INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY, a corporation of the State of Indiana
(hereinafter called the Company), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
the bearer, or, if this bond be registered, to the registered owner hereof, on

United States of America, and to pay interest thereon from the date hereof at
the rate of _____________ per centum per annum in like lawful money, at said
office or agency on ____________________ and ___________________ in each year,
until the Company's obligation with respect to the payment of such principal
shall have been discharged, but only, in the case of interest due on or before
maturity, according to the tenor and upon presentation and surrender of the
respective coupons therefor hereto attached, as they severally mature.
This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issuable in series,
and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, ______________ Series
____________, all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally

additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and
Deed of Trust (herein called the Mortgage), dated as of May 1, 1940, executed by
the Company to American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago, as Trustee,
to which reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and
pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the bearers or
registered owners of the bonds in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of
the Trustee and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured. With
the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the
Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or of the holders of the

principal amount of the bonds affected by such modification or alteration, then
outstanding under the Mortgage (excluding bonds disqualified from voting by
reason of the Company's interest therein as provided in the Mortgage); provided

bearer of this bond if it be not registered as to principal, or, if this bond is
registered as herein authorized, the person in whose name the same is
registered, and the bearer of any coupon hereto appertaining, as the absolute
owner for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on
this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to
the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any
predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the
Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law,
statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise,
all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and
directors, as such, being released by the owner hereof by the acceptance of this
bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

waived pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, (A) there shall be deducted
from the cost or fair value thereof, as the case may be, an amount equal to the
cost (or as to property additions the fair value of which at the time the same

retired (other than the funded property, if any, in connection with the
application for the release of which such certificate is filed) and not
theretofore deducted from the cost or fair value of property additions
theretofore certified to the Trustee and (B) there shall be added to such cost
or fair value of property additions as the case may be, the sum of
(a) the principal amount of all obligations secured by purchase money
mortgage and all cash (other than proceeds of such purchase money
obligations) received by the Trustee or the trustee or other holders of any
prior lien, in either case representing the proceeds of insurance on, the
consideration for the release of or the proceeds of the disposal of, such
funded property retired;

to the authentication and delivery of which under the provisions of Section
31 hereof shall have been waived as the basis of the release of such funded
property retired;

the principal amount of each bond or fraction of a bond, the right to the
authentication and delivery of which under the provisions of Section 23
hereof shall have been waived as the basis of the release of such funded
property retired;
(d) one hundred forty-two and six-sevenths per centum (142 6/7%) of
the principal amount of each bond or fraction of a bond, the right to the
authentication and delivery of which upon the basis of property additions
shall have been waived as the basis of the release of such funded property
retired; and
(e) the amount of the proceeds of insurance on or of the disposal of
such funded property retired which shall have been applied by the Company
to the acquisition or construction of property in substitution therefor or
replacement thereof in the exercise by the Company of any right so to apply
such proceeds without depositing such proceeds with the Trustee hereunder
or with the trustee or other holder of a prior lien as hereinafter defined;
provided, however, that the aggregate of the amounts added under clause (B)
above shall in no event exceed the amounts deducted under clause (A) above. For

income which in the opinion of the signers is directly derived from the
operation of property not subject to the lien of this Indenture at the date of
such certificate, exceeds ten per centum (10%) of such balance of earnings; the

and the principal amount of, (1) all bonds outstanding hereunder at the date of
such certificate, except any which are then being made the basis, pursuant to
the provisions of Article VII, for the authentication and delivery of bonds, (2)

hereto with irrevocable direction so to apply the same) outstanding in the hands
of the public on the date of such certificate and secured by lien prior to the

net non-operating income there shall not be included profits realized or losses
sustained from the sale or other disposition of capital assets or profits or
losses on retirements of bonds secured hereby.
If any of the property of the Company owned by it at the time of the making
of any net earnings certificate shall have been acquired during or after any
period for which net earnings are to be computed, the net earnings of such
property (computed in the manner specified in this Section for the computation
of the net earnings of the Company) during such period or such part of such
period as shall have preceded the acquisition thereof, to the extent that the
same have not otherwise been included, and unless such property shall have been
acquired in exchange or substitution for property the earnings of which have
been included, shall be included in the net earnings of the Company for all
purposes of this Indenture unless in the opinion of the Company, evidenced by a
Treasurer's certificate delivered to the Trustee, it is impracticable to
determine such net earnings without unreasonable effort or expense; in like
manner, the net earnings of any property to be acquired through the issue of
bonds applied for in the application in connection with which such net earnings
certificate is made shall be included in the net earnings of the Company unless
it is impracticable to determine such net earnings as aforesaid.

earnings certificate is required, if (1) the twelve months' period covered by

which the Company has filed or is at the date of the net earnings certificate
required to file with the Trustee pursuant to subdivision (1) of Section 52
hereof, and (2) the aggregate principal amount of bonds then applied for plus
the aggregate principal amount of bonds authenticated and delivered since the
commencement of the then current calendar year (other than those with respect to
which a net earnings certificate is not required or with respect to which a net
earnings certificate signed by an independent public accountant appointed by the
Company and approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care, has
previously been furnished) is ten per centum (10%) or more of the aggregate
amount of the bonds at the time out standing hereunder, such net earnings
certificate shall be made and signed by an independent public accountant
appointed by the Company and approved by the Trustee in the exercise of
reasonable care, in addition to being signed and verified by such officers of
the Company.
Each such certificate shall include the statements required by Section 21
hereof.

SECTION 8. At the option of the Company, the bonds issued hereunder may be
issued in one or more series, the bonds of each series (other than the 3 1/4%
Series due 1970, hereinafter in Section 19 described) maturing on such date or
dates and bearing interest at such rate or rates as the Board of Directors of
the Company prior to the authentication thereof may determine. Except as to the
3 1/4% Series due 1970, the form of each series of bonds issued hereunder and of
the coupons to be attached to the coupon bonds of such series shall be
established by an indenture supplemental hereto authorized by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company. The bonds and coupons of any one or more
series may be expressed in one or more foreign languages, if also expressed in
the English language. The English text shall govern the construction thereof and
both or all texts shall constitute but a single obligation. The English text of
the coupon bonds, coupons, fully registered bonds and the Trustee's certificate
shall be respectively substantially of the tenor and purport above recited,
provided, however, that the form of each series, as established by the Board of
Directors, shall specify the descriptive title of the bonds (which shall contain
the words "First Mortgage Bond"), the designation of the series, the date of the
coupon bonds of that series, the rate or rates of interest to be borne by the
bonds of that series, the date or dates of maturity, the dates for the payment
of interest, and a place for the payment of principal and interest and for the
registration and transfer of the bonds. Subject to the provisions of Section 19
hereof with respect to the 3 1/4% Series due 1970, any series of bonds may also
contain such provisions as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, cause
to be inserted therein:
(a) specifying any additional place or places, either in the United
States of America or, subject to the provisions of Section 18 hereof,
elsewhere, for the payment of principal and/or interest and/or for the
registration and/or the transfer of bonds;
(b) expressing any obligation of the Company for the payment of the
principal of the bonds of that series or the interest thereon, or both,
without deduction for taxes and/or for the reimbursement of taxes in case
of payment by the bondholders, which obligation may be limited to taxes
imposed by any taxing authorities of a specified class and may exclude from
its operation or be limited to any specified tax or taxes or any portion
thereof; and/or expressing any obligation of the Company for the creation
of a sinking fund or other similar device for the retirement of bonds of
that series, and/or expressing any obligation of the Company to permit the
conversion of bonds of that series into capital A stock of the Company of
any designated class or classes;
(c) permitting the bondholders to make, at a specified place or
places, any or all of the. following exchanges, viz., exchanges of coupon
bonds for fully registered bonds; exchanges of fully registered bonds for
coupon bonds; exchanges of coupon bonds for coupon bonds of other
denominations; exchanges of fully registered bonds for fully registered
bonds of other denominations; and exchanges of bonds of one series for
bonds of another series; and such privilege of exchange may in any case be
made subject to such conditions, limitations or restrictions as the Board
of Directors may determine and the privilege of exchange may in any case be
conferred upon the holders of bonds of one or more denominations and
withheld from the holders of bonds of other denominations of the same
series and may in any case be conferred on the holders of fully registered
bonds and withheld from the holders of coupon bonds or vice versa;
(d) reserving to the Company the right to redeem all or any part of
the bonds of that series before maturity at a time or times and at a
redemption price or prices to be specified in the form of bond; and/or
(e) in any other respect expressing or referring to the terms and
conditions upon which such bonds are to be issued and/or secured under this
Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto.
SECTION 9. Any series of bonds may be executed, authenticated and delivered
originally as coupon bonds and/or as fully registered bonds, of such
denomination or denominations as the Board of Directors of the Company may from
time to time authorize.
SECTION 10. Every fully registered bond of any series shall be dated as of
the date of authentication (except that if any fully registered bond of any
series shall be authenticated upon any interest payment date for that series, it
shall be dated as of the day following) and shall bear interest from the
beginning of the current interest period for that series, provided, however,
that if any fully registered bond shall be authenticated and delivered upon a
transfer of or in exchange for any bond or bonds upon which interest is in
default, it shall be dated so that no gain or loss of interest shall result
therefrom. The coupon bonds of each series of bonds issued hereunder shall be
dated as of such date as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company and designated in the form established for such series.
SECTION 11. Any bond may have imprinted thereon or included therein any
legend or legends required in order to comply with any law or with any rules or
regulations made pursuant thereto or with the rules or regulations of any stock
exchange or to conform to usage, and the Board of Directors of the Company by
resolution may at any time amend any legend on bonds then outstanding so as to
comply with any such law, rule or regulation, or so as to conform to usage.
SECTION 12. In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging bonds exists
and is exercised, the bonds to be exchanged shall be surrendered at such place
or places as shall be designated by the Board of Directors of the Company for
the purpose, with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto (in the case of
coupon bonds) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor the bond or bonds which the bondholder making
the exchange shall be entitled to receive. All bonds so surrendered for exchange
shall be in bearer form or if registered, accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form approved by the Company duly executed by the
registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney. All Bonds so surrendered
for exchange and the unmatured coupons appertaining thereto shall be canceled by
the Trustee and upon the request of the Company may be cremated by the Trustee
and a certificate evidencing the cremation thereof delivered to the Company.
Upon every transfer of bonds as permitted by the next succeeding Section, and
upon every exchange of bonds, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient
to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge required to be
paid by the Company and in addition may charge a sum not exceeding two dollars
($2) for each bond issued upon any such transfer or exchange which shall be paid
by the party requesting such transfer or exchange as a condition precedent to
the exercise of the privilege of making such transfer or exchange. The Company
shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of any series for
a period of ten (10) days next preceding any interest payment date of said
series.
SECTION 13. The Company shall keep at such place or places as shall be
designated for the purpose, books for the registration and transfer of bonds
issued hereunder, which, at all reasonable times, shall be open for inspection
by the Trustee; and upon the presentation for such purpose at any such place or
places, the Company will register or cause to be registered therein, and permit
to be transferred thereon, under such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, any bonds issued under this Indenture and entitled to registration or
transfer at such office. Upon the registration of any coupon bond as to
principal, the fact of such registration shall be noted on such bond. Upon the
transfer of any fully registered bond the Company shall issue in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new fully registered bond or new fully registered
bonds of the same series for a like principal amount and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the same to him or them. All fully registered bonds so
surrendered for transfer shall be canceled by the Trustee and upon the request
of the Company may be cremated by the Trustee and a certificate evidencing the
cremation thereof delivered to the Company.
SECTION 14. All bonds issued hereunder shall, from time to time, be
executed on behalf of the Company by its President or one of its Vice Presidents
and its corporate seal shall be thereunto affixed and attested by its Secretary
or one of its' Assistant Secretaries. The coupons to be attached to coupon bonds
shall bear the facsimile signature of the present or any future Treasurer of the
Company. In case any of the officers who shall have signed any bonds or attested
the seal thereon or whose facsimile signature appears on any coupons, shall
cease to be such officers of the Company before the bonds so signed and/or
sealed shall have been actually authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or
issue by the Company, such bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, delivered
and/or issued with the same force and effect as though the person or persons who
signed such bonds or attested the seal thereon or whose facsimile signature
appears on any coupons had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the
Company. Before authenticating any coupon bonds the Trustee shall cut off,
cancel and cremate all matured coupon thereto attached (except as otherwise
provided in Sections 12 and 16 hereof), and shall deliver to the Company a
certificate evidencing the cremation thereof.
SECTION 15. There may be authenticated and delivered and issued from time
to time in lieu of any definitive bond or bonds under this Indenture one or more
temporary typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved bonds substantially of
the tenor of the bonds hereinbefore described, with or without one or more
coupons, and with or without the privilege of registration as to principal only,
or as to both principal and interest, and such temporary bond or bonds may be in
such denomination or denominations as the officers of the Company executing the
same may determine. Until a definitive bond or bonds secured hereby are issued
in exchange therefor, each such temporary bond or bonds shall be entitled to the
lien and benefit of this Indenture. Upon the exchange by the Company of
definitive coupon bonds or definitive fully registered bonds for temporary
bonds' (which exchange the Company shall make on request of, and without charge
to, the holder, when definitive bonds are ready for delivery) such temporary
bond or bonds and any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto shall be canceled
by the Trustee and upon the request of the Company may be cremated by the
Trustee and a certificate evidencing such cremation delivered to the Company.
When and as interest is paid upon any unregistered temporary bond without
coupons, the fact of such payment shall be noted thereon and interest due on any
temporary bond which is represented by a coupon shall be paid only upon
presentation and surrender of such coupon for cancellation. Temporary bonds
without coupons of any series shall bear interest from the beginning of the
current interest period for bonds of such series in which such temporary bonds
without coupons shall be authenticated. The holder of one or more temporary
bonds may exchange the same on the surrender thereof in bearer form or, if
registered, accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form approved by the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by his
duly authorized attorney, with all unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto, to the Trustee for cancellation, and shall be entitled to receive a
temporary bond or bonds' of the same series of like aggregate principal amount
of such other denominations as the Company may determine to issue in exchange.
SECTION 16. Upon receipt by the Company and the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to them, of the loss, destruction or mutilation of any bond
outstanding hereunder and the coupons appertaining thereto, and of indemnity
satisfactory to them, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of a
reasonable charge and upon reimbursement to the Company and the Trustee of all
reasonable expense incident thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of such
bond, if mutilated, and the coupons appertaining thereto, if any, the Company
may execute, and the Trustee may authenticate and deliver, a new bond of like
tenor and of the same series with corresponding coupons in the appropriate case,
in lieu of such lost, destroyed or mutilated bond and coupons, if any.
Any duplicate bonds and/or coupons issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute original additional contractual obligations on the part of the
Company, whether or not the lost, destroyed or mutilated bonds or coupons, be at
any time found by anyone, and shall be equally secured and entitled to equal and
proportionate benefits with all other bonds and coupons issued hereunder in any
moneys or property at any time held by the Trustee for the benefit of the
bondholders.
SECTION 17. No bond shall be secured hereby unless there shall be endorsed
thereon the certificate of the Trustee, substantially in the form hereinabove
recited, that it is one of the bonds (or temporary bonds), of the series
designated therein, herein provided for; and such certificate on any such bond
shall be conclusive evidence that such bond has been duly authenticated and
delivered and when issued will be secured hereby.
SECTION 18. The Company may provide for effecting payment of the principal
of or interest on bonds of any series at one or more places in foreign
countries, provided that such payment shall be only the stated amount of such
principal and/or interest in lawful money of the United States of America, or
the equivalent thereof in the appropriate local foreign currency at the buying
rate at the time of such payment at such place or places for sight drafts on New
York.
SECTION 19. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereinbefore in this
Article II contained to the contrary, which said contrary provisions shall not
be applicable to the bonds in this Section described, there shall be a series of
bonds designated "3 1/4% Series due 1970" (herein sometimes referred to as the
"1970 Series"), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title First
Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof and of the appurtenant coupons, which shall
be established by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, shall
contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this
Section specified. Bonds of the 1970 Series shall be limited to the Thirty- two

