(REVERSE)

This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issuable in series, and is one of a series known as its “First Mortgage Bonds, 3.50% Series due May 21, 2029” (hereinafter called “Bonds of 2029 Series”), all bonds of

- 3 -


all series issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indentures supplemental thereto, called the Mortgage), dated January 15, 1937, executed by the Company to THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON (ultimate successor to the Irving Trust Company), as Trustee, to which Mortgage reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured. With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and/or of any instruments supplemental thereto may be modified or altered by affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds affected by such modification or alteration then outstanding under the Mortgage (excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company’s interest therein as provided in the Mortgage); provided that no such modification or alteration shall permit the extension of the maturity of the principal of this bond or the reduction in the rate of interest hereon or any other modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest without the consent of the holder hereof.
The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to the express date of the maturity hereof on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a completed default as in the Mortgage provided.
The Bonds of 2029 Series are issuable only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage 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 upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the transfer charges prescribed in the Mortgage, and thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage.
The Company and the 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 principal or (subject to the provisions of the Mortgage) interest hereon and for all other purposes and the Company and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In order to enable the Trustee to comply with its obligations under applicable tax laws, rules and regulations in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”), the Company shall provide to the Trustee, following written request from the Trustee, such information concerning the holders of the Bonds of 2029 Series as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to determine whether the Trustee has any tax-related obligations under Applicable Law with respect to the payments made to holders of the Bonds of 2029 Series, but only to the extent (a) such information is in the Company’s possession, (b) such information is not subject to any confidentiality or similar agreement or undertaking or otherwise deemed by the Company to be confidential and (c) providing such information to the Trustee does not, in the judgment of the Company, breach or violate or constitute a default under any applicable laws, rules or regulations or any instrument or agreement to which the Company of any of its affiliates is a party or may be bound. The Company, the Trustee or any paying agent for the Bonds of 2029 Series shall be permitted to make any withholding or deduction from the amount of principal and interest payable to holders of the bonds of 2029 Series to the extent required under Applicable Law.
The Bonds of 2029 Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to the express date of the maturity hereof, in whole or in part, at any time; provided that the Company may not redeem less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of 2029 Series in the case of any partial redemption. The Company shall give notice of its intent to redeem such Bonds to the holders of such Bonds of 2029 Series at least 30 days but no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”).

- 4 -


Except as otherwise provided in the succeeding paragraph with respect to optional redemption during the Prepayment Period (as defined herein), if the Company redeems all or any part of the Bonds of 2029 Series pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, it shall pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of 2029 Series to be redeemed and a Make-Whole Amount, which shall be calculated as follows:
“Make-Whole Amount” means, as determined by the Company, with respect to any Bonds of 2029 Series, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Bonds of 2029 Series over the amount of such Called Principal of such Bonds of 2029 Series, provided, that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings and each of which will be determined by the Company:
“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized to be closed.
“Called Principal” means, with respect to any of the Bonds of 2029 Series, the principal of such Bonds of 2029 Series that are to be redeemed or have become or are declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Mortgage.
“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of 2029 Series, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Bonds of 2029 Series is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2029 Series, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Bonds of 2029 Series.
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2029 Series, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Bonds of 2029 Series.
“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal

- 5 -


component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2029 Series, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Bonds of 2029 Series, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date.
“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2029 Series, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Mortgage, as the context requires. The Company’s notice of redemption to the holders of Bonds of 2029 Series shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of 2029 Series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Bonds of 2029 Series held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with the next paragraph hereof), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer, assistant treasurer or comptroller of the Company (each, a “Senior Financial Officer”) as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and each holder of Bonds of 2029 Series a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.
Provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, within ninety days (90) days of the stated maturity date of the Bonds of 2029 Series (the period from such date to the stated maturity of the Bonds of 2029 Series being referred to herein as the “Prepayment Period”), the Company may, at its option, upon prior written notice as provided below, prepay all the Bonds of 2029 Series at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to the date of prepayment and without any Make-Whole Amount.
In the case of each partial prepayment of the Bonds of 2029 Series, the principal amount of the Bonds of 2029 Series to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Bonds of 2029 Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.
In the case of each prepayment of Bonds of 2029 Series, the principal amount of each of the Bonds of 2029 Series to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Bonds of 2029 Series paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Bonds of 2029 Series shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Bonds of 2029 Series.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee before any Redemption Date for the Bonds of 2029 Series its calculation of the amount applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, the Company’s calculation of any redemption price of the Bonds of 2029 Series.
If at the time notice of redemption is given the redemption moneys are not on deposit with the Trustee, then the redemption shall be subject to the receipt of such moneys on or before the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are received.

