Section 2 – Financial Information.
Item 2.03(a). Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.

On June 9, 2005, Exelon Corporation (Exelon) issued and sold $1,700,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (Senior Notes) under the indenture, dated as of May 1, 2001 (Indenture), between Exelon and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (formerly known as Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and related Terms Agreement, dated June 6, 2005, among Exelon and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, on behalf of themselves, Banc of America Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and as the Representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A to the Terms Agreement. The Senior Notes were sold pursuant to an effective registration statement of Exelon. A Prospectus Supplement (to Prospectus dated February 10, 2004) dated June 6, 2005 (Prospectus) relating to the sale of the Senior Notes was filed under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(5) (Registration No. 333-108546) on June 7, 2005.

Aggregate net proceeds to Exelon from the issue and sale of the Senior Notes were $1,685,213,000 after underwriting discounts, but before expenses. The net proceeds were used to repay the approximately $1,500,000,000 in remaining principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on term loan borrowings made pursuant to the $2,000,000,000 Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2005, among Exelon, Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent, Citicorp Global Markets, Inc., as Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, and the lenders thereunder. The remainder of the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes was applied to pay a portion of the $500,000,000 of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on term loan borrowings made pursuant to the $500,00,000 Term Loan Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2005, among Exelon, Dresdner Bank AG, New York and Grand Cayman Branches, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders thereunder.

The Senior Notes were issued and sold in the following amounts and in the following three series and bear interest at the following interest rates, respectively:

$400,000,000 4.45% Senior Notes due 2010,
$800,000,000 4.90% Senior Notes due 2015, and
$500,000,000 5.625% Senior Notes due 2035.

Interest will accrue on the Senior Notes from June 9, 2005 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest is payable twice a year to holders of record at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date. Interest payment dates will be June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on December 15, 2005.

The 4.45% Senior Notes due 2010 will mature on June 15, 2010. The 4.90% Senior Notes due 2015 will mature on June 15, 2015. The 5.625% Senior Notes due 2035 will mature on June 15, 2035.

Exelon may redeem any series of the Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

  (a)   100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes of the series being redeemed; or
 
  (b)   the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus, as applicable, 15 basis points (in the case of the 4.45% Senior Notes due 2010), 20 basis points (in the case of the 4.90% Senior Notes due 2015) and 25 basis points (in the case of the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2035),

      plus accrued interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes of the series being redeemed 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 such notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined below) appointed by the trustee after consultation with Exelon.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, their respective successors, and two other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in The City of New York (Primary Treasury Dealer) selected by Exelon. If any Reference Treasury Dealer shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, Exelon will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer for that dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, 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 trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York City time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) 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.

Redemption of the Senior Notes of one series may be made without the redemption of the Senior Notes of any other series.

Exelon will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed.

Unless Exelon defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Senior Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

The following are modifications of and additions to the Events of Default and covenants with respect to the Senior Notes:

Additional Covenants: For so long as any Senior Notes remain outstanding, Exelon will not create or incur or allow any of its subsidiaries to create or incur any pledge or security interest on (1) any of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, PECO Energy Company (“PECO”), Commonwealth Edison Company (“ComEd”) or Exelon Generation Company, LLC (“Exelon Generation”) and (2) any of the capital stock of, or

 


Table of Contents

other equity interests in, Exelon’s subsidiaries which directly hold the capital stock of or other equity interests in PECO, ComEd or Exelon Generation, in each case held by the Company or one of its subsidiaries on the issue date of the Senior Notes.

Additional Events of Default: In addition to the Events of Default described in the Indenture, an Event of Default under the Senior Notes will include Exelon’s failure to pay principal at maturity or acceleration following a default in an aggregate amount of $50 million or more with respect to any of Exelon’s Indebtedness (as defined below), or the acceleration of any of Exelon’s Indebtedness aggregating $50 million or more which default is not cured, waived or postponed pursuant to an agreement with the holders of the Indebtedness within 30 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture, or the acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 30 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture.

As used in the immediately preceding paragraph, “Indebtedness” means the following obligations of Exelon:

  •   all obligations for borrowed money;
 
  •   all obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments, or upon which interest payments are customarily made;
 
  •   all obligations under conditional sale or other title retention agreements relating to property purchased by Exelon to the extent of the value of the property (other than customary reservations or retentions of title under agreement with suppliers entered into by Exelon in the ordinary course of business); and
 
  •   all obligations issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services purchased by Exelon which would appear as liabilities on Exelon’s balance sheet.

Reference is made to the Prospectus, the Indenture and the forms of the Senior Notes attached as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 for additional covenants, events of default and other terms and conditions of the Senior Notes.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount up to and including $400,000,000.

     The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus accrued interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed 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 such Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the security register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested in writing by the Holder surrendering the same.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2001 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (formerly known as Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee (herein called the Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, including the Officer’s Certificate, dated as of June 9, 2005, delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.4(3) and 10.5 of the Indenture and setting forth additional terms of this Note, for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount up to and including $800,000,000.

     The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed 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 such Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined below) appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Issuer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, their respective successors, and two other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), selected by the Issuer. If any Reference Treasury Dealer shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuer will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer for that dealer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) 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.

     The Issuer will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.

     Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the security register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested in writing by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer and notice to the Trustee thereof the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

[Reverse of Note]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2001 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (formerly known as Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee (herein called the Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, including the Officer’s Certificate, dated as of June 9, 2005, delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.4(3) and 10.5 of the Indenture and setting forth additional terms of this Note, for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount up to and including $500,000,000.

     The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points, plus accrued interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed 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 such Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined below) appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Issuer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, their respective successors, and two other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), selected by the Issuer. If any Reference Treasury Dealer shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuer will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer for that dealer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) 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.

     The Issuer will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.

     Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the security register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested in writing by the Holder surrendering the same.
