Subject to the procedures of the Securities Depository, the Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Secured Bonds issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Bonds shall no longer be represented by such Global Bond or Secured Bonds. In such event, subject to Section 2.05 and 2.09 of the Original Indenture and to such procedures, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Secured Bonds in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Bonds, will authenticate and deliver individual Secured Bonds of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Bonds in exchange for such Global Bonds.

[Form of First Mortgage Bond]
THIS BOND (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS BOND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS BOND MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.
THE HOLDER OF THIS BOND AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF TRI-STATE GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION ASSOCIATION, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT (A) THIS BOND MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (II) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (III) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS) OR (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (IV) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS BOND FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE.
Unless this Bond is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC” or the “Depositary”), to the issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Bond issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds in definitive registered form, this Bond may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

This Bond is one of an authorized series of Bonds referred to as 6.000% First Mortgage Bonds, due June 15, 2040, (together, the “Bonds”), in the initial aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000, issued pursuant to and subject to the Master First Mortgage Indenture, Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, Amended, Restated and Effective as of December 15, 1999, between the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association (as successor through consolidation to Xxxxx Fargo Bank West, National Association), as Trustee, as previously amended by twenty-two supplemental indentures and as further supplemented by the Supplemental Master Mortgage Indenture No. 23, effective as of June 8, 2010, as may be amended (the “Twenty-third Supplement”) (as so supplemented and as further amended or supplemented according to its terms, the “Master Indenture”). Terms used but not defined in this Bond have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Master Indenture.
REVERSE OF 6.000% FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS DUE JUNE 15, 2040
This Bond is one of the duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued pursuant to and subject to the Master First Mortgage Indenture, Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, Amended, Restated and Effective as of December 15, 1999, between the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association (as successor through consolidation to Xxxxx Fargo Bank West, National Association), as Trustee, as previously amended by twenty-two supplemental indentures and as further supplemented by the Supplemental Master Mortgage Indenture No. 23, effective as of June 8, 2010, as may be amended (the “Twenty-third Supplement”) (as so supplemented and as further amended or supplemented according to its terms, the “Master Indenture”).
This Bond may be redeemed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Master Indenture on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice given as provided in the Master Indenture, as a whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company, at the “Make-Whole Price” equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed and (ii) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, 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, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that installments of interest on the bonds that are due and payable on an interest payment date falling on or prior to the relevant redemption date will be payable to the Holders of such Bonds registered as such at the close of business on the Special Record Date established by the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02 of the Master Indenture.
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, plus 0.30%.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of such Bonds.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated “Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities,” or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such Business Day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such redemption date (provided that, if there are at least four Reference Treasury Dealers, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations shall be calculated after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations), or (B) if the Company obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its respective successors; provided, however, that if the foregoing is not a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will appoint another Primary Treasury Dealer as a substitute.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations’” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, 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 Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day next preceding such redemption date.
If less than all the Bonds are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Bonds to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee may select for redemption Bonds in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. So long as Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, is the sole registered Holder of the Bonds, partial redemptions will be administered in accordance with DTC procedures, which may require such partial redemptions to be determined by lot. In the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, the Company will issue new Bonds for the unredeemed portion in the name of each Holder of the partially redeemed Bonds.
The Company will send each Holder of Bonds to be redeemed notice of the redemption pursuant to Section 1.04 and 10.04 of the Master Indenture not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, the portion of Bonds called for redemption will no longer accrue interest on and after the redemption date.
The Master Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the entire indebtedness of the Bonds of this series upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Master Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Bonds of this series shall occur and be continuing, the unpaid principal of the Bonds of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Master Indenture. The Master Indenture also provides that no transfer of this Bond may be made by a Holder of this Bond unless such Holder either endorses hereon the amount of principal paid hereon and the last day to which interest has
been paid, or surrenders this Bond to the Company in exchange for a new Bond pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Master Indenture.
The Master Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of Secured Obligations, including the Bonds, under the Master Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Secured Obligations at the time Outstanding. The Master Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal of the Outstanding Secured Obligations to, under certain circumstances, waive, on behalf of the Holders of all Secured Obligations, compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Master Indenture and certain past defaults under the Master Indenture and their consequences.
As provided in the Master Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Secured Obligation Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on this Bond is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Secured Obligation Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more Bonds of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
This Bond is a Secured Obligation under the terms of the Master Indenture and is secured thereunder on a parity with other Secured Obligations. In the event of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under the Master Indenture, the Trustee shall enforce the remedies set forth under the Master Indenture for the benefit of all of the Holders of Secured Obligations in the manner specified in the Master Indenture.
The Bonds of this series are not subject to any sinking fund.
The Bonds are entitled to the benefit of the lien under the Master Indenture.
Each Holder, by accepting a Bond, agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Master Indenture, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee or an authenticating agent under the Master Indenture by manual signature, this Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Master Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
This Bond shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