April 30, 1967; 0.66% thereafter to and including April 30, 1968; 0.45%

or, in case of redemption by the application of cash deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 20 hereof, at the principal amount thereof and accrued
interest to such date of redemption, together with the same premiums as would be
applicable if such redemption were being made pursuant to the provisions of
paragraph B of Section 69 hereof.
At the option of the holder, any coupon bonds of the 1970 Series, upon
surrender thereof with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto at the office
or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois, shall be exchangeable
for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds of the same
series of authorized denominations.
At the option of the registered holder, any fully registered bonds of the 1970
Series, upon surrender thereof at said office or agency of the Company together
with a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Company duly
executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney, shall be
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of coupon bonds of the same
series, with all unmatured coupons attached, or for a like aggregate principal
amount of fully registered bonds of the same series of other authorized
denominations.
The holder of any coupon bond of the 1970 Series may have the ownership
thereof registered as to principal on the books of the Company at the office or
agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois, and such registration
noted on such bond. After such registration no transfer of such bond shall be
valid unless made at said office or agency by the registered holder in person or
by his duly authorized attorney and similarly noted on such bond; but the same
may be discharged from registration by being in like manner transferred to
bearer and thereupon transferability by delivery shall be restored; but such
bond may again from time to time be registered or transferred to bearer in
accordance with the above procedure. Such registration, however, shall not
affect the negotiability of the coupons appertaining to such bonds, but every
such coupon shall continue to be transferable by delivery merely and shall
remain payable to bearer. Fully registered bonds of the 1970 Series shall also
be transferable on the books of the Company at said office or agency of the
Company by the registered holder thereof, in person or by his duly authorized
attorney, upon surrender for cancellation thereof.

of bonds of the 1970 Series:
An amount in cash and/or principal amount of bonds of the 1970 Series
equivalent to one per centum (1%) of the greatest principal amount of bonds of
the 1970 Series theretofore at any one time outstanding.
Such cash together with any bonds delivered to the Trustee under the
provisions of this Section shall be dealt with a's provided for by this Section.
All cash deposited by the Company with the Trustee pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall be applied by the Trustee from time to time and
as rapidly as may be practicable to the purchase of bonds of the 1970 Series
then outstanding, at public or private sale at the lowest prices at which such
bonds can be obtained, not exceeding, however, the then redemption price, or, if
the Company shall so request, the Trustee shall apply any cash then held by it
under this Section to the redemption of bonds of the 1970 Series as soon as may
be practicable after such request. In case the balance of such cash remaining
with the Trustee on the twentieth day of March of any year beginning with the
year 1950 shall aggregate $25,000 or more, the Trustee shall apply the same to
the redemption of bonds of the 1970 Series on the next succeeding first day of
May, such redemption to be in the manner provided in Article XII hereof. The
Company shall have the right to tender bonds of the 1970 Series for sale by it
to the Trustee under the provisions of this Section.
The Company shall pay to the Trustee, on demand, the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest, and premiums paid, if any, upon all bonds purchased or redeemed
pursuant to this Section.
Any bonds deposited, purchased or redeemed pursuant to the provisions of

of the Company, the Trustee may cremate the same and deliver to the Company a
certificate of such cremation.

issuance of bonds of the Company by governmental authorities or by the Company
or to the supplemental indenture described in subdivision (10) of Section 30 or

(II) The Company further covenants that it will, whenever requested in
writing by the Trustee, or by the holders of at least fifteen per centum (15%)
in principal amount of bonds then outstanding hereunder, but in no event more
often than once in every five (5) years, cause an inspection of the mortgaged
and pledged property to be made by an independent engineer.
Such independent engineer, within a reasonable time from the date of his or
their appointment, shall report to the Company and to the Trustee whether or not
the mortgaged and pledged property, as an operating system or systems, has been
maintained in good repair, working order and condition, and whether or not there
is any mortgaged and pledged property which should be classified as retired and
which has not been retired on the books of the Company. If such independent
engineer shall report that the mortgaged and pledged property, as an operating
system or systems, has not been so maintained, he or they shall state clearly in
such report the character and extent and estimated cost of making good such
deficiency and, if longer than one year, the time reasonably necessary to make
good such deficiency and, if he or they shall report that there is mortgaged and
pledged property which should be classified as retired and which has not been
retired on the books of the Company, such report shall briefly describe such
property and shall state the amount of such retirement. Such amount shall be
determined, both with respect to funded and unfunded property, in the manner
provided for the determination of the deductions required by subdivision (II) of
Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that with respect to any property additions
which shall not have been included in any engineer's certificate or independent
engineer's certificate theretofore furnished to the Trustee, the amount of such
retirement shall be the cost or fair value thereof (whichever shall be less) as
of the date of such report in the case of property additions which were not
funded property, and in the case of property additions which were funded
property as of the date they became funded property, in either case as
determined by the signers of such report. Said report shall be placed on file by
the Trustee and shall be open to inspection by any bondholder at any reasonable
time.
The Company shall, with all reasonable speed, do such maintenance work as
may be necessary to make good any such maintenance deficiency as shall have been
determined to exist as hereinabove provided at the time of the report of such
independent engineer, whereupon such independent engineer (or, in case of his
or their refusal or inability to act, some other independent engineer), shall
report in writing to the Trustee whether such deficiency has been made good.
Unless the Trustee shall be so advised in writing by such independent
engineer within one year from the date of the report of such independent
engineer, or such longer period as may be reported by such independent engineer
to be reasonably necessary for the purpose, that such deficiency has been made
good, the Company shall be deemed to be in default in the performance of one of
its covenants under this Indenture. In any proceeding based on such default,
said report or reports of such independent engineer shall be prima facie
evidence of the existence of the facts and conditions therein set forth.
The Company covenants that it will promptly retire on its books at the
amounts stated in said report, all property which said report states should be
retired.
All expenses incurred pursuant to this Section shall be borne by the
Company.
(III) For the purposes of this Section 41 and of Section 47, the term
"Gross Operating Revenues of the Company" as applied to steam operating revenues
and other operating revenues of the Company is hereby defined as the revenues
received by the Company from the sale of electric, steam and other public
utility service and the amounts received as rentals or fixed charges for the use
by others (or the use by the Company for the account of others) of generating
and transmission facilities owned by the Company (with all interdepartmental
items eliminated), and after deducting an amount equal to the cost to the
Company of electricity, steam or other public utility service products,
purchased for exchange or resale, and after deducting an amount equal to the
revenues from the operation of (or, at the option of the Company, the cost of
rentals paid by the Company for) electric, steam or other producing, generating,
transporting, transmitting or distributing properties leased from others, and
after deducting an amount equal to charges to the Company for transmission by
others of electricity and/or transportation by others of steam or other public
utility service products; provided, however, that any operating revenue of the
Company which is in controversy as a result of any litigation or which has been
impounded, shall be included in the Gross Operating Revenues of the Company for
the purpose of this computation, but only after, and in the year in which, any
such operating revenue in controversy or impounded is recovered or, at the
option of the Company, after, and in the year in which, it shall have been
finally determined that such operating revenues belong to the Company.
SECTION 42. That it will, subject to the provisions of Article XVII hereof,
at all times maintain its corporate existence and right to carry on business,
and, subject to the provisions hereof, will use its best efforts to maintain,
preserve and renew all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises owned by
it.
SECTION 43. That if it shall fail to perform any covenants contained in
Sections 39, 40, 41, 42, or 44 hereof, the Trustee may make advances to perform
the same in its behalf and shall make such advances if requested so to do by the
holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds then
outstanding hereunder and furnished with funds adequate for the purpose and also
adequate to pay any expense incurred in connection with such performance; the
Company shall at once repay to the Trustee all sums so advanced with interest at
the rate of five per centum (5%) per annum until paid, and all sums so advanced
with the interest thereon shall be secured hereby, having the benefit of the
lien hereby created in priority to the indebtedness evidenced by the bonds and
coupons issued hereunder, but no such advance shall be deemed to relieve the
Company from any default hereunder except that, to the extent that any such
advances by the Trustee shall be repaid by the Company, such advances shall be
deemed to have been payments of the Company as of the date of such repayment.
SECTION 44. That it will cause this Indenture to be promptly recorded and
filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by law in order to
fully preserve and protect the security of the bondholders and all rights of the
Trustee and will furnish to the Trustee:
(1) Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture and of
each supplemental indenture, an opinion of counsel (who may be of counsel
for the Company) either stating that in the opinion of such counsel this

recorded and filed so as to make effective the lien intended to be created
thereby and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the
opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to make such lien
effective, and

hereto as is necessary to maintain the lien thereof, and reciting the
details of such action, or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no
such action is necessary to maintain such lieu. As used in clause (2) of
this Section, the term "annually" shall be deemed to mean once in each
calendar year following the calendar year 1940.
It shall be a compliance with clauses (1) and (2) of this Section if (a)
the opinion of counsel therein required to be delivered to the Trustee shall
state (i) that the indentures which may be the subject matter of any such
opinion have been received for recordation or filing or rerecording or refiling
in each jurisdiction in which in the opinion of such counsel they are
respectively required to be recorded or filed or rerecorded or refiled and (ii)
that, in the opinion of such counsel, no further action is necessary to make
effective the lien intended to be created by such indentures, and (b) such
opinion is delivered to the Trustee within such time, following the date of the
execution and delivery of the respective indentures which may be the subject
matter of such opinion, as shall be practicable, having due regard to the number

or filed or rerecorded or refiled.
SECTION 45. That it will execute and deliver such further instruments and
do such further acts as may be necessary or proper to carry out more effectually

business and affairs of the Company shall at all reasonable times be open to the

expenses of any such inspection. Except as may be required pursuant to Sections
97 and 98 hereof, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to cause any such
inspection to be made unless requested so to do in writing by the holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding hereunder
and furnished with funds sufficient to pay all costs and expenses incurred or to
be incurred by it in or in connection with such inspection.

practice after all proper deductions, including (i) deduction for amortization
of debt discount and expense and of premiums paid in connection with the

shares of its capital stock of any class of amounts not to exceed in the
aggregate the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of any shares
of its capital stock of any class subsequent to December 31, 1939.
The Company covenants that, so long as any of the bonds of the 1970 Series
are outstanding, each financial statement required by Section 52 hereof to be
filed with the Trustee will disclose, by footnote or otherwise, the amount
available at the date of such financial statement for dividends, distributions,
purchases and redemptions, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 47, and
the dividends, distributions, purchases, and redemptions, if any, of the
character referred to in this Section, paid or made during the year covered by
such financial statement.
The Company covenants that within fifteen (15) days after the date of the
declaration of any dividend, the making of any distribution on its capital stock
or the purchase or redemption of any of its capital stock, it will notify the
Trustee of such action and will deliver to the Trustee a Treasurer's certificate

cash or purchase money obligations representing the proceeds of insurance on or
the release of or the taking by eminent domain of property subject to the lien
of this Indenture which shall have been deposited with the trustee of a prior
lien unless
(a) such cash is deposited with the Trustee hereunder to be withdrawn,

Section 68 hereof, except that any such cash representing proceeds of
insurance shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 40
hereof; or
(b) the consent of the Trustee hereunder has been given to such
withdrawal, which consent shall be given by the Trustee (1) with respect to
any such cash representing proceeds of insurance upon compliance with the
provisions of Section 40 hereof, or (2) with respect to any other cash upon
compliance with the provisions of Section 68 hereof. Any cash with respect
to the withdrawal of which the Trustee shall have given its' consent in
accordance with the provisions of this subdivision (b) shall for all
purposes of this Indenture be deemed to have been originally deposited
hereunder and to have been withdrawn, used or applied under the provisions

(c) such cash is deposited with the trustee of another prior lien,
such cash to be subject to the restrictions as to withdrawal hereinabove
set forth; or

such cash to be subject to the restrictions as to withdrawal hereinabove

(a) cause the balance of any cash and purchase money obligations of
the character described in paragraph I of this Section which shall have
been deposited with the trustee of such prior lien and shall not
theretofore have been withdrawn or permitted to be withdrawn in accordance
with the provisions of said paragraph I to be deposited either (1) with the
Trustee to be held and applied in the same manner as though such cash and
purchase money obligations had originally been deposited with the Trustee
hereunder, or (2) With the trustee of another prior lien, such cash and
purchase money obligations to be subject to the restrictions as to
withdrawal hereinabove set forth; and
(b) cause any prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ then held by the trustee of such prior
lien to be cancelled.
III. That, so long as any prior lien continues to be a prior lien, the
Company will not permit prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ secured by such prior lien to be
increased unless the prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ representing such increase shall be
deposited with the Trustee to be held under the provisions of Article XI hereof.

and December 31 in the year 1940, and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing, a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require
containing all the information in the possession or control of the Company or of
its paying agents, as to the names and addresses of the holders of bonds
obtained since the date as of which the next previous list, if any, was
furnished. Any such list may be dated as of a date not more than fifteen days
prior to the time such information is furnished or caused to be furnished, and
need not include information received after such date.
SECTION 51. (a) The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable all information as to the names and addresses of the
holders of the bonds outstanding under this Indenture (1) contained in the most
recent list furnished to it, as provided in Section 50 hereof (2) received by it
in the capacity of paying agent with respect to the principal of and interest on
the bonds outstanding under this Indenture, and (3) filed with it within the 2
preceding years pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c)
of Section 53 hereof.
The Trustee may (1) destroy any information or portion thereof furnished to
it as provided in said Section 50 upon receipt of new information so furnished
to it in substitution therefor; (2) destroy any information received by it as

after an interest payment date of the bonds, a list containing the names and
addresses of the holders of bonds obtained from such information since the
delivery of the next previous list, if any; (3) destroy any list delivered to
itself as Trustee which was compiled from information received by it as paying
agent upon receipt of a new list so delivered; and (4) destroy any in formation
received by it pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of
said Section 53 but not until 2 years after such information has been filed with

"applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish to the Trustee
reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a bond outstanding under
this Indenture for a period of at least 6 months preceding the date of such
application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other holders of bonds with respect to their rights under this
Indenture or under the bonds, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy
or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the
Trustee shall within 5 business days after the receipt of such application, at
its election, either
(1) afford to such applicants access to the information preserved at
the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subdivision
(a) of this Section; or
(2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders of
bonds whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the
time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (a)
of this Section, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such
bondholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in
such application.
If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants,
mail to each bondholder whose name and address appears in the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
subdivision (a) of this Section, a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness
after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or
provision for the payment of, the reasonable expenses of such mailing, unless
within 5 days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, together with a copy of the
material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the holders
of bonds or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement
shall specify the basis of such opinion. If said Commission, after opportunity
for a hearing upon objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall
enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections, or if, after the
entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, said Commission
shall find, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, that all the objections
so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee
shall mail copies of such material to all such bondholders with reasonable
promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender;
otherwise, the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such
applicants respecting their application.
(c) The Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the mailing of
any material pursuant to any request made under subdivision (b) of this Section.

the Company may be required to file with such Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if
the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports,
pursuant to either of such Sections, then to file with the Trustee and the

respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities
exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and
regulations;
(2) To file with the Trustee and the Securities and Exchange
Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from

covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required from time to
time by such rules and regulations;

Indenture, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee (or at
such other time as shall be fixed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission) and in the manner and to the extent provided in subdivision (c)
of Section 53 hereof with respect to reports pursuant to subdivision (a) of
said Section, such summaries of any information, documents and reports
required to be filed by the Company, pursuant to subdivisions (1) and (2)
of this Section, as may be required by the rules and regulations prescribed

hereof, or in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it has
continued to be eligible and qualified under such Sections, a written
statement to such effect;
(2) The character and amount of any advances (and, if the Trustee
elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made

prior to that of the bonds upon the mortgaged and pledged property, or upon

remaining unpaid aggregate more than one-half of one percentum (1/2 of 1%)
of the aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding under this Indenture

it has not previously reported; provided, however, that to the extent that
the aggregate value as shown by the release papers of any or all of such
released properties does not exceed an amount equal to 1% of the principal

respect of a default, notice of which has been or is to be withheld by it,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 73.
(b) The Trustee shall transmit to the bondholders as hereinafter provided a
brief report with respect to--
(1) the release, or release and substitution, of property subject to
the lien of this Indenture (and the consideration therefor, if any) unless

(2) the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee
elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made

lien or charge prior to that of the bonds on the mortgaged and pledged
property or on property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee, and
which it has not previously reported pursuant to this paragraph, if such
advances remaining unpaid at any time aggregate more than 10 per centum of
the principal amount of bonds outstanding at such time, such report to be
transmitted within 90 days after such time.

