ARTICLE ONE

BONDS OF THE 2025 SERIES AND

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING THERETO

 

Section 1.01

 

 

A.           Terms of Bonds of the 2025 Series.  There is hereby established a new series of Bonds to be issued under and secured by the Indenture, to be known as and entitled “First Mortgage Bonds, 3.78% Series due April 1, 2025”. The definitive Bonds of the 2025 Series shall be registered Bonds without coupons of the denominations of $1,000 and in multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof as shall be authorized by written order of the Company, numbered R-1 consecutively upwards. Bonds of the 2025 Series may be issued in the first instance (until definitive Bonds to be issued in exchange therefor are prepared and ready for delivery) as temporary Bonds dated July 1, 2014, in denominations of $1,000 and of such multiples of $1,000 as shall have been authorized, as aforesaid, numbered TR-1 consecutively upwards, in substantially the form of Bond set forth in Section 1.01B of this Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture, with changes therein appropriate to their character.

 

 

Bonds of the 2025 Series shall be dated as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the provisions of said Section 3.05, so long as there is no default in the payment of interest on Bonds of the 2025 Series existing at the time of the authentication hereinafter referred to, all Bonds of the 2025 Series authenticated by the Trustee between the record date (as hereinafter in this Section defined) for any interest payment date for Bonds of the 2025 Series and such interest payment date shall be dated the date of and shall bear interest from such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of such interest due on such interest payment date, then any such Bond of the 2025 Series shall bear interest from the interest payment date immediately preceding the date of such Bond of the 2025 Series. The Bonds of the 2025 Series shall mature on April 1, 2025 and, beginning on July 1, 2014, shall bear interest at the rate of 3.78% per annum until the payment of the principal thereof, such interest to be payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 in each year, commencing October 1, 2014, and on the maturity date. If any interest payment date for the Bonds of the 2025 Series 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 the Bonds of the 2025 Series falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal (and premium, if any) 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. Interest on the Bonds of the 2025 Series will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

 

The person in whose name any Bond of the 2025 Series is registered at the close of business on any record date with regard to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such record date and prior to such interest payment date, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest. So long as Bonds of the 2025 Series are held by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee in book-entry only form, the term “record date” as used in this Section with regard to any interest payment date shall mean the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such interest payment date. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds of the 2025 Series will be paid in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, of the Trustee.

 

 

The definitive Bonds of the 2025 Series may be issued in the form of Bonds engraved, printed, lithographed, or partly engraved and partly printed or lithographed, on steel engraved borders or typed.

 

 

Upon compliance with the provisions of Section 3.10 of the Indenture and upon payment, at the option of the Company, of the charges provided in Section 3.11 of the Indenture, subject to the provisions of any legend set forth thereon, Bonds of the 2025 Series may be exchanged for a new Bond or Bonds of the said Series of different authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount.

 

 

The Trustee hereunder shall, by virtue of its office as such Trustee, be the registrar and transfer agent of the Company for the purpose of registering and transferring Bonds of the 2025 Series.

 

 

B.           Form of Bonds of the 2025 Series. The Bonds of the 2025 Series, and the Trustee’s authentication certificate to be executed on the Bonds of the 2025 Series, shall be in substantially the following forms, respectively:

ENTERGY GULF STATES LOUISIANA, L.L.C.

 

 

FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, 3.78% SERIES

 

 

DUE APRIL 1, 2025 (Continued)

 

 

This bond is one of the bonds, of the above designated series, of an authorized issue of bonds of the Company, known as First Mortgage Bonds, issued or issuable in one or more series under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking and/or improvement fund or other fund established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned may afford additional security for the bonds of any specific series) by an Indenture of Mortgage dated September 1, 1926, as supplemented and modified by indentures supplemental thereto, to and including a Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 1, 2014 to The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, to which Indenture of Mortgage, as so supplemented and modified, and all indentures supplemental thereto (herein sometimes called the Indenture) reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged as security for said bonds, the nature and extent of the security, and the rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the rights of the holders of said bonds and of the Trustee and of the Company in respect of such security, and the terms upon which said bonds may be issued thereunder.

 

 

This bond is redeemable as provided in the Indenture, including the right of the Company to give notice of redemption conditioned upon its deposit of funds provided for in the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture with respect to this series.

 

 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent in principal amount of the bonds (exclusive of the bonds disqualified by reason of the Company’s interest therein) at the time outstanding, including, if more than one series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less than sixty percent in principal amount of each series affected, to effect, by an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Indenture and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the bonds; provided, however, that no such modification or alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the registered owner hereof which will (a) extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest hereon or reduce the amount of the principal hereof, or (b) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture, or (c) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of the bonds upon the approval or consent of the holders of which modifications or alterations may be made as aforesaid. Each initial and future holder of the bonds of this series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article Three of the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.

 

 

This bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney at the corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, of the Trustee upon surrender of this bond for cancellation and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges provided for in the Indenture, and thereupon a new registered bond of the same series of like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

 

 

The registered owner of this bond, at the option of said owner, may surrender the same for cancellation at said office and receive in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series but of other authorized denominations, upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges provided for in the Indenture and subject to the terms and conditions therein set forth.

 

 

If a default as defined in the Indenture shall occur, the principal of this bond may become or be declared due and payable before maturity in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The holders, however, of certain specified percentages of the bonds at the time outstanding, including in certain cases specified percentages of bonds of particular series, may in those cases, to the extent and under the conditions provided in the Indenture, waive certain defaults thereunder and the consequences of such defaults.

 

 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, director or officer, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor company, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor company, under any constitution or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, shareholders, directors and officers, as such, being waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and as provided in the Indenture.

Section 1.02.  Redemption Provisions for Bonds of the 2025 Series.  The Bonds of the 2025 Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice (which redemption may be made subject to the deposit of the redemption moneys with the Trustee prior to the date designated for redemption) mailed to each registered owner at its last address appearing on the bond register not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time prior to January 1, 2025 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Bonds of the 2025 Series), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds of the 2025 Series to be redeemed and (b) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of (i) the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on such Bonds of the 2025 Series to be 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 interest thereon to the redemption date.

 

 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, 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 2025 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 semi­annual 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.

 

 

“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 Trustee is closed for business.

 

 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means 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 2025 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 2025 Series.

 

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

 

 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that we appoint 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.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) Barclays Capital Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., or, in each case, an affiliate thereof, and their respective successors; 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 (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, 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 2025 Series shall also 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 on or after January 1, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the 2025 Series to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date.

 

 

Section 1.03.  Limitation on Issue of Bonds of the 2025 Series.  The principal amount of the Bonds of the 2025 Series shall not be limited except as provided in Section 3.01 of the Indenture, and except as may otherwise be provided in an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, including this Section 1.03. Upon the delivery of this Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, there shall be an initial issue of Bonds of the 2025 Series in the aggregate principal amount of $110,000,000. Additional Bonds of the 2025 Series having substantially the same terms as the outstanding Bonds of the 2025 Series (except for the issue date, the price to public and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date) may be issued by the Company, subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the Indenture, without the notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the Bonds of the 2025 Series.

 

 

Section 1.04.  Duration of Effectiveness of Article One.  Sections 1.01 and 1.02 of this article shall be of force and effect only so long as any Bonds of the 2025 Series are outstanding.

 

  

  

  

 

ARTICLE TWO

 

 

Section 2.01.  This Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture is executed and shall be construed as an indenture supplemental to the Original Indenture as supplemented and modified.

The consents described in this Section shall be in writing and may be in any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by holders or by their attorneys or proxies appointed in writing or in the supplemental indentures or other instruments creating the series of Bonds held by such holders.
