B. Under the Mortgage Indenture, the Company is authorized to issue unlimited series of Bonds and establish one or more series of Bonds at any time in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, and the terms of such series of Bonds may be described by a supplemental indenture executed by the Company and the Trustee.

C. Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Mortgage Indenture, the Company and the Trustee deem it advisable to enter into this First Supplemental Indenture for the purposes of establishing the terms of six series of Bonds.

D. The execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture has been authorized by a Board Resolution (as defined in the Mortgage Indenture).

E. Concurrent with the execution hereof, the Company has caused its counsel to deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (as defined in the Mortgage Indenture) pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Mortgage Indenture.

The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Benchmark” means, initially, three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

| (1) | the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

| (2) | the sum of (a) Compounded SOFR and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

2

| (5) | the sum of (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company (or the Designee) as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate securities at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

ARTICLE II

ESTABLISHMENT OF FLOATING RATE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS DUE 2022

SECTION 201 Establishment and Designation of the Floating Rate Bonds.

Pursuant to the terms hereof and Section 3.01 and Article V of the Mortgage Indenture, the Company hereby establishes the Bonds of the first series as the “Floating Rate First Mortgage Bonds due 2022” (“Floating Rate Bonds”). The Floating Rate Bonds may be reopened, from time to time, for issuances of additional Bonds of such series subject to the terms of Article V of the Mortgage Indenture, and any additional Bonds issued and comprising Floating Rate Bonds shall have identical terms as the Floating Rate Bonds, except that the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first Interest Payment Date may differ.

8

SECTION 202 Form of Floating Rate Bonds.

The Floating Rate Bonds shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A.

SECTION 203 Principal Amount.

The Floating Rate Bonds shall be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000.

SECTION 204 Stated Maturity; Minimum Denominations.

The Floating Rate Bonds shall have a Stated Maturity of June 16, 2022.

The Floating Rate Bonds are issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 205 Interest.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 205, the Floating Rate Bonds will bear interest for each interest period at a rate determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below). The Calculation Agent is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., until such time as the Company appoints a successor calculation agent (herein called the “Calculation Agent”, which term includes any successor Calculation Agent under the Mortgage Indenture). The interest rate for the Floating Rate Bonds (the “Interest Rate”) for a particular interest period will be a per annum rate equal to LIBOR as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) by the Calculation Agent plus 1.48% (the “Margin”). The Interest Rate on the Floating Rate Bonds will be reset on the first day of each interest period other than the initial interest period (each an “Interest Reset Date”). Interest on the Floating Rate Bonds will be payable quarterly March 16, June 16, September 16 and December 16 of each year, beginning September 16, 2020. An interest period is the period commencing on an Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the initial interest period, commencing on June 19, 2020) and ending on the day preceding the next Interest Payment Date.

The interest determination date for an interest period will be the second London Business Day preceding such interest period (the “Interest Determination Date”). Promptly upon determination, the Calculation Agent will inform the Trustee and the Company, or as set forth in this Section 205, the Company or its designee (which may be an independent financial advisor or such other designee of the Company (any of such entities, a “Designee”)) will inform the Trustee, of the Interest Rate for the next interest period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the Interest Rate by the Calculation Agent, or as set forth in this Section 205, by the Company (or the Designee), shall be binding and conclusive on the Holders of the Floating Rate Bonds, the Trustee and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Calculation Agent or the Trustee be the Designee.

9

In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible for determining any substitute for LIBOR, or for making any adjustments to any alternative benchmark or spread thereon, the business day convention, interest determination dates or any other relevant methodology for calculating any such substitute or successor benchmark. In connection with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determinations made by the Company (or the Designee) and shall have no liability for such actions taken at the direction of the Company.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company (or the Designee) in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement, including any determination with respect to a rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Company’s (or the Designee’s) sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, will become effective without consent from any other party. None of the Trustee or the Calculation Agent will have any liability for any determination made by or on behalf of the Company (or the Designee) in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement.

On any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date.

