 The

        plus accrued interest thereon, if any, to the date fixed for redemption,
        upon

        Series
        2005-A (Ohio Edison Company Project) issued on behalf of the Company (the

        then outstanding under the Revenue Bond Indenture has been declared due and
        payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.02 of the Revenue Bond
        Indenture, specifying the date of the accelerated maturity of such Revenue
        Bonds
        and the date from which interest on the Revenue Bonds issued under the Revenue
        Bond Indenture has then accrued and is unpaid (specifying the rate or rates
        of
        such accrual and the principal amount of the particular Revenue Bonds to
        which
        such rates apply), stating such declaration of maturity has not been annulled
        and demanding payment of the principal amount hereof plus accrued interest
        hereon to the date fixed for such redemption. The date fixed for such redemption
        shall not be earlier than the date specified in the aforesaid written advice
        as
        the date of the accelerated maturity of the Revenue Bonds then outstanding
        under
        the Revenue Bond Indenture and not later than the 45 th day after receipt
        by the Trustee of such advice, unless such 45 th day is earlier
        than such date of accelerated maturity. The date fixed for such redemption
        shall
        be specified by the Revenue Bond Trustee in a notice of redemption to be
        given
        by the Trustee not less than 30 days prior to the date so fixed for such
        redemption. Upon mailing of such notice of redemption, the date from which
        unpaid interest on the Revenue Bonds has then accrued (as specified by the
        Revenue Bond Trustee) shall become the initial interest accrual date (the
        “Initial Interest Accrual Date”) with respect to the bonds of this series;
        provided, however, on any demand for payment of the principal amount hereof
        at
        maturity as a result of the principal of the Revenue Bonds becoming due and
        payable on the maturity date of the bonds of this series, the earliest date
        from
        which unpaid interest on the Revenue Bonds has then accrued shall become
        the
        Initial Interest Accrual Date with respect to the bonds of this series, such
        date, together with each other different date from which unpaid interest
        on the
        Revenue Bonds has then accrued, as to be stated in a written notice from
        the
        Revenue Bond Trustee to the Trustee, which notice shall also specify the
        rate or
        rates of such accrual and the principal amount of the particular Revenue
        Bonds
        to which such rate or rates apply. The aforementioned notice of redemption
        shall
        become null and void for all purposes under the Indenture, (including the
        fixing
        of the Initial Interest Accrual Date with respect to the bonds of this series)
        upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Revenue Bond Trustee
        of
        the annulment of the acceleration of the maturity of the Revenue Bonds then
        outstanding under the Revenue Bond Indenture and the rescission of the aforesaid
        written advice prior to the redemption date specified in such notice of
        redemption, and thereupon no redemption of the bonds of this series and no
        payment in respect thereof as specified in such notice of redemption shall
        be
        effected or required. But no such rescission shall extend to any subsequent
        written advice from the Revenue Bond Trustee or impair any right consequent
        on
        such subsequent written advice.
  5
 Bonds
        of this
        series are not otherwise redeemable prior to their maturity.
  The
“Revenue
        Bond
        Interest Rate” shall be the same rate of interest per annum as is borne by the
        Revenue Bonds; provided, however, that if there are different rates of interest
        borne by the Revenue Bonds, or if interest is required to be paid on the
        Revenue
        Bonds more frequently than on each April 1 or October 1, the
        Revenue
        Bond Interest Rate shall be the rate that results in the total amount of
        interest payable on an interest payment date, a redemption date or at maturity,
        as the case may be, or at any other time interest on this bond is due and
        payable, to be equal to the total amount of unpaid interest that has accrued
        on
        all then outstanding Revenue Bonds.
  The
        principal
        hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner
        and at
        the time set forth in the Indenture upon the occurrence and continuance of
        an
        Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) as in the Indenture
        provided.
  Bonds
        of this
        series shall be deemed to be paid and no longer outstanding under the Indenture
        to the extent the aggregate principal amount of bonds of this series exceeds
        the
        aggregate principal amount of the Revenue Bonds outstanding from time to
        time.
        The Trustee may rely on an Officer’s Certificate (as defined in the Indenture)
        to this effect.
  Unless
        and until
        the Trustee shall have received from the Revenue Bond Trustee any such aforesaid
        written advice stating that the principal amount of all Revenue Bonds then
        outstanding under the Revenue Bond Indenture has been declared due and payable
        or any demand for payment of the principal amount hereof at maturity as a
        result
        of the principal of the Revenue Bonds becoming due and payable on the maturity
        date of the bonds of this series, the Trustee may conclusively presume that
        the
        obligation of the Company to pay the principal of, and interest, if any,
        on the
        bonds of this series shall have been fully satisfied and
        discharged.
  From
        and after the
        Release Date (as defined in the Revenue Bond Indenture), 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 or promptly
        following, the bonds of this series shall be surrendered to and canceled
        by the
        Trustee.
  No
        recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, or
        interest if any, on this bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based
        thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented
        thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture,
        against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past,
        present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation,
        either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor
        corporation, whether by virtue of any Constitutional provision, statute or
        rule
        of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise,
        all
        such liability of incorporators, stockholders, officers and directors being
        released by the registered 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 a single registered bond without coupons in a
        denomination equal to the aggregate principal amount of bonds of this series
        outstanding. If and to the extent this bond becomes transferable, the registered
        owner hereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, may effectuate such
        transfer at an office or agency of the Company, in the Borough of Manhattan,
        The
        City of New York, New York or in the City of Akron, Ohio, upon surrender
        and
        cancellation of this bond and thereupon a new registered bond or bonds of
        the
        same series for a like principal amount, will be issued to the transferee
        in
        exchange therefor, as provided in the Indenture, and upon payment, if the
        Company shall require it, of the transfer charges therein prescribed. The
        Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this
        bond is
        registered as the absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of
        or on
        account of the principal and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.

