FIRST MORTGAGE BOND,
 
SERIES 2001C COLLATERAL BONDS DUE MAY 1, 2026
 
This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company (herein referred to as the “bonds”), not limited in principal amount, issuable in series, which different series may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates, and may otherwise vary as in the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned provided, and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, Series 2001C Collateral Bonds due May 1, 2026 (herein sometimes referred to as “Series 2001C Collateral Bonds”), all  bonds of all series and tranches issued and to be issued under and equally and ratably 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 or tranche) by the Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1943, executed by the Company to THE NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY, as Trustee, to which THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, a New York corporation, is successor Trustee (herein, together with any indentures supplemental thereto, including the One Hundred and Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 22, 2009 (the “One Hundred and Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), called the “Mortgage”), to which reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights and limitations of rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Company in respect thereof, the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are, and are to be, issued and secured. The Mortgage contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) in principal amount of all the bonds at the time outstanding (determined as provided in the Mortgage), evidenced as in the Mortgage provided, or in case the rights under the Mortgage of the holder of the bonds of one or more, but less than all, of the series of bonds outstanding shall be affected, then with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding of the one or more series, taken in the aggregate, affected (determined as provided in the Mortgage), evidenced as in the Mortgage provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Mortgage or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any bonds, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, without the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of bonds, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding.  Any such consent by the registered holder of this bond (unless effectively revoked as provided in the Mortgage) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon this bond.  No reference herein to the Mortgage and no provision of this bond or of the Mortgage shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this bond at the time and place, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

The Series 2001C Collateral Bonds are subject to redemption on the date, in the principal amount and at the redemption price that correspond to the redemption date for, the principal amount to be redeemed of, and the redemption price for, the Series 2001C Refunding Revenue Bonds.  In the event that any Series 2001C Refunding Revenue Bonds are redeemed prior to maturity in accordance with the provisions of the Series 2001C Indenture, an equal principal amount of Series 2001C Collateral Bonds shall be deemed to have been redeemed and the holder hereunder, as holder of all Series 2001C Collateral Bonds of this series outstanding, hereby agrees to and shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation such principal amount of Series 2001C Collateral Bonds so deemed to have been redeemed.  The Company agrees to give the Trustee notice of the redemption of any Series 2001C Refunding Revenue Bonds on or before the date fixed for any such redemption.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this bond or the Mortgage, the holder of the Series 2001C

The Series 2001C Collateral Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption at any time, as a whole, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, without premium, in the event the Trustee shall receive a written demand (a “Series 2001C Default Redemption Demand”) from the holder of the Series 2001C Collateral Bonds for redemption stating that the Company has failed to pay to Ambac any amount due and payable under Section 2.01(a) of the Series 2001C Insurance Agreement.  The Trustee shall within 10 days of receiving the Series 2001C Default Redemption Demand mail a copy to the Company stamped or otherwise marked to show the date of receipt by the Trustee.  The Company shall fix a redemption date and shall mail to the Trustee notice of the date selected at least 15 days prior to the date so selected.  Such redemption date may be any day not more than 60 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the Series 2001C Default Redemption Demand.  If the Trustee does not receive notice of such selection by the Company within 45 days after the Series 2001C Default Redemption Demand was received by the Trustee, then the redemption date shall be the 60th day after such receipt.  The Trustee shall mail notice of the redemption date (the “Default Redemption Notice”) to the holder of the Series 2001C Collateral Bonds not more than 10 nor less than 5 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.  The Trustee shall not mail any Default Redemption Notice (and no such redemption shall be made) if the Trustee receives prior to the mailing of the Default Redemption Notice a written cancellation of the Series 2001C Default Redemption Demand from the holder of the Series 2001C Collateral Bonds.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this bond or the Mortgage, the holder of the Series 2001C Collateral Bonds by the acceptance of the Series 2001C Collateral Bonds hereby waives any longer notice of redemption.

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 Series 2001C Collateral Bonds are issuable only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and authorized multiples thereof.  To the extent this bond is transferable, it may be transferred as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered holder hereof in person, or by his or her duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon a new fully registered bond or bonds of authorized denominations of the same series and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage, and in each case without payment of any service or other similar charge, as provided in the One Hundred and Fifth Supplemental Indenture.  The Company and the Trustee, any paying agent and any bond registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether or not this bond shall be overdue, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any bond registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Mortgage provides that if the Company shall deposit with the Trustee in trust for the purpose funds sufficient to pay the principal of all of the bonds of any series, or such of the bonds of any series as have been or are to be called for redemption, and premium, if any, thereon, and all interest payable on such bonds to the date on which they become due and payable at maturity or upon redemption or otherwise, and shall comply with the other provisions of the Mortgage in respect thereof, then from the date of such deposit such bonds shall no longer be entitled to any lien or benefit under the Mortgage.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on, or in respect of, the Mortgage, against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, 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, stockholders, officers and directors, as such, being waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

5.22% COLLATERAL BONDS DUE DECEMBER 30, 2016
 
This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company (herein referred to as the “bonds”), not limited in principal amount, issuable in series, which different series may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates, and may otherwise vary as in the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned provided, and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 5.22% Collateral Bonds due December 30, 2016 (herein sometimes referred to as “5.22% Collateral Bonds”), all bonds of all series and tranches issued and to be issued under and equally and ratably 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 or tranche) by the Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1943, executed by the Company to THE NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY, as Trustee, to which THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, a New York corporation, is successor Trustee (herein, together with any indentures supplemental thereto, including the One Hundred and Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 22, 2009 (the “One Hundred and Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), called the “Mortgage”), to which reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights and limitations of rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Company in respect thereof, the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are, and are to be, issued and secured. The Mortgage contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) in principal amount of all the bonds at the time outstanding (determined as provided in the Mortgage), evidenced as in the Mortgage provided, or in case the rights under the Mortgage of the holder of the bonds of one or more, but less than all, of the series of bonds outstanding shall be affected, then with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding of the one or more series, taken in the aggregate, affected (determined as provided in the Mortgage), evidenced as in the Mortgage provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Mortgage or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any bonds, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, without the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of bonds, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding.  Any such consent by the registered holder of this bond (unless effectively revoked as provided in the Mortgage) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon this bond.  No reference herein to the Mortgage and no provision of this bond or of the Mortgage shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this bond at the time and place, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

The Mortgage provides that if the Company shall deposit with the Trustee in trust for the purpose funds sufficient to pay the principal of all of the bonds of any series, or such of the bonds of any series as have been or are to be called for redemption, and premium, if any, thereon, and all interest payable on such bonds to the date on which they become due and payable at maturity or upon redemption or otherwise, and shall comply with the other provisions of the Mortgage in respect thereof, then from the date of such deposit such bonds shall no longer be entitled to any lien or benefit under the Mortgage.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on, or in respect of, the Mortgage, against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, 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, stockholders, officers and directors, as such, being waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.
