ARTICLE I

THE NEW SERIES BONDS

A. CREATION OF FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, FLOATING RATE SERIES DUE 2073

Section 1. The Company hereby creates a new series of bonds, not limited in principal amount except as provided in the Original Indenture, to be issued under and secured by the Original Indenture, to be designated by the title “First Mortgage Bonds, Floating Rate Series due 2073.” The initial issue of the 2073 Bonds shall consist of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) principal amount thereof. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the principal amount of the 2073 Bonds is unlimited. The Company may, at its option in the future, issue additional 2073 Bonds.

The 2073 Bonds shall be issued only as registered bonds without coupons in the minimum denominations of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and integral multiples thereof.

Section 2. Definitions. The following defined terms used herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below. Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Indenture.

“Benchmark” means, initially, Compounded SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR (or the published SOFR Index used in the calculation thereof) or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company (or its Designee) as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)            the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2)            the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

(3)            the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company (or its Designee) as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for United States dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company (or its Designee) as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)            the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2)            if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; and

(3)            the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company (or its Designee) giving due consideration to any industry accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for United States dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time.

The Benchmark Replacement Adjustment shall not include the Margin and such Margin shall be applied to the Benchmark Replacement to determine the interest payable on the 2073 Bonds.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition or interpretation of “interest period”, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenor, and other administrative matters), or any other changes to any other terms or provisions of the 2073 Bonds, in each case that the Company (or its Designee) decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company (or its Designee) decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company (or its Designee) determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company (or its Designee) determines is reasonably necessary or practicable).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)            in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2)            in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

(1)            a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component);

(2)            a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component), the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark (or such component), an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or

(3)            a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

“business day” is any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in New York City are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

“Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon, or its successor appointed by the Company, acting as calculation agent.

“Compounded SOFR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following formula (and the resulting percentage will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point):

where:

“SOFR Index_Start” = For periods other than the initial Interest Period, the SOFR Index value on the preceding Interest Payment Determination Date, and, for the initial Interest Period, the SOFR Index value two United States Government Securities Business Days before the initial issue date;

(c)            (1) If at any time the Depositary for a 2073 Global Bond notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as the Depositary for such 2073 Global Bond or if at any time the Depositary for a 2073 Global Bond ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such 2073 Global Bond.

(3)            If at any time a completed default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2073 Bonds and beneficial owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2073 Bonds represented by 2073 Global Bonds advise the Depositary to cease acting as the Depositary, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company order for the authentication and delivery of 2073 Bonds in the form of definitive certificates in exchange for such 2073 Global Bond, will authenticate and deliver, without service charge, 2073 Bonds in the form of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the 2073 Global Bond in exchange for such 2073 Global Bond. Such 2073 Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of such person or persons as are specified by the Depositary.

Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a 2073 Global Bond for 2073 Bonds in the form of definitive certificates, such 2073 Global Bond shall be canceled by the Trustee. Except as provided in the immediately preceding subparagraph, 2073 Bonds issued in exchange for a 2073 Global Bond pursuant to Subsection A.3 of this Article I shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such 2073 Global Bond, acting pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Provided that the Company and the Trustee have so agreed, the Trustee shall deliver such 2073 Bonds to the persons in whose names the 2073 Bonds are so to be registered.

(5)            Any endorsement of a 2073 Global Bond to reflect the principal amount thereof, or any increase or decrease in such principal amount, shall be made in such manner and by such person or persons as shall be specified in or pursuant to any applicable letter of representations or other arrangement entered into with, or procedures of, the Depositary with respect to such 2073 Global Bond or in the Company order delivered or to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Original Indenture with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.07 of the Original Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any such 2073 Global Bond in the manner and upon instructions given by the person or persons specified in or pursuant to any applicable letter of representations or other arrangement entered into with, or procedures of, the Depositary with respect to such 2073 Global Bond or in any applicable Company order. If a Company order pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Original Indenture is so delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to such 2073 Global Bond contained therein shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an officers’ certificate and need not be accompanied by an opinion of counsel.

