redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, from the last
interest payment date to the date of redemption, or (ii) the Make Whole Amount
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from the last interest payment date to

the amount of interest accrued on such New Mortgage Bonds of the 2009 Series to
such redemption date.

yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming
a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its

computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc. or X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. or their
affiliates as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the New
Mortgage Bonds of the 2009 Series that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term
of the New Mortgage Bonds of the 2009 Series.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means the average of three Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) obtained by the Trustee for the
redemption date.

80
securities dealers) and any one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer
chosen by the Company. If either Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc. or X.X. Xxxxxx
Securities Inc. ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, the
Company will appoint in its place another nationally recognized investment
banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means the average, as determined
by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by a Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.
