The New Bonds shall be dated as provided in Section 3 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended; shall mature February 15, 2024; shall bear interest as provided in said Section 3 of Article Two at the rate of seven and seven-eighths per centum (7⅞%) per annum until paid or redeemed as hereinafter provided, payable on August 15, 1993 and thereafter semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15, to the Bondholders in whose names such New Bonds are registered at the close of business on January 31 or July 31, as the case may be, next preceding such February 15 or August 15, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any New Bonds, such interest in default shall be paid to the Bondholders in whose names the New Bonds are registered at the close of business on a date established for the payment of such defaulted interest by the Company in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the New Bonds may be listed; and shall be payable as to both principal and interest 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, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
SECTION 4. The New Bonds shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.
Whenever any New Bond or New Bonds shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in said Borough of Manhattan for exchange for a New Bond or New Bonds of other authorized denomination or denominations, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon cancellation of the New Bond or New Bonds so surrendered, a New Bond or New Bonds of such other authorized denomination or denominations of like aggregate principal amount as the Bondholder making the exchange shall have requested and shall be entitled to receive. On presentation of any New Bond which is to be redeemed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of this Article One in part only, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a New Bond or New Bonds in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the New Bond so presented.
The Company shall not be required to (a) register a transfer of, or exchange, any New Bond during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of New Bonds to be redeemed or (b) register a transfer of, or exchange, any New Bond which shall have been selected for redemption in whole or in part.
A service charge will not be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of New Bonds, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Until definitive New Bonds shall be ready for delivery, the Company may execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive New Bonds but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions except as to the denominations thereof, temporary printed or lithographed New Bonds as provided in Section 8 of Article Two of the First Mortgage as amended. Such temporary New Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive New Bonds, when ready for delivery, in the manner provided in the First Mortgage as amended, and shall in all other respects be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions and lien of this Fortieth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms and provisions and lien of the First Mortgage as amended as therein provided.
SECTION 5. New Bonds may be redeemed, prior to maturity, at the election of the Company, in the manner provided in Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, as a whole at any time, or (so long as the Company is not in default in the payment of interest on the New
Bonds) in part from time to time (i) at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption by the use of proceeds of released property (as hereinafter in this Section defined), and (ii) otherwise than by the use of proceeds of released property, on or after February 15, 2003, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption together with a premium equal to a percentage of the principal amount thereof determined as set forth in the tabulation below:

and without premium if redeemed on or after February 15, 2014.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and third sentences of Section 4 of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any New Bond may, if the Company so agrees with the registered holder thereof (or the person for whom such registered holder is a nominee if such person has filed with the Trustee a certificate to the effect that such registered holder is such person's nominee), be made by the Trustee, or by any other paying agent with the consent of the Trustee, to such registered holder without presentation or surrender thereof to the Trustee if there shall have been filed with the Trustee a written undertaking of such registered holder, for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Company, that such registered holder (a) will promptly and prior to any transfer make notations on such New Bond of the portions thereof so redeemed and the date to which interest has been paid thereon; (b) will permit the Trustee to inspect, at any reasonable time, such notations (and, in default of such notations having been made, to make such notations); and (c) will not dispose of such New Bond or any interest thereon unless, prior to the delivery thereof, such New Bond either shall have been presented to the Trustee for appropriate notation (or confirmation of notation) thereon of the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been
redeemed and the date to which interest has been paid thereon or shall have been surrendered to the Trustee in exchange for a New Bond or New Bonds aggregating the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such New Bond. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine that such notations have been made. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to any Bondholder or to the Company or to any person for any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any Bondholder in connection with the foregoing. The Company will indemnify and save the Trustee harmless against any liabilities resulting from any such act or omission or any action of the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph.
In connection with redemption, the term "proceeds of released property" as used in this Section shall mean cash deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended and applied to the redemption of New Bonds pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as heretofore and hereby amended.