(6)            The Depositary or, if there be one, its nominee, shall be the holder of a 2073 Global Bond for all purposes under the Indenture and the 2073 Bonds and beneficial owners with respect to such 2073 Global Bond shall hold their interests pursuant to applicable procedures of such Depositary. The Company, the Trustee and any bond registrar shall be entitled to deal with such Depositary for all purposes of the Indenture relating to such 2073 Global Bond (including the payment of principal, the 2073 Bonds Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the beneficial owners of such 2073 Global Bond as the sole holder of such 2073 Global Bond and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof (including any direct or indirect participants in such Depositary)). None of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or bond registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a beneficial owner in or pursuant to any applicable letter of representations or other arrangement entered into with, or procedures of, the Depositary with respect to such 2073 Global Bond or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 4. (a)     September 29, 2023, shall be the date of the beginning of the first interest period for the 2073 Bonds. The first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2024. The 2073 Bonds shall be dated as provided in Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture. The 2073 Bonds shall be payable on October 15, 2073 in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and shall bear interest, payable in like coin or currency, for each quarterly Interest Period at an annual rate equal to Compounded SOFR, determined as described below, minus 0.35% (negative 0.35%, the “Margin”) to the person(s) in whose name(s) the 2073 Bonds are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the applicable Interest Payment Date, in each case, subject to certain exceptions provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture, until the Stated Maturity, according to the terms of the bonds or on prior redemption or repayment or by declaration or otherwise, and at the highest rate of interest borne by any of the bonds outstanding under the Indenture from such date of maturity until they shall be paid or payment thereof shall have been duly provided for.

On each Interest Payment Determination Date relating to the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the amount of accrued interest payable on the 2073 Bonds by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the 2073 Bonds by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in such Observation Period divided by 360. In no event will the interest on the 2073 Bonds be less than zero. The interest rate for any Interest Period will not be adjusted for any modifications or amendments to the SOFR Index or SOFR data that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may publish after the interest rate for that Interest Period has been determined.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any transaction documents relating to the 2073 Bonds, if the Company (or its Designee) determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to determining Compounded SOFR, then the Company shall promptly notify the Calculation Agent and the benchmark replacement provisions set forth in Subsection A.4.c hereof will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the 2073 Bonds.

For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for each Interest Period on the 2073 Bonds will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the Margin.

Absent willful misconduct, bad faith or manifest error, the calculation of the applicable interest rate for each Interest Period by the Calculation Agent, or in certain circumstances described herein, by the Company (or its Designee), will be final and binding on the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the 2073 Bonds.

Principal of, and interest on, the 2073 Bonds and the Redemption Price, Special Redemption Price or Repayment Price, if applicable, shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made, at the option of the Company, by check mailed by the Company or its affiliate to the person entitled thereto at his registered address. If a due date for the payment of interest, principal or the Redemption Price, Special Redemption Price or Repayment Price, if applicable, falls on a day that is not a business day, then the payment will be made on the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue on the amounts payable for the period from and after the original due date and until the next business day. The term “business day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or day on which banking institutions or trust companies in The City of New York are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

(b)            SOFR Index Unavailable Provisions. If a SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the associated Interest Payment Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR” means, for the applicable Interest Period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator's Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-repo-reference-rates-information. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days” shall be removed. If SOFR does not so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for· such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding United States Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator's Website.

(i)            Benchmark Replacement. If the Company (or its Designee) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the 2073 Bonds in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(ii)          Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company (or its Designee) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

(iii)        Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company (or its Designee) pursuant to this Subsection A.4,including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in the Company's (or its Designee's) sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any documentation relating to the 2073 Bonds, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the 2073 Bonds or any other party. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent will have any obligation (w) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR, the SOFR Index or any applicable Benchmark, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (x) to select, determine or designate any alternative method, Benchmark Replacement or alternative index, or other successor or replacement alternative index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been satisfied, (y) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (z) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to such alternative method, Benchmark Replacement or alternative index are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

(d)            Redemption at the Company’s Option. On or after October 15, 2053, the Company may redeem the 2073 Bonds at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the following redemption prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), if redeemed during the twelve-month periods beginning on October 15 as set forth below:

Twelve-month period beginning on	Redemption price
October 15, 2053		105.00	%
October 15, 2054		104.50	%
October 15, 2055		104.00	%
October 15, 2056		103.50	%
October 15, 2057		103.00	%
October 15, 2058		102.50	%

October 15, 2063		100.00	%

and thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date.

