in the same manner and with the same effect as if the said property had been
owned by the Company at the time of the execution of the Mortgage and had been
specifically and at length described in and conveyed to the Trustees by the
Mortgage as a part of the property therein stated to be conveyed.
The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustees and
their successor or successors in such trust under the Mortgage as follows:
ARTICLE I
SIXTY-NINTH SERIES OF BONDS
SECTION 1. There shall be a series of bonds designated "5.95% Senior
Note Series due March 1, 2009" (herein sometimes referred to as the "Sixty-ninth
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
Sixty-ninth Series shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount
of $400,000,000, mature on March 1, 2009, bear interest at the rate of 5.95% per
annum, payable from March 5, 1999, if the date of said bonds is prior to
September 1, 1999, or, if the date of said bonds is after September 1, 1999,
from the March or September next preceding the date of said bonds, and
thereafter semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, be issued as
fully registered bonds in the denominations of One Thousand Dollars and, at the
option of the Company, in any multiple or multiples of One Thousand Dollars (the
exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof)
and be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, 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, 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.
At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Sixty-ninth
Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable
for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other
authorized denominations. The bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series may bear such
legends as may be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or
regulations made pursuant thereto or with the rules or regulations of any stock
exchange or to conform to usage or agreement with respect thereto.
Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series will not be transferable except (i) as
required to effect an assignment to a successor trustee under the Indenture (For
Senior Notes) dated as of March 1, 1999, between the Company and The Bank of New
York, as trustee (said trustee or any successor trustee under the Senior Note
Indenture being hereinafter referred to as the "Senior Note Trustee"), as the
same may be supplemented from time to time (the "Senior Note Indenture") or as
otherwise provided in Sections 407 and 409 of the Senior Note Indenture, or (ii)
in compliance with a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction in
connection with any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding of the Company.
Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series, the
Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or
taxes or other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company, as
provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right
to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of
said Series.
The Company's obligation to make payments with respect to the principal
of, premium, if any, and or interest on, the Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series
shall be fully or partially satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the
time any such payment shall be due, the corresponding amount then due of
principal of, and/or premium, if any, and/or interest then due on, the Company's
Senior Notes, 5.95% Series Due March 1, 2009 (hereinafter called the "Senior
Notes"), issued contemporaneously with the Bonds of the Sixty-sixth Series,
shall have been fully or partially paid (other
9
than by the application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such Bonds of
the Sixty-ninth Series), as the case may be, or there shall have been deposited
with the Senior Note Trustee pursuant to the Senior Note Indenture trust funds
sufficient under such indenture to fully or partially pay, as the case may be,
the corresponding amount then due of principal of, and/or premium, if any and/or
interest on, the Senior Notes (other than by the application of the proceeds of
a payment in respect of such Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series).
SECTION 2. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the registered
owner of all bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series shall be the Senior Note Trustee.
SECTION 3. Upon payment of the principal of, and premium if any, and
interest due on the Senior Notes, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by
acceleration, redemption or otherwise, or upon provision for the payment thereof
having been made in accordance with the Senior Note Indenture (other than by the
application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such Bonds of the
Sixty-ninth Series), Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series in a principal amount equal
to the principal amount of Senior Notes so paid or for which such provision for
payment has been made shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and
the obligations of the Company thereunder shall be terminated and such Bonds of
the Sixty-ninth Series shall be surrendered to and canceled by the Trustees,
except as otherwise provided in the Senior Note Indenture. From and after the
Release Date (as defined in the Senior Note Indenture, the "Release Date"), the
Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and
discharged and the obligation of the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On
the Release Date, the Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series shall be surrendered to
and canceled by the Trustees.
The Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series are subject to redemption by the
Company, at its option, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time,
upon notice as provided in the Mortgage (not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to a date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date")) at a redemption
price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount or (ii) the sum
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest thereon from the Redemption Date to the maturity date, computed by
discounting such payments, in each case, to the Redemption Date on a semiannual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
Treasury Yield (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
March 1, 1999, supplemental to the Senior Note Indenture) plus 15 basis points
(.15%), plus in each case accrued interest on the principal amount thereof to
the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price"), such Redemption Price to be set
forth in a Treasurer's Certificate delivered to the Corporate Trustee on or
before the Redemption Date and upon which the Trustees may conclusively rely.
At any time the Senior Notes or any portion thereof have become due and
payable in accordance with Section 505 of the Senior Note Indenture, the Bonds
of the Sixty-ninth Series will thereupon automatically become due and payable
pursuant to the redemption provisions of the preceding paragraph.
The Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it
will not take any action that would cause the outstanding principal amount of
the Bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series to be less than the then outstanding
principal amount of the Senior Notes.
The Corporate Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of
the Company to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the
bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series as the same shall become due and payable shall
have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall received a
written notice from the Senior Note Trustee, signed by its President, a Vice
President or a Trust Officer, stating that the corresponding payment of
principal of or interest on the Senior Notes has become due and payable and has
not been fully paid and, with respect to principal and premium, if any, of the
Senior Notes, specifying the principal of, and premium, if any, on the Senior
Notes then due and payable and the amount of funds required to make such
payment, and, with respect to interest on the Senior Note, specifying the last
date to which interest has been paid and the amount of funds required to make
such payment.

ARTICLE II
DIVIDEND COVENANT
SECTION 4. The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as any of the
bonds of the Sixty-ninth Series remain Outstanding, the Company will not declare
or pay any dividends upon its common stock (other than dividends in common
stock) or make any other distributions on its common stock or purchase or
otherwise retire any shares of its common stock, unless immediately after such
declaration, payment, purchase, retirement or distribution (hereinafter in this
Section referred to as "Restricted Payments"), and giving effect thereto, the
amount arrived at by adding
(a) the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Payments (other
than the dividend of fifty cents ($.50) per share declared on December
8, 1948 and paid on February 1, 1949 to holders of Common Stock) made by
the Company during the period from December 31, 1948, to and including
the effective date of the Restricted Payment in respect of which the
determination is being made, plus
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cumulative
dividends for such period (whether or not paid) on all preferred stock
of the Company from time to time outstanding during such period, at the
rate or rates borne by such preferred stock, plus
(c) an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which fifteen per
centum (15%) of the Gross Operating Revenues of the Company for such
period shall exceed the aggregate amount during such period expended
and/or accrued on its books for maintenance and/or appropriated on its
books out of income for property retirement, in each case in respect of
the Mortgaged and Pledged Property and/or automotive equipment used
primarily in the electric utility business of the Company (but excluding
any provisions for amortization of any amounts included in utility plant
acquisition adjustment accounts or utility plant adjustment accounts),
will not exceed the amount of the aggregate net income of the Company for said
period available for dividends (computed and ascertained in accordance with
sound accounting practice, on a cumulative basis, including the making of proper
deductions for any deficits occurring during any part of such period), plus
$3,000,000.
The Company further covenants and agrees that not later than May 1 of
each year beginning with the year 1999 it will furnish to the Corporate Trustee
a Treasurer's Certificate stating whether or not the Company has fully observed
the restrictions imposed upon it by the covenant contained in this Section 4.
