FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 

FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of March 14, 2012 (this “Supplemental Indenture”), among Florida East Coast Holdings Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), the direct parent company of Florida East Coast Railway Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), each existing subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture referred to below (the “Existing Guarantors”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as notes collateral agent (the “Notes Collateral Agent”) under the Indenture referred to below.

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer, the Existing Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent have heretofore become parties to an Indenture, dated as of January 25, 2011 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 81/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, Parent Guarantor owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Issuer;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1009 of the Indenture, the Issuer is permitted to satisfy its obligations in connection with reporting and other information under Section 1009 of the Indenture with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer which becomes a guarantor of the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Parent Guarantor desires to become a guarantor of the Notes and unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Parent Guarantor desires to enter into this Supplemental Indenture for good and valuable consideration, including substantial economic benefit in that the financial performance and condition of such Parent Guarantor is dependent on the financial performance and condition of the Issuer, which is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of such Parent Guarantor; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Indenture, the parties hereto are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture to amend the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer, the Existing Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent mutually covenant and agree for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

 

1

 

1.                                       CAPITALIZED TERMS.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

2.                                       AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE.  The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

(a)                                  The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees to become a party to the Indenture as a guarantor and as such will have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations and agreements of a guarantor under the Indenture.  The Parent Guarantor agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of the Indenture applicable to a guarantor and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of a guarantor under the Indenture.

 

(b)                                 The Parent Guarantor agrees, on a joint and several basis with all the Existing Guarantors, to fully, unconditionally and irrevocably Guarantee to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee the Obligations pursuant to and subject to the other conditions set forth in Article Twelve of the Indenture on a senior unsecured basis.

 

(c)                                  Except for the provisions set forth in Section 1205 of the Indenture, Article Twelve of the Indenture shall apply to the Parent Guarantor mutatis mutandis.

 

4.                                       NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Parent Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Parent Guarantor under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.  Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

 

5.                                       NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN.  THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 

6.                                       COUNTERPARTS.  This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.  The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes.  Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

 

7.                                       EFFECT OF HEADINGS.  The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

8.                                       THE TRUSTEE.  The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or

 

2

 

in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Parent Guarantor and the Issuer.

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, Public Service Company of Indiana (hereinafter commonly referred to as the “Initial Mortgagor”), prior to its consolidation with certain other corporations to form the Company, executed and delivered to the Trustee a certain indenture of mortgage or deed of trust (hereinafter called the “original Indenture” when referred to as existing prior to any amendment thereto, and the “Indenture” when referred to as heretofore, now or hereafter amended), dated September 1, 1939, and a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of March 1, 1941, to secure the bonds of the Initial Mortgagor, its successors and assigns, issued from time to time under the Indenture in series for the purposes of and subject to the limitations specified in the Indenture; and

WHEREAS, after said consolidation, the Company executed and delivered a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1941, to the original Indenture for the purposes, among others, of (i) the making by the Company of an agreement of assumption and adoption by it of the Indenture, (ii) the assumption by the Company of the bonds (and interest and premium, if any, thereon) issued or to be issued under the Indenture, and of all terms, covenants and conditions binding upon it under the Indenture, and the agreeing by the Company to pay, perform and fulfill the same, and (iii) the conveying to the Trustee upon the trusts declared in the Indenture, but subject to any outstanding liens and encumbrances, all the property which the Company then owned or which it might thereafter acquire, except property of a character similar to the property of the Initial Mortgagor which is excluded from the lien of the Indenture; and

ARTICLE I.

 

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, SERIES UUU, 4.20%, DUE MARCH 15, 2042

 

Section 1.  There are hereby created a sixty-sixth series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Indenture, to be designated as “Duke Energy Indiana, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series UUU, 4.20%, Due March 15, 2042” (such series being the Bonds of Series UUU hereinbefore referred to).

 

Section 2.  The following provisions shall apply to the Bonds of Series UUU.

 

4

 

(a)  The Bonds of Series UUU shall be issued in fully registered form only.  However, except as provided elsewhere in this Section, the registered owner of all of the Bonds of Series UUU initially shall be The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee, and such Bonds of Series UUU initially shall be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee.  Payment of the principal of or interest on Bonds of Series UUU registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall be made in the manner specified in DTC’s rules and by-laws.  DTC (and any successor securities depository) and its (or their) participating institutions (collectively “Participants”) shall maintain a book-entry registration and transfer system with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the Bonds of Series UUU (the “Book-Entry System”).

