ARTICLE I

_______________ SERIES BONDS

SECTION 1.    There shall be a series of bonds designated “__% Series due _________ __, 20__” (herein sometimes called the “_________ Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond”, and the form thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified. Bonds of the _________ Series (which shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $___________) shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, shall mature on __________ __, 20__, shall be issued as fully registered bonds in any integral multiple or multiples of ____________ Dollars, and shall bear interest at the rate of __% per annum, the first interest payment to be made on ________ __, 20__, for the period from _________ __, 20__ to _________ __, 20__ with subsequent interest payments payable ____________ on _______ __ and _________ __ of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), the principal of and interest on each said bond to be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.
Interest on the bonds of the ________ Series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity of any bond of the ________ Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding Interest Payment Date or redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.
So long as all of the bonds of the ___________ Series are held by The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, or a successor thereof, the record date for the payment of interest on the bonds of the _____________ Series shall be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the record date for the payment of interest which is paid after such Interest Payment Date, shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such interest is paid. Interest on the bonds of the ___________ Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name such bonds of the _____________ Series are registered at the close of business on the record





date for the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
The Company reserves the right to establish, at any time, by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a form of coupon bond, and of appurtenant coupons, for the ___________ Series and to provide for exchangeability of such coupon bonds with the bonds of said Series issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate provisions for such purpose.
(I) The bonds of the _____________ Series shall [not] be redeemable at the option of the Company[, in whole or in part, upon notice, as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to [insert prices or mechanism for determining prices at which redeemable, and related dates]]
(II) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the ___________ Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the _____________ Series of other authorized denominations.
Bonds of the ______________ Series shall be transferable, upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, together with a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the registrar duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the ______________ Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of said Series.
Upon the delivery of this ___________ Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, there shall be an initial issue of bonds of the _____________ Series for the aggregate principal amount of $_______________. Additional bonds of the ___________ Series, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the Outstanding bonds of the __________ Series (except for the issue date, the price to public and, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date) may be issued by the Company, subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, without the notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the bonds of the __________ Series.
ARTICLE II

CONSENT TO AMENDMENTS
SECTION 1.    Each initial and future holder of bonds of the ____________ Series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Article II of the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.
ARTICLE II
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 1.    The holders of the bonds of the ____________ Series shall be deemed to have





consented and agreed that the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of the bonds of the ______________ Series entitled to consent to any amendment or supplement to the Mortgage or the waiver of any provision thereof or any act to be performed thereunder. If a record date is fixed, those persons who were holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

In general, each and every term and condition contained in Article XVII of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, shall apply to and form part of this _____________ Supplemental Indenture with the same force and effect as if the same were herein set forth in full with such omissions, variations and insertions, if any, as may be appropriate to make the same conform to the provisions of this ____________ Supplemental Indenture.
SECTION 6.    Whenever in this ____________ Supplemental Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall, subject to the provisions of Articles XVI and XVII of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants and agreements in this ___________ Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Trustee, shall, subject as aforesaid, bind and inure to the respective benefits of the respective successors and assigns of such parties, whether so expressed or not.
