$______________     ________________Series________________   No.________________

     INDIANAPOLIS  POWER & LIGHT COMPANY,  a corporation of the State of Indiana
(hereinafter called the Company), for value received,  hereby promises to pay to
the bearer,  or, if this bond be registered,  to the registered owner hereof, on
__________________,  __________,  at the  office  or agency  of the  Company  in
_______________, _______________________________  Dollars in lawful money of the
United  States of America,  and to pay interest  thereon from the date hereof at
the rate of  _____________  per centum per annum in like lawful  money,  at said
office or agency on ____________________ and  ___________________  in each year,
until the  Company's  obligation  with respect to the payment of such  principal
shall have been  discharged,  but only, in the case of interest due on or before
maturity,  according  to the tenor and upon  presentation  and  surrender of the
respective coupons therefor hereto attached, as they severally mature.

     This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the  Company,  issuable in series,
and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, ______________  Series
____________,  all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally
secured  (except  in so  far  as any  sinking  or  other  fund,  established  in
accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford
additional  security for the bonds of any  particular  series) by a Mortgage and
Deed of Trust (herein called the Mortgage), dated as of May 1, 1940, executed by
the Company to American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago,  as Trustee,
to which  reference  is made for a  description  of the property  mortgaged  and
pledged,  the nature and extent of the  security,  the rights of the  bearers or
registered owners of the bonds in respect thereof,  the duties and immunities of
the Trustee and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured.  With
the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the
Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or of the holders of the
bonds and/or coupons  and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage  and/or of
any instruments  supplemental  thereto may be modified or altered by affirmative
vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66 2/3%) in
principal amount of the bonds affected by such modification or alteration,  then
outstanding  under the Mortgage  (excluding  bonds  disqualified  from voting by
reason of the Company's interest therein as provided in the Mortgage);  provided
that no such  modification  or  alteration  shall  permit the  extension  of the
maturity of the  principal of this bond or the reduction in the rate of interest
hereon or any other  modification  in the terms of payment of such  principal or
interest without the consent of the holder hereof.

     The principal  hereof may be declared or may become due on the  conditions,
in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage,  upon the occurrence of
a completed default as in the Mortgage provided.

     This bond shall pass by delivery  unless  registered as to principal in the
owner's name at the office or agency of the Company in  _______________________,
and such registration noted hereon,  after which no valid transfer hereof can be
made,  except at such  office or agency,  until  after  registered  transfer  to
bearer,  but after such  registered  transfer to bearer this bond shall be again
transferable  by  delivery.  Such  registration,  however,  shall not affect the
negotiability  of the coupons,  which shall always remain  payable to bearer and
transferable  by  delivery.  The  Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the
bearer of this bond if it be not registered as to principal, or, if this bond is
registered  as  herein  authorized,  the  person  in  whose  name  the  same  is
registered,  and the bearer of any coupon hereto  appertaining,  as the absolute
owner for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on
this bond against any incorporator or any past,  present or future subscriber to
the  capital  stock,  stockholder,  officer or director of the Company or of any
predecessor or successor  corporation,  as such,  either directly or through the
Company or any  predecessor  or  successor  corporation,  under any rule of law,
statute or  constitution  or by the  enforcement of any assessment or otherwise,
all such liability of  incorporators,  subscribers,  stockholders,  officers and
directors, as such, being released by the owner hereof by the acceptance of this
bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

     This bond shall not become  obligatory  until  American  National  Bank and
Trust  Company of Chicago,  the Trustee  under the  Mortgage,  or its  successor
thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Indianapolis Power & Light Company has caused this bond
to be signed in its name by its President or one of its  Vice-Presidents and its
corporate  seal to be affixed hereto and attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant  Secretaries,  and interest coupons bearing the facsimile signature of

cost,  as the case may be, as shall be  allocated on the books of the Company to

shown by the  engineer's  certificate  or  independent  engineer's   certificate
furnished  to the  Trustee at the time such  property  additions  became  funded
property,  or, if not so  separately  shown,  shall be such  portion of the cost
and/or  the fair  value  to the  Company  of  property  additions  shown in such
certificate  as shall be allocated  to such  property  additions  retired in any
engineer's  certificate  subsequently delivered to the Trustee, and in case such
property additions shall not have been included in any engineer's certificate or
independent  engineer's  certificate  theretofore  furnished to the Trustee, the
cost and fair value thereof  shall be as shown,  as of the time when they became
funded property, in an engineer's certificate then delivered to the Trustee.

months immediately preceding the first day of the month in which the application
for the  authentication  and delivery under this Indenture of bonds then applied
for is  made,  showing  how the  same  have  been  calculated,  and to that  end
specifying  the total  operating  revenues of the  Company,  with the  principal

retirement of indebtedness), and further deducting from such balance of earnings
the amount by which the  aggregate of (1) net  non-operating  income and (2) net
income  which  in the  opinion  of the  signers  is  directly  derived  from the
operation of property  not subject to the lien of this  Indenture at the date of
such certificate,  exceeds ten per centum (10%) of such balance of earnings; the
amount so arrived at being for all purposes of this  Indenture  the net earnings
of the Company for such period;  and (B) the annual interest  requirements upon,
and the principal amount of, (1) all bonds outstanding  hereunder at the date of
such  certificate,  except any which are then being made the basis,  pursuant to

hereto with irrevocable direction so to apply the same) outstanding in the hands
of the public on the date of such  certificate  and secured by lien prior to the
lien of this Indenture upon property of the Company  subject to the lien of this
Indenture,  if said  indebtedness  has been  assumed  by the  Company  or if the
Company customarily pays the interest upon the principal thereof. In determining
net non-operating  income there shall not be included profits realized or losses
sustained from the sale or other  disposition  of capital  assets or profits or
losses on retirements of bonds secured hereby.

     If any of the property of the Company owned by it at the time of the making
of any net earnings  certificate  shall have been  acquired  during or after any
period for which net  earnings  are to be  computed,  the net  earnings  of such
property  (computed in the manner  specified in this Section for the computation
of the net  earnings  of the  Company)  during  such period or such part of such
period as shall have preceded the  acquisition  thereof,  to the extent that the
same have not otherwise been included,  and unless such property shall have been
acquired in exchange or  substitution  for  property  the earnings of which have
been  included,  shall be  included  in the net  earnings of the Company for all
purposes of this Indenture unless in the opinion of the Company,  evidenced by a
Treasurer's  certificate  delivered  to  the  Trustee,  it is  impracticable  to
determine  such net earnings  without  unreasonable  effort or expense;  in like
manner,  the net  earnings of any  property to be acquired  through the issue of
bonds applied for in the  application in connection with which such net earnings
certificate  is made shall be included in the net earnings of the Company unless
it is impracticable to determine such net earnings as aforesaid.

     In any application for the authentication and delivery of bonds where a net
earnings  certificate  is required,  if (1) the twelve months' period covered by
the net  earnings  certificate  is covered by the annual  reports of the Company
which the  Company has filed or is at the date of the net  earnings  certificate
required to file with the  Trustee  pursuant  to  subdivision  (1) of Section 52
hereof,  and (2) the aggregate  principal  amount of bonds then applied for plus
the aggregate  principal amount of bonds  authenticated  and delivered since the
commencement of the then current calendar year (other than those with respect to
which a net earnings  certificate is not required or with respect to which a net
earnings certificate signed by an independent public accountant appointed by the
Company and  approved by the Trustee in the  exercise of  reasonable  care,  has
previously  been  furnished)  is ten per centum  (10%) or more of the  aggregate
amount  of the  bonds at the  time out  standing  hereunder,  such net  earnings
certificate  shall  be made  and  signed  by an  independent  public  accountant
appointed  by the  Company  and  approved  by the  Trustee  in the  exercise  of
reasonable  care,  in addition to being signed and verified by such  officers of
the Company.

     Each such certificate  shall include the statements  required by Section 21
hereof.

                                   ARTICLE II.

              FORM, EXECUTION, REGISTRATION AND EXCHANGE OF BONDS.

     SECTION 8. At the option of the Company,  the bonds issued hereunder may be
issued in one or more  series,  the bonds of each series  (other than the 3 1/4%
Series due 1970,  hereinafter in Section 19 described)  maturing on such date or
dates and bearing  interest at such rate or rates as the Board of  Directors  of
the Company prior to the authentication thereof may determine.  Except as to the
3 1/4% Series due 1970, the form of each series of bonds issued hereunder and of
the  coupons  to be  attached  to the  coupon  bonds  of such  series  shall  be
established by an indenture  supplemental hereto authorized by resolution of the
Board of  Directors  of the  Company.  The bonds and  coupons of any one or more
series may be expressed in one or more foreign  languages,  if also expressed in
the English language. The English text shall govern the construction thereof and
both or all texts shall constitute but a single obligation.  The English text of
the coupon bonds, coupons,  fully registered bonds and the Trustee's certificate
shall be  respectively  substantially  of the tenor and purport  above  recited,
provided,  however, that the form of each series, as established by the Board of
Directors, shall specify the descriptive title of the bonds (which shall contain
the words "First Mortgage Bond"), the designation of the series, the date of the
coupon  bonds of that  series,  the rate or rates of interest to be borne by the
bonds of that series,  the date or dates of maturity,  the dates for the payment
of interest,  and a place for the payment of principal  and interest and for the
registration and transfer of the bonds.  Subject to the provisions of Section 19
hereof with respect to the 3 1/4% Series due 1970,  any series of bonds may also
contain such provisions as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion,  cause
to be inserted therein:

          (a) specifying any  additional  place or places,  either in the United
     States of  America  or,  subject  to the  provisions  of Section 18 hereof,
     elsewhere,  for the payment of  principal  and/or  interest  and/or for the
     registration and/or the transfer of bonds;

          (b)  expressing  any  obligation of the Company for the payment of the
     principal  of the bonds of that series or the  interest  thereon,  or both,
     without  deduction for taxes and/or for the  reimbursement of taxes in case
     of payment by the  bondholders,  which  obligation  may be limited to taxes
     imposed by any taxing authorities of a specified class and may exclude from
     its  operation or be limited to any  specified  tax or taxes or any portion
     thereof;  and/or  expressing any obligation of the Company for the creation
     of a sinking fund or other  similar  device for the  retirement of bonds of
     that series,  and/or expressing any obligation of the Company to permit the
     conversion  of bonds of that series into  capital A stock of the Company of
     any designated class or classes;

          (c)  permitting  the  bondholders  to make,  at a  specified  place or
     places, any or all of the. following  exchanges,  viz., exchanges of coupon
     bonds for fully registered  bonds;  exchanges of fully registered bonds for
     coupon  bonds;  exchanges  of  coupon  bonds  for  coupon  bonds  of  other
     denominations;  exchanges of fully  registered  bonds for fully  registered
     bonds of other  denominations;  and  exchanges  of bonds of one  series for
     bonds of another series;  and such privilege of exchange may in any case be
     made subject to such  conditions,  limitations or restrictions as the Board
     of Directors may determine and the privilege of exchange may in any case be
     conferred  upon  the  holders  of bonds  of one or more  denominations  and
     withheld  from the  holders  of bonds  of other  denominations  of the same
     series and may in any case be conferred on the holders of fully  registered
     bonds and withheld from the holders of coupon bonds or vice versa;

          (d)  reserving  to the  Company the right to redeem all or any part of
     the  bonds of that  series  before  maturity  at a time or  times  and at a
     redemption price or prices to be specified in the form of bond; and/or

          (e) in any other  respect  expressing  or  referring  to the terms and
     conditions upon which such bonds are to be issued and/or secured under this
     Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto.

     SECTION 9. Any series of bonds may be executed, authenticated and delivered
originally  as  coupon  bonds  and/or  as  fully   registered   bonds,  of  such
denomination or  denominations as the Board of Directors of the Company may from
time to time authorize.

     SECTION 10. Every fully  registered bond of any series shall be dated as of
the date of  authentication  (except  that if any fully  registered  bond of any
series shall be authenticated upon any interest payment date for that series, it
shall  be  dated as of the day  following)  and  shall  bear  interest  from the
beginning of the current  interest  period for that series,  provided,  however,
that if any fully  registered bond shall be  authenticated  and delivered upon a
transfer  of or in  exchange  for any bond or bonds  upon which  interest  is in
default,  it shall be dated  so that no gain or loss of  interest  shall  result
therefrom.  The coupon bonds of each series of bonds issued  hereunder  shall be
dated as of such  date as may be  determined  by the Board of  Directors  of the
Company and designated in the form established for such series.

     SECTION 11. Any bond may have  imprinted  thereon or  included  therein any
legend or legends  required in order 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,  and the Board of  Directors  of the Company by
resolution  may at any time amend any legend on bonds then  outstanding so as to
comply with any such law, rule or regulation, or so as to conform to usage.

     SECTION 12. In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging  bonds exists
and is exercised,  the bonds to be exchanged  shall be surrendered at such place
or places as shall be  designated  by the Board of  Directors of the Company for
the purpose,  with all unmatured  coupons  appertaining  thereto (in the case of
coupon bonds) and the Company  shall execute and the Trustee shall  authenticate
and deliver in exchange  therefor the bond or bonds which the bondholder  making
the exchange shall be entitled to receive. All bonds so surrendered for exchange
shall be in bearer form or if registered, accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments  of transfer in form  approved by the Company  duly  executed by the
registered holder or by his duly authorized  attorney.  All Bonds so surrendered
for exchange and the unmatured coupons appertaining thereto shall be canceled by
the  Trustee  and upon the request of the Company may be cremated by the Trustee
and a certificate  evidencing  the cremation  thereof  delivered to the Company.
Upon every transfer of bonds as permitted by the next  succeeding  Section,  and
upon every exchange of bonds, the Company may  make a charge therefor sufficient
to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge required to be
paid by the Company and in addition may charge a sum not  exceeding  two dollars
($2) for each bond issued upon any such transfer or exchange which shall be paid
by the party  requesting  such transfer or exchange as a condition  precedent to
the exercise of the privilege of making such  transfer or exchange.  The Company
shall not be required to make  transfers or exchanges of bonds of any series for
a period of ten (10) days  next  preceding  any  interest  payment  date of said
series.

     SECTION  13.  The  Company  shall  keep at such place or places as shall be
designated  for the purpose,  books for the  registration  and transfer of bonds
issued hereunder,  which, at all reasonable times,  shall be open for inspection
by the Trustee;  and upon the presentation for such purpose at any such place or
places, the Company will register or cause to be registered therein,  and permit
to  be  transferred  thereon,  under  such  reasonable  regulations  as  it  may
prescribe, any bonds issued under this Indenture and entitled to registration or
transfer  at  such  office.  Upon  the  registration  of any  coupon  bond as to
principal,  the fact of such registration  shall be noted on such bond. Upon the
transfer of any fully registered bond the Company shall issue in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new fully  registered  bond or new fully  registered
bonds of the same  series  for a like  principal  amount and the  Trustee  shall
authenticate  and deliver the same to him or them. All fully registered bonds so
surrendered  for transfer  shall be canceled by the Trustee and upon the request
of the Company may be cremated by the Trustee and a certificate  evidencing  the
cremation thereof delivered to the Company.

     SECTION  14.  All bonds  issued  hereunder  shall,  from  time to time,  be
executed on behalf of the Company by its President or one of its Vice Presidents
and its corporate seal shall be thereunto  affixed and attested by its Secretary
or one of its' Assistant Secretaries. The coupons to be attached to coupon bonds
shall bear the facsimile signature of the present or any future Treasurer of the
Company. In case any of the officers who shall have signed any bonds or attested
the seal thereon or whose  facsimile  signature  appears on any  coupons,  shall
cease to be such  officers  of the  Company  before  the bonds so signed  and/or
sealed shall have been  actually  authenticated  and delivered by the Trustee or
issue by the Company,  such bonds  nevertheless may be authenticated,  delivered
and/or issued with the same force and effect as though the person or persons who
signed  such bonds or attested  the seal  thereon or whose  facsimile  signature
appears on any  coupons  had not ceased to be such  officer or  officers  of the
Company.  Before  authenticating  any coupon  bonds the  Trustee  shall cut off,
cancel and cremate all matured  coupon  thereto  attached  (except as  otherwise
provided  in  Sections  12 and 16  hereof),  and shall  deliver to the Company a
certificate evidencing the cremation thereof.

     SECTION 15. There may be  authenticated  and delivered and issued from time
to time in lieu of any definitive bond or bonds under this Indenture one or more
temporary typewritten,  printed, lithographed or engraved bonds substantially of
the tenor of the  bonds  hereinbefore  described,  with or  without  one or more
coupons, and with or without the privilege of registration as to principal only,
or as to both principal and interest, and such temporary bond or bonds may be in
such  denomination or denominations as the officers of the Company executing the
same may determine.  Until a definitive  bond or bonds secured hereby are issued
in exchange therefor, each such temporary bond or bonds shall be entitled to the
lien  and  benefit  of this  Indenture.  Upon the  exchange  by the  Company  of
definitive  coupon bonds or  definitive  fully  registered  bonds for  temporary
bonds' (which  exchange the Company shall make on request of, and without charge
to, the holder,  when  definitive  bonds are ready for delivery)  such temporary
bond or bonds and any unmatured coupons  appertaining  thereto shall be canceled
by the  Trustee  and upon the  request of the  Company  may be  cremated  by the
Trustee and a certificate  evidencing  such cremation  delivered to the Company.
When and as  interest  is paid  upon any  unregistered  temporary  bond  without
coupons, the fact of such payment shall be noted thereon and interest due on any
temporary  bond  which is  represented  by a  coupon  shall  be paid  only  upon
presentation  and  surrender of such coupon for  cancellation.  Temporary  bonds
without  coupons of any series  shall bear  interest  from the  beginning of the
current  interest  period for bonds of such series in which such temporary bonds
without  coupons  shall be  authenticated.  The holder of one or more  temporary
bonds may  exchange  the same on the  surrender  thereof  in bearer  form or, if
registered,  accompanied  by a written  instrument or instruments of transfer in
form approved by the Company,  duly executed by the registered  holder or by his
duly  authorized  attorney,  with all unmatured  coupons,  if any,  appertaining
thereto,  to the  Trustee for  cancellation,  and shall be entitled to receive a
temporary bond or bonds' of the same series of like aggregate  principal  amount
of such other denominations as the Company may determine to issue in exchange.

     SECTION  16.  Upon  receipt by the  Company  and the  Trustee  of  evidence
satisfactory  to  them,  of the  loss,  destruction  or  mutilation  of any bond
outstanding  hereunder and the coupons  appertaining  thereto,  and of indemnity
satisfactory  to them,  and upon payment,  if the Company shall require it, of a
reasonable  charge and upon  reimbursement to the Company and the Trustee of all
reasonable expense incident thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of such
bond, if mutilated,  and the coupons  appertaining  thereto, if any, the Company
may execute,  and the Trustee may authenticate  and deliver,  a new bond of like
tenor and of the same series with corresponding coupons in the appropriate case,
in lieu of such lost, destroyed or mutilated bond and coupons, if any.






  





  











  










     Any duplicate  bonds and/or coupons  issued  pursuant to this Section shall
constitute  original  additional  contractual  obligations  on the  part  of the
Company, whether or not the lost, destroyed or mutilated bonds or coupons, be at
any time found by anyone, and shall be equally secured and entitled to equal and
proportionate  benefits with all other bonds and coupons issued hereunder in any
moneys  or  property  at any time held by the  Trustee  for the  benefit  of the
bondholders.

     SECTION 17. No bond shall be secured  hereby unless there shall be endorsed
thereon the certificate of the Trustee,  substantially  in the form  hereinabove
recited,  that  it is one of the  bonds  (or  temporary  bonds),  of the  series
designated  therein,  herein provided for; and such certificate on any such bond
shall be  conclusive  evidence  that such bond has been duly  authenticated  and
delivered and when issued will be secured hereby.

     SECTION 18. The Company may provide for effecting  payment of the principal
of or  interest  on  bonds  of any  series  at one or  more  places  in  foreign
countries,  provided  that such payment  shall be only the stated amount of such
principal  and/or  interest in lawful money of the United States of America,  or
the equivalent  thereof in the appropriate  local foreign currency at the buying
rate at the time of such payment at such place or places for sight drafts on New
York.

     SECTION 19.  Notwithstanding  any of the  provisions  hereinbefore  in this
Article II contained to the contrary,  which said contrary  provisions shall not
be applicable to the bonds in this Section described, there shall be a series of

for a like  aggregate  principal  amount of fully  registered  bonds of the same
series of authorized denominations.






  





  











  










At the option of the registered  holder,  any fully registered bonds of the 1970
Series,  upon surrender thereof at said office or agency of the Company together
with a written  instrument  of  transfer in form  approved  by the Company  duly
executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized  attorney,  shall be
exchangeable  for a like aggregate  principal amount of coupon bonds of the same
series,  with all unmatured coupons attached,  or for a like aggregate principal
amount  of  fully  registered  bonds  of the same  series  of  other  authorized
denominations.

     The holder of any  coupon  bond of the 1970  Series may have the  ownership
thereof  registered as to principal on the books of the Company at the office or
agency of the Company in the City of Chicago,  Illinois,  and such  registration
noted on such bond.  After such  registration  no transfer of such bond shall be
valid unless made at said office or agency by the registered holder in person or
by his duly  authorized  attorney and similarly noted on such bond; but the same
may be  discharged  from  registration  by being in like manner  transferred  to
bearer and thereupon  transferability  by delivery  shall be restored;  but such
bond may  again  from time to time be  registered  or  transferred  to bearer in
accordance  with the above  procedure.  Such  registration,  however,  shall not
affect the  negotiability  of the coupons  appertaining to such bonds, but every
such coupon  shall  continue  to be  transferable  by delivery  merely and shall
remain payable to bearer.  Fully  registered bonds of the 1970 Series shall also
be  transferable  on the books of the  Company  at said  office or agency of the
Company by the registered  holder  thereof,  in person or by his duly authorized
attorney, upon surrender for cancellation thereof.

     SECTION 20. The Company  covenants that, so long as any of the bonds of the
1970 Series issued under this Indenture shall remain outstanding, it will, on or
before  the first day of  December  of each year  beginning  with the year 1949,
deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders or the  registered  owners
of bonds of the 1970 Series:

     An  amount in cash  and/or  principal  amount  of bonds of the 1970  Series
equivalent to one per centum (1%) of the greatest  principal  amount of bonds of
the 1970 Series theretofore at any one time outstanding.

     Such  cash  together  with any bonds  delivered  to the  Trustee  under the
provisions of this Section shall be dealt with a's provided for by this Section.

     All  cash  deposited  by the  Company  with  the  Trustee  pursuant  to the
provisions of this Section shall be applied by the Trustee from time to time and
as rapidly as may be  practicable  to the  purchase  of bonds of the 1970 Series
then  outstanding,  at public or private sale at the lowest prices at which such
bonds can be obtained, not exceeding, however, the then redemption price, or, if
the Company  shall so request,  the Trustee shall apply any cash then held by it
under this Section to the  redemption of bonds of the 1970 Series as soon as may
be  practicable  after such request.  In case the balance of such cash remaining
with the Trustee on the  twentieth day of March of any year  beginning  with the
year 1950 shall  aggregate  $25,000 or more, the Trustee shall apply the same to
the redemption of bonds of the 1970 Series on the next  succeeding  first day of
May,  such  redemption to be in the manner  provided in Article XII hereof.  The
Company  shall have the right to tender  bonds of the 1970 Series for sale by it
to the Trustee under the provisions of this Section.

     The Company shall pay to the Trustee,  on demand, the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest, and premiums paid, if any, upon all bonds purchased or redeemed
pursuant to this Section.

     Any bonds  deposited,  purchased or redeemed  pursuant to the provisions of
this Section,  shall forthwith be canceled by the Trustee,  and upon the request
of the  Company,  the  Trustee may cremate the same and deliver to the Company a
certificate of such cremation.

                                  ARTICLE III.

               GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS.

     SECTION 21. Each  certificate or opinion with respect to compliance  with a
condition  or  covenant  provided  for in this  Indenture  shall  include  (a) a
statement  that the person  making  such  certificate  or opinion  has read such
covenant or condition,  (b) a brief  statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation  upon which the statements or opinions contained in
such  certificate or opinion are based,  (c) a statement that, in the opinion of

the opinion of such person such condition or covenant has been complied with.

     In  addition to such other  certificates  or opinions as may be required by
other provisions of this Indenture or any indenture  supplemental  hereto, every
request  or  application  by the  Company  for  action by the  Trustee  shall be
accompanied  by an opinion of counsel and a  certificate  of the  President or a
Vice-President or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, or any
two of them, each such opinion of counsel and  certificate  stating that, in the
signers' opinion, the  conditions precedent, if any, to such action provided for
in this Indenture (including any covenants,  compliance with which constitutes a
condition  precedent)  will,  on the  delivery to the Trustee of such opinion of
counsel, resolutions, certificates and other documents, if any, annexed thereto,
have been complied with.

