ARTICLE ONE
CREATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLATERAL SERIES D BONDS
SECTION 1. A new series of bonds to be issued from time to time
under and secured by the Indenture is hereby created, the bonds of such new
series to be designated First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series D. The
Collateral Series D Bonds shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of
Two Hundred Fifty Million dollars ($250,000,000), excluding any Collateral
Series D Bonds which may be authenticated and exchanged for or in lieu of or in
substitution for or on transfer of other Collateral Series D Bonds pursuant to
any provisions of the Indenture. The Collateral Series D Bonds shall not bear
interest and each Collateral Series D Bond shall (a) be issued in such principal
amount, (b) mature on such date not less than nine months nor more than thirty
years from its Original Issue Date (as hereinafter defined), and (c) have such
other terms and conditions as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of
the Indenture, all as shall be specified by the Company in a certificate,
executed by the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant
Treasurer of the Company, delivered to the Trustee relating to such Collateral
Series D Bond and referring to this Supplemental Indenture (each such
certificate being deemed to constitute a part of this Supplemental Indenture and
being hereinafter sometimes called an "Issuance Certificate"), such
specification by such an officer of the Company in an Issuance Certificate
having been heretofore authorized in a resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Company.
The principal of each Collateral Series D Bond shall be payable,
upon presentation thereof, at the office or agency of the Company in the city in
which the principal corporate trust office of the 1993 Mortgage Trustee (as
hereinafter defined) is located, in any coin or currency of the United States of
America which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts.
The Collateral Series D Bonds shall be issued and delivered from
time to time by the Company to First Trust of New York, National Association, as
successor trustee under the Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1993, as
supplemented (the "1993 Mortgage"), of the Company to such trustee (the "1993
Mortgage Trustee"), as the basis for the authentication and delivery under the
1993 Mortgage of a series of securities. As provided in the 1993 Mortgage, the
Collateral Series D Bonds will be registered in the name of the 1993 Mortgage
Trustee or its nominee and will be owned and held by the 1993 Mortgage Trustee,
subject to the provisions of the 1993 Mortgage, for the benefit of the holders
of all securities from time to time outstanding under the 1993 Mortgage, and the
Company shall have no interest therein.
Any payment by the Company under the 1993 Mortgage of the principal
of any securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the
1993 Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the 1993 Mortgage
Trustee of Collateral Series D Bonds (other than by the application of the
proceeds of a payment in respect of such Collateral Series D Bonds) shall, to
the extent thereof, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the
Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of such Collateral Series D
Bonds which is then due.
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the
Company to pay the principal of any Collateral Series D Bonds as the same shall
become due and payable shall
-3-
have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received
a written notice from the 1993 Mortgage Trustee, signed by an authorized officer
thereof, stating that the principal of specified Collateral Series D Bonds has
become due and payable and has not been fully paid, and specifying the amount of
funds required to make such payment.
Each Collateral Series D Bond shall be dated as of the date of its
authentication.
The Collateral Series D Bonds shall be issued as fully registered
bonds only, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
The Collateral Series D Bonds shall be registerable and exchangeable
at the office or agency of the Company in the city in which the principal
corporate trust office of the 1993 Mortgage Trustee is located, in the manner
and upon the terms set forth in Section 5 of Article II of the Indenture;
provided, however, that the Collateral Series D Bonds shall not be transferrable
except to a successor trustee under the 1993 Mortgage. No service charge shall
be made for any exchange or transfer of any Collateral Series D Bond.
If and to the extent necessary to eliminate any apparent
inconsistency between any provision of this Supplemental Indenture and any
provision of the Indenture all Collateral Series D Bonds having the same
Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity, interest rate, and other terms and
conditions shall be deemed to be a separate series of bonds, and such Original
Issue Date, Stated Maturity, interest rate, if any, and other terms and
conditions shall be deemed to be a part of the designation of such series.
As used herein, the term "Original Issue Date" shall mean, with
respect to any Collateral Series D Bond, the date of authentication and delivery
hereunder of such Collateral Series D Bond, or, in the case of any particular
Collateral Series D Bond which has been authenticated and delivered upon the
registration of transfer or exchange of, or in substitution for, another
Collateral Series D Bond, the date of the original authentication and delivery
hereunder of the first Collateral Series D Bond authenticated and delivered
hereunder representing all or a portion of the same obligation as that evidenced
by such particular Collateral Series D Bond; the term "Stated Maturity" shall
mean, with respect to any Collateral Series D Bond, the date on which the
principal of such Collateral Series D Bond is stated to be due and payable
(without regard to any provision for acceleration, redemption or similar
provisions); and the term "Maturity" shall mean, with respect to any Collateral
Series D Bond, the date on which the principal of such Collateral Series D Bond
becomes due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, by declaration of
acceleration, upon call for redemption or otherwise.
SECTION 2. The text of the Collateral Series D Bonds shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
SECTION 3. The Collateral Series D Bonds may be executed by the
Company and delivered to the Trustee and, upon compliance with all applicable
provisions and requirements of the Indenture in respect thereof, shall be
authenticated by the Trustee and delivered (without awaiting the filing or
recording of this Supplemental Indenture), from time to time, in accordance with
the written order or orders of the Company.
-4-
ARTICLE TWO
REDEMPTION OF THE COLLATERAL SERIES D BONDS
SECTION 1. Each Collateral Series D Bond shall be redeemable at the
option of the Company in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior
to Stated Maturity, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed.
SECTION 2. The provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Article V
of the Indenture shall be applicable to the Collateral Series D Bonds, except
that (a) no publication of notice of redemption of the Collateral Series D Bonds
shall be required and (b) if less than all the Collateral Series D Bonds are to
be redeemed, the Collateral Series D Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected from
the maturities, and in the principal amounts, designated to the Trustee by the
Company, and except as such provisions may otherwise be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Article Two.