CONCERNING PRIOR ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ DEPOSITED WITH TRUSTEE.
SECTION 54. Each prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in coupon form deposited with the Trustee
shall have all unmatured coupons attached when so deposited, or shall be
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Trustee (which may be a certificate
of the mortgagee or trustee under the prior lien securing the same) that the
discharge of the mortgage or other lien securing such prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ may be
obtained without the production of any coupon or coupons that may be missing;
and each prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ so deposited shall be uncanceled. Each prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇
deposited hereunder shall be in bearer form or accompanied by appropriate
instruments of transfer; and the Trustee may cause any or all registered prior
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to be registered in its name as Trustee, or otherwise, or in the name
or names of its nominee or nominees.
SECTION 55. All prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ received by the Trustee for the purposes
of this Article XI shall be held by the Trustee, as part of the mortgaged and
pledged property and without impairment of the lien thereof, for the protection
and further security of the bonds issued hereunder. Except during the
continuance of a completed default specified in Section 72 of this Indenture, no
payment by way of interest or otherwise on any of the prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ held by
the Trustee shall be made or demanded and the coupons thereto appertaining as
they mature shall be canceled by the Trustee and delivered so canceled to the
Company, unless the Company shall, by an instrument in writing, signed by its
President or a Vice-President or its Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, and
delivered to the Trustee, elect, with respect to any of such prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
to have such payments made and demanded. In any event, except during the
continuance of a completed default as aforesaid, all moneys received by the
Trustee on account of the principal of or interest or premium on said prior ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ (to the extent that a Treasurer's certificate delivered to the Trustee
shall state that such moneys do not represent the proceeds of insurance on, or
of the release of, or of the taking by eminent domain of, mortgaged and pledged
property, including the proceeds of and substitutes for any thereof), shall be
paid over by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Company signed as
aforesaid; provided that if and to the extent that such Treasurer's certificate
shall not state that such moneys do not represent the proceeds of insurance on,
or of the release of, or of the taking by eminent domain of, mortgaged and
pledged property, including the proceeds of and substitutes for any thereof, the
same shall be retained by the Trustee and held as part of the mortgaged and
pledged property, to be withdrawn, used or applied, in the manner, to the
extent, and for the purposes, and subject to the conditions provided in Section
68 hereof.
SECTION 56. Except during the continuance of a completed default specified
in Section 72 hereof, the Trustee, if so directed by an instrument in writing
signed by the President or a Vice- President or the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer of the Company, shall cause any prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ held by it to be
canceled, and the obligation thereby evidenced to be satisfied and discharged,
provided that it shall have received notice from the trustee or other holder of
the prior lien securing the same that such trustee or other holder, on receipt
of the prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ held by the Trustee, will cause the prior lien to be
satisfied and discharged of record and, in such event, the Trustee shall
surrender any prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ held by it subject to this Article XI to the
trustee or other holder of the prior lien securing the same for cancellation;
provided that if all of the property subject to the prior lien securing prior
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ deposited with the Trustee, shall have been released from the lien of
this Indenture, such prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as shall thereupon cease to be prior ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ shall be surrendered forthwith by the Trustee to the Company upon the
written order of its President or a Vice-President or its Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer.
SECTION 57. Upon the occurrence of any completed default specified in
Section 72 hereof, the Trustee may exercise any and all rights of a bondholder
with respect to the prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ then held by it or may take any other
action which shall in its judgment be desirable or necessary to avail of the
security created for such prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ by the prior liens securing the same.
The Trustee shall be reimbursed from the trust estate for all expenses by it
properly incurred by reason of any such action taken without negligence or bad
faith, with interest upon all such expenditures at the rate of five per centum
(5%) per annum; and the amount of such expenses and interest shall, until
repaid, constitute a lien upon the mortgaged and pledged property prior to the
lien of the bonds and coupons issued hereunder.
ARTICLE XII.
REDEMPTION OR PURCHASE OF BONDS.
SECTION 58. Such of the bonds of any series issued hereunder as are, by
their terms, redeemable before maturity may, at the option of the Company
evidenced by a resolution, be redeemed at such times, in such amounts and at
such prices as may he specified therein and in accordance with the provisions of
the three next succeeding Sections numbered from 59 to 61, both inclusive.
SECTION 59. In case of a redemption of a part only of any series of said
bonds, the particular serial numbers of the coupon bonds (including serial
numbers of coupon bonds reserved for fully registered bonds of such series) so
to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot, according to such method
as it shall deem proper in its discretion. Notice of intention to redeem
(including in case a part only of the bonds of any particular series are to be
redeemed, the numbers of the bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part) shall be
given, by or on behalf of the Company, by publication in one daily newspaper
printed in the English language and published and of general circulation in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in one daily newspaper printed
in the English language and published and of general circulation in each other
city (if any) where the interest on or principal of the bonds to be redeemed is
payable, for such period of time before the date fixed for redemption as is
specified in Section 19 hereof as to bonds of the 1970 Series and as to the
bonds of any other series for such periods as may be fixed for the bonds of such
other series by the supplemental indenture establishing such series of bonds, or
if no such period be fixed, then at least once in each of four (4) successive
calendar weeks (on any secular day of such calendar week which need not be the
same day in each week) immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption. A
copy of such notice shall also be mailed by or on behalf of the Company, not
less than twenty (20) days before the date fixed for redemption, to each holder
of any fully registered bond or of any coupon bond registered as to principal
which is to be redeemed, at his last address, if any, appearing upon the
registry books, but such mailing shall not be a condition precedent to such
redemption and failure so to mail any such notice shall not affect the validity
of the proceedings for the redemption of such bonds.
SECTION 60. In the event that the Company shall complete the giving of
notice by publication of its intention to redeem any bonds so redeemable, the
Company shall, and it hereby covenants that it will, on or before the redemption
date specified in such notice, deposit with the Trustee a sum of money
sufficient to redeem all such bonds so to be redeemed on such date and/or
irrevocably direct the Trustee to apply from money held by it available to be
used for the redemption of bonds, a sum of money sufficient to redeem such
bonds. If the Company shall fail so to deposit or direct the application of the
money for the redemption of said bonds and such failure shall continue for a
period of ten days after the redemption date, such failure, so continued, shall
constitute a completed default under this Indenture and the said bonds so called
for redemption shall thereupon immediately become due and payable, and the
holders of said bonds shall be entitled to receive and the Company shall be
obligated to pay the redemption price of said bonds and thereupon and without
the lapse of any period of time all the remedies provided for in Article XIV
hereof with respect to a default in the payment of principal of bonds
outstanding hereunder shall be available to and enforceable by the Trustee.
SECTION 61. All moneys deposited by the Company with the Trustee under the
provisions of this Article XII for the redemption of bonds or which the Company
directs shall be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of bonds shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 130 hereof, be held by the Trustee in trust
for account of the holders of the bonds so to be redeemed, and shall be paid to
them respectively, upon presentation and surrender of said bonds in bearer form
or if registered, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
approved by the Company duly executed by the registered holder or by his duly
authorized attorney, with all unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto.
Coupons maturing on or prior to the redemption date shall remain payable in
accordance with their terms. On and after such redemption date, if the moneys
for the redemption of the bonds to be redeemed shall have been deposited or
directed to be applied as aforesaid, such bonds shall cease to bear interest and
the coupons for interest, if any, maturing subsequent to the redemption date
shall be void.
If any serial number shall be drawn by the Trustee at any selection by lot
as in Section 59 hereof provided for, which is reserved for any fully registered
bond of a denomination larger than One thousand dollars ($1,000), such fully
registered bond shall be presented properly endorsed for transfer at or after
the date fixed for the redemption of said bonds so drawn for redemption, and the
payment with respect to said bond shall be made upon surrender of said bond so
endorsed; and coupon bonds or fully registered bonds for the unpaid balance, if
any, of the principal amount of the fully registered bond so presented and
surrendered shall be executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee without charge therefor. On and after the date fixed for such
redemption, interest shall be payable only on the portion of said fully
registered bond not so called for redemption and only such portion shall
continue to be entitled to the benefit of the lien of this Indenture.
SECTION 62. At any time, upon the request of the Company, expressed by
resolution, the Trustee shall, to the extent that such bonds are available for
such purchase, apply all or any part of the cash held by it under any provision
of this Indenture (except cash deposited under the provisions of Section 20
hereof or under any like devices for the retirement of bonds and except moneys
deposited for the payment or redemption of a particular series of bonds) or any
cash deposited with it by the Company for the purpose, to the purchase of bonds
then outstanding hereunder of such series as the Company may designate. Such
purchase shall be at public or private sale, as the Trustee may determine, at
the lowest prices at which such bonds can be obtained, not exceeding the current
redemption price of such bonds as shall be by their terms redeemable before
maturity, or at not more than one hundred and five per centum (105%) of the
principal of bonds not so redeemable, plus accrued interest. The Company shall
have the right to tender bonds for sale by it to the Trustee under the
provisions of this Section. Before making any such purchase the Trustee may, and
upon request of the Company, shall, by notice published once in each of two (2)
successive calendar weeks (on any secular day in the week which need not be the
same day in each week) in one daily newspaper, printed in the English language
and published and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, advertise for written proposals (to be received by it on or before
a specified date) to sell to it on or before a subsequent specified date bonds
of the series designated by the Company then outstanding hereunder; and the
Trustee, to the extent, as nearly as is possible, of such funds then in its
hands and requested by the Company to be so applied, shall purchase the bonds so
offered at the price or prices most favorable to the Company, and reasonable
notice shall be mailed by the Trustee to the holder or holders of the bonds
whose proposals may be accepted. Should there be two or more proposals at the
same price aggregating more than the amount which the Trustee has available for
investment, after having accepted all proposals at lower prices, the Trustee
shall invest the amount so available, by acceptance of proposals so as to
acquire the requisite amount of bonds at the lowest cost possible, provided,
however, that to the extent consistent with the acquisition of such amount of
bonds at the lowest cost possible the Trustee shall (a) in accepting proposals,
give preference to such proposals as are subject to acceptance of a portion
thereof as against proposals not subject to such acceptance, (b) as between
proposals subject to acceptance of a portion thereof, accept the same pro rata,
and (c) as between proposals not subject to such acceptance, select by lot,
according to such method as the Trustee shall deem proper in its discretion, the
proposals to be accepted. The Trustee may also in its discretion, and upon
request of the Company so to do, shall invite offers of bonds for sale to it in
any other usual manner. The Trustee may reject any or all proposals in whole or
in part if it can at the time of opening said proposals purchase the requisite
amount of such bonds or any part thereof from the Company or others at a lower
price than it could by accepting said proposals. All offers by holders shall be
subject to acceptance of a portion thereof unless otherwise expressed in the
offers and all advertisements for written proposals shall so state.
The Company shall pay to the Trustee, on demand, the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest upon all bonds purchased pursuant to this Section or redeemed in
the manner and as provided in this Article XII.
SECTION 63. All bonds issued hereunder paid, retired or redeemed under any
of the provisions of this Indenture or purchased by the Trustee as provided in
Section 62 hereof and all appurtenant coupons, if any, shall forthwith be
canceled by the Trustee, and at the request of the Company the Trustee may
cremate the same and deliver to the Company a certificate of such cremation.
ARTICLE XIII.
POSSESSION, USE AND RELEASE OF MORTGAGED AND PLEDGED PROPERTY.
SECTION 64. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the interest
on any of the bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed
defaults specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Company shall be suffered and permitted to possess, use and enjoy the
mortgaged and pledged property (except such cash as is expressly required to be
deposited with the Trustee and except, to the extent not herein otherwise
provided, such securities as are expressly required to be deposited with the
Trustee), and to receive, use and dispose of the tolls, rents, revenues, issues,
earnings, income, product and profits thereof, with power in the ordinary course
of business freely and without let or hindrance on the part of the Trustee or of
the bondholders, to use, consume and dispose of supplies acquired for the
purpose and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, to the contrary, to
exercise any and all rights under choses in action, contracts, franchises and
claims.
SECTION 65. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the interest
on any of the bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed
defaults specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Company may at any time and from time to time, without any release or
consent by the Trustee, or accountability thereto for any consideration received
by the Company:
(1) sell or otherwise dispose of, free from the lien of this Indenture
any machinery, equipment, tools, implements or other property, which shall
have become old, inadequate, obsolete, worn out or unfit or unadapted for
use in the operations of the Company, upon replacing the same by or
substituting for the same other property (not then within the term funded
property) of at least equal value to that of the property sold or otherwise
disposed of and subject to no liens prior hereto except liens to which the
property sold or otherwise disposed of was subject;
(2) cancel or make changes or alterations in or substitutions of any
and all contracts, leases and/or right of way grants;
(3) surrender or assent to the modification of any right, power,
franchise, license, governmental consent or permit under which it may be
operating, provided that such surrender or modification is, in the opinion
of the Board of Directors of the Company (such opinion to be stated in a
resolution to be filed with the Trustee), desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company and does not impair the security of the bonds
outstanding hereunder.
SECTION 66. A. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the
interest on any bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed
defaults specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Company may obtain the release of any of the mortgaged and pledged property,
except cash then held by the Trustee (provided, however, that prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
deposited with the Trustee shall not be released except as provided in Article
XI hereof, and that, at the option of the Company, the mining properties and the
land and buildings located at West Tenth Street and White River Boulevard,
Indianapolis, Indiana, owned by the Company at the date hereof may be released
as provided hereafter in paragraph B of this Section 66), and the Trustee shall
release the same from the lien hereof upon the application of the Company and
receipt by the Trustee of
(1) a resolution describing in reasonable detail the property to be
released and requesting such release and stating that the Company has
disposed of, exchanged or dedicated, or agreed to dispose of, exchange or
dedicate the same;
(2) a Treasurer's certificate stating that the Company is not in
default in the payment of the interest on any bonds then outstanding
hereunder and that none of the completed defaults specified in Section 72
hereof has occurred and is continuing;
(3) if the fair value of the property to be released, as set forth in
the certificate required by this subdivision (3), is equal to or more than
the greater of (i) Twenty-five thousand Dollars ($25,000) or (ii) one per
centum (1%) of the aggregate principal amount of the bonds outstanding, and
if the fair value of the property to be released and of all other property
released since the commencement of the current calendar year, as set forth
in the certificates required by this subdivision (3), is ten per centum or
more of the aggregate principal amount of bonds at the time outstanding,
then an independent engineer's certificate; otherwise an engineer's
certificate; such engineer's certificate or independent engineer's
certificate, as the case may be, shall be made and dated not more than
ninety (90) days prior to the date of such application and shall state: (a)
the fair value, in the opinion of the signers, of the property to be
released; (b) what portion, if any, of the property to be released is
funded property; (c) that such release is in the opinion of the signers
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company; and (d) that such
release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention
of the provisions hereof;
(4) an amount in cash, to be held by the Trustee as part of the
mortgaged and pledged property, equivalent to the amount, if any, by which
the then fair value of the property to be released, as' specified in the
engineer's certificate or in the independent engineer's certificate, as
the case may be, provided for in subdivision (3) above, exceeds the
aggregate (subject to the limitations hereinafter contained in clause (c)
of this subdivision with respect to obligations secured by purchase money
mortgages upon the property released) of the following items:
(a) the principal amount of any obligations secured by purchase
money mortgage upon the property released delivered to the Trustee, to
be held as part of the mortgaged and pledged property; and
(b) one hundred and forty-two and six-sevenths per centum (142
6/7%) of the principal amount of each bond or fraction of a bond to
the authentication and delivery of which the Company shall be entitled
under any of the provisions of this Indenture (other than those
contained in Section 32 hereof and except that against bonds
authenticable under Section 31 hereof, credit may be taken under this
subdivision in an amount equal only to one hundred per centum (100%)
of the principal amount of such bonds) by virtue of compliance with
all applicable provisions of this Indenture (except any earnings
requirements or net earnings certificates) relating to such
authentication and delivery but which have not been authenticated and
delivered; provided, however, that any application for such release of
property shall, to the extent, and to the extent only, that the
property so to be released is (i) funded property, or (ii) property
the expenditures for which have been made the basis of a credit under
Section 41 hereof, operate as a waiver by the Company of the right to
the authentication and delivery of each such bond or fraction thereof
on the basis of which right such property is released; and to such
extent no such bond or fraction thereof may thereafter be
authenticated and delivered hereunder and, to such extent, any
property additions which were the basis of such right to the
authentication and delivery of bonds so waived shall have the status
of funded property; and
(c) the principal amount of any obligations secured by purchase
money mortgage upon the property to be released and/or any amount in