     Any  certificate  or opinion of an officer or officers of the Company or of
an  engineer  may be based,  in so far as it  relates to legal  matters,  upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel,  and, in so far as it
relates to  compliance  by the Company  with the net  earnings  requirements  of
Sections  7  and  29  or  with  the  provisions  of  Sections  41  and  47 or to

certificate or opinion of, or  representations  by, an accountant or accountants
or the Treasurer or an Assistant  Treasurer or the  Comptroller  or an Assistant
Comptroller  of the Company,  unless such officer or officers or engineer  knows
that the books and  records  of the  Company  or the  certificate  or opinion or
representations  with  respect  to the  matters  upon which his  certificate  or
opinion  may be  based  as  aforesaid  are  erroneous  or,  in the  exercise  of
reasonable  care,  should  have  known  that the same were  erroneous.  Any such
certificate  or  opinion  of  counsel  may be based,  in so far as it relates to
factual  matters,  information with respect to which is in the possession of the
Company,  upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or
officers  of the  Company,  and,  in so far as it relates to  compliance  by the
Company  with said net  earnings  requirements  or with the  provisions  of said
Sections 41 and 47 or to  computations  of costs,  upon a certificate or opinion
of, or  representations  by, an accountant or accountants or the Treasurer or an
Assistant  Treasurer  or the  Comptroller  or an  Assistant  Comptroller  of the
Company,   unless  such  counsel  knows  that  the  certificate  or  opinion  or
representations  with  respect  to the  matters  upon which his  certificate  or
opinion  may be  based  as  aforesaid  are  erroneous  or,  in the  exercise  of
reasonable care, should have known that the same were erroneous.

Directors of the Company to fix the price at which the bonds  authenticated  and
delivered  under  any  of the  provisions  of  this  Indenture  may  be  issued,
exchanged,  sold or disposed  of, but in so far as permitted by law (and subject
to the valid regulation of any public authority) any or all of said bonds may be
issued,   exchanged,   sold  or  disposed  of  upon  such  terms  and  for  such
considerations as the Board of Directors of the Company may deem fit.

     SECTION 25.  Bonds in addition to those  provided  for in Article IV hereof

to the Company (whichever is less) after making any deductions and any additions
required by subdivision (II) of Section 4 hereof.  The cost of any such property

     property additions without the payment of fair consideration  therefor; and
     (d) that this  Indenture  is, or upon the  delivery of the  instruments  of
     conveyance, transfer or assignment, if any, specified in such opinion, will
     be a lien upon all the right,  title and  interest of the Company in and to

damage by fire shall, subject to the requirements of any mortgage constituting a
prior  lien or a lien  prior  hereto,  be held by the  Trustee  and,  subject as
aforesaid,  shall be paid by it to the Company to  reimburse  the Company for an
equal amount spent in the  rebuilding or restoring of the property  destroyed or
damaged,   upon  receipt  by  the  Trustee  of  a  resolution   requesting  such
reimbursement and a Treasurer's  certificate  stating the amount so expended and
the nature of such restoring or rebuilding.

     Any such  moneys not so  applied  within  eighteen  (18)  months  after its
receipt by the Trustee, or in respect of which notice in writing of intention to
apply the same to the work of  rebuilding  or  restoring  then in  progress  and
uncompleted  shall not have been given to the Trustee by the Company within such
eighteen (18) months,  or which the Company shall at any time notify the Trustee
is not to be so applied,  shall thereafter be withdrawn,  used or applied in the
manner,  to the  extent  and for the  purposes  and  subject  to the  conditions
provided in Section 68 hereof.

     SECTION  41.  (I) That it will at all  times  make or cause to be made such
expenditures by means of repairs and maintenance and substitutions, renewals and
replacements  of property or  otherwise  as shall be  necessary  to maintain the
mortgaged and pledged property as an operating system or systems in good repair,
working order and condition.

     In furtherance but not in limitation  thereof,  the Company  covenants that
while any bonds of the 1970  Series  are  outstanding  it will,  for the  period
beginning May 1, 1940 and ending December 31, 1940 (such period for the purposes
of this Section  being  referred to as a calendar  year),  and for each calendar
year  thereafter,  pay to the  Trustee  on or  before  the first day of May next
succeeding  the  end of  such  calendar  year,  as  and  for a  Maintenance  and
Improvement  Fund, a sum in cash equal to the sum of ten per centum (10%) of the
gross steam  operating  revenues of the Company and fifteen per centum  (15%) of
the gross  operating  revenues  (other  than steam  operating  revenues)  of the
Company for such  calendar  year less,  however,  to the extent that the Company
desires to include the same, the following credits against such Fund:

          (a) All  expenditures  of the Company  during such  calendar  year for
     ordinary  maintenance  and repairs of the  mortgaged  and pledged  property
     which  have not  theretofore  been  made the basis of a credit  under  this
     Section;

          (b) Such amounts (which have not theretofore  been made the basis of a
     credit  under this  subdivision  (b)) of all  expenditures  of the  Company
     subsequent  to April 30,  1940 for  property of the  character  of property
     additions   which  has  not   theretofore   been  made  the  basis  of  the
     authentication and delivery of bonds hereunder; provided, however, that any
     such  expenditures,  set forth as the basis of a credit in the  Treasurer's
     certificate provided for in this Section, shall have been made with respect
     to  property  additions  constituting  part of the  mortgaged  and  pledged
     property at the date of such Treasurer's certificate; and provided further,
     that the aggregate of all amounts then and theretofore  made the basis of a
     credit  under this  subdivision  (b) shall not exceed the  aggregate of the
     costs of all mortgaged and pledged property retired subsequent to April 30,
     1940.  Such  costs  shall be  determined,  both with  respect to funded and
     unfunded property, in the manner provided for the determination of costs in
     connection  with the deductions  required by subdivision  (II) of Section 4
     hereof;






  





  











  










          (c) An amount  equal to one hundred  forty-two  and  six-sevenths  per
     centum  (142 6/7%) of the  principal  amount of each bond or  fraction of a
     bond to the  authentication and delivery of which the Company would then be
     entitled on the basis of property  additions by virtue of  compliance  with
     all applicable  provisions of this Indenture (except as hereinafter in this
     Section provided)  relating to such  authentication  and delivery but which
     have not been authenticated and delivered; and

          (d) The principal amount of any outstanding  bonds, with all unmatured
     coupons,  secured hereby, then surrendered to the Trustee,  which bonds and
     coupons  shall  forthwith be cancelled by the Trustee and,  upon request of
     the Company,  the Trustee may cremate the same and deliver to the Company a
     certificate of such cremation; and

          (e) An amount equal to one hundred and forty-two and  six-sevenths per
     centum (142 6/7%) of such principal  amount of bonds, the issue of which is
     provided for in Section 23 hereof, as to which the Treasurer's certificate,
     hereinafter  in this Section  provided for, shall state (i) that such bonds
     have not been authenticated and delivered hereunder, (ii) that the right to
     the  authentication  and  delivery  of such  bonds has not been  previously
     waived,  and (iii) that the Company elects to make such principal amount of
     bonds the basis of a credit under this  Section 41. Any such  election of a
     credit  shall  operate  as a  waiver  by the  Company  of its  tight to the
     authentication and delivery of such bonds under Section 23 hereof, and such
     bonds may not thereafter be authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     On or  before  the first  day of May next  succeeding  the end of each such
calendar year, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer's certificate
which shall state:

          (1) The amount which is 10% of the gross steam  operating  revenues of
     the Company during such year;

          (2) The amount  which is 15% of the gross  operating  revenues  (other
     than steam operating revenues) of the Company during such year;

          (3) The sum of the  amounts  stated in the  foregoing  clauses (1) and
     (2);

          (4) If  credit  is  desired  under  subdivision  (a),  the  amount  of
     expenditures of the character described in subdivision (a) for which credit
     is desired and that such amount has not theretofore  been made the basis of
     a credit under this Section;

          (5) If credit is desired under  subdivision  (b), a statement  showing
     the amount of such credit and how the same has been  calculated and stating
     that such amount has not theretofore  been made the basis of a credit under
     subdivision  (b) of this  Section  and  that the  property  for  which  the
     expenditures  were  made has not  theretofore  been  made the  basis of the
     authentication and delivery of bonds hereunder;






  





  











  










          (6) If credit is desired under  subdivision  (c), a statement  showing
     the amount of such credit together with the  certificates,  instruments and
     opinions required to be delivered by this Section in connection with such a
     credit;

          (7) If credit is desired under  subdivision  (d), the principal amount
     of bonds being surrendered as the basis of such credit;

          (8) If credit is desired  under  subdivision  (e),  the amount of such
     credit and the statements required under said subdivision (e);

          (9) The amount,  if any,  set forth  pursuant to clause (11) hereof in
     the next previous  Treasurer's  certificate  which shall have been filed by
     the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section except to the extent
     that any  credits  included  in such  excess  amount may have been made the
     basis of the withdrawal of cash deposited under this Section 41;

          (10) The  aggregate  of the  amounts  set  forth  in such  Treasurer's
     certificate pursuant to the foregoing clauses (4) to (9), inclusive;

          (11)  The  amount,  if any,  by which  the  amount  set  forth in such
     Treasurer's  certificate  pursuant to the foregoing clause (10) shall be in
     excess of the amount stated in such Treasurer's certificate pursuant to the
     foregoing clause (3);

          (12)  The  amount,  if any,  by which  the  amount  set  forth in such
     Treasurer's certificate pursuant to the foregoing clause (10) shall be less
     than the amount  stated in such  Treasurer's  certificate  pursuant  to the
     foregoing clause (3);

     The  Company  shall pay to the  Trustee in cash on or before the said first
day of May the amount set forth in such Treasurer's  certificate pursuant to the
foregoing  clause (12).  Any cash so deposited  may be withdrawn on the basis of
credits of the  character  set forth in the  foregoing  subdivisions  (a) to (e)
inclusive,  to the  extent  that the same would be  available  as the basis of a
credit against the Company's  obligation to deposit cash under this Section, and
shall be certified to the Trustee in the same manner as though such credits were
being made the basis of a credit  against the  Company's  obligation  to deposit
cash under this  Section.  Any  credit so made the basis of  withdrawal  of cash
under this Section may not  thereafter be made the basis of a credit of any kind
under this  Section.  Any cash so deposited  may, in lieu of being  withdrawn as
aforesaid,  be  applied to the  purchase  or  redemption  of bonds in the manner
provided for in subdivisions  (2) and (3) of Section 68 hereof.  Any cash not so
withdrawn or applied within three years from the date of receipt  thereof by the
Trustee  shall be applied by the Trustee to the purchase or  redemption of bonds
outstanding  hereunder in the manner  provided by  paragraph  (II) of Section 68
hereof.

     In case the Company shall, pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (b) of
this Section,  elect to make expenditures with respect to any property additions
the basis of a credit,  the Company  shall  deliver to the Trustee an opinion of
counsel to the effect that the  property  additions,  with  respect to which the
expenditures so certified were made,  constituted at the date of the Treasurer's
certificate part of the mortgaged and pledged property.

     In case the Company shall, pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (c) of
this  Section,  elect  to  avail  of a  credit  based  upon  the  right  to  the
authentication  and  delivery of bonds on the basis of property  additions,  the
Company shall comply with all applicable  provisions of this Indenture  relating
to such  authentication and delivery;  provided,  however,  that in no such case
shall the  Company be  required  to deliver to the  Trustee  any  resolution  or
document such as is described in subdivisions  (1), (2), (6) and (10) of Section
30  hereof  or such  parts of the  opinion  as are  required  by  clause  (e) of
subdivision  (7) of said Section 30, or such parts of the opinions  described in
subdivision (7) of said Section 30 as relate solely to the  authorization of the
issuance of bonds of the Company by  governmental  authorities or by the Company
or to the supplemental  indenture described in subdivision (10) of Section 30 or
to comply with the  provisions  of Section 29 hereof;  and such  election  shall
operate as a waiver by the Company of the right thereafter to make such property
additions the basis for the authentication and delivery of bonds hereunder,  and
such property additions shall have the status of funded property.

     (II) The Company  further  covenants  that it will,  whenever  requested in
writing by the Trustee,  or by the holders of at least  fifteen per centum (15%)
in principal  amount of bonds then outstanding  hereunder,  but in no event more
often than once in every five (5) years,  cause an  inspection  of the mortgaged
and pledged property to be made by an independent engineer.

     Such independent engineer, within a reasonable time from the date of his or
their appointment, shall report to the Company and to the Trustee whether or not
the mortgaged and pledged property,  as an operating system or systems, has been
maintained in good repair, working order and condition, and whether or not there
is any mortgaged and pledged  property which should be classified as retired and
which has not been  retired  on the books of the  Company.  If such  independent
engineer shall report that the mortgaged and pledged  property,  as an operating
system or systems, has not been so maintained, he or they shall state clearly in
such  report the  character  and extent and  estimated  cost of making good such
deficiency and, if longer than one year, the time  reasonably  necessary to make
good such deficiency and, if he or they shall report that there is mortgaged and
pledged  property  which should be  classified as retired and which has not been
retired on the books of the Company,  such report shall  briefly  describe  such
property  and shall state the amount of such  retirement.  Such amount  shall be
determined,  both with  respect to funded and unfunded  property,  in the manner
provided for the determination of the deductions required by subdivision (II) of
Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that with respect to any property additions
which shall not have been included in any engineer's  certificate or independent
engineer's certificate  theretofore furnished to the Trustee, the amount of such
retirement shall be the cost or fair value thereof  (whichever shall be less) as
of the date of such  report in the case of  property  additions  which  were not
funded  property,  and in the  case of  property  additions  which  were  funded
property  as of the  date  they  became  funded  property,  in  either  case  as
determined by the signers of such report. Said report shall be placed on file by
the Trustee and shall be open to inspection by any  bondholder at any reasonable
time.






  





  











  










     The Company shall,  with all reasonable  speed, do such maintenance work as
may be necessary to make good any such maintenance deficiency as shall have been
determined  to exist as  hereinabove  provided at the time of the report of such
independent  engineer,  whereupon such  independent engineer (or, in case of his
or their refusal or inability to act, some other  independent  engineer),  shall
report in writing to the Trustee whether such deficiency has been made good.

     Unless the  Trustee  shall be so  advised  in  writing by such  independent
engineer  within  one  year  from  the date of the  report  of such  independent
engineer,  or such longer period as may be reported by such independent engineer
to be reasonably  necessary for the purpose,  that such deficiency has been made
good, the Company shall be deemed to be in default in the  performance of one of
its covenants  under this  Indenture.  In any proceeding  based on such default,
said  report  or  reports  of such  independent  engineer  shall be prima  facie
evidence of the existence of the facts and conditions therein set forth.

     The  Company  covenants  that it will  promptly  retire on its books at the
amounts  stated in said report,  all property which said report states should be
retired.

     All  expenses  incurred  pursuant  to this  Section  shall  be borne by the
Company.

     (III) For the  purposes  of this  Section  41 and of  Section  47, the term
"Gross Operating Revenues of the Company" as applied to steam operating revenues
and other  operating  revenues of the Company is hereby  defined as the revenues
received  by the  Company  from the sale of  electric,  steam and  other  public
utility service and the amounts received as rentals or fixed charges for the use
by others (or the use by the Company  for the  account of others) of  generating
and  transmission  facilities  owned by the Company (with all  interdepartmental
items  eliminated),  and  after  deducting  an  amount  equal to the cost to the
Company  of  electricity,  steam  or  other  public  utility  service  products,
purchased  for  exchange or resale,  and after  deducting an amount equal to the
revenues  from the  operation of (or, at the option of the Company,  the cost of
rentals paid by the Company for) electric, steam or other producing, generating,
transporting,  transmitting or distributing  properties leased from others,  and
after  deducting an amount equal to charges to the Company for  transmission  by
others of electricity  and/or  transportation by others of steam or other public
utility service products;  provided,  however, that any operating revenue of the
Company which is in  controversy as a result of any litigation or which has been
impounded,  shall be included in the Gross Operating Revenues of the Company for
the purpose of this  computation,  but only after, and in the year in which, any
such  operating  revenue in  controversy  or impounded  is recovered  or, at the
option  of the  Company,  after,  and in the year in which,  it shall  have been
finally determined that such operating revenues belong to the Company.

     SECTION 42. That it will, subject to the provisions of Article XVII hereof,
at all times  maintain its  corporate  existence and right to carry on business,
and,  subject to the provisions  hereof,  will use its best efforts to maintain,
preserve and renew all the rights,  powers,  privileges and franchises  owned by
it.






  





  











  









     SECTION  43. That if it shall fail to perform any  covenants  contained  in
Sections 39, 40, 41, 42, or 44 hereof,  the Trustee may make advances to perform
the same in its behalf and shall make such advances if requested so to do by the
holders  of not less than a  majority  in  principal  amount  of the bonds  then
outstanding hereunder and furnished with funds adequate for the purpose and also
adequate to pay any expense  incurred in connection with such  performance;  the
Company shall at once repay to the Trustee all sums so advanced with interest at
the rate of five per centum (5%) per annum until paid,  and all sums so advanced
with the interest  thereon  shall be secured  hereby,  having the benefit of the
lien hereby created in priority to the  indebtedness  evidenced by the bonds and
coupons  issued  hereunder,  but no such advance  shall be deemed to relieve the
Company  from any default  hereunder  except  that,  to the extent that any such
advances by the Trustee shall be repaid by the Company,  such advances  shall be
deemed to have been payments of the Company as of the date of such repayment.

     SECTION 44. That it will cause this  Indenture to be promptly  recorded and
filed in such  manner and in such  places as may be  required by law in order to
fully preserve and protect the security of the bondholders and all rights of the
Trustee and will furnish to the Trustee:

          (1) Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture and of
     each supplemental  indenture,  an opinion of counsel (who may be of counsel
     for the  Company)  either  stating that in the opinion of such counsel this
     Indenture  and  all  indentures  supplemental  hereto  have  been  properly
     recorded and filed so as to make  effective the lien intended to be created
     thereby and  reciting  the  details of such  action or stating  that in the
     opinion  of such  counsel  no such  action is  necessary  to make such lien
     effective, and

          (2) At  least  annually  after  the  execution  and  delivery  of this
     Indenture  it will furnish to the Trustee an opinion of counsel (who may be
     of counsel  for the  Company)  either  stating  that in the opinion of such
     counsel such action has been taken with respect to the  recording,  filing,
     re-recording and refiling of this Indenture and all indentures supplemental
     hereto as is  necessary  to maintain  the lien  thereof,  and  reciting the
     details of such  action,  or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no
     such action is  necessary to maintain  such lieu.  As used in clause (2) of
     this  Section,  the term  "annually"  shall be  deemed to mean once in each
     calendar year following the calendar year 1940.

     It shall be a  compliance  with  clauses (1) and (2) of this Section if (a)
the opinion of counsel  therein  required to be delivered  to the Trustee  shall
state  (i) that the  indentures  which  may be the  subject  matter  of any such
opinion have been received for  recordation or filing or rerecording or refiling
in  each  jurisdiction  in  which  in the  opinion  of  such  counsel  they  are
respectively  required to be recorded or filed or rerecorded or refiled and (ii)
that,  in the opinion of such  counsel,  no further  action is necessary to make
effective  the lien  intended  to be  created by such  indentures,  and (b) such
opinion is delivered to the Trustee within such time,  following the date of the
execution  and delivery of the  respective  indentures  which may be the subject
matter of such opinion, as shall be practicable, having due regard to the number
and distance of the  jurisdictions in which the same are required to be recorded
or filed or rerecorded or refiled.






  





  











  










     SECTION 45. That it will execute and deliver such further  instruments  and
do such further acts as may be necessary or proper to carry out more effectually
the  purposes  of this  Indenture,  and to make  subject to the lien  hereof any
property  hereafter  acquired and intended to be subject to the lien hereof, and
to transfer to any new trustee or trustees  or  co-trustee  or  co-trustees  the
estate, powers, instruments or funds held in trust hereunder.

     SECTION 46. That books of record and account  will be kept,  in which full,
true and correct entries will be made, of all dealings or transactions of, or in
relation to, the plants,  properties,  business and affairs of the Company,  and
that all books,  documents  and  vouchers  relating to the  plants,  properties,
business and affairs of the Company shall at all reasonable times be open to the
inspection of such reputable accountant or other agent of recognized standing as
the Trustee may from time to time designate,  and that the Company will bear all
expenses of any such inspection.  Except as may be required pursuant to Sections
97 and 98 hereof,  the Trustee  shall be under no  obligation  to cause any such
inspection to be made unless requested so to do in writing by the holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding hereunder
and furnished with funds sufficient to pay all costs and expenses incurred or to
be incurred by it in or in connection with such inspection.

     SECTION 47. That  subsequent  to December 31, 1939 and so long as any bonds
of the 1970  Series are  outstanding,  (except as  hereinafter  in this  Section
otherwise  provided) it will not have (a) declared or paid any  dividends on its
capital  stock of any  class  (other  than  dividends  payable  in shares of its
capital stock of any class), or (b) made any other distribution on any shares of
its capital  stock of any class,  or (c) purchased or redeemed any shares of its
capital stock of any class, in an amount which would exceed in the aggregate the
amount of its net income after December 31, 1939  available for  dividends.  The
amount of such net income shall be determined in accordance with good accounting
practice after all proper  deductions,  including (i) deduction for amortization
of debt  discount  and  expense  and of  premiums  paid in  connection  with the
redemption of funded debt, and (ii)  expenditures and accruals for depreciation,
maintenance,  repairs, renewals, replacements and substitutions of the Company's
property in the amounts shown by the Company's  books, but in no event shall the
total  deduction  pursuant  to this  clause (ii) be less than the sum of ten per
centum  (10%) of the gross steam  operating  revenues of the Company and fifteen
per centum (15%) of the gross  operating  revenues  (other than steam  operating
revenues) of the Company from December 31, 1939 to the date of  determination of
such net income.  In  determining  the amount of such net  income,  no charge or
credit to surplus of the following nature shall be included:

          1. Surplus  adjustments  applicable  to the period prior to January 1,
     1940;

          2.  Charges  directly  to  earned  surplus  to  write-off  unamortized
     discount  and  expense  applicable  to  any  funded  debt  of  the  Company
     outstanding at any time prior to May 1,1940,  or unamortized  premiums paid
     in connection with the redemption of such funded debt;






  





  











  










          3.  Charges  directly  to  earned  surplus  to write  off  unamortized
     discount and expense  applicable  to any class of the capital  stock of the
     Company  heretofore or hereafter  outstanding  or  unamortized  premiums in
     connection  with the  redemption  of any class of the capital  stock of the
     Company now or hereafter outstanding and subject to redemption;

          4. Charges to earned  surplus for the  write-down  or write-off of any
     properties or investments of the Company which may be required by any rule,
     regulation or order of any public  authority having  jurisdiction  over the
     accounts of the Company.

     The restrictions and computations  under the foregoing  covenant,  however,
shall not apply (i) to the  declaration  or payment of dividends upon any shares
of its capital stock of any class to an amount in the aggregate not in excess of
$1,107,155  or (ii) to the  application  to the  purchase or  redemption  of any
shares  of its  capital  stock of any  class of  amounts  not to  exceed  in the
aggregate  the net proceeds  received by the Company from the sale of any shares
of its capital stock of any class subsequent to December 31, 1939.

     The Company  covenants that, so long as any of the bonds of the 1970 Series
are outstanding,  each financial  statement  required by Section 52 hereof to be
filed with the Trustee  will  disclose,  by footnote  or  otherwise,  the amount
available at the date of such financial statement for dividends,  distributions,
purchases and  redemptions,  pursuant to the  provisions of this Section 47, and
the  dividends,  distributions,  purchases,  and  redemptions,  if  any,  of the
character  referred to in this Section,  paid or made during the year covered by
such financial statement.

     The Company  covenants  that within fifteen (15) days after the date of the
declaration of any dividend, the making of any distribution on its capital stock
or the purchase or  redemption of any of its capital  stock,  it will notify the
Trustee of such action and will deliver to the Trustee a Treasurer's certificate
to the effect that such action was not in  violation of the  provisions  of this
Section.

     SECTION  48.  That it will not  issue,  or permit to be  issued,  any bonds
hereunder in any manner other than in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this
Indenture and that it will  faithfully  observe and perform all the  conditions,
covenants and requirements of this Indenture and of all indentures  supplemental
hereto and of the bonds issued hereunder.

