ARTICLE I

 

AMOUNT, FORM, NUMBERING, DENOMINATION,

TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF

SERIES HH BONDS, DUE 2018

 

Section 1.01. The Series HH Bonds may be issued at any time or from time to time upon and subject to the terms and provisions of the Indenture. Unless and until the taking of further appropriate action by the Board of Directors of the Corporation the Series HH Bonds shall be without limitation as to aggregate authorized principal amount.

 

Section 1.02. The Series HH Bonds shall be issued only as fully registered bonds without coupons. In addition, the Series HH Bonds may be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more securities that evidences all or part of the bonds of such series which is issued to a depository or a nominee thereof for such series (a “Global Security”) and, in such case, the Board of Directors shall appoint a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), designated to act as depositary (a “depositary”) for such Global Securities.

 

5


Section 1.03. In the event the Series HH Bonds are issued as a Global Security the following provisions, in addition to the provisions of the Indenture, shall apply:

 

(a) Each Global Security authenticated under the Indenture shall be registered in the name of the depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single bond for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Supplemental Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for bonds registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such depositary has notified the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Security and a successor depositary has not been appointed by the Corporation within 90 days of receipt by the Corporation of such notification, (B) if at any time the depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the depositary is required to be so registered to act as such depositary and no successor depositary shall have been appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after it became aware of such cessation, (C) the Corporation, in its sole discretion, executes and delivers to the Trustee a written order signed in the name of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board, its President or a Vice President, and by its Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary to the effect that such Global Security, together with all other Global Securities of the same series, shall be exchangeable as described below, or (D) an Event of Default (as defined in Section 1.02 of the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Series HH Bonds. If any of the events described in clauses (A) through (D) of the preceding sentence occur, the beneficial owners of interests in the relevant Global Securities will be entitled to exchange those interests for definitive bonds and, without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which those interests may be so exchanged, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee definitive bonds in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Securities, such bonds to be duly executed by the Corporation. On or after the earliest date on which such beneficial interests may be so exchanged, such Global Securities shall be surrendered from time to time by the depositary as shall be specified in the order from the Corporation with respect thereto (which the Corporation agrees to deliver), and in accordance with any instructions given to the Trustee and the depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an officers’ certificate or be accompanied by an opinion of counsel), as shall be specified in the order from the Corporation with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Corporation’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive bonds as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive bonds of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such depositary or its custodian. If a definitive bond is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the place where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any regular record date for the date the interest is due (the “Interest Payment Date”) for such bond and before the opening of business at that place of payment on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any special record date for the

 

6


payment of interest for such bond and before the opening of business at such place of payment on the related proposed date for the payment of the interest which was not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”), as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such definitive bond, but shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

 

(c) Subject to Clause (b) above, any exchange or transfer of a Global Security for other bonds may be made in whole or in part, and all bonds issued in exchange for or upon transfer of a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

 

(d) Every bond authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such bond is registered in the name of a person other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

 

Section 1.04. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for the bonds evidenced thereby, every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN SUCH DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

 

Section 1.05. The fully registered bonds without coupons and the certificate of authentication to be endorsed on all Series HH Bonds shall be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A.

 

Section 1.06. The Series HH Bonds may contain or have imprinted thereon such provisions or specifications not inconsistent with the Indenture as may be required to comply with the rules of any stock exchange or any federal or state authority or commission, or to comply with usage with respect thereto, and may bear such other appropriate endorsements or notations as are authorized or permitted by the Indenture.

The definitive Series HH Bonds shall be numbered in such manner as the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time determine.

 

Section 1.08. In the manner and subject to certain conditions and limitations specified herein and in the Indenture, Series HH Bonds may be exchanged without a service charge for a like aggregate principal amount of such Series HH Bonds of other authorized denomination or denominations; provided that the Corporation may require payment of a sum or sums sufficient to reimburse it for any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Section 1.09. The Corporation shall maintain in the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, and in such other place or places as the Corporation may designate at any time or from time to time, an office or agency where Series HH Bonds may be presented for payment, registration, transfer and exchange as provided therein or in the Indenture. Such office or agency in the City and County of San Francisco shall be the corporate trust office of the Trustee unless and until the Corporation shall designate another office or agency by notice in writing delivered to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and when definitive bonds are issued, the Corporation shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York, State of New York, an office or agency where Series HH Bonds may be presented for payment, registration, transfer and exchange as provided therein or in the Indenture.

 

Section 1.10. No transfer or exchange of any Series HH Bonds pursuant to any of the provisions of this Article I shall be made except upon and in accordance with all of the applicable terms, provisions and conditions of said bonds and of the Indenture.

The bonds may be issued for various principal sums, and may be issued in series, which may mature at different times, may bear interest at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This bond in one of a series designated as the “First Mortgage Bonds, Series HH, due 2018” (herein called “Series HH” Bonds) of the Corporation, issued under and secured by the Indenture. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.

 

As provided in the Indenture, by any indenture or indentures supplemental thereto executed by the Corporation and the Trustee and consented to by the holders of not less than two-thirds ( 2/3) in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding, and, in case one or more, but less than all, of the series of bonds then outstanding are affected by such supplemental indenture, consented to by the holders of at least two-thirds ( 2/3) in principal amount of the bonds of each series so affected, the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto and the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the holders of bonds, may be modified or altered from time to time, as provided in the Indenture; provided, however, (a) that the right of any holder of any bond to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such bond, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such bond, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected by any such supplemental indenture without the consent of such holder, and (b) that no such modification or alteration shall reduce the proportions of bondholders’ consents required as aforesaid; such proportions to be determined in each case as provided in the Indenture.

 

The Series HH Bonds are entitled to the benefits of the Renewal Fund as provided in the Indenture.

 

All or a portion of the Series HH Bonds may be redeemed at the Corporation’s option at any time or from time to time.

 

The price at which the Series HH Bonds will be redeemed (the “Redemption Price”) on the date fixed for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”) will be equal to the greater of the following amounts: (a) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds being redeemed on the


Redemption Date; or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Series HH Bonds being redeemed on that Redemption Date (not including any portion of any payments of accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points, as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined below), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Series HH Bonds that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the registered holders of such Series HH Bonds as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

 

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Series HH Bonds to be 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 Series HH Bonds.

 

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, or (B) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Quotation.

 

Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) ABN AMRO Incorporated and Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. (or their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective 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 Corporation will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer(s); and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Corporation.

 

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Corporation, 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 Corporation by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

 

In the event of redemption of this bond in part only, a new bond or Series HH Bonds and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.


Notice of any such redemption will be mailed to the registered owners of the Series HH Bonds to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before the Redemption Date. Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Series HH Bonds called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. Upon the Corporation’s election to redeem all or a portion of the Series HH Bonds, that redemption will not be conditional upon receipt by the paying agent or the Trustee of monies sufficient to pay the Redemption Price.

 

In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all bonds then outstanding under the Indenture may be declared or become due and payable upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

This bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof at the office or agency of the Corporation in said City and County of San Francisco [if this bond is a definitive bond, insert: “, or at the office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York, State of New York, that the Corporation maintains for such purpose”] and in such other place or places as the Corporation may designate at any time or from time to time, and thereupon a new fully registered bond or bonds of said series, without coupons, of authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange for this bond; and at any of said offices or agencies fully registered Series HH Bonds without coupons, are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of other such fully registered bonds of authorized denominations; all in the manner and subject to the conditions as provided in the Indenture.

 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond or for any claim based hereon or on the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Corporation, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Corporation, or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability being waived and released by every registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.