- 6 -


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

This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issuable in series, and is one of a series known as its “First Mortgage Bonds, 4.14% Series due May 21, 2049” (hereinafter called “Bonds of 2049 Series”), all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indentures supplemental thereto, called the Mortgage), dated January 15, 1937, executed by the Company to THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON (ultimate successor to the Irving Trust Company), as Trustee, to which Mortgage reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured. With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and/or of any instruments supplemental thereto may be modified or altered by affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds affected by such modification or alteration then outstanding under the Mortgage (excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company’s interest therein as provided in the Mortgage); provided that no such modification or alteration shall permit the extension of the maturity of the principal of this bond or the reduction in the rate of

- 8 -


interest hereon or any other modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest without the consent of the holder hereof.
The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to the express date of the maturity hereof on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a completed default as in the Mortgage provided.
The Bonds of 2049 Series are issuable only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage 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 upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the transfer charges prescribed in the Mortgage, and thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage.
The Company and the 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 principal or (subject to the provisions of the Mortgage) interest hereon and for all other purposes and the Company and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In order to enable the Trustee to comply with its obligations under applicable tax laws, rules and regulations in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”), the Company shall provide to the Trustee, following written request from the Trustee, such information concerning the holders of the Bonds of 2049 Series as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to determine whether the Trustee has any tax-related obligations under Applicable Law with respect to the payments made to holders of the Bonds of 2049 Series, but only to the extent (a) such information is in the Company’s possession, (b) such information is not subject to any confidentiality or similar agreement or undertaking or otherwise deemed by the Company to be confidential and (c) providing such information to the Trustee does not, in the judgment of the Company, breach or violate or constitute a default under any applicable laws, rules or regulations or any instrument or agreement to which the Company of any of its affiliates is a party or may be bound. The Company, the Trustee or any paying agent for the Bonds of 2049 Series shall be permitted to make any withholding or deduction from the amount of principal and interest payable to holders of the bonds of 2049 Series to the extent required under Applicable Law.
The Bonds of 2049 Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to the express date of the maturity hereof, in whole or in part, at any time; provided that the Company may not redeem less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of 2049 Series in the case of any partial redemption. The Company shall give notice of its intent to redeem such Bonds to the holders of such Bonds of 2049 Series at least 30 days but no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”).
Except as otherwise provided in the succeeding paragraph with respect to optional redemption during the Prepayment Period (as defined herein), if the Company redeems all or any part of the Bonds of 2049 Series pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, it shall pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of 2049 Series to be redeemed and a Make-Whole Amount, which shall be calculated as follows:
“Make-Whole Amount” means, as determined by the Company, with respect to any Bonds of 2049 Series, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Bonds of 2049 Series over the amount of such Called Principal of such Bonds of 2049 Series, provided, that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings and each of which will be determined by the Company:
“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized to be closed.

- 9 -


“Called Principal” means, with respect to any of the Bonds of 2049 Series, the principal of such Bonds of 2049 Series that are to be redeemed or have become or are declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Mortgage.
“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of 2049 Series, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Bonds of 2049 Series is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2049 Series, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Bonds of 2049 Series.
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2049 Series, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Bonds of 2049 Series.
“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2049 Series, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Bonds of 2049 Series, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date.
“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bonds of 2049 Series, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Mortgage, as the context requires. The Company’s notice of redemption to the holders of Bonds of

