PART I.
CREATION OF THREE HUNDRED THIRTY-NINTH
SERIES OF BONDS, GENERAL
AND REFUNDING MORTGAGE BONDS,
2005 SERIES A BONDS
TERMS OF BONDS OF 2005 SERIES A.
SECTION 1. The Company hereby creates the three hundred
thirty-ninth series of
bonds to be issued under and secured by the Original Indenture as
amended to
date and as further amended by this Supplemental Indenture, to be
designated,
and to be distinguished from
10
<PAGE>
the bonds of all other series, by the title "General and Refunding
Mortgage
Bonds, 2005 Series A" (elsewhere herein referred to as the "bonds
of 2005 Series
A"). The aggregate principal amount of bonds of 2005 Series A shall
be limited
to two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000), except as provided
in Sections 7
and 13 of Article II of the Original Indenture with respect to
exchanges and
replacements of bonds, and except further that the Company may,
without the
consent of any holder of the bonds of 2005 Series A, "reopen" the
bonds of 2005
Series A so as to increase the aggregate principal amount
outstanding to equal
the aggregate principal amount of Notes (as defined below)
outstanding upon a
"reopening" of the series, so long as any additional bonds of 2005
Series A have
the same tenor and terms as the bonds of 2005 Series A established
hereby.
Subject to the release provisions set forth below, each bond of
2005 Series A is
to be irrevocably assigned to, and registered in the name of, J.P.
Morgan Trust
Company, National Association, as trustee, or a successor trustee
(said trustee
or any successor trustee being hereinafter referred to as the "Note
Indenture
Trustee"), under the collateral trust indenture, dated as of June
30, 1993 (the
"Note Indenture"), as supplemented, between the Note Indenture
Trustee and the
Company, to secure payment of the Company's 2005 Series A 4.80%
Senior Notes due
2015 (for purposes of this Part I, the "4.80% Notes").
The bonds of 2005 Series A shall be issued as registered bonds
without coupons
in denominations of a multiple of $1,000. The bonds of 2005 Series
A shall be
issued in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, shall
mature on
February 15, 2015 (subject to earlier redemption or release) and
shall bear
interest at the rate of 4.80% per annum, payable semi-annually in
arrears on
February 15 and August 15 of each year (commencing August 15,
2005), until the
principal thereof shall have become due and payable and thereafter
until the
Company's obligation with respect to the payment of said principal
shall have
been discharged as provided in the Indenture. The bonds of 2005
Series A shall
bear additional interest ("Additional Interest") pursuant to that
certain
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2005, among
the Company
and the other parties named therein upon the occurrence of any
Registration
Default (as defined therein). Additional Interest shall be payable
on the
applicable interest payment dates to the same persons and in the
same manner as
provided herein for payments of ordinary interest.
11
<PAGE>
The bonds of 2005 Series A shall be payable as to principal,
premium, if any,
and interest as provided in the Indenture, but only to the extent
and in the
manner herein provided. The bonds of 2005 Series A shall be
payable, both as to
principal and interest, at the office or agency of the Company in
the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, in any coin or currency
of the United
States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for
public and
private debts.
Except as provided herein, each bond of 2005 Series A shall be
dated the date of
its authentication and interest shall be payable on the principal
represented
thereby from the February 15 or August 15 next preceding the date
thereof to
which interest has been paid on bonds of 2005 Series A, unless the
bond is
authenticated on a date to which interest has been paid, in which
case interest
shall be payable from the date of authentication, or unless the
date of
authentication is prior to August 15, 2005, in which case interest
shall be
payable from February 7, 2005.
The bonds of 2005 Series A in definitive form shall be, at the
election of the
Company, fully engraved or shall be lithographed or printed in
authorized
denominations as aforesaid and numbered 1 and upwards (with such
further
designation as may be appropriate and desirable to indicate by such
designation
the form, series and denomination of bonds of 2005 Series A). Until
bonds of
2005 Series A in definitive form are ready for delivery, the
Company may
execute, and upon its request in writing the Trustee shall
authenticate and
deliver in lieu thereof, bonds of 2005 Series A in temporary form,
as provided
in Section 10 of Article II of the Indenture. Temporary bonds of
2005 Series A,
if any, may be printed and may be issued in authorized
denominations in
substantially the form of definitive bonds of 2005 Series A, but
without a
recital of redemption prices and with such omissions, insertions
and variations
as may be appropriate for temporary bonds, all as may be determined
by the
Company.
Interest on any bond of 2005 Series A that is payable on any
interest payment
date and is punctually paid or duly provided for shall be paid to
the person in
whose name that bond, or any previous bond to the extent evidencing
the same
debt as that evidenced by that bond, is registered at the close of
business on
the regular record date for such interest, which regular record
date shall be
the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a business day) next
preceding such
interest payment date. If the Company shall default in the payment
of the
interest due on any interest payment date on the principal
represented by any
bond of 2005 Series A, such defaulted interest shall forthwith
cease to be
payable to the registered holder of that bond on the relevant
regular record
date by virtue of his having been such holder, and such
12
<PAGE>
defaulted interest may be paid to the registered holder of that
bond (or any
bond or bonds of 2005 Series A issued upon transfer or exchange
thereof) on the
date of payment of such defaulted interest or, at the election of
the Company,
to the person in whose name that bond (or any bond or bonds of 2005
Series A
issued upon transfer or exchange thereof) is registered on a
subsequent record
date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the
Company to the
holders of bonds of 2005 Series A not less than ten (10) days
preceding such
subsequent record date, which subsequent record date shall be at
least five (5)
days prior to the payment date of such defaulted interest.
