CREATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLATERAL SERIES P BONDS

 

SECTION 1.  A new series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Indenture is hereby created, the bonds of such new series to be designated First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series P.   The Collateral Series P Bonds shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of One Hundred Twenty-Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($129,500,000), excluding any Collateral Series P Bonds which may be authenticated and exchanged for or in lieu of or in substitution for or on transfer of other Collateral Series P Bonds pursuant to any provisions of the Indenture.  The Collateral Series P Bonds shall mature on September 1, 2017.  The Collateral Series P Bonds shall not bear interest.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Colorado (hereinafter sometimes called the “Company”), promises to pay to U.S. Bank Trust National Association (formerly known as First Trust of New York, National Association), as successor trustee (the “1993 Mortgage Trustee”) under the Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1993 (the “1993 Mortgage”), of the Company, or registered assigns, One Hundred Twenty-Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars on September 1, 2017, at the office or agency of the Company in the city in which the principal corporate trust office of the 1993 Mortgage Trustee is located.  This bond shall not bear interest.  The principal of this bond shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

Any payment or deemed payment by the Company under the 1993 Mortgage of the principal of securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the 1993 Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the 1993 Mortgage Trustee of this bond (the “1993 Mortgage Securities”) (other than by the application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of this bond) shall, to the extent thereof, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of this bond which is then due.

 

This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under and equally and ratably secured (except as any sinking, amortization, improvement or other fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the indenture hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a

certain indenture, dated as of December 1, 1939, made by the Company to U.S. BANK TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (formerly First Trust of New York, National Association), as successor trustee (hereinafter called the “Trustee”) to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (formerly Guaranty Trust Company of New York), as amended and supplemented by several indentures supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 1, 2005 (said Indenture as amended and supplemented by said indentures supplemental thereto being hereinafter called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights and limitations of rights of the Company, the Trustee, and the holders of said bonds, under the Indenture, and the terms and conditions upon which said bonds are secured, to all of the provisions of which Indenture and of all indentures supplemental thereto in respect of such security, including the provisions of the Indenture permitting the issue of bonds of any series for property which, under the restrictions and limitations therein specified, may be subject to liens prior to the lien of the Indenture, the holder, by accepting this bond, assents.  To the extent permitted by and as provided in the Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of said bonds (including those pertaining to any sinking or other fund) may be changed and modified, with the consent of the Company, by the holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the bonds then outstanding (excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company’s interest therein as provided in the Indenture); provided, however, that without the consent of the holder hereof no such modification or alteration shall be made which will extend the time of payment of the principal of this bond or reduce the principal amount hereof or effect any other modification of the terms of payment of such principal or will reduce the percentage of bonds required for the aforesaid actions under the Indenture.  The Company has reserved the right to amend the Indenture without any consent or other action by holders of any series of bonds created after October 31, 1975 (including this series) so as to change 75% in the foregoing sentence to 60% and to change certain procedures relating to bondholders’ meetings.  This bond is one of a series of bonds designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series P, of the Company.

 

This bond shall be redeemable at the option of the Company in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

 

In the event that any or all of the 1993 Mortgage Securities are redeemed pursuant to Section (h)(i) or (ii) of Article I of Supplemental Indenture No. 16 to the 1993 Mortgage, this bond shall be redeemed in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the 1993 Mortgage Securities to be redeemed and on the date fixed for redemption of the 1993 Mortgage Securities.

 

The principal of this bond may be declared or may become due before the maturity hereof, on the conditions, in the manner and at the times set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of an event of default as therein provided.

 

This bond is not transferable except to a successor trustee under the 1993 Mortgage, any such transfer to be made at the office or agency of the Company in the city in which the principal corporate trust office of the 1993 Mortgage Trustee is located, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon a new bond of this series of a like principal amount will be issued to

the transferee in exchange therefor, as provided in the Indenture.  The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any registrar 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.  This bond, alone or with other bonds of this series, may in like manner be exchanged at such office or agency for one or more new bonds of this series of the same aggregate principal amount, all as provided in the Indenture.  No service charge shall be made to any holder of any bond of this series for any exchange or transfer of bonds.

 

No recourse under or upon any covenant or obligation of the Indenture, or of any bonds thereby secured, or for any claim based thereon, or otherwise in any manner in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company, whether former, present or future, either directly, or indirectly through the Company or the Trustee, by the enforcement of any subscription to capital stock, assessment or otherwise, or by any legal or equitable proceeding by virtue of any statute or otherwise (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any proceeding to enforce any claimed liability of shareholders of the Company based upon any theory of disregarding the corporate entity of the Company or upon any theory that the Company was acting as the agent or instrumentality of the shareholders), any and all such liability of incorporators, shareholders, subscribers, officers and directors, as such, being released by the holder hereof, by the acceptance of this bond, and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture under which this bond is issued.

 

This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication endorsed hereon shall have been signed by U.S. Bank Trust National Association, or its successor, as Trustee under the Indenture.