cash, that is evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate of the trustee
or other holder of a prior lien or a lien prior hereto, as the case
may be, stating that such trustee or other holder has received and
holds the same in accordance with the provisions of such prior lien or
lien prior hereto in consideration for the release of such property or
any part thereof from such prior lien or lien prior hereto;
provided, however, that for the purposes of this subdivision (4)
obligations secured by purchase money mortgages upon the property to be
released shall be included in determining such aggregate only to the extent
of a sum which shall not exceed seventy per centum (70%) of the fair value
of the property released and only if the principal amount of the purchase
money obligations so included plus the principal amount of all purchase
money obligations then held by the Trustee or by the trustee or other
holder of a prior lien or lien prior hereto under the provisions of this
subdivision (4) and theretofore included in making the computation herein
provided for shall not exceed five per centum (5%) of the principal amount
of all bonds then outstanding under this Indenture;
(5) in case any obligations secured by purchase money mortgage upon
the property to be released are included in the consideration for such
release and are delivered to the Trustee or to the trustee or other holder
of a prior lien or a lien prior hereto in connection with any release of
such property, an opinion of counsel to the effect that in his or their
opinion, such obligations are valid obligations, and that any purchase
money mortgage securing the same is sufficient to afford a valid purchase
money lien upon the property to be released, subject to no lien prior
thereto except such liens, if any, as shall have existed thereon just prior
to such release as liens prior to the lien of this Indenture.
In case the release of property is in whole or in part, based upon the
right to the authentication and delivery of bonds (as permitted under clause (4)
(b) of this Section) the Company, except as otherwise in this Section provided,
shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Indenture relating to such
authentication and delivery; provided, however, that in no such case shall the
Company be required to deliver to the Trustee any resolution or document such as
is described in subdivisions (1), (2), (6) and (10) of Section 30 hereof or such
parts of the opinion as are described in clause (e) of subdivision (7) of said
Section 30 or such parts of the opinions described in subdivision (7) of said
Section 30 as relate solely to the authorization of the issuance of bonds of the
Company by governmental authorities or by the Company or to the supplemental
indenture described in subdivision (10) of Section 30, or to comply with the
provisions of Section 29 hereof; and provided further, that if the property to
be released is not funded property (i) the Company shall not be required to
comply with the provisions of Section 28 hereof, and (ii) that portion of the
opinion of counsel required by, clause (d) of subdivision (7) of said Section 30
may state that the property additions made the basis of the application for
release are subject to prior liens which secure prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ which have not
ceased to be outstanding under the provisions of Section 6 hereof; and provided
further, that if any such application for release on the basis of property
additions shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of the right to the
authentication and delivery of bonds on the basis of such property additions,
then none of the computations set forth in subdivision (II) of Section 4 hereof
need be made and provided further that the cost of any property additions
received or to be received by the Company in whole or in part, as consideration
in exchange for the property to be released shall for all purposes of this
Indenture be deemed to be the amount stated in the engineer's certificate or in
the independent engineer's certificate, as the case may be, provided for in
subdivision (3) of this Section to be the fair value of the property to be
released (a) plus the amount of any cash or the fair value of any other
consideration to be stated in such engineer's certificate or independent
engineer's certificate, as the case may be, paid and/or delivered or to be paid
and/or delivered by the Company in connection with such exchange as additional
consideration for such property additions or (b) less the amount of any cash or
the fair value of any other consideration, which shall also be stated in such
engineer's certificate or independent engineer's certificate, as the case may
be, received or to be received by the Company in connection with such exchange
in addition to such property additions.
Any prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions
of this Section shall be held by the Trustee subject to the provisions of
Article XI hereof and any moneys and/or purchase money obligations and/or other
property and/or the proceeds of any thereof and/or substitutes therefor received
by the Trustee under this Section shall be held as part of the mortgaged and
pledged property and such moneys and/or purchase money obligations shall be paid
over, with drawn, used or applied, in the manner, to the extent, and for the
purposes and subject to the conditions provided in Section 68 hereof.
B. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the interest on any
bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed defaults
specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Company may obtain the release, as a whole, of the coal mining properties
located in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Indiana described in Part II of the granting clauses
hereof and/or of the coal mining properties located in Pike County, Indiana
described in Part III of the granting clauses hereof, and/or the land and
buildings located at West Tenth Street and White River Boulevard, Indianapolis,
Indiana, and the Trustee shall release the same from the lien hereof upon the
application of the Company and receipt by the Trustee of
(i) a resolution describing in reasonable detail the property to be
released and requesting such release and stating that the Company has
disposed of or exchanged, or agreed to dispose of or exchange the same;
(ii) a Treasurer's certificate as described in clause (2) of this
Section; and
(iii) cash in the amount of $543,430.65 with respect to the coal
mining properties located in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Indiana, or cash in the
amount of $38,018.05 for the coal mining properties located in Pike County,
Indiana, or cash in the amount of $17,500 with respect to the land and
buildings located at West Tenth Street and White River Boulevard,
Indianapolis, Indiana, to be held by the Trustee as part of the mortgaged
and pledged property and to be paid over, withdrawn, used or applied, in
the manner, to the extent, and for the purposes and subject to the
conditions provided in Section 68 hereof.
SECTION 67. Unless the Company is in default in the payment of the interest
on any bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed defaults
specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee shall whenever from time to time requested by the Company (such request
to be evidenced by a resolution) and without requiring compliance with any of
the provisions of Section 66 hereof, release from the lien hereof real estate
unimproved for use in the conduct of the business of the Company, and the
retention of which is, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company,
no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company, provided the
aggregate value of such real estate so released without such compliance in any
period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months shall not exceed the sum of
Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). Prior to the granting of any such release,
there shall be delivered to the Trustee an engineer's certificate (or an
independent engineer's certificate if an independent engineer's certificate
would be required under subdivision (3) of Section 66, if the release was being
applied for under Section 66) which shall state (a) the fair value in the
opinion of the signers of the property to be released, (b) what portion, if any,
of the property to be released is funded property, (c) that the release thereof
will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the
provisions hereof, and (d) such other facts required to be known by the Trustee
as a condition precedent to action by it under this Section. The Company
covenants that it will deposit with the Trustee, to be dealt with in the manner
provided in Section 68 hereof, the consideration, if any, received by it upon
the sale or other disposition of any such real estate so released (to the extent
that the same shall not have been paid or delivered to the trustee or other
holder of a mortgage or other instrument constituting a prior lien or
constituting a lien prior to the lien of this Indenture in accordance with the
provisions thereof and a Treasurer's certificate to that effect shall have been
furnished to the Trustee).
SECTION 68. (I) Any money received in consideration of any release by the
Trustee under this Article XIII, including payment on account of the principal
of any obligations secured by purchase money mortgage so received, shall be paid
to and held by the Trustee; and, unless the Company is in default in the payment
of the interest on any bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the
completed defaults specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be
continuing, such money and any other money which by the provisions hereof are to
be applied as in this Section provide4 (subject to the provisions of paragraph B
of Section 69 hereof),
(1) may be withdrawn from time to time by the Company in an amount
equal to one hundred and forty-two and six-sevenths per centum (142-6/7%)
of the principal amount of each bond or fraction of a bond to the
authentication and delivery of which the Company shall be entitled under
any of the provisions of this Indenture (other than those contained in
Section 32 hereof and except that against bonds authenticable under Section
31 hereof, money may be withdrawn under this subdivision in an amount equal
only to one hundred per centum (100%) of the principal amount of such
bonds) by virtue of compliance with all applicable provisions of this
Indenture (except any earnings requirements or net earnings certificates)
relating to such authentication and delivery but which have not been
authenticated and delivered; provided, however, that any request for such
withdrawal of money shall, to the extent, and to the extent only, that the
money to be so withdrawn is funded cash, operate as a waiver by the Company
of the right to the authentication and delivery of each such bond or
fraction thereof on the basis of which right such funded cash is withdrawn;
and to such extent no such bond or fraction thereof may thereafter be
authenticated and delivered hereunder and, to such extent, any property
additions which were the basis of such right to the authentication and
delivery of bonds so waived shall have the status of funded property; or
(2) may, upon the request of the Company, evidenced by a resolution
delivered to the Trustee, be used by the Trustee for the purchase of bonds
issued hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 62 hereof; or
(3) may, upon the request of the Company, evidenced by a resolution
delivered to the Trustee, be applied by the Trustee to the redemption of
any bonds issued hereunder as are by their terms redeemable before
maturity, of such series as may be designated by the Company, such
redemption to be in the manner and as provided in Article XII hereof.
Such moneys shall, from time to time, be paid out or used or applied by the
Trustee, as aforesaid, upon the request of the Company evidenced by a
resolution, and upon receipt by the Trustee of a Treasurer's certificate stating
that the Company is not in default in the payment of the interest on any bonds
then outstanding hereunder and that none of the completed defaults specified in
Section 72 hereof has occurred and is continuing. In case the withdrawal of cash
is, in whole or in part, based upon the right to the authentication and delivery
of bonds (as permitted under subdivision (1) of this Section) the Company,
except as otherwise in this Section provided, shall comply with all applicable
provisions of this Indenture relating to such authentication and delivery;
provided, however, that in no such case shall the Company be required to deliver
to the Trustee any resolution or document such as is described in subdivisions
(1), (2), (6) and (10) of Section 30 hereof or such parts of the opinion as are
described in clause (e) of subdivision (7) of said Section 30 or such parts of
the opinion described in subdivision (7) of said Section 30 as relate solely to
the authorization of the issuance of bonds of the Company by governmental
authorities or by the Company or to the supplemental indenture described in
subdivision (10) of Section 30, or to comply with any earnings requirements and
provided further, that if the cash to be withdrawn is not funded cash (i) the
Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of Section 28
hereof, and (ii) that portion of the opinion of counsel required by clause (d)
of subdivision (7) of said Section 30 may state that the property additions made
the basis of the application for the withdrawal are subject to prior liens which
secure prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ which have not ceased to be outstanding under the
provisions of Section 6 hereof; and provided further, that if any such
application for withdrawal of cash on the basis of property additions shall not
operate as a waiver by the Company of the right to the authentication and
delivery of bonds on the basis of such property additions, then none of the
computations set forth in subdivision (H) of Section 4 hereof need be made.
(II) Any such money which shall not have been withdrawn, used or applied
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within three (3) years from
the date of receipt thereof by the Trustee, shall be used or applied by the
Trustee (unless the Company is in default in the payment of interest on any
bonds then outstanding hereunder or one or more of the completed defaults
specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing), as
promptly as the Trustee shall deem reasonable or desirable, to the purchase or
redemption of bonds in the manner provided in subdivisions (2) and (3) of
Section 68 hereof, except that (a) the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall
determine whether and at what time or times bonds shall be purchased or
redeemed, (b) the request by the Company referred to in said subdivisions (2)
and (3) shall not be required, and (c) if more than one series of bonds issued
hereunder shall at the time be outstanding, the Trustee, in its sole discretion,
shall determine the amount of such cash which shall be so applied to the
purchase or redemption of the bonds of each such series. The Company hereby
authorizes the Trustee on its behalf to give notice of intention to redeem any
bonds which are to be redeemed pursuant to the foregoing provisions, in the
manner provided by Section 59 hereof.
Any purchase money mortgage received or to be received by the Trustee under
any of the provisions of this Indenture in consideration of the release of any
property by the Trustee and/or the obligations secured by such purchase money
mortgage, may be released upon payment by the Company to the Trustee of the
principal of such purchase money mortgage or any unpaid portion thereof and/or
of the obligations thereby secured. The Trustee shall be entitled to collect the
principal of and interest on any such purchase money mortgage, and/or of the
obligations thereby secured, as and when the same shall become payable and the
Trustee may take any action which in its judgment may be desirable or necessary
to avail of the security of such purchase money mortgage. Unless the Company is
in default in the payment of the interest on any of the bonds then outstanding
hereunder or one or more of the completed defaults specified in Section 72
hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the interest received by the
Trustee on any such purchase money mortgage or on the obligations thereby
secured shall be paid over to the Company.
Any property acquired by the Company to take the place of any property
released under any provisions of this Article XIII shall forthwith and without
further conveyance become subject to the lien of and be covered by this
Indenture as a part of the mortgaged and pledged property; but the Company
shall, if requested by the Trustee, convey the same, or cause the same to be
conveyed, to the Trustee as may be so requested by appropriate instruments of
conveyance upon the trusts and for the purposes of this Indenture.
Any bonds issued under this Indenture deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to the provisions of this Section shall forthwith be canceled by the Trustee and
at the request of the Company the Trustee may cremate the same and deliver a
certificate of such cremation to the Company, and any prior ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be held by the
Trustee subject to the provisions of Article XI hereof.
SECTION 69. A. Should any of the mortgaged and pledged property be taken by
exercise of the power of eminent domain or should any governmental body or
agency, at any time, exercise any right which it may have to purchase or
designate a purchaser of any part of the mortgaged and pledged property, the
Trustee may release the property so taken or purchased, upon being furnished
with an opinion of counsel to the effect that such property has been taken by
exercise of the power of eminent domain, or purchased in the exercise of a right
which a governmental body or agent had to purchase or designate a purchaser of
the same. The proceeds of all property so taken or purchased shall be paid over
to the Trustee (unless the same shall have been paid or delivered to the trustee
or other holder of a mortgage or other lien constituting a prior lien or lien
prior hereto in accordance with the provisions thereof and a Treasurer's
certificate to that effect shall have been furnished to the Trustee), and, if
paid over to the Trustee hereunder, (a) shall be applied in the manner set forth
in paragraph B of this Section if the provisions of said paragraph B shall be
applicable, or (b) if the provisions of said paragraph B shall not be
applicable, shall thereafter be withdrawn, used or applied in the manner, to the
extent and for the purposes and subject to the conditions provided in Section 68
hereof.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Sections 66 or 68 hereof or
in paragraph A of this Section relating to the withdrawal, use or application of
moneys or other proceeds paid over to the Trustee, which provisions shall be
inapplicable in the events hereinafter stated, should all or substantially all
of the mortgaged and pledged property, or all or substantially all such property
used in the business of generating, manufacturing, transporting, transmitting,
distributing or supplying electricity, be taken by exercise of the power of
eminent domain, or should any governmental body or agency exercise any right
which it may have to purchase or designate a purchaser of the same, or should
such property be sold to any governmental body or agency, then, and in any of
such events, the Company shall have the right to redeem and shall promptly take
all steps as shall be necessary to redeem all bonds outstanding under this
Indenture at the principal amounts thereof and accrued interest to the date of
redemption together with the premiums specified in Section 19 hereof with
respect to the bonds of the 1970 Series, and with such premiums, if any, as may
be provided, in the supplemental indenture establishing any other series of
bonds secured hereby, for the redemption of such bonds pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph B. The Company covenants that in any of such events
it will deposit with the Trustee such an amount in cash, if any, as, when added
to any moneys then held by the Trustee hereunder, shall be required to redeem
all bonds outstanding under this Indenture, and the Trustee shall forthwith take
such steps as may be necessary to effect such redemption and shall apply and use
for such redemption the moneys so deposited with or held by it. If the Company
fails to take any steps necessary to effect the prompt redemption of said bonds,
the Trustee shall have the power in the name of the Company, or otherwise, to
take such steps. If in any of the events described in this paragraph B there
shall be deposited with the Trustee any moneys or other proceeds which are not
required for the redemption of the bonds outstanding hereunder, such cash shall
(subject to the Trustee's lien thereon for its charges, expenses and
disbursements) be forthwith paid over by the Trustee to the Company.
SECTION 70. In case the mortgaged property shall be in the possession of a
receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers hereinbefore conferred upon
the Company with respect to the sale or other disposition of the mortgaged and
pledged property may be exercised, with the approval of the Trustee, by such
receiver or trustee, notwithstanding the Company may be in default and any
request, certificate or appointment made or signed by such receiver or trustee
for such purposes shall be as effective as if made by the Company or its Board
of Directors or any of its officers or appointees in the manner herein provided;
and if the Trustee shall be in possession of the mortgaged and pledged property
under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the
Trustee in its discretion notwithstanding the Company may be in default.
Notwithstanding the existence of a default in the payment of interest on any
bonds then outstanding hereunder or the existence of a completed default
specified in Section 72 hereof, the Trustee may release from the lien hereof any
part of the mortgaged and pledged property upon compliance with the conditions
specified in this Article in respect thereof, if the Trustee in its discretion
shall deem such release for the best interests of the bondholders.
SECTION 71. No purchaser in good faith of property purporting to have been
released hereunder shall be bound to ascertain the authority of the Trustee to
execute the release, or to inquire as to any facts required by the provisions
hereof for the exercise of this authority; nor shall any purchaser or grantee of
any property or rights permitted by this Article to be sold, granted, exchanged
or otherwise disposed of, be under obligation to ascertain or inquire into the
authority of the Company to make any such sale, grant, exchange or other
disposition.

