(FORM OF REVERSE OF THE SERIES III BOND)

 

This bond is one of the bonds of the Company issued and to be issued from time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by an indenture of mortgage or deed of trust, dated September 1, 1939, from Public Service Company of Indiana (predecessor of the Company) to The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, to which LaSalle Bank National Association is successor trustee, (which indenture as amended by all supplemental indentures is hereinafter referred to as the “Indenture”). Said Trustee or its successor in trust under the Indenture is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Trustee.” Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged and the nature and extent of the security for said bonds. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as in the Indenture provided.

 

This bond is designated as “PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series III, Due December 1, 2039” (hereinafter referred to as the “Series III Bond”) of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture and created by a Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2004  (the “Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture”), which also amends the Indenture.

 

The rights and obligations of the Company and of the bearers and registered owners of bonds may be modified or amended with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding at a meeting of bondholders called for the purpose (and by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of bonds of any series affected by such modification or amendment in case one or more, but less than all, series of bonds are so affected), all in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, any consent by the bearer or registered owner of any bond being conclusive and binding upon such bearer or registered owner and upon all future bearers or registered owners of such bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made on such bond; provided that no such modification or amendment shall, among other things, extend the maturity or reduce the amount of, or reduce the rate of interest on, or otherwise modify the terms of the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on this bond, which obligations are absolute and unconditional, or permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property.  The Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture provides that at any time when no bonds issued under the Indenture prior to the issuance of the “PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series BBB, 8%, Due July 15, 2009” are outstanding, the Company reserves the right to amend the Indenture, without the consent or other action by the holders of the bonds outstanding at that time, to decrease the seventy-five per centum (75%) vote requirement referred to above to sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66-2/3%).

 

8



 

The Series III Bond shall be transferable only as required to effect an assignment thereof to a successor-in-interest of XL Capital under the Insurance Agreement, provided that the Trustee shall have received notice from the Company of such an assignment (which notice the Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry).

 

Each Interest Payment Date under the IDFA Indenture shall be an Interest Payment Date for the Series III Bond.  If and when interest is paid on the Series 2004B IDFA Bonds for any given period of time, then there is deemed to have been paid on this Series III Bond an amount of interest equal to such interest paid on the Series 2004B IDFA Bonds.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the amounts and Interest Payment Dates if any interest becomes payable on this Series III Bond.

 

The Series III Bond shall be deemed to have been paid and no longer outstanding under the Indenture to the extent that Series 2004B IDFA Bonds are paid or deemed to have been paid and are no longer outstanding under the IDFA Indenture and all amounts owed by the Company to XL Capital under the Insurance Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Trustee has received notice to such effect from the Company (which notice the Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this bond shall be deemed to have been paid and redeemed at any time if and to the extent that the Series 2004B IDFA Bonds are redeemed pursuant to the IDFA Indenture, in whole or in part, in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2004B IDFA Bonds redeemed and all amounts owed by the Company to XL Capital under the Insurance Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full.  In such an event, the Company shall notify XL Capital and the Trustee that a like principal amount of this bond shall be deemed to have been paid and redeemed.  The Series III Bond is not otherwise redeemable prior to its maturity.

 

XL Capital shall surrender this bond to the Company for cancellation and discharge by the Trustee upon the expiration of the Insurance Agreement or in the event that the Release Test (as defined in the Insurance Agreement) is satisfied.  The Trustee may cancel and discharge the Series III Bond upon presentment thereof by the Company without making further inquiry.

 

In the case of any of certain events of default specified in the Indenture, the principal of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable prior to the stated date of maturity hereof in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, to or against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor company, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor company, under any constitution or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, shareholders, directors and officers being waived and released

by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.

(FORM OF REVERSE OF THE SERIES JJJ BOND)

 

This bond is one of the bonds of the Company issued and to be issued from time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by an indenture of mortgage or deed of trust, dated September 1, 1939, from Public Service Company of Indiana (predecessor of the Company) to The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, to which LaSalle Bank National Association is successor trustee, (which indenture as amended by all supplemental indentures is hereinafter referred to as the “Indenture”). Said Trustee or its successor in trust under the Indenture is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Trustee.” Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged and the nature and extent of the security for said bonds. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as in the Indenture provided.

