The holder of any coupon bond of the Seventh Series may have the ownership thereof registered as to principal at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and such registration noted on such bond. After such registration no transfer of such bond shall be valid unless made at said office or agency by the registered owner in person or by his duly authorized attorney and similarly noted on such bond; but (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) the same may be discharged from registration by being in like manner transferred to bearer and thereupon transferability by delivery shall be restored; but such bond may again from time to time be registered or transferred to bearer in accordance with the above procedure.

Fully registered bonds of the Seventh Series shall also be transferable (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) at said office or agency of the Company.
ARTICLE II
Sinking or Improvement Fund for Bonds of the Seventh Series.
Section 2.The Company covenants that, so long as any of the bonds of the Seventh Series shall remain Outstanding, it will, on or before March 1, 1962, and on or before March 1 of each year thereafter, to and including the year 1990, deliver to the Corporate Trustee:
(A) An Officers’ Certificate which shall state:
(a) the greatest principal amount of all bonds of the Seventh Series prior to January 1 of such year at any one time Outstanding;
(b) the aggregate principal amount of all bonds of the Seventh Series retired prior to the date of such Officers’ Certificate (i) pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (3) or subdivision (4) of Section 61 of the Mortgage by use or application of the proceeds of insurance on, the release or other disposition of, or the taking by eminent domain of, property; or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of Section 64 of the Mortgage;
(c) the aggregate principal amount of bonds the right to the authentication and delivery of which (on the basis of the retirement of bonds of the Seventh Series) shall have been waived prior to the date of such Officers’ Certificate pursuant to the provisions of clause (c) of subdivision (4) of Section 59 of the Mortgage as the basis of the release of property or pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (2) of Section 61 of the Mortgage as the basis of the withdrawal of cash representing proceeds of insurance on, the release or other disposition of, or the taking by eminent domain of, property;
(d) the amount remaining after deducting the sum of the amounts stated pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above from the amount stated pursuant to clause (a) above;
(e) the amount which is one per centum (1%) of the amount stated pursuant to clause (d) above; and
(f) an aggregate principal amount of bond(s) or fraction of a bond to the authentication and delivery of which the Company shall then be entitled on the basis of Property Additions or on the basis of the retirement of bonds of the Seventh Series by virtue of compliance with all applicable provisions of the Mortgage (except as hereinafter in this Section otherwise provided) if the Company elects to make its right to the authentication and delivery of such bond(s)-or fraction of a bond the basis of a credit under this Section.
(B) An amount in cash and/or principal amount of bonds of the Seventh Series equivalent to the amount stated in the Officers’ Certificate (due on or before March 1 of such year) provided for by this Section pursuant to the requirements of clause (e) of subdivision (A) of this Section; provided, however, that, against the amount of cash or bonds payable or deliverable pursuant to this subdivision (B), there shall be credited the principal amount of the bonds which shall be stated in such Officers’ Certificate pursuant to the requirements of clause (f) of subdivision (A) of this Section.
For the purpose of subdivision (A) of this Section the term “Outstanding” shall not include bonds of the Seventh Series pledged to secure indebtedness of the Company and not at any time otherwise issued by the Company.
Such cash together with any bonds delivered to the Corporate Trustee under the provisions of this Section shall be dealt with as provided for by this Section.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture or of the Mortgage, (i) the Company shall be permitted from time to time to anticipate in whole or in part the requirements of this Section becoming due on March 1 of the then current year or any subsequent year or years by depositing cash and/or a principal amount of bonds of the Seventh Series with the Corporate Trustee in full satisfaction or in partial satisfaction of the requirements of this Section and (ii) any cash so deposited, whether in full satisfaction or in partial satisfaction of the requirements of this Section and whether becoming due on March 1 of the then current year or of a subsequent year, may be from time to time withdrawn, used or applied in
the manner, to the extent, for the purposes and subject to the conditions provided in Section 31 of the Mortgage or in subdivisions (3) and/or (4) of Section 61 of the Mortgage; provided, however, that the retirement of no bonds of any series other than the Seventh Series shall be made the basis of the withdrawal of cash deposited under this Section and, provided further that no bonds of any series other than the Seventh Series shall be purchased, paid or redeemed, as above provided, with cash deposited under the provisions of this Section and that no bonds of the Seventh Series shall be purchased with cash deposited under this Section at such price (including accrued interest and brokerage) that the cost thereof to the Company is in excess of the cost of redeeming such bonds on a date forty (40) days after the date of such purchase (including premium, if any, and accrued interest from the interest date next preceding the date of purchase to such redemption date in such cost).