(b) Upon written request from any Holder of Floating Rate Bonds, the Calculation Agent will provide the Interest Rate in effect for the Floating Rate Bonds for the current interest period and, if it has been determined, the Interest Rate to be in effect for the next interest period.

(c) All percentages resulting from any calculation of any Interest Rate for the Floating Rate Bonds will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

(d) The Interest Rate on the Floating Rate Bonds will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application. Additionally, the Interest Rate on the Floating Rate Bonds will in no event be lower than zero.

(e) Interest on the Floating Rate Bonds will accrue from June 19, 2020, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for. If any Interest Payment Date (other than the maturity date) falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the interest payment will be made on the next preceding Business Day, in each case with interest accruing to the applicable Interest Payment Date (as so adjusted). If the maturity date of the Floating Rate Bonds falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the next day that is a Business Day with the same effect as if made on the date that the payment was first due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from the maturity date. Interest on the Floating Rate Bonds will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in each quarterly interest period and a 360-day year.

10

(f) If LIBOR cannot be determined on the Interest Determination Date as described in Section 205(a), the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Company for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; provided that if the banks selected by the Company are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date or if there is no immediately preceding Interest Reset Date, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the initial interest period.

(g) Notwithstanding Sections 205(e) and 205(f), if the Company (or the Designee) determines on or prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then current Benchmark, then (i) the Company shall promptly provide notice of such determination to the Calculation Agent and (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 205(h) will thereafter apply to all determinations, calculations and quotations made or obtained for the purposes of calculating the rate and amount of interest payable on the Floating Rate Bonds during the relevant interest period. In accordance with Section 205(h), after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each interest period on the Floating Rate Bonds will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the Margin as determined by the Company or its Designee.

The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company (or the Designee) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, but for any reason the Benchmark Replacement has not been determined as of the relevant Interest Determination Date, the Interest Rate for the applicable interest period will be equal to the Interest Rate on the last Interest Determination Date for the Floating Rate Bonds, as determined by the Company or its Designee.

The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of the Floating Rate Bonds, provide the Interest Rate then in effect with respect to the Floating Rate Bonds. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence of manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holders of the Floating Rate Bonds.

11

(h) If the Company (or the Designee) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Floating Rate Bonds in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company (or the Designee) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

Any determination, decision, election or calculation that may be made by the Company (or the Designee) pursuant to this Section 205(h), including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in the Company’s (or the Designee’s) sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Floating Rate Bonds, shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Floating Rate Bonds or any other party.

SECTION 206 No Sinking Fund.

No sinking fund is provided for any of the Floating Rate Bonds.

SECTION 207 Paying Agent and Bond Registrar.

The Trustee is hereby appointed as initial Paying Agent and initial Bond Registrar for the Floating Rate Bonds. The Place of Payment of the Floating Rate Bonds shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

SECTION 208 Global Securities; Appointment of Depositary for Global Securities.

The Floating Rate Bonds shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Bonds as provided in Section 3.14 of the Mortgage Indenture and deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, or with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee.

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Bonds of the series designated as Bonds of the Floating Rate First Mortgage Bonds due 2022 referred to in the within-mentioned Mortgage Indenture.

|  | THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Trustee
By: |  |
|  | Authorized Signatory

Dated:

[FORM OF REVERSE OF FLOATING RATE FIRST MORTGAGE BOND DUE 2022]

This Floating Rate First Mortgage Bond due 2022 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”), issued and issuable in one or more series under and equally secured by an Indenture of Mortgage, dated as of June 19, 2020 (such Mortgage Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the “Mortgage Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Mortgage Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security and the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Bond shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Indenture.

