notice) or on such shorter notice as the person or
persons   calling  such  meeting  may  deem  necessary  or  appropriate  in  the
circumstances.

     Section 3.5. Quorum.  Except as may be otherwise  specifically provided for
by statute,  the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws,  at all meetings
of the Board of  Directors,  a majority of the entire Board of  Directors  shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of
the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act
of the Board of  Directors.  If a quorum  shall not be present at any meeting of
the Board of Directors,  the directors  present  thereat may adjourn the meeting
from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting,  until
a quorum shall be present.

     Section 3.6. Actions of Board. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate
of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation or these By-Laws,  any action required or
permitted  to be taken at any  meeting  of the  Board  of  Directors,  or of any
committee(s)  thereof, may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the
Board of Directors, or of such committee(s), as the case may be, consent thereto
in writing,  and the  writing(s) is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the
Board  of  Directors,  or of such  committee(s),  of the  Corporation.  Any such
written  consent to action of the Board of Directors,  or of such  committee(s),
shall be effectuated by the signature of the member lastly consenting thereto in
writing,  unless the consent otherwise specified a prior or subsequent effective
date. Section 3.7. Meetings by Means of Conference  Telephone.  Unless otherwise
provided  by the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation  or  these
By-Laws,  members of the Board of Directors,  or any committee(s)  thereof,  may
participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or of such committee(s),  as
the case may be, by means of a conference  telephone  or similar  communications
equipment  by means of which all persons  participating  in the meeting can hear
each other,  and  participation  in a meeting pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.

     Section 3.8.  Committees.  The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed
by a majority of the entire Board of Directors,  designate, from time to time as
they may see fit,  one or more  committees,  each such  committee  to consist of
three or more of the  directors of the  Corporation.  The Board of Directors may
designate one or more  directors as alternate  members of any such committee who
may  replace  any  absent  or  disqualified  member at any  meeting  of any such
committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, and in
the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate member to
replace the absent or disqualified member, the member or members thereof present
at any meeting and not disqualified  from voting,  whether or not he/she or they
constitute a quorum,  may  unanimously  appoint  another  member of the Board of
Directors  to act at the  meeting  in the place of any  absent  or  disqualified
member.  Any  committee,  to the extent  allowed by statute and  provided in the
resolution  establishing  such  committee,  shall have and may  exercise all the
powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business
and affairs of the  Corporation.  Each committee  shall keep regular minutes and
report to the Board of Directors when required.

     Section 3.9.  Compensation.  Each director of the  Corporation  (other than
directors who are salaried officers of the Corporation or any of its affiliates)
shall be  entitled  to receive as  compensation  for  services  such  reasonable
compensation,  which may include pension,  disability and death benefits, as may
be  determined  from  time  to  time  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  Reasonable
compensation  may also be paid to any person  other  than a director  officially
called to attend any such meeting.

     Section 3.10. Contracts and Transactions  Involving Directors.  No contract
or  transaction  between the  Corporation  and one or more of its  directors  or
officers,  or between the  Corporation and any other  corporation,  partnership,
association,  or other  organization  in which one or more of its  directors  or
officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest,  shall be void
or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is
present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee
thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction,  or solely because his/her
or their  votes are counted for such  purpose if: (i) the  material  facts as to
his/her or their  relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction
are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the  committee,  and the
Board of  Directors  or  committee  in good faith  authorizes  the  contract  or
transaction  by  the  affirmative  votes  of a  majority  of  the  disinterested
directors,  even though the  disinterested  directors be less than a quorum;  or
(ii) the material facts as to his/her or their  relationship  or interest and as
to the contract or  transaction  are disclosed or are known to the  stockholders
entitled to vote  thereon,  and the  contract  or  transaction  is  specifically
approved  in good faith by vote of the  stockholders;  or (iii) the  contract or
transaction  is  fair as to the  Corporation  as of the  time it is  authorized,
approved or  ratified,  by the Board of  Directors,  a committee  thereof or the
stockholders.  Common or interested  directors may be counted in determining the
presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of  Directors  or of a committee,
which authorizes the contract or transaction.

                                   ARTICLE IV

may require be brought to their  notice.  Where the  offices of Chief  Executive
Officer and President  are held by different  individuals,  the  President  will
report directly to the Chief Executive Officer.

     Section 4.5. President.  The President shall be the chief operating officer
of the Corporation,  and shall have general and active  management and direction

transactions as Treasurer and of the financial condition of the Corporation, and
shall  have the  general  powers  and  duties as are  incident  to the office of
Treasurer of a corporation. If required by the Board of Directors, the Treasurer
shall give the Corporation a bond in a form and in such sum with surety as shall
be satisfactory to the Board of Directors for the faithful performance of his or
her duties as Treasurer and for the restoration to the Corporation,  in the case
of his or her death,  resignation,  retirement  or removal from  office,  of all
books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in his or her

     Section 5.1.  Form and  Execution of  Certificates.  The  certificates  for
shares  of the  capital  stock  of the  Corporation  shall  be of such  form and
content, not inconsistent with statute and the Certificate of Incorporation,  as
shall be  approved  by the  Board of  Directors.  Every  holder  of stock in the
Corporation  shall be entitled to have a certificate  signed, in the name of the
Corporation,  by (i)  either the  Chairman  of the  Board,  the Chief  Executive
Officer,  the President or a Vice President and (ii) by any one of the following
officers:  the  Secretary  or an  Assistant  Secretary  or the  Treasurer  or an
Assistant  Treasurer.  All certificates shall be consecutively  numbered in each
class  of  shares.  The  name  and  address  of the  person  owning  the  shares
represented  thereby,  with the number of shares and the date of issue, shall be
entered on the Corporation's books.

     Section 5.2. Signatures.  Any or all of the signatures on a certificate may
be a facsimile thereof. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has
signed or whose  facsimile  signature has been placed upon a  certificate  shall
have  ceased  to be such  officer,  transfer  agent  or  registrar  before  such
certificate is issued,  it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect
as if he/she  were such  officer,  transfer  agent or  registrar  at the date of
issue.

