FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, PLEDGE SERIES A OF 2001 DUE 2021
This bond is one of the bonds issued and to be issued from time to time
under and in accordance with and all secured by an indenture of mortgage or deed
of trust dated as of November 1, 1945, and indentures supplemental thereto,
given by the Company to Citibank, N.A. (successor to The First National Bank of
The City of New York), as trustee (hereinafter referred to as the "Trustee"), to
which indenture and indentures supplemental thereto (hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Indenture") reference is hereby made for a description of
the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security and
the rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee and the rights of
the holders of the bonds and coupons and of the Trustee and of the Company in
respect of such security, and the limitations on such rights. By the terms of
the Indenture, the bonds to be secured thereby are issuable in series which may
vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of interest, terms of redemption
and in other respects as in the Indenture provided.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five per centum in
principal amount of the bonds (exclusive of bonds disqualified by reason of the
Company's interest therein) at the time outstanding, including, if more than one
series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less than sixty per centum
in principal amount of each series affected, to effect, by an indenture
supplemental to the Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Indenture and
of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of
the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such modification or
alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the holder
hereof which will (a) extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest hereon or reduce the amount of the
principal hereof or reduce any premium payable on the redemption hereof, or (b)
permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a
parity with the lien of the Indenture, or (c) reduce the percentage of the
principal amount of the bonds upon the approval or consent of the holders of
which modifications or alterations may be made as aforesaid.
The bonds of this series are issued and to be issued in order to provide
security to Ambac Assurance Corporation, a Wisconsin domiciled stock insurance
corporation ("the Insurer") in connection with its issuance of a financial
guaranty insurance policy (the "Policy") in favor of the holders of the
Authority Bonds pursuant to the Insurance Agreement (the "Insurance Agreement")
dated as of June 27, 2001 between the Insurer and the Company. In order to
provide monies to fund a loan made by the Authority to the Company pursuant to a
Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement dated as of June 1, 2001 between the
Authority and the Company (the "Loan Agreement"), the Authority has issued the
Authority Bonds under and pursuant to the Authority Indenture. Payments made by
the Company of principal and interest on the bonds of this series are intended
to be sufficient to reimburse the Insurer for any payments of principal and
interest made by the Insurer on the Authority Bonds pursuant to the Policy.
The bonds of this series are not transferable except (i) as required to
effect an assignment to a successor of the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement
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.
The "Initial Interest Payment Date" on the bonds of this series shall be
the date one (1) business day following the receipt by the Insurer of written
notification of Nonpayment (as defined in the Policy) of interest on the
Authority Bonds when such interest shall have come Due for Payment (as defined
in the Policy), written notification of which the Insurer shall provide to the
Company and the Trustee, and the "Initial Interest Accrual Date" shall be the
date six months prior to such Initial Interest Payment Date. The next Interest
Payment Date shall be the date six months after the Initial Interest Payment
Date, and each successive Interest Payment Date shall be the date six months
after the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that
the last Interest Payment Date shall be the date of maturity of the bonds of
this series and the interest so payable on such maturity date shall accrue from
the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to but not including such
maturity date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the amount of
interest payable on the bonds of the series on any Interest Payment Date
(including the Initial Interest Payment Date) shall not exceed the amount
actually paid to holders of Authority Bonds by the Insurer under the Policy in
respect of the Nonpayment of interest Due for Payment on the Authority Bonds
over the period from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to and
including such Interest Payment Date (or if such Interest Payment Date is the
Initial Interest Payment Date, then from the Initial Interest Accrual Date to
such Interest Payment Date).
The Company's obligation to make payments with respect to the principal of
and/or interest on the bonds of this 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 interest on the
Authority Bonds shall have been fully or partially paid (other than by the
application of the proceeds of any payment by the Insurer under the Policy), as
the case may be, or there shall have been deposited with the Authority Trustee
pursuant to the Authority 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 interest on the Authority Bonds (other than by the
application of the proceeds of any payment by the Insurer under the Policy).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Indenture to the contrary,
the Company shall be obligated to make payments with respect to the principal of
and/or interest on the bonds of this series only to the extent that the Insurer
has made a payment with respect to the Authority Bonds under the Policy.
Upon payment of the principal of and interest due on the Authority Bonds,
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 Authority Indenture (other than by the application of the
proceeds of any payment by the Insurer under the Policy), the bonds of this
series in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of Authority Bonds 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 this series shall be surrendered to and
canceled by the Trustee. From and after the Release Date (as defined in the
Insurance Agreement), the bonds of this 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 this series shall be surrendered
to and canceled by the Trustee.
The bonds of this series are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or
in part, as the case may be, on each date that Authority Bonds are to be
redeemed. The principal amount of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed on any
such date shall be equal to the principal amount of Authority Bonds called for
redemption on that date. All redemptions of bonds of this series shall be at
100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption
date.
In case of certain defaults as specified in the Indenture, the principal
of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable on the conditions, at
the time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest
on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or
of the Indenture, to or against any incorporator, stockholder, director or
officer, past, present or future, as such, of the Company, or of any predecessor
or successor company, either directly or through the Company, or such
predecessor or successor company, or otherwise, under any constitution or
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or
otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and
officers, as such, being waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by
the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms
of the Indenture.
The bonds of this series are issuable only as registered bonds without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and, if higher, any authorized multiple of
$1,000. Except as may be stated in any legend written on the face of this bond,
this bond is transferable by the registered holder hereof, in person or by
attorney duly authorized, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City, County and State of New York, or at such other
place or places as the Company may designate by resolution of the Board of
Directors, but only in the manner and upon the conditions prescribed in the
Indenture, upon the surrender and cancellation of this bond and the payment of
charges for transfer, and upon any such transfer a new registered bond or bonds,
without coupons, of the same series and maturity date and for the same aggregate
principal amount, in authorized denominations, will be issued to the transferee
in exchange herefor. The Company, the Trustee and any agent designated to make
transfers or exchanges of bonds of this series may deem and treat the person in
whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner for all purposes
including the purpose of the receipt of payment. Registered bonds of this series
shall be exchangeable at said corporate trust office of the Trustee, or at such
other place or places as the Company may designate by resolution of the Board of
Directors, for registered bonds of other authorized denominations having the
same aggregate principal amount, in the manner and upon the conditions
prescribed in the Indenture. Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other
agent designated for such purpose shall be required to make transfers or
exchanges of bonds of this series during the period between any interest payment
date for such series and the record date next preceding such interest payment
date. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture, no charge shall be made
upon any transfer or exchange of bonds of this series other than for any tax or
taxes or other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company.
