4. Representations. Recognizing that the Corporation will be relying on the information and on the representations and warranties set forth herein, you hereby acknowledge, represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Corporation to the representations and warranties set forth below, which shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and upon each date that you exercise the option.

 

(a)                      I represent and warrant that I am acquiring and will hold the option and the Shares received upon exercise of such option for investment for my account only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" of the option and the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act.

  

1

  

(b)                      I understand that the option and the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and that the option and the Shares must be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or I obtain an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required.

(c)                      I acknowledge that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the option or the Shares subject to the Option.

(d)                      I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. These conditions include (without limitation) that certain current public information about the issuer is available, that the resale occurs only after the holding period required by Rule 144 has been satisfied, and if I am an "affiliate" of the Corporation, that the sale occurs through an unsolicited "broker's transaction" and that the
amount of securities being sold during any three-month period does not exceed specified limitations.

(e)                      I will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the option and the Shares subject thereto in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any blue sky or state securities laws or regulations.

(f)                      I acknowledge that I have received and had access to such information as I consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the option, including without limitation, all filings made by the Corporation with the SEC, and the Shares subject thereto and that I had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the option and the Shares subject thereto.

(g)                      I am aware that my investment in the Company is speculative and subject to the risk of complete loss.

(h)                      I acknowledge that I am acquiring the option and the Shares subject thereto to all the terms of the Plan, the Notice of Grant and this Agreement.

5. Term. The term of this Option commences on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated as set forth below or in the Plan, terminates 5 years from the date it was granted.  This Option may terminate prior to the expiration of its term as set forth in the Plan.

 

6. Notice of Exercise. This Option may be exercised, to the extent specified above, by delivering written notice of exercise together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Corporation, or to such other person as the Corporation may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Corporation may then require pursuant to the Plan.  The notice must specify the number of shares to be purchased upon exercise and a date within 15 days after receipt of the notice by the Corporation on which the
purchase is to be completed.  The exercise price must be paid in cash.

7. Transferability. This Option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during your life only by you.  However, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, would be entitled to exercise this Option, by providing a written notice in a form satisfactory to the Secretary of the Corporation.

 

8. State Securities Laws. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Option, the Corporation may, in its reasonable discretion, determine that the registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Option is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the exercise of this Option.  If the Corporation makes such a determination, this Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such registration or qualification shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Corporation, in its reasonable discretion.  The Corporation shall use good faith reasonable efforts to obtain or effect such registration or qualification, but is not required to obtain or effect such registration or qualification.

 

9. Notices. Any notices provided for in this Option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Corporation to you, five days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address specified below or at such other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation.

 

10. Supremacy of the Plan. This Option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached, and its provisions are hereby made a part of this Option, including without limitation, the provisions of paragraph 6 of the Plan relating to option provisions.  This Option is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Option and those of the Plan,
the provisions of the Plan shall control.

 

11. Optionee Acknowledgments. By executing this Option, you acknowledge and agree as follows:

 

11.1. [if applicable - Although the Corporation has made a good faith attempt to qualify this Option as an “Incentive Stock Option” within the meaning of Code § 422, the Corporation does not warrant that this Option granted herein constitutes an “Incentive Stock Option” within the meaning of that section, or that the transfer of stock acquired pursuant to this Option will be treated for Federal Income Tax purposes as specified in Code § 421.]

 

11.2. You shall, from time to time, notify the Secretary of the Corporation in writing of each disposition (including a sale, exchange, gift, or a transfer of legal title) of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option, within three years after acquiring those shares. Such notification shall be in writing and shall be made within 15 days after each such disposition is made.

 

  

3

  

11.3. You understand that if, among other things, you dispose of shares of Common Stock granted to you pursuant to this Option within two years of the granting of this Option to you or within one year of the transfer of such shares to you, or you exercise this Option more than three months after termination of employment, then such shares will not qualify for the beneficial treatment which you might otherwise receive under Code §§ 421 and 422.

 

11.4. You further understand that upon exercise of this Option you may be subject to alternative minimum tax as a result of such exercise.

 

11.5. You and your transferees have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by this Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such shares.

 

11.6. The Corporation is not providing you with advice, warranties or representations regarding any of the legal or tax effects to you with respect to this grant.

 

11.7. You acknowledge that you are familiar with the terms of the grant made to you under this Option and the Plan, that you have been encouraged by the Corporation to discuss the grant and the Plan with your own legal and tax advisers, and that you agree to be bound by the terms of the grant and the Plan.

 

12. Withholding. You acknowledge that federal and state income and payroll tax may apply upon exercise of this Option.  If the Corporation determines, in its sole discretion, that withholding is required, you agree that such withholding may be accomplished with respect to the cash compensation (if any) due to you from the Corporation.  If withholding pursuant to the foregoing sentence is insufficient (in the sole judgment of the Corporation) to satisfy the full withholding obligation, you agree that you will pay over to the
Corporation the amount of cash or, if acceptable to the Corporation in its sole discretion, property with a value necessary to satisfy such remaining withholding obligation on the date this Option is exercised or at a time thereafter specified in writing by the Corporation.

 

13. Entire Agreement.  This Option and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained herein and they supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings of the parties.  No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Option shall be binding unless executed in writing by all of the parties.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Option shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not
similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.  No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.

 

14. Governing Law.  This Option shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Nevada and federal law, as applicable.

Sec. 1

Bonds redeemable before maturity

	
Section 1.  Such of the Bonds of any series issued hereunder as are, by their terms, redeemable before maturity may, at the option of the Company, be redeemed at such times, in such amounts and at such prices as may be specified therein and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2, 3, and 4 of this Article Ten.

	  
	
Sec. 2

Selection of Bonds by lot for partial redemption

	
Section 2.  In case the Company shall elect to redeem less than all the Bonds of any series then outstanding, it shall give to the Trustee adequate written notice in advance of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, and shall forthwith notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed.

	  
	
Notice of redemption

	
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 such Bonds) shall be given, by or on behalf of the Company, by publication for the period of time before the redemption date fixed by the Bonds to be redeemed, or if no such period be fixed, then at least once during each of four successive calendar weeks, upon any day in each calendar week, the first publication to be not less than thirty days and not more than

Art. Ten

Sec. 2

	  	
sixty days prior to the date of redemption, in one daily newspaper of general circulation, printed in the English language and published in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Whenever in this Indenture or in the Bonds issued hereunder publication is required to be made in a daily newspaper the word daily shall be deemed to include a newspaper customarily published at least six days a week. A copy of such notice shall also be mailed by or on behalf of the Company, not less than thirty days before the redemption date, 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 3.  On and after the date fixed for redemption, the notice of redemption having been completed by publication as above provided, and the necessary funds for redemption having been deposited with the Trustee before the redemption date, or the Company having irrevocably directed the Trustee to apply from money held by it available to be used for redemption of Bonds a sum of money sufficient to redeem such Bonds, said Bonds so called shall become due and payable at the principal trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

or that arrangements have been made insuring to the satisfaction of the Trustee that all necessary publications of such notice will be made or, in lieu of such arrangements, shall deliver to the Trustee a written instrument executed by the Company under its corporate seal and expressed to be irrevocable, authorizing the Trustee to cause all necessary publications of such notice to be made for and on behalf of the Company, and (c) pay to the Trustee the full amount of all costs, charges and expenses in relation thereto then payable to the Trustee, then, and in such event and notwithstanding any failure of any such publications, such Bonds shall be deemed to have been called for redemption and shall not be deemed to be outstanding under this Indenture for any purpose, except for the purpose of the receiving by the holders of such Bonds of payment of the redemption price thereof out of the moneys so deposited with the Trustee upon surrender of such Bonds and except as may be otherwise expressly provided in the indenture supplemental hereto providing for the creation of such Bonds. The Trustee shall apply such moneys so deposited with it to the payment from time to time of such Bonds at the redemption price thereof upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds with the requisite appurtenant coupons. Until paid out as aforesaid, the Trustee shall hold said moneys so deposited with it in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds so called for redemption and shall apply such moneys in payment at the redemption price of the Bonds so called for redemption, but shall in no event be liable beyond the amounts so deposited with it.

	  
	
Sec. 4

Section 4.  All moneys deposited by the Company with the Trustee under the provisions of this Article Ten for the redemption of Bonds or which the Company directs shall be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Bonds shall be held for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds so to be redeemed, and shall be paid to them respectively, upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds in bearer form or properly endorsed for transfer, with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing on and

Art. Ten

Sec. 4

	  	
after the redemption date. 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 shall cease to be  ntitled to the lien of this Indenture, and coupons for interest, if any, maturing subsequent to that day shall be void and as respects the Company’s liability thereon such Bonds and coupons shall be deemed to have been paid. If any serial number shall be drawn by the Trustee, at any selection by lot as in Section 2 of this Article Ten provided, which is endorsed upon any registered Bond without coupons of a denomination larger than one thousand dollars ($1,000), such registered bond shall be presented properly endorsed for transfer at or after the time fixed for the redemption of said Bond 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 registered Bonds without coupons of authorized denominations for the unpaid balance, if any, of the principal amount of the registered Bond without coupons so presented and surrendered shall be executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee without charge therefor. After the date fixed for such redemption, money having been deposited or its application having been directed as aforesaid, interest shall be payable only on the portion of said 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, and the Company shall be under no further liability with respect to the portion thereof so called for redemption.

	
Bonds to cease bearing interest after redemption date

	  	
Section 5.  At any time, upon the request of the Company, expressed by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Trustee shall apply all or any part of the cash held by it under any provision of this Indenture (except sinking fund moneys 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 des-

ignate, to the extent that such Bonds are available for such purchase, (a) at a price not exceeding the current redemption price of such Bonds as shall be by their terms redeemable before maturity, and the accrued interest thereon, or (b) in the case of Bonds not so redeemable, at a price not exceeding 110% of their principal amount and accrued interest if such Bonds bear interest at not exceeding 4% per annum, and, if such Bonds bear a higher rate of interest, at not exceeding a maximum price increased above said price of 110% by 3% of such principal amount for each 1/2% by which the interest rate exceeds said rate of 4% or at a price not exceeding such lower prices as the Company may designate in any such request. The Trustee may purchase such Bonds from the Company, provided that the Bonds so purchased shall have theretofore at some time been outstanding in the hands of the public. Before making any such purchase the Trustee, if requested by the Company, shall, by notice published once in each of four (4) successive calendar weeks (on any day of each week) in one daily newspaper of general circulation, printed in the English language and published in the Borough of Manhattan, 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 lowest price or prices asked therefor, and reasonable notice shall be given by the Trustee to the owner or owners of the Bonds whose proposals may be

	  
	
Trustee may advertise for written proposals

	
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. Should there be two or more proposals at the same price aggregating more than the amount which the Trustee has available for such purchases, after having accepted all proposals at lower prices, the Trustee shall use the amount so available, by acceptance of proposals, so as to acquire, as nearly as may be, the requisite amount of Bonds at the lowest cost possible, provided, however,

	  

  

72

  

	  	  	
Art. Ten

Sec. 5

	  	
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 shall 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 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.

