ARTICLE I


 


EIGHTY-FOURTH SERIES BONDS


 


SECTION 1 There shall be a series of bonds designated "3.78% Series due April 1, 2025” (herein sometimes called the “Eighty-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 Eighty-fourth Series (which shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $190,000,000) shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, shall mature on April 1, 2025, shall be issued as fully registered bonds in any integral multiple or multiples of One Thousand Dollars, and shall bear interest at the rate of 3.78% per annum, the first interest payment to be made on October 1, 2014, for the period from July 1, 2014 to October 1, 2014 with subsequent interest payments payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), the principal of and interest on each said bond to 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.


 


Interest on the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the maturity date of any bond of the Eighty-fourth Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.


 


So long as all of the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series are held by The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, or a successor thereof, the record date for the payment of interest on the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series shall be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the record date for the payment of interest which is paid after such Interest Payment Date, shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such interest is paid. Interest on the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name such bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series are registered at the close of business on the record date for the corresponding Interest Payment Date.


 


The Company reserves the right to establish, at any time, by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a form of coupon bond, and of appurtenant coupons, for the Eighty-fourth Series and to provide for exchangeability of such coupon bonds with the bonds of said Series issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate provisions for such purpose.


 


(I) The bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice, as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time prior to January 1, 2025, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series being redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series  being redeemed (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted (for purposes of determining such present values) to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 0.20% plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.







The bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series shall also be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice, as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time on or after January 1, 2025, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.


 


As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the respective meanings specified unless the context clearly requires otherwise:







The term “Adjusted Treasury Rate” shall mean, with respect to any redemption date:







(1)           the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the bonds of the Eighty-second Series, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or







(2)           if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date for the Adjusted Treasury Rate or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.







The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.







The term “Comparable Treasury Issue” shall mean the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the bonds of the Eighty-second Series that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the bonds of the Eighty-second Series.







The term “Comparable Treasury Price” shall mean, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.







The term “Independent Investment Banker” shall mean one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time, or, if any of such firms is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.







“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) Barclays Capital Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., or, in each case, an affiliate thereof, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company.







The term “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” shall mean, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.







(II) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Eighty-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, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the Eighty-second Series of other authorized denominations.


 


Bonds of the Eighty-fourth 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.


 


Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of said Series.


 


Upon the delivery of this Eightieth Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, there shall be an initial issue of bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series for the aggregate principal amount of $190,000,000.  Additional bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the Outstanding bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series (except for the issue date, the price to public and, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date) may be issued by the Company, subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, without the notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the bonds of the Eighty-fourth Series.
