WHEREAS, the Company, in the exercise of the powers and
authorities conferred upon and reserved to it under and by virtue
of the provisions of the Original Indenture, and pursuant to
resolutions of its Board of Directors, has duly resolved and
determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee a

Indenture, according to their tenor and effect, and the
performance of all the provisions of the Original Indenture and
this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture (including any further

and any modification or alteration made as in the Original
Indenture provided) and of said bonds, has granted, bargained,
sold, released, conveyed, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, set
over and confirmed, and by these presents does grant, bargain,

All property, real, personal and mixed, tangible and
intangible, and all franchises owned by the Company on the date
of the execution hereof, acquired since the execution of the
Fourth 1993 Supplemental Indenture (except any hereinafter
expressly excepted from the lien and operation of this First 1994
Supplemental Indenture).
TOGETHER WITH all and singular the tenements, hereditaments
and appurtenances belonging or in anywise appertaining to the
aforesaid property or any part thereof, with the reversion and
reversions, remainder and remainders and (subject to the
provisions of Section 63 of the Original Indenture) the tolls,

released, conveyed, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged,
set over or confirmed hereunder and are hereby expressly excepted
from the lien and operation of the Original Indenture and this
First 1994 Supplemental Indenture, viz.: (1) cash, shares of
stock, and obligations (including bonds, notes and other
securities) not hereinafter or in the Original Indenture
specifically pledged, deposited or delivered hereunder or
thereunder or hereinafter or therein covenanted so to be; (2) any
goods, wares, merchandise, equipment, materials or supplies
acquired for the purpose of sale or resale in the usual course of
business or for consumption in the operation of any properties of
the Company and automobiles and trucks; (3) all judgments,
accounts, and choses in action, the proceeds of which the Company
is not obligated as hereinafter provided or as provided in the
Original Indenture to deposit with the Trustee hereunder and
thereunder; provided, however, that the property and rights
expressly excepted from the lien and operation of the Original
Indenture and this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture in the above
subdivisions (2) and (3) shall (to the extent permitted by law)
cease to be so excepted, in the event that the Trustee or a
receiver or trustee shall enter upon and take possession of the
mortgaged and pledged property in the manner provided in Article
XIV of the Original Indenture by reason of the occurrence of a
completed default, as defined in said Article XIV.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all such properties, real, personal and
mixed, granted, bargained, sold, released, conveyed, assigned,
transferred, mortgaged, pledged, set over or confirmed by the
Company as aforesaid, or intended so to be, unto the Trustee and
its successors in the trust;
SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to the reservations, exceptions,
conditions, limitations and restrictions contained in the several
deeds, leases, servitudes, franchises and contracts or other
instruments through which the Company acquired and/or claims
title to and/or enjoys the use of the aforesaid properties; and
subject also to encumbrances of the character defined in Section
6 of the Original Indenture as "excepted encumbrances" in so far
as the same may attach to any of the property embraced herein.
Inasmuch as the Company holds certain of said lands, rights
of way and other property under leases, power agreements and
other contracts which provide that the Company's interest therein
shall not be mortgaged without the consent of the respective
lessors or other parties to said agreements and contracts, and
such lessors and parties have either given such consent or have
waived the requirement of such consent, it is hereby expressly
agreed and made a condition upon which this First 1994
Supplemental Indenture is executed and delivered, that the lien
of this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture and the estate, rights
and remedies of the Trustee hereunder, and the rights and
remedies of the holders of the bonds secured hereby and by the
Original Indenture in so far as they may affect such lands,
rights of way and other property now held or to be hereafter
acquired by the Company under such leases, contracts or
agreements, shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to
the rights and remedies of the respective lessors or other
parties thereto.
And it is hereby expressly covenanted and agreed as follows:
(a) That the rights of the Trustee hereunder, and of
every person or corporation whatsoever claiming by reason of
this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture any right, title or
interest, legal or equitable, in the property covered by any
such lease, power agreement or other contract, are and at
all times hereafter shall be subject in the same manner and
degree as the rights of the Company might or would at all
times be subject, had this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture
not been made, to all terms, provisions, conditions,
covenants, stipulations, and agreements, and to all
exceptions, reservations, limitations, restrictions, and
forfeitures contained in any such lease, power agreement or
other contract;
(b) That any right, claim, condition or forfeiture
which might at any time be asserted against the party in
possession under the provisions of any such lease, power
agreement or other contract, had this First 1994
Supplemental Indenture not been made, may be asserted with
the same force and effect against any and all persons or
corporations at any time claiming any right, title or
interest in any such property under or by reason of this
First 1994 Supplemental Indenture or of any bond hereby and
by the Original Indenture secured; and
(c) That such consent or waiver of the requirement of
such consent given by the lessor under any such lease or
party to any such power agreement or other contract is
intended and shall be construed to be solely for the purpose
of permitting the Company to mortgage its property generally
without violating the express covenant contained in such
lease, power agreement or other contract, and that such
consent or waiver of the requirement of such consent confers
upon the Trustee hereunder and the holders of bonds secured
hereby and by the Original Indenture no rights in addition
to such as they would have had, respectively, if such
consent or waiver of the requirement of such consent had not
been given.
IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, upon the terms and trusts in the
Original Indenture and this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture set
forth, for the equal and pro rata benefit and security of those
who shall hold the bonds and coupons issued and to be issued
hereunder and under the Original Indenture, in accordance with
the terms of the Original Indenture and of this First 1994
Supplemental Indenture, without preference, priority or
distinction as to lien of any of said bonds or coupons over any
other thereof by reason of priority in the time of issuance or
negotiation thereof, or otherwise howsoever, subject, however, to
the conditions, provisions and covenants set forth in the
Original Indenture and in this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture.
AND THIS INDENTURE FURTHER WITNESSETH:
That in further consideration of the premises and for the
considerations aforesaid, the Company, for itself and it
successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees to and with
the Trustee, and its successor or successors in such trust, under
the Original Indenture, as follows:
Section 1. The Original Indenture is hereby supplemented by
adding immediately after Section 20ZZ, a new Section 20AAA, as
follows:
SECTION 20AAA. The Company hereby creates a fifty-
fourth series of bonds to be issued under and secured by
this Indenture, to be designated and to be distinguished
from the bonds of all other series by the title "First
Mortgage Bonds, Designated Secured Medium Term Notes, 7.70%
Series due September 1, 2004" (herein sometimes referred to
as the "bonds of the 54th Series"). The form of the bonds
of the 54th Series shall be substantially as set forth in
Schedule I to the First 1994 Supplemental Indenture.
Bonds of the 54th Series shall mature on the date
specified in their title. Unless otherwise determined by
the Company, the bonds of the 54th Series shall be issued in
fully registered form without coupons in denominations of
$1,000 and in integral multiples thereof; the principal of
and premium (if any) and interest on each said bond to be
payable at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in lawful money
of the United States of America, provided that at the option
of the Company interest may be mailed to registered owners
of the bonds at their respective addresses that appear on
the register thereof; and the rate of interest shall be the
rate per annum specified in the title thereof, payable semi-
annually on the first days of May and November of each year
(commencing November 1, 1994) and on their maturity date.
The person in whose name any bond of the 54th Series is
registered at the close of business on any record date (as
hereinbelow defined) with respect to any regular semi-annual
interest payment date (other than interest payable upon
redemption) shall be entitled to receive the interest
payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the
cancellation of such bond of the 54th Series upon any
registration of transfer or exchange thereof (including any
exchange effected as an incident to a partial redemption
thereof) subsequent to the record date and prior to such
interest payment date, except, if and to the extent that the
Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on
such interest payment date, then the registered owners of
bonds of the 54th Series on such record date shall have no
further right to or claim in respect of such defaulted
interest as such registered owners on such record date, and
the persons entitled to receive payment of any defaulted
interest thereafter payable or paid on any bonds of the 54th
Series shall be the registered owners of such bonds of the
54th Series (or any bond or bonds issued, directly or after
intermediate transactions upon transfer or exchange or in
substitution thereof) on the date of payment of such
defaulted interest. Interest payable upon redemption or
maturity shall be payable to the person to whom the
principal is paid. The term "record date" as used in this
Section 20AAA, and in the form of the bonds of the 54th
Series, with respect to any regular semi-annual interest
payment date (other than interest payable upon redemption)
applicable to the bonds of the 54th Series, shall mean the
April 15 next preceding a May 1 interest payment date or the
October 15 next preceding a November 1 interest payment
date, as the case may be, or, if such April 15 or October 15
is not a Business Day (as defined hereinbelow), the next
preceding Business Day. The term "Business Day" with
respect to any bond of the 54th Series shall mean any day,
other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which
banking institutions or trust companies in The City of New
York, New York or the city in which is located any office or
agency maintained for the payment of principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on such bond of the 54th Series
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive
order to remain closed.
