(including those pertaining to any sinking or other fund) may be changed and
modified, with the consent of the Company, by the holders of at least 75% in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, such percentage being
determined as provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that in case such
changes and modifications affect one or more but less than all series of Bonds
then outstanding, they shall be required to be adopted only by the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Bonds of such one or more series so affected; and further provided, that without

which will extend the time of payment of the principal of, or of the interest or
premium, if any, on this Bond or reduce the principal amount hereof or the rate
of interest or the premium, if any, hereon, or affect any other modification of
the terms of payment of such principal or interest, or premium, if any, or will
permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of
the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property, or will deprive the holder

equal in principal amount to such Authority Bonds shall be deemed to have been
paid, but only when and to the extent (a) so noted on the Schedule of Payments

agency is not the Trustee) written notice by such agency of such notation has
been received by the Trustee or (b) such Bond is surrendered to and cancelled by

principal amount of Bonds of this Series equal to the aggregate principal amount
of such Authority Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid, but, in the case of
such payment of principal, only when and to the extent (i) so noted on the
Schedule of Payments hereon by one of the agencies of the Company hereinabove
specified and (if such agency is not the Trustee) written notice by such agency
of such notation has been received by the Trustee or (ii) this Bond is

Bond shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. In the event that
this Bond shall be deemed to have been paid in part, this Bond may, at the
option of the registered owner, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation,
in which event the Trustee shall cancel this Bond and the Company shall execute

prior to maturity, upon not less than 30 days prior notice, in whole or in part
at any time, all as more fully provided in Section 1 of Article II of the
Supplemental Indenture, in the event the Company exercises its option to direct

whole or in part upon a final determination by any federal judicial or
administrative authority that interest on the Authority Bonds is includable for
federal income tax purposes in the gross income of the holders of the Authority
Bonds (other than because a holder is a "substantial user" of the Project
Facilities or a "related person" thereof, as those terms are used in Section
147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and an equivalent
amount of Authority Bonds are being concurrently called for redemption, in each

     Any redemption of the Bonds of this Series shall be made in accordance with
the applicable provisions of Sections 5.02, 5.03, 5.04 and 5.05 of the Original
Indenture, unless and to the extent waived in writing by the registered owner or
owners of all Bonds of this Series and such waiver is filed with the Trustee.
 
     If this Bond shall be called for redemption and payment of the redemption
price shall be duly provided by the Company as specified in the Indenture,
interest shall cease to accrue hereon from and after the date of redemption
fixed in the notice thereof.
 
     The principal of this Bond may be declared or may become due before the
maturity hereof, on the conditions, in the manner and at the times set forth in
the Indenture, upon the happening of a default as therein defined.
 
     This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by
his or her duly authorized attorney at the office or agency of the Company in
The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond, and
thereupon a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of this Series and maturity, for
the same aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations, will be issued
to the transferee in exchange therefor, as provided in the Indenture. The
Company and 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 payment and for all other purposes. This Bond, alone or with other
Bonds of this Series and maturity, may in like manner be exchanged at such
office or agency for one or more new fully registered Bonds of this Series and
maturity, in authorized denominations, of the same aggregate principal amount.
Upon each such transfer, exchange and re-exchange, the Company will not require
the payment of any charges, other than for any tax or other governmental charge
required to be paid by the Company in connection therewith. In the event less
than all of the Bonds of this Series at the time
<PAGE>   13
 
                                       10
 
outstanding are called for redemption, the Company shall not be required (a) to
register any transfer or make any exchange of any such Bond for a period of 15
days before the mailing of the notice of redemption of any such Bond, (b) to
register any transfer or make any exchange of any such Bond so called for
redemption in its entirety, or (c) to register any transfer or make any exchange
of any portion of any such Bond so called for redemption.
 
