SECTION 4. Except as provided in this Section 4, the 2035 Bonds shall not be redeemable.

Upon the notice and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Mortgage and in this Section 4, the 2035 Bonds shall be redeemable by the Company prior to the maturity thereof out of monies deposited with the Trustee representing the proceeds of mortgaged and pledged property taken by the exercise of the power of eminent domain or otherwise as provided in paragraph B of Section 69 of the Mortgage, at the principal amount of the 2035 Bonds as to be redeemed and accrued interest to the date of redemption.

Upon the notice and in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 4, the 2035 Bonds shall be redeemable prior to May 15, 2035 (three months prior to the maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the 2035 Bonds matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

•

100% of the principal amount of the 2035 Bonds to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

As used in this Section 4, “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United

States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2035 Bonds, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2035 Bonds being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price in accordance with the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine or calculate the redemption price.

The notice required for the redemption of the 2035 Bonds shall be as provided in Section 59 of the Mortgage and applicable procedures of the Depositary. If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, such notice shall include the formula by which the redemption price will be determined and the actual redemption price, calculated as described in the terms of the 2035 Bonds, will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two business days prior to the redemption date.

Notice of any redemption of the 2035 Bonds may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of a corporate transaction (including a sale of the Company’s common stock, an incurrence of indebtedness or other corporate transaction) and any redemption notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price

and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person.

If fewer than all the 2035 Bonds are to be redeemed, selection of 2035 Bonds for redemption will be made by the Trustee in the manner specified in the Mortgage.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, from and after the date of redemption, the 2035 Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption will cease to bear interest, and the holders of the 2035 Bonds will have no right in respect of the 2035 Bonds except the right to receive the redemption price.

No sinking fund is provided for the 2035 Bonds.

SECTION 5. (a) The 2035 Bonds will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and except under the circumstances described in subsection (b)(2) or (b)(4) of this Section 5, the 2035 Bonds will be issued in global form only. The Company shall cause the agent for the registration, transfer and exchange named in Section 3(b) (the “Transfer Agent”) to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the 2035 Bonds, for registering the record ownership of 2035 Bonds by the holders thereof and transfers and exchanges of 2035 Bonds.

(b) (1) Each Global Bond will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereon will bear the DTC Legend.

(2) Each Global Bond will be delivered to the Transfer Agent as custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Bond (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (i) as set forth in Section 5(b)(4) and (ii) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Bonds may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Transfer Agent by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 6.

(3) Agent Members will have no rights under the Mortgage or this Seventy-Third Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Bond held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Bond for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee

may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person (including any Agent Member and any person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Bond through an Agent Member) to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under the Mortgage or this Seventy-Third Supplemental Indenture or the 2035 Bonds, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.

(4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Bond and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice, or (y) a completed default (as defined in the Mortgage) has occurred and is continuing and the Transfer Agent has received a request from the Depositary, or (z) the Company determines that the 2035 Bonds will no longer be represented by Global Bonds, the Company will prepare, execute and deliver to the Transfer Agent, and upon receipt the Transfer Agent will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in each Global Bond for one or more Certificated Bonds of the same series in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Transfer Agent by the Depositary, and thereupon each Global Bond will be deemed canceled. If a Global Bond does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Bonds issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If a Global Bond bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Bonds issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any holder of any such Certificated Bond issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Bond will have the right upon presentation to the Transfer Agent, with a copy to the Company, of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Bond for a Certificated Bond of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such holder, and the Company will prepare, execute and deliver such Certificated Bond to the Transfer Agent.

(c) A holder may transfer a 2035 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) to another person or exchange a 2035 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) for another 2035 Bond or 2035 Bonds of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Transfer Agent, with a copy to the Company, a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 6. The Company will prepare, execute and deliver such 2035 Bond to the Transfer Agent, and upon receipt the Transfer Agent will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the Register maintained by the Transfer Agent for the purpose; provided that

(x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in the Register and

(y) the Company and the Transfer Agent will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any 2035 Bond for a period of ten (10) days before any interest payment date of such bonds, (ii) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any 2035 Bond for a period of fifteen (15) days before a selection of 2035 Bonds to be redeemed or purchased, (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange any 2035 Bond so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any 2035 Bond not being redeemed or purchased, or (iv) if a redemption or a purchase is to occur after a record date but on or before the corresponding interest payment date, to register the transfer of or exchange any 2035 Bond on or after the record date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents will treat the person in whose name any 2035 Bond is registered as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the 2035 Bond is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.

(d) From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional 2035 Bonds as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.

(e) No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any 2035 Bond, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)).