 

(b)  The Bonds of Series UUU, initially shall be issued in the form of one or more authenticated, fully registered bonds for such series (each a “Global Security”) which (i) need not be in the form of a lithographed or engraved certificate, but may be typewritten or printed on ordinary paper or such paper as the Trustee may reasonably request, (ii) shall represent and be denominated in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of Series UUU issued under this Supplemental Indenture, (iii) shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (iv) shall be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, and delivered to DTC or its nominee or a custodian therefor, and (v) shall contain the following legend on the face thereof:

 

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered holder hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

 

Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds of Series UUU in definitive certificated form, each Global Security representing the Bonds of Series UUU may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor securities depository or a nominee of any such successor securities depository.

 

(c)  The Trustee and the Company may treat Cede & Co. or its nominee, or any successor securities depository or nominee thereof (collectively, the “Depository”) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds of Series UUU,

 

5

 

registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds of Series UUU, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to holders of the Bonds of Series UUU, under the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, registering the transfer of the Bonds of Series UUU, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by holders of the Bonds of Series UUU, and for all other purposes whatsoever and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.  Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any registrar nor any paying agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds of Series UUU under or through the Depository or any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the registration books as being a holder of the Bonds of Series UUU with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by the Depository or any Participant; (ii) the payment by the Depository to any Participant of any amount in respect of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds of Series UUU; (iii) the payment by any Participant to any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds of Series UUU, in respect of the principal of or interest on the Bonds of Series UUU or (iv) any consent or other action taken by the Depository as owner of the Bonds of Series UUU.  The Trustee shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds of Series UUU only to or upon the order of the registered holder or holders of the Bonds of Series UUU, as shown on the registration books, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligations with respect to the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Bonds of Series UUU, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a holder of the Bonds of Series UUU, as shown on the registration books of DTC, shall receive an authenticated Bond evidencing the obligation of the Company to make payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds of Series UUU, pursuant to the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee for Cede & Co, and subject to the provisions of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the word “Cede & Co.”, as used in this Supplemental Indenture, shall refer to each new nominee of DTC.

 

(d)  In the event that after the occurrence of an event of default that has not been cured or waived, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Bonds of Series UUU, as reflected in the books and records of the Depository, notify the Trustee, through the Depository or any Participant, that the continuation of the Book-Entry System is no longer in the best interests of such holders of beneficial interests in the Bonds of such Series, then the Trustee shall notify the Depository and the Company, and the Depository will notify the Participants of the availability through the Depository of definitive certificated Bonds of such Series.  In such event, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company, signed by its President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary (an “Issuer Order”), for the authentication and delivery of definitive certificated Bonds of Series UUU, will authenticate and deliver Bonds of such Series in definitive certificated form, in any authorized denominations, all pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, to the person or persons specified to the Trustee in writing by the Depository in the aggregate principal amount of the

 

6

 

applicable Global Security or Securities and in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

 

(e)  If at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Bonds of Series UUU, or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be registered as a clearing agency in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company may appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Bonds of such Series.  If a successor Depository for the Bonds of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive certificated Bonds of Series UUU, will authenticate and deliver Bonds of such Series in definitive certificated form, in any authorized denominations, all pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, to the person or persons specified to the Trustee in writing by the Depository in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security or Securities and in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

 

(f)  The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Bonds of Series UUU shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Securities.  In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive certificated Bonds of such Series, will authenticate and deliver Bonds of Series UUU in definitive certificated form, in any authorized denominations, all pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, to the person or persons specified to the Trustee in writing by the Depository in the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or Securities and in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

 

(g)  Upon the exchange of any Global Security for the Bonds of Series UUU in definitive certificated form, in authorized denominations, the Global Security or Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee.

 

(h)  Whenever the Depository requests the Company and the Trustee to do so, the Trustee and the Company will cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to (i) make available one or more separate Global Securities evidencing the Bonds of Series UUU to any Participant having Bonds of such Series credited to its account at the Depository, or (ii) arrange for another Depository to maintain custody of the Global Security or Securities evidencing the Bonds of Series UUU.

 

(i)  In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to holders of the Bonds of Series UUU pursuant to the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture by the Company or the Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by holders of the Bonds of such Series, the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or other action and give the Depository notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible.  Such notice to the Depository shall be given only so long as a Depository or its nominee is the sole holder of the Bonds of Series UUU.

The Bonds of Series UUU and the Trustee’s certificate to be endorsed thereon shall be substantially in the following form:

(FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND OF SERIES UUU)

 

This bond is one of the bonds of the Company issued and to be issued from time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by an indenture of mortgage or deed of trust, dated September 1, 1939, from Public Service Company of Indiana (predecessor of the Company) to The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, to which Deutsche Bank National Trust Company is successor trustee (which indenture as amended by all supplemental indentures is hereinafter referred to as the “Indenture”). Said Trustee or its successor in trust under the Indenture is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Trustee.” Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged and the nature and extent of the security for said bonds. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date, amount, dates of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as in the Indenture provided.

