Bonds of the 2032 Series may be issued in the first instance (until definitive Bonds to be issued in exchange therefor are prepared and ready for delivery) as temporary Bonds dated March 10, 2021, in denominations of $1,000 and of such multiples of $1,000 as shall have been authorized, as aforesaid, numbered TR-1 consecutively upwards, in substantially the form of Bond set forth in Section 1.01B of this Ninety-fourth Supplemental Indenture, with changes therein appropriate to their character.
Bonds of the 2032 Series shall be dated as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the provisions of said Section 3.05, so long as there is no default in the payment of interest on Bonds of the 2032 Series existing at the time of the authentication hereinafter referred to, all Bonds of the 2032 Series authenticated by the Trustee on any interest payment date for Bonds of the 2032 Series shall be dated the date of and shall bear interest from such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of such interest due on such interest payment date, then any such Bond of the 2032 Series shall bear interest from the interest payment date immediately preceding the date of such Bond of the 2032 Series. The Bonds of the 2032 Series shall mature on June 15, 2032 and, beginning on March 10, 2021, shall bear interest at the rate of 2.35% per annum until the payment of the principal thereof, such interest to be payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 in each year, commencing December 15, 2021, and on the maturity date.  The interest so payable on any Bonds of the 2032 Series will be paid to the person in whose name such Bonds of the 2032 Series are registered.  If any interest payment date for the Bonds of the 2032 Series falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. If the maturity date or any redemption date of the Bonds of the 2032 Series falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest (to the extent payable with respect to the principal being redeemed if on a redemption date) will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the maturity date or such redemption date.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND OF THE 2032 SERIES]


ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC
FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, 2.35% SERIES
DUE JUNE 15, 2032 (Continued)
This bond is one of the bonds, of the above designated series, of an authorized issue of bonds of the Company, known as First Mortgage Bonds, issued or issuable in one or more series under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking and/or improvement 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 dated September 1, 1926, as supplemented and modified by indentures supplemental thereto, to and including a Ninety-fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2021 to The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, to which Indenture of Mortgage, as so supplemented and modified, and all indentures supplemental thereto (herein sometimes called the “Indenture”) 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.
The bonds of this series shall be issued by the Company, registered in the name of and delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, or its successor as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage (collectively, the “Collateral Trust Trustee”), to provide for the payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal and interest of the Securities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) to be issued from time to time under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.
Any payment by the Company under the Collateral Trust Mortgage of the principal of or interest on the Securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the Collateral Trust Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the Collateral Trust Trustee of bonds of this series (other than by application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such bonds) shall, to the extent of such payment, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of,  or interest on such bonds, as the case may be, which is then due. 
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on this bond as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that interest or principal due and payable on any Securities issued under the Collateral Trust Mortgage has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment. 
The holder of this bond hereby consents that the bonds of this series may be redeemable at the option of the Company or pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to the maturity date, without notice provided in Section 10.02 of the Indenture, at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, in each case, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption by the Company in a notice 










delivered to the Trustee and to the holder of the bonds to be redeemed on or before the date fixed for redemption.
The bonds of this series shall be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee (i) delivered to the Trustee and the Company, (ii) signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, (iii) stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Collateral Trust Mortgage and that, as a result, there then is due and payable a specified amount with respect to the Securities Outstanding under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, for the payment of which the Collateral Trust Trustee has not received funds, and (iv) specifying the principal amount of the bonds of this series to be redeemed.  Delivery of such notice shall constitute a waiver by the Collateral Trust Trustee of notice of redemption under the Indenture.
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 the 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; provided, however, that no such modification or alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the registered owner 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 (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. Each initial and future holder of the bonds of this series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article Three of the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.
This bond shall not be transferable by the Collateral Trust Trustee, except to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.  This bond so transferable to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage may be transferred by the registered owner hereof in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney at the corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York of the Trustee upon surrender of this bond for cancellation and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges provided for in the Indenture, and thereupon a new registered bond of the same series of like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.
The registered owner of this bond, at the option of said owner, may surrender the same for cancellation at said office and receive in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series but of other authorized denominations, upon payment, if the 
    15








Company shall so require, of the charges provided for in the Indenture and subject to the terms and conditions therein set forth.
If a 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 those cases, to the extent and under the conditions 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 company, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor company, 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.

Notwithstanding the provisions of said Section 3.05, so long as there is no default in the payment of interest on Bonds of the 2041 Series existing at the time of the authentication hereinafter referred to, all Bonds of the 2041 Series authenticated by the Trustee on any interest payment date for Bonds of the 2041 Series shall be dated the date of and shall bear interest from such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of such interest due on such interest payment date, then any such Bond of the 2041 Series shall bear interest from the interest payment date immediately preceding the date of such Bond of the 2041 Series. The Bonds of the 2041 Series shall mature on June 15, 2041 and, beginning on March 10, 2021, shall bear interest at the rate of 3.10% per annum until the

Interest on the Bonds of the 2041 Series will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Both principal of and interest on the Bonds of the 2041 Series will be paid in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, of the Trustee.

DUE JUNE 15, 2041 (Continued)
This bond is one of the bonds, of the above designated series, of an authorized issue of bonds of the Company, known as First Mortgage Bonds, issued or issuable in one or more series under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking and/or improvement 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 dated September 1, 1926, as supplemented and modified by indentures supplemental thereto, to and including a Ninety-fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2021 to The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, to which Indenture of Mortgage, as so supplemented and modified, and all indentures supplemental thereto (herein sometimes called the “Indenture”) 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.
The bonds of this series shall be issued by the Company, registered in the name of and delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, or its successor as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage (collectively, the “Collateral Trust Trustee”), to provide for the payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal and interest of the Securities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) to be issued from time to time under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.
Any payment by the Company under the Collateral Trust Mortgage of the principal of or interest on the Securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the Collateral Trust Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the Collateral Trust Trustee of bonds of this series (other than by application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such bonds) shall, to the extent of such payment, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of,  or interest on such bonds, as the case may be, which is then due. 
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on this bond as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that interest or principal due and payable on any Securities issued under the Collateral Trust Mortgage has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment. 
The holder of this bond hereby consents that the bonds of this series may be redeemable at the option of the Company or pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to the maturity date, without notice provided in Section 10.02 of the Indenture, at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, in each case, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption by the Company in a notice 








delivered to the Trustee and to the holder of the bonds to be redeemed on or before the date fixed for redemption.
The bonds of this series shall be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee (i) delivered to the Trustee and the Company, (ii) signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, (iii) stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Collateral Trust Mortgage and that, as a result, there then is due and payable a specified amount with respect to the Securities Outstanding under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, for the payment of which the Collateral Trust Trustee has not received funds, and (iv) specifying the principal amount of the bonds of this series to be redeemed.  Delivery of such notice shall constitute a waiver by the Collateral Trust Trustee of notice of redemption under the Indenture.
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 the 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; provided, however, that no such modification or alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the registered owner 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 (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. Each initial and future holder of the bonds of this series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article Three of the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.
This bond shall not be transferable by the Collateral Trust Trustee, except to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.  This bond so transferable to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage may be transferred by the registered owner hereof in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney at the corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York of the Trustee upon surrender of this bond for cancellation and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges provided for in the Indenture, and thereupon a new registered bond of the same series of like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.
The registered owner of this bond, at the option of said owner, may surrender the same for cancellation at said office and receive in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series but of other authorized denominations, upon payment, if the 
    22








Company shall so require, of the charges provided for in the Indenture and subject to the terms and conditions therein set forth.
If a 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 those cases, to the extent and under the conditions 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 company, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor company, 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.
