ARTICLE II

THE TWENTY-FIFTH SERIES

Section 2.01 Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture, there shall be a series of bonds designated 3.00% Series due March 15, 2025 (herein sometimes referred to as the “Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond.” The form of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series (which shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $78,000,000) shall mature on March 15, 2025 and shall be issued only as fully registered bonds in denominations of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and in any integral multiple of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess thereof. Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall bear interest at the rate of three percent (3.00%) per annum (except as hereinafter provided), payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and at maturity or earlier redemption, the first interest payment to be made on September 15, 2020 for the period from the date of original issuance of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series to, but not including, September 15, 2020; unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner of any Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series registered in the name of such registered owner, the principal 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, New York, payable 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. Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner of any Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series registered in the name of such registered owner, interest on Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series may at the option of the Company be paid by check mailed to the registered owners thereof. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) overdue interest in respect of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall bear interest (before and after judgment) at the rate of four percent (4.00%) per annum. Interest on the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 thirty-day months. Interest on Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series in respect of a portion of a month shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed using a 30-day month. In any case where any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity of any Bond of the Twenty-fifth 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 amounts 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.

All references in the Indenture to the principal amount of bonds shall, when used with respect to the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, mean the unpaid principal amount thereof, except that, (a) for the purposes of transfers of fully registered bonds under Section 2.06 of the Original Indenture, the term “like principal amount” shall, when used with respect to the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, mean “like aggregate unpaid principal amount”, and (b) for the purposes of exchanges of temporary bonds under Section 2.08 of the Original Indenture, the term “like aggregate principal amount” shall, when used with respect to the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, mean “like aggregate unpaid principal amount.”

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 Twenty-fifth 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.

Section 2.02 Redemption of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series. (a) The Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice mailed not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time prior to December 15, 2024 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series) (the “Twenty-fifth Series Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount so redeemed, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the redemption date with respect to such principal amount. Each such notice shall specify such redemption date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series to be redeemed on such redemption date, the principal amount of each Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series held by such holder to be redeemed, and the interest to be paid on such redemption date with respect to such principal amount being redeemed, and shall set forth a calculation showing in reasonable detail the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such redemption (calculated as if the date of such notice were the redemption date). Not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to such redemption, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series a written calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified redemption date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Make-Whole Amount or to verify the Company’s determination thereof.

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

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, the principal of such Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series that is to be redeemed pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.02.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates (assuming that the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series is the Twenty-fifth Series Par Call Date) to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on a semiannual basis) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00

a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment (assuming that the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series is the Twenty-fifth Series Par Call Date).

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date (assuming that the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series is the Twenty-fifth Series Par Call Date), provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.02.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, the date on which such Called Principal is to be redeemed pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.02.

(b) The Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall also be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice prior to the date fixed

for redemption, at any time on or after the Twenty-fifth Series Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, such redemption date.

(c) Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall also be redeemable, at the option of the holders thereof, as provided in Section 3.04 of the First Supplemental Indenture, as heretofore and hereby amended. Any redemption under said Section 3.04, as amended, shall be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

(d) Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall also be redeemable as follows:

Should all or substantially all of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property be taken by the City of New Orleans or any instrumentality or designee thereof by the exercise of the power of eminent domain or taken by the exercise by the City of New Orleans or any instrumentality or designee thereof of the right to purchase or otherwise acquire the same, or should such Mortgaged and Pledged Property be voluntarily sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed to the City of New Orleans or such instrumentality or designee thereof, then, in any such event, the Company shall, upon the consummation of such taking, sale, transfer or other conveyance (in any case whether or not the Lien of the Indenture is released with respect to such Mortgaged and Pledged Property), immediately request the Trustee to take, and upon receipt of such request the Trustee shall take, all requisite action to prepare (in consultation with the Company) and to mail written notice thereof to each registered holder of any Outstanding Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series, at his or her last address appearing upon the registry books, such notice (hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.02(c) as the “Trustee’s Special Notice”), to state that it is given pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) of this Twenty-third Supplemental Indenture and that the holder of any Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series then Outstanding shall have the right to require the Company to redeem such Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, in whole or in part, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter in this Section 2.02(c) set forth.

