In case an event of default, as defined in the Amended Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Amended Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Amended Indenture. The Amended Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.

 

This Bond is transferable by delivery except while registered as to principal. This Bond may, from time to time, be registered as to principal in the name of the owner on books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at the agency of the Company in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, and such registration shall be noted hereon, after which no transfer hereof shall be valid unless made on said books by the registered owner hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and similarly noted hereon; but this Bond may be discharged from registration by being in like manner transferred to bearer, and thereupon transferability by delivery shall be restored; and this Bond may again, from time to time, be registered or discharged from registration in the same manner. Such registration, however, shall not affect the negotiability of the coupons hereto appertaining, which shall always be payable to bearer and transferable by delivery, and payment to the bearer thereof shall fully discharge the Company in respect of the interest therein mentioned, whether or not this Bond at the time be registered. Such registration, transfers and discharges from registration shall be without expense to the bearer or registered owner hereof, but any taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to the same shall be paid by the bearer or registered owner requesting such registration, transfer or discharge from registration as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege.

 

Coupon Bonds of 1986 Series may be exchanged upon surrender thereof, with all unmatured coupons attached, at either of said agencies of the Company for a fully registered Bond or

 

19











 

fully registered Bonds without coupons of the same series, of authorized denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount, bearing interest from the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the date thereof (each fully registered Bond without coupons to be dated as of the time of issue, unless issued on an interest date, in which event it shall be dated as of the day next following such interest date), all upon payment of the charges and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Indenture.

 

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 on the Amended Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being released by every bearer or registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise released by the terms of the Amended Indenture.

 

Neither this Bond, nor any of the coupons for interest thereon, shall be entitled to any benefit under the Amended Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, or become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until St. Louis Union Trust Company, the Trustee under the Amended Indenture, or a successor trustee thereto under the Amended Indenture, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Union Electric Company has caused this Bond to be signed in its name by its President or a Vice President, and its corporate seal (or a facsimile thereof) to be hereto

ARTICLE IV.

 

IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR BONDS OF 1986 SERIES AND APPLICATION

OF THE MAINTENANCE FUND.

 

SECTION 1.              The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, the Company will, on or before the fifteenth day of April in each of the calendar years 1958 to 1985, both inclusive, pay to the Trustee, as and for a fund herein sometimes called the “Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series”, a sum in cash equal to one per cent. (1%) of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of 1986 Series outstanding at any one time prior to January 1 of such year, less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all issued Bonds of 1986 Series retired prior to the date of such payment, pursuant to Section 8 of Article VIII of the Original Indenture by the application of moneys deposited with the Trustee in connection with releases of property or on account of damage or destruction of property; provided, however, that in any such case, Bonds of 1986 Series may be used in lieu of such payments as provided in Section 2 of this Article IV, and in such case, the amount of such payment in cash shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Bonds of 1986 Series so used; and provided, further, that in any such case the Company may credit against such Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series, as provided in Section 4 of this Article IV, an amount equal to sixty per cent. (60%) of the amount of net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien deducted pursuant to Section 4 of this Article IV from the balance of net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien

 

30











 

shown on the certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to said Section 4. The Company shall not be permitted (either under Section 5 of Article VIII of the Original Indenture or otherwise) to credit any moneys included in the trust estate or any Bonds purchased or redeemed with moneys included in the trust estate against any Improvement Fund payment required to be made by this Section 1.

 

SECTION 2.              If at any time on or before any Improvement Fund payment date the Company shall deliver Bonds of 1986 Series, theretofore issued by the Company, to the Trustee for cancellation for the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series, together with an officers’ certificate stating

 

(a)         the cost to the Company of such Bonds of 1986 Series;

 

(b)         that such Bonds of 1986 Series were issued and outstanding immediately prior to their acquisition by the Company; and that to the knowledge of the signers of such certificate none of such Bonds of 1986 Series were acquired by the Company from any affiliate of the Company;

 

(c)          that no portion of said Bonds of 1986 Series had previously been used for credit against the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series pursuant to this Section 2 or had been made the basis for the authentication and delivery of additional Bonds or the withdrawal of cash included in the trust estate or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be paid into the trust estate under any provision of the Original Indenture; and

 

(d)         that no portion of said Bonds of 1986 Series had previously been used for credit against the Maintenance Fund provided in Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941, unless the availability of such Bonds for credit to the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series had been restored pursuant to Section 6 of this Article IV and Section 6 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941,

 

the obligation of the Company to make the Improvement Fund payment provided for in Section 1 of this Article IV in cash on

 

31











 

such Improvement Fund payment date shall be credited with an amount equal to the principal amount of such Bonds of 1986 Series so delivered by the Company. In case such credit with respect to Bonds so delivered to the Trustee shall exceed the amount of the obligation of the Company with respect to the Improvement Fund payment on said Improvement Fund payment date, such excess shall be applied in reduction of the obligation of the Company to make Improvement Fund payments in cash on the next succeeding Improvement Fund payment date or dates. All coupon Bonds of 1986 Series so delivered by the Company to the Trustee for credit against the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series shall be accompanied by all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and all registered Bonds of 1986 Series without coupons and all coupon Bonds of 1986 Series registered as to principal so delivered shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer.

 

SECTION 3.              All cash paid to the Trustee for the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series provided for in Section 1 of this Article IV shall be held in trust, but not as part of the trust estate, for the benefit of the holders of Bonds of 1986 Series and, if in excess of Fifty thousand Dollars ($50,000), shall be applied to the redemption, on the earliest practical date (but not earlier than the next succeeding May 1) next succeeding the date of payment of such cash, at the special redemption price specified in this Section 3 applicable on the date fixed for such redemption, together with accrued interest to the redemption date, of a principal amount of Bonds of 1986 Series equal, as near as may be, to the amount of such cash. Such redemption shall be made in the manner and with the effect provided in Article III of this Supplemental Indenture and in Article V of the Original Indenture. The Company covenants and agrees that it will provide, from sources other than the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series, the accrued interest and premium on the Bonds so called for redemption and that it will pay the same to the Trustee prior to the date fixed for the redemption of such Bonds. The Trustee shall draw by lot the Bonds of 1986 Series so to be redeemed in accordance with Article V of the Original Indenture and shall notify

 

32











 

the Company in writing of the numbers of the Bonds of 1986 Series so drawn, and the Trustee shall give or cause to be given on behalf of the Company the notice specified by Section 2 of Article III of this Supplemental Indenture, unless provision satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of such notice shall have been made; provided, however, that, in addition to the matters required to be included in said notice by Article V of the Original Indenture, such notice shall also state that the Bonds therein designated for redemption are to be redeemed through operation of the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series. Any cash remaining after any such redemption shall be held by the Trustee and applied hereunder to succeeding redemptions for the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series.

 

Bonds of 1986 Series shall be redeemable, at any time and from time to time on and after May 1, 1958, for the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series provided in Section 1 of this Article IV, and at any time and from time to time on and after July 1, 1956, pursuant to Section 8 of Article VIII of the Original Indenture, upon payment of the special redemption prices applicable to the respective periods set forth below, together, in each case, with accrued interest to the redemption date:

All Bonds of 1986 Series delivered to the Trustee in lieu of cash or redeemed by operation of the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series in accordance with the provisions of this Article IV, together with the unmatured coupons thereto appertaining, shall forthwith be cancelled by the Trustee and shall be delivered to the Company. Bonds of 1986 Series so cancelled shall not be reissued, and, so long as any Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, no additional Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered in substitution for Bonds of 1986 Series so cancelled or in substitution for Bonds of 1971 Series, Bonds of 1975 Series, Bonds of 1980 Series or Bonds of 1982 Series delivered to the Trustee in lieu of cash otherwise payable into the improvement funds for any of such series, or redeemed by operation of such funds, in accordance with the provisions of the Supplemental Indentures of May 1, 1941, October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 or May 1, 1952 with respect to the operation of such improvement funds, and no cash included in the trust estate shall be withdrawn, nor shall the amount of cash required to be paid into the trust estate under any provision of the Original Indenture, the Supplemental Indentures of May 1, 1941, October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950, May 1, 1952 or this Supplemental Indenture be reduced, on the basis thereof.