Bonds of 2005 Series A shall not be assignable or transferable
except as may be
set forth under Section 405 of the Note Indenture or in the
supplemental note
indenture relating to the 4.80% Notes, or, subject to compliance
with applicable
law, as may be involved in the course of the exercise of rights and
remedies
consequent upon an Event of Default under the Note Indenture. Any
such transfer
shall be made upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office
or agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New
York,
together with a written instrument of transfer (if so required by
the Company or
by the Trustee) in form approved by the Company duly executed by
the holder or
by its duly authorized attorney. Bonds of 2005 Series A shall in
the same manner
be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of
2005 Series A
upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in Section 7 of
Article II of
the Indenture. The Company waives its rights under Section 7 of
Article II of
the Indenture not to make exchanges or transfers of bonds of 2005
Series A
during any period of ten (10) days next preceding any redemption
date for such
bonds.
Bonds of 2005 Series A, in definitive and temporary form, may bear
such legends
as may be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or
regulations made
pursuant thereto or as may be specified in the Note Indenture.
Upon payment of the principal or premium, if any, or interest on
the 4.80%
Notes, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or
otherwise, or
upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in
accordance with
Article V of the Note Indenture, bonds of 2005 Series A in a
principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such 4.80% Notes, shall, to the
extent of such
payment of principal, premium or interest, be deemed fully paid and
the
obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment shall
forthwith cease
and be discharged, and, in the case of the payment of principal and
premium, if
any, such bonds shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented
for
appropriate notation to the Trustee.
13
<PAGE>
RELEASE.
From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture),
the bonds of
2005 Series A shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged
and the
obligation of the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On the
Release Date,
the bonds of 2005 Series A shall be surrendered to and canceled by
the Trustee.
The Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date,
it will not
take any action that would cause the outstanding principal amount
of the bonds
of 2005 Series A to be less than the then outstanding principal
amount of the
4.80% Notes.
REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2005 SERIES A.
SECTION 2. Bonds of 2005 Series A shall be redeemed on the
respective dates and
in the respective principal amounts which correspond to the
redemption dates
for, and the principal amounts to be redeemed of, the 4.80%
Notes.
In the event the Company elects to redeem any 4.80% Notes prior to
maturity in
accordance with the provisions of the Note Indenture, the Company
shall give the
Trustee notice of redemption of bonds of 2005 Series A on the same
date as it
gives notice of redemption of 4.80% Notes to the Note Indenture
Trustee.
REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2005 SERIES A IN EVENT OF ACCELERATION OF
NOTES.
SECTION 3. In the event of an Event of Default under the Note
Indenture and the
acceleration of all 4.80% Notes, the bonds of 2005 Series A shall
be redeemable
in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand
(hereinafter called a
"Redemption Demand") from the Note Indenture Trustee stating that
there has
occurred under the Note Indenture both an Event of Default and a
declaration of
acceleration of payment of principal, accrued interest and premium,
if any, on
the 4.80% Notes, specifying the last date to which interest on the
4.80% Notes
has been paid (such date being hereinafter referred to as the
"Initial Interest
Accrual Date") and demanding redemption of the bonds of said
series. The Trustee
shall, within five (5) days after receiving such Redemption Demand,
mail a copy
thereof to the Company marked to indicate the date of its receipt
by the
Trustee. Promptly upon receipt by the Company of such copy of a
Redemption
Demand, the Company shall fix a date on which it will redeem the
bonds of said
series so demanded to be redeemed (hereinafter called the "Demand
Redemption
Date"). Notice of the date fixed as the Demand Redemption Date
shall be mailed
by the Company to the Trustee at least ten (10) days prior to such
Demand
Redemption Date. The date to be fixed by the Company as and for the
Demand
Redemption Date may be any date up to and including the earlier of
(x) the 60th
day after receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand or (y)
the maturity
date of such bonds first occurring following the 20th day after the
receipt by
the Trustee of the Redemption Demand; provided, however,
14
<PAGE>
that if the Trustee shall not have received such notice fixing the
Demand
Redemption Date on or before the 10th day preceding the earlier of
such dates,
the Demand Redemption Date shall be deemed to be the earlier of
such dates. The
Trustee shall mail notice of the Demand Redemption Date (such
notice being
hereinafter called the "Demand Redemption Notice") to the Note
Indenture Trustee
not (10) nor less than five (5) days prior to the Demand Redemption
Date.
Each bond of 2005 Series A shall be redeemed by the Company on the
Demand
Redemption Date therefor upon surrender thereof by the Note
Indenture Trustee to
the Trustee at a redemption price equal to the principal amount
thereof plus
accrued interest thereon at the rate specified for such bond from
the Initial
Interest Accrual Date to the Demand Redemption Date plus an amount
equal to the
aggregate premium, if any, due and payable on such Demand
Redemption Date on all
4.80% Notes; provided, however, that in the event of a receipt by
the Trustee of
a notice that, pursuant to Section 602 of the Note Indenture, the
Note Indenture
Trustee has terminated proceedings to enforce any right under the
Note
Indenture, then any Redemption Demand shall thereby be rescinded by
the Note
Indenture Trustee, and no Demand Redemption Notice shall be given,
or, if
already given, shall be automatically annulled; but no such
rescission or
annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or
impair any right
consequent thereon.
Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee is not
authorized to take any action pursuant to a Redemption Demand and
such
Redemption Demand shall be of no force or effect, unless it is
executed in the
name of the Note Indenture Trustee by its President or one of its
Vice
Presidents.