So long as the 2073 Bonds are registered in the name of DTC, its nominee or a successor depositary, if the Company elects to redeem less than all of the 2073 Bonds, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in the 2073 Bonds to be redeemed. At all other times, the Trustee shall draw by lot the particular 2073 Bonds, or portions of them, to be redeemed.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article VIII of the Original Indenture, any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 4(d) hereof may state that the redemption will be conditional upon the Trustee receiving sufficient funds to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2073 Bonds to be redeemed on the redemption date and that if the Trustee does not receive such funds, the redemption notice will not apply, and the Company will not be required to redeem such 2073 Bonds. In the event of any such redemption, the Company will notify the Trustee of its election at least 15 days prior to the redemption date. The Company will provide the Trustee a reasonably detailed computation of the Redemption Price with such notice (or, if not then known, the manner of calculation, with the actual computation provided by the Company to the Trustee promptly following its computation).

Any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 4(d) hereof shall be delivered or given not less than 10 nor more than 90 days prior to the redemption date to the holders of the 2073 Bonds to be redeemed (which, as long as the 2073 Bonds are held in the book-entry only system, will be the Depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary). If the redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue from and after the redemption date on all or such portions of the 2073 Bonds so called for redemption.

(e)            Special Redemption. The 2073 Bonds shall also be redeemable, as a whole but not in part, at 125% of the principal amount of the 2073 Bonds (the “Special Redemption Price”) in the event that (i) all the outstanding common stock of the Company shall be acquired by some governmental body or instrumentality and the Company elects to redeem all of the bonds of all series, the redemption date in any such event to be not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which all said stock is so acquired, or (ii) all, or substantially all, the mortgaged and pledged property constituting bondable property which at the time shall be subject to the lien of the Indenture as a first lien shall be released from the lien of the Indenture pursuant to the provisions thereof, and available moneys in the hands of the Trustee, including any moneys deposited by the Company available for the purpose, are sufficient to redeem all the bonds of all series at the redemption prices (together with accrued interest to the date of redemption) specified therein applicable to the redemption thereof upon the happening of such event.

In the event of any redemption pursuant to this Section 4(e) hereof, the Company has agreed that before any such redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee a sum of money equal to the Special Redemption Price.

Any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 4(e) hereof shall be delivered or given not less than 30 nor more than 90 days prior to the redemption date to the holders of 2073 Bonds to be redeemed (which, as long as the 2073 Bonds are held in the book-entry only system, will be the Depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary). If the redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue from and after the redemption date on all or such portions of the 2073 Bonds so called for redemption. In the event of any such redemption, the Company will notify the Trustee of its election at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or a shorter period acceptable to the Trustee). The Company will provide the Trustee a reasonably detailed computation of the Special Redemption Price with such notice (or, if not then known, the manner of calculation, with the actual computation provided by the Company to the Trustee promptly following its computation).

(f)            Repayment at Option of a Holder. The 2073 Bonds will be repayable at the option of a holder of the 2073 Bonds, in whole or in part, upon notice as described below, on the following dates (each a “Repayment Date”) and at the repayment prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) as set forth below:

Repayment date	Repayment price
October 15, 2024		98.00	%
April 15, 2025		98.00	%
October 15, 2025		98.00	%
April 15, 2026		98.00	%
October 15, 2026		98.00	%
April 15, 2027		98.00	%

October 15, 2030		99.00	%
April 15, 2031		99.00	%
October 15, 2031		99.00	%
April 15, 2032		99.00	%
October 15, 2032		99.00	%
April 15, 2033		99.00	%
October 15, 2033		99.00	%
April 15, 2034		99.00	%
October 15, 2034		100.00	%

and on October 15 of every second year thereafter, through and including October 15, 2070, at 100% of the principal amount of the 2073 Bonds being repaid, plus, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2073 Bonds being repaid, to but excluding the Repayment Date.

