The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successor or successors in said trust under the Mortgage as follows:
ARTICLE I


NINETY-FIRST SERIES BONDS


SECTION 1There shall be a series of bonds designated "2.40% Series due October 1, 2026” (herein sometimes called the “Ninety-first Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond”, and the form thereof, which has been established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Bonds of the Ninety-first Series (which shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $240,000,000) shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, shall mature on October 1, 2026, shall be issued as fully registered bonds in any integral multiple or multiples of One Thousand Dollars, and shall bear interest at the rate of 2.40% per annum, the first interest payment to be made on April 1, 2017, for the period from October 4, 2016 to April 1, 2017 with subsequent interest payments payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), the principal of and interest on each said bond to be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. Interest on the bonds of the Ninety-first Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name such bonds of the Ninety-first Series are registered.
Interest on the bonds of the Ninety-first Series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the maturity date of any bond of the Ninety-first Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.
The bonds of the Ninety-first Series shall be issued by the Company, registered in the name of and delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (together with its successors as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage referenced below, the “Collateral Trust Trustee”) under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust of the Company dated as of November 1, 2015 as the same may be supplemented and amended from time to time (the “Collateral Trust Mortgage”), to provide for the payment when due (whether at maturity, 











by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal and interest of the Securities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) to be issued from time to time under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.
Any payment by the Company under the Collateral Trust Mortgage of the principal of or interest on the Securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the Collateral Trust Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the Collateral Trust Trustee of bonds of the Ninety-first Series (other than by application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such bonds) shall, to the extent of such payment, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of,  or interest on such bonds, as the case may be, which is then due. 
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds of the Ninety-first Series as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that interest or principal due and payable on any Securities issued under the Collateral Trust Mortgage has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment. 
(I) Each holder of a bond of the Ninety-first Series consents that the bonds of the Ninety-first Series may be redeemed at the option of the Company or pursuant to the requirements of the Mortgage in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, without notice provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, in each case, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption by the Company in a notice delivered to the Trustee and to the holder of the bonds to be redeemed on or before the date fixed for redemption.
The bonds of the Ninety-first Series shall be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee (i) delivered to the Trustee and the Company, (ii) signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, (iii) stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Collateral Trust Mortgage and that, as a result, there then is due and payable a specified amount with respect to the Securities Outstanding under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, for the payment of which the Collateral Trust Trustee has not received funds, and (iv) specifying the principal amount of the bonds of the Ninety-first Series to be redeemed.  Delivery of such notice shall constitute a waiver by the Collateral Trust Trustee of notice of redemption under the Mortgage. 
(II) The bonds of the Ninety-first Series shall not be transferable by the Collateral Trust Trustee, except to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.  Bonds of this series so transferable to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage may be transferred by the registered owner thereof, in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner prescribed in the Mortgage.  
At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Ninety-first Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the Ninety-first Series of other authorized denominations.
Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Ninety-first Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of said Series.











(III) Upon the delivery of this Eighty-seventh Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, there shall be an initial issue of bonds of the Ninety-first Series for the aggregate principal amount of $240,000,000.  Additional bonds of the Ninety-first Series, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the Outstanding bonds of the Ninety-first Series (except for the issue date and, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date) may be issued by the Company, subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, without notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the bonds of the Ninety-first Series.
ARTICLE II


CONSENT TO AMENDMENTS


SECTION 2Each initial and future holder of bonds of the Ninety-first Series, by its acquisition of an interest in such Bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendment set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Article II of the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.

EXHIBIT A






This Bond is not transferable except to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage (as defined below) between Entergy Louisiana, LLC and the Collateral Trust Trustee (as defined below).  This Bond is a Class A Bond (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) issued under the ELL Mortgage (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage).
(TEMPORARY REGISTERED BOND)
ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC
First Mortgage Bond, 2.40% Series due October 1, 2026
                 
TR-    $________
ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC, a limited liability company of the State of Texas (hereinafter called the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, as trustee under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust of the Company dated as of November 1, 2015 (as the same may be supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Collateral Trust Mortgage”), or its successor as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, on October 1, 2026, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,


in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts, and to pay to the registered owner hereof interest thereon from October 4, 2016, if the date of this bond is prior to April 1, 2017, or if the date of this bond is on or after April 1, 2017, from the April 1 or October 1 immediately preceding the date of this bond to which interest has been paid on the bonds of this series (unless the date hereof is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case from the date hereof), at the rate of 2.40% per annum in like coin or currency at said office or agency on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2017 until the principal of this bond shall have become due and payable, and to pay interest on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the rate of 6% per annum.   Interest hereon shall be paid to the Person in whose name this bond is registered.
Interest on the bonds of this series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the maturity date of any bond of this series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.
This bond is a temporary bond and 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, 2.40% Series due October 1, 2026, all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except insofar 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 the Company’s Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indenture supplemental thereto, 











including the Eighty-seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 15, 2016, called the “Mortgage”), dated as of April 1, 1944, executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon, successor trustee (the “Trustee”).  Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are and are to be secured, the circumstances under which additional bonds may be issued and the rights of the Company to amend the Mortgage without any consent or other action by the holders of any series of bonds (including this series).  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 the rights of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage may be modified or altered by such affirmative vote or votes of the holders of bonds then outstanding as are specified in the Mortgage. Each initial and future holder of the bonds of this series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article II of the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.
The bonds of this series shall be issued by the Company, registered in the name of and delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, or its successor as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage (collectively, the “Collateral Trust Trustee”), to provide for the payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal and interest of the Securities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) to be issued from time to time under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.
Any payment by the Company under the Collateral Trust Mortgage of the principal of or interest on the Securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the Collateral Trust Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the Collateral Trust Trustee of bonds of this series (other than by application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such bonds) shall, to the extent of such payment, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of,  or interest on such bonds, as the case may be, which is then due. 
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on this bond as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that interest or principal due and payable on any Securities issued under the Collateral Trust Mortgage has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment. 
The holder of this bond hereby consents that the bonds of this series may be redeemable at the option of the Company or pursuant to the requirements of the Mortgage in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to the maturity date, without notice provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, in each case, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption by the Company in a notice delivered to the Trustee and to the holder of the bonds to be redeemed on or before the date fixed for redemption.
The bonds of this series shall be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to the maturity date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee (i) delivered to the Trustee and the Company, (ii) signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, (iii) stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Collateral Trust Mortgage and that, as a result, there then is due and payable a specified amount with respect to the Securities Outstanding under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, for the payment of which the Collateral Trust Trustee has not received funds, and (iv) specifying the principal amount of the bonds of this series to be redeemed.  Delivery of such notice shall constitute a waiver by the Collateral Trust Trustee of notice of redemption under the Mortgage.











The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to the maturity date hereinbefore named on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a default as in the Mortgage provided.
This bond is not transferable except to any successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, any such transfer to be made in the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, together with a written instrument of transfer whenever required by the Company duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, and thereupon a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage.  
The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, any bonds of this series, upon surrender thereof, for cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.  
Upon any transfer or exchange of bonds of this series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of this series. 
In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, this temporary bond is exchangeable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, without charge, for a definitive bond or bonds of the same series of a like aggregate principal amount when such definitive bonds are prepared and ready for delivery.
As provided in the Mortgage, the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of any series for a period of ten days next preceding any interest payment date for bonds of said series, or next preceding any designation of bonds of said series to be redeemed, and the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of any bonds designated in whole or in part for redemption.
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 being released by the holder or 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 The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Mortgage, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of authentication certificate endorsed hereon.
