Repayment Date) will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall
be payable. Should the Company default in the payment of interest ("Defaulted
Interest"), the Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in whose name
this bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is registered on a subsequent
record date fixed by the Company, which subsequent record date shall be fifteen

in The City of New York are not required or authorized by law to close.]2
Payment of the principal of and interest on this bond will be made in
immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company maintained

[Reverse of Bond]
This bond is one of the bonds, of a series designated as Medium Term
Note Series of an authorized issue of bonds of the Company, known as First
Mortgage Bonds, not limited as to maximum aggregate principal amount, all issued
or issuable in one or more series under and equally secured (except insofar as
any sinking fund, replacement fund or other fund established in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned may afford additional
security for the bonds of any specific series) by an Indenture of Mortgage and
Deed of Trust dated July 1, 1945, duly executed and delivered by the Company to
The Marine Midland Trust Company of New York (now HSBC Bank USA), as Trustee, as
supplemented and modified by ______ supplemental indentures (such Indenture of
Mortgage and Deed of Trust as so supplemented and modified being hereinafter
called the "Indenture"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto, reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged
and pledged as security for said bonds, the nature and extent of the security,
and the rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the rights of
the holders of said bonds and of the Trustee and of the Company in respect of
such security, and the terms upon which said bonds may be issued thereunder.
[This bond will not be subject to any sinking fund.]4
This bond may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on
the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, indicated on the face hereof. If no
Optional Repayment Dates are set forth on the face hereof, this bond may not be
so repaid at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity. On any Optional
Repayment Date this bond shall be repayable in whole or in part in increments of
$1,000 (provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be at least $100,000)
at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the
principal amount to be repaid, together with interest thereon payable to the
date of repayment. For this bond to be repaid in whole or in part at the option
of the holder hereof, this bond must be received, with the form entitled "Option
to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, by the Trustee at 000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, or such address which the Company shall from time to
time notify the holders of the bonds, not more than 60 nor less than 20 days
prior to an Optional Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the
holder hereof shall be irrevocable.
This bond may be redeemed by the Company on any date on and after the
Initial Regular Redemption Date, if any, indicated on the face hereof. If no
Initial Regular Redemption Date is set forth on the face hereof, this bond may
not be redeemed prior to maturity, except as provided in the second succeeding
paragraph. On and after the Initial Regular Redemption Date, if any, this bond
may be redeemed at any time in whole or from time to time in part in increments
of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be at least
$100,000) at the option of the Company at the applicable Regular Redemption
Price (as defined below) together with interest thereon payable to the date of
such redemption, on notice given not more than 90 nor less than 30 days prior to
such date. Any date on which Bonds are to be redeemed is herein called a
"Redemption Date".
The "Regular Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Regular
Redemption Percentage, shown on the face hereof, of the principal amount of this
bond to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Regular
Redemption Date, shown on the face hereof, by the Annual
-7-
9
Regular Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, shown on the face hereof, of
the principal amount to be redeemed until the Regular Redemption Price is 100%
of such principal amount.
The Bonds may be redeemed prior to maturity as a whole at any time or
in part from time to time (in increments as specified in the second preceding
paragraph) in the instances provided in the Indenture by the application of
proceeds of the sale or disposition substantially as an entirety of the
Company's electric properties at Portland, Oregon, upon payment of the principal
amount thereof, together with interest accrued to the date of such redemption,
on notice given as provided in such second preceding paragraph.
[Interest payments on this bond will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
Interest payments for this bond will be computed and paid on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.]2
If this bond or any portion thereof ($1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof) is duly called for redemption and payment duly provided for as
specified in the Indenture, this bond or such portion thereof shall cease to be
entitled to the lien of the Indenture from and after the date payment is so
provided for and shall cease to bear interest from and after the redemption date
fixed for such redemption.
In the event of the selection for redemption of a portion only of the
principal of this bond, payment of the redemption price will be made only upon
surrender of this bond in exchange for a bond or bonds (but only of authorized
denominations) for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of this bond.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent
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
percent 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 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, (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 transfer of this bond is registrable by the registered owner hereof
in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York,
upon surrender of this bond for cancellation and upon payment of any taxes or
other governmental charges payable upon such transfer, and thereupon a new
registered bond or bonds of the same series and of a like aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange therefor.
-8-

The Company, the Trustee and any paying agent may deem and treat the
person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for
the purpose of receiving payments of or an account of the principal hereof and
interest due hereon, and for all other purposes, whether or not this bond shall
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
Bonds of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. The registered
owner of this bond at his option may surrender the same for cancellation at said
office of the Trustee and receive in exchange therefor the same aggregate
principal amount of registered bonds of the same series and with the same terms
and provisions, including the same issue date, maturity date, and redemption
provisions, if any, and which bear interest at the same rate, but of other
authorized denominations, upon payment of any taxes or other governmental
charges payable upon such exchange and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture.
If an event of default as defined in the Indenture shall occur, the
principal of this bond may become or be declared due and payable before maturity
in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The holders,
however, of certain specified percentages of the bonds at the time outstanding,
including in certain cases specified percentages of bonds of particular series,
may in the cases, to the extent and as provided in the Indenture, waive certain
defaults thereunder and the consequences of such defaults.
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, against any incorporator, shareholder, director or
officer, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor
or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or such
predecessor or successor corporation, 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, shareholders, directors and officers, as such,
being waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by the acceptance of
this bond and as provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture provides that this bond shall be deemed to be a contract
made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of said State.