 The
        bonds of this
        series shall be redeemed in whole, by payment of the principal amount thereof
        plus accrued interest thereon, if any, to the date fixed for redemption,
        upon
        receipt by the Trustee of a written advice from the trustee under the Trust
        Indenture (the “Revenue Bond Indenture”) dated as of April 1, 2005, between
        the Ohio Water Development Authority and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National
        Association, as successor trustee (such trustee and any successor trustee
        being
        hereinafter referred to as the “Revenue Bond Trustee”), securing $6,450,000 of
        State of Ohio Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2005-A (Ohio
        Edison Company Project) issued on behalf of the Company (the “Revenue Bonds”),
        stating that the principal amount of all the Revenue Bonds then outstanding
        under the Revenue Bond Indenture has been declared due and payable pursuant
        to
        the provisions of Section 11.02 of the Revenue Bond Indenture, specifying
        the
        date of the accelerated maturity of such Revenue Bonds and the date from
        which
        interest on the Revenue Bonds issued under the Revenue Bond Indenture has
        then
        accrued and is unpaid (specifying the rate or rates of such accrual and the
        principal amount of the particular Revenue Bonds to which such rates apply),
        stating such declaration of maturity has not been annulled and demanding
        payment
        of the principal amount hereof plus accrued interest hereon to the date fixed
        for such redemption. The date fixed for such redemption shall not be earlier
        than the date specified in the aforesaid written advice as the date of the
        accelerated maturity of the Revenue Bonds then outstanding under the Revenue
        Bond Indenture and not later than the 45 th day after receipt
        by the Trustee of such advice, unless such 45 th day is earlier
        than such date of accelerated maturity. The date fixed for such redemption
        shall
        be specified by the Revenue Bond Trustee in a notice of redemption to be
        given
        by the Trustee not less than 30 days prior to the date so fixed for such
        redemption. Upon mailing of such notice of redemption, the date from which
        unpaid interest on the Revenue Bonds has then accrued (as specified by the
        Revenue Bond Trustee) shall become the initial interest accrual date (the
        “Initial Interest Accrual Date”) with respect to the bonds of this series;
        provided, however, on any demand for payment of the principal amount hereof
        at
        maturity as a result of the principal of the Revenue Bonds becoming due and
        payable on the maturity date of the bonds of this series, the earliest date
        from
        which unpaid interest on the Revenue Bonds has then accrued shall become
        the
        Initial Interest Accrual Date with respect to the bonds of this series, such
        date, together with each other different date from which unpaid interest
        on the
        Revenue Bonds has then accrued, as to be stated in a written notice from
        the
        Revenue Bond Trustee to the Trustee, which notice shall also specify the
        rate or
        rates of such accrual and the principal amount of the particular Revenue
        Bonds
        to which such rate or rates apply. The aforementioned notice of redemption
        shall
        become null and void for all purposes under the Indenture, (including the
        fixing
        of the Initial Interest Accrual Date with respect to the bonds of this series)
        upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Revenue Bond Trustee
        of
        the annulment of the acceleration of the maturity of the Revenue Bonds then
        outstanding under the Revenue Bond Indenture and the rescission of the aforesaid
        written advice prior to the redemption date specified in such notice of
        redemption, and thereupon no redemption of the bonds of this series and no
        payment in respect thereof as specified in such notice of redemption shall
        be
        effected or required. But no such rescission shall extend to any subsequent
        written advice from the Revenue Bond Trustee or impair any right consequent
        on
        such subsequent written advice.