	  
	  	
Upon the purchase of any Bonds by the Trustee as herein-above provided, the Trustee shall notify the Company, in writing, of such purchase, specifying the serial numbers and the principal amount of the Bonds purchased and the amount paid by the Trustee on such purchase (including accrued interest thereon); and the Company covenants that it will from time to time, upon the receipt by it of any such notice, forthwith pay to the Trustee an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the purchase price of said Bonds (including such accrued interest thereon) as specified in such notice exceeds the principal amount thereof, the amount so paid to the Trustee to be held by it subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash used by it in the purchase of said Bonds.

Sec. 3

Merger or acquisition of Trustee

	  	
In case any of the Bonds shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, any such successor trustee hereunder may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee hereunder, and deliver the Bonds so authenticated; and, in case any of the Bonds shall not have been authenticated, any such successor trustee hereunder may authenticate such Bonds either in the name of any predecessor trustee or in the name of such successor trustee, and in all cases such authentication shall have the same force and effect which it is anywhere in the 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 Irving Trust Company shall apply only to its successor, or successors, by merger or consolidation.

Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor trustee (or on the earlier date when the resignation of such predecessor trustee shall have become effective pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of this Article) the predecessor trustee shall cease to be trustee hereunder. After any such appointment, other than by the holders of Bonds, the person making such appointment shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be published once a week in each of four successive calendar weeks in a daily newspaper printed in the English language and published and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan in the City and State of New York; but any successor trustee so appointed shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a successor trustee appointed by the holders of Bonds in the manner above prescribed, if such appointment by such Bondholders shall have been made prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the first publication of such notice by the Company, or by such receivers, trustees or assignees.

appointment shall have been made, the resigning trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. If in any other proper case a successor trustee shall not be appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within three months after such appointment might have been made hereunder, the holder of any Bond or any retiring trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, in any such case, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

	  
	  	
Any successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor trustee and to the Company, or to the receivers, trustees, assignees or court appointing it, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor trustee with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but nevertheless on the written request of the Company or of any such receivers, trustees or assignees or of such successor trustee, such predecessor trustee, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to said successor trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee any other property and moneys held under this Indenture by such predecessor trustee.

sum of (1) any cash forming a part of such cost, (2) an amount equivalent to the fair market value in cash of any securities issued or delivered in payment therefor or for the acquisition thereof as of the date of such issue or delivery, and (3) the principal amount of any prior lien bonds outstanding against such property additions at the time of their acquisition unless the engineer’s certificate, hereinafter in subdivision (3) of Section 6 of this Article Five provided for, shall show that other property additions subject to the lien securing such prior lien bonds are then funded property as defined in Section 5 of Article One. The fair value to the Company of any such property additions shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof to the Company as of the time when such fair value is being determined, such fair value to be determined as if such property additions were free of prior liens, if any. The amount of funded property, the amount of the cost of any property additions and the then fair value thereof to the Company and the amount of retirements shall be determined for the purpose of this Section by the appropriate certificates provided for in Section 6 of this Article Five.”

(e) Subdivision (9) or Section 6 of Article Eve is hereby deleted.

	  
	  	
Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, the Company and the Trustee shall enter into a supplemental indenture which shall by amendment delete such references, adjust such enumera-

	  

  

172

  

	  	
tion of sections and paragraphs and make such changes in the First Mortgage as amended necessary to make it consistent with the amendments provided for in this Section 3.

Section 5.  Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, Section 3 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby amended by amending the first sentence of the third full paragraph of said Section to read as follows:

Section 6.  Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby amended by amending that part of the first sentence of the second paragraph thereof which precedes clause (b) to read as follows:

Company, signed by its President or a Vice-President, and (a) with respect to any payment under subdivision (1) above, upon receipt by the Trustee of such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five hereof to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis thereof, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company; or ...”

and

	  
	  	
(2)           if the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 need not state that the Company in not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage.

So long as any Bonds of Series Due 1984 shall be outstanding, any property additions used by the Company as the basis of a credit under this Section shall be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  
	
Company permitted to anticipate requirements of section

233

  

	  	
of Series Due 1984 with the Trustee in full satisfaction or in partial satisfaction of the requirements of this Section.

	  
	  	
The Trustee, upon receipt of cash pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall forthwith proceed to apply the same toward the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 1984 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the amount of cash deposited, on any securities exchange or in the open market or at private sale, at the price or prices most favorable to the Company in the judgment of the Trustee; provided, however, that no Bonds of Series Due 1984 shall be purchased at such price (including accrued interest and brokerage charges) that the cost thereof to the Company would exceed the principal amount of such Bonds of Series Due 1984 plus the interest accrued thereon from the interest date next preceding the date of purchase to a date forty (40) days after the data of such purchase.

	
Application by Trustee of cash deposited by Company under section

	  	
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company, at the time of paying to the Trustee any Improvement and Sinking Fund payment with respect to the Bonds of Series Due 1984, or at any time or from time to time thereafter, may, by an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice-President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, accompanied by a resolution, as defined in Section 3 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, authorizing or directing the Trustee to apply an amount therein specified to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 1984, direct the Trustee to apply such Improvement and Sinking Fund payment or any part thereof (not theretofore disbursed by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 1984 or required for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 1984 under offers or proposals theretofore accepted by the Trustee) to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 1984, and in such event the amount so specified is hereby required to be applied forthwith to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 1984.

Company may direct Trustee to apply payment to redemption of Bonds

  

234

  

	  	
principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount so specified, and within ten (10) days after the receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

	  
	
Redemption of Bonds with funds exceeding $50,000 on deposit for 90 days

In such case the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of Series Due 1984, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount of cash remaining on deposit with the Trustee pursuant to this Section, and shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portion thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

	  
	
Bonds delivered, purchased or redeemed under Section not to be reissued

	
Any Bonds of Series Due 1984 delivered to, or purchased or redeemed by, the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be reissued, and shall forthwith be canceled and periodically may be cremated by the Trustee and the Trustee shall thereupon deliver to the Company a certificate of such cancellation and cremation. So long as any Bonds of Series Due 1984 are outstanding, no Bonds of Series Due 1984 so delivered, purchased or redeemed and canceled shall be made the basis for the authentication and delivery of Bonds, or the withdrawal of cash or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be deposited with the Trustee under any provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

	  

  

235

Application by Trustee of cash deposited by Company under Section

	  	
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company, at the time of paying to the Trustee any Improvement and Sinking Fund payment with respect to the Bonds of Series Due 1993, or at any time or from time to time thereafter, may, by an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice-President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, accompanied by a regulation, as defined in Section 3 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, authorizing or directing the Trustee to apply an amount therein specified to tile redemption of Bonds of Series Due 1993, direct the Trustee to apply such Improvement and Sinking Fund payment or any part thereof (not theretofore disbursed by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 1993 or required for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 1993 under offers or proposals theretofore accepted by the Trustee) to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 1993, and in such event the amount so specified is hereby required to be applied forthwith to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 1993.

and

	  
	
and credit against annual deposit elected by Company

	
(2) if the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions us would be necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer's certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 need not state that the Company is not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage. If any property additions made the basis for a credit under this Section are subject to any prior liens, as defined in Section 6 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, then in order to ascertain the cost or then fair value to the Company (whichever shall be less) of such property additions, there shall be deducted from the cost or fair value thereof (computed as provided in Section 8 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, an amount equal to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (1662/3%) of the principal amount of said prior lien bonds (exclusive of any such outstanding prior lien bonds for the purchase, payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with the trustee or other holder of the mortgage or other lien securing much prior lien bonds), unless

	  

 

  

339

  

	  	
other property additions subject to the same prior liens shall theretofore have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds under Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of a credit under Section 6 of Article One of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh or Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, or this Section 6, or of a deduction under Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of the withdrawal of cash or the release of property under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

Section 6.  So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2000 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as an Improvement and Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1972, an amount in cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2000 equal in the aggregate to one per centum (1%) of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2000 theretofore outstanding at any one time less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2000 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended); provided, however, that there shall be credited against the amount of cash and/or principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2000 so required to be deposited with the Trustee an amount equal to sixty per centum (60%) of the cost or fair value (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, of property additions, as defined in Section 4 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, which shall not then be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, and which the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section.

(ii)           the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2000 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 3 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight

and

	  
	
and credit against annual deposit elected by Company

	
(2)          if the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 need not state that the Company is not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage.  If any property additions made the basis for a credit under this Section are subject to any prior liens, as defined in Section 6 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, then in order to ascertain the cost or then fair value to the Company (whichever shall be less) of such property additions, there shall be deducted from the cost or fair value thereof (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, an amount equal to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (1662/3%) of the principal amount of said prior lien bonds (exclusive of any such outstanding prior lien bonds for the purchase, payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with the trustee or other holder of the mortgage or other lien securing such prior lien bonds), unless other property additions subject to the same prior liens shall theretofore have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds under Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of a credit under Section 6 of Article One of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth or Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture,

So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2000 shall be outstanding, any property additions used by the Company as the basis of a credit under this Section shall be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage us heretofore and hereby amended.

	
Property additions used for credit shall be “funded property”

	  	
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall be permitted from time to time to anticipate in whole or in part the requirements of this Section becoming due on April 30 of the then current year or any subsequent year or years, by depositing cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2000 with the Trustee in full satisfaction or in partial satisfaction of the requirements of this Section.

	
Company permitted to anticipate requirements of Section

redeem any of the Bonds of Series Due 2001 prior to August 1, 1976, directly or indirectly, as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness bears an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of less than 8.15% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption prior to August 1, 1976, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirements of this proviso).

The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made.

	  
	  	
In connection with redemption, the term “proceeds of released property” as used in this Section shall mean cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended and applied to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2003 pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

There shall be a series of Bonds designated “8% Series Due 2003” (hereinafter referred to as the Bonds of Series Due 2003), each of which shall bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond.  The aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003 which may be outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended and this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $40,000,000, except as provided in Section 9 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended.

Section 2. Upon the execution and delivery of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture and upon delivery to the Trustee of $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003, executed by the Company, and upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Article Seven of the First Mortgage as amended, the Trustee shall, without awaiting the filing or recording of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, authenticate said Bonds and deliver said Bonds as provided in said Article Seven.

On presentation of any Bond of Series Due 2003 which is to be redeemed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of this Article One in part only, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds of such Series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so presented.

days next preceding any selection of Bonds of such Series to be re-deemed or (b) register a transfer of, or exchange, any Bond of such Series which shall have been selected for redemption in whole or in part.