SECTION 3. The holder of each and every Collateral Series D Bond
issued hereunder hereby agrees to accept payment thereof prior to Stated
Maturity on the terms and conditions provided for in this Article Two.
ARTICLE THREE.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RIGHT TO VOTE
OR CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO
CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURE
The Company hereby acknowledges the right of the holders of the
Collateral Series D Bonds to vote or consent with respect to any or all of the
modifications to the Indenture referred to in Article Three of the Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of March 1, 1980, irrespective of the fact that the Bonds of
the Second 1987 Series are no longer outstanding; provided, however, that such
acknowledgment shall not impair (a) the right of the Company to make such
modifications without the consent or other action of the holders of the Bonds of
the 2020 Series or the bonds of any other series subsequently created under the
Indenture with respect to which the Company has expressly reserved such right or
(b) the right of the Company to reserve the right to make such modifications
without the consent or other action of the holders of bonds of one or more, or
any or all, series created subsequent to the creation of the Collateral Series D
Bonds.

National Association, as successor trustee (the "1993 Mortgage Trustee") under
the Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1993 (the "1993 Mortgage"), of the
Company, or registered assigns,
Dollars on the Stated Maturity specified above (unless this bond shall then be
deemed to have been paid in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture
referred to below) at the office or agency of the Company in the city in which
the principal corporate trust office of the 1993 Mortgage Trustee is located.
This bond shall not bear interest. The principal of this bond shall be payable
in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of
payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Any payment by the Company under the 1993 Mortgage of the principal of
securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the 1993
Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the 1993 Mortgage Trustee
of this bond (the "1993 Mortgage Securities") (other than by the application of
the proceeds of a payment in respect of this bond) shall, to the extent thereof,
be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to
make a payment of principal of this bond which is then due.
A-1
This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issued and to be
issued in one or more series under and equally and ratably secured (except as
any sinking, amortization, improvement or other fund, established in accordance
with the provisions of the indenture hereinafter mentioned, may afford
additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a certain
indenture, dated as of December 1, 1939, made by the Company to First Trust of
New York, National Association as successor trustee (hereinafter called the
"Trustee"), to Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York (formerly Guaranty
Trust Company of New York), as amended and supplemented by several indentures
supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of November

supplemental thereto being hereinafter called the "Indenture"), to which
Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged,
the nature and extent of the security, the rights and limitations of rights of
the Company, the Trustee, and the holders of said bonds, under the Indenture,
and the terms and conditions upon which said bonds are secured, to all of the
provisions of which Indenture and of all indentures supplemental thereto in
respect of such security, including the provisions of the Indenture permitting
the issue of bonds of any series for property which, under the restrictions and
limitations therein specified, may be subject to liens prior to the lien of the
Indenture, the holder, by accepting this bond, assents. To the extent permitted
by and as provided in the Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company
and of the holders of said bonds (including those pertaining to any sinking or
other fund) may be changed and modified, with the consent of the Company, by the
holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the bonds then
outstanding (excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company's
interest therein as provided in the Indenture); provided, however, that without
the consent of the holder hereof no such modification or alteration shall be
made which will extend the time of payment of the principal of this bond or
reduce the principal amount hereof or effect any other modification of the terms
of payment of such principal or will reduce the percentage of bonds required for
the aforesaid actions under the Indenture. The Company has reserved the right to
amend the Indenture without any consent or other action by holders of any series
of bonds created after October 31, 1975 (including this series) so as to change
75% in the foregoing sentence to 60% and to change certain procedures relating
to bondholders' meetings. This bond is one of a series of bonds designated as
the First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series D, of the Company.
This bond shall be redeemable at the option of the Company in whole at
any time, or in part from time to time, prior to the Stated Maturity specified
above, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed.
The principal of this bond may be declared or may become due before the
Stated Maturity specified above, on the conditions, in the manner and at the
times set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of an event of default as
therein provided.
This bond is not transferable except to a successor trustee under the
1993 Mortgage, any such transfer to be made at the office or agency of the
Company in the city in which the principal corporate trust office of the 1993
Mortgage Trustee is located, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and
thereupon a new bond of this series of a like principal amount and having the
same Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity and other terms and conditions, will
be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, as provided in the Indenture.
The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any registrar may deem and treat
the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof
for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other
A-2
purposes. This bond, alone or with other bonds of this series, may in like
manner be exchanged at such office or agency for one or more new bonds of this
series of the same aggregate principal amount, and having the same Original
Issue Date, Stated Maturity, and other terms and conditions, all as provided in
the Indenture. No service charge shall be made to any holder of any bond of this
series for any exchange or transfer of bonds.
No recourse under or upon any covenant or obligation of the Indenture,
or of any bonds thereby secured, or for any claim based thereon, or otherwise in
any manner in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, subscriber
to the capital stock, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company,
whether former, present or future, either directly, or indirectly through the
Company or the Trustee, by the enforcement of any subscription to capital stock,
assessment or otherwise, or by any legal or equitable proceeding by virtue of
any statute or otherwise (including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any proceeding to enforce any claimed liability of shareholders of
the Company based upon any theory of disregarding the corporate entity of the
Company or upon any theory that the Company was acting as the agent or
instrumentality of the shareholders), any and all such liability of
incorporators, shareholders, subscribers, officers and directors, as such, being
released by the holder hereof, by the acceptance of this bond, and being
likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture under which this bond
is issued.
This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until
the certificate of authentication endorsed hereon shall have been signed by
First Trust of New York, National Association, or its successor, as Trustee
under the Indenture.
