Dated as of: PSI ENERGY, INC. By............................................. ......................................President ATTEST: ............................................. ..............................Secretary (FORM OF REVERSE OF SERIES EEE BOND) This bond is one of the bonds of the Company issued and to be issued from time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by an indenture of mortgage or deed of trust, dated September 1, 1939, from Public Service Company of Indiana (predecessor of the Company) to The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, to which LaSalle Bank National Association is successor trustee (which indenture as amended by all supplemental indentures is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture"). Said Trustee or its successor in trust under the Indenture is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Trustee." Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged and the nature and extent of the security for said bonds. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as in the Indenture provided. This bond is one of a series designated as "PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series EEE, 6.65%, Due June 15, 2006" (hereinafter referred to as "Bonds of Series EEE") of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture and created by a Fifty-Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 15, 2001, which also amends the Indenture. The interest rate payable on the this bond will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") reduces the rating ascribed to the bonds of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture below "Investment Grade," which is Baa3 in the case of Moody's and BBB- in the case of S&P. In this event, the interest rate payable on this bond will be increased by 0.25% for such a reduction by either Moody's or S&P, as the case may be, with a maximum increase of 0.50% if both such rating agencies reduce their ratings below Investment Grade. If Moody's or S&P subsequently increases the rating ascribed to the bonds of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture above Ba1 in the case of Moody's or above BB+ in the case of S&P, then the interest rate payable on this bond will be decreased by 0.25% for such an upgrade by either Moody's or S&P, as the case may be, with a maximum decrease of 0.50% if both such rating agencies upgrade their ratings to Investment Grade, but in no event will the interest rate be reduced to below the initial interest rate. Any such interest rate increase or decrease will take effect from the interest payment date following the related rating downgrade or upgrade, as the case may be. There is no limit to the number of times the interest rate payable on this bond can be adjusted. However, the interest rate payable on this bond will not exceed the initial interest rate of 6.65%, plus a maximum adjustment of 0.50% for rating agency downgrades, plus a maximum of 0.25% additional interest assessed in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Fifty-Third Supplemental Indenture).

Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any redemption date to each holder of Bonds of Series EEE to be redeemed.

(iii) Unrestricted Definitive Bonds to Unrestricted Definitive Bonds. A holder of Unrestricted Definitive Bonds may transfer such Bonds to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of Unrestricted Definitive Bonds. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Trustee shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Bonds pursuant to the instructions from the holder thereof. (f) Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate (i) one or more Unrestricted Global Bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Bonds tendered for acceptance by Persons that certify in the applicable Letters of Transmittal that (x) they are not broker-dealers, (y) they are not participating in a distribution of the Exchange Bonds and (z) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company, and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer and (ii) Definitive Bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Restricted Definitive Bonds accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with the issuance of such Bonds, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Bonds to be reduced accordingly, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Persons designated by the holders of Definitive Bonds so accepted Definitive Bonds in the appropriate principal amounts. (g) Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Bonds and Definitive Bonds issued under this Supplemental Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture. (i) Private Placement Legend. (A) Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) below, each Global Bond and each Definitive Bond (and all Bonds of Series EEE issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form: "THIS BOND (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE NEXT SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE HOLDER: (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (A "QIB"), OR (B) IT HAS ACQUIRED THIS BOND IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS BOND EXCEPT (A) TO PSI ENERGY, INC. OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, (B) TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QIB PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QIB IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (C) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 903 OR 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (D) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (E) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS BOND OR AN INTEREST HEREIN IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "U.S. PERSON" AND "UNITED STATES" HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY RULE 902 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE FIFTY-THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS BOND IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING." (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Bond or Definitive Bond issued pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(iv), (c)(iii), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f) of this Section 3 (and all Bonds of Series EEE issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall not bear the Private Placement Legend. (ii) Global Bond Legend. Each Global Bond shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: "UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, OR PAYMENT AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL, INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN." (iii) Regulation S Temporary Global Bond Legend. The Regulation S Temporary Global Bond shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: "THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL BOND, AND THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE FOR CERTIFICATED BONDS, ARE AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS DEFINED HEREIN). ONLY THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL BOND SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON." (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Bonds. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Bond have been exchanged for Definitive Bonds or a particular Global Bond has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Bond shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Bond is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Bond or for Definitive Bonds, the principal amount of Bonds represented by such Global Bond shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Bond by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Bond, such other Global Bond shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Bond by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. Section 4. Date of Bonds of Series EEE. Each Bond of Series EEE issued prior to the first interest payment date shall be dated as of June 22, 2001, and otherwise shall be dated as provided in Section 1 of Article II of the Indenture. Section 5. Maturity Dates and Interest Rates of Bonds of Series EEE. All Bonds of Series EEE shall be due and payable on June 15, 2006, and shall bear interest from June 22, 2001 initially at the rate of 6.65% per annum, payable semi-annually on the fifteenth day of June and December in each year, commencing December 15, 2001. Section 6. Interest Rate Adjustments. (a) Rating Agency Downgrades. The interest rate payable on the Bonds of Series EEE will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") reduces the rating ascribed to the bonds of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture below "Investment Grade," which is Baa3 in the case of Moody's and BBB- in the case of S&P. In this event, the interest rate payable on the Bonds of Series EEE will be increased by 0.25% for such a reduction by either Moody's or S&P, as the case may be, with a maximum increase of 0.50% if both such rating agencies reduce their ratings below Investment Grade. If Moody's or S&P subsequently increases the rating ascribed to the bonds of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture above Ba1 in the case of Moody's or above BB+ in the case of S&P, then the interest rate payable on the Bonds of Series EEE will be decreased by 0.25% for such an upgrade by either Moody's or S&P, as the case may be, with a maximum decrease of 0.50% if both such rating agencies upgrade their ratings to Investment Grade, but in no event will the interest rate be reduced to below the initial interest rate. Any such interest rate increase or decrease will take effect from the interest payment date following the related rating downgrade or upgrade, as the case may be. The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly of any changes in the rate of interest due to a related ratings downgrade or upgrade. There is no limit to the number of times the interest rate payable on the Bonds of Series EEE can be adjusted. However, the interest rate payable on the Bonds of Series EEE will not exceed the initial interest rate of 6.65%, plus a maximum adjustment of 0.50% for rating agency downgrades, plus a maximum of 0.25% additional interest assessed in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement. (b) Registration Rights Agreement. If the Company fails to comply with certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, additional interest (the "Additional Interest") shall be assessed as follows: (i) If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed within 120 days following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 121st day after the Closing Date, Additional Interest shall be accrued on the Bonds of Series EEE at a rate of 0.25% per annum; or (ii) If an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to (i) above and is not declared effective within 180 days following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 181st day after the Closing Date, Additional Interest shall be accrued on the Bonds of Series EEE at a rate of 0.25% per annum; or (iii) If either (A) the Company has not completed the Exchange Offer on or prior to 35 days after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective, or (B) if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective but such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time prior to two years from the Closing Date, then Additional Interest shall be accrued on the Bonds of Series EEE at a rate of 0.25% per annum immediately following the (x) 36th day after such effective date, in the case of (A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective in the case of (B) above, provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate on the Bonds of Series EEE may not exceed 0.25% per annum; and, provided, further, that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of (ii) above), or (3) upon the completion of the Exchange Offer or upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective prior to two years from the Closing Date (in the case of (iii) above), Additional Interest on the Bonds of Series EEE as a result of such clause (i), (ii) or (iii) shall cease to accrue. The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly if any Additional Interest shall be assessed. Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above will be payable in cash, on the same original payment dates of the Bonds of Series EEE. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Bonds of Series EEE, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. If the Company effects the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Offer will be deemed completed only (i) if the Exchange Bonds received by holders (other than Restricted Holders) in the Exchange Offer are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction imposed thereon by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and without material restrictions imposed thereon by the blue sky or securities laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States of America and (ii) upon the Company having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange Bonds for all Bonds of Series EEE that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn. Bonds of Series EEE not validly tendered in the Exchange Offer shall bear interest at the same rates as would otherwise be in effect. The terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties thereto. In the event that any transferee of any holder of Registrable Bonds shall acquire Registrable Bonds, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a party thereto for all purposes and such Registrable Bonds shall be held subject to all of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Bonds such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform, all of the applicable terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. Section 7. Certain Rights to Require Repurchase of Bonds of Series EEE by the Company. In the event an unaffiliated third party acquires the Company or its parent company, Cinergy Corp. (an "Acquisition Event"), and both Moody's and S&P reduce the rating ascribed to the Bonds of Series EEE below Investment Grade within 30 calendar days of the Acquisition Event (an "Acquisition Downgrade"), then each holder of the Bonds of Series EEE will have the right, at the holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the holder's Bonds of Series EEE. The Company will purchase the Bonds of Series EEE on the Repurchase Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series EEE, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to the Repurchase Date. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and holders of the Bonds of Series EEE within 30 calendar days after the Acquisition Downgrade. The date on which notice is given to the Trustee shall be the "Notice Date." To require the Company to repurchase the Bonds of Series EEE, a holder must, on or before the close of business 20 Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date, notify the Trustee of such holder's exercise of this option and complete and submit appropriate documentation. For purposes of this Section 7, the "Repurchase Date" means the 45th calendar day after the Notice Date and a "Business Day" is any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day that banking institutions in the City of New York or the City of Chicago are authorized or obligated to close. The Company's failure to repurchase the Bonds on the Repurchase Date will be an event of default under the Indenture upon 60 days following notice to the Company from the Trustee of such failure to perform or observe the Company's covenant to repurchase the Bonds. Section 8. Subject to agreements with or the rules of the Depositary or any successor book-entry security system or similar system with respect to Global Bonds, both the principal of and the interest on the Bonds of Series EEE shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company in Plainfield, Indiana, or, at the option of the holder thereof, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, State of New York, except that interest on the Bonds of Series EEE may be paid, at the option of the Company, by check or draft mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the books of the Company maintained for that purpose. Section 9. Definitive Bonds of Series EEE shall be issuable in any denomination which is a multiple of $1,000 numbered consecutively from "EEE-1" upward. All Bonds of Series EEE shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its President or an Executive Vice President or one of its Vice Presidents and shall have affixed thereto the seal of the Company or a facsimile thereof attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries and shall be authenticated by the execution by the Trustee of the certificate endorsed on said bonds. No service charge will be made by the Company for the transfer or for the exchange of Bonds of Series EEE except, in the case of transfer, a charge sufficient to reimburse the Company for any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 of Article II of the Indenture, Bonds of Series EEE may be issued in temporary form, and if temporary bonds be issued, the Company shall, at such time as the Company may elect, at its own expense and without charge to the holders of the temporary bonds, prepare and execute definitive Bonds of Series EEE and exchange the temporary bonds for such definitive bonds in the manner provided for in said section, provided, however, no presentation or surrender of temporary Bonds of Series EEE shall be necessary in order for the holders entitled to interest thereon to receive such interest. Section 10. Article IX of the Indenture, "Maintenance and Renewal Fund and Sinking Fund Provisions" as heretofore amended or supplemented shall not apply to the Bonds of Series BBB or to any subsequently created series of bonds (which includes the Bonds of Series EEE) from and after the date on which no series of bonds created under the Indenture prior to the Bonds of Series BBB are outstanding. Section 11. Section 22 of Article V of the Indenture as heretofore amended or supplemented which, among other things, requires an inspection of the mortgaged property every two years by an independent engineer, shall not apply to the Bonds of Series BBB or to any subsequently created series of bonds (which includes the Bonds of Series EEE), from and after the date in which no series of bonds created under the Indenture prior to the Bonds of Series BBB are outstanding. Section 12. The Company reserves the right, without consent or other action by the holders of the Bonds of Series BBB or of any subsequently created series of bonds (which includes the Bonds of Series EEE), to amend the Indenture, as heretofore amended or supplemented, at any time after all bonds of any series created prior to the Bonds of Series BBB are no longer outstanding under the Indenture, as follows: (a) by substituting for the words "in principal amount not greater than sixty per centum (60%) of" in Section 3 of Article IV thereof the following: "in principal amount not greater than sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66-2/3%) of ".

