(1)(b)
" Entity" means person, a private or public corporation, governmental agency, an association, a joint stock association, business trust, municipality, or rural electric cooperative owning, operating, or proposing to own or operate equipment facilities for the generation, transmission, or distribution of electricity primarily for sale or resale to the public.
Provided, that, except for municipalities, governmental agencies, or rural electric cooperatives, " entity" is further restricted to those which are or will be public utilities under the laws of the State in which the entity transacts or will transact business or under the Federal Power Act, and are or-will be providing electric service under a contract or rate schedule on file with and subject to the regulation of a State l
regulatory commission or the Federal Power Commission.
(1)(c)
" Cost" means all operating and maintenance expenses and ownership and capital costs properly allocable to the-particular transaction.
" Cost" to be shared by participants under paragraph (9) shall include all costs of acquisition, construction, ownership, capital, operation, and maintenance reasonably allocable to the subject unit.
Costs shall include no value for loss of revenues from sale of power at wholesale or retail by one party to a customer which another party might otherwise serve, except as otherwise authorized by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction. Costs shall include a reasonable return on Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s investment.
l (2) Entergy Gulf States, Inc. shall interconnect with and coordinate reserves by means of the sale and purchase of emergency and/or scheduled maintenance bulk power with any entity (ies) in or within reasonable proximity to Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s service area in Louisiana l
engaging in or proposing to engage in electric bulk' power supply on terms that will provide for Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s costs in connection l
therewith and allow the other entity (ies) full access to'the benefits and-obligations of reserve coordination.
Amendment No. 88
l l j
(3) Such emergency service and/or scheduled maintenance service to be provided by each entity shall be furnished to the fullest extent available from the supplying entity and desired by the entity in need.
Entergy Gulf States, Inc. and each entity (ies) shall provide to the other l such emergency service and/or scheduled maintenance service if and when available from its own geneution and from generation of others to the extent it can do so without impairing service to its customers including j
other electric systems to whom it has firm commitments.
1 (4)
Entergy Gulf States, Inc. and.the other entity (ies) which is (are) l party (ies) to a reserve sharing arrangement shall from time to time jointly establish the minimum reserves to be installed and/or provided as necessary to maintain in total a reserve margin sufficient to provide l
adequate reliability of power supply to Qa interconnected systems of the i
parties, consistent with good utility isdm.try practice in the region.
with other regional companies, the reserves jointly established hereunder If Entergy Gulf States, Inc. plans its reserve margin on a pooled basis shall be on the same basis.
Unless otherwise agreed upon or established by such regional practice, minimum reserves shall be calculated as a percentage of estimated peak-load responsibility.
No party to the arrangement shall be required to maintain greater reserves than the percentage of its estimated peak-load responsibility which results from the aforesaid calculation; provided that if the reserve requirements of Entergy Gulf States, Inc. are increased over the i
amount Entergy Gulf States, Inc. would be required to maintain without such interconnection, then the other. party (ies) shall be required to carry or provide for as its (their) reserves the full amount in kilowatts of such increase.
(5) The entities which are parties to such a reserve sharing agreement shall provide such amounts of ready reserve capacity as may be adequate to avoid the imposition of unreasonable demands on the others in meeting the normal contingencies of operating its system. However, in no circumstances shall the ready reserve requirement exceed the installed reserve requirement.

- costs to or purchase (when needed) bulk power from any other entity (ies) in or within reasonable proximity to Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s service l area in Louisiana engaging in or proposing to engage in generation of electric power at such entity (ies) cost when such transactions would serve to reduce the overall costs of new such bulk. power supply, each for itself and for the other party (ies) to the. transactions and would serve to coordinate the planning of new generation, transmission, and related facilities by both Entergy Gulf States, Inc. and the other entity. This provision shall not be construed to require Entergy Gulf States, Inc. to purchase or sell bulk power if it finds such purchase or sale infeasible or its costs in connection with such purchase or sale would exceed its benefits therefrom.
(9) Entergy Gulf States, Inc. and any successor in title, shall offer an l
opportunity to participate in River Bend Station, Unit 1 for the term of the instant license, or any extensions or renewals thereof, or such term as Entergy Gulf States, Inc. and the participant (s) may mutually agree upon, to any entity (ies) in or within reasonable proximity to Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s service area in the State of Louisiana which has in writing requested participation therein prior to March 1, 1974, and which no later than March 31, 1975 has entered into an executory contract with-respect to such participation, having taken all necessary action for it to lawfully do so prior to so doing, to a fair and reasonable extent and on reasonable terms and conditions and on a basis that fully compensate Entergy Gulf States, Inc. for its costs incurred and to be incurred and l

(10) Entergy Gulf States, Inc. shall facilitate the exchange of bulk power by l transmission over its transmission facilities between two or more entities engaging in bulk power supply in its service area in Louisiana with which it is interconnected; and between any such entity (ies) and any entity (ies) engaging in bulk power supply outside Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s service area in Louisiana between whose facilities Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s transmission lines and other transmission lines would form Amendment No. 88
. a continuous electrical path; provided that (i) permission to utilize such other transmission lines has been obtained by the entities involved; (ii) Entergy Gulf States, Inc. has appropriate agreements for transmission service with the entities interconnected with Entergy Gulf States, Inc. at both the receiving and delivery points on Entergy Gulf States,.Inc.'s system; and (iii) the arrangements reasonably can be accommodated from a functional and technical standpoint.

interconnected in the future as well as those to which it is now interconnected.)
(11) Entergy Gulf States, Inc. shall include in its planning and construction l program sufficient transmission capacity as required for the transactions referred to in paragraph (10); provided, that any entity (ies) in its service area in Louisiana gives Entergy Gulf States, Inc. sufficient l
advance notice as may be naassary to accommodate its (their) requirements from a functional and technical standpoint and that such
. entity (ies) fully compensate Entergy Gulf States, Inc. for its cost.
Entergy Gulf States, Inc. shall not be required to construct transmission facilities which will be of no demonstrable present or future benefit'to Entergy Gulf States, Inc.
l (12) Entergy Gulf States, Inc. will sell power (when available) for resale to l any entity (ies) in its service area in Louisiana now engaging in or proposing in good faith to engage-in retail distribution of electric power, whenever power to meet the needs of such entity (ies) is not available form alternate sources at competitive costs.
(13) The foregoing conditions shall be in all respects implemented on reasonable terms and conditions in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Federal Power Act and other applicable Federal and State laws and' regulatory orders, and shall be subject to force majeure, applicable curtailment programs, and engineering and technical feasibility for Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s system. None of the foregoing conditions shall require Entergy Gulf States, Inc. to sell power, perform any service, or engage in any course of action on a basis which would be unlawfully preferential or discriminatory under any applicable law or that would impair Entergy Gulf States, Inc.'s ability l
to render adequate and reliable service to its own customers. All rates, charges or practices in connection therewith are to te subject to the i
approval of regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over them.