     No recourse under or upon any covenant or obligation of the Indenture, or
of any indenture supplemental thereto, or of this Bond, for the payment of the
principal of or the interest on this Bond, or for any claim based thereon, or
otherwise in any manner in respect thereof, shall be had against any
incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director,
as such, of the Company, whether former, present or future, either directly, or
indirectly through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation or
the Trustee, by the enforcement of any subscription to capital stock, assessment
or otherwise, or by any legal or equitable proceeding by virtue of any
constitution, statute, or otherwise (including, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, any proceeding to enforce any claimed liability of
stockholders of the Company based upon any theory of disregarding the corporate
entity of the Company or upon any theory that the Company was acting as the
agent or instrumentality of the stockholders), any and all such liability of
incorporators, stockholders, subscribers, officers and directors, as such, being
released by the holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Bond, and being
likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.
 
     This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the
certificate of authentication endorsed hereon shall have been signed by The
Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) or its successor, as Trustee under
the Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE I
                CREATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BONDS OF THIS SERIES
 
     SECTION 1. A new series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the
Indenture is hereby created, to be designated as First Mortgage Bonds, 7 3/4%
Series due 2020-A (such bonds herein referred to as the "Bonds of this Series").
The Bonds of this Series shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of
$35,000,000, excluding any Bonds of this Series which may be authenticated in
exchange for or in lieu of or in substitution for or on transfer of other Bonds
of this Series pursuant to any provisions of the Original Indenture or of this
Supplemental Indenture. The Bonds of this Series shall be substantially in the
form hereinbefore recited.
 
     SECTION 2. All Bonds of this Series shall mature May 1, 2020 and shall bear
interest from July 15, 1995 at the rate of 7 3/4% per annum payable semiannually
on the same dates as interest is payable on the Authority Bonds.
 
     SECTION 3. Both principal and interest shall be payable, so long as the
registered owner of the Bonds of this Series is the Authority Trustee, at the
agency of the Company in the City of Cleveland, State of Ohio, but if and when
the registered owner of the Bonds of this Series is not the Authority Trustee,
shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York;
and both principal and interest shall be payable in any coin or
<PAGE>   17
 
                                       14
 
currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.
 
     SECTION 4. The Bonds of this Series shall be issued only as fully
registered Bonds in denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
 
     SECTION 5. Bonds of this Series shall be transferable and exchangeable for
other Bonds of the same series at the office or agency of the Company in The
City of New York, in the manner and upon the terms set forth in sec. 2.05 of the
Original Indenture, but notwithstanding the provisions of sec. 2.08 of the
Original Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any transfer or exchange of
Bonds of said series other than for any tax or taxes or other governmental
charge required to be paid by the Company. In the event less than all of the
Bonds of this Series at the time outstanding are called for redemption, the
Company shall not be required (a) to register any transfer or make any exchange
of any such Bond for a period of 15 days before the mailing of the notice of
redemption of any such Bond, (b) to register any transfer or make any exchange
of any such Bond so called for redemption in its entirety, or (c) to register
any transfer or make any exchange of any portion of any such Bond so called for
redemption.
 
     SECTION 6. The person in whose name any Bond of this Series is registered
at the close of business on any record date (as defined in the text of the Form
of Bond of this Series set forth in this Supplemental Indenture) with respect to
any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on
such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such registered
Bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and
prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent 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 (or any Bond or Bonds of this Series issued, directly or after
intermediate transactions, upon transfer or exchange or in substitution thereof)
is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest or on a
subsequent record date for such payment if one shall have been established as
hereinafter provided. A subsequent record date may be established by the Company
by notice mailed to the holders of Bonds of this Series not less than 10 days
preceding such record date, which record date shall be not more than 15 days
prior to the subsequent interest payment date.

