purchase (the "Option") from the Company all or any part of an
aggregate of ____________________
shares (the "Shares") of the common stock, par value $.001 per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at a purchase price of
____________________
per Share (the "Exercise Price"), such Option to be exercisable as
hereinafter provided.

 

2.            

Type of Option. The Option is a
non-qualified stock option and is not eligible to be an incentive
stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

 

3.            

Expiration Date. The Option shall
expire on the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date (the
"Expiration Date"), unless earlier terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 7.

 

4.            

Nontransferability. No awards under the
2013 Plan, and no shares subject to awards that have not been
issued or as to which any applicable restriction, performance or
deferral period has not lapsed, are transferable other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, and an award may be
exercised during the participant's lifetime only by the participant
or the participant's estate, guardian or legal representative,
except that the Compensation Committee may provide in an award
agreement that a participant may transfer an award to certain
family members, family trusts, or other family-owned entities, or
for charitable donations under such terms and conditions determined
by the Compensation Committee.

 

 

 

 

5.            

Exercise of Option. (a) Subject to the
other terms of this Agreement and the Plan regarding the
exercisability of the Option, the Option may be exercised as to one
thirty-six (1/36) of the total grant commencing one month from
grant date and continuing as to an additional one thirty-six (1/36)
on the ____________________
day in each succeeding month until the option is 100%
exercisable.

 

(b)           

Once vested, the
Option may be exercised at any time (sale may be subject to
applicable Company quiet period or other restrictions as may be
imposed), or from time to time, to the extent of any or all full
Shares as to which the Option has become exercisable, by giving
written notice of such exercised (the "Notice of Exercise") to the
Company's Secretary and paying an amount equal to the Exercise
Price multiplied by the number of Shares being purchased pursuant
to the Option (the "Total Exercise Price") (i) in United States
dollars in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to
the order of the Company, (ii) shares tendered by the participant
or withheld by the Company in payment of the purchase price of an
option, (iii) by having Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value
on the date of exercise equal to the Total Exercise Price sold by a
broker-dealer under circumstances meeting the requirements of 12
C.F.R. § 220 or any successor thereof, or (iv) by any
combination of the above methods of payment.

 

6.            

Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any payment relating to
the Option (including from a distribution of Shares) or any other
payment to the Optionee, amounts of withholding and other taxes due
in connection with any transaction involving the Option, and to
take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to
enable the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate and the Optionee
to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and
other tax obligations relating to the Option. This authority shall
include authority to withhold or receive Shares or other property
and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of the
Optionee's tax obligations.

 

7.            

Termination of Employment, etc. (a)
Upon the occurrence of Grantee’s ceasing for any reason to be
employed by the Company (such occurrence being a “termination
of the Grantee’s employment”), the Option (i) to the
extent not previously vested, shall terminate and become null and
void immediately upon such termination of the Grantee’s
employment, and (ii) to the extent already vested, shall be
exercisable for a period of up to sixty (60) days following the
termination of Grantee’s employment. As determined by the
Administrator, upon a termination of the Grantee’s employment
by reason of disability or death, the Option may be exercised, but
only to the extent that the Option was outstanding and exercisable
on such date of disability or death, up to a one-year period
following the date of such termination of the Grantee’s
employment.

 

(b) In
the event of the death of the Grantee, the Option may be exercised
by the Grantee’s legal representative, but only to the extent
that the Option would otherwise have been exercisable by the
Grantee.

 

(c) A
transfer of the Grantee’s employment between the Company and
any subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be a
termination of the Grantee’s employment.

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

I.

EIGHTY-NINTH SERIES OF BONDS

SECTION 1.     There shall be a series of bonds designated “2.65% Series due June 15, 2051” (herein sometimes called the “Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth Series (which shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $675,000,000) shall mature on June 15, 2051, 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 2.65% per annum, the first interest payment to be made on December 15, 2020, for the period from September 11, 2020 to December 15, 2020 with subsequent interest payments payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 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 Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name such bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series are registered at the close of business on the record date for the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(I)     Form of Bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series.

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

[FORM OF FACE OF BOND OF THE Eighty-NINTH SERIES] 

[depository legend]

Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Company 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 owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

ENTERGY ARKANSAS, LLC
FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, 2.65% SERIES
DUE JUNE 15, 2051

ENTERGY ARKANSAS, LLC, a limited liability company of the State of Texas (hereinafter called the Company), for value received, hereby promises to pay to                 or registered assigns, on June 15, 2051 at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,

                                              DOLLARS

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 September 11, 2020, if the date of this bond is prior to December 15, 2020, or if the date of this bond is on or after December 15, 2020, from the June 15 or the December 15  next preceding the date of this bond to which interest has been paid on the bonds of this series (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 2.65% per annum in like coin or currency at said office or agency on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2020, 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 Eighty-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, 2.65% Series due June 15, 2051, 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 Eighty-third Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 2020, 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) (herein sometimes called the “Corporate Trustee”) 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. Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the 

holders of the bonds and of the Trustees in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustees and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are and are to be secured and the circumstances under which additional bonds may be issued. 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.

The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to the maturity date hereinbefore named on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a default as in the Mortgage provided.

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 Eighty-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.

Each initial and future holder of this bond, by its acquisition of an interest in this bond, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article II of the Eightieth Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Corporate Trustee, and its successors, 

as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and to 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 shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

This bond shall not become obligatory until the Corporate Trustee or its successor under the Mortgage shall have signed the form of authentication certificate endorsed hereon.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ENTERGY ARKANSAS, LLC has caused this bond to be signed in its company name by its President or one of its Vice Presidents by his/her signature or a facsimile thereof, and its company seal to be impressed or imprinted hereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, by his/her signature or a facsimile thereof, on _____, 20_.

By:    ____________________
Authorized Officer

(II)    The bonds of the Eighty-ninth 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 December 15, 2050 (the “Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series being redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of (x) the present value of the payment on the Par Call Date of the principal amount of the bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series being redeemed plus (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series being redeemed to the Par Call Date (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 20 basis points 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” or any successor publication 

which is published at least 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 Eighty-ninth Series being redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that such bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series mature on the Par Call Date), 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 Eighty-ninth Series being redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that such bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series mature on the Par Call Date) 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 Eighty-ninth Series being redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that such bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series mature on the Par Call Date).

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 any of (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by each of Regions Securities LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., Stephens Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, 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 (ii) 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 Eighty-ninth 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 the Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the bonds of the Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-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 Eighty-ninth Series for the aggregate principal amount of $675,000,000. Additional bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the Outstanding bonds of the Eighty-ninth 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 Eighty-ninth Series.

II
CONSENT TO AMENDMENTS OF THE MORTGAGE

SECTION 1.     Each initial and future holder of bonds of the Eighty-ninth Series, by its acquisition of an interest in such Bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Article II of the Eightieth Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Corporate 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.

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.
