This bond is one of the bonds issued and to be issued from
time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by an Indenture dated
as of September 1, 1945, given by the Company (or its predecessor, Consumers

principal hereof, or (b) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise
permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture, or (c) reduce
the percentage of the principal amount of the bonds the holders of which are
required to approve any such supplemental indenture.

other action by holders of bonds of this series or any other series created
after the Sixty-eighth Supplemental Indenture to amend the Indenture to reduce
the percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are

become due, have been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing
sentence unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from

is required to purchase any MSF Bonds prior to maturity in accordance with the
provisions of the MSF Indenture, Ambac shall on the same date deliver to the
Company the Series 1993A Ambac Bonds in principal amounts corresponding to the
MSF Bonds so redeemed or purchased, as provided in Section 3.01(a) of the
Insurance Agreement; provided that Ambac has not made any payments pursuant to
the Policy in connection with any such redemption or purchase of the MSF Bonds
which have not been reimbursed to Ambac in accordance with Section 2.01(a) of
the Insurance Agreement. The Company agrees to give the Trustee and Ambac notice
of any such redemption or purchase of the MSF Bonds on or before the date fixed
for any such redemption or purchase.
Series 1993A Ambac Bonds are not redeemable by the operation
of the improvement fund or the maintenance and replacement provisions of this
Indenture or with the proceeds of released property.

SECTION 3. In the event that there is an Event of Default (as
defined in the MSF Trust Indenture) under the MSF Bonds that results in an
acceleration of all outstanding amounts of principal, premium if any, and
interest on the MSF Bonds and there is an Event of Default (as defined in the
Insurance Agreement) with respect to non-payment of the Company's obligations
under Section 2.01(a) of the Insurance Agreement, then Ambac shall give written
notice thereof to the Trustee and such events shall constitute an Event of
Default under this bond and the remedies set forth in the Indenture shall be
applicable as provided in the Indenture.
SECTION 4. As provided in Section 3.01(b) of the Insurance
Agreement and provided that all amounts owing to Ambac under Section 2.01(a) of
the Insurance Agreement shall have been paid in full, from and after the Release
Date (as defined therein), the obligations of the Company with respect to the
Series 1993A Ambac Bonds (the "Bonds") shall be deemed to be satisfied and
discharged, the Bonds shall cease to secure in any manner any obligations
outstanding under the Insurance Agreement, and, pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of
the Insurance Agreement, Ambac shall forthwith deliver the Bonds to the Company
for cancellation.
SECTION 5. The Company reserves the right, without any
consent, vote or other action by the holder of the Series 1993A Ambac Bonds or
of any subsequent series of bonds issued under the Indenture, to make such
amendments to the Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to
amend Section 17.02 to read as follows:
SECTION 17.02. With the consent of the holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds at the
time outstanding or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized,
or, if fewer than all series are affected, not less than a
majority in principal amount of the bonds at the time
outstanding of each series the rights of the holders of which
are affected, voting together, the Company, when authorized by
a resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any
time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture
or of any supplemental indenture or modifying the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of
any of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall (1) extend the maturity of any of
the bonds or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce the amount of the principal
thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption
thereof, without the consent of the holder of each bond so
affected, or (2) permit the creation of any lien, not
otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of
this Indenture, without the consent of the holders of all the
bonds then outstanding, or (3) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are
required to approve any such supplemental indenture, without
the consent of the holders of all the bonds then outstanding.
For the purposes of this Section, bonds shall be deemed to be
affected by a supplemental indenture if such supplemental
indenture adversely affects or diminishes the rights of
holders thereof against the Company or against its property.
The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not, in
accordance with the foregoing, bonds of any particular series
would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such
determination shall be conclusive upon the holders of bonds of
such series and all other series. Subject to the provisions of

of evidence of the consent of bondholders as aforesaid (the
instrument or instruments evidencing such consent to be dated
within one year of such request), the Trustee shall join with

indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the

indenture, at least once in one daily newspaper of general
circulation in each city in which the principal of any of the

to principal, such notice shall be sufficiently given if
mailed, first class, postage prepaid, and registered if the
Company so elects, to each registered holder of bonds at the
last address of such holder appearing on the registry books,
such publication or mailing, as the case may be, to be made
not less than thirty days prior to such execution. Any failure
of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of any such supplemental indenture.
SECTION 6. As supplemented and amended as above set forth, the
Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto shall be read, taken and construed as one and
the same instrument.
SECTION 7. Nothing contained in this Supplemental Indenture
shall, or shall be construed to, confer upon any person other than a holder of

those contained in the sixth and seventh recitals hereof), all of which recitals
and statements are made solely by the Company.
SECTION 9. This Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously
executed in several counterparts and all such counterparts executed and
delivered, each as an original, shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

permitted hereunder or the date of maturity of interest on or principal of the
Series 1993A Ambac Bonds or the date fixed for redemption or repayment of the
Series 1993A Ambac Bonds shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture thereto) such
notice or such payment of such interest or principal need not be made on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the date fixed for such notice or as if made on the
date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption or repayment, and no interest
shall accrue for the period from and after such date. "Business Day" means, with
respect to this Section 10, a day of the year on which banks are not required or
