The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustees and their successors in said trust under the Mortgage, as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

EIGHTIETH SERIES OF BONDS

 

SECTION 1. There shall be a series of bonds designated “3.05% Series due June 1, 2023” (herein sometimes called the “Eightieth Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond”, and the form thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified.  Bonds of the Eightieth Series (which shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 shall mature on June 1, 2023, shall be issued as fully registered bonds in the denomination of One thousand Dollars and, at the option of the Company, in any multiple or multiples of One thousand Dollars (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof), shall bear interest at the rate of 3.05% per annum, the first interest payment to be made on December 1, 2013, for the period from May 30, 2013 to December 1, 2013 with subsequent interest payments payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, and the principal of and interest on each said bond shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.

 

Interest on the bonds of the Eightieth Series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity of any bond of the Eightieth Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding Interest Payment Date or redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Corporate Trustee is closed for business.

 

So long as all of the bonds of the Eightieth Series are held by The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, or a successor thereof, the record date for the payment of interest on the bonds of the Eightieth Series shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the record date for the payment of interest which is paid after such Interest Payment Date, shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such interest is paid.  Interest on the bonds of the Eightieth Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name such bonds of the Eightieth Series are registered at the close of business on the record date for the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

 

(I) Form of Bonds of the Eightieth Series.

 

  The Bonds of the Eightieth Series, and the Corporate Trustee’s authentication certificate to be executed on the Bonds of the Eightieth Series, shall be in substantially the following forms, respectively:

in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts, and to pay to the registered owner hereof interest thereon from May 30, 2013, if the date of this bond is prior to December 1, 2013, or if the date of this bond is on or after December 1, 2013, from the June 1 or December 1 next preceding the date of this bond to which interest has been paid (unless the date hereof is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case from the date hereof), at the rate of 3.05% per annum in like coin or currency at said office or agency on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2013, until the principal of this bond shall have become due and payable, and to pay interest on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under the applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the rate of 6% per annum.  So long as this bond is held by The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, or a successor thereof, the record date for the payment of interest hereon shall be the Business Day (as defined in the Seventy-third Supplemental Indenture referred to below) immediately preceding the date on which interest is due; provided, however, that the record date for the payment of interest which is paid after the date on which such interest is due, shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such interest is paid.  Interest hereon shall be paid to the Person in whose name this bond is registered at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such interest.  If any interest payment date for this bond falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date.  If the maturity date or any redemption date of this bond falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest (to the extent payable with respect to the principal being redeemed if on a redemption date) will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the maturity date or such redemption date.

 

This bond is a temporary bond and is one of an issue of bonds of the Company issuable in series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 3.05% Series due June 1, 2023 all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking or other fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indenture supplemental thereto, including the Seventy-third Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 2013, called the Mortgage), dated as of October 1, 1944, executed by the Company to Guaranty Trust Company of New York (Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, successor) and, as to property, real or personal, situated or being in Missouri, Marvin A. Mueller (The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, successor), as Trustees.

With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or the rights of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage may be modified or altered by such affirmative vote or votes of the holders of bonds then outstanding as are specified in the Mortgage.

In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, this bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, together with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, and thereupon a new fully registered temporary or definitive bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage.  The Company and the Trustees may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustees shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, any bonds of this series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.

 

In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, this temporary bond is exchangeable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, without charge, for a definitive bond or bonds of the same series of a like aggregate principal amount when such definitive bonds are prepared and ready for delivery.

 

As provided in the Mortgage, the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of any series for a period of ten days next preceding any interest payment date for bonds of said series, or next preceding any designation of bonds of said series to be redeemed, and the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of any bonds designated in whole or in part for redemption.

 

The bonds of this series are subject to redemption as provided in the Seventy-third Supplemental Indenture.

 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

 

This bond shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

(II)           The bonds of the Eightieth Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time prior to March 1, 2023 (three months prior to the maturity date of the bonds of the Eightieth Series), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the Eightieth Series being redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the bonds of the Eightieth Series being redeemed (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted (for purposes of determining such present values) to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 0.20%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

 

As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the respective meanings specified unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

 

The term “Adjusted Treasury Rate” shall mean, with respect to any redemption date:

 

(1)           the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the bonds of the Eightieth Series, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or

 

(2)           if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date for the Adjusted Treasury Rate or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

 

The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

 

The term “Comparable Treasury Issue” shall mean the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the bonds of the Eightieth Series that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the bonds of the Eightieth Series.

 

The term “Comparable Treasury Price” shall mean, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

 

The term “Independent Investment Banker” shall mean one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time, or, if any of such firms is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

 

The term “Reference Treasury Dealer” shall mean (i) Barclays Capital Inc., and RBS Securities Inc., or an affiliate thereof, and their respective successors, (ii) a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Stephens Inc.; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (iii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company.

 

The term “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” shall mean, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

 

The bonds of the Eightieth Series shall also be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time on or after March 1, 2023, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the bonds of the Eightieth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, such redemption date.

 

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

 

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

 

Bonds of the Eightieth Series shall be transferable, upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, together with a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the registrar duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

 

Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Eightieth Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of said Series.

 

Upon the delivery of this Seventy-third Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, there shall be an initial issue of bonds of the Eightieth Series for the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000.  Additional bonds of the Eightieth Series, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the Outstanding bonds of the Eightieth Series (except for the issue date, price to public and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date) may be issued by the Company without the notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the bonds of the Eightieth Series.

Exhibit 10.21

Summary of Agreement between Precision Castparts Corp. (PCC) and Roger Cooke
May 29, 2013

		
	1.
	 For the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, Mr. Cooke will be available to perform services for the company for 48 days in the aggregate.  The CEO of the Company or his designee will provide assignments from time to time during the one year period. To the extent possible, the work will be scheduled so it does not all occur in a concentrated period, but rather falls into each of the four calendar quarters. Any expansion of services beyond 48 days will be based on mutually agreeable terms and conditions.  

		
	2.
	The Company will pay Mr. Cooke a fixed retainer of $106,000 for the 48 days of service. The retainer will be paid quarterly in advance.  The Company reserves the right to terminate this arrangement at the end of any quarterly period; Mr. Cooke has the same right to terminate the arrangement. If the Company terminates the arrangement and there is an imbalance between the hours worked and the retainer paid in favor of the Company, the Company will make an adjustment. 

		
	3.
	The Company will reimburse Mr. Cooke for routine expenses incurred in the performance of the services called for above.

		
	4.
	Under this arrangement, Mr. Cooke will be an independent contractor to the Company. He will not be entitled to the benefits of an employee or be eligible to receive stock options or health benefits, but can be considered for a discretionary bonus based on individual and corporate results achieved.

		
	5.
	Mr. Cooke will be solely responsible for the payment of all income, social security and other taxes, including estimated taxes, owed on the retainer payments.
