BUT IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for the equal and proportionate benefit and security (except as otherwise expressly provided) of all present and future holders of the Bonds and interest obligations issued and to be issued under and secured by the Indenture, and to secure the payment of such Bonds and the interest thereon, in accordance with the provisions of said Bonds and of the Indenture, without priority or distinction as to lien or otherwise of any Bonds over any other Bonds so that, except as otherwise expressly provided, the principal of, and the premium, if any, and interest on, every such Bond shall be equally and proportionately secured by the Indenture, as if all said Bonds had been issued, sold and delivered for value simultaneously with the execution of the Original Mortgage, and to secure the performance of and compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Indenture, pursuant to and under and subject to the provisions and conditions and for the uses hereinafter and in the Indenture set forth; it being hereby agreed as follows, to wit:

ARTICLE ONE.

BONDS OF THE SECOND 1999 SERIES AND CERTAIN

PROVISIONS RELATING THERETO.

SECTION 1.01. A. Terms of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series. There shall be hereby established a series of Bonds, known as and entitled “First Mortgage Bonds, 12 5/8% Series due 1999” (herein referred to as the “Bonds of the Second 1999 Series”). The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series shall not be limited, except as provided in Section 3.01 and in Article Five of the Indenture, and hereafter as may be provided in any indenture supplemental thereto.

The definitive Bonds of the Second 1999 Series shall be issued only as registered Bonds without coupons of the denomination of $1,000 or any multiple thereof, numbered R1 upwards.

 

17


December 1, 1979 shall be the date of the commencement of the first interest period for Bonds of the Second 1999 Series. All Bonds of the Second 1999 Series shall mature December 1, 1999 and shall bear interest at the rate of 12 5/ 8% per annum until the payment of the principal thereof, such interest to be payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 in each year commencing June 1, 1980. The principal of, and the premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series will be paid 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. Principal of and premium, if any, on Bonds of the Second 1999 Series will be payable at the principal corporate trust office in the City of Boston, Massachusetts, of the Trustee, except that, in case of the redemption as a whole at any time of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series then outstanding, the Company may designate in the redemption notice other offices or agencies, at which, at the option of the holders, Bonds of the Second 1999 Series may be surrendered for redemption and payment. Except as hereinbefore provided, interest on Bonds of the Second 1999 Series shall be payable at the principal corporate trust office in the City of Boston, Massachusetts, of the Trustee, in each case to the holder of record on the record date as hereinbelow defined. Interest on the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series may be paid by checks to the order of the persons entitled thereto, mailed to their addresses as they appear on the registry books of the Company.

The definitive Bonds of the Second 1999 Series may be issued in the form of Bonds engraved, printed or lithographed on steel engraved borders.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture to the contrary, each Bond of the Second 1999 Series shall be dated the date of the authentication thereof by the Trustee, and shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from the interest payment date next preceding the date thereof to which interest has been paid on the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series, or if the date thereof is prior to May 16, 1980, then from December 1, 1979, or if the date thereof be an interest payment date to which interest is being paid or a date between the record date for any such an interest payment date and such interest payment date, then from such interest payment date; provided, however, that if there shall be an existing default in the payment of interest on Bonds of the Second 1999 Series then, unless moneys sufficient for the payment of interest on the next interest payment date shall have been deposited with the Trustee, Bonds authenticated between the record date

 

18


and payment date shall bear interest from the next preceding date to which interest has been paid on the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series, or if no interest has been paid, from December 1, 1979.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture to the contrary, the person in whose name any Bond of the Second 1999 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 Bond of the Second 1999 Series upon any transfer or exchange thereof (including any exchange incident to a partial redemption thereof) subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except that, if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, then the registered holders of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series on such record date shall have no further right to or claim in respect of such defaulted interest as such registered holders on such record date, and the persons entitled to receive payment of any defaulted interest thereafter payable or paid on any Bonds of the Second 1999 Series shall be the registered holders of such Bonds of the Second 1999 Series on the record date for payment of such defaulted interest. The term “record date” as used in this Section 1.01, and in the form of the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series, with respect to any interest payment date applicable to the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series, shall mean the close of business on the May 15 next preceding a June 1 interest payment date or the November 15 next preceding a December 1 interest payment date, as the case may be (or the preceding business day if a holiday or other day on which the office of the Trustee is closed), or such record date established for defaulted interest as hereinafter provided.

