to the aggregate principal amount of $45,200,000 and is issued pursuant to said
supplemental indenture dated December 1, 2003 (No. 4). Reference is hereby made
to said indenture and all supplements thereto for a specification of the
principal amount of Bonds from time to time issuable thereunder, and for a
description of the properties mortgaged and conveyed or assigned to said Trustee
or its successors, the nature and extent of the security, and the rights of the
holders of said Bonds and any coupons appurtenant thereto, and of the Trustee in
respect of such security.

     In and by said indenture, as amended and supplemented, it is provided that
with the written approval of the Company and the Trustee, any of the provisions
of said indenture may from time to time be eliminated or modified and other
provisions may be added thereto provided the change does not alter the annual
interest rate, redemption price or date, date of maturity or amount payable on
maturity of any then outstanding Bond or conflict with the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939 as then in effect, and provided the holders of 85% in principal amount

Company, as more fully specified in said indenture) consent in writing thereto,
all as more fully set forth in said indenture, as amended and supplemented.

     First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds issuable under said indenture are
issuable in series, and the Bonds of any series may be for varying principal
amounts and in the form of coupon Bonds and of registered Bonds without coupons,
and the Bonds of any one series may differ from the Bonds of any other series as
to date, maturity, interest rate and otherwise, all as in said indenture
provided and set forth. The Bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB, in which
this Bond is included, are designated "First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds,
Pollution Control Series AB".

     In case of the happening of an event of default as specified in said
indenture and in the supplemental indenture dated March 1, 1942 supplemental
thereto, the principal sum of the Bonds of this issue may be declared or may
become due and payable forthwith, in the manner and with the effect in said
indenture provided.

supplemental indenture dated December 1, 2003 (No. 4).

shall be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto. The Company and the Trustee and any paying agent may deem

hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal
hereof and the interest hereon and for all other purposes; and neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.

     The Bonds of this series are issuable only in fully registered form, in any
denomination authorized by the Company.

in said indenture or in any indenture supplemental thereto, or in any Bond or
coupon issued thereunder, or because of any indebtedness arising thereunder,

stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor
corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by
the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that said indenture, any
indenture supplemental thereto and the obligations issued thereunder, are solely
corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to,
or be incurred by, such incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors, as
such, of the Company, or of any successor corporation, or any of them, because
of the incurring of the indebtedness thereby authorized, or under or by reason
of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the indenture or
in any indenture supplemental thereto or in any of the Bonds or coupons issued
thereunder, or implied therefrom.

     This Bond shall not be entitled to any security or benefit under said
indenture, as amended and supplemented, and shall not become valid or obligatory
for any purpose, until the certificate of authentication, hereon endorsed, shall
have been signed by Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee, or by its
successor in trust under said indenture.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Bond to be duly executed by
its proper officers under its corporate seal.

                    BONDS OF THE POLLUTION CONTROL SERIES AB.

     The series of bonds authorized by this supplemental indenture to be issued
under and secured by the Indenture shall be designated "First and Refunding

principal amount of $45,200,000; shall be issued initially to the Authority
Trustee, as assignee of the




<PAGE>

                                       6


Authority, to evidence the Company's obligation to repay the loan to finance a
portion of the costs of the Project made pursuant to the Agreement; and shall
mature and bear interest as set forth in the form of bond hereinbefore
described; provided, however, that the Company shall receive certain credits
against principal and interest obligations as set forth in Section 3.01 hereof.
The date of each bond of the Pollution Control Series AB shall be the interest
payment date next preceding the date of authentication, unless such date of
authentication be an interest payment date, in which case the date shall be the
date of authentication, or unless such date of authentication be prior to the
first interest payment date, in which case the date shall be December 1, 2003.

     Bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB shall be issued as fully
registered bonds in any denomination authorized by the Company. Interest on
bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB shall be payable at such time and in
such manner as interest is payable on the 2003 Series B-3 Authority Bonds,
subject to certain credits against principal and interest as set forth in
Section 3.01 hereof and shall be payable as to both principal and interest in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
shall constitute legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at
the principal office of the Trustee, or at the corporate trust office of any
paying agent appointed by the Company.

     Bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB shall be transferable (but only as
provided in the Authority Indenture) upon surrender thereof for cancellation by
the registered owner in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing at said
office of the Trustee.

     The Company hereby waives any right to make a charge for any transfer of
bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB, but the Company may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto.

               (i) whenever the Interest Rate Mode for the 2003 Authority Series
          B-3 Bonds is the Daily Rate or the Weekly Rate, in whole or in part,
          at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on any
          Interest Payment Date;

               (ii) whenever the Interest Rate Mode for the 2003 Authority
          Series B-3 Bonds is the Commercial Paper Rate, in whole or in part, at
          a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on the
          Interest Payment Date for each Commercial Paper Rate Period for a 2003
          Series B-3 Authority Bond or Bonds, such redemption to be in the same
          principal amount of such 2003 Series B-3 Authority Bond or Bonds;

               (iii) whenever the Interest Rate Mode for the 2003 Authority
          Series B-3 Bonds is the Auction Rate, in whole or in part, at a
          redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on the final
          Interest Payment Date for each Auction Period;

               (iv) whenever the Interest Rate Mode for the 2003 Series B-3
          Authority Bonds is the Term Rate, in whole or in part, on the final
          Interest Payment Date for the then current Term Rate Period and, prior

          If, at the time of the Company's notice of a change in the Term Rate
     Period pursuant to Section 2.02(c) of the Authority Indenture, or its
     notice of Conversion of the Interest Rate Mode for the 2003 Series B-3
     Authority Bonds to the Term Rate pursuant to Section 2.02(d) of the
     Authority Indenture, or, when the Interest Rate Mode for the 2003 Series
     B-3 Authority Bonds is the Term Rate, at least 35 days prior to the
     Purchase Date for the 2003 Series B-3 Authority Bonds pursuant to Section
     3.01 (b)(i) of the Authority Indenture, the Company provides a
     certification of the Remarketing Agent to the Authority Trustee and the
     Authority that the foregoing schedule is not consistent with prevailing
     market conditions and an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that
     a change in the redemption provisions of the 2003 Series B-3 Authority
     Bonds will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest
     on the 2003 Series B-3 Authority Bonds for Federal income tax purposes, the
     foregoing redemption periods and redemption prices may be revised effective
     as of the date of such change in the Term Rate Period, the Conversion Date,
     or that Purchase Date, as determined by the Remarketing Agent in its
     judgment, taking into account the then prevailing market conditions, as
     stipulated in such certification, which shall be appended by the Trustee to
     its counterpart of this supplemental indenture. Any such revision of
     redemption periods or redemption prices shall not be considered an
     amendment of or supplement to this supplemental indenture and shall not
     require the consent of any other person or entity.

          (b) in whole (or in part if, in the opinion of nationally recognized
     bond counsel, such partial redemption will preserve the exclusion from
     gross income for Federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2003 Series
     B-3 Authority Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption) at any
     time at 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, plus interest
     accrued to the redemption date, within 180 days after a "final
     determination" (i.e., the issuance of a published or private ruling or
     technical advice) of the Internal Revenue Service or a judicial decision in
     a proceeding by any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States
     (from which ruling, advice or decision no further right of appeal exists),
     in all cases in which the Company has participated or been a party or has
     been given an opportunity to participate and has failed to do so (no such
     decree or judgment by any court or action by the Internal Revenue Service
     to be considered final unless the owner of the 2003 Series B-3 Authority
     Bonds involved in such proceeding or action has given the Company and the
     Authority Trustee prompt written notice of the commencement thereof and
     offered the Company, at the Company's expense, the opportunity to control
     the defense thereof) that, as a result of a failure by the Company to
     observe any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in the
     Agreement, the interest payable on the 2003 Series B-3 Authority Bonds is
     includable in the gross income for Federal income tax purposes of the
     holder thereof, other than a "substantial user" of the Project or a
     "related person" as provided in Section 147 (a) of the Internal Revenue
     Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable regulations thereunder.

          (c) in whole at 100% of the principal amount thereof whenever the
     Company receives from the Authority Trustee a copy of a written demand sent
     to the Trustee stating that the principal of all outstanding 2003 Series
     B-3 Authority Bonds has been declared to be immediately due and payable
     because of an Event of Default under the Authority Indenture. In such case,
     redemption of the Bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB shall be any
     date selected by the Company, not more than 180 days after receipt by the
     Company of such written demand for redemption.

