IDACORP, Inc.

 

                      Note, Series

 

1.             This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of February 1, 2001 between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 1, 2001 and the              Supplemental Indenture dated as of                      (herein called, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered.  As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted.  This Note is one of a series designated as                  Note, Series      , [due                         ] (the “Series                 Notes”) limited to $                     in aggregate principal amount.  The Series      Notes may be issued at various times with different maturity dates and different principal repayment provisions, may bear interest at different rates, and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.

 

2.             A.  The record date (the “Regular Record Date”) with respect to any Interest Payment Date (as defined below) shall be the close of business on [the last day of the calendar month] [the fifteenth day of the calendar month] preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such date shall be a Business Day (unless otherwise set forth herein).  Interest that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the first payment of interest on any Note with an Original Issue Date between a Regular Record Date and the succeeding Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the immediately succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered owner on such immediately succeeding Regular Record Date; and provided, further, that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. “Maturity” means the date on which the principal amount hereof becomes due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity or earlier by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest that is payable but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered owner hereof on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail, by or on behalf of the Company to such Holder not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than ten days preceding the date for payment of such defaulted interest, or may be paid as more fully provided in the Indenture.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a

 

A-2

 

Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed in The City of New York.

 

B.            The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount from its Original Issue Date at the rate per annum stated on the face hereof until the principal amount hereof is paid or made available for payment.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the Company will pay interest semi-annually each                    and                    (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing (except as set forth above in the case of a Note with an Original Issue Date between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date) with the Interest Payment Date immediately following the Original Issue Date and at Maturity.  If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue by reason of such delayed payment.  Each payment of interest in respect of an Interest Payment Date shall include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date.  Interest on Fixed Rate Series       Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months (unless otherwise specified herein).

 

3.             Payments of interest (other than interest payable at Maturity) will be made by mailing a check to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the Securities Register of the Company on the applicable Regular Record Date, unless otherwise determined by the Company.  The principal amount hereof and any premium and the interest payable at Maturity will be paid at Maturity against presentation of this Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

 

4.             If specified above, this Note may be redeemed, as a whole or from time to time in part, at the option of the Company, on not less than 30 days’ prior notice given as provided in the Indenture, on any Redemption Date(s) and at the related Redemption Price(s) (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount hereof) set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to such Redemption Date.  If no such Redemption Date is set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be so redeemed prior to the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof.  If fewer than all the Outstanding Series       Notes of like tenor and terms are to be redeemed, the particular Series       Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date from the Outstanding Series       Notes of like tenor or terms not previously called for redemption.  Such selection shall be of principal amounts in increments of $1,000.  Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, such selection shall be made by lot.  The notice of such redemption shall specify which Series       Notes are to be redeemed.  In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series of like tenor or terms for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued to the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

 

5.             If specified above, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof on the Repayment Date(s) and at the related Repayment Price(s) (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount hereof) indicated on the face hereof.  If no such Repayment Date is set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be so repaid prior to the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof.  On each Repayment Date, if any, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof at the applicable Repayment Price set forth on

 

A-3

 

the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to such Repayment Date. In order for this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive not less than 30 but not more than 45 days prior to the Repayment Date (i) the Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the Holder of the Note, the principal amount of the Note, the certificate number of the Note or a description of the Note’s tenor or terms, the principal amount of the Note to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Note to be repaid with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Note duly completed will be received by such Paying Agent no later than five Business Days after the date of such facsimile transmission or letter and such Note and form duly completed are received by such Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.  Exercise of such repayment option shall be irrevocable.  Such option may be exercised by the Holder for less than the entire principal amount provided that the principal amount remaining outstanding after repayment is an authorized denomination.

 

6.             If an Event of Default with respect to the Series       Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all of the Series       Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

7.             The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected thereby (voting as one class).  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive past defaults or certain Events of Default under the Indenture, with certain exceptions as therein provided, and their consequences with respect to such series, prior to the acceleration with respect to the Securities of such series.  In the case of any such waiver, the Holder of this Note shall be restored to his former position and rights hereunder, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any related Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

8.             No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall affect or impair the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the places, at the times, at the rates, in the amounts and in the coin or currency as prescribed herein and in the Indenture.