immediately due and payable; subject, however, to the right of the holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of a1l outstanding bonds, by written notice

paid to the Trustee for the benefit of those entitled thereto.
SECTION 73. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence thereof,
give to the bondholders, in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection
(c) of Section 53 hereof, notice of all defaults known to the Trustee, unless
such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term
"defaults" for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to be the
events specified in subdivisions (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of Section 72
hereof not including any periods of grace provided for in said subdivisions and
irrespective of whether the Trustee has given the notice referred to in said
subdivision (f)); and provided that, except in the case of default in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any of the bonds, or in the payment

committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or responsible officers of the
Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the bondholders.
SECTION 74. Upon the occurrence of one or more completed defaults, the
Company, upon demand of the Trustee, shall forthwith surrender to the Trustee
the actual possession of, and it shall be lawful for the Trustee, by such
officer or agent as it may appoint, to take possession of all the mortgaged and
pledged property (with the books, papers and accounts of the Company), and to
hold, operate and manage the same, and from time to time to make all needful
repairs and such extensions, additions and improvements as to the Trustee shall
seem wise; and to receive the tolls, rents, revenues, issues, earnings, income,
products and profits thereof, and out of the same to pay all proper costs and
expenses of so taking, holding and managing the same, including reasonable
compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any charges of the
Trustee hereunder, and any taxes and assessments and other charges prior to the
lien of this Indenture which the Trustee may deem it wise to pay, and all
expenses of such repairs, extensions, additions and improvements, and to apply
the remainder of the moneys so received by the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 83 hereof with respect to extended, transferred or pledged
coupons or claims for interest, first to the payment of the instalments of
interest which are due and unpaid, in the order of their maturity, and next, if
the principal of any of said bonds is due, to the payment of the principal and
accrued interest thereon at the same rate as is expressed in the bonds pro rata
without any preference or priority whatever, except as' aforesaid. Whenever all
that is due upon such bonds and instalments of interest and under any of the
terms of this Indenture shall have been paid and all defaults made good, the
Trustee shall surrender possession to the Company, its successors or assigns;
the same right of entry, however, to exist upon any subsequent default.
SECTION 75. Upon the occurrence of one or more completed defaults it shall
be lawful for the Trustee, by such officer or agent as it may appoint, with or
without entry, to sell all the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety, or
in such parcels as the holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds
outstanding hereunder shall in writing request, or in the absence of such
request, as the Trustee may determine, at public auction, at some convenient
place in Indianapolis, Indiana, or such other place or places as may be required
by law, having first given notice of such sale by publication in at least one
daily newspaper of general circulation, published in Indianapolis, Indiana (if
there be such a daily newspaper), at least once in each of four (4) successive
calendar weeks (on any secular day of each such calendar week) next preceding
such sale, and by like publication in at least one daily newspaper published and
of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and
any other notice which may be required by law, and from time to time to adjourn
such sale in its discretion by announcement at the time and place fixed for such
sale without further notice, and upon such sale to make and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed or deeds for the same, which
sale shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Company
and all persons, firms and corporations lawfully claiming or who may claim by,
through or under it.
SECTION 76. In case of the breach of any of the covenants or conditions of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall have the right and power to take appropriate
judicial proceedings for the enforcement of its rights and the rights of the
bondholders hereunder. In case of a completed default hereunder, the Trustee may
either after entry, or without entry, proceed by suit or suits at law or in
equity to enforce payment of the bonds then outstanding hereunder and to
foreclose this Indenture and to sell the mortgaged and pledged property under
the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and it shall be
obligatory upon the Trustee to take action either by such proceedings or by the
exercise of its powers with respect to entry or sale upon being requested so to
do by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds then
outstanding hereunder and upon being indemnified, except to the extent that such
indemnity is precluded under the provisions of Sections 97 and 98.
No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein; and every such right and
power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.
No waiver of any default hereunder, whether by the Trustee or by the
bondholders, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall
impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.
In all proceedings for the foreclosure of this Indenture, reasonable
compensation for the services of the Trustee in case it shall act, and all costs
and expenses incurred without negligence or bad faith, including all expenses of
preparing for trial and trial, reasonable attorneys' fees, stenographer's fees
or reporter's fees or charges for taking or transcribing any statement of
witnesses or testimony or evidence given or heard therein, expenses of procuring
testimony and evidence, the cost of procuring abstracts of title and
continuations thereof, opinion of title or a title guarantee policy or policies
and documentary evidence, if any, and printing bills incurred by the Trustee in
any proceeding, or in the preparation therefor, shall become so much additional
indebtedness secured by this Indenture, prior and superior to the bonds secured
hereby and until the same are paid, such legal proceedings shall not be
dismissed.
SECTION 77. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding
hereunder shall have the right, at any time, by an instrument in writing
executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the time, method and place of
conducting all proceedings to be taken for any sale of the mortgaged and pledged
property, or for the foreclosure of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or any other proceedings hereunder for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or for exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under
this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in
accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture.
SECTION 78. In case of a completed default hereunder, and upon the filing
of a ▇▇▇▇ in equity, or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce
the rights of the Trustee and of the bondholders under this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a
receiver or receivers of the mortgaged and pledged property, and of the tolls,
rents, revenues, issues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending
and/or during such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such
appointment shall confer.
SECTION 79. Upon any sale being made either under the power of sale hereby
given or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for the
foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Indenture, the principal of
all bonds then secured hereby, if not previously due, shall at once become and
be immediately due and payable.
SECTION 80. Upon any sale made either under the power of sale hereby given
or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for foreclosure or
otherwise for the enforcement of this Indenture, any bondholder or bondholders
may bid for and purchase the mortgaged and pledged property or any part thereof
and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and
dispose of such property in his, their or its own absolute right without further
accountability, and any purchasers at any such sale may, in paying the purchase
money, turn in any of the bonds and coupons or claims for interest outstanding
hereunder in lieu of cash to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the
net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, subject, however, to the
provisions in respect to extended, pledged and transferred coupons and claims
for interest contained in Section 83 hereof. Said bonds and coupons, in case the
amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be
returned to the holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show
partial payment.
SECTION 81. Upon any sale made either under the power of sale hereby given
or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for the foreclosure or
otherwise for the enforcement of this Indenture, the receipt of the Trustee or
of the officer making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser
or purchasers at any sale for his or their purchase money and such purchaser or
purchasers, his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after
paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee or of such
officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money,
or be in any wise answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application
thereof.
SECTION 82. Any sale made either under the power of sale hereby given or
under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for foreclosure or
otherwise for the enforcement of this Indenture, shall operate to divest all
right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity,
of the Company, of, in and to the property so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar
both at law and in equity against the Company, its successors and assigns and
against any and all persons, firms or corporations claiming or who may claim the
property sold or any part thereof, from, through or under the Company, its
successors or assigns.
SECTION 83. The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale
hereby given, or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for the
foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Indenture, together with
any other amounts of cash which may then be held by the Trustee as part of the
mortgaged and pledged property, shall be applied, as follows:
First--To the payment of all taxes, assessments, governmental charges
or liens prior to the lien of this Indenture, except those subject to which
such sale shall have been made, and of all the costs and expenses of such
foreclosure and sale, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its
agents and attorneys, and of all other sums payable to the Trustee
hereunder as compensation for all other services and/or by reason of any
expenses or liabilities incurred or advances made in connection with the
management or administration of the trusts hereby created;
Second--To the payment in full of the amounts then due and unpaid for
principal and interest upon the bonds then secured hereby; and in case such
proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts so due and
unpaid, then to the payment thereof ratably, with interest on the overdue
principal at the rates expressed in the bonds, without preference or
priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of
any instalment of interest over any other instalment of interest; provided,
however, that if the time for the payment of any coupon or claim for
interest upon any of the bonds secured hereby shall have been extended
(except pursuant to action taken under Article XX hereof) by or with the
consent of the Company, or if any thereof at or after maturity shall have
been transferred or pledged separate from the bond to which they relate,
such coupons or claims for interest shall not be entitled in case of
default hereunder to the benefit or security of this Indenture except after
the prior payment in full of the principal of all bonds issued hereunder
and then secured hereby and of all coupons and claims for interest on such
bonds the payment of which has not been so extended, or not so transferred
or pledged; but the foregoing proviso shall not be applicable to any coupon
or claim for interest, the time for the payment of. which shall have been
extended, if such extension be pursuant to a plan proposed by the Company
to all holders of any one or more series of bonds then outstanding and
accepted by or binding upon the holder of such coupon or claim for
interest;
Third--Any surplus thereof remaining to the Company, its successors or
assigns or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
SECTION 84. In case of a default on its part, as aforesaid, neither the
Company nor any one claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim, or
seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation stay, extension or
redemption laws now or hereafter in force in any locality where any of the
mortgaged and pledged property may be situated, in order to prevent or hinder
the enforcement or foreclosure of this Indenture, or the absolute sale of the
mortgaged and pledged property, or the final and absolute putting into
possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchaser or purchasers
thereat, but the Company, for itself and all who may claim through or under it,
hereby waives the benefit of all such laws and hereby waives all right of
appraisement and redemption to which it may be entitled under the laws of the
State of Indiana or of any other state where any of the mortgaged and pledged
property may be situated. And the Company, for itself and all who may claim
through or under it, waives any and all right to have the estates comprised in
the security intended to be created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of the
lien hereof, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such
lien may sell the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety.
SECTION 85. The Company covenants that if default shall be made in the
payment of the principal of any bonds hereby secured when the same shall become
payable, whether by the maturity of said bonds or otherwise, then upon demand of
the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders
of the bonds and coupons then secured hereby the whole amount due and payable on
all such bonds and coupons for principal and interest, with interest upon the
overdue principal at the same rate borne by the bonds which are overdue; and in
case the Company shall fail to pay the same forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee in its own name and as trustee of an express trust shall be entitled to
▇▇▇ for and to recover judgment for the whole amount so due and unpaid.
The Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to ▇▇▇ and
recover judgment either before or after or during the pendency of any
proceedings for the enforcement of the lien of this Indenture upon the mortgaged
and pledged property, and in case of a sale of any of the mortgaged and pledged
property and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the
debt hereby secured, the Trustee in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive all amounts then
remaining due and unpaid upon any and all of the bonds and coupons then
outstanding hereunder, for the benefit of the holders thereof, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining
unpaid, with interest. No recovery of any such judgment by the Trustee and no
levy of any execution upon any such judgment upon any of the mortgaged and
pledged property or upon any other property shall in any manner or to any extent
affect the lien of this Indenture upon the mortgaged and pledged property or any
part thereof, or any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee hereunder, or any
lien, rights, powers or remedies of the holders of the said bonds, but such
lien, rights, powers and remedies of the Trustee and of the bondholders shall
continue unimpaired as before.
Any moneys thus collected or received by the Trustee under this Section
shall be applied by it first, to the payment of its expenses, disbursements and
compensation and the expenses, disbursements and compensation of its agents and
attorneys, and, second, toward payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon
such bonds and coupons in respect of which such moneys shall have been
collected, ratably and without preference or priority of any kind (subject to
the provisions of Section 83 hereof with respect to extended, transferred or
pledged coupons and claims for interest) according to the amounts due and
payable upon such bonds and coupons, respectively, at the date fixed by the
Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several
bonds and coupons and upon stamping such payment thereon, if partially paid, and
upon surrender thereof, if fully paid.
In case of any reorganization, receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings affecting the Company or its property the Trustee shall have power
to intervene and take any action therein that may be permitted by the Court and
shall be entitled to file and prove a claim for the entire amount due and
payable by the Company under this Indenture at the date of the institution of
such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable
by the Company hereunder after such date, without regard to or deduction for any
amount which may have been or which may thereafter be received, collected or
realized by the Trustee from or out of the mortgaged and pledged property or any
part thereof or from or out of the proceeds thereof or any part thereof.
The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective
holders of bonds and coupons issued hereunder, by taking and holding the same,
shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee) the true and
lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective holders of the bonds and coupons
issued hereunder, with authority to make or file, irrespective of whether the
bonds or any of them are in default as to payment of principal or interest, in
the respective names of the holders of the bonds or coupons or in behalf of all
holders of the bonds or coupons as a class, any proof of debt, amendment to
proof of debt, petition or other document, and to do and perform any and all
acts and things for and in behalf of the respective holders of the bonds or
coupons as a class, as may be necessary or advisable, in the opinion of the
Trustee, in order to have the respective claims of the holders of the bonds or
coupons against the Company allowed in any equity receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceedings to which
the Company shall be a party and to receive payment of or on account of such
claims; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy is hereby authorized
by each of the bondholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the bondholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for compensation and
expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by it up to the date of such
distribution. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the
Trustee to accept any composition or plan of reorganization on behalf of
bondholders or to surrender any rights of bondholders.
SECTION 86. All rights of action (including the right to file proof of
claim) under this Indenture or under any of the bonds or coupons, may be
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the bonds or coupons or
the production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative thereto and any
such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name
as Trustee and any recovery of judgment shall be for the equal benefit of the
holders of the outstanding bonds and coupons, subject to the provisions of
Section 83 hereof with respect to extended, transferred or pledged coupons and
claims for interest.
SECTION 87. No holders of any bond or coupon shall have any right to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure
of this Indenture or for the execution of any trust hereof or for the
appointment of a receiver or any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder
shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a completed
default, nor unless also the holders of twenty-five per centum (25%) in
principal amount of the bonds then outstanding hereunder shall have made written
request to the Trustee and shall have offered it reasonable opportunity either
to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such
action, suit or proceeding in its own name, nor unless also they shall have
offered to the Trustee adequate security and indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; it being understood
and intended that no one or more holders of the bonds or coupons shall have any
right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this
Indenture by his or their action or to enforce any right hereunder except in the
manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be
instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal
benefit of all holders of outstanding bonds and coupons.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 88 or any other provision of this
Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, nothing in this Indenture or in
any such supplemental indenture contained shall affect or impair the right of
any bondholder, which is absolute and unconditional, to enforce the payment of
the principal of and interest on his bonds at and after the maturity thereof as
therein expressed or the obligation of the Company, which is also absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on each of the bonds issued
hereunder to the respective holders thereof at the time and place in said bonds
and the appurtenant coupons expressed.
SECTION 88. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, all the
parties hereto agree, and each holder or owner of any bond by his acceptance
thereof after the date of the execution hereof shall be deemed to have agreed,
that any Court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an under taking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
Court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any bondholder or group of bondholders,
holding in the aggregate more than ten per centum (10%) in principal amount of
the bonds outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any bondholder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any bond, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such bond.
SECTION 89. The Company may waive any period of grace provided for in this
Article.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined
adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the
Trustee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with
respect to the mortgaged and pledged property, and all rights, remedies and
powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
ARTICLE XV.

