Interest on the Bonds shall be payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each an “interest payment date”), commencing March 15, 1992.  Each Bond shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding its date, unless authenticated on an interest payment date,  in which case it shall bear interest from such interest payment date, or, unless authenticated prior to the first interest payment date for the Bonds, in which case it shall bear interest from the date of original authentication and delivery of the Bonds; provided, however, that if at the time of authentication of any Bond interest on the predecessor Bond of such Bond is in default, such Bond shall bear interest from the date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid from the date of original authentication and delivery of the Bonds.  The Bonds shall be stated to mature (subject to the right of earlier redemption at the prices and dates and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth) and shall bear interest at the rates set forth below:

Principal of any Bond, premium, if any, thereon and, to the extent legally enforceable, any installment of interest not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate borne by such Bond plus one percent (1%).

The Bonds shall be issuable only as registered bonds without coupons, shall be in the form hereinabove recited, in the denomination of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or any

multiple thereof, shall be lettered “R”, and shall bear such numbers as the Company may reasonably require.

The principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 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; provided, however, that each installment of interest may be paid by check to the order of the person entitled thereto, mailed to such person’s address as the same appears on the books maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company, or by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions incorporated in an agreement between such person and the Trustee or the Company.

The person in whose name any Bond is registered at the close of business on any record date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Bonds are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of Bonds not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than ten days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest.  The term “record date” as used in this Section 1 with respect to any regular interest payment date shall mean the first day of the calendar month in which such interest payment date occurs if such first day is a business day; if such first day is not a business day, the record date shall be the next preceding business day.

Exchange of any Bonds shall be effected in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 of Article II of the Original Indenture.

The text of the Bonds and of the certificate of the Trustee upon such Bonds shall be, respectively, substantially of the tenor and effect hereinbefore recited.

SECTION 2.The Company shall establish a Sinking Fund for the benefit and security of the bonds of the 9.17% Series due 2 021 and shall pay to the Trustee on or before the fifteenth day of September (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) in each year commencing 2002 to and including 2020 a sum in cash sufficient to redeem on such Mandatory Redemption Date $400,000 principal amount of bonds of said series, which shall be applied on such Mandatory Redemption Date to the redemption of bonds of said series at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption.

For the purposes of this Section 2, any redemption of less than all of the bonds of the 9.17% due 2021 pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall be applied to the scheduled principal payments of such series in inverse chronological order.

SECTION 3.The Bonds of each series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company on or after September 15, 2 001, either as a whole or in part on any interest payment

date at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, plus a premium equal to the “Make-Whole Premium” determined five (5) business days prior to the date fixed for redemption; provided, that the Company shall furnish notice to the Trustee and to each holder of the Bonds of such series by telecopy or other same day communication, on a date at least two business days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such series of the Make-Whole Premium, if any, applicable to such redemption and the calculations, in reasonable detail, used to determine the amount thereof.

As used herein the following terms have the meanings set forth.

“Make-Whole Premium” shall mean, in connection with any redemption of the Bonds of a series, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption of each dollar of principal of the Bonds of such series being redeemed (taking into account in the case of the bonds of the 9.17% Series due 2021 the application of such redemption required by Section 2 of this Twenty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture) and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption had not been made, determined by discounting such amounts at the Reinvestment Rate from the respective dates on which they would have been payable, over (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding Bonds of such series being redeemed.  If the Reinvestment Rate is equal to or higher than the interest rate of such series of Bonds being redeemed, the Make-Whole Premium shall be zero.

“Reinvestment Rate” shall mean the sum of (i) 0.5% plus (ii) the arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings “This Week” and “Last Week” published in the Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the principal being redeemed (taking into account in the case of the bonds of the 9.17% Series due 2021 the application of such redemption required by Section 2 of this Twenty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture).  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such Weighted Average Life to Maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such Weighted Average Life to Maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the premium hereunder shall be used.

“Statistical Release” shall mean the statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Government Securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination hereunder, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the holders of 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds of the series being redeemed.

“Weighted Average Life to Maturity” of the principal amount of Bonds of a series being redeemed shall mean, as of the time of any determination thereof, the number of years obtained by dividing the then Remaining Dollar-Years of the principal of the Bonds of such series being redeemed by the aggregate amount of such principal.  The term “Remaining Dollar-

Years” of any such principal being redeemed shall mean the amount obtained by (i) multiplying (1) the amount by which each required repayment (including repayment at maturity) shall be reduced as a result of the redemption of such principal being redeemed (which redemption in the case of the bonds of the 9.17% Series due 2021 shall be applied as required by Section 2 of this Twenty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture) by (2) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) which will elapse between the date of determination and the date of that required repayment and (ii) totalling the products obtained in (i).

SECTION 4.The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption (i) in connection with the sale to or other acquisition by or on behalf of one or more governments or municipal corporations or other governmental subdivisions, bodies, authorities or agencies of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, or (ii) in connection with any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, occurring in connection with or subsequent to the acquisition of all or substantially all of the stock of the Company ordinarily entitled to voting rights by or on behalf of one or more governments or municipal corporations or other governmental subdivisions, bodies, authorities or agencies.  The Bonds are redeemable 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 one hundred per cent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption.

SECTION 5.Any redemption of the Bonds shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of Article V of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 6.Bonds of the 9.29% Series due 2 02 6 in the aggregate principal amount of $12,000,000, bonds of the 9.17% Series due 2021 in the aggregate principal amount of $8,000,000 and bonds of the 9.17% Series due 2011 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 may be issued under the provisions of Article IV of the Original Indenture and may forthwith be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee and shall be authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon the order of the Company, upon receipt by the Trustee of the resolutions, certificates, opinions or other instruments or all of the foregoing required to be delivered upon the issue of bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Original Indenture.