Every registered bond of the 54th Series shall be dated
the date of authentication ("Issue Date") and shall bear
interest computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months from its Issue Date or from the
latest semi-annual interest payment date to which interest
has been paid on the bonds of the 54th Series preceding the
Issue Date, unless such Issue Date be an interest payment
date to which interest is being paid on the bonds of the
54th Series, in which case it shall bear interest from its
Issue Date or unless the Issue Date be the record date for
the interest payment date first following the date of
original issuance of bonds of the 54th Series (the "Original
Issue Date"), or a date prior to such record date, then from
the Original Issue Date; provided that, so long as there is
no existing default in the payment of interest on said
bonds, the owner of any bond authenticated by the Corporate
Trustee between the record date for any regular semi-annual
interest payment date and such interest payment date shall
not be entitled to the payment of the interest due on such
interest payment date (other than interest payable upon
redemption) and shall have no claim against the Company with
respect thereto; provided further, that, if and to the
extent the Company shall default in the payment of the
interest due on such interest payment date, then any such
bond shall bear interest from the May 1 or November 1, as
the case may be, next preceding its Issue Date, to which
interest has been paid or, if the Company shall be in
default with respect to the interest payment date first
following the Original Issue Date, then from the Original
Issue Date.
If any semi-annual interest payment date, redemption
date, or the maturity date is not a Business Day, payment of
amounts due on such date may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and, if such payment is made or duly provided
for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on such
amounts for the period from and after such interest payment
date, redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may
be, to such Business Day.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14 of this
Indenture, the bonds of the 54th Series shall be executed on
behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, by its
President or by one of its Vice Presidents or by one of its
officers designated by the Board of Directors of the Company
for such purpose, whose signature may be a facsimile, and
its corporate seal shall be thereunto affixed or printed
thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries, and the provisions of the penultimate
sentence of said Section 14 shall be applicable to such
bonds of the 54th Series.
The bonds of the 54th Series are not redeemable prior
to their maturity.
The Company shall not be required to make transfers or
exchanges of bonds of the 54th Series for a period of
fifteen days next preceding any selection of bonds of the
54th Series to be redeemed or to make transfers or exchanges
of any bonds of the 54th Series designated in whole or in
part for redemption. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 12 of this Indenture, the Company shall not be
required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of the 54th
Series for a period of fifteen days next preceding any
interest payment date.
Registered bonds of the 54th Series shall be
transferable upon presentation and surrender thereof, for
cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at such
other office or agency of the Company as the Company may
from time to time designate, by the registered owners
thereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, in the
manner and upon payment, if required by the Company, of the
charges prescribed in this Indenture. In the manner and
upon payment, if required by the Company, of the charges
prescribed in this Indenture, registered bonds of the 54th
Series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of registered bonds of the 54th Series of other
authorized denominations, upon presentation and surrender
thereof, for cancellation, at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
or at such other office or agency of the Company as the
Company may from time to time designate.
Section 2. Initial Issuance of the Bonds of the 54th Series:
In accordance with and upon compliance with such provisions
of the Original Indenture as shall be selected for such purpose
by the officers of the Company duly authorized to take such
action, bonds of the 54th Series, in an aggregate principal
amount not exceeding $21,000,000, shall forthwith be executed by
the Company and delivered to the Trustee and shall be
authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon the order
of the Company (without awaiting the filing and recording of this
First 1994 Supplemental Indenture except to the extent required
by subdivision (10) of Section 29 of the Original Indenture).
Section 3. At any meeting of bondholders held as provided for
in Article XX of the Original Indenture at which owners of bonds
of the 54th Series are entitled to vote, all owners of bonds of
the 54th Series at the time of such meeting shall be entitled to
vote thereat; provided, however, that the Trustee may, and upon
request of the Company or of a majority of the bondowners of the
54th Series, shall, fix a day not exceeding ninety days preceding
the date for which the meeting is called as a record date for the
determination of owners of bonds of the 54th Series, entitled to
notice of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof
and only such registered owners who shall have been such
registered owners on the date so fixed, and who are entitled to
vote such bonds of the 54th Series at the meeting, shall be
entitled to receive notice of such meeting.
Section 4. As supplemented by this First 1994 Supplemental
Indenture, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and
confirmed and the Original Indenture and this First 1994
Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one
and the same instrument. The bonds of the 54th Series are the
original debt secured by this First 1994 Supplemental Indenture
and the Original Indenture, and this First 1994 Supplemental
Indenture and the Original Indenture shall be, and shall be
deemed to be, the original lien instrument securing the bonds of
the 54th Series.