In order for a 2073 Bond to be repaid at the option of a Holder, the Trustee must receive, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Repayment Date,

(1)            the 2073 Bonds with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment”on the reverse of the 2073 Bonds duly completed or

(2)            a facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States which must set forth:

	(i)	the name of the Holder of the 2073 Bond;
	(ii)	the principal amount of the 2073 Bond;
	(iii)	the principal amount of the 2073 Bond to be repaid;
	(iv)	the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of the 2073 Bond; and
	(v)	a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised and a guarantee that the 2073 Bond to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the 2073 Bond, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth business day after the date of that facsimile transmission or letter.

With respect to 2073 Bonds which are issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary, an owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall give notice to elect to have its 2073 Bonds repaid, through its Depositary participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such 2073 Bonds by causing such participant to transfer the interest in the 2073 Bonds, on the Depositary's records, to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery of the 2073 Bonds in connection with a repayment of the 2073 Bonds at the option of a Holder will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the 2073 Bonds are transferred by the Depositary participant on the Depositary's records and followed by a book-entry credit of the 2073 Bonds to the Trustee's Depositary account.

The repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of a 2073 Bond for less than the entire principal amount of the 2073 Bond but, in that event, the principal amount of the 2073 Bond remaining outstanding after repayment must be in an authorized denomination.

(g)            Conditional Right to Shorten Maturity. If a Tax Event occurs, the Company will have the right to shorten the Stated Maturity of the 2073 Bonds to a new date (the “New Maturity Date”), without the consent of the Holders of the 2073 Bonds,

(1)            to the minimum extent required, in the opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel, so that, after shortening the Stated Maturity, interest paid on the 2073 Bonds will be deductible for United States federal income tax purposes or

(2)            if that counsel cannot opine definitively as to such a minimum period, the minimum extent so required to maintain the Company's interest deduction,

in each case, to the extent deductible under current law, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, after receipt of an opinion of that counsel regarding the applicable legal standards. In that case, the amount payable on the 2073 Bonds on the New Maturity Date will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2073 Bonds plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2073 Bonds to but excluding the New Maturity Date. If the Company elects to exercise its right to shorten the Stated Maturity of the 2073 Bonds when a Tax Event occurs, the Company will give notice to each Holder of 2073 Bonds not more than 60 days after the occurrence of the Tax Event, stating the New Maturity Date of the 2073 Bonds.

“Tax Event” means that the Company shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of:

(1)            any amendment to, clarification of, or change (including any announced prospective amendment, clarification or change) in any law, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States;

(2)            any judicial decision, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an "administrative or judicial action"); or

(3)            any amendment to, clarification of, or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation,

in each case, occurring on or after September 29, 2023, there is more than an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest paid by the Company on the 2073 Bonds is not, or will not be, deductible, in whole or in part, by the Company for United States federal income tax purposes.

(h)            The 2073 Bonds of the several denominations are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of other 2073 Bonds of other authorized denominations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03 of the Original Indenture, for any exchange of the 2073 Bonds for other 2073 Bonds of different authorized denominations, or for any transfer of 2073 Bonds, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge incident thereto only. The 2073 Bonds may be presented for transfer or exchange at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York, New York.

