First Mortgage Bond, Series 2009 due 2040
This bond is one of an issue of First Mortgage Bonds of the Company, issuable in series, and is one of the series designated in the title hereof, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except as to any sinking fund established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned for the bonds of any particular series) by an Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of April 1, 1932, executed by the Company to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by indentures supplemental thereto (herein referred to as the “Mortgage”), reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds in respect thereof and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured.
The bonds of this series are issued and to be issued in order to evidence and secure a loan made by the Issuer to the Company pursuant to the Agreement. In order to provide moneys to fund such loan, the Issuer has issued the Issuer Bonds under and pursuant to the Issuer Indenture. Payments made by the Company of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds of this series are intended to be sufficient to permit payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest to be made on the Issuer Bonds. Upon certain terms and conditions, moneys held under and pursuant to the Issuer Indenture, including moneys so held from the proceeds of the sale of the Issuer Bonds or earnings on the investment of such proceeds, or redemption of the Issuer Bonds shall be credited to or used for the payment of the bonds of this series and to the extent so credited or used shall satisfy a like amount otherwise due hereunder.
The bonds of this series are subject to optional and mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, as the case may be, on each date that Issuer Bonds are to be redeemed. The principal amount of the bonds of this series to be redeemed on any such date shall be equal to the principal amount of Issuer Bonds called for redemption on that date. All redemptions of bonds of this series shall be at the redemption prices that correspond to the redemption prices for the Issuer Bonds.
If and whenever the Trustee or the Company is notified that an event of default has occurred and is continuing under Section 9.01(e) of the Issuer Indenture or Section 8.01(a) of the Agreement, and provided that the principal of all Issuer Bonds then outstanding and the interest thereon shall have been declared immediately due and payable, then not later than two business days following the occurrence of the foregoing events, the Company shall, upon not less than 30 days’ and not more than 45 days’ prior written notice given in the manner provided in the Mortgage, call for redemption on a redemption date selected by it not later than 45 days following the date of such notice, all of the bonds of this series then outstanding, and shall on such redemption date redeem the same at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, except that such requirement or redemption shall be deemed to be waived if, prior to the date fixed for such redemption of the bonds of this series, such event of default is waived or cured.
In case a completed default, as defined in the Mortgage, shall occur, the principal of this bond and all other bonds of the Company at any such time outstanding under the Mortgage may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Mortgage. The Mortgage 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.
This bond, subject to the limitations with regard thereto contained in the Issuer Indenture, is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, N.Y., upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof as provided in the Mortgage, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the charges therein prescribed. The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.
As provided in Section 8.02 of the Issuer Indenture, from and after the Release Date (as defined in the Issuer Indenture), the obligations of the Company with respect to this bond shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged, this bond shall cease to secure in any manner the Company’s obligations under the Agreement with respect to the payment of any Issuer Bonds outstanding under the Issuer Indenture, and, pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Issuer Indenture, the Issuer Trustee shall forthwith deliver this bond to the Trustee for cancellation.
The bonds of this series are issuable as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and authorized multiples thereof. In the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Mortgage, registered bonds without coupons of this series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds without coupons of other authorized denominations of the same series, upon presentation and surrender thereof, for cancellation, to the Trustee at its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, N.Y.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

Part II
Description of Bonds of the Forty-fifth Series
Bonds of the Forty-fifth Series shall mature, subject to prior redemption, on the date set forth in the form of bond relating hereto hereinbefore set forth, shall bear interest at the rate from time to time borne by the Issuer Bonds; provided, however, that in no event shall the rate of interest borne by the Bonds of the Forty-fifth Series exceed 12% per annum. Such interest, payable on the same dates as interest on the Issuer Bonds, and all bonds of said series shall be designated as hereinbefore in the fifth Whereas clause set forth. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on said bonds shall be payable, to the extent specified in the form of bond hereinabove set forth, 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 the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, N.Y. Definitive bonds of said series may be issued, originally or otherwise, only as registered bonds without coupons; and they and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the forms hereinbefore recited, respectively. Definitive registered Bonds of the Forty-fifth Series may be issued in the denomination of $1,000 and in such other denominations (in multiples of $1,000) as the Board of Directors of the Company shall approve, and execution and delivery to the Trustee for authentication shall be conclusive evidence of such approval. In the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Indenture, registered bonds without coupons of said series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds without coupons of other authorized denominations of the same series, upon presentation and surrender thereof for cancellation to the Trustee at its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, N.Y. However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12 of the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any transfer or exchange of bonds of said series other than for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company. The form of the temporary bonds of said series shall be in substantially the form of the form of registered bond hereinbefore recited with such appropriate changes therein as are required on account of the temporary nature thereof. Said temporary bonds of said series shall be in registered form without coupons, registrable as to principal, and shall be exchangeable for definitive bonds of said series when prepared.
The person in whose name any registered bond without coupons of the Forty-fifth Series is registered at the close of business on any record date (as hereinbelow defined) with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such registered bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such bond is registered either at the close of business on the day preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest or on a subsequent record date for such payment if one shall have been established as hereinafter provided. A subsequent record date may be established by or on behalf of the Company by notice mailed to the holders of bonds not less than ten days preceding such record date, which record date shall be not more than 30 days prior to the subsequent interest payment date. The term “record date” as used in this Section with respect to any regular interest payment date shall mean the Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Issuer Indenture).
Except as provided in this Section, every registered bond without coupons of the Forty-fifth Series shall be dated and shall bear interest as provided in Section 10 of the Indenture; provided, however, that so long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on the bonds, the holder of any bond authenticated by the Trustee between the record date for any interest payment date and such interest payment date shall not be entitled to the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date and shall have no claim against the Company with respect thereto; and provided, further, that, if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, then any such bond shall bear interest from the interest payment date to which interest has been paid.
Upon any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all or any portion of the Issuer Bonds, whether at maturity or otherwise or upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Issuer Indenture, the Bonds of the Forty-fifth Series in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Issuer Bonds shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, be deemed paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment shall be discharged to such extent and, in the case of the payment of principal, such Bonds of the Forty-fifth Series shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in and subject to the terms of Section 8.01 of the Issuer Indenture. The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company under the Agreement to make payments with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Issuer Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing sentence unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Issuer Trustee signed by one of its officers stating (i) that timely payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Issuer Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Issuer Trustee pursuant to the Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.
