RESTATED INDENTURE OF MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FINANCING STATEMENT, dated as of November 20, 2007, between CHEYENNE LIGHT, FUEL AND POWER COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Wyoming (hereinafter called the "Company") having its principal office at No. 108 West 18th Street, Cheyenne, Wyoming, party of the first part, and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America and authorized to accept and execute trusts (hereinafter called the "Trustee"), having its principal office at 1740 Broadway, Denver, Colorado, party of the second part.

RECITALS

In order to secure an authorized issue of First Mortgage Bonds of the Company, the Company has executed and delivered an Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust to The United States National Bank of Denver as Trustee, dated March 1, 1948, hereinafter referred to as the "Original Indenture."

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, is the successor Trustee as the result of consolidation of The United States National Bank of Denver followed by a series of subsequent name changes and mergers leading to the Trustee as the current successor.

Subsequent to the execution of the Original Indenture, the Company has executed nine various supplemental indentures providing for the issuance of additional series of Bonds and supplementing and modifying the Original Indenture, which, as supplemented and amended by said nine supplemental indentures, is referred to herein as the "Restated Indenture".

Pursuant to the provisions of the Original Indenture, First Mortgage Bonds have been duly issued and are presently outstanding and secured by the Original Indenture, and continue to be secured by this Restated Indenture as follows:



Series	Principal Amount Outstanding

Bonds of the 2024 Series, 7.50%, due January 1, 2024	7,200,000
1997A Revenue Bonds, Adjustable Rate, due March 1, 2027	10,000,000
1997B Refunding Bonds, Adjustable Rate, due September 1, 2021	7,000,000
Bonds of the Series 2007, 6.67%, due November 20, 2037	110,000,000

Because of the extensive amendments contained in the first eight supplemental indentures and the complexities in reading and interpreting the Original Indenture resulting therefrom, the Company issued the Ninth Supplemental Indenture which further amended the Original Indenture and which caused the Original Indenture to be amended and restated to constitute one instrument which completely states the agreement of the parties hereto as of the date hereof.

The Company, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon and reserved to it under and by virtue of the provisions of the Indenture (as hereinafter defined), and pursuant to

resolutions of its Board of Directors, has duly resolved and determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this Restated Indenture in the form hereof for the purpose of restating the Original Indenture without any interruption of the lien of the Original Indenture which now continues under the Restated Indenture.

WHEREAS, the Company has the corporate power and authority to borrow money from time to time for its corporate purposes and to issue therefor its bonds and other obligations, and to secure the prompt payment thereof by mortgage and/or pledge of its franchise rights, privileges and properties hereinafter described; and, for its corporate purposes, the Company has determined to make and issue its bonds to be known as its First Mortgage Bonds (herein called the "Bonds"), as hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, the Bonds are to be issued in fully registered form without coupons (hereinafter called "registered Bonds"), and may be in such denominations as shall be determined prior to the issuance thereof; and

WHEREAS, the Bonds are to be in one or more series, each series to be dated as of such date or dates, to bear such rate of interest, to mature at such time or times, to bear such designation, and to contain such other specifications and provisions as are hereinafter in this Restated Indenture provided or permitted; and

WHEREAS, the Company under and pursuant to the power and authority aforesaid has determined to secure the prompt payment of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all the Bonds by executing and delivering to the Trustee an Indenture of Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Financing Statement in the terms of this Restated Indenture, mortgaging and pledging the hereinafter described property; and

WHEREAS, the execution of this Restated Indenture has been duly authorized and all other things necessary to constitute this Restated Indenture a valid mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement and financing statement to secure the payment of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Bonds to be issued hereunder have been done and performed, and the creation, execution and delivery of this Restated Indenture, and the creation, execution and issue of the Bonds to be initially issued hereunder, have in all respects been duly authorized; and

WHEREAS, the registered Bonds and the Trustee's certificate to be endorsed thereon, of whatever series, are to be substantially in the following form, subject always to Section 3.06:

[General Form of Bond]

No.			$

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CHEYENNE LIGHT, FUEL AND POWER COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Wyoming (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term shall include any successor corporation as defined in the Restated Indenture hereinafter referred to), hereby promises to pay to _____________________________ or registered assigns, on the ____ day of ________________, __________, the sum of _________________________________ Dollars ($______) in coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay to the registered holder hereof interest thereon from the date hereof, at the rate of ________ per cent (___%) per annum, in like coin or currency, payable __________ on the _________ day of ___________ and the ________ day of _____________in each year until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and thereafter if default be made in the payment of such principal, at the rate of _____ percent (__%) per annum until the principal hereof shall be paid. Payments of both principal and interest are to be made at the office or agency specified in the supplement to the Restated Indenture creating this Bond.

This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds of the Company known as its First Mortgage Bonds, all issued and to be issued in one or more series under and equally and ratably secured (except as any sinking, amortization, improvement, renewal or other analogous fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Indenture hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the Bonds of any particular series) by a Restated Indenture of Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Financing Statement (hereinafter called the “Restated Indenture”) executed by the Company to WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (herein called the “Trustee”), as Trustee, dated November 20, 2007, to which Restated Indenture and to all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are and are to be secured and the rights of the holders or registered owners thereof and of the Trustee in respect of such security. As provided in the Restated Indenture, said Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may bear different dates and mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the Restated Indenture provided or permitted. This ______________ Bond is one of the Bonds described in the Restated Indenture and designated therein as “First Mortgage Bonds, _________________________” (the “_______________ Bonds”).

To the extent permitted by and as provided in the Restated Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of said Bonds may be changed and modified with the consent of the Company and upon the written consent of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Bonds then outstanding and entitled to consent, and, in case one or more but less than all of the series of Bonds issued under the Restated Indenture are so affected, of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and entitled to consent of each series affected thereby (unless a different percentage is set forth in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which such affected Bonds were created), provided that no such change shall be made which would (i) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest payable on, the Bonds, or (ii) postpone the maturity date fixed in the Restated Indenture or in the Bonds for the payment of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, the Bonds, or (iii) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of Bonds the consent of the holders of which is required for the authorization of any such change or addition, or (iv) modify, without the written consent of the Trustee, the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee, and further provided that,

without the consent of the holder hereof, no such change shall be made which would (i) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Restated Indenture on any of the mortgaged property, or (ii) deprive the holder hereof of the lien of the Restated Indenture upon the mortgaged property.

(Here insert reference to redemption if Bonds of a particular series are redeemable and to sinking or other fund if such Bonds are entitled thereto.)

In case an event of default as defined in the Restated Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Bonds outstanding may be declared and may become due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Restated Indenture.

This Bond is a registered Bond and is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by the duly authorized attorney of such holder on the registration books to be kept for the purpose at the principal office of the Trustee, Registrar for the Bonds, in the City and County of Denver, Colorado, upon surrender of this Bond accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Company, duly executed by the registered holder in person or by such attorney, and upon cancellation hereof one or more new registered Bonds, of authorized denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor, as provided in the Restated Indenture.

