This Bond is one of a series designated as the “First Mortgage Bonds, 4.15% Series due March 15, 2043” (herein called the “Bonds of 4.15% Series”) of the Company, issued under and secured by the Amended Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto and described in the supplemental indenture, dated as of March 11, 2013, between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds of 4.15% Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to the express date of the maturity hereof, in whole or in part, at any time. The Company shall give notice of its intent to redeem such Bonds at least 30 days but no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”). If the Company redeems all or any part of the Bonds of 4.15% Series pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph prior to September 15, 2042, it shall pay an amount equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of 4.15% Series being redeemed; and

(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest (not including the portion of any scheduled payment of interest which accrued prior to the Redemption Date) on the Bonds of 4.15% Series being redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points,

plus, in each case, accrued interest on those Bonds to the Redemption Date (calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period). If the Company redeems all or any part of the Bonds of 4.15% Series pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph on or after September 15, 2042, it shall pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of 4.15% Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of 4.15% Series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Bonds of 4.15% Series.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to September 15, 2042, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means an investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company that is not the Reference Treasury Dealer.

8

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means a primary United States Treasury securities dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to September 15, 2042, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to September 15, 2042, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee before any Redemption Date for the Bonds of 4.15% Series its calculation of the amount applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, the Company’s calculation of any redemption price of the Bonds of 4.15% Series.

In lieu of stating the amount applicable to such redemption, notices of redemption of the Bonds of 4.15% Series for a Redemption Date prior to September 15, 2042 shall state substantially the following: “The amount applicable to the Bonds of 4.15% Series to be redeemed shall equal the sum of (a) the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (not including the portion of any scheduled payment of interest which accrued prior to the Redemption Date) on the Bonds being redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Bonds) plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, (b) accrued interest on the principal amount hereof to the Redemption Date (calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period).”

If at the time notice of redemption is given the redemption moneys are not on deposit with the Trustee, then the redemption shall be subject to the receipt of such moneys on or before the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are received.

In case an event of default, as defined in the Amended Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Amended Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Amended Indenture. The Amended Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds entitled to vote then outstanding.
