In accordance with an undertaking made by EMI in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remained unsold at the termination of the offering, EMI hereby removes from registration any of its first mortgage bonds registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the filing date of this Post-Effective Amendment.

This Post-Effective Amendment is separately filed by Entergy, EAI, ELL, EMI, ETI and SERI on a combined basis. As to each registrant, the Registration Statement consists solely of the prospectus of such registrant (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) other than EMI, which is deregistering its unsold first mortgage bonds, and the information set forth in Part II of the Registration Statement that is applicable to such registrant.
