SECTION 1.  There is hereby
created one series of bonds (the “2050 Bonds” or the “Bonds”) designated as hereinabove provided, which
shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond”, and the form thereof shall be substantially as hereinbefore
set forth. The 2050 Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000,000, shall mature on August 15, 2050 and
shall be issued only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The serial numbers of the 2050 Bonds shall be such as may be approved by any officer of the Company, the execution thereof
by any such officer either manually or by facsimile signature to be conclusive evidence of such approval. The 2050 Bonds shall
bear interest at the rate per annum, until the principal thereof is paid or duly made available for payment, specified in the title
thereto, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 in each year, commencing February 15, 2020. Interest on
the Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The principal of and the premium,
if any, and the interest on said bonds shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time
of payment is legal tender for public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in the City of New York, designated
for that purpose. Additional 2050 Bonds, without limitation as to amount (except as provided in the Indenture), and without the
consent of the holders of the then outstanding 2050 Bonds, but with the same terms as such outstanding 2050 Bonds (except the issue
price and the issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and the initial interest payment date), may be authenticated
and delivered in the manner provided in the Indenture, and any such additional 2050 Bonds would constitute a single series with
such outstanding 2050 Bonds.


 


SECTION 2.


 


SECTION 2.01.  Form of Bonds.


 


The 2050 Bonds shall
be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Bonds in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons
with the global securities legend appearing in the form of 2050 Bond hereinbefore set forth endorsed thereon (a “Global Bond”),
which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Bonds represented thereby with the Trustee, at its corporate trust
office, as securities custodian (or with such other securities custodian as the Depository (as defined below) may direct), and
registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the
Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Bonds may from time to time be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided. The depository for
the Global Bonds shall be The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation, or its duly appointed successor (the “Depository”).
This Section 2.01 shall apply only to a Global Bond deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.


 


The Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall, in the case of each of the 2050 Bonds in accordance with this Section 2.01, authenticate and deliver initially
one or more Global Bonds for the 2050 Bonds which (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository
and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instructions or held by the Trustee
as securities custodian.

in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global
Bond held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the securities custodian or under such Global Bond, and the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such
Global Bond for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or
any agent of the Company from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository
or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the
exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Bond.


 


Except as provided in
this Section 2.01, Section 2.02 or Section 2.03, owners of beneficial interests in Global Bonds shall not be entitled to receive
physical delivery of certificated Bonds.


 


SECTION 2.02.  Transfer and
Exchange.


 


(a)            Transfer and Exchange of Global Bonds.


 


(i)             The transfer and exchange of Global Bonds or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance
with this Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of
the Depository therefor.


 


(ii)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.03),
a Global Bond may not be transferred as a whole or in part except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee
of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.


 


(b)            Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Bond. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Bond have either
been exchanged for certificated Bonds, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Bond shall be canceled by the Trustee. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Bond is exchanged for certificated Bonds, redeemed, purchased
or canceled, the principal amount of Bonds represented by such Global Bond shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on
the books and records of the securities custodian with respect to such Global Bond.


 


(c)            
Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Bonds.


 


(i)             To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate certificated
Bonds and Global Bonds at the security registrar’s request.

    	 	11	 



     


    

 


(iii)           Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Bond, the Company, the Trustee, the paying agent or the
security registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Bond is registered as the absolute owner of such Bond for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to the record date provisions of the Bonds) interest
on such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee,
the paying agent or the security registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


(iv)           All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall
be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.


 


(d)            No Obligation of Trustee.


 


(i)             The Trustee (whether in its capacity as Trustee or otherwise) shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial
owner of a Global Bond, Agent Member or other person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee
or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member,
beneficial owner or other person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment
of any amount, under or with respect to such Bonds. All notices and communications to be given to the holders and all payments
to be made to holders under the Bonds shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be
the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Bond). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Bond shall be exercised
only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be
fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners.


 


(ii)            The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on
transfer imposed under this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Bond (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Bond) other than to require delivery
of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required
by, the terms of the Indenture.


 


SECTION 2.03.  Certificated
Bonds.


 


(a)             A Global Bond deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as securities custodian pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be
transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Global Bond, in exchange for such Global Bond, only if such transfer complies with and is permitted by this Section
2.03 and complies with the conditions set forth in Article II of the Indenture.


 






    	 	12	 



     


    

 


(b)              Any Global Bond that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be surrendered
by the Depository to the Trustee at its corporate trust office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without
charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Bond, an equal aggregate
principal amount of certificated Bonds of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Bond transferred pursuant to this Section
2.03 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct.


 


(c)              Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(b), the registered holder of a Global Bond shall be entitled to grant proxies
and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take
any action which such holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Bonds.


 


(d)              If the Depository at any time is unwilling or unable to continue as a depository, defaults in the performance of its duties
as depository or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other applicable statute
or regulation, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue Bonds in definitive
form in exchange for the global securities relating to the Bonds. In addition, the Company may at any time and in its sole discretion
and subject to the Depository’s procedures determine not to have the Bonds or portions of the Bonds represented by one or
more global securities and, in that event, will issue individual Bonds in exchange for the global security or securities representing
such Bonds. Further, if the Company so specifies with respect to the Bonds, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security
representing the Bonds may, on terms acceptable to the Company and the depositary for the global security, receive individual Bonds
in exchange for the beneficial interest. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled
to physical delivery in definitive form of Bonds represented by the global security equal in principal amount to the beneficial
interest, and to have the Bonds registered in its name. Bonds so issued in definitive form will be issued as registered Bonds in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.