	  
	  	
A service charge will not be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of Bonds of Series Due 2003, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

	  
	  	
Until definitive Bonds of Series Due 2003 shall be ready for delivery, the Company may execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Bonds but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions except as to the denominations thereof, temporary printed or lithographed Bonds of Series Due 2003 as provided in Section 8 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended.  Such temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds, when ready for delivery, in the manner provided in the First Mortgage as amended, and shall in all other respects be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage as amended as therein provided.

and without premium if redeemed on or after November 1, 2002;

	  
	  	
provided, however, that the Company, in instances where the regular redemption premium would be applicable, shall not have the right to redeem any of the Bonds of Series Due 2003 prior to November 1, 1978, directly or indirectly, as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding

	  

  

429

  

 

	  	
operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness bears an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of less than 8% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption prior to November 1, 1978, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s Certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirements of this proviso).

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond of Series Due 2003 may, if the Company so agrees with the registered holder thereof (or the person for whom such registered holder is a nominee if such person has filed with the Trustee a certificate to the effect that such registered holder is such person’s nominee), be made by the Trustee, or by any other payment agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee if there shall have been filed with the Trustee a written undertaking, for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Company, that such registered holder (a) will make notations on such Bond of Series Due 2003 of the portions thereof so redeemed; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect, at any reasonable time, such notations (and, in default of such notations having been made, to make such notations); and (c) will not dispose of such Bond of Series Due 2003 or any interest thereon unless, prior to the delivery thereof, such Bond either shall have been presented to the Trustee for appropriate notation (or confirmation of notation) thereon of the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been redeemed or shall have been surrendered to the Trustee in exchange for a new Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2003 aggregating the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond.  The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made.

	  
	  	
In connection with redemption, the term “proceeds of released property” as used in this Section shall mean cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended and applied to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2003 pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  
	  	
Except as in this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of

	  

  

430

  

	  	
Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the Bonds of Series Due 2003 at any time outstanding.

	  
	  	
Section 6.  So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2003 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as an Improvement and Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1975, an amount in cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003 equal in the aggregate to one per centum (1%) of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003 theretofore outstanding at any one time less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2003 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended); provided, however, that there shall be credited against the amount of cash and/or principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003 so required to be deposited with the Trustee an amount equal to sixty per centum (60%) of the cost or fair value (computed as provided in Section 8 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, of property additions, as defined in Section 4 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, which shall not then be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, and which the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section.

	  
	  	
On or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1975, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee

	  
	  	
(1) a Treasurer’s certificate which shall state:

	  
	  	
(i) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003 theretofore outstanding at any one time; and

	  
	  	
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2003 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the

	  

  

431

  

	  	
provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended) prior to the date of such Treasurer’s certificate;

and

	  
	  	
(2) if the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be then necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 need not state that the Company is not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage.  If any property additions made the basis for a credit under this Section are subject to any prior liens, as defined in Section 6 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, then in order to ascertain the cost or then fair value to the Company (whichever shall be less) of such property additions, there shall be deducted from the cost or fair value thereof (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, an amount equal to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (1662/3%) of the principal amount of said prior lien bonds (exclusive of any such outstanding prior lien bonds for the purchase, payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with the Trustee or other holder of the mortgage or other lien securing such prior lien bonds), unless other property additions subject to the same prior liens shall theretofore have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds under Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of a credit under Section 6 of Article One of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,

	  

  

432

  

	  	
Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth or Fifteenth Supplemental Indentures, or this Section 6, or of a deduction under Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of the withdrawal of cash or the release of property under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  
	  	
So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2003 shall be outstanding, any property additions used by the Company as the basis of a credit under this Section shall be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall be permitted from time to time to anticipate in whole or in part the requirements of this Section becoming due on April 30 of the then current year or any subsequent year or years, by depositing cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003 with the Trustee in full satisfaction or in partial satisfaction of the requirements of this Section.

	  
	  	
The Trustee, upon receipt of cash pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall forthwith proceed to apply the same toward the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2003 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the amount of cash deposited, on any securities exchange or in the open market or at private sale, at the price or prices most favorable to the Company in the judgment of the Trustee; provided, however, that no Bonds of Series Due 2003 shall be purchased at such a price (including accrued interest and brokerage charges) that the cost thereof to the Company would exceed the prin-cipal amount of such Bonds of Series Due 2003 plus the interest accrued thereon from the interest date next preceding the date of purchase to a date forty (40) days after the date of such purchase.

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company, at the time of paying to the Trustee any Improvement and Sinking Fund payment with respect to the Bonds of Series Due 2003, or at any time or from time to time thereafter, may, by an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice-President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, accompanied by a resolution, as defined in Section 3 of Article One

	  

  

433

  

	  	
of the First Mortgage as amended, authorizing or directing the Trus-tee to apply an amount therein specified to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2003, direct the Trustee to apply such Improvement and Sinking Fund payment or any part thereof (not theretofore disbursed by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2003 or re-quired for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2003 under offers or proposals theretofore accepted by the Trustee) to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2003, and in such event the amount so specified is hereby required to be applied forthwith to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2003.  Upon receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution, the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of Series Due 2003, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount so specified, and within ten (10) days after the receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed.  The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, if moneys in excess of the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section (except moneys which have theretofore been set aside for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2003 or for the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2003 called for redemption) shall have remained on deposit for a period of ninety (90) days, such moneys so remaining on deposit shall promptly thereafter be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2003.  In such case the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of Series Due 2003, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount of cash remaining on deposit with the Trustee pursuant to this Section, and shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed.  The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

	  
	  	
Any Bonds of Series Due 2003 delivered to, or purchased or redeemed by, the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be reissued, and shall forthwith be canceled and periodically may be cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall thereupon deliver to the Company a certificate of such cancellation and cremation or destruction.  So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2003

	  

  

434

  

	  	
are outstanding, no Bonds of Series Due 2003 so delivered, purchased or redeemed and canceled shall be made the basis for the authentication and delivery of Bonds, or the withdrawal of cash or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be deposited with the Trustee under any provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture.

	  
	  	
Upon the purchase or redemption by the Trustee of any Bonds of Series Due 2003 pursuant to the provisions of this Section:

	  
	  	
(A)  The Company shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to all interest to the date of purchase or redemption, as the case may be, on all the Bonds of Series Due 2003 so purchased or redeemed, together with cash in the amount, if any, by which the aggregate purchase or redemption price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Bond of Series Due 2003 purchased or redeemed.  The cost of all advertising or publishing and all brokerage charges shall be paid by the Company, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall forthwith be paid to it by the Company upon demand.

	  
	  	
(B)  The Trustee shall pay to or upon the order of the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, from any moneys deposited with the Trustee under this Section, an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2003 purchased exceeds the aggregate purchase price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee for such Bonds of Series Due 2008.

ARTICLE ONE.

Bonds of 10.70% Series Due 2005 and Issue Thereof.

Section 1. There shall be a series of Bonds designated “10.70% Series Due 2005” (hereinafter referred to as the Bonds of Series Due 2005), each of which shall bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond. The aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2005 which may be outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended and this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $45,000,000, except as provided in Section 9 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended.

The Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be in registered form only and such Bonds and the Trustee’s certificate to be endorsed on all the Bands of Series Due 2005 shall respectively be substantially in the forms of the registered First Mortgage Bonds, 3% Series Due 1984, and the Trustee’s certificate to be endorsed thereon, set forth in the recitals of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, with the exception that certain parts of the text of the Bond will appear on the back of the Bond rather than on the face, with modifications of the provisions respecting the payment of interest as permitted by Section 1(f) of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended, and with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations in the provisions with respect to, among other things, the descriptive title, the interest rate, redemption prices, dates of issue, maturity and interest payments in order to reflect the terms and provisions of the First Mortgage Bonds, 10.70% Series Due 2005, as in the First Mortgage as amended and in this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture provided or permitted.

Section 2. Upon the execution and delivery of this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture and upon delivery to the Trustee of $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2005, executed by the Company, and upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Article Seven of the First Mortgage as amended, the Trustee shall, without awaiting the filing or recording of this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture, authenticate said Bonds and deliver said Bonds as provided in said Article Seven.

	  

  

455

  

	  	
Section 3. The Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be dated as provided in Section 3 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended; shall mature August 1, 2005; shall bear interest as provided in said Section 3 of Article Two at the rate of ten and seventy hundredths per centum (10.70%) per annum until paid or redeemed as hereinafter provided, payable on February 1, 1976, and thereafter semi-annually on each February 1 and August 1, to the Bondholders in whose names such Bonds of Series Due 2005 are registered at the close of business on January 15 or July 15, as the case may be, next preceding such February 1 or August 1, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of any instalment of interest on any Bonds of Series Due 2005, such interest in default shall be paid to the Bondholders in whose names the Bonds of Series Due 2005 are registered at the close of business on a date established for the payment of such defaulted interest by the Company in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Bonds may be listed; and shall be payable as to both principal and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

Section 4. Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be issued in the denominations of $1,000 and any multiple of $1,000.

Whenever any Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in said Borough of Manhattan for exchange for a Bond or Bonds of such Series of other authorized denomination or denominations, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon cancellation of the Bond or Bonds so surrendered, a Bond or Bonds of such Series of such other authorized denomination or denominations of like aggregate principal amount as the Bondholder making the exchange shall have requested and shall be entitled to receive. On presentation of any Bond of Series Due 2005 which is to be redeemed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of this Article One in part only, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds of such Series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so presented.

The Company shall not be required to (a) register a transfer of, or exchange, any Bond of Series Due 2003 during a period of fifteen (15)

	  

  

456

  

	  	
days next preceding any selection of Bonds of such Series to be redeemed or (b) register a transfer of, or exchange, any Bond of such Series which shall have been selected for redemption in whole or in part.

A service charge will not be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of Bonds of Series Due 2005, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Until Definitive Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be ready for delivery, the Company may execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Bonds but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions except as to the denominations thereof, temporary printed or lithographed Bonds of Series Due 2005 as provided in Section 8 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended. Such temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds, when ready for delivery, in the manner provided in the First Mortgage as amended, and shall in all other respects be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage as amended as therein provided.