     Section 5.3.  Lost  Certificates.  The Board of Directors  may direct a new
certificate to be issued in place of any certificate  theretofore  issued by the
Corporation  alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed,  upon the making of
an affidavit of that fact by the person  claiming the certificate of stock to be
lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the
Board of Directors may, in its  discretion  and as a condition  precedent to the
issuance  thereof,   require  the  owner  of  such  lost,  stolen  or  destroyed
certificate,  or his/her  legal  representative,  to advertise  the same in such
manner as the Board of Directors  shall require and/or to give the Corporation a
bond in such sum as it may  direct as  indemnity  against  any claim that may be
made against the  Corporation  with respect to the  certificate  alleged to have
been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     Section  5.4.  Transfers.  The capital  stock of the  Corporation  shall be
transferable in the manner  provided by statute and in these By-Laws.  Transfers
of shares shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person named
in the certificate or by his/her  attorney  lawfully  constituted in writing and
upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, which shall be canceled before a
new certificate shall be issued.

stockholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment  thereof,  or entitled to express consent to corporate action in
writing  without a meeting,  or entitled to receive  payment of any  dividend or
other  distribution  or  allotment  of any rights,  or entitled to exercise  any
rights in respect of any change,  conversion  or  exchange of stock,  or for the
purpose of any other lawful action,  the Board of Directors may fix, in advance,
a record  date,  which  shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days
before  the date of such  meeting,  nor more than  sixty days prior to any other
action.  A  determination  of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.

     Section 5.6. Beneficial Ownership Rights. The Corporation shall be entitled
to recognize  the  exclusive  right of a person  registered  on its books as the
owner of shares to receive  dividends,  and to vote as such  owner,  and to hold
liable for calls and  assessments a person  registered on its books as the owner
of shares,  and shall not be bound to recognize  any equitable or other claim to
or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person,  whether or
not it shall have express or other notice thereof,  except as otherwise provided
by statute.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                     Notices

     Section 6.1. Notices.  Whenever written notice is required by statute,  the
Certificate  of  Incorporation,  or these  By-Laws to be given to any  director,
member  of a  committee,  or  stockholder,  such  notice  may be  given by mail,
addressed to each such person,  at his/her  address as it appears on the records
of the  Corporation,  with  postage  thereon  prepaid,  and such notice shall be
deemed to be given at the time when the same  shall be  deposited  in the United
States mail,  or as otherwise  provided by statute.  Written  notice may also be
given personally or by telegram, telex or cable.

     Section 6.2. Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required by statute,
the Certificate of Incorporation,  or these By-Laws to be given to any director,
member of a committee,  or stockholder,  a waiver thereof in writing,  signed by
the person or persons entitled to said notice,  whether before or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                               General Provisions

Corporation,   subject  to  any  provision   imposed  by  the   Certificate   of
Incorporation,  may be  declared  by the Board of  Directors  at any  regular or
special  meeting,  or by written consent to the action of the Board of Directors
without such meeting(s),  and may be paid in cash, in property,  or in shares of
the capital stock. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of
any funds of the  Corporation  available for  dividends  such sum or sums as the
Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute  discretion,  deems proper
as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies,  or for equalizing dividends, or
for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation,  or for any proper
purpose, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.

     Section  7.2.  Disbursements.  All checks or demands for money and notes of
the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person
or persons as the Board of Directors  may from time to time  designate.  Section
7.3. Voting  Securities Owned by the Corporation.  Powers of attorney,  proxies,
waivers  of notice  of  meeting,  consents  and other  instruments  relating  to
securities owned by the Corporation may be executed in the name of and on behalf
of the  Corporation by the Chief  Executive  Officer,  the  President,  any Vice
President,  the Secretary, or any Assistant Secretary, and any such officer may,
in the name of and on behalf  of the  Corporation,  take all such  action as any
such officer may deem  advisable to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of
security  holders of any corporation in which the Corporation may own securities
and at any such  meeting  shall  possess and may exercise any and all rights and
power  incident to the  ownership  of such  securities  and which,  as the owner
thereof,  the  Corporation  might have  exercised and possessed if present.  The
Board of Directors may, by resolution, from time to time confer like powers upon
any other person or persons.

causing it or a  facsimile  thereof to be  impressed  or affixed or in any other
manner reproduced.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 Indemnification

     Section 8.1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other than
Those By or in the Right of the  Corporation.  Subject  to  Section  8.3 of this
Article  VIII,  and to the  extent  allowable  by  law,  the  Corporation  shall
indemnify  any  person  who was or is a party to or is  threatened  to be made a
party to any  threatened,  pending  or  completed  action,  suit or  proceeding,
whether civil,  criminal,  administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the  Corporation)  by reason of the fact that he/she is or
was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer
of the  Corporation  serving at the request of the  Corporation as a director or
officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,
trust,  employee benefit plan or other enterprise,  against expenses  (including
attorneys' fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably  incurred  by  him/her  in  connection  with  such  action,  suit  or
proceeding,  if he/she acted in good faith,  and, in a manner he/she  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 no reasonable  cause to
believe  his/her conduct was unlawful.  The  termination of any action,  suit or
proceeding by judgment,  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  he/she  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 his/her conduct was unlawful.

     Section 8.2.  Power to Indemnify in Actions,  Suits or Proceedings By or in
the Right of the  Corporation.  Subject to Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, and
to the extent  allowable by law, 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 or suit by or in the right of the  Corporation to procure a
judgment  in its favor by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a director or
officer  of  the  Corporation,  or is or  was  a  director  or  officer  of  the
Corporation  serving at the request of the  Corporation as a director,  officer,
employee or agent of another  corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the defense
or  settlement  of such  action or suit if he/she  acted in good  faith and in a
manner he/she reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
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 his/her duty to the
Corporation,  unless and only to the extent  that the court in which such action
or  suit  was  brought  shall  determine  upon  application  that,  despite  the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and  reasonably  entitled to indemnity for such expenses  which
the court shall deem proper.