     SECTION 49. I. That it will not  withdraw or permit the  withdrawal  of any
cash or purchase money obligations  representing the proceeds of insurance on or
the release of or the taking by eminent  domain of property  subject to the lien
of this  Indenture  which shall have been  deposited with the trustee of a prior
lien unless

          (a) such cash is deposited with the Trustee hereunder to be withdrawn,
     used or applied in the manner and  subject to the  conditions  provided  in
     Section 68  hereof,  except  that any such cash  representing  proceeds  of
     insurance  shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 40
     hereof; or






  





  











  










          (b) the  consent  of the  Trustee  hereunder  has  been  given to such
     withdrawal, which consent shall be given by the Trustee (1) with respect to
     any such cash  representing  proceeds of insurance upon compliance with the
     provisions of Section 40 hereof, or (2) with respect to any other cash upon
     compliance with the provisions of Section 68 hereof.  Any cash with respect
     to the  withdrawal  of which the Trustee  shall have given its'  consent in
     accordance  with the  provisions  of this  subdivision  (b)  shall  for all
     purposes  of this  Indenture  be deemed to have been  originally  deposited
     hereunder and to have been withdrawn,  used or applied under the provisions
     of Section 40 or Section 68 hereof as the case may be; or,

          (c) such cash is  deposited  with the  trustee of another  prior lien,
     such cash to be subject to the  restrictions  as to withdrawal  hereinabove
     set forth; or

          (d) such purchase money  obligations are withdrawn for payment and the
     cash  received  thereon is  deposited  with the trustee of such prior lien,
     such cash to be subject to the  restrictions  as to withdrawal  hereinabove
     set forth.

     II. That, upon the cancellation and discharge of any prior lien, it will

          (a) cause the balance of any cash and purchase  money  obligations  of
     the  character  described in  paragraph I of this Section  which shall have
     been  deposited  with  the  trustee  of  such  prior  lien  and  shall  not
     theretofore  have been withdrawn or permitted to be withdrawn in accordance
     with the provisions of said paragraph I to be deposited either (1) with the
     Trustee to be held and  applied in the same  manner as though such cash and
     purchase money  obligations  had originally been deposited with the Trustee
     hereunder,  or (2) With the trustee of another  prior  lien,  such cash and
     purchase  money  obligations  to  be  subject  to  the  restrictions  as to
     withdrawal hereinabove set forth; and

          (b) cause any prior lien bonds then held by the  trustee of such prior
     lien to be cancelled.

     III.  That,  so long as any prior lien  continues  to be a prior lien,  the
Company  will not  permit  prior  lien  bonds  secured  by such prior lien to be
increased  unless the prior  lien  bonds  representing  such  increase  shall be
deposited with the Trustee to be held under the provisions of Article XI hereof.

                                   ARTICLE X.

         BONDHOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE.

     SECTION 50. The Company  covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Trustee between June 15 and June 30 and between  December
15 and December 31 in each year beginning  with the period  between  December 15
and  December  31 in the year 1940,  and at such other  times as the Trustee may
request in writing,  a list in such form as the Trustee may  reasonably  require
containing all the information in the possession or control of the Company or of
its  paying  agents,  as to the  names and  addresses  of the  holders  of bonds
obtained  since  the  date as of which  the  next  previous  list,  if any,  was
furnished.  Any such list may be dated as of a date not more than  fifteen  days
prior to the time such  information is furnished or caused to be furnished,  and
need not include information received after such date.

     SECTION  51.  (a) The  Trustee  shall  preserve  in as current a form as is
reasonably  practicable  all  information  as to the names and  addresses of the
holders of the bonds  outstanding under this Indenture (1) contained in the most
recent list furnished to it, as provided in Section 50 hereof (2) received by it
in the capacity of paying agent with respect to the principal of and interest on
the bonds outstanding  under this Indenture,  and (3) filed with it within the 2
preceding  years pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subdivision  (c)
of Section 53 hereof.

     The Trustee may (1) destroy any information or portion thereof furnished to
it as provided in said Section 50 upon receipt of new  information  so furnished
to it in substitution  therefor;  (2) destroy any information  received by it as
paying  agent upon  delivering  to itself as Trustee,  not earlier  than 45 days
after an interest  payment date of the bonds,  a list  containing  the names and
addresses  of the  holders of bonds  obtained  from such  information  since the
delivery of the next previous  list,  if any; (3) destroy any list  delivered to
itself as Trustee which was compiled from  information  received by it as paying
agent upon receipt of a new list so delivered;  and (4) destroy any in formation
received by it pursuant to the  provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of
said Section 53 but not until 2 years after such information has been filed with
it.

     (b) In case three or more holders of such bonds (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants")  apply in  writing  to the  Trustee  and  furnish  to the  Trustee
reasonable  proof that each such  applicant has owned a bond  outstanding  under
this  Indenture  for a period  of at least 6 months  preceding  the date of such
application,   and  such  application  states  that  the  applicants  desire  to
communicate  with other holders of bonds with respect to their rights under this
Indenture or under the bonds,  and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy
or other  communication  which such  applicants  propose to  transmit,  then the
Trustee shall within 5 business days after the receipt of such  application,  at
its election, either

          (1) afford to such applicants  access to the information  preserved at
     the time by the Trustee in accordance  with the  provisions of  subdivision
     (a) of this Section; or

          (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate  number of holders of
     bonds whose names and addresses appear in the information  preserved at the
     time by the Trustee,  in accordance  with the provisions of subdivision (a)
     of  this  Section,  and  as to the  approximate  cost  of  mailing  to such
     bondholders the form of proxy or other communication,  if any, specified in
     such application.

     If the Trustee  shall elect not to afford  such  applicants  access to such
information,  the Trustee shall,  upon the written  request of such  applicants,
mail to each  bondholder  whose  name and  address  appears  in the  information
preserved at the time by the  Trustee,  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of
subdivision  (a) of  this  Section,  a copy  of  the  form  of  proxy  or  other
communication  which is specified in such request,  with  reasonable  promptness
after a tender to the Trustee of the  material  to be mailed and of payment,  or
provision for the payment of, the  reasonable  expenses of such mailing,  unless
within 5 days after such tender,  the Trustee shall mail to such  applicants and
file with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  together with a copy of the
material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the holders
of bonds or would be in  violation of  applicable  law.  Such written  statement
shall specify the basis of such opinion.  If said Commission,  after opportunity
for a hearing upon objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall
enter an order  refusing to sustain  any of such  objections,  or if,  after the
entry of an order  sustaining one or more of such  objections,  said  Commission
shall find, after notice and opportunity for a hearing,  that all the objections
so sustained  have been met and shall enter an order so  declaring,  the Trustee
shall mail  copies of such  material  to all such  bondholders  with  reasonable
promptness  after  the  entry of such  order  and the  renewal  of such  tender;
otherwise,  the  Trustee  shall be relieved  of any  obligation  or duty to such
applicants respecting their application.

     (c) The Trustee shall not be held  accountable  by reason of the mailing of
any material pursuant to any request made under subdivision (b) of this Section.

     SECTION 52. The Company covenants and agrees

          (1) To file with the  Trustee,  within 15 days  after the  Company  is
     required  to file the same with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,
     copies of the annual reports,  and of the information,  documents and other
     reports  (or  copies  of  such  portions  of any of the  foregoing  as such
     Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations  prescribe) which
     the  Company  may be  required  to file with such  Commission  pursuant  to
     Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934; or, if
     the Company is not  required  to file  information,  documents  or reports,
     pursuant to either of such Sections,  then to file with the Trustee and the
     Securities  and  Exchange   Commission,   in  accordance   with  rules  and
     regulations  prescribed from time to time by said  Commission,  such of the
     supplementary and periodic information,  documents and reports which may be
     required  pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 in
     respect  of a  security  listed and  registered  on a  national  securities
     exchange  as may be  prescribed  from  time  to  time  in  such  rules  and
     regulations;

          (2)  To  file  with  the  Trustee  and  the  Securities  and  Exchange
     Commission,  in accordance with the rules and  regulations  prescribed from
     time to time by said Commission, such additional information, documents and
     reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the  conditions  and
     covenants  provided for in this  Indenture as may be required  from time to
     time by such rules and regulations;

          (3) To  transmit  to the  holders  of  bonds  outstanding  under  this
     Indenture,  within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee (or at
     such  other  time  as  shall  be  fixed  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange
     Commission) and in the manner and to the extent provided in subdivision (c)
     of Section 53 hereof with respect to reports pursuant to subdivision (a) of
     said  Section,  such  summaries of any  information,  documents and reports
     required to be filed by the Company,  pursuant to subdivisions  (1) and (2)
     of this Section, as may be required by the rules and regulations prescribed
     from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

          (4) If at any time hereafter the Company shall not be required to file
     copies of its annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to
     file with the Trustee  within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close
     of each fiscal year a statement  signed by the Treasurer of the Company and
     an  independent  certified  or  public  accountant  showing  its  financial
     condition and giving reasonably  detailed  information as to its assets and
     liabilities and its earnings and operating expenses.

     SECTION 53. (a) The Trustee shall transmit,  within 60 days after May 15 in
each year,  beginning  with the year 1941, to the  bondholders as hereinafter in
this Section provided a brief report dated as of such May 15 with respect to

          (1) Its eligibility and its  qualifications  under Sections 96 and 109
     hereof,  or in  lieu  thereof,  if to  the  best  of its  knowledge  it has
     continued  to be eligible  and  qualified  under such  Sections,  a written
     statement to such effect;

          (2) The  character  and amount of any  advances  (and,  if the Trustee
     elects so to state, the circumstances  surrounding the making thereof) made
     by the Trustee, as such, which remain unpaid on the date of such report and
     for the  reimbursement  of which it  claims  or may  claim a lien or charge
     prior to that of the bonds upon the mortgaged and pledged property, or upon
     property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee,  if such  advances so
     remaining  unpaid aggregate more than one-half of one percentum (1/2 of 1%)
     of the aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding under this Indenture
     on the date of such report;

          (3)  The  amount,  interest  rate  and  maturity  date  of  all  other
     indebtedness  owing by the  Company,  or any  other  obligor  on the  bonds
     secured  hereby,  to the Trustee in its individual  capacity on the date of
     such report,  with a brief  description  of any property held as collateral
     security   therefor,   except  an   indebtedness   based  upon  a  creditor
     relationship  arising in any manner described in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 or 6 of
     subdivision (b) of Section 110 hereof;

          (4)  The  property  and  funds  physically  in the  possession  of the
     Trustee,  as such Trustee,  or of a depositary  for it, on the date of such
     report;

          (5) Any release,  or release and substitution,  of property subject to
     the lien of this Indenture (and  the consideration  therefor, if any) which
     it has not previously reported;  provided, however, that to the extent that
     the  aggregate  value as shown by the release  papers of any or all of such
     released  properties does not exceed an amount equal to 1% of the principal
     amount of bonds then outstanding,  the report need only indicate the number
     of such  releases,  the total  value of  property  released as shown by the
     release  papers,  the  aggregate  amount of cash received and the aggregate
     value of property received in substitution therefor as shown by the release
     papers;

          (6) Any additional issue of bonds issued under this Indenture which it
     has not previously reported; and

          (7) Any action taken by the Trustee in the  performance  of its duties
     under this Indenture which it has not previously reported and which, in its
     opinion,  materially affects the bonds outstanding under this Indenture, or
     materially  affects the  mortgaged and pledged  property,  except action in
     respect of a default,  notice of which has been or is to be withheld by it,
     in accordance with the provisions of Section 73.

     (b) The Trustee shall transmit to the bondholders as hereinafter provided a
brief report with respect to--

          (1) the release,  or release and substitution,  of property subject to
     the lien of this Indenture (and the consideration  therefor, if any) unless
     the fair value of such property, as set forth in the certificate or opinion
     required by  Sections 66 or 68 is less than 10 per centum of the  principal
     amount of bonds  outstanding  at the time of such release,  or such release
     and  substitution,  such report to be so  transmitted  within 90 days after
     such time; and

          (2) the  character  and  amount of any  advances  (and if the  Trustee
     elects so to state, the circumstances  surrounding the making thereof) made
     by the  Trustee  as such  since  the  date of the last  report  transmitted
     pursuant to the  provisions of subsection  (a) of this Section 53 (or if no
     such report has yet been so  transmitted,  since the date of  execution  of
     this  Indenture),  for the  reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a
     lien or charge  prior to that of the  bonds on the  mortgaged  and  pledged
     property or on property or funds held or  collected  by it as Trustee,  and
     which it has not previously  reported  pursuant to  this paragraph, if such
     advances  remaining unpaid at any time aggregate more than 10 per centum of
     the principal  amount of bonds  outstanding at such time, such report to be
     transmitted within 90 days after such time.

     (c) Reports, pursuant to this Section, shall be transmitted by mail

          (1)  to  all  registered  holders  of  bonds  outstanding  under  this
     Indenture  as the names  and  addresses  of such  holders  appear  upon the
     registration books of the Company;

          (2) to such holders of bonds outstanding under this Indenture as have,
     within the two (2) years preceding such transmission, filed their names and
     addresses with the Trustee for that purpose; and






  





  











  










          (3) except in the case of reports  pursuant to subsection  (b) of this
     Section, to each bondholder whose name and address is preserved at the time
     by the Trustee, as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 51 hereof.

     (d) A copy of each such report shall,  at the time of such  transmission to
the bondholders, be filed by the Trustee with each Stock Exchange upon which any
of the bonds are listed, and also with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                  ARTICLE. XI.

               CONCERNING PRIOR LIEN BONDS DEPOSITED WITH TRUSTEE.

     SECTION 54. Each prior lien bond in coupon form  deposited with the Trustee
shall  have  all  unmatured  coupons  attached  when so  deposited,  or shall be
accompanied by evidence  satisfactory to the Trustee (which may be a certificate
of the  mortgagee  or trustee  under the prior lien  securing the same) that the
discharge  of the  mortgage or other lien  securing  such prior lien bond may be
obtained  without the  production  of any coupon or coupons that may be missing;
and each prior lien bond so deposited shall be uncanceled.  Each prior lien bond
deposited  hereunder  shall be in  bearer  form or  accompanied  by  appropriate
instruments of transfer;  and the Trustee may cause any or all registered  prior
lien bonds to be registered in its name as Trustee, or otherwise, or in the name
or names of its nominee or nominees.

     SECTION 55. All prior lien bonds  received by the Trustee for the  purposes
of this Article XI shall be held by the Trustee,  as part of the  mortgaged  and
pledged property and without impairment of the lien thereof,  for the protection
and  further  security  of  the  bonds  issued  hereunder.   Except  during  the
continuance of a completed default specified in Section 72 of this Indenture, no
payment by way of interest or  otherwise  on any of the prior lien bonds held by
the Trustee shall be made or demanded and the coupons  thereto  appertaining  as
they mature  shall be canceled by the Trustee and  delivered  so canceled to the
Company,  unless the Company shall,  by an instrument in writing,  signed by its
President or a Vice-President  or its Treasurer or an Assistant  Treasurer,  and
delivered to the Trustee,  elect,  with respect to any of such prior lien bonds,
to have such  payments  made and  demanded.  In any  event,  except  during  the
continuance  of a completed  default as  aforesaid,  all moneys  received by the
Trustee on account of the principal of or interest or premium on said prior lien
bonds (to the extent that a  Treasurer's  certificate  delivered  to the Trustee
shall state that such moneys do not  represent  the proceeds of insurance on, or
of the release of, or of the taking by eminent domain of,  mortgaged and pledged
property,  including the proceeds of and substitutes for any thereof),  shall be
paid  over  by the  Trustee  to or upon  the  order  of the  Company  signed  as
aforesaid;  provided that if and to the extent that such Treasurer's certificate
shall not state that such moneys do not  represent the proceeds of insurance on,
or of the  release  of, or of the taking by eminent  domain  of,  mortgaged  and
pledged property, including the proceeds of and substitutes for any thereof, the
same shall be  retained by the  Trustee  and held as part of the  mortgaged  and
pledged  property,  to be  withdrawn,  used or applied,  in the  manner,  to the
extent, and for the purposes,  and subject to the conditions provided in Section
68 hereof.






  





  











  









     SECTION 56. Except during the continuance of a completed  default specified
in Section 72 hereof,  the Trustee,  if so directed by an  instrument in writing
signed by the  President or a Vice-  President or the  Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer  of the  Company,  shall  cause any prior  lien bonds held by it to be
canceled,  and the obligation  thereby evidenced to be satisfied and discharged,
provided that it shall have received  notice from the trustee or other holder of
the prior lien securing the same that such trustee or other  holder,  on receipt
of the prior  lien bonds  held by the  Trustee,  will cause the prior lien to be
satisfied  and  discharged  of record  and, in such  event,  the  Trustee  shall
surrender  any prior lien  bonds  held by it  subject to this  Article XI to the
trustee or other holder of the prior lien  securing  the same for  cancellation;
provided that if all of the property  subject to the prior lien  securing  prior
lien bonds deposited with the Trustee, shall have been released from the lien of
this Indenture,  such prior lien bonds as shall thereupon cease to be prior lien
bonds shall be  surrendered  forthwith  by the  Trustee to the Company  upon the
written  order of its  President  or a  Vice-President  or its  Treasurer  or an
Assistant Treasurer.

     SECTION 57. Upon the  occurrence  of any  completed  default  specified  in
Section 72 hereof,  the Trustee may  exercise any and all rights of a bondholder
with  respect  to the  prior  lien  bonds  then held by it or may take any other
action  which shall in its  judgment be  desirable  or necessary to avail of the
security created for such prior lien bonds by the prior liens securing the same.
The Trustee  shall be  reimbursed  from the trust  estate for all expenses by it
properly  incurred by reason of any such action taken without  negligence or bad
faith,  with interest upon all such  expenditures at the rate of five per centum
(5%) per annum;  and the  amount of such  expenses  and  interest  shall,  until
repaid,  constitute a lien upon the mortgaged and pledged  property prior to the
lien of the bonds and coupons issued hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE XII.

                        REDEMPTION OR PURCHASE OF BONDS.

     SECTION 58.  Such of the bonds of any series  issued  hereunder  as are, by
their  terms,  redeemable  before  maturity  may,  at the option of the  Company
evidenced  by a  resolution,  be redeemed at such times,  in such amounts and at
such prices as may he specified therein and in accordance with the provisions of
the three next succeeding Sections numbered from 59 to 61, both inclusive.

     SECTION  59. In case of a  redemption  of a part only of any series of said
bonds,  the  particular  serial  numbers of the coupon bonds  (including  serial
numbers of coupon bonds reserved for fully  registered  bonds of such series) so
to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot, according to such method
as it shall  deem  proper  in its  discretion.  Notice  of  intention  to redeem
(including in case a part only of the bonds of any  particular  series are to be
redeemed,  the numbers of the bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part) shall be
given,  by or on behalf of the Company,  by publication  in one daily  newspaper
printed in the English language and published and of general  circulation in the
Borough of Manhattan,  The City of New York, and in one daily newspaper  printed
in the English  language and published and of general  circulation in each other
city (if any) where the  interest on or principal of the bonds to be redeemed is
payable,  for such  period of time  before the date fixed for  redemption  as is
specified  in  Section  19 hereof as to bonds of the 1970  Series  and as to the
bonds of any other series for such periods as may be fixed for the bonds of such
other series by the supplemental indenture establishing such series of bonds, or
if no such  period be fixed,  then at least once in each of four (4)  successive
calendar  weeks (on any secular day of such  calendar week which need not be the
same day in each week)  immediately  preceding the date fixed for redemption.  A
copy of such  notice  shall also be mailed by or on behalf of the  Company,  not
less than twenty (20) days before the date fixed for redemption,  to each holder
of any fully  registered  bond or of any coupon bond  registered as to principal
which  is to be  redeemed,  at his  last  address,  if any,  appearing  upon the
registry  books,  but such  mailing  shall not be a condition  precedent to such
redemption  and failure so to mail any such notice shall not affect the validity
of the proceedings for the redemption of such bonds.

     SECTION  60. In the event that the  Company  shall  complete  the giving of
notice by publication  of its intention to redeem any bonds so  redeemable,  the
Company shall, and it hereby covenants that it will, on or before the redemption
date  specified  in  such  notice,  deposit  with  the  Trustee  a sum of  money
sufficient  to redeem  all such  bonds so to be  redeemed  on such  date  and/or
irrevocably  direct the Trustee to apply from money held by it  available  to be
used for the  redemption  of bonds,  a sum of money  sufficient  to redeem  such
bonds.  If the Company shall fail so to deposit or direct the application of the
money for the  redemption  of said bonds and such failure  shall  continue for a
period of ten days after the redemption date, such failure, so continued,  shall
constitute a completed default under this Indenture and the said bonds so called
for  redemption  shall  thereupon  immediately  become due and payable,  and the
holders of said bonds shall be  entitled  to receive  and the  Company  shall be
obligated to pay the  redemption  price of said bonds and  thereupon and without
the lapse of any period of time all the  remedies  provided  for in Article  XIV
hereof  with  respect  to a  default  in  the  payment  of  principal  of  bonds
outstanding hereunder shall be available to and enforceable by the Trustee.

     SECTION 61. All moneys  deposited by the Company with the Trustee under the
provisions of this Article XII for the  redemption of bonds or which the Company
directs  shall be  applied  by the  Trustee to the  redemption  of bonds  shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 130 hereof, be held by the Trustee in trust
for account of the holders of the bonds so to be redeemed,  and shall be paid to
them respectively,  upon presentation and surrender of said bonds in bearer form
or if  registered,  accompanied  by a written  instrument  of  transfer  in form
approved by the Company duly  executed by the  registered  holder or by his duly
authorized attorney,  with all unmatured coupons, if any,  appertaining thereto.
Coupons  maturing on or prior to the  redemption  date shall  remain  payable in
accordance with their terms.  On and after such  redemption  date, if the moneys
for the  redemption  of the bonds to be redeemed  shall have been  deposited  or
directed to be applied as aforesaid, such bonds shall cease to bear interest and
the coupons for interest,  if any,  maturing  subsequent to the redemption  date
shall be void.

     If any serial  number shall be drawn by the Trustee at any selection by lot
as in Section 59 hereof provided for, which is reserved for any fully registered
bond of a denomination  larger than One thousand  dollars  ($1,000),  such fully
registered  bond shall be presented  properly  endorsed for transfer at or after
the date fixed for the redemption of said bonds so drawn for redemption, and the
payment with  respect to said bond shall be made upon  surrender of said bond so
endorsed;  and coupon bonds or fully registered bonds for the unpaid balance, if
any, of the  principal  amount of the fully  registered  bond so  presented  and
surrendered  shall be executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by
the  Trustee  without  charge  therefor.  On and after  the date  fixed for such
redemption,  interest  shall  be  payable  only on the  portion  of  said  fully
registered  bond not so  called  for  redemption  and only  such  portion  shall
continue to be entitled to the benefit of the lien of this Indenture.

     SECTION 62. At any time,  upon the  request of the  Company,  expressed  by
resolution,  the Trustee shall,  to the extent that such bonds are available for
such purchase,  apply all or any part of the cash held by it under any provision
of this  Indenture  (except cash  deposited  under the  provisions of Section 20
hereof or under any like devices for the  retirement  of bonds and except moneys
deposited for the payment or redemption of a particular  series of bonds) or any
cash deposited with it by the Company for the purpose,  to the purchase of bonds
then  outstanding  hereunder of such series as the Company may  designate.  Such
purchase  shall be at public or private sale, as the Trustee may  determine,  at
the lowest prices at which such bonds can be obtained, not exceeding the current
redemption  price of such  bonds as shall be by their  terms  redeemable  before
maturity,  or at not more than one  hundred  and five per  centum  (105%) of the
principal of bonds not so redeemable,  plus accrued interest.  The Company shall
have  the  right  to  tender  bonds  for  sale by it to the  Trustee  under  the
provisions of this Section. Before making any such purchase the Trustee may, and
upon request of the Company,  shall, by notice published once in each of two (2)
successive  calendar weeks (on any secular day in the week which need not be the
same day in each week) in one daily  newspaper,  printed in the English language
and published and of general  circulation in the Borough of Manhattan,  The City
of New York,  advertise for written proposals (to be received by it on or before
a specified  date) to sell to it on or before a subsequent  specified date bonds
of the series  designated  by the Company then  outstanding  hereunder;  and the
Trustee,  to the  extent,  as nearly as is  possible,  of such funds then in its
hands and requested by the Company to be so applied, shall purchase the bonds so
offered at the price or prices most  favorable  to the Company,  and  reasonable
notice  shall be mailed by the  Trustee  to the  holder or  holders of the bonds
whose  proposals may be accepted.  Should there be two or more  proposals at the
same price  aggregating more than the amount which the Trustee has available for
investment,  after having  accepted all proposals at lower  prices,  the Trustee
shall  invest the amount so  available,  by  acceptance  of  proposals  so as to
acquire the  requisite  amount of bonds at the lowest cost  possible,  provided,
however,  that to the extent  consistent  with the acquisition of such amount of
bonds at the lowest cost possible the Trustee shall (a) in accepting  proposals,
give  preference  to such  proposals as are subject to  acceptance  of a portion
thereof as against  proposals  not  subject to such  acceptance,  (b) as between
proposals subject to acceptance of a portion thereof,  accept the same pro rata,
and (c) as between  proposals  not  subject to such  acceptance,  select by lot,
according to such method as the Trustee shall deem proper in its discretion, the
proposals  to be  accepted.  The  Trustee may also in its  discretion,  and upon
request of the Company so to do, shall invite  offers of bonds for sale to it in
any other usual manner.  The Trustee may reject any or all proposals in whole or
in part if it can at the time of opening said  proposals  purchase the requisite
amount of such bonds or any part  thereof  from the Company or others at a lower
price than it could by accepting said proposals.  All offers by holders shall be
subject to acceptance of a portion  thereof  unless  otherwise  expressed in the
offers and all advertisements for written proposals shall so state.