Section 5. Bonds of Series Due 2005 may be redeemed, prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, in the manner provided in Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, as a whole at any time, or (so long as the Company is not in default in the payment of interest on the Bonds of Series Due 2005 or in the making of payments to the Improvement and Sinking Fund referred to in Section 6 of this Article One) in part from time to time, at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, together, if redeemed otherwise than by the operation of said Improvement and Sinking Fund or the Maintenance and Replacement Fund provisions referred to in Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, and otherwise than by the use of proceeds of released property (as hereinafter in this Section defined), with a premium equal to a percentage of the principal amount thereof determined as set forth in the tabulation below under the heading “Regular Redemption Premium”, and, if redeemed by the operation of such Improvement and Sinking Fund or Maintenance and Replacement Fund provisions, or by the use of proceeds of released property (as so defined), with a premium equal to a percentage of the principal amount

and without premium if redeemed on or after August 1, 2004;

provided, however, that the Company, in instances where the regular redemption premium would be applicable, shall not have the right to redeem any of the Bonds of Series Due 2005 prior to August 1, 1985, directly or indirectly, as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding

operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness bears an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of less than 10.70% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption prior to August 1, 1980, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirements of this proviso).

Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond of Series Due 2005 may, if the Company so agrees with the registered holder thereof (or the person for whom such registered holder is a nominee if such person has filed with the Trustee a certificate to the effect that such registered holder is such person’s nominee), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee if there shall have been filed with the Trustee a written undertaking, for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Company, that such registered holder (a) will make notations on such Bonds of Series Due 2005 of the portions thereof so redeemed; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect, at any reasonable time, such notations (and, in default of such notations having been made, to make such notations); and (c) will not dispose of such Bond of Series Due 2005 or any interest thereon unless, prior to the delivery thereof, such Bond either shall have been presented to the Trustee for appropriate notation (or confirmation of notation) thereon of the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been redeemed or shall have been surrendered to the Trustee in exchange for a new Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2005 aggregating the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made.

In connection with redemption, the term “proceeds of released property” as used in this Section shall mean cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended and applied to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2005 pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

Except as in this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the

	  

  

459

  

	  	
case of the redemption of all or any part of the Bonds of Series Due 2005 at any time outstanding.

Section 6. So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as an Improvement and Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1977, an amount in cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2005 equal in the aggregate to one per centum (1%) of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2005 theretofore outstanding at any one time less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2005 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended); provided, however, that there shall be credited against the amount of cash and/or principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2005 so required to be deposited with the Trustee an amount equal to sixty per centum (60%) of the cost or fair value (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, of property additions, as defined in Section 4 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, which shall not then be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, and which the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section.

On or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1977, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee

(1) a Treasurer’s certificate which shall state:

(i) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2005 theretofore outstanding at any one time; and

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2005 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight

	  

  

460

  

	  	
of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended) prior to the date of such Treasurer’s certificate;

and

(2) if the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be then necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 need not state that the Company is not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage. If any property additions made the basis for a credit under this Section are subject to any prior liens, as defined in Section 6 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, then in order to ascertain the cost or then fair value to the Company (whichever shall be less) of such property additions, there shall be deducted from the cost or fair value thereof (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, an amount equal to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (1662/3%) of the principal amount of said prior lien bonds (exclusive of any such outstanding prior lien bonds for the purchase, payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with the Trustee or other holder of the mortgage or other lien securing such prior lien bonds), unless other property additions subject to the same prior liens shall theretofore have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds under Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of a credit under Section 6 of Article One of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth or Seventeenth Supplemental Indentures, or this Section 6,

	  

  

461

  

	  	
or of a deduction under Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of the withdrawal of cash or the release of property under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be outstanding, any property additions used by the Company as the basis of a credit under this Section shall be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall be permitted from time to time to anticipate in whole or in part the requirements of this Section becoming due on April 30 of the then current year or any subsequent year or years, by depositing cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2005 with the Trustee in full satisfaction or in partial satisfaction of the requirements of this Section.

The Trustee, upon receipt of cash pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall forthwith proceed to apply the same toward the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2005 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the amount of cash deposited, on any securities exchange or in the open market or at private sale, at the price or prices most favorable to the Company in the judgment of the Trustee; provided, however, that no Bonds of Series Due 2005 shall be purchased at such a price (including accrued interest and brokerage charges) that the cost thereof to the Company would exceed the principal amount of such Bonds of Series Due 2005 plus the interest accrued thereon from the interest date next preceding the date of purchase to a date forty (40) days after the date of such purchase.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company, at the time of paying to the Trustee any Improvement and Sinking Fund payment with respect to the Bonds of Series Due 2005, or at any time or from time to time thereafter, may, by an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice-President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, accompanied by a resolution, as defined in Section 3 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, authorizing or directing the Trustee to apply an amount therein specified to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2005, direct the Trustee to apply such Improvement and

	  

  

462

  

	  	
Sinking Fund payment or any part thereof (not theretofore disbursed by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2005 or required for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2005 under offers or proposals theretofore accepted by the Trustee) to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2005, and in such event the Amount so specified is hereby required to be applied forthwith to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2005. Upon receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution, the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of Series Due 2005, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount so specified, and within ten (10) days after the receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, if moneys in excess of the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section (except moneys which have theretofore been set aside for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2005 or for the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2005 called for redemption) shall have remained on deposit for a period of ninety (90) days, such moneys so remaining on deposit shall promptly thereafter be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2005. In such case the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of Series Due 2005, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount of cash remaining on deposit with the Trustee pursuant to this Section, and shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

Any Bonds of Series Due 2005 delivered to, or purchased or redeemed by, the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be reissued, and shall forthwith be canceled and periodically may be cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall thereupon deliver to the Company a certificate of such cancellation and cremation or destruction. So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2005 are outstanding, no Bonds of Series Due 2005 so delivered, purchased or redeemed and canceled shall be made the basis for the authentication and delivery of Bonds, or the withdrawal of cash or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be deposited with the Trustee under any provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or of this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture.

	  

  

463

  

	  	
Upon the purchase or redemption by the Trustee of any Bonds of Series Due 2005 pursuant to the provisions of this Section:

(A) The Company shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to all interest to the date of purchase or redemption, as the case may be, on all the Bonds of Series Due 2005 so purchased or redeemed, together with cash in the amount, if any, by which the aggregate purchase or redemption price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of Series Due 2005 purchased or redeemed. The cost of all advertising or publishing and all brokerage charges shall be paid by the Company, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall forthwith be paid to it by the Company upon demand.

(B) The Trustee shall pay to or upon the order of the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, from any moneys deposited with the Trustee under this Section, an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of Series Due 2005 purchased exceeds the aggregate purchase price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee for such Bonds of Series Due 2005.

484

  

	  	
2006), each of which shall bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond. The aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2006 which may be outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended and this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $50,000,000, except as provided in Section 9 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended.

The Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be in registered form only and such Bonds and the Trustee’s certificate to be endorsed on all the Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall respectively be substantially in the forms of the registered First Mortgage Bonds, 3% Series Due 1984, and the Trustee’s certificate to be endorsed thereon, set forth in the recitals of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, with the exception that certain parts of the text of the Bond will appear on the back of the Bond rather than on the face, with modifications of the provisions respecting the payment of interest as permitted by Section 1(f) of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended, and with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations in the provisions with respect to, among other things, the descriptive title, the interest rate, redemption prices, dates of issue, maturity and interest payments in order to reflect the terms and provisions of the First Mortgage Bonds, 83/4% Series Due 2006, as in the First Mortgage as amended and in this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture provided or permitted.

Section 2. Upon the execution and delivery of this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture and upon delivery to the Trustee of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2006, executed by the Company, and upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Article Seven of the First Mortgage as amended, the Trustee shall, without awaiting the filing or recording of this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture, authenticate said Bonds and deliver said Bonds as provided in said Article Seven.

The Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be dated as provided in Section 3 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended; shall mature November 15, 2006; shall bear interest as provided in said Section 3 of Article Two at the rate of eight and three-fourths  per centum (83/4%) per annum until paid or redeemed as hereinafter provided, payable on May 15, 1977, and thereafter semi-annually on

	  

  

485

  

	  	
each May 15 and November 15, to the Bondholders in whose names such Bonds of Series Due 2006 are registered at the close of business on April 30 or October 31, as the case may be, next preceding such May 15 or November 15, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of any instalment of interest on any Bonds of Series Due 2006, such interest in default shall be paid to the Bondholders in whose names the Bonds of Series Due 2006 are registered at the close of business on a date established for the payment of such defaulted interest by the Company in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Bonds may be listed; and shall be payable as to both principal and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

Section 4. Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be issued in the denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.

Whenever any Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in said Borough of Manhattan for exchange for a Bond or Bonds of such Series of other authorized denomination or denominations, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon cancellation of the Bond or Bonds so surrendered, a Bond or Bonds of such Series of such other authorized denomination or denominations of like aggregate principal amount as the Bondholder making the exchange shall have requested and shall be entitled to receive. On presentation of any Bond of Series Due 2006 which is to be redeemed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of this Article One in part only, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds of such Series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so presented.

The Company shall not be required to (a) register a transfer of, or exchange, any Bond of Series Due 2006 during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of Bonds of such Series to be redeemed or (b) register a transfer of, or exchange, any Bond of such Series which shall have been selected for redemption in whole or in part.

	  

  

486

  

	  	
A service charge will not be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of Bonds of Series Due 2006, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Until definitive Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be ready for delivery, the Company may execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Bonds but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions except as to the denominations thereof, temporary printed or lithographed Bonds of Series Due 2006 as provided in Section 8 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended. Such temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds, when ready for delivery, in the manner provided in the First Mortgage as amended, and shall in all other respects be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage as amended as therein provided.

Section 5. Bonds of Series Due 2006 may be redeemed, prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, in the manner provided in Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, as a whole at any time, or (so long as the Company is not in default in the payment of interest on the Bonds of Series Due 2006 or in the making of payments to the Improvement and Sinking Fund referred to in Section 6 of this Article One) in part from time to time, at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, together, if redeemed otherwise than by the operation of said Improvement and Sinking Fund or the Maintenance and Replacement Fund provisions referred to in Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, and otherwise than by the use of proceeds of released property (as hereinafter in this Section defined), with a premium equal to a percentage of the principal amount thereof determined as set forth in the tabulation below under the heading “Regular Redemption Premium”, and, if redeemed by the operation of such Improvement and Sinking Fund or Maintenance and Replacement Fund provisions, or by the use of proceeds of released property (as so defined), with a premium equal to a percentage of the principal amount

and without premium if redeemed on or after November 15, 2005;

provided, however, that the Company, in instances where the regular redemption premium would be applicable, shall not have the right to redeem any of the Bonds of Series Due 2006 prior to November 15, 1981,

	  

  

488

  

	  	
directly or indirectly, as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness bears an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of less than 8.68% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption prior to November 15, 1981, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirements of this proviso).

Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond of Series Due 2006 may, if the Company so agrees with the registered holder thereof (or the person for whom such registered holder is a nominee if such person has filed with the Trustee a certificate to the effect that such registered holder is such person’s nominee), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee if there shall have been filed with the Trustee a written undertaking, for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Company, that such registered holder (a) will make notations on such Bonds of Series Due 2006 of the portions thereof so redeemed; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect, at any reasonable time, such notations (and, in default of such notations having been made, to make such notations); and (c) will not dispose of such Bond of Series Due 2006 or any interest thereon unless, prior to the delivery thereof, such Bond either shall have been presented to the Trustee for appropriate notation (or confirmation of notation) thereon of the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been redeemed or shall have been surrendered to the Trustee in exchange for a new Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2006 aggregating the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made.

In connection with redemption, the term “proceeds of released property” as used in this Section shall mean cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended and applied to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2006 pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  

  

489

  

	  	
Except as in this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the Bonds of Series Due 2006 at any time outstanding.

Section 6. So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as an Improvement and Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1978, an amount in cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2006 equal in the aggregate to one per centum (1%) of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2006 theretofore outstanding at any one time less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2006 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended); provided, however, that there shall be credited against the amount of cash and/or principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2006 so required to be deposited with the Trustee an amount equal to sixty per centum (60%) of the cost or fair value (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, of property additions, as defined in Section 4 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, which shall not then be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, and which the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section.

On or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1978, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee

(1) a Treasurer’s certificate which shall state:

(i) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2006 theretofore outstanding at any one time; and

(ii) the sample principal amount of all Bonds of Series Due 2006 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than

	  

  

490

  

	  	
by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended) prior to the date of such Treasurer’s certificate;

and

(2) if the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be then necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 need not state that the Company is not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage. If any property additions made the basis for a credit under this Section are subject to any prior liens, as defined in Section 6 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, then in order to ascertain the cost or then fair value to the Company (whichever shall be less) of such property additions, there shall be deducted from the cost or fair value thereof (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, an amount equal to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (1662/3%) of the principal amount of said prior lien bonds (exclusive of any such outstanding prior lien bonds for the purchase, payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with the Trustee or other holder of the mortgage or other lien securing such prior lien bonds), unless other property additions subject to the same prior liens shall theretofore have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds under Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of a credit under Section 6 of Article One of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,

	  

  

491

  

	  	
Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth or Nineteenth Supplemental Indentures, or this Section 6, or of a deduction under Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of the withdrawal of cash or the release of property under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be outstanding, any property additions used by the Company as the basis of a credit under this Section shall be funded property, as dazed in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall he permitted from time to time to anticipate in whole or in part the requirements of this Section becoming due on April 30 of the then current year or any subsequent year or years, by depositing cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of Series Due 2006 with the Trustee in full satisfaction or in partial satisfaction of the requirements of this Section.

The Trustee, upon receipt of cash pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall forthwith proceed to apply the same toward the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2006 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the amount of cash deposited, on any securities exchange or in the open market or at private sale, at the price or prices most favorable to the Company in the judgment of the Trustee; provided, however, that no Bonds of Series Due 2006 shall be purchased at such a price (including accrued interest and brokerage charges) that the cost thereof to the Company would exceed the principal amount of such Bonds of Series Due 2006 plus the interest accrued thereon from the interest date next preceding the date of purchase to a date forty (40) days after the date of such purchase.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company, at the time of paying to the Trustee any Improvement and Sinking Fund payment with respect to the Bonds of Series Due 2006, or at any time or from time to time thereafter, may, by an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice-President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, accompanied by a resolution, as defined in Section 3 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, authorizing or directing the Trus-

	  

  

492

  

	  	
tee to apply an amount therein, specified to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2006, direct the Trustee to apply such Improvement and Sinking Fund payment or any part thereof (not theretofore disbursed by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2006 or required for the purchase of Bonds of Series due 2006 under offers or proposals theretofore accepted by the Trustee) to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2006, and in such event the amount so specified is hereby required to be applied forthwith to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2006. Upon receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution, the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of Series Due 2006, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount so specified, and within ten (10) days after the receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, if moneys in excess of the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section (except moneys which have theretofore been set aside for the purchase of Bonds of Series Due 2006 or for the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2006 called for redemption) shall have remained on deposit for a period of ninety (90) days, such moneys so remaining on deposit shall promptly thereafter be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Bonds of Series Due 2006. In such case the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of Series Due 2006, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount of cash remaining on deposit with the Trustee pursuant to this Section, and shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

Any Bonds of Series Due 2006 delivered to, or purchased or redeemed by, the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be reissued, and shall forthwith be canceled and periodically may be cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall thereupon deliver to the Company a certificate of such cancellation and cremation or destruction. So long as any Bonds of Series Due 2006

	  

  

493

  

	  	
are outstanding, no Bonds of Series Due 2006 so delivered, purchased or redeemed and canceled shall be made the basis for the authentication and delivery of Bonds, or the withdrawal of cash or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be deposited with the Trustee under any provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or of this Twentieth Supplemental Indenture.

Upon the purchase or redemption by the Trustee of any Bonds of Series Due 2006 pursuant to the provisions of this Section:

(A) The Company shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to all interest to the date of purchase or redemption, as the case may be, on all the Bonds of Series Due 2006 so purchased or redeemed, together with cash in the amount, if any, by which the aggregate purchase or redemption price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of Series Due 2006 purchased or redeemed. The cost of all advertising or publishing and all brokerage charges shall be paid by the Company, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall forthwith be paid to it by the Company upon demand.

(B) The Trustee shall pay to or upon the order of the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, from any moneys deposited with the Trustee under this Section, an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of Series Due 2006 purchased exceeds the aggregate purchase price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee for such Bonds of Series Due 2006.

From and after initial issue of the Bonds of Series Due 2007 this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the First Mortgage and all the terms and conditions herein contained shall be deemed to be part of the terms of the First Mortgage, as fully and with the same effect as if all the terms and provisions of this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, including the provisions which determine the dates on which the amendments herein made shall become effective, had been set forth in the First Mortgage as originally executed.  Except as modified or amended by this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, the First Mortgage as amended shall remain and continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, and all the covenants, conditions, terms and provisions of the First Mortgage, as heretofore modified and amended and as further modified and amended by this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, shall be applicable with respect to the Bonds of Series Due 2007, except insofar as such covenants, conditions, terms and provisions are limited and applicable only to the Bonds of another or other series are outstanding, and all the covenants, conditions, terms and provisions of the First Mortgage as amended with respect to the Trustee shall remain in full force and effect and be applicable to the Trustee under this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture in the same manner as though set out herein at length.  All representations and recitals contained in this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture and in the Bonds of Series Due 2007 (save only the Trustee’s certificate upon said Bonds) are made by and on behalf of

	  

  

533

  

	  	
the Company, and the Trustee is in no way responsible therefor or for any statement therein contained.

	  
	  	
Section 3.  The terms defined in Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, when used in this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, shall, respectively, have the meanings set forth in said Article One.

	  
	  	
No Bonds of Series Due 2007 shall be deemed to be outstanding within the meaning of the phrase “so long as any of the Bonds of Series Due 2007 shall be outstanding” as used in this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, if the Company shall have exercised its option to redeem all the Bonds of Series Due 2007 then remaining outstanding and shall have deposited with the Trustee the proper redemption price thereof, to be held by the Trustee in trust for the holders of such Bonds, and provided that notice of such redemption shall have been published as hereinbefore provided or provision, satisfactory to the Trustee, for such publication shall have been made, and provided further that provision shall have been made prohibiting any further issue of Bonds of Series Due 2007 after such deposit of the redemption price of the Bonds of Series Due 2007 then outstanding.

	  
	  	
Section 4.  By an Order granting an Application of the Company pursuant to Section 310(b)(1)(d) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Securities and Exchange Commission has determined that the trusteeship of Irving Trust Company under the First Mortgage as amended and this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, and under the Pollution Control Indenture, is not so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify Irving Trust Company from so serving.  Therefore the Pollution Control Indenture shall, in respect of the First Mortgage as amended and this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, be excluded from the operation of paragraph (1) of Section 310(b) of such Act.

	  
	  	
Section 5.  This Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts and each counterpart shall be an original instrument.

So long as any Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as an Improvement and Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1979, an amount in cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 equal in the aggregate to one per centum (1%) of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 theretofore outstanding at any one time less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended); provided, however, that there shall be credited against the amount of cash and/or principal amount of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 so required to be deposited with the Trustee an amount equal to sixty per centum (60%) of the cost or fair value (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, of property additions, as defined in Section 4 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, which shall not then be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, and which the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section.

	  
	  	
On or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1979, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee

	  
	  	
(1) a Treasurer’s certificate which shall state:

	  
	  	
(i)      the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 theretofore outstanding at any one time; and

	  
	  	
(ii)      the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended) prior to the date of such Treasurer’s certificate;

	  

  

554

  

	  	  	  
	  	
and

	  
	  	
(2) if the Company shall than elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be then necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution; net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the option described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 used not state that the Company is not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage. If any property additions made the basis for a credit under this Section are subject to any prior liens, as defined in Section 6 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, then in order to ascertain the cost or then fair value to the Company (whichever shall be less) of such property additions, there shall be deducted from the cost or fair value thereof (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, an amount equal to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (1662/3%) of the principal amount of said prior lien bonds (exclusive of any such outstanding prior lien bonds for the purchase, payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with the Trustee or other holder of the mortgage or other lien securing such prior lien bonds), unless other property additions subject to the same prior liens shall theretofore have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds under Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of a credit under Section 6 of Article One of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth or Twentieth Supplemental Indentures, or this Section 6, or of a deduction under Section 5 of Article Eight of the

	  

  

555

  

	  	  	  
	  	
First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of the withdrawal of cash or the release of property under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  
	  	
So long as any Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 shall be outstanding, any property additions used by the Company as the basis of a credit under this Section shall be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  
	  	
The Trustee, upon receipt of cash pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall forthwith proceed to apply the same toward the purchase of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the amount of cash deposited, on any securities exchange or in the open market or at private sale, at the price or prices most favorable to the Company in the judgment of the Trustees; provided, however, that no Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 shall be purchased at such a price (including accrued interest and brokerage charges) that the cost thereof to the Company would exceed the principal amount of such Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 plus the interest accrued thereon from the interest date next preceding the date of purchase to a date forty (40) days after the date of such pur-chase.