     Section 8.3.  Authorization of Indemnification.  Any indemnification  under
this Article VIII (unless  ordered by a court) shall be made by the  Corporation
only  as  allowable  by  law  and as  authorized  in the  specific  case  upon a
determination that  indemnification of the present or former director or officer
is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standard of
conduct  set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 of this  Article  VIII,  as the
case may be. Such determination  shall be made with respect to a person who is a
director  or  officer  at the time of such  determination,  (i) by the  Board of
Directors by a majority  vote of a quorum  consisting  of directors who were not
parties to such  action,  suit or  proceeding,  or (ii) by a  committee  of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a
quorum;  or (iii) if such a quorum is not  obtainable,  or, even if obtainable a
quorum of disinterested  directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion,  or (iv) by the stockholders.  To the extent,  however,  that a
director  or officer of the  Corporation  has been  successful  on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action,  suit or proceeding  described  above, or in
defense of any  claim,  issue or matter  therein,  he/she  shall be  indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him/her in connection  therewith,  without the necessity of authorization in the
specific case.

          Any  determination   made  by  the   disinterested   directors  or  by
     independent legal counsel under this section shall be promptly communicated
     to the person  who  threatened  or brought  the action or suit by or in the
     right of the  Corporation  under  Section 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII,
     and, within ten days after receipt of such notification, such persons shall
     have the right to petition the court (at the courts'  discretion)  in which
     such  action or suit was  brought  to  review  the  reasonableness  of such
     determination.

     Section 8.4. Good Faith Defined.  For purposes of any  determination  under
Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good
faith and in a manner he/she reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the  Corporation,  or, with respect to any criminal  action or
proceeding,  to have had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his/her  conduct  was
unlawful,  if his/her  action is based on the records or books of account of the
Corporation or another enterprise,  or on information supplied to him/her by the
officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties,
or on the advice of legal counsel for the  Corporation or another  enterprise or
on  information  or records given or reports made to the  Corporation or another
enterprise by an independent certified public accountant,  or by an appraiser or
other  expert  selected  with  reasonable  care by the  Corporation  or  another
enterprise. The term "another enterprise" as used in this Section 8.4 shall mean
any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other  enterprise  of which such person is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director,  officer, employee or agent. The provisions of
this  Section 8.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the
circumstances  in  which a  person  may be  deemed  to have  met the  applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Sections  8.1 or 8.2 of this Article  VIII,  as
the case may be.

     Section  8.5.  Indemnification  by a Court.  Notwithstanding  any  contrary
determination  in the specific case under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII,  and
notwithstanding  the absence of any  determination  thereunder,  any director or
officer  may  apply  to any  court of  competent  jurisdiction  in the  State of
Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise  permissible under Sections
8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such  indemnification  by a court
shall be a determination by such court that  indemnification  of the director or
officer is proper in the  circumstances  because  he/she has met the  applicable
standards of conduct set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article  VIII,  as
the case may be.  Neither a contrary  determination  in the specific  case under
Section 8.3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder
shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director
or  officer  seeking  indemnification  has not met any  applicable  standard  of
conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification  pursuant to this Section
8.5  shall  be  given  to the  Corporation  promptly  upon  the  filing  of such
application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking
indemnification  shall also be entitled  to be paid the  expense of  prosecuting
such application.

     Section 8.6.  Expenses Payable in Advance.  To the extent allowable by law,
expenses  incurred  by a director or officer in  defending  or  investigating  a
threatened or pending action,  suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation
in advance of the final  disposition  of such action,  suit or  proceeding  upon
receipt of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay
such amount if it shall  ultimately be determined that he/she is not entitled to
be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.

     Section 8.7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
The  indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant
to this Article VIII shall not be deemed  exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking  indemnification  or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any other provision of these By-Laws, or similarly entitled under any agreement,
contract,  vote of stockholders or disinterested  directors,  or pursuant to the
direction  (howsoever  embodied)  of any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  or
otherwise,  both as to action in his/her  official  capacity and as to action in
another  capacity  while  holding  such  office,  it  being  the  policy  of the
Corporation that  indemnification  of the persons  specified in Sections 8.1 and
8.2 of this  Article  VIII  shall be made to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by
statute. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the
indemnification  of any person who is not  specified  in Sections  8.1 or 8.2 of
this Article  VIII,  but whom the  Corporation  has the power or  obligation  to
indemnify  under  the  provisions  of  statute  of the  State  of  Delaware,  or
otherwise.

     Section 8.8. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the  Corporation,
or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation  serving at the request of
the  Corporation  as  a  director,   officer,   employee  or  agent  of  another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise  against any  liability  asserted  against  him/her  and  incurred by
him/her in any such capacity,  or arising out of his/her status as such, whether
or not the  Corporation  would  have the power or the  obligation  to  indemnify
him/her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

     Section  8.9.  Certain  Definitions.  For  purposes of this  Article  VIII,
references  to "the  Corporation"  shall  include,  in addition to the resulting
corporation,  any  constituent  corporation  (including  any  constituent  of  a
constituent)  absorbed  in a  consolidation  or merger  which,  if its  separate
existence  had  continued,  would have had power and  authority to indemnify its
directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of
such  constituent  corporation,  or is or was a  director  or  officer  of  such
constituent  corporation serving at the request of such constituent  corporation
as a director,  officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,  shall stand in
the same position  under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the
resulting  or  surviving  corporation  as he/she would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of
this Article VIII, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed
on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving
at the  request of the  Corporation"  shall  include  any service as a director,
officer,  employee  or agent of the  Corporation  which  imposes  duties  on, or
involves  services  by,  such  director or officer  with  respect to an employee
benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries;  and a person who acted in good
faith and in a manner he/she reasonably  believed to be in the best interests of
the participants  and  beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed
to  have  acted  in  a  manner  "not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of  the
Corporation", as referred to in this Article VIII.

     Section 8.10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.  The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Article VIII shall,  unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue  as to a person who has ceased to be a  director  or officer  and shall
inure to the  benefit  of the  heirs,  executors  and  administrators  of such a
person.