Indenture may require or permit to be signed and executed by the bondholders,
may be in any number of concurrent instruments of similar tenor, and shall be
signed or executed by such bondholders in person or by attorney appointed in
writing. Proof of the execution of any such request or other instrument, or of a
writing appointing any such attorney, or of the holding by any person of the
bonds or coupons appertaining thereto, may be made in the following manner:

and serial numbers thereof, held by such person, and the date of his
holding the same, may be proved by a certificate executed by any trust
company, bank, banker or other depositary wherever situated, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that
at the date therein mentioned such person had on deposit with such
depositary, the bonds described in such certificate. The Trustee may
nevertheless in its discretion require further proof in cases where it
deems further proof desirable. The ownership of registered bonds shall be

any such registered holder or upon his order, shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such bond to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be bound to recognize any person
as the holder of a bond outstanding under this Indenture unless and until his

provided by regulations made under Section 120 hereof, and his title thereto
satisfactorily established, if disputed.

the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any corporation having
corporate authority to carry on any of the businesses mentioned in Section 4 of
this Indenture, or any conveyance, transfer or lease, subject to the lien of
this Indenture, of all or substantially all the mortgaged and pledged property
as an entirety to any corporation lawfully entitled to acquire or lease and
operate the same; provided, how ever, and the Company covenants and agrees, that
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be upon such
terms as fully to preserve and in no respect to impair the lien or security of
this Indenture, or any of the rights or powers of the Trustee or the bondholders

be consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, or shall convey or
transfer, subject to the lien of this Indenture, all or substantially all the
mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety, the successor corporation formed

which shall have received a conveyance or transfer as aforesaid--upon executing
and causing to be recorded an indenture with the Trustee, satisfactory to the
Trustee whereby such successor corporation shall assume and agree to pay, duly

accordance with the provisions of said bonds and coupons and this Indenture, and
shall agree to perform and fulfill all the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be kept or performed by the Company-- shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named
herein, and shall have and may exercise under this Indenture the same powers and
rights as the Company, and (without in anywise limiting or impairing by the
enumeration of the same the scope and intent of the foregoing general powers and
rights) such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be executed,
authenticated and delivered, either in its own name or in the name of
Indianapolis Power & Light Company, as its name shall then exist, in respect of
property of the character defined in Section 4 hereof as property additions,
such bonds as could or might have been executed, issued and delivered by the
Company had it acquired such property of such character by purchase on the date
of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and had such
consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer not occurred, and upon the order
of such successor corporation in lieu of the Company, and subject to all the
terms, conditions and restrictions in this Indenture prescribed, concerning the

this Indenture, cause to be executed and delivered to the Trustee for such
purpose, and such successor corporation shall also have and may exercise in
respect of the property of such character, and subject to all the terms,
conditions and restrictions in this Indenture prescribed applicable thereto,
whether as to withdrawal of cash, release of property or otherwise, the same
powers and rights which the Company might or could exercise had it acquired the
property of such character by purchase on the date of such consolidation,
merger, conveyance or transfer and had such consolidation, merger, conveyance or
transfer not occurred. All the bonds so issued shall in all respects have the
same legal right and security as the bonds theretofore issued in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture as though all of said bonds had been authenticated
and delivered at the date of the execution hereof. As a condition precedent to
the execution by such successor corporation and the authentication and delivery
by the Trustee of any such additional bonds or the withdrawal of cash or the
release of property under any of the provisions of this Indenture or a credit
under the provisions of Section 41 hereof, on the basis of property of the
character defined in Section 4 hereof as property additions acquired, made or
constructed by the successor corporation, or by any corporation with which the
Company or any successor corporation may be so consolidated or into which the
Company or any successor corporation may be so merged or to which the Company or
any successor corporation may make any such conveyance, the indenture with the
Trustee to be executed and caused to be recorded by the successor corporation as
in this Article XVII provided or a subsequent indenture shall contain a
conveyance or transfer and mortgage in terms sufficient to subject such property
to the lien hereof; and provided further that the lieu created thereby and the
lien thereof shall have similar force, effect and standing as the lien of this
Indenture would have if the Company should not be consolidated with or merged
into such other corporation or should not convey or transfer, subject to this
Indenture, all or substantially all the mortgaged and pledged property as an
entirety, as aforesaid, to such successor corporation, and should itself on the
date of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, acquire or construct
such property, and request the authentication and delivery of bonds or the
withdrawal of cash or the release of property under the provisions of this
Indenture in respect thereof or a credit under the provisions of Section 41
hereof.
To the extent permitted by Sections 97 and 98, the Trustee may receive an
opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such assumption and any such
lien and any such indenture comply with the foregoing conditions and provisions
of this Section.
SECTION 95. In case the Company, as permitted by Section 93 of this
Indenture, shall be consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, or
shall convey or transfer, subject to this Indenture, all or substantially all
the mortgaged and pledged property as an entirety as aforesaid, neither this
Indenture nor the indenture with the Trustee to be executed and caused to be
recorded by the successor corporation as in this Article XVII hereof provided,
shall, unless such indenture shall otherwise provide, become or be a lien upon
any of the property or franchises of the successor corp9ration except (a) those
acquired by it from the Company and appurtenant thereto and property which the
successor corporation shall thereafter acquire or construct which shall form an
integral part of, and be essential or convenient to the use or operation of, any
property then or thereafter subject to the lien hereof, (b) the property made
and used by the successor corporation as the basis under any of the provisions
of this Indenture for the authentication and delivery of additional bonds or the
withdrawal of cash or the release of property or a credit under the provisions
of Section 41 hereof and (c) such franchises, repairs and additional property as
may be acquired, made or constructed by the successor corporation (1) to
maintain, renew and preserve the franchises covered by this Indenture or to
maintain the mortgaged and pledged property as an operating system or systems in
good repair, working order and condition, or (2) in pursuance of some covenant
or agreement hereof to be kept or performed by the Company. Unless and until the
successor corporation shall subject all the properties of the successor
corporation to the lien of this Indenture, it shall in case of any merger,
consolidation or transfer keep the accounts of the successor corporation so that
the earnings of the mortgaged and pledged property may be at all times
distinguished, and all covenants herein contained affecting the mortgaged and
pledged property be fully performed.
ARTICLE XVIII.
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE.
SECTION 96. The Trustee shall at all times be a bank or trust company

United States or of the State of Illinois or of the State of New York, with a
capital and surplus of at least $2,500,000 and authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If the Trustee publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or
examining authority referred to in this Section, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of the Trustee shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published.
The Company covenants that whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in
the office of Trustee, it will, in the manner provided in Section 113 hereof,
appoint a Trustee so that there shall at all times be a Trustee eligible under
this Section.
SECTION 97. The Trustee hereby accepts the trust hereby created. The
Trustee undertakes, prior to a completed default, and after the curing of all
completed defaults which may have occurred, to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and in case of a
completed default (which has not been cured) to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of evidence furnished to it by or on behalf of
the Company pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, will examine the same
to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the requirements of this
Indenture.
SECTION 98. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that
(a) prior to completed default hereunder and after the curing of all
completed defaults which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee but the duties and obligations of the Trustee,
prior to completed default and after the curing of all completed defaults which
may have occurred, shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Indenture; and
(b) prior to completed default hereunder and after the curing of all
completed defaults which may have occurred, and in the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers of the Trustee unless it
shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts; and
(d) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
bonds at the time outstanding (determined as provided in Section 2 hereof)
relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Indenture.
SECTION 99. The recitals of fact contained herein and in the bonds shall be
taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the
value of the mortgaged and pledged property or any part thereof, or as to the
title of the Company thereto, or as to the validity or adequacy of the security
afforded thereby and hereby, or as to the validity of this Indenture or of the
bonds or coupons issued hereunder.
SECTION 100. Subject to the provisions of Sections 97 and 98, the Trustee
shall not be personally liable in case of entry by it upon the mortgaged and
pledged property for debts contracted or liability or damages incurred in the
management or operation of said property.
SECTION 101. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture
is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee on the Company
shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served, for all purposes, by
being deposited postage prepaid in a post-office letter box addressed (until
another address is filed by the Company with the Trustee for the purposes of
this Section), as follows: Indianapolis Power & Light Company, Indianapolis,
Indiana.
SECTION 102. To the extent permitted by Sections 97 and 98:
(1) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any
resolution, certificate, opinion, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, report, bond, or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties; and
(2) The Trustee may consult with counsel selected by it and the
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
SECTION 103. The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility for the
approval or selection of any expert for any of the purposes expressed in this
Indenture, except that nothing in this Section contained shall relieve the
Trustee of its obligation to exercise reasonable care with respect to the
approval or selection of independent experts who may furnish opinions or
certificates to the Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Indenture.
Any resolution of the Board of Directors or Executive Committee shall be
evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted.

of the Trustee to exercise after a completed default the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture with the degree of care and skill specified in
Section 97.
SECTION 104. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of bonds or coupons secured hereby with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 105. Subject to the provisions of Section 130 hereof, all moneys
received by the Trustee whether as Trustee or paying agent shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they
were paid, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee may allow and credit to the Company interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder at such rate, if any, as may be agreed upon with
the Company from time to time and as may be permitted by law.
SECTION 106. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from
time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for
all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in
the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the
Trustee, which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust, and the Company
will reimburse the Trustee with interest for all advances made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture and will pay to the
Trustee from time to time its expenses and disbursements (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all persons not regularly in its employ). The Company also covenants to
indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
trust, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of
liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
this Section shall constitute additional indebtedness secured hereby. Such
additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the bonds
upon the trust estate, including all property or funds held or collected by the
Trustee as such.
SECTION 107. Whenever in the administration of the trusts of this
Indenture, prior to a completed default hereunder, the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by a certificate signed by the President or a
Vice-President and the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken or suffered by it under the provisions of this
Indenture upon the faith thereof.
SECTION 108. Whenever it is provided in this Indenture that the Trustee
shall take any action upon the happening of a specified event or upon the
fulfillment of any condition or upon the request of the Company or of
bondholders, the Trustee taking such action shall have full power to give any
and all notices and to do any and all acts and things incidental to such action.
SECTION 109. (a) If the Trustee has or acquires any conflicting interest,
as defined by subsection (d) of this Section, the Trustee shall within 90 days
after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, either eliminate such
conflicting interest or resign by giving written notice to the Company, but such
resignation shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor
trustee and such successor's acceptance of such appointment. The Company
covenants to take prompt steps to have a successor appointed in the manner
hereinafter provided in Section 113. Upon giving such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee shall publish notice thereof in one daily newspaper printed in
the English language of general circulation in the City of Chicago, State of
Illinois, once in each of three successive calendar weeks, in each case on any
business day of the week, which need not be the same day in each week. If the
resigning Trustee fails to publish such notice within ten days after giving
written notice of its resignation to the Company, the Company shall publish such
notice.
(b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions
of the preceding subsection (a) of this Section, the Trustee shall within 10
days after the expiration of such 90 day period transmit notice of such failure
to the bondholders, in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c)
of Section 53 hereof with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of
Section 53 hereof.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 88 hereof any bondholder who has
been a bona fide holder of a bond or bonds for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor if the Trustee fails, after written request therefor by such holder,
to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section.
(d) The Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest if--
(1) the Trustee is trustee under another indenture under which any
other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other
securities, of the Company are outstanding, except as otherwise provided in
Paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939;
(2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an
obligor upon the bonds or an underwriter for the Company;
(3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or
indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with
the Company or an underwriter for the Company;
(4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a
director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of the
Company, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the
Company who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting, except
that (A) one individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of
the Trustee and a director and/or an executive officer of the Company, but
may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and
the Company; (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the Trustee
in office is more than nine, one additional individual may be a director
and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director of the Company;
and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or by any underwriter
for the Company to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar,
custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary or in any
other similar capacity or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of
this subsection, to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise;
(5) 10 per centum or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is
beneficially owned either by the Company or by any director, partner or
executive officer thereof, or 20 per centum or more of such voting
securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more of such
persons; or 10 per centum or more of the voting securities of the Trustee
is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the Company or by any
director, partner or executive officer thereof, or is beneficially owned,
collectively, by any two or more such persons;
(6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of or holds as collateral
security for an obligation which is in default, (A) 5 per centum or more of
the voting securities or 10 per centum or more of any other class of
security of the Company, not including the bonds issued under this
Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the
Trustee is also trustee, or (B) 10 per centum or more of any class of
security of an underwriter for the Company;
(7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral
security for an obligation which is in default, 5 per centum or more of the
voting securities of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns
ten per centum or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or
indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with, the Company;
(8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of or holds as collateral
security for an obligation which is in default, 10 per centum or more of
any class of security of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee,
owns 50 per centum or more of the voting securities of the Company; or
(9) the Trustee owns on May 15th in any calendar year in the capacity
of executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian,
committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of
25 per centum or more of the voting securities or of any class of security,
of any person, the beneficial ownership of a specified percentage of which
would have constituted a conflicting interest under paragraph (6), (7), or
(8) of this subsection. As to any such securities of which the Trustee
acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary
trustee of an estate which included them, the provisions of the preceding
sentence shall not apply for a period of two years from the date of such
acquisition, to the extent that such securities included in such estate do
not exceed 25 per centum of such voting securities or 25 per centum of any
such class of security. Promptly after May 15th, in each calendar year, the
Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the
above-mentioned capacities as of May 15th. If the Company fails to make
payment in full of principal or interest upon the bonds when and as the
same become due and payable, and such failure continues for thirty days
thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such
securities in any of the above- mentioned capacities as of the date of the
expiration of such thirty-day period and after such date, notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all such securities so held by
the Trustee with sole or joint control over such securities vested in it,
shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered as
though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs
(6), (7), and (8) of this subsection (d).
The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of
this subsection shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such
percentages of the securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient
to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or
(7) of this subsection.
For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (d)
only, (A) the terms "security" and "securities" shall include only such
securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include
any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to
repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust companies or banking
firms or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or
evidence of indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in default
when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for thirty days or
more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be deemed to
be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it holds as collateral security
(as trustee or otherwise) for an obligation which is not in default as above
defined, or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral security under this
Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it
holds as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent or depositary, or
in any similar representative capacity.
For the purposes of this subsection (d) only, the term "voting security"
shall mean any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote
in the direction or management of the affairs of a person, or any security
issued under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement whereby a
trustee or trustees or agent or agents for the owner or holder of such security
are presently entitled to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of
a person.
For the purposes of this subsection (d) only, the term "director" shall
mean any director of a corporation or any individual performing similar
functions with respect to any organization, whether incorporated or
unincorporated.
For the purposes of this subsection (d) only, the term "executive officer"
shall mean the President, every Vice-President, every Trust Officer, the
Cashier, the Secretary and the Treasurer of a corporation, and any individual
customarily performing similar functions with respect to any organization,
whether incorporated or unincorporated, but shall not include the Chairman of
the Board of Directors.
For the purposes of this subsection (d) only, the term "underwriter" when
used with reference to the Company means every person who, within three (3)
years prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased
from the Company with a view to, or has sold for the Company in connection with,
the distribution of any security of the Company, or has participated or has had
a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated
or has had a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such
undertaking, but such term shall not include a person whose interest was limited
to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and
customary distributors' or sellers' commission.
For the purposes of this subsection (d) only, the term "Company" shall
include any obligor on bonds secured hereby.
(e) The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in
subsection (d) of this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the
following provisions:
(i) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee,
the Company or any other person referred to in this Section (each of whom
is referred to as a "person" in this subsection (e)) means such amount of
the outstanding voting securities of such person as entitles the holder or
holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the aggregate votes
which the holders of all the outstanding voting securities of such person
are entitled to cast in the direction or management of the affairs of such
person.
(ii) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a person means
such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class
outstanding.
(iii) The term "amount", when used in regard to securities, means the
principal amount if relating to evidences of indebtedness, the number of
shares if relating to capital shares, and the number of units if relating

