SERVICE AGREEMENT
This Service Agreement ("Agreement"), dated as of March 2, 2000, is entered
into by and between ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATE SERVICES, INC. as agent for
Wisconsin Power and Light Company (collectively "ALLIANT ENERGY") and
CARGILL-ALLIANT, LLC ("CUSTOMER") for the sale of electric capacity and energy
from ALLIANT ENERGY to CUSTOMER (hereinafter referred to as "Transaction" or
"Transactions"). This Agreement is made pursuant to ALLIANT ENERGY's
Market-Based Wholesale Power Sales Tariff (MR-1), FERC Electric Tariff No.
ER99-230-000.
Each Transaction hereunder will be carried out under the terms and
conditions as agreed upon by ALLIANT ENERGY and CUSTOMER in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Market-Based Wholesale Power Sales Tariff (MR-1) and
the Market-Based Wholesale Power Sales Schedules. In addition, ALLIANT ENERGY
and CUSTOMER (also referred to as "PARTIES") agree to the following terms and
conditions:
1. ALLIANT ENERGY will use the following pricing mechanism that will permit
it to sell power to CUSTOMER in a manner that eliminates the potential for
affiliate abuse. Several discrete markets exist within the general market for
electric capacity and energy: an hourly market; a next-day market; a
balance-of-the-week/next-week/balance-of-the-month market; and a forward market.
ALLIANT ENERGY proposes to sell electric capacity and energy to CUSTOMER at
prices that accurately reflect market conditions in each of these market
segments, but for material Transactions, in no case will sales be made to
CUSTOMER at prices less than the highest bid instantaneously available to
ALLIANT ENERGY.
a. HOURLY MARKET: At present, no commercial service compiles and reports
real-time hourly prices in the Midwestern markets in which ALLIANT ENERGY
and CUSTOMER transact. As part of its normal bulk power trading operations,
ALLIANT ENERGY will continue to survey and compile real-time hourly price
information from a sample of representative utilities in the Midwest
region. From the market information compiled, ALLIANT ENERGY will document
the high and low price range for each hour in the day. This information
will provide market reference points in the absence of independently
published pricing indices. When ALLIANT ENERGY sells electric capacity and
energy to CUSTOMER, the price of the Transaction will be within the high
and low range for the given hour, and for Transactions with a total hourly
value greater than $20,000 will be no less than the highest bid
instantaneously available to ALLIANT ENERGY. In essence, there will be a
higher standard for more material (i.e., greater than $20,000)
Transactions. For Transactions exceeding $20,000, ALLIANT ENERGY will not
sell to CUSTOMER without securing at least three competing and
instantaneously available bids and in those cases may only sell to CUSTOMER
when its bid is greater than or equal to the highest bid instantaneously
available. For all Transactions greater than $20,000, all instantaneously
available bids, appropriately adjusted for basis and contractual
differences, will be documented including the chosen bid. For Transactions
less than $20,000 for a given hour, ALLIANT ENERGY traders will be allowed
to rely on general market conditions to make sales to all parties,
including CUSTOMER, without securing competing and instantaneously
available bids. In the case of sales to the latter, in no case will the
sales be less than the lowest price bid by a non-affiliated party for the
given hour in question.
b. NEXT-DAY MARKET: As part of its normal bulk power trading operations,
ALLLANT ENERGY will continue to survey and compile next-day price
information from a sample of representative utilities in the Midwest
region. In particular, ALLIANT ENERGY will compile pricing quotes from the
Com-Ed hub and/or physical price quotes from MAPP/MAIN, or their
successors, each obtained through bidding surveys of utilities and energy
marketers/brokers operating in those markets. From the market information
compiled, ALLIANT ENERGY will document the high and low price range for the
next-day market. This information will provide market reference points in
the absence of independently published pricing indices. When ALLIANT ENERGY
sells next-day electric capacity and energy to CUSTOMER, the price of the
Transaction will be within the high and low range, and for Transactions
with a total next-day value greater than $50,000 will be no less than the
highest bid instantaneously available to ALLIANT ENERGY. In essence, there
will be a higher standard for more material (i.e., greater than $50,000)
Transactions. For Transactions exceeding $50,000, ALLIANT ENERGY will not
sell to CUSTOMER without securing at least three competing and
instantaneously available bids and in those cases may only sell to CUSTOMER
when its bid is greater than or equal to the highest bid instantaneously
available. For all Transactions greater than $50,000, all instantaneously
available bids, appropriately adjusted for basis and contractual
differences, will be documented including the chosen bid. For all
Transactions less than $50,000 for a given day, ALLIANT ENERGY traders will
be allowed to rely on general market conditions to make sales to all
parties, including CUSTOMER, without securing competing and instantaneously
available bids. In the case of sales to the latter, in no case will the
sales be less than the lowest price bid by a non-affiliated party for the
given day in question.