Section 5. Nothing contained in this First 1994 Supplemental
Indenture shall, or shall be construed to, confer upon any person
other than the owners of bonds issued under the Original

This bond is one of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the
Company, issuable in series, and is one of a series known as its
First Mortgage Bonds, of the series designated in its title, all
bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally
secured (except in so far as any sinking fund, established in
accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter
mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any
particular series and except as provided in Section 73 of the
Mortgage) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with
all indentures supplemental thereto, called the Mortgage), dated
as of December 1, 1940, executed by APPALACHIAN ELECTRIC POWER
COMPANY (the corporate title of which was changed to APPALACHIAN
POWER COMPANY) to BANKERS TRUST COMPANY, as Trustee, to which
Mortgage reference is made for a description of the property
mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the
rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Trustee in respect
thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms
and conditions upon which the bonds are secured. With the
consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as
provided in the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the
Company and/or of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and/or of any
instruments supplemental thereto may be modified or altered by
affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five per
centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds affected by such
modification or alteration, then outstanding under the Mortgage
(excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the
Company's interest therein as provided in the Mortgage); provided
that, without the consent of the owner hereof no such
modification or alteration shall permit the extension of the
maturity of the principal of or interest on this bond or the
reduction in the rate of interest hereon or any other
modification in the terms of payment of such principal or
interest or the creation of a lien on the mortgaged and pledged
property ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the
Mortgage or the deprivation of the owner hereof of a lien upon
such property or reduce the above percentage.
As provided in said Mortgage, said bonds may be for various
principal sums and are issuable in series, which may mature at
different times, may bear interest at different rates and may
otherwise vary as therein provided, and this bond is one of a
series entitled "First Mortgage Bonds, Designated Secured Medium
Term Notes, 7.70% Series due September 1, 2004 (herein called
"bonds of the 54th Series") created by an Indenture Supplemental
to Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated as of August 15, 1994 (the
"First 1994 Supplemental Indenture"), as provided for in said
Mortgage.
The interest payable on any May 1 or November 1 (other than
interest payable upon redemption) will, subject to certain
exceptions provided in said First 1994 Supplemental Indenture, be
paid to the person in whose name this bond is registered at the
close of business on the record date, which shall be the April 15
or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding such interest
payment date, or, if such April 15 or October 15 is not a
Business Day (as hereinbelow defined), the next preceding
Business Day. Interest payable upon redemption or maturity shall
be payable to the person to whom the principal is paid. The term
"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday,
which is not a day on which banking institutions or trust
companies in The City of New York, New York or the city in which
is located any office or agency maintained for the payment of
principal or premium, if any, or interest on bonds of the 54th
Series are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive
order to remain closed.
If any semi-annual interest payment date, redemption date or
the maturity date is not a Business Day, payment of amounts due
on such date may be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such
Business Day, no interest shall accrue on such amounts for the
period from and after such interest payment date, redemption date
or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.
The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in
whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof
for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of
principal or (subject to the provisions hereof) interest hereon
and for all other purposes and the Company and the Trustee shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Company shall not be required to make transfers or
exchanges of bonds of the 54th Series for a period of fifteen
days next preceding any interest payment date, or next preceding
any selection of bonds of the 54th Series to be redeemed, and the
Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of
any bonds of the 54th Series designated for redemption in whole
or in part.
The bonds of the 54th Series are not redeemable by the
Company prior to their maturity.
The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior
to the express date of the maturity hereof on the conditions, in
the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the
occurrence of a completed default as in the Mortgage provided.
This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by
the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized
attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at such other office or
agency of the Company as the Company may designate, upon
surrender and cancellation of this bond and upon payment, if the
Company shall require it, of the transfer charges prescribed in
the Mortgage, and, thereupon, a new registered bond or bonds of
authorized denominations of the same series for a like principal
amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as
provided in the Mortgage. In the manner and upon payment, if the
Company shall require it, of the charges prescribed in the
Mortgage, registered bonds of the 54th Series may be exchanged
for a like aggregate principal amount of registered bonds of
other authorized denominations of the same series, upon
presentation and surrender thereof, for cancellation, at the
office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the
Company as the Company may from time to time designate.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of
or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past,
present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of
the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any successor corporation, under any rule
of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any
assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators,
stockholders, officers and directors, as such, being waived and
released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this
bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the
Mortgage.
This bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any
purpose until BANKERS TRUST COMPANY, the Trustee under the
Mortgage, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form
of Authentication Certificate endorsed hereon.
In Witness Whereof, Appalachian Power Company has caused
this bond to be executed in its name by the signature of its
