ARTICLE ONE.

BONDS OF THE 5-1/8% SERIES DUE 2013 AND ISSUE THEREOF.

          SECTION 1.     There shall be a series of Bonds designated “5-1/8% Series Due 2013”, each of which shall bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond.  The New Bonds shall be issued by the Company under the First Mortgage as amended and this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture in the initial principal amount of $470,000,000.  Additional New Bonds, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the outstanding New Bonds (except a different issue date, issue price and bearing interest from the last interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the outstanding New Bonds, and, if no interest has been paid, from September 29, 2003), may also be issued by the Company pursuant to the First Mortgage as amended and this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture without the consent of the existing holders of the New
Bonds.  Such additional New Bonds shall be part of the same series as the outstanding New Bonds.

          The New Bonds shall be in registered form only and such New Bonds and the Trustee’s certificate to be endorsed on all the New Bonds shall respectively be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A, B and C hereto, as applicable.

          SECTION 2.     Upon the execution and delivery of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture and upon delivery of the New Bonds, executed by the Company, and upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Article Five, Article Six or Article Seven or any or all of said Articles, as the case may be, of the First Mortgage as amended, the Trustee shall, without awaiting the filing or recording of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, authenticate the New Bonds and deliver the New Bonds as provided in said Article Five, Article Six or Article Seven.

          SECTION 3.     The New Bonds shall be dated as provided in Section 3 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended; shall mature October 1, 2013; and shall bear interest from September 29, 2003 as provided in said Section 3 of Article Two at the rate of Five and One-

11

Eighth per centum (5-1/8%) per annum until paid or redeemed as hereinafter provided, payable on April 1, 2004 and thereafter semi-annually on each April 1 and October 1, and on the maturity date, to the Bondholders in whose names such New Bonds are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such April 1 or October 1, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any New Bonds, such interest in default shall be paid to the Bondholders in whose names the New Bonds are registered at the close of business on a date established for the payment of such defaulted interest by the Company in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the New Bonds may be listed.  If the Company does not comply with certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), the Private Bonds shall, in accordance with Section 2(e)
of the Registration Rights Agreement, bear additional interest (“Additional Interest”) in addition to the interest provided for in the immediately preceding sentence.  For purposes of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture and the New Bonds, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include interest provided for in the second immediately preceding sentence and Additional Interest, if any. The New Bonds shall be payable as to both principal, premium, if any, and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.  The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed.  In the event that any date on which principal or
interest is payable on the New Bonds is not a Business Day (as defined below), the payment of the principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in The City of New York are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.

          SECTION 4.     The New Bonds shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.

          Subject to the provisions of any legend set forth thereon, whenever any New Bond or New Bonds shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in said Borough of Manhattan for exchange for a New Bond or New Bonds of other authorized denomination or denominations, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon cancellation of the New Bond or New Bonds so surrendered, a New Bond or New Bonds of such other authorized denomination or denominations of like aggregate principal amount as the Bondholder making the exchange shall have requested and shall be entitled to receive.  On presentation of any New Bond which is to be redeemed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of this Article One in part only, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a New Bond or New Bonds in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the New
Bond so presented.

          The Company shall not be required to (a) register a transfer of, or exchange, any New Bond during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of New Bonds to be

redeemed or (b) register a transfer of, or exchange, any New Bond which shall have been selected for redemption in whole or in part.

          A service charge will not be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of New Bonds, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

          Until definitive New Bonds shall be ready for delivery, the Company may execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive New Bonds but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions except as to the denominations thereof, temporary printed or lithographed New Bonds as provided in Section 8 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended.  Such temporary New Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive New Bonds, when ready for delivery, in the manner provided in the First Mortgage as amended, and shall in all other respects be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage as amended as therein provided.

          SECTION 5.     New Bonds may be redeemed, prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, in the manner provided in Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended (except as provided below), as a whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the New Bonds being redeemed or (ii) as determined by a Quotation Agent as of the date of redemption, the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of principal and interest on such New Bonds from the date of redemption to the maturity date of the New Bonds (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to such date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each
case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

          As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the respective meanings unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

          “Treasury Rate” means (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately prior week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve 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 time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity date (if no maturity is within three months before or after such time period, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such time period shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if
such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date 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 date of redemption.  The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date of redemption.

13

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity 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 time period.  If no United States Treasury security has a maturity which is within a period from three months before to three months after the applicable maturity date, the two most closely corresponding United States Treasury securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated and extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month using such securities.

          “Quotation Agent” means Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors as selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary United States Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) up to three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of up to five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date of redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such date of redemption.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, any notice of redemption given with respect to the New Bonds (i) may provide that 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 receipt of such monies before the date fixed for redemption, and such notice shall be of no effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such New Bonds unless such monies are so received, and (ii) will be deemed to be sufficiently given if mailed by or on behalf of the Company at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date of redemption to each registered holder of such New Bond or New Bonds to be redeemed at his or her last address appearing upon the registry books of the paying agent.  Failure duly to mail such notice to the owner or holder of any New Bond designated for
redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other New Bond.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any New 

14

Bond may, if the Company so agrees with the registered holder thereof (or the person for whom such registered holder is a nominee if such person has filed with the Trustee a certificate to the effect that such registered holder is such person’s nominee), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee if there shall have been filed with the Trustee a written undertaking of such registered holder, for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Company, that such registered holder (a) will promptly and prior to any transfer make notations on such New Bond of the portions thereof so redeemed and the date to which interest has been paid thereon; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect, at any reasonable time, such notations (and, in default of such notations having been made, to make such notations); and (c) will not dispose of such
New Bond or any interest thereon unless, prior to the delivery thereof, such New Bond either shall have been presented to the Trustee for appropriate notation (or confirmation of notation) thereon of the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been redeemed and the date to which interest has been paid thereon or shall have been surrendered to the Trustee in exchange for a New Bond or New Bonds aggregating the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such New Bond.  The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made.  The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to any Bondholder or to the Company or to any person for any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any Bondholder in connection with the foregoing.  The Company will indemnify and save the Trustee harmless against any liabilities resulting from any such act or omission or any action of the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph.