B. FORM OF THE NEW SERIES BONDS

The New Series Bonds shall be substantially in the following form, with such inclusions, omissions, and variations as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture:

FLOATING RATE SERIES DUE 2073

DUE OCTOBER 15, 2073

This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company (herein referred to as the bonds), not limited in principal amount except as provided in the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, issuable in series, which different series may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates, and may otherwise vary as provided in the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, Floating Rate Series due 2073 (herein referred to as the “Bonds of this Series”), all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally and ratably secured (except insofar as any sinking or analogous fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by an Indenture dated as of January 1, 1944 (the “Original Indenture” and herein, together with all indentures supplemental thereto including the Sixtieth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 2023 (the “Sixtieth Supplemental Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, called the “Mortgage”), to which reference is made for the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of bonds and of the Company in respect thereof, the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are, and are to be, issued and secured. The Mortgage contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of all the bonds at the time outstanding, determined and evidenced as provided in the Mortgage, or in case the rights under the Mortgage of the holders of bonds of one or more, but less than all, of the series of bonds outstanding shall be affected, the holders of not less than seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding of all series affected, determined and evidenced as provided in the Mortgage, on behalf of the holders of all the bonds to waive any past default under the Mortgage and its consequences except a completed default, as defined in the Mortgage, in respect of the payment of the principal of or interest on any bond or default arising from the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage on any of the mortgaged and pledged property. The Mortgage also contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of all the bonds at the time outstanding, determined and evidenced as provided in the Mortgage, or in case the rights under the Mortgage of the holders of bonds of one or more, but less than all, of the series of bonds outstanding shall be affected, then with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding of all series affected, determined and evidenced as provided in the Mortgage, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Mortgage or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any bonds, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, without the express consent of the holder of each bond so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of bonds, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding, or (iii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage on any of the mortgaged and pledged property, or (iv) deprive the holder of any outstanding bond of the lien of the Mortgage on any of the mortgaged and pledged property. Any such waiver or consent by the registered 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, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such waiver or consent is made upon this bond. No reference herein to the Mortgage and no provision of this bond or of the Mortgage shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this bond at the time and place and at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

The Bonds of this Series are issuable in minimum denominations of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and integral multiples thereof and are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of this Series of other authorized denominations. This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered holder hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in said Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the transfer charges prescribed in the Sixtieth Supplemental Indenture hereinabove referred to, and thereupon a new fully registered bond or bonds of authorized denominations of the same series and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage. The Company and the Trustee, any paying agent and any bond registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether or not this bond shall be overdue, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any bond registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Optional Redemption

On or after October 15, 2053, the Company may redeem the Bonds of this Series at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the following redemption prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), if redeemed during the twelve-month periods beginning on October 15 as set forth below:

Twelve-month period beginning on	Redemption price
October 15, 2053		105.00	%
October 15, 2054		104.50	%
October 15, 2055		104.00	%
October 15, 2056		103.50	%
October 15, 2057		103.00	%
October 15, 2058		102.50	%
October 15, 2059		102.00	%
October 15, 2060		101.50	%

October 15, 2062		100.50	%
October 15, 2063		100.00	%

and thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date.

So long as the Bonds of this Series are registered in the name of DTC, its nominee or a successor depositary, if the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Bonds of this Series, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed. At all other times, the Trustee shall draw by lot the particular Bonds of this Series, or portions of them, to be redeemed.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article VIII of the Original Indenture, any notice of redemption as described under “Optional Redemption” may state that the redemption will be conditional upon the Trustee receiving sufficient funds to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed on the redemption date and that if the Trustee does not receive such funds, the redemption notice will not apply, and the Company will not be required to redeem such Bonds of this Series. In the event of any such redemption, the Company will notify the Trustee of its election at least 15 days prior to the redemption date. The Company will provide the Trustee a reasonably detailed computation of the Redemption Price with such notice (or, if not then known, the manner of calculation, with the actual computation provided by the Company to the Trustee promptly following its computation).

Any notice of redemption as described under “Optional Redemption” shall be delivered or given not less than 10 nor more than 90 days prior to the redemption date to the holders of the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed (which, as long as the Bonds of this Series are held in the book-entry only system, will be DTC, its nominee or a successor depositary). If the redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue from and after the redemption date on all or such portions of the Bonds of this Series so called for redemption.

