Upon the notice and in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 3, the 2016B Bond shall be redeemable prior to the maturity thereof under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(a) In whole, at the option of the Company, if the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project or Units 3 or 4 of the Petersburg Generating Station shall have been damaged or destroyed (i) to such extent that it cannot be reasonably expected, in the opinion of the Company, to be restored within a period of six (6) months to the condition thereof immediately preceding such damage or destruction, or (ii) to such extent that the Company, in its reasonable opinion, is thereby prevented from carrying on its normal operations for a period of six (6) months or more, or (iii) to such extent that the restoration thereof would not be, taking into consideration the net proceeds of any insurance payable as a result of such damage or destruction, economic in the reasonable opinion of the Company.

(b) In whole, at the option of the Company, if title to, or the temporary use of, all or substantially all of the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project or Units 3 or 4 of the Petersburg Generating Station shall have been taken, under the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or should any governmental body or agency exercise any right which it may have to purchase or designate a purchaser of the same, or should such property be sold to any governmental body or agency so that the result of such taking or takings is that (i) the Company, in its reasonable opinion, is thereby prevented from carrying on its normal operations at any of the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project or Units 3 or 4 of the Petersburg Generating Station for a period of six (6) months or more, (ii) the restoration required as a result of the taking cannot be reasonably expected, in the opinion of the Company, to be completed in a period of six (6) months, or (iii) the restoration thereof, taking into consideration the net proceeds from such eminent domain award, would not be economic in the reasonable opinion of the Company.

(c) In whole, at the option of the Company, if, as a result of any changes in the constitution of the State of Indiana or the Constitution of the United States of America or of legislative or administrative action (whether state or federal) or by final decree, judgment or order of any court or administrative body (whether state or federal) entered after the contest thereof by the Company in good faith, the Loan Agreement shall, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, have become void or unenforceable or impossible of performance in accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed in the Loan Agreement; or unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, have been imposed upon the IFA or the Company, with respect to the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project or Units 3 or 4 of the Petersburg Generating Station or operation thereof, including without limitation federal, state or other ad valorem, property, income or other taxes not being imposed on the date of the Loan Agreement other than ad valorem taxes presently levied upon privately owned property used for the same general purpose as, the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project or Units 3 or 4 of the Petersburg Generating Station.

(d) In whole, at the option of the Company, if changes in the economic availability of raw materials, operating supplies or facilities necessary for the operation of the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project or Units 3 or 4 of the Petersburg Generating Station shall have occurred or technological or other changes shall have occurred which render the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project or Units 3 or 4 of the Petersburg Generating Station uneconomic for use in the reasonable opinion of the Company.

(e) In part, at the option of the Company, to the extent of net proceeds received from any condemnation award, taking or sale as stated herein, if title to, or the temporary use of any portion of the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project shall have been taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or should any governmental body or agency exercise any right it may have to purchase or designate a purchaser of the same, or should such property be sold to any governmental body or agency; provided the Company shall furnish to the IFA and the IFA Trustee a certificate of an Independent Engineer (as defined in the Loan Agreement) selected by the Company stating (i) that the property forming the part of the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project that was taken by such condemnation, taking or sale is not essential to the character or significance of the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project, or (ii) that the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project has been restored to a condition substantially equivalent to its condition prior to the taking by such condemnation, taking or sale proceedings, or (iii) that improvements have been acquired which are suitable for the operation of the Series 2009A Project or the Series 2009B Project as Pollution Control Facilities (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

(f) [Reserved].

(g) In the event all or substantially all of the mortgaged and pledged property under the Mortgage, or all or substantially all such property used in the business of generating, manufacturing, transporting, transmitting, distributing or supplying electricity, should be taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain, or should any governmental body or agency exercise any right which it may have to purchase or designate a purchaser of the same, or should such property be sold to any governmental body or agency, the Company shall be obligated to redeem the 2016B Bond outstanding as promptly as possible in accordance with paragraph B of Section 69 of the Original Mortgage.