 

SECTION 4.              The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, the

 

34











 

Company will file with the Trustee on or before the fifteenth day of April in each of the calendar years 1958 to 1985, both inclusive, an engineer’s certificate with respect to the amount of net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien (such amount being hereafter in this Article IV sometimes referred to as the amount of net bondable value of property additions, all references to property additions being to property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien except where otherwise specified), of the nature required by Section 4(a) of Article III of the Original Indenture, either

 

(a)         stating, in lieu of the matters required to be stated in a certificate required by said Section 4(a), the matters required by paragraphs (1), (5), (7), (9) and (18) of said Section 4(a) and the balance of or deficiency in net bondable value of property additions remaining after taking the balance or deficiency stated pursuant to said paragraph (1) and subtracting from said balance or adding to said deficiency, as the case may be, the amounts stated in said paragraphs (5), (7) and (9),

 

or, at the election of the Company,

 

(b)         stating all the matters required by said Section 4(a), other than paragraphs (3), (4) and (8) thereof, and accompanied by the applicable certificates, instruments, opinion, prior lien bonds and cash required by Subdivisions (c) to (h), both inclusive, of said Section 4.

 

Such certificate may, so long as any of the Bonds of 1971 Series, Bonds of 1975 Series, Bonds of 1980 Series or Bonds of 1982 Series are outstanding, be the engineer’s certificate required to be filed with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941 or pursuant to Section 4 of Article IV of the Supplemental Indentures of October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 or May 1, 1952, in connection with the improvement funds for Bonds of such series. If such certificate shall show a balance of net bondable value of property additions, the Company may at its election (in addition to or in lieu of exercising the elections provided for in said sections of the Supplemental

 

35











 

Indentures of May 1, 1941, October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 and May 1, 1952, in connection with the improvement funds for Bonds of 1971 Series, Bonds of 1975 Series, Bonds of 1980 Series and Bonds of 1982 Series) deduct from such balance an amount not exceeding one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per cent. (166 2/3%) of the sum otherwise required to be paid to the Trustee for the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series for such year, if such balance shall equal at least said amount (after the deductions, if any, made pursuant to said elections in respect of the improvement funds for Bonds of 1971 Series, Bonds of 1975 Series, Bonds of 1980 Series and Bonds of 1982 Series), or any part or all of the entire balance if less than said amount, and may apply sixty per cent. (60%) of the amount so deducted as a credit against the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series provided for in Section 1 of this Article IV. If the Company exercises the election granted to it pursuant to this Section 4 to apply any part or all of such balance of net bondable value of property additions shown by such engineer’s certificate for the purpose of the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series, such engineer’s certificate shall also state, as separate and additional items, the amount deducted for such purpose, and the then remaining balance, if any, of net bondable value of property additions. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 of this Article IV, Sections 5 and 6 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941 and Sections 5 and 6 of Article IV of the Supplemental Indentures of October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 and May 1, 1952, such then remaining balance, if any, of net bondable value of property additions or the deficiency, if any, in net bondable value of property additions shown in such certificate shall be the balance or deficiency to be stated pursuant to paragraph (1) of Section 4(a) of Article III of the Original Indenture in the next succeeding engineer’s certificate with respect to the amount of net bondable value of property additions filed with the Trustee.

 

The Company hereby covenants that, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, it will not apply for the authentication and delivery of additional Bonds pursuant to

 

36









 

Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture or the withdrawal of cash included in the trust estate or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be paid into the trust estate under any provision of the Original Indenture, the Supplemental Indentures of May 1, 1941, October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950, May 1, 1952 or this Supplemental Indenture upon the basis of the amount so deducted for the purpose of the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series or upon the basis of the amounts deducted for the purposes of the improvement funds for Bonds of 1971 Series, Bonds of 1975 Series, Bonds of 1980 Series or Bonds of 1982 Series in accordance with the provisions with respect thereto contained in the Supplemental Indentures of May 1, 1941, October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 or May 1, 1952. Each engineer’s certificate filed pursuant to this Section 4 and each engineer’s certificate with respect to the amount of net bondable value of property additions filed with the Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of the Original Indenture, the Supplemental Indentures of May 1, 1941, October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950, May 1, 1952 or this Supplemental Indenture shall state the amounts, if any, theretofore and since the date of the last previous such certificate deducted for the purpose of the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series pursuant to this Section 4 or for the purposes of the improvement funds for Bonds of 1971 Series, Bonds of 1975 Series, Bonds of 1980 Series or Bonds of 1982 Series or for the purpose of the Maintenance Fund provided by Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941, pursuant to paragraph (d) of said Section 5 or restored to net bondable value of property additions pursuant to Section 6 of this Article IV, Section 6 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941 or Section 6 of Article IV of the Supplemental Indentures of October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 or May 1, 1952, and that no part of such amounts so deducted and not so restored is included in the amount of net bondable value of property additions stated pursuant to paragraph (1) of Section 4(a) of Article III of the Original Indenture in the certificate then being filed, or has theretofore been made the basis for the issue of additional Bonds pursuant to Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture or the withdrawal of cash included in the trust estate or the reduction 

 

37

SECTION 5.              The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, the Company will, on or before the fifteenth day of April in each year continue to make the deposits with the Trustee for the Maintenance Fund provided in Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941 and will comply with all the covenants and provisions with respect to such Maintenance Fund contained in said Section 5, which covenants and provisions are hereby continued in effect so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding; provided, however, that

 

(a)         in calculating the balance of net bondable value of property additions which the Company is entitled to take as a credit against the Maintenance Fund for any calendar year pursuant to paragraph (d) of Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941, there shall be deducted, in addition to the deduction specified in said paragraph (d), the amount, if any, of net bondable value of property additions deducted for the purpose of the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series for such year pursuant to Section 4 of this Article IV, and such additional deduction shall be made in stating the amount of the balance of net bondable value of property additions in paragraph (10) of the engineer’s certificate filed with the Trustee for such year pursuant to Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941 (an engineer’s certificate of such character being hereinafter in this Article IV referred to as the “Maintenance Fund certificate,” all references to paragraphs of the Maintenance Fund certificate being to the paragraphs of such engineer’s certificate as specified in Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941);

 

(b)         no refundable Bonds theretofore delivered to the Trustee in lieu of cash in accordance with the provisions of

Sections 1 and 2 of this Article IV shall be used as the basis for a credit against the Maintenance Fund pursuant to paragraph (e) of Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941 and, accordingly, shall not be included in the aggregate principal amount of refundable Bonds which may be stated in paragraph (11) of the Maintenance Fund certificate;

 

(c)          the requirements of paragraph (9) of the Maintenance Fund certificate shall be satisfied, in case no engineer’s certificate specified in Section 4 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941 or in Section 4 of Article IV of the Supplemental Indentures of October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 or May 1, 1952 had been or concurrently therewith is being filed with the Trustee pursuant to either of said Sections, by filing with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4 of this Article IV the engineer’s certificate therein specified and by appropriate reference in paragraph (9) of the Maintenance Fund certificate to such engineer’s certificate; and

 

(d)         all cash received by the Trustee for the Maintenance Fund pursuant to Section 5 of Part IV of the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1941, not paid over to the Company as therein provided within one year from the date of such deposit and not added to the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1971 Series as therein provided or to the Improvement Funds for Bonds of 1975 Series, Bonds of 1980 Series or Bonds of 1982 Series as provided in Section 5 of Article IV of the Supplemental Indentures of October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 and May 1, 1952, shall, at the election of the Company, be added to the Improvement Fund for Bonds of 1986 Series provided for in Section 1 of this Article IV.

(ii)        all prior lien bonds and indebtedness, if any, of the character specified in paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 3(b) of Article III of the Original Indenture, at the time outstanding and all such prior lien bonds, if any, simultaneously applied for;

 

and

 

(2)         The net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations have been calculated in accordance with the definition thereof contained in Section 2(b) of Article V of this Supplemental Indenture, and to that end specifying the operating revenues of the Company and the net non-operating revenues of the properties of the Company and the deductions therefrom, all as called for by said definition.

 

(b)         The term “net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations” shall mean the net earnings of the Company ascertained as follows:

 

(1)         The total operating revenues of the Company and the net non-operating revenues of the properties of the Company shall be ascertained.