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company, at the time of paying to the Trustee any Improvement and Sinking Fund payment with respect to the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007, or at any time or from time to time thereafter, may, by an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice-President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treas-

	  

  

556

  

	  	  	  
	  	
urer, accompanied by a resolution, as defined in Section 3 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, authorizing or directing the Trustee to apply an amount therein specified to the redemption of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007, direct the Trustee to apply such Improvement and Sinking Fund payment or any part thereof (not theretofore disbursed by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 or required for the purchase of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 under offers or proposals theretofore accepted by the Trustee) to the redemption of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007, and in such event the amount so specified is hereby required to be applied forthwith to the redemption of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007. Upon receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution, the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount so specified, and within ten (10) days after the receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, if moneys in excess of the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section (except moneys which have theretofore been set aside for the purchase of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 or for the redemption of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 called for redemption) shall have remained on deposit for a period of ninety (90) days, such moneys so remaining on deposit shall promptly thereafter be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007. In such case the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount of cash remaining on deposit with the Trustee pursuant to this Section, and shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

	  

  

557

  

	  	  	  
	  	
Any Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 delivered to, or purchased or redeemed by, the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be reissued, and shall forthwith be canceled and periodically may be cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall thereupon deliver to the Company a certificate of such cancellation and cremation or destruction. So long as any Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 are outstanding, no Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 so delivered, purchased or redeemed and canceled shall be made the basis for the authentication and delivery of Bonds, or the withdrawal of cash or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be deposited with the Trustee under any provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or of this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture.

	  
	  	
Upon the purchase or redemption by the Trustee of any Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 pursuant to the provisions of this Section:

	  
	  	
(A)          The Company shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to all interest to the date of purchase or redemption, as the case may be, on all the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 so purchased or redeemed, together with cash in the amount, if any, by which the aggregate purchase or redemption price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 purchased or redeemed. The cost of all advertising or publishing and all brokerage charges shall be paid by the Company, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall forthwith be paid to it by the Company upon demand.

	  
	  	
(B)          The Trustee shall pay to or upon the order of the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, from any moneys deposited with the Trustee under this Section, an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 purchased exceeds the aggregate purchase price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee for such Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007.

563

  

	  	  	  
	  	
or other capital assets, or taxes on or in respect of any such profit; or (e) any earned surplus adjustment (including tax adjustments) applicable to any period prior to October 1, 1945.

Nothing herein contained shall limit the right of the Company to deposit Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 with the Trustee in satis-

	  

  

564

Section 2.

From and after such initial issue of the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the First Mortgage and all the terms and conditions herein contained shall be deemed to be part of the terms of the First Mortgage, as fully and with the same effect as if all the terms and provisions of this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture, including the provisions which determine the dates on which the amendments herein made shall become effective, had been set forth in the First Mortgage as originally executed.  Except as modified or amended by this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture, the First Mortgage as amended shall remain and continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, and all the covenants, conditions, terms and provisions of the First Mortgage, as heretofore modified and amended and as further modified and amended by this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture, shall be applicable with respect to the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007, except insofar as such covenants, conditions, terms and provisions are limited and applicable only to the Bonds of another or other series, or are expressed to continue only so long as Bonds

	  

  

565

  

	  	  	  
	  	
of another or other series are outstanding and all the covenants, conditions, terms and provisions of the First Mortgage as amended with respect to the Trustee shall remain in full force and effect and be applicable to the Trustee under this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture in the same manner as though set out herein at length.  All representations and recitals contained in this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture and in the Bonds of the 81/2% Series Due 2007 (save only the Trustee’s certificate upon said Bonds) are made by and on behalf of the Company, and the Trustee is in no way responsible therefor or for any statement therein contained.

	  
	  	
Section 3.  The terms defined in Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, when used in this Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture, shall, respectively, have the meanings set forth in said Article One.

and without premium if redeemed on or after April 1, 1995;

	  
	  	
provided, however, that the Company, in instances where the regular redemption premium would be applicable, shall not have the right to redeem any of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1996 prior to April 1, 1988, directly or indirectly, as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness bears an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of less than 8.95% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption prior to April 1, 1988, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirement of this proviso).

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a porting of any Bond of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 shall, so long as any purchaser (herein called a “Purchaser”) under one of the Purchase Agreements (as hereinafter defined), or a nomi-

	  

  

583

  

	  	  	 
	  	
nee of a Purchaser, shall be a holder of any of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998, or if any other institutional holder or its nominee or nominees shall at any time be the holder or holders of at least 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 outstanding (any such other institutional holder being herein called an “Institutional Holder”), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee, and payment of the interest on such Bond of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 shall be made in such manner as shall be specified by such Purchaser or Institutional Holder in a written notice filed with the Company, and without any requirement of surrendering such Bond of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 to the Trustee. Until further notice from any such Purchaser, such payments shall be made in respect of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 held by it as provided in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreements.  As a condition to making any such payment, there shall be filed with the Trustee an agreement by such Purchaser or other Institutional Holder (designating its nominee or nominees, if any) that it (a) will prior to transfer make notations on such Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 of the portions thereof so redeemed and will also note the data to which interest has been paid on such Bond of the 8.95% Series Due 1998; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect such Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 and to make such notations thereon; and (c) promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee of any such Bond sold or transferred by such holder.  The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to any Purchaser or Institutional Holder or to the Company or to any other person for any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any Purchaser or Institutional Holder in connection with the foregoing. The Company will indemnify and save the Trustee harmless against any liabilities resulting from any such act or omission.

	 
	  	
As used in this Section the term “Purchase Agreements” means the eleven separate Bond Purchase Agreements, each dated March 30, 1978, between the Company and, respectively, the twelve original purchasers of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1996, true and correct copies of such Purchase Agreements, certified as such by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, having been lodged with the Trustee and being available for inspection at its principal trust office.

Section 6.  So long as any of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as a Mandatory Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before March 31 of each year beginning with the year 1984 to and including the year 1997, an amount in cash sufficient to redeem as a mandatory sinking fund on the next succeeding April 1, $1,330,000 principal amount of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998, together with accrued interest thereon.

	 
	  	
At its option, the Company may, as an Optional Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee on or before March 31 of each year beginning with the year 1988 to and including the year 1997, but limited to a maximum of any five such years, an additional amount in cash sufficient to redeem as an optional sinking fund on the next succeeding April 1, up to $1,380,000 principal amount of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998, together with interest accrued thereon, provided that the Company notifies the Trustee in writing of its decision to exercise this option not later than the preceding March 1. Such optional sinking fund payment shall not be cumulative and shall not operate to reduce the amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment.

	 
	  	
In connection with each mandatory and optional sinking fund payment provided for in this Section 6, the Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 8 of this Article One, for redemption on the next ensuing April 1 for such sinking fund, Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such sinking fund payment, and thereupon the Company will cause notice of redemption of such Bonds to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 7 of this Article One, at the special redemption price provided in Section 5 of this Article One, together, in each case, with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption; and on said April 1 the Trustee shall apply said cash in the manner provided in Section 5 of this Article One to the redemption of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 so selected.

	 
	  	
Section 7.  Subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended, written, notices of redemption of Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 pursuant to either of Section 5 or 6 of this Article One shall be given by the Trustee by mailing, first class postage prepaid, or delivering by hand to the registered owner of such Bonds to be redeemed a notice of such redemption at its last address as it shall appear upon the

	 

  

585

  

	  	  	 
	  	
books of the Company for the registration and transfer of such Bonds. Any notice of redemption pursuant to said Section 5 or 6 shall be mailed or delivered by hand at least 30 days and not earlier than 60 days before the redemption date; provided, however, that the registered owner or owners of all Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 may consent in writing to a shorter notice period, and such consent, if filed with the Trustee, shall be binding upon the Company and such registered owners and their transferees.

	 
	  	
Section 8.  In the event of any redemption of less than all the outstanding Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998, the Trustee shall select in the manner provided in Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended (subject to the provisions of this Section 8 of this Article One) the numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part. Any term of the First Mortgage as amended or of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Purchaser or Institutional Holder, or a nominee of any such Purchaser or Institutional Holder, shall be a holder of any of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998, in case of any partial redemption of the Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 the Trustee shall prorate the principal amount of such Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 to be redeemed among all holders of such Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 in proportion to the principal amount of such Bands of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 registered in the name of each such holder and shall then designate for redemption with respect to each such holder particular Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 or portions thereof equal to the principal amount of Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 to be redeemed so prorated to such registered owner; provided, however, that in any such prorating pursuant to this paragraph the Trustee shall, according to such method as it shall deem proper in its discretion, make such adjustments by increasing or decreasing by not more than $1,000 the amount which would be allocable on the basis of exact proportion to any one or more holders of such Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998, as may be required to provide that the principal amount so prorated shall be in each instance an integral multiple of $1,000.

	 
	  	
Section 9.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the First Mortgage as amended, Bonds of the 8.95% Series Due 1998 shall not be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Company (or by the Trustee on

	 

  

586

  

	  	  	  
	  	
behalf of the Company) except for redemptions pursuant to the Mandatory Sinking Fund and the Optional Sinking Fund referred to in Section 6 of this Article One, optional redemptions at the Regular Redemption Premium as provided in Section 5 of this Article One and redemptions pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended utilizing cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended.

provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to redeem any of the Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 prior to December 1, 1988, directly or indirectly, as part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness bears an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of less than 91⁄2% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption prior to December 1, 1988, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirements of this proviso).

612

  

	  	
“Institutional Holder”), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee, and payment of the interest on such Bond of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 shall be made in such manner as shall be specified by such Purchaser or Institutional Holder in a written noticed filed with the Company, and without any requirement of surrendering such Bond of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 to the Trustee.  Until further notice from any such Purchaser, such payments shall be made in respect of the Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 held by it as provided in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreements.  As a condition to making any such payment, there shall be filed with the Trustee an agreement by such Purchaser or other Institutional Holder (designating its nominee or nominees, if any) that it (a) will prior to transfer make notation on such Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 of the portions thereof so redeemed and will also note the date to which interest has been paid on such Bond of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect such bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 and to make such notation thereon; and (c) promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee of any such Bond sold or transferred by such holder.  Such condition shall be satisfied in the case of the Purchasers by delivery of signed copies of the Purchase Agreements.  The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to any Purchaser or Institutional Holder or to the Company or to any other person for any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any Purchaser or Institutional Holder in connection with the foregoing.

Trustee by mailing, first class postage prepaid, or delivering by hand to the registered owner of such Bonds to be redeemed a notice of such redemption at its last address as it shall appear upon the books of the Company for the registration and transfer of such Bonds.  Any notice of redemption pursuant to said Section 5 shall be mailed or delivered by hand at least 30 days and not earlier than 60 days before the redemption date; provided, however, that the registered owner or owners of all Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 may consent in writing to a shorter notice period, and such consent, if filed with the Trustee, shall be binding upon the Company and such registered owners and their transferees.

