IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for the same purposes and upon the same terms, trusts and conditions and subject to and with the same provisos and covenants as are set forth in the Mortgage, this Twenty-second Supplemental Indenture being supplemental to the Mortgage;

 

AND IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED by the Company that all the terms, conditions, provisos, covenants and provisions contained in the Mortgage shall affect and apply to the property hereinbefore described and conveyed, and to the estates, rights, obligations and duties of the Company and the Trustee and the beneficiaries of the trust with respect to said property, and to the Trustee and its successor or successors in the trust, in the same manner and with the same effect as if the said property had been owned by the Company at the time of the execution of the Mortgage, and had been specifically and at length described in and conveyed to said Trustee by the Mortgage as a part of the property therein stated to be conveyed.

 

 The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successor or successors in such trust under the Mortgage, as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Thirty-Fourth Series of Bonds

 

 

SECTION 1.01. There shall be a series of bonds designated “5.65% Series due 2018” (herein sometimes referred to as the Thirty-Fourth Series), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond,” and the form thereof, which shall be established by or pursuant to a Resolution, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified.

 

(I) Bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series shall mature on July 15, 2018 and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in the minimum denomination of two thousand dollars and, at the option of the Company, any multiple or multiples of one thousand dollars in excess thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof).

 

The Company reserves the right to establish, at any time, by or pursuant to a Resolution filed with the Trustee, a form of coupon bond, and or appurtenant coupons, for the Thirty-Fourth Series and to provide for exchangeability of such coupon bonds with the bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate provisions for such purpose.

 

Bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without notice to or the consent of any then-existing holder or holders of any bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series, for issuances of additional bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series in an unlimited principal amount. Any such additional bonds will have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as those initially issued, except for payment of interest accruing prior to the original issue date of such additional bonds and, if applicable, for the first interest payment date following such original issue date.

 

(II) Bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series shall bear interest at the rate of five and sixty-five hundredths per centum (5.65%) per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series shall be dated and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.06 of the Mortgage.

 

The initial Interest Payment Date is January 15, 2009. The amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any date on which interest is payable on any bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any additional interest or other payment in respect of any delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

 

Interest payable on any bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date for such bond will be paid to the person in whose name the bond is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter specified) for such bond next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided , however , that interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. So long as the bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series remain in book-entry only form, the “Record Date” for each Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on the Business Day before the applicable Interest Payment Date. If the bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series are not in book-entry only form, the Record Date for each Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on the 1 st  calendar day of the month in which the applicable Interest Payment Date occurs (whether or not a Business Day).

 

6


 

Business Day ” means, for purposes of this Section (II), a day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, or (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

Any interest on any bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series which is payable but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such bond (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered owner on the relevant Record Date for the payment of such interest solely by virtue of such owner having been such owner; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection (i) or (ii) below:

 

 

(i)

The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series to the persons in whose names such bonds are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as hereinafter defined) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: The Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the proposed date of payment, notify the Trustee in writing (signed by an Authorized Financial Officer of the Company) of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection provided and not to be deemed part of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a record date (herein referred to as a “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which date shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each registered owner of a bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series at his, her or its address as it appears in the bond register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection (ii).

 

(ii)

The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such bonds may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 

 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series delivered under the Mortgage upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other bond shall carry all rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other bond and each such bond shall bear interest from such date, that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.

 

(III) The principal of and interest and premium, if any, on each bond of the Thirty-Fourth Series shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts or in such other currency or currency unit as shall be determined by or in accordance with the Resolution filed with the Trustee.

 

(IV) Bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series shall not be redeemable prior to maturity at the option of any holder or holders of such bonds. Bonds of the Thirty-Fourth Series shall be redeemable in whole or in part and at any time prior to maturity at the option of the Company. The redemption price shall include accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the bonds to be redeemed, plus the greater of (a) one hundred per centum (100%) of the principal amount of bonds then Outstanding to be redeemed, or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 30 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker. The Company shall give the Trustee notice of such redemption price immediately after the calculation thereof, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation.
