            Authorized Signature

 

(Text appearing on reverse side of bond or attached pages)

 

        This bond is one of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the Company, known as its First Mortgage Bonds, of the series and designation indicated on the face hereof, which issue of bonds consists, or may consist, of several series of varying denominations, dates and tenors, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except in so far as a sinking fund, or similar fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, may afford additional security for the bonds of any specific series) by a First Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein called the "Indenture") dated as of January 1, 1941, executed by the Company to First Wisconsin Trust Company (subsequently succeeded by Firstar Bank, National Association, herein called the Trustee), as Trustee, to which Indenture and all instruments supplemental thereto reference is hereby 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 as to such security, and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds may be issued under the Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto and are secured. The principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of a completed default as in the Indenture provided. This bond is one of a series created by a Supplemental Indenture (herein called the "Supplemental Indenture") dated as of August 1, 2001, between the Company and the Trustee, which is supplemental to the Indenture.

        The Senior Trustee has agreed pursuant to the Senior Indenture to hold the Bonds of this Series as collateral for the benefit of the holders of the Related Securities under all circumstances and not to transfer (except to a successor trustee) such Bonds until the earlier of the Release Date or the prior retirement of the Related Securities through redemption, repurchase or otherwise. "Release Date" means the date on which all First Mortgage Bonds of the Company issued and outstanding under the Indenture, other than the Bonds of this Series and other Bonds pledged as security for Securities issued under the Senior Indenture (collectively "Collateral Bonds"), have been retired (at, before or after the maturity thereof) through payment, redemption or otherwise, provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Senior Indenture. On the Release Date, the Senior Trustee shall deliver to the Company for cancellation all Collateral Bonds, and the Company shall cause the Senior Trustee to provide notice to all holders of Related Securities of the occurrence of the Release Date. As a result, on the Release Date, the Bonds of this Series shall cease to secure the Related Securities. Following the Release Date, the Company shall cause the Indenture to be discharged, and the Company shall not issue any additional Collateral Bonds thereunder, and from and after the Release Date, the Company's obligations in respect of the Collateral Bonds shall be satisfied and discharged.

        With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Indenture and/or any instruments supplemental thereto, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or of the holders of the bonds, and/or terms and provisions of the Indenture and/or of any instruments supplemental thereto may be modified or altered by consent of the holders of at least seventy percent (70%) in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding under the Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto (excluding bonds challenged and disqualified from voting by reason of the interest of the Company or of certain related persons therein as provided in the Indenture); provided that no such modification or alteration shall permit the extension of the maturity of the principal of this bond or the reduction in the rate of interest hereon or any other modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest or the taking of certain other action as more fully set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the holder hereof.

        The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and interest hereon and for all other purposes, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

        The bonds of this Series are subject to redemption, prior to maturity, at the option of the Company in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon payment of a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) plus two-tenths of one percent (.20%), plus in each case accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, all subject to the conditions and as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture.

        Notice of any such redemption shall be hand delivered or mailed not less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date to the registered owner of the bonds so to be redeemed, at its address as the same shall appear on the Company's books for registration and registration of transfer, all subject to the conditions and as more fully set forth in the Indenture and in the Supplemental Indenture, except that no newspaper publication shall be required.

        In the event that an event of default under Section 6.01 of the Senior Indenture has occurred and is continuing, and the Senior Trustee has declared the principal of all of the Related Securities then outstanding immediately due and payable (or such principal has become ipso facto immediately due and payable) under Section 6.02 of the Senior Indenture, then the Company shall call for redemption and redeem all of the bonds of this series then outstanding at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date. The redemption date shall be the accelerated maturity date of the Related Securities, and no prior notice of such redemption to the Trustee or the Senior Trustee shall be required.

        This bond is nontransferable except to the Senior Trustee and successor trustees thereto. To the extent that it is transferable, it is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, on books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the principal office of the Trustee at Cincinnati, Ohio, upon surrender hereof for cancellation at said office and upon presentation of a written instrument of transfer duly executed. Thereupon the Company shall issue in the name of the transferee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new registered bond or bonds without coupons of the same maturity and interest rate and of equal aggregate principal amount. Any such transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture.

        No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this bond, or any part thereof, or of any claim based hereon or in respect hereof or of the Indenture or any instrument supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, or through any such predecessor or successor corporation, or through any receiver or a trustee in bankruptcy, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as a part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released, as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Article I.

Form And Execution Of Bonds Of New Series

        SECTION 1.01. There is hereby created, for issuance under the Indenture on the date of authentication and delivery of the Related Securities, a series of bonds designated as Collateral Series B (herein sometimes referred to as the bonds of Collateral Series B), each of which shall bear the descriptive title "First Mortgage Bond, Collateral Series B". The bonds of said series shall be issued only in the form of registered bonds without coupons and shall be substantially of the tenor and purport, and in the form, hereinbefore recited. The bonds of said series shall mature on August 1, 2011, and shall be issued in any denominations that the Company may execute and deliver. The bonds of said series shall bear interest at the rate of six and one-eighth percent (6⅛%) per annum, payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year commencing February 1, 2002. Bonds of said series issued prior to February 1, 2002 shall be dated as of August 1, 2001 and bonds of said series issued on and after February 1, 2002 shall be dated as provided in Section 2.09 of the 1941 Mortgage. Principal and interest will be payable to the registered owner of the bonds of said series, and at the address thereof, appearing on the Company's books for registration and registration of transfer. Said bonds will be nontransferable except to the Senior Trustee and successors thereto, if any.