(h) In the event that the Company is notified by the IFA Trustee that (i) an event of default under the IFA Indenture has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) the IFA Trustee has declared the principal of all the IFA 2009B Bonds then outstanding immediately due and payable pursuant to the IFA Indenture, the Company shall call for redemption, on a redemption date selected by it not later than forty-five (45) days following the date on which such notice is mailed, the 2016B Bond outstanding, and shall on such redemption date redeem the same; provided, however, that such requirement of redemption shall be deemed waived, if prior to the date fixed for such redemption of the 2016B Bond (x) such event of default is waived or cured as set forth in the IFA Indenture, or (y) there shall have occurred any completed default (as defined in the Mortgage) which affects any bond of any series outstanding under the Mortgage and which completed default has not been cured and made good prior to such redemption date, it being the intent of this proviso that, in lieu of such right to redemption, the holder of the 2016B Bond shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to the holders of bonds of any other series outstanding under the Mortgage in the event of such completed default; and in case of any subsequent occurrence or continuance of the events described in (i) and (ii) of this Section 3(h), the Company shall have the same obligation (subject to the same proviso) to redeem the 2016B Bond.

(i) In the event the IFA Trustee notifies the Company and the IFA that the interest payable on the IFA 2009B Bonds held by persons other than a “substantial user” or a “related person” as those terms are used in Section 147(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or a formal ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or by a written opinion of an attorney or firm of attorneys of nationally recognized standing on the subject of municipal bonds delivered at the request of the Company, to be no longer excludable from gross income for federal tax purposes to be subject to federal income taxation by reason of a breach by the Company of any covenant, agreement or representation in the Loan Agreement, the Company shall call the 2016B Bond then outstanding to be redeemed on an interest payment date within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that such requirement of redemption, whether in whole or in part shall be deemed waived if, prior to the date fixed for redemption of the 2016B Bond pursuant to this Section 3(i), there shall have occurred any completed default (as defined in the Mortgage) which affects any bond of any series outstanding under the Mortgage and which completed default has not been cured and made good prior to such redemption date, it being the intent of this proviso that, in lieu of such right to redemption, the holder of the 2016B Bond shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to the holders of bonds of any other series outstanding under the Mortgage in the event of such completed default; but when any such completed default shall have been cured and made good, if interest on the IFA 2009B Bonds shall still be taxable as described above, the Company shall have the same obligation (subject to the same proviso) to redeem the 2016B Bond on an interest payment date within one hundred eighty (180) days after the curing and making good of such completed default; provided further, that the Company may call for redemption such portion of the 2016B Bond, which in the written opinion of an attorney or firm of attorneys of nationally recognized standing on the subject of municipal bonds, would allow the IFA Trustee to redeem the IFA 2009B Bonds in part, which redemption would have the result that the interest payable on the IFA 2009B Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption in part would not be subject to federal income taxation in the hands of persons other than a “substantial user” or a “related person” as those terms are used in Section 147(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; provided further, however, that no such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the Internal Revenue Service will be considered final for this purpose unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it is so desired and is legally allowed, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of any owner of an IFA 2009 Series B Bond, and until the conclusion of any appellate review, if sought.

In case of redemption of 2016B Bond in whole for the purpose of prepayment under the Loan Agreement pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h) or (i) above, the amounts payable upon redemption of 2016B Bond shall be a sum sufficient, together with other funds deposited with the IFA Trustee and available for such purpose, to pay the principal of and interest on the 2016B Bond then outstanding and to pay all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of the IFA Trustee accrued and to accrue through final payment of the 2016B Bond.

In case of redemption in part pursuant to (e) or (i) above, the amount payable by the Company under this Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Loan Agreement and the 2016B Bond shall be a sum sufficient, together with other funds deposited with the Trustee and available for such purpose, to pay the principal of and interest on the 2016B Bond so to be redeemed, which sum together with other funds deposited with the IFA Trustee and available for such purpose shall be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the IFA 2009B Bonds and to pay all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of the IFA Trustee accrued and to accrue through such partial prepayment.