c. BALANCE-OF-WEEK/NEXT-WEEK/BALANCE-OF-MONTH MARKET: In connection with the
balance-of-week/next-week/balance-of-month market, the PARTIES will use the
same methodology used for the next-day market.
d. FORWARD MARKET: In connection with forward market (i.e., Transactions
beyond balance-of-month market), the PARTIES will use the same methodology
used for the next-day market. The only exception is that forward price
indices as published by the New York Mercantile Exchange (in particular the
Cinergy hub) will be used as a price reference point, in addition to Com-Ed
hub price quotes and the MAPP/MAIN physical price quotes that will be
obtained through the bidding surveys described in the above paragraph "b"
relating to the next-day market. The Cinergy hub price will be
appropriately adjusted to include any transmission expenses or other
relevant market data to account for basis and contractual differences
between markets. All other criteria as described in the above paragraph "b"
will be implemented for this market.
2. The PARTIES will make available to the Public Service Commission of
Wisconsin ("Commission") all off-system sales that occur contemporaneously with
customer interruptions.
3. The Standard of Conduct contained in Appendix A, which is incorporated
herein fully by reference, will be followed by the PARTIES for each Transaction.
4. PARTIES will ensure that the Commission is copied on all filings that
ALLIANT ENERGY makes to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") as
required by FERC's order approving the Transaction.
5. PARTIES will ensure that the Commission is copied on CUSTOMER'S
quarterly filing to the FERC which reports transactions with affiliates.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ALLIANT ENERGY and CUSTOMER have caused this Service
Agreement to be executed by their respective authorized officials as of the date
first above written.

STATEMENT OF POLICY AND
CODE OF CONDUCT
The following Statement of Policy and Code of Conduct will govern the
relationship among Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. ("Alliant Service");
the Alliant Energy ("AEC") Operating Companies (Note 3); Alliant Services' power
marketer affiliates, Heartland Energy Services, Inc., and Cargill-Alliant, LLC;
and any other affiliates of Alliant Services that may be authorized by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") to engage in sales for resale of
energy and capacity at market-based rates (the "Marketing Affiliates"). For
purposes of this Statement of Policy and Standards of Conduct, the
jurisdictional public utility affiliates of Cargill-Alliant are considered to
consist of Wisconsin Power & Light Company ("WP&L"), South Beloit Water, Gas &
Electric Company ("SBWGE"), lES Utilities, Inc. ("IES"), and Alliant Power
Company ("IPC") (collectively, "the AEC Companies").
It is the policy of the AEC Companies that the business activities of
Cargill-Alliant will not be subsidized by the AEC Companies' utility customers.
To this end, the business activities of Cargill-Alliant will be conducted
separately from the AEC Companies' utility operations.
It is the AEC Companies' policy that there will be no preferential
treatment with respect to wholesale power transactions in favor of
Cargill-Alliant's business activities so as to confer an unfair competitive
advantage on Cargill-Alliant with respect to its competitors.
1. Alliant Services and AEC Operating Companies will not, either through its
policies or procedures, provide the Marketing Affiliates with any undue
preference over non-affiliated customers. No Alliant Services employee or
any AEC Operating Company employee will state or will imply that undue
preferential treatment will be available to any customer as a result of
such customer's affiliation with any of the Marketing Affiliates.
2. The books, records, and accounts of the AEC Companies will be maintained
separately from those of Cargill-Alliant.
3. AEC Companies' employees who operate the AEC Companies' system or engage in
power purchasing or selling on behalf of the AEC Companies will be
physically, operationally, and functionally separate from Cargill-Alliant
employees performing power-marketing activities.
4. All personnel of Alliant Services and the AEC Operating Companies will
abide by the Standards of Conduct for Public Utilities established by FERC
in Order 889 and Order 889-A, as codified at 18 CFR sub-section 37.1-37.4.
Note 3: The Alliant Energy Operating Companies are wholly-owned public
utility company subsidiaries of Alliant Energy Corporation. They are IES
Utilities, Inc.; Interstate Power Company; and Wisconsin Power & Light Company.
Alliant Services is authorized to serve as agent for the AEC Operating Companies
for the sale or of electric energy and/or electric capacity.
Appendix A
5. No employees of Alliant Services or any AEC Operating Company will share
market information with any employee of a Marketing Affiliate unless all
such information is simultaneously made available to the public. This
policy will not apply to market information known to be publicly available,
or to market information disclosed to employees of a Marketing Affiliate,
Alliant Services, or the AEC Operating Companies who are engaged in support
functions, including human resources, information resources, data
processing, finance, legal, accounting, and other support personnel who are
not responsible for directing, organizing and executing the business
decisions of the wholesale merchant or generation functions of Alliant
Services and the Marketing Affiliates, provided that such employees are
prohibited from acting as conduits to pass market information obtained from
Alliant Services, the AEC Operating Companies, or a Marketing Affiliate to
the other.