          Except as in this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the New Bonds at any time outstanding.

          Except as set forth in this Section 5 of Article One of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, the New Bonds are not redeemable by the Company.

          SECTION 6.      The Company has entered into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of September 29, 2003 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the initial purchasers of the New Bonds pursuant to which, among other things, the New Bonds that are issued without registration (the “Private Bonds”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be exchanged for New Bonds that will be registered under the Securities Act and that will otherwise have substantially the same terms as the Private Bonds (the “Exchange Bonds”) or, failing such exchange, the Company will file a shelf registration for the resale of the Private Bonds.  The Private Bonds will be offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the Securities Act, and Private Bonds will be exchanged for
Exchange Bonds only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and otherwise in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement and the First Mortgage as amended.  Except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, nothing in the First Mortgage as amended or the New Bonds shall be construed to require the Company to register any New Bonds under the Securities Act, or to make any transfer of such New Bonds in violation of applicable law.  The Private Bonds and the Exchange Bonds will constitute a single series of Bonds under the First Mortgage as amended.

15

          SECTION 7.     (a)     Private Bonds offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global New Bonds, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “144A Global Security”), deposited with The Depository Trust Company (the “Clearing Agency”) or the Trustee as custodian for the Clearing Agency. Transfers of beneficial interests in the 144A Global Security will be subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the non-registration legend set forth in Exhibit A.  Transfers of beneficial interests in the 144A Global Security will be made in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures of the Clearing Agency.

          (b)     Private Bonds offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global New Bonds, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Regulation S Global Security”), but without the non-registration legend set forth therein, deposited with the Clearing Agency or the Trustee as custodian for the Clearing Agency.  Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Security will be subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the Regulation S legend set forth in Exhibit A.  After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Security will not be subject to any restrictions.  Transfers of beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Global Security will be made in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures of the Clearing Agency. 

          For purposes of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, (i) “Clearing Agency Participant” means a broker, dealer, bank, other financial institution or other person for whom from time to time a Clearing Agency effects book-entry transfers and pledges of securities deposited with the Clearing Agency, (ii) “Distribution Compliance Period” means the period of 40 consecutive days beginning on and including the later of (x) the day on which the offering of the New Bonds commences or (y) the original issue date of the New Bonds, and (iii) “Global Securities Certificate” or “Global Security” means any Private Bond in the form of a 144A Global Security, a Regulation S Global Security and, if applicable, any Exchange Bond represented in global form and deposited with the Clearing Agency or the Trustee as custodian for the Clearing Agency.

          (c)     Private Bonds offered and sold to Institutional Accredited Investors shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Definitive New Bond Certificates, substantially in the form of Exhibit B.  Transfers of Definitive New Bond Certificates will be subject to the non-registration legend and the requirements contained in Section 8(d)(1) or (d)(2) of this Article One.  For purposes of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, (i) “Definitive New Bond Certificates” means New Bonds issued in definitive, fully registered form and (ii) “Institutional Accredited Investor” means an institutional investor that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act.

          (d)     Exchange Bonds shall be issued in global form, substantially in the form, and bearing the legends, set forth in Exhibit C, deposited with the Clearing Agency or the Trustee as custodian for the Clearing Agency.

          SECTION 8.     (a)     So long as the Private Bonds are eligible for book-entry settlement in the Clearing Agency or unless otherwise required by law, all Private Bonds that are so eligible 

16

will be represented by one or more Global Securities Certificates deposited with the Clearing Agency or the Trustee as custodian for the Clearing Agency.  No owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Securities Certificate will receive a Definitive New Bond Certificate representing such owner’s beneficial interest in the Private Bonds, except as provided in Section 8(f) of this Article One; provided, however, that the Company shall issue a Definitive New Bond Certificate upon any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security to the Company or an “affiliate” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (an “Affiliate”) of the Company and no Definitive New Bond Certificate, or portion thereof, in respect of which the Company or an Affiliate of the Company held any beneficial interest shall be resold, retransferred or included in any Global Security until such Private Bond is freely tradeable in accordance with Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act or exchanged for an Exchange Bond.

          (b)     Global Securities shall initially be registered in the name of a nominee of the Clearing Agency.

          (c)     Transfers of interests in Private Bonds between any 144A Global Security and any Regulation S Global Security will be made in accordance with this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture (including Section 8(d)(3) and (4) of this Article One, as applicable) and in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures of the Clearing Agency.  The Trustee shall make appropriate endorsements to reflect increases or decreases in the amount of such Global Securities.