The 2016B Bond and the IFA 2009B Bonds shall be redeemable at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days following the event or events described as giving rise to an option of the Company to redeem them in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above.

To exercise any of the options granted to redeem the 2016B Bond in whole or in part or to comply with any obligations to redeem the 2016B Bond in whole or in part imposed in this Section 3, the Company shall give written notice of the date of redemption to the IFA Trustee, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days from the date the notice is mailed. No further notice, by publication or otherwise, shall be required for redemption of the 2016B Bond, and the requirements of Section 59 of the Mortgage for notice by newspaper publication shall not apply to the 2016B Bond.

At the option of the holder, the 2016B Bond, upon surrender thereof at the office or agency of the Company in Chicago, Illinois, together with a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Company duly executed by the holder or by his duly authorized attorney, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.

The 2016B Bond will be nontransferable except to the IFA Trustee and successors thereto, if any, and to the Company. To the extent that it is transferable, it is transferable by the registered holder thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at said office and upon presentation of a written instrument of transfer duly executed. Thereupon, the Company shall issue in the name of the transferee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new registered 2016B Bond or Bonds, in authorized denominations, of equal aggregate principal amount. Any such transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Mortgage and in this Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

The Company shall not be required to transfer or exchange the 2016B Bond for a period of ten (10) days next preceding any interest payment date of said bond.

Except as set forth herein, no charge shall be made upon any transfer or exchange of any of the 2016B Bond other than for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company.

The 2016B Bond shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) and shall be issued under the provisions of Article VI of the Original Mortgage.

INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

First Mortgage Bond, 4.90% Series B, Due 2016
Due January 1, 2016

This 2016B Bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issuable in series, and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 4.90% Series B, Due 2016 (herein called the “2016B Bond”) limited in aggregate principal amount to Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) and established by a Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 2009, all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking or other fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of May 1, 1940, executed by the Company to American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago (predecessor to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.), as the Trustee (which Mortgage and Deed of Trust as supplemented and modified by all supplemental indentures thereto is hereinafter referred to as the “Mortgage”), to which Mortgage reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the bearers or registered owners of the bonds in respect of such security, the duties and immunities of the Trustee and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured.

This 2016B Bond evidences and secures a loan made by the Indiana Finance Authority (the “IFA”) to the Company, pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2009, between the IFA and the Company (the “Loan Agreement”). In order to obtain funds for such loan, the IFA, contemporaneously with the issue of this 2016B Bond, will issue Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) principal amount of its Environmental Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2009B (Indianapolis Power & Light Company Project) (the “IFA 2009B Bonds”) under and pursuant to the Indenture of Trust between the IFA and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “IFA Trustee”), dated as of May 1, 2009 (the “IFA Indenture”). The IFA 2009B Bonds are payable from payments made by the Company of principal of and interest on this 2016B Bond and from moneys in the Bond Fund created under the IFA Indenture. The obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on this 2016B Bond shall be discharged to the extent that any moneys in said Bond Fund are available for payments on the IFA 2009B Bonds and are directed by the Company to be applied thereto, all as provided in the Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

This 2016B Bond is not subject to redemption, except as provided in Section 3 of the Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, to which reference is made for full description of redemption provisions.

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 of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and/or any instruments supplemental thereto may be modified or altered by affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two thirds per centum (66-2/3%) in principal amount of the bonds affected by such modification or alteration then outstanding under the Mortgage (excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company’s interest therein as provided in the Mortgage); provided that no such modification or alteration shall permit the extension of the maturity of the principal of this 2016B Bond or the reduction in the rate of interest hereon or any other modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest without the consent of the holder hereof. The principal hereof may be declared or may become due and payable prior to the stated date of maturity hereof, on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a completed default as in the Mortgage provided.