The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered on such books as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Bond shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, and on account hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(Here insert provisions for exchangeability, if any.)

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond, or in respect of this Bond or the Restated Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, any and all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the holder hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Restated Indenture.

This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall be signed by the Trustee under the Restated Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CHEYENNE LIGHT, FUEL AND POWER COMPANY has caused these presents to be signed in its name by its President or a Vice President and its corporate seal to be affixed hereto and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

the application or to accept such evidence of compliance. The reasonable expenses of such examination or other inquiry shall be paid by the Company, or if paid by the Trustee shall be repaid by the Company, upon demand.

Company at the time of such signing or sealing, although such person may not have been such officer at the date of such Bond.

The Trustee is hereby appointed “Bond Registrar” for the purpose of registering Bonds and transfers of Bonds as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a place of payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Bonds of any series may be exchanged for other Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Bonds which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Bonds issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Restated Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Bond Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds.

As to any registered Bond, the registered holder shall for all the purposes of this Restated Indenture be regarded as the owner thereof and the payment of or on account of the principal of such Bond shall be made only to such registered holder or upon his or its order and all such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Bonds:

(1) Each Global Bond authenticated under this Restated Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Bond or a nominee thereof and

delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Bond shall constitute a single Bond for all purposes of this Restated Indenture.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Restated Indenture, no Global Bond may be exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds registered, and no transfer of a Global Bond in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary for such Global Bond or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Bond or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Bond or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.06.

(3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Bond for other Bonds may be made in whole or in part, and all Bonds issued in exchange for a Global Bond or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Bond shall direct.

(4) Every Bond authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Bond or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Bond, unless such Bond is registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary for such Global Bond or a nominee thereof.

SECTION 3.08. Temporary Bonds. Pending the preparation of any definitive Bonds to be issued under and secured by this Restated Indenture, the Company may execute and deliver temporary printed Bonds, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds, in denominations of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and/or any multiple thereof. Temporary Bonds may be issued without the provision entitling the holder to register the Bonds or a recital of specific redemption prices, and may contain such reference to any provision of this Restated Indenture as may be appropriate; and the text of the temporary Bonds may express the interest rate of the Bonds and the series thereof by reference to the title of the Bonds. Any such temporary Bonds shall be authenticated by the Trustee in the same manner as the definitive Bonds and such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that the temporary Bonds so authenticated have been duly issued under this Restated Indenture and that the holders thereof are entitled to the benefits of the trust hereby created. Such temporary Bonds issued and authenticated as aforesaid shall be exchangeable without expense to the holder for definitive Bonds of the same series and maturity to be issued under and secured by this Restated Indenture, and upon any such exchange such temporary Bonds shall be forthwith cancelled by the Trustee and delivered to the Company. Any such temporary Bonds may also be exchanged for other temporary Bonds of the same series and maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, said temporary Bonds shall be in all respects entitled to the lien and security of this Restated Indenture as Bonds issued and authenticated hereunder. Upon demand, without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Bonds to be exchanged for such temporary Bonds upon surrender of such temporary Bonds at the office of the Trustee. The Bonds of each series shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or

produced by any combination of these methods, if required by any securities exchange or automated quotations system on which the Bonds of such series may be listed or traded, on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Bonds of such series may be listed or traded, as applicable, all as determined by the officers executing such Bonds, as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds.

SECTION 3.09. Lost or Stolen Bonds. In case any Bond issued hereunder shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue and deliver and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Bond of like tenor and date in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond so lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee of the ownership of such Bond and of the loss, theft or destruction of such Bond, and upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. Any Bonds issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute original, additional contractual obligations on the part of the Company and shall be secured equally and ratably with all other Bonds issued hereunder. Any such new Bond may bear such endorsement as may be prescribed by the Company, with the approval of the Trustee, and as may be required to comply with the rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which the Bonds are listed or are to be listed or to conform to any usage with respect thereto.

SECTION 3.10. Rights of Exchanged or Substituted Bonds. Each Bond delivered pursuant to any provision of this Restated Indenture in exchange or substitution for the whole or any part, as the case may be, of one or more other Bonds shall carry all of the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by the whole or such part, as the case may be, of such one or more other Bonds, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Indenture, such Bond shall bear such date so that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange or substitution.

SECTION 3.11. Legend for Global Bonds. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.06 for the Bonds evidenced thereby, every Global Bond authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, in which case neither the Company nor the Trustee, or any agent of any of them, shall have any liability in respect of any CUSIP number used on any such notice, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in “CUSIP” numbers.

In addition to the covenants on its part contained elsewhere in this Restated Indenture, the Company covenants as follows:

SECTION 8.01. Seizin; Authority to Mortgage; Maintenance of Lien of Indenture. The Company is lawfully seized and possessed of and has good title to all property described in the granting clauses hereof as being presently mortgaged and pledged hereunder, and has good right and lawful authority to mortgage and pledge the same as provided in and by this Restated Indenture; said property is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except those referred to in the granting clauses hereof; and the Company warrants and will defend the title to such property and every part thereof to the Trustee, its successors in the trust and assigns, forever, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

This Restated Indenture is and always will be kept a first lien upon the mortgaged property and upon every part thereof, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and to other encumbrances herein expressly permitted.

SECTION 8.02. Further Assurances. At any and all times the Company will do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and/or record, and will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, delivered, filed and/or recorded, all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, transfers and assurances in law as may be necessary or as the Trustee shall reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, pledging, transferring, mortgaging, assigning and confirming unto the Trustee all and singular the hereditaments and premises, estates and property hereby conveyed, pledged, transferred or assigned, or intended so to be.

SECTION 8.03. Punctual Payment; Deposited Cash to be held in Trust. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Bonds at any time issued and outstanding hereunder in full and in strict accord with the terms thereof and of this Restated Indenture; and on or prior to the date on which each installment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest shall become due it will set aside in trust or will deposit or cause to be deposited in trust with its paying agent or agents the amount in cash necessary to pay the principal (and premium, if any) and interest due on such date. Each such installment of money so deposited shall (subject to the provisions of Section 15.02) be held in trust for the account of the holder or holders of the obligations due on such date and shall be applied to the payment thereof. All Bonds so paid shall be forthwith cancelled.

Subject to the provisions of Section 15.02, money deposited with the Trustee or with any paying agent or held by the Company for the purpose of paying the principal of or interest (or premium, if any) on Bonds shall constitute a trust fund for such purpose and for no other purpose whatever. Every paying agent which may be appointed for the purpose of making payments of the principal of or the interest (or premium) on any Bond shall be required to notify the Trustee promptly of any default by the Company, or any other obligor upon the Bonds, in the payment of any such principal or interest (or premium).

