SECTION 1. There is hereby created one series of bonds (the “IQ Notes”) designated as hereinabove provided, which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond”, and the form thereof shall be substantially as hereinbefore set forth. The IQ Notes shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000, shall mature on April 15, 2035 and shall be issued only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. The serial numbers of the IQ Notes shall be such as may be approved by any officer of the Company, the execution thereof by any such officer either manually or by facsimile signature to be conclusive evidence of such approval.

The IQ Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Bonds in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the global securities legend (each, a “Global Bond”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Bonds represented thereby with the Trustee, at its corporate trust office, as securities custodian (or with such other securities custodian as the Depository (as defined below) may direct), and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Bonds may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided. The Depositary for the Global Bonds shall be The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation, or its duly appointed successor (the “Depository”). This Section 2.01 shall apply only to a Global Bond deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in the case of each of the IQ Notes in accordance with this Section 2.01, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Bonds that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instructions or held by the Trustee as securities custodian.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Bond held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the securities custodian or under such Global Bond, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Bond for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Bond.

Except as provided in this Section 2.01, Section 2.02 or Section 2.03, owners of beneficial interests in Global Bonds shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Bonds.

2.02 Transfer and Exchange .

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Bonds .

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Bonds or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.03), a Global Bond may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

(b)  Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Bond . At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Bond have either been exchanged for certificated Bonds, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Bond shall be canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Bond is exchanged for certificated Bonds, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Bonds represented by such Global Bond shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the securities custodian with respect to such Global Bond.

(c) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Bonds .

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate certificated Bonds and Global Bonds at the security registrar’s request.

(ii) No service charge shall be made for registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

(iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Bond, the Company, the Trustee, the paying agent or the security registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Bond is registered as the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the paying agent or the security registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(iv) All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(d) No Obligation of Trustee .

(i) The Trustee (whether in its capacity as Trustee or otherwise) shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Bond, Agent Member or other person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Bonds. All notices and communications to be given to the holders and all payments to be made to holders under the Bonds shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Bond). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Bond shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners.

(ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Bond (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Bond) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture.

2.03 Certificated Bonds .

(a) A Global Bond deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as securities custodian pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Bond, in exchange for such Global Bond, only if such transfer complies with this Section 2.03 and the conditions set forth in Article II of the Indenture.

(b) Any Global Bond that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee at its corporate trust office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Bond, an equal aggregate principal amount of certificated Bonds of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Bond transferred pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(b), the registered holder of a Global Bond shall be entitled to grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Bonds.

The IQ Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time or from time to time on or after April 15, 2010, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus unpaid accrued interest to the redemption date.

If notice of redemption is given as aforesaid, the IQ Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price together with any accrued interest thereon, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) the IQ Notes shall cease to bear interest. If any IQ Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at a rate of 5.65% per annum. Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including without limitation, United States federal securities laws), the Company or its affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, purchase outstanding IQ Notes by tender, in the open market or by private agreement; provided, however, the Company may not use any purchased IQ Notes as a credit against any redemption obligation.

SECTION 3.02. Redemption at the Holder’s Option. For purposes of this Section 3.02 a “Beneficial Owner” means the person who has the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in the IQ Notes and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as the interest and principal payable to the holder thereof. In general, a determination of beneficial ownership in the IQ Notes will be subject to the rules, regulations and procedures governing the depositary and institutions that have accounts with the depositary or a nominee thereof (the “ Participants ” ).

Unless the IQ Notes have been declared due and payable prior to their maturity by reason of a default (as defined in the Indenture), the personal representative or other person authorized to represent the estate of the deceased Beneficial Owner or from a surviving joint tenant(s) or tenant(s) by the entirety or the trustee of a trust (each, a “Representative”) of a deceased Beneficial Owner has the right to request redemption prior to the stated maturity of all or part of such deceased Beneficial Owner’s interest, expressed in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, in the IQ Notes, and the Company will redeem the same subject to the limitations that the Company will not be obligated to redeem, during the period from April 13, 2005 through and including April 15, 2006 (the “Initial Period”), and during any twelve-month period which ends on and includes each April 15 thereafter (each such twelve-month period being hereinafter referred to as a “Subsequent Period”), (i) on behalf of a deceased Beneficial Owner any interest in the IQ Notes which exceeds an aggregate principal amount of $35,000 (the “Individual Limitation”) or (ii) interests in the IQ Notes in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $3,000,000 (the “Annual Limitation”). Representatives of deceased Beneficial Owners must make arrangements with the Participant through whom such interest is owned in order that timely presentation of redemption requests can be made by the Participant to the Trustee. The Trustee shall maintain records with respect to such redemption requests received by it including date of receipt, the name of the Participant filing the redemption request and the status of each such redemption request with respect to the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation. The Trustee shall immediately file each redemption request it receives, together with the information regarding the eligibility thereof with respect to the Individual Limitation and Annual Limitation, with the Company. The depositary, the Trustee and the Company may conclusively assume, without independent investigation, that the statements contained in each redemption request are true and correct and shall have no responsibility for reviewing any documents submitted to the Participant by the Representative or for determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the Beneficial Owner of the Interest in the IQ Notes to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the Representative is duly authorized to request redemption on behalf of the applicable Beneficial Owner.

