Section 20.1

 

Bonds of the 4.80% Pollution Control Series 2005-A Due 2034 and Issue Thereof.

 

(a)                                                                                         There shall be a series of Bonds designated “4.80% Pollution Control Series 2005-A Due 2034”, each of which shall bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond.  The aggregate principal amount of the New Water Bonds which may be outstanding under the First Mortgage as amended and this Forty-Third Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $41,300,000, except as provided in Section 9 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended.

 

(b)                             Upon the execution and delivery of this Forty-Third Supplemental Indenture and upon delivery of $41,300,000 aggregate principal amount of the New Water 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-Third Supplemental Indenture, authenticate the New Water Bonds and deliver the New Water Bonds as provided in said Article Five, Article Six or Article Seven.

 

(c)                              The New Water Bonds shall be dated as provided in Section 3 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended; shall mature on January 1, 2034; and shall bear interest from August 17, 2005 as provided in said Section 3 of Article Two at the rate of four and eighty hundredths per centum (4.80%) per annum until paid or redeemed as hereinafter provided, payable on January 1, 2006 and thereafter semi-annually on each January 1 and July 1, and on the maturity date, to the Bondholders in whose names such New Water Bonds are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such January 1 or July 1, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any New Water Bonds, such interest in default shall be paid to the Bondholders in whose names the New Water 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.  The New Water Bonds shall be payable as to both principal 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 consisting of twelve 30-day months.  In the event that any date on which principal or interest is payable on the New Water 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.

Whenever any New Water Bond or New Water Bonds shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in said Borough of Manhattan for exchange for a New Water Bond or New Water Bonds of other authorized denomination or denominations, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon cancellation of the New Water Bond or New Water Bonds so surrendered, a New Water Bond or New Water 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 Water 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 Water Bond or New Water Bonds in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the New Water Bond so presented.

 

The Company shall not be required to (a) register a transfer of, or exchange, any New Water Bond during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of New Water Bonds to be redeemed or (b) register a transfer of, or exchange, any New Water 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 Water Bonds, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Project Bonds in whole or in part, as the case may be, as provided in Section 6.3 of the Water Pollution Control Agreement and (b) an equivalent principal amount of the Water Project Bonds are being concurrently called for redemption.  Said notice shall specify the redemption date of such New Water Bonds (which redemption date shall be the same date as the redemption date specified in said notice for the Water Project Bonds being currently redeemed).  Any such redemption shall be made upon the notice and in the manner provided in this Article One, subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended.

 

(f)                                                                                           The New Water Bonds shall be subject to redemption, at the option of the Company, prior to maturity at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, upon receipt by the Trustee of an officers’ certificate to the effect that (a) the Company has given notice to the Water Project Bond Trustee that the Company is exercising its option to direct the redemption of Water Project Bonds in whole or in part, as provided in Section 6.2 of the Water Pollution Control Agreement and (b) an equivalent principal amount of New Water Project Bonds are being concurrently called for redemption.  Such officers’ certificate shall have attached to it a copy of said notice to the Water Project Bond Trustee and shall specify the redemption date of such New Water Bonds (which redemption date shall be not less than 45 days (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) after the date of the mailing of such certificate and shall be the same date as the redemption date specified in said attached notice for the Water Project Bonds being concurrently redeemed).  Any such redemption shall be made upon the notice, which may be conditional as provided in Section 8 of this Article One, and in the manner provided in this Article One, subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended.

 

(g)                             The New Water Bonds shall also be subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at anytime on or after July 1, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

(h)                                                                                        Subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended, written notice of redemption of the New Water Bonds pursuant to any of Sections 5, 6 or 7 of this Article One shall be given by the Trustee by mailing, first class postage prepaid, or delivering by hand to the registered owner of such New Water Bonds to be redeemed a notice of such redemption at its last address as it shall appear upon the books of the Company for the registration and transfer of such New Water Bonds.  Any notice of redemption pursuant to said Sections 5, 6 or 7 shall be mailed or delivered by hand as least 30 days and not earlier than 60 days before the redemption

 

13



 

date; provided, however, that the registered owner or owners of all New Water Bonds may consent in writing to a shorter notice period, and such consent, if filed with the Trustee, shall be binding upon the Company and such registered owners and their transferees.  In the case of any notice of redemption of New Water Bonds pursuant to said Sections 6 or 7, such notice shall state that such redemption is conditional to the same extent and with the same effect, if any, as the notice of redemption of the Water Project Bonds being concurrently redeemed.

 

(i)                                                                                            In the event any Water Project Bonds shall be purchased by the Company and surrendered by the Company to the Water Project Bond Trustee for cancellation or shall be otherwise surrendered to the Water Project Bond Trustee for cancellation pursuant to the Water Pollution Control Indenture (except upon exchange for other Water Project Bonds), New Water Bonds equivalent in principal amount to the Water Project Bonds so surrendered shall be deemed to have been paid, but only when and to the extent that (a) such payment of the principal amount of such New Water Bonds shall be noted by an agency of the Company on the schedule of payments on such New Water Bonds and (if such agency is not the Trustee) written notice by such agency of such notation shall have been received by the Trustee or (b) such New Water Bonds shall have been surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee as provided in Section 11 of this Article One.

 

(j)                               In the event and to the extent the principal of or interest on any Water Project Bonds shall be paid out of funds held by the Water Project Bond Trustee or out of any other funds or shall otherwise be deemed to be paid, an equal amount of principal or interest, as the case may be, payable with respect to an aggregate principal amount of New Water Bonds equal to an aggregate principal amount of such Water Project Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid, but, in the case of such payment of principal of such New Water Bonds, only when and to the extent that (a) such payment of the principal amount thereof shall be noted by any agency of the Company on the schedule of payments on such New Water Bonds and (if such agency is not the Trustee) written notice by such agency of such notation shall have been received by the Trustee or (b) such New Water Bonds shall have been surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee as provided in Section 11 of this Article One.

 

(k)                                                                                         When payment of any principal amount of a New Water Bond is made as provided in Section 9 or 10 of this Article One, the registered owner thereof shall surrender it to an agency of the Company for notation and notification or to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in such Section.  All New Water Bonds deemed to have been paid in full as provided in Section 9 or 10 of this Article One shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Trustee shall forthwith cancel the same.  In the event that part of a New Water Bond shall be deemed to have been paid as provided in said Section 9 or 10, the registered owner may at its option surrender such New Water Bond to the Trustee for cancellation, in which event the Trustee shall cancel such New Water Bond and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge to the registered owner, New Water Bonds in such authorized denominations as shall be specified by the registered owner in an aggregate principal amount equal to  the unpaid balance of the principal amount of such surrendered New Water Bond.

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, 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

 

25



 

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.”

“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.”

 

(f)                                                                                           Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, 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.”

 

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

 

(h)                                                                                        Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be amended as follows:

 

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

 

26



 

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 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

 

27



 

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.”

 

(i)                                                                                            Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, 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.”

 

(j)                                                                                            Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, 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 such notice of

 

28



 

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:

 

(A)                              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
 
(B)                                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
 
(C)                                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

 

29



 

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 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.”

 

(k)                                                                                         Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, 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.”

 

(l)                                                                                            Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, Section 4 of Article Sixteen of the First Mortgage as amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

30

(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.”

 

(m)                                                                                      Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, 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”.

 

(n)                                                                                        Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Four, 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

 

31



 

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 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.”

 

(o)                                                                                        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 Four 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.