SECTION 8.04. Payment of Taxes; No Prior or Equal Liens except as Stated. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments lawfully levied or assessed upon the Company or upon the mortgaged property or upon any part thereof or upon any income therefrom or upon the interest of the Trustee in the mortgaged property, when the same shall become due, and will duly observe and conform to all valid requirements of any governmental authority relative to any

of the mortgaged property, and all covenants, terms and conditions upon or under which any of the mortgaged property is held; it will not create or suffer to be hereafter created any lien upon the mortgaged property, or any part thereof, or income therefrom, prior to, or having equality with, the lien of these presents, except Permitted Encumbrances and except (i) any mortgage or other lien on any property hereafter acquired by the Company which may exist at the date of the acquisition of such property by the Company and (ii) purchase money mortgages created by the Company at the time of acquisition of such property; provided that except for purchase money mortgages securing, in the aggregate, not in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), in no event shall the amount secured by any mortgage or lien permitted by the foregoing Clauses (i) and (ii) be in excess of seventy percent (70%) of the cost or fair value at the time of acquisition, whichever is less, of the property subject thereto; and, provided further, that at the time of creation, issuance, assumption, guarantee or incurrence of any indebtedness secured by any mortgage or lien permitted by the foregoing Clauses (i) and (ii) and after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof, the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of all indebtedness secured by mortgages or liens permitted by the foregoing Clauses (i) and (ii) plus (b) the aggregate amount of all indebtedness of Subsidiaries, shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the net book value of all fixed assets of the Company determined as of the end of the fiscal year of the Company immediately preceding the date of creation, issuance, assumption, guarantee or incurrence of any such indebtedness.

Within three months after the accruing of any lawful claims or demands for labor, material, supplies or other objects or any lawful claims or demands of a government or governmental authority, which, if unpaid, might by law be given precedence over this Restated Indenture as a lien or charge upon the mortgaged property or the income thereof, it will pay or cause to be discharged or make adequate provision to satisfy or discharge the same; and it will not suffer to be done any matter or thing whereby the lien hereof might or could be impaired.

Nothing in this Section shall require the Company to observe or conform to any requirement of any governmental authority or to pay or cause to be paid or discharged, or make provision for, any such prior lien or charge so long as the validity thereof shall be contested by it in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings, unless thereby any of the mortgaged property may be lost or forfeited.

The Company will not claim or demand or be entitled to receive any credit on the interest payable on the Bonds or on any other payments secured hereby for any portion of the taxes assessed against the mortgaged property. No deduction shall be made by reason of this Restated Indenture from the taxable value of the mortgaged property or any part thereof if the holders of the Bonds or the Trustee would thereby be prejudiced in any way. The provisions of any present or future law, statute or constitutional provision permitting or entitling the Company to receive any such credit or to make any such deduction are hereby expressly waived.

SECTION 8.05. Recording; Corporate Existence; Opinion of Counsel. The Company will cause this Restated Indenture and every instrument amendatory hereof or supplementary hereto which shall be executed pursuant to the provisions hereof, forthwith upon execution, to be recorded as a real estate mortgage and filed as a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code as required by law under the applicable state jurisdictions and will, to the extent permitted by law, pay

any mortgage recording or filing or other tax legally due upon such recording and filing or the issuing of Bonds hereunder, and will punctually and fully comply with the requirements of any and every mortgage recording tax law or other law, or direction of the Trustee, affecting the due recording and re‑recording and filing and re-filing of this Restated Indenture or of such additional instruments in such manner as may be necessary fully to preserve, continue and protect the security and validity of the Bonds, the superior lien of this Restated Indenture on the trust estate and the rights and remedies of the Trustee.

The Company will in due time take all steps which may be necessary to maintain its corporate existence.

Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Restated Indenture and every instrument amendatory hereof or supplementary hereto which shall be executed pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company will furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, either stating that in the opinion of such counsel this Restated Indenture and all such instruments have been properly recorded and filed so as to make effective the lien intended to be created hereby and that all other action required by the first paragraph of this Section 8.05 theretofore to have been taken has been taken, and reciting the details of such action, or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such recording, filing or other action is necessary to make such lien effective.

The Company agrees upon each and every purchase or acquisition by the Company hereafter of property which under the terms hereof is upon acquisition to be subject to this Restated Indenture, to record and/or re‑record and/or file or re-file this Restated Indenture, and/or a duplicate hereof and/or a further separate and supplemental mortgage, and/or assignment, if and to the extent that such action may be required by law in order effectively to subject such property to the lien hereof and to preserve the priority of such lien, or as may be directed by the Trustee, in the proper office or offices of the county or counties or other recording districts in which such property is situated, or in any other office, and to do every other act and thing necessary to effectuate the lien hereof in respect thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing covenants of this Section, the Company will furnish to the Trustee upon request and in any event on or before May 1st in each year, the following:

A. A Certificate of the Company, briefly describing (or referring to descriptions thereof in other Certificates of the Company then or theretofore delivered to the Trustee) each item of property which was acquired in the preceding calendar year at a cost of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more and which under the terms hereof is subject to the lien of this Restated Indenture or required so to be. If any item of property described in such Certificate is an additional tract or parcel of real estate, a separate description of such tract or parcel shall be included in the Certificate.

B. An Opinion of Counsel,

(1) Specifying the mortgages, deeds, conveyances, assignments, transfers and instruments of further assurance, if any, which will be sufficient to subject such property to the direct lien of this Restated Indenture or stating that no such instruments are necessary for such purpose, and stating that, upon the recordation or filing, in the manner stated in such opinion, of the instrument so specified, if any, or upon the recordation or filing of this Restated Indenture or and supplemental indenture in the manner stated in such opinion, or without any recordation or filing, this Restated Indenture will constitute a valid lien upon such property.

(2) Stating what action, if any, of the Company or the Trustee is necessary or advisable under the statutes of the State of Wyoming or other applicable law to maintain the lien of this Restated Indenture as against creditors and subsequent purchasers and stating whether, under the then applicable law, any such action will be necessary or advisable within the next ensuing period of twelve months. If any instruments are necessary or advisable for such purpose, such opinion shall specify the same.

(3) Either stating that in the opinion of such counsel such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing of this Restated Indenture and all indentures supplemental hereto, as is necessary to maintain the lien of the Restated Indenture, and citing the details of such action, or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien.

C. The Mortgages, Deeds, Conveyances, Assignments, Transfers and instruments of further assurance and other instruments, if any, as specified in the opinion required by the foregoing Paragraph B.

To the extent permitted by law the Company will bear all expenses in connection with the preparation, recording, filing, re-recording or re-filing of all such instruments specified in said Opinion of Counsel.

SECTION 8.06 Maintenance and Preservation of Mortgaged Premises; Prompt Classification of Retirements; Examination by Independent Engineer. The Company will at all times maintain, preserve and keep the mortgaged premises, and every part thereof, with the appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof, in good repair, working order and condition, and will from time to time make all needful and proper repairs and renewals, replacements and substitutions, so that at all times the efficiency of the property hereby mortgaged shall be fully preserved and maintained, and, subject to the provisions hereof, will maintain its corporate existence and will use its best efforts to maintain, preserve and renew all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises by it owned, and otherwise to maintain its rights in respect of its Gas Business and its Electric Business.