(1) Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to
securities of the issuer of the same class;
(2) Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to
another class of securities of the issuer, if the obligation evidenced
by such other class of securities is not in default as to principal or
interest or otherwise;
(3) Securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an
obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or
otherwise:
(4) Securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer
thereof;
provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed
outstanding if any person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the
voting rights thereof.
(v) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another
security if both securities confer upon the holder or holders thereof
substantially the same rights and privileges, provided, however, that, in
the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued
under a single indenture, differences in the interest rates or maturity
dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to
constitute such series different classes, and provided, further, that, in
the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the
interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to
constitute them securities of different classes, whether or not they are
issued under a single indenture.
(f) If a separate or co-trustee is appointed pursuant to Section 114, the
provisions of this Section which have been made specifically applicable to the
Trustee, shall also apply to any separate or cotrustee, except that in case of
the resignation of a separate or cotrustee such resignation and the appointment
of a successor shall (subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section) be governed by the provisions of paragraph (3) of Section 114.
SECTION 110. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or
indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company within four months prior to a
default (as defined in the last paragraph of this subsection), or subsequent to
such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee
shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee
individually, the holders of the bonds, and the holders of other indenture
securities (as defined in the last paragraph of this subsection)
(1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and
owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest
effected after the beginning of such four months' period and valid as
against the Company and its other creditors, except any such reduction
resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in
paragraph (2) of this subsection or from the exercise of any right of
set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy
had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default; and
(2) all property received in respect of any claim as such creditor,
either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or
otherwise after the beginning of such four months' period, or an amount
equal to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject,
however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in
such property or such proceeds.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee
(A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any
such claim by any person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon,
and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the
Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in cash,
securities, or other property in respect of claims filed against the
Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law;
(B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as
security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the
beginning of such four months' period;
(C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the
claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for
any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such four
months' period and such property was received as security therefor
simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain
the burden of proving that at the time such property was so received the
Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default as defined in the
last paragraph of this subsection would occur within four months; or
(D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or
(C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as
provided in paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the
fair value of such property.
For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C), and (D), property substituted after the
beginning of such four months' period for property held as security at the time
of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property
released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that
any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in
substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing
claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as
such pre-existing claim.
If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in
such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between the
Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities in such
manner that the Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture
securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and
payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act
or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured
before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt
by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account and
before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, the bondholders, and
the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the
Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law, but after crediting
thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective
claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and
property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with
respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with
respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for
reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law, whether
such distribution is made in cash, securities, or other property, but shall not
include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of
such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership, or proceeding for
reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the
Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities, in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in
such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such
apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph
due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to
the Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities,
with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be
necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other
property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to
make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and
unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this
paragraph as a mathematical formula. To the extent that the claim of the Trustee
has been reduced in amount or satisfied by the receipt of moneys or property
which later have been apportioned to the Bondholders and the holders of other
indenture securities on an accounting, as hereinabove provided, such claim of
the Trustee shall be reinstated in amount.
Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such
four months' period shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection as
though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned
or been removed prior to the beginning of such four months' period, it shall be
subject to the provisions of this subsection if and only if the following
conditions exist--
(i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have
given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as
trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four months' period; and
(ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within
four months after such resignation or removal.
As used in this Section, the term "default" means any failure to make
payment in full of the principal of or interest upon the bonds or upon the other
indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and
payable; and the term "other indenture securities" means securities upon which
the Company is an obligor (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939)
outstanding under any other indenture (a) under which the Trustee is also
trustee, (b) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions
of this subsection, and (c) under which a default exists at the time of the
apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account.
(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this
Section a creditor relationship arising from--
(1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any
indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or
more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee; and for the purposes of
this paragraph the term "security" shall mean any note, bond, debenture,
evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any
profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization
certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, or, in general, any
interest or instrument commonly known as a "security" or any certificate of

upon which such resignation shall take effect and thereafter publishing notice
thereof, in one daily newspaper printed in the English language and of general
circulation in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, once in each of three
successive calendar weeks, in each case on any business day of the week, which
need not be the same day in each week, and such resignation shall take effect
upon the day specified in such notice unless previously a successor trustee
shall have been appointed by the bondholders or the Company in the manner
hereinafter provided in Section 113, and in such event such resignation shall
take effect immediately on the appointment of such successor trustee. This
Section shall not be applicable to resignations pursuant to Section 109.
SECTION 112. The Trustee may be removed at any time by an instrument or
concurrent instruments in writing filed with the Trustee and signed and
acknowledged by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds then
outstanding (determined as provided in Section 2 hereof) or by their attorneys

In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 96, then the Trustee shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect specified in Section 111, and, in the event that
the Trustee does not resign immediately in such case, then it may be removed

Trustee and either (a) signed by the President or a Vice-President of the
Company with its corporate seal attested by a Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company or (b) signed and acknowledged by the holders of a

SECTION 113. In case at any time the Trustee shall resign or shall be
removed (unless the Trustee shall be removed as provided in subsection (c) of
Section 109 in which event the vacancy shall be filled as provided in said
subsection) or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt
or insolvent, or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or if any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, a vacancy shall be deemed to exist in the office of Trustee, and a
successor or successors may be appointed by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the bonds then outstanding hereunder (determined as provided
in Section 2 hereof), by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing
signed and acknowledged by such bondholders or by their attorneys in fact duly

