[FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND]
This bond is one of an authorized issue of bonds of the
Company, unlimited as to amount except as provided in the
Indenture hereinafter mentioned or any indentures
supplemental thereto, and is one of a series of General and
Refunding Mortgage Bonds known as 1991 Series CP, limited to
an aggregate principal amount of $32,800,000, except as
otherwise provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned.
This bond and all other bonds of said series are issued and
to be issued under, and are all equally and ratably secured
(except insofar as any sinking, amortization, improvement or
analogous fund, established in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, may
afford additional security for the bonds of any particular
series and except as provided in Section 3 of Article VI of
said Indenture) by an Indenture, dated as of October 1,
1924, duly executed by the Company to Bankers Trust Company,
a corporation of the State of New York, as Trustee, to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including
the Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 1991)
reference is hereby made for a description of the properties
and franchises mortgaged and conveyed, the nature and extent
of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the
bonds are issued and under which additional bonds may be
issued, and the rights of the holders of the bonds and of
the Trustee in respect of such security (which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto, including the
Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 1991, are
hereinafter collectively called the "Indenture"). As
provided in the Indenture, said bonds may be for various
principal sums and are issuable in series, which may mature
at different times, may bear interest at different rates and
may otherwise vary as in said Indenture provided. With the
consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as
provided in the Indenture, the rights and obligations of the
Company and of the holders of the bonds and the terms and
provisions of the Indenture, or of any indenture
supplemental thereto, may be modified or altered in certain
respects by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five percent
(85%) in amount of the bonds then outstanding, and, if the
rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds
then outstanding are to be affected by the action proposed
to be taken, then also by affirmative vote of at least
eighty-five percent (85%) in amount of the series of bonds
so to be affected (excluding in every instance bonds
disqualified from voting by reason of the Company's interest
therein as specified in the Indenture); provided, however,
that, without the consent of the holder hereof, no such
modification or alteration shall, among other things, affect
the terms of payment of the principal of or the interest on
this bond, which in those respects is unconditional.
The holders of the bonds of 1991 Series CP, by their
acceptance of and holding thereof, consent and agree that
bonds of any series may be issued which mature on a date or
dates later than October 1, 2024 and also consent to the
deletion from the first paragraph of Section 5 of Article II
of the Indenture of the phrase "but in no event later than
October 1, 2024,". Such holders further agree that (a) such
consent shall, for all purposes of Article XV of the
Indenture and without further action on the part of such
holders, be deemed the affirmative vote of such holders at
any meeting called pursuant to said Article XV for the
purpose of approving such deletion, and (b) such deletion
shall become effective at such time as not less than
eighty-five per cent (85%) in principal amount of bonds
outstanding under the Indenture shall have consented thereto
substantially in the manner set forth in Section 4 of Part
II of the Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 1991, or
in writing, or by affirmative vote cast at a meeting called
pursuant to said Article XV, or by any combination thereof.
This bond is redeemable upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption
upon demand of the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture Trustee
following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Strategic Fund Trust Indenture and the acceleration of the
principal of the Strategic Fund Revenue Bonds.
24
22
Under the Indenture, funds may be deposited with the
Trustee (which shall have become available for payment), in
advance of the redemption date of any of the bonds of 1991
Series CP (or portions thereof), in trust for the redemption
of such bonds (or portions thereof) and the interest due or
to become due thereon, and thereupon all obligations of the
Company in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to
be redeemed and such interest shall cease and be discharged,
and the holders thereof shall thereafter be restricted
exclusively to such funds for any and all claims of
whatsoever nature on their part under the Indenture or with
respect to such bonds (or portions thereof) and interest.
In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture,
shall occur, the principal of all the bonds issued
thereunder may become or be declared due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions
provided in the Indenture.
Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Strategic Fund Revenue Bonds, whether at
maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise or
upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in
accordance with Article IV of the Strategic Fund Trust
Indenture, bonds of 1991 Series CP in a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such Strategic Fund Revenue
Bonds and having both a corresponding maturity date and
interest rate shall, to the extent of such payment of
principal, premium or interest, be deemed fully paid and the
obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment
shall forthwith cease and be discharged, and, in the case of
the payment of principal and premium, if any, such bonds of
said series shall be surrendered for cancellation or
presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee.
This bond is not assignable or transferable except as may
be required to effect a transfer to any successor trustee
under the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture, or, subject to
compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the
course of the exercise of rights and remedies consequent
upon an Event of Default under the Strategic Fund Trust
Indenture. Any such transfer shall be made by the registered
holder hereof, in person or by his attorney duly authorized
in writing, on the books of the Company kept at its office
or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of
New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and
thereupon, a new registered bond of the same series of
authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange
therefor, and this bond with others in like form may in like
manner be exchanged for one or more new bonds of the same
series of other authorized denominations, but of the same
aggregate principal amount, all as provided and upon the
terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and upon
payment, in any event, of the charges prescribed in the
Indenture.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal
of or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based
hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture,
or of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, or against any past, present or future
stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the Company,
or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either
directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or
successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock
subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or
rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise howsoever; all such liability being, by
the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released by every
holder or owner hereof, as more fully provided in the
Indenture.