     The Company shall pay to the Trustee,  on demand, the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest upon all bonds purchased pursuant to this Section or redeemed in
the manner and as provided in this Article XII.

     SECTION 63. All bonds issued hereunder paid,  retired or redeemed under any
of the  provisions of this  Indenture or purchased by the Trustee as provided in
Section  62 hereof and all  appurtenant  coupons,  if any,  shall  forthwith  be
canceled  by the  Trustee,  and at the  request of the  Company  the Trustee may
cremate the same and deliver to the Company a certificate of such cremation.

                                  ARTICLE XIII.

         POSSESSION, USE AND RELEASE OF MORTGAGED AND PLEDGED PROPERTY.


     SECTION 64. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the interest
on any of the bonds then  outstanding  hereunder or one or more of the completed
defaults  specified in  Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing,
the  Company  shall be suffered  and  permitted  to  possess,  use and enjoy the
mortgaged and pledged property (except such cash as is expressly  required to be
deposited  with the  Trustee  and  except,  to the extent  not herein  otherwise
provided,  such  securities as are expressly  required to be deposited  with the
Trustee), and to receive, use and dispose of the tolls, rents, revenues, issues,
earnings, income, product and profits thereof, with power in the ordinary course
of business freely and without let or hindrance on the part of the Trustee or of
the  bondholders,  to use,  consume  and dispose of  supplies  acquired  for the
purpose and except as herein otherwise expressly provided,  to the contrary,  to
exercise any and all rights under choses in action,  contracts,  franchises  and
claims.

     SECTION 65. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the interest
on any of the bonds then  outstanding  hereunder or one or more of the completed
defaults  specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be  continuing,
the  Company  may at any time and from  time to time,  without  any  release  or
consent by the Trustee, or accountability thereto for any consideration received
by the Company:

          (1) sell or otherwise dispose of, free from the lien of this Indenture
     any machinery,  equipment, tools, implements or other property, which shall
     have become old, inadequate,  obsolete,  worn out or unfit or unadapted for
     use in the  operations  of the  Company,  upon  replacing  the  same  by or
     substituting  for the same other  property (not then within the term funded
     property) of at least equal value to that of the property sold or otherwise
     disposed of and subject to no liens prior hereto  except liens to which the
     property sold or otherwise disposed of was subject;






  





  











  










          (2) cancel or make changes or alterations in or  substitutions  of any
     and all contracts, leases and/or right of way grants;

          (3)  surrender  or assent to the  modification  of any  right,  power,
     franchise,  license,  governmental  consent or permit under which it may be
     operating,  provided that such surrender or modification is, in the opinion
     of the Board of  Directors of the Company  (such  opinion to be stated in a
     resolution to be filed with the  Trustee),  desirable in the conduct of the
     business  of the  Company  and does not  impair the  security  of the bonds
     outstanding hereunder.

     SECTION  66. A.  Unless the  Company  is in  default in the  payment of the
interest on any bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed
defaults  specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be  continuing,
the Company may obtain the release of any of the mortgaged and pledged property,
except cash then held by the Trustee (provided,  however,  that prior lien bonds
deposited  with the Trustee shall not be released  except as provided in Article
XI hereof, and that, at the option of the Company, the mining properties and the
land and  buildings  located at West Tenth  Street  and White  River  Boulevard,
Indianapolis,  Indiana,  owned by the Company at the date hereof may be released
as provided  hereafter in paragraph B of this Section 66), and the Trustee shall
release the same from the lien hereof  upon the  application  of the Company and
receipt by the Trustee of

          (1) a resolution  describing in  reasonable  detail the property to be
     released  and  requesting  such  release and  stating  that the Company has
     disposed of,  exchanged or dedicated,  or agreed to dispose of, exchange or
     dedicate the same;

          (2) a  Treasurer's  certificate  stating  that the  Company  is not in
     default  in the  payment  of the  interest  on any bonds  then  outstanding
     hereunder and that none of the completed  defaults  specified in Section 72
     hereof has occurred and is continuing;

          (3) if the fair value of the property to be released,  as set forth in
     the certificate  required by this subdivision (3), is equal to or more than
     the greater of (i) Twenty-five  thousand Dollars  ($25,000) or (ii) one per
     centum (1%) of the aggregate principal amount of the bonds outstanding, and
     if the fair value of the property to be released and of all other  property
     released since the  commencement of the current calendar year, as set forth
     in the certificates  required by this subdivision (3), is ten per centum or
     more of the aggregate  principal  amount of bonds at the time  outstanding,
     then  an  independent  engineer's  certificate;   otherwise  an  engineer's
     certificate;   such  engineer's   certificate  or  independent   engineer's
     certificate,  as the case may be,  shall be made and  dated  not more  than
     ninety (90) days prior to the date of such application and shall state: (a)
     the fair  value,  in the  opinion of the  signers,  of the  property  to be
     released;  (b) what  portion,  if any,  of the  property  to be released is
     funded  property;  (c) that such  release is in the  opinion of the signers
     desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company;  and (d) that such
     release will not impair the security under this Indenture in  contravention
     of the provisions hereof;






  





  











  










          (4) an  amount  in  cash,  to be  held by the  Trustee  as part of the
     mortgaged and pledged property,  equivalent to the amount, if any, by which
     the then fair value of the  property to be released,  as'  specified in the
     engineer's  certificate or in the independent engineer's  certificate,  as
     the case  may be,  provided  for in  subdivision  (3)  above,  exceeds  the
     aggregate (subject to the limitations  hereinafter  contained in clause (c)
     of this subdivision  with respect to obligations  secured by purchase money
     mortgages upon the property released) of the following items:

               (a) the principal  amount of any obligations  secured by purchase
          money mortgage upon the property released delivered to the Trustee, to
          be held as part of the mortgaged and pledged property; and

               (b) one hundred and  forty-two and  six-sevenths  per centum (142
          6/7%) of the  principal  amount  of each bond or fraction of a bond to
          the authentication and delivery of which the Company shall be entitled
          under  any of the  provisions  of this  Indenture  (other  than  those
          contained  in  Section  32  hereof  and  except  that  against   bonds
          authenticable under Section 31 hereof,  credit may be taken under this
          subdivision  in an amount equal only to one hundred per centum  (100%)
          of the principal  amount of such bonds) by virtue of  compliance  with
          all  applicable  provisions  of this  Indenture  (except any  earnings
          requirements   or  net   earnings   certificates)   relating  to  such
          authentication  and delivery but which have not been authenticated and
          delivered; provided, however, that any application for such release of
          property  shall,  to the  extent,  and to the  extent  only,  that the
          property so to be released is (i) funded  property,  or (ii)  property
          the  expenditures for which have been made the basis of a credit under
          Section 41 hereof,  operate as a waiver by the Company of the right to
          the  authentication and delivery of each such bond or fraction thereof
          on the basis of which  right such  property is  released;  and to such
          extent  no  such  bond  or   fraction   thereof  may   thereafter   be
          authenticated  and  delivered  hereunder  and,  to  such  extent,  any
          property  additions  which  were  the  basis  of  such  right  to  the
          authentication  and  delivery of bonds so waived shall have the status
          of funded property; and

               (c) the principal  amount of any obligations  secured by purchase
          money  mortgage upon the property to be released  and/or any amount in
          cash, that is evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate of the trustee
          or other  holder of a prior lien or a lien prior  hereto,  as the case
          may be,  stating  that such  trustee or other  holder has received and
          holds the same in accordance with the provisions of such prior lien or
          lien prior hereto in consideration for the release of such property or
          any part thereof from such prior lien or lien prior hereto;

     provided,   however,   that  for  the  purposes  of  this  subdivision  (4)
     obligations  secured by purchase  money  mortgages  upon the property to be
     released shall be included in determining such aggregate only to the extent
     of a sum which shall not exceed  seventy per centum (70%) of the fair value
     of the property  released and only if the principal  amount of the purchase
     money  obligations  so included plus the  principal  amount of all purchase
     money  obligations  then held by the  Trustee  or by the  trustee  or other
     holder of a prior lien or lien prior  hereto under the  provisions  of this
     subdivision (4) and theretofore  included in making the computation  herein
     provided for shall not exceed five per centum (5%) of the principal  amount
     of all bonds then outstanding under this Indenture;

          (5) in case any  obligations  secured by purchase  money mortgage upon
     the  property to be released  are  included in the  consideration  for such
     release and are  delivered to the Trustee or to the trustee or other holder
     of a prior lien or a lien prior  hereto in  connection  with any release of
     such  property,  an opinion  of counsel to the effect  that in his or their
     opinion,  such  obligations  are valid  obligations,  and that any purchase
     money  mortgage  securing the same is sufficient to afford a valid purchase
     money  lien upon the  property  to be  released,  subject  to no lien prior
     thereto except such liens, if any, as shall have existed thereon just prior
     to such release as liens prior to the lien of this Indenture.

     In case the  release  of  property  is in whole or in part,  based upon the
right to the authentication and delivery of bonds (as permitted under clause (4)
(b) of this Section) the Company,  except as otherwise in this Section provided,
shall comply with all applicable  provisions of this Indenture  relating to such
authentication and delivery;  provided,  however, that in no such case shall the
Company be required to deliver to the Trustee any resolution or document such as
is described in subdivisions (1), (2), (6) and (10) of Section 30 hereof or such
parts of the opinion as are described in clause (e) of  subdivision  (7) of said
Section 30 or such parts of the opinions  described in  subdivision  (7) of said
Section 30 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of bonds of the
Company by  governmental  authorities  or by the Company or to the  supplemental
indenture  described  in  subdivision  (10) of Section 30, or to comply with the
provisions of Section 29 hereof;  and provided further,  that if the property to
be released  is not funded  property  (i) the  Company  shall not be required to
comply with the  provisions  of Section 28 hereof,  and (ii) that portion of the
opinion of counsel required by, clause (d) of subdivision (7) of said Section 30
may state that the  property  additions  made the basis of the  application  for
release are subject to prior liens which  secure prior lien bonds which have not
ceased to be outstanding under the provisions of Section 6 hereof;  and provided
further,  that if any such  application  for  release  on the basis of  property
additions  shall  not  operate  as a waiver by the  Company  of the right to the
authentication  and delivery of bonds on the basis of such  property  additions,
then none of the  computations set forth in subdivision (II) of Section 4 hereof
need be made  and  provided  further  that the  cost of any  property  additions
received or to be received by the Company in whole or in part, as  consideration
in  exchange  for the  property to be  released  shall for all  purposes of this
Indenture be deemed to be the amount stated in the engineer's  certificate or in
the  independent  engineer's  certificate,  as the case may be,  provided for in
subdivision  (3) of this  Section  to be the fair  value of the  property  to be
released  (a)  plus the  amount  of any  cash or the  fair  value  of any  other
consideration  to be  stated  in  such  engineer's  certificate  or  independent
engineer's certificate,  as the case may be, paid and/or delivered or to be paid
and/or  delivered by the Company in connection  with such exchange as additional
consideration for such property  additions or (b) less the amount of any cash or
the fair value of any other  consideration,  which  shall also be stated in such
engineer's  certificate or independent engineer's  certificate,  as the case may
be,  received or to be received by the Company in connection  with such exchange
in addition to such property additions.

     Any prior lien bonds deposited with the Trustee  pursuant to the provisions
of this  Section  shall be held by the  Trustee  subject  to the  provisions  of
Article XI hereof and any moneys and/or purchase money obligations  and/or other
property and/or the proceeds of any thereof and/or substitutes therefor received
by the Trustee  under this Section  shall be held as part of the  mortgaged  and
pledged property and such moneys and/or purchase money obligations shall be paid
over, with drawn,  used or applied,  in the manner,  to the extent,  and for the
purposes and subject to the conditions provided in Section 68 hereof.

     B. Unless the  Company is in default in the payment of the  interest on any
bonds  then  outstanding  hereunder  or one or  more of the  completed  defaults
specified  in  Section 72 hereof  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,  the
Company  may obtain  the  release,  as a whole,  of the coal  mining  properties
located in Sullivan County, Indiana described in Part II of the granting clauses
hereof  and/or of the coal mining  properties  located in Pike  County,  Indiana
described  in Part  III of the  granting  clauses  hereof,  and/or  the land and
buildings located at West Tenth Street and White River Boulevard,  Indianapolis,
Indiana,  and the Trustee  shall  release the same from the lien hereof upon the
application of the Company and receipt by the Trustee of

          (i) a resolution  describing in  reasonable  detail the property to be
     released  and  requesting  such  release and  stating  that the Company has
     disposed of or exchanged, or agreed to dispose of or exchange the same;

          (ii) a  Treasurer's  certificate  as  described  in clause (2) of this
     Section; and

          (iii)  cash in the  amount of  $543,430.65  with  respect  to the coal
     mining  properties  located in  Sullivan  County,  Indiana,  or cash in the
     amount of $38,018.05 for the coal mining properties located in Pike County,
     Indiana,  or cash in the  amount of  $17,500  with  respect to the land and
     buildings   located  at  West  Tenth  Street  and  White  River  Boulevard,
     Indianapolis,  Indiana,  to be held by the Trustee as part of the mortgaged
     and pledged property and to be paid over,  withdrawn,  used or applied,  in
     the  manner,  to the  extent,  and  for the  purposes  and  subject  to the
     conditions provided in Section 68 hereof.

     SECTION 67. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the interest
on any bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed defaults
specified  in  Section 72 hereof  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,  the
Trustee shall  whenever from time to time requested by the Company (such request
to be evidenced by a resolution)  and without  requiring  compliance with any of
the  provisions  of Section 66 hereof,  release from the lien hereof real estate
unimproved  for use in the  conduct  of the  business  of the  Company,  and the
retention  of which is, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company,
no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company,  provided the
aggregate  value of such real estate so released  without such compliance in any
period of twelve (12)  consecutive  calendar  months shall not exceed the sum of
Fifty  thousand  dollars  ($50,000).  Prior to the granting of any such release,
there  shall be  delivered  to the  Trustee  an  engineer's  certificate  (or an
independent  engineer's  certificate if an  independent  engineer's  certificate
would be required under  subdivision (3) of Section 66, if the release was being
applied  for under  Section  66)  which  shall  state (a) the fair  value in the
opinion of the signers of the property to be released, (b) what portion, if any,
of the property to be released is funded property,  (c) that the release thereof
will not impair  the  security  under this  Indenture  in  contravention  of the
provisions  hereof, and (d) such other facts required to be known by the Trustee
as a  condition  precedent  to  action by it under  this  Section.  The  Company
covenants that it will deposit with the Trustee,  to be dealt with in the manner
provided in Section 68 hereof,  the  consideration,  if any, received by it upon
the sale or other disposition of any such real estate so released (to the extent
that the same  shall not have been paid or  delivered  to the  trustee  or other
holder  of  a  mortgage  or  other  instrument  constituting  a  prior  lien  or
constituting a lien prior to the lien of this  Indenture in accordance  with the
provisions thereof and a Treasurer's  certificate to that effect shall have been
furnished to the Trustee).

     SECTION 68. (I) Any money received in  consideration  of any release by the
Trustee under this Article XIII,  including  payment on account of the principal
of any obligations secured by purchase money mortgage so received, shall be paid
to and held by the Trustee; and, unless the Company is in default in the payment
of the  interest on any bonds then  outstanding  hereunder or one or more of the
completed  defaults  specified in Section 72 hereof  shall have  occurred and be
continuing, such money and any other money which by the provisions hereof are to
be applied as in this Section provide4 (subject to the provisions of paragraph B
of Section 69 hereof),

          (1) may be  withdrawn  from time to time by the  Company  in an amount
     equal to one hundred and forty-two and six-sevenths  per centum  (142-6/7%)
     of the  principal  amount  of  each  bond  or  fraction  of a  bond  to the
     authentication  and delivery of which the Company  shall be entitled  under
     any of the  provisions  of this  Indenture  (other than those  contained in
     Section 32 hereof and except that against bonds authenticable under Section
     31 hereof, money may be withdrawn under this subdivision in an amount equal
     only to one  hundred  per  centum  (100%) of the  principal  amount of such
     bonds) by virtue  of  compliance  with all  applicable  provisions  of this
     Indenture (except any earnings  requirements or net earnings  certificates)
     relating  to such  authentication  and  delivery  but  which  have not been
     authenticated and delivered;  provided,  however, that any request for such
     withdrawal of money shall, to the extent,  and to the extent only, that the
     money to be so withdrawn is funded cash, operate as a waiver by the Company
     of the  right to the  authentication  and  delivery  of each  such  bond or
     fraction thereof on the basis of which right such funded cash is withdrawn;
     and to such  extent no such bond or  fraction  thereof  may  thereafter  be
     authenticated  and delivered  hereunder  and, to such extent,  any property
     additions  which  were the basis of such  right to the  authentication  and
     delivery of bonds so waived shall have the status of funded property; or






  





  











  










          (2) may,  upon the request of the  Company,  evidenced by a resolution
     delivered to the Trustee,  be used by the Trustee for the purchase of bonds
     issued hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 62 hereof; or

          (3) may,  upon the request of the Company,  evidenced by a resolution
     delivered to the Trustee,  be applied by the Trustee to the  redemption  of
     any  bonds  issued  hereunder  as  are by  their  terms  redeemable  before
     maturity,  of  such  series  as may be  designated  by  the  Company,  such
     redemption to be in the manner and as provided in Article XII hereof.

     Such moneys shall, from time to time, be paid out or used or applied by the
Trustee,  as  aforesaid,  upon  the  request  of  the  Company  evidenced  by  a
resolution, and upon receipt by the Trustee of a Treasurer's certificate stating
that the Company is not in default in the  payment of the  interest on any bonds
then outstanding  hereunder and that none of the completed defaults specified in
Section 72 hereof has occurred and is continuing. In case the withdrawal of cash
is, in whole or in part, based upon the right to the authentication and delivery
of bonds (as  permitted  under  subdivision  (1) of this  Section)  the Company,
except as otherwise in this Section  provided,  shall comply with all applicable
provisions  of this  Indenture  relating to such  authentication  and  delivery;
provided, however, that in no such case shall the Company be required to deliver
to the Trustee any  resolution or document such as is described in  subdivisions
(1),  (2), (6) and (10) of Section 30 hereof or such parts of the opinion as are
described in clause (e) of  subdivision  (7) of said Section 30 or such parts of
the opinion  described in subdivision (7) of said Section 30 as relate solely to
the  authorization  of the  issuance  of bonds of the  Company  by  governmental
authorities  or by the Company or to the  supplemental  indenture  described  in
subdivision (10) of Section 30, or to comply with any earnings  requirements and
provided  further,  that if the cash to be  withdrawn is not funded cash (i) the
Company  shall not be  required  to comply  with the  provisions  of  Section 28
hereof,  and (ii) that portion of the opinion of counsel  required by clause (d)
of subdivision (7) of said Section 30 may state that the property additions made
the basis of the application for the withdrawal are subject to prior liens which
secure  prior lien  bonds  which  have not  ceased to be  outstanding  under the
provisions  of  Section  6  hereof;  and  provided  further,  that  if any  such
application for withdrawal of cash on the basis of property  additions shall not
operate  as a waiver  by the  Company  of the  right to the  authentication  and
delivery  of bonds on the  basis of such  property  additions,  then none of the
computations set forth in subdivision (H) of Section 4 hereof need be made.

     (II) Any such money  which shall not have been  withdrawn,  used or applied
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within three (3) years from
the date of  receipt  thereof  by the  Trustee,  shall be used or applied by the
Trustee  (unless  the  Company is in default in the  payment of  interest on any
bonds  then  outstanding  hereunder  or one or  more of the  completed  defaults
specified  in  Section 72 hereof  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing),  as
promptly as the Trustee shall deem  reasonable or desirable,  to the purchase or
redemption  of bonds  in the  manner  provided  in  subdivisions  (2) and (3) of
Section 68 hereof,  except that (a) the Trustee,  in its sole discretion,  shall
determine  whether  and at what  time or  times  bonds  shall  be  purchased  or
redeemed,  (b) the request by the Company  referred to in said  subdivisions (2)
and (3) shall not be  required,  and (c) if more than one series of bonds issued
hereunder shall at the time be outstanding, the Trustee, in its sole discretion,
shall  determine  the  amount  of such cash  which  shall be so  applied  to the
purchase or  redemption  of the bonds of each such  series.  The Company  hereby
authorizes  the Trustee on its behalf to give notice of  intention to redeem any
bonds which are to be  redeemed  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  in the
manner provided by Section 59 hereof.

     Any purchase money mortgage received or to be received by the Trustee under
any of the provisions of this Indenture in  consideration  of the release of any
property by the Trustee  and/or the  obligations  secured by such purchase money
mortgage,  may be  released  upon  payment by the  Company to the Trustee of the
principal of such purchase money  mortgage or any unpaid portion  thereof and/or
of the obligations thereby secured. The Trustee shall be entitled to collect the
principal of and interest on any such  purchase  money  mortgage,  and/or of the
obligations  thereby secured,  as and when the same shall become payable and the
Trustee may take any action  which in its judgment may be desirable or necessary
to avail of the security of such purchase money mortgage.  Unless the Company is
in default in the payment of the  interest on any of the bonds then  outstanding
hereunder  or one or more of the  completed  defaults  specified  in  Section 72
hereof shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,  the  interest  received by the
Trustee  on any such  purchase  money  mortgage  or on the  obligations  thereby
secured shall be paid over to the Company.

     Any  property  acquired  by the  Company to take the place of any  property
released under any  provisions of this Article XIII shall  forthwith and without
further  conveyance  become  subject  to the  lien  of and be  covered  by  this
Indenture  as a part of the  mortgaged  and  pledged  property;  but the Company
shall,  if requested by the  Trustee,  convey the same,  or cause the same to be
conveyed,  to the Trustee as may be so requested by  appropriate  instruments of
conveyance upon the trusts and for the purposes of this Indenture.

     Any bonds issued under this Indenture  deposited with the Trustee  pursuant
to the provisions of this Section shall forthwith be canceled by the Trustee and
at the  request of the  Company  the  Trustee may cremate the same and deliver a
certificate of such cremation to the Company, and any prior lien bonds deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be held by the
Trustee subject to the provisions of Article XI hereof.

     SECTION 69. A. Should any of the mortgaged and pledged property be taken by
exercise  of the power of  eminent  domain or should  any  governmental  body or
agency,  at any  time,  exercise  any  right  which it may have to  purchase  or
designate a purchaser of any part of the  mortgaged  and pledged  property,  the
Trustee may release the  property so taken or  purchased,  upon being  furnished
with an opinion of counsel to the effect  that such  property  has been taken by
exercise of the power of eminent domain, or purchased in the exercise of a right
which a  governmental  body or agent had to purchase or designate a purchaser of
the same. The proceeds of all property so taken or purchased  shall be paid over
to the Trustee (unless the same shall have been paid or delivered to the trustee
or other  holder of a mortgage or other lien  constituting  a prior lien or lien
prior  hereto  in  accordance  with the  provisions  thereof  and a  Treasurer's
certificate  to that effect shall have been  furnished to the Trustee),  and, if
paid over to the Trustee hereunder, (a) shall be applied in the manner set forth
in paragraph B of this Section if the  provisions  of said  paragraph B shall be
applicable,  or  (b)  if  the  provisions  of  said  paragraph  B  shall  not be
applicable, shall thereafter be withdrawn, used or applied in the manner, to the
extent and for the purposes and subject to the conditions provided in Section 68
hereof.