Any term of the First Mortgage as amended or of the Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Purchaser or Institutional Holder, or a nominee of any such Purchaser or Institutional Holder, shall be a holder of any of the Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003, in case of any partial redemption of the Bonds for the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 the Trustee shall prorate the principal amount of such Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 to be redeemed among all holders of such Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 in proportion to the principal amount of such Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 registered in the name of each such holder and shall then designate for redemption with respect to each such holder particular Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 or portions thereof equal to the principal amount of Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003 to be redeemed so prorated to such registered owner; provided, however, that in any such prorating pursuant to this paragraph the Trustee shall, according to such method as it shall deem proper in its discretion, make such adjustments by increasing or decreasing by not more than $1,000 the amount which would be allocable on the basis of exact proportion to any one or more holders of such Bonds of the 91⁄2% Series Due 2003, as may be required to provide that the principal amount so prorated shall be in each instance an integral multiple $1,000.

provided, however, that the Company, in instances where the regular redemption premium would be applicable, shall not have the right to redeem any of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 prior to August 1, 1989, directly or indirectly, as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation involving the incurring of indebtedness or the issuance of preferred stock by the Company if the interest or such indebtedness or the dividends on such preferred stock result in an effective yield, based on the initial offering price thereof, of less than 101/4% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption prior to August 1, 1989, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirements of this proviso).

	  
	  	
Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 shall, so long as any purchaser (herein called a “Purchaser”) under one of the Purchase Agreements (as hereinafter defined), or a nominee of a Purchaser shall be a holder of any of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999, or if any other institutional holder or its nominee or nominees shall at any time be the holder or holders of at least 3% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 outstanding (any such other institutional holder being herein called an “Institutional Holder”), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee, and payment of the interest on such Bond of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 shall be made in such manner as shall be specified by such Purchaser or Institutional Holder in a written notice filed with the Company, and without any requirement of surrendering such Bond of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 to the Trustee. Until further notice from any such Purchaser, such payments shall be made in respect of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 held by it as provided in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreements. As a condition to making any such payment, there shall be filed with the Trustee an agreement by such Purchaser or other Institutional Holder (designating its nominee or nominees, if any) that (a) will prior to transfer make notations on such Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 of the portions thereof so redeemed and will also note the date to which interest has been paid on such Bond of the 101/4% Series Due 19991 (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect such Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due

	  

  

638

  

	  	
1999 and to make such notations thereon; and (c) promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee of any such Bond sold or transferred by such holder. Such condition shall be satisfied in the case of the Purchasers by delivery of signed copies of the Purchase Agreements. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to any Purchaser or Institutional Holder or to the Company or to any other person for any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any Purchaser or Institutional Holder in connection with the foregoing. The Company will indemnify and save the Trustee harmless against any liabilities resulting from any such act or omission.

	  
	  	
As used in this Section the term “Purchase Agreements” means the thirteen separate Bond Purchase Agreements, each dated August 1, 1979, between the Company and, respectively, the thirteen original purchasers of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999, true and correct copies of such Purchase Agreements, certified as such by an officer of the Company, having been lodged with the Trustee and being available for inspection at its principal trust office.

	  
	  	
Section 6.  So long as any of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as a Mandatory Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before July 31 of each year beginning with the year 1985 to and including the year 1998, an amount in cash sufficient to redeem as a mandatory sinking fund on the next succeeding August 1, $3,000,000 principal amount of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 (or, if less than $3,000,000 principal amount shall be outstanding, an amount sufficient to redeem all such Bonds then outstanding), together with accrued interest thereon.

	  
	  	
At its option, the Company may, as an Optional Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee on or before July 31 of each year beginning with the year 1989 to and including the year 1998, but limited to a maximum of any five such years, an additional amount in cash sufficient to redeem as an optional sinking fund on the next succeeding August 1, up to $3,000,000 principal amount of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999, together with interest accrued thereon, provided that the Company notifies the Trustee in writing of its decision to exercise this option not later than the preceding July 1. Such optional sinking fund payment shall not be cumulative and shall not operate to reduce the amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment.

	  

  

639

  

	  	
In connection with each mandatory and optional sinking fund payment provided for in this Section 6, the Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 8 of this Article One, for redemption on the next ensuing August 1 for such sinking fund, Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such sinking fund payment, and thereupon the Company will cause notice of redemption of such Bonds to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 7 of this Article One, at the special redemption price provided in Section 5 of this Article One, together, in each case with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption; and on said August 1 the Trustee shall apply to the redemption of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 so selected.

	  
	  	
Section 7.  Subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended, written notice of redemption of Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 pursuant to either of Section 5 or 6 of this Article One shall be given by the Trustee by mailing, first class postage prepaid, or delivering by hand to the registered owner of such Bonds to be redeemed a notice of such redemption at its last address as it shall appear upon the books of the Company for the registration and transfer of such Bonds.  Any notice of redemption pursuant to said Section 5 or 6 shall be mailed or delivered by hand at least 30 days and not earlier than 60 days before the redemption date; provided, however, that the registered owner or owners of all Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 may consent in writing to a shorter notice period, and such consent, if filed with the Trustee, shall be binding upon the Company and such registered owners and their transferees.

	  
	  	
Section 8.  In the event of any redemption of less than all the out-standing Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999, the Trustee shall select in the manner provided in Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended (subject to the provisions of this Section 8 of this Article One) the numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part. Any term of the First Mortgage as amended or of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Purchaser or Institutional Holder, or a nominee of any such Purchaser or Institutional Holder, shall be a holder of any of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999, in case of any partial redemption of the Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 the Trustee shall prorate the principal amount of such Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 to be redeemed among all holders of such

	  

  

640

  

	  	
Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 in proportion to the principal amount of such Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 registered in the name of each such holder and shall then designate for redemption with respect to each such holder particular Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 or portions thereof equal to the principal amount of Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 to be redeemed so prorated to such registered owner, provided, however, that in any such prorating pursuant to this paragraph the Trustee shall, according to such method as it shall deem proper in its discretion, make such adjustments by increasing or decreasing by not more than $1,000 the amount which would be allocable on the basis of exact proportion to any one or more holders of such Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999, as may be required to provide that the principal amount so prorated shall be in each instance an integral multiple of $1,000.

	  
	  	
Section 9.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the First Mortgage as amended, Bonds of the 101/4% Series Due 1999 shall not be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Company (or by the Trustee on behalf of the Company) except for (a) redemptions pursuant to the Mandatory Sinking Fund and the Optional Sinking Fund referred to in Section 6 of this Article One (b) optional redemptions at the Regular Redemption Premium as provided in Section 5 of this Article One, and (c) redemptions pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended utilising cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended; provided, however, that a redemption described in clause (c) of this Section 9 shall not be made by the Company unless in any such case there shall also be so redeemed a principal amount of Bonds of other series outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended bearing substantially the same (or greater) proportion to the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds (other than the Bonds of the 101/4% Series due 1999) of all series then outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended as the principal amount of Bonds of the 101/4% Series due 1999 then to be so redeemed bears to the principal amount of all Bonds of the 101/4% Series due 1999 then outstanding.

A service charge will not be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Until definitive Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 shall be ready for delivery, the Company may execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Bonds but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions except as to the denominations thereof, temporary printed or lithographed Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 as provided in Section 8 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended.  Such temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds, when ready for delivery, in the manner provided in the First Mortgage as amended, and shall in all other respects be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Twenty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage as amended as therein provided.

and without premium if redeemed on or after December 1, 2004:

provided, however, that the Company, in instances where the regular redemption premium would be applicable, shall not have the right to redeem any of the Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 prior to December 1, 1984, directly or indirectly, as part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness bears an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of less than 12.22% per annum (and in connection with each such redemption

	  

  

666

  

	  	
prior to December 1, 1984, the Company shall file with the Trustee a Treasurer’s certificate stating that such redemption complies with the requirements of this proviso); and provided, further, however, that the Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 may not be redeemed by operation of said Maintenance and Replacement Fund provisions prior to December 1, 1984.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 may, if the Company so agrees with the registered holder thereof (or the person for whom such registered holder is a nominee if such person has filed with the Trustee a certificate to the effect that such registered holder is such person’s nominee), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee if there shall have been filed with the Trustee a written undertaking, for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Company, that such registered holder (a) will make notations on such Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 of the portions thereof so redeemed; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect, at any reasonable time, such notations (and, in default of such notations having been made, to make such notations); and (c) will not dispose of such Bond of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 or any interest thereon unless, prior to the delivery thereof, such Bond either shall have been presented to the Trustee for appropriate notation (or confirmation of notation) thereon of the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been redeemed or shall have been surrendered to the Trustee in exchange for a new Bond or Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 aggregating the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond, the Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made.

In connection with redemption, the term “proceeds of released property” as used in this Section shall mean cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended and applied to the redemption of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  

  

667

  

	  	
Except as in this Twenty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 at any time outstanding.

Section 6.  So long as any Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 shall be outstanding, the Company will, as an Improvement and Sinking Fund provision, deposit with the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1981, an amount in cash and/or a principal amount of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 equal in the aggregate to one per centum (1%) of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 theretofore outstanding at any one time less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended); provided, however, that there shall be credited against the amount of cash and/or principal amount of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 so required to be deposited with the Trustee an amount equal to sixty per centum (60%) of the cost or fair value (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, of property additions, as defined in Section 4 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, which shall not then be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, and which the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section.

On or before April 30 of each year beginning with the year 1981, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee

(1)      a Treasurer’s certificate which shall state:

(i)           The greatest aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 theretofore outstanding at any one time; and

(ii)           The aggregate principal amount of all Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 retired pursuant to or upon compliance with the

	  

  

668

  

	  	
provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended (otherwise than by use of moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven or of Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended) prior to the date of such Treasurer’s certificate, and

(2)      if the Company shall then elect to make the basis of a credit under this Section any amount of property additions, such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be then necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company, and provided that the Treasurer’s certificate required by subdivision (2) of said Section 6 need not state that the Company is not to the knowledge of the signers in default under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage.  If any property additions made the basis for a credit under this Section are subject to any prior liens, as defined in Section 6 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, then in order to ascertain the cost or then fair value to the Company (whichever shall be less) of such property additions, there shall be deducted from the cost or fair value thereof (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended), whichever shall be less, an amount equal to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds per cent (1662⁄3%) of the principal amount of said prior lien bonds (exclusive of any such outstanding prior lien bonds for the purchase, payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with the Trustee or other holder of the mortgage or other lien securing such prior lien bonds), unless other property additions subject to the same prior liens shall theretofore have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds under Article Five of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of a credit under Section 6 of Article One of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth or Twenty-Second Supplemental Indentures, or this Section 6, or of a deduction under Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended, or the basis of the withdrawal of cash or the release of property under any of the provisions of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

	  

 

 

  

669

  

 

 

	  	
So long as any Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 shall be outstanding, any property additions used by the Company as the basis of a credit under this Section shall be funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.

