SECTION 6.           The New 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 and unpaid 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 Project Bond Trustee that the Company is exercising its option to direct the redemption of Project Bonds in whole or in part, as provided in Section 6.2 of the Loan Agreement and (b) an equivalent principal amount of New Project Bonds are being concurrently called for redemption.  Such officers’ certificate shall have attached to it a copy of said notice to the Project Bond Trustee and shall specify the redemption date of such New 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 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.

SECTION 7.           The New 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 September 1, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Prior to any such redemption, the Trustee shall have received an officers’ certificate to the effect that (a) the Company has given notice to the Project Bond Trustee that the Company is exercising its option to deliver moneys to the Project Bond Trustee for the redemption of Project Bonds in whole or in part, as the case may be, as provided in Section 6.1 of the Loan Agreement and (b) an equivalent principal amount of Project Bonds are being concurrently called for redemption.  Such officers’ certificate shall specify the principal amount of the New Bonds to be redeemed, shall have attached to it a copy of said notice to the Project Bond Trustee and shall specify the redemption date of such New 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 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.

SECTION 8.           Subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage as amended, written notice of redemption of the New 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 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 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 date; provided, however, that the registered owner or owners of all New Bonds may consent in writing to a shorter notice period, and

15

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 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 Project Bonds being concurrently redeemed.

SECTION 9.           In the event any Project Bonds shall be purchased by the Company and surrendered by the Company to the Project Bond Trustee for cancellation or shall be otherwise surrendered to the Project Bond Trustee for cancellation pursuant to the Project Bonds Indenture (except upon exchange for other Project Bonds), New Bonds equivalent in principal amount to the 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 Bonds shall be noted by an agency of the Company on the schedule of payments on such New 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 Bonds shall have been surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee as provided in Section 11 of this Article One.

SECTION 10.         In the event and to the extent the principal of or interest on any Project Bonds shall be paid, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, out of funds held by the 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 Bonds equal to an aggregate principal amount of such Project Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid, but, in the case of such payment of principal of such New 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 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 Bonds shall have been surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee as provided in Section 11 of this Article One.

SECTION 11.         When payment of any principal amount of a New 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 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 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 Bond to the Trustee for cancellation, in which event the Trustee shall cancel such New Bond and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge to the registered owner, New 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 Bond.

SECTION 12.         Except as in this Forty-Fourth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First

16

Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the New Bonds at any time outstanding.  The term “officers’ certificate as used in this Article One shall mean a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and any other Vice President, the Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or any other officer of the Company.