          (d) to the extent that any of the 2003 Series B-3 Authority Bonds
     shall have become Provider Bonds, (i) on the Provider Bond Redemption Date
     in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Provider Bonds
     outstanding at the expiration of the Liquidity Facility at 100% of the
     principal amount thereof and (ii) in accordance with any other redemption
     provisions set forth in any applicable Standby Bond Purchase Agreement.

     SECTION 2.02. Notice of Redemption. (a) The election of the Company under
subsection (a) of Section 2.01 hereof to redeem any of the bonds of the
Pollution Control Series AB shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company calling for redemption on a stated date of all or a
stated principal amount thereof. To exercise its option to redeem the bonds of
the Pollution Control Series AB under subsection (a) of Section 2.01 hereof, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, the Authority and the Authority Trustee a
certified copy of said resolution calling all or a stated principal amount of
the bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB for redemption on a date not less
than 20 days (35 days if the Interest Rate Mode is the Term Rate) nor more than
65 days from the date said resolution is delivered. The delivery to the
Authority Trustee of a certified copy of such resolution shall constitute notice
to the Authority Trustee of the redemption referred to therein, on the terms
specified therein. The Company shall on or before such redemption date deposit
with the Trustee, as paying agent hereunder, the total applicable redemption
price of all the bonds so called, with interest accrued thereon to the
redemption date, less any credits to which the Company may be entitled pursuant
to Section 3.01 hereof, and the Trustee, as such paying agent, shall apply such
funds on the redemption date to the redemption of the bonds so called.

          (b) The Company shall, within 10 days after the occurrence of a "final
     determination" under subsection (b) of Section 2.01 hereof, deliver to the
     Trustee written notice of such "final determination". The Company shall, by
     resolution of its Board of Directors, fix a redemption date for such
     redemption and shall deliver to the Trustee, the Authority and the
     Authority Trustee a certified copy of said resolution at least 40 days
     prior to the date so selected for redemption. Such redemption date may be
     any day not more than 180 days after the occurrence of such "final
     determination". If the Trustee does not receive written notice of such
     selection by the Company within 140 days after the date of the occurrence
     of such "final determination," then the redemption date shall be the 180th
     day after the occurrence of such "final determination." On or before such
     redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, as paying
     agent hereunder, the total redemption price of the bonds so called, with
     interest accrued thereon to the redemption date, less any credits to which
     the Company may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, and the
     Trustee, as such paying agent, shall apply such funds, on the redemption
     date, to the redemption of the bonds so called. The delivery to the
     Authority Trustee of a certified copy of such resolution shall constitute
     notice to the Authority Trustee of the redemption referred to therein on
     the terms specified therein.

          (c) The Company shall, within 10 days after the receipt of a written
     demand under subsection (c) of Section 2.01 hereof, by resolution of its
     Board of Directors, fix a redemption date for such redemption and shall
     deliver to the Trustee, the Authority and the Authority Trustee a certified
     copy of said resolution at least 40 days prior to the date so selected for
     redemption. Such redemption date may be any day not more than 180 days
     after the receipt of such written demand. If the Trustee does not receive
     written notice of such selection by the Company within 140 days after the
     date of the receipt of such written demand, then the redemption date shall
     be the 180th day after the receipt of such written demand. On or before
     such redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, as paying
     agent hereunder, the total redemption price of the bonds so called, with
     interest accrued thereon to the redemption date, less any credits to which
     the Company may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, and the
     Trustee, as such paying agent, shall apply such funds, on the redemption
     date, to the redemption of the bonds so called.

     SECTION 2.03. Interest on Called Bonds to Cease. Each bond or portion
thereof of the Pollution Control Series AB called for redemption under Section
2.02 hereof shall be due and payable at the office of the Trustee, as paying
agent hereunder, at the applicable redemption price and on the specified
redemption date, anything herein or in




<PAGE>

                                       9


such bond to the contrary notwithstanding. From and after the date when each
bond or portion thereof of the Pollution Control Series AB shall be due and
payable as aforesaid (unless upon said date the full amount due thereon shall
not be held by or provided to the Trustee, as paying agent hereunder, and be
immediately available for payment), all further interest shall cease to accrue
on such bond or on such portion thereof, as the case may be.