Except as in this Fortieth Supplemental Indenture otherwise provided with respect to any matter or question, the provisions of Article Ten of the First Mortgage as amended shall be applicable in the case of the redemption of all or any part of the New Bonds at any time outstanding.

ARTICLE THREE.
AMENDMENTS TO FIRST MORTGAGE AS AMENDED TO
BECOME EFFECTIVE AT A LATER DATE OR DATES.
SECTION 1. Each of the amendments provided for by the following Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Article Three shall become effective on the earliest date on which either (a) there shall not be any Bonds outstanding of Series Due 1975, Series Due 1978, Series A, Due 1978, Series Due 1982, Series Due 1984 or Series Due 1993, or (b) there shall have been executed and delivered a supplemental indenture or indentures embodying said amendment (either alone or with other amendments) consented to by the holders of seventy-five per centum (75%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding of the series enumerated in the foregoing clause (a), or of each of said series of which Bonds are then outstanding, all in conformity with the provisions of Article EIGHTEEN of the First Mortgage as amended; provided that no consent of the holders of the Bonds of Series Due 1997 shall be required to effect said amendments.
SECTION 2. Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, the following Clauses in the Granting Clauses of the First Mortgage and of each Supplemental Indenture which has Granting Clauses similarly entitled, "Other Real Estate and Appurtenances" and "Property Hereafter To Become Subject To The Lien of This Indenture" are hereby amended as follows:
(a) The final phrase of the last paragraph of the Clause entitled "Other Real Estate and Appurtenances" which heretofore provided as follows:
"or (2) in any case to any bonds, notes, evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities, except such as may be specifically subjected to the lien hereof. "
is amended to read as follows:
"or (2) in any case, to any cars, trucks or other vehicles of any nature for the transportation of personnel, materials or equipment by any means which may have been acquired after the effective date of the amendment to this Clause made by or pursuant to the provisions of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, or to any bonds, notes, evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities, except such as may be specifically subjected to the lien hereof."
(b) The final phrase of paragraph A of the Clause entitled "Property Hereafter To Become Subject To The Lien of This Indenture" which heretofore provided as follows:
"or (2) in any case, any bonds, notes, evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities, except such as may be specifically subjected to the lien hereof.
is amended to read as follows:
"or (2) in any case, any cars, trucks or other vehicles of any nature for the transportation of personnel, materials or equipment by any means, or any bonds, notes, evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities, except such as may be specifically subjected to the lien hereof."
(c) Paragraph B of the Clause entitled "Property Hereafter To Become Subject To The Lien of This Indenture" is amended to read as follows:
"B. Any and all property of every name and nature, including shares of stock, bonds, other securities or obligations and cars, trucks or other vehicles for the transportation of personnel, materials or equipment by any means, which from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, by delivery or by writing of any kind for the purposes hereof, shall have been conveyed, mortgaged, pledged, assigned or transferred by, or by anyone on behalf of, the Company to the Trustee, which is hereby authorized to receive any property at any and all times, as and for additional security, and also when and as hereinafter provided as and for substituted security, for the payment of the
Bonds to be issued hereunder, and to hold and apply any and all such property subject to the terms hereof."
SECTION 3. Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, the Maintenance and Replacement Fund, provided for in Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as amended, shall be discontinued. On that date the obligation of the Company to make payments to the Trustee as a Maintenance and Replacement Fund shall be terminated and all property which shall have theretofore become funded property by being used as a deduction under Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as amended shall no longer be funded property except an amount of such funded property equal to the amount of retirements, as defined in Section 4 of Article One of the First Mortgage. In order to effect this result and to change the definition of funded property to include property additions equal to retirements rather than equal to deductions under the Maintenance and Replacement Fund, the following amendments shall become effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three:
(a) Section 5 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby deleted;
(b) Subparagraph (7) of Section 5 of Article One of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby amended so as to read:
"(7) So long as any bonds of Series Due 1997, Series Due 1998, Series Due 1999, Series Due 2000 or Series Due 2001 shall be outstanding, in addition to all property additions specified in the foregoing and following subparagraphs of this Section 5, property additions, at their cost to the Company (computed as provided in Section 3 of Article Five), equal to the dollar amount of retirements, as defined in Section 4 of Article One."