to the Company and the retiring trustee; provided, nevertheless, that until a
new trustee shall be appointed by the bondholders as aforesaid, the Company, by
instrument executed by order of its Board of Directors or Executive Committee
and duly acknowledged by its President or a Vice-President, may appoint a
trustee to fill such vacancy until a new trustee shall be appointed by the
bondholders as herein authorized. The Company shall publish notice of any such
appointment made by it in the manner provided in Section 111. Any new trustee
appointed by the Company shall, immediately and without further act, be
superseded by a trustee appointed by the bondholders as above provided, if such
appointment by the bondholders be made prior to the expiration of one year after
the first publication of notice of the appointment of the new trustee by the
Company.
If in a proper case no appointment of a successor trustee shall be made
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within 6 months after a
vacancy shall have occurred in the office of trustee, the holder of any bond
outstanding hereunder or any retiring trustee may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee. Said court may thereupon
after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint
a successor trustee.
If the Trustee resigns because of a conflict of interest as provided in
subsection (a) of Section 109 and a successor has not been appointed by the
Company or the bondholders or, if appointed, has not accepted the appointment
within 30 days after the date of such resignation, the resigning Trustee may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
Any trustee appointed under the provisions of this Section in succession to
the Trustee shall be a bank or trust company eligible under Section 96 and
qualified under Section 109.
Any trustee which has resigned or been removed shall nevertheless retain
the lien upon the mortgaged or pledged property, including all property or funds
held or collected by the trustee as such, to secure the amounts due to the
trustee as compensation, reimbursement, expenses and indemnity, afforded to it
by Section 106.
SECTION 114. At any time or times, for the purpose of conforming to any
legal requirements, restrictions or conditions in any State or jurisdiction in
which any part of the mortgaged and pledged property then subject to this
Indenture may be located, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to
appoint, and, upon the request of the Trustee the Company shall for such purpose
join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of, all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint another corporation or
one or more persons approved by the Trustee, either to act as separate trustee
or trustees, or co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, of all or
any of the property subject to the lien hereof. In the event that the Company
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such
appointment.
Every separate trustee, every co-trustee and every successor trustee, other
than any trustee which may be appointed as successor to American National Bank
and Trust Company of Chicago shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such
extent only, be appointed subject to the following provisions and conditions,
namely:
(1) The rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon trustees hereunder or any of them shall be conferred or imposed upon
and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees jointly, as shall be
provided in the supplemental indenture appointing such separate trustee or
separate trustees or cotrustee or co- trustees, except to the extent that
under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees;
(2) The bonds secured hereby shall be authenticated and delivered, and
all powers, duties, obligations and rights, conferred upon the Trustee in
respect of the custody of all bonds and other securities and of all cash
pledged or deposited hereunder, shall be exercised solely by American
National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or its successor in the trust
hereunder;
(3) The Company and the Trustee, at any time by an instrument in
writing executed by them jointly, may accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under this Section or
otherwise, and, upon the request of the Trustee, the Company shall, for
such purpose, join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and
performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make
effective such resignation or removal. In the event that the Company shall
not have joined in such action within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have power to accept such
resignation or to remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee. A
successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigned or removed may be
appointed in the manner provided in this Section;
(4) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;
Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of the holders
of the bonds delivered to American National Bank and Trust Company of
Chicago, or its successor in the trust hereunder, shall be deemed to have
been delivered to all of the then trustees or co- trustees as effectually
as if delivered to each of them. Every instrument appointing any trustee or
trustees other than a successor to American National Bank and Trust Company
of Chicago shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions in this Article
expressed, and upon the acceptance in writing by such trustee or trustees
or co-trustee or co-trustees, he, they or it shall be vested with the
estates or property specified in such instrument, either jointly with
American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or its successor, or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the trusts,
conditions and provisions of this Indenture; and every such instrument
shall be filed with American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or
its successor in the trust hereunder. Any separate trustee or trustees, or
any co- trustee or co-trustees, may at any time by an instrument in writing
constitute American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or its
successor in the trust hereunder his, their or its agent or
attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent which may be
permitted by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion
authorized or permitted by him, them or it, for and in behalf of him, them
or it, and in his, their or its name. In case any separate trustee or
trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, or a successor to any of them, shall
die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates,
property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate
trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall be vested in and
be exercised by American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago or its
successor in the trust hereunder, without the appointment of a new trustee
as successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee.
SECTION 115. Any successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to his or its predecessor trustee, and also to the
Company, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such
successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of his or its predecessor in trust hereunder, with like effect
as if originally named as trustee herein; but the trustee ceasing to act shall
nevertheless, on the written request of the Company, or of the successor
trustee, or of the holders of 10 percentum in principal amount of the bonds then
outstanding hereunder, execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments of
conveyance and further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in such successor
trustee all the right, title and interest of the trustee to which he or it
succeeds, in and to the mortgaged and pledged property and such rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations, and the trustee ceasing to act shall also, upon
like request, pay over, assign and deliver to the successor trustee any money or
other property subject to the lien of this Indenture, including any pledged
securities, which may then be in his or its possession. Should any deed,
conveyance or instrument in writing from the Company be required by the new
trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such new
trustee such estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts and duties, any and all
such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall, on request, be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company.
SECTION 116. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or with
which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party or any corporation to which
substantially all the business and assets of the Trustee may be transferred,
provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 96
and qualified under Section 109 shall be the successor trustee under this
Indenture, without the execution or filing of any paper or the performance of
any further act on the part of any other parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. In case any of the bonds contemplated to be issued
hereunder shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to
the Trustee may, subject to the same terms and conditions as though such
successor had itself authenticated such bonds, adopt the certificate of
authentication of the original Trustee or of any successor to it as trustee
hereunder, and deliver the said bonds so authenticated; and in case any of said
bonds shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such bonds either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in
the name of the successor trustee, and in all such cases such certificates shall
have the full force which it is anywhere in said bonds or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that
the right to authenticate bonds in the name of the Trustee shall apply only to
its successor or successors by merger or consolidation or sale as aforesaid.
ARTICLE XIX.
DISCHARGE OF MORTGAGE.
SECTION 117. The Trustee (and any trustee or trustees or co-trustee or
co-trustees appointed pursuant to Article XVIII hereof) may, and upon request of
the Company shall, cancel and discharge the lien of these presents and of all
indentures supplemental hereto, and execute and deliver to the Company such
deeds and instruments as shall be requisite to satisfy the lien hereof and of
all indentures supplemental hereto, and reconvey and transfer to the Company the
mortgaged and pledged property, whenever all indebtedness secured hereby shall
have been paid, including all proper charges of the Trustee hereunder.
Bonds and interest obligations for the payment of which and bonds for the
redemption of which moneys shall have been set apart by or deposited with the
Trustee with irrevocable direction so to apply the same, subject to the
provisions of Section 130 hereof (with or without any additional right given to
the holders to surrender their bonds and obtain therefrom payment therefor prior
to the redemption date) shall for all purposes of this Article XIX be deemed to
have been paid; provided that in case of redemption the notice requisite to the
validity of such redemption shall have been given or arrangements shall have
been made insuring to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the same will be
given.
ARTICLE XX.
MEETINGS OF BONDHOLDERS.
SECTION 118. Modifications and alterations of this Indenture and/or of any
indenture supplemental hereto and/or of the rights and obligations of the
Company and/or of the holders of outstanding bonds and coupons issued hereunder
may be made as provided in the nine next succeeding Sections hereof numbered 119
to 127, both inclusive.
SECTION 119. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the bondholders
affected by the business to be submitted to the meeting and it shall call such a
meeting on the written request of the Company, given pursuant to a resolution of
its Board of Directors. The holders of fifteen per centum (15%) or more in
principal amount of the bonds affected by the business to be submitted to the
meeting outstanding hereunder at the time of such request may request the
Trustee to call such a meeting. In the event of the Trustee's failing for ten
(10) days to call a meeting after being thereunto requested by the Company or
the bondholders as above set forth, holders of outstanding bonds affected by the
business to be submitted to the meeting to the amount above specified in this
Section or the Company, pursuant to resolution of its Board of Directors, may
call such meeting. Every such meeting called by and at the instance of the
Trustee shall be held at the principal office of the Trustee, or, at the
election of the Trustee, at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, as shall be selected by the Trustee or, with the written approval of
the Company, at any other place in the United States of America, and written
notice thereof, stating the place and time thereof and in general terms the
business to be submitted, shall be mailed by the Trustee not less than thirty
(30) days before such meeting (a) to each registered holder of bonds affected by
the business to be submitted to the meeting then outstanding hereunder addressed
to him at his address appearing on the registry books, (b) to each holder of any
such bond payable to bearer who shall have filed with the Trustee an address for
notices to be addressed to him, (c) to all other bondholders whose names and
addresses are preserved at the time by the Trustee, as provided in subdivision
(a) of Section 51 hereof, and (d) to the Company addressed to it at
Indianapolis, Indiana (or at such other address as may be designated by the
Company from time to time) and shall be published by the Trustee at least once a
week for four (4) successive calendar weeks immediately preceding the meeting in
a daily newspaper printed in the English language and published and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; provided,
however, that the mailing of such notice to any bondholders affected by the
business submitted to the meeting shall in no case be a condition precedent to
the validity of any action taken at such meeting. If such meeting is called by
or at the instance either of the Company or the bondholders affected by the
business submitted to the meeting, it shall be held at such place in the United
States of America as may be specified in the notice calling such meeting and
notice thereof shall be sufficient for all purposes hereof if given by newspaper
publication as aforesaid stating the place and time of the meeting and in
general terms the business to be transacted. Any meeting of bondholders shall be
valid without notice if the holders of all bonds affected by the business
submitted to the meeting then outstanding hereunder are present in person or by
proxy and if the Company and the Trustee are present by duly authorized
representatives, or if notice is waived in writing before or after the meeting
by the Company, the holders of all bonds affected by the business submitted to
the meeting outstanding hereunder or by such as are not present in person or by
proxy and by the Trustee.
SECTION 120. Officers and nominees of the Trustee and of the Company may
attend and be heard at such meeting, but as such shall not be entitled to vote
thereat. Attendance by bondholders may be in person or by proxy. In order that
the holders of bonds payable to bearer and their proxies may attend and vote
without producing their bonds, the Trustee, with respect to any such meeting
called by the Trustee, may make and from time to time vary such regulations as
it shall think fit for deposit of bonds with any banks, bankers or trust
companies, and for the issue to the persons depositing the same of certificates
by such depositaries entitling the holders thereof to be present and vote at any
such meeting and to appoint proxies to represent them and vote for them at any
such meeting in the same way as if the persons so present and voting, either
personally or by proxy, were the actual bearers of the bonds in respect of which
such certificates shall have been issued, and any regulations so made shall be
binding and effective. If any such meeting shall have been called by bondholders
affected by the business submitted to the meeting or by the Company as aforesaid
upon failure of the Trustee to call the same after having been so requested to
do under the provisions of Section 119 hereof, regulations to like effect for
such deposit of bonds with an issue of certificates by any bank or trust company
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any state
thereof, having a capital of not less than One hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), shall be similarly binding and effective for all purposes hereof if
adopted or approved by the bondholders calling such meeting or by the Board of
Directors of the Company, if such meeting shall have been called by the Company,
provided that in either such case copies of such regulations shall be filed with
the Trustee.
SECTION 121. Subject to the restrictions specified in Section 120 hereof,
any registered holder of bonds affected by the business to be submitted at the
meeting outstanding hereunder and any holder of a certificate provided for in
Section 120 hereof, shall be entitled in person or by proxy to attend and vote
at such meeting as holder of the bonds registered or certified in the name of
such holder without producing such bonds. All others seeking to attend or vote
at such meeting in person or by proxy must, if required by any authorized
representative of the Trustee or the Company or by any other bondholder affected
by the business to be submitted at the meeting, produce the bonds claimed to be
owned or represented at such meeting, and every one seeking to attend or vote
shall, if required as aforesaid, produce such further proof of bond ownership or
personal identity as shall be satisfactory to the authorized representative of
the Trustee, or if none be present then to the Inspectors of Votes hereinafter
provided for. Proxies shall be acknowledged as required for an instrument to be
recorded in the State of Illinois, and all proxies and certificates presented at
any meeting shall be delivered to said Inspectors of Votes and filed with the
Trustee.
SECTION 122. Persons named by the Trustee if represented at the meeting
shall act as temporary Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the meeting, but
if the Trustee shall not be represented or shall fail to nominate such persons
or if any person so nominated shall not be present, the bondholders and proxies
present and entitled to vote shall by a majority vote, irrespective of the
amount of their holdings, elect other persons from those present to fill such
vacancy or vacancies. A permanent Chairman and a permanent Secretary of such
meeting shall be elected from those present by the bondholders and proxies
present and entitled to vote by a majority vote irrespective of the amount of
their holdings. The Trustee, if represented at the meeting, shall appoint two
Inspectors of Votes who shall count all votes cast at such meeting, except votes
on the election of a Chairman and Secretary, both temporary and permanent, as
aforesaid, and who shall make and file with the permanent Secretary of the
meeting their verified written report in duplicate of all such votes so cast at
said meeting. If the Trustee shall not be represented at the meeting or shall
fail to nominate such Inspectors of Votes or if either Inspector of Votes fails
to attend the meeting the vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the
permanent Chairman of the meeting.
SECTION 123. Subject to the provisions of this Section and of Section 127
hereof, the holders of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66
2/3%) in principal amount of the bonds outstanding hereunder (computed as
provided in Section 2 hereof) when such meeting is held must be present at such
meeting in person or by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business, less than a quorum, however, having power to adjourn;
provided, however, that in case more than one series of bonds shall be
outstanding under this Indenture, and any business to be submitted to such
meeting shall affect the rights of holders of the bonds of one or more series
and shall not affect the rights of holders of the bonds of one or more of the
other series, then only holders of the bonds of the series to be affected shall
have the right to notice of or to attend or vote at any such meeting or shall be
counted for the purpose of a quorum. The determination of the Trustee as to what
series of bonds the rights of the holders of which are affected shall be
conclusive. If such meeting is adjourned by less than a quorum for more than
fourteen (14) days, notice thereof shall forthwith be mailed by the Trustee if
such meeting shall have been called by the Trustee (a) to the Company addressed
to it at Indianapolis, Indiana (or at such other address as may be designated by
the Company in writing from time to time), (b) to each registered holder of
bonds entitled to notice then outstanding hereunder addressed to him at his
address appearing on the registry books, and (c) to each holder of any such bond
payable to bearer who shall have filed with the Trustee an address for notices,
and (d) to every other bondholder whose name and address is preserved at the
time by the Trustee, as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 51 hereof, in
each case addressed to him at such address, and shall be published at least once
in each fourteen (14) day period of such adjournment in a daily newspaper
printed in the English language and published and of general circulation in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Failure to mail such notice to any
such bondholder as aforesaid shall in no case affect the validity of any action
taken at any meeting held pursuant to such adjournment. If such meeting shall
have been called by bondholders or by the Company after the failure of the
Trustee to call the same after being requested so to do in accordance with the
provisions of Section 119 hereof, notice of such adjournment shall be given by
the permanent Chairman and permanent Secretary of the meeting in the newspapers
and for the number of times above specified in this Section and shall be
sufficient if so given.
SECTION 124. Subject to the provisions of Section 123 and Section 127
hereof, any modification or alteration of this Indenture and/or of any indenture
supplemental hereto and/or of the rights and obligations of the Company and/or
of the holders of bonds and coupons issued here under in any particular may be
made at a meeting of bondholders duly convened and held in accordance with the
provisions of this Article, but only by resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66%%) or
more in principal amount of the bonds entitled to vote at such meeting
outstanding hereunder (computed as provided in Section 2 hereof) when such
meeting is held, and approved by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company as hereinafter specified; provided, however, that no such modification
or alteration shall, without the consent of the holder of any bond issued
hereunder affected thereby, permit (1) the extension of the maturity of the
principal of such bond, or (2) the reduction in the rate of interest thereon or
any other modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest or
(3) the creation of any lien ranking prior to, or on a parity with the lien of
this Indenture with respect to any of the property mortgaged or pledged
hereunder or (4) the deprivation of any non-assenting bondholder of a lien upon
the mortgaged and pledged property for the security of his bonds (subject only
to the lien of taxes, assessments or governmental charges not then due and
delinquent and to any mortgage or other liens existing upon said property which
are prior hereto at the date of the calling of any such bondholders' meeting) or
(5) the reduction of the percentage required by the provisions of this Section
for the taking of any action under this Section with respect to any bond
outstanding hereunder. For all purposes of this Article, the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Sections 97 and 98, shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion
of counsel with respect to the extent, if any, as to which any action taken at
such meeting affects the rights under this Indenture or under any indenture
supplemental hereto of any holders of bonds then outstanding hereunder.
SECTION 125. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of
bondholders shall be prepared by the permanent Secretary of the meeting and
shall have attached thereto the original reports of the Inspectors of Votes, and
affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts showing a copy
of the notice of the meeting and a copy of the notice of adjournment thereof, if
required under the provisions of Section 123 hereof, and showing that said
notices were mailed and published as provided in Section 119 hereof and, in a
proper case, as provided in Section 123 hereof. Such record shall be signed and
verified by the affidavits of the permanent Chairman and the permanent Secretary
of the meeting, and one duplicate thereof shall be delivered to the Company and
the other to the Trustee for preservation by the Trustee. Any record so signed
and verified shall be proof of the matters therein stated until the contrary is
proved, and if such record shall also be signed and verified by the affidavit of
a duly authorized representative of the Trustee, such meeting shall be deemed
conclusively to have been duly convened and held and such record shall be
conclusive, and any resolution or proceeding stated in such record to have been
adopted or taken shall be deemed conclusively to have been duly adopted or taken
by such meeting. A true copy of any resolution adopted by such meeting shall be
mailed by the Trustee to each registered holder of bonds entitled to vote at
such meeting outstanding hereunder addressed to him at his address appearing on
the registry books and to each holder of any such bond payable to bearer who
shall have filed with the Trustee an address for notices, and to every other
bondholder whose name and address is preserved at the time by the Trustee, as
provided in subdivision (a) of Section 51 hereof, in each case addressed to him
at such address, and proof of such mailing by the affidavit of some person
having knowledge of the fact shall be filed with the Trustee, but failure to
mail copies of such resolution as aforesaid shall not affect the validity
thereof. No such resolution shall be binding until and unless such resolution is
approved by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which
resolution of approval, if any, shall be certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company and filed by the Company with the Trustee,
but if such resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company is adopted and a
certified copy thereof is filed with the Trustee, the resolution so adopted
shall be deemed conclusively to be binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the
holders of all bonds and coupons issued hereunder, at the expiration of sixty
(60) days after such filing, except in the event of a final decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction setting aside such resolution, or annulling the action
taken thereby in a legal action or equitable proceeding for such purposes
commenced within such sixty (60) day period, provided, however, that no such
resolution of the bondholders, or of the Company, shall in any manner be so
construed as to change or modify any of the rights, immunities or obligations of
the Trustee without its written assent thereto.
SECTION 126. Bonds authenticated and delivered after the date of any
bondholders' meeting may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to
the action taken at meetings of bondholders theretofore held, and upon demand of
the holder of any bond outstanding at the date of any such meeting and affected
thereby and upon presentation of his bond for the purpose at the principal
office of the Trustee, the Company shall cause suitable notation to be made on
such bond by endorsement or otherwise as to any action taken at any meeting of
bondholders theretofore held. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine
new bonds so modified as in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of
Directors of the Company to conform to such bondholders' resolution shall be
prepared, authenticated and delivered, and upon demand of the holder of any bond
then outstanding and affected thereby shall be exchanged without cost to such
bondholder for bonds then outstanding hereunder upon surrender of such bonds
with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto. The Company or the Trustee may
require bonds outstanding to be presented for notation or exchange as aforesaid
if either shall see fit to do so. Instruments supplemental to this Indenture
embodying any modification or alteration of this Indenture or of any indenture
supplemental hereto made at any bondholders' meeting and approved by resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Company, as aforesaid, may be executed by the
Trustee and the Company and upon demand of the Trustee or if so specified in any

ARTICLE XXI.
MISCELLANEOUS.
SECTION 128. Nothing in this Indenture, expressed or implied, is intended
or shall be construed, to confer upon, or to give to, any person firm or
corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the bonds and
coupons outstanding hereunder, any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of
this Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement
hereof, and all the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements
in this Indenture contained by and on behalf of the Company shall be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, and of the holders of the
bonds and of the coupons outstanding hereunder.
SECTION 129. Any money which has been deposited with the Trustee (other
than money which has been deposited with the Trustee for the purpose of
effecting payment or redemption of or payment of interest on any bonds issued
hereunder or which the Trustee has been directed to hold and apply for the
purpose of such payment or redemption) shall, at the request of the Company
evidenced by a resolution, be invested or reinvested by the Trustee in any bonds
or other obligations of the United States of America designated by the Company
maturing not more than two years from the date of their purchase by the Trustee,
and until a completed default specified in Section 72 hereof shall have occurred
and be continuing, any interest on such bonds and obligations which may be
received by the Trustee shall be forthwith paid to the Company. Such bonds and
obligations shall be held by the Trustee as a part of the mortgaged and pledged
property and subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash used to purchase
the same, but upon a like request of the Company, the Trustee shall sell all or
any designated part of the same and the proceeds of such sale shall be held by
the Trustee subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash used by it to
purchase the bonds and obligations so sold. If such sale (or any payment on the
maturity of any such obligations so held by the Trustee) shall produce a net sum
less than the cost of the bonds or other obligations so sold, the Company
covenants that it will pay promptly to the Trustee such amount of cash as with
the net proceeds from such sale or such payment will equal the cost of the bonds
or other obligations so sold or paid, and if such sale (or any payment on the
maturity of any such obligations so held by the Trustee) shall produce a net sum
greater than the cost of the bonds or obligations so sold or paid, the Trustee
shall promptly pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to such excess.
SECTION 130. In the event that any bond issued hereunder shall not be
presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity
or otherwise, or at the date fixed for the redemption thereof, or in the event
that any coupon shall not be presented for payment at the due date thereof, the
Company, having deposited with the Trustee, or with a paying agent of the
Company appointed herein or as permitted hereunder, for the purpose, or having
left with it if previously so deposited, moneys sufficient to pay the principal
of such bond (and premium, if any), together with all interest due thereon to
the date of the maturity of such bond or to the date fixed for the redemption
thereof, or to pay such coupon, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of
the holder thereof, the Trustee or paying agent with which such deposit was made
shall hold the money so deposited for the benefit of the holder of such bond or
overdue coupon, as the case may be. In case the holder of any such bond or
coupon shall not, within ten (10) years after such redemption or maturity date,
claim the amount deposited as above stated, for the payment thereof, the Trustee
and such paying agent shall, upon receipt by each of them of such indemnity, if
any, as they may severally require, on demand pay over to the Company such
amount so deposited, if the Company is not at the time in default hereunder; and
the Trustee and such paying agent shall thereupon be relieved from all
responsibility to the holder thereof, and in the event of such payment to the
Company the holder of any such bond or coupon shall be deemed to be an unsecured
creditor of the Company for an amount equivalent to the amount deposited as
above stated for the payment thereof and so paid over to the Company.
SECTION 131. Any power, privilege or right expressly or impliedly reserved
to or in any way conferred upon the Company by any provision of this Indenture,
whether such power, privilege or right is in any way restricted or is
unrestricted, may be in whole or in part waived or surrendered or subjected to
any restriction if at the time unrestricted or to additional restriction if
already restricted, and the Company may enter into any further covenants,
limitations or restrictions for the benefit of any one or more series of bonds
issued hereunder and provide that a breach thereof shall be equivalent to a
default under this Indenture or the Company may cure any ambiguity or correct or
supplement any defective or inconsistent provisions contained herein or in any
supplemental indenture, by an instrument in writing executed and acknowledged by
the Company in such manner as would be necessary to entitle a conveyance of real
estate to record in all of the states in which any property at the time subject
to the lien hereof shall be situated. The Trustee is hereby authorized to join
with the Company in the execution of any such instrument or instruments. Such
instrument, executed and acknowledged as aforesaid, shall be delivered to the
Trustee and thereupon if such instrument shall have been signed by the Trustee
any modification of the provisions of these presents therein set forth,
authorized by this Section, shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their
successors and assigns, and the holders of the bonds and coupons hereby secured.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section shall not be
construed to permit any act, waiver, surrender or restriction adversely
affecting any bonds then outstanding hereunder.
SECTION 132. Subject to the provisions of Article XVII hereof, whenever in
this Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to (except in
subdivision (1) of Section 5 hereof), this shall be deemed to include the
successors or assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in
this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of
the Trustee shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
assigns of such parties whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 133. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or
conflicts with another provision of this Indenture which has been included
pursuant to any requirements of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, such required provisions shall control.
SECTION 134. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, reference is made to such Act as approved August 3, 1939.
SECTION 135. The titles of the several Articles of this Indenture shall not
be deemed to be any part thereof.
SECTION 136. This Indenture shall be simultaneously executed in several
counterparts, and all such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an
original, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