Nothing in this Section contained shall be held to prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation of any of its plants, works or properties, if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it is no longer advisable, in connection with the operation of the other properties of the Company, to operate the same; nor shall anything in this Section contained be considered to prevent the Company from taking such action with respect to its plants, works and properties as is proper under the circumstances, including the cessation or omission to exercise rights, permits, licenses, privileges or franchises which, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, can no longer be profitably exercised or availed of, in connection with the operation of the other properties of the Company.

The Company will promptly classify as Retirements for the purpose of the computation of Net Property Additions hereunder all Funded Property, except land owned in fee simple, that has permanently ceased to be used or useful in the Gas Business and the Electric Business of the Company.

Whenever the holders of not less than a majority in amount of the Bonds shall so request the Trustee in writing, the Trustee shall select in the exercise of reasonable care an Independent Engineer of national reputation and the Company at its own expense shall promptly appoint such Independent Engineer to make an inspection of the mortgaged property and within a reasonable time after his appointment to report to the Company and to the Trustee whether or not the mortgaged property, as an operating system, has been maintained in good repair, working order and condition in accordance with the covenants hereinabove in this Section set forth, and whether or not the Company shall have complied with the covenants in the next preceding paragraph regarding the classification of Funded Property as Retirements; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to make more than one such appointment within any period of forty-eight (48) months.

If such Independent Engineer shall report that the mortgaged property as an operating system has not been so maintained he shall specify in his report the character and extent of, and the estimated cost of making good, the deficiency in such maintenance, and, if longer than one year, the time reasonably necessary to make good such deficiency. Said report shall be placed on file by the Trustee and shall be open to inspection by any bondholder at any reasonable time.

The report of such Independent Engineer shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Company and the bondholders unless, within thirty (30) days after filing of the report, the Company (by notice in writing to the Trustee) states that such report is not approved, specifying with reasonable particularity the matters therein which are not approved. All matters so specified in such notice shall forthwith be referred to three arbitrators selected in the following manner:

The Trustee, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice, shall name one arbitrator and give notice of such selection to the Company. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of selection, the Company shall name one arbitrator and give notice of such selection to the Trustee, and failure so to do shall entitle the Trustee to name an arbitrator to represent the Company. The two thus selected shall, within ten (10) days after the appointment of the arbitrator representing the Company, select a third arbitrator, but if said arbitrators are unable within said ten (10) days to agree upon such third arbitrator then, upon the application of either the Company or the Trustee, the person

who is the District Judge of the United States of America for the District of Wyoming, senior in service, shall have the power to appoint such third arbitrator upon application to said District Judge by either the Company or the Trustee on five (5) days notice thereof to the other. Each of such three arbitrators so selected shall be an Independent Engineer.

The written decision of a majority of such arbitrators shall be filed as soon as practicable with the Trustee and a copy thereof delivered to the Company, and shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Company and the bondholders.

If such written decision shall modify the report of the Independent Engineer which was the subject of arbitration, reference hereinafter in this Section 8.06 to such report of the Independent Engineer shall be deemed to mean the report of such Independent Engineer as modified by the decision of such arbitrators. Pending the final determination pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section as to whether or not the mortgaged property has been maintained as an operating system in good repair, working order and condition, the statements contained in the report of such Independent Engineer which is the subject of arbitration shall not be deemed evidence of failure to comply with the provisions of this Section.

In the computation hereunder of the Net Amount of Property Additions, after any such report of an Independent Engineer shall have been filed with the Trustee, the Company shall classify as Retirements, at the amount or amounts which such report specifies, the property which said report states should be classified as Retirements for the purpose of such computation and which has not been retired on the books of the Company.

The Company shall, with all reasonable speed, do such maintenance work as may be necessary to make good such maintenance deficiency, if any, as shall have been specified to exist in such report, and upon completion thereof such Independent Engineer (or, in the case of his refusal or inability to act, some other Independent Engineer of national reputation selected by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care) shall report in writing to the Trustee that the maintenance deficiency specified in said report has been made good.

Unless the Trustee shall be so informed in writing by such Independent Engineer within one year from the date of the report with respect to the maintenance deficiency (or such longer period as may be specified in such report to be reasonably necessary for the purpose), that such maintenance deficiency has been made good, the Company shall be deemed to have defaulted in the due performance of the covenants of this Section with respect to the maintenance of the mortgaged property; and in any proceedings consequent upon such default; said report of such Independent Engineer shall be conclusive evidence against the Company of the existence of the facts and conditions therein set forth, and the Trustee shall be fully protected in relying thereon.

All expenses incurred pursuant to this Section shall be borne by the Company.

In the event that any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company in the premises shall determine that the expenditures required by this Section for repairs and maintenance are excessive or shall, by order or regulation, prohibit, in whole or in part, any such expenditures

for repairs and maintenance, then, upon filing with the Trustee a certified copy of such order or a copy of such regulation, as the case may be, the Company shall, so long as such order or such regulation remains in effect, be relieved from compliance with the covenants contained in this Section, to the extent that such expenditures for repairs and maintenance shall have been held excessive or shall be prohibited.

SECTION 8.07. Insurance; Disposition of Insurance Proceeds. The Company will at all times keep all its property which is of an insurable nature and of the character usually insured by companies operating properties similar to the properties of the Company, insured against loss or damage by fire and from other causes customarily insured against by similar companies and in such relative amounts as are usually insured against by such companies. The Company will also maintain insurance with such insurance companies and associations against loss or damage from other hazards and risks to its properties, to the property of others and to the person, of the character usually maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar business similarly situated; provided, however, that the Company may effect Workmen's Compensation Insurance with respect to operations in any particular state or other jurisdiction through an insurance fund operated by such state or other jurisdiction, or by adequate reserves for self insurance, if permitted by the laws of such state or other jurisdiction.

All insurance policies covering risks to the mortgaged property shall provide that if any insurance moneys in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate are payable in respect of any one loss under all policies covering such loss, all insurance moneys payable in respect of such loss shall be payable to the Trustee as its interest may appear. If so requested in writing by the Trustee, the Company shall cause policies for insurance against risks to the mortgaged property to be delivered to the Trustee, or in lieu thereof, lists of such policies showing the numbers of the policies in effect, the names of the issuing companies, the amounts of such policies, and the property covered by each.

Whenever any proceeds of insurance representing loss of or damage to any part of the mortgaged property and aggregating Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or less in respect of any one loss shall be received by the Company, the Company will (unless the aggregate proceeds since the beginning of the current calendar year as to which the provisions of this paragraph are applicable shall be Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or less) within six months thereafter deliver to the Trustee:

A. A Certificate of the Company setting forth

(1) The amount of insurance moneys so received.

(2) That a specified amount (i) has been applied by the Company to the replacement, renewal, repair or rebuilding of the destroyed or damaged property or (ii) is required to pay obligations incurred for the replacement, renewal, repair or rebuilding of the damaged or destroyed property.

B. Cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amount specified in Clause (1) of the Certificate of the Company delivered pursuant to the foregoing Paragraph A over the amount specified in Clause (2) of such Certificate of the Company.

Any insurance moneys received by the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall be held by the Trustee, and shall be paid over to the Company by the Trustee upon receipt of an Application of the Company so requesting—

(1) In the case of any loss in an amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or less, such moneys shall be paid over in an amount equal to expenditures made in repairing or replacing the damaged or destroyed property for which such insurance moneys were paid, or the fair value to the Company of such repairs or replacements, whichever shall be the lesser amount, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificate of the Company, signed also by an Engineer, showing the expenditures made for such purposes and stating that the fair value to the Company of such repairs or replacements is not less than the expenditures so made.

(2) In the case of any loss in an amount greater than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), and also, at the option of the Company, in the case of any loss in an amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or less, such moneys shall be paid over in an amount equal to the Gross Amount of Property Additions shown in the Property Additions Certificate delivered pursuant to Clause (c) of Paragraph B below, upon receipt by the Trustee of the following:


A.	An Application of the Company requesting the payment of a specified amount of such cash and stating whether any part of the cash so to be withdrawn is Funded Cash.


B.	The Certificates, Opinions and other instruments which the Company would be required to furnish to the Trustee upon an application for the authentication and delivery of additional Bonds under Article V, but with the following variations:


(a)	The provisions of Article V limiting the principal amount of Bonds to be authenticated to seventy percent (70%) of the amount of Property Additions shall be inapplicable to the withdrawal of cash under this Subdivision (2).


(b)	It shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver the instruments required by Paragraphs A, F or G of Section 5.01.


(c)	The Property Additions Certificate required by Paragraph B of Section 5.01—

been acquired by the Company more than two (2) years prior to the delivery of such Property Additions Certificate,

(ii) shall contain a further statement in Clause (2) thereof to the effect that the Property Additions therein described have not theretofore been used by the Company for any purpose of this Restated Indenture, and

(iii) shall omit the data required by Clauses (10), (11) and (13) of said Paragraph B, and such certificate shall show only the Gross Amount of Property Additions.


(d)	The Opinion of Counsel required by Paragraph E of Section 5.01 shall contain an additional Clause (4) to the effect that in the opinion of such counsel all conditions precedent relating to the withdrawal of cash, as set forth in this Section 8.07, have been complied with.

In case the Trustee shall at any time notify the Company in writing that it disapproves of any insurance company with which the Company has taken out any insurance, other insurance satisfactory to the Trustee shall forthwith be effected by the Company.

SECTION 8.09. Advances by Trustee if Company Fails to Perform. If the Company shall fail to perform any of the covenants contained in Sections 8.04 and 8.07, the Trustee may make advances to perform the same in its behalf, but, except as otherwise required by Section 14.01, shall be under no obligation so to do; and all sums so advanced shall be at once repayable by the Company, and shall bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum until paid, and shall be secured hereby, having the benefit of the lien hereby created in priority to the Bonds issued hereunder, but no such advance shall be deemed to relieve the Company from any default hereunder.

SECTION 8.10. Books and Records; Inspection by Trustee. The Company will keep books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions relative to the plants, properties, business and affairs of the Company, and all books, documents and vouchers relative to the plants, properties, business and affairs of the Company shall at all reasonable times be open to the inspection of such reputable accountant or other agent as the Trustee may from time to time designate, and the Company will bear all expenses of such inspections made at intervals of not more than once every two years.

In case the Company shall elect to exercise its option to redeem Bonds at any time it shall give notice of such exercise (1) by delivering to the Trustee written notice, signed by the President or a Vice President of the Company, of intention to redeem Bonds (which notice shall identify all Bonds of the series to be redeemed owned by the Company), specifying the date fixed for redemption (which date, if less than all the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed, shall be at least forty (40) days after the delivery of such notice) and the aggregate principal amount of Bonds so to be redeemed on said date, and (2) by mailing, or by requesting in the notice to the Trustee set forth in subsection (1) above that the Trustee mail (at the Company's expense), by registered mail, postage pre-paid, not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the said redemption date, written notice of the exercise of such right of redemption to each registered holder of any Bond designated for redemption in whole or in part, to the last address of such holder appearing on the registry books for the Bonds.

Each notice to be mailed to the registered holder of Bonds shall state the following: (1) such election on the part of the Company to redeem Bonds, specifying the series to be redeemed and the date fixed for redemption; (2) if less than all of the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed, the distinguishing numbers of the registered Bonds to be redeemed as a whole and the distinguishing numbers of the registered Bonds to be redeemed in part (indicating the extent of the partial redemption thereof, respectively), together with such other description of the Bonds (and portions of Bonds, if any) as may be necessary in order to identify the same, provided that the notice to be mailed to any holder of registered Bonds to be redeemed need not so describe any other Bonds to be redeemed; (3) the redemption price at which such Bonds are to be respectively redeemed; (4) that interest on such Bonds (or on the portion to be redeemed of any of such fully registered Bonds so designated for redemption in part) shall cease on the date fixed for redemption; and (5) that on said date such Bonds should be presented in negotiable form for redemption, as a whole or in part as the case may be, at the place or places of payment of such Bonds.

If less than all of the outstanding Bonds of any series are to be called for redemption and unless otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture under which the Bonds to be redeemed are outstanding, the Bonds of such series to be redeemed shall be designated by the Trustee (within ten (10) days after receipt from the Company of notice of its intention to redeem Bonds) either (i) in accordance with the provisions of any written instrument duly executed by the registered holders of all the Bonds of such series and filed with the Trustee at or prior to such time of designation, or (ii) if the provisions of the foregoing Clause (i) shall not be applicable, by lot in any manner deemed to be proper by the Trustee and not inconsistent herewith.

In any determination by lot under this Section 9.02, (i) Bonds which the notice of intention to redeem hereinabove provided for identifies as owned by the Company shall not be considered to be outstanding and shall be excluded in making the determination of the Bonds to be redeemed and (ii) each registered Bond shall be represented by a separate number for each One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) of its principal amount.

Unless otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture under which the Bonds to be redeemed are outstanding, the Trustee forthwith upon the designation of Bonds for redemption as aforesaid shall give written notice to the Company describing the Bonds (including any portions thereof) designated for redemption as aforesaid. Notice of election to redeem Bonds having been given by the Company as aforesaid, the Bonds (or portions thereof) so designated for redemption shall, on the redemption date designated in such notice, become due and payable, at the redemption price then applicable and, upon presentation thereof for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Bonds (or portions thereof) shall be paid at the redemption price on said date.

If there shall have been designated for redemption as aforesaid, a portion but less than all, of any outstanding registered Bond, then, upon presentation as herein provided of such registered Bond, there shall be paid to or upon the order of the holder of such registered Bond the principal amount of the portion of such registered Bond so designated for redemption, and unpaid accrued interest in respect thereof, together with the applicable premium, if any, and at the option of such holder, either

(a) such registered Bond may be surrendered by such holder for cancellation, in which event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver to or on the order of such holder, at the expense of the Company, one or more new registered Bonds, of the same series and of any authorized denominations or denominations, registered in the name of such holder, for the principal amount of such registered Bond remaining unpaid; or

(b) if such holder shall not so surrender such registered Bond, the Trustee or other paying agent shall upon presentation of such Bond make notation thereon of the payment of the portion of the principal of such Bond so called for redemption.

SECTION 9.03. Cash and Documents to be Delivered to Trustee Prior to Redemption. Before the redemption date specified in any notice given by the Company of its exercise of its right to redeem Bonds, the Company shall deliver to and deposit with the Trustee the following:

A. Cash, in trust, in an amount sufficient to redeem all of the Bonds which are to be redeemed (in whole or in part) on the redemption date specified in such notice, which cash shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the respective holders of such Bonds and shall be paid to them respectively as aforesaid.

B. A Certificate of the Company, stating that all conditions precedent which relate to the redemption of such Bonds have been complied with.

C. An Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent which relate to the redemption of such Bonds have been complied with.

SECTION 9.04. Redemption on Redemption Date; Cancellation of Redeemed Bonds. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds (or the specified portions of registered Bonds) so to be redeemed shall on the date fixed for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price so specified; and if the necessary funds for redemption shall have been deposited with the Trustee as aforesaid and, unless theretofore paid to the holders of such Bonds, be available for payment of such Bonds at the close of business on the date fixed for redemption, from and after the date fixed for redemption, interest on the Bonds or portion thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and in such case, all such Bonds (or portions thereof as aforesaid) shall be excluded from participation in the lien and security afforded by this Restated Indenture and the holders thereof shall look for the payment of such Bonds only to the funds in the hands of the Trustee and not to the Company or the mortgaged property, provided, however, that such funds shall be held subject to the provisions of Section 15.02.

The several holders of the Bonds issued under this Restated Indenture, by accepting the same, agree upon any such redemption to accept payment of the Bonds, or, in the case of a registered Bond of a denomination greater than $1,000 partially redeemed, to accept payment of the amount thereof so redeemed, all as in this Article IX provided.

All Bonds redeemed and paid under this Article IX shall, except as provided in Clause (b) of Section 9.02, be cancelled by the Trustee.

After deducting the expenses of operating said trust estate and of conducting the business thereof, and of all repairs, maintenance, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments, improvements and all payments which it may be required or may elect to make for taxes, assessments, or other proper charges on said trust estate, or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for its own services, and for all agents, clerks and other employees, and for all attorneys and counsel properly engaged and employed, the moneys arising as aforesaid shall be applied as follows:

In case the principal of the Bonds hereby secured shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of the interest in default, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest thereon (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) at the default rate provided for in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Bonds are outstanding; such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto without discrimination or preference, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.01.

In case the principal of any of the Bonds hereby secured shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and shall be unpaid, first to the payment of the accrued interest (with interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on the overdue installments of interest at the default rate provided for in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Bonds are outstanding, and, second, to the payment of the principal of all Bonds hereby secured, and, third, to the payment of premium, if any; in every instance such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled to such payments without any discrimination or preference, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.01.

to make and execute any and all transfers, requests, requisitions or other instruments, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 11.04. Acceleration Upon Event of Default. In case one or more of the Events of Default shall happen and shall be continuing, the Trustee (by notice in writing to the Company) or the holders of twenty-five percent (25%) in amount of the Bonds outstanding (by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee) may declare the principal of all Bonds hereby secured then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, anything in this Restated Indenture or in said Bonds contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of said Bonds shall have been so declared due and payable, before any sale of the trust estate shall have been made, the principal of all Bonds then due otherwise than by reason of such declaration and all arrears of interest upon all Bonds issued hereunder, with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on overdue installments of interest at the default rate provided for in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Bonds are outstanding, and the expenses of the Trustee, shall either be paid by the Company, or be collected out of the trust estate, and all other defaults made good or secured to the satisfaction of the Trustee, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in amount of the Bonds hereby secured then outstanding, by a written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive such default and its consequences in behalf of all bondholders; but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Restated Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or for any other 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 position and rights hereunder in respect of the trust estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

SECTION 11.05. Sale of Trust Estate Upon Event of Default. If one or more of the Events of Default shall happen and shall be continuing, the Trustee may, to the extent permitted by law, with or without entry, personally or by attorney, sell to the highest bidder all and singular the trust estate, property and premises, rights, franchises and interest and appurtenances and real and personal property of every kind, and all right, title, interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, in one lot and as an entirety, unless a sale in parcels shall have been requested by the holders of a majority in amount of the Bonds hereby secured then outstanding, in which case the sale shall, to the extent permitted by law, be made in such parcels as shall be specified in such request, or unless such sale as an entirety is impracticable by reason of some statute or some other cause, which sale or sales shall be made at public auction, at such place, at such time and upon such terms as the Trustee may fix in compliance with applicable law and briefly specify in the notice of sale to be given as herein provided.

The Company, for itself and all persons and corporations hereafter claiming through or under it or who at any time hereafter may become holders of liens junior to the lien of this Restated Indenture, hereby, to the extent permitted by law, expressly waives and releases all right to have the properties comprised in the trust estate marshalled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement

Such payments shall be made on the date fixed therefor by the Trustee, upon presentation of the several Bonds and stamping thereon the amount paid, if such Bonds be only partly paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid;

SECTION 11.13. Amount Due in the Event of Default. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any interest on any Bond or Bonds at any time outstanding and secured by this Restated Indenture, and such default shall have continued for the period of sixty (60) days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of any such Bonds when the same shall become payable, whether upon the maturity of said Bonds, or upon declaration, call for redemption or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds hereby secured, then outstanding, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Bonds then outstanding, for interest, premium, if any, or principal, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on installments

Any moneys thus collected by the Trustee under this Section shall be applied, first, to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, its agents and attorneys, and, second, toward the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such Bonds, in respect of or for the benefit of which such moneys shall have been collected, ratably, and, without any preference or priority of any kind, except as provided in Section 11.01, according to the amounts due and payable upon such Bonds, at the date fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the Bonds and stamping thereon such payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid.

The provisions of this Section 11.13 and the powers granted to the Trustee by this Section are subject to the limitation that if by the commencement or continuance of any action to recover judgment for any amount due and unpaid upon the Bonds hereunder, or by the exercise of any other remedy prior to or concurrently with proceedings to enforce the lien of this Restated Indenture, the lien of this Restated Indenture or the security hereby provided for would be prejudiced, surrendered, waived or lost, the Trustee shall not have power to exercise any such remedy.

SECTION 11.17. Delay is not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of Bonds issued hereunder to exercise any right or power accruing upon and default continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by this Article to the Trustee or to the bondholders, subject to the provisions of Section 11.15, may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the holders of the Bonds.

Proof of the execution of any such request, direction or other instrument, or of the writing appointing any such agent, and of the ownership of Bonds, shall be in form satisfactory to the Trustee.

The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such writing may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take acknowledgments within said jurisdiction, to the effect that the person signing such writing acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution.

The holding of registered Bonds shall be proved by the Bond Register.

Nothing in this Section contained shall be construed as limiting the Trustee to the proof herebefore specified, it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of the matters herein stated which to it may seem sufficient.

(A) in the case of a consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer, contains an express assumption by the Successor Corporation of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Bonds then outstanding and the performance and observance of every covenant and condition of this Restated Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company; and

(B) in the case of a consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer, contains a grant, conveyance, transfer and mortgage by the Successor Corporation, of the same tenor of the granting clauses herein:

(i) confirming the lien of this Restated Indenture on the mortgaged property (as constituted immediately prior to the time such transaction became effective) and subjecting to the lien of this Restated Indenture all property, real, personal and mixed, thereafter acquired by the Successor Corporation which shall constitute an improvement, extension or addition to the mortgaged property (as so constituted) or a renewal, replacement or substitution of or for any part thereof; and

(ii) at the election of the Successor Corporation, subjecting to the lien of this Restated Indenture such property, real, personal or mixed, in addition to the property described in clause (i) of this Section, then owned or thereafter

acquired by the Successor Corporation as the Successor Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, specify or describe therein, and the lien confirmed or created by such grant, conveyance, transfer and mortgage shall have force, effect and standing similar to those which the lien of this Restated Indenture would have had if the Company had not been a party to such consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer and had itself, after the time such transaction became effective, purchased, constructed or otherwise acquired the property subject to such grant, conveyance, transfer and mortgage;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental indenture, comply with this Article XIII and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other person or any conveyance or transfer, subject to the lien of this Restated Indenture, of the mortgaged property as or substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 13.01, the Successor Corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Restated Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the Company herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(1) all property of the Successor Corporation then subject to the lien of this Restated Indenture, of the character described in the definition of “Property Additions”, shall constitute Property Additions;

(2) the Successor Corporation may execute and deliver to the Trustee, and thereupon the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Articles IV, V, VI, and VII, authenticate and deliver, Bonds upon any basis provided in Articles IV, V, VI, and VII; and

All Bonds so executed by the Successor Corporation, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, shall in all respects be entitled to the benefit of the lien of this Restated Indenture equally and ratably with all Bonds executed, authenticated and delivered prior to the time such consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer became effective.

SECTION 13.03. Extent of Lien Hereof on Property of Successor Corporation. Unless, in the case of a consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer contemplated by Section 13.01, the indenture supplemental hereto contemplated in clause (1)(B) in Section 13.01, or any other indenture, contains a grant, conveyance, transfer and mortgage by the Successor Corporation as described in subclause (ii) thereof, neither this Restated Indenture nor such supplemental indenture shall become or be, or be required to become or be, a lien upon any of the properties:

(1) owned by the Successor Corporation or any other party to such transaction (other than the Company) immediately prior to the time of effectiveness of such transaction; or

(2) acquired by the Successor Corporation at or after the time of effectiveness of such transaction, except, in either case, properties acquired from the Company in or as a result of such transaction and improvements, extensions and additions to such properties and renewals, replacements and substitutions of or for any part or parts thereof.

In the case of a conveyance or other transfer to any person or persons as contemplated in Section 13.01, upon the satisfaction of all the conditions specified in Section 13.01, the Company (such term being used in this Section without giving effect to such transaction) shall be released and discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Restated Indenture and on and under all Bonds then outstanding (unless the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an instrument in which it shall waive such release and discharge) and the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that the Company has been so released and discharged.

SECTION 13.05. Merger into Company; Extent of Lien Hereof. Nothing in this Restated Indenture shall be deemed to prevent or restrict any consolidation or merger after the consummation of which the Company would be the surviving or resulting corporation or any conveyance or other transfer, subject to the lien of this Restated Indenture, of any part of the mortgaged property which does not constitute the entirety, or substantially the entirety, thereof.

Unless, in the case of a consolidation or merger described in this Section 13.05, an indenture supplemental hereto shall otherwise provide, this Restated Indenture shall not become or be, or be required to become or be, a lien upon any of the properties acquired by the Company in or as a result of such transaction or any improvements, extensions or additions to such properties or any renewals, replacements or substitutions of or for any part or parts thereof.

ARTICLE XIV

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

The Trustee accepts the trusts hereunder and agrees to perform the same, but only upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Company and the respective holders of the Bonds at any time outstanding by their acceptance thereof agree:

SECTION 14.01. Trustee's Duties. (A) The Trustee undertakes, except while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to exercise such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Restated Indenture, and, while such an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (subject to the provisions of Paragraphs (B) and (C) of this Section 14.01), to exercise such of the rights and powers as are vested in it by this Restated Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as an ordinarily prudent man would do or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(B) Except as elsewhere in this Restated Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto otherwise expressly provided:

(1) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action or make any investigation in respect of the subject matter of this Restated Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto unless requested in writing so to do by the holders or registered owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding; and

(2) whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Restated Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto which in its opinion may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, assured by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Restated Indenture, unless and until requested in writing so to do by one or more holders or registered owners of Bonds outstanding hereunder and furnished, from time to time as may be required, with reasonable security and indemnity; provided, however, that no security or indemnity furnished by the holders or registered owners of Bonds to the Trustee shall be applicable to any liability (a) which is incurred by the Trustee as a result of any action taken by the Trustee not reasonably in accordance with the request or requests delivered to the Trustee by such holders or registered owners of the Bonds, or (b) which is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a liability imposed upon the Trustee as a result of its default or negligence in the performance of the duties imposed upon or undertaken by the Trustee by the terms of this Restated Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto.

(C) The Trustee shall not be personally liable save for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. No provision of this Restated 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

(1) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Restated Indenture; and

(2) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may rely conclusively, as to the truth of the statements

and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions conforming to the requirements of this Restated Indenture; and

(3) 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 no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Restated Indenture against the Trustee, but the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Restated Indenture; and

(4) 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 such percentage in principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding as are entitled under the provisions of this Restated Indenture so to direct the taking or omission of such action.

(D) The Trustee, upon receipt of the evidence furnished to it by or on behalf of the Company, pursuant to any provision of this Restated Indenture, will examine the same to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the requirements of this Restated Indenture.

(E) The Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by it upon the trust estate, for debts contracted or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation thereof.

(F) To the extent permitted by Subdivisions (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 14.01:

(1) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, bond, resolution, appraisal, report 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 (who may be independent counsel to the Company) and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(G) The recitals and statements contained herein and in the Bonds issued hereunder shall not be considered as made by or as imposing any obligation or liability upon the Trustee. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity of this Restated Indenture or of any indenture supplemental hereto, or of any Bonds issued hereunder, or as to the security hereby or thereby afforded, or as to the title of the Company to the mortgaged property or as to the descriptions thereof.