 

9.             Series       Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

A-4

 

10.           As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Securities Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose in The City of New York.  Every Note presented for registration of transfer shall (if so required by the Company or the Securities Registrar) be duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar duly executed, by the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Series       Notes of like tenor and terms of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Series       Notes to be redeemed for a period of fifteen days preceding the date of the mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or to exchange any such Note or portion thereof selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any such Note being redeemed in part.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.  Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whether or not such Note be overdue and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

11.           Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

12.           This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Idaho.

WHEREAS the Indenture provides in Article III thereof that, prior to the issuance of Securities of any series, the form of such Securities and the terms applicable to such series shall be established in, or pursuant to, the authority granted in a resolution of the Board of Directors (delivered to the Trustee in the form of a Board Resolution) or established in one or more indentures supplemental thereto;

 

WHEREAS the Issuer desires by this Supplemental Indenture, among other things, to establish the form of the Securities of a series of the Issuer, and to establish the terms applicable to such series, pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 10.1(e) of the Indenture;

 

WHEREAS the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture by the parties hereto are in all respects authorized by the provisions of the Indenture; and

 

WHEREAS all things necessary have been done to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with its terms.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS                SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

 

For and in consideration of the premises, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, as follows:

ARTICLE I.

 

                           Notes, Series   

 

SECTION 1. The title of the series of the Securities established by this Supplemental Indenture shall be “                 Notes, Series     , due                     ” of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Series      Notes”). The Series      Notes shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) until the principal amount thereof has been duly paid or provided for in full, at a rate per annum equal to       % and at the same rate per annum on any overdue principal or (to the extent legally enforceable) on any overdue installment of interest (the “Overdue Rate”).

 

SECTION 2. The Series      Notes shall be limited in aggregate principal amount to $                        , and shall be issued substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof), subject to changes in the form thereof made by the Issuer and acceptable to the Trustee. The Series      Notes shall mature on                     .

 

Interest shall be payable [quarterly] in arrears on the            day of                     ,                     ,                    and              (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and at Maturity. If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day. If Maturity would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest due at Maturity shall be made on the next day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment.

 

Each payment of interest with respect of an Interest Payment Date or at Maturity shall include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be (an “Interest Period”).

 

Interest on any Series      Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name such Series      Note is registered at the close of business on the                  day of the month next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). In the case of any Series      Note issued between a Regular Record Date and the initial Interest Payment Date, interest for the period beginning on the date of issue and ending on the initial Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person to whom such Series      Note shall have been originally issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest that is payable but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered owner of such Series      Note on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the person in whose name such Series      Note is registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date established by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Indenture or as otherwise provided in Section 3.8 of the Indenture.

 

Payments of interest on any Series      Note (other than interest payable at Maturity) will be made by mailing a check to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the Securities Register on the applicable record date, unless otherwise agreed to by the Issuer.

 

3

 

The principal amount thereof and any premium and the interest payable at Maturity will be paid at Maturity against presentation of a Series      Note at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

 

[The Series      Notes are not redeemable prior to Maturity and the provisions of Article XIV of the Indenture are inapplicable.]

 

[The Series      Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund and the provisions of Article XV of the Indenture are inapplicable thereto.]

 

The Series      Notes are subject to the provisions of Article XII of the Indenture, which provide for the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture under the circumstances and on the conditions set forth therein.

 

SECTION 3. The Series   Notes may be issued in whole or in part as one or more Global Securities and The Depository Trust Company, or a nominee thereof, shall be the Depository for such Global Security or Global Securities, except in each case as otherwise provided in a Company Order with respect to any Series      Notes. The Depository for such Global Security or Global Securities representing Series      Notes may surrender one or more Global Securities representing Series      Notes in exchange in whole or in part for individual Series      Notes on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depository and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 2.4 of the Indenture.

 

SECTION 4. The Issuer hereby appoints, or confirms the appointment of, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the initial Trustee, Securities Registrar and Paying Agent, subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect to resignation, removal and succession, and subject, further, to the right of the Issuer to appoint additional agents (including Paying Agents). An Authenticating Agent may be appointed for the Series      Notes under the circumstances set forth in, and subject to the provisions of, the Indenture.
