This note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company, designated as its “4.00% Solar Bonds, Series 2015/19-5” (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2014 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), as supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Ninety-Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 31, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, paying agent and security registrar (herein called the “ Paying Agent and Security Registrar”), and the Trustee, as trustee, and as the authenticating agent (herein called the “Authenticating Agent”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, the Company and the Holders of the Notes.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Section 501 of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, then the Trustee, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default specified in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Section 501 occurs, then the principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.  Upon any such waiver, said default shall for all purposes of this Note and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures to modify provisions of the Indenture, subject to exceptions permitting the modification of the Indenture without the consent of any Holder of Notes or requiring the consent of each Holder of a Note affected by such modification all as set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiples thereof.  The Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations, on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Indenture.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented hereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.
