ARTICLE II
ISSUE OF FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS OF THE 2.80% SERIES 
Section 1.The Company hereby exercises the right to obtain the authentication of $60,000,0000 principal amount of Bonds pursuant to the terms of Section 4.03 of the Indenture. All such Bonds shall be First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series.  
Section 2.Such First Mortgage Bonds may be authenticated and delivered prior to the filing for recordation of this Supplemental Indenture.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION 
Section 4.Whenever the Company shall propose to redeem less than all of the Outstanding First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series on any Redemption Date, the Bond Registrar, instead of selecting by lot, shall select the serial numbers of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series to be redeemed (in whole or in part) by prorating, as nearly as may be, the aggregate principal amount of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series to be redeemed among the Holders of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series according to the principal amount thereof registered in their respective names. In any such pro ration, the Bond Registrar shall make such adjustments, reallocations and eliminations as it shall deem proper to the end that the principal amount of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series so prorated to any Holder of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1 in excess thereof, by increasing or decreasing or eliminating the amount which would be allocable to any such Holder on the basis of exact proportion by an amount not exceeding $1. The Bond Registrar in its discretion may determine the particular First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series (if there are more than one) registered in the name of any Holder which are to be redeemed, in whole or in part.  In any determination by pro ration pursuant to this Section, First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series registered in the name of the Company shall not be considered Outstanding and shall be excluded in making the determination of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series to be redeemed.
Notice of redemption of any First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series shall be given as provided in Section 5.04 of the Original Indenture.  If given by mail, the mailing of such notice shall be a condition precedent to redemption, provided that any notice which is mailed in the manner provided in Section 5.04 of the Original Indenture shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holders receive such notice, and failure to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice, to the Holder of any such Bond designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the redemption of any other such Bond.
Except for the determination of the serial numbers of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series to be redeemed (in whole or in part) by pro ration as provided in this Section when less than all of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series are to be redeemed on any Redemption Date and except for the changes in the giving of notice of redemption as provided in this Section, the procedures for redemption of the First Mortgage Bonds shall be as provided in Article Five of the Original Indenture.

8-K Exhibit 4.1



Section 2.    Maturity.  As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series shall be due and payable on June 15, 2026.
Section 3.    Optional Redemption.  The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, redeem at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series in an amount not less than $1,000,000 in the case of a partial redemption, at (i) 100% of the principal amount so redeemed, and (ii) if the Redemption Date is earlier than March 15, 2026 the Make-Whole Amount determined for the redemption with respect to such principal amount.  The Company will give each holder of First Mortgage Bonds to be redeemed written notice of each optional redemption under this Section 3 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption.  Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the First Mortgage Bonds to be redeemed on such date, the principal amount of each First Mortgage Bond held by such Holder to be redeemed (determined in accordance with Article III Section 4), and the interest to be paid on the Redemption Date with respect to such principal amount being redeemed, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount, if any, due in connection with such redemption (calculated as if the date the Company provides notice of the redemption to the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Original Indenture were the date of the redemption), setting forth the details of such computation.  Two Business Days prior to such Redemption Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and to each Holder of First Mortgage Bonds to be redeemed a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount, if any, as of the specified Redemption Date.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any such calculation.
Section 4.    Allocation in the Event of Partial Redemption.  Subject to Article III, Section 1 above, in the case of each partial redemption of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series, the principal amount of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series to be redeemed shall be allocated among all of the First Mortgage Bonds of the 2.80% Series at the time Outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for redemption.
Section 5.    Maturity; Surrender, Etc.  In the case of each redemption of First Mortgage Bonds pursuant to this Article III, the principal amount of each First Mortgage Bond to be redeemed shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such redemption (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any.  From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue.  Any First Mortgage Bond paid or redeemed in full shall be surrendered to the Trustee and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no First Mortgage Bond shall be issued in lieu of any redeemed principal amount of any First Mortgage Bond.
Section 6.    Purchase of First Mortgage Bonds.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Original Indenture to the contrary, the Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the

8-K Exhibit 4.1



Outstanding First Mortgage Bonds except (a) upon the payment or redemption of the First Mortgage Bonds in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the Holders of all First Mortgage Bonds at the time Outstanding upon the same terms and conditions.  Any such offer shall provide each Holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days.  If the Holders of more than 10% of the principal amount of the First Mortgage Bonds then Outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining Holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by Holders of First Mortgage Bonds of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining Holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer.  The Company and the Trustee hereby agree that for each such Holder that accepts such offer, any consent given as a condition to acceptance of such offer by such Holder shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other Holders of First Mortgage Bonds that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder.  The Company will promptly cancel all First Mortgage Bonds acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or redemption of First Mortgage Bonds pursuant to any provision of the Indenture and no First Mortgage Bonds may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such First Mortgage Bonds, except pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Original Indenture.
Section 7.    Make-Whole Amount.  
“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any First Mortgage Bond, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such First Mortgage Bond over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.  For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:
“Called Principal” means, with respect to any First Mortgage Bond, the principal of such First Mortgage Bond that is to be redeemed pursuant to Article III Section 3.
“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any First Mortgage Bond, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such First Mortgage Bonds is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any First Mortgage Bond, .50% (50 basis points) over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued

8-K Exhibit 4.1



actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  
In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable First Mortgage Bond.
“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any First Mortgage Bond, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of such First Mortgage Bonds, then (solely for the purpose of determining the Remaining Scheduled Payments) the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Article III Section 3.
“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any First Mortgage Bond, the date on which such Called Principal is to be redeemed pursuant to Article III Section 3.
Section 8.    No Surrender.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 5.06 of the Original Indenture, the Holders shall not be required to surrender their First Mortgage Bonds in connection with a redemption under Section 5.06 of the Original Indenture as is contemplated by Article VI.