The Trustee, upon receipt of cash pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall forthwith proceed to apply the same toward the purchase of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the amount of cash deposited, on any securities exchange or in the open market or at private sale, at the price or prices most favorable to the Company in the judgment of the Trustee; provided, however, that no Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 shall be purchased at such a price (including accrued interest and brokerage charges) that the cost thereof to the Company would exceed the principal amount of such Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 plus the interest accrued thereon from the interest date next preceding the date of purchase to a date forty (40) days after the date of such purchase.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company, at the time of paying to the Trustee any Improvement and Sinking Fund payment with respect to the Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009, or at any time or from time to time thereafter, may, by an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice-President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, accompanied by a resolution, as defined in Section 3 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended, authorizing or directing the Trustee to apply an amount therein specified to the redemption of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009, direct the Trustee to apply such Improvement and Sinking Fund payment or any part thereof (not theretofore disbursed by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 or required for the purchase of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 under offers or proposals theretofore accepted by the Trustee) to the redemption of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009, and in such event the amount so specified is hereby required to be applied forthwith to the redemption of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009. Upon receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution, the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount so specified, and within ten (10) days after

	  

 

 

  

670

  

 

	  	
the receipt of such instrument in writing and resolution shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, if moneys in excess of the sum of fifty thousand dollars 450,000) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section (except moneys which have theretofore been set aside for the purchase of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 or for the redemption of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 called for redemption) shall have remained on deposit for a period of ninety (90) days, such moneys so remaining on deposit shall promptly thereafter be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009. In such case the Trustee shall select by lot, in any manner determined by the Trustee to be equitable, from the Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to exhaust as nearly as may be the full amount of cash remaining on deposit with the Trustee pursuant to this Section, and shall notify the Company of the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. The Company shall thereupon cause notice of such redemption to be given.

Any Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 delivered to, or purchased or redeemed by, the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be reissued, and shall forthwith be canceled and periodically may be cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall thereupon deliver to the Company a certificate of such cancellation and cremation or destruction. So long as any Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 are outstanding, no Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 so delivered, purchased or redeemed and canceled shall be made the basis for the authentication and delivery of Bonds, or the withdrawal of cash or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be deposited with the Trustee under any provisions of the First Mortgage as amended or of this Twenty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

Upon the purchase or redemption by the Trustee of any Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 pursuant to the provisions of this Section:

(A)                 The Company shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to all interest to the date of purchase or redemption, as the case may be, on all the Bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 so purchased or redeemed, together with cash in the amount, if any, by which the aggregate

	  

  

671

  

	  	
purchase or redemption price (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 purchased or redeemed.  The cost of all advertising or publishing and all brokerage charges shall be paid by the company, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall forthwith be paid to it by the company upon demand.

(B)      The Trustee shall pay to or upon the order of the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, from any moneys deposited with the Trustee under this Section, an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of the bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009 purchased exceeds the aggregate purchase (excluding interest) paid by the Trustee for such bonds of the 121⁄8% Series Due 2009.

or upon the transfer of, any other Bond of such series, from the same date as such other Bond) at the rate of fourteen and one-half per centum (141⁄2%) per annum until paid or redeemed as hereinafter provided, payable on August 18, 1981 and thereafter semi-annually on each February 18 and August 18, to the Bondholders in whose names such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 are registered at the close of business on January 31 or July 31, as the case may be, next preceding such February 18 or August 18, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, such interest in default shall be paid to the Bondholders in whose names the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 are registered at the close of business on a date established for the payment of such defaulted interest by the Company in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Bonds may be listed; and shall be payable as to both principal and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

Section 4.  Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 shall be issued in the denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.

Whenever any Bond or Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in said Borough of Manhattan for exchange for a Bond or Bonds of such Series of other authorized denomination or denominations, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon cancellation of the Bond or Bonds so surrendered, a Bond or Bonds of such Series of such other authorized denomination or denominations of like aggregate principal amount as the Bondholder making the exchange shall have requested and shall be entitled to receive. On presentation of any Bond of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 which is to be redeemed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of this Article One in part only, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds of such Series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so presented.

The Company shall not be required to (a) register a transfer of, or exchange, any Bond of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of Bonds of such Series to

	  

  

717

  

	  	
be redeemed or (b) register a transfer of, or exchange, any Bond of such Series which shall have been selected for redemption in whole or in part.

	  
	  	
A service charge will not be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Until definitive Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 shall be ready for delivery, the Company may execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Bonds but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions except as to the denominations thereof, temporary printed or lithographed Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 as provided in Section 8 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended. Such temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds, when ready for delivery, in the manner provided in the First Mortgage as amended, and shall in all other respects be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage is amended as therein provided.

Section 5.  Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 may be redeemed, after August 17, 1987 and prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, in the manner provided in this Article One, as a whole at any time (but not in part), at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, together, if redeemed on or prior to December 17, 1987, with a premium equal to four percentum (4%) of the principal amount thereof, and, if redeemed thereafter, without premium.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 shall, so long as the purchaser (herein called the “Purchaser”) under the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined), or a nominee of the Purchaser, shall be a holder of any of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, or if any other institutional holder or its nominee or nominees shall at any time be the holder or holders of at least 3% in

	  

  

718

  

	  	
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 outstanding (any such other institutional holder being herein called an “Institutional Holder”), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee, and payment of the interest on such Bond of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 shall be made in such manner as shall be specified by such Purchaser or Institutional Holder in a written notice filed with the Company, and without any requirement of surrendering such Bond of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 to the Trustee. Until further notice from the Purchaser, such payments shall be made in respect of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 held by it as provided in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement. As a condition to making any such payment, there shall be filed with the Trustee an agreement by such Purchaser or other Institutional Holder (designating its nominee or nominees, if any) that it (a) will prior to transfer make notations on such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 of the portions thereof so redeemed and will also note the date to which interest has been paid on such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 and to make such notations thereon; and (c) promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee of any such Bond sold or transferred by such holder. Such condition shall be satisfied in the cue of the Purchaser by delivery of a signed copy of the Purchase Agreement. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to the Purchaser or any Institutional Holder or to the Company or to any other person for any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or the Purchaser or any Institutional Holder in connection with the foregoing. The Company will indemnify and save the Trustee harmless against any liabilities resulting from any such act or omission.

	  
	  	
As used in this Section the term “Purchase Agreement” means the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated February 18, 1981, between the Company and the original purchaser of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, a true and correct copy of such Purchase Agreement, certified as such by an officer of the Company, having been lodged with the Trustee and being available for inspection at its principal trust office.

Section 6.  Subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended, written notice of redemption of Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series

	  

  

719

  

	  	
Due 1988 pursuant to Section 5 of this Article One shall be given by the Trustee by mailing, first class postage prepaid, or delivering by hand to the registered owner of such Bonds to be redeemed a notice of such redemption at its last address as it shall appear upon the books of the Company for the registration and transfer of such Bonds. Any notice of redemption pursuant to said Section 5 shall be mailed or delivered by hand at least 30 days and not earlier than 60 days before the redemption date; provided, however, that the registered owner or owners of all Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 may consent in writing to a shorter notice period, and such consent, if filed with the Trustee, shall be binding upon the Company and such registered owners and their transferees.

	  
	  	
Section 7.  In the event of any redemption of less than all the outstanding Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, the Trustee shall select in the manner provided in Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended (subject to the provisions of this Section 7 of this Article One) the numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part. Any term of the First Mortgage as amended or of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as the Purchaser or any Institutional Holder, or a nominee of the Purchaser or any such Institutional Holder, shall be a holder of any of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, in case of any partial redemption of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, the Trustee shall prorate the principal amount of such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 to be redeemed among all holders of such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 in proportion to the principal amount of such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 registered in the name of each such holder and shall then designate for redemption with respect to each such holder particular Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 or portions thereof equal to the principal amount of Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 to be redeemed so prorated to such registered owner, provided, however, that in any such prorating pursuant to this paragraph the Trustee shall, according to such method as it shall deem proper in its discretion, make such adjustments by increasing or decreasing by not more than $1,000 the amount which would be allocable on the basis of exact proportion to any one or more holders of such Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988, as may be required to provide that the principal amount so prorated shall be in each instance an integral multiple of $1,000.

	  

  

720

  

	  	
Section 8. Notwithstanding any other provision of the First Mortgage as amended, Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 shall not be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Company (or by the Trustee on behalf of the Company) except for (a) optional redemptions as provided in Section 5 of this Article One, and (b) redemptions pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended utilizing cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended; provided, however, that a redemption described in clause (b) of this Section 8 shall not be made by the Company unless in any such clause there shall also be so redeemed a principal amount of Bonds of other series outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended bearing substantially the same (or greater) proportion to the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds (other than the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988) of all series then outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended as the principal amount of Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 then to be so redeemed bears to the principal amount of all Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 then outstanding.

Section 9.  Except as in this Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 at any time outstanding.

725

  

	  	
(b) stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to make such lien effective.

Section 5.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the First Mortgage, the Company will give appropriate directions to the Trustee with respect to the application of any cash balance at any time held in the Maintenance and Replacement Fund provided for in Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as amended so that there shall not be applied to the redemption of the Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 any portion of such balance. Nothing contained herein shall limit the right of the Company to deposit Bonds of the 141⁄2% Series Due 1988 with the Trustee in satisfaction (to the extent of the principal amount of such Bonds so deposited) of the Company’s obligation to make a deposit under said Section 5 of Article Eight.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond of the 17% Series Due 1991 may, if the Company so agrees with the registered holder thereof (or the person for whom such registered holder is a nominee if such person has filed with the Trustee a certificate to the effect that such registered holder is such person’s nominee), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the

Trustee if there shall have been filed with the Trustee a written undertaking of such registered holder, for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Company, that such registered holder (a) will promptly and prior to any transfer make notations on such Bond of the 17% Series Due 1991 of the portions thereof so redeemed and the date to which interest has been paid thereon; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect, at any reasonable time, such notations (and, in default of such notations having been made, to make such notations); and (c) will not dispose of such Bond of the 17% Series Due 1991 or any interest thereon unless, prior to the delivery thereof, such Bond either shall have been presented to the Trustee for appropriate notation (or confirmation of notation) thereon of the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been redeemed and the date to which interest has been paid thereon or shall have been surrendered to the Trustee in exchange for a new Bond or Bonds of the 17% Series Due 1991 aggregating the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to any Bondholder or to the Company or to any other person for any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any Bondholder in connection with the foregoing. The Company will indemnify and save the Trustee harmless against any liabilities resulting from any such act or omission or any action of the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph.

In connection with redemption, the term “proceeds of released property” as used in this Section shall mean cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended and applied to the redemption of Bonds of the 17% Series Due 1991 pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended

Except as in this Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the Bonds of the 17% Series Due 1991 at any time outstanding.

Nothing contained herein shall limit the right of the Company to deposit Bonds of the 17% Series Due 1991 with the Trustee in satisfaction (to the extent of the principal amount of such Bonds so deposited) of the Company’s obligation to make a deposit under said Section 5 of Article Eight.
