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
Seventy-third Series shall be limited to $800 million in aggregate
principal amount (with no more than $150 million in aggregate
principal amount to be Outstanding at any one time), except as
provided in Section 16 of the Mortgage, and shall be issued as
fully registered bonds in denominations of One Thousand Dollars and
in any multiple or multiples of One Thousand Dollars; each bond of
the Seventy-third Series shall mature on a date not more than sixty
days from the date of issue, shall bear interest at such rate or
rates and have such other terms and provisions not inconsistent

accordance with one or more resolutions filed with the Trustee and
one or more written orders referring to this Sixty-fifth
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, and interest on each

United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender
for public and private debts. Bonds of the Seventy-third Series
shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no existing
default in the payment of interest on the bonds of the Seventy-
third Series, the person in whose name any bond of the Seventy-
third 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;
provided that, interest payable on the maturity date will be
payable to the person to whom the principal thereof shall be
payable. "Record Date" for bonds of the Seventy-third Series,
shall mean the business day next preceding the corresponding
interest payment date. "Original Interest Accrual Date" with
respect to bonds of the Seventy-third Series of a designated
interest rate and maturity shall mean the date of first
authentication of Bonds of a designated interest rate and maturity
unless the written order filed for such bonds with the Trustee on
or before such date shall specify another date from which interest
shall accrue, in which case "Original Interest Accrual Date" shall
mean such other date specified in the written order for Bonds of
such designated interest rate and maturity.
(I) Each holder of a bond of the Seventy-third Series, except
as may be provided in the written order requesting authentication
and delivery of such bond, consents that the bonds of the Seventy-
third Series may be redeemable at the option of the Company or
pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture in whole at any time,
or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, without notice
provided in Section 52 of the Indenture, at the principal amount of
the bonds to be redeemed, in each case, together with accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption by the Company in a
notice delivered on or before the date fixed for redemption by the
Company to the Trustee and to the holders of the bonds to be
redeemed.
(II) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the
Seventy-third 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, interest rate,
maturity and other terms of other authorized denominations.
Bonds of the Seventy-third 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; provided that such transfer shall
not result in any security being required to be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company to such effect shall have been provided
