ances which in the opinion of counsel do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the lien of the mortgage indenture or the security afforded thereby for the benefit of bondholders; and

•

liens securing indebtedness for the payment of which money has been irrevocably deposited in trust and liens which have been bonded for the full amount in dispute or for the payment of which other adequate security arrangements have been made.

In addition, there are excepted from the lien of the mortgage indenture, among other things, the following:

•

cash and securities not paid to, deposited with or held by the mortgage trustee under the mortgage indenture;

•

contracts, leases and other agreements of all kinds, contract rights, bills, notes and other instruments, accounts receivable, claims, franchises, licenses, certain intellectual property rights and other general intangibles;

•

vehicles, movable equipment, aircraft and vessels;

•

goods, wares and merchandise held for sale in the ordinary course of business or for our use or benefit;

•

materials, supplies and other personal property consumable in the operations of our business;

•

office, communication, computer or record equipment;

•

coal, ore, gas, oil, minerals and timber mined or extracted from the land we own or lease;

•

electric energy, gas, steam water and other products produced or purchased;

•

leasehold interests;

•

books and records; and

•

properties not used or to be used in our electric or gas business.

Such property, so long as the same would otherwise constitute “property additions” (as described below), would thereupon constitute property additions and be available as a basis for the issuance of first mortgage bonds. See “— Issuance of Additional First Mortgage Bonds.”

The mortgage indenture contains provisions subjecting certain after-acquired property to the lien thereof. These provisions are limited in the case of consolidation or merger (whether or not we are the