 

This bond is designated as “PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series JJJ, Due December 1, 2039” (hereinafter referred to as the “Series JJJ Bond”) of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture and created by a Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2004  (the “Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture”), which also amends the Indenture.

 

The rights and obligations of the Company and of the bearers and registered owners of bonds may be modified or amended with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding at a meeting of bondholders called for the purpose (and by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of bonds of any series affected by such modification or amendment in case one or more, but less than all, series of bonds are so affected), all in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, any consent by the bearer or registered owner of any bond being conclusive and binding upon such bearer or registered owner and upon all future bearers or registered owners of such bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made on such bond; provided that no such modification or amendment shall, among other things, extend the maturity or reduce the amount of, or reduce the rate of interest on, or otherwise modify the terms of the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on this bond, which obligations are absolute and unconditional, or permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property.  The Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture provides that at any time when no bonds issued under the Indenture prior to the issuance of the “PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series BBB, 8%, Due July 15, 2009” are outstanding, the Company reserves the right to amend the Indenture, without the consent or other action by the holders of the bonds outstanding at that time, to decrease the seventy-five per centum (75%) vote requirement referred to above to sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66-2/3%).

 

13



 

The Series JJJ Bond shall be transferable only as required to effect an assignment thereof to a successor-in-interest of XL Capital under the Insurance Agreement, provided that the Trustee shall have received notice from the Company of such an assignment (which notice the Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry).

 

Each Interest Payment Date under the IDFA Indenture shall be an Interest Payment Date for the Series JJJ Bond.  If and when interest is paid on the Series 2004C IDFA Bonds for any given period of time, then there is deemed to have been paid on this Series JJJ Bond an amount of interest equal to such interest paid on the Series 2004C IDFA Bonds.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the amounts and Interest Payment Dates if any interest becomes payable on this Series JJJ Bond.

 

The Series JJJ Bond shall be deemed to have been paid and no longer outstanding under the Indenture to the extent that Series 2004C IDFA Bonds are paid or deemed to have been paid and are no longer outstanding under the IDFA Indenture and all amounts owed by the Company to XL Capital under the Insurance Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Trustee has received notice to such effect from the Company (which notice the Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this bond shall be deemed to have been paid and redeemed at any time if and to the extent that the Series 2004C IDFA Bonds are redeemed pursuant to the IDFA Indenture, in whole or in part, in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2004C IDFA Bonds redeemed and all amounts owed by the Company to XL Capital under the Insurance Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full.  In such an event, the Company shall notify XL Capital and the Trustee that a like principal amount of this bond shall be deemed to have been paid and redeemed.  The Series JJJ Bond is not otherwise redeemable prior to its maturity.

 

XL Capital shall surrender this bond to the Company for cancellation and discharge by the Trustee upon the expiration of the Insurance Agreement or in the event that the Release Test (as defined in the Insurance Agreement) is satisfied.  The Trustee may cancel and discharge the Series JJJ Bond upon presentment thereof by the Company without making further inquiry.

 

In the case of any of certain events of default specified in the Indenture, the principal of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable prior to the stated date of maturity hereof in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, to or against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor company, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor company, under any constitution or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, shareholders, directors and officers being waived and released

(b)       the Series JJJ Bond shall be equal to the sum of (i) the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the principal amount of the Series 2004C IDFA, if any, outstanding on the date of such calculation which bear a fixed rate of interest by such fixed rate, plus (ii) the amount determined by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2004C IDFA Bonds, if any, outstanding on the date of such calculation which bear interest at rates which may fluctuate or may fluctuate from time to time in accordance with methods specified in such Series 2004C IDFA Bonds by 13% per annum.

 

Section 5.  Both the principal of and the interest on the Bonds of Series III and JJJ shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in Plainfield, Indiana, or, at the option of the holder thereof, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York,