- 10 -


2049 Series shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of 2049 Series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Bonds of 2049 Series held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with the next paragraph hereof), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer, assistant treasurer or comptroller of the Company (each, a “Senior Financial Officer”) as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and each holder of Bonds of 2049 Series a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.
Provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, within ninety days (90) days of the stated maturity date of the Bonds of 2049 Series (the period from such date to the stated maturity of the Bonds of 2049 Series being referred to herein as the “Prepayment Period”), the Company may, at its option, upon prior written notice as provided below, prepay all the Bonds of 2049 Series at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to the date of prepayment and without any Make-Whole Amount.
In the case of each partial prepayment of the Bonds of 2049 Series, the principal amount of the Bonds of 2049 Series to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Bonds of 2049 Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.
In the case of each prepayment of Bonds of 2049 Series, the principal amount of each of the Bonds of 2049 Series to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Bonds of 2049 Series paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Bonds of 2049 Series shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Bonds of 2049 Series.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee before any Redemption Date for the Bonds of 2049 Series its calculation of the amount applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, the Company’s calculation of any redemption price of the Bonds of 2049 Series.
If at the time notice of redemption is given the redemption moneys are not on deposit with the Trustee, then the redemption shall be subject to the receipt of such moneys on or before the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are received.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, shareholders, officers and directors, as such, being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

- 13 -


AND THIS INDENTURE FURTHER WITNESSETH:
That in further consideration of the premises and for the considerations aforesaid, the Company, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee, and its successor or successors in such trust, as follows:
Section 1. (a)     The Company hereby creates (i) a fifty-eighth series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Original Indenture and this 2019 Supplemental Indenture, to be designated and to be distinguished from the bonds of all other series by the title “First Mortgage Bonds, 3.50% Series due May 21, 2029” and (ii) a fifty-ninth series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Original Indenture and this 2019 Supplemental Indenture, to be designated and to be distinguished from the bonds of all other series by the title “First Mortgage Bonds, 4.14% Series due May 21, 2049.” The Bonds of 2029 Series and the Bonds of 2049 Series are herein referred to collectively as the bonds of the New Series.
(b)     The Bonds of 2029 Series shall mature on May 21, 2029 and shall be issued in temporary or definitive form, only as fully registered bonds, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any multiple or multiples of $1,000 authorized by the Company; they shall bear interest at the rate of 3.50 per centum per year, payable semiannually on May 21 and November 21 each year, commencing November 21, 2019. The Bonds of 2049 Series shall mature on May 21, 2049 and shall be issued in temporary or definitive form, only as fully registered bonds, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any multiple or multiples of $1,000 authorized by the Company; they shall bear interest at the rate of 4.14 per centum per year, payable semiannually on May 21 and November 21 each year, commencing November 21, 2019. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each of the bonds of the New Series shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest shall be payable on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any interest payment date is not a business day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day with the same force and effect as if made on the interest payment date (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). “Business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed. Interest on the bonds of the New Series payable prior to maturity shall be paid by check mailed to the address of the person or persons entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the bond registration books maintained by the Trustee or by wire transfer to an account designated by the person entitled thereto.
Subject to the preceding paragraph, the person in whose name any bonds of the New Series is registered at the close of business on any record date (as hereinbelow 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 bonds of the New Series upon any transfer or exchange thereof (including any exchange effected as an incident to a partial redemption thereof) subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except that, if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, then the registered holders of bonds of the New Series on such record date shall have no further right to or claim in respect of such defaulted interest as such registered holders on such record date, and the persons entitled to receive payment of any defaulted interest thereafter payable or paid on any bonds of the New Series shall be the registered holders of such bonds of the New Series on the date of payment of such defaulted interest; and except that interest payable at maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is paid. The term “record date” as used in this Section 1, and in the form of the bonds of the New Series, shall mean the fifteenth calendar day of the month preceding the month in which an interest payment date occurs.
(c)     Except as provided in this Section 1, all of the bonds of the New Series shall be dated as provided in Section 10 of the Original Indenture. However, so long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on the bonds of the New Series, all bonds of the New Series authenticated by the Trustee between the record date for any interest payment date and such interest payment date shall be dated as of the day following such interest payment date and shall bear interest from such interest payment date; provided, however that if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the interest due on such interest payment date, then any such bonds of the New Series

