There shall be a series of bonds designated "Environmental Series H" (herein sometimes called the "Seventy-fourth Series"), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title "First Mortgage Bond", and the form thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified. Bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series (which shall be limited in aggregate principal amount to $119,073,000 shall mature on June 1, 2030, shall be issued as fully registered bonds in the denomination of One Thousand Dollars and such other denominations as the officers of the Company shall determine to issue (such determination to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof), shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, and the principal of, and, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage, interest on any overdue principal of, each said bond shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.







(I) The bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series shall be issued and delivered to, and registered in the name of, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “LPFA Trustee”), the trustee under the Trust Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2010 (hereinafter called the "LPFA Indenture"), of the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority (hereinafter called the "LPFA"), relating to its 5% Revenue Bonds (Entergy Louisiana, LLC Project) Series 2010 (hereinafter called the "LPFA Bonds"), in order to evidence the Company's obligation to make certain payments under the Loan Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2010, between the LPFA and the Company (the "Loan Agreement").







The obligation of the Company to make any payment of principal of or interest on the bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, shall be reduced by the amount of any reduction under the LPFA Indenture of the amount of the corresponding payment required to be made by the LPFA thereunder in respect of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the LPFA Bonds, so that the aggregate principal amount of the bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series held by the LPFA Trustee after such reduction is as close as possible to, but not less than, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the LPFA Bonds then outstanding plus eight and one-half months of the annual interest on such LPFA Bonds.


The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of the bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice (which may be a facsimile followed by a hard copy) from the LPFA Trustee, signed by its President, a Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that the corresponding payment of principal of or interest on the LPFA Bonds has become due and payable and has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment.







(II) In the event that the LPFA Bonds outstanding under the LPFA Indenture shall become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 10.2 of the LPFA Indenture, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1 (a), (b) or (e) of the LPFA Indenture, all bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series, then outstanding, shall be redeemed by the Company, on the date such LPFA Bonds shall have become immediately due and payable, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. In the event that any LPFA Bonds are to be redeemed pursuant to Article III of the LPFA Indenture, bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series, in a principal amount equal, as nearly as practicable, to the sum of (i) the principal amount of such LPFA Bonds being redeemed, and (ii) eight and one-half months of the annual interest due on such LPFA Bonds being redeemed shall be redeemed by the Company, on the date fixed for redemption of such LPFA Bonds, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Trustee may conclusively presume that no redemption of bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series is required pursuant to this subsection (II) unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice (which may be a facsimile followed by a hard copy) from the LPFA Trustee, signed by its President, a Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that, as the case may be, the LPFA Bonds have become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 10.2 of the LPFA Indenture, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1 (a), (b) or (e) of the LPFA Indenture, or that the LPFA Bonds (or any portion thereof) are to be redeemed pursuant to Article III of the LPFA Indenture and specifying the date fixed for the redemption and the principal amount thereof. Said notice shall also contain a waiver of notice of such redemption by the LPFA Trustee, as the holder of all the bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series then outstanding.  As a condition to any redemption pursuant to this subsection (II), the LPFA Trustee is required to present the bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series to the Trustee for payment.







(III) The Company hereby waives its right to have any notice of any redemption pursuant to subsection (II) of this Section 1 state that such notice is subject to the receipt of the redemption moneys by the Trustee before the date fixed for redemption. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 52 of the Mortgage, any such notice under such subsection shall not be conditional.







(IV) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, together with a written instrument of transfer wherever required by the Company, duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, shall (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series of other authorized denominations. Bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series shall not be transferable except to any successor trustee under the LPFA Indenture, any such transfer to be made (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Company hereby waives any right to make a charge for any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Seventy-fourth Series.







(V) The bonds of the Seventy-fourth 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.