          (d)     Unless and until the earlier of (i) the date upon which Private Bonds are exchanged for Exchange Bonds in connection with an effective registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) the Transfer Restriction Termination Date (meaning the first day in which the New Bonds (other than New Bonds acquired by the Company or any Affiliate thereof) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act):

                    (1)     Definitive to Definitive Transfers.  Any transfer of a Definitive New Bond Certificate shall be registered on the registry books only upon receipt by the Trustee of such Definitive New Bond Certificate accompanied by a duly completed and executed assignment in the form attached to Exhibit B and, in the case of a transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certificate in the form of Exhibit D (or other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company may reasonably request to confirm that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act);

                    (2)     Definitive into Global Security.  So long as Private Bonds are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Clearing Agency or unless otherwise required by law, upon any transfer of a Definitive New Bond Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or to a non-U.S. Person in accordance with Regulation S, and upon receipt of the Definitive New Bond Certificate being so transferred accompanied by a duly completed and executed assignment in the form attached to Exhibit B, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on any 144A Global Security or any Regulation S Global Security, as the case may be, to reflect an increase in such Global Security and the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive New Bond Certificate;

17

                    (3)     144A Global Security into Regulation S Global Security.  Any transfer in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S of a beneficial interest in a 144A Global Security shall be reflected by an increase in the Regulation S Global Security and a corresponding decrease in the 144A Global Security, in each case by the Trustee making an endorsement on such Global Security, only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certificate in the form of Exhibit E (or such other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to such Rule 903 or Rule 904); and

                    (4)     Regulation S Global Security into 144A Global Security.  Any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Security shall be reflected by an increase in the 144A Global Security and a corresponding decrease in the Regulation S Global Security, in each case by the Trustee making an endorsement on such Global Security and, prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certificate in the form of Exhibit F (or such other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company may reasonably require).

          (e)     Any Global Security may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture and the First Mortgage as amended as may be required by the Clearing Agency, by any national securities exchange or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or as may be required for the Private Bonds to be tradeable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the New Bonds may be listed or traded or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular New Bonds are subject.

          (f)     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 8(f)), a Global Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for Definitive New Bond Certificates, and no transfer of a Global Security may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Clearing Agency (A) has notified the Trustee and the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for such Global Security or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and no successor Clearing Agency has been appointed by the Company within 90 days after its receipt of such notice or its becoming aware of such cessation of registration, (ii) there has occurred and
is continuing an Event of Default, or any event that after notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default under the First Mortgage as amended, with respect to the New Bonds or (iii) the Company in its discretion instructs the Trustee to exchange such Global Security for Definitive New Bond Certificates (in which case such exchange shall be effected by the Trustee).

          (g)     Unless and until Definitive New Bond Certificates have been issued to owners pursuant to Section 10 of this Article One, the following provisions of this Section 8(g) shall be in full force and effect:

18

	
  
 
  	
  
(i)
  	
  
the security   registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency   for all purposes of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture relating to the   Global Securities (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and   interest on the New Bonds evidenced by Global Securities Certificates and the   giving of instructions or directions to owners of New Bonds evidenced by   Global Securities) as the sole holder of New Bonds evidenced by Global   Securities and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof;   and
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(ii)
  	
  
the rights   of the beneficial owners of the Global Securities shall be exercised only   through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law   and agreements between such beneficial owners and the Clearing Agency and/or   the Clearing Agency Participants.    Unless and until Definitive New Bond Certificates are issued pursuant   to Section 8(f) of this Article One or Section 10 of this Article One,   the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing   Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on the New Bonds to   such Clearing Agency Participants.
  

          (h)     The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the Exchange Bonds or the Private Bonds under the Securities Act.  Upon the receipt of a request in writing from the Company, the Trustee will take such actions as shall be necessary to effectuate the exchange of any of the Private Bonds for Exchange Bonds, including but not limited to the issuance of Exchange Bonds in the form substantially set forth in Exhibit C, the entry of decreases in the Regulation S Global Security and the 144A Global Security or, if applicable, the cancellation of Definitive New Bond Certificates.

          SECTION 9.      To the extent that a notice or other communication to the owners is required under this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, unless and until Definitive New Bond Certificates shall have been issued to owners pursuant to Section 10 of this Article One, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to beneficial owners to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners.

          SECTION 10.     Upon surrender to the security registrar of the Global Securities Certificates by the Clearing Agency upon occurrence of any of the events described in Section 8(f) of this Article One, accompanied by registration instructions, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver and the security registrar shall register the Definitive New Bond Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Neither the security registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive New Bond Certificates, the Trustee shall recognize the holders of the Definitive New Bond Certificates as Bondholders.

          SECTION 11.     Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the other Global Security will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in the other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all restrictions, if any, and 

19

procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest.  

          The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, the New Bonds or applicable law with respect to any transfer or any interest in any New Bond (including any transfers between or among the Clearing Agency Participants or owners or holders of beneficial interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence, if any, as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

          None of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or the security registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in any Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

          No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by the Clearing Agency (or its nominee) shall have any rights under this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture with respect to such Global Security or any New Bond represented thereby, and the Clearing Agency may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security or any New Bond represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Clearing Agency, as a holder, with respect to such Global Security or shall impair, as between the Clearing Agency and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Clearing Agency (or its nominee) as holder of such Global Security.