(c) Section 3 of Article Five of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby amended so as to read:
"SECTION 3. Bonds of any one or more series shall be authenticated and delivered under the provisions of this Article Five upon the basis of property additions, as defined in Section 4 of Article One, which are not then funded property, as defined in Section 5 of Article One, in a principal amount not
exceeding 60 per centum (60%) of the cost or the then fair value thereof to the Company, whichever shall be less. The cost of any such property additions shall be deemed to be the sum of (1) any cash forming a part of such cost, (2) an amount equivalent to the fair market value in cash of any securities issued or delivered in payment therefor or for the acquisition thereof as of the date of such issue or delivery, and (3) the principal amount of any prior lien bonds outstanding against such property additions at the time of their acquisition unless the engineer's certificate, hereinafter in subdivision (3) of Section 6 of this Article Five provided for, shall show that other property additions subject to the lien securing such prior lien bonds are then funded property as defmed in Section 5 of Article One. The fair value to the Company of any such property additions shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof to the Company as of the time when such fair value is being determined, such fair value to be determined as if such property additions were free of prior liens, if any. The amount of funded property, the amount of the cost of any property additions and the then fair value thereof to the Company and the amount of retirements shall be determined for the purpose of this Section by the appropriate certificates provided for in Section 6 of this Article Five."
(d) Subparagraph (c) of subdivision (3) of Section 6 of Article Five is hereby amended to read as follows:
"(c) stating that such property additions are desirable for use in the proper conduct of the Company's business, that such property additions do not consist in whole or in part of funded property as defined in Section 5 of Article One and that funded property includes, as of the date of the certificate, property additions having a cost to the Company equal to the dollar amount stated in said certificate of retirements made by the Company as defmed in Section 4 of Article One to a date not more than 30 days prior to the date of the certificate. "
(e) Subdivision (9) of Section 6 of Article Five is hereby deleted.
Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, the Company and the Trustee shall enter into a supplemental identure which shall by amendment delete such references, adjust such
enumeration of sections and paragraphs and make such changes in the First Mortgage as amended necessary to make it consistent with the amendments provided for in this Section 3.
SECTION 4. Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, Section 7 of Article Eight of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby amended by amending clause (a) of the first sentence thereof to read as follows:
". . . (a) by reputable fire insurance companies, any loss to be made payable to the Trustee, as its interest may appear, or to the trustee or other holder of any mortgage or other lien constituting a prior lien or a lien prior hereto, if required by the terms thereof, except any loss as to materials and supplies and except any loss less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), . . . .”
SECTION 5. Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, Section 3 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby amended by amending the first sentence of the third full paragraph of said Section to read as follows:
"In case the release of property is based upon property additions, the Trustee shall also be furnished with such certificates and opinions with respect to such property additions and such instruments and other papers as would be necessary to entitle the Company under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five hereof to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis of such property additions, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer's certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by the Company."
SECTION 6. Effective on a date fixed as provided in Section 1 of this Article Three, Section 5 of Article Eleven of the First Mortgage as amended is hereby amended by amending that part of the first sentence of the second paragraph thereof which precedes clause (b) to read as follows:
“Such moneys shall from time to time be paid out or used or applied by the Trustee as aforesaid upon the written order of
the Company, signed by its President or a Vice-President, and (a) with respect to any payment under subdivision (1) above, upon receipt by the Trustee of such certificates, opinions, instruments and other papers with respect to such property additions as would be necessary under the provisions of Section 6 of Article Five hereof to entitle the Company to the authentication and delivery of Bonds upon the basis thereof, exclusive of the resolution, net earnings certificate and Treasurer's certificate required by subdivisions (1), (6) and (9) of said Section 6 and of such parts of the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 6 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of Bonds of the Company by governmental authorities and by The Company; or . . ."
SECTION 7.