     Section  8.11.  Limitation  on  Indemnification.  Notwithstanding  anything
contained  in this  Article  VIII to the  contrary,  except for  proceedings  to
enforce  rights to  indemnification  (which  shall be  governed  by Section  8.5
hereof),  the  Corporation  shall not be obligated to indemnify  any director or
officer in  connection  with a proceeding  (or part  thereof)  initiated by such
person unless such  proceeding  (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

          The  Corporation  shall  indemnify  a present  or former  director  or
     officer who was wholly successful,  on merits or otherwise,  in the defense
     of any  proceedings  as set forth in  Section  8.1 or  Section  8.2 of this
     Article VIII, to which he/she was a party because  he/she was a director of
     the  Corporation   against  reasonable  expenses  incurred  by  him/her  in
     connection with the proceeding.

     Section 8.12. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may,
to the extent  authorized  from time to time by the Board of Directors,  provide
rights to  indemnification  and to the  advancement of expenses to employees and
agents of the  Corporation,  similar to those  conferred in this Article VIII to
directors and officers of the Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   Amendments

     Section 9.1. Amendments. These By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed,
in whole or in part, or new By-Laws may be adopted:  (i) by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the  holders of record of the  outstanding  shares  entitled to
vote thereon, or by the written consent of the holders of record of a two-thirds
majority of the  outstanding  shares  entitled to vote  thereon,  except as such
alteration,  amendment  or  repeal  by  any  vote  or  written  consent  of  the
stockholders is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute; or (ii) by a majority
vote of the Board of Directors,  or by unanimous  written  consent of the board,
except  as such  alteration,  amendment  or  repeal by any vote or action of the
board is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                Emergency By-Laws

     Section 10.1.  Emergency By-Laws.  The Emergency By-Laws shall be operative
during any emergency in the conduct of the business of the Corporation resulting
from an attack on the United  States or on a locality  in which the  Corporation
conducts its business or customarily holds meetings of its Board of Directors or
its  stockholders,  or during  any  nuclear  or atomic  disaster,  or during the
existence of any catastrophe,  or similar  emergency  condition,  as a result of

     quorum at any meeting of the Board of  Directors,  be deemed the  directors
     for such meeting;  (D) the Board of Directors,  either before or during any
     such  emergency,  may  provide,  and  from  time to time  modify,  lines of

     constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors during such an

        All reference in these By-laws to the Articles of Incorporation shall be construed to mean the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation as from time to time amended.

ARTICLE II

SHAREHOLDERS

        Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders commencing with the year 2004 shall be held at such place and time and on such date as may be specified in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver thereof. The purpose of the annual meeting shall be to elect a Board of Directors and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Election of directors and of the Secretary need not be by written ballot. Purposes for which an annual meeting is to be held, additional to those prescribed by law, by the Articles of Incorporation and by these By-laws, may be specified by the President, the Board of Directors, or the Secretary upon the written request of the shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting on such additional purposes. Failure to hold an annual meeting of shareholders shall not work a forfeiture or dissolution of the Corporation. If the annual meeting is not held, a special meeting may be held in place thereof, and any business transacted or elections held at such meeting shall have the same effect as if transacted or held at the annual meeting. Such special meeting shall be called in the same manner and as provided for in Article II, Section 2 hereof, relating to special meetings of the shareholders.

        Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the President, the Board of Directors, the Secretary, or the Secretary upon the written request of a shareholder, for any purpose. Special meetings shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation in Vermont, or at such other place either within or without the State of Vermont, and on such date and hour as shall be fixed by the president, the Board of Directors, or the Secretary upon written request of a shareholder and stated in the notice of the meeting, or in a duly executed waiver thereof.

        Section 3. Notice of Meeting; Waiver. Written notice of the place, date and hour at which an annual or special meeting is to be held shall be given personally or put in the regular mails to the shareholder entitled to vote thereat, not less than ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the meeting by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the other persons calling the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition to the foregoing information, the purpose for which it is called. A written Waiver of Notice of a meeting, signed before or after the meeting by the person or persons entitled to notice, shall be deemed equivalent to notice, provided that such Waiver of Notice is inserted in the corporate minute book. Such a writing need not state the purpose of the meeting for which it waives notice. In addition, attendance at an annual or special meeting without protest shall be deemed a waiver of notice.

        Section 4. Quorum. A majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be necessary to and shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the shareholders.

        Section 5. Voting and Proxies. At any meeting of the shareholders the shareholders having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholders or by their duly authorized attorney-in-fact. A proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the meeting, or any adjournment thereof, before being voted. Unless otherwise provided therein, no proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a shareholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise. Except as otherwise provided by law, or by the Articles of Incorporation, all shareholders of record on the record date for the meeting shall be entitled to vote the shares standing in their name on the books of the Corporation.

        Section 6. Notice and Record Date of Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, except that if the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice in the standard form shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. A determination of the shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

        Section 7. Stock Ledger. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who is a shareholder entitled to examine the stock ledger, the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders.

        Section 8. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, provided that such consent is inserted in the Corporate minute book. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as an unanimous vote of shareholders and may be stated as such in any articles or documents filed with the Secretary of State.

        Section 9. Accidental Omission of Notice. The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

        Section 1. Board of Directors; Number, Terms and Quorum. The number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be determined by the shareholder at each annual meeting. Except as required by law, directors need not be residents of the State of Vermont or shareholders of the Company.

Each director shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.

        Section 2. Quorum and Voting. The total number of directors constituting a quorum for the transaction of business shall be as stated in the Articles of Incorporation. The vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors except as these By-laws shall otherwise require.

        Section 3. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time upon delivery of his resignation in writing to the President, the Treasurer, the Secretary, or the Board of Directors. Such resignation shall be effective at the date set forth in the notice, and if there is none, then upon receipt.

        Section 4. Committees. The Board of Directors may by resolution passed by majority of the entire board, designate one or more committees, including an executive committee from among the members of the entire board. The board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any such committee who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the entire board which establishes it and permitted by Vermont law, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to any papers which may require it. Any director may be a member of more than one committee. The procedures to be followed by such committees with respect to quorum, voting and other such matters shall be the same as those specified for meetings of directors.

        Section 5. Telephone Meetings and Written Consents. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or committees thereof may be taken by telephone conference call, between at least a majority of the directors, or may also be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent to such action in writing and the writing or writings are filed in the minute book of the board or committee.