The Company agrees that it will from time to time on demand pay to the Trustee reasonable compensation for services rendered by the Trustee hereunder, reimburse the Trustee for all expenditures, including advances to and fees and expenses of independent appraisers, accountants, surveyors, engineers, counsel or other experts employed in the exercise and performance of its

powers and duties hereunder, and indemnify and save the Trustee 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, as well as the reasonable cost and expense of defending against any claim of liability in the premises; and, as security for such indemnification, reimbursement and compensation, the Trustee shall have the benefit of the lien hereby created in priority to the indebtedness evidenced by the Bonds issued hereunder.

(H) Whenever, in the administration of the trusts created by this Restated Indenture, the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established prior to its taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed), subject to Subdivisions (A) and (C) of this Section, may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Certificate of the Company, and such certificate shall be full warrant and authority to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Restated Indenture in reliance thereon; but the Trustee in its discretion may, and if requested in writing so to do by the holders or registered owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and furnished with security and indemnity against the costs and expenses of such examinations as required by Subdivision (B) of this Section, shall require such further and additional evidence and make such further investigation as to it may seem reasonable. The agents and representatives of the Trustee and any experts or counsel whose opinions are required by the Trustee for any purpose hereunder or are deliverable to the Trustee under any provision hereof shall likewise be fully warranted in relying and acting upon the existence of any matters proved or established by any such certificate, unless other evidence establishing such fact or facts be specifically required by this Restated Indenture.

(I) Subject to the provisions of Section 15.02, all moneys received by the Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Restated Indenture or any supplemental indenture (including any moneys received by the Trustee as paying agent) shall constitute trust funds for the purpose for which they were paid or are held, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys and may be deposited by the Trustee under such conditions as may be prescribed by law.

(J) The Trustee may acquire and hold Bonds issued hereunder and otherwise deal with the Company or with any other corporation having relations with the Company, in the same manner and to the same extent and with like effect as though it were not the Trustee.

(K) Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Restated Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee on the Company shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given and served for all purposes by being deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office letter box, addressed to the Company at P.O. Box 1400, Rapid City, South Dakota 57702, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, or at such other address as the Company may have furnished to the Trustee in writing.

(L) Except when otherwise in this Restated Indenture expressly provided, any order, request, notice, consent or other instrument in writing to be delivered or furnished by the Company to the Trustee shall be sufficiently executed if signed by its President or a Vice-President and by its

Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or its Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer; or by such officer or officers as the Board of Directors of the Company may by resolution direct. A copy of any resolution of the Board of Directors to be delivered or furnished by the Company to the Trustee shall be sufficiently certified if certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.

SECTION 14.02. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (A) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article XIV shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 14.03.

(B) The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trusts created by this Restated Indenture by giving to the Company notice in writing, and to the Bondholders notice by publication, of such resignation, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which notice shall be published at least once a week for two successive calendar weeks, on any day of each such week, the first publication to be at least ten days prior to the date so specified, in one Authorized Publication printed in the English language customarily published on each Business day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and one Authorized Publication in the City and County of Denver, Colorado. Such resignation shall take effect on the day specified in such notice, unless previously a successor trustee shall have been appointed as provided in Section 14.03, in which event such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of such successor trustee.

(C) The Trustee may be removed at any time by an instrument or instruments in writing, executed by the holders or registered owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and filed with the Trustee and with the Company.

SECTION 14.03. Appointment of Successor Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall resign or shall be removed or otherwise shall become incapable of acting, a successor may be appointed by the holders or registered owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, by an instrument or instruments in writing, executed by such Bondholders and filed with the successor trustee; but, until a new Trustee shall be appointed by the Bondholders as herein authorized, the Company, by an instrument in writing executed by order of its Board of Directors and filed with the successor Trustee, shall and hereby covenants that it will appoint a Trustee to fill such vacancy. After any such appointment by the Company, it shall cause notice of such appointment to be published once a week, for two successive calendar weeks, in one Authorized Publication printed in the English language customarily published on each business day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and one Authorized Publication in the City and County of Denver, Colorado, but any new Trustee so appointed by the Company shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a Trustee appointed by the holders or registered owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds in the manner hereinabove provided.

Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, conveyance or transfer, shall become vested with the title to the mortgaged property, with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its

predecessor in the trust hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. Upon the request of such successor Trustee, however, the Company and the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute 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 ceasing to act in and to the mortgaged property and all such rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, and the Trustee ceasing to act shall also assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any property subject to the lien of this Restated Indenture which may then be in its possession.

Every successor Trustee hereunder shall always be a state or national bank or trust company in good standing, organized under the laws of the State of New York or the State of Colorado or of the United States of America and doing business in The City of New York or in the City and County of Denver, Colorado, having a capital, undivided profits and surplus aggregating at least Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000), if there be such a bank or trust company willing and able to accept such trust upon reasonable and customary terms.

SECTION 14.04. Provision as to Merger of Trustee. 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 state or national bank or trust company in any manner succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee or of any successor trustee as a whole or substantially as a whole, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding. In case any of the Bonds shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor trustee may adopt the certificate of the Trustee and deliver the same so authenticated; and in case any of such Bonds shall not have been authenticated, any such successor trustee may authenticate such Bonds in the name of such successor trustee.

SECTION 14.05. Power to Appoint Co-Trustee. At any time or times, in order to conform to any legal requirements, the Trustee and the Company shall have power to appoint, and upon request of the Trustee the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and the performance of all acts necessary or proper to appoint, another trust company or bank or one or more individuals, approved by the Trustee, either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any part of the trust estate jointly with the Trustee, or to act as substitute trustee or trustees of any part of the same, and in any case with all such of the powers, rights, duties, obligations and immunities hereby conferred or imposed on the Trustee, and for such term, if any limitation is placed thereon, as may be specified in the instrument of appointment, the same to be exercised jointly with the Trustee, 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 co-trustee or co-trustees or substitute trustee or trustees; and, if an event of default shall have happened and shall not have been remedied or if the Company shall fail to join with the Trustee in any such appointment within five days after being requested by the Trustee so to do, the Trustee shall have power, without any action on the part of the Company and without the necessity of the execution of any such instrument of appointment by the Company, to appoint such co-trustee or

co-trustees or substitute trustee or trustees as aforesaid, and to execute all instruments and perform all acts necessary or convenient and proper for such purpose. The Trustee may receive the opinion of any counsel selected and approved by it as to the necessity or propriety of appointing any such co-trustee or substitute trustee and as to the form and effect of any such instrument to be executed or any act to be taken to effect such appointment and as to any other matter arising under this Section, and, subject to the provisions of Section 14.01, such opinion shall be full protection to Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it pursuant thereto.