Special Optional Redemption

The Bonds of this Series shall also be redeemable, as a whole but not in part, at 125% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series (the “Special Redemption Price”) in the event that (i) all the outstanding common stock of the Company shall be acquired by some governmental body or instrumentality and the Company elects to redeem all of the bonds of all series, the redemption date in any such event to be not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which all said stock is so acquired, or (ii) all, or substantially all, the mortgaged and pledged property constituting bondable property which at the time shall be subject to the lien of the Mortgage as a first lien shall be released from the lien of the Mortgage pursuant to the provisions thereof, and available moneys in the hands of the Trustee, including any moneys deposited by the Company available for the purpose, are sufficient to redeem all the bonds of all series at the redemption prices (together with accrued interest to the date of redemption) specified therein applicable to the redemption thereof upon the happening of such event.

In the event of any redemption as described under “Special Optional Redemption,” the Company has agreed that before any such redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee a sum of money equal to Special Redemption Price.

Any notice of redemption as described under “Special Optional Redemption” hereof shall be delivered or given not less than 30 nor more than 90 days prior to the redemption date to the holders of the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed (which, as long as the Bonds of this Series are held in the book-entry only system, will be DTC, its nominee or a successor depositary). If the redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue from and after the redemption date on all or such portions of the Bonds of this Series so called for redemption. In the event of any such redemption, the Company will notify the Trustee of its election at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or a shorter period acceptable to the Trustee). The Company will provide the Trustee a reasonably detailed computation of the Special Redemption Price with such notice (or, if not then known, the manner of calculation, with the actual computation provided by the Company to the Trustee promptly following its computation).

Repayment at Option of a Holder

The Bonds of this Series will be repayable at the option of a holder of the Bonds of this Series, in whole or in part, upon notice as described below, on the following dates (each a “Repayment Date”) and at the repayment prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) as set forth below:

	(v)	a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised and a guarantee that the Bond of this Series to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Bond of this Series, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth business day after the date of that facsimile transmission or letter.

With respect to Bond of this Series which are issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary, an owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall give notice to elect to have its Bond of this Series repaid, through its Depositary participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Bond of this Series by causing such participant to transfer the interest in the Bond of this Series, on the Depositary's records, to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery of the Bond of this Series in connection with a repayment of the Bond of this Series at the option of a Holder will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Bond of this Series are transferred by the Depositary participant on the Depositary's records and followed by a book-entry credit of the Bond of this Series to the Trustee's Depositary account.

The repayment option may be exercised by the holder of a Bond of this Series for less than the entire principal amount of the Bond of this Series but, in that event, the principal amount of the Bond of this Series remaining outstanding after repayment must be in an authorized denomination.

Conditional Right to Shorten Maturity

If a Tax Event occurs, the Company will have the right to shorten the Stated Maturity of the Bonds of this Series to a new date (the “New Maturity Date”), without the consent of the Holders of the Bonds of this Series,

(1)

to the minimum extent required, in the opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel, so that, after shortening the Stated Maturity, interest paid on the Bonds of this Series will be deductible for United States federal income tax purposes or

(2)

if that counsel cannot opine definitively as to such a minimum period, the minimum extent so required to maintain the Company's interest deduction,

in each case, to the extent deductible under current law, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, after receipt of an opinion of that counsel regarding the applicable legal standards. In that case, the amount payable on the Bonds of this Series on the New Maturity Date will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Bonds of this Series to but excluding the New Maturity Date. If the Company elects to exercise its right to shorten the Stated Maturity of the Bonds of this Series when a Tax Event occurs, the Company will give notice to each Holder of Bonds of this Series not more than 60 days after the occurrence of the Tax Event, stating the New Maturity Date of the Bonds of this Series.

“Tax Event” means that the Company shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of:

(1)

any amendment to, clarification of, or change (including any announced prospective amendment, clarification or change) in any law, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States;

(2)

any judicial decision, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an "administrative or judicial action"); or

(3)

any amendment to, clarification of, or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation,

in each case, occurring on or after September 29, 2023, there is more than an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest paid by the Company on the Bonds of this Series is not, or will not be, deductible, in whole or in part, by the Company for United States federal income tax purposes.