     SECTION 7. Except as provided in this Article I, every Bond of this Series
shall be dated and shall bear interest as provided in sec. 2.04 of the Original
Indenture; provided, however, that, so long as there is no existing default in
the payment of interest on said Bonds, the holder of any Bond of this Series
authenticated by the Trustee between the record date for any interest payment
date and such interest payment date shall not be entitled to the payment of the
interest due on such interest payment date and shall have no claim against the
Company with respect thereto; provided, further, that, if and to the extent the
Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest
payment date, then any such Bond shall bear interest from the interest payment
date next preceding the date of such Bond to which interest has been paid or, if
the Company shall be in default with respect to the interest due on the first
interest payment date of such Bond, then from July 15, 1995.

     Any redemption under this Section 1 shall occur only upon receipt by the
Trustee of a certificate of the Company to the effect that (i) the Company has
given notice to the Authority Trustee that the Company is exercising its option
to direct redemption of Authority Bonds as provided in Section 4.01(a) or
4.01(c) of the Authority Trust Indenture and (ii) an equivalent principal amount
of Authority Bonds are being currently called for redemption. Such certificate
shall specify the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed,
shall have attached to it a copy of said notice to the Authority Trustee and
shall specify the redemption date of such Bonds of this Series, which redemption
date shall not be less than 45 days from the date of the Trustee's receipt of
such certificate and shall be the same as the redemption date specified in the
attached notice for the Authority Bonds being concurrently redeemed.
 
     SECTION 2.(a) The Bonds of this Series shall be subject to mandatory
redemption by the Company in whole at any time prior to maturity if the Trustee
shall receive a written demand from the Authority Trustee for redemption of all
Bonds of this Series held by the Authority Trustee, stating that an "event of
default" under the Authority Trust Indenture has occurred and is continuing and
that payment of the principal of the Authority Bonds has been accelerated;
provided, however, that the Bonds of this Series shall not be redeemed under
this Section 2(a) in the event that prior to the date fixed for redemption: (i)
the Trustee shall have received a certificate of the Authority Trustee (a)
stating that there has been a waiver of such acceleration or (b) withdrawing
said written demand, or (ii) if an event of default under Section 9.01 of
Article 9 of the Original Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, there
has been an acceleration of the principal of the Bonds of this Series. Any such
redemption shall be made on a date selected by the Company not more than 45 days
after receipt of the written demand at a redemption price of 100% of the
principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption.

     (b) The Bonds of this Series shall also be subject to special mandatory
redemption by the Company in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price
of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption, at the earliest practicable date selected by the Authority
Trustee, after consultation with the Company, but in any event no later than 180
days following the Authority Trustee's notification of a Determination of
Taxability (as defined in the Authority Trust Indenture). Any special mandatory
redemption hereunder shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a
certificate of the Company to the effect that the Company is delivering moneys
to redeem Bonds of this Series in order to provide the Authority Trustee with
the moneys needed to redeem Authority Bonds in accordance with Section 4.01(b)
of the Authority Trust Indenture. Such certificate shall specify the principal
amount of Authority Bonds to be redeemed and the redemption date of the Bonds of
this Series, which date shall be the same as the redemption date for the
Authority Bonds being concurrently redeemed.
 
     SECTION 3. The provisions of sec.5.02, sec.5.03, sec.5.04 and sec.5.05 of
the Original Indenture shall be applicable to Bonds of this Series, provided
that upon deposit with the Trustee of money to redeem Bonds of this Series, such
money shall be immediately available for payment.
 
     SECTION 4. The holder of each and every Bond of this Series issued
hereunder hereby agrees to accept payment thereof prior to maturity on the terms
and conditions provided for in this Article II.

                  PAYMENT DEEMED MADE OF BONDS OF THIS SERIES
 
     SECTION 1. In the event any Authority Bonds shall be purchased by the
Company and surrendered by it to the Authority Trustee for cancellation or shall
be otherwise surrendered to the Authority Trustee for cancellation pursuant to
the Authority Trust Indenture (except upon exchange for other Authority Bonds),
Bonds of this Series equal in principal amount and maturity to the Authority
Bonds so surrendered shall be deemed to have been paid, but only when and to the
extent that (a) such payment of the principal amount of such Bonds of this
Series shall be noted by an agency of the Company on the Schedule of Payments on
such Bonds of this Series and (if such agency is not the Trustee) written notice
by such agency of such notation shall have been received by the Trustee or (b)
such Bonds of this Series shall have been
<PAGE>   21
 
                                       18
 
surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee as provided in Section 3 of this
Article III.
 