(5)[ARTICLE ONE.
AMENDMENTS TO THE MORTGAGE
SECTION 1.01. Amendments to Subsections A and G of Section 1.10 of the
Mortgage. The holders of all outstanding Bonds of all Series having consented
thereto, Subsections A and G of Section 1.10 of the Mortgage are and shall
hereby be amended so as to read as follows:
"A. The term 'bondable public utility property' shall mean and
comprise any tangible property now owned or hereafter acquired by the
Company and subjected to the lien of this Indenture, which is located
in the States of Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, New Mexico,
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Alaska and is used or is
useful to it in the business of furnishing or distributing electricity
for heat, light or power or other use, or supplying hot water or steam
for heat or power or steam for other purposes, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, all properties necessary or
appropriate for purchasing, generating, manufacturing, producing,
transmitting, supplying, distributing and/or disposing of electricity,
hot water or steam; provided, however, that the term 'bondable public
utility property' shall not be deemed to include any nonbondable
property, as defined in Subsection B of this Section 1.10, or any
excepted property."
"G. The term 'minimum provision for depreciation' for the
period from March 31, 1945 through December 31, 1966, as applied to
bondable public utility property, whether or not subject to a prior
lien, shall mean $35,023,487.50.
"The term 'minimum provision for depreciation' for any
calendar year subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to bondable
public utility property, shall mean the greater of (i) an amount equal
to 2% of depreciable bondable public utility property, as shown by the
books of the Company as of January 1 of such year, with respect to
which the Company was as of that date required, in accordance with
sound accounting practice, to make
-12-
14
appropriations to a reserve or reserves for depreciation or
obsolescence, or (ii) the amount actually appropriated by the Company
on its books of account to a reserve or reserves for depreciation or
obsolescence in respect of depreciable bondable public utility property
for such calendar year, in either case less an amount equal to the
aggregate of (a) the amount of any property additions which during such
calendar year were included in an officers' certificate filed with the
Trustee as the basis for a sinking fund credit pursuant to the
provisions of a sinking fund for Bonds of any series and which as a
result of having been so included have been deemed, either without time
limit or only so long as any Bonds of such series are outstanding, to
have been 'included in an officers' certificate filed with the Trustee
as the basis for a sinking fund credit' and to have been 'made the
basis for action or credit hereunder' as such term is defined in
Subsection H of Section 1.10 of the Original Indenture, and (b) 1662/3%
of the principal amount of Bonds of any series which shall have been
delivered to the Trustee as a credit, or which the Company shall have
elected to apply as a credit, against any sinking fund payment due
during such calendar year for Bonds of any series, or which shall have
been redeemed in anticipation of, or out of moneys paid to the Trustee
on account of, any sinking fund payment due during such calendar year
for Bonds of any series and which as a result of having been so made
the basis of a credit upon a sinking fund payment and/or so redeemed by
operation of a sinking fund shall have been disqualified, either
without time limit or only so long as any Bonds of such series are
outstanding, from being made the basis of the authentication and
delivery of Bonds or of any other further action or credit under the
Original Indenture or any supplemental indenture. Bonds delivered to
the Trustee as, or applied as, a credit against any sinking fund
payment and Bonds redeemed in anticipation of any sinking fund payment,
regardless of the time when they were actually delivered, applied or
redeemed, for purposes of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to
have been delivered, applied or redeemed, as the case may be, on the
sinking fund payment date when such sinking fund payment was due. Bonds
redeemed out of moneys paid to the Trustee on account of any sinking
fund payment shall, regardless of the date when they were redeemed, for
purposes of the second preceding sentence, be deemed to have been
redeemed on the later of (i) the date on which such moneys were paid to
the Trustee or (ii) the sinking fund payment date when such sinking
fund payment was due."
"The minimum provision for depreciation for any calendar year
subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to bondable public utility
property not subject to a prior lien, shall be determined as set forth
in the paragraph immediately preceding, except that all references
therein to 'depreciable bondable public utility property' shall be
deemed to be 'depreciable bondable public utility property not subject
to a prior lien'.
"The minimum provision for depreciation as applied to bondable
public utility property and the minimum provision for depreciation as
applied to bondable public utility property not subject to a prior lien
for any period commencing subsequent to December 31, 1966 which is of
twelve whole calendar months' duration but is other than a calendar
year or which is of less than twelve whole calendar months' duration
shall be determined by multiplying the number of whole calendar months
in such period by one-twelfth of the corresponding minimum provision
for depreciation for the most recent calendar year
-13-
15
completed prior to the end of such period, and fractions of a calendar
month shall be disregarded.
"The aggregate amount of the minimum provision for
depreciation as applied to bondable public utility property and the
aggregate amount of the minimum provision for depreciation as applied
to bondable public utility property not subject to a prior lien from
March 31, 1945 to any date shall be the sum of the corresponding
minimum provision for depreciation for each completed calendar year
between December 31, 1966 and such date, plus (1) the corresponding
minimum provision for depreciation for the period, if any, from the end
of the most recent such completed calendar year to such date, in each
case determined as set forth above, plus (2) $35,023,487.50, plus (3)
an amount equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of any property
additions which, between December 31, 1966 and such date, became
property additions of the character described in clause (a) of the
second paragraph of this Subsection G and which, thereafter, also
between December 31, 1966 and such date, became 'available additions'
as a result of the fact that all Bonds of such series ceased to be
outstanding, and (b) 1662/3% of the principal amount of Bonds of any
series which, between December 31, 1966 and such date, become Bonds of
the character described in clause (b) of the second paragraph of this
Subsection G and which, thereafter, also between December 31, 1966 and
such date, became 'available Bond retirements' as a result of the fact
that all Bonds of such series ceased to be outstanding."
SECTION 1.02. Other Amendments to the Mortgage. The holders of all
outstanding Bonds of all Series having consented thereto:
(1) Subsection H of Section 1.10 of the Mortgage is and hereby
shall be amended by inserting before the semicolon preceding clause
(ii) thereof, and as a part of clause (1) thereof, the words "if, to

