The bonds of the New Series shall accrue interest from any such Interest Accrual Date at the rate provided in the form of bond hereinbefore recited until such default under the Company’s Series A Pollution

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 of Article III of the Mortgage, the holders of the bonds of the New Series, by acceptance of such bonds, waive thirty days’ notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 1 of Article III. Any such redemption shall be at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.

Section 2. Each bond of the New Series called for redemption under Section 1 of this Article IV shall be due and payable at the office of The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. at the applicable redemption price and on the specified redemption date, anything herein or in such bond to the contrary notwithstanding.

ARTICLE V.

CREDITS WITH RESPECT TO PRINCIPAL OF AND

INTEREST ON BONDS OF THE NEW SERIES