No reference herein to the Mortgage, and no provision of this 2016B Bond or of the Mortgage, shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, subject to the provisions of the Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on this 2016B Bond at the place, at the respective times and at the rate and the manner herein prescribed.

This 2016B Bond is issuable only in full registered form without coupons in denominations of Five Thousand Dollars and any larger denomination which is a whole multiple of Five Thousand Dollars.

This 2016B Bond will be nontransferable except to the IFA Trustee and successors thereto, if any, and to the Company. To the extent that it is transferable, it is transferable by the registered holder thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at said office and upon presentation of a written instrument of transfer duly executed. Thereupon, the Company shall issue in the name of the transferee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new registered 2016B Bond or Bonds, in authorized denominations, of equal aggregate principal amount. Any such transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Mortgage and in the Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

[End Of 2016B Bond Form]

SECTION 5. Until the 2016B Bond in definitive form is ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon its request in writing the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu thereof, a fully registered 2016B Bond in temporary form, as provided in Section 15 of the Original Mortgage.

SECTION 6. The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay to the holder of the 2016B Bond the principal thereof and interest on said bond at the dates and place and in the manner mentioned therein; provided, however, that:

(a) The obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on the 2016B Bond shall be discharged to the extent that any moneys in the Series 2009B Bond Fund within the Bond Fund (as defined in the IFA Indenture) created under and pursuant to the IFA Indenture are available for the payment of the principal of or interest on the IFA 2009B Bonds and are directed by the Company to be applied to the payment thereof in the manner provided in the IFA Indenture on or prior to the dates on which the Company is required to pay the principal of or interest on the 2016B Bond.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, the principal amount of any IFA Bond acquired by the Company and delivered to the IFA Trustee, or acquired by the IFA Trustee and cancelled, shall be credited against the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of the 2016B Bond.

As the principal of and interest on the 2016B Bond is paid or deemed paid in full, and upon its receipt by the Company, such bond shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company shall promptly inform the Trustee of all payments made and credits availed of with respect to its obligations on the 2016B Bond. The Trustee shall not be required to recognize any payment made or credit availed of with respect to any 2016B Bond unless it has received (a) the bond for cancellation by it, or (b) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the IFA Trustee specifying the amount of such payment or credit and the principal amount of the 2016B Bond with respect to which the payment or credit was applied. In the absence of receipt by the Trustee of any 2016B Bond, any such certificate shall be controlling and conclusive.

SECTION 7. The covenant of the Company to make annual payments to the Trustee for a Maintenance and Improvement Fund as contained in Section 41 of the Original Mortgage and in the first twenty-four Supplemental Indentures to the Original Mortgage creating the several series of First Mortgage Bonds presently outstanding under such Supplemental Indentures shall not apply to nor be for the benefit of the 2016B Bond, and the Company reserves the right, without any consent of, or other action by, the holder of the 2016B Bond, to amend, modify or delete the provisions of the Mortgage relating to such Maintenance and Improvement Fund and by acceptance of the 2016B Bond the holder thereof waives any right or privilege so to consent or take any other action with respect thereto.

SECTION 8. The Company Company covenants that, so long as the 2016B Bond shall remain outstanding, it will comply with all of the provisions of Section 47 of the Original Mortgage, including the provisions with respect to limitations on dividends and distributions and the purchase and redemption of stock.

SECTION 9. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts herein declared, provided and created and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein and in the Mortgage set forth and upon the following terms and conditions:

The recitals contained herein and in the bonds shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or adequacy of the security afforded hereby, or as to the validity of this Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture or of the 2016B Bond issued hereunder.

SECTION 10. Whenever in this Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall, subject to the provisions of Article XVII of the Original Mortgage, be deemed to include the successors or assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in this Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Trustee, shall, subject as aforesaid, bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of such parties, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11. Nothing in this Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to give to, any person, co-partnership 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 Fifty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof; and all the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Fifty-Sixth 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.
