established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company; that the
form of such series, as established by said Board of Directors, shall specify
the descriptive title of the bonds and various other terms thereof; and that

Resolution as provided in Section 8 of the Mortgage) establish the terms and
provisions of any series of bonds other than the First Series, by an instrument

situated; and the Trustee is further authorized by said Section 120 to join with
the Company in the execution of such instrument or instruments, and such

to the contrary not withstanding, said Section 120 shall not be construed to
permit any act, waiver, surrender or restriction adversely affecting any bonds
then Outstanding under the Mortgage; and
WHEREAS, in Section 42 of the Mortgage the Original Mortgagor
covenanted that it would execute and deliver such supplemental indenture or
indentures and such further instruments and do such further acts as might be
necessary or proper to carry out more effectually the purposes of the Mortgage

attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York. Upon any transfer or exchange of bonds of the Sixty-first
Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for
any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the
Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition
thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Sixty-first Series.
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the
Company to pay the principal of the bonds of the Sixty-first Series as the same
shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged
unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the trustee under
the Company's Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of January 9, 1989, as
amended and supplemented, to Chemical Bank, as trustee, signed by the President,
a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer of such
trustee, stating that interest or principal due and payable on any bonds issued
under said Mortgage and Deed of Trust has not been fully paid and specifying the
amount of funds required to make such payment.
Bonds of the Sixty-first Series shall be initially issued in the
name of Chemical Bank, as trustee under the Company's Mortgage and Deed of
Trust, dated as of January 9, 1989, as amended and supplemented, and shall not
be transferable, except to any successor trustee under said Mortgage and Deed of
Trust.
13
After the execution and delivery of this Fifty-fourth
Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Mortgage, as supplemented, it is contemplated that there shall be issued bonds
of the Sixty-first Series in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed One
Hundred Fifteen Million Two Hundred Seventy-Three Thousand Five Hundred and