        Section 6. Vacancies and Newly-Created Directorships. If any vacancies occur on the Board of Directors by reason of the death, immediately effective resignation, retirement or removal from office of any director, the shareholders or all the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, may by a majority vote choose a successor or successors. Unless sooner displaced, the directors so chosen shall hold office until the election of their successors at the next annual meeting of shareholders. In the event that one or more directors tenders a resignation from the board effective at a future date, which date is prior to the next annual meeting of shareholders, the prospective vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by vote of a majority of shareholders or the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, including those who have so resigned. Such vote shall take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective and each director so chosen shall, unless sooner displaced, hold office until the due election and qualification of his successor at the next annual meeting of the shareholders. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose.

        Section 7. Place, Time and Notice of Meetings. The directors may hold their meetings in such place or places, within and without the State of Vermont, as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time, except that the directors shall hold at least one meeting annually within the State of Vermont. The Board of Directors shall meet each year immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders, for the purpose of organization, election of officers, and consideration of any other business that may properly come before the meeting. Other meetings of the directors shall be held at the call of the President or of the Secretary or of any one director. Notice of the date, time and place of directors’ meetings shall be given to each director or alternate director entitled thereto by letter, electronic mail or facsimile delivered for transmission not later than during the fifth day immediately preceding the day of the meeting. Such notice may be waived by a director in a writing signed either before or after the meeting for which such notice was required to be given, provided that such waiver of notice is inserted in the minute book, and shall be deemed waived by any director who attends the meeting for which such notice was required to be given, unless such attendance is for the express purpose of objecting to the holding of the meeting. Notice of a later meeting need not be given to any director who attended a prior meeting at which such later meeting was duly called and the time, date and place thereof announced. The provision of Article II Section 9 shall apply Mutatis Mutandis with respect to notices of meetings of Directors.

        Section 1. Amount Authorized. The amount of the authorized capital stock and the par value, if any, of the shares authorized shall be fixed in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time.

        Section 2. Stock Certificates. The shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate representing the shares of the Corporation owned by him, under the corporate seal or a facsimile thereof, in such form as may be prescribed from time to time by the directors. The certificate shall be signed by the President or a Vice-President, and by the Treasurer or the Secretary but when a certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or a registrar, other than the Corporation itself or an employee thereof, such signature may be facsimiles, engraved or printed. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the time of its issue. Every certificate representing the Corporation’s shares which are subject to any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, the By-laws or any agreement to which the Corporation is a party, shall have the restriction noted conspicuously on the certificate and shall also set forth on the face or back thereof either the full text of the restriction or a statement of the existence of such restriction and a statement that the Corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge. Every certificate representing the Corporation’s shares issued when the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of shares shall set forth on its face or back either the full text of the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special and relative rights of the shares of each class and series authorized to be issued or a statement of the existence of such preferences, powers, qualifications, and rights, and a statement that the Corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge.

        Section 3. Transfer. Subject to the restrictions, if any, stated or noted on the certificates, shares may be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the surrender to the corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate therefor properly endorsed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney pursuant to a written power of attorney properly executed, and with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the Secretary of the Corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require, if the Corporation has no notice of any adverse claim. Except as may be otherwise required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of shares as shown on its books as the owner of such shares for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer, pledge, or other disposition of such shares, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-laws. It shall be the duty of each shareholder to notify the Corporation of his mailing address.

        Section 4. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation shall issue a new certificate in the place of any certificate theretofore issued where the holder of record of the certificate satisfies the following requirements:

(a)         Claim. Makes proof in affidavit form that it has been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken; (b) Timely Request. Requests the issue of a new certificate before the Corporation has notice

  that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of any adverse claims;

  (c) Bond. Gives a bond in such form, and with such surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as the Corporation may direct, to indemnify the Corporation against any claims that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the certificates; and

  (d) Other Requirements. Satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Corporation. When a certificate has been lost, apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken and the holder of record fails to notify the Corporation within a reasonable time after he has notice of it, and the Corporation registers a transfer of the shares represented by this certificate before receiving such notification, the holder of record is precluded from making any claim against the Corporation for the transfer or for a new certificate.

        Section 5. Fractional Shares. Certificates representing fractional shares may be issued by the Corporation. No holder of any fractional share shall be entitled to any vote with respect thereto unless, and to the extent that, the holder or holders of fractional shares aggregating one or more full shares unite for the purpose of voting at any such meeting, in which case such holder or holders shall be entitled to one vote at such meeting for each full shares represented by the aggregate of such fractional shares held by such holder or holders.

        Section 6. Payment for Shares. The consideration for the issuance of shares may be paid, in whole or in part, in cash. When payment of the consideration for which shares are to be issued shall have been received by the Corporation such shares shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. Neither promissory notes nor future services shall constitute payment or part payment for the issuance of shares of the Corporation. In the absence of fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the value of the consideration received for shares shall be conclusive. No certificate shall be issued for any shares until the share is fully paid.

ARTICLE VI

Before declaring any dividend there may be set apart out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time in their discretion deem proper for working capital or as a reserve fund to meet contingencies or for equalizing dividends or for such other purposes as the directors shall deem conducive to the interests of the Corporation.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

        Section 1. Indemnification Policy. To the extent allowable by law, the Corporation shall indemnify its directors, and, by affirmative vote of a majority of its directors, may indemnify its officers, employees and agents, against any liability incurred by any of them in their capacity as such, in accordance with the provisions contained in this Article IX.

        Section 2. Third Party Suits. To the extent allowable by law, the Corporation shall indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to any pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than by action by or in the right of the Corporation) 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 director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such persons, as described above, in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she 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 no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, 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 he/she 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 his/her conduct was unlawful.

        Section 3. Derivative Actions. To the extent allowable by law, the Corporation shall indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to any pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor 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 expenses (including attorney’s fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided, however, 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his/her duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

        Section 4. Payment in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors and allowable by law in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX.

        Section 5. Non-exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, 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 person.

        Section 6. Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.

Indemnification

        Section 8.1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other than Those By or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, and to the extent allowable by law, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he/she acted in good faith, and, in a manner he/she 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 no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, 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 he/she 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 his/her conduct was unlawful.