 

(2)         From the total, determined as provided in the preceding paragraph (1), there shall be deducted all operating expenses of the Company, including all salaries, rentals, insurance, interest on customers’ deposits, license and franchise fees, taxes (other than income and excess or other profits taxes

 

41











 

which are imposed on income after the deduction of interest charges), and the greater of (i) the provisions for depreciation and expenditures for maintenance and repairs or (ii) fifteen per cent. (15%) of the gross operating revenues of the Company for the period in question calculated in the manner provided in Subdivision (c) of this Section 2; but excluding all interest charges (other than interest on customers’ deposits), amortization of stock or debt discount and expense or premium, provisions for amortization of plant acquisition adjustment accounts or plant adjustment accounts or other provisions for amortization not charged as an operating expense on the books of the Company and provisions for any improvement, maintenance or sinking fund or other device for the retirement of any indebtedness.

 

(3)         The balance remaining after the deduction of the total amount computed pursuant to paragraph (2) from the total amount computed pursuant to paragraph (1) shall constitute the “net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations”.

 

(4)         No income received or accrued by the Company from securities or other investments in other corporations and no profits or losses from the sale of capital assets shall be included in making such computations.

 

(5)         In case the Company shall have acquired any acquired plant or system within or after the particular period for which the calculation of net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations is made, then, in computing the net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations there shall be included, to the extent that they may not have been otherwise included, the net earnings or net losses of such acquired plant or system for the whole of such period. The net earnings or net losses of such acquired plant or system preceding such acquisition shall be ascertained and computed as provided in the foregoing paragraphs of this definition as if such acquired plant or system had been owned by the Company during the whole of such period.

 

42











 

(6)         In case the Company shall have obtained the release of any property pursuant to Section 3 of Article VII of the Original Indenture, of a fair value in excess of Five hundred thousand dollars as shown by the engineer’s certificate required by said Section 3, or shall have obtained the release of any property pursuant to Section 7 of Article VII of the Original Indenture, the proceeds of which shall have exceeded Five hundred thousand dollars, within or after the particular period for which the calculation of net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations is made, then, in computing the net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations, the net earnings or net losses of such property for the whole of such period shall be excluded to the extent practicable on the basis of actual earnings and expenses of such property or on the basis of such estimates of the earnings and expenses of such property as the signers of the officers’ certificate referred to in Subdivision (a) of this Section 2 shall deem proper.

 

The terms “net earnings of property available for interest after property retirement appropriations” and “net earnings of another corporation available for interest after property retirement appropriations”, when used with respect to any property or with respect to another corporation, shall mean the net earnings of such property or such other corporation, as the case may be, computed on a corporate basis in the manner provided in this definition for the computation of net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations.

 

The net earnings available for interest after property retirement appropriations, whether of the Company or of some other corporation or of property, shall be determined in accordance with principles of sound accounting practice.

 

(c)          The “gross operating revenues of the Company” shall mean the gross operating revenues of the Company as shown by the books of the Company and after deducting the cost to the Company of electric energy purchased for resale and of the net amount of electric energy received on interchange, and after

 

43











 

deducting any rentals paid by the Company for all leased electric generating, transmitting, distributing and other operating properties.

 

SECTION 3.              That, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, the Company will not apply for the authentication and delivery of additional Bonds pursuant to Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture or the withdrawal of cash from the trust estate or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be paid into the trust estate or to satisfy the maintenance and improvement funds under any provision of the Original Indenture or the Supplemental Indentures of May 1, 1941, October 1, 1945, December 1, 1950 or May 1, 1952 or this Supplemental Indenture, on the basis of the amount of $15,000,000 excluded from net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien pursuant to Section 3 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of October 1, 1945, or on the basis of an additional amount of $7,500,000 in respect of property additions acquired by the Company prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture and not heretofore included in any engineer’s certificate in respect of net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien filed with the Trustee; and in the first such engineer’s certificate filed with the Trustee after the authentication and delivery of the original issue of Bonds of 1986 Series, the Company will deduct such amount of $7,500,000 in calculating the balance of net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien required to be shown pursuant to paragraph (12) of Section 4(a) of Article III of the Original Indenture.