In case of failure by the Company to pay any interest when due the claim for such interest shall be deemed to have been transferred by transfer of any Bond of the Second 1999 Series registered on the books of the Company and the Company, by not less than 10 days written notice to bondholders, may fix a subsequent record date, not more than 30 days or less than five days prior to the date fixed for the payment of such interest, for determination of holders entitled to payment of such interest. Such provision for establishment of a subsequent record date, however, shall in no way affect the rights of bondholders or of the Trustee consequent on any default.

As permitted by the provisions of Section 3.10 of the Indenture and upon payment at the option of the Company of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any stamp tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section

 

19


3.11 of the Indenture, Bonds of the Second 1999 Series may be exchanged for other registered Bonds of the Second 1999 Series of different authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.11 of the Indenture, no further sum, other than the sum sufficient to reimburse the Company for such stamp taxes or other governmental charges, shall be required to be paid upon any exchange of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series or upon any transfer thereof.

The Trustee hereunder shall, by virtue of its office as such Trustee, be the registrar and transfer agent of the Company for the purpose of registering and transferring Bonds of the Second 1999 Series. Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to make transfers or exchanges of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series for a period of fifteen days next preceding any designation of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series to be redeemed and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to make transfers or exchanges of any bonds designated in whole for redemption or that part of any bond designated in part for redemption.

B. Form of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series. The Bonds of the Second 1999 Series, and the Trustee’s authentication certificate to be executed on the Bonds of said series, shall be in substantially the following forms, respectively:

together in any case with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, upon prior notice given by first class mail, postage prepaid, as provided in the Sixtieth Supplemental Indenture to holders of record of each bond affected not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days prior to the redemption date and subject to all other conditions and provisions of the Indenture.

If this bond or any portion hereof ($1,000 or any multiple thereof) is duly designated for redemption, if payment of the principal hereof or of such portion, together with accrued interest, and premium, if any, is irrevocably provided for, and if notice of such redemption shall have been duly given, this bond or such portion shall cease to be entitled to the lien of the Indenture from and after the date such payment is irrevocably so provided for and shall cease to bear interest from and after the date fixed for redemption.

In the event of the selection for redemption of a portion only of the principal of this bond, payment of the redemption price will be made at the option of the registered owner, either (a) upon presentation of this bond for notation hereon of such payment of the portion of the principal of this bond so called for redemption, or (b) upon surrender of this bond in exchange for a bond or bonds (of authorized denominations of the same series) for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of this bond. In the event of the redemption of this bond in whole, payment of the redemption price will be made only upon surrender of this bond.

The Indenture provides that (1) the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds per cent in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding (determined as provided in the Indenture) including, if more than one series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less than sixty-six and two-thirds per cent in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding of each series affected, may effect, by an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, further modifications or alterations of the Indenture and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such modification or alteration shall be made without the consent of the registered owner hereof which will (a) extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest hereon or reduce the amount of the principal hereof or reduce any premium payable on the redemption hereof, or (b) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the

 

25


Indenture, or alter the equal and proportionate security afforded by the lien of the Indenture for the bonds issued thereunder, or (c) reduce the number or percentage of the principal amount of the bonds upon the consent of the holders of which modifications or alterations may be made as aforesaid or defaults may be waived; and (2) the holders of like percentages of the principal amount of the bonds outstanding and of each such series thereof may waive certain uncured past defaults and the consequences thereof.

In certain events of default, the principal of this bond may be declared due and payable before maturity as provided in said Indenture.

This bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by his duly authorized attorney, on books of the Company kept for the purpose, at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee upon surrender of this bond for cancellation and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of a sum sufficient to reimburse the Company for any stamp tax or other governmental charge incident thereto, and thereupon a new registered bond of the same series of like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The registered owner of this bond at his option may surrender the same for cancellation at said office and receive in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of registered bonds of the same series but of other authorized denominations, upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of a sum sufficient to reimburse the Company for any stamp tax or other governmental charge incident thereto and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in said Indenture.

Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of this series for a period of fifteen days next preceding any designation of bonds of said series to be redeemed, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to make transfers or exchanges of any bonds designated in whole for redemption or that part of any bond designated in part for redemption.

The Sixtieth Supplemental Indenture provides that in the event of any default in payment of the interest due on any interest payment date, such interest shall not be payable to the holder of the bond on the original record date but shall be paid to the registered holder of such bond on the subsequent record date established for payment of such defaulted interest.

It is a part of the contract herein contained that each holder hereof waives all right of recourse to any personal, statutory or other liability of any

 

26


promoter, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation for the collection of any indebtedness hereunder as more fully provided in said Indenture.

(a) at the option of the Company, upon payment of the applicable percentage of the called principal amount thereof set forth under the heading “Regular Redemption Price” in the tabulation in the form of the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series set forth in Section 1.01 hereof; provided, however, that no redemption shall be made prior to December 1, 1984,

 

27


directly or indirectly as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation involving the incurring of indebtedness by the Company if such indebtedness has an effective interest cost to the Company (calculated after adjustment, in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, for any premium received or discount granted in connection with the indebtedness being incurred in such refunding operation) of less than the effective interest cost to the Company of the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series; or

(b) at the option of the Company, upon payment of the applicable percentage of the called principal amount thereof set forth under the heading “Regular Redemption Price” in the tabulation in the form of the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series set forth in Section 1.01 hereof through the application of cash deposited with the Trustee for the depreciation fund provided for in Section 1.04 hereof; or

(c) upon payment of the applicable percentage of the called principal amount thereof set forth under the heading “Special Redemption Price” in the tabulation in the form of the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series set forth in Section 1.01 hereof

(i) through the application of cash deposited with the Trustee for the sinking and improvement fund for the Bonds of said series provided for in Section 1.03 hereof, or

(ii) for use as a basis for credit, as provided in said Section 1.03, against the sinking and improvement fund payment for the Bonds of said series due not more than 12 months subsequent to the date fixed for such redemption, or

(iii) through the application of any trust moneys representing the proceeds of property taken, recaptured or sold in any transaction to which the provisions of Section 7.04 of the Indenture are applicable,

together in any case with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, upon not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days notice given by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the holder of record at the date of such notice of each Bond of the Second 1999 Series affected, at his address as shown on the Bond register. Such notice shall be sufficiently given if deposited in the United States mail within such period. Neither the

 

28


failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any holder, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders. The foregoing provision with respect to notice shall be subject to all other conditions and provisions of the Indenture not inconsistent herewith.

SECTION 1.03. Sinking and Improvement Fund for Bonds of the Second 1999 Series. As a sinking and improvement fund for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds of the Second 1999 Series, the Company covenants that it will, subject to the provisions in this Section hereinafter set forth, on or before November 30 in each year, beginning with November 30, 1985 and continuing to and including November 30, 1998, pay to the Trustee in cash an amount equal to the excess, if any, of $3,300,000 over the sum of the credits shown by the annual certificate hereinafter in this Section provided for.

The payments and the dates upon which payments are required for the sinking and improvement fund as above provided are in this Section 1.03 and in the annual certificate hereinafter provided for referred to as “mandatory sinking and improvement fund payments” and “sinking and improvement fund payment dates,” respectively.

The Company may, at its option, in addition to the mandatory sinking and improvement fund payments required by this Section 1.03, pay to the Trustee in cash on any sinking and improvement fund payment date an additional amount (an “optional sinking and improvement fund payment”) up to but not exceeding $3,300,000. The right to make any such optional sinking and improvement fund payment shall be non-cumulative so that the failure to exercise such right in any year, in whole or in part, shall not entitle the Company to increase the aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the Second 1999 Series which may be redeemed on any subsequent sinking and improvement fund payment date. The exercise by the Company of its option set forth in this paragraph shall not reduce or otherwise affect its obligation to make any mandatory sinking and improvement fund payment.

The Company shall file with the Trustee at least 45 days preceding any sinking and improvement fund payment date an officers’ certificate (herein referred to as an “annual sinking and improvement fund certificate”), substantially in the following form:
