Any payment of principal of or premium (including the Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on any 2015 Bond that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any 2015 Bond is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise

Section 2.5 Optional Prepayments and Make-Whole Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the 2015 Bonds in an amount not less than 3% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Bonds then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each 2015 Holder written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 2.5 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Bonds to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each 2015 Bond held by such 2015 Holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 2.6 herein), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each 2015 Holder an Officer’s Certificate specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date. The Company shall contemporaneously deliver a copy of such notice and Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee.

Section 2.6 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each optional redemption or partial prepayment of the 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 hereof, respectively, the principal amount of the 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, to be redeemed or prepaid, as applicable, shall be allocated among all of the 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for redemption or prepayment, as applicable.

Section 2.7 Payment of Make-Whole Amount Upon Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the outstanding principal amount of the 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, shall have been declared or otherwise become due and payable immediately pursuant to and in accordance with the Indenture then, in addition to paying each 2015 Series A Holder or 2015 Series B Holder, as applicable, the entire unpaid principal amount of its 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, and all

accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the applicable Default Rate), the Company shall calculate and pay to each 2015 Series A Holder or 2015 Series B Holder, as applicable, (to the full extent permitted by applicable law) an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount.

From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any such cancelled 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable.

Any such offer shall provide each 2015 Series A Holder or 2015 Series B Holder, as applicable, with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 30 Business Days. If the Holders of more than 51% of the principal amount of the 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining 2015 Series A Holders or 2015 Series B Holders, as applicable, of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by 2015 Series A Holders or 2015 Series B Holders, as applicable, of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining 2015 Series A Holder or 2015 Series B Holder, as applicable, at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, pursuant to any provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture and no 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable.

Section 2.10 Make-Whole Amount.

“Make-Whole Amount.” The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount with respect to any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, the principal of such 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Indenture, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, the sum of 0.50% plus the yield to maturity implied by the yields reported as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury (“Reported”) securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day

preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.

If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date; provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the 2015 Series A Bonds or 2015 Series B Bonds, as applicable, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.5 or Section 2.7 above.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2015 Series A Bond or 2015 Series B Bond, as applicable, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.5 above or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Indenture, as the context requires.

Section 2.11 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the 2015 Bonds for the repayment of indebtedness and general corporate purposes.

THIS 2015 SERIES A BOND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM EXCEPT UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE NEITHER SUCH REGISTRATION NOR SUCH EXEMPTION IS REQUIRED BY LAW.

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, 2015 SERIES A DUE DECEMBER 1, 2044

 

NO. [    ]      ISSUANCE DATE: [                    ]
$[        ]      PPN: 679574 B#9

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, OLD DOMINION ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE (herein called the “Company”), a Virginia utility aggregation cooperative, hereby promises to pay to [        ], or registered assigns, the principal sum of [        ] Dollars (or so much thereof as shall not have been prepaid) on December 1, 2044, with interest computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months (a) on the unpaid balance hereof at a rate of 4.46% per annum (plus, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Interest Rate Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined), an additional 2% per annum) from the earlier of the date hereof or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable semi-annually on the first day of June and December, commencing on June 1, 2015, until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and (b) to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue payment (including any overdue prepayment) of principal, any overdue payment of interest, any overdue payment of any Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture referred to below), payable semiannually as aforesaid (or, at the option of the registered Holder hereof, on demand), at the Default Rate (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture referred to below). Immediately upon the cessation or waiver of an Interest Rate Adjustment Event this Bond shall cease to bear the additional 2% per annum interest rate referenced in clause (a) above.

“Interest Rate Adjustment Event” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) the Company defaults in the performance of Section 7.1(a) or (b) or Section 7.2 of the Bond Purchase Agreement (as defined below); or

(b) any representation or warranty made in writing by or on behalf of the Company or by any officer of the Company in the Bond Purchase Agreement (as defined below) or in any writing furnished in


connection with the transactions contemplated by the Third Supplemental Indenture (referred to below) proves to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which made and, with respect to representations and warranties made after the date hereof, for which accurate information has not since been provided in writing to the Holder of this Bond;

provided, that, in either case, an Interest Rate Adjustment Event shall not be deemed to have occurred or be continuing with respect to any portion of the 2015 Series A Bonds for which the Default Rate is then applicable.

Subject to Section 11 of the Bond Purchase Agreement (defined below), payments of principal of, interest on, and any Make-Whole Amount with respect to this Bond are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

This Bond is one of the 2015 Series A Bonds (herein called the “Bonds”) issued pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2014 (as from time to time amended, the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee named therein which amends and supplements the Second Amended and Restated Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of January 1, 2011 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) and is entitled to the benefits thereof and the Bond Purchase Agreement dated as of November 24, 2014 between the Company and the purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”). Each Holder of this Bond will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, to have (i) agreed to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 18 of the Bond Purchase Agreement and (ii) made the representations set forth in Section 6 of the Bond Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Bond shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Third Supplemental Indenture.

This Bond shall be registered in the name of the Holder hereof. This Bond is transferable, as provided in the Indenture, only upon the registration books of the Company maintained by the Obligation Registrar, which shall be the Trustee, kept at its principal office, upon presentation at said office of this Bond with the written request of the registered owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Obligation Registrar duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney.

The Bonds shall be issued as fully registered Bonds without coupons and in minimum denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Trustee may impose a charge sufficient to reimburse the Company or the Trustee for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or any transfer of a Bond. The cost, if any, of preparing each new Bond issued upon such exchange or transfer, and any other expenses of the Company or the Trustee incurred in connection therewith, shall be paid by in accordance with Section 3.06 of the Indenture.


This Bond is subject to optional redemption, in whole or in part, at the times and on the terms specified in the Third Supplemental Indenture, but not otherwise. This Bond is also subject to optional prepayment, in whole or from time to time in part, at the times and on the terms specified in the Third Supplemental Indenture, but not otherwise.

If an Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the principal of this Bond may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the manner, at the price (including any applicable Make-Whole Amount) and with the effect provided in the Indenture. In the event that the principal of this Bond shall have been declared or otherwise become due and payable as described in the preceding sentence, then, in addition to paying the Holder hereof the entire unpaid principal amount of this Bond and all accrued and unpaid interest hereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued hereon at the Default Rate), the Company shall pay to the Holder hereof (to the full extent permitted by applicable law) an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount.

The Holder of this Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture, or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect to any default under the Indenture, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture and the Bond Purchase Agreement.

All acts and proceedings required by law and by the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company necessary to make the 2015 Series A Bonds issued under the Indenture, when executed by the Company, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and duly issued, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done and taken.

It is the intention of the Holder to comply with the usury laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and of the United States of America. This Bond is hereby expressly limited such that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration, prepayment, or otherwise, shall the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the principal indebtedness or interest hereof, which remains unpaid from time to time, exceed the highest maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If fulfillment of any provisions hereof, at the time of performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the valid limits prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. If any Holder receives as interest an amount which will exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, such amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder or on account of any other principal indebtedness owed to Holder and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, determination of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law shall at all times be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the full term of this Bond, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Company in connection with this Bond, so


that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term of this Bond. The terms of this paragraph shall control and supersede any other provisions of this Bond.

This Bond shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

No covenant or agreement contained in this Bond, the Indenture or the Third Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be a covenant or agreement of any official, officer, agent or employee of the Company in his individual capacity, and no officer of the Company executing this Bond shall be liable personally on this Bond or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance of this Bond.

This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid until this Bond shall have been authenticated by the execution by the Trustee, or its successor as Trustee, of the Certificate of Authentication inscribed hereon.
