Item 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


     Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt a provision in
its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the
personal liability of a director, but not an officer in his or
her capacity as such, to the corporation or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except that such provision shall not limit the liability of a
director for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its shareholders, (2) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3) liability under section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law for unlawful payment of dividends or
stock purchases or redemptions, or (4) any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Entergy's
certificate of incorporation provides that to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, no
director of Entergy's shall be personally liable to Entergy or
its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director.

     Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person
made a party or threatened to be made a party to any type of
proceeding, other than action by or in the right of the
corporation, because he or she is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the
request of the corporation as an officer, director, employee or
agent of another corporation or entity against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding:  (1) if
he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation; or (2) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he or
she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful.  A corporation may indemnify any person made a
party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action or suit brought by or in the right of the
corporation because he or she was an officer, director, 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 or other entity, against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with such action or suit if
he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, provided that such indemnification will be
denied if the person is found liable to the corporation unless,
in such a case, the court determines the person is entitled to
indemnification for such expenses in any event.  A corporation
must indemnify a present or former director or officer who
successfully defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which
he or she was a party because he or she was a director or officer
of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her.  Expenses incurred by an officer or
director, or any employees or agents as deemed appropriate by the
board of directors, in defending civil or criminal proceedings
may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such proceedings 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 or she is not entitled
to be indemnified by the corporation.  The Delaware law regarding
indemnification and expense advancement is not exclusive of any
other rights which may be granted by Entergy Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, a vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, agreement or otherwise.

     Under Delaware General Corporation Law, termination of any
proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such
person is prohibited from being indemnified.

     The Entergy Certificate of Incorporation provides for the
indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent
permitted by law to any director or officer.  However, Entergy
will not indemnify a director or officer who commences any
proceeding, unless the commencement of that proceeding is
approved by the board of directors.

     Entergy has insurance covering expenditures that might arise
in connection with our lawful indemnification of our directors
and officers for certain liabilities and expenses.   Entergy's
directors and officers also have the benefit of insurance against
certain other liabilities and expenses.

Item 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

(a)       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                    (1)  To file, during any period in which
               offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
               amendment to the registration statement:

                    (i)  To include any prospectus required by
               Section 10 (a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
               events arising after the effective date of this
               registration statement (or the most recent post-
               effective amendment thereof) which, individually
               or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
               change in the information set forth in this
               registration statement.  Notwithstanding the
               foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
               securities offered (if the total dollar value of
               securities offered would not exceed that which was
               registered) and any deviation from the low or high
               and of the estimated maximum offering range may be
               reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
               Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) of the
               Securities Act of 1933 if, in the aggregate, the
               changes in volume and price represent no more than
               20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
               offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
               Registration Fee" table in the effective
               registration statement;

               (iii)     To include any material information with
               respect to the plan of distribution not previously
               disclosed in this registration statement or any
               material change to such information in the
               registration statement;

          provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
          paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
          information required to be included in a post-effective
          amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
          the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 (d)
          of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
          incorporated by reference in this registration
          statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
          under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
          effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
          registration statement relating to the securities
          offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
          offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-
          effective amendment any of the securities being
          registered which remain unsold at the termination of
          the offering.

(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
     purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
     pursuant to Section 13 (a) or 15 (d) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of
     an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
     15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
     incorporated by reference in the registration statement
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
     to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
     securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
     officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant
     to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
     has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
     unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
     indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
     payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
     director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in
     the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
     asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
     connection with the securities being registered, the
     registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to
     a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
     such indemnification by it is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
     adjudication of such issue.


                        POWER OF ATTORNEY

          Each director and officer of the issuer whose signature

severally,  as its attorney-in-fact with like authority  to  sign
and file such amendments in its name and behalf.

Item 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt a provision in
its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the
personal liability of a director, but not an officer in his or
her capacity as such, to the corporation or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except that such provision shall not limit the liability of a
director for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its shareholders, (2) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3) liability under section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law for unlawful payment of dividends or
stock purchases or redemptions, or (4) any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Entergy's
certificate of incorporation provides that to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, no
director of Entergy's shall be personally liable to Entergy or
its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director.

     Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person
made a party or threatened to be made a party to any type of
proceeding, other than action by or in the right of the
corporation, because he or she is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the
request of the corporation as an officer, director, employee or
agent of another corporation or entity against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding:  (1) if
he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation; or (2) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he or
she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful.  A corporation may indemnify any person made a
party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action or suit brought by or in the right of the
corporation because he or she was an officer, director, 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 or other entity, against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with such action or suit if
he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, provided that such indemnification will be
denied if the person is found liable to the corporation unless,
in such a case, the court determines the person is entitled to
indemnification for such expenses in any event.  A corporation
must indemnify a present or former director or officer who
successfully defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which
he or she was a party because he or she was a director or officer
of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her.  Expenses incurred by an officer or
director, or any employees or agents as deemed appropriate by the
board of directors, in defending civil or criminal proceedings
may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such proceedings 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 or she is not entitled
to be indemnified by the corporation.  The Delaware law regarding
indemnification and expense advancement is not exclusive of any
other rights which may be granted by Entergy Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, a vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, agreement or otherwise.

     Under Delaware General Corporation Law, termination of any
proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such
person is prohibited from being indemnified.

     The Entergy Certificate of Incorporation provides for the
indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent
permitted by law to any director or officer.  However, Entergy
will not indemnify a director or officer who commences any
proceeding, unless the commencement of that proceeding is
approved by the board of directors.

     Entergy has insurance covering expenditures that might arise
in connection with our lawful indemnification of our directors
and officers for certain liabilities and expenses.   Entergy's
directors and officers also have the benefit of insurance against
certain other liabilities and expenses.

Item 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

(a)       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                    (1)  To file, during any period in which
               offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
               amendment to the registration statement:

                    (i)  To include any prospectus required by
               Section 10 (a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
               events arising after the effective date of this
               registration statement (or the most recent post-
               effective amendment thereof) which, individually
               or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
               change in the information set forth in this
               registration statement.  Notwithstanding the
               foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
               securities offered (if the total dollar value of
               securities offered would not exceed that which was
               registered) and any deviation from the low or high
               and of the estimated maximum offering range may be
               reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
               Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) of the
               Securities Act of 1933 if, in the aggregate, the
               changes in volume and price represent no more than
               20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
               offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
               Registration Fee" table in the effective
               registration statement;

               (iii)     To include any material information with
               respect to the plan of distribution not previously
               disclosed in this registration statement or any
               material change to such information in the
               registration statement;

          provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
          paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
          information required to be included in a post-effective
          amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
          the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 (d)
          of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
          incorporated by reference in this registration
          statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
          under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
          effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
          registration statement relating to the securities
          offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
          offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-
          effective amendment any of the securities being
          registered which remain unsold at the termination of
          the offering.

(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
     purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
     pursuant to Section 13 (a) or 15 (d) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of
     an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
     15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
     incorporated by reference in the registration statement
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
     to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
     securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
     officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant
     to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
     has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
     unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
     indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
     payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
     director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in
     the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
     asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
     connection with the securities being registered, the
     registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to
     a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
     such indemnification by it is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
     adjudication of such issue.

                        POWER OF ATTORNEY

          Each director and officer of the issuer whose signature
appears  below  hereby appoints Nathan E. Langston  and  John  M.

Nathan  E.  Langston and John M. Adams, Jr.,  and  each  of  them
severally,  as its attorney-in-fact with like authority  to  sign
and file such amendments in its name and behalf.

                           SIGNATURES