Upon the mailing of the Trustee’s Special Notice, the holder of any Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series then Outstanding may, within forty-five (45) days from the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, give the Trustee written notice of such holder’s intent to have his or her Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series redeemed by the Company on the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, upon delivery and surrender of such Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series accompanied by such documentation as the Trustee or the Company may require. Unless on or prior to the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, such holder shall have, by further written notice to the Trustee, withdrawn or revoked such written notice of intent to have his or her Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series so redeemed, the Company shall, on the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, redeem any such Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series that are properly delivered and surrendered for that purpose at the special redemption price of 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

(e) In the case of each partial redemption of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this section, the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series to be redeemed shall be allocated by the Company among all of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for redemption.

(f) In the case of each notice of redemption of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this section, if cash sufficient to pay the principal amount to be redeemed on the Settlement Date (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any, is not paid as agreed upon by the Company and each registered owner of the affected Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, or, to the extent that there is no such agreement

entered into with one or more such owners, deposited with the Trustee on or before the Settlement Date, then such notice of redemption shall be of no effect. If such cash is so paid or deposited, such principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall be deemed paid for all purposes and interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. In case the Company pays any registered owner pursuant to an agreement with that registered owner, whether in the case of redemption or at maturity or otherwise, the Company shall notify the Trustee as promptly as practicable of such agreement and payment, and shall furnish the Trustee with a copy of such agreement and evidence of such payment, which may include a confirmation of wire transfer or other credit to an account designated by the registered owner, cancelled check or a receipt signed by the registered owner; in case the Company deposits any cash with the Trustee, the Company shall provide therewith a list of the registered owners and the amount of such cash each registered owner is to receive. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the information set forth in any such notice, evidence of payment, list or agreement, and shall not be chargeable with knowledge of any of the contents of any such agreement. Any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series redeemed in full shall be surrendered to the Company or the Trustee for cancellation on or before the Settlement Date (unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner) or, with respect to cash deposited with the Trustee, before payment of such cash by the Trustee; any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series redeemed in part shall be surrendered to the Company or the Trustee on or before the Settlement Date (unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner) or, with respect to cash deposited with the Trustee before payment of such cash by the Trustee, for a substitute bond in the principal amount remaining unpaid.

Section 2.03 Transfer and Exchange. (a) At the option of the registered owner, any Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series of other authorized denominations.

Bonds of the Twenty-fifth 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 or her duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York.

Upon any such exchange or transfer of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth 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 2.05 of the Original Indenture, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any such exchange or transfer of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series.

Section 2.04 Dating of Bonds and Interest Payments. (a) Each Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series shall be dated as of the date of authentication and shall bear interest from the last preceding interest payment date to which interest shall have been paid (unless the date of such bond is an interest payment date to which interest is paid, in which case from the date of such bond); provided that each Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series dated prior to September 15, 2020 shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof; and provided, further, that if any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series shall be authenticated and delivered upon a transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, any other Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series upon which interest is in default, it shall be dated so that such bond shall bear interest from the last preceding date to which interest shall have been paid on the bond or bonds in respect of which such bond shall have been delivered or from its date of original issuance, if no interest shall have been paid on the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series shall be dated so that the person in whose name any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on the interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such close of business and prior to such interest payment date, except if, and to the extent that,

the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. Any Bond of the Twenty-fifth Series issued upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to such close of business and prior to such interest payment date shall bear interest from such interest payment date. In the event there shall be more than one registered owner of Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series, then the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of said series for a period of fifteen (15) days immediately preceding any interest payment date of said series.

Section 2.05 Release of Company upon Conveyance or Other Transfer.