additions so included in an officers' certificate as the basis for
further action or credit hereunder"; Subsection I of Section 1.10 of

become 'available additions' as a result of the
fact that all Bonds of such series ceased to be
outstanding, is $...............
"(6) The aggregate amount of available additions
heretofore made the basis for action or credit
under said Indenture of Mortgage and which have
not subsequently again become 'available
additions' as set forth in Item 5 above, namely

Bonds of such series, which have subsequently
become 'available Bond retirements' as a result
of the fact that all Bonds of such series ceased
to be outstanding is $........."

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING THERETO.
SECTION 2.01. Certain Terms of Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series .
The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series shall

The definitive Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series shall be issuable
only in fully registered form without coupons in the denomination of $1,000, or
any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Mortgage, each Bond of the

shall mature on such date not less than nine months nor more than thirty years
from such date, shall bear interest from such date, shall bear interest at such
rate or rates, which may be fixed or variable, and have such other terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Mortgage as the Board of Directors of the
Company, or any officer of the Company acting pursuant to authority granted by

Term Note Series by any authorized officer of the Company being, with regard to
any holder of such bond, conclusive evidence of such approval). Interest on
Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series shall be payable on the dates established
on the date of first authentication of such Bond ("Original Issue Date"). The
person in whose name any Bond of the Medium Term Note Series is registered at
the close of business on the applicable record date with respect to any interest
payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such
interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any
registration of transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such record date and
prior to such interest payment date, unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such
defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond is
registered on a subsequent record date fixed by the Company, which subsequent
record date shall be fifteen (15) days prior to the payment of such defaulted
interest. Such interest payments shall be made in such manner and in such places
as provided on the Form of Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series set forth in
this Supplemental Indenture. The principal of the Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America

Bonds shall be payable in like coin or currency at said office or agency.
The definitive Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series may be issued in

denominations of like aggregate principal amount.
The Trustee hereunder shall, by virtue of its office as such Trustee,
be the registrar and transfer agent of the Company for the purpose of
registering and registering the transfer of Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.11 of the Mortgage, no

Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series , but the Company at its option may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
incident thereto.
SECTION 2.02. Redemption Provisions for Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series . The Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series shall be subject to redemption
prior to maturity as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, including

Directors may determine, and as set forth on the Form of Bonds of the Medium

taking, purchase or sale of any property subject to the lien of the Mortgage in
the manner set forth in said Section.

through the application of proceeds of the sale or disposition substantially as

proceeds are required by the provisions of Section 7.01 of the Mortgage to be
applied to the retirement of Bonds, upon payment of the principal amount thereof
together with interest thereon payable to the date of redemption.
SECTION 2.03. Sections 4.04, 4.05 and 4.06 to Remain in Effect.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.07 of the Mortgage, the provisions
of Sections 4.04, 4.05, and 4.06 of the Mortgage shall remain in full force and
effect and shall be performed by the Company so long as any Bonds of the Medium
Term Note Series remain outstanding. The Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series
which are redeemable on the payment of a Regular Redemption Price as provided

Bond of the Medium Term Note Series so selected for redemption in its entirety
or (iii) to exchange or register the transfer of any portion of a Bond of the

Certificate of Available Additions. So long as any Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series remain outstanding, all references to the minimum provision for
depreciation in the form of certificate of available additions set forth in

additions filed with the Trustee, but whenever Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series shall no longer be outstanding, all references to such minimum provisions
for depreciation may be omitted from any such certificate.
SECTION 2.07. Duration of Article Two. This Article shall be of force
and effect only so long as any Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series are
outstanding.
ARTICLE THREE.
