may in the cases, to the extent and as provided in the Indenture, waive certain
defaults thereunder and the consequences of such defaults.
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, against any incorporator, shareholder, director or

calendar year subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to bondable
public utility property, shall mean the greater of (i) an amount equal
to 2% of depreciable bondable public utility property, as shown by the
books of the Company as of January 1 of such year, with respect to
which the Company was as of that date required, in accordance with
sound accounting practice, to make appropriations to a reserve or
reserves for depreciation or obsolescence, or (ii) the amount actually
appropriated by the Company on its books of account to a reserve or
reserves for depreciation or obsolescence in respect of depreciable
bondable public utility property for such calendar year, in either case
less an amount equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of any property
additions which during such calendar year were included in an officers'
certificate filed with the Trustee as the basis for a sinking fund
credit pursuant to the provisions of a sinking fund for Bonds of any
series, and (b) 166-2/3% of the principal amount of Bonds of any series
which shall have been delivered to the Trustee as a credit, or which
the Company shall have elected to apply as a credit, against any
sinking fund payment due during such calendar year for Bonds of any
series, or which shall have been redeemed in anticipation of, or out of
moneys paid to the Trustee on account of, any sinking fund payment due

the Trustee as, or applied as, a credit against any sinking fund
payment and Bonds redeemed in anticipation of any sinking fund payment,
regardless of the time when they were actually delivered, applied or
redeemed, for purposes of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to
have been delivered, applied or redeemed, as the case may be, on the
sinking fund payment date when such sinking fund payment was due. Bonds
redeemed out of moneys paid to the Trustee on account of any sinking
fund payment shall, regardless of the date when they were redeemed, for
purposes of the second preceding sentence, be deemed to have been
redeemed on the later of (i) the date on which such moneys were paid to
the Trustee or (ii) the sinking fund payment date when such sinking
fund payment was due.
"The minimum provision for depreciation for any calendar year
subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to bondable public utility
property not subject to a prior lien, shall be determined as set forth

year or which is of less than twelve whole calendar months' duration
shall be determined by multiplying the number of whole calendar months
in such period by one-twelfth of the corresponding minimum provision
for depreciation for the most recent calendar year completed prior to
the end of such period, and fractions of a calendar month shall be
disregarded.

depreciation as applied to bondable public utility property and the
aggregate amount of the minimum provision for depreciation as applied
to bondable public utility property not subject to a prior lien from
March 31, 1945 to any date shall be the sum of the corresponding
minimum provision for depreciation for each completed calendar year
between December 31, 1966 and such date, plus the corresponding minimum
provision for depreciation for the period, if any, from the end of the
most recent such completed calendar year to such date, in each case
determined as set forth above, plus $35,023,487.50.

provided in Section 9.04 with respect to Bonds on which a notation of
partial payment shall be made) all Bonds redeemed in anticipation of or
out of moneys paid to the Trustee as a part of any sinking fund payment
due subsequent to December 31, 1966 for Bonds of any series, shall be
canceled and no such Bonds, nor any property additions which,
subsequent to December 31, 1966, shall have been included in an
officers' certificate filed with the Trustee as the basis for a sinking
fund credit pursuant to the provisions of a sinking fund for Bonds of
any series, shall be made the basis of the authentication and delivery
of Bonds or of any other further action or credit hereunder."
II. Each holder of any Bond of the _______ Series, by acceptance of
such Bond shall thereby consent that, at any time after the requisite consents,
if any, of the holders of Bonds of other series shall have been given as
hereinafter provided:
(1) Subsection A of Section 1.10 of the Original Indenture, as
the same may be amended as hereinabove in this Section 1.08 provided,
be further amended by replacing the word "and" between the words "Utah"
and "Nevada" with a comma and by adding after the word "Nevada" the
words "and Alaska";
(2) Subsection G of Section 1.10 of the Original Indenture, as
the same may be amended as hereinabove in this Section 1.08 provided,
be further amended by amending the second paragraph thereof to read as
follows:
"The term 'minimum provision for depreciation' for any
calendar year subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to bondable

books of the Company as of January 1 of such year, with respect to
which the Company was as of that date required, in accordance with

any property additions which during such calendar year were included in
an officers' certificate filed with the Trustee as the basis for a
sinking fund credit pursuant to the provisions of a sinking fund for
Bonds of any series and which as a result of having been so included
have been deemed, either without time limit or only so long as any
Bonds of such series are outstanding, to have been 'included in an
officers' certificate filed with the Trustee as the basis for a sinking
fund credit' and to have been 'made the basis for action or credit
hereunder' as such term is defined in Subsection H of Section 1.10 of
the Original Indenture, and (b) 166-2/3% of the principal amount of

shall have been disqualified, either without time limit or only so long
as any Bonds of such series are outstanding, from being made the basis
of the authentication and delivery of Bonds or of any other further
action or credit under the Original Indenture or any supplemental
indenture. Bonds delivered to the Trustee as, or applied as, a credit
against any sinking fund payment and Bonds redeemed in anticipation of
any sinking fund payment, regardless of the time when they were
actually delivered, applied or redeemed, for purposes of the preceding
sentence shall be deemed to have been delivered, applied or redeemed,

fund payment was due. Bonds redeemed out of moneys paid to the Trustee
on account of any sinking fund payment shall, regardless of the date
when they were redeemed, for purposes of the second preceding sentence,
be deemed to have been redeemed on the later of (i) the date on which
such moneys were paid to the Trustee or (ii) the sinking fund payment
date when such sinking fund payment was due."
(3) Subsection G of Section 1.10 of the Original Indenture, as
the same may be amended as hereinabove in this Section 1.07 provided,
be further amended by deleting therefrom the last two paragraphs
thereof and inserting therein a new last paragraph to read as follows:
"The aggregate amount of the minimum provision for
depreciation as applied to bondable public utility property and the
aggregate amount of the minimum provision for depreciation as applied

minimum provision for depreciation for each completed calendar year
between December 31, 1966 and such date, plus (1) the corresponding
minimum provision for depreciation for the period, if any, from the end
of the most recent such completed calendar year to such date, in each

an amount equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of any property
additions which, between December 31, 1966
-25-
26
and such date, became property additions of the character described in
clause (a) of the second paragraph of this Subsection G and which,

'available additions' as a result of the fact that all Bonds of such
series ceased to be outstanding, and (b) 166-2/3% of the principal
amount of Bonds of any series which, between December 31, 1966 and such
date, become Bonds of the character described in clause (b) of the
second paragraph of this Subsection G and which, thereafter, also
between December 31, 1966 and such date, became available Bond
retirements' as a result of the fact that all Bonds of such series
ceased to be outstanding."

such Bond shall thereby consent that, at any time after the requisite consents,
if any, of the holders of Bonds of other series shall have been given as
