The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, hereafter issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) under the Indenture with the same terms and conditions, except for any difference in the issue price, Issue Date and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes, as the Initial Notes, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount.  Any such Additional Notes shall constitute a single series together with the Initial Notes for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, for purposes of any waivers, supplements or

Dollars or in such other coin or currency of the United States of America as of the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Article 3
SURVIVOR’S OPTION

4

SECTION 3.01  Survivor’s Option.  The Notes shall contain a provision that provides for the optional repayment of the Notes prior to their Stated Maturity, if requested by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of those Notes (the “Representative”), following the death of the beneficial owner (a “Survivor’s Option”), so long as the Notes were owned by the beneficial owner or his or her estate at least six months prior to the request and certain documentation requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that if the terms of any such Note conflict with any provision of this Article 3, the terms of such Note shall govern.  Pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option, the Company shall repay any Note (or portion thereof) properly tendered for repayment by the Representative under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the personal representative or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or surviving joint owner with such deceased beneficial owner) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in such Note plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of such repayment (or at a price equal to the amortized face amount for Original Issue Discount Securities on the date of such repayment), subject to certain limitations.  Any Note (or portion thereof) tendered pursuant to a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn.

The Company has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted by the Company from the Representatives of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to the greater of $1,000,000 or 1% of the principal amount of all the Notes outstanding as of the end of the most recent calendar year.  The Company also has the discretionary right to limit to $250,000 in any calendar year the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted by the Company from the Representative of any individual deceased beneficial owner of Notes in such calendar year.  The Company may also limit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option to principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.  Each of these limitations is referred to herein as a “Put Limitation.”

The death of a person holding a beneficial interest in a Note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased holder’s spouse, will be deemed to be the death of the beneficial owner of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to repayment.  However, the death of a person holding a beneficial interest in a Note as tenant in common with a person other than such deceased holder’s spouse will be deemed to be the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to the deceased person’s interest in the Note, and only the deceased beneficial owner’s percentage interest in the principal amount of the Note will be subject to repayment to the estate of the deceased beneficial owner upon application of the applicable Representative.

The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interests of ownership of a Note will be deemed to be the death of the beneficial owner of such Note for purposes of this provision, regardless of whether such beneficial owner was the registered holder of the Note, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee and the Company.  Such beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between spouses.  In addition, the beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to

5

exist in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interest in the Note during his or her lifetime.

Tenders of Notes (or portion thereof) pursuant to valid exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted in the order all such Notes are received by the Trustee, except for any Note (or portion thereof) the acceptance of which would contravene a Put Limitation, if applied.  If, as of the end of any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) that have been tendered pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option during such year has exceeded a Put Limitation, any exercise(s) of the Survivor’s Option with respect to Notes (or portions thereof) not accepted during such calendar year because such acceptance would have contravened such Put Limitation, if applied, shall be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order such Notes (or portions thereof) were originally tendered.  Any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 30 or more calendar days after the date of acceptance. In the event that a Note (or any portion thereof) tendered for repayment pursuant to a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Trustee shall deliver a notice, by first-class mail to the applicable Representative, that states the reason such Note (or portion thereof) has not been accepted for payment.

Subject to the foregoing, in order for a Survivor’s Option to be validly exercised, the Trustee and the Company must receive from the applicable Representative:  (i) a written request for repayment signed by such Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or medallion guaranteed by a savings bank or credit union; (ii) as applicable, tender of the Note to be repaid; (iii) appropriate evidence that (A) the deceased was the beneficial owner of the Note at the time of death and the interest in such Note was owned by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate at least six months prior to the request for repayment, (B) the death of such beneficial owner has occurred and the date of such death and (C) such Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner; (iv) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; (v) if the interest in such Note is held by a nominee, trustee, custodian or other person in a similar capacity of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company from such nominee, trustee, custodian or similar person attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership in such Note; (vi) tax waivers and such other instruments or documents that the Trustee and the Company reasonably require in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the Notes and the claimant’s entitlement to payment; and (vii) any additional information the Trustee or the Company reasonably requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of the Notes.  

For Notes represented by a Depository Global Security, the Depository or its nominee shall be the holder of such Note and therefore shall be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option for such Note.  To obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option with respect to such Note, the Representative must provide to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in such Note is held by the deceased beneficial owner:  (i) a written instruction to such broker or other entity to notify the Depository of the Representative’s

6

desire to obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option; (ii) the documents referenced above in the preceding paragraph; (ii) a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company from such broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner; and (iii) a detailed description of the Note, including CUSIP, interest rate, and Maturity Date.  Such broker or other entity shall be responsible for disbursing any payments it receives pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option to the appropriate Representative.

Subject to the Company’s right hereunder with respect to any Put Limitation, and provided that the requisite items above are in fact received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall be entitled to fully rely, and shall have no liability in relying, on the information supplied by a broker, the Representative or other entity with respect to the above and/or in processing the exercise of the Survivor’s Option.  All questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties, and the Trustee shall be entitled to fully rely upon the Company’s determination as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of a Survivor’s Option and shall not be liable with respect to the acceptance or rejection of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option.

3.60% Solar Bonds, Series 2015/C110-5

This note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company, designated as its “3.60% Solar Bonds, Series 2015/C110-5” (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2014 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), as supplemented with respect to the Notes by the One Hundred-and-Thirty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 13, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, and the Trustee, as trustee and as the authenticating agent, paying agent and security registrar (herein called the “Authenticating Agent,” “Paying Agent” and “Security Registrar”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, the Company and the Holders of the Notes.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Section 501 of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, then the Trustee, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default specified in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Section 501 occurs, then the principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.  Upon any such waiver, said default shall for all purposes of this Note and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures to modify provisions of the Indenture, subject to exceptions permitting the modification of the Indenture without the consent of any Holder of Notes or requiring the consent of each Holder of a Note affected by such modification all as set forth in the Indenture.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented hereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.