The Bonds of this series are subject to Special Redemption in whole on the Special Redemption Date in the event that the Mandatory Redemption Event occurs at the Special Redemption Price. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Bonds, except pursuant to Sections 801(a) or (b) of the First Supplemental Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Bonds of this series are also redeemable at the option of the Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, at any time after June 16, 2021 at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be sent not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds of this series to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Bonds of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bonds of this series or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. The Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Bond in part only, a new Bond or Bonds of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

Except as set forth below, this Bond will bear interest for each interest period at a rate determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below). The Calculation Agent is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., until such time as the Company appoints a successor calculation agent (herein called the “Calculation Agent”, which term includes any successor Calculation Agent under the Mortgage Indenture). Interest payments on this Bond will be made quarterly in arrears on March 16, February 1, September 16 and August 1 of each year, beginning

on September 16, 2020, and on February 1, 2022. The interest rate for this Bond (the “Interest Rate”) for a particular interest period will be a per annum rate equal to LIBOR as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) by the Calculation Agent plus 1.48% (the “Margin”). The Interest Rate on this Bond will be reset on the first day of each interest period other than the initial interest period (each an “Interest Reset Date”). Interest on this Bond will be payable quarterly March 16, June 16, September 16 and December 16 of each year, beginning September 16, 2020. An interest period is the period commencing on an Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the initial interest period, commencing on June 19, 2020) and ending on the day preceding the next Interest Payment Date.

The interest determination date for an interest period will be the second London Business Day preceding such interest period (the “Interest Determination Date”). Promptly upon determination, the Calculation Agent will inform the Trustee and the Company or its designee (which may be an independent financial advisor or such other designee of the Company (any of such entities, a “Designee”)) will inform the Trustee, of the Interest Rate for the next interest period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the Interest Rate by the Calculation Agent, or in certain circumstances described below, by the Company (or the Designee), shall be binding and conclusive on the Holders of the Bonds of this series, the Trustee and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Calculation Agent or the Trustee be the Designee. A “London Business Day” is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible for determining any substitute for LIBOR, or for making any adjustments to any alternative benchmark or spread thereon, the business day convention, interest determination dates or any other relevant methodology for calculating any such substitute or successor benchmark. In connection with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determinations made by the Company (or the Designee) and shall have no liability for such actions taken at the direction of the Company.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company (or the Designee) in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement, including any determination with respect to a rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Company’s (or the Designee’s) sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, will become effective without consent from any other party. None of the Trustee or the Calculation Agent will have any liability for any determination made by or on behalf of the Company (or the Designee) in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement.

On any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date.

Upon written request from any Holder of the Bonds of this series, the Calculation Agent will provide the Interest Rate in effect for the Bonds of this series for the current interest period and, if it has been determined, the Interest Rate to be in effect for the next interest period.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any Interest Rate for the Bonds of this series will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

The Interest Rate on the Bonds of this series will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application. Additionally, the Interest Rate on the Bonds of this series will in no event be lower than zero.

Interest on the Bonds of this series will accrue from June 19, 2020, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for. If any Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the interest payment will be made on the next preceding Business Day, in each case with interest accruing to the applicable Interest Payment Date (as so adjusted). If the Maturity Date of the Bonds of this series falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the next day that is a Business Day with the same effect as if made on the date that the payment was first due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from the Maturity Date. Interest on the Bonds of this series will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in each quarterly interest period and a 360-day year.

If LIBOR cannot be determined on the Interest Determination Date as described above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Company for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; provided that if the banks selected by the Company are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date or if there is no immediately preceding Interest Reset Date, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the initial interest period.

Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, if the Company (or the Designee) determines on or prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then current Benchmark, then the provisions set forth below under “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event”, which is referred to as the “Benchmark Transition Provisions,” will thereafter apply to all determinations, calculations and quotations made or obtained for the purposes of calculating the rate and amount of interest payable on the bonds of this series during the relevant interest period. In accordance with the Benchmark Transition Provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each interest period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the Margin.

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event:

If the Company (or the Designee) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Bonds of this series in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company (or the Designee) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

Any determination, decision, election or calculation that may be made by the Company (or the Designee) pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event”, including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in the Company’s (or the Designee’s) sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Securities, shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Bonds of this series or any other party.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in the Mortgage Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Mortgage Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Mortgage Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Mortgage Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Mortgage Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Mortgage Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Mortgage Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Holder of this Bond shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Bond for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Mortgage Indenture and no provision of this Bond or of the Mortgage Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Bonds of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Bonds of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Bond of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers (or with respect to Global Bonds, CUSIP numbers) of the Bonds of this series called for redemption, or (B) any Bond of this series selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond of this series being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Mortgage Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Mortgage Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Mortgage Indenture and the issuance of this Bond.