C. INTEREST ON THE NEW SERIES BONDS

Interest on any New Series Bond which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest specified in the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

Any interest on any New Series Bond which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Regular Record Date solely by virtue of such holder having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Subsection A or B below:

A.            The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the New Series Bonds to the persons in whose names such bonds (or their respective predecessor bonds) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner (a “Special Record Date”). The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each bond and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection provided and not to be deemed part of the trust estate or trust moneys. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder of a bond of the New Series Bonds at the address as it appears in the bond register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper approved by the Company in each place of payment of the New Series Bonds, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the New Series Bonds (or their respective predecessor bonds) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Subsection B.

B.            The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the New Series Bonds in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such bonds may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each New Series Bond delivered under this Supplemental Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other New Series Bonds shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other bond and each such bond shall bear interest from such date, that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.

ARTICLE II

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

The Company hereby covenants as follows:

Section 1. That it will, prior to or simultaneously with the initial authentication and delivery by the Trustee of the New Series Bonds under Section 4.03 or Section 4.05 of the Original Indenture, deliver to the Trustee the instruments required by said Section.

Section 2. That, so long as any of the New Series Bonds shall be outstanding, it will not declare or pay any dividends (except a dividend in its own common stock) upon its common stock, or make any other distribution (by way of purchase, or otherwise) to the holders thereof, except a payment or distribution out of net income of the Company subsequent to December 31, 1943; and that it will not permit any subsidiary of the Company to purchase any shares of common stock of the Company. The terms (i) “dividend” shall be interpreted so as to include distributions and (ii) “common stock” and “shares of common stock” shall be interpreted so as to include membership interests.

For the purpose of this Section, net income of the Company shall be determined by regarding as charges or credits to income, as the case may be, any and all charges or credits to earned surplus subsequent to December 31, 1943, representing adjustments on account of excessive or deficient accruals to income for taxes, and operating expenses shall include all proper charges for the maintenance and repairs of the property owned by the Company and appropriations out of income for the retirement or depreciation of the property used in its electric business in an amount of not less than the amount of the minimum provision for depreciation determined as provided in clause (5) of paragraph A of Section 1.05 of the Original Indenture.

ARTICLE III

CALCULATION AGENT

Section 1. Appointment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon as the Corporation’s calculation agent for the Bonds of this Series (the “Calculation Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon hereby accepts such appointment as the Company’s agent for the purpose of calculating the applicable interest rates on the Bonds of this Series in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

The Company also agrees to indemnify the Calculation Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim (regardless of who asserts such claim) of liability) incurred by the Calculation Agent that arises out of or in connection with its accepting appointment as, or acting as, Calculation Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Calculation Agent or any of its agents or employees. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Calculation Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Calculation Agent in reliance upon (i) the opinion or advice of counsel or (ii) written instructions from the Company. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information used in good faith and with due care to calculate any interest rate hereunder.

(b)            In acting under this Supplemental Indenture, the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligations to or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the beneficial owners or holders of the Bonds of this Series.

(c)            The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the Bonds of this Series or this Supplemental Indenture or any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(d)            The Calculation Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become the owners or pledgee of, or acquire any interest in, any Bonds of this Series, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Calculation Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company as freely as if it were not the Calculation Agent.

(e)            Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Company for any act or omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or them, except in the case of its or their willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(f)            The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(g)            The Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Supplemental Indenture against the Calculation Agent.

(h)            Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Company made or given by it under any provision of this Supplemental Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by any officer of the Company.

(j)            The Company will not, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent, make any change to this Supplemental Indenture or the Bonds of this Series if such change would materially and adversely affect the Calculation Agent’s duties and obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(k)            In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(l)            In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Supplemental Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

(m)            The Calculation Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR or the SOFR Index, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or the business day convention, interest determination dates or any other relevant methodology for calculating any such substitute or successor benchmark, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. In connection with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent will be entitled to conclusively rely on any determinations made by the Company (or its Designee) and will have no liability for such actions taken at the direction of the Company (or its Designee).

(n)            The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties described in this Supplement Indenture as a result of the unavailability of SOFR, the SOFR Index or other applicable Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any failure, inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information contemplated by this Supplement Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

Section 4. Qualifications. The Calculation Agent shall be authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Supplemental Indenture, and shall at all times have a capitalization of at least $50,000,000. The Calculation Agent may not be an affiliate of the Company.