In case credit under the provisions of this Section is applied for in whole or in part upon the basis of the right to the authentication and delivery of bonds, the Company shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Mortgage relating to such authentication and delivery; except that the Company shall not be required to comply with any earning requirements or to deliver to the Corporate Trustee any Resolution, Officers’ Certificate, Net Earning Certificate or Opinion of Counsel such as is described in subdivisions (1), (2), (6) and (8) of Section 28 of the Mortgage.
So long as any bonds of the Seventh Series shall remain Outstanding, any election by the Company pursuant to clause (f) of subdivision (A) of this Section to make its right to the authentication and delivery of any bond(s) or fraction of a bond the basis of a credit under this Section shall operate as a waiver by the Company of its right to the authentication and delivery of such bond(s) or fraction of a bond and such bond(s) or fraction of a bond may not thereafter be authenticated and delivered under the Mortgage, and any Property Additions which have been made the basis of any such right to the authentication and delivery of bond(s) or fraction of a bond so waived shall have the status of Funded Property and shall be deemed to have been made the basis of a credit under the Mortgage.
For all purposes of the Mortgage (including all calculations thereunder), so long as any bonds of the Seventh Series remain Outstanding, as defined in Section 2 of the Mortgage:
(I) any cash deposited under the provisions of this Section or Section 40 of the Mortgage or Section 2 of the First, Second, Third, Fourth or Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be Funded Cash;
(II) any bonds of the Seventh Series delivered to the Corporate Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section or any bonds of the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth or Sixth Series delivered to the Corporate Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 of the First, Second, Third, Fourth or Fifth Supplemental Indenture or any bonds of the First Series delivered to the Corporate Trustee or credited pursuant to the provisions of Section 40 of the Mortgage shall, after such delivery or crediting, be deemed to have been retired by the use of Funded Cash; and
(III) with respect to all credits taken under this Section or Section 2 of the First, Second, Third, Fourth or Fifth Supplemental Indenture on the basis of waivers of the right to the authentication and delivery of bonds or otherwise, it shall be deemed that (in lieu of such credits being so taken) an amount of cash equal to each such credit was deposited pursuant to the provisions of this Section or of said Section 2 of the First, Second, Third, Fourth or Fifth Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, and concurrently with such deposit was withdrawn on the same basis as that on which such credit was taken.
Any bonds issued under the Mortgage, delivered to, deposited with or purchased or redeemed by, the Corporate Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall forthwith be canceled by the Corporate Trustee.
The Company shall forthwith from time to time on demand of the Corporate Trustee make further payments pursuant to the provisions of this Section on account of accrued interest, brokerage and premium, if any, on bonds purchased or redeemed or then to be purchased or redeemed but not in excess of
(AA) the aggregate cost for principal, interest, brokerage and premium, if any, on all bonds theretofore, or then to be, purchased and/or redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section;
after deducting therefrom
(BB) the aggregate principal amount of all bonds theretofore, and of all bonds then to be, purchased and/or redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section, plus the aggregate of all such further payments theretofore made pursuant to the provisions of this Section on account of accrued interest, brokerage and/or premium, if any.
ARTICLE III
Dividend Covenant.
Section 3.The Company covenants that, so long as any of the bonds of the Seventh Series are Outstanding, it will not declare any dividends on its Common Stock (other than (a) a dividend payable solely in shares of its Common Stock, or (b) a dividend payable in cash in cases where, concurrently with the payment of such dividend, an amount in cash equal to such dividend is received by the Company as a capital contribution or as the proceeds of the issue and sale of shares of its Common Stock) or make any distribution on outstanding shares of its Common Stock or purchase or otherwise acquire for value any outstanding shares of its Common Stock (otherwise than in exchange for or out of the proceeds from the sale of other shares of its Common Stock) if, after such dividend, distribution, purchase or acquisition, the aggregate amount of such dividends, distributions, purchases and acquisitions paid or made subsequent to March 31, 1960 exceeds (without giving effect to (i) any of such dividends, distributions, purchases or acquisitions, or (ii) any net transfers from earned surplus to stated capital accounts) the sum of (a) the aggregate amount credited subsequent to March 31, 1960 to earned surplus, (b) $6,550,000, and (c) such additional amount as shall be authorized or approved, upon application by the Company, by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or by any successor commission thereto, under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.
