Explanation of Responses:

(1) One-third of these options will vest on each of the first three anniversary dates of the grant. These options were acquired under Entergy's Equity Ownership Plan.
(2) These represent restricted phantom stock units under the Company's 2000-2002 Long Term Incentive Plan. On January 30, 2003 the Personnel Committee of the Board declared a pay-out of 3,700 units to the filing individual, who chose to defer 25% of the value of the units into phantom Entergy units (925 units) held in a brokerage account, receiving the value of the remaining 2775 units in cash. The deferral is until the earlier of January 2, 2005 or retirement from the Company.