Subject to the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation, the Company will, after the death of any Beneficial Owner, redeem the interest of such Beneficial Owner in the IQ Notes on the next interest payment date occurring not less than 30 days following receipt by the Company of a redemption request received from the Trustee. If redemption requests exceed the aggregate principal amount of interests in IQ Notes required to be redeemed during the Initial Period or during any Subsequent Period, then such excess redemption requests will be applied in the order received by the Trustee to successive Subsequent Periods, regardless of the number of Subsequent Periods required to redeem such interests. The Company may at any time notify the Trustee that it will redeem, on the next interest payment date occurring not less than 30 days thereafter, all or any such lesser amount of IQ Notes for which redemption requests have been received but which are not then eligible for redemption by reason of the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation. All redemption requests will be redeemed in the order in which the Trustee receives the redemption request. To obtain repayment pursuant to a redemption request, the Representative must provide to the Participant (i) a written request for repayment signed by the Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the NASD or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, (ii) appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that (A) the Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased Beneficial Owner, (B) the death of such Beneficial Owner has occurred and (C) the deceased was the owner of a beneficial interest in such IQ Note at the time of death, (iii) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement, and (iv) if the beneficial interest in such IQ Note is held by a nominee of the deceased Beneficial Owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee attesting to the deceased’s ownership of a beneficial interest in such IQ Note. The Participant will provide these documents to the Trustee. All questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of redemption on behalf of a deceased Beneficial Owner will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determinations will be final and binding on all parties.

For purposes of this Section 3.02 an interest in IQ Notes held in tenancy by the entirety, joint tenancy or by tenants in common will be deemed to be held by a single Beneficial Owner and the death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed the death of a Beneficial Owner. The death of a person who, during his lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the rights of a Beneficial Owner of an interest in the IQ Notes will be deemed the death of the Beneficial Owner, regardless of the recordation of such interest on the records of the Participant, if such rights can be established to the satisfaction of the Participant and the Company.

If the Company, although not obligated to do so, chooses to redeem interests of any deceased Beneficial Owner in the IQ Notes in the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period in excess of the Individual Limitation, such redemption, to the extent that it exceeds the Individual Limitation for any deceased Beneficial Owner, shall not be included in the computation of the Annual Limitation for such Initial Period or such Subsequent Period, as the case may be, or for any succeeding Subsequent Period. The Company may, at its option, redeem interests of deceased Beneficial Owners in the IQ Notes, in the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the Annual Limitation. Any such redemption, to the extent it exceeds the Annual Limitation, shall not reduce the Annual Limitation for any Subsequent Period.

In the case of any redemption request which is presented pursuant to this Section 3.02 and which has not been fulfilled at the time the Company gives notice of its election to redeem part of the IQ Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, the IQ Notes which are the subject of such pending redemption request shall be redeemed prior to any other IQ Notes.

The price the Company will pay for the IQ Notes to be redeemed pursuant to a redemption request is 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The principal amount of any IQ Notes acquired or redeemed by the Company other than by redemption at the option of any Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall not be included in the computation of either the Individual Limitation or the Annual Limitation for the Initial Period or for any Subsequent Period.

Any redemption request may be withdrawn by the Representative upon delivery of a written request for such withdrawal given by the Participant on behalf of the Representative to the depositary and by the depositary to the Trustee not less than 60 days prior to the interest payment date on which such IQ Notes are eligible for redemption.

The Company may, at its option, purchase any IQ Notes for which Redemption Requests have been received in lieu of redeeming such IQ Notes. Any IQ Notes so purchased by the Company shall either be reoffered for sale and sold within 180 days after the date of purchase or presented to the Trustee for redemption and cancellation.

SECTION 4. The IQ Notes are not redeemable by the operation of the maintenance and replacement provisions of the Indenture or with the proceeds of released property or in any other manner except as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