All terms used in this Bond which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Mortgage Indenture.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF 1.75% FIRST MORTGAGE BOND DUE 2022]

This 1.75% First Mortgage Bond due 2022 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”), issued and issuable in one or more series under and equally secured by an Indenture of Mortgage, dated as of June 19, 2020 (such Mortgage Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the “Mortgage Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Mortgage Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security and the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Bond shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Indenture.

The Bonds of this series are subject to Special Redemption in whole on the Special Redemption Date in the event that the Mandatory Redemption Event occurs at the Special Redemption Price. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Bonds, except pursuant to Sections 801(a) or (b) of the First Supplemental Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Bonds of this series are also redeemable at the option of the Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part (a) at any time after the Escrow Release Date and prior to June 16, 2021 (the “Par Call Date”) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Bonds to be redeemed; or

(ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of this series to be redeemed that would be due if the Bonds of this series matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; and (b) at any time on or after the Par Call Date, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the United States Treasury security selected by the applicable Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed (assuming, for such purpose, that the Bonds of this series matured on the Par Call Date (the “remaining term”)), that would be used, 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 such series of Bonds to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date:

| (1) | the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

| (2) | if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for the Bonds.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and (2) one other primary dealer in certain U.S. government securities selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that Redemption Date.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Bonds of this series, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Mortgage Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be sent not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds of this series to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Bonds of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bonds of this series or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. The Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Bond in part only, a new Bond or Bonds of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in the Mortgage Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Mortgage Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Mortgage Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Mortgage Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Mortgage Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Mortgage Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Mortgage Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Holder of this Bond shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Bond for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Mortgage Indenture and no provision of this Bond or of the Mortgage Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Bonds of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Bonds of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Bond of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers (or with respect to Global Bonds, CUSIP numbers) of the Bonds of this series called for redemption, or (B) any Bond of this series selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond of this series being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Mortgage Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Mortgage Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Mortgage Indenture and the issuance of this Bond.

All terms used in this Bond which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Mortgage Indenture.

| (3) | the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

| (4) | if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for the Bonds.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and (2) one other primary dealer in certain U.S. government securities selected by the Company.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Bonds of this series, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Mortgage Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be sent not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds of this series to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Bonds of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bonds of this series or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. The Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Bond in part only, a new Bond or Bonds of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in the Mortgage Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Mortgage Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Mortgage Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Mortgage Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Mortgage Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Mortgage Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Mortgage Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Holder of this Bond shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Bond for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Mortgage Indenture and no provision of this Bond or of the Mortgage Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Bonds of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Bonds of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Bond of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers (or with respect to Global Bonds, CUSIP numbers) of the Bonds of this series called for redemption, or (B) any Bond of this series selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond of this series being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Mortgage Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Mortgage Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Mortgage Indenture and the issuance of this Bond.

All terms used in this Bond which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Mortgage Indenture.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Mortgage Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount stated above on the Maturity Date stated above, and to pay interest thereon from and including the Original Issue Date stated above or, in the case of a 2.50% First Mortgage Bond Due 2031 issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange, from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates set forth above and on the Maturity Date stated above at the rate of 2.50% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Mortgage Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 2.50% First Mortgage Bond Due 2031 (this “Bond”) (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be January 15 and July 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at the Maturity Date or on a Redemption Date will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, as set forth in Section 3.07 of the Mortgage Indenture, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Bonds of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the Mortgage Indenture and any securities exchange, if any, on which the Bonds of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Mortgage Indenture.

Interest payments for this Bond shall be computed and paid on the basis of the 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF THE 2.50% FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS DUE 2031]

This 2.50% First Mortgage Bond due 2031 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”), issued and issuable in one or more series under and equally secured by an Indenture of Mortgage, dated as of June 19, 2020 (such Mortgage Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the “Mortgage Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Mortgage Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security and the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Bond shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Indenture.