          (i)     all   Bonds outstanding hereunder at the date of such certificate, except any for   the payment of which the Bonds applied for are to be issued; provided that,   if any such series of outstanding Bonds bears interest at a variable rate,   then the interest on such series of Bonds shall be computed at the average   annual rate in effect for such series during the period of twelve (12)   consecutive calendar months (or any portion thereof in which Bonds of such   series are outstanding) being used for the calculation of adjusted net earnings;   and if such outstanding Bonds have been issued after the end of such twelve   (12) consecutive calendar months, then computed at the initial rate upon   issuance;
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
          (ii)     all   Bonds then applied for in pending applications, including the application in   connection with which such certificate is made, computed at the initial rate   upon issuance;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
          (iii)     the   principal amount of all other indebtedness (except indebtedness for the   payment of which the Bonds applied for are to be issued and indebtedness for   the purchase, payment or redemption of which moneys in the necessary amount   shall have been deposited with or be held by the Trustee or the trustee or   other holder of a lien prior to the lien of this Indenture upon property   subject to the lien of this Indenture with irrevocable direction so to apply   the same; provided that, in the case of redemption, the notice required   therefor shall have been given or have been provided for to the satisfaction   of the Trustee), outstanding in the hands of the public on the date of such   certificate and secured by a lien prior to the lien of this Indenture upon   property subject to the lien of this Indenture, if said indebtedness has been   assumed by the Company or
if the Company customarily pays the interest upon   the principal thereof.
  

          In calculating such adjusted net earnings, all the Company’s expenses for taxes (other than income, profits and other taxes measured by, or dependent on, net income), assessments,

22

rentals and insurance shall be included in its operating expenses, or otherwise deducted from its revenues and income; provided, however, that no expenses or provisions for interest on any of its indebtedness or for the amortization of debt discount, premium and expense, or loss on reacquired debt, amortization of property (other than depreciation or other similar provisions for property retirement), or for other amortization, or for any other extraordinary charge to income of whatever kind or nature, or for refunds of revenues previously collected by the Company subject to possible refund, or for any improvement or sinking fund or other device for the retirement of any indebtedness, shall be required to be included in
operating expenses to be deducted from, or shall be otherwise required to be deducted from, its revenues or its other income and no extraordinary items of any kind or nature shall be included in calculating such adjusted net earnings.

          If any of the property of the Company owned by it at the time of the making of any net earnings certificate shall have been acquired during or after any period for which adjusted net earnings of the Company are to be computed, the adjusted net earnings of such property (computed in the manner in this Section provided for the computation of the adjusted net earnings of the Company) during such period or such part of such period as shall have preceded the acquisition thereof, to the extent that the same have not otherwise been included and unless such property shall have been acquired in exchange or substitution for property the earnings of which have been included, may, at the option of the Company, be included in the adjusted net earnings of the Company for all purposes of this Indenture, and shall be included if such property has been operated as a separate unit or if the earnings therefrom are readily
ascertainable.

          In any case where a net earnings certificate is required as a condition precedent to the authentication and delivery of Bonds, such certificate shall also be made and signed by an independent public accountant, if the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then applied for plus the aggregate principal amount of Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder since the commencement of the then current calendar year (other than those with respect to which a net earnings certificate is not required, or with respect to which a net earnings certificate made and signed by an independent public accountant has previously been furnished to the Trustee) is ten per centum (10%) or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding hereunder; but no net earnings certificate need be made and signed by any person other than the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer or President or a Vice
President and an accountant, as to dates or periods not covered by annual reports required to be filed by the Company, in the case of conditions precedent which depend upon a state of facts as of a date or dates or for a period or periods different from that required to be covered by such annual reports.

          Each such certificate shall include the statements required by Section 1 of Article Twenty hereof.

          The phrase “appropriations out of income for property retirement”, and other phrases, of similar import shall be deemed to include not only charges made upon a retirement accounting theory but also charges made on any depreciation or other accounting theory intended to provide for retirement of property.

          Unless otherwise specifically provided with respect to a series of Bonds, if interest on any Bonds outstanding hereunder is payable solely in the coin or currency of a foreign nation, 

23

then the annual interest requirements for such Bonds shall be based upon the estimated value (on a date within 10 days prior to the date of the application for the authentication and delivery under this Indenture of Bonds in connection with which such net earnings certificate is delivered) of such foreign coin or currency in The City of New York, New York, in the written opinion of an independent appraiser or other expert delivered to the Trustee.”

          SECTION 5.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 5 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “No Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered upon the basis of property additions unless, as shown by a net earnings certificate, the adjusted net earnings of the Company for the twelve consecutive calendar months’ period therein referred to shall have been in the aggregate at least equivalent to twice the annual interest requirements as shall be specified, pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (B) of Section 7 of Article One hereof, in such net earnings certificate.”

          SECTION 6.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Article Six of the First Mortgage as amended shall be amended by deleting a parenthetical appearing after the phrase “sinking fund provisions of any indenture supplemental hereto” and before the phrase “, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver additional Bonds.”

          SECTION 7.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 2 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as amended shall be amended to delete the second paragraph of such Section 2.

          (a)     Section 2 of Article Ten shall be amended by deleting the second, third and fourth sentences thereof and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

          “Notice of redemption shall be mailed to each holder of the Bonds to be redeemed, at the address of such holder as it appears in the registry books, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date of redemption.  Failure duly to mail such notice to the owner or holder of any Bond designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Bond.

          With respect to any notice of redemption of the Bonds at the election of the Company such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the paying agent or agents for such Bonds, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Bonds and that if such money shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Bonds.  In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made, and the paying agent or agents for the Bonds
otherwise to have 

24

been redeemed shall promptly return to the holders thereof any of such Bonds which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption.