        Section 8.2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings By or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, and to the extent allowable by law, 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 or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests 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 his/her duty to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

        Section 8.3. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as allowable by law and as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; or (iii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders. To the extent, however, that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he/she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

        Any determination made by the disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel under this section shall be promptly communicated to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation under Section 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII, and, within ten days after receipt of such notification, such persons shall have the right to petition the court (at the courts’ discretion) in which such action or suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.

        Section 8.4. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful, if his/her action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him/her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant, or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 8.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be.

        Section 8.5. Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

        Section 8.6. Expenses Payable in Advance. To the extent allowable by law, expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.

        Section 8.7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any other provision of these By-Laws, or similarly entitled under any agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his/her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by statute. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article VIII, but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of statute of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

        Section 8.8. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him/her and incurred by him/her in any such capacity, or arising out of his/her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him/her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

The OUCC neither filed nor offered any evidence at [*2] the hearing and no members of the general public appeared.

        Based upon the applicable law, the evidence presented and being duly advised in the premises, the Commission now finds as follows:

    1.        Commission Jurisdiction and Notice. Petitioner, PSI Energy, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Indiana with its principal place of business located in Plainfield, Indiana, and is engaged in the business of distributing, furnishing and selling retail electric service to the public in various counties in the State of Indiana, including Brown, Orange, Floyd, Clark and Lawrence Counties. Petitioner, Hoosier Energy, is a corporation organized and operating pursuant to the Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation Act, I.C. 8-1-13-1 et seq., with its principal place of business at P.O. Box 908, Bloomington, Indiana, and is engaged in the generation and transmission of electricity and the sale thereof to its members and interconnected parties in various counties in the State of Indiana, including Brown, Orange, Floyd, Clark and Lawrence Counties. Hoosier Energy has heretofore withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the Commission pursuant to the provisions [*3] of I.C. 8-1-13-18.5, but joins in this Petition in support of the relief sought by PSI Energy. PSI Energy is a “public utility” as such term is defined by I.C. 8-1-2-1(a), which is applicable to the subject matter of the Petition in this Cause and authorizes the Commission to proceed in this Cause. The relief sought is governed by I.C. 8-1-2-84. Therefore, the Commission has jurisdiction over PSI Energy and the subject matter in this Cause.

    2.        The Exchange Requested. The relief sought in this Cause is governed by I.C. 8-1-2-84 (c) and (e), and provides that electric utility land and facilities may be exchanged, i.e., bought and sold between public utilities, upon approval of the Commission.

        The Petitioners in this Cause have set forth the circumstances that they believe make the exchange of electric utility land and facilities in the public interest and in the best interest of both parties.

        The land and electric facilities to be sold, transferred and exchanged by PSI Energy to Hoosier Energy (“Facilities To Be Transferred To Hoosier Energy”) are more particularly described in Exhibits 1-A through 1-C of the Property Exchange Agreement attached to the Petition and consist [*4] of land located at the PSI Energy Bean Blossom Substation in Brown County, Indiana, the PSI Energy Orleans Roosevelt Road Substation located in Orange County, Indiana and the PSI Energy Grantline Road Substation located in Floyd County, Indiana.

        The land and electric facilities to be sold, transferred and exchanged by Hoosier Energy to PSI Energy (“Facilities To Be Transferred To PSI”) are more particularly described in Exhibit 1-D of the Property Exchange Agreement attached to Petition, and consist of the Hoosier Energy Nabb Substation located in Clark County, Indiana and the Hoosier Energy Williams Substation located in Lawrence County, Indiana.

        The total cost of the Facilities To Be Transferred To Hoosier Energy is $ 498,915. The total cost of the Facilities To Be Transferred To PSI Energy is $ 229,629, leaving a net payment to PSI Energy of $ 269,286.

        The book cost of the land and electric facilities to be sold and transferred by each party under the Property Exchange Agreement is not in excess of 5 percent of the book cost of all the properties, plants and businesses owned by either party at the time of the filing of this Petition.

        The Petitioners have conferred and discussed [*5] their respective service needs with regard to the Property Exchange Agreement and have agreed that such exchange should be made. The proposed exchange of land and electric facilities does not involve the transfer of any assigned service territory or customers. The evidence stated that the exchange of the land and electric facilities, as requested herein, is consistent with good utility practice and public convenience and necessity, will promote economical, efficient and adequate electrical service, and is consistent with the Legislative policy set forth in I.C. 8-1-2-84 (c) and (e).

    3.        Approval of Property Exchange Agreement. Based upon the foregoing, the Commission finds that the agreed-upon exchange of land and electric facilities should be approved as set forth in the Petition. As noted above, the proposed exchange of land and electric facilities does not involve the transfer of any assigned territory or customers between the parties.

        Based upon all of the above, we find that the relief requested in the Petition should be granted in all respects and that the exchange of land and electric facilities proposed therein and delineated on Exhibit A attached to the Petition should [*6] be approved.

        IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED BY THE INDIANA UTILITY REGULATORY COMMISSION that:

    1.        The exchange of land and electric facilities between PSI Energy and Hoosier Energy as set forth in the Petition filed in this Cause on September 10, 1999, including the net payment of $ 269,286 to PSI Energy, shall be and is hereby approved.

    2.        The Petitioners are authorized to take all steps, and to execute all instruments and papers, necessary or expedient for fully consummating and carrying out the provisions of the Petition.

    3.        This Order shall be effective on and after the date of its approval.

cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, 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 he/she 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 his/her conduct was unlawful.

        Section 8.2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings By or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, 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 or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests 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 his/her duty to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

        Section 8.3. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the shareholders. To the extent, however, that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he/she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

        Any determination made by the disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel under this section shall be promptly communicated to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation under Section 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII, and, within ten days after receipt of such notification, such persons shall have the right to petition the court (at courts’ discretion) in which such action or suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.


        Section 8.4. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable

cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful, if his/her action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him/her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant, or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 8.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be.

        Section 8.5. Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Indiana for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

        Section 8.6. Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.

        Section 8.7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any other provision of these By-Laws, or similarly entitled under any agreement, contract, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his/her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by statute. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article VIII, but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of statute of the State of Indiana, or otherwise.

