This 3.15% First Mortgage Bond due 2026 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”), issued and issuable in one or more series under and equally secured by an Indenture of Mortgage, dated as of June 19, 2020 (such Indenture of Mortgage as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the “Mortgage Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Mortgage Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security and the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Bond shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Bonds of this series are also redeemable at the option of the Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, at any time after the Original Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed; or

(b) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Bonds of this series to be so redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 0.25%,

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Bonds of this series being redeemed to but not including the Redemption Date.

For the purposes of this Bond:

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date on which any Bonds are being redeemed:

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

(b) if such release (or any successor publication) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in (i) any place of payment or other location specified in the Bonds or the Mortgage Indenture or (ii) the location of the Company’s principal place of business or the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed, except as may be otherwise specified as contemplated by the Mortgage Indenture.

A-6

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the Remaining Life of the 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 Life of the Bonds to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date on which the Bonds are being redeemed, (a) the average of five (5) Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five (5) such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained.

“Dealer” means a primary U.S. Government Securities dealer in the United States.

“Independent Investment Banker” means a Dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, the Independent Investment Banker and Dealers acceptable to the Independent Investment Banker and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Dealer, the Company will select a substitute Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Remaining Life,” as of any date of calculation, means the remaining term of the Bonds.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Bonds that the Company is redeeming, the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest that would be due after the applicable Redemption Date if such Bond were not redeemed. However, if the Redemption Date is not a scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to that Bond, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on that Bond will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such Bond to the Redemption Date.

“U.S. Government Securities” means securities which are (a) direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment on which its full faith and credit is pledged or (b) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation of the United States of America, and which in the case of (a) and (b) are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Security or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Security held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Security evidenced by such depository receipt.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Bonds of this series, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Mortgage Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and sent not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds of this series to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Bonds of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bonds or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. The Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $1,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Bond in part only, a new Bond or Bonds of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

A-7

This 4.50% First Mortgage Bond due 2040 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”), issued and issuable in one or more series under and equally secured by an Indenture of Mortgage, dated as of June 19, 2020 (such Indenture of Mortgage as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the “Mortgage Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Mortgage Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security and the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Bond shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Bonds of this series are also redeemable at the option of the Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, at any time prior to January 1, 2040 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date), at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed; or

(b) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), calculated as if the Maturity Date of the Bonds was January 1, 2040 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points,

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date; and (b) at any time on or after January 1, 2040 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date) at 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date.

For purposes of this Bond:

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date on which the Bonds are being redeemed pursuant to the redemption terms of a Bond, 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.

“Business Day” means any day that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or regulation to close.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the applicable Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Bond, assuming, for such purpose, that this Bond matured on January 1, 2040, (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date)), that would be used, at the time of the selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Bond to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date on which the Bonds are being redeemed pursuant to the redemption terms of a Bond, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (b) if the Company obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary dealer in U.S. Government Securities.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company in respect of the Bonds.

“Reference Treasury Dealer”, means (1) Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, the average, as determined by the Company, 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 Company by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Bonds that the Company is redeeming pursuant to the redemption terms of a Bond, the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest that would be due after the applicable Redemption Date if the Bond were not redeemed. However, if the Redemption Date is not a scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to the Bond, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Bond will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Bond to the Redemption Date.

“U.S. Government Securities” means securities which are (a) direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment on which its full faith and credit is pledged or (b) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation of the United States of America, and which in the case of (a) and (b) are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Security or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Security held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Security evidenced by such depository receipt.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Bonds of this series, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Mortgage Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and sent not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Bonds being redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bond or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $100,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders);provided,however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.