     B.  Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Sections 66 or 68 hereof or
in paragraph A of this Section relating to the withdrawal, use or application of
moneys or other  proceeds paid over to the Trustee,  which  provisions  shall be
inapplicable in the events hereinafter  stated,  should all or substantially all
of the mortgaged and pledged property, or all or substantially all such property
used in the business of generating, manufacturing,  transporting,  transmitting,
distributing  or  supplying  electricity,  be taken by  exercise of the power of
eminent  domain,  or should any  governmental  body or agency exercise any right
which it may have to purchase or  designate a purchaser  of the same,  or should
such property be sold to any  governmental  body or agency,  then, and in any of
such events,  the Company shall have the right to redeem and shall promptly take
all steps as shall be  necessary  to redeem  all bonds  outstanding  under  this
Indenture at the principal  amounts thereof and accrued  interest to the date of
redemption  together  with the  premiums  specified  in Section  19 hereof  with
respect to the bonds of the 1970 Series, and with such premiums,  if any, as may
be provided,  in the  supplemental  indenture  establishing  any other series of
bonds  secured  hereby,  for  the  redemption  of  such  bonds  pursuant  to the
provisions of this paragraph B. The Company covenants that in any of such events
it will deposit with the Trustee such an amount in cash,  if any, as, when added
to any moneys  then held by the Trustee  hereunder,  shall be required to redeem
all bonds outstanding under this Indenture, and the Trustee shall forthwith take
such steps as may be necessary to effect such redemption and shall apply and use
for such  redemption  the moneys so deposited with or held by it. If the Company
fails to take any steps necessary to effect the prompt redemption of said bonds,
the Trustee shall have the power in the name of the Company,  or  otherwise,  to
take such steps.  If in any of the events  described  in this  paragraph B there
shall be deposited  with the Trustee any moneys or other  proceeds which are not
required for the redemption of the bonds outstanding hereunder,  such cash shall
(subject  to  the  Trustee's   lien  thereon  for  its  charges,   expenses  and
disbursements) be forthwith paid over by the Trustee to the Company.

     SECTION 70. In case the mortgaged  property shall be in the possession of a
receiver or trustee,  lawfully appointed, the powers hereinbefore conferred upon
the Company with respect to the sale or other  disposition  of the mortgaged and
pledged  property may be  exercised,  with the approval of the Trustee,  by such
receiver  or  trustee,  notwithstanding  the  Company  may be in default and any
request,  certificate or appointment  made or signed by such receiver or trustee
for such  purposes  shall be as effective as if made by the Company or its Board
of Directors or any of its officers or appointees in the manner herein provided;
and if the Trustee shall be in possession of the mortgaged and pledged  property
under any provision of this Indenture,  then such powers may be exercised by the
Trustee  in its  discretion  notwithstanding  the  Company  may  be in  default.
Notwithstanding  the  existence  of a default in the  payment of interest on any
bonds  then  outstanding  hereunder  or the  existence  of a  completed  default
specified in Section 72 hereof, the Trustee may release from the lien hereof any
part of the mortgaged and pledged  property upon  compliance with the conditions
specified in this Article in respect  thereof,  if the Trustee in its discretion
shall deem such release for the best interests of the bondholders.






  





  











  










     SECTION 71. No purchaser in good faith of property  purporting to have been
released  hereunder  shall be bound to ascertain the authority of the Trustee to
execute the release,  or to inquire as to any facts  required by the  provisions
hereof for the exercise of this authority; nor shall any purchaser or grantee of
any property or rights permitted by this Article to be sold, granted,  exchanged
or otherwise  disposed of, be under  obligation to ascertain or inquire into the
authority  of the  Company  to make  any such  sale,  grant,  exchange  or other
disposition.

                                  ARTICLE XIV.

                REMEDIES OF TRUSTEE AND BONDHOLDERS UPON DEFAULT.

     SECTION 72. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following  events
(herein called "completed defaults"), viz.:

          (a) Default in the payment of the principal of any bond hereby secured
     when the same shall have  become due and  payable,  whether at  maturity as
     therein expressed or by declaration, or otherwise; or

          (b)  Default  continued  for  sixty  (60) days in the  payment  of any
     interest upon any bond hereby secured; or

          (c) Default in the payment of any interest upon or principal  (whether
     at maturity as therein  expressed or by  declaration,  or otherwise) of any
     outstanding  prior lien bonds continued beyond the period of grace, if any,
     specified in the prior lien securing the same if the Company shall not have
     complied  with the  provisions of Section 49 hereof to the extent that such
     provisions may be applicable thereto; or

          (d) By decree of a court of competent  jurisdiction  the Company shall
     be  adjudicated a bankrupt,  or an order shall be made approving a petition
     filed  by  any   creditors   or   stockholders   of  the  Company   seeking
     reorganization or readjustment of the Company under the federal  bankruptcy
     laws or other law or statute  of the United  States of America or any State
     thereof, or, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction,  a trustee or a
     receiver or receivers shall be appointed of all or substantially all of the
     property  of the  Company  or of all or any  part  of the  property  of the
     Company subject to the lieu of this Indenture, and any such decree or order
     shall have  continued  unstayed on appeal or otherwise  and in effect for a
     period of sixty (60) days; or

          (e) The Company  shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
     generally as they mature or shall file a petition in  voluntary  bankruptcy
     or shall make any general  assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall
     consent to the  appointment  of a receiver or trustee of all or any part of
     its  property,  or shall  file in any court of  competent  jurisdiction,  a
     petition or answer seeking reorganization or readjustment under the federal
     bankruptcy  laws or other law or statute of the United States of America or
     any State  thereof,  or shall  file a  petition  to take  advantage  of any
     debtors' act; or






  





  











  










          (f) Default  continued for sixty (60) days after notice to the Company
     from the Trustee in the  performance  of any other  covenant,  agreement or
     condition  contained herein or in any indenture  supplemental  hereto or in
     any bond secured hereby;

the  Trustee  may,  and upon  written  request of the  holders of a majority  in
principal  amount of the bonds then outstanding  hereunder,  shall, by notice in
writing  delivered  to the  Company,  declare the  principal of all bonds hereby
secured then  outstanding and the interest  accrued thereon  immediately due and
payable,  and  such  principal  and  interest  shall  thereupon  become  and  be
immediately due and payable; subject, however, to the right of the holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of a1l outstanding bonds, by written notice
to the  Company  and to the  Trustee to annul such  declaration  and destroy its
effect  at any time  before  any sale  hereunder,  if  before  any such sale all
agreements  with  respect to which  default  shall have been made shall be fully
performed or made good,  and all arrears of interest upon all bonds  outstanding
hereunder and the reasonable expenses and charges of the Trustee, its agents and
attorneys,  and all other indebtedness  secured hereby,  except the principal of
any bonds not then due by their terms and  interest  accrued on such bonds since
the last interest  payment date,  shall be paid, or the amount  thereof shall be
paid to the Trustee for the benefit of those entitled thereto.

     SECTION 73. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence thereof,
give to the bondholders,  in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection
(c) of Section 53 hereof,  notice of all defaults  known to the Trustee,  unless
such  defaults  shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term
"defaults"  for the  purposes of this  Section  being  hereby  defined to be the
events  specified in subdivisions  (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of Section 72
hereof not including any periods of grace provided for in said  subdivisions and
irrespective  of whether the  Trustee  has given the notice  referred to in said
subdivision  (f));  and  provided  that,  except in the case of  default  in the
payment of the  principal of or interest on any of the bonds,  or in the payment
of any sinking or purchase  fund  instalment,  the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,  the executive
committee,  or a trust committee of directors and/or responsible officers of the
Trustee in good faith  determine  that the  withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the bondholders.

     SECTION 74. Upon the  occurrence  of one or more  completed  defaults,  the
Company,  upon demand of the Trustee,  shall forthwith  surrender to the Trustee
the  actual  possession  of,  and it shall be lawful  for the  Trustee,  by such
officer or agent as it may appoint,  to take possession of all the mortgaged and
pledged  property (with the books,  papers and accounts of the Company),  and to
hold,  operate  and manage the same,  and from time to time to make all  needful
repairs and such extensions,  additions and improvements as to the Trustee shall
seem wise; and to receive the tolls, rents, revenues,  issues, earnings, income,
products  and profits  thereof,  and out of the same to pay all proper costs and
expenses  of so taking,  holding and  managing  the same,  including  reasonable
compensation  to the  Trustee,  its agents and  counsel,  and any charges of the
Trustee hereunder,  and any taxes and assessments and other charges prior to the
lien of this  Indenture  which  the  Trustee  may  deem it wise to pay,  and all
expenses of such repairs, extensions,  additions and improvements,  and to apply
the  remainder  of the  moneys  so  received  by  the  Trustee,  subject  to the
provisions of Section 83 hereof with respect to extended, transferred or pledged
coupons or claims for  interest,  first to the  payment  of the  instalments  of
interest which are due and unpaid, in the order of their maturity,  and next, if
the  principal of any of said bonds is due, to the payment of the  principal and
accrued  interest thereon at the same rate as is expressed in the bonds pro rata
without any preference or priority whatever, except as' aforesaid.  Whenever all
that is due upon such bonds and  instalments  of  interest  and under any of the
terms of this  Indenture  shall have been paid and all defaults  made good,  the
Trustee shall  surrender  possession to the Company,  its successors or assigns;
the same right of entry, however, to exist upon any subsequent default.

     SECTION 75. Upon the occurrence of one or more completed  defaults it shall
be lawful for the Trustee,  by such officer or agent as it may appoint,  with or
without entry, to sell all the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety, or
in such  parcels as the holders of a majority in  principal  amount of the bonds
outstanding  hereunder  shall in  writing  request,  or in the  absence  of such
request,  as the Trustee may determine,  at public  auction,  at some convenient
place in Indianapolis, Indiana, or such other place or places as may be required
by law,  having first given notice of such sale by  publication  in at least one
daily newspaper of general circulation,  published in Indianapolis,  Indiana (if
there be such a daily  newspaper),  at least once in each of four (4) successive
calendar  weeks (on any secular day of each such calendar  week) next  preceding
such sale, and by like publication in at least one daily newspaper published and
of general  circulation  in the Borough of Manhattan,  The City of New York, and
any other  notice which may be required by law, and from time to time to adjourn
such sale in its discretion by announcement at the time and place fixed for such
sale  without  further  notice,  and upon such sale to make and  deliver  to the
purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed or deeds for the same,  which
sale shall be a perpetual  bar,  both at law and in equity,  against the Company
and all persons,  firms and corporations  lawfully claiming or who may claim by,
through or under it.

     SECTION 76. In case of the breach of any of the  covenants or conditions of
this Indenture,  the Trustee shall have the right and power to take  appropriate
judicial  proceedings  for the  enforcement  of its rights and the rights of the
bondholders hereunder. In case of a completed default hereunder, the Trustee may
either  after  entry,  or without  entry,  proceed by suit or suits at law or in
equity  to  enforce  payment  of the bonds  then  outstanding  hereunder  and to
foreclose  this  Indenture and to sell the mortgaged and pledged  property under
the  judgment or decree of a court of  competent  jurisdiction;  and it shall be
obligatory upon the Trustee to take action either by such  proceedings or by the
exercise of its powers with respect to entry or sale upon being  requested so to
do by  the  holders  of a  majority  in  principal  amount  of  the  bonds  then
outstanding hereunder and upon being indemnified, except to the extent that such
indemnity is precluded under the provisions of Sections 97 and 98.

     No remedy by the terms of this Indenture  conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such
remedy  shall be  cumulative  and shall be in addition to any other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.






  





  











  










     No delay or  omission  to  exercise  any right or power  accruing  upon any
default  shall  impair  any such  right or power or shall be  construed  to be a
waiver of any such  default or  acquiescence  therein;  and every such right and
power  may be  exercised  from  time  to  time  and as  often  as may be  deemed
expedient.

     No  waiver of any  default  hereunder,  whether  by the  Trustee  or by the
bondholders,  shall  extend to or shall affect any  subsequent  default or shall
impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.

     In all  proceedings  for  the  foreclosure  of this  Indenture,  reasonable
compensation for the services of the Trustee in case it shall act, and all costs
and expenses incurred without negligence or bad faith, including all expenses of
preparing for trial and trial,  reasonable attorneys' fees,  stenographer's fees
or  reporter's  fees or charges  for taking or  transcribing  any  statement  of
witnesses or testimony or evidence given or heard therein, expenses of procuring
testimony  and  evidence,   the  cost  of  procuring   abstracts  of  title  and
continuations thereof,  opinion of title or a title guarantee policy or policies
and documentary  evidence, if any, and printing bills incurred by the Trustee in
any proceeding,  or in the preparation therefor, shall become so much additional
indebtedness secured by this Indenture,  prior and superior to the bonds secured
hereby  and  until  the same are  paid,  such  legal  proceedings  shall  not be
dismissed.

     SECTION 77. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the
holders  of a  majority  in  principal  amount  of the  bonds  then  outstanding
hereunder  shall  have the  right,  at any time,  by an  instrument  in  writing
executed and delivered to the Trustee,  to direct the time,  method and place of
conducting all proceedings to be taken for any sale of the mortgaged and pledged
property, or for the foreclosure of this Indenture,  or for the appointment of a
receiver or any other  proceedings  hereunder  for any remedy  available  to the
Trustee,  or for exercising any trust or power  conferred upon the Trustee under
this  Indenture;  provided that such  direction  shall not be otherwise  than in
accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture.

     SECTION 78. In case of a completed default  hereunder,  and upon the filing
of a bill in equity,  or other  commencement of judicial  proceedings to enforce
the rights of the  Trustee  and of the  bondholders  under this  Indenture,  the
Trustee  shall be  entitled,  as a matter  of  right,  to the  appointment  of a
receiver or receivers of the mortgaged and pledged  property,  and of the tolls,
rents, revenues, issues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending
and/or  during  such  proceedings,  with such  powers as the court  making  such
appointment shall confer.

     SECTION 79. Upon any sale being made either  under the power of sale hereby
given  or  under  judgment  or  decree  in  any  judicial  proceedings  for  the
foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Indenture, the principal of
all bonds then secured  hereby,  if not previously due, shall at once become and
be immediately due and payable.

     SECTION 80. Upon any sale made either  under the power of sale hereby given
or under  judgment or decree in any  judicial  proceedings  for  foreclosure  or
otherwise for the enforcement of this  Indenture,  any bondholder or bondholders
may bid for and purchase the mortgaged and pledged  property or any part thereof
and upon  compliance  with the terms of sale may hold,  retain and  possess  and
dispose of such property in his, their or its own absolute right without further
accountability,  and any purchasers at any such sale may, in paying the purchase
money,  turn in any of the bonds and coupons or claims for interest  outstanding
hereunder in lieu of cash to the amount which shall,  upon  distribution  of the
net  proceeds  of such  sale,  be  payable  thereon,  subject,  however,  to the
provisions in respect to extended,  pledged and  transferred  coupons and claims
for interest contained in Section 83 hereof. Said bonds and coupons, in case the
amounts so payable  thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon,  shall be
returned  to the  holders  thereof  after  being  appropriately  stamped to show
partial payment.

     SECTION 81. Upon any sale made either  under the power of sale hereby given
or under judgment or decree in any judicial  proceedings  for the foreclosure or
otherwise for the enforcement of this  Indenture,  the receipt of the Trustee or
of the officer making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser
or purchasers at any sale for his or their  purchase money and such purchaser or
purchasers,  his or their assigns or personal representatives,  shall not, after
paying such purchase  money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee or of such
officer  therefor,  be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money,
or be in any wise  answerable for any loss,  misapplication  or  non-application
thereof.

     SECTION  82. Any sale made either  under the power of sale hereby  given or
under  judgment  or  decree  in any  judicial  proceedings  for  foreclosure  or
otherwise for the  enforcement  of this  Indenture,  shall operate to divest all
right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity,
of the Company, of, in and to the property so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar
both at law and in equity  against the Company,  its  successors and assigns and
against any and all persons, firms or corporations claiming or who may claim the
property  sold or any part  thereof,  from,  through or under the  Company,  its
successors or assigns.

     SECTION 83. The  proceeds  of any sale made either  under the power of sale
hereby given,  or under judgment or decree in any judicial  proceedings  for the
foreclosure or otherwise for the  enforcement of this  Indenture,  together with
any other  amounts of cash which may then be held by the  Trustee as part of the
mortgaged and pledged property, shall be applied, as follows:

          First--To the payment of all taxes, assessments,  governmental charges
     or liens prior to the lien of this Indenture, except those subject to which
     such sale shall have been made,  and of all the costs and  expenses of such
     foreclosure and sale, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its
     agents  and  attorneys,  and of  all  other  sums  payable  to the  Trustee
     hereunder as  compensation  for all other services  and/or by reason of any
     expenses or  liabilities  incurred or advances made in connection  with the
     management or administration of the trusts hereby created;

          Second--To  the payment in full of the amounts then due and unpaid for
     principal and interest upon the bonds then secured hereby; and in case such
     proceeds  shall  be  insufficient  to pay in full  the  amounts  so due and
     unpaid,  then to the payment thereof ratably,  with interest on the overdue
     principal  at the rates  expressed  in the  bonds,  without  preference  or
     priority of principal over interest,  or of interest over principal,  or of
     any instalment of interest over any other instalment of interest; provided,
     however,  that if the time  for the  payment  of any  coupon  or claim  for
     interest  upon any of the bonds  secured  hereby  shall have been  extended
     (except  pursuant to action  taken under  Article XX hereof) by or with the
     consent of the Company,  or if any thereof at or after  maturity shall have
     been  transferred  or pledged  separate from the bond to which they relate,
     such  coupons  or claims  for  interest  shall not be  entitled  in case of
     default hereunder to the benefit or security of this Indenture except after
     the prior  payment in full of the  principal of all bonds issued  hereunder
     and then secured  hereby and of all coupons and claims for interest on such
     bonds the payment of which has not been so extended,  or not so transferred
     or pledged; but the foregoing proviso shall not be applicable to any coupon
     or claim for  interest,  the time for the payment of. which shall have been
     extended,  if such  extension be pursuant to a plan proposed by the Company
     to all  holders  of any one or more  series of bonds then  outstanding  and
     accepted  by or  binding  upon the  holder  of such  coupon  or  claim  for
     interest;

          Third--Any surplus thereof remaining to the Company, its successors or
     assigns or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

     SECTION  84. In case of a default on its part,  as  aforesaid,  neither the
Company nor any one claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim, or
seek to  take  advantage  of any  appraisement,  valuation  stay,  extension  or
redemption  laws now or  hereafter  in force in any  locality  where  any of the
mortgaged  and pledged  property may be situated,  in order to prevent or hinder
the  enforcement or foreclosure of this  Indenture,  or the absolute sale of the
mortgaged  and  pledged  property,  or  the  final  and  absolute  putting  into
possession thereof,  immediately after such sale, of the purchaser or purchasers
thereat,  but the Company, for itself and all who may claim through or under it,
hereby  waives  the  benefit  of all such laws and  hereby  waives  all right of
appraisement  and  redemption to which it may be entitled  under the laws of the
State of Indiana or of any other  state where any of the  mortgaged  and pledged
property  may be  situated.  And the  Company,  for itself and all who may claim
through or under it,  waives any and all right to have the estates  comprised in
the security intended to be created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of the
lien hereof,  and agrees that any court having  jurisdiction  to foreclose  such
lien may sell the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety.

     SECTION  85. The  Company  covenants  that if default  shall be made in the
payment of the principal of any bonds hereby  secured when the same shall become
payable, whether by the maturity of said bonds or otherwise, then upon demand of
the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders
of the bonds and coupons then secured hereby the whole amount due and payable on
all such bonds and coupons for principal  and  interest,  with interest upon the
overdue principal at the same rate borne by the bonds which are overdue;  and in
case the Company  shall fail to pay the same  forthwith  upon such  demand,  the
Trustee in its own name and as trustee of an express  trust shall be entitled to
sue for and to recover judgment for the whole amount so due and unpaid.

     The Trustee,  to the extent  permitted by law, shall be entitled to sue and
recover  judgment  either  before  or  after  or  during  the  pendency  of  any
proceedings for the enforcement of the lien of this Indenture upon the mortgaged
and pledged property,  and in case of a sale of any of the mortgaged and pledged
property  and of the  application  of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the
debt  hereby  secured,  the Trustee in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust shall be entitled  to enforce  payment of and to receive all amounts  then
remaining  due and  unpaid  upon  any  and all of the  bonds  and  coupons  then
outstanding  hereunder,  for the benefit of the holders thereof, and the Trustee
shall be entitled  to recover  judgment  for any  portion of the debt  remaining
unpaid,  with  interest.  No recovery of any such judgment by the Trustee and no
levy of any  execution  upon any such  judgment  upon any of the  mortgaged  and
pledged property or upon any other property shall in any manner or to any extent
affect the lien of this Indenture upon the mortgaged and pledged property or any
part thereof, or any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee hereunder, or any
lien,  rights,  powers or remedies  of the  holders of the said bonds,  but such
lien,  rights,  powers and remedies of the Trustee and of the bondholders  shall
continue unimpaired as before.

     Any moneys thus  collected  or received by the Trustee  under this  Section
shall be applied by it first, to the payment of its expenses,  disbursements and
compensation and the expenses,  disbursements and compensation of its agents and
attorneys,  and, second,  toward payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon
such  bonds  and  coupons  in  respect  of which  such  moneys  shall  have been
collected,  ratably and without  preference  or priority of any kind (subject to
the  provisions  of Section 83 hereof with respect to extended,  transferred  or
pledged  coupons  and claims for  interest)  according  to the  amounts  due and
payable  upon such  bonds and  coupons,  respectively,  at the date fixed by the
Trustee for the  distribution of such moneys,  upon  presentation of the several
bonds and coupons and upon stamping such payment thereon, if partially paid, and
upon surrender thereof, if fully paid.

     In case  of any  reorganization,  receivership,  insolvency  or  bankruptcy
proceedings  affecting  the Company or its property the Trustee shall have power
to intervene and take any action  therein that may be permitted by the Court and
shall be  entitled  to file and  prove a claim  for the  entire  amount  due and
payable by the Company under this  Indenture at the date of the  institution  of
such proceedings and for any additional  amount which may become due and payable
by the Company hereunder after such date, without regard to or deduction for any
amount which may have been or which may  thereafter  be  received,  collected or
realized by the Trustee from or out of the mortgaged and pledged property or any
part thereof or from or out of the proceeds thereof or any part thereof.

     The Trustee is hereby irrevocably  appointed (and the successive respective
holders of bonds and coupons issued  hereunder,  by taking and holding the same,
shall be  conclusively  deemed to have so  appointed  the  Trustee) the true and
lawful  attorney-in-fact  of the  respective  holders  of the bonds and  coupons
issued  hereunder,  with authority to make or file,  irrespective of whether the
bonds or any of them are in default as to payment of principal  or interest,  in
the respective  names of the holders of the bonds or coupons or in behalf of all
holders  of the bonds or  coupons as a class,  any proof of debt,  amendment  to
proof of debt,  petition  or other  document,  and to do and perform any and all
acts and  things  for and in behalf of the  respective  holders  of the bonds or
coupons as a class,  as may be  necessary  or  advisable,  in the opinion of the
Trustee,  in order to have the respective  claims of the holders of the bonds or
coupons  against the  Company  allowed in any equity  receivership,  insolvency,
liquidation,  bankruptcy,  reorganization or other similar  proceedings to which
the  Company  shall be a party and to  receive  payment of or on account of such
claims; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy is hereby authorized
by each of the  bondholders  to make such  payments to the  Trustee,  and in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments  directly to
the  bondholders,  to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for  compensation and
expenses,  including  counsel  fees,  incurred  by it up to  the  date  of  such
distribution.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall be construed  to authorize  the
Trustee  to  accept  any  composition  or plan of  reorganization  on  behalf of
bondholders or to surrender any rights of bondholders.

     SECTION  86.  All  rights of action  (including  the right to file proof of
claim)  under  this  Indenture  or under  any of the  bonds or  coupons,  may be
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the bonds or coupons or
the production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative thereto and any
such suit or  proceeding  instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name
as Trustee and any  recovery of judgment  shall be for the equal  benefit of the
holders of the  outstanding  bonds and  coupons,  subject to the  provisions  of
Section 83 hereof with respect to extended,  transferred or pledged  coupons and
claims for interest.

     SECTION  87.  No  holders  of any bond or  coupon  shall  have any right to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure
of  this  Indenture  or  for  the  execution  of any  trust  hereof  or for  the
appointment  of a receiver  or any other  remedy  hereunder,  unless such holder
shall  have  previously  given to the  Trustee  written  notice  of a  completed
default,  nor  unless  also the  holders  of  twenty-five  per  centum  (25%) in
principal amount of the bonds then outstanding hereunder shall have made written
request to the Trustee and shall have offered it reasonable  opportunity  either
to proceed to exercise  the powers  hereinbefore  granted or to  institute  such
action,  suit or  proceeding  in its own name,  nor unless  also they shall have
offered to the  Trustee  adequate  security  and  indemnity  against  the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby;  it being understood
and intended  that no one or more holders of the bonds or coupons shall have any
right in any manner whatsoever to affect,  disturb or prejudice the lien of this
Indenture by his or their action or to enforce any right hereunder except in the
manner herein  provided,  and that all  proceedings at law or in equity shall be
instituted,  had and maintained in the manner herein  provided and for the equal
benefit of all holders of outstanding bonds and coupons.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 88 or any other provision of this
Indenture or any indenture  supplemental hereto, nothing in this Indenture or in
any such  supplemental  indenture  contained shall affect or impair the right of
any bondholder,  which is absolute and unconditional,  to enforce the payment of
the principal of and interest on his bonds at and after the maturity  thereof as
therein  expressed or the obligation of the Company,  which is also absolute and
unconditional,  to pay the principal of and interest on each of the bonds issued
hereunder to the respective  holders thereof at the time and place in said bonds
and the appurtenant coupons expressed.

