Level 2 — Consists of inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
|
•
|
Level 3 — Consists of unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost-benefit constraints.

PART I.
CREATION OF THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-NINTH
SERIES OF BONDS,
GENERAL AND REFUNDING MORTGAGE BONDS,
2013 SERIES A
|
TERMS OF BONDS OF
2013 SERIES A.
|
SECTION 1. The Company hereby creates the three hundred sixty-ninth series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Original Indenture as amended to date and as further amended by this Supplemental Indenture, to be designated, and to be distinguished from the bonds of all other series, by the title “General and Refunding Mortgage Bonds, 2013 Series A” (elsewhere herein referred to as the “bonds of 2013 Series A”). The aggregate principal amount of bonds of 2013 Series A shall be limited to Three hundred and seventy-five million dollars ($375,000,000), except as provided in Sections 7 and 13 of Article II of the Original Indenture with respect to exchanges and replacements of bonds, and except further that the Company may, without the consent of any holder of the bonds of 2013 Series A, “reopen” the bonds of 2013 Series A, so long as any additional bonds of 2013 Series A have the same tenor and terms as the bonds of 2013 Series A established hereby.
|
|
|
|
The bonds of 2013 Series A shall be issued as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of a multiple of $1,000. The bonds of 2013 Series A shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $375,000,000, shall mature on April 1, 2043 (subject to earlier redemption or release) and shall bear interest, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (commencing October 1, 2013), at the rate of four percent (4.00%) per annum until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable and thereafter until the Company's obligation with respect to the payment of said principal shall have been discharged as provided in the Indenture. The bonds of 2013 Series A will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Supplemental Indenture, the bonds of 2013 Series A shall be payable, as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.
|
|
|
|
Except as provided herein, each bond of 2013 Series A shall be dated the date of its authentication and interest shall be payable on the principal represented thereby from the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the date to which interest has been paid on bonds of 2013 Series A, unless the bond is authenticated on a date prior to October 1, 2013, in which case interest shall be payable from March 27, 2013.
|
|
The bonds of 2013 Series A in definitive form shall be, at the election of the Company, fully engraved or shall be lithographed or printed in authorized denominations as aforesaid and numbered R-1 and upwards (with such further designation as may be appropriate and desirable to indicate by such designation the form, series and denomination of bonds of 2013 Series A). Until bonds of 2013 Series A in definitive form are ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon its request in writing the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in lieu thereof, bonds of 2013 Series A in temporary form, as provided in Section 10 of Article II of the Indenture. Temporary bonds of 2013 Series A if any, may be printed and may be issued in authorized denominations in substantially the form of definitive bonds of 2013 Series A, but without a recital of redemption prices and with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary bonds, all as may be determined by the Company.
|
|
|
|
Interest on any bond of 2013 Series A that is payable on any interest payment date and is punctually paid or duly provided for shall be paid to the person in whose name that bond, or any previous bond to the extent evidencing the same debt as that evidenced by that bond, is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, which regular record date shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not such day is a business day) immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. If the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on any interest payment date on the principal represented by any bond of 2013 Series A, such defaulted interest shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder of that bond on the relevant regular record date by virtue of his having been such holder, and such defaulted interest may be paid to the registered holder of that bond (or any bond or bonds of 2013 Series A issued upon transfer or exchange thereof) on the date of payment of such defaulted interest or, at the election of the Company, to the person in whose name that bond (or any bond or bonds of 2013 Series A issued upon transfer or exchange thereof) is registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of bonds of 2013 Series A not less than ten (10) days preceding such subsequent record date, which subsequent record date shall be at least five (5) days prior to the payment date of such defaulted interest. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
|
|
|
|
Bonds of 2013 Series A, in definitive and temporary form, may bear such legends as may be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations made pursuant thereto.
|
|
|
|
If any interest payment date, date of redemption or the stated maturity for the bonds of 2013 Series A would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, payment of principal and/or interest or premium, if any, with respect to the bonds of 2013 Series A will be paid on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on such date and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after such date.
|
|
|
|
“Business day” means any day other than a day on which banking institutions in The State of New York or the State of Michigan are authorized or obligated pursuant to law or executive order to close.
|
|
|
REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2013 SERIES A.