In case the Company, as permitted by Section 15.01 of the Original Indenture, shall convey or transfer, subject to the Lien of the Indenture, all or substantially all of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property as an entirety to a successor, the indenture described in Section 15.02 of the Original Indenture may also provide for the release and discharge of the Company from all obligations under any Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series issued under the Indenture which are assumed by such successor.

ARTICLE III

THE TWENTY-SIXTH SERIES

Section 3.01 Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture, there shall be a series of bonds designated 3.75% Series due March 15, 2040 (herein sometimes referred to as the “Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond.” The form of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series (which shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $62,000,000) shall mature on March 15, 2040 and shall be issued only as fully registered bonds in denominations of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and in any integral multiple of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess thereof. Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall bear interest at the rate of three and seventy-five one-hundredths percent (3.75%) per annum (except as hereinafter provided), payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and at maturity or earlier redemption, the first interest payment to be made on September 15, 2020 for the period from the date of original issuance of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series to, but not including, September 15, 2020; unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner of any Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series registered in the name of such registered owner, the principal 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, New York, payable 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. Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner of any Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series registered in the name of such registered owner, interest on Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series may at the option of the Company be paid by check mailed to the registered owners thereof. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) overdue interest in respect of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall bear interest (before and after judgment) at the rate of four and seventy-five one-hundredths percent (4.75%) per annum. Interest on the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 thirty-day months. Interest on Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series in respect of a portion of a month shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed using a 30-day month. In any case where any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity of any Bond of the Twenty-sixth 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 amounts 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.

All references in the Indenture to the principal amount of bonds shall, when used with respect to the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, mean the unpaid principal amount thereof, except that, (a) for the purposes of transfers of fully registered bonds under Section 2.06 of the Original Indenture, the term “like principal amount” shall, when used with respect to the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, mean “like aggregate unpaid principal amount”, and (b) for the purposes of exchanges of temporary bonds under Section 2.08 of the Original Indenture, the term “like aggregate principal amount” shall, when used with respect to the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, mean “like aggregate unpaid principal amount.”

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 Twenty-sixth 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.

Section 3.02 Redemption of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series. (a) The Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice mailed not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time prior to September 15, 2039 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series) (the “Twenty-sixth Series Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount so redeemed, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the redemption date with respect to such principal amount. Each such notice shall specify such redemption date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series to be redeemed on such redemption date, the principal amount of each Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series held by such holder to be redeemed, and the interest to be paid on such redemption date with respect to such principal amount being redeemed, and shall set forth a calculation showing in reasonable detail the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such redemption (calculated as if the date of such notice were the redemption date). Not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to such redemption, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series a written calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified redemption date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Make-Whole Amount or to verify the Company’s determination thereof.

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

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, the principal of such Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series that is to be redeemed pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3.02.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates (assuming that the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series is the Twenty-sixth Series Par Call Date) to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on a semiannual basis) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment (assuming that the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series is the Twenty-sixth Series Par Call Date).

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date (assuming that the maturity date of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series is the Twenty-sixth Series Par Call Date), provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3.02.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, the date on which such Called Principal is to be redeemed pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3.02.

(b) The Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall also be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice prior to the date fixed

for redemption, at any time on or after the Twenty-sixth Series Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, such redemption date.

(c) Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall also be redeemable, at the option of the holders thereof, as provided in Section 3.04 of the First Supplemental Indenture, as heretofore and hereby amended. Any redemption under said Section 3.04, as amended, shall be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

(d) Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall also be redeemable as follows:

Should all or substantially all of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property be taken by the City of New Orleans or any instrumentality or designee thereof by the exercise of the power of eminent domain or taken by the exercise by the City of New Orleans or any instrumentality or designee thereof of the right to purchase or otherwise acquire the same, or should such Mortgaged and Pledged Property be voluntarily sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed to the City of New Orleans or such instrumentality or designee thereof, then, in any such event, the Company shall, upon the consummation of such taking, sale, transfer or other conveyance (in any case whether or not the Lien of the Indenture is released with respect to such Mortgaged and Pledged Property), immediately request the Trustee to take, and upon receipt of such request the Trustee shall take, all requisite action to prepare (in consultation with the Company) and to mail written notice thereof to each registered holder of any Outstanding Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series, at his or her last address appearing upon the registry books, such notice (hereinafter referred to in this Section 3.02(c) as the “Trustee’s Special Notice”), to state that it is given pursuant to this Section 3.02(c) of this Twenty-third Supplemental Indenture and that the holder of any Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series then Outstanding shall have the right to require the Company to redeem such Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, in whole or in part, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter in this Section 3.02(c) set forth.

