Eighty-fifth Series of Bonds
SECTION 1. There shall be a series of bonds designated
"Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series D" (herein sometimes referred
to as the "Eighty-fifth Series"), each of which shall also bear
the descriptive title "First Mortgage Bond", and the form
thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company, shall contain suitable provisions with
respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified.
Bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series shall be issued as fully
registered bonds in denominations of One Thousand Dollars and, at
the option of the Company, in any multiple or multiples thereof
(the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and
delivery thereof); each bond of the Eighty-fifth Series shall
mature on such date not less than nine months nor more than 30
years from the date of issue, shall bear interest at such rate or
rates, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each
year and at maturity (each an interest payment date), and have
such other terms and provisions not inconsistent with the
Original Indenture as the Board of Directors may determine in
accordance with a Resolution filed with the Trustee referring to
this Fifty-fourth Supplemental Indenture; the principal of and
interest on each said bond to be payable at the office or agency
of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and
private debts. Bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series shall be dated
as in Section 2.03 of the Original Indenture provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no
existing default in the payment of interest on the bonds of the
Eighty-fifth Series, all bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series
authenticated by the Trustee after the Record Date hereinafter
specified for any interest payment date, and prior to such
interest payment date (unless the Issue Date hereinafter
specified is after such Record Date), shall be dated the date of
authentication, but shall bear interest from such interest
payment date subject to the provisions and exceptions of
subdivision (I) of this Section 1, and the person in whose name
any bond of the Eighty-fifth Series is registered at the close of
business on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment
date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
interest payment date, notwithstanding the cancellation of such
bond of the Eighty-fifth Series, upon any transfer or exchange
thereof subsequent to the Record Date and on or prior to such
interest payment date, subject to the provisions and exceptions
of subdivision (I) of this Section 1. If the Issue Date of the
bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series of a designated interest rate
and maturity is after such Record Date, such bonds shall bear
interest from the Issue Date but payment of interest shall
commence on the second interest payment date succeeding the Issue
Date. "Record Date" for bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series shall
mean February 15 for interest payable March 1 and August 15 for
interest payable September 1, provided that, interest payable on
the maturity date will be payable to the person to whom the
principal of the bond shall be payable. "Issue Date" with
respect to bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series of a designated
interest rate and maturity shall mean the date of the first
authentication of bonds of such designated interest rate and
maturity.
(I) Any interest on any bond of the Eighty-fifth Series
which is payable but is not punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any interest payment date (herein called "Defaulted
Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
owner on the relevant Record Date solely by virtue of such owner
having been such owner; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid
by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in
subsection A or B below:
A. The Company may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest on the bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series
to the persons in whose names such bonds are registered at
the close of business on a Special Record Date (as
hereinafter defined) for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each bond of the
Eighty-fifth Series and the date of the proposed payment
(which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to
comply with the next sentence hereof), and at the same time
the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on
or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
subsection provided and not to be deemed part of the
Mortgaged and Pledged Property. Thereupon the Trustee shall
fix a date (herein referred to as a "Special Record Date")
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which date shall
be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date
of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the
receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of
such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense
of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
registered owner of a bond of the Eighty-fifth Series at his
address as it appears in the bond register not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in
its discretion in the name and at the expense of the
Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least
once in one Daily Newspaper of general circulation in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York and in
one Daily Newspaper of general circulation in the City of
Dallas, Texas, but such publication shall not be a condition
precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as
aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the
persons in whose names the bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series
are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection B.
B. The Company may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest on the bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which such bonds may be listed
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment
shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each
bond of the Eighty-fifth Series delivered under the Mortgage upon
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other bond shall
carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other bond and each such bond
shall bear interest from such date, that neither gain nor loss in
interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or
substitution.
(II) Each bond of the Eighty-fifth Series may be redeemable
either at the option of the Company or pursuant to the
requirements of the Mortgage (including, among other
requirements, the application of cash deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.14 of the Mortgage or
with Proceeds of Released Property), in whole at any time, or in
part from time to time, prior to maturity, upon notice, as
provided in Section 12.02 of the Original Indenture, mailed at
least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption as
the Board of Directors may determine in accordance with a
Resolution filed with the Trustee referring to this Fifty-fourth
Supplemental Indenture.
(III) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds
of the Eighty-fifth Series, upon surrender thereof for
cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, shall be
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of
the same series of other authorized denominations, which have the
same Issue Date, maturity date, interest rate or rates, and
redemption provisions, if any.
Bonds of the Eighty-fifth Series shall be transferable, upon
the surrender thereof for cancellation, together with a written
instrument of transfer in form approved by the registrar duly
executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized
attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York.
Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Eighty-fifth
Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to
reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge,
as provided in Section 2.05 of the Original Indenture, but the
Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition
thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Eighty-fifth
Series.