ARTICLE III. ISSUANCE OF BONDS OF SERIES EEE. Section 1. An initial issue of Bonds of Series EEE in the aggregate principal amount not exceeding three hundred twenty-five million dollars ($325,000,000) may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Company (which authentication and delivery may be made without awaiting the filing or recording of this Fifty-Third Supplemental Indenture), upon receipt by the Trustee of the resolutions, certificates, orders, opinions and other instruments required by the provisions of Section 3 of Article IV of the Indenture to be received by the Trustee as a condition to the authentication and delivery by the Trustee of bonds pursuant to said Section 3.

First Mortgage Bonds, Series EEE, 6.65%, Due June 15, 2006,', created by the Fifty-Third Supplemental Indenture." and (ii) by changing the numbering of the present subdivision "(93)" thereof to "(94)". Section 2. Article VII of the Indenture, as heretofore amended, is hereby further amended by inserting therein immediately after Section 37 thereof, a new section designated "Section 38" and reading as follows: "Section 38. Each of the Bonds of Series EEE will be subject to redemption (the `Make-Whole Redemption') at the option of the Company at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, until maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to the holders of such Series, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Bonds of such Series being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Bonds. `Make-Whole Amount' means, in connection with any Make-Whole Redemption of any Bonds of Series EEE, the excess, if any, of (i) the sum, as determined by a Quotation Agent (as defined herein), of the present value of the principal amount of such Bonds being redeemed, together with scheduled payments of interest from the redemption date to the stated maturity of such Bonds (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date), in each case discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined herein) over (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series EEE to be redeemed. `Adjusted Treasury Rate' means, with respect to any redemption date for a Make-Whole Redemption, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined herein), calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price (as defined herein) for such redemption date, calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date for the Bonds of Series EEE, plus in each case 0.25% (25 basis points). `Comparable Treasury Issue' means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the redemption date to the stated maturity of the Bonds of Series EEE 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 the Bonds of Series EEE. `Quotation Agent' means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. `Reference Treasury Dealer' means a primary U.S. Government securities dealer. `Comparable Treasury Price' means, with respect to any redemption date for a Make-Whole Redemption, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release designated `H.15' (or any successor release) published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of such Quotations. `Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations' means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for a Make-Whole Redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee (after consultation with 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any redemption date to each holder of Bonds of Series EEE to be redeemed. If less than all the Bonds of Series EEE are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the Bonds of Series EEE to be redeemed in whole or in part. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds of Series EEE or portions thereof called for redemption. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses, fees (including attorneys' fees), court costs, judgments, penalties, obligations, suits, disbursements and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee by reason of or arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly by any act or omission of the Trustee with respect to the foregoing Section 38, including without limitation selection of any Reference Treasury Dealer or determination of any Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, except for such that would arise out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee and except for costs and expenses arising in the ordinary course of the Trustee's business."

In general, each and every term and condition contained in Article XVII of the Indenture shall apply to this Fifty-Third Supplemental Indenture. ARTICLE VI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Section 1.

Section 2. Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Indenture shall thereupon be deemed to be amended as hereinabove set forth as fully and with the same effect as if the amendments made hereby were set forth in the original Indenture and each of the fifty-three supplemental indentures to the Indenture shall henceforth be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument; but such amendments shall not operate so as to render invalid or improper any action heretofore taken under the original Indenture or said supplemental indentures. Section 3. All the covenants, stipulations and agreements in this Fifty-Third Supplemental Indenture contained are and shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns, and of the holders from time to time of the bonds.