SECTION 2. Bonds of 2013 Series A will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the redemption prices set forth below.

|
|
|
At any time prior to October 1, 2042, the optional redemption price will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of 2013 Series A to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest of the bonds of 2013 Series A to be redeemed (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) until stated maturity, in each case discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to such redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined below), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
|
|
|
|
At any time on or after October 1, 2042, the optional redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of 2013 Series A to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the bonds of 2013 Series A that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date.
|
|
|
|
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any optional redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), calculated on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
|
|
|
|
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the bonds of 2013 Series A that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the bonds of 2013 Series A.
|
|
|
|
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any optional redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.
|
|
|
|
“Reference Treasury Dealer”
means (i) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and RBS Securities Inc. and (or their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), we will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the mortgage trustee after consultation with us.
|
|
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any optional redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
|
|
|
|
The bonds of 2013 Series A shall be redeemable as aforesaid upon giving notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, by or on behalf of the Company at least thirty (30) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered holders of bonds of 2013 Series A so called for redemption at their last respective addresses appearing on the register thereof, but failure to mail such notice to the registered holders of any bonds of 2013 Series A designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of any such redemption of any other bonds of such series. Interest shall cease to accrue on any bonds of 2013 Series A (or any portion thereof) so called for redemption from and after the date fixed for redemption if payment sufficient to redeem the bonds of 2013 Series A (or such portion) designated for redemption has been duly provided for. Bonds of 2013 Series A redeemed in part only shall be in amounts of $1,000 or any multiple thereof.
|
|
|
|
If the giving of the notice of redemption shall have been completed, or if provision satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of such notice shall have been made, and if the Company shall have deposited with the Trustee in trust funds (which shall have become available for payment to the holders of the bonds of 2013 Series A so to be redeemed) sufficient to redeem bonds of 2013 Series A in whole or in part, on the date fixed for redemption, then all obligations of the Company in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed and interest due or to become due thereon shall cease and be discharged and the holders of such bonds of 2013 Series A (or portions thereof) shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any and all claims of whatsoever nature on their part under the Indenture or in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) and interest.
|
|
|
|
The bonds of 2013 Series A shall not be entitled to or subject to any sinking fund and shall not be redeemable other than as provided in Section 2 hereof.

SECTION 3. At the option of the registered holder, any bonds of 2013 Series A, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, together with a written instrument of transfer (if so required by the Company or by the Trustee) in form approved by the Company duly executed by the holder or by its duly authorized attorney, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of 2013 Series A upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture. The Company waives its rights under Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture not to make exchanges or transfers of bonds of 2013 Series A during any period of ten (10) days next preceding any redemption date for such bonds.

This bond is one of an authorized issue of bonds of the Company, unlimited as to amount except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned or any indentures supplemental thereto, and is one of a series of General and Refunding Mortgage Bonds known as 2013 Series A, limited to an aggregate principal amount of $375,000,000, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned. This bond and all other bonds of said series are issued and to be issued under, and are all equally and ratably secured (except insofar as any sinking, amortization, improvement or analogous fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series and except as provided in Section 3 of Article VI of said Indenture) by an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1924, duly executed by the Company to The
|
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 15, 2013) reference is hereby made for a description of the properties and franchises mortgaged and conveyed, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are issued and under which additional bonds may be issued, and the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Trustee in respect of such security (which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 15, 2013, are hereinafter collectively called the “Indenture”). As provided in the Indenture, said bonds may be for various principal sums and are issuable in series, which may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in said Indenture provided.

This bond is not subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof. Except as provided below, this bond is not redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund.

This bond will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the redemption prices set forth below. At any time prior to October 1, 2042, the optional redemption price will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this bond to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest of this bond to be redeemed (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the optional redemption date) until stated maturity, in each case discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to such redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined below), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. At any time on or after October 1, 2042, the optional redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of this bond to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on this bond that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date.
|
|
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any optional redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated on the third Business Day
|

|
|
|
|
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this bond that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this bond.

|
|
|
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any optional redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

|
“Reference Treasury Dealer”
means (i) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and RBS Securities Inc.

|
|
|
|
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any optional redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
|
|
|
|
Notice of any optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the optional redemption date to the holder hereof at its registered address. If notice has been provided in accordance with the Indenture and funds for the redemption of this bond called for redemption have been made available on the redemption date, this bond will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for redemption. Thereafter, the only right of the holder hereof will be to receive payment of the redemption price.
|
|
|
|
Under the Indenture, funds may be deposited with the Trustee (which shall have become available for payment), in advance of the redemption date of any of the bonds of 2013 Series A (or portions thereof), in trust for the redemption of such bonds (or portions thereof) and the interest due or to become due thereon, and thereupon all obligations of the Company in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed and such interest shall cease and be discharged, and the holders thereof shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any and all claims of whatsoever nature on their part under the Indenture or with respect to such bonds (or portions thereof) and interest.
|
|

The bonds of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. This Global Security is exchangeable for bonds in definitive form only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, bonds of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the registered holder surrendering the same.
|
|
|
|
This bond is transferable by the registered holder hereof, in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company kept at its office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new registered bond of the same series of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, and this bond with others in like form may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations, but of the same aggregate principal amount, all as provided and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and upon payment, in any event, of the charges prescribed in the Indenture.
|
|
|
|
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any past, present or future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise howsoever; all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released by every holder or owner hereof, as more fully provided in the Indenture.
|
|
|
|
This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.
