hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by
the Mortgage and Deed of Trust (the "Indenture"), dated November 1, 1943,

Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including
the Supplemental Indenture dated February 15, 1993, which amended Section 1 of
Article IX of the Indenture, reference is hereby made for a description of the
properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the
rights of the registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect
thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be,
secured. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may
mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may
otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This First Mortgage Bond is one of
a series designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, Pollution Control Series U (the
"Pollution Control Series U Bonds") of the Company, unlimited in aggregate
principal amount, issued under and secured by the Indenture and described in the

Indenture No. 1 of July 15, 1999"), between the Company and the Trustee,
supplemental to the Indenture.
To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture,
modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental
thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of
the Bonds and coupons may be made with the consent of the Company by an
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in amount of the Bonds
entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held
as provided in the Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of the holders of not
less than 66 2/3% in amount of the Bonds of any series entitled to vote then
outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more
but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Indenture
are so affected; provided however, that no such modification or alteration shall
be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest
or premium, if any, on this First Mortgage Bond.
92
The Pollution Control Series U Bonds are subject to redemption in
accordance with the terms of Article III of the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 of

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur,
the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Indenture

manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides
that such declaration may in certain events be rescinded by the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
premium or interest on this First Mortgage Bond, or for any claim based hereon
or on the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute, rule
of law, or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers
being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this First Mortgage
Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise
released by the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein
or in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto contained shall
prevent the enforcement of the liability, if any, of any stockholder or
subscriber to capital stock upon or in respect of shares of capital stock not
fully paid up.

Indenture No. 1 of July 15, 1999 or this First Mortgage Bond to the contrary,

interest on, bonds which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the
New Mortgage (the "New Mortgage Pollution Control Series U Bonds") upon the
basis of the issuance and delivery to the New Mortgage Trustee of the Pollution

discharge the obligation of the Company to make a payment of principal, premium
or interest, as the case may be, in respect of this First Mortgage Bond which is
then due.

the New Mortgage) and is subject to all of the rights and restrictions
applicable to Pledged Bonds as set forth in the New Mortgage. Without limiting

Pollution Control Series U Bonds are inconsistent with the provisions relating
to Pledged Bonds that are set forth in the New Mortgage, the provisions of the
New Mortgage shall apply.
