THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY, a corporation of the State of Ohio (hereinafter called the Company), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ___________, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders under and as defined in the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 24, 2016 among the Company, each lender from time to time party thereto (hereinafter called the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, or registered assigns, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, $445,000,000 on August 1, 2022, unless called for earlier redemption, or on any other date the amount of principal of the corresponding loans (hereinafter called the “Loans”) under the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) become due and payable (whether by prepayment, upon acceleration or otherwise) in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay to the registered owner hereof interest thereon from the Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for last preceding the date hereof, at such rate or rates per annum on each Interest Payment Date as shall cause the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on this Bond (as hereinafter defined) to equal the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the corresponding Loans, such interest to be payable on the same dates as interest is payable on said Loans (each such date herein called an “Interest Payment Date”) until the maturity of this Bond, or if this Bond shall be duly called for redemption, until the redemption date, or if the Company shall default in the payment of the principal amount of this Bond, until the Company's obligation with respect to the payment of such principal shall be discharged as provided in the Indenture (as hereinafter defined). The amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the same basis as the amount of interest is computed on the corresponding said Loans.
The interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the holder in whose name this Bond is registered, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on this Bond, such interest in default shall be paid to the holder in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on a date established for the payment of such defaulted interest by the Company in any lawful manner. This Bond shall be payable as to principal, premium, if
Exh. A-1
any, and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
This Bond is one of an issue of First Mortgage Bonds (hereinafter called the “Bonds”) of the Company issued and to be issued in series under and pursuant to and equally secured by an indenture of mortgage and deed of trust dated as of October 1, 1935, executed by the Company to Irving Trust Company (now The Bank of New York Mellon), as Trustee, as said indenture has been amended and supplemented as hereinafter stated, and is one of a series of said First Mortgage Bonds, which series is designated as the “First Mortgage Bonds, Variable Rate Series 2016 Due 2022”, of the Company (hereinafter called the “New Bonds”) created and described in a Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 1, 2016, executed by the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (such supplemental indenture, the “Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture”). Subsequent to the execution and delivery of said indenture of mortgage and deed of trust there have been executed and delivered fifty indentures supplemental thereto, including the Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture, supplementing and amending as therein set forth certain provisions thereof (said indenture mortgage, together with all such indentures supplement, the “First Mortgage, as amended”). Said indenture of mortgage and deed of trust and such supplemental indentures collectively are hereinafter sometimes called the “Indenture”.
For a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the Bonds and of the Trustee therein and thereto, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are issued and secured, reference is hereby made to the Indenture. The rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders and registered owners of the Bonds of this issue may be modified or amended at the request of the Company by an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture, executed pursuant to the consent in writing of the holders or registered owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected by such modification or amendment, all in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, any consent by the holder or registered owner of any Bond being conclusive and binding upon such holder or registered owner and upon all future holders and owners of such Bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such Bond; provided that no such modification or amendment by such supplemental indenture shall extend the maturity of, or reduce the rate of interest on, or otherwise modify the terms of payment of the principal or interest of, this Bond, which obligations are absolute and unconditional, nor permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to such Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture, the holders of the Bonds, by their acceptance and holding hereof, consent and agree to the amendments provided for in Article Four of such Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture. The New Bonds are to be issued by the Company to the Collateral Agent and pledged as collateral security to the Collateral Agent, or its assignee, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders, to evidence and secure the obligations of the Company to repay the Loans made by the Lenders to the Company pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement to assist in the refunding of the Company’s issued and outstanding Bonds of the 1.875% Series Due 2016 outstanding in the principal amount of $445,000,000.
Exh. A-2
Unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, this Bond shall not be transferable by the Collateral Agent, except to (i) a successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to the terms of Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) the Company; provided that if an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the New Bonds in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
In the event and to the extent the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Loans shall be paid, whether at maturity, upon redemption, prepayment, acceleration or otherwise or shall otherwise be deemed to be paid, an equal amount of principal or premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, payable with respect to an aggregate principal amount of corresponding New Bonds equal to an aggregate principal amount of such Loans shall be deemed to have been paid.
In the event that this Bond shall be deemed to have been paid in full in accordance with the paragraph immediately above, and the Credit Agreement (including without limitation, all commitments thereunder) shall have been terminated, this Bond shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Trustee shall forthwith cancel the same
The New Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption by the Company prior to maturity at any time in whole or in part as provided in Section 5 of Article One of the Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.
The New Bonds are subject to optional redemption by the Company prior to maturity at any time in whole or in part as provided in Section 7 of Article One of the Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture at the same redemption price, plus accrued interest and premium, if any, to the redemption date, as shall be payable on the Loans being concurrently prepaid therewith.
Any redemption of the New Bonds shall be made in the manner provided in Section 8 of Article One of the Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture, subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended.
The principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of a completed default as provided in the Indenture.
The Trustee shall be entitled to request, receive and conclusively rely upon the certification of the Company, in an officer’s certificate of the interest rate of, Interest Payment Date of and basis on which interest is computed for, the Loans, from time to time as necessary to enable the Trustee to determine for the New Bonds their corresponding interest rate, Interest Payment Date and basis on which interest shall be computed.
Exh. A-3
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the New Bonds, as the case may be, on each date when due shall have been fully satisfied and discharged on each date when due unless and until a responsible officer of the Trustee within the corporate trust group administering the Indenture shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Agent, signed by a person certifying that he or she is an authorized officer of the Collateral Agent, stating that the payment of principal of or interest on the new Bonds has not been fully paid when due and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment.
Before any transfer of this Bond by the registered holder or his or its legal representative will be recognized or given effect by the Trustee, the registered holder shall note the amounts of all reductions in the stated principal amount of this Bond, and shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, shall afford the Trustee the opportunity of verifying the notation as to such reductions. By acceptance hereof the holder of this Bond and each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to provide reasonable indemnity to the Trustee with respect to, and hold harmless the Trustee against, all losses, claims, damages or liability arising out of any failure on part of the holder or of any such transferee to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.
This Bond may be exchanged for a like principal amount of other New Bonds, or transferred as prescribed in the Indenture by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond and thereupon a new registered New Bond or New Bonds without coupons for a like principal amount and of authorized denominations will be issued in exchange therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.
Any costs or expenses (including any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such exchange or transfer) shall be for the account of the Company. The New Bonds are issuable as registered Bonds without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, this Bond, or under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture, against (a) any incorporator, (b) any past, present, or future subscriber to capital stock, (c) any shareholder or (d) any officer or director, in each case, of (x) the Company or (y) of any predecessor or successor corporation of the Company either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation of the Company, under any present or future rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, shareholders, officers and directors being released by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture; provided that such limitation of liability of the persons and entities described in clauses (a) – (d) above shall not extend to any such persons or entities of a successor of the Company that expressly assumes the
Exh. A-4
obligations of the Company or is liable under Section 2 of Article 15 of the First Mortgage if such persons or entities described in clauses (a)-(d) above waive such limitation of liability.
This Bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.