- 14 -


shall bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date of such bond to which interest has been paid, unless such interest payment date is November 21, 2019, in which case from the date of original issuance of the bonds of the New Series.
(d)     All of the bonds of the New Series shall be redeemable as set forth in applicable the form of bond of the New Series set forth in this 2019 Supplemental Indenture.
(e)     Registered bonds of the New Series shall be transferable upon presentation and surrender thereof, for cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by the registered holders thereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, in the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Original Indenture. In the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Original Indenture, registered bonds of the New Series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of registered bonds without coupons of the New Series of other authenticated denominations, upon presentation and surrender thereof, for cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
(f)    So long as any Initial Bondholder (as hereinbelow defined) or its nominee shall be the registered holder of any bond of the New Series, and notwithstanding anything contained in the Original Indenture to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such bond of the New Series for principal, premium, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose by such Initial Bondholder in Schedule A to the Bond Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith, between the Company and the Initial Bondholders (the “Purchase Agreement”), or by such other method or at such other address as such Initial Bondholder shall have from time to time specified to the Trustee in writing for such purpose in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, without the presentation or surrender of such bond of the New Series, except that concurrently with payment and redemption in full of any bond of the New Series, the Initial Bondholder shall surrender such bond of the New Series for cancellation to the Company at its principal office or place of payment designated by the Company pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Original Indenture. The Company shall afford the benefits of this Section 1(f) to any Institutional Investor (as hereinbelow defined) that is the direct or indirect transferee of any bond of the New Series purchased by the Initial Bondholder under the Original Indenture. Upon receiving payment as specified above without the presentation or surrender of any bond of the New Series, the Initial Bondholder, its nominee or subsequent Institutional Investor shall be deemed to have agreed to indemnify the Company and the Trustee for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on either of their parts, arising out of or in connection with the Initial Bondholder’s, its nominee’s or such subsequent Institutional Investor’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 1(f), including the costs of defending itself in connection therewith, such indemnity to survive the payment of such bond of the New Series and any resignation or removal of the Trustee.
The term “Initial Bondholder” as used in this Section 1 means any registered holder of bonds of the New Series listed on Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement. Further, the term “Institutional Investor” as used in this Section 1 means (a) any Initial Bondholder, (b) any holder of a bond of the New Series holding more than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the bonds of the New Series then outstanding, and (c) any bank, trust company, savings and loan association or other financial institution, any pension plan, any investment company, any insurance company, any broker or dealer, or any other similar financial institution or entity, regardless of legal form.
SECTION 2. In accordance with and in compliance with the provisions of Article VI of the Original Indenture, (i) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) principal amount of Bonds of 2029 Series and (ii) Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) principal amount of Bonds of 2049 Series may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee, and shall be authenticated by the Trustee and delivered (without awaiting the filing or recording of this 2019 Supplemental Indenture) from time to time in accordance with the order or orders of the Company, evidenced by a writing or writings signed in the name of the Company by its President or one of its Vice Presidents and its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers.
SECTION 3. The approval by the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities of the execution and delivery of this 2019 Supplemental Indenture shall not in any way be construed as approval by said Board of any

- 15 -


other act, matter or thing which requires the approval of said Board under the laws of the State of New Jersey; nor shall said approval bind said Board or any other public body or authority of the State of New Jersey having jurisdiction in the premises in any future application for the issue of bonds under the Original Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or otherwise.
SECTION 4. As supplemented by this 2019 Supplemental Indenture, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and the Original Indenture and this 2019 Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.
Nothing in this 2019 Supplemental Indenture contained shall, or shall be construed to, confer upon any person other than the holders of bonds issued under the Original Indenture and this 2019 Supplemental Indenture, the Company and the Trustee, any right to avail themselves of any benefit of any provision of the Original Indenture or of this 2019 Supplemental Indenture.
The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals of facts contained herein and makes no representations as to the validity of this 2019 Supplemental Indenture.
This 2019 Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
