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, 7.50% Series Due 2009 (the "Bonds of the 2009 Series") of the Company, unlimited in aggregate principal amount, issued under and secured by the Indenture and described in the supplemental indenture dated as of June 15, 1999 (the "Supplemental Indenture of June 15, 1999"), between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Indenture. The Bonds of the 2009 Series are subject to redemption on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Supplemental Indenture of June 15, 1999. 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 67 affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on this First Mortgage Bond. 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 may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the 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 The Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be rescinded by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.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. Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture of June 15, 1999 or this First Mortgage Bond to the contrary, any payment by the Company under the New Mortgage of principal of, or interest on, bonds which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the New Mortgage (the "New Mortgage Bonds of the 2009 Series") upon the basis of the issuance and delivery to the New Mortgage Trustee of the Bonds of the 2009 Series shall, to the extent thereof, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company to make a payment of principal or interest, as the case may be, in respect of this First Mortgage Bond which is then due.

ARTICLE II. ISSUE OF BONDS OF THE 2009 SERIES. SECTION 1. The Company hereby exercises the right to obtain the authentication of $250,000,000 principal amount of additional Bonds pursuant to the terms of Section 6 of Article III of the Original Indenture in substitution for refundable Bonds.

ARTICLE III. REDEMPTION. The Company at its option may, at any time, redeem the Bonds of the 2009 Series, in whole or in part (if in part, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair or appropriate) prior to maturity, on any date, upon payment of a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the 2009 Series to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, from the last interest payment date to the date of 69 redemption, or (ii) the Make Whole Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from the last interest payment date to the redemption date. "Make Whole Amount" means, with respect to a Bond of the 2009 Series at any time, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) discounted, on a semiannual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points. The Make Whole Amount shall be computed as of the third Business Day prior to the applicable redemption date, and certified, by an Investment Banker (as defined below). "Investment Banker" means an independent investment banking institution of good standing selected by the Company. "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means the remaining scheduled payment of the principal and interest that would be due if such Bonds of the 2009 Series were not redeemed. However, if the redemption date is not a scheduled interest payment date, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on such Bond of the 2009 Series will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such New Mortgage Bonds of the 2009 Series to such redemption date. "Treasury Rate" means an annual rate equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price (as defined below) for the redemption date. The semiannual equivalent yield to maturity will be computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date. "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by Salomon Smith Barney Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or their affiliates as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of the 2009 Series 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 the 2009 Series. "Comparable Treasury Price" means the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) obtained by the Trustee for the redemption date. "Reference Treasury Dealers" means Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (so long as they continue to be primary U.S. Government securities dealers) and any one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer chosen by the Company. If either Salomon Smith Barney Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, the Company will appoint in its place another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a 70 percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by a Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date. ARTICLE IV. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts hereby declared and provided, and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions in the Original Indenture set forth and upon the following terms and conditions: The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or the due execution hereof by the Company or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made by the Company solely.
