CHARTER

The Charter allowing hunting privilegeson Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C., (Entergy)
propertywas granted on October19, 1990, and will remain in force uninterrupted unless
rescinded by the Vice President, River Bend Station (reference: letter, J.C. Deddens to J. Fullerton, dated
10/19/90). Deer hunting was recommended by Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries District VII Game Supervisor
based on APC parasite studies done in 1988 & 1989 which documented severe overpopulation of the deer
herd with many deer testing positive for Bluetongue or EHD virus
(reference: letter to G. Alan Bysfield from LDWF, dated 7/31/90 with attached parasite study
results). Fishing on the lakes and pondson the Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. property
was allowed beginning May 1,1994. No fishing allowed during deer hunting season. (The only
exclusion is the pond on Hwy 61 acrossfrom the Entergy Center.)
This Charter is extended to allow permanent, full time (includes those on temporary leave of

harvesting of deer and turkey on River Bend Station (RBS) property in accordance with memo