     SECTION 2. In the event and to the extent the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on any Authority Bonds shall be paid out of funds held by the
Authority Trustee or out of any other funds or shall otherwise be deemed to be
paid, an equal amount of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, as the
case may be, Bonds of this Series shall be deemed to have been paid, but in the
case of such payments of principal on such Bonds of this Series, only when and
to the extent that (a) such payment of the principal amount of such Bonds of
this Series shall be noted by an agency of the Company on the Schedule of
Payments on such Bonds of this Series and (if such agency is not the Trustee)
written notice by such agency of such notation shall have been received by the
Trustee or (b) such Bonds of this Series shall have been surrendered to and
cancelled by the Trustee as provided in Section 3 of this Article III.
 
     SECTION 3. When payment of any principal amount of a Bond of this Series
shall be deemed to have been made as provided in Section 1 or 2 of this Article
III, the registered owner thereof shall surrender such Bond to an agency of the
Company for notation and notification or to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in said Section. All Bonds of this Series which shall be deemed to have
been paid in full as provided in said Section 1 or 2 shall be surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation and the Trustee shall forthwith cancel the same. In the
event that part of a Bond of this Series shall be deemed to have been paid as
provided in said Section 1 or 2, the registered owner may at its option
surrender such Bond to the Trustee for cancellation, in which event the Trustee
shall cancel such Bond and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, without charge to the registered owner, Bonds of this
Series in such authorized denominations as shall be specified by the registered
owner in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid balance of the
principal amount of such surrendered Bond.
 
                                   ARTICLE IV
                                  THE TRUSTEE
 
     SECTION 1. The Trustee accepts the trusts created by this Supplemental
Indenture upon the terms and conditions in the Original Indenture and in this
Supplemental Indenture set forth. The recitals in this Supplemental Indenture
are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee. Each and every term and
condition contained in Article 13 of the Original Indenture shall apply to
<PAGE>   22
 
                                       19
 
this Supplemental Indenture with the same force and effect as if the same were
herein set forth in full, with such omissions, variations and modifications
thereof as may be appropriate to make the same conform to this Supplemental
Indenture.
 
     SECTION 2. The Company shall cause any agency of the Company, other than
the Trustee, which it may appoint from time to time to act as such agency in
respect of the Bonds of this Series, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such agency shall:
 
          (a) Agree to keep and maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time
     to time as reasonably requested by the Trustee, appropriate records of all
     transactions carried out by it as such agency and to furnish the Trustee
     such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require;
     and
 
          (b) Certify that it is eligible for appointment as such agency and
     agree to notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be so eligible;
 
provided, however, that the Company, in lieu of causing any such agency to
furnish such an instrument, may make such other arrangements with the Trustee in
respect of any such agency as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.
 
     SECTION 3. The Trustee shall advise the Company, promptly, in writing of
the notation or receipt of written notice of notation on or cancellation of any
Bond of this Series provided for in Article III of this Supplemental Indenture.
 
                                   ARTICLE V
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
     SECTION 1. The Original Indenture, as heretofore supplemented, is in all
respects ratified and confirmed, and the Original Indenture, this Supplemental
Indenture and all other indentures supplemental to the Original Indenture shall
be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument. Neither the
execution of this Supplemental Indenture nor anything herein contained shall be
construed to impair the lien of the Indenture on any of the property subject
thereto, and such lien shall remain in full force and effect as security for all
bonds now outstanding or hereafter issued under the Indenture. All covenants and