 

SECTION 4.              That, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, the Company will not issue or permit to be issued any prior lien bonds secured by any unfunded prior lien in addition to the prior lien bonds secured by such unfunded prior lien at the time of first acquisition by the Company of property subject thereto (other than in lieu of lost, stolen or mutilated bonds or on the exchange for bonds already outstanding of an equal principal amount of other bonds of the same issue

 

44











 

and the same series, if any, and of the same maturity), except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 16 of Article IV of the Original Indenture, nor unless the net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations (determined as provided in Section 2 of this Article V), for any twelve consecutive calendar months during the period of fifteen calendar months immediately preceding the first day of the month in which the additional prior lien bonds are to be issued, have been, in the aggregate, equal to not less than twice the annual interest charges on the indebtedness specified in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (1) of Section 2(a) of this Article V; provided that, if the application for the issue of such additional prior lien bonds is upon the basis of payment at maturity of prior lien bonds theretofore sold or otherwise disposed of or the redemption or purchase thereof after a date two years prior to the date of maturity, the additional requirement imposed by this Section 4 with respect to net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations shall not apply. Any officers’ certificate with respect to net earnings of the Company, required to be filed with the Trustee as a condition precedent to the issue of such additional prior lien bonds, shall include, in addition to the matters otherwise required to be stated therein, the matters required to be stated in an officers’ certificate pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of Section 2(a) of this Article V.

 

SECTION 5.              That, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, the Company will not acquire, by purchase, merger or otherwise, any property subject to a lien or liens which will on acquisition be an unfunded prior lien or prior liens, except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 14 of Article IV of the Original Indenture, nor unless the net earnings of such property available for interest after property retirement appropriations (determined in the manner provided in Section 2 of this Article V), for any twelve consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the first day of the month in which the first acquisition of property subject to such lien or liens occurs, have been, in the aggregate, equal to not less than twice the amount of annual interest charges on all outstanding indebtedness secured by such lien or

 

45











 

liens. Any officers’ certificate with respect to net earnings of such property, required to be filed with the Trustee as a condition precedent to the acquisition of such property, shall include, in addition to the matters otherwise required to be stated therein, the matters required to be stated in an officers’ certificate pursuant to Section 2 of this Article V applicable, however, only to the net earnings of such property and to the indebtedness secured by such liens to which such property is subject.

 

SECTION 6.              (a) That, so long as any of the Bonds of 1986 Series are outstanding, the Company will not pay any dividend on its Common Stock (other than dividends payable in its Common Stock) or make any distribution on, or purchase or acquire for value any of, its Common Stock, if the amount thereof, together with the aggregate amount of such payments, distributions, purchases or acquisitions made since June 30, 1956, would exceed Fourteen million five hundred thousand dollars ($14,500,000) plus the aggregate net income of the Company applicable to the Common Stock of the Company subsequent to June 30, 1956 and prior to the date on which such payment, distribution, purchase or acquisition is to be made, computed in the manner provided in Subdivision (b) of this Section 6, except that in such computation any and all charges and/or credits to earned surplus subsequent to June 30, 1956 representing adjustments on account of excessive or deficient accruals charged to income subsequent to June 30, 1956 for taxes shall be considered as charges and/or credits to income.

 

(b)         The term “net income of the Company applicable to the Common Stock of the Company” shall mean for any particular period the net income of the Company for such period as shown by the books of the Company, after deducting therefrom an amount equal to dividends accrued during such period on any class of capital stock of the Company having preference as to payment of dividends over the Common Stock of the Company; provided, however, that, in computing such net income of the Company for any particular period, operating expenses, among other things, shall include the greater of (i) the provisions for depreciation for such period as recorded on the books of the

 

46









 

Company, excluding, however, any provision for amortization of plant acquisition adjustment accounts or plant adjustment accounts or other provisions for amortization not charged as an operating expense on the books of the Company, or (ii) the amount by which fifteen per cent. (15%) of the gross operating revenues of the Company for such period (calculated in the manner provided in Subdivision (c) of Section 2 of this Article V) exceeds the total amounts expended by the Company during such period for maintenance and repairs as shown by the books of the Company.