 


SECTION 3.  Any or all
of the 2050 Bonds may be redeemed by the Company at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to
maturity. The redemption price for any such 2050 Bonds being redeemed on any redemption date prior to the Par Call Date (as defined
below) shall be equal to the greater of the following amounts: (i) 100% of the principal amount of such 2050 Bonds being redeemed
on the redemption date or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on
such 2050 Bonds being redeemed on such redemption date that would be due if such 2050 Bonds matured on the Par Call Date (not including
any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis
at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 20 basis points, as determined by a Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined
below) appointed by the Company for such purpose, plus, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on such 2050 Bonds being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. The redemption price for any such 2050 Bonds being
redeemed on any redemption date on or after the Par Call Date will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 2050 Bonds
being redeemed on the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such 2050 Bonds being redeemed to, but not
including, the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury
Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by a Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for such purpose

for this purpose that such 2050 Bonds matured on the Par Call Date).


 


“Comparable Treasury
Price” means, with respect to any applicable redemption date, (i) if the Company obtains three or more Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations (as defined below), the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after

preceding such redemption date.


 


In connection with any
redemption of the 2050 Bonds prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall give the Trustee notice of the redemption price promptly
after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation.


 






    	 	14	 



     


    

 


If less than all of the
2050 Bonds are to be redeemed and (i) the 2050 Bonds are in global form, the interests in the 2050 Bonds to be redeemed shall be
selected for redemption by The Depository Trust Company in accordance with The Depository Trust Company’s standard procedures
therefor, or (ii) the 2050 Bonds are in definitive form, the Trustee shall select the 2050 Bonds to be redeemed by lot, on a pro
rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems appropriate and fair. Notice of redemption shall be delivered not less than 10
nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of the 2050 Bonds to be redeemed (which, as long as
the 2050 Bonds are held in the book-entry only system, will be The Depository Trust Company (or its nominee) or a successor depositary

not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of the 2050 Bonds as to which there shall have been no such failure
or defect. On and after the date fixed for redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the 2050 Bonds or portions
thereof to be redeemed at the applicable redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not
including, such date), interest on the 2050 Bonds or the portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue.

issued under the Indenture, to make such amendments to the Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend
Section 17.02 to read as follows:


 


SECTION 17.02.  With the consent

outstanding of each series the rights of the holders of which are affected, voting together, the Company, when authorized by a
resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of
any supplemental indenture or modifying the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of any of the bonds
and coupons; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (1) extend the maturity of any of the bonds or reduce
the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the amount of the principal thereof, or reduce any premium
payable on the redemption thereof, without the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, or (2) permit the creation of any
lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture, without the consent of the holders of all
the bonds then outstanding, or (3) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are required
to approve any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all the bonds then outstanding. For the purposes
of this Section, bonds shall be deemed to be affected by a supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture adversely affects
or diminishes the rights of holders thereof against the Company or against its property. The Trustee may in its discretion determine
whether or not, in accordance with the foregoing, bonds of any particular series would be affected by any supplemental indenture
and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the holders of bonds of such series and all other series. Subject to the provisions
of Sections 16.02 and 16.03 hereof, the Trustee shall not be liable for any determination made in good faith in connection herewith.


 






    	 	15	 



     


    

 


Upon the
written request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon
the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of bondholders as aforesaid (the instrument or instruments evidencing such
consent to be dated within one year of such request), the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental
indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture.


 


It shall
not be necessary for the consent of the bondholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


 


The Company
and the Trustee, if they so elect, and either before or after such consent has been obtained, may require the holder of any bond
consenting to the execution of any such supplemental indenture to submit his bond to the Trustee or to ask such bank, banker or
trust company as may be designated by the Trustee for the purpose, for the notation thereon of the fact that the holder of such
bond has consented to the execution of such supplemental indenture, and in such case such notation, in form satisfactory to the
Trustee, shall be made upon all bonds so submitted, and such bonds bearing such notation shall forthwith be returned to the persons
entitled thereto.


 


Prior to
the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Company
shall publish a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, at least once in one daily
newspaper of general circulation in each city in which the principal of any of the bonds shall be payable, or, if all bonds outstanding
shall be registered bonds without coupons or coupon bonds registered as to principal, such notice shall be sufficiently given if
mailed, first class, postage prepaid, and registered if the Company so elects, to each registered holder of bonds at the last address
of such holder appearing on the registry books, such publication or mailing, as the case may be, to be made not less than thirty
days prior to such execution. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

and amended as above set forth, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

assumes no responsibility for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Indenture as
hereby supplemented or the due execution hereof by the Company or for or in respect of the recitals and statements contained herein
(other than those contained in the tenth and eleventh recitals hereof), all of which recitals and statements are made solely by
the Company.


 


SECTION 9.  This Supplemental
Indenture may 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.


 


SECTION 10.  If any interest
payment date or redemption date for the Bonds or the Stated Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest or
principal payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay). In the event the date of any notice required or permitted hereunder shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding
any other provision of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture thereto) such notice need not be made on such date, but may
be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date fixed for such notice. “Business