          Notice of redemption of the Bonds to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.  Notice of any mandatory redemption of the Bonds shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.”

          (b)     The first paragraph of Section 3 of Article Ten shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Bonds or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the date of redemption, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any) such Bonds or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender of any such Bond for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Bond or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so specified with respect to such Bond in a
supplemental indenture establishing the terms of such Bond.”  

          (c)     Clause (b) of the second paragraph of Section 3 of Article Ten shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “(b)     furnish to the Trustee a Treasurer’s Certificate stating that notice of redemption of such Bonds on a specified date has been given as heretofore provided, or that arrangements have been made insuring to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the notice will be given or, in lieu of such arrangements, shall deliver to the Trustee a written instrument executed by the Company and expressed to be irrevocable, authorizing the Trustee to cause the mailing of such notice for and on behalf of the Company, and”

          (d)     Clause (c) of Section 3 of Article Ten shall be amended by deleting the word “publications” in the fourth line thereof and inserting the phrase “mailing of notice of redemption.” 

          (e)     Section 5 of Article Ten shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

          “SECTION 5.     Except as may be otherwise provided in any indenture supplemental hereto, at any time, upon the written request of the Company, expressed by a Treasurer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall, to the extent that such Bonds are available for such purchase, apply all or any part of the cash held by it under any provision of this Indenture (except moneys deposited for the payment or redemption of a particular series of Bonds) to the purchase of Bonds then outstanding hereunder of such series as the Company may designate.  Before making any such purchase the Trustee may, and upon request of the Company shall, by notice published once in one daily newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of 

25

New York, customarily published on each Business Day, whether or not published on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, advertise for written proposals (to be received by it on or before a specified date) to sell to it on or before a subsequent specified date Bonds of the series designated by the Company then outstanding hereunder, and the Trustee, to the extent, as nearly as is possible, of such funds then in its hands and requested by the Company to be so applied, shall purchase the Bonds so offered at the price or prices most favorable to the Company, and reasonable notice shall be mailed by the Trustee to the holder or holders of the Bonds whose proposals shall have been accepted.  The Trustee shall, upon request of the Company, invite offers of Bonds for sale to it in any other usual manner.  The Trustee, upon request of the Company, shall reject any or all proposals in whole or in part if on the same day after opening said proposals the Company has
notified the Trustee that the Trustee can purchase the requisite amount of such Bonds or any part thereof at a price more favorable to the Company than it could by accepting said proposals. All offers by holders shall be subject to acceptance of a proposal thereof unless otherwise expressed in the offers and all advertisements for written proposals shall so state.”

          SECTION 9.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 3 of Article Fifteen of the First Mortgage as amended shall be restated its entirety to read as follows:

          “SECTION 3.     Unless, in the case of a consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer contemplated by Section 1 of this Article Fifteen, the indenture or instrument of assumption that may be executed by the successor corporation as in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article Fifteen provided, or in Article Eighteen expressly provided otherwise, neither this Indenture nor such indenture or instrument of assumption shall become or be, or be required to become or be, a lien upon any of the properties:

          (a)     owned by the successor corporation or any other party to such transaction (other than the Company) immediately prior to the time of effectiveness of such transaction or

          (b)     acquired by the successor corporation at or after the time of effectiveness of such transaction, 

except, in either case, properties acquired from the Company in or as a result of such transaction and improvements, extensions and additions to such properties and renewals, replacements and substitutions of or for any part or parts thereof.”

          SECTION 10.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 2 of Article Sixteen of the First Mortgage as amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “SECTION 2.     (a)     No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 4 of this Article Sixteen.

          (b)     The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company.  If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 4 of this Article Sixteen shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of 

26

such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (c)     The Trustee may be removed at any time by an instrument in writing filed with the Trustee and signed by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, and a copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Company.

          (d)     If at any time:

	
  
 
  	
  
(1)
  	
  
the Trustee   shall fail to comply with Section 7 of this Article Sixteen after written   request therefor by the Company or by any holder who has been a bona fide   holder for at least six months, or
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
   
  	
  
(2)
  	
  
the Trustee   shall cease to be eligible under Section 5 of this Article Sixteen or Section   310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request   therefor by the Company or by any such holder, or
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(3)
  	
  
the Trustee   shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent   or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any   public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property   or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
  

then, in any such case, (x) the Company by a resolution of its Board of Directors may remove the Trustee with respect to all Bonds or (y), any holder who has been a bona fide holder for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Bonds and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

          If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 4 of this Article Sixteen shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (e)     If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause (other than as contemplated by clause (y) in subsection (d) or this Section), the Company, by resolution of its Board of Directors, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 4 of this Article Sixteen.  If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by an instrument in writing filed with the retiring Trustee and signed by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, and a copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Company, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance
with the applicable requirements of Section 4 of this Article Sixteen, become the successor Trustee and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.  If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 4 of this 

27

Article Sixteen, any holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Bond for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (f)     So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, a completed default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) resolutions of its Board of Directors appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 4 of this Article Sixteen, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Company pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such appointment
shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 4 of this Article Sixteen, all as of such date, and all other provisions of this Section and Section 4 of this Article Sixteen shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this subsection (f).

          (g)     The Company shall mail notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all holders of Bonds at the address of such holder as it appears in the registry books.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its corporate trust office.”