     SECTION 88. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,  all the
parties  hereto  agree,  and each holder or owner of any bond by his  acceptance
thereof after the date of the  execution  hereof shall be deemed to have agreed,
that any Court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee,  the filing by any party  litigant
in such suit of an under  taking to pay the  costs of such  suit,  and that such
Court  may in its  discretion  assess  reasonable  costs,  including  reasonable
attorneys' fees,  against any party litigant in such suit,  having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee,  to any suit  instituted  by any  bondholder  or group of  bondholders,
holding in the aggregate  more than ten per centum (10%) in principal  amount of
the bonds  outstanding,  or to any suit  instituted  by any  bondholder  for the
enforcement  of the payment of the  principal of or interest on any bond,  on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such bond.

     SECTION 89. The Company may waive any period of grace  provided for in this
Article.

     In case the Trustee  shall have  proceeded  to enforce any right under this
Indenture by foreclosure,  entry or otherwise,  and such proceedings  shall have
been  discontinued  or abandoned for any reason,  or shall have been  determined
adversely  to the  Trustee,  then and in every  such  case the  Company  and the
Trustee shall be restored to their former  positions and rights  hereunder  with
respect to the  mortgaged  and pledged  property,  and all rights,  remedies and
powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

                                   ARTICLE XV.

            EVIDENCE OF RIGHTS OF BONDHOLDERS AND OWNERSHIP OF BONDS.

     SECTION  90.  Any  request,  declaration  or other  instrument,  which this
Indenture  may require or permit to be signed and  executed by the  bondholders,
may be in any number of concurrent  instruments of similar  tenor,  and shall be
signed or executed by such  bondholders  in person or by attorney  appointed  in
writing. Proof of the execution of any such request or other instrument, or of a
writing  appointing  any such  attorney,  or of the holding by any person of the
bonds or coupons appertaining thereto, may be made in the following manner:

          (a) The fact and date of the  execution  by any person of such request
     or other  instrument  or writing  may be proved by the  certificate  of any
     notary public, or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds
     to be recorded  in the state in which he  purports to act,  that the person
     signing such request or other instrument  acknowledged to him the execution
     thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such execution;






  





  











  










          (b) The amount of bonds  transferable  by delivery  held by any person
     executing such request or other instrument as a bondholder,  and the series
     and  serial  numbers  thereof,  held by such  person,  and the  date of his
     holding  the same,  may be proved by a  certificate  executed  by any trust
     company,  bank,  banker  or other  depositary  wherever  situated,  if such
     certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that
     at the  date  therein  mentioned  such  person  had on  deposit  with  such
     depositary,  the bonds  described  in such  certificate.  The  Trustee  may
     nevertheless  in its  discretion  require  further  proof in cases where it
     deems further proof  desirable.  The ownership of registered bonds shall be
     proved by the registry books.

     Any request, consent or vote of the owner of any bond shall bind all future
owners of the same in respect of anything done or suffered by the Company or the
Trustee in pursuance thereof.

     SECTION  91. The  Company  and the Trustee may deem and treat the bearer of
any temporary or coupon bond outstanding hereunder,  which shall not at the time
be registered as to principal as hereinbefore authorized,  and the bearer of any
coupon for interest on any such bond,  whether such bond shall be  registered or
not, as the absolute  owner of such bond or coupon,  as the case may be, for the
purpose of  receiving  payment  thereof or on account  thereof and for all other
purposes,  and neither  the  Company  nor the  Trustee  shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

     The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any
fully registered bond  outstanding  hereunder shall be registered upon the books
of the Company as herein authorized,  as the absolute owner of such bond for the
purpose of receiving  payment of or on account of the  principal of and interest
on such bond and for all other purposes,  and they may deem and treat the person
in whose name any coupon  bond shall be so  registered  as to  principal  as the
absolute owner thereof for the purpose of receiving  payment of or on account of
the principal  thereof and for all other purposes,  except to receive payment of
interest  represented by outstanding  coupons;  and all such payments so made to
any such  registered  holder or upon his order,  shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge  the liability  upon such bond to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid,  and neither the Company nor the Trustee  shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

     Neither the Company nor the Trustee  shall be bound to recognize any person
as the holder of a bond  outstanding  under this Indenture  unless and until his
bond is  submitted  for  inspection,  if  required,  except as may  otherwise be
provided by  regulations  made under  Section 120 hereof,  and his title thereto
satisfactorily established, if disputed.

     SECTION 92. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
contained in this Indenture or in any indenture  supplemental  hereto, or in any
bond or coupon hereby  secured,  or because of the creation of any  indebtedness
hereby secured,  shall be had against any  incorporator or any past,  present or
future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder,  officer or director of the
Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly
or through the Company or any  predecessor  or successor  corporation  under any
rule of law,  statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or
by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood  that this  Indenture,  any  indenture  supplemental  hereto  and the
obligations hereby and thereby secured,  are solely corporate  obligations,  and
that no personal  liability  whatever  shall  attach to, or be incurred by, such
incorporators,  subscribers  to the  capital  stock,  stockholders,  officers or
directors of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation,  or any
of  them,  as  such,  because  of  the  incurring  of  the  indebtedness  hereby
authorized,  or under  or by  reason  of any of the  obligations,  covenants  or
agreements  contained in this Indenture or in any indenture  supplemental hereto
or in any of the bonds or coupons hereby secured, or implied therefrom, and that
any and all such  personal  liability  of any name and  nature,  and any and all
rights and claims  against  every such  incorporator,  subscriber to the capital
stock, stockholder,  officer or director, as such, whether arising at common law
or in equity, or created by rule of law, statute, constitution or otherwise, are
expressly   released  and  waived  as  a  condition  of,  and  as  part  of  the
consideration  for, the  execution of this  Indenture and the issue of the bonds
and  interest  obligations  secured  hereby;  provided,  however,  that  nothing
contained in this Indenture or in the bonds is intended or shall be construed to
constitute a waiver of compliance  with any provision of the  Securities  Act of
1933, as amended, or of the rules and regulations thereunder.

                                  ARTICLE XVII.

                      EFFECT OF MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ETC.

     SECTION 93. Nothing in this Indenture  shall prevent any  consolidation  of
the  Company  with,  or merger  of the  Company  into,  any  corporation  having
corporate authority to carry on any of the businesses  mentioned in Section 4 of
this  Indenture,  or any conveyance,  transfer or lease,  subject to the lien of
this Indenture,  of all or substantially  all the mortgaged and pledged property
as an  entirety  to any  corporation  lawfully  entitled to acquire or lease and
operate the same; provided, how ever, and the Company covenants and agrees, that
such  consolidation,  merger,  conveyance,  transfer or lease shall be upon such
terms as fully to  preserve  and in no respect to impair the lien or security of
this Indenture, or any of the rights or powers of the Trustee or the bondholders
hereunder;  and provided,  further, that any :such lease shall be made expressly
subject to  immediate  termination  by the Company or by the Trustee at any time
during  the  continuance  of a  completed  default  hereunder,  and  also by the
purchaser of the property so leased at any sale thereof hereunder,  whether such
sale be made  under  the  power  of sale  hereby  conferred  or  under  judicial
proceedings;  and provided  further that, upon any such  consolidation,  merger,
conveyance or transfer,  or upon any such lease the term of which extends beyond
the date of maturity of any of the bonds  secured  hereby,  the due and punctual
payment of the principal and interest of all said bonds according to their tenor
and the due and punctual  performance  and  observance  of all the covenants and
conditions  of this  Indenture to be kept or  performed by the Company  shall be
expressly  assumed by an  indenture  with the Trustee  executed and caused to be
recorded  by the  corporation  formed by such  consolidation  or into which such
merger shall have been made, or acquiring all or substantially all the mortgaged
and pledged  property as an entirety,  as aforesaid,  or by the lessee under any
such lease the term of which  extends  beyond the date of maturity of any of the
bonds secured hereby.

     SECTION 94. In case the Company,  as permitted by Section 93 hereof,  shall
be consolidated  with or merged into any other  corporation,  or shall convey or
transfer,  subject to the lien of this Indenture,  all or substantially  all the
mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety,  the successor corporation formed
by such  consolidation,  or into which the Company  shall have been  merged,  or
which shall have received a conveyance or transfer as aforesaid--upon  executing
and causing to be recorded an indenture  with the Trustee,  satisfactory  to the
Trustee whereby such successor  corporation  shall assume and agree to pay, duly
and  punctually,  the  principal  and interest of the bonds issued  hereunder in
accordance with the provisions of said bonds and coupons and this Indenture, and
shall  agree to perform and fulfill all the  covenants  and  conditions  of this
Indenture  to be kept or  performed  by the  Company--  shall  succeed to and be
substituted  for the  Company,  with the  same  effect  as if it had been  named
herein, and shall have and may exercise under this Indenture the same powers and
rights as the  Company,  and  (without in anywise  limiting or  impairing by the
enumeration of the same the scope and intent of the foregoing general powers and
rights)  such  successor   corporation  thereupon  may  cause  to  be  executed,
authenticated  and  delivered,  either  in  its  own  name  or in  the  name  of
Indianapolis Power & Light Company,  as its name shall then exist, in respect of
property of the  character  defined in Section 4 hereof as  property  additions,
such bonds as could or might have been  executed,  issued and  delivered  by the
Company had it acquired such property of such  character by purchase on the date
of  such   consolidation,   merger,   conveyance   or  transfer   and  had  such
consolidation,  merger,  conveyance or transfer not occurred, and upon the order
of such  successor  corporation  in lieu of the Company,  and subject to all the
terms, conditions and restrictions in this Indenture prescribed,  concerning the
authentication and delivery of bonds, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
any bonds which shall have been previously  signed and delivered by the officers
of the  Company  to the  Trustee  for  authentication,  and  such  bonds  as the
successor  corporation  shall  thereafter,  in accordance with the provisions of
this  Indenture,  cause to be  executed  and  delivered  to the Trustee for such
purpose,  and such  successor  corporation  shall also have and may  exercise in
respect  of the  property  of such  character,  and  subject  to all the  terms,
conditions and  restrictions in this Indenture  prescribed  applicable  thereto,
whether as to  withdrawal of cash,  release of property or  otherwise,  the same
powers and rights which the Company might or could  exercise had it acquired the
property  of such  character  by  purchase  on the  date of such  consolidation,
merger, conveyance or transfer and had such consolidation, merger, conveyance or
transfer not  occurred.  All the bonds so issued shall in all respects  have the
same legal right and security as the bonds theretofore issued in accordance with
the terms of this  Indenture as though all of said bonds had been  authenticated
and delivered at the date of the execution hereof.  As a condition  precedent to
the execution by such successor  corporation and the authentication and delivery
by the Trustee of any such  additional  bonds or the  withdrawal  of cash or the
release of property  under any of the  provisions of this  Indenture or a credit
under the  provisions  of  Section 41 hereof,  on the basis of  property  of the
character defined in Section 4 hereof as property  additions  acquired,  made or
constructed by the successor  corporation,  or by any corporation with which the
Company or any successor  corporation  may be so  consolidated or into which the
Company or any successor corporation may be so merged or to which the Company or
any successor  corporation may make any such conveyance,  the indenture with the
Trustee to be executed and caused to be recorded by the successor corporation as
in this  Article  XVII  provided  or a  subsequent  indenture  shall  contain  a
conveyance or transfer and mortgage in terms sufficient to subject such property
to the lien hereof;  and provided  further that the lieu created thereby and the
lien thereof shall have similar  force,  effect and standing as the lien of this
Indenture  would have if the Company should not be  consolidated  with or merged
into such other  corporation  or should not convey or transfer,  subject to this
Indenture,  all or  substantially  all the mortgaged and pledged  property as an
entirety, as aforesaid, to such successor corporation,  and should itself on the
date of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, acquire or construct
such  property,  and request  the  authentication  and  delivery of bonds or the
withdrawal  of cash or the  release of  property  under the  provisions  of this
Indenture  in respect  thereof or a credit  under the  provisions  of Section 41
hereof.

     To the extent  permitted  by Sections 97 and 98, the Trustee may receive an
opinion of counsel as conclusive  evidence that any such assumption and any such
lien and any such indenture comply with the foregoing  conditions and provisions
of this Section.

     SECTION  95.  In case the  Company,  as  permitted  by  Section  93 of this
Indenture,  shall be consolidated with or merged into any other corporation,  or
shall convey or transfer,  subject to this Indenture,  all or substantially  all
the  mortgaged and pledged  property as an entirety as  aforesaid,  neither this
Indenture  nor the  indenture  with the Trustee to be executed  and caused to be
recorded by the successor  corporation as in this Article XVII hereof  provided,
shall,  unless such indenture shall otherwise provide,  become or be a lien upon
any of the property or franchises of the successor  corp9ration except (a) those
acquired by it from the Company and  appurtenant  thereto and property which the
successor  corporation shall thereafter acquire or construct which shall form an
integral part of, and be essential or convenient to the use or operation of, any
property  then or thereafter  subject to the lien hereof,  (b) the property made
and used by the successor  corporation  as the basis under any of the provisions
of this Indenture for the authentication and delivery of additional bonds or the
withdrawal  of cash or the release of property or a credit under the  provisions
of Section 41 hereof and (c) such franchises, repairs and additional property as
may be  acquired,  made  or  constructed  by the  successor  corporation  (1) to
maintain,  renew and preserve  the  franchises  covered by this  Indenture or to
maintain the mortgaged and pledged property as an operating system or systems in
good repair,  working order and condition,  or (2) in pursuance of some covenant
or agreement hereof to be kept or performed by the Company. Unless and until the
successor  corporation  shall  subject  all  the  properties  of  the  successor
corporation  to the lien of this  Indenture,  it  shall  in case of any  merger,
consolidation or transfer keep the accounts of the successor corporation so that
the  earnings  of the  mortgaged  and  pledged  property  may  be at  all  times
distinguished,  and all covenants herein  contained  affecting the mortgaged and
pledged property be fully performed.

                                 ARTICLE XVIII.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE.

having its principal office and place of business in the City of Chicago,  State

such a bank  or  trust  company  willing  and  able to  accept  the  trust  upon
reasonable or customary  terms,  and which shall at all times be a bank or trust
company  organized as a  corporation  and doing  business  under the laws of the
United  States or of the State of Illinois  or of the State of New York,  with a
capital and surplus of at least  $2,500,000  and  authorized  under such laws to
exercise  corporate  trust powers and subject to  supervision  or examination by
federal or state  authority.  If the Trustee  publishes  reports of condition at
least  annually,  pursuant to law or to the  requirements  of any supervising or
examining  authority referred to in this Section,  then for the purposes of this
Section the  combined  capital and surplus of the Trustee  shall be deemed to be
its  combined  capital  and  surplus as set forth in its most  recent  report of
condition so published.

     The Company covenants that whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in
the office of Trustee,  it will,  in the manner  provided in Section 113 hereof,
appoint a Trustee so that there shall at all times be a Trustee  eligible  under
this Section.

     SECTION  97. The  Trustee  hereby  accepts the trust  hereby  created.  The
Trustee  undertakes,  prior to a completed default,  and after the curing of all
completed defaults which may have occurred, to perform such duties and only such
duties  as are  specifically  set  forth  in  this  Indenture,  and in case of a
completed  default (which has not been cured) to exercise such of the rights and
powers  vested in it by this  Indenture,  and to use the same degree of care and
skill in their  exercise,  as a  prudent  man  would  exercise  or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

     The Trustee,  upon  receipt of evidence  furnished to it by or on behalf of
the Company  pursuant to any provision of this Indenture,  will examine the same
to determine  whether or not such evidence  conforms to the requirements of this
Indenture.

     SECTION 98. No  provision of this  Indenture  shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from  liability  for its own  negligent  action,  its own  negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

     (a) prior to  completed  default  hereunder  and  after  the  curing of all
completed  defaults  which may have  occurred,  the Trustee  shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties as are  specifically set forth in this
Indenture,  and no  implied  covenants  or  obligations  shall be read into this
Indenture  against the Trustee but the duties and  obligations  of the  Trustee,
prior to completed default and after the curing of all completed  defaults which
may have occurred,  shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Indenture; and

     (b) prior to  completed  default  hereunder  and  after  the  curing of all
completed  defaults which may have occurred,  and in the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Trustee,  the Trustee may  conclusively  rely as to the truth of
the  statements  and  the  correctness  of  opinions  expressed  therein,   upon
certificates or opinions conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; and






  





  











  










     (c) the Trustee  shall not be  personally  liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers of the Trustee unless it
shall be proved that the Trustee was  negligent in  ascertaining  the  pertinent
facts; and

     (d) the Trustee shall not be  personally  liable with respect to any action
taken  or  omitted  to be  taken  by it in good  faith  in  accordance  with the
direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal  amount of the
bonds at the time  outstanding  (determined  as  provided  in  Section 2 hereof)
relating to the time,  method,  and place of conducting  any  proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Indenture.

     SECTION 99. The recitals of fact contained herein and in the bonds shall be
taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no  representations as to the
value of the  mortgaged and pledged  property or any part thereof,  or as to the
title of the Company thereto,  or as to the validity or adequacy of the security
afforded  thereby and hereby,  or as to the validity of this Indenture or of the
bonds or coupons issued hereunder.

     SECTION 100.  Subject to the  provisions of Sections 97 and 98, the Trustee
shall not be  personally  liable in case of entry by it upon the  mortgaged  and
pledged  property for debts  contracted or liability or damages  incurred in the
management or operation of said property.

     SECTION 101. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this  Indenture
is  required  or  permitted  to be given or served by the Trustee on the Company
shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served, for all purposes,  by
being  deposited  postage prepaid in a post-office  letter box addressed  (until
another  address is filed by the Company  with the  Trustee for the  purposes of
this Section),  as follows:  Indianapolis  Power & Light Company,  Indianapolis,
Indiana.

     SECTION 102. To the extent permitted by Sections 97 and 98:

          (1) The  Trustee  may rely and shall be  protected  in acting upon any

     genuine  and to have  been  signed  or  presented  by the  proper  party or
     parties; and

          (2) The  Trustee  may  consult  with  counsel  selected  by it and the
     opinion  of such  counsel  shall be full  and  complete  authorization  and
     protection  in respect of any action  taken or suffered by it  hereunder in
     good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

     SECTION  103.  The Trustee  shall not be under any  responsibility  for the
approval or selection  of any expert for any of the  purposes  expressed in this
Indenture,  except that  nothing in this  Section  contained  shall  relieve the
Trustee  of its  obligation  to  exercise  reasonable  care with  respect to the
approval  or  selection  of  independent  experts  who may  furnish  opinions or
certificates to the Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Indenture.






  





  











  










     Any  resolution of the Board of Directors or Executive  Committee  shall be
evidenced  to the Trustee by a copy  thereof  certified  by the  Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted.

     Nothing  contained in this Section shall be deemed to modify the obligation
of the  Trustee to  exercise  after a  completed  default  the rights and powers
vested in it by this  Indenture  with the degree of care and skill  specified in
Section 97.

     SECTION 104. The Trustee,  in its  individual  or any other  capacity,  may
become the owner or pledgee of bonds or  coupons  secured  hereby  with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

     SECTION 105.  Subject to the  provisions of Section 130 hereof,  all moneys
received by the Trustee whether as Trustee or paying agent shall,  until used or
applied as herein  provided,  be held in trust for the  purposes  for which they
were paid,  but need not be  segregated  from other  funds  except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee may allow and credit to the Company interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder at such rate, if any, as may be agreed upon with
the Company from time to time and as may be permitted by law.

     SECTION  106. The Company  covenants  and agrees to pay to the Trustee from
time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable  compensation for
all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in
the exercise and  performance  of any of the powers and duties  hereunder of the
Trustee,  which  compensation  shall not be limited by any  provision  of law in
regard to the  compensation  of a trustee of an express  trust,  and the Company
will reimburse the Trustee with interest for all advances made by the Trustee in
accordance  with any of the  provisions  of this  Indenture  and will pay to the
Trustee  from  time  to time  its  expenses  and  disbursements  (including  the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all  persons  not  regularly  in its  employ).  The Company  also  covenants  to
indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against,  any loss, liability
or expense incurred without  negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
arising out of or in connection  with the acceptance or  administration  of this
trust,  including  the costs and  expenses  of  defending  against  any claim of
liability in the premises.  The  obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
this Section shall  constitute  additional  indebtedness  secured  hereby.  Such
additional  indebtedness  shall be  secured by a lien prior to that of the bonds
upon the trust estate,  including all property or funds held or collected by the
Trustee as such.

     SECTION  107.  Whenever  in  the  administration  of  the  trusts  of  this
Indenture,  prior to a completed  default  hereunder,  the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
suffering any action  hereunder,  such matter  (unless other evidence in respect
thereof  be herein  specifically  prescribed)  may be deemed to be  conclusively
proved  and  established  by  a  certificate   signed  by  the  President  or  a
Vice-President  and the  Treasurer or an Assistant  Treasurer of the Company and
delivered  to the  Trustee,  and such  certificate  shall be full warrant to the
Trustee  for any action  taken or suffered  by it under the  provisions  of this
Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     SECTION  108.  Whenever it is provided in this  Indenture  that the Trustee
shall  take any  action  upon the  happening  of a  specified  event or upon the
fulfillment  of  any  condition  or  upon  the  request  of  the  Company  or of
bondholders,  the Trustee  taking such action  shall have full power to give any
and all notices and to do any and all acts and things incidental to such action.

     SECTION 109. (a) If the Trustee has or acquires any  conflicting  interest,
as defined by subsection  (d) of this Section,  the Trustee shall within 90 days
after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest,  either eliminate such
conflicting interest or resign by giving written notice to the Company, but such
resignation  shall not become  effective  until the  appointment  of a successor
trustee  and  such  successor's  acceptance  of such  appointment.  The  Company
covenants  to take  prompt  steps to have a  successor  appointed  in the manner
hereinafter provided in Section 113. Upon giving such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee shall publish notice thereof in one daily newspaper printed in
the English  language of general  circulation  in the City of Chicago,  State of
Illinois,  once in each of three successive  calendar weeks, in each case on any
business  day of the week,  which need not be the same day in each week.  If the
resigning  Trustee  fails to publish  such notice  within ten days after  giving
written notice of its resignation to the Company, the Company shall publish such
notice.

     (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the  provisions
of the preceding  subsection  (a) of this  Section,  the Trustee shall within 10
days after the expiration of such 90 day period  transmit notice of such failure
to the  bondholders,  in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c)
of Section 53 hereof  with  respect to reports  pursuant  to  subsection  (a) of
Section 53 hereof.

     (c) Subject to the  provisions of Section 88 hereof any  bondholder who has
been a bona  fide  holder of a bond or bonds for at least  six  months  may,  on
behalf of  himself  and all others  similarly  situated,  petition  any court of
competent  jurisdiction  for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor if the Trustee fails,  after written request  therefor by such holder,
to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section.