The Bonds of this series are subject to Special Redemption in whole on the Special Redemption Date in the event that the Mandatory Redemption Event occurs at the Special Redemption Price. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Bonds, except pursuant to Sections 801(a) or (b) of the First Supplemental Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Bonds of this series are also redeemable at the option of the Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part (a) at any time after the Escrow Release Date and prior to November 1, 2030 (the “Par Call Date”) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(v) 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Bonds to be redeemed; or

(vi) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of this series to be redeemed that would be due if the Bonds of this series matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; and (b) at any time on or after the Par Call Date, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the United States Treasury security selected by the applicable Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed (assuming, for such purpose, that the Bonds of this series matured on the Par Call Date (the “remaining term”)), that would be used, 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 such series of Bonds to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date:

| (5) | the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

| (6) | if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for the Bonds.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and (2) one other primary dealer in certain U.S. government securities selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that Redemption Date.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Bonds of this series, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Mortgage Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be sent not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds of this series to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Bonds of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bonds of this series or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. The Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Bond in part only, a new Bond or Bonds of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in the Mortgage Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Mortgage Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Mortgage Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Mortgage Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Mortgage Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Mortgage Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Mortgage Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Holder of this Bond shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Bond for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Mortgage Indenture and no provision of this Bond or of the Mortgage Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Bond of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers (or with respect to Global Bonds, CUSIP numbers) of the Bonds of this series called for redemption, or (B) any Bond of this series selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond of this series being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Mortgage Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Mortgage Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Mortgage Indenture and the issuance of this Bond.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND OF THE 3.30% FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS DUE 2040]

This 3.30% First Mortgage Bond due 2040 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”), issued and issuable in one or more series under and equally secured by an Indenture of Mortgage, dated as of June 19, 2020 (such Mortgage Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the “Mortgage Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Mortgage Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security and the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Bond shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Indenture.

The Bonds of this series are subject to Special Redemption in whole on the Special Redemption Date in the event that the Mandatory Redemption Event occurs at the Special Redemption Price. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Bonds, except pursuant to Sections 801(a) or (b) of the First Supplemental Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Bonds of this series are also redeemable at the option of the Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part (a) at any time after the Escrow Release Date and prior to February 1, 2040 (the “Par Call Date”) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(vii) 100% of the principal amount of the 2040 Bonds to be redeemed; or

(viii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of this series to be redeemed that would be due if the Bonds of this series matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; and (b) at any time on or after the Par Call Date, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the United States Treasury security selected by the applicable Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of this series to be redeemed (assuming, for such purpose, that the Bonds of this series matured on the Par Call Date (the “remaining term”)), that would be used, 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 such series of Bonds to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date:

| (7) | the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

| (8) | if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for the Bonds.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and (2) one other primary dealer in certain U.S. government securities selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that Redemption Date.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Bonds of this series, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Mortgage Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be sent not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds of this series to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Bonds of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bonds of this series or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. The Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Bond in part only, a new Bond or Bonds of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in the Mortgage Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Mortgage Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Mortgage Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Mortgage Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Mortgage Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Mortgage Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Mortgage Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Holder of this Bond shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Bond for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Mortgage Indenture and no provision of this Bond or of the Mortgage Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Bonds of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Bonds of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Bond of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers (or with respect to Global Bonds, CUSIP numbers) of the Bonds of this series called for redemption, or (B) any Bond of this series selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond of this series being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Mortgage Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Mortgage Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Mortgage Indenture and the issuance of this Bond.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Bonds of this series, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Mortgage Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be sent not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds of this series to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Bonds of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Bonds of this series or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. The Bonds of this series in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Bond in part only, a new Bond or Bonds of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in the Mortgage Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Mortgage Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Mortgage Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Mortgage Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Mortgage Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Mortgage Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Mortgage Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Holder of this Bond shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Bond for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Mortgage Indenture and no provision of this Bond or of the Mortgage Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Bond are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Bonds of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Bonds of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Bond of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers (or with respect to Global Bonds, CUSIP numbers) of the Bonds of this series called for redemption, or (B) any Bond of this series selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond of this series being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Mortgage Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Mortgage Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Mortgage Indenture and the issuance of this Bond.