          SECTION 11.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 3 of Article Sixteen of the First Mortgage as amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “SECTION 3.     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.  In case any Bonds shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Bonds.”

          SECTION 12.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 4 of Article Sixteen of the First Mortgage as amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “SECTION 4.     (a)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties

28

of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of all sums owed to it, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien to secure the amounts due to such retiring Trustee provided for in Section 1 of this Article Sixteen.

          (b)     Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in subsection (a) of this Section.

          (c)     No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.”

          SECTION 13.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 2 of Article Eighteen of the First Mortgage as amended shall be amended to (i) replace the phrase “at least seventy-five per centum (75%)” with the phrase “a majority” in all places where such phrase appears therein, (ii) delete the first sentence of the second paragraph thereof and replace it with the sentence reading as follows:

          “If at any time the Company shall request the Trustee to enter into any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Company shall cause notice of the proposed execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to the registered owners of any Bonds entitled to approve or consent thereto at their addresses appearing on the bond registry books.”;

          and (iii) delete the words “first publication” from the second line of the third paragraph thereof and replace it with the words “the mailing”.

          SECTION 14.     Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Two, Section 3 of Article Twenty-One of the First Mortgage as amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          “SECTION 3.     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Bond and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall to the extent permitted by law be paid to the Company upon a written request of the Company, or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust; and, upon such payment or discharge, the holder of such Bond shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as the holder of an outstanding Bond, look only to the Company for payment of the amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid unless the applicable law provides otherwise, and all liability of the Trustee or such paying agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such payment to the Company, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed, on one occasion only, notice to such holder that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a 

29

date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company.”

          SECTION 15.     Any supplemental indentures may contain such other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate to carry into effect the purposes of the amendments provided for by this Article Two or as may be otherwise appropriate and permissible under the provisions of Article Eighteen of the First Mortgage as amended to accomplish the purposes of said amendments.  To the extent permitted by Article Eighteen of the First Mortgage as amended, any supplemental indenture may terminate or modify specified obligations of the Company to the holders of the Bonds of a particular series and such amendment will only require the consent by holders of seventy-five per centum (75%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding of said series.  Said amendments may effect the purposes herein contemplated either by adding provisions to, or eliminating provisions from, the
First Mortgage as amended, or by both adding and eliminating provisions, or may accomplish said purposes in any other appropriate manner.

          No further consent of the holders of New Bonds shall be required to effect any of the amendments provided for in, or permitted by, this Article Two.

THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
 (INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO)

FIRST MORTGAGE BOND,
 5-1/8% SERIES DUE 2013

THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY, a corporation of the State of Ohio (hereinafter called the Company), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, on October 1, 2013, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the principal sum listed on Schedule I attached hereto in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay to the registered owner hereof interest thereon from the interest payment date to which interest has been paid last preceding the date hereof (unless the date hereof is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case from the date hereof, or unless the date hereof is prior to April 1, 2004, in which case from September 29, 2003), at the rate of Five and One-Eighth per centum (5-1/8%) per annum in like coin or currency, payable at said office
or agency semiannually on April 1 and October 1 in each year, commencing April 1, 2004, and at maturity, until the Company’s obligation with respect to the payment of such principal shall have been discharged, such interest to be paid to the person who shall have been the registered owner hereof at the close of business on the Business Day (as defined in the Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture referred to below) immediately preceding such April 1 or October 1, as the case may be (subject to certain exceptions provided in the Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture referred to herein).  If the Company does not comply with certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, this Bond shall, in accordance with Section 2(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement, bear additional interest (“Additional Interest”) in addition to the interest provided for in the immediately preceding sentence.  For purposes of this Bond, the term “interest” shall be deemed to
include interest provided for in the second immediately preceding sentence and Additional Interest, if any.  The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed.  In the event that any date on which principal or interest is payable on this Bond is not a Business Day, the payment of the principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

A-3

This Bond is one of an issue of First Mortgage Bonds of the Company issued and to be issued in series under and pursuant to and equally secured by an indenture of mortgage and deed of trust dated as of October 1, 1935, executed by the Company to Irving Trust Company, as Trustee (now The Bank of New York), as said indenture has been amended and supplemented as hereinafter stated, and is one of a series of said First Mortgage Bonds, which series is designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, 5-1/8% Series Due 2013, of the Company (hereinafter called the Bonds of Series Due 2013) created and described in a Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 2003, executed by the Company to The Bank of New York, as Trustee.  Subsequent to the execution and delivery of said indenture of mortgage and deed of trust there have been executed and delivered forty-two indentures supplemental thereto, including said Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of
September 1, 2003, supplementing and amending as therein set forth certain provisions thereof.  Said indenture of mortgage and deed of trust and such supplemental indentures collectively are hereinafter sometimes called the “Indenture”.

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 Trustee therein and thereto, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are issued and secured, reference is hereby made to the Indenture.  The rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders and registered owners of the Bonds of this issue may be modified or amended at the request of the Company by an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture, executed pursuant to the consent in writing of the holders or registered owners of at least 75% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected by such modification or amendment, all in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, any consent by the holder or registered owner of any Bond being conclusive and binding upon such holder or registered owner and upon all future
holders and owners of such Bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such Bond; provided that no such modification or amendment by such supplemental indenture shall extend the maturity of, or reduce the rate of interest on, or otherwise modify the terms of payment of the principal or interest of, this Bond, which obligations are absolute and unconditional, nor permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to such Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, the holders of the Bonds, by their acceptance and holding hereof, consent and agree to change “at least 75%” in the foregoing sentence to “a majority”.