     (d) The Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest if--

          (1) the Trustee is trustee  under  another  indenture  under which any
     other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other
     securities, of the Company are outstanding, except as otherwise provided in
     Paragraph (1) of subsection  (b) of Section 310 of the Trust  Indenture Act
     of 1939;

          (2) the Trustee or any of its  directors or  executive  officers is an
     obligor upon the bonds or an underwriter for the Company;






  





  











  









          (3) the  Trustee  directly  or  indirectly  controls or is directly or
     indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with
     the Company or an underwriter for the Company;

          (4) the Trustee or any of its  directors  or  executive  officers is a
     director,  officer, partner,  employee,  appointee or representative of the
     Company,  or of an  underwriter  (other  than the  Trustee  itself) for the
     Company who is currently  engaged in the business of  underwriting,  except
     that (A) one  individual may be a director  and/or an executive  officer of
     the Trustee and a director and/or an executive officer of the Company,  but
     may not be at the same time an  executive  officer of both the  Trustee and
     the  Company;  (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the Trustee
     in office is more than nine,  one  additional  individual may be a director
     and/or an  executive  officer of the Trustee and a director of the Company;
     and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or by any  underwriter
     for the  Company  to act in the  capacity  of  transfer  agent,  registrar,
     custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary or in any
     other similar  capacity or,  subject to the  provisions of paragraph (1) of
     this subsection, to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise;

          (5) 10 per centum or more of the voting  securities  of the Trustee is
     beneficially  owned  either by the Company or by any  director,  partner or
     executive  officer  thereof,  or 20 per  centum  or  more  of  such  voting
     securities is beneficially owned, collectively,  by any two or more of such
     persons;  or 10 per centum or more of the voting  securities of the Trustee
     is  beneficially  owned either by an underwriter  for the Company or by any
     director,  partner or executive officer thereof,  or is beneficially owned,
     collectively, by any two or more such persons;

          (6) the  Trustee  is the  beneficial  owner of or holds as  collateral
     security for an obligation which is in default, (A) 5 per centum or more of
     the  voting  securities  or 10 per  centum  or more of any  other  class of
     security  of the  Company,  not  including  the  bonds  issued  under  this
     Indenture and securities  issued under any other  indenture under which the
     Trustee  is also  trustee,  or (B) 10 per  centum  or more of any  class of
     security of an underwriter for the Company;

          (7) the  Trustee is the  beneficial  owner of, or holds as  collateral
     security for an obligation which is in default, 5 per centum or more of the

     ten per centum or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or
     indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with, the Company;

          (8) the  Trustee  is the  beneficial  owner of or holds as  collateral
     security for an  obligation  which is in default,  10 per centum or more of
     any class of security of any person who, to the  knowledge  of the Trustee,
     owns 50 per centum or more of the voting securities of the Company; or






  





  











  









          (9) the Trustee owns on May 15th in any calendar  year in the capacity
     of executor, administrator,  testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian,
     committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of
     25 per centum or more of the voting securities or of any class of security,
     of any person, the beneficial  ownership of a specified percentage of which
     would have constituted a conflicting  interest under paragraph (6), (7), or
     (8) of this  subsection.  As to any such  securities  of which the  Trustee
     acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary
     trustee of an estate which  included  them, the provisions of the preceding
     sentence  shall not  apply for a period of two years  from the date of such
     acquisition,  to the extent that such securities included in such estate do
     not exceed 25 per centum of such voting  securities or 25 per centum of any
     such class of security. Promptly after May 15th, in each calendar year, the
     Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the
     above-mentioned  capacities  as of May 15th.  If the Company  fails to make
     payment in full of  principal  or  interest  upon the bonds when and as the
     same become due and  payable,  and such failure  continues  for thirty days
     thereafter,  the Trustee  shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such
     securities in any of the above- mentioned  capacities as of the date of the
     expiration of such thirty-day  period and after such date,  notwithstanding
     the foregoing provisions of this paragraph,  all such securities so held by
     the Trustee with sole or joint control over such  securities  vested in it,
     shall,  but only so long as such failure shall  continue,  be considered as
     though  beneficially  owned by the Trustee for the  purposes of  paragraphs
     (6), (7), and (8) of this subsection (d).

     The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9),  inclusive,  of
this subsection  shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such
percentages  of the  securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient
to  constitute  direct or indirect  control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or
(7) of this subsection.

     For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (d)
only,  (A) the  terms  "security"  and  "securities"  shall  include  only  such
securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include
any note or other evidence of  indebtedness  issued to evidence an obligation to
repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks,  trust  companies or banking
firms or any  certificate  of  interest  or  participation  in any such  note or
evidence of  indebtedness;  (B) an  obligation  shall be deemed to be in default
when a default in payment of principal  shall have  continued for thirty days or
more and shall not have been cured;  and (C) the Trustee  shall not be deemed to
be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it holds as collateral security
(as trustee or  otherwise)  for an  obligation  which is not in default as above
defined,  or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral  security under this
Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it
holds as agent for collection,  or as custodian,  escrow agent or depositary, or
in any similar representative capacity.

     For the purposes of this  subsection (d) only,  the term "voting  security"
shall mean any security presently  entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote
in the  direction  or  management  of the affairs of a person,  or any  security
issued  under or  pursuant  to any trust,  agreement  or  arrangement  whereby a
trustee or trustees or agent or agents for the owner or holder of such  security
are presently  entitled to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of
a person.

     For the purposes of this  subsection  (d) only, the term  "director"  shall
mean  any  director  of a  corporation  or  any  individual  performing  similar
functions   with  respect  to  any   organization,   whether   incorporated   or
unincorporated.

     For the purposes of this subsection (d) only, the term "executive  officer"
shall  mean the  President,  every  Vice-President,  every  Trust  Officer,  the
Cashier,  the Secretary and the Treasurer of a  corporation,  and any individual
customarily  performing  similar  functions  with  respect to any  organization,
whether  incorporated or  unincorporated,  but shall not include the Chairman of
the Board of Directors.

     For the purposes of this subsection (d) only, the term  "underwriter"  when
used with  reference  to the Company  means every  person who,  within three (3)
years prior to the time as of which the  determination  is made,  has  purchased
from the Company with a view to, or has sold for the Company in connection with,
the distribution of any security of the Company,  or has participated or has had
a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking,  or has participated
or has had a  participation  in the direct or indirect  underwriting of any such
undertaking, but such term shall not include a person whose interest was limited
to a  commission  from an  underwriter  or dealer not in excess of the usual and
customary distributors' or sellers' commission.

     For the purposes of this  subsection  (d) only,  the term  "Company"  shall
include any obligor on bonds secured hereby.

     (e) The percentages of voting securities and other securities  specified in
subsection  (d) of this  Section  shall be  calculated  in  accordance  with the
following provisions:

          (i) A specified  percentage  of the voting  securities of the Trustee,
     the Company or any other person  referred to in this Section  (each of whom
     is referred to as a "person" in this  subsection  (e)) means such amount of
     the outstanding  voting securities of such person as entitles the holder or
     holders  thereof to cast such specified  percentage of the aggregate  votes
     which the holders of all the outstanding  voting  securities of such person
     are entitled to cast in the  direction or management of the affairs of such
     person.

          (ii) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a person means
     such  percentage  of the  aggregate  amount  of  securities  of  the  class
     outstanding.

          (iii) The term "amount", when used in regard to securities,  means the
     principal  amount if relating to evidences of  indebtedness,  the number of
     shares if relating to capital  shares,  and the number of units if relating

          (iv) The term  "outstanding"  means  issued and not held by or for the
     account  of the  issuer.  The  following  securities  shall  not be  deemed
     outstanding within the meaning of this definition:

               (1)  Securities  of an issuer held in a sinking fund  relating to
          securities of the issuer of the same class;

               (2)  Securities  of an issuer held in a sinking fund  relating to
          another class of securities of the issuer, if the obligation evidenced
          by such other class of securities is not in default as to principal or
          interest or otherwise;

               (3)  Securities  pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an
          obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or
          otherwise:

               (4)  Securities  held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer
          thereof;

     provided,  however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed
     outstanding if any person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the
     voting rights thereof.

          (v) A  security  shall be  deemed to be of the same  class as  another
     security  if both  securities  confer  upon the holder or  holders  thereof
     substantially the same rights and privileges,  provided,  however, that, in
     the case of  secured  evidences  of  indebtedness,  all of which are issued
     under a single  indenture,  differences  in the interest  rates or maturity
     dates  of  various  series  thereof  shall  not  be  deemed  sufficient  to
     constitute such series different classes, and provided,  further,  that, in
     the  case  of  unsecured  evidences  of  indebtedness,  differences  in the
     interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed  sufficient to
     constitute  them securities of different  classes,  whether or not they are
     issued under a single indenture.

     (f) If a separate or co-trustee  is appointed  pursuant to Section 114, the
provisions of this Section which have been made  specifically  applicable to the
Trustee,  shall also apply to any separate or cotrustee,  except that in case of
the resignation of a separate or cotrustee such  resignation and the appointment
of a  successor  shall  (subject to the  provisions  of  subsection  (c) of this
Section) be governed by the provisions of paragraph (3) of Section 114.

     SECTION  110.  (a)  Subject to the  provisions  of  subsection  (b) of this
Section,  if the  Trustee  shall be or  shall  become a  creditor,  directly  or
indirectly,  secured or unsecured,  of the Company within four months prior to a
default (as defined in the last paragraph of this subsection),  or subsequent to
such a default,  then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee
shall set apart and hold in a special  account  for the  benefit of the  Trustee
individually,  the  holders of the  bonds,  and the  holders of other  indenture
securities (as defined in the last paragraph of this subsection)






  





  











  










          (1) an amount  equal to any and all  reductions  in the amount due and
     owing upon any claim as such  creditor in respect of  principal or interest
     effected  after the  beginning  of such four  months'  period  and valid as
     against  the  Company and its other  creditors,  except any such  reduction
     resulting  from the receipt or  disposition  of any  property  described in
     paragraph  (2) of this  subsection  or from the  exercise  of any  right of
     set-off which the Trustee could have  exercised if a petition in bankruptcy
     had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default; and

          (2) all  property  received in respect of any claim as such  creditor,
     either as security therefor,  or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or
     otherwise  after the  beginning of such four months'  period,  or an amount
     equal to the  proceeds  of any such  property,  if  disposed  of,  subject,
     however,  to the rights,  if any, of the Company and its other creditors in
     such property or such proceeds.

     Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee

          (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments  made on account of any
     such claim by any person  (other than the Company)  who is liable  thereon,
     and  (ii)  the  proceeds  of the bona  fide  sale of any such  claim by the
     Trustee  to  a  third  person,  and  (iii)   distributions  made  in  cash,
     securities,  or other  property  in respect  of claims  filed  against  the
     Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for  reorganization
     pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law;

          (B) to realize,  for its own account,  upon any property held by it as
     security  for any such  claim,  if such  property  was so held prior to the
     beginning of such four months' period;

          (C) to  realize,  for its own  account,  but only to the extent of the
     claim hereinafter  mentioned,  upon any property held by it as security for
     any such claim,  if such claim was created after the beginning of such four
     months'  period  and  such  property  was  received  as  security  therefor
     simultaneously with the creation thereof,  and if the Trustee shall sustain
     the burden of proving  that at the time such  property  was so received the
     Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default as defined in the
     last paragraph of this subsection would occur within four months; or

          (D) to receive  payment on any claim  referred to in paragraph  (B) or
     (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as
     provided in paragraph  (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the
     fair value of such property.

For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C), and (D), property substituted after the
beginning of such four months'  period for property held as security at the time
of such  substitution  shall,  to the extent of the fair  value of the  property
released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that
any claim  referred to in any of such  paragraphs is created in renewal of or in
substitution  for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding  any  pre-existing
claim of the Trustee as such creditor,  such claim shall have the same status as
such pre-existing claim.

     If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in
such special account and the proceeds  thereof shall be apportioned  between the
Trustee, the bondholders,  and the holders of other indenture securities in such
manner that the Trustee,  the  bondholders,  and the holders of other  indenture
securities  realize,  as a result of  payments  from such  special  account  and
payments of  dividends  on claims  filed  against the Company in  bankruptcy  or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act
or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured
before  crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt
by it from the  Company of the funds and  property in such  special  account and
before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee,  the bondholders,  and
the holders of other indenture  securities dividends on claims filed against the
Company in bankruptcy  or  receivership  or in  proceedings  for  reorganization
pursuant to the  Bankruptcy  Act or  applicable  State law, but after  crediting
thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness  represented by their respective
claims from all sources  other than from such  dividends  and from the funds and
property  so held in  such  special  account.  As used in this  paragraph,  with
respect to any claim, the term "dividends"  shall include any distribution  with
respect to such claim,  in  bankruptcy or  receivership  or in  proceedings  for
reorganization  pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act or applicable  State law, whether
such distribution is made in cash, securities,  or other property, but shall not
include any such  distribution  with respect to the secured portion,  if any, of
such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy,  receivership, or proceeding for
reorganization  is pending shall have  jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the
Trustee,  the  bondholders,  and the holders of other indenture  securities,  in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in
such  special  account  and  the  proceeds  thereof,  or  (ii)  in  lieu of such
apportionment,  in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph
due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to
the Trustee,  the  bondholders,  and the holders of other indenture  securities,
with  respect  to  their  respective  claims,  in which  event  it shall  not be
necessary  to  liquidate  or to appraise  the value of any  securities  or other
property held in such special  account or as security for any such claim,  or to
make a specific  allocation  of such  distributions  as between  the secured and
unsecured  portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this
paragraph as a mathematical formula. To the extent that the claim of the Trustee
has been  reduced in amount or  satisfied  by the  receipt of moneys or property
which later have been  apportioned to the  Bondholders  and the holders of other
indenture securities on an accounting,  as hereinabove  provided,  such claim of
the Trustee shall be reinstated in amount.

     Any Trustee who has  resigned or been removed  after the  beginning of such
four months'  period shall be subject to the  provisions  of this  subsection as
though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned
or been removed prior to the beginning of such four months' period,  it shall be
subject  to the  provisions  of this  subsection  if and  only if the  following
conditions exist--






  





  











  









          (i) the  receipt of property  or  reduction  of claim which would have
     given rise to the  obligation to account,  if such Trustee had continued as
     trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four months' period; and

          (ii) such receipt of property or reduction  of claim  occurred  within
     four months after such resignation or removal.

     As used in this  Section,  the term  "default"  means any  failure  to make
payment in full of the principal of or interest upon the bonds or upon the other
indenture  securities  when and as such  principal  or interest  becomes due and
payable;  and the term "other indenture  securities" means securities upon which
the  Company  is an obligor  (as  defined  in the Trust  Indenture  Act of 1939)
outstanding  under  any other  indenture  (a) under  which the  Trustee  is also
trustee, (b) which contains provisions  substantially  similar to the provisions
of this  subsection,  and (c) under  which a  default  exists at the time of the
apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account.

     (b) There shall be excluded from the  operation of  subsection  (a) of this
Section a creditor relationship arising from--

          (1) the  ownership  or  acquisition  of  securities  issued  under any
     indenture,  or any security or securities  having a maturity of one year or
     more at the time of  acquisition  by the  Trustee;  and for the purposes of
     this paragraph the term "security"  shall mean any note,  bond,  debenture,
     evidence of  indebtedness,  certificate of interest or participation in any
     profit-sharing  agreement,  collateral-trust  certificate,  preorganization
     certificate,  certificate  of deposit for a security,  or, in general,  any
     interest or instrument commonly known as a "security" or any certificate of
     interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt
     for,  guaranty of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase,  any of
     the fore going;

          (2) advances  authorized  by a  receivership  or  bankruptcy  court of
     competent  jurisdiction  or by this Indenture for the purpose of preserving
     the property  subject to the lien of this Indenture or of  discharging  tax
     liens or other liens or encumbrances,  prior to the lien of this Indenture,
     on the trust  estate,  if notice of such  advance and of the  circumstances

any separate or co-trustee appointed pursuant to Section 114.

upon which such resignation  shall take effect and thereafter  publishing notice
thereof,  in one daily newspaper  printed in the English language and of general
circulation  in the City of Chicago,  State of  Illinois,  once in each of three
successive  calendar weeks, in each case on any business day of the week,  which
need not be the same day in each week,  and such  resignation  shall take effect
upon the day  specified in such notice  unless  previously  a successor  trustee
shall  have been  appointed  by the  bondholders  or the  Company  in the manner
hereinafter  provided in Section 113, and in such event such  resignation  shall
take effect  immediately  on the  appointment of such  successor  trustee.  This
Section shall not be applicable to resignations pursuant to Section 109.

     SECTION  112.  The Trustee may be removed at any time by an  instrument  or
concurrent  instruments  in  writing  filed  with the  Trustee  and  signed  and
acknowledged by the holders of a majority in principal  amount of the bonds then
outstanding  (determined as provided in Section 2 hereof) or by their  attorneys
in fact duly authorized.

     In case at any time the Trustee  shall  cease to be eligible in  accordance
with the provisions of Section 96, then the Trustee shall resign  immediately in
the manner and with the effect  specified in Section 111, and, in the event that
the Trustee  does not resign  immediately  in such case,  then it may be removed
forthwith by an instrument or concurrent  instruments  in writing filed with the
Trustee  and either  (a)  signed by the  President  or a  Vice-President  of the
Company  with  its  corporate  seal  attested  by a  Secretary  or an  Assistant
Secretary  of the  Company or (b) signed and  acknowledged  by the  holders of a
majority in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding or by their attorneys

     SECTION  113.  In case at any time the  Trustee  shall  resign  or shall be
removed  (unless the Trustee shall be removed as provided in  subsection  (c) of
Section  109 in which  event the  vacancy  shall be filled as  provided  in said
subsection) or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt
or  insolvent,  or if a  receiver  of the  Trustee or of its  property  shall be
appointed,  or if any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation,  a vacancy shall be deemed to exist in the office of Trustee, and a
successor  or  successors  may be  appointed  by the  holders of a  majority  in
principal amount of the bonds then outstanding hereunder (determined as provided
in Section 2 hereof),  by an  instrument or  concurrent  instruments  in writing
signed and  acknowledged by such  bondholders or by their attorneys in fact duly
authorized, and delivered to such new trustee,  notification thereof being given
to the Company and the retiring trustee;  provided,  nevertheless,  that until a
new trustee shall be appointed by the bondholders as aforesaid,  the Company, by
instrument  executed by order of its Board of Directors  or Executive  Committee
and duly  acknowledged  by its  President  or a  Vice-President,  may  appoint a
trustee to fill such  vacancy  until a new  trustee  shall be  appointed  by the
bondholders as herein  authorized.  The Company shall publish notice of any such
appointment  made by it in the manner  provided in Section  111. Any new trustee
appointed  by the  Company  shall,  immediately  and  without  further  act,  be
superseded by a trustee appointed by the bondholders as above provided,  if such
appointment by the bondholders be made prior to the expiration of one year after
the first  publication  of notice of the  appointment  of the new trustee by the
Company.

     If in a proper case no  appointment  of a successor  trustee  shall be made
pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions  of this Section  within 6 months after a
vacancy  shall have  occurred in the office of  trustee,  the holder of any bond
outstanding  hereunder  or any  retiring  trustee  may  apply  to any  court  of
competent  jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee. Said court may thereupon
after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe,  appoint
a successor trustee.

     If the  Trustee  resigns  because of a conflict  of interest as provided in
subsection  (a) of Section 109 and a  successor  has not been  appointed  by the
Company or the  bondholders  or, if appointed,  has not accepted the appointment
within 30 days after the date of such  resignation,  the  resigning  Trustee may
apply to any court of competent  jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.

     Any trustee appointed under the provisions of this Section in succession to
the  Trustee  shall be a bank or trust  company  eligible  under  Section 96 and
qualified under Section 109.

     Any trustee  which has resigned or been removed shall  nevertheless  retain
the lien upon the mortgaged or pledged property, including all property or funds
held or  collected  by the  trustee as such,  to secure the  amounts  due to the
trustee as compensation,  reimbursement,  expenses and indemnity, afforded to it
by Section 106.

     SECTION  114. At any time or times,  for the purpose of  conforming  to any
legal  requirements,  restrictions or conditions in any State or jurisdiction in
which any part of the  mortgaged  and  pledged  property  then  subject  to this
Indenture  may be  located,  the  Company  and the  Trustee  shall have power to
appoint, and, upon the request of the Trustee the Company shall for such purpose
join with the  Trustee  in the  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of,  all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint another corporation or
one or more persons  approved by the Trustee,  either to act as separate trustee
or trustees,  or co-trustee or co-trustees  jointly with the Trustee,  of all or
any of the property  subject to the lien  hereof.  In the event that the Company
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a  request  so to do,  the  Trustee  alone  shall  have  power  to make  such
appointment.

     Every separate trustee, every co-trustee and every successor trustee, other
than any trustee  which may be appointed as successor to American  National Bank
and Trust Company of Chicago shall, to the extent  permitted by law, but to such
extent only, be appointed  subject to the following  provisions and  conditions,
namely:

          (1) The rights,  powers,  duties and obligations  conferred or imposed
     upon  trustees  hereunder or any of them shall be conferred or imposed upon
     and  exercised  or performed  by the Trustee and such  separate  trustee or
     separate  trustees  or  co-trustee  or  co-trustees  jointly,  as  shall be
     provided in the supplemental  indenture appointing such separate trustee or
     separate  trustees or cotrustee or co- trustees,  except to the extent that
     under any law of any  jurisdiction  in which any particular act or acts are
     to be performed the Trustee shall be  incompetent or unqualified to perform
     such  act  or  acts,  in  which  event  such  rights,  powers,  duties  and
     obligations  shall be exercised and  performed by such separate  trustee or
     separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees;

          (2) The bonds secured hereby shall be authenticated and delivered, and
     all powers, duties,  obligations and rights,  conferred upon the Trustee in
     respect of the  custody of all bonds and other  securities  and of all cash
     pledged or  deposited  hereunder,  shall be  exercised  solely by  American
     National  Bank and Trust  Company of Chicago or its  successor in the trust
     hereunder;

          (3) The  Company  and the  Trustee,  at any time by an  instrument  in
     writing  executed by them jointly,  may accept the resignation of or remove
     any  separate  trustee  or  co-trustee  appointed  under  this  Section  or
     otherwise,  and, upon the request of the Trustee,  the Company  shall,  for
     such  purpose,  join  with  the  Trustee  in the  execution,  delivery  and
     performance of all instruments  and agreements  necessary or proper to make
     effective such resignation or removal.  In the event that the Company shall
     not have joined in such action  within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
     request  so to do,  the  Trustee  alone  shall  have  power to accept  such
     resignation  or to  remove  any such  separate  trustee  or  co-trustee.  A
     successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigned or removed may be
     appointed in the manner provided in this Section;






  





  











  










          (4) No trustee  hereunder shall be personally  liable by reason of any
     act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;

          Any notice,  request or other writing,  by or on behalf of the holders
     of the bonds  delivered  to  American  National  Bank and Trust  Company of
     Chicago,  or its successor in the trust hereunder,  shall be deemed to have
     been  delivered to all of the then trustees or co- trustees as  effectually
     as if delivered to each of them. Every instrument appointing any trustee or
     trustees other than a successor to American National Bank and Trust Company
     of Chicago shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions in this Article
     expressed,  and upon the  acceptance in writing by such trustee or trustees
     or  co-trustee  or  co-trustees,  he,  they or it shall be vested  with the
     estates or property  specified  in such  instrument,  either  jointly  with
     American  National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or its  successor,  or
     separately,  as  may be  provided  therein,  subject  to  all  the  trusts,
     conditions  and  provisions of this  Indenture;  and every such  instrument
     shall be filed with American  National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or
     its successor in the trust hereunder.  Any separate trustee or trustees, or
     any co- trustee or co-trustees, may at any time by an instrument in writing
     constitute  American  National  Bank and Trust  Company  of  Chicago or its
     successor   in  the   trust   hereunder   his,   their  or  its   agent  or
     attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent which may be
     permitted  by law, to do all acts and things and  exercise  all  discretion
     authorized  or permitted by him, them or it, for and in behalf of him, them
     or it,  and in his,  their or its name.  In case any  separate  trustee  or
     trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, or a successor to any of them, shall
     die,  become  incapable of acting,  resign or be removed,  all the estates,
     property,  rights,  powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate
     trustee or  co-trustee,  so far as permitted by law, shall be vested in and
     be exercised by American  National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or its
     successor in the trust hereunder,  without the appointment of a new trustee
     as successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee.

     SECTION 115. Any  successor  trustee  appointed  hereunder  shall  execute,
acknowledge  and  deliver  to his or its  predecessor  trustee,  and also to the
Company, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,  and thereupon such
successor  trustee,  without any further act, deed or  conveyance,  shall become
fully vested with all the estates,  properties,  rights,  powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of his or its predecessor in trust  hereunder,  with like effect
as if originally  named as trustee herein;  but the trustee ceasing to act shall
nevertheless,  on the  written  request  of  the  Company,  or of the  successor
trustee, or of the holders of 10 percentum in principal amount of the bonds then
outstanding  hereunder,  execute,  acknowledge  and deliver such  instruments of
conveyance  and further  assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more fully and certainly  vesting and  confirming in such successor
trustee  all the  right,  title and  interest  of the  trustee to which he or it
succeeds, in and to the mortgaged and pledged property and such rights,  powers,
trusts, duties and obligations,  and the trustee ceasing to act shall also, upon
like request, pay over, assign and deliver to the successor trustee any money or
other  property  subject to the lien of this  Indenture,  including  any pledged
securities,  which  may  then  be in his or its  possession.  Should  any  deed,
conveyance  or  instrument  in writing  from the  Company be required by the new
trustee  for more  fully and  certainly  vesting in and  confirming  to such new
trustee such estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts and duties, any and all
such deeds,  conveyances  and  instruments  in writing  shall,  on  request,  be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company.