Upon the mailing of the Trustee’s Special Notice, the holder of any Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series then Outstanding may, within forty-five (45) days from the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, give the Trustee written notice of such holder’s intent to have his or her Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series redeemed by the Company on the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, upon delivery and surrender of such Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series accompanied by such documentation as the Trustee or the Company may require. Unless on or prior to the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, such holder shall have, by further written notice to the Trustee, withdrawn or revoked such written notice of intent to have his or her Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series so redeemed, the Company shall, on the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of the Trustee’s Special Notice, redeem any such Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series that are properly delivered and surrendered for that purpose at the special redemption price of 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

(e) In the case of each partial redemption of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this section, the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series to be redeemed shall be allocated by the Company among all of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for redemption.

(f) In the case of each notice of redemption of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this section, if cash sufficient to pay the principal amount to be redeemed on the Settlement Date (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any, is not paid as agreed upon by the Company and each registered owner of the affected Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, or, to the extent that there is no such agreement

entered into with one or more such owners, deposited with the Trustee on or before the Settlement Date, then such notice of redemption shall be of no effect. If such cash is so paid or deposited, such principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall be deemed paid for all purposes and interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. In case the Company pays any registered owner pursuant to an agreement with that registered owner, whether in the case of redemption or at maturity or otherwise, the Company shall notify the Trustee as promptly as practicable of such agreement and payment, and shall furnish the Trustee with a copy of such agreement and evidence of such payment, which may include a confirmation of wire transfer or other credit to an account designated by the registered owner, cancelled check or a receipt signed by the registered owner; in case the Company deposits any cash with the Trustee, the Company shall provide therewith a list of the registered owners and the amount of such cash each registered owner is to receive. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the information set forth in any such notice, evidence of payment, list or agreement, and shall not be chargeable with knowledge of any of the contents of any such agreement. Any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series redeemed in full shall be surrendered to the Company or the Trustee for cancellation on or before the Settlement Date (unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner) or, with respect to cash deposited with the Trustee, before payment of such cash by the Trustee; any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series redeemed in part shall be surrendered to the Company or the Trustee on or before the Settlement Date (unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner) or, with respect to cash deposited with the Trustee before payment of such cash by the Trustee, for a substitute bond in the principal amount remaining unpaid.

Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange. (a) At the option of the registered owner, any Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series of other authorized denominations.

Bonds of the Twenty-sixth 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 or her duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York.

Upon any such exchange or transfer of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth 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 2.05 of the Original Indenture, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any such exchange or transfer of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series.

Section 3.04 Dating of Bonds and Interest Payments. (a) Each Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series shall be dated as of the date of authentication and shall bear interest from the last preceding interest payment date to which interest shall have been paid (unless the date of such bond is an interest payment date to which interest is paid, in which case from the date of such bond); provided that each Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series dated prior to September 15, 2020 shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof; and provided, further, that if any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series shall be authenticated and delivered upon a transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, any other Bond or Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series upon which interest is in default, it shall be dated so that such bond shall bear interest from the last preceding date to which interest shall have been paid on the bond or bonds in respect of which such bond shall have been delivered or from its date of original issuance, if no interest shall have been paid on the Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series shall be dated so that the person in whose name any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on the interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof

subsequent to such close of business and prior to such interest payment date, except if, and to the extent that, the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. Any Bond of the Twenty-sixth Series issued upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to such close of business and prior to such interest payment date shall bear interest from such interest payment date. In the event there shall be more than one registered owner of Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series, then the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of said series for a period of fifteen (15) days immediately preceding any interest payment date of said series.

