THE FORTY-EIGHTH SERIES

Section 2.01. <u>Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series</u>. There shall be a series of bonds designated 5.05% Series due April 15, 2036 (herein sometimes referred to as the "***<u>Forty-eighth Series</u>***"), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title "First Mortgage Bond" as permitted by Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture. The form of bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall mature on April 15, 2036, and shall be issued only as fully registered bonds in denominations of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and, at the option of the Company, in integral multiples thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof). Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall bear interest at the rate of five and five one-hundredths per centum (5.05%) per annum (except as hereinafter provided), payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and at maturity or earlier redemption, the first interest payment to be made on October 15, 2026, for the period from the date of original issuance of the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series to, but not including, October 15, 2026, the principal of and premium, if any, 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, 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 Forty-eighth Series may, at the option of the Company, be paid by check mailed to the registered owners thereof. Overdue principal and overdue interest in respect of the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall bear interest (before and after judgment) at the rate of six and five one-hundredths per centum (6.05%) per annum (to the extent that payment of such interest on any overdue interest is not prohibited under applicable law). Interest on the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series in respect of a portion of a month shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed using a 30-day month. In any case where any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity of any bond of the Forty-eighth Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal 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 or 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 maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.

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

------

Section 2.02. <u>Optional Redemption of Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series</u>. Prior to January 15, 2036, (the "***<u>Par Call Date</u>***"), the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice, mailed not less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (each an "***<u>Optional Redemption Date</u>***"), at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) (an "***<u>Optional Redemption Price</u>***") equal to the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series being redeemed and interest thereon discounted to the Optional Redemption Date (assuming the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued thereon to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series being redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series being redeemed to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on not less than 10 days' notice prior to the Optional Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time, at an Optional Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date.

"***<u>Treasury Rate</u>***" means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Optional Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication) ("***<u>H.15</u>***") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("***<u>H.15 TCM</u>***"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Optional Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the "***<u>Remaining Life</u>***"); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life.

------

For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Optional Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Optional Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, or, if published, no longer contains the yields for nominal Treasury constant maturities, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Optional Redemption Date as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the Company shall select (a) the United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, subject to clause (3) below, or (b) if there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, then the United States Treasury security with the maturity date that is closest to the Par Call Date, subject to clauses (2) and (3) below, as applicable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if there is no United States Treasury security described in clause (1), but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with maturity dates equally distant from the Par Call Date, one or more with maturity dates preceding the Par Call Date and one or more with maturity dates following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding and closest to the Par Call Date, subject to clause (3) below; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) if there are two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding clauses (1) or (2), the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.

In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices of such United States Treasury security (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.

The Company's actions and determinations in determining the Optional Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

If, at the time notice of an optional redemption is given, the redemption monies are not held by the Trustee, the redemption may be made subject to the receipt of such monies before the date fixed for redemption, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such monies are so received.

Section 2.03. <u>Tax Credit Event Redemption</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall also be redeemable at the option of the Company in whole but not in part, upon not less than 10 days' notice prior to the date fixed for redemption, if a Tax Credit Event occurs with respect to the Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but not including the date fixed for redemption. A notice of redemption of the Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series upon the occurrence of a Tax Credit Event (i) may only be sent by the later of (a) the end of the calendar year in which the Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series were issued and (b) six months from the date of issuance of the Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series and (ii) shall be accompanied by a certificate of an officer of the Company stating that a Tax Credit Event has occurred.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A "Tax Credit Event" occurs with respect to the Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series if, in the reasonable determination of the Company, there exists a material risk, due to the Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series (considered together with other debt) having been issued, as part of an original issuance, to one or more "specified foreign entities," as defined in Section 7701(a)(51)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "***<u>Code</u>***"), that the Company or any of its affiliates would be unable to utilize or otherwise ineligible to claim any tax credits otherwise allowed under Section 38 of the Code.

If, at the time notice of a redemption upon a Tax Credit Event is given, the redemption monies are not held by the Trustee, the redemption may be made subject to the receipt of such monies before the date fixed for redemption, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such monies are so received.

Section 2.04. <u>Transfer and Exchange</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Forty-eighth Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall be transferable, upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, together with a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the registrar duly executed by the registered owner or by his or her duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon any such exchange or transfer of bonds of the Forty-eighth 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 2.05 of the Original Indenture, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any such exchange or transfer of bonds of the Forty-eighth Series.

Section 2.05. <u>Dating of Bonds and Interest Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each bond of the Forty-eighth Series shall be dated as of the date of authentication and shall bear interest from the last preceding interest payment date to which interest shall have been paid (unless the date of such bond is an interest payment date to which interest is paid, in which case from the date of such bond); provided that each bond of the Forty-eighth Series dated prior to October 15, 2026, shall bear interest from the date of original issuance; and provided, further, that if any bond of the Forty-eighth Series shall be authenticated and delivered upon a transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, any other bond or bonds of the Forty-eighth Series upon which interest is in default, it shall be dated so that such bond shall bear interest from the last preceding date to which interest shall have been paid on the bond or bonds in respect of which such bond shall have been delivered or from its date of original issuance, if no interest shall have been paid on the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, bonds of the Forty-eighth Series shall be dated so that the Person in whose name any bond of the Forty-eighth Series is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on the interest payment date, except if, and to the extent that, the Company shall have defaulted in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding bonds of the Forty-eighth Series are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

Section 2.06. <u>Additional Bonds of the Forty-eighth Series</u>. Upon the delivery of this Forty-fourth Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, there shall be an initial issue of bonds of the Forty-eighth Series for the aggregate principal amount of $650,000,000. Additional bonds of the Forty-eighth Series, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the Outstanding bonds of the Forty-eighth Series (except for the issue date, the price to public and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date) may be issued by the Company, subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the Indenture, as heretofore supplemented, without the notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the bonds of the Forty-eighth Series.

Section 2.07. <u>Release of Company upon Conveyance or Other Transfer</u>. In case the Company, as permitted by Section 15.01 of the Indenture, shall convey or transfer, subject to the Lien of the Indenture, all or substantially all the Mortgaged and Pledged Property as an entirety to a successor, the indenture described in Section 15.02 of the Indenture may also provide for the release and discharge of the Company from all obligations under any bonds of the Forty-eighth Series issued under the Indenture which are assumed by such successor.

This bond is one of a series of bonds of the Company issuable in series and is one of a duly authorized series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 5.05% Series due April 15, 2036 (herein called bonds of the Forty-eighth Series), all bonds of all series issued under and equally secured by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indenture supplemental thereto, including the Forty-fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2026, called the Mortgage), dated as of February 1, 1988, duly executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor Trustee.

In case the Company, as permitted by the Mortgage, shall convey or transfer, subject to the lien of the Mortgage, all or substantially all the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety to a successor, the Company may be released and discharged from all obligations under the bonds of this series which are assumed by such successor.

The bonds are issuable as registered bonds without coupons in the denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York, and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage, bonds may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of other authorized denominations, without payment of any charge other than a sum sufficient to reimburse the Company for any tax or other governmental charge incident thereto.

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.