Section 5. Resignation and Removal. The Calculation Agent may at any time resign as Calculation Agent by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall never be earlier than 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing. The Calculation Agent may be removed at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent. If within 30 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed, the Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Company, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Calculation Agent. If at any time the Calculation Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or if the property or affairs of the Calculation Agent shall be taken under the control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or insolvency or for any other reason, then a successor Calculation Agent shall as soon as practicable be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing filed with the predecessor Calculation Agent, the successor Calculation Agent and the Trustee. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Calculation Agent so succeeded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Company of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder and to the payment of all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

Section 6. Successors. Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor, the Company and the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Calculation Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

Section 7. Trustee Deemed Calculation Agent Upon Certain Circumstances. In the event that the Calculation Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or if the property or affairs of the Calculation Agent shall be taken under the control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or insolvency or for any other reason, and the Company shall not have made a timely appointment of a successor Calculation Agent, the Trustee (if other than the Calculation Agent), notwithstanding the provisions of this Article III, shall be deemed to be the Calculation Agent for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture until the appointment by the Company of the successor Calculation Agent.

Section 8. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation, Sale or Transfer. Any Company into which the Calculation Agent may be merged or converted, or any Company with which the Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any Company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Calculation Agent shall be a party or to which the Calculation Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets or business shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Calculation Agent under this Supplemental Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversion or consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Company and the Trustee (if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent).

Section 9. Notice. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other document provided or permitted hereby to be given or furnished to the Calculation Agent shall be delivered in person, sent by letter or fax or communicated by telephone (subject, in the case of communication by telephone, to confirmation dispatched within 24 hours by letter or by fax) as follows:

The Bank of New York Mellon

Attn: Duke Energy Florida Corporate Trust

4655 Salisbury Road, Suite 300

Jacksonville, Florida 32256

or to any other address of which the Calculation Agent shall have notified the Company and the Trustee (if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent) in writing as herein provided.

Section 10. Electronic Communications. The Calculation Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Calculation Agent an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Calculation Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Calculation Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Calculation Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Calculation Agent cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Calculation Agent shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Calculation Agent have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Calculation Agent and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Calculation Agent’s good faith reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Calculation Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Calculation Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Calculation Agent and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Calculation Agent as soon as reasonably practicable upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile trans-mission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Calculation Agent, or another method or system specified by the Calculation Agent as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

Section 11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE CALCULATION AGENT AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE Bonds of this Series OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 12. USA PATRIOT Act. In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering and the Customer Identification Program (“CIP”) requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations, pursuant to which the Calculation Agent must obtain, verify and record information that allows the Calculation Agent to identify customers (“Applicable Law”), the Calculation Agent is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Calculation Agent. Accordingly, the Company agrees to provide to the Calculation Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Calculation Agent to comply with Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, information as to name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help the Calculation Agent to identify and verify such Company such as organizational documents, certificates of good standing, licenses to do business or other pertinent identifying information. The Company understands and agrees that the Calculation Agent cannot determine the interest rates on the Bonds of this Series unless and until the Calculation Agent verifies the identities of the Company in accordance with its CIP.

Section 13. Calculation of Interest Rate for First Interest Period. The Calculation Agent, at the request of the Company, has determined, prior to the date of execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, the interest rate for the initial interest period for the Bonds of this Series. In connection with such determination, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, exculpations and immunities otherwise available to it under this Supplemental Indenture

Section 14. FATCA. The Company agrees (i) to provide the Trustee with such reasonable tax information as it has in its possession to enable the Trustee to determine whether any payments pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture are subject to the withholding requirements described in Section 1471(b) of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations, or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof (“FATCA”) and (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Supplemental Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with FATCA.

Subject to Sections 14.02 and 14.03 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding whether such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Subject to Sections 14.02 and 14.03 of the Indenture, the Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

Section 3. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the due execution hereof by the Company or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made by the Company solely.