Bonds of Series Due 2013 may be redeemed, prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, as a whole at any time, or in part from time to time, upon notice mailed to each registered holder of this Bond at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the date of redemption, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series Due 2013 being redeemed or (ii) as determined by a Quotation Agent as of the date of redemption, the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Bonds of Series Due 2013 from the date of redemption to the maturity date of the Bonds of Series Due 2013 (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to such date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case,
accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

A-4

          As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the respective meanings unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

          “Treasury Rate” means (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately prior week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve 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 time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity date (if no maturity is within three months before or after such time period, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such time period shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if
such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date 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 date of redemption.  The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date of redemption.

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity 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 time period.  If no United States Treasury security has a maturity which is within a period from three months before to three months after the applicable maturity date, the two most closely corresponding United States Treasury securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated and extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month using such securities.

          “Quotation Agent” means Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors as selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary United States Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) up to three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of up to five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date of redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

A-5

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such date of redemption.

The principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of a completed default as in the Indenture provided.

Subject to the provisions of any legend set forth hereon, this Bond may be exchanged for a like principal amount of other Bonds or transferred as prescribed in the Indenture 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, and thereupon a new registered Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2013 without coupons for a like principal amount and of authorized denominations will be issued in exchange therefor as provided in the Indenture.  The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.

A service charge will not be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds of Series Due 2013, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Bonds of Series Due 2013 are issuable as registered Bonds without coupons in the denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Bond, or under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the First Mortgage, against any incorporator, or any past, present, or future subscriber to capital stock, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any present or future rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, shareholders, officers and directors being released by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.

This Bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.

A-6

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Dayton Power and Light Company has caused this Bond to be executed in its name by the facsimile signature of its President or a Group Vice President and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed or a facsimile thereof reproduced hereon and attested by the facsimile signature of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
 (INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO)

FIRST MORTGAGE BOND,
 5-1/8% SERIES DUE 2013

THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY, a corporation of the State of Ohio (hereinafter called the Company), for value received, hereby promises to pay to __________ or registered assigns, on October 1, 2013, 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 the payment of public and private debts, and to pay to the registered owner hereof interest thereon from the interest payment date to which interest has been paid last preceding the date hereof (unless the date hereof is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case from the date hereof, or unless the date hereof is prior to April 1, 2004, in which case from September 29, 2003), at the rate of Five and One-Eighth per centum (5-1/8%) per annum in like coin or currency, payable at said office or agency semiannually on
April 1 and October 1 in each year, commencing April 1, 2004, and at maturity, until the Company’s obligation with respect to the payment of such principal shall have been discharged, such interest to be paid to the person who shall have been the registered owner hereof at the close of business on the Business Day (as defined in the Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture referred to below) immediately preceding such April 1 or October 1, as the case may be (subject to certain exceptions provided in the Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture referred to herein).  If the Company does not comply with certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, this Bond shall, in accordance with Section 2(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement, bear additional interest (“Additional Interest”) in addition to the interest provided for in the immediately preceding sentence.  For purposes of this Bond, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include interest provided for
in the second immediately preceding sentence and Additional Interest, if any.  The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed.  In the event that any date on which principal or interest is payable on this Bond is not a Business Day, the payment of the principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

This Bond is one of an issue of First Mortgage Bonds of the Company issued and to be issued in series under and pursuant to and equally secured by an indenture of mortgage and deed of trust dated as of October 1, 1935, executed by the Company to Irving Trust Company, as Trustee (now The Bank of New York), as said indenture has been amended and supplemented as hereinafter stated, and is one of a series of said First Mortgage Bonds, which series is designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, 5-1/8% Series Due 2013 of the Company (hereinafter called the 

B-3

Bonds of Series Due 2013) created and described in a Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 2003, executed by the Company to The Bank of New York, as Trustee.  Subsequent to the execution and delivery of said indenture of mortgage and deed of trust there have been executed and delivered forty-two indentures supplemental thereto, including said Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 2003, supplementing and amending as therein set forth certain provisions thereof.  Said indenture of mortgage and deed of trust and such supplemental indentures collectively are hereinafter sometimes called the “Indenture”.

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 Trustee therein and thereto, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are issued and secured, reference is hereby made to the Indenture.  The rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders and registered owners of the Bonds of this issue may be modified or amended at the request of the Company by an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture, executed pursuant to the consent in writing of the holders or registered owners of at least 75% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected by such modification or amendment, all in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, any consent by the holder or registered owner of any Bond being conclusive and binding upon such holder or registered owner and upon all future
holders and owners of such Bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such Bond; provided that no such modification or amendment by such supplemental indenture shall extend the maturity of, or reduce the rate of interest on, or otherwise modify the terms of payment of the principal or interest of, this Bond, which obligations are absolute and unconditional, nor permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to such Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, the holders of the Bonds, by their acceptance and holding hereof, consent and agree to change “at least 75%” in the foregoing sentence to “a majority”.

