The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustees and their successors in said trust under the Mortgage, as follows:

ARTICLE 1

SIXTY-EIGHTH SERIES OF BONDS

    SECTIION 1.  There shall be a series of bonds designated "5% Series due July 1, 2018" (herein sometimes called the "Sixty-eighth 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 Sixty-eighth Series (which shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $115,000,000) shall mature on July 1, 2018, shall be issued as fully registered bonds in the denomination of One Thousand Dollars and, at the option of the Company, in any multiple or multiples of One Thousand Dollars (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof), shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum, the first interest payment to be made on January 1, 2004, for the period from June 25, 2003 to January 1, 2004 with subsequent interest payments payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"), shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, and the principal of and interest on each said bond shall 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 Sixty-eighth 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 Sixty-eighth Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal 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 Corporate Trustee is closed for business.

Interest on the bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name such bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series are registered at the close of business on the record date for the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the respective meanings specified unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

The term "Adjusted Treasury Rate" shall mean, with respect to any redemption date:

(1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after July 1, 2018, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or

(2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date for the Adjusted Treasury Rate or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using 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 Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

The term "Comparable Treasury Issue" shall mean the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to July 1, 2008 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 July 1, 2008.

The term "Comparable Treasury Price" shall mean, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

The term "Independent Investment Banker" shall mean one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time, or, if any of such firms is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

The term "Reference Treasury Dealer" shall mean (i) Wachovia Securities, LLC and its successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company.

The term "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" shall mean, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, 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 Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

(IV) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Sixty-eighth 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 same series of other authorized denominations.

Bonds of the Sixty-eighth 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 Sixty-eighth 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 Sixty-first 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 Sixty-eighth Series for the aggregate principal amount of $115,000,000.

ARTICLE II

DIVIDEND COVENANT

    SECTION 2.  The Company covenants that, so long as any of the bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series are Outstanding, it will not declare any dividends on its Common Stock (other than (a) a dividend payable solely in shares of its Common Stock, or (b) a dividend payable in cash in cases where, concurrently with the payment of such dividend, an amount in cash equal to such dividend is received by the Company as a capital contribution or as the proceeds of the issue and sale of shares of its Common Stock) or make any distribution on outstanding shares of its Common Stock or purchase or otherwise acquire for value any outstanding shares of its Common Stock (otherwise than in exchange for or out of the proceeds from the sale of other shares of its Common Stock) if, after such dividend, distribution, purchase or acquisition, the aggregate amount of such dividends, distributions, purchases and acquisitions paid or made subsequent to May 31, 2003 (other than any dividend declared by the Company on or before May 31, 2003) exceeds (without giving effect to (i) any of such dividends, distributions, purchases or acquisitions, or (ii) any net transfers from retained earnings to stated capital accounts) the sum of (a) the aggregate amount credited subsequent to May 31, 2003 to retained earnings, (b) $350,000,000 and (c) such additional amount as shall be authorized or approved, upon application by the Company, by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or by any successor commission thereto, under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

For the purposes of this Section 2 the aggregate amount credited subsequent to May 31, 2003 to retained earnings shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices after making provision for dividends upon any preferred stock of the Company, accumulated subsequent to such date, but in such determination there shall not be considered charges to retained earnings applicable to the period prior to May 31, 2003, including, but not limited to, charges to retained earnings for write-offs or write-downs of book values of assets owned by the Company on May 31, 2003.

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.

    SECTION 6.  Whenever in this Sixty-first 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 the covenants and agreements in this Sixty-first Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Trustees, or any of them, 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.     SECTION 7.  Nothing in this Sixty-first Supplemental Indenture, expressed or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the bonds and coupons Outstanding under the Mortgage, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Sixty-first Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof, and all the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises or agreements in this Sixty-first Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, and of the holders of the bonds and of the coupons Outstanding under the Mortgage.     SECTION 8.  This Sixty-first Supplemental Indenture shall be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.     SECTION 9.  This Sixty-first Supplemental Indenture shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
