The term “Comparable Treasury Price” shall mean, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

Section 1.04.    Number and Gender.

Unless the context otherwise requires, defined terms in the singular include the plural, and in the plural include the singular. The use of a word of any gender shall include all genders.

The form of bonds of the Forty-second Series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Bonds of the Forty-second Series shall mature on June 1, 2049, and shall be issued only as fully registered bonds in denominations of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and, at the option of the Company, in integral multiples thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof).

Interest on the bonds of the Forty-second Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the bonds of the Forty-second Series in respect of a portion of a month shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed using a 30-day month. In any case where any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity of any bond of the Forty-second Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding interest payment date or redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such interest payment date, redemption date or maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.

The Company reserves the right to establish at any time, by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a form of coupon bond, and of appurtenant coupons, for the bonds of the Forty-second Series and to provide for exchangeability of such coupon bonds with the bonds of said Series issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate provisions for such purpose.

Section 2.03.    Transfer and Exchange.

(a) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Forty-second Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.

Section 2.04.    Dating of Bonds and Interest Payments.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, bonds of the Forty-second Series shall be dated so that the Person in whose name any bond of the Forty-second Series is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on the interest payment date, except if, and to the extent that, the Company shall have defaulted in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding bonds of the Forty-second Series are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

Interest on this bond shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on this bond in respect of a portion of a month shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed using a 30-day month.

The interest so payable on any interest payment date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Mortgage hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in whose name this bond is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such interest payment date. At the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed on or prior to such interest payment date to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the register of the Company.

This bond shall not become obligatory until The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Mortgage, as hereinafter defined, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the authentication certificate endorsed hereon.

This bond is one of a series of bonds of the Company issuable in series and is one of a duly authorized series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 3.85% Series due June 1, 2049 (herein called bonds of the Forty-second Series), all bonds of all series issued under and equally secured by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indenture supplemental thereto, including the Thirty-eighth

Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 1, 2019, called the Mortgage), dated as of February 1, 1988, duly executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor Trustee. Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the mortgaged and pledged property, assets and rights, the nature and extent of the lien and security, the respective rights, limitations of rights, covenants, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the holders of bonds and the Trustee and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are, and are to be, secured, the circumstances under which additional bonds may be issued and the definition of certain terms herein used, to all of which, by its acceptance of this bond, the holder of this bond agrees.

The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to the maturity date hereinbefore named on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a Default as in the Mortgage provided. The Mortgage provides that in certain circumstances and upon certain conditions such a declaration and its consequences or certain past defaults and the consequences thereof may be waived by such affirmative vote of holders of bonds as is specified in the Mortgage.

The Mortgage contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee to execute supplemental indentures amending the Mortgage for certain specified purposes without the consent of holders of bonds.

Any consent or waiver by the 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 and of any bonds issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this bond or such other bond.

In case the Company, as permitted by the Mortgage, shall convey or transfer, subject to the lien of the Mortgage, all or substantially all the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety to a successor, the Company may be released and discharged from all obligations under the bonds of this series which are assumed by such successor.

The bonds are issuable as registered bonds without coupons in the denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York, and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage, bonds may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of other authorized denominations, without payment of any charge other than a sum sufficient to reimburse the Company for any tax or other governmental charge incident thereto. This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his or her duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, New York, upon surrender of this bond, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the transfer charges provided for in the Mortgage, and, thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof as provided in the Mortgage. The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This bond is redeemable at the option of the Company as provided in the Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or 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 being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

Each initial and future holder of this bond, by its acquisition of an interest in this bond, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article V of the Thirty-fourth Supplemental Indenture, Article V of the Thirty-third Supplemental Indenture, Article IV of the Thirty-second Supplemental Indenture and Article IV of the Thirtieth Supplemental Indenture, in each case without any other or further action by any holder of this bond, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.