     SECTION 2.04. Bonds Called in Part. If only a portion of any bond of the
Pollution Control Series AB shall be called for redemption pursuant to Section
2.02 hereof, the notice of redemption hereinbefore provided for shall specify
the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Upon payment of the
portion so called for redemption, the Trustee, as paying agent hereunder, shall
give prompt written notice thereof to the Company.

     SECTION 2.05. Provisions of Indenture Not Applicable. The provisions of
Article Four of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented, shall not apply to
the procedure for the exercise of any right of redemption reserved by the
Company, or to any mandatory redemption provided in this Article in respect of
the bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB. There shall be no sinking fund for
the bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB.

                                  ARTICLE III.

   CREDITS WITH RESPECT TO THE BONDS OF THE POLLUTION CONTROL SERIES AB.

     SECTION 3.01. Credits. (a) In addition to any other credit, payment or
satisfaction to which the Company is entitled with respect to the Bonds of the
Pollution Control Series AB, the Company shall be entitled credits against

Bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB exceeds the interest due on the 2003
Series B-3 Authority Bonds.

     payable in respect of the bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB in an

     Authority Bond surrendered to the Authority Trustee by the Company or the
     Authority, or purchased by the Authority Trustee, for cancellation and (ii)
     the amount of money held by the Authority Trustee and available and
     designated for or applied toward the payment of principal or redemption
     price of and interest on the 2003 Series B-3 Authority Bonds, as the case
     may be, regardless of the source of payment to the Authority Trustee of
     such moneys; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to
     any such credit with respect to amounts paid to the Authority Trustee
     pursuant to the Bond Insurance Policy. The Trustee, as paying agent
     hereunder, shall give prompt written notice to the Company of any such
     credit with respect to the payment of interest.

          (c) The Trustee, as paying agent hereunder, shall (i) promptly notify
     the Company of each deposit in the Bond Fund under the Authority Indenture,

     credits with respect to payment of principal or redemption price of and

     SECTION 3.02. Certificate of the Company. A certificate of the Company
signed by the President, any Vice President or any Assistant Treasurer, and
attested to by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and consented to by the
Authority Trustee, stating that the Company is entitled to a credit under
Section 3.01 hereof and setting forth the basis therefor in reasonable detail,
shall be conclusive evidence of such entitlement, and the Trustee shall accept
such certificate as such evidence without further investigation or verification
of the matters stated therein.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

     SECTION 4.01. Authentication of Bonds of Pollution Control Series AB. None
of the bonds of the Pollution Control Series AB, the issue of which is provided
for by this supplemental indenture, shall be authenticated by the Trustee except
in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented,
and this supplemental indenture, and upon compliance with the conditions in that
behalf therein contained.

     SECTION 4.02. Additional Restrictions on Authentication of Additional Bonds
Under Indenture. The Company covenants that from and after the date of execution
of this supplemental indenture, no additional bonds (as defined in Section I of

additions or improvements to the mortgaged property.

                                       10


          (1) unless the net earnings of the Company for the period required by
     Subdivision C of Section 6 of said Article Two shall have been at least
     twice the fixed charges (in lieu of 1 3/4 times such fixed charges, as
     required by said Subdivision C); and for the purpose of this condition (a)
     such fixed charges shall in each case include interest on the bonds applied
     for, notwithstanding the parenthetical provision contained in clause (4) of
     said Subdivision C, and (b) in computing such net earnings there shall be
     included in expenses of operation (under paragraph (c) of said Subdivision
     C) all charges against earnings for depreciation, renewals or replacements,
     and all certificates with respect to net earnings delivered to the Trustee
     in connection with any authentication of additional bonds under said
     Article Two shall so state; and

          (2) except to the extent of 60% (in lieu of 75% as permitted by
     Subdivision A of Section 7 of said Article Two) of the cost or fair value
     to the Company of the additions or improvements forming the basis for such
     authentication of additional bonds.

     SECTION 4.03. Restriction on Dividends. The Company will not declare or pay
any dividend on any shares of its common stock (other than dividends payable in