Section 3.05 Release of Company upon Conveyance or Other Transfer.

In case the Company, as permitted by Section 15.01 of the Original Indenture, shall convey or transfer, subject to the Lien of the Indenture, all or substantially all of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property as an entirety to a successor, the indenture described in Section 15.02 of the Original Indenture may also provide for the release and discharge of the Company from all obligations under any Bonds of the Twenty-sixth Series issued under the Indenture which are assumed by such successor.

OTHER PROVISIONS FOR RETIREMENT OF BONDS

Section 4.01 Exchange or Redemption upon Merger or Consolidation.

The interest so payable on any interest payment date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Mortgage hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in whose name this bond is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day immediately preceding such interest payment date. Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered owner of this bond, at the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed on or prior to such interest payment date to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the register of the Company.

This bond shall not become obligatory until The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Mortgage, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of authentication certificate endorsed hereon.

This bond is one of a series of bonds of the Company issuable in series and is one of a duly authorized series of First Mortgage Bonds, 3.00% Series due March 15, 2025 (herein called Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series), all bonds of all series issued under and equally secured by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein,

together with any indenture supplemental thereto including the Twenty-third Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2020, called the Mortgage), dated as of May 1, 1987, duly executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon (successor to Bank of Montreal Trust Company), as Trustee. Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the mortgaged and pledged property, assets and rights, the nature and extent of the lien and security, the respective rights, limitations of rights, covenants, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the holders of bonds and the Trustee and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are, and are to be, secured, the circumstances under which additional bonds may be issued and the definition of certain terms herein used, to all of which, by its acceptance of this bond, the holder of this bond agrees.

The Mortgage provides that in certain circumstances and upon certain conditions, such a declaration and its consequences or certain past defaults and the consequences thereof may be waived by such affirmative vote of holders of bonds as is specified in the Mortgage.

The Mortgage contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee to execute supplemental indentures amending the Mortgage for certain specified purposes without the consent of holders of bonds. With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or the rights of the holders of the Bonds of the Twenty-fifth Series and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage may be modified or altered by such affirmative vote or votes of the holders of bonds then Outstanding as are specified in the Mortgage.

Each holder of this bond, by its acquisition of an interest in this bond, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in (i) Article V, Sections 5.05 and 5.06 of the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2012 between the Original Company and the Trustee, and (ii) Article III, Sections 3.01 through 3.10 of the Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2017 between the Company and the Trustee, in each case without any other or further action by the holder of this bond, 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.

Any consent or waiver by the holder of this bond (unless effectively revoked as provided in the Mortgage) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this bond and of any bonds issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this bond or such other bond.

In case the Company, as permitted by the Mortgage, shall convey or transfer, subject to the lien of the Mortgage, all or substantially all of the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety to a successor, the Company may be released and discharged from all obligations under the bonds of this series which are assumed by such successor.

The bonds are issuable as registered bonds without coupons in the denominations of $100,000 and in any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in The City of New York, New York, and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage, bonds may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of other authorized denominations, without payment of any charge other than a sum sufficient to reimburse the Company for any tax or other governmental charge incident thereto. This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his or her duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, New York, upon surrender of this bond, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the transfer charges provided for in the Mortgage, and, thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof as provided in the Mortgage. 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 and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This bond is redeemable at the option of the Company under certain circumstances in the manner and at such redemption price as is provided in the Twenty-third Supplemental Indenture. This bond is also redeemable at the option of the owner upon the events, in the manner, and at such redemption prices as are specified in the Twenty-third Supplemental Indenture.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

As provided in the Mortgage, this bond shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Entergy New Orleans, LLC has caused this bond to be signed in its company name by its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or one of its Vice Presidents by his or her signature or a facsimile thereof, and its company seal to be impressed or imprinted hereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries by his or her signature or a facsimile thereof.