(f) (1) If a beneficial interest in a Global Bond is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Bond, the Transfer Agent will (x) record a decrease upon its official records in the principal amount of the Global Bond being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) upon its official records record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Bond. Any beneficial interest in one Global Bond that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Bond, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Bond of the same series, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Bond and become an interest in the other Global Bond and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and

other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Bond for as long as it remains such an interest.

(2) If a Certificated Bond is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Bond, the Transfer Agent will (x) cancel the Certificated Bond being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Bonds in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the holder of the canceled Certificated Bond (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or holder, as applicable, and (if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Bond) deliver to the holder thereof one or more Certificated Bonds in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Bond, registered in the name of the holder thereof.

SECTION 6. (a) The transfer or exchange of any 2035 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 5 and, in the case of a Global Bond (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Transfer Agent shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.

(b) Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any 2035 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a 2035 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

(1) No certification is required.

(2) The person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Transfer Agent a duly completed Regulation S Certificate.

(3) The person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Transfer Agent (x) a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate or (y) a duly completed Regulation S Certificate, and/or (z) an opinion of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the holder of a 2035 Bond that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Transfer Agent or (ii) a 2035 Bond that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Transfer Agent will deliver a Certificated Bond that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

(4) The person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Transfer Agent a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate.

(c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any 2035 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein)

(1) after such 2035 Bond is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the Company has provided the Transfer Agent with an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Company may require from any person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (1) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate; or

(2) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement.

Any Certificated Bond delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend.

(d) The Transfer Agent will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a 2035 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Transfer Agent.

(e) Neither the Trustee nor the Transfer Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Mortgage or this Seventy-Third Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any 2035 Bonds (including any transfers between or among the Depositary’s participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Bond) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation, as is expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Seventy-Third Supplemental Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(f) The Company, the Trustee, and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to require the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required in order to determine that the proposed transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or rules or regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.

SECTION 7. (a) Each 2035 Bond originally sold by the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Bonds that bear the Temporary Offshore DTC Legend.

(b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Bond (or a person acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Transfer Agent (and the Transfer Agent will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the Transfer Agent will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period). Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Transfer Agent will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Bond, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Bond by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Bond by the amount of such beneficial interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, beneficial interests in a Temporary Offshore Global Bond may be held through the Depositary only through Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective direct and indirect participants.

SECTION 8. The 2035 Bonds, and the Trustee’s Certificate to be endorsed thereon, shall be in the following forms, respectively:

SECTION 10. The covenant of the Company to make annual payments to the Trustee for a Maintenance and Improvement Fund as contained in Section 41 of the Original Mortgage and in the first twenty-four Supplemental Indentures to the Original Mortgage creating the several series of First Mortgage Bonds under such Supplemental Indentures shall not apply to nor be for the benefit of the 2035 Bonds, and the Company reserves the right, without any consent of, or other action by, the holder of the 2035 Bonds, to amend, modify or delete the provisions of the Mortgage relating to such Maintenance and Improvement Fund and by acceptance of the 2035 Bonds the holder thereof waives any right or privilege so to consent or take any other action with respect thereto.

SECTION 12. The Company shall furnish to the holders or beneficial holders of the 2035 Bonds and prospective purchasers, upon their request, the information required under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act until such time as such 2035 Bonds are no longer “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, assuming these 2035 Bonds have not been owned by the Company or an affiliate of the Company.

SECTION 13. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts herein declared, provided and created and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein and in the Mortgage set forth and upon the following terms and conditions:

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

direction of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture unless and until such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee against the costs, expenses or liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee’s compliance with such request or direction.

The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to

safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.

SECTION 14. Whenever in this Seventy-Third Supplemental Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall, subject to the provisions of Article XVII of the Original Mortgage, be deemed to include the successors or assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in this Seventy-Third Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Trustee, shall, subject as aforesaid, bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of such parties, whether so expressed or not.

If we are a dealer or a person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration in respect of the Bonds, and the proposed transfer takes place during the Restricted Period (as defined in the Mortgage), or we are an officer or director of the Company or an Initial Purchaser (as defined in the Mortgage), we certify that the proposed transfer is being made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 904(b) of Regulation S.

□

were acting was excluded from the definition of “U.S. person” pursuant to Rule 902(k)(2)(i) under the circumstances described in Rule 902(h)(3); and we were not a member of an identifiable group of U.S. citizens abroad.

Unless the circumstances described in paragraph 1(ii) above are applicable, either (a) at the time our buy order was originated, we were outside the United States or (b) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market and we did not prearrange the transaction in the United States.