 

This bond is one of a series designated as “Duke Energy Indiana, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series UUU, 4.20%, Due March 15, 2042” (hereinafter referred to as the “Bonds of Series UUU”) of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture and created by a Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 15, 2012 (the “Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), which also amends the Indenture.

 

The rights and obligations of the Company and of the bearers and registered owners of bonds may be modified or amended with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding at a meeting of bondholders called for the purpose (and by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of bonds of any series affected by such modification or amendment in case one or more, but less than all, series of bonds are so affected), all in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, any consent by the bearer or registered owner of any bond being conclusive and binding upon such bearer or registered owner and upon all future bearers or registered owners of such bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made on such bond; provided that no such modification or amendment shall, among other things, extend the maturity or reduce the amount of, or reduce the rate of interest on, or otherwise modify the terms of the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on this bond, which obligations are absolute and unconditional, or permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property.  The Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture provides that at any time when no bonds issued under the Indenture prior to the issuance of the “PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series BBB, 8%, Due July 15, 2009” are outstanding, the Company reserves the right to amend the Indenture, without the consent or other action by the holders of the bonds outstanding at that time, to decrease the seventy-five per centum (75%) vote requirement referred to above to sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66-2/3%).

 

11

 

At any time before September 15, 2041, the Bonds of Series UUU will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 0.15% (15 basis points), plus, in each case, accrued interest to the redemption date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest that is due and payable on an interest payment date falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on such interest payment date in accordance with the Bonds of Series UUU and the Indenture.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the redemption price with respect to any redemption pursuant to this paragraph promptly after the calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said redemption price.

 

At any time on or after September 15, 2041, the Bonds of Series UUU will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

 

“Business Day” means any day other than a day on which banks in New York City are required or authorized to be closed.

 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed 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 a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Bonds of Series UUU.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Bonds of Series UUU, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

 

“Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, plus two other financial institutions appointed by the Company at the time of any redemption or their affiliates which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

12

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, 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 Quotation Agent by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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.

“Section 51. At any time before September 15, 2041, the Bonds of Series UUU will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 0.15% (15 basis points), plus, in each case, accrued interest to the redemption date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest that is due and payable on an interest payment date falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on such interest payment date in accordance with the Bonds of Series UUU and the Indenture.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the redemption price with respect to any redemption pursuant to this paragraph promptly after the calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said redemption price.

 

At any time on or after September 15, 2041, the Bonds of Series UUU will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

 

‘Business Day’ means any day other than a day on which banks in New York City are required or authorized to be closed.

 

18

 

‘Comparable Treasury Issue’ means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of a corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Bonds of Series UUU.

 

‘Comparable Treasury Price’ means, with respect to any redemption date for the Bonds of Series UUU, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

 

‘Quotation Agent’ means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

 

‘Reference Treasury Dealer’ means each of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, plus two other financial institutions appointed by the Company at the time of any redemption or their affiliates which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

‘Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations’ means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, 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 Quotation Agent by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

 

‘Treasury Rate’ means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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.

 

Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any redemption date to each holder of Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed.  If less than all the Bonds of Series UUU are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, and if the Bonds of Series UUU are not Global Securities, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the Bonds of Series UUU to be redeemed in whole or in part.

 

19

 

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds of Series UUU or portions thereof called for redemption.

 

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses, fees (including attorneys’ fees), court costs, judgments, penalties, obligations, suits, disbursements and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee by reason of or arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly by any act or omission of the Trustee with respect to this Section 51, except for such that would arise out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee and except for costs and expenses arising in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s business.”

 

Section 3.  The Bonds of Series UUU shall not be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund.

 

ARTICLE IV.

 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE.

 

The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts hereby declared and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions in the Indenture and in this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture set forth.

Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Indenture shall thereupon be deemed to be amended as hereinabove set forth as fully and with the same effect as if the amendments made hereby were set forth in the original Indenture and each of the sixty-five supplemental indentures to the Indenture shall henceforth be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument; but such amendments shall not operate so as to

 

20

 

render invalid or improper any action heretofore taken under the original Indenture or said supplemental indentures.

 

Section 3. All the covenants, stipulations and agreements in this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture contained are and shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns, and of the holders from time to time of the bonds.

 

Section 4.  The table of contents to, and the headings of the different articles of, this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture are inserted for convenience of reference, and are not to be taken to be any part of the provisions hereof, nor to control or affect the meaning, construction or effect of the same.

 

Section 5.  This Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in any number of counterparts, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 6.  Whenever a payment of principal or interest in respect of the Bonds of Series UUU are due on any day other than a business day (as hereinafter defined), such payment shall be payable on the first business day next following such date, and, in the case of a principal payment, interest on such principal payment shall accrue to the date of such principal payment.