For the purpose of this Section 3 the aggregate amount credited subsequent to March 31, 1960 to earned surplus shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices after making provision for dividends upon any preferred stock of the Company, accumulated subsequent to such date, but in such determination there shall not be considered charges to earned surplus applicable to the period prior to April 1, 1960, including, but not limited to, charges to earned surplus for write-offs or write-downs of book values of assets owned by the Company on March 31, 1960. There shall be included as a deduction, however, in determining the net balance to be transferred from the income account for any period subsequent to March 31, 1960, amounts equal to the sum of (1) amounts, not otherwise deducted, which would be required to be included in operating expenses in each Net Earning Certificate by the provisions of Section 6 of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and (2) the Company’s provisions during such period for depreciation and retirement of property (but excluding from this subdivision (2) amounts included under subdivision (1) above), which sum, for the purposes of this Section 3, shall not be less than the aggregate
amounts required to be stated for the period from April 1, 1960 to the date of such dividend, distribution, purchase or acquisition in the Officers’ Certificate of Replacements by the provisions of subdivision (1) of subsection (I) of Section 39 of the Mortgage, including proportionate amounts calculated as provided in subdivision (1) thereof for any portion of the period elapsed since March 31, 1960 not theretofore included in any Officers’ Certificate of Replacements.
For the purpose of this Section 3, the Company’s provisions for depreciation and retirement of property shall be deemed to be the amount credited to the depreciation reserve account through charges to operating revenue deductions, or otherwise to income, as provided in the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed for Public Utilities and Licensees by the Federal Power Commission.
ARTICLE IV
Limitation on Acquisition of Property Subject to Prior Lien and on Issuance of Prior Lien Bonds.
Section 4.The covenants in Sections 4 and 5 of the Third Supplemental Indenture shall remain in effect so long as any bonds of the Seventh Series are Outstanding to the same extent as if the covenants in said Sections 4 and 5 were repeated in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture with the words “Seventh Series” substituted in place of the words “Fourth Series” each time such words appear in Sections 4 and 5 of the Third Supplemental Indenture.
ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous Provisions.
Section 5.Subject to the amendments provided for in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the terms defined in the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, shall, for all purposes of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, have the meanings specified in the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented.
Section 6.So long as any bonds of the Fifth, Sixth or Seventh Series shall remain Outstanding, in each Net Earning Certificate made pursuant to Section 7 of the Mortgage, there shall be included in operating expenses for the twelve (12) months period with respect to which such certificate is made, an amount, if any (not otherwise included), equal to the provisions for amortization of any amounts included in utility plant acquisition adjustment accounts for such period.
Section 7.So long as any bonds of the Seventh Series are Outstanding, subdivision (2) of Section 7 of the Mortgage is hereby amended by adding thereto the following words “provided, further, that the amount so included in such operating expenses in lieu of the amounts actually appropriated out of income for retirement of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property used primarily and principally in the electric, gas, steam and/or hot water utility business and the Company’s automotive equipment used in the operation of such property shall not be less than the amounts so actually appropriated out of income.”

seal shall be thereon impressed or imprinted and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, whose signature, except on bonds of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Series, may be facsimile. The coupons to be attached to coupon bonds shall bear the facsimile signature of the present or any future Treasurer of the Company. In case any of the officers who shall have signed any bonds or attested the seal thereon, or whose facsimile signature appears on any bond or coupon, shall cease to be such officers of the Company before the bonds so signed and/or sealed shall have been actually authenticated and delivered by the Corporate Trustee or issued by the Company, such bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, delivered and/or issued with the same force and effect as though the person or persons who signed such bonds and/or attested the seal thereon and/or whose facsimile signature appears on any bond or coupon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Company. Before authenticating any coupon bonds, the Corporate Trustee shall cut off and cancel all matured coupons thereto attached (except as otherwise provided or permitted in Sections 12 and 16 hereof).”
Section 8.The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action but without any consent or other action by holders of bonds of the Seventh Series or of any subsequently created series, to make such amendments to the Mortgage, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Section 20 and Section 126 thereof to change the figure “Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000)” appearing in said sections to “One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000)”.

Section 10.Section 55 of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, is hereby further amended to insert the words “and subject to the provisions of Section 2 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 1, 1960”, after the date “January 1, 1957”.

Section 14.It is the intention and it is hereby agreed that so far as concerns that portion of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property situated within the State of Louisiana the general language of conveyance contained in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture is intended and shall be construed as words of hypothecation and not of conveyance, and that so far as the said Louisiana property is concerned, this Sixth Supplemental Indenture shall be considered as an act of mortgage and pledge under the laws of the State of Louisiana, and the Trustees herein named are named as mortgagee and pledgee in trust for the benefit of themselves and of all present and future holders of bonds and coupons issued and to be issued under the Mortgage, and are irrevocably appointed special agents and representatives of the holders of the bonds and coupons issued and to be issued under the Mortgage and vested with full power in their behalf to effect and enforce the mortgage and pledge hereby constituted for their benefit, or otherwise to act as herein provided for.