        SECTION 1.02. The aggregate principal amount of all bonds of Collateral Series B which may at any time be certified, issued and outstanding shall be limited to $150,000,000, and bonds of said series may be executed, authenticated, delivered and issued hereunder from time to time subject to the restrictions and provisions contained in this Supplemental Indenture and in the 1941 Mortgage.

        SECTION 1.03. The bonds of Collateral Series B are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield (as hereinafter defined) plus two-tenths of one percent (.20%), plus in each case accrued interest to the date of redemption. The redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee on or before the redemption date.

        "Treasury Yield" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

        "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the bonds of Collateral Series B that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the bonds of Collateral Series B. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

        "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Referenced Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

        "Reference Treasury Dealer" means any primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer") selected by the Company.

        SECTION 1.04. In the event that the Company shall desire to exercise its right to redeem and pay all or any part of the bonds of Collateral Series B pursuant to Section 1.03, it shall, except as modified herein, comply with the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture with regard to the redemption of bonds of any series secured thereby, and such redemption shall be made under and subject to the terms and provisions of said Article XI and in the manner and with the effect stated therein; provided, however, (a) the Company shall specify, in accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, those bonds of Collateral Series B which are to be redeemed if only a part thereof are to be redeemed, and payments in redemption of bonds of Collateral Series B shall be made directly by the Company to the registered owners of the bonds entitled thereto; and (b) the provisions of Section 11.03(b) of the 1941 Mortgage shall not be applicable to any such redemption. The Company shall not exercise any option to redeem on any date all or any part of the bonds of Collateral Series B unless it shall give a valid direction under the Senior Indenture for the redemption on such date of an equal amount of Related Securities. Notice of each such redemption shall be hand delivered or mailed, by certified mail, with return receipt requested, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner of the bonds which are to be redeemed at its address appearing on the Company's books for registration and registration of transfer. Such delivery or mailing (but not the receipt thereof or the return of the receipt so requested) shall be a condition to the redemption of the bonds. All bonds so redeemed shall forthwith be delivered to the Trustee and cancelled, but only when the principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest thereon is paid in full. The Trustee, when required to select bonds of Collateral Series B for redemption, shall promptly notify the Company, and the Company, when selecting bonds of Collateral Series B for redemption, shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing of the distinctive numbers of the bonds selected for redemption in whole or in part. For the purpose only of complying with the Indenture (particularly Section 11.02 thereof) in connection with the redemption of bonds of Collateral Series B, for each $1,000 principal amount of bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder there shall be assigned a number in such manner and at such time as the Trustee or the Company shall deem appropriate.

        SECTION 1.05. The Company shall call for redemption all of the bonds of the Collateral Series B then outstanding, and shall on the redemption date therefor redeem the same at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the redemption date, in the event that an event of default has occurred and is continuing under Section 6.01 of the Senior Indenture, and the Senior Trustee has declared the principal of all Related Securities then outstanding immediately due and payable (or such principal has become ipso facto immediately due and payable) pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Senior Indenture. The redemption date shall be the accelerated maturity date of the Related Securities; provided, however, that such requirement of redemption shall be deemed to be waived if prior to the date fixed for such redemption of the bonds of Collateral Series B, the acceleration of the Related Securities is waived or annulled. Any provision of Article XI of the Indenture notwithstanding, no prior notice of such redemption of the bonds of Collateral Series B to the Trustee or the Senior Trustee shall be required.

        SECTION 1.06. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.04, Bonds of Collateral Series B may be redeemed in part, but the portion of any such bond so redeemed in part shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) or an integral multiple thereof. In case any bond shall be redeemed in part only, payment of the redemption price of such portion of the bond of Collateral Series B shall be made by the Company (or Trustee, as the case may be) to the registered owner thereof, at its address appearing on the Company's books for registration and registration of transfer of bonds of Collateral Series B without presentation or surrender thereof, provided there is on file with the Company and Trustee (and not theretofore rescinded by written notice from such registered owner to the Company and Trustee) a written commitment from such registered owner to the effect that (1) payments will be so made, and (2) such registered owner will make notations on such bond or a paper attached thereto of the portion thereof so redeemed. Prior to any transfer by the registered owner of any bond of Collateral Series B, the same shall be surrendered to the Company or Trustee for appropriate notation thereon of, or in exchange for a new bond or bonds for, the unredeemed balance of the principal amount thereof. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that any of the notations mentioned herein have been made or be liable in any manner with respect thereto.

        SECTION 1.07. The Company shall not be obligated to make any transfer of bonds of Collateral Series B for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days next preceding any interest payment date, or next preceding any selection by lot of bonds to be redeemed. The Company shall not be obligated to make transfers of any bonds called or being called for redemption.

        SECTION 1.08. No charge shall be made to any registered owner of any bond of Collateral Series B for any transfer of bonds of said series except for any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection therewith.