 Bonds
        of this
        series are not otherwise redeemable prior to their maturity.
  The
“Revenue
        Bond
        Interest Rate” shall be the same rate of interest per annum as is borne by the
        Revenue Bonds; provided, however, that if there are different rates of interest
        borne by the Revenue Bonds, or if interest is required to be paid on the
        Revenue
        Bonds more frequently than on each April 1 or October 1, the
        Revenue
        Bond Interest Rate shall be the rate that results in the total amount of
        interest payable on an interest payment date, a redemption date or at maturity,
        as the case may be, or at any other time interest on this bond is due and
        payable, to be equal to the total amount of unpaid interest that has accrued
        on
        all then outstanding Revenue Bonds.
  The
        principal
        hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner
        and at
        the time set forth in the Indenture upon the occurrence and continuance of
        an
        Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) as in the Indenture
        provided.
  Bonds
        of this
        series shall be deemed to be paid and no longer outstanding under the Indenture
        to the extent the aggregate principal amount of bonds of this series exceeds
        the
        aggregate principal amount of the Revenue Bonds outstanding from time to
        time.
        The Trustee may rely on an Officer’s Certificate (as defined in the Indenture)
        to this effect.
  Unless
        and until
        the Trustee shall have received from the Revenue Bond Trustee any such aforesaid
        written advice stating that the principal amount of all Revenue Bonds then
        outstanding under the Revenue Bond Indenture has been declared due and payable
        or any demand for payment of the principal amount hereof at maturity as a
        result
        of the principal of the Revenue Bonds becoming due and payable on the maturity
        date of the bonds of this series, the Trustee may conclusively presume that
        the
        obligation of the Company to pay the principal of, and interest, if any,
        on the
        bonds of this series shall have been fully satisfied and
        discharged.
  From
        and after the
        Release Date (as defined in the Revenue Bond Indenture), 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 or promptly
        following, the bonds of this series shall be surrendered to and canceled
        by the
        Trustee.
  No
        recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, or
        interest if any, on this bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based
        thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented
        thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture,
        against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past,
        present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation,
        either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor
        corporation, whether by virtue of any Constitutional provision, statute or
        rule
        of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise,
        all
        such liability of incorporators, stockholders, officers and directors being
        released by the registered 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 a single registered bond without coupons in a
        denomination equal to the aggregate principal amount of bonds of this series
        outstanding. If and to the extent this bond becomes transferable, the registered
        owner hereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, may effectuate such
        transfer at an office or agency of the Company, in the Borough of Manhattan,
        The
        City of New York, New York or in the City of Akron, Ohio, upon surrender
        and
        cancellation of this bond and thereupon a new registered bond or bonds of
        the
        same series for a like principal amount, will be issued to the transferee
        in
        exchange therefor, as provided in the Indenture, and upon payment, if the
        Company shall require it, of the transfer charges therein prescribed. The
        Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this
        bond is
        registered as the absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of
        or on
        account of the principal and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.