     SECTION 116. Any  corporation  into which the Trustee may be merged or with
which it may be  consolidated  or any  corporation  resulting from any merger or
consolidation  to which the Trustee shall be a party or any corporation to which
substantially  all the  business  and assets of the Trustee may be  transferred,
provided such  corporation  shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 96
and  qualified  under  Section  109 shall be the  successor  trustee  under this
Indenture,  without the execution or filing of any paper or the  performance  of
any further act on the part of any other parties hereto,  anything herein to the
contrary  notwithstanding.  In case any of the bonds  contemplated  to be issued
hereunder shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to
the  Trustee  may,  subject  to the same  terms and  conditions  as though  such
successor  had  itself  authenticated  such  bonds,  adopt  the  certificate  of
authentication  of the  original  Trustee or of any  successor  to it as trustee
hereunder, and deliver the said bonds so authenticated;  and in case any of said
bonds  shall not have been  authenticated,  any  successor  to the  Trustee  may
authenticate  such bonds either in the name of any  predecessor  hereunder or in
the name of the successor trustee, and in all such cases such certificates shall
have the full force  which it is  anywhere  in said  bonds or in this  Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that
the right to  authenticate  bonds in the name of the Trustee shall apply only to
its successor or successors by merger or consolidation or sale as aforesaid.

                                  ARTICLE XIX.

                             DISCHARGE OF MORTGAGE.

     SECTION  117.  The Trustee  (and any trustee or trustees or  co-trustee  or
co-trustees appointed pursuant to Article XVIII hereof) may, and upon request of
the Company  shall,  cancel and discharge the lien of these  presents and of all
indentures  supplemental  hereto,  and execute  and deliver to the Company  such
deeds and  instruments  as shall be  requisite to satisfy the lien hereof and of
all indentures supplemental hereto, and reconvey and transfer to the Company the
mortgaged and pledged property,  whenever all indebtedness  secured hereby shall
have been paid, including all proper charges of the Trustee hereunder.

     Bonds and interest  obligations  for the payment of which and bonds for the
redemption  of which moneys  shall have been set apart by or deposited  with the
Trustee  with  irrevocable  direction  so to  apply  the  same,  subject  to the
provisions of Section 130 hereof (with or without any additional  right given to
the holders to surrender their bonds and obtain therefrom payment therefor prior
to the redemption  date) shall for all purposes of this Article XIX be deemed to
have been paid;  provided that in case of redemption the notice requisite to the
validity of such  redemption  shall have been given or  arrangements  shall have
been made  insuring to the  satisfaction  of the  Trustee  that the same will be
given.

                                   ARTICLE XX.

                            MEETINGS OF BONDHOLDERS.

     SECTION 118.  Modifications and alterations of this Indenture and/or of any
indenture  supplemental  hereto  and/or of the  rights  and  obligations  of the
Company and/or of the holders of outstanding  bonds and coupons issued hereunder
may be made as provided in the nine next succeeding Sections hereof numbered 119
to 127, both inclusive.

     SECTION 119. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the  bondholders
affected by the business to be submitted to the meeting and it shall call such a
meeting on the written request of the Company, given pursuant to a resolution of
its Board of  Directors.  The  holders  of fifteen  per centum  (15%) or more in
principal  amount of the bonds  affected by the  business to be submitted to the
meeting  outstanding  hereunder  at the time of such  request  may  request  the
Trustee to call such a meeting.  In the event of the  Trustee's  failing for ten
(10) days to call a meeting  after being  thereunto  requested by the Company or
the bondholders as above set forth, holders of outstanding bonds affected by the
business to be submitted  to the meeting to the amount  above  specified in this
Section or the Company,  pursuant to resolution  of its Board of Directors,  may
call such  meeting.  Every such  meeting  called by and at the  instance  of the
Trustee  shall  be held at the  principal  office  of the  Trustee,  or,  at the
election of the Trustee, at such place in the Borough of Manhattan,  The City of
New York,  as shall be selected by the Trustee or, with the written  approval of
the  Company,  at any other place in the United  States of America,  and written
notice  thereof,  stating the place and time  thereof  and in general  terms the
business  to be  submitted,  shall be mailed by the Trustee not less than thirty
(30) days before such meeting (a) to each registered holder of bonds affected by
the business to be submitted to the meeting then outstanding hereunder addressed
to him at his address appearing on the registry books, (b) to each holder of any
such bond payable to bearer who shall have filed with the Trustee an address for
notices to be  addressed to him,  (c) to all other  bondholders  whose names and
addresses are preserved at the time by the Trustee,  as provided in  subdivision
(a)  of  Section  51  hereof,  and  (d)  to  the  Company  addressed  to  it  at
Indianapolis,  Indiana  (or at such other  address as may be  designated  by the
Company from time to time) and shall be published by the Trustee at least once a
week for four (4) successive calendar weeks immediately preceding the meeting in
a daily newspaper  printed in the English  language and published and of general
circulation  in the  Borough  of  Manhattan,  The  City of New  York;  provided,
however,  that the  mailing of such  notice to any  bondholders  affected by the
business  submitted to the meeting shall in no case be a condition  precedent to
the validity of any action taken at such  meeting.  If such meeting is called by
or at the  instance  either of the  Company or the  bondholders  affected by the
business submitted to the meeting,  it shall be held at such place in the United
States of America as may be  specified  in the notice  calling  such meeting and
notice thereof shall be sufficient for all purposes hereof if given by newspaper
publication  as  aforesaid  stating  the  place and time of the  meeting  and in
general terms the business to be transacted. Any meeting of bondholders shall be
valid  without  notice if the  holders  of all bonds  affected  by the  business
submitted to the meeting then outstanding  hereunder are present in person or by
proxy  and if the  Company  and the  Trustee  are  present  by  duly  authorized
representatives,  or if notice is waived in writing  before or after the meeting
by the Company,  the holders of all bonds affected by the business  submitted to
the meeting outstanding  hereunder or by such as are not present in person or by
proxy and by the Trustee.






  





  











  










     SECTION  120.  Officers  and nominees of the Trustee and of the Company may
attend and be heard at such  meeting,  but as such shall not be entitled to vote
thereat.  Attendance by bondholders  may be in person or by proxy. In order that
the  holders of bonds  payable to bearer and their  proxies  may attend and vote
without  producing  their bonds,  the Trustee,  with respect to any such meeting
called by the Trustee,  may make and from time to time vary such  regulations as
it shall  think  fit for  deposit  of bonds  with any  banks,  bankers  or trust
companies,  and for the issue to the persons depositing the same of certificates
by such depositaries entitling the holders thereof to be present and vote at any
such meeting and to appoint  proxies to represent  them and vote for them at any
such  meeting in the same way as if the persons so present  and  voting,  either
personally or by proxy, were the actual bearers of the bonds in respect of which
such certificates  shall have been issued,  and any regulations so made shall be
binding and effective. If any such meeting shall have been called by bondholders
affected by the business submitted to the meeting or by the Company as aforesaid
upon  failure of the Trustee to call the same after  having been so requested to
do under the  provisions of Section 119 hereof,  regulations  to like effect for
such deposit of bonds with an issue of certificates by any bank or trust company
organized  under  the laws of the  United  States  of  America  or of any  state
thereof,  having  a  capital  of not  less  than One  hundred  thousand  dollars
($100,000),  shall be similarly binding and effective for all purposes hereof if
adopted or approved by the  bondholders  calling such meeting or by the Board of
Directors of the Company, if such meeting shall have been called by the Company,
provided that in either such case copies of such regulations shall be filed with
the Trustee.

     SECTION 121. Subject to the  restrictions  specified in Section 120 hereof,
any  registered  holder of bonds affected by the business to be submitted at the
meeting  outstanding  hereunder and any holder of a certificate  provided for in
Section 120  hereof,  shall be entitled in person or by proxy to attend and vote
at such  meeting as holder of the bonds  registered  or certified in the name of
such holder without  producing such bonds.  All others seeking to attend or vote
at such  meeting  in person or by proxy  must,  if  required  by any  authorized
representative of the Trustee or the Company or by any other bondholder affected
by the business to be submitted at the meeting,  produce the bonds claimed to be
owned or  represented  at such meeting,  and every one seeking to attend or vote
shall, if required as aforesaid, produce such further proof of bond ownership or
personal  identity as shall be satisfactory to the authorized  representative of
the Trustee,  or if none be present then to the Inspectors of Votes  hereinafter
provided for.  Proxies shall be acknowledged as required for an instrument to be
recorded in the State of Illinois, and all proxies and certificates presented at
any meeting  shall be delivered to said  Inspectors  of Votes and filed with the
Trustee.

     SECTION 122.  Persons  named by the Trustee if  represented  at the meeting
shall act as temporary Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the meeting, but
if the Trustee shall not be  represented  or shall fail to nominate such persons
or if any person so nominated shall not be present,  the bondholders and proxies
present  and  entitled  to vote shall by a majority  vote,  irrespective  of the
amount of their  holdings,  elect other  persons from those present to fill such
vacancy or  vacancies.  A permanent  Chairman and a permanent  Secretary of such
meeting  shall be elected  from those  present by the  bondholders  and  proxies
present and entitled to vote by a majority  vote  irrespective  of the amount of
their holdings.  The Trustee,  if represented at the meeting,  shall appoint two
Inspectors of Votes who shall count all votes cast at such meeting, except votes
on the election of a Chairman and Secretary,  both  temporary and permanent,  as
aforesaid,  and who shall  make and file  with the  permanent  Secretary  of the
meeting their verified  written report in duplicate of all such votes so cast at
said meeting.  If the Trustee shall not be  represented  at the meeting or shall
fail to nominate such Inspectors of Votes or if either  Inspector of Votes fails
to  attend  the  meeting  the  vacancy  shall be filled  by  appointment  by the
permanent Chairman of the meeting.

     SECTION 123.  Subject to the  provisions of this Section and of Section 127
hereof,  the holders of not less than  sixty-six and  two-thirds  per centum (66
2/3%) in  principal  amount  of the bonds  outstanding  hereunder  (computed  as
provided in Section 2 hereof)  when such meeting is held must be present at such
meeting  in  person  or by  proxy  in  order  to  constitute  a  quorum  for the
transaction of business,  less than a quorum,  however, having power to adjourn;
provided,  however,  that in case  more  than  one  series  of  bonds  shall  be
outstanding  under this  Indenture,  and any  business to be  submitted  to such
meeting  shall  affect the rights of holders of the bonds of one or more  series
and shall not  affect  the  rights of holders of the bonds of one or more of the
other series,  then only holders of the bonds of the series to be affected shall
have the right to notice of or to attend or vote at any such meeting or shall be
counted for the purpose of a quorum. The determination of the Trustee as to what
series  of bonds the  rights  of the  holders  of which  are  affected  shall be
conclusive.  If such  meeting is  adjourned  by less than a quorum for more than
fourteen (14) days,  notice thereof shall  forthwith be mailed by the Trustee if
such meeting shall have been called by the Trustee (a) to the Company  addressed
to it at Indianapolis, Indiana (or at such other address as may be designated by
the  Company in writing  from time to time),  (b) to each  registered  holder of
bonds  entitled to notice then  outstanding  hereunder  addressed  to him at his
address appearing on the registry books, and (c) to each holder of any such bond
payable to bearer who shall have filed with the Trustee an address for  notices,
and (d) to every other  bondholder  whose name and address is  preserved  at the
time by the Trustee,  as provided in  subdivision  (a) of Section 51 hereof,  in
each case addressed to him at such address, and shall be published at least once
in each  fourteen  (14) day  period  of such  adjournment  in a daily  newspaper
printed in the English language and published and of general  circulation in the
Borough of Manhattan,  The City of New York.  Failure to mail such notice to any
such  bondholder as aforesaid shall in no case affect the validity of any action
taken at any meeting held  pursuant to such  adjournment.  If such meeting shall
have been  called by  bondholders  or by the  Company  after the  failure of the
Trustee to call the same after being  requested so to do in accordance  with the
provisions of Section 119 hereof,  notice of such adjournment  shall be given by
the permanent Chairman and permanent  Secretary of the meeting in the newspapers
and for the  number  of times  above  specified  in this  Section  and  shall be
sufficient if so given.

     SECTION  124.  Subject to the  provisions  of Section  123 and  Section 127
hereof, any modification or alteration of this Indenture and/or of any indenture
supplemental  hereto and/or of the rights and  obligations of the Company and/or
of the holders of bonds and coupons  issued here under in any  particular may be
made at a meeting of bondholders  duly convened and held in accordance  with the
provisions  of  this  Article,  but  only  by  resolution  duly  adopted  by the
affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66%%) or
more in  principal  amount  of the  bonds  entitled  to  vote  at  such  meeting
outstanding  hereunder  (computed  as  provided  in Section 2 hereof)  when such
meeting is held,  and  approved by  resolution  of the Board of Directors of the
Company as hereinafter specified;  provided,  however, that no such modification
or  alteration  shall,  without  the  consent of the  holder of any bond  issued
hereunder  affected  thereby,  permit (1) the  extension  of the maturity of the
principal of such bond, or (2) the reduction in the rate of interest  thereon or
any other  modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest or
(3) the creation of any lien  ranking  prior to, or on a parity with the lien of
this  Indenture  with  respect  to any  of the  property  mortgaged  or  pledged
hereunder or (4) the deprivation of any non-assenting  bondholder of a lien upon
the mortgaged and pledged  property for the security of his bonds  (subject only
to the lien of  taxes,  assessments  or  governmental  charges  not then due and
delinquent  and to any mortgage or other liens existing upon said property which
are prior hereto at the date of the calling of any such bondholders' meeting) or
(5) the reduction of the  percentage  required by the provisions of this Section
for the  taking of any  action  under  this  Section  with  respect  to any bond
outstanding hereunder. For all purposes of this Article, the Trustee, subject to
the  provisions of Sections 97 and 98, shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion
of counsel with  respect to the extent,  if any, as to which any action taken at
such  meeting  affects the rights under this  Indenture  or under any  indenture
supplemental hereto of any holders of bonds then outstanding hereunder.

     SECTION 125. A record in duplicate  of the  proceedings  of each meeting of
bondholders  shall be prepared  by the  permanent  Secretary  of the meeting and
shall have attached thereto the original reports of the Inspectors of Votes, and
affidavits by one or more persons  having  knowledge of the facts showing a copy
of the notice of the meeting and a copy of the notice of adjournment thereof, if
required  under the  provisions  of Section  123 hereof,  and showing  that said
notices  were mailed and  published  as provided in Section 119 hereof and, in a
proper case, as provided in Section 123 hereof.  Such record shall be signed and
verified by the affidavits of the permanent Chairman and the permanent Secretary
of the meeting,  and one duplicate thereof shall be delivered to the Company and
the other to the Trustee for  preservation by the Trustee.  Any record so signed
and verified shall be proof of the matters  therein stated until the contrary is
proved, and if such record shall also be signed and verified by the affidavit of
a duly authorized  representative  of the Trustee,  such meeting shall be deemed
conclusively  to have  been  duly  convened  and held and such  record  shall be
conclusive,  and any resolution or proceeding stated in such record to have been
adopted or taken shall be deemed conclusively to have been duly adopted or taken
by such meeting.  A true copy of any resolution adopted by such meeting shall be
mailed by the  Trustee to each  registered  holder of bonds  entitled to vote at
such meeting outstanding  hereunder addressed to him at his address appearing on
the  registry  books and to each  holder of any such bond  payable to bearer who
shall have filed with the  Trustee an address  for  notices,  and to every other
bondholder  whose name and address is preserved  at the time by the Trustee,  as
provided in subdivision (a) of Section 51 hereof,  in each case addressed to him
at such  address,  and proof of such  mailing by the  affidavit  of some  person
having  knowledge  of the fact shall be filed with the  Trustee,  but failure to
mail  copies of such  resolution  as  aforesaid  shall not affect  the  validity
thereof. No such resolution shall be binding until and unless such resolution is
approved by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which
resolution  of  approval,  if any,  shall be  certified  by the  Secretary or an
Assistant  Secretary  of the Company and filed by the Company  with the Trustee,
but if such resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company is adopted and a
certified  copy thereof is filed with the  Trustee,  the  resolution  so adopted
shall be deemed conclusively to be binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the
holders of all bonds and coupons  issued  hereunder,  at the expiration of sixty
(60) days after such filing, except in the event of a final decree of a court of
competent  jurisdiction  setting aside such resolution,  or annulling the action
taken  thereby  in a legal  action or  equitable  proceeding  for such  purposes
commenced  within such sixty (60) day period,  provided,  however,  that no such
resolution  of the  bondholders,  or of the  Company,  shall in any manner be so
construed as to change or modify any of the rights, immunities or obligations of
the Trustee without its written assent thereto.

     SECTION  126.  Bonds  authenticated  and  delivered  after  the date of any
bondholders'  meeting may bear a notation in form  approved by the Trustee as to
the action taken at meetings of bondholders theretofore held, and upon demand of
the holder of any bond  outstanding at the date of any such meeting and affected
thereby  and upon  presentation  of his bond for the  purpose  at the  principal
office of the Trustee,  the Company shall cause suitable  notation to be made on
such bond by  endorsement  or otherwise as to any action taken at any meeting of
bondholders  theretofore  held. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine
new  bonds  so  modified  as in the  opinion  of the  Trustee  and the  Board of
Directors  of the Company to conform to such  bondholders'  resolution  shall be
prepared, authenticated and delivered, and upon demand of the holder of any bond
then  outstanding and affected  thereby shall be exchanged  without cost to such
bondholder  for bonds then  outstanding  hereunder  upon surrender of such bonds
with all unmatured coupons appertaining  thereto. The Company or the Trustee may
require bonds  outstanding to be presented for notation or exchange as aforesaid
if either shall see fit to do so.  Instruments  supplemental  to this  Indenture
embodying any  modification  or alteration of this Indenture or of any indenture
supplemental hereto made at any bondholders'  meeting and approved by resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Company,  as aforesaid,  may be executed by the
Trustee and the Company and upon demand of the Trustee or if so specified in any
resolution  adopted by any such bondholders'  meeting,  shall be executed by the
Company and the Trustee.

     Any  supplemental  indenture  executed  pursuant to the  provisions of this
Article shall comply with all applicable  provisions of the Trust  Indenture Act
of 1939 as then in force.

     SECTION 127.  Notwithstanding  anything in this Article XX  contained,  the
Company may at any time,  or from time to time,  by  resolution  of the Board of
Directors filed with the Trustee,  stipulate that from and after the date of the
filing  of such  resolution  with the  Trustee  none of the  provisions  of this
Article XX shall be of any force and effect  whatever either as respects (1) all
bonds theretofore  authenticated and delivered by the Trustee hereunder and then
outstanding and/or (2) a to any bonds and/or all bonds thereafter  authenticated
and  delivered by the Trustee  hereunder,  and in any such event a  supplemental
indenture  setting out in detail the  stipulations  contained in such resolution
shall be made.

                                  ARTICLE XXI.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

     SECTION 128. Nothing in this Indenture,  expressed or implied,  is intended
or shall be  construed,  to  confer  upon,  or to give to,  any  person  firm or
corporation,  other than the  parties  hereto  and the  holders of the bonds and
coupons outstanding hereunder, any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of
this  Indenture or any covenant,  condition,  stipulation,  promise or agreement
hereof, and all the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements
in this  Indenture  contained  by and on behalf of the Company  shall be for the
sole and  exclusive  benefit of the  parties  hereto,  and of the holders of the
bonds and of the coupons outstanding hereunder.

     SECTION 129.  Any money which has been  deposited  with the Trustee  (other
than  money  which  has been  deposited  with the  Trustee  for the  purpose  of
effecting  payment or  redemption  of or payment of interest on any bonds issued
hereunder  or which  the  Trustee  has been  directed  to hold and apply for the
purpose of such  payment or  redemption)  shall,  at the  request of the Company
evidenced by a resolution, be invested or reinvested by the Trustee in any bonds
or other  obligations of the United States of America  designated by the Company
maturing not more than two years from the date of their purchase by the Trustee,
and until a completed default specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred
and be  continuing,  any  interest  on such bonds and  obligations  which may be
received by the Trustee shall be forthwith  paid to the Company.  Such bonds and
obligations  shall be held by the Trustee as a part of the mortgaged and pledged
property and subject to the same provisions  hereof as the cash used to purchase
the same, but upon a like request of the Company,  the Trustee shall sell all or
any  designated  part of the same and the proceeds of such sale shall be held by
the  Trustee  subject  to the same  provisions  hereof as the cash used by it to
purchase the bonds and  obligations so sold. If such sale (or any payment on the
maturity of any such obligations so held by the Trustee) shall produce a net sum
less  than the  cost of the  bonds or other  obligations  so sold,  the  Company
covenants  that it will pay  promptly to the Trustee such amount of cash as with
the net proceeds from such sale or such payment will equal the cost of the bonds
or other  obligations  so sold or paid,  and if such sale (or any payment on the
maturity of any such obligations so held by the Trustee) shall produce a net sum
greater than the cost of the bonds or  obligations  so sold or paid, the Trustee
shall promptly pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to such excess.

     SECTION  130.  In the event  that any bond  issued  hereunder  shall not be
presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity
or otherwise,  or at the date fixed for the redemption  thereof, or in the event
that any coupon shall not be presented for payment at the due date thereof,  the
Company,  having  deposited  with the  Trustee,  or with a  paying  agent of the
Company appointed herein or as permitted  hereunder,  for the purpose, or having
left with it if previously so deposited,  moneys sufficient to pay the principal
of such bond (and  premium,  if any),  together with all interest due thereon to
the date of the  maturity  of such bond or to the date fixed for the  redemption
thereof,  or to pay such coupon,  as the case may be, for the use and benefit of
the holder thereof, the Trustee or paying agent with which such deposit was made
shall hold the money so deposited  for the benefit of the holder of such bond or
overdue  coupon,  as the case may be.  In case the  holder  of any such  bond or
coupon shall not,  within ten (10) years after such redemption or maturity date,
claim the amount deposited as above stated, for the payment thereof, the Trustee
and such paying agent shall, upon receipt by each of them of such indemnity,  if
any,  as they may  severally  require,  on demand pay over to the  Company  such
amount so deposited, if the Company is not at the time in default hereunder; and
the  Trustee  and  such  paying  agent  shall  thereupon  be  relieved  from all
responsibility  to the holder  thereof,  and in the event of such payment to the
Company the holder of any such bond or coupon shall be deemed to be an unsecured
creditor of the  Company for an amount  equivalent  to the amount  deposited  as
above stated for the payment thereof and so paid over to the Company.

     SECTION 131. Any power,  privilege or right expressly or impliedly reserved
to or in any way conferred upon the Company by any provision of this  Indenture,
whether  such  power,  privilege  or  right  is  in  any  way  restricted  or is
unrestricted,  may be in whole or in part waived or  surrendered or subjected to
any  restriction  if at the time  unrestricted  or to additional  restriction if
already  restricted,  and the  Company  may enter  into any  further  covenants,
limitations or  restrictions  for the benefit of any one or more series of bonds
issued  hereunder  and provide that a breach  thereof  shall be  equivalent to a
default under this Indenture or the Company may cure any ambiguity or correct or
supplement any defective or inconsistent  provisions  contained herein or in any
supplemental indenture, by an instrument in writing executed and acknowledged by
the Company in such manner as would be necessary to entitle a conveyance of real
estate to record in all of the states in which any  property at the time subject
to the lien hereof shall be situated.  The Trustee is hereby  authorized to join
with the Company in the execution of any such  instrument or  instruments.  Such
instrument,  executed and  acknowledged as aforesaid,  shall be delivered to the
Trustee and thereupon if such  instrument  shall have been signed by the Trustee
any  modification  of the  provisions  of  these  presents  therein  set  forth,
authorized  by this  Section,  shall be binding upon the parties  hereto,  their
successors and assigns, and the holders of the bonds and coupons hereby secured.
Anything  herein to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  this  Section  shall not be
construed  to  permit  any  act,  waiver,  surrender  or  restriction  adversely
affecting any bonds then outstanding hereunder.

     SECTION 132. Subject to the provisions of Article XVII hereof,  whenever in
this  Indenture  either of the parties hereto is named or referred to (except in
subdivision  (1) of  Section 5  hereof),  this  shall be deemed to  include  the
successors or assigns of such party,  and all the  covenants  and  agreements in
this  Indenture  contained  by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of
the Trustee shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
assigns of such parties whether so expressed or not.

     SECTION  133. If any  provision  of this  Indenture  limits,  qualifies  or
conflicts  with another  provision  of this  Indenture  which has been  included
pursuant to any  requirements  of Sections 310 to 317,  inclusive,  of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, such required provisions shall control.

     SECTION  134.  Whenever  reference  is made in this  Indenture to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, reference is made to such Act as approved August 3, 1939.

     SECTION 135. The titles of the several Articles of this Indenture shall not
be deemed to be any part thereof.







  





  











  










     SECTION 136. This  Indenture  shall be  simultaneously  executed in several
counterparts,  and all such  counterparts  executed  and  delivered,  each as an
original, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY, party hereto of the
first  part,  has caused its  corporate  name to be hereunto  affixed,  and this
instrument to be signed and sealed by its President or a Vice-President, and its
corporate seal to be attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary for and