        Section 8.8. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him/her and incurred by him/her in any such capacity, or arising out of his/her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him/her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

        Section 8.9. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he/she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation”, as referred to in this Article VIII.

        Section 8.10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.


        Section 8.11. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 8.5 hereof), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

        The Corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceedings to which he/she was a party because he/she was a director of the Corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him/her in connection with the proceeding.

        Section 8.12. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation, similar to those conferred in this Article VIII to directors and officers of the Corporation.

ARTICLE IX

Amendments

        Section 9.1. Amendments. These By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new By-Laws may be adopted: (i) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of record of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, or by the written consent of the holders of record of a two-thirds majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, except as such alteration, amendment or repeal by any vote or written consent of the shareholders is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute; or (ii) by a majority vote of the Board of Directors, or by unanimous written consent of the board, except as such alteration, amendment or repeal by any vote or action of the board is otherwise expressly prohibited by statute.

To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 10.1, the By-Laws of the Corporation shall remain in effect during any emergency, and upon its termination, the Emergency By-Laws shall cease to be operative. Any amendments to these Emergency By-Laws may make any further or different provision that may be practical and necessary for the circumstance of the emergency.

Notice of the time and place of the meeting or conference call shall be given by the person calling the meeting to such of the directors as it may be feasible to reach by any means of communication. Such notice shall be given at such time in advance of the meeting as circumstances permit in the judgment of the person calling the meeting; (B) the director or directors in attendance at the meeting shall constitute a quorum; (C) the officers or other persons designated on a list approved by the Board of Directors before the emergency, all in such order of priority and subject to such conditions and for such period of time (not longer than reasonably necessary after the termination of the emergency) as may be provided in the resolution approving the list, shall, to the extent required to provide a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors, be deemed the directors for such meeting; (D) the Board of Directors, either before or during any such emergency, may provide, and from time to time modify, lines of succession in the event that during such emergency any or all officers or agents of the Corporation shall for any reason be rendered incapable of discharging their duties; (E) the Board of Directors, either before or during any such emergency, may, effective in the emergency, change the head office or designate several alternative head offices or regional offices, or authorize the officers so to do; and (F) to the extent required to constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors during such an emergency, the officers of the Corporation who are present shall be deemed, in order of rank and within the same rank in order of seniority, the directors for such meeting.

        No officer, director or employee acting in accordance with any provision of these Emergency By-Laws shall be liable except for willful misconduct.

        These Emergency By-Laws shall be subject to alteration, amendment or repeal by the further actions of the Board of Directors or shareholders of the Corporation.

Shares of the Common Stock may be issued from time to time as the Board of Directors shall determine and on such terms and for such consideration as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors or a committee thereof to authorize the issue of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to determine and state, by the resolution or resolutions authorizing the issue of each series of Cumulative Preferred Stock, the designation of such series and the relative rights (other than voting rights), preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such series.

    B.        Voting Rights of Cumulative Preferred Stock.

    (a)        At all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation each record holder of Cumulative Preferred Stock having a par value of $100.00 per share shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock so held by him, subject, however, to the following provisions of this ARTICLE V (B);

    (b)        So long as any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock of any series are outstanding, the Corporation (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this subparagraph (b) shall not without, but may with, the affirmative vote by the record holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock (given at an annual or special meeting) in such number of votes as is at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes appertaining to the Cumulative Preferred Stock that would be voted at such meeting if all the then outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock were there voted:

    (I)        Create, authorize or issue shares of stock of any class ranking prior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends or assets or any securities of any kind or class convertible into shares of stock of any class ranking prior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends or assets; or

    (II)        Issue any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock or shares of stock of any class ranking on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends or assets or securities convertible into shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock or stock on a parity therewith, other than in exchange for or for the purpose of effecting the retirement, by redemption or otherwise, of not less than a like number of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock or shares of stock on a parity therewith or securities convertible into not less than a like number of such shares, as the case may be, at the time outstanding, unless:

    (A)        the Net Earnings of the Corporation Available for the Payment of Interest Charges for any twelve consecutive calendar months within the fifteen calendar months immediately preceding the month within which such additional shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock or shares of stock on a parity therewith or securities convertible into such shares are proposed to be issued, shall have been at least one and one-half times the aggregate of (x) the dividend requirements for a twelve months’ period upon all shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock and stock, if any, ranking prior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends or assets, to be outstanding after the issuance of the shares or convertible securities proposed to be issued, and (y) the interest requirements for a twelve months’ period upon all indebtedness of the Corporation to be outstanding after the issuance of the shares or convertible securities proposed to be issued, and

    (B)        the Common Stock Equity shall be not less than the aggregate amount payable on involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation upon all shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock and stock, if any, ranking prior thereto or on a parity therewith, to be outstanding after the issuance of the shares or convertible securities proposed to be issued; or

    (III)        Amend the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation so as to affect adversely any of the preferences or other rights hereby given to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, provided, however, that if any such amendment would be adverse to the holders of one or more, but less than all, of the series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the affirmative vote hereby required shall be only the affirmative vote by the record holders of each series so adversely affected in such number of votes from each such series as is at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes appertaining to such series that would be voted at such meeting if all the then outstanding shares of such series were there voted.

        No such consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect or when the issuance of any such stock or convertible securities is to be made, as the case may be, provision is to be made for the redemption of all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding or, in the case of any such amendment, alteration or repeal as to which the consent of less than all series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock would otherwise be required, for the redemption of all shares of the series of Cumulative Preferred Stock the consent of which would otherwise be required.

