 The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustees and their successors in said trust under the Mortgage, as follows:

 ARTICLE I 
 FIFTY-EIGHTH SERIES
OF BONDS 
 SECTION 1. (I) There shall be a series of bonds designated “Burlington Series 2008 due 2031” (herein sometimes
referred to as the “Fifty-eighth Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title, First Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof, which is established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, shall contain suitable
provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Article I specified. Bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall be limited to $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, except as provided in Section 16 of the Mortgage, shall mature on
June 1, 2031, and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of Five Thousand Dollars and in any multiple or multiples of Five Thousand Dollars. Bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall bear interest from time to time at a rate

Series 2008”), issued under the Indenture of Trust, dated as of August 1, 2008 (hereinafter referred to as the “Burlington Indenture”), of the City of Burlington, Kansas, which rate shall initially be 5.60% per annum,
payable at the same times as interest is payable on the Burlington Bonds Series 2008, the first payment to be made on December 1, 2008 for the period from August 26, 2008 to, but not including, December 1, 2008. The principal of and

 (II)
Upon the redemption, in whole or in part, of the Burlington Bonds Series 2008, bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall be redeemed in whole or in like part. To effect the redemption of bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series, the trustee under the
Burlington Indenture (hereinafter referred to as the “Burlington Trustee”) shall deliver to the Corporate Trustee (and mail a copy thereof to the Company) a written demand (hereinafter referred to as a “Burlington Redemption
Demand”) for the redemption of bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 to be 








 
redeemed. The Burlington Redemption Demand shall be signed by the President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer of the
Burlington Trustee and shall state: (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 then outstanding under the Burlington Indenture; (2) the principal amount of the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 to be redeemed;
(3) the interest thereon and premium, if any, to be payable on the redemption date; (4) the redemption date and that notice thereof has been given as required in the Burlington Indenture; (5) that the Corporate Trustee is thereby

Series 2008. The Burlington Redemption Demand shall also contain a waiver of notice of such redemption by the Burlington Trustee, as holder of all bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series then outstanding. The Corporate Trustee may conclusively presume the
statements contained in the Burlington Redemption Demand to be correct. Redemption of the bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall be at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, together with premium, if any, and the accrued interest to the
redemption date, and such amount shall become and be due and payable on the redemption date. 
 If the Burlington Trustee has declared the
principal of and accrued interest on the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Burlington Indenture as a result of an Event of Default under Section 7.1 of the Burlington Indenture
(except 7.1(f) thereof), and if the Burlington Trustee shall deliver to the Corporate Trustee (and mail a copy thereof to the Company) a written demand (hereinafter referred to as a “Burlington Bonds Acceleration Notice”) for the immediate
redemption of bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series in whole, the bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall be immediately redeemed at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest thereon. The Burlington Bonds Acceleration Notice shall be signed by the
President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer of the Burlington Trustee and shall state: (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 then outstanding under the Burlington Indenture;
(2) that the entire principal amount of the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 has been declared by the Burlington Trustee to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Burlington Indenture; (3) that the Corporate Trustee
is thereby instructed to call for immediate redemption bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series in whole; and (4) that the Burlington Trustee, as holder of all bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series, waives notice of such redemption. 
 The Company hereby covenants that if a Burlington Redemption Demand or a Burlington Bonds Acceleration Notice shall be delivered to the Corporate
Trustee, the Company subject to subdivision (III) of this Article I, will deposit, on or before the redemption date, with the Corporate Trustee, in accordance with Article X of the Mortgage, an amount in cash sufficient to redeem the bonds of the
Fifty-eighth Series so called for redemption. 
 The bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall not be subject to redemption prior to maturity
except as provided in this Section (I) II. 
 (III) All bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall be issued and pledged by the Company with
the Burlington Trustee to secure the payment of the principal of, interest on the Burlington Bonds Series 2008. The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall be
fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due principal of and interest on the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 shall have been fully or partially paid,
or there shall be in the Bond Fund established pursuant to the Burlington Indenture sufficient available funds to fully or partially pay the then due principal of and interest on the Burlington Bonds Series 2008. The Corporate Trustee may
conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until the Corporate Trustee shall
have received a written notice from the Burlington Trustee, signed by its President, a Vice President, or a Trust Officer, stating (i) that timely payment of the principal of or interest on the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 required to be made
by the Company has not been made, (ii) that there are not sufficient available funds held in the Bond Fund to make such payment and (iii) the amount of funds, in addition to available funds held in the Bond Fund, required to make such
payment. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the Mortgage, the Company shall not be obligated to make interest payments on overdue interest or principal to the extent such payments are not contemplated in
the Burlington Indenture. 







 (IV) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series, upon surrender thereof,
for cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations. The bonds of the
Fifty-eighth Series may bear such legends as may be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations made pursuant thereto or with the rules or regulations of any stock exchange or to conform to usage with respect thereto.

 (V) Bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series shall be transferable upon the surrender thereof, for cancellation, together with a written
instrument of transfer in form approved by the registrar duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. 
 (VI) The Company may deliver to the Burlington Trustee in substitution for any bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series, mortgage bonds or other similar
instruments of the Company or any successor entity, whether by merger, combination or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or otherwise, issued under the Mortgage in the event of a reallocation of the Burlington
Bonds Series 2008 in connection with a change in Mode as provided in Section 2.1 of the Burlington Indenture or under a mortgage and deed of trust or similar instrument of the Company or any successor entity, in each case, in like principal
amount of like term and bearing interest from time to time at a rate equal to the interest rate then borne by the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 (such substituted bonds hereinafter being referred to as the “Substituted Mortgage Bonds”).
The Substituted Mortgage Bonds may only be delivered to the Burlington Trustee upon receipt by the Burlington Trustee of (i) if not delivered under the Mortgage, a letter from Moody’s (as hereinafter defined), dated within ten days prior
to the date of delivery of the Substituted Mortgage Bonds, stating that its rating of the Substituted Mortgage Bonds is at least equal to its then current rating on the bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series, (ii) if not delivered under the Mortgage,
a letter from S&P (as hereinafter defined), dated within ten days prior to the date of delivery of the Substituted Mortgage Bonds, stating that its rating of the Substituted Mortgage Bonds is at least equal to its then current rating on the
bonds of the Fifty-eighth Series, (iii) an opinion of counsel which may be in-house counsel or counsel to the Company or any successor entity, to the effect that the Substituted Mortgage Bonds shall have been duly and validly authorized,
executed, authenticated, and delivered and shall constitute the valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations of the Company or any successor entity enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
other laws affecting the enforcement of mortgagees’ and other creditors’ rights and shall be entitled to the benefit of the Mortgage or the mortgage and deed of trust or similar instrument pursuant to which they shall have been issued,
(iv) an opinion of Bond Counsel, as defined in the Burlington Indenture, to the effect that the substitution of the Substituted Mortgage Bonds will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest
on the Burlington Bonds Series 2008 and (v) such other certificates and documents with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Substituted Mortgage Bonds as may be required by law or as the Burlington Trustee may reasonably request.

 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investor Services, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, its successors and their assigns, except that if such corporation shall be dissolved or liquidated or shall no longer perform the functions of a securities rating agency, then the term “Moody’s” shall be deemed to refer to