Bonds of Series Due 2013 may be redeemed, prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, as a whole at any time, or in part from time to time, upon notice mailed to each registered holder of this Bond at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the date of redemption, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series Due 2013 being redeemed or (ii) as determined by a Quotation Agent as of the date of redemption, the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Bonds of Series Due 2013 from the date of redemption to the maturity date of the Bonds of Series Due 2013 (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to such date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case,
accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

          As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the respective meanings unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

          “Treasury Rate” means (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately prior week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal 

B-4

Reserve 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 time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity date (if no maturity is within three months before or after such time period, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such time period shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date 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 date of redemption.  The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date of redemption.

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity 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 time period.  If no United States Treasury security has a maturity which is within a period from three months before to three months after the applicable maturity date, the two most closely corresponding United States Treasury securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated and extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month using such securities.

          “Quotation Agent” means Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors as selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary United States Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) up to three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of up to five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date of redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such date of redemption.

B-5

The principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of a completed default as in the Indenture provided.

Subject to the provisions of any legend set forth hereon, this Bond may be exchanged for a like principal amount of other Bonds or transferred as prescribed in the Indenture 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, and thereupon a new registered Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2013 without coupons for a like principal amount and of authorized denominations will be issued in exchange therefor as provided in the Indenture.  The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.

A service charge will not be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds of Series Due 2013, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Bonds of Series Due 2013 are issuable as registered Bonds without coupons in the denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Bond, or under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the First Mortgage, against any incorporator, or any past, present, or future subscriber to capital stock, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any present or future rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, shareholders, officers and directors being released by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.

This Bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.

B-6

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Dayton Power and Light Company has caused this Bond to be executed in its name by the facsimile signature of its President or a Group Vice President and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed or a facsimile thereof reproduced hereon and attested by the facsimile signature of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY, a corporation of the State of Ohio (hereinafter called the Company), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, on October 1, 2013, 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 the payment of public and private debts, and to pay to the registered owner hereof interest thereon from the interest payment date to which interest has been paid last preceding the date hereof (unless the date hereof is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case from the date hereof, or unless the date hereof is prior to April 1, 2004, in which case from September 29, 2003), at the rate of Five and One-Eighth per centum (5-1/8%) per annum in like coin or currency, payable at said office or agency semiannually on
April 1 and October 1 in each year, commencing April 1, 2004, and at maturity, until the Company’s obligation with respect to the payment of such principal shall have been discharged, such interest to be paid to the person who shall have been the registered owner hereof at the close of business on the Business Day (as 

C-1

defined in the Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture referred to below) immediately preceding such April 1 or October 1, as the case may be (subject to certain exceptions provided in the Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture referred to herein).  The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed.  In the event that any date on which principal or interest is payable on this Bond is not a Business Day, the payment of the principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

This Bond is one of an issue of First Mortgage Bonds of the Company issued and to be issued in series under and pursuant to and equally secured by an indenture of mortgage and deed of trust dated as of October 1, 1935, executed by the Company to Irving Trust Company, as Trustee (now The Bank of New York), as said indenture has been amended and supplemented as hereinafter stated, and is one of a series of said First Mortgage Bonds, which series is designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, 5-1/8% Series Due 2013 of the Company (hereinafter called the Bonds of Series Due 2013) created and described in a Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 2003, executed by the Company to The Bank of New York, as Trustee.

September 1, 2003, supplementing and amending as therein set forth certain provisions thereof.  Said indenture of mortgage and deed of trust and such supplemental indentures collectively are hereinafter sometimes called the “Indenture”.

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 Trustee therein and thereto, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are issued and secured, reference is hereby made to the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to such Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, the holders of the Bonds, by their acceptance and holding hereof, consent and agree to change “at least 75%” in the foregoing sentence to “a majority”. 

Bonds of Series Due 2013 may be redeemed, prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, as a whole at any time, or in part from time to time, upon notice mailed to each registered holder 

C-2

of this Bond at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the date of redemption, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series Due 2013 being redeemed or (ii) as determined by a Quotation Agent as of the date of redemption, the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Bonds of Series Due 2013 from the date of redemption to the maturity date of the Bonds of Series Due 2013 (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to such date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

          As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the respective meanings unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

          “Treasury Rate” means (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately prior week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve 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 time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity date (if no maturity is within three months before or after such time period, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such time period shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if
such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date 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 date of redemption.  The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date of redemption.

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the time period from the date of redemption to the applicable maturity 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 time period.  If no United States Treasury security has a maturity which is within a period from three months before to three months after the applicable maturity date, the two most closely corresponding United States Treasury securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated and extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month using such securities.

          “Quotation Agent” means Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors as selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary United States Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury 

C-3

Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) up to three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of up to five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date of redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such date of redemption.

The principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of a completed default as in the Indenture provided.

Subject to the provisions of any legend set forth hereon, this Bond may be exchanged for a like principal amount of other Bonds or transferred as prescribed in the Indenture 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, and thereupon a new registered Bond or Bonds of Series Due 2013 without coupons for a like principal amount and of authorized denominations will be issued in exchange therefor as provided in the Indenture.  The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.

A service charge will not be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds of Series Due 2013, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Bonds of Series Due 2013 are issuable as registered Bonds without coupons in the denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Bond, or under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture, against any incorporator, or any past, present, or future subscriber to capital stock, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any present or future rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, shareholders, officers and directors being released by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.

C-4

This Bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.

C-5

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Dayton Power and Light Company has caused this Bond to be executed in its name by the facsimile signature of its President or a Group Vice President and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed or a facsimile thereof reproduced hereon and attested by the facsimile signature of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.
