In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity of any bond of the Seventy-second Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, 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 Trustee is closed for business.

 

 

So long as all of the bonds of the Seventy-second 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 Seventy-second Series shall be the close of business on 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 Seventy-second Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name such bonds of the Seventy-second Series are registered at the close of business on the record date for the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

 

 

The Company reserves the right to establish, at any time, by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a form of coupon bond, and of appurtenant coupons, for the Seventy-second Series and to provide for exchangeability of such coupon bonds with the bonds of said Series issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate provisions for such purpose.

 

 

(I) The bonds of the Seventy-second Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice, as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time on or after March 15, 2015, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the bonds of the Seventy-second Series to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date.

 

 

If, at the time notice of redemption is given, the redemption monies are not held by the 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.

 

 

(II) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Seventy-second 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 Seventy-second Series of other authorized denominations.

 

 

Bonds of the Seventy-second 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 Seventy-second 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.

The holders of the bonds of the Seventy-second Series shall be deemed to have consented and agreed that the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of the bonds of the Seventy-second Series entitled to consent to any amendment or supplement to the Mortgage or the waiver of any provision thereof or any act to be performed thereunder. If a record date is fixed, those persons who were holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

So long as any bonds of the Seventy-second Series shall remain Outstanding, subdivision (2) of Section 7(A) of the Mortgage is hereby amended by adding thereto the following words “provided, further, that the amount so included in such operating expenses in lieu of the amounts actually appropriated out of income for retirement of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property used primarily and principally in the electric, gas, steam and/or hot water utility business and the Company’s automotive equipment used in the operation of such property shall not be less than the amounts so actually appropriated out of income”.

 

 

SECTION 5.                      The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts herein declared, provided, created or supplemented and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein and in the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, set forth and upon the following terms and conditions:

 

 

The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made by the Company solely. In general, each and every term and condition contained in Article XVII of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, shall apply to and form part of this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture with the same force and effect as if the same were herein set forth in full with such omissions, variations and insertions, if any, as may be appropriate to make the same conform to the provisions of this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture.

SECTION 7.                      Nothing in this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture, expressed or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the bonds and coupons Outstanding under the Mortgage, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof, and all the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, and of the holders of the bonds and coupons Outstanding under the Mortgage.

 

 

SECTION 8.                      It is the intention and it is hereby agreed that, so far as concerns that portion of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property situated within the State of Louisiana, the general language of conveyance contained in this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture is intended and shall be construed as words of hypothecation and not of conveyance, and that, so far as the said Louisiana property is concerned, this Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture shall be considered as an act of mortgage and pledge under the laws of the State of Louisiana, and the Trustee herein named is named as mortgagee and pledgee in trust for the benefit of itself and of all present and future holders of bonds and coupons issued and to be issued under the Mortgage, and is irrevocably appointed special agent and representative of the holders of the bonds and coupons issued and to be issued under the Mortgage and vested with full power in their behalf to effect and enforce the mortgage and pledge hereby constituted for their benefit, or otherwise to act as herein provided for.

THE THIRTY-THIRD SERIES

 

Section 2.01. Bonds of the Thirty-third Series.  There shall be a series of bonds designated as the 6.20% Series due April 15, 2040 (herein sometimes referred to as the “Thirty-third Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond” as permitted by Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture. The form of bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall mature on April 15, 2040 and shall be issued only as fully registered bonds in denominations of Twenty-five Dollars and, at the option of the Company, in any multiple or multiples thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof). Bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall bear interest at the rate of six and twenty one-hundredths per centum (6.20%) per annum (except as hereinafter provided), payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year, and at maturity or earlier redemption, the first interest payment to be made on July 15, 2010, for the period from the date of original issuance of the bonds of the Thirty-third Series to July 15, 2010; the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each said bond to be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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 Thirty-third Series may, at the option of the Company, be paid by check mailed to the registered owners thereof. Overdue principal and overdue interest in respect of the bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall bear interest (before and after judgment) at the rate of seven and twenty one-hundredths per centum (7.20%) per annum (to the extent that payment of such interest on any overdue interest is not prohibited under applicable law). Interest on the bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the bonds of the Thirty-third Series in respect of a portion of a month shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed. In any case where any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity of any bond of the Thirty-third 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.

 

The Company reserves the right to establish at any time, by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a form of coupon bond, and of appurtenant coupons, for the bonds of the Thirty-third Series and to provide for exchangeability of such coupon bonds with the bonds of said Series issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate provisions for such purpose.

 

Section 2.02. Optional Redemption of Bonds of the Thirty-third Series. The bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company or otherwise prior to April 15, 2015.  On or after April 15, 2015, the bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice mailed to each registered owner at his last address appearing on the registry books not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such bonds of the Thirty-third Series to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

Section 2.03. Transfer and Exchange.

 

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

 

(b) Bonds of the Thirty-third 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, New York.

 

(c) Upon any such exchange or transfer of bonds of the Thirty-third 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 2.05 of the Original Indenture, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any such exchange or transfer of bonds of the Thirty-third Series.

 

Section 2.04. Dating of Bonds and Interest Payments.

 

(a) Each bond of the Thirty-third Series shall be dated as of the date of authentication and shall bear interest from the last preceding interest payment date to which interest shall have been paid (unless the date of such bond is an interest payment date to which interest is paid, in which case from the date of such bond); provided that each bond of the Thirty-third Series dated prior to July 15, 2010, shall bear interest from the date of original issuance; and provided, further, that if any bond of the Thirty-third Series shall be authenticated and delivered upon a transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, any other bond or bonds of the Thirty-third Series upon which interest is in default, it shall be dated so that such bond shall bear interest from the last preceding date to which interest shall have been paid on the bond or bonds in respect of which such bond shall have been delivered or from its date of original issuance, if no interest shall have been paid on the bonds of the Thirty-third Series.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, bonds of the Thirty-third Series shall be dated so that the Person in whose name any bond of the Thirty-third Series is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on the interest payment date, except if, and to the extent that, the Company shall have defaulted in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding bonds of the Thirty-third Series are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

 

 

ARTICLE III

COVENANTS

 

Section 3.01. Maintenance of Paying Agent.  So long as any bonds of the Thirty-third Series are Outstanding, the Company covenants that the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York where the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any bonds of such series shall be payable shall also be an office or agency where any such bonds may be transferred or exchanged and where notices, presentations or demands to or upon the Company in respect of such bonds or in respect of the Indenture may be given or made.
