Trust Indenture Trustee has terminated proceedings to enforce
any right under the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture, then any
Redemption Demand shall thereby be rescinded by the Strategic
Fund Trust Indenture Trustee, and no Demand Redemption Notice
shall be given, or, if already given, shall be automatically
annulled; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to
or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent

Article VI of said Indenture) by an Indenture, dated as of
October 1, 1924, duly executed by the Company to Bankers Trust
Company, a corporation of the State of New York, as Trustee, to

percent (85%) in amount of the series of bonds so to be
affected (excluding in every instance bonds disqualified from
voting by reason of the Company's interest therein as specified
in the Indenture); provided, however, that, without the consent

among other things, affect the terms of payment of the
principal of or the interest on this bond, which in those
respects is unconditional.

amount of such Strategic Fund Revenue Bonds and having both a
corresponding maturity date and interest rate shall, to the
extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be
deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder
to make such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged,

cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the
Trustee.

person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, on the
books of the Company kept at its office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, upon
surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new

[FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND]
This bond is one of an authorized issue of bonds of the
Company, unlimited as to amount except as provided in the
Indenture hereinafter mentioned or any indentures supplemental
thereto, and is one of a series of General and Refunding
Mortgage Bonds known as 1999 Series CP, limited to an aggregate
principal amount of $66,565,000, except as otherwise provided
in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned. This bond and all other
bonds of said series are issued and to be issued under, and are
all equally and ratably secured (except insofar as any sinking,
amortization, improvement or analogous fund, established in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter
mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any
particular series and except as provided in Section 3 of
Article VI of said Indenture) by an Indenture, dated as of
October 1, 1924, duly executed by the Company to Bankers Trust
Company, a corporation of the State of New York, as Trustee, to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
(including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 1,
1999) reference is hereby made for a description of the
properties and franchises mortgaged and conveyed, the nature
and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which
the bonds are issued and under which additional bonds may be
issued, and the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the
Trustee in respect of such security (which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental
Indenture dated as of August 1, 1999, are hereinafter
collectively called the "Indenture"). As provided in the
Indenture, 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 in
said Indenture provided. With the consent of the Company and to
the extent permitted by and as provided in the Indenture, the
rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the
bonds and the terms and provisions of the Indenture, or of any
indenture supplemental thereto, may be modified or altered in
certain respects by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five
percent (85%) in amount of the bonds then outstanding, and, if
the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds
then outstanding are to be affected by the action proposed to
be taken, then also by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five
percent (85%) in amount of the series of bonds so to be
affected (excluding in every instance bonds disqualified from
voting by reason of the Company's interest therein as specified
in the Indenture); provided, however, that, without the consent
of the holder hereof, no such modification or alteration shall,
among other things, affect the terms of payment of the
principal of or the interest on this bond, which in those
respects is unconditional.
This bond is redeemable upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption upon
demand of the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture Trustee following
the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Strategic Fund
Trust Indenture and the acceleration of the principal of the
Strategic Fund Revenue Bonds.
This bond is revocable, at the option of the Company,
pursuant to the provisions of the Strategic Fund Trust
Indenture and cancellation thereupon as provided in the
Indenture.
Under the Indenture, funds may be deposited with the Trustee
(which shall have become available for payment), in advance of
the redemption date of any of the bonds of 1999 Series CP (or
portions thereof), in trust for the redemption of such bonds
(or portions thereof) and the interest due or to become due
thereon, and thereupon all obligations of the Company in
respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed
and such interest shall cease and be discharged, and the
holders thereof shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to
such funds for any and all claims of whatsoever nature on their
part under the Indenture or with respect to such bonds (or
portions thereof) and interest.
31
28
In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture,
shall occur, the principal of all the bonds issued thereunder
may become or be declared due and payable, in the manner, with
the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the
Indenture.
Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Strategic Fund Revenue Bonds, whether at
maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise or
upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in
accordance with the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture, bonds of
1999 Series CP in a principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Strategic Fund Revenue Bonds and having both a
corresponding maturity date and interest rate shall, to the
extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be
deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder
to make such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged,
and, in the case of the payment of principal and premium, if
any, such bonds of said series shall be surrendered for
cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the
Trustee.
This bond of 1999 Series CP shall be revoked upon surrender
to the Trustee by the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture Trustee,
and upon such revocation as provided in the Indenture, the
obligation of the Company thereunder to make any payments on
this bond shall forthwith cease and be discharged.
This bond is not assignable or transferable except as may be
required to effect a transfer to any successor trustee under
the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture, or, subject to compliance
with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the
exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of
Default under the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture. Any such
transfer shall be made by the registered holder hereof, in
person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, on the
books of the Company kept at its office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, upon
surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new
registered bond of the same series of authorized denominations
for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
transferee in exchange therefor, and this bond with others in
like form may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new
bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations, but
of the same aggregate principal amount, all as provided and
upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and
upon payment, in any event, of the charges prescribed in the
Indenture.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of
or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon or
otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, or of any
indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or
against any past, present or future stockholder, director or
officer, as such, of the Company, or of any predecessor or
successor corporation, either directly or through the Company
or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for
amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of
any assessment or penalty or otherwise howsoever; all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and
released by every holder or owner hereof, as more fully
provided in the Indenture.
