ARTICLE One



BONDS OF THE 1.875% SERIES DUE 2016 AND ISSUE THEREOF

Series and Form of New Bonds

.  There shall be a series of Bonds designated “1.875% Series Due 2016”, 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-Seventh Supplemental Indenture in the initial principal amount of $445,000,000.  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 19, 2013), may also be issued by the Company pursuant to the First Mortgage as amended and this Forty-Seventh 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 and B hereto, as applicable.

Issue of New Bonds

.  Upon the execution and delivery of this Forty-Seventh 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-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, authenticate the New Bonds and deliver the New Bonds as provided in said Article Five, Article Six or Article Seven.

Dates, Interest, etc., of New Bonds

.  The New Bonds shall be dated as provided in Section 3 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended; shall mature September 15, 2016; and shall bear interest from September 19, 2013 as provided in said Section 3 of Article Two at the rate of 1.875% per annum until paid or redeemed as hereinafter provided, payable on March 15, 2014 and thereafter semi-annually on each March 15 and September 15, and on the maturity date, to the Bondholders in whose names such New Bonds are registered at the close of business on the February 28 or August 31 immediately preceding such March 15 or September 15, as the case may be, 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(d) 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-Seventh 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. 

Denominations and Exchangeability of New Bonds; Temporary Bonds may be Authenticated and Delivered

.  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

12

 


 

 

benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage as amended as therein provided.

Redemption of New Bonds and Redemption Price

.  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 the Quotation Agent as of the redemption date, the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of principal and interest on such New Bonds from the redemption date to the stated maturity date of the New Bonds (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to such redemption date), discounted to the redemption date 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. 

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

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any redemption date, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the time period from the redemption date to the stated maturity date of the Bonds 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 stated maturity date of the Bonds, 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 one of the Reference Treasury Dealers selected by the Company and appointed to act in such role.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their successors;  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 and (ii) up to three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company.

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

13

 


 

 

such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

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

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 20 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 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-Seventh Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall

14

 


 

 

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-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, the New Bonds are not redeemable by the Company.

Registration Rights for New Bonds

.  The Company has entered into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of September 19, 2013 (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 and this Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture. 

Private Bonds

.     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.

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-Seventh 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.

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

Transfers of New Bonds

.     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 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 under the Securities Act or exchanged for an Exchange Bond.

For purposes of this Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, “Definitive New Bond Certificates” means New Bonds issued in definitive, fully registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, but without the depository legend and the Regulation S legend set forth therein. 

Global Securities shall initially be registered in the name of a nominee of the Clearing Agency.
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-Seventh Supplemental Indenture (including Section 8(d)(iii) and (iv) 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.