    (c)        So long as any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock of any series are outstanding, the Corporation (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this subparagraph (c)) shall not without, but may with, the affirmative vote by the record holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock (given at an annual or special meeting) in such number of votes as is a majority of the aggregate number of votes appertaining to the Cumulative Preferred Stock that would be voted at such meeting if all the then outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock were there voted, merge or consolidate the Corporation with or into any other corporation, merge any other corporation into the Corporation, or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, unless such merger, consolidation or sale, or the issuance or assumption of all securities to be issued or assumed in connection therewith, shall have been ordered, approved or permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, or by any successor commission or other regulatory authority of the United States having jurisdiction in the premises. No such consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required if, at the time of or prior to effecting such sale, lease, conveyance, consolidation or merger, provision is to be made for the redemption of all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

    (d)        Except when some mandatory provisions of law shall be controlling, whenever shares of two or more series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, no particular series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a separate series on any matter and all shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock of all series shall be deemed to constitute but one class for any purpose for which a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation by classes may now or hereafter be required.

    (e)        The Corporation shall not declare any dividend or make any distribution in request of any stock of this Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends or assets, other than dividends in shares of junior stock, or purchase or otherwise acquire for value any outstanding shares of junior stock (each such dividend, distribution, purchase or acquisition being herein called a junior stock dividend) in contravention of the following:

    (1)        If and so long as the Common Stock Equity at the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the date on which a dividend on the Common Stock is declared is, or as a result of such dividend would become, less than 20% of Total Capitalization, the Corporation shall not declare such dividends in an amount which, together with all other dividends on the Common Stock paid within the year ending with and including the date on which such dividend is payable, exceeds 50% of the Net Income of the Corporation Available for Dividends on the Common Stock for the twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the calendar month in which such dividends are declared, except in an amount not exceeding the aggregate of dividends on the Common Stock which under the restrictions set forth above in this subdivision (1) could have been, and have not been, declared; and

    (2)        If and so long as the Common Stock Equity at the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the date on which a dividend on Common Stock is declared is, or as a result of such dividend would become, less than 25% but not less than 20% of Total Capitalization, the Corporation shall not declare dividends on the Common Stock in an amount which, together with all other dividends on the Common Stock paid within the year ending with and including the date on which such dividend is payable, exceeds 75% of the Net Income of the Corporation Available for Dividends on the Common Stock for the twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the calendar month in which such dividends are declared, except in an amount not exceeding the aggregate of dividends on the Common Stock which under the restrictions set forth above in subdivision (1) and in this subdivision (2) could have been, and have not been, declared.

    (b)        As used herein, “Common Stock Equity” shall mean the aggregate of the par value of, or stated capital represented by, the outstanding shares of Common Stock, all earned surplus, capital or paid-in surplus, and any premiums on the Common Stock then carried on the books of the Corporation, less:

    (1)        The excess, if any, of the aggregate amount payable on involuntary liquidation of the Corporation upon all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation of all classes over the sum of (i) the aggregate par or stated value of such shares and (ii) any premiums thereon;

    (2)        Any amounts on the books of the Corporation known, or estimated if not known, to represent the excess, if any, of recorded value over original cost of used or useful utility plant; and

    (3)        Any intangible items set forth on the asset side of the balance sheet of the Corporation as the result of accounting convention, such as unamortized debt discount and expense; provided, however, that no deductions shall be required to be made in respect of items referred to in subdivisions (2) and (3) of this paragraph (b) in cases in which such items are being amortized or are provided for, or are being provided for, by reserves.

    (c)        As used herein “Total Capitalization” shall mean the aggregate of:

    (1)        The principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness of the Corporation maturing more than twelve months after the date of issue thereof; and

    (2)        The par value or stated capital represented by, and any premiums carried on the books of the Corporation in respect of, the outstanding shares of all classes of the capital stock of the Corporation, earned surplus, and capital or paid-in surplus, less any amounts required to be deducted pursuant to subdivisions (2) and (3) of paragraph (b) above in the determination of Common Stock Equity.

    (3)        The term “Net Income of the Corporation Available for Dividends on the Common Stock” for any twelve-month period shall mean the Net Earnings of the Corporation Available for the Payment of Interest Charges for such period, less interest charges, amortization charges, other proper income deductions, and dividends, paid or accrued, on all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation having a preference as to dividends over the Common Stock for such period, all as shall be determined in accordance with such system of accounts as may be prescribed by governmental authorities having jurisdiction in the premises or, in the absence thereof, in accordance with sound accounting practice.

    C.        Other Provisions.

    1.        No holder of any of the shares of any class or series of stock or securities convertible into such shares of any class or series of stock, or of options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire shares of any class or series of stock or of other securities of the Corporation shall have any preemptive right to purchase, acquire or subscribe for any unissued stock of any class or series or any additional shares of any class or series to be issued by reason of any increase of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation of any class or series, or bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock of any class or series, or carrying any right to purchase or acquire stock of any class or series, but any such unissued stock, additional authorized issue of shares of any class or series of stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock, or carrying any right to purchase or acquire stock, may be issued and disposed of pursuant to resolution of the Board of Directors to such persons, firms, corporations or associations, and upon such terms as may be deemed advisable by the Board of Directors in the exercise of its sole discretion.

    2.        The Corporation reserves the right to increase or decrease its authorized capital stock, or any class of series thereof, or to reclassify the same and to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, or in any amendment thereto, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, but subject to such conditions and limitations as are hereinbefore prescribed, and all rights conferred upon shareholders in the Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation, or any amendment thereto, are granted subject to this reservation.

    3.        Unless any statute of the State of Indiana shall expressly provide to the contrary and subject to the limitations hereinbefore set forth in this ARTICLE V, the Corporation may acquire, hold and dispose of any shares of its stock of any class heretofore issued and outstanding.

ARTICLE VI

Directors

        The number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined in accordance with the By-laws of the Corporation. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, age and service limitations as may be set forth in the By-laws, disqualification or removal from office. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from other than an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. The term of any director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall expire at the next shareholders’ meeting at which directors are elected, and the remainder of such term, if any, shall be filled by a director elected at such meeting.

        No person shall be eligible for election, reelection, or appointment as a member of the Board of Directors if such person shall have attained the age of seventy years in the calendar year preceding the date of such election, reelection or appointment.

Such right of indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which such director or officer may be entitled under any now or hereafter existing statute, any other provision of these Articles, By-laws, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise. If the Act of the State of Indiana is amended after approval by the shareholders of this ARTICLE VIII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Act of the State of Indiana, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this ARTICLE VIII by the shareholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
