2001, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed February 14, 2001, and amended and
restated in its entirety by Amendment No.2, filed October 11, 2001, is hereby
further amended as follows:
The second paragraph of Item 1.4 - Other Related Matters is amended and
---------------------
restated to read as follows:
"IESU and IPC are also currently authorized to issue and sell long-term
secured and unsecured debt securities from time to time through June 30, 2004.
IESU is authorized to issue and sell in one or more transactions any combination
of collateral trust bonds, senior unsecured debentures, and unsecured
subordinated debentures, and to enter into agreements with respect to tax-exempt
bonds, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed
$200 million. See File No. 70-9375; Holding Co. Act Release Nos. 26945 (Nov. 25,
1998) and 27306 (Dec. 15, 2000). IPC is authorized to issue and sell in one or
more transactions any combination of first mortgage bonds, senior unsecured
debentures, and unsecured subordinated debentures, and to enter into agreements
with respect to tax-exempt bonds, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed $80 million. See File No. 70-9377; Holding Co. Act
Release Nos. 26946 (Nov. 25, 1998) and 27305 (Dec. 15, 2000). Following the
Merger, it is proposed that IESU's long-term debt limitation in File No. 70-9375
be increased to $300 million.1 All other terms, conditions and limitations on
IESU's authorization in File No. 70-9375 will continue to apply without change.
Except in accordance with a further order of the Commission, IESU will not issue
any long-term debt unless such securities are rated at the investment grade
level as established by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, as that term is used in paragraphs (c)(2)(vi)(E), (F) and (H) of
Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is requested that the
Commission reserve jurisdiction over the issuance by IESU of any such securities
that are rated below investment grade."
--------
1 IPC's authorization in File No. 70-9377 will expire effective upon its
merger into IESU.
